The expansion will also include space for the campus bookstore, student organizations, OMSA and other student body related attractions. Bamburak said nothing in the current layout is set in stone, but it's a step closer in the planning process. Wang Still Hangin' Around I ,BY RYAN KAMPHUIS AND CHRISTINA FANNING Releasing its recommendation, the Faculty Rights and I Responsibilities Committee (FRRC) has given some closure to questions raised by students, faculty and staff curious about the employment status of a sociology professor whom the chancellor rec01jlmended for dismissal in the spring of 2005. On June 3 the Faculty Rights and Responsibilities Committee commended that Professor Xun (George) Wang receive a demotion to Assistant Professor and a reduction of $5,000 in his salary for refusing to teach a Weekend College course last fall. The committee's decision is in response to the administrative actions following Wang's refusal to teach Introduction to Sociology asa weekend college course last year. Wang refused to teach the course because he was assigned to teach three courses for the weekend college without compensation and felt that was an unfair andinequitable employment practice. The initial response by the university came when Donald Cress, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, filed a complaint Onemonth later accusing Wang of misconduct. In the complaint, I DeanCress asked for dismissal or disciplinary action in the matter. VIceChancellor William Streeter then began an investigation of theallegations. ,Since this first complaint was filed, there have been several heanngs held by university officials as well as demonstrations and actsof support for Professor Wang by students. Wang spoke to students about his stance on the issue and i gavehis reasons for refusing to teach the course in December, and the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) passed \ a resolution shortly thereafter supporting Wang's continued employment at Uw-Parkslde. PSGA's resolution stated,"[To] assign one individual to teach all three courses for the Weekend College without any compensation is an unfair, inequitable employment practice. It does not change the unfair nature of the assignment, regardless if [...] Wang took the job voluntarily in 1994." The report went 'on to accede that the university's treatment of Wang was "different" and "unfair" in comparison with other faculty of the sociology and anthropology department. ·"1 support the resolution that was. passed by student government last semester," then-Vice President Dave Koss said in an interview with The Ranger News. But Wang received a letter on March 3 from John Keating, UW-Parkide chancellor, that recommended his dismissal to the UW-System Board of Regents. A student rally was held on March 7 in reaction to the letter. in which approximately 80 students, including current PSGA President Dave Koss and Vice President Christopher Landgrebe, marched from the Union Cinema to the gathering spot in Upper Main Place. where studenl organizers read a letter from Professor Wang explaining his complaints and the gathered chanted slogans in support of the professor. Local media swarmed the issue throughout the spring and early summer, but details regarding Wang's status as a professor have been scarce, as campus and system administrators who have .yet to make their final decision regarding the matter have declined comment on the basis that it is a personnel issue. TherecommendationbytheFacutlyRightsandResponsibilities Committee is an alternative that has been presented to Chancellor Keating to present to the Board of Regents rather than dismissal. In order for either dismissal or the reduction in rank to take place, the UW-System Board of Regents must approve the measure because of Professor Wang's status as a tenured professor. Near Tragedy Averted At Soccer Game BY JASON GRlFFES Tragedy nearly struck the uw- Parkside campus during a recent men's horne soccer game. On September II, the Rangers were hosting Drury University at Wood Road Field when official, Dennis Weibe, had a massive heart attack. The incident occurred during the second half of the game. "The game administrators noticed that Mr. Wiebe appeared to be disoriented," said Dave Williams, athletic director for UW-Parkside. "He bent over twice and looked as though he was dizzy." Williams said that Wiebe admitted he didn't feel well after grabbing his left arm in pain. They stopped the game immediately. When approached by Williams and athletic trainer Deena Curtis, Wiebe fell directly into their arms. Curtis evaluated Wiebe's pain and symptoms then hooked him up to an AED, or automated external defibrillator, which monitors the individual's heart patterns and will administer shock if needed. 911 was immediately called, and Williams went to Wood Road to flag down the ambu lance. . UW-Parkside police arrived first on the scene, about two minutes after the call. The Kenosha ambulance showed up about five minutes after the call was made. Wiebe was rushed to the hospital where he was administered emergency surgery that day. Wiebe was released from the hospital and is now at home resting. He has a long road of recovery ahead of him. "I would like to say that 1 am very proud nf our athletic training staff for the way this unfortunate situation was handled," said Williams. "They should be commended for their efforts." Curtis said that she is also very .proud of everyone who helped out in the incident "There is not a single thing I would do different with the individual," she said. According to Curtis, many individuals commented on how well the 'situation was handled and that it looked as if they had done it before. The only things that she thought could be changed were some of the aspects of the situation. such as crowd control. There is a system in place for when this type of episode occurs. The NCAA ranks sporting events according to their risk factor and takes into account the crowd attending as well as the nature of the sporting event. This factor is what decides where CUIUS and the mobile AED machine are on a given day. The higher-risk-factor events are where the AED machine will be available. This does not mean, however, that if there are multiple events the AED machine will only be avaiJable at the one with the highest risk.

Thi 2 -- The Ranger News Letter From The Editor Toward the end of last year and over the course of the summer, a lot of people asked me if I was serious about the newspaper going weekly. Second guesses were happening left and right - I've heard everything from "Not enough happens on campus" to "It's going to be impossible for the staff to balance a weekly newspaper and academic classes." I was also asked if it is reasonable to publish a weekly newspaper, given UW-Parkside has no journalism department. Working for the newspaper requires a staff member to dismiss the belief that nothing happens on campus. Many students quickly become poster-blind, because they get bombarded and overwhelmed with flyers, brochures and information throughout the hallways here. In order to produce a newspaper, we have to be aware of all these happenings and believe that the suggestion that nothing . happens on campus is utterly false. During the Chancellor's Leadership Institute, a sort of student leadership training for organization members this summer, Jack Keating said that some of the most successful people are the ones who are busy all the time. In so many words, he went on to say that when a person has a jam-packed schedule and sticks to it, that person has to schedule time for everything, including recreation. When it's all mapped out, priorities are set in place, and time is spent in (hopefully) the most productive way possible. I believe this is true, which is why I'm not at alJ worried about balancing my academics with the newspaper. Such a busy lifestyle certainly takes some getting used to, but at the end of each day it feels great, and it has ultimately proven to provoke me to study more than I did when I used to have three days in a row off. I know it has been difficult for our staff, but they are adjusting and continuing to perform well. The question concerning not having a journalism program here is off the mark too. While I wish there was a major, minor, or even certificate in journalism offered at UW-Parkside, I believe the best way to learn journalism is to do journalism. Currently, The Ranger News is the journalism program. Our first workshop, Wednesday, September 21 at noon in Molinaro D139, is entitled "Journalism 101: An Introduction to Purpose and Prose." Co-hosted by the co-editors of The Ranger News, we are going to explain the operations and processes of journalism to our new staff members, potential staff members, and any student in.terested in learning how to do journalism. Our claim: any student who attends this 45-minute workshop will leave having practiced journalism with a foothold on how to continue. If enough students show interest in journalism, a degree in it from UW-Parkside will develop. As for the weekly thing, it's happening. After our success last year, it was the next logical step for the newspaper to take, propelling us further as an important media outlet on campus. 1fi24 Henry D.
