Pink People help parents
by Julie Pendleton
Registration often presents a
number of problems for students
with children. The process of registering
is tedious enough without
the added stress of bringing young
children along.
In response to this, the Parkside
Child Care Center and Peer Support,
in a cooperative effort, developed
the concept of Pink People.
Pink People are students trained at
the Child Care Center who will be
present at registration to entertain
children with songs, stories and
games. No designated area will be
set up as a daycare area. Instead,
Pink People will roam around the
registration area with their pink toy
bags, looking for children to amuse.
Pink People will introduce themselves
to the children as "parents'
helpers" and signs will be posted,
informing parents of this service.
One Pink Person will be on duty at
all times during registration. Pink
People will be easily recognized by
the bright pink T-shirts they will be
wearing.
Funds for this project were donated
by Peer Support.

US/USSR relations examined
by Kari Dixon
by Julie Pendleton
It is required by law that Parkside
reopen bidding on its food service
every five years. Since Heritage
Food Service, Inc. has been with
the university since 1980, in June of
this year their contract will expire.
"Heritage has done a good job
here," said Bill Niebuhr, Director
of the Union. "They plan to rebid."
Bidding is a complicated process.
Numerous details must be taken
into consideration when a company
decides to bid. However, the
amount of rebate a company is able
to give the university is the deciding
factor. This amount is based on
day-to-day cash sales, catering
events and camp conventions.
There are several changes in the
specifications of the new contract.
Most obvious is the introduction of
new products, such as the stuffed
potato. Five years ago, when the
contract was drawn up, this item
was not popular. Now that it is,
specifications must be included for
it in the new contract.
In addition, changes have been
made in a company's participation
in promotion and advertising. As
stated in the new contract, they
will be required to spend a certain
amount of their sales on promotion
and advertising.
Also included is a provision for a
food program in the event that oncampus
housing does develop.
"Housing will inevitably have a
positive impact on the amount of
total sales," said Niebuhr. "Therefore
the amount of rebate will increase
and the Union budget will
require less from segregated student
fees." If on-campus housing
does become a reality, the university
and the contractor will sit
down at that time and reach a mutual
agreement on the program.
As for the employees presently
employed by Heritage, if a new
company does take over the service,
it will be their decision as to
whom they wish to retain. "Staff
usually remains basically the
same," said Niebuhr. "It's the
management that changes."
On March 28, a bidders' meeting
was held at Parkside. Eight potential
bidders arrived for presentation
on the new contract specifications.
Included were Heritage, Canteen
Corporation, Professional Food
Management, Ace Foods, Creative
Food Service, Servomation, Western
Food Service and Kenosha
Achievement Center. After the presentation,
they were taken on a
tour of the facilities, then were
given time to ask questions.
A sealed bid opening will be held
on Wednesday, April 17 in Madison.
All companies must either bring or
send their bids to Madison by 2
p.m. that day. The envelopes will
then be opened, all at once, when
everyone is present. (All bidders
are not required to have a representative
present.)
"The UW bidding process is one
of the most detailed and complicated
bids in the United States,"
said Niebuhr. "The reason for this
is so we can ensure certain levels of
quality and make the process completely
honest and above board."
Approximately three weeks after
public announcement of the bids is
made, the Office of Auxiliary Operations
in Madison will make a final
decision. "The intervening time is
used for any necessary evaluation,
either by the university or the contractor,"
Niebuhr said. The official
take-over, if Heritage does not win
the bid, is June 1.
Rebidding for vending service
follows the same process.

three main areas as being linked
and we want to negotiate each part
separately."
Albright said she would like to
see summits like the one Reagan
offered Gorbachev become an annual
event, but without becoming
strictly a media event.

"The Soviets are not like us, but
they are not ten feet tall, either,"
she said. "They are not a democracy,
but we should manage the rivalry
in areas, like trade, where
ideology does not make that much
difference."
"The new Soviet leader and his
wife are not the Kennedys, and
Russia is not becoming Camelot,"
said Madelyn Albright, former
member of the National Security
Council, when she spoke April 4 a t
Parkside. "In the short run, Mikhail
Gorbachev will probably be
good for the US, but in the long
term, he may be bad."
Albright was a member of the
National Security Council during
the Carter administration and assisted
in writing the memoirs of Zbigniew
Brzezinski. She was active in
the campaigns of Edwin Muskie
and Walter Mondale and is a professor
of political science at Georgetown
University, where she
teaches a course on the Soviet
Union.
According to Albright, the last
three years have been the worst in
the history of US and Soviet relations.
"In the last forty years, the
US has lost its nuclear monopoly,
and the Soviets have become a military
equal," she said. "At the same
time, however, the Soviets have
fallen economically and technologically
behind us."
The main aims of the Soviets
right now, according to Albright,
are to protect their borders, spread
their ideology and compete with
and possibly defeat the US. The
goals of the US, she said, include an
increased military and defense
budget, border security and the
prevention of the spread of communism.
"The United States supports the
status quo," she said, "while the
Soviets are expansionists."
The most important thing to
remember about Gorbachev, Albright
stated, is that he is a loyal
member of the Communist Party.
"He is a Party man, and he may reform
the system, but he certainly is
not going to get rid of it."
The agenda Gorbachev faces on
the domestic front is a difficult one,
according to Albright. There is a
stagnant economy, agricultural production
is abysmal and corruption
among officials is common.

Letter to the Editor
China's abortion view
To the Editor:
Although pro-choice and pro-life
individuals can find little common
ground in the abortion debate, recent
actions taken by the Chinese
government will incite sincere individuals
in both camps to take action.
According to a series on China's
population program appearing in
the Jan. 6-8 i ssues of "The Washington
Post," China has implemented
a forced abortion program,
where many pregnancies are terminated
in their last trimester,
some as late as the ninth month. In
the province of Gansu, a place
where pregnant women gathered
after fleeing from their homes to
escape harassment, local officials
were ordered to "terminate within
a limited time all unplanned pregnancies
of women not in their
home residential area," according
to an internal document.
While there is no direct U.S. aid
to China, two organizations responsible
for China's population
control efforts, the International
Planned Parenthood Foundation
(IPPF) and the United Nations
Fund for Population Activities
(UNFPA) are provided with onequarter
of their annual budgets by
Congress. Although IPPF is no longer
eligible for further U.S. aid,
UNFPA gave the Chinese population
control program $50 million in
aid between 1981 and 1984 and has
started another $50 million grant.
Congress has earmarked $46 million
for UNFPA in 1985.
One of the individuals who will
play a major role in determining if
the $46 million will be released to
UNFPA is Rep. David Obey of
Wisconsin, who serves as Chairman
of the House Appropriations Committee
Subcommittee on Foreign
Operations. His mailing address is:
2217 Rayburn Building, Washington
DC 20515. Also, you can write your
congressman and urge him or her
to oppose further aid to UNFPA.
Pro-choice advocates have to
agree that women in China have no
choice to do what they want with
their own bodies. Pro-life advocates,
especially those of you who
voted for Reagan, must realize that
your responsibilities do not end at
the ballot box.
Sincerely,
Corby James Anderson
Barca takes stand
on farm issues
State Representative Peter W.
Barca today released the text of a
recent letter he sent to local lending
institutions urging them to take
part in a state loan guarantee program
for economically distressed
farmers that the legislature adopted
recently.
"This has the potential to be a
very successful program for rural
Wisconsin," Barca wrote to the
lenders. "But its success depends
on a strong commitment on your
part. I hope that you will make a
concerted effort to make this program
available through your lending
institution to the farmers who
qualify."
The state loan guarantee program
is designed for farmers who
are unable to receive credit to buy
seed, fertilizer, pesticides and fuel
for spring planting. Farmers will be
able to receive up to $20,000 u nder
the program through private lending
institutions. The loans will have
an interest rate ceiling of 11 percent,
but the state will buy down
two interest points, resulting in
loans being issued nine percent. In
case of a default, the state will
reimburse the lender for 90 percent
of the remaining principal.
Barca said this program will benefit
all segments of the rural economy.
"It is all too clear that a farm
failure has a ripple effect that
reverberates throughout the countryside.
By buying the farmers
time, we are also ensuring that the
farmer will continue to patronize
the merchants who depend on the
farm trade for their livelihood.
Without this trade, these businesses
also would be in dire straits."
Barca closed by saying that
members of the legislature are not
"fooling ourselves into believing
that this program is a cure-all for
the farm crisis." But he said that
the program will help farmers who
are in trouble to get their spring
crops in the ground, which was the
intent of the legislation.
Next Roundtable cancelled
Nobody asked me, but...
Parkside is losing sight of its purpose
The Social Science Roundtable
scheduled at Parkside for Monday,
April 15 titled "Ethics in International
Politics" has been cancelled.
All other Roundtables will be
held as scheduled. They include
"The U.S.S.R. Revisited" on April
22, "How Children Learn to Talk"
on April 29 and "The Brazilian
Presidential Election" on May 6.
When the University of
Wisconsin-Parkside was in its developmental
stages, one of its
prime concerns was to offer an outstanding
science-oriented educational
opportunity to the residents
of the area. Since Racine and Kenosha,
as well as the outlying areas,
are in the heart of Wisconsin's industrial
and manufacturing community,
a great need for highy technical
bachelor of science programs
was realized. Area manufacturers
showed interest in the development
of mechanical, electricaj and computer
science programs.
The original intentions of this
campus and the development of individual
programs to satisfy the industrial
and manufacturing community
seem to be lagging far behind,
especially when comparisons are
made with the development and
progress of the liberal arts programs
(i.e. art, music, drama).
Chancellor Guskin has publicly referred
to Parkside as being a liberal
arts school when in fact the majority
of students attending Parkside
are enrolled in business and science
programs. (61% BS vs. 39% BA).
Probably one of the biggest issues
that concerns the science division,
especially engineering science,
is the fact that the electrical engineering
technology and mechanical
engineering technology programs
are not recognized as being accredited
programs by the Accrediting
Board for Engineering and Technology
(A.B.E.T.). Also, the American
Society of Professional Engineers
(A.S.P.E.) will not recognize
the engineering programs offered
at Parkside as being adequate training
for membership in their organization.
Each state offers a licensing and
registration procedure for recognition
of an individual as a professional
engineer. To become licensed
by the State of Wisconsin as a
professional engineer, a person
must successfully pass an eight
hour Fundamentals of Engineering
exam (Engineer in Training) and
then pass an eight hour Principals
of Practice exam (Professional Engineer).
Along with the successful
completion of these exams, a person
must obtain four years' work
experience as an engineer and show
proof of a ttendance and completion
of an A.B.E.T.-accredited, fouryear
degree (this degree can be a
BSET).
Parkside engineering graduates
have been given the opportunity to
take the E.I.T. exams and the P.E.
exams. Last year 80% of the Parkside
students who took the E.I.T
exam received a passing grade. The
state-wide pass rate for this exam is
substantially lower than 80%. This
seems to indicate that the curriculum
offered and the faculty members
who are teaching the engineering
and science programs are doing
their jobs. With the "track-record"
that Parkside graduates are beginning
to display, it is becoming obvious
that the engineering programs
are developing very well.
So the real question is: Why
haven't these programs been accredited
by the A.B.E.T.? If minor
adjustments must be made in the
curriculum to satisfy A.B.E.T.'s requirements,
then let them be
made! Certainly no one in the engineering
department will complain
if the students are required to earn
three more credits of calculus or
one more credit in statistics. If a
few more full-time professors must
be hired, then it should be done.
The job future of the graduates
may be at stake and it doesn't seem
fair that these graduates are being
put at a disadvantage just because
the development of the engineering
programs at Parkside has yet to be
completed.
Chancellor Guskin has done a
tremendous job and has been commended
by both the University and
the community. It is no secret that
his interests lie with the liberal arts
program. We hope the next chancellor
will have an equal interest in
both arts and sciences.

Russian tour diverse
by Kari Dixon
A visit to the summer palace of
Peter the Great, a ballet based on
the history of Armenia and the
death of Constantin Chernenko
were some of the experiences of
the 13 people who traveled to the
Soviet Union on the Parkside Soviet
Study Tour over spring break.
The group, led this year by
Political Science Professor Ken
Hoover, was combined with a
group from Oshkosh and crossed
paths with other UW groups during
the tour — the 17th year of this
program. They traveled to Leningrad,
Erevan (the capitol of Soviet
Armenia), Tbilisi (the capitol of
Soviet Georgia) and Moscow.
Hoover was in a department
store in Leningrad when the death
of Chernenko was announced. "We
were aware that the public address
system was asking everyone to be
quiet, and then a clerk explained
that he had died," Hoover said.
"Then business resumed after not
too much of a pause."
Hoover said there was not a lot
of evidence during or after the announcement
of Chernenko's death
that this was a personal loss for
Soviet citizens.
"Like Gorbachev, Chernenko
was a product of the communist
party rather than a military hero or
popularly elected leader," he said.
"There was no real sense of identity
with him."
The Soviet lifestyle differs
greatly from ours. In the Soviet
Union, housing, food, health care,
transportation and education are all
heavily subsidized by the government.
The average Russian family,
Hoover said, lives in an apartment
with primitive kitchen appliances
that are too small for their needs.
"Cars are expensive and difficult
to maintain. Stereos are becoming
more popular, although they, too,
are quite expensive," he said.
Contact with Soviet citizens apart
from the tour was difficult, Hoover
said, because of government restrictions.
"Soviet citizens do not go
to Intourist hotels, and if they are
too friendly to foreigners, they can
expect to be talked to and harassed,"
Hoover said.
Hoover said that black marketeering
is found in Soviet Georgia.
Alcoholism is present throughout
the country. "In Tbilisi I did see
two beggars, but one gets the feeling
that the streets are relatively
safe, even late at night."
Throughout the tour, Hoover
said, one was reminded of the different
form of government. "In
Tbilisi we were followed for most
of an afternoon and into our hotel
lobby after dinner," he said. "The
way the tour is set up means that
you only get to see the things regarded
as aspects of a model society."
Hoover will speak more about
the tour when he presents the
Social Science Roundtable on April
22.
Strengthening contacts helpful
Four members of the Parkside
Hispanic Club attended the second
annual Hispanic Leadership Conference
in Whitewater on March 30.
They were Jesus Alvarado, Jose M.
Anaya. Juana Cortez and Carmen
Acosta.
The keynote speech was delivered
by Luis Alvarez who has been
president of National Urban Fellows,
Inc. since 1976. He is director
of Aspira and has worked on "Sesame
Street" with PBS. Born in
Puerto Rico and raised in New-
York. Alvarez serves as a role
model to Hispanics. He has political
influence .in America as well as
other countries. He accompanied
President Carter to Panama, and
he has represented the United
States in Israel.
Alvarez, as president of National
Urban Fellows, seeks applicants
from minority groups with demonstrated
leadership potential for
mid-career fellowships in public administration.
Fellowship assignments
are made at all levels of government.
Past Fellows hve worked
with such urban executives and national
political leaders as Los Angeles
Mayor Tom Bradley, Alan
Beals, Executive Director of the
National League of Cities and San
Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros.
Alvarez also talked about the recognition
of his own pain and conflicts
as well as the problems of
other Puerto Ricans in America.
He viewed Puerto Requenios as
having an identity crisis because of
their lack of self-esteem. Puero Ricans
are recent immigrants, but are
unique because they are already
American citizens. Puerto Ricans
have some conflict with Americans
solely because of this political identity.
He stated that the emergence of
Hispanic people has become a force
in some cities, such as Miami. The
three most significant factors for
Hispanics and other Americans to
recognize are that 90 percent of the
Hispanic population in the United
States has been urbanized, Hispanics
have the highest birth rate of
any minority group and Hispanics
already have some visible political
status. Whatever political potential
Hispanics have is still underdeveloped
because they have only just
started to recognize their self-determination.
Hispanics are realizing
that they have the right to define
their destinies. Alvarez said Hispanics
need to become aware of the
potential of leadership within themselves.
Hispanics can emerge politically
by becoming highly vocal as
well as visible in political matters,
according to Alvarez.
Alvarez emphasized the unfortunate
position of many Hispanic
women, who are often abandoned
and live in poverty. In order to improve
this situation, Hispanic men
need to address the poverty among
their mothers, their wives and their
children. Hispanic men need to
open their eyes to the fact that
women are the transmitters of their
"rasa" and should be provided for
and protected. Above all, Hispanics
need to work together to transcend
the poverty level.
Regents accept research funding
More than $35,000 in funds supporting
research and instruction at
Parkside was accepted Friday.
April 5 by the UW System Board of
Regents.
The Regents accepted $1,000
from the American Sociological Association
in Washington D.C. for a
national conference on the theme
of "Women at Work" being organized
by Parkside sociology professor
Anne Statham.
The conference, to be held in the
Kenosha-Racine area next fall, will
be co-sponsored by the National
Commission on Working Women
and will be the first of its kind. It
will feature people from higher
education, government, women's
advocacy groups and labor unions,
all of whom will discuss their research
into women in the workplace.
Statham, whose research specialty
concerns the changing roles of
women in modern society, recently
conducted a study of the differences
in the management styles of
men and women. The study has received
national attention, including
a front-page description in the Wall
Street Journal.
Also accepted by the Regents
was $28,238 from the New York
State Department of Commerce for
a research project by Parkside's
Center for Survey and Marketing
Research (CSMR). The CSMR, directed
by business professor James
Rovelstad, will set up and implement
an economic measurement
system to gauge the impact of tourism
on the state of New York. The
study is made possible by a special
computer program called "TRAITS
II" developed by Rovelstad.
The Regents also accepted $3,000
from the Kenosha Area Chamber of
Commerce for a retail shopping
study conducted by the CSMR and
for research services the CSMR
provided to the Kenosha Area Economic
Development.
In addition, the Regents accepted
$1,800 from multiple donors
to defray the costs of producing the
training manual on the problems of
mentally retarded criminal offenders.
The manual, being done by
UW Extension professor Kim
Baugrud, is for use by the 50 largest
police departments in the U.S., including
those in New York City.
Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and
Detroit.
Also, the Regents accepted $400
for the DeRose Marketing Scholarship
Fund for Parkside students
majoring in marketing. Half the
money came from Parkside alumnus
Roger DeRose and half in
matching funds from his employer,
S.C. Johnson & S on, Inc.
NEWS BRIEFS
Mondale admits mishandling
Walter Mondale, talking about his defeat in the 1984 presidential
election, said he "fundamentally mishandled my case to the American
people" by failing to emphasize the positive side of his message.
"They heard opportunity from the other side, they didn't hear it
from me," Mondale said Sunday on the TV program "Meet the
Press.
While Mondale said that he was "essentially correct on the fundamental
issues," he was no match for Reagan when it came to communicating.
He said the Democratic Party in the future will have to
field candidates who in addition to being right on the issues and stating
them correctly "can master this modern challenge of communication
in this huge country of ours."
Republicans support Contras
A poster urging Americans to support a freedom fighter is being
used by College Republicans to help raise private funds for Nicaraguan
rebels, Cox News Service reported.
The poster, which asks Americans to adopt a Contra and support
his effort to overthrow the Nicaraguan government for "only 53 cents
a day," has drawn fire from some Republicans in Congress.
The text of the poster, which was produced by the College Republican
National Committee and modeled after the "Save the Children"
ads, urges Americans to help Charley, a menacing-looking young Nicaraguan,
in his fight.
"I have taken up arms against the Soviet Empire and its satellite
government in Nicaragua and I need your help," Charley declares.
A White House spokesman, who said people "have the right to give
money to whoever they want," described the group as a maverick organization
over which the administration has little control.
Frequent flyers t axed
The Internal Revenue Service will hear testimony next week on
whether "frequent flier" programs should be viewed as fringe benefits
and taxed accordingly, the New York Times reported.
IRS spokesman Ellen Murphy said the agency did not suggest taxation
of the benefits, but it was proposed when the agency solicited
comments on taxing the use of company cars and planes.
If bonus coupons are received by an individual for personal flights
or corporations use bonus coupons for business travel, then the free
flights are not likely to be taxed. The problem lies with individuals
who earn the flights on business travel and then use them for personal
use.
Spokesmen for American and United Airlines, the nations two
largest carriers, said the program is the most succesful promotion
they ever tried. Each airline has about 2 million fliers in the program.
A spokeswoman for American Airlines, Linda Johnson, said it is
too early to tell whether taxing the program will have any effect. A
United spokesman did not comment.

Childhood friendships - Nutt visits campus
central to development
by Kathy Hart
Child Care Center
James and Cory, both 3 years
old, are busy building a rocket ship
together. "Can I play, too?" asks
Sarah. "No," replies Cory. "James
and I are friends." James nods in
agreement. Sarah goes off to find
another activity.
Children's friendships are among
the central ingredients of children's
lives. These friendships are often
sources of children's greatest pleasures
and deepest frustrations.
Childhood friendships have important
positive implications for social
development. Throughout childhood
and adulthood, friendships
foster the development of social
concepts and skills that may initially
be features of friendships but are
eventually extended beyond the
friendship into the larger world of
interpersonal functioning.
Peer friendships are very different
from parent-child or authority
relationships. Peer friendships are
not based on authority, but on giveand-
take between equals. If adults
do not interfere when young friends
Reductio ad Absurdum
disagree over who should get the
first turn with a toy, the two must
somehow settle the matter between
themselves, since neither child has
authority. If friendship is to be
maintained, the participants must
cooperate with the interaction
"rules" they have mutually constructed.
Piaget contrasts these
rules with a parent-child relationship.
The interaction "rules" are
not mutually constructed but instead
are set forth by one member
(the parent) and conformed to or
rebelled against by the other (the
child). According to Piaget, friendships
based on mutual interaction
"rules" lead to the development of
concepts of cooperation and mutual
respect.
Friendships allow children to
"talk back" to each other without
fear of punishment, to learn when
to speak out, when to listen and
when and how to apologize. The
skills of friendship also include the
ability to manage conflict successfully.
In order to maintain friendship
in the face of disagreement,
the children learn to express their
own rights and feelings clearly,
while remaining sensitive to the
rights and feelings of others. It is in
peer friendships that they learn to
suggest and accept compromises, a
valuable and necessary skill. The
development of communication
skills through interactions with
one's peers may be a prerequisite
for the acquisition of some friendship
skills.
There are some children who
need help from adults in mastering
some particular skills of friendship.
The friendless child must interact
with his peers in order to develop
the self-confidence and skills
needed for friendship making.
When helping a friendless child, an
adult may steer that child to someone
with whom the adult feels the
child might feel comfortable. But
rather than pushing a child into
social skills he/she is not ready for,
adults must recognize that some
children have many friends, some
children have one or two friends
and other children spend much
time alone. Adults must be sensitive
to events in a child's life that
may cause problems in making and
keeping friends.
Internationally-known artist Jim
Nutt will visit the Parkside campus
on Tuesday, April 16, to speak on
his role as a major figure in the development
of the Chicago-bred
style of art known as Imagism.
Nutt will present a free, public,
slide-illustrated lecture on the
evolution of his work at 2:15 p.m.
in Greenquist Hall Room 101. Later
he will meet with art students for
critiques and discussions.
Nutt's fantasy-oriented paintings
are characterized by bizarre figuration,
humorous narratives and
comic-book stylization. On both a
formal and thematic level, his work
can be viewed as highly representative
of the Chicago Imagist style,
which emphasizes complex patterning,
strong color and very personal
imagery.
Nutt was born in 1938 in Pittsfield,
Mass., and moved to Chicago
to study at the School of the Art Institute.
While a student there he
joined with five other young artists
to form the infamous "Hairy Who"
group, whose exhibitions were very
influential in the Chicago art world
during the 1960's and early 70's.
Currently, he is affiliated with the
Phyllis Kind Gallery of Chicago and
New York.
Over the years, Nutt has exhibby

Rape and child abuse: crimes with closet victims
by Pat Hensiak
Campus News Editor
There was a time when rape and
child abuse were not regarded as
crimes of violence, but now "rape
is right under murder. People are
finally waking up to see what it's
all about," said Sher Rosko, director
of St. Catherine's Sexual Abuse
Treatment Center, Kenosha.
Rosko said she's happy that
people are realizing that there is
nothing more important than keeping
women and children safe.
There are two different degrees
of rape: first degree rape enlists a
threat of force or violence with a
weapon, and second degree rape
enlists a threat of violence without
a weapon. When a child under age
16 is sexually abused it is automatically
considered first degree rape.
Rosko stressed that there is no
typical rape victim nor perpetrator.
"The victim doesn't have to be in a
short skirt and tight blouse. The
perpetrator doesn't have to be a
person frothing from the mouth.
Anybody could be a victim, anybody
could be a perpetrator," she
said.
The crime of rape isn't one that
stems from sexual gratification.
"It's for taking complete control of
another person," stated Rosko.
"Some are planned, some aren't."
Reactions to rape are usually different
between two victims, said
Rosko. It has been found, however,
that most women who have been
raped feel better when they start to
understand what other women have
gone through, she added.
"Victims are treated differently
now. It is easier for women to
come forward now because the judicial
experience isn't as humiliating
as in the past. Lawyers aren't as
interested in chewing up and spitting
out the victim any longer.
There was a time when women
could expect that, but I think people
realize now that the woman is
the victim, not the perpetrator,"
she said.
Rosko said, "The most important
way to protect ourselves is to be
aware of ourselves, be in control
and to think in terms of prevention."
According to a brochure distributed
in the Center, "Self protection
is more than just physical defense
skills; it's also knowing how
to avoid trouble."
The brochure gives the following
suggestions for avoiding an attack:
• On the street peqple should
walk in well lighted areas on the
outside of the sidewalk and walk
against traffic. It is also important
to be aware of who is around you.
If you're being followed by a car,
turn and walk in the opposite direction.
Avoid areas like shrubbery,
space between buildings, dark
areas, etc., and if followed on foot,
you should cross the street or do
the unexpected.
• If you experience car trouble,
lift the hood and tie a white cloth
to the antenna. If a stranger stops,
ask him or her to go for help. Don't
get into their car. If you're followed,
don't go home, go to the police
station or the fire station or an all
night service station. Always check
the rear seat before getting into
your car and always keep your car
locked.
• At home, never unlock the
door before you know who is there
and if a stranger asks to use your
phone, take the number from them
and call for them. If you come

home to find a broken window or
door open, do not enter the house,
leave at once and call the police.
Never reveal that you're home
alone and be aware of suspicious
questioning on the phone. Don't
give information about yourself to a
stranger.
Rosko pointed out that the purpose
of the Center is not to scare
people. "It may take scaring people
into reality, but we don't want to
have to do that. For every rape
that's reported there are probably
ten that aren't. In 1984 one out of
every 10 women would be raped,
this year that figure jumped to one
out of every four."
Rosko explained that the part of
the reasoning behind the jump in
the figure is that awareness has
made people come forward.
"People want to believe that if
they choose to simply take care of
their family, they'll be ok, but then
something happens and ruins it for
them. We don't live in isolation, we
have to interact," said Rosko.
Rosko gives presentations to
school children in the Kenosha Unified
district about molestation.
"Usually three children out of
every group of children have something
they want to say, something
they want to talk to someone about.
What we tell the children is that
they do not have let anyone touch
them in any of their genital areas.
A lot of times after we talk to the
children, they are willing to talk because
they feel maybe now someone
will understand."
For treatment for victims of
child abuse, Rosko gives children
anatomically correct dolls to help
the children explain what has happened
to them. "It's easier for the
children when they don't feel like
they have to say the words."
Rosko said that the dolls are
great for therapy for children. "At
one time we used puppets and the
monster puppet was always the
perpetrator. It's had soda poured
on it, it's been punched on and
cried into, it's been stomped on,
and it seems help the kids. Whatever
will work we do.
"There really isn't any reason for
any child to be abused, physically,
sexually or mentally. They're only
children, and they deserve a better
chance than we got. When they're
abused by the people who they're
supposed to be able to trust, what
does that do to them?"
Rosko said that the youngest
child sexually abused in this state
was 11 Vz months old. The child was
damaged vaginally so badly that she
required a hysterectomy before she
was a year old. "Who's going to tell
that little girl that she'll never have
children, that she won't go through
a normal menstrual cycle, like all
the other children. And who's going
to tell her that at one time she
probably would've been able to do
all those things?"
Rosko posed questions to people
who could potentially find themselves
in a situation directly related
to assault. "Be a little less trusting.
How many times do you look in the
back seat of your car before you get
in it? If someone were walking behind
you, would you be too embarrassed
to run? And how many
times have you answered the phone
and basically offered information
about yourself to a stranger without
thinking about it? "
In terms of the campus and those
who frequently find themselves
leaving campus alone, Rosko encouraged
finding a buddy or two or
three to leave with. "There's a
great need for more lighting out
there. And I can't believe there are
no readily available emergency
phones. I would encourage people
to never cross campus alone, and to
never go to their car alone, especially
at night. Find two or three
other people who can walk with
you out to your car or at least
watch you until they see you are in
your car safely.
"It doesn't take a lot to walk
someone to their car; maybe two or
three minutes in between a class.
When you think about it a little bit,
I hope you think it's a service
worth giving a friend."

"She Stoops to Conquer" comedic favorite
Mm- Pat Hensiak (left) passes chairmanship to Adrian Serrano Serrano takes over Adrian Serrano, 21, was elected
chairman of the Segregated University
Fees Allocation Committee on
Monday. The position was held for
two years by Pat Hensiak.
SUFAC is a standing subcommittee
of the Parkside Student Government
Association. The student-run
committee is in charge of allocating
all of the segregated fees assessed
to students through tuition. The
chairmanship of SUFAC is a paid
position of $500 per year.
Serrano, a double major in
Political Science and International
Studies, was elected to the Senate
in the Spring semester 1984 and has
been a member of SUFAC for one
year. In addition to his participation
in student government he is
also a member of the Track and
Cross Country teams.
Serrano decided to vie for the
position of SUFAC chair because of
his experience on the committee.
"I want to keep SUFAC running
smoothly as I feel it has over the
last year," he said.
Serrano said he would like the
committee to develop guidelines
for unbudgeted capital equipment
requests and for unfunded trips. He
would also like the committee to
review the guidelines which govern
SUFAC.
One serious problem facing
SUFAC is the reduced amount of
segregated fees due to the decline
of enrollment. Serrano said he
would be against any increases in
the assessment of fees from students.
"If enrollment continues to
decline then there has to be a decline
in budget requests. I would
like to see student contributions
stay the same or lower than they
are now," said Serrano.
Helping student clubs become
more creative in fund raising is one
of Serrano's priorities. "I'd like to
help the Student Organizations
Council, through SUFAC and
PSGA, increase their strength so
that they could raise more money
themselves. This would help them
have big budgets without increasing
segregated fees," he said.
Serrano added, "The position of
SUFAC chair is a very important
one and I'm going to give the position
my best effort. I will be available
to the student population to aid
them with hudget matters."

"She Stoops to Conquer," the
classic 18th century comedy of
manners by British playwright Oliver
Goldsmith, is the spring main
stage production at Parkside, directed
by Prof. Lee VanDyke.
Performances, all in the Communication
Arts Theater, are at 8 p.m.
on Fridays, April 19 and 26 and on
Saturdays, April 20 a nd 27.
A special matinee performance
will be presented at 10 a.m. on
Thursday, April 25.
Tickets are $4 for all students,
senior citizens and Parkside faculty
and staff, $5 for others. They can
be purchased at the Fine Arts Division
Office (Communication Arts
Room 221), at the Union Information
Center or at the door. Reservations
can be made by calling 553-
2581.
"She Stoops to Conquer" has
been described as the most popular
comedy between the times of
Shakespeare and George Bernard
Shaw. The play centers on young
Marlow and his bride-to-be Kate
Hardcastle. The two, matched by
the parents, have never met. Marlow
and his friend Hastings, on
their way to the Hardcastles, are directed
to the house by practical
joker Tony Lumpkin. They are deceived
into thinking the house an
inn and treat Hardcastle as a landlord
and Kate as a maid. Kate takes
advantage of the misunderstanding
to break down Marlow's reserve.
Mistaken identities, insults and
amorous trysts abound. As they run
about, the players unwittingly
reveal their true characters, but, in
good comedic tradition, they mend
their quarrels at the play's conclusion.
VanDyke describes "She Stoops
to Conquer" as pure comedy. "The
play is very entertaining, with elements
of farce, but it also has an
Rebecca Julich (left), and Missy Weaver rehearse a scene
18th century elegance and refinement
reflected in the elaborate costumes
and sparkling, witty language.
"It is one of those rare plays that
gets revivals constantly — it is filled
with delight and is very fastmoving,"
VanDyke said.
Cast members for the production
are, from Kenosha, Steve Orth,
Missy Weaver, Mike McDowal,
John Oleksey and Ron Larson;
from Racine, Denise Valente, Bill
Serpe, Rebecca Julich, Connie Kowalski,
John Miskulin, Paul Mitchell;
from Cudahy, Andrew Brhel
and from Milwaukee, John
Weatherall. Paula Boehler, Racine,
is stage manager.
Dramatic arts professor Judith
Tucker Snider designed the costumes,
which for this play represented
a special challenge. The play
takes place in the time of England's
George III (late 18th century),
when both men and women wore
powdered wigs and powdery makeup.
Women wore heavy, restricting
corsets and a lot of hip-padding, resulting
in thin waists and full skirts.
Material for the production's costumes
includes cotton brocade and
chintz.
In order to get that "just right"
look, Snider even designed
women's underwear of the day that
won't be seen by the playgoers.
The set was designed by dramatic
arts professor Skelly Warren,
with lighting by Keith Harris, technical
manager of the Communication
Arts Theater.

B.B. King proves the thrill ain't gone
by Rick Luehr
Asst. Feature Editor
In the words of the great B.B.
King, "Blues is like a tonic that's
good for whatever ails you." That
proved to be true last Sunday night
as King, along with Bobby "Blue"
Bland, brought the blues to the
Riverside Theater in Milwaukee.
King grew up in the delta region
of Mississippi. His first real exposure
to the blues came through listening
to artists like Blind Lemon
Jefferson and Django Reinhard.
"When I was 18 years old," King
said, "I heard some stuff by T-Bone
Walker. That did it. I decided right
there that I wanted to play the
blues for a living." King then got a
recording contract with a small record
company in Nashville, and the
rest, as they say, is history.
Interestingly, King first learned
to play guitar by learning country
songs. "When I first started to
learn to read music, the first musical
notations I saw were on mail
order sheet music from the Sears
catalog. The first book I ordered
had country tunes in it. I learned to
read music playing 'My Darling
Clementine' and 'You Are My Sunshine'
long before I could play
'Three O'Clock Blues.' "
King expalined that he thinks
blues' popularity is due to the fact
that it is "reality." "This is real.

nobody around, young or old,

as well as the happiness, it's always

me, nobody is happy all the time.
On the other hand, nobody is sad
all the time.

problem at one time or another.

know what it's about, it helps. Then
when you can sing about it, laugh
about it, you'll solve it. There have
been some of my roughest times —
times I cried — and I sing and
think about it, and I start to see a
silver lining. You can work things
out then."
Blues has had some difficulty
getting radio airplay in the past,
but King sees some hope in changing
that. "I think it's starting to
open up now. My latest tune, 'Into
the Night,' is being played. It's
being played across the board. It's
blues, but it's a different kind of
blues. It's like 'The Thrill is Gone.'
When that came out, it was blues,
but it was a different kind of blues.
"For some reason, certain artists,
with certain types of blues,
have a hard time getting airplay.
But then, other artists, like Eric
Clapton or Stevie Ray Vaughn, can
play anything they want and radio
stations will play it. They won't do
that with me or Bobby 'Blue' Bland
or Little Milton, but they will do it
with Clapton. If he does it, they 11
do it. If Stevie Ray Vaughn does it,
they'll do it. They're playing things
we used to play. They'll play them
on the air, but if we do it they
won't."
Not only is King's new single
"Into the Night" getting radio airplay,
the video for the song has
been played on MTV. "So you
know I'm in big cotton now. I never
really expected them to play my
things, but I did think that they
should play people like James
Brown or Rick James, which they
didn't used to play. Now they've
started to do it, and I'm grateful to
them. Not only are they playing
people like that, but they're playing
yours truly. God Almighty, I never
thought I'd live to see that."
Recently, King did the soundtrack
for the film "Into the Night."
"John Landis, the film's director,
said he's been a fan of mine since
he was a teenager. He was checking
MCA's list of artists to find someone
to do the soundtrack, and happened
to run across my name and
A blues giant
felt I could be the one to do what
he was thinking of. He got Ira Newborn,
and Ira worked with me."
King said the soundtrack was
done in a very different way.
"What they did was, they rolled the
scenes on the screen and let me sit
by myself in a room and let me
play what I felt behind the scenes.
Then they took a 60-piece orchestra
and incorporated what I played into
it."
When asked how he wants to be
remembered, King said simply, "I
just want to be thought of as the
guy next door, a good neighbor who
loved and wanted to be loved."
2001: A Jtoace Odvssev
PAB presents sci-fi classic
by Rick Luehr
Asst. Feature Editor
This week's PAB film presentation
will be "2001: A Space Odyssey,"
the 1968 science fiction film
classic.
"2001" was the first documentary/
narrative film to cross success-,
fully into the mainstream of filmmaking,
gaining both critical and
public acceptance. "2001" transcends
the normal bounds of science
fiction films, presenting important
ideas rather than just telling
a futuristic story.
The film is the story of man's
odyssey through physical and mental
evolution. It carries man from
his ape-like ancestors to the creation
of the "starchild," the next
step in man's evolution.
The film stars Keir Dullea and
Gary Lockwood, and is directed by
Stanley Kubrick. "2001" features
wonderful special effects by Douglass
Trumbull. The soundtrack employs
classical music by great composers
including Richard Strauss.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is a
true classic. It works not only as a
great science fiction film, but also
is a film of wonderful ideas and
fabulous vision. "2001" is a film
that should be seen on a big screen
to be really appreciated. Don't pass
up this rare chance to experience
"2001" as it was intended to be
seen.

VanZandt debut LP
by Jim Neibaur
Feature Editor
VanZandt's self-titled Warner
Brothers LP is yet another power
pop-cum-hard-rock excursion with
nothing challenging or different.
The vocals are harmonized tightly,
but the lyrics aren't saying much
of anything. The hooks and riffs are
very standard, and the beat of each
song is just too well calculated.
While they eschew electronic effects,
VanZandt shows almost no
variety in their singing, playing or
song writing. Every song on the
ten-cut LP bears such strong similarities
to the others that it would
take repeated listenings to be able
to differentiate the tracks from one
another.
Virtually any group that puts out
an album (especially for a major
label) deserves some sort of respect
for achieving this goal, assuming
that they have clawed and bit their
way through high school dances,
bar and club appearances, bar mitzvahs,
etc. VanZandt, however, are
such unimpressive stylists that it's
difficult to extend to them even the
most fleeting acknowledgement.
Unless they spice up their repertoire
with a bit of variety, it looks
as though VanZandt will slip right
past the record-buying public very
quietly without anyone noticing.

Pretentious Bible epic
by Jim Neibaur
Feature Editor
For every great Biblical epic
("Ben Hur," "The Robe," "The
Ten Commandments," et al) there's
at least one turkey ("King of
Kings," "The Greatest Story Ever
Told," "The Bible" and so on).
"King David," unfortunately, falls
into the latter category.
The film's good points are standard
ones: the sets are nice, the costumes
and hairstyles are appropriate
for how modern day folks conceive
this era, there are a few exciting
battle scenes and the film
remains faithful to its original source.
The problems include dialogue:
every line sounds as though it is a
major historical statement, calling
attention to even the most marginal
statements. Another problem is the
film's erratic pacing, as the story of
David is told from beginning to
end, snipping out ten or twenty
year sections, thus hampering continuity.
Richard Gere looks great in long
hair, but just isn't that great an
actor. While his portrayal of the
title character may so far be his
best performance, he still doesn't
merit any better adjective than mediocre
when referring to his acting
abilities. At times he is quite believable,
while at other times he's
about as convincing as Diana Ross
was in the "The Wiz."
"King David" is as pretentious a
Bible picture as one can fear. God
isn't dead, but Cecil B. DeMille certainly
is.
Starts Friday, April 12 at Selected Theatres.

Johnson has eggs
in the basket
by Robb Luehr
Two weeks ago the Racine Journal
Times reported that Parkside's
head basketball coach Rees Johnson
was a candidate for the head
coaching job at Green Bay, which
was left vacant when Dick Lein resigned.
The job, however, went to
Stevens Point head coach Dick
Bennett.
"The people in Green Bay called
to find out if I was interested in the
job, and they wondered if I was
going to apply. I wasn't thinking
• about it, but they got me interested,"
said Johnson. However, he
pulled out of the running on March
25, before the Journal Times ran
the story.
Green Bay's athletic department
or administration did not approach
Johnson, but Green Bay's daily
newspaper did. "The Press-Gazette
called me at least seven or eight
times within a month."
Johnson decided not to run because
he knew Dick Bennett was
the main candidate. "I talked to
some people. They said Bennett
wanted the job, it was his. I also
talked to Dick's best friend, and he
said Dick was going to take the job,
so I decided to get out of it." Johnson
also felt he still had work to do
here.
"The program here is close. We
still want to improve on it. We'd
like all our players to be 'A' students,
if possible, but that's not
realistic. Even if you take the average
student in college, that's not
the way it is.
"We put a pretty good load on
our athletes, especially our basketball
players. We realize they're not
all going to be 'A' students, but we
shoot for a high academic level.
"The team's grade point average
was 2.4 two semesters ago and 2.3
last semester. The GPA is improved
from when I got here, and the
GPA requirements for athletes
have become more strict."
Johnson was hired here to
change the direction of the program.
Before that, he spent four
years at Augsburg College in Minnesota.
Though Parkside's program
is going well, it's not perfect for
Johnson. "There are some things
that make me wonder about looking
sometimes. We don't have paid
assistant coaches. They don't get a
penny for it. They're not on campus,
so I'm really here alone."
According to Johnson, it takes a
minimum of three years to build a
program, but agrees it takes luck to
do it in three years. "Even if you
win right away, it doesn't necessarily
mean the program is going in
the direction you want. It takes
time to initiate your philosophies,
ideas and ideals to the players and
the campus. A lot of instructors,
administrators and students still
feel it's the same program as before."
Johnson added, "It usually
takes five years before a program is
established."
How did the players react to the
news of Johnson's application? "I
don't think most of them knew."
Athletic Director Wayne Dannehl
"The people in Green
Bay called to find out
if I was interested in
the job, and they
wanted to know if I
was going to apply. I
wasn't thinking about
it, but they got me interested.
"
—Rees Johnson
knew, however, and asked Johnson
if he had applied.
"I don't think he was real pleased.
I think he was concerned that I
might be involved enough to leave.
He knows we've made a lot of progress.
"Now that the Stevens Point job
is open, a lot of rumors have it that
I should be interested in that job,
but I'm not."
If an opportunity should arise,
Johnson said he'd be "foolish not
to consider it," but would be careful
in his choice. "It's not like when
I was 28. Then, I would have gone
to Alaska to coach. Now, the opportunity
has to be good not only as far
as money, but as far as the program
and where I want to live.
"Right now, I'm just not going to
move. I've established myself here.
I'm not going to jump at any opportunity.
It has to be the right one.
I'm much more selective."

Sports
Women's track
by Robb Luehr
Parkside held its first home
women's track meet in three years
last Saturday, competing in a dual
meet against Augustana.
The Rangers ran well, but lack of
entries in the hurdle events and a
few field events allowed Augustana
to win the meet 78-57. "We beat
them on the track and stayed even
in the field events, but the hurdles
were our downfall," said coach
Mike DeWitt. "We did a respectable
job, though."
With the exception of the hurdles,
the Parkside women took first
places in all the running events.
Jacqueline Cotton set a new
school record winning the 100-
meter dash with a time of 12.2 seconds,
breaking the old record by
one-tenth of a second. Cotton also
won the 200 in 26.6, teamed up with
Karen Savage, Jill Fobair and
Merri Valukas to win the 400 meter
relay and was third in the shot-put
with a distance of 28-11.
Valukas was second in the 400-
meter dash with a time of 1:3.5 and
took second in the shot with a distance
of 29-7. Savage was fourth in
the 400 i n 1:04.5.
In the 800 meters, Karen Jacobsen
finished first in 2:29.3, and Fobair
was second in 2:30.7.
Colleen Wismer won the 1500
meters with a time of 5:10.8, and
Sarah Hiett won the 3000 meters in
10:53.
Laurie Jacusz was the busiest
Ranger at the meet, competing in
six events. She won the high jump
with a height of 4-10, was second in
the discus with 82-9, third in the
long jump with 12-10, fourth in the
shot with 26-2, f ourth in the javelin
with 75-5 and sixth in the 100-meter
hurdles with a time of :21.1.
Julie Ann McReynolds took first
in the 5000 meters with a time of
19:06.3, while Wismer was third
with 19:43. McReynolds was also
third in the javelin with 76-8, and
Wismer was third in the discus with
64-6.
The 1600-meter relay team
(Hiett, Jacobsen, Savage and Valukas)
was second with a time of 4:
18.1.
In the 10,000-meter walk (which
was not an official part of the
meet), Carol Romano walked the
distance in 56:17, which may have
qualified her for the TAC outdoor
national meet.
The women's team will compete
this Friday at Northwestern University.
Twenty teams are expected
to participate. This Saturday, the
team goes to Hillsdale, Michigan
for a meet against mainly NCAA
Division II and NAIA teams.
Women's softball
Parkside's softball team had its share of April
Fools April 1 as it split a doubleheader with DePaul
University. Parkside lost the first game 3-0, and won
the second 3-2.
Michele Martino pitched the first game for Parkside
and gave up ten hits, two of them doubles.
The Rangers, however, had only two hits, one of
which was a triple by Judy McKinney, a junior college
transfer.
DePaul earned its three runs in the first inning.
Parkside regained its composure to keep the score 3-
0, but not enough to win.
The next game proved more rewarding for the
Rangers. Janet Koenig pitched the second game and
gave up only six hits, one of them a double.
DePaul gave up five hits, two of them doubles by
Parkside's Janet Broeren and Koenig.
The game saver for the Rangers was junior outfielder
Jackie Rittmer. The game was in the seventh inning,
two outs, and the score 3-2. Runners were on
second and third base. The batter hit to Rittmer in
centerfield. She fielded the ball on one hop and threw
to the plate. Catcher Pam Young tagged the runner
coming from third to end the game.
Next home games for the Rangers will be Monday
and Tuesday, April 22 and 23.
The Rangers are currently ranked fifth in the nation,
which is a first. Coach Linda Draft feels her
team is not playing up to this high rank.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we slipped down from
this rank," said Draft. "We're waiting for the snow to
melt, while other teams are playing." The number
one-ranked team's record is 24-3, while Parkside's is
7-3.
•Men's tennis
The men's tennis team won three out of four

Students can work overseas The Council on International
Educational Exchange (CIEE), the
largest student travel organization
in the U.S., is offering young adults
the opportunity to work overseas
this summer as volunteers on service
projects aimed at helping local
communities. Free room and board
help to keep participation costs
minimal.
"It met and surpassed all my expectations,"
was the reaction of
one participant in last year's program.
Although work camps have
been operating in many parts of the
world for more than 30 years, they
still are a relatively new concept in
the United States.
"We had no plumbing or electricity
and slept in a barn, but I think
that made us better as a group because
we really had to work together
and help each other," reported a
volunteer who helped convert an
old barn into a community room in
Denmark.
Other projects included garden
work and restoration at a castle in
Veltrusy, Czechoslovakia; housecleaning
at the Technical Institute
at Gdansk, Poland and rebuilding
seawalls on an island in Germany.
Except for a modest program fee
of $100, there is no cost other than
the airfare — a nd even that expense
may be reduced by special student
and youth fares available
through any Council Travel office.
Work camps, usually two, three
or four weeks in duration, are available
in Czechoslovakia, Denmark,
France, Germany, Poland, Spain
and Canada. A working knowledge
of German is recommended for
placements in Germany; language
requirements apply in France and
Spain. Volunteers need not be students
but must be at least 18 years
old (except in Germany, which accepts
16-year-olds). Application
deadline is May 1, 1985.

The final figure, as it now stands, for SUFAC is $551,650. This figure shows a 5.4% increase over last year's final allocations — •> $23 incr C.'ist> in tuition pfr student per year. According to Tim Zimnier. President of the parkside Student Government Association, the final budget will either remain the same as the preliminary or be cut. depending upon the feelings of the student body on the tuition rise. The SUFAC hopes to have the final budgeting done before the winter break, something that hasn't been done at Parkside for years. Last year the SUFAC met during the winter break in order to complete the preliminaries before the second semester began. Speed has been a major difference in the committee so far this year, with several budgets being approved in less than ten minutes. This could well be attributed to the fact that most of the budget requests the committee received were kept at the same level or a minimum increase. The major budget hikes this year are seen in Student Health, and the P.S.G.A. budget itself. The Student Health office has added to its budget request a classified typist at $5,127. a nurse at $8,580. and a psychologist at $6.(XX). The total budget for Student Health increased bv $14,129.

Campus weapons
bill still debated
Res Life Director opposes change,
students views mixed, police chief quiet
BY JALEN PERRY
Perry039@rangers. uwp. edu
A state bill proposed in October would
allow anyone with a conceal carry license
to bring their guns into all any college in the
state, including all UW System schools. State
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced in
late December that he doubted the bill would
see passage by the legislature before the end of
their session in February.
Whether the Capitol takes action on the bill
in the coming weeks or months, reactions at
Parkside appear mixed.
Campus safety leadership remains tightlipped,
while officials from Residence Lite
oppose the bill, citing safety concerns. But
two students who disagree about whether the
proposed legislation should be adopted both
think it would increase their safety if an active
shooter situation ever came to campus.
Weapons now prohibited
State law currently allows people with conceal
carry permits to walk around campuses with
their weapons, but it leaves the decision up to the
school whether to ban weapons inside of their
buildings.
Chief of Police James Heller declined to offer
his opinion about the proposed legislation in an
email interview, but he pointed to the standing
orthodoxy of Policy 85, UW-Parkside Firearms
and Dangerous Weapons Policy. That policy
highlights obvious things such as no firearms/
weapons in buildings or by employees, with the
exception of law enforcement, no weapons in
residence halls, at special events or in official
UW-P vehicles.
Parkside administrators have taken precautionary
measures, posting "Weapons Prohibited"
signs on mostly all entrances. If the
proposed bill passes, it would take the power
completely out of their hands and such signs
would face removal.
Student Government weighs in
Parkside Student Government President,
Hannah Kowalczyk says that the organization
is aware of the proposed bill and have taken
the steps to inform themselves further.
"Upon the announcement of the possible
change in legislature PSG asked for Chief
Heller to come to one of our meetings and
give us a breakdown of the campus safety procedures
already in place, as well as how this
change in legislature would affect everyone on
campus, but more specifically us as students."
To get the pulse of the school, Hannah,
as well as other students within the student
government, went out to see what students had
to say.
"PSG went in search of the student bodies
opinion on the issue. We spent a total of three
days on the bridge and in the Brickstone surveying
students. In the survey we were looking
for if the student were for or against the
bill, and their reasoning behind their answer."
Once PSG tallied up their results, it was
clear which side the student body was on in
regards to the bill.
"After totaling the survey results we sent
a letter urging our stance, as a student body,
against the passing of the proposed bill. Along
with this letter we sent the surveys the students
had filled out as well, this included students
opinions both for and against the bill."
Problems for Campus Residents
Joe Berthiaume, Director of Housing and
Residence Life, strongly opposes allowing guns
or any concealed weapon inside any of campus
buildings.
"I think it is a horrible bill, and I cannot envision
any possible advantages to allowing guns
WEAPONS PROHIBIT!

Signs like this one would need to be removed
if the campus concealed carry bill gets through
the State legislature.
on campus," Berthiaume said. "From a housing
perspective, there are many disadvantages."
According to Berthiaume, potential problems
with allowing guns to enter living halls
begin with storage of the guns in the rooms,
which may pose major issues for roommates,
students with anxiety and strong emotional
disdain for weapons. They would be knowingly
exposed to a perceived threat by their
neighbors or accidental discharge of a weapon
inside of a room.
Also, Berthiaume said, the presence of
alcohol may affect how people deal with their
weapons. Resident advisers could also face the
danger of trying to discipline an unruly student
who has a gun.
Current policy for residents facing an active
shooter assume that weapons are not allowed inside
the building, according to Berthiaume. Residence
Life staff would adhere to the policy on the
campus website and serve as second responders.
"While they [police] are resolving the
incident, Res Life would be involved with
follow-up with regards to emotional and anxiety
support for students, taking care of parents
phone calls to the school," Berthiaume said.
He stressed that his main goal each year is to
make sure students graduate and live in as safe
an environment as possible.
No word on org, club binding from SUFAC
BY JALEN PERRY
perry039@rangers.uwp.edu
Many student organizations and
all campus departments funded by
segregated fees have yet to present
their budgets to the Segregated University
Fee Advisory Committee.
According to Hannah Kowalczyk,
president of PSG, there have
been some meetings, but she could
not offer specific dates or organizatioas
who have been heard.
Organizations' budget packets
were due Nov. 30.
SUFAC director Tim Krueger
said that SUFAC has heard from
every student organization who submitted
their packets on time. He said
that they are also setting up a week ly
meeting time for the organizations
that turned their request packets
in late. SUFAC did in fact cancel
one meeting over winter break due
to not meeting quota according to
Krueger. Krueger did not specify
which groups he and SUFAC did
meet with.
Fees explained
Segregated fees may not be
familiar to most students, although
all UW-Parkside students pay them
as part of their enrollment at UWParkside.
For this academic year, at
$521.52 segregated fees made up
just over 14 percent of the 3,670.68
cost to attend Parkside for resident
students.
That percentage was higher than
nonresident, Minnesota reciprocity,
Midwest student exchange, and
students returning to Wisconsin;
those students pay the same amount
of segregated fees, but they also face
higher tuition costs, ranging from
between about 350 and almost 4,000
more than the resident tuition rate.
Students pay segregated fees as
part of their tuition, on top of the
normal instructional fees. The fees
junction similar to a tax on enrolled
students. Although any given student
may not attend any sporting events,
join any clubs, or use any of the
resource centers, that student still
contributes to the funding pot.
The Segregated University Fee
Advisory Committee, or SUFAC,
is the branch of Parkside Student
Government that allocates segregated
fees to student organizations
and other campus departments. In
addition to overseeing the funding
for all clubs and organizations,
SUFAC board, composed entirely of
students, also designates funding to
support other campus infrastructure,
including the Sports Activities Center,
Student Health and Counseling,
the Student Center, Student Activities,
Athletics.
"SUFAC recommends an equitable
distribution of the allocable
portion of the Student Segregated
University Fees (SUF)," the organization's
Campus Connect page
states. "Student Segregated Fees are
used to give support to programs and
activities that serve to promote the
best interest of the students, as determined
by members of the SUFAC."
The page lists four PSG senators
on the committee as members
— Jenn Schwarz, Luis Moreno,
Sarah Hemken, and Sergio Abrego
— along with 30 members, half
of whom are hidden, that include
Student Center staff who help the
committee to function.
The last events that SUFAC held
for which records were posted on
Campus Connect were Dec. 3 and
14, with the latter listed as "the final
opportunity for student organizations"
to request funding for the
2016-17 academic year.
The last post to the Parkside
Student Government's Campus
Connect page was a senate meeting
scheduled Sept. 29 of last semester, a
week after an "emergency meeting"
was called on Sept. 22 to establish
meeting rimes, introduce new
senators, set campus committees,
hear reports from the president, vicepresident
and senators.
No minutes were available on
Campus Connect at press time from
either PSG or SUFAC.
Free Speech

diversity troubles
CHELSEA STREBE

JALEN PERRY
perry039@rangers. uwp. edu
United Council of UW Students achieved
at least half of one of its demands on Friday
when System president Raymond Cross publicly
apologized for the lack of support concern ing
underrepresented students and admitted that the
system isn't where it needs to be in regards to
diversity and inclusivity.
The statement from Cross came on the same
day that United Council organized a protest at the
Feb. 5 System Regents meeting in Madison with
//Blackout.
Students from UW-Parkside, UW-Madison
and UW-Fond du Lac attended the protest.
The group carried out their protest, according
to the Wisconsin State Journal, interrupting
Regent President Regina Millner.
United Council's press release states the
demands of the UW System president, Raymond
Cross, and Board of Regents president,
Regina Millner, which ask Cross and Millner
to: apologize for their failure to progress on
diversity within the UW system, create racial
awareness within the system, update plans for
diversity change, create a task force to monitor
the experiences of minority students in schools,
and increase funding to bring mental health professionals
— particularly those of color— into
the schools.
Recent protests are a reaction to a resolution
was passed in December by the Wisconsin
System's Board of Regents that allows for "safe
spaces" where students will be allowed to exercise
their amendment right of free speech.
The resolution was initially requested by
United Council and a partner group called
//Blackout after protests against hate crimes and
racism at the University of Missouri culminated
last semester, with United Council and //Blackout
calling for the Regents to ensure safe spaces on
campuses in the System.
United Council and //Blackout, along with
other students across the UW System immediately
began questioning the helpfulness of this
resolution, believing it would allow hate speech
on campus.
The United Council of UW Students is,
according to their official Facebook page, a
statewide student association for the U W System
which is focused on working towards a better
student experience.
United Council has partnered with the independent
UW-BlackOut Movement. According to
their //Blackout Newsletter Facebook page, their
goals are advocacy lor the unheard, underserved
and underrepresented, improvement of the social
climate for all in our reach, and persistence in the
never-ending fight for social justice.
The United Council stated via Facebook
that their work with U W-Blackout is no joke,
and that there has been a //Blackout of students
rights, especially students of color. United
Council says they and //Blackout are here to
change that.
President of the Black Student Union at
UW-Parkside Andre Holland stated that he was
speaking to various campus leaders within United
Council but wasn't aware of the events at other
U W campuses. He added that the UWP-BSU will
stand with them through their tough times.
According to the United Council press release,
they will be keeping the pressure on foe Board of
regents to make sure that all five of the demands
are met.

Tuition: Out of the nest?
BY MATT POMMER
State Capital Newsletter
WNA Partner
The late H. Edwin Young, the
University of Wisconsin-Madison
chancellor who led the campus
during the turbulent Vietnam
War years, would quip there are
unexpected "dangers" lurking in
going to college.
It's more than just your child's
tuition payment. Your son or
daughter might just fall in love
and get married to another student
who also has a large tuition loan,
explained Young, who later
served as president of the University
of Wisconsin System.
It was Young's way of trying
to focus attention on the students'
financial plight as tuition and collegiate
living costs rose rapidly.
The problem continues to grow.
A national report showed that
those who got a college degree in
2014 have an average studentloan
indebtedness of nearly
$29,000. Nationally, student-loan
indebtedness is now put at $ 1.3
trillion. Unlike some other kinds
of debt, bankruptcy won't eliminate
repaying the money.
The graduates' debt load has
become a major issue in Wisconsin's
state government. Republicans
and Democrats are proposing
different kinds of answers to the
issue.
Republicans, led by Gov. Scott
Walker, want to modi fy Wisconsin's
personal income tax laws to
allow a total deduction for annual
interest payments made on the
outstanding student debt.
Fiscal experts put the cost to
the state treasuiy at $5.2 million
annually. Walker said those with
annual incomes between $30,000
and $70,000 would be the major
beneficiaries.
Among other items in the
Republican approach is a
$500,000 package for technical
school grants, efforts to promote
internships, and requiring colleges
during the first semester of enrollment
to provide full financial
information about the overall
costs to families.
Walker is asking for a program
of emergency grants to help
students complete their degree. It
would provide $130,000 for the
UW System and $300,000 for
technical schools.
The focus on technical colleges
reflects Republican efforts
to help train a Wisconsin work
force. The governor has said there
are thousands of unfilled jobs in
the state because of the lack of
trained, qualified personnel for
technical jobs.
Democrats are focusing on
allowing the student borrowers to
refinance their loans at lower interest
rates. That would impact the
lenders but not the state treasury.
State Sen. Dave Hansen, DGreen
Bay, notes that tliree states
including Minnesota are opting
for the refinance approach to the
issue. Hansen says 60 percent of
those with outstanding student
loans in Wisconsin are over the
age of 30.
Minnesota officials suggest
that a person with a $40,000 loan
at 8 percent might save between
$200 and $300 in monthly payments
with refinancing.
Hansen suggests the savings in
refinancing might push Wisconsin
residents to move to Minnesota
and worsen a "brain drain."
The content in this column does not reflect the views or opinions of
the Wisconsin Newspaper Association or its member newspapers.
Some solutions to the loan
crisis are outside the role of
government.
Students can reduce the overall
costs of a higher education if
they take the first two years of
school at one of the UW Colleges
two-year campuses while living at
home. They could then transfer to
a four-year institution if they were
to seek a bachelor's degree.
But there is the backside of that
approach — graduates actually
returning to live with their parents,
ostensibly while they work and
pay off their student debt.
However, returning to the family
nest isn't new. It was widely
used in the Great Depression of
the 1930s by those who would
become known as the "Greatest
Generation" of Americans.

Few skilled workers for jobs in state
BY MATT POMMER
State Capital Newsletter
WNA Partner
Wisconsin's workforce is aging and often
young people seem to be moving away.
Employers are struggling to find qualified
workers.
Consider a report about the large Georgia
Pacific paper mill in Green Bay. Each year
about 100 workers, or about 5 percent of the
workforce, retire. Unemployment rates in the
northeast area around Green Bay are running
a half percent below the national average,
according to state employment officials.
There appear to be plenty of job openings,
but many of the vacancies call for different
abilities than they did 20 years ago. More of
the jobs require skills and training beyond high
school, according to job experts.
The Milwaukee metropolitan area often
hears about the difficulty in recruiting and
retaining highly skilled college graduates.
The talk is often described as a "brain
drain" problem. Regional income levels and
community crime statistics have been cited as
concerns of those being recruited from distant
points for Milwaukee-based jobs.
The worker pinch has also been acute in
smaller Wisconsin communities. Duane Ford,
the retired president of the Southwest Wisconsin
Technical College, cited the issue in a speech.
"One of the biggest challenges for rural
communities is the out-migration of our
children," he said, asking whether communities
are doing enough to promote themselves.
"How often do we say or imply that the
lights are brighter or the grass is greener
somewhere else?" he asked, noting that local
employers often complain they cannot find
enough talented applicants.
"We need to talk early and often to young
people about the education, job, entrepreneurial
and career opportunities in our hometowns.
"We need to realize that the local retention
of young people is not and cannot be the
sole responsibility of schools, colleges
and universities. Parents, family members,
employers, and all community members need
to be part of the solution," he said.
"We must stop or at least question explicit
or implied judgments about the value of work
or where the 'grass might be greener.' "
It's all right to praise those who go on and
get a college education, he suggested, but
there should also be three cheers for those in
the blue-collar trades. Smaller rural school
districts have struggled with the combination
of declining enrollments and reduced state aid.
That may convince young families there are
better places to educate their families.
The content in this column does not reflect the views or opinions of
the Wisconsin Newspaper Association or its member newspapers.
Gov. Scott Walker has been urging families
and high schools to have young people
consider training for technical jobs that don't
require a full four-year liberal arts education.
A package of bills to helpjiay for getting
technical and job-related training is expected to
reach the governor's desk later this month.
Wisconsin has lagged behind other states
in earnings. The numbers are higher in
neighboring Minnesota and Illinois. Do these
statistics play a role in young people taking
jobs in other states? Wisconsin has balked at
increasing its minimum wage - something that
tends eventually to boost salaries across the
board.
Wisconsin also has weakened the union
movement by banning new contracts that
require workers from joining the union and
paying dues. The minimum-wage stand and
union changes were championed by employers.
Now their problem is finding workers.

Letter from the Editor
Hey everyone, this is my first one writing of these
so please bear with me. My name is Jalen Perry, and
I am the new Editor in Chief of The Ranger News. 1
am a junior and a communications major.
This is my third year on the paper and I have held positions
ranging from beat reporter, on to executive editor,
and now head honcho. I am extremely proud to hold this
honor and I p lan to take the paper to new heights.
This past semester, we saw a dramatic turn in the
newspaper. 1 have been here to see the high and low
points of this organization, but this past semester
was definitely the lowest.
We lost a number of people due to graduation,

Editor-in-Chief
The Ranger News
of past staff, and you,
the reader, we have a revamped
staff of hungry
writers and an advising
team to help lead us.
This winter break was
extremely vital to die
group's future, and it is
safe to say that we are
off on a good note. Our
main priority was getting volunteers to come on and
help us rebuild this once proud organization; and 1 can
honestly say that we have found them.
Everyone in this issue, besides myself, has never
been featured in The Ranger News, so every perspective
will be fresh. As we continue to build from
the ground up with new writers, editors, photographers,
and graphic designers, we will continue to
provide fresh insight on life here at Parkside.
Another addition to the paper are up to die date police
blotters that state what happened on campus and where.
These come straight from the department diemselves so
we provide you with accurate details and descriptions.
Our goals are to distribute the paper on bi-weekly
basis, and as another added element to your campus
news experience, we are waiting on approval of
outside kiosks that you can access The Ranger News
printed issues from.
The main priority of the paper is to provide the students
of UW-Parkside and surrounding areas with quick and
accurate news on a timely basis. We owe this to you as the
reader and we will continue to do this as an organization.

Chancellor Debbie Ford
may be presenting big news
later this month.
Ford announced in an
email to 97 staff and faculty
on Jan 29 that she would host
the first Leadership Assembly

month after convocation.
The event will convene
on February 23 at 2 p.m. in
the Student Center Ballroom,
according to Ford's email. An
agenda for the event has not
yet been made available.
Anyone can attend the various
meetings on UW-Parkside's
campus, including the
leadership assembly, because
of open meetings laws, which
state that meetings may only
close for personnel reasons.
Past assemblies have included
a range of presenters,
and an update on university
business from the Chancellor
typically concludes the hourlong
events. The agenda for a
April 14 assembly shows that
it also included remarks on
biennial budget.
According to faculty email
records that included agendas
of past events, the chancellor's
leadership assembly has
occurred at least every semester,
sometimes monthly.
In addition to a talk by
Chancellor Ford, the most
recent leadership assembly
in November also included a
presentation by United Way
and a discussion of leasing
partnerships by Mel Klinkner,
the chief business officer for
UW-Parkside according to the
UW System website.
It also included a
video presentation by James
Kinchen, professor of music
and choir director, entitled
"Voices to India," which
documented aspects of the
10-day sojourn made by 15
members and alumni of the
Voices of Parkside choir
whom Kinchen shepherded
to Kerala, India.
In September of 2015,
Kinchen spoke at the International

Convocation spotlights recent student successes
College plans, service to university,
new provost also noted at event
THE RANGER NEWS STAFF
rangernews@uwp. edu
Spring convocation on Jan. 27 recognizes major accomplishments among
students.
Student athletes at the college earned a 3.08 GPA on average last semester;
Ranger athletes on the women's volleyball team led the pack with a combined
3.42 GPA. Men's and women's cross country athletes' qualification for
NCAA II national championships last semester were also singled out.
The event also noted the achievements of Parkside's theatre arts students,
who earned multiple awards at the Kennedy Center College Theatre Festiveal
and three out of five scholarships through the Stagecraft Institute of Las
Vegas.
Brittney Woods, the junior communication major invited by Sen. Tammy
Baldwin to attend the 2016 State of the Union address, was also lauded for
her appearance in state and national media following the address.
Four colleges' deans speak
The deans of the university also celebrated their four colleges' various accomplishments
previewed upcoming developments.
Dr. Lesley Heins Walker said the College of Arts and Humanities would be
adding concentrations in contemporary and commercial music along with a
communication crafts partnership with Gateway. She also noted the launch of
an associate degree in liberal studies,
After highlighting the success of the App Factory's work with local public
transit, Dirk Baldwin announced that the College of Business, Economics and
Computing would offer an online business degree completion program.
The College of Natural and Health Sciences now offers a consortial
program that helps Parkside students take classes that would transfer to the
UW-Milwaukee College of Engineering and Applied science, according to
Dr. Emmanuel Otu. He also commended the college on its awarding of the
inaugural master of science in sustainable management degree, an online
program offered in partnership with other UW System Campuses and UWExtension.
Community engagement through increased collaboration with local
elementary through secondary education remains the focus for the College of
Social Sciences and Professional Studies, according to Peggy James, dean of
that college, as does reaching out to students who are not currently enrolled
to encourage them to complete their degrees.
Long-term service and new provost
The University recognized 50 people who have worked a total of more
than 700 years in service to the university. Among them, Vera Kolb, professor
of Chemistry, was singled out in recognition of her 30 years of service to the
university. Convocation also served as a time to welcome Dr. Robert Ducoffe,
who fills the position left by Dr. Fred Ebeid of university provost.

Student government is a longstanding
institution in university life.
Representatives serve as the voice
of the students directed at the school
administration and in some cases the
surrounding community.
Whether students need funds for
their organization, want to take a
stand on political issues, or have issues
concerning negative interactions
with university administration and
staff, Parkside Student Government is
there to listen.
"Some major accomplishments
last semester was student outreach,"
Kowalczyk said. "We took some
time to survey what the students
would like to see from us, as well
as... [making] it a point to get
student input on the possible change
in the concealed carry policies. We
then took this input into our meetings
for strategic planning, as well as
send l ing] the student input directly
to the legislatures regarding the possible
concealed carry bill."
Kowalczyk made it clear that she
and PSG took student feedback in an
attempt to reconnect with the students.
"1 feel that the Student Government
has become slightly disconnected from
the student body," she said. "So we
are doing our best to keep everyone
informed when it comes to fund allocation,
student [oiganization] office spaces,
and elections. I feel that we are also
doing a better job with communication
between all shared governance leaders
here on campus, which only brings our
community and students closer."
In addition to setting election dates
and developing an informational election
packet, PSG will hear a briefing
from the student representative meeting
and discuss student involvement.
Kowalczyk suspected elections
would be held in March or early
April, but she said the date would
not be certain until the senate votes
at their next few meetings.
Kowalczyk stated that the positions
that are up for election this semester
are: president, vice Presiden,
parliamentarian, SUFAC Director,
SUFAC Member, Student Organization
Representatives, Student At
Large Positions, Senators

Millenials in the red E5.5S

PwC & PwC Charitabb Foundation
via UWire on January 15
My young colleague Gabi has
a great career ahead. She graduated
from a first-rate university last year
with a double major and double
minor in high demand fields. She
interned with PwC starting in her
second year of college, taking on
progressively sophisticated roles each
summer, and transitioned to working
with us as an associate immediately
after graduation. Gabi's a smart, competent
young adult who has managed
many challenges successfully. She
immigrated to the United States from
Chile with her parents and older sister
when she was seven. But like most
of her peers—millennials who will
comprise more than 75 percent of the
workforce by 2025—Gabi is worried
about money.
Gabi is a typical millennial in
many ways. She graduated from
college with long-term debt (student
loans and a car payment) and experiences
considerable stress around
meeting monthly expenses. Something
else Gabi has in common with
her peers—she received very little
financial education (one week in a
high school math class) before choosing
to study accounting in college.
Millennials are on course to become
the most educated generation
in American history. But they face
greater economic challenges than
previous generations and are already
financially fragile. A study our firm

basic financial knowledge.
•The majority of millennials carry
long-term debt. 55% of college
graduates have student loans,
including 34% of young adults
with annual incomes of more than
$75,000.
•More than half of millennials carried
over a credit card balance in
the last 12 months and 45% make
only minimum monthly payments.
•Millennials are unprepared to
weather a shock. Nearly half
say they could not come up with
$2,000 within the next month to
meet an unexpected need.
Despite the fact that millennials
are facing these issues in large
numbers, the study found that they
are afraid to ask for help. In fact,
a startling few (27%) seek professional
financial advice. Financial
literacy is such a pervasive issue for
this generation, and it's important to
know that it's okay to ask for help.
The gap is widening between
the amount of financial responsibility
given to young Americans
and their demonstrated ability to
manage personal finances. It's time
to reduce that gap. Young people
must be empowered to make smart
financial decisions, because the
economic stability and success of
our businesses and communities
depends on their choices.
In 2012, my firm launched its
Earn Your Future (EYF) commitment
focused on helping young people develop
critical financial skills and providing
educators with resources and
training to teach financial literacy. In
2015, we extended our commitment,
now totaling $190 million. We don't
have all the answers, and our efforts
will continue to evolve. Still, I am
optimistic. A few months ago, I met
with an exuberant group of thirdand-fourth
graders participating in an
EYF program. 1 asked if they thought
it was better to spend on a toy or a
game that they wanted now or to save
for the future. In unison they shouted
"save!" These kids have something in
common with Gabi.
Unlike many of her peers (perhaps
because she studied finance in
college or because of her family's
experience), Gabi is saving rather
than spending—for now, she has chosen
to live at home with her parents
in order to pay off her student loans
more quickly—and she is learning
about ways to boost her credit score.
She also reaps benefits from
working at PwC, which this past
year announced a student loan
pay down program to help reduce
student loan burden. But all adults,
regardless of education or employer,
should be able to manage their
personal finances. Expanded access
to financial education can bring
powerful improvements in financial
literacy and financial stability for the
next generation of Americans. For

Back to School: Tips for success
BYTAYLER KESSLER
kesslO 11 @rangers. uwp. edu
It has been a nice break from school. No
papers, exams, and the opportunity to sleep in
every morning. Now it is time to strap on the
backpacks, grab those school supplies, and
prepare for the spring semester.
Getting ready to head back into the classroom
means something a little different for each student.
For some students, it's easier said than done.
Thankfully, there are people out there who
have gone through this before and have tips on
how to make this a great semester.
Senior offers experience
Breanna Gross, a senior here at Parkside, warns
not to slack off the first few weeks of classes.
She likes to read ahead in the beginning of
the semester before things get too hectic, "I
like to schedule study times right away the first
couple of weeks." She adds, "definitely preplan
time to study and relax."
She does this by using a planner to schedule
specific study times as well as help her adjust
to her new school and work schedule.
Mindset change
Renee Kirby, the director of the Student
Health Center, says that getting back into
"study mode", or the school frame of mind, is
usually the biggest struggle for students. She
suggests using some sort of planner to not only
block out class times, but write out important
assignments, projects, and exams.
She also encourages students to map out
the recommended 2-3 hours of study time per
class. This is especially important when midterms
and final exams are approaching.
Healthy body, healthy mind
It is also important to stay healthy this
semester. One way to make sure your body is
prepared to return to school making sure you
are getting enough sleep and eating healthy.
Kirby encourages students to get the recommended
7-8 hours of sleep a night. She says to take
care of yourself; when you get run down physically,
it makes it difficult to do well in school.
If you feel yourself struggling in any way this
semester, there are many people on campus who
can help you get through it. Places like the Student
Health Center can be very helpful in times
of need, providing you not only with counseling
from licensed professionals, but nurse practitioners
to help when you are feeling sick.
Take advantage of resources, such as the
Academic and Career center, your advisor, and
the tutoring center.
Ducoffe fills Provost seat
BY DEREK FYE
fye00001@rangers.uwp.edu
Dr. Robert Ducoffe was recently
named the new provost and vice
chancellor here at the University of
Wisconsin- Parkside. He was officially
welcomed at the 2016 Spring
convocation ceremonies.
The position of provost is a senior
academic administrator of a university.
The role of a provost can differ
from institution to institution, but
it usually includes responsibilities
such as management of curriculum,
teaching staff, budget and programs.
Ducoffe appears enthusiastic about
working with Parkside's population.
"Our students who graduate
have the possibilities we all seek for
meaningful and fulfilling lives and
careers," according to the statement
from Ducoffe available on the
website. "Combine that with an outstanding,
highly credentialed faculty,
and it's quite evident why Parkside is
such an important resource."
His most recent position held was
that of Dean of the Judd Leighton
School of Business and Economics
at Indiana University South Bend. At
1U South Bend, Dr. Ducoffe steered
the institution in sustaining the
learning experience of students and
exceptional performance on national
examinations measuring knowledge
of business and economics.
Ducoffe believes his experience at
IU South Bend prepared him for his
new role at Parkside.
He said in a statement published
on the university's website that "[t]
he communities UW Parkside serves,
like those in north central Indiana,
need more university-educated graduates
to ensure growth and prosperity..."
He was also instrumental in
achieving historic enrollment levels,
cultivating scholarships for students,
and increasing retention of first-tosecond
year students.
Some of Dr. Ducoffe's more notable
accomplishments include winning
the President's Award for Distinguished
Teaching in 1995 and having
his research featured in multiple
publications.
Before taking up his current
career path he was employed in
radio sales and in account management
with a number of Canadian
advertising agencies on national
and international accounts. Dr. Ducoffe's
education includes earning
a BA in '80 from McGill University;
a MA from the University of
Southern California in '85, and a PhD
in mass media in '89 from Michigan
State University.
Dr. Ducoffe is stepping in for
Dr. Fred Ebeid, who has held the
position of interim provost and
vice chancellor for over three
years.
Staying secure
this semester
BY TAYLER KESSLER
kesslO 11 @rangers. uwp. edu
Safety is a main priority for the
UW-Parkside Police Department.
Officer Moeller, from the campus
police, urges students to be aware
of your surroundings, especially
when walking at night.
He also encourages students
to use the Safe Walk program
provided. You can do this by
calling the campus police at
262-595-2455 or stopping by
the desk outside the main concourse
by the library entrance.
If you decide not to take this
opportunity, make sure somebody
always knows where you
are going. Walk with others and
be observant.
Moeller also reminds students
to keep your belongings with
you at all times. "People leave
their leather jackets, computers,
backpacks, and it only takes 30
seconds for somebody to pick it
up and walk away." He reminds
students that there are not cameras
everywhere in the university and
not to rely on that.

fraternal members and the many individuals
we have crossed paths with through Service.
One Culture, Any Race; this describes
Omega Delta Phi's philosophy of inclusion.

Colleges, rape & Title IX
What happens
to the 85%?
from WE-CONSENT
via UWire, December 1, 2015
Are Colleges and Universities Neglecting 85%
of Potential Unwelcome Sexual Encounter Title
IX Violations?
Likely YES they are. Here is the how and the
why.
More than 85% of unwelcome and unwanted
sexual encounters go unreported according to the
major surveys done on college campuses in 2015
85%. Not that these encounters did not occur, not
that these encounters were consensual, not that these
encounters were okay ... they were UNREPORTED.
This statistic matches the most recent data
showing that 90% of all colleges and universities
reported ZERO sexual assaults in 2014 under the
terms of the Clery Act.
Unwelcome and unwanted sexual encounters
are potential violations of Title IX whether or
NOT they get reported. Colleges and universities
are required to address ALL such encounters that
have the potential to significantly interfere with a
student's access to educational opportunities.
The existing scope of efforts in prevention and
dealing with unwanted sexual encounters is quite
broad. These include education sessions, awareness
communications, and victim counseling. What
these efforts omit is two-fold: 1) programs directly
aimed at the 85% of victims who are non-reporting
and 2) prevention efforts that are both ongoing and
a part of the daily life of the typical student. Central
to these omissions is the idea that participants in
unwanted and unwelcome encounters need to identify
themselves as victims. If a participant fails to
identify as a victim, then the existing system all too
often fails to provide ANY meaningful help.
The 85% are entitled to help. They are entitled
to the support which enables them to access educational
opportunities without fear or paralyzing
confusion. The existing system needs to change.
The 85% are NOT just like the 15% who do
report. By definition, the simple fact that almost
9 out of 10 of all who experience unwelcome
and unwanted behavior do not report means that
there is something DIFFERENT going on with
that 85%. It is likely that the key difference comes
down to the perception of the label of "victim"
and all that is associated with it.
As noted in last week's Chronicle of Higher
Education, many in the 85% feel a degree of
co-responsibility for bad choices made, communications
that either did not occur or instead misoccurred,
thus creating contexts that gave rise to
misunderstandings and miscommunications. There
is an unwillingness to be explicit and clear about
the word "No." Co-responsibility is the opposite
of victimhood. When there is or was an absence of
physical coercion, co-responsibility is more likely
than victimhood.
The old societal standard of "no means no" is
rooted in the idea that sexual relations are between
a powerful male and a powerless female. This
power relationship was not between two people of
co-equal free will. Instead it was analogous to a
chattel relationship - in effect, one of "property."
The right to say "no" was then rooted in society
drawing limits regarding what the powerful could
do "to" his property. By definition, the assertion
of physical coercion is itself an expression
of a chattel relation - and it correctly identifies
"victims" and "predators" or "perpetrators." BUT,
as EVERY study has shown, most unwanted and
unwelcome sexual encounters do NOT involve
physical coercion.
When resources and programs are conditioned
upon the use of a label like "victim," that label
gains significance. Those who feel a degree of
co-responsibility - the silent 85% - are quite often
repulsed by the term "victim" - a label that denies
them both agency and freedom. To be a victim
is to be on the receiving end of an expression of
power in what seems to be a chattel relation -
one where notions of ownership, privilege, and
property take precedence over free will, personal
choice, and equality. If one believes that sexual
encounters are to be governed by licensure instead
of chattel, then one is asserting that BOTH parties
need to be actively involved in granting consent
and in fulfilling the pre-conditions to the license.
Agency — f ree will — is a troubling precondition.
If one believes that consent can be withdrawn
at any time, then one must examine why aggressive/inappropriate
and unwelcome behaviors
continued after such consent was withdrawn. The
granting of consent is the responsibility of both
parties so that they need to communicate clearly,
render the boundaries of the "license grant"
clearly, and enforce violations.
Victimhood denies the possibility of agency and
co-responsibility. With victimhood, all of the responsibility
is held by the privileged holder of chattel
rights. It is the failure to "look out for the welfare of
the less privileged" that makes the less privileged
a victim. Many in the 85% would argue that the
relationship with the other party was not chattel and
unilateral but that it was bi-lateral so that it was they
who had the sole or at least shared responsibility for
safeguarding their own interest. If they were a "victim,"
it was as a victim to their own errors, misjudgments,
passions, or lack of control - NOT the result
of the abuse of privilege by a chattel holder.
These views are NOT how politically correct
BUT THEY SHOULD BE. It makes no sense that
colleges' education efforts are focused more on
getting men to agree that "rape is bad — so do not
rape," rather than on "if you find yourself in an uncomfortable
or threatening position here is how you
might disengage" that is directed at BOTH sexes.
In an age that proclaims the equality of the
sexes, in teaching about the role of consent in
sexual encounters why are college students taught
lessons with their roots in chattel instead of licensure?
- in the failure of the noblesse oblige of the
"perpetrator" instead of the co-responsibility of
equal participants? The vast majority of students
on any given campus do not see themselves as
even having the possibility of being a sexual
predator - thus how are they expected to resonate
with educational programs whose main lesson is
"don't predate?"
Where are the tools designed to help all students
move away from unwelcome and unwanted
sexual encounters and joining either the 85% and
the 15%? Where are the props which students
need to help cue in appropriate behaviors to prevent
such encounters? How are the co-responsible
supposed to get counselling about being more
responsible - when available counselling is more
focused on dealing with being a victim and better
exploration of victim's rights? Prevention efforts
which fail to deal with co-responsibility are band
aids at best and moral failures at worst.
What colleges and universities are NOT doing
is taking steps to prompt discussions amongst
prospective partners before a sexual encounter. To
speak of "yes means yes" WITHOUT an "only"
in front is to broadcast a meaningless platitude. To
speak of consent presented in the context of chattel
instead of licensure is to degrade and disrespect one
if not both prospective partners before they even
contemplate a relationship. To fail to provide safe
zones for discussion where the co-responsible can
explore better ways to respond and react - responsibly
- throughout an encounter, is to deny students
the very education this sordid topic can best provide
them.
America's colleges and universities are failing
in their Title IX responses because those responses
fail to take into consideration that the overwhelming
number of students don't think of themselves
as either predators or as victims.
Full disclosure my institute produces mobile
phone apps to address these issues. We began with
a focus on co-responsibility and licensure, and our
suite of apps is the result.
So yes, I and my organization are biased. But
for effective protection against potential Title IX
liability it is time for college and universities to admit
that the approach of "don't rape" and "don't be
a victim" is NOT working - despite the increased
emphasis on education and the increased awareness
of sexual assault. MOST unwanted and unwelcome
sexual encounters involve TWO unhappy people
not just one. MOST involve a lack of clarity about
boundaries and the absence of well-articulated
licensure. MOST unwanted and unwelcome sexual
encounters do NOT involve physical coercion.
MOST do involve alcohol and other "rationality
impairing" substances. Title IX efforts need to
embrace these realities, not ignore them.
The 85% are entitled to a safe campus. They
are entitled to refuse the label of "victim." They
are entitled to the help they need to learn and grow
from what happened. And a safe campus will
minimize future occurrences of unwelcome and
unwanted sexual encounters that have the potential
to significantly interfere with a student's access to
educational opportunities.
Title IX was supposed to ensure that all students
receive opportunities to learn and grow. It is
time our institutions of higher education stepped
up to their responsibilities and provided such opportunities.
Not all unwanted and unwelcome encounters
rise to the label "assault" nor do they involve only
predators or victims. These other experiences are
the world of the 85%. Let's serve them too.

Being prepared for classes is a big
part of coming back to school, but
there are other things to keep in mind
when returning to Parkside.
When the semester begins in February,
the possibility of snow is high
and there are specific snow removal
procedures to be aware of.
First, facilities management,
police department, and housing directors
will determine if the parking
lots on campus need to be plowed
and when.
Then, housing is directed to notify
students via e-mail that their vehicles
are to be moved.
Directions regarding where the
cars should be moved will be posted,
but frequently used lots are the
Student Center, RITA, and Tallent.
If cars are not moved, they will be
ticketed and possibly towed.

FROM GENFKD
UWire Affiliate
NEW YORK, Jan. 12 - The vast majority of recent
college graduates believe that the current presidential
candidates are not talking about the issues that matter
most to them, according to a new survey of millennials
by GenFKD, a non-partisan organization dedicated
to promoting economic understanding and financial
literacy to college students and recent graduates.
Millennials account for 36 percent of eligible
voters, the largest demographic in the 2016 election,
according to ThinkProgress. Despite their
voting power, 86 percent of those 18 to 34 say this
year's presidential candidates are not addressing
them or their key issues they care most about:
Jobs and economic growth (19%) climate change
(14%), health Care (11%), and student debt (10%)
"It is very disappointing that the presidential
candidates are ignoring a vital demographic group and
the issues that matter most to millennials," said Justin
Dent, president and co-founder of GenFKD. "With an
uncertain economy and international instability, millennials
are more engaged than ever in the upcoming
election, yet they are left out of the discussion."
GenFKD polled 752 millennials through Survey
Monkey to determine which issues most concern
them and if they felt their concerns were being
adequately acknowledged in the national debate.
"Millennials are clearly concerned about the economy
they will inherit, and the opportunities available to
them," said Christopher Koopman of the Mercatus Institute
at George Mason University. "Unfortunately,
political candidates have a strong incentive to support
special interests over the causes that matter most to
young people. There is a danger in doing that because
millennials are concerned, active, and engaged."
"Until now, there have been less than a handful
of millennial issues addressed in hours and hours of
debates and interviews," said Dent, a student at the
University of Maryland. "We're worried about jobs
and graduating into a nation of the underemployed."

Eight music students showcased at Nov. recital
Ensemble shows start in March
BY ALYSSA WARNER
warne016@rangers.uwp. edu
The student recital that took place on November 13"' in Bedford Hall was
a huge success. Eight students stood up in front of a full concert hall to showcase
their talent.
The event started with bass singer, Braylon Green, who sang a classical
piece that exhibited his amazing voice control, followed by classical guitarist,
Matthew Mifflin, who played a chart that was both moving and exciting for
the audience switching from style to style.
The tone of the recital changed when David Zapp walked onto the stage.
His enthusiastic and spirited attitude showed his passion for singing and had
me smiling and laughing with enjoyment along with him.
Soprano singer, Brianna Santelli, took the spotlight next and changed
the feeling yet again by singing the ballad, Christmas Lullaby, from the
musical Songs for a New World written and composed by Jason Robert
Brown.
After her heartfelt conclusion, the strong tenor voice of Emanuel Camacho
tore through Bedford Hall. He sang a powerful Italian opera that featured his
impressive range and control.
To end the recital, two soprano singers, Rylie Armantrout and Christina
Jones each pleased the crowd with their performances.
Rylie sang a song from the musical Funny Girl and put a smile on everyone's
faces while enjoying it herself.
Christina took a more theatrical approach and entertained t ie au '^
nct
with an upbeat tune from Thoroughly Modern Millie, a musical base on
movie from 1967. _
Last semester rounded out with a few other recitals featuring UW-Par si c
students. On November 24"' the Jazz Ensemble had their final concert or the
semester in Bedford Hall at 7:30, with the Wind Ensemble's performance following

Regent to consider faculty policy changes
THE RANGER NEWS STAFF
rangernews@uwp. edu
A committee of the UW System regents
voted to approve a set of policy
drafts that give more power over
faculty tenure, review and layoff to the
System and campus administration.
They will be voted on by the whole
council later next month.
Those policies, which related to tenure
appointment, faculty review and
development, and layoff, appeared on
the UW System website for anonymous
public comment will be voted on
Feb. 5 by the UW System regents.
These policies, if adopted, would
affect current faculty and could
affect their decisions to remain with
the UW System campuses; they may
also affect the attractiveness of the
UW System to new hires.
The American Federation of
Teachers-Wisconsin Higher Education
Council opposes the drafts. A
release from the AFT-Wisconsin states
that the changes, prompted by calls
from Governor Scott Walker for more
investigation of prohibiting indefinite
and probationary appointments, would
compromise the employment security
of System institution faculty and undermine
academic freedom.
"What is most interesting are the
comments regarding these policies
from anonymous folks throughout
the system," said Helen Rosenberg,
chair of the university committee and
professor of sociology, in an email
forwarding the link for the drafts to
colleagues through the faculty and
Helen
Rosenberg
governance email
lists.
As of Feb. 4,
2016,36 pages
of comments on
the drafts had
been posted. The
numbers cited
above refer to comments
focused on
individual drafts;
the majority of the
comment report document available
comprised comments that addressed
multiple documents. The full slate of
drafts and comments are available at
https://www.wisconsin.edu/regents/
draft-tenure-policies.
Tenure review changes
Changes to tenure appointments
also received considerable attention
from readers of the drafts. The
proposed RPD 20-9, which would
change policy related to reviews of
faculty approved for tenure to support
professional development, received
14 comments. That document, which
does not have changes marked and
provides no link to the version under
adoption, would replace the current
RPD 20-9, which is available at:
https://www.wisconsin.edu/regents/
policies/guidelines-for-tenured-faculty-review-and-development/.
The draft increases System regulations
of campuses by adding revising
current wording and doubling the
number of new requirements that
campus must meet for their faculty
review and development plans.
UNIVERS ITY OF
WISCONSIN SYSTEM
usv
Of the eight new criteria added,
numbers nine and twelve contain
multiple sub-points, whereas other
regulations added as well as the
precedent eight were considerably
shorter. If approved, each of the 26
comprehensives universities and
13 two-year colleges would need
to submit their new plans within 9
months of the policy's adoption.
Sources for new policies
Detailing "Procedures Relating to
Financial Emergency or Program Discontinuance
Requiring Faculty Layoff
and Termination," Regent Policy Document
20-XX received 12 comments.
RPD 20-xx, which appears to combine
Sections 36.21 and 36.22 Wisconsin's
constitution, contains multiple comments
showing where language in the
proposed policy borrows from other
universities and the American Association
of University Professors.
At least one commenter expressed
disdain for the changes to at least one
of those recommendations, noting that
the draft policy says "faculty layoff
will be invoked only in extraordinary
circumstances and after all feasible
alternatives have been considered,"
while the AAUP recommendation
concluded with the word "exhausted."
While RPD 20-XX recommends
applying some policy adopted at UWMadison
to the whole System and -
attempts to align that policy with state
Administrative Code, the universities
and state university systems that
UW System attributes as sources in
the six-page proposal include the
Maryland, Minnesota, Michigan,
California State, Colorado at Boulder,
Connecticut, Maine, Pennsylvania,
Rutgers, Tennessee and Utah
Faculty appointment shifts
The draft that reflects the fewest
changes and received the fewest
comments relates to faculty tenure
appointments. As drafted, RPD 20-23
removes guarantees that those holding
faculty, faculty tenure or probationary
appointments who are unranked before
certain periods shall be treated as having
an associate professor ranking. It
retains the definitions for "probationary
appointment" and "tenure appointment"
as positions held preceding a
decision on tenure appointment and
positions held for unlimited periods
granted to ranked faculty.
The AFT-Wisconsin press release
calls for the Chancellors and Regents
to "Publicly and privately oppose
any and all attempts to abolish or
attenuate indefinite status appointments
for academic staff."
Profs not what students think
BYTAYLER KESSLER
kessle0011@rangers.uwp.edu
Many students ask themselves while the sit in class listening to their instructors
teach. "What does it take to be a professor at Parkside?"
Some hold PhDs and tenured positions. And students always call them "Professor."
But what does all that mean, exactly'/
The hiring process is taken very seriously at Parskide, say Scott Menke, interim
director of human resources, and Gary Wood, associate vice provost and associate
vice chancellor. They say that students can feel confident in their instructors.
But Menke and Wood, who also serves as associate vice chancellor, both offered
considerable insight in answering the broad question posed above.
As usually happens in college, the question asked doesn't have a simple answer.
It turns out that not all of the instructors at Parkside — or any school, for that
matter — a re professors. And they're not all tenured, either.
Apples to oranges
A good place to start is distinguishing between faculty and academic staff.
"Faculty" are professors who have either a PhD or other terminal degree in
their field. A terminal degree is the highest degree that can be earned in a specific
field, such as MFA (Master of Fine Arts) or MBA.
Professors not only teach classes but are also responsible for research and other
service, such as committee work and advising majors in their discipline. In addition
to preparing for lectures, creating assignments and grading papers, when faculty
are not engaged in the aforementioned service, they are actually doing work in their
field outside the classroom.
"Academic StaftV'on the other hand, can be hired for a variety of reasons.
Their responsibilities include work as advisors, work in the library or the student
center. They can be lecturers, as well.
A lecturer's duties might include teaching classes, but they also help with curriculum,
modify courses, develop new courses, and much more. Lecturers sometimes
have PhDs or other terminal degrees, but more often they hold a master's degree.
Tenure
Many students have heard of tenure but are not entirely sure what it is.
Simply put, after six years of working, professors who are hired into a tenuretrack
position can earn a tenure position if they have proven they are worthy of it
through many performance evaluations, recommendations, and much more.
Once tenured, instead of renewing their contract every year, they sign one that
can be looked at as open-ended.
But this doesn't mean they cannot be dismissed, which is a common misconception,
said Wood. He explained that if a professor is performing illegal activity, has
poor performance, or is doing something immoral, they can still be terminated.
Qualifications, training
Most new instructors have had some sort of teaching background — at the very
least in grad school. They have experience leading a class already.
All instructors at Parkside are offered what the university calls "professional
development activities" through the Teaching and Learning Center, directed
by James Robinson. Robinson and the T&LC to provide, among other things,
opportunities for professors to engage in teaching improvement activities. 1 hose
activities include attending conferences, workshops, and small informal activities
on campus where instructors can discuss classroom best practices. But instructors
are not required to undergo any formal training.
Both Menke and Wood want to make sure students know that the hiring process
is extensive and very thorough. When hiring faculty, there is always a national, or
even international, search that brings in many applicants.
Then, there is a lengthy screening process that examines the applicants teaching
and research records. When it comes time to interview on campus, often the hiring
committee will often schedule opportunities for applicants to interact with students.
Sometimes they are even invited to teach a class to see how the instructors perform.
There are more than 4,100 students,
and almost a quarter are under 25.
i of new freshmen and !8% of all undergraduates live on campus.

THE RANGER NEWS 81 Sports
Ranger wrestlers push for title
February 11th, 2016
Sports Standings
BY DEREK FYE
fyeOOO01 @rangers.uwp. edu
U W-Parkside's wrestling team selected the
motto "Pave Your Way." If they hold to that, many
of the team's members will each hold national
championships by the season's end.
The team is currently ranked first in the Division
11 Wrestling Coaches Association poll for
Super Region II. released on January 12,2016. To
understand why, one needs little more than to observe
the team practice or to talk to their leaders.
Praised by coach & staff
The wrestling room brims with intensity and
focus of the wrestlers and coaching staff as they
wrestle or run laps. Head Coach Gregg Lewis
said this is probably the best team he's had in his
five years as head coach and 21 years with the
program. "It doesn't matter who we're wrestling,"
Lewis said. "We're going after it. Discipline is
what it really comes down to."
Lewis also credits the leadership of select wrestlers
as being the difference in making this team
great, and Lewis' support staff agrees. Athletic
trainer Tyler Martin is in his second season with
the team.
"They're such hard workers," Martin said.
"Their hard work and dedication can't be beat...
The time and dedication it takes, not many kids
can do that."
Martin said the sport's difficulty — and its main
attraction for him was its "pure athleticism. It's
you and your opponent, nothing else out there."
The season began with 30 wrestlers; but Lewis
said he believes that the 25 gritty remaining
members have withstood the rigors of the sport,
resulting in the current roster.
Men's B-ball
amid another
dominating
campaign
BY DEREK FYE
fyeOOOO 1 @uwp. edu
With an imposing win/loss record
of 15-3, the University Of Wisconsin-
Parkside men's basketball
team is having another remarkable
season.
The team is averaging 82.6 points
per game, 10.2 more than their opponents.
In the Jan. 26
lh edition of the
National Association of Basketball
Coaches NCAA Division II Men's
Basketball Rankings, the Rangers
breached the top 25, earning the 2 I s
'
spot.
With a recent overtime victory
over #11 Bellarmine, one can only
expect the Ranger's rank to continue
to rise.
Senior guard Andy Mazurczak
is a key contributor to the Rang-
-ers' achievement, leading the team
in points per game (17.9) and free
throws made (75), as of Jan 28.
Mazurczak is second in assists
(67), second in steals (18), fourth in
three- point field goals made (19),
and fourth in rebounds (72). He is
shooting an exceptional 88% from
the free throw line and a solid 56%
on field goals.
Sophomore guard Kendale McCullum
and Junior guard Alexander
Brown have also been significant
contributors for the Rangers.
Brown is the second leading
scorer and McCullum is the third
leading scorer and one of the top
rebounders on the team.
Junior center Goran Zagorac, and
Freshman forward Kyle Flanagan are
the team's most productive big men.
Zagorac leads the team with 18
blocked shots, 43 offensive rebounds,
and 75 defensive rebounds.
Flanagan has added 16 blocked
shots, 23 offensive rebounds, and 54
defensive rebounds.

Week, is shown in this photo from a Jan. 19 home
meet at the Petretti Fieldhouse.
Team leaders lead division
Lewis identified three key figures on the team
who lead the pack.
Nick Becker, a Redshirt Sophomore from Hartford,
Wl, currently ranked first in the 174lb class
in the Division II Wrestling Coaches Association
Super Region II Poll. His ultimate goal is to win
a National championship - a goal he said he set
for personal and team victory by coming in "every
day with a purpose."
Joseph Her, a Redshirt Senior from Two Rivers,
WI, ranked fourth in the 133lb weight class with
an 18-5 record. Her also aims to win a National
championship.
Nick Fishback, a Redshirt Senior from Orland
Park, IL, is ranked first in the 1651b weight class
with a record of 19-2. Fishback's biggest accomplishments
are earning All- American honors and
placing 5
lh in the National championship last year.
Credit where it's due
Her credits the coaches' leadership and support
for much of their success.
"Sometimes you love them, sometimes you
hate them," he said. "But they're always there for
you."
Her said the team also succeeds largely due to
their effort to "get better every day, one percent at
a time."
Her credits his team's stunning record to shortterm
memory- and "not just going through the motions"
when it comes to practice.
Fishback pointed to common mindsets on the
team.
"We all have the same goals," he said. "You get
out what you put in."
As far as obstacles are concerned, Her said,
injuries pose the biggest threat to the team.
Seniors leaving roster soon
The thing Fishback said he'll miss most after
the conclusion of this season will be the brotherhood
and comradery of the team and the feeling of
competition that is common in the sport.
Her agreed with him, saying that he will miss
"being a family with the guys" when he leaves
after graduation.
Fishback said he aspires to be a college wrestling
coach.
"Coaches have been my biggest role models,"
Fishback said. "I like giving back to the sport."
Fishback describes the key to his success as
"putting in the time and the work," and his future
goal as "trying to do something better next year."
Always striving to improve is a theme synonymous
with this team.

Rangers fall to Hawks in volleyball
BY JALEN PERRY
perry039@rarigers.uwp.edu
Rangers volleyball concluded the
fall with a sad end to their otherwise
bright season.
The women finished with a regular
season record of 19-11 and headed
into the Great Lakes Valley Conference
tournament on Friday, November
20 against the top team in the GLVC
West, Rockhurst. They lost 3-0 in the
quarterfinals to the Hawks, who hail
from Kansas City, MO.
Don't call it a comeback
The quarterfinal GLVC loss is a
minor slump in an otherwise stellar
streak for the team.
For a long time, Rangers volleyball
wasn't considered one of
the strongest fall sports teams on
campus. The team dominated the late
70's and late 80's, but saw little success
since, putting up very inconsistent
records.
But the club has seen a major
turnaround since the "dark days"
of the 90's and early 2000's. Since
2009, two years before current head
coach, Christine Paciero, took the
reins, the team has had nothing
but success as they accumulated 6
straight winning seasons.
Since Paciero took the helm as
coach, the Rangers have seen their
best volleyball team since those of
the 70's and 80's. And their work
shows that a team is about much
more than just the sport.
"We've strung together four straight
winning seasons, but in the last four
years we've made the conference tournament
two out of those four," Paciero
said near the end of the fall season "We
are all competitive and want to make
the conference tournament every year,
and then ultimately the NCAA tournament...we
haven't reached those goals,
so we aren't completely satisfied."
Academic success
The Rangers volleyball athletes
also excel in the classroom. In addition
to being honored at the 2016
convocation for having the highest
combined GPA of all student athletes
at the university at 3.42., the team
collected the GLVC Team Academic
Award and American Volleyball
Coaches Association Team Academic
Award two straight seasons
(2013-14, 2014-15).
While excelling in the classroom is
one thing, the individual success of the
Rangers has not been ignored by the
GLVC conference. It was announced
November 19,2015 that three Rangers
had made an AU-Conterence team. Junior
Rebecca Roembke was named to
the GLVC First Team; Roembke lead
the GLVC in kills and points. Junior
Lauren Hickson and sophomore Jackie
Langer were named to the Honorable
Mention team.
Rebuilt a firm foundation
Coach Paciero discussed in an
interview in the Spring of 2015 how
the team, though boasting a winning
record, was in a rebuilding stage. By
the following Fall, she thought a firm

"Some of our key players have a
lot of experience," she said. "This
includes Lauren Hickson, Meghan
Conley, defensive specialist Jessi
Mainczyk — all three are team
captains — and Rebecca Roembke;
they've all been 3-4 year players. But
we also have a lot of youth, our two
middle [players], sophomore Lexi
Turek and freshman Elizabeth Mavis
have been key ... there's a great balance
of youth and experience, which
has been a key to our success."
Coach Paciero and her staff believe
that this has possibly been the
most enjoyable team in her five year
stint with the team. But she points to
the team's leadership as a pivotal in
the athletes' success.
"One of the main reasons we are
experiencing this success is because
of the leadership, team chemistry,
and culture," Paciero said. "All that
being said, we also have great talent;
we have some great athletes."
Coach calls on fans
The coach also had a personal
message to the fans.
"I want to encourage the fans to
attend events," Paciero said last semester.
"Whether it's a theatre event
or an athletic event, when you attend
and support each other, it makes the
college experience more enjoyable.
I want to encourage the Parkside
community to have a little more fun!
Come out and support all events;
show a little bit of Parkside Pride
and support Ranger Nation."

April 3, 2014 \ V I News since 1972 _ . ^News University of Wisconsin Parkside's Student Newspaper The Ranger News is written and edited by students of the University of Wisconsin Parkside and they are solely responsible for its editorial policy and content. PSG denies Segregated Fee budget for second time Doria DeBartolo debai004@ u wp .edu On Wednesday March 19 the Segregated University Fees and Allocation Committee (SUFAC) presented a segregated fee budget for the coming fiscal year, which was in turn denied by the PSG Senate with 3 votes in the negative by Senators Byron Dowse, Gabrielle Krawczyk and Ghazan Mian. Voting in the affirmative were Senator Natalie Longria and Senator Timothy Tennyson. Senators Zeemet Mian, Rajan Naji, and Marybeth Perdomo were absent from this meeting. SUFAC worked to revise this budget and presented a new version on Friday March 21 at noon in the Oak Room. Of the 20 Senator seats that are available, only 8 are filled and of these 8 Senators only 5 voted on the initial budget presentation. PSG is aware of the narrow representation of the student body on PSG, and also on the Agenda for the March 21 meeting are possible solutions for the number of Senate seats that currently sit empty. In the Wednesday meeting, Senator Dowse acted as Speaker of the Senate due to the recent resignation of previous speaker Senator Steven Miksch. Dowse was later officially elected as.Speaker of the Senate on March 21 by unanimous consent. SUFAC director Chris Headley announced in the initial budget presentation that the budget was $3,591,216 including both allocable and non-allocable funds. This year only $398,721 could be allocated to various campus student organizations. Headley mentioned that SUFAC was forced to make a lot Photo courtesy of Maggie Lawler. of tough decisions and make quite a few cuts due to decreased enrollment. Decreased funds motivated SUFAC to approve a 1 percent increase to segregated fees which would allow for some money to be placed in a contingency fund to be used in the event that enrollment continues to decrease. Carol Kinsley, accountant for UW-Parkside, stated that the full time student segregated fees per semester are currently $508.80. If a one percent increase in fees is approved, a full time student will pay $513.84 per semester or $42.82 per credit. Senator Dowse and Kinsley mentioned that students are also paying through segregated fees for the lack of profit in the Parkside bookstore. Dowse stated that assistant Dean Steve Wallner informed SUFAC that other models of operation are being reviewed. The bookstore loss is also an agenda item for future discussion. Another cause for more limited allocable funds this year is the closing of the child care center. Since SUFAC voted to close the center last year, previous employees who filed for unemployment have and will continue to impact the SUFAC budget until they become employed. There has also been a 1 percent pay raise for faculty members, which is additionally taken from student segregated fees. In an attempt to achieve fairness for all students, Senator Dowse felt it is right to inform students that the Parkside Dance team has received operating funds from the budget of Tammy McGuckin, Dean of Students. Also, the Parkside football club did not appear before SUFAC and is receiving funds from administration. This year, for the first time in the history of Park-side all student organizations were allowed to present their budget before SUFAC. Senator Dowse stated that this was because the committee voted that SOC (Student Organization Committee) was not an organization and the SOC members had not gone through mandatory neutrality training required by law to allocate funds. SOC was dissolved in the fall semester of 2013. Another meeting for a third SUFAC presentation of a once again revised budget was held this past Monday March 31, as the budget was due on April 1. For information on this meeting regarding the segregated fee budget follow the Ranger News at trnon-line.org. College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Nursing students provide 'Hand Up at 'Stand Down Guest Writer Kathryn Rotsch rotsc001@uwp.edu On Saturday February 22 I found myself in a room full of people shouting "better" in unison when asked how they were doing; the enthusiasm was palpable. I had the chance to join students from UW Parkside and UW Milwaukee to help out at the Milwaukee Stand Down for Veterans. "Stand Down" is a military term for the removal of troops from the battlefield and placing them in a safe, secure area. The Stand Downs main purpose is to "give a hand up" to homeless, struggling or in need veterans. Among the services offered at the Milwaukee Stand Down were health screening and referral, job placement assistance, and the distribution of food, clothing, and toiletries. Many of the UWP College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Nursing volunteers, including me, were astounded by the amount of veterans that are homeless. None of us understand how our country has failed men and women who have given so much to our country UW Parkside Senior Amy Ganshert said, "Grasping the enormous sacrifice these men and women took leaving family, friends, and familiar surroundings to protect us in foreign lands took courage. The fact that they come back home with issues due to their service should move everyone. PTSD due to action, assault, or torture was not taken care of in the 60s. Many of these men and women served in Vietnam, a war that vilified our military veterans. Service requires obeying superior officers and that war made many people upset leaving our veterans without the support they deserved." . Veteran Army Combat Welder Claude Foster has been to six Stand Downs, "a lot of-veterans need to come. They don't think they have the problem - but it's not just the world". He feels that the Stand Down is good for the community UWP College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Nursing students Kathryn Rotsch, Jennifer Blum, Brian Chieves, Amy Ganshert, Ashley Juntenen, Cassandra Stinefast, and Sarah Pahlke making a tremendous difference! Photo courtesy of Kathryn Rotsch. and makes a real difference. The motto of the Stand Down is: "A hand up, not a hand out" and Mr. Foster is very glad for the stand downs because he has learned more about his health and where he should seek help. It was veteran Thomas Harris' first stand down. He said "it's good to show concern for vets. This experience makes me feel peaceful". Observing other veterans piece is not easy to come by with the stresses of the world they have to come back to.. For many of us volunteering that day it was an awe-inspiring experience, "to support the people who have supported us and allow us to live our lives is humbling. We are a small part, helping with vision screening but it is our way of giving back" said Jennifer Blum Senior at UW Milwaukee. For most of the UWP students volunteering this Stand down was not the first and it certainly will not be the last. For the full story, please visit trnonline.org.

Earns
chancellor position SAMANTH A CPOSililntr.
and content.
SAMANTHA SCHMALING
schma005@rangers.uwp.edu
Lane Earns, who serves
as the interim chancellor for
University of Wisconsin-
Parkside, announced at the end of
March that he will no longer be
pursuing the permanent position
of chancellor.
Earns was originally
approached by UW System
President Reilly to fill the
temporary position of interim
chancellor at UW-Parkside. Reilly
expressed with confidence that
Earns was the right person for the
job, and Earns felt that he could
help the campus in continuing to
move fo rward as it looked for a
permanent chancellor.
When asked by the Ranger
News what kind of goals
he wanted to fulfill during
his temporary position, he
replied, " I wanted to: bring a
transparent leadership style to
the campus; begin a strategic
planning process;' develop
more effective recruitment and
retention strategies; develop
quality transfer articulation
agreements between Parkside
and area educational institutions;
and continue administrative
support of diversity and inclusive
excellence."
Earns believes that he has
made progress in all of his goals
for UW-Parkside, but believes
there is still continuous work that
can be done.
He also expressed that in
his time here, the campus had
to redirect its focus towards the
budget reductions, which were
the largest in the University's
history. Earns felt that the campus
has approached the budget
reduction in a proper manner. He
is confident that the campus will
make it through the budget cuts
and remain true to the academic
mission, and keep the personnel
intact.
Earns' words of advice
directed towards the students are
as follows:
"Look around and
enjoy your beautiful campus
and appreciate the wonderful
diversity of people that make up
this University. Take advantage of
what it has to offer - both inside
and outside of the classroom.
Parkside's faculty and staff
members care not only about your
academic success, they care about
you as peopl e. UW-Parkside is,
indeed, a special place with much
to offer you."
I can say without hesitation
that my time at Parkside was
one of the best professional
experiences of my life, and that
I have enjoyed being here. From
my first day, I have received
tremendous support from the
campus and the community, and
I would like to thank everyone for
their kindness."
After leaving UW-Parkside,
Earns will return to his previous
position of Provost and Vice
Chancellor of Academic Affairs
at UW-Oshkosh. UW-Parkside
will be continuing the Search
and Screen process for a new
chancellor.
"I can say without hesitation that
my time at Parkside was one of the
best professional experiences of my
life, and that I enjoyed

various other students as writeins.
Zak Smith, current Vice-
President of PSG, was re-elected
with 220 votes; some of the
remaining votes went to other
students as write-ins.
SUFAC-at-large had two
candidates up for election. Ken
Horton and Jose Sanchez. Both
students were elected with 158
and 150 votes, respectively.
Several senators were ru nning
for re-election, including Ronnie
Beesley, Christina Bieser, Ben
Holmes, and Heather Porter.
Students could vote for up
to 20 Senatorial candidates,
including any write-ins. There
are 20 Senators-elect for the
2009-2010 school year: Ronnie
Beesley, Christina Beeser, Ben
Holmes, Heather Porter. Dana
Calamia, Jisha Jose, Dennis
Orellana, Kasey Pasqualini,
Nelson Senda, Johnathan Sword.
Marlene Wells, Jason Wolfe,
Linda Vang, Matthew Smanski,
Mark Baumgartner, Chris
Schatzman, Michelle Slabik,
David Wilson, David Lynn, and
Erin McDermott.
The Green Fund is designed to
use student mo ney to help make
the student life buildings (such
as Ranger Hall and the Student
Center) more environmentally
friendly. It received
overwhelming support with 202
votes.
There were two constitutions
available for voters to reference
to guide their decision on the
last part of the ballot. The
Election Committee's goal was
to eliminate the controversy from
earlier this year over whether a
constitution had been properly
ratified by the students in the
last election. The options were
to go with Constitution A. which
is what PSG has been operating
under for this current school
year; Constitution B. which is the
constitution used d uring the last
school year; or pick neither and
draft a new one. Constitution A
passed with 171 votes.
Election results will be ratified
by the Parliamentarian at the PSG
Inauguration, which will be held
May 6.

After two days of open polls
last week, the University of
Wisconsin-Parkside Student
Government preliminary election
results are in. 284 ballots were
cast in this election, compared
to roughly 500 ballots in last
spring's election. Polls were open
later this year, with the addition
of night hours for those students
with evening classes.
The ballot for this year's
election consisted of votes
for President, Vice-President,
SUFAC-at-large, and Senate
candidates. Additionally, the
ballot asked for students to
approve or disapprove a "green
fund", as well as askin g students
to vote on which constitution they
believe the student government
should be operating under.
Incumbent Theodore (Ted)
Ruffalo and challenger Andrew
(Drew) Adams were the
Presidential candidates; Ruffalo
won with 191 votes compared
to Adams' 74 votes. A majority
of the remaining votes went to

And once again, we are
rapidly approaching the end of
the semester. Three more issues
after this one! Then there's
summer break, and then we will
be online come fall. I'm pretty
excited to get the new website
up and running over summer so
you guys can get news much,
much sooner than ever before.
Being online will make our lives
much easier as well, as we'll be
able to update from anyplace at
any time. No more sitting in the
office all day Sunday laying out
the issue...actually, come to think
of it, that's kind of sad. It's almost
like a tradition.
Anyway, luckily the papers
arrived on time this week. I was
hoping they'd be on time since
PSG elections were Wednesday
and Thursday, and our front page
was cpvering both candidates
for President. On Thursday, I
came in to the office rather early
and found a pipe that had burst
overnight, and anything that
had been sitting on the common
table in the middle of our office
was ruined. Thankfully, nothing
of value was damaged, and
thankfully the issues had gotten
distributed on time. I normally
stack the papers on that middle
table, and they all would have
been ruined if they had been late.
Registration begins soon
for fall, and as always we're
offering internships for the
upcoming semester. We do not
offer summer internships, since "
we don't publish over summer
break. But starting in fall, we're
welcoming anyone who is
interesting in interning with us.
And even if you want to join us
without the internship, we would
love to have you!
With that in mind, I'll let you
continue reading. Have a great
week, see you next Tuesday.

Foreign Film: "The Counterfeiters"
9:00pm
Cinema
The Foreign Film series saves its
best film for last with 2008 Academy
Award-winning Best Foreign Film
"The Counterfeiters." This film
takes a hard look at one of the most
controversial and ethically dubious
activities of World War II: Jewish
collaboration with the Nazis. The
film tells the story of the greatest
counterfeiting operation in history,
dubbed "Operation Bernhard."
Beginning in 1942 and continuing
until 1945, the Nazis set up shops in
the cell blocks of the Sachsenhausen
concentration camp to copy
everything from identity papers to
securities to currency. Their longterm
plan was to supplement their
military might with an influx of
phony money into world markets
that would cripple the economies of
the U.S. and Great Britain. The film
shows a different side of the war
than what we are used to. Director
Stefan Ruzowitzky depicts the care
and attention to detail that went
into the operation. The result was
a pound note so authentic it passed
inspection by the Bank of England.
This represents the backdrop to
the struggle of conscience endured
by the main characters, and that's
where The Counterfeiters' core
strength lies. This is a "must see!"

KELSEY HOFF
Hoff0013@uwp.edu
Carl Bryan, a nineteen year
old University of Wisconsin-
Parkside freshman, has been
elected to the Kenosha Unified
School District No. 1 District
Board of Education. He decided
to run for the second time in
September of last year and will be
sworn in on April 27.
T h e
p r o c e s s
has taken
him at
least two
years. He
first decided
that he wanted
to run during his
junior year and
was appointed
to a spot on the
budget and finance
committee during
his senior year.
Based on the
results of last year's
election, he decided
that he had a good chance this
year as long as his class schedule
would allow it.
Bryan's campaign team
ranged from fellow students,
friends, and family to teachers
and elected officials such as
other school board members and
aldermen. Bryan felt a strong
sense of accomplishment from
"being able to mobilize kids,"
and get them involved with
the issues, but his favorite part
of campaigning was meeting
people. He enjoys hearing their
concerns, getting to know them,
and hearing their encouraging
words of support.
Campaigning this year
was a lot easier because of his
experience last year; his biggest
challenge has been reading up on
the issues, according to Bryan.
He has "done his homework" and
learned a lot from his term on the
budget and finance committee.
Bryan feels that the two
most important issues this year
are the process of searching
for a new superintendent and
managing the three hundred
million dollar budget. Joseph
Mangi is the current interim
superintendent and Bryan thinks
that they need someone with
the same leadership qualities.
The district is in a budget
deficit and is receiving less
and less funding from the state,
so fiscal accountability is at
issue. Bryan would also like to
see effort towards student and
administrator accountability,
with school board policies being
more strictly enforced in the
classroom. He hopes to change
and possibly liquidate certain
programs and policies that do not
work anymore.

SUFAC changes likely
JOHNATHAN JACOB
Jacob015@uwp.edu
Members of Segregated
University Fees Allocation
Committee (SUFAC) are
working tirelessly to initiate and
oversee changes that will benefit
all of Parkside's students with
consistency and fairness. The
main issue at hand is determining
a better way to allocate funds that
are available for organizations,
clubs, events, etc.
Currently, these funds
are made available because of
segregated fees, commonly
referred to as "seg fees." Once
student tuition is paid, money
from that source is put asidesegregated-
for other things.
The formula for determining
the amount of these fees is as
follows: The dollar amount that
Parkside receives for tuition is
divided by the number of students
enrolled in school. A common
assumption is that the more
a student pays for tuition, the
greater the amount of money that
is available for student activities
and organizations, but this is not
necessarily the case.
Under the present system,
clubs and organizations that
request money receive funding
based on a system of "tiers" and
whether or not they have earned
"major status." Briefly, "tiers"
are the different levels of support
(money) that are awarded. If a
club or organization is a tier one
(1), they are likely to receive
more funding than a tier two (2).
"Major status" is given to any
organization that is determined
to be "established." Meeting
these criteria creates a significant
advantage because requests for
funding can be made directly to
SUFAC. Otherwise, if major
status has not been awarded, the
individual or group requesting
money must first go to the Student
Organization Council (SOC),
who then presents the request to
SUFAC.
According to Carly-Anne
Ravnikar, SUFAC director,
the elimination of "tiers" and
"major status" is among the
most significant changes being
initiated by SUFAC. The idea
is to eliminate any politics that
may be involved so that groups
are not awarded funding based
on the number of members they
may have or who they know.
The mission is to "put everyone
on an even plane," according to
Ravnikar.

The Ranger News A Cup JOSHUA BRADLEY With imnli^otionr o1 f Hope
joshuabradley 11 @hotmail.com
§The HOPES Center is
hoping' you'll consider before
buying another cup of coffee.
The typical morning 'cup of
joe' is more than an indulgence.
In fa ct, it is an industry' worth
$80 billion, second only to oil.
Americans import 20 percent of
the world's coffee beans, making
them the world's top consumers.
with implications on a global
scale and US drinkers are most
responsible.
Americans drink coffee in
the morning to wake up, in the
afternoon to stay energized and in
the evening to relax with friends.
Out of this .coffee obsession,
advocates for international
responsibility have emerged.
Advocates like the FLO and FAO
point out the disparity between
the prices paid to farmers and
the prices paid by American
consumers. The United Nations
estimates that a farmer earns
$.03 from a latte that costs $3 at
a specialty coffee shop. Some
large-operation coffee employees
receive $2.00 a day, less than
Starbucks charges for a Grande
Latte.
The vision of a more
equitable coffee exchange
developed in 1988, during
a global price plunge. Nearly
20 million coffee farmers
world-wide were underbidding
other farmers, until thev were
of economics resulted from overproduction
and a devaluation of
coffee beans. To resolve the issue,
organizations established a 'fairtrade
effort, the HOPES Center
added a coffee shop, "A Cup of
Hope" In downtown Racine,
the HOPES Center fills a variety
of roles. It offers mentoring,
fairly traded goods and coffee
and baked foods. Though new to
the scene, the Center aspires to
become a center for community
and University engagement. The
connections to the campus are
already developing: the logo was
designed by a Parkside student
and many of the volunteer
positions are filled by our campus
peers.
Tobring together Uni versity
the HOPES Center is

International
encourage students to join them
and other Parkside organizations.
"It's a way for students to meet
and interact with leaders in the
community" said Sidra Syed,
President of the International
Club. Other organizations will
also attend.
The event will take place
on April 17"'. at 6:00pm at the

two Bachelor's degrees from the

Terrorism: Another disease
April 14, 2009
RYAN ASHTON
ashto001@uwp.edu
In a well-known
paper entitled On Being Sane
in Insane Places, psychologist
David Rosenhan argued that the
use of labels such as "mentally
ill" to describe individuals can
have unintentional negative
side effects. Rosenhan's paper
discussed a study he conducted
in the early 1970s testing
the legitimacy of psychiatric
diagnoses made by health care
professionals. Rosenhan arranged
for eight "normal" individuals to
fake symptoms of schizophrenia
to gain admission into one of
12 regular hospitals' psychiatric
wards. If successfully admitted,
each "pseudo-patient" was to
immediately cease the faking of
any schizophrenic symptoms and
attempt to convince the psychiatric
staff that they in fact were not
"mentally ill." Rosenhan reported
that while it was relatively easy
for the pseudo-patients to acquire
the label "schizophrenic," it
was extremely difficult for them
to shed that label once it was
assigned. Rosenhan stated that the
average length of hospitalization
for his pseudo-patients was 19
days, and that each pseudopatient
was discharged with a
diagnosis of schizophrenia "in
remission" rather than having the
label completely removed.
Now consider the
implications of Rosenhan's study
on the label "terrorist" as often
used by U.S. officials and the
mainstream media. Ever since
George W. Bush dubbed his
military campaign in the Middle
East the War on Terror," we have
been hearing incessantly about
how vital it is that we defeat
those "terrorists" who "hate our
freedoms."
I th ink it is fair to say that the
diagnosis "terrorist" is mostly a
claim about one's psychological
make-up, similar to the way the
diagnosis "schizophrenic" is
psychological. When one labels
someone a terrorist, one is saying
something about a person's
thoughts, beliefs, desires, etc.
(e.g. "they hate our freedoms").
Similar to the Rosenhan
study, it appears that the label
"terrorist" is assigned somewhat
easily and liberally: there are
apparently a lot of them and
we are to believe that there will
continue to be a lot of them for a
long time.
It is not clear who is
diagnosing this large population
of people as "terrorists," or what
criteria they might be using to do
so (I don't think Bush or Obama
are credentialed psychologists);
but, unlike the Rosenhan
study, they must be doing their
diagnosing outside of a highly
controlled inpatient unit since
all those terrorists are scattered
in hiding places throughout the
Mid-East. If it was relatively easy
for Rosenhan's pseudo-patients
to receive a false diagnosis in
a controlled environment, how
likely is it that our government
officials (or military soldiers
and pilots for that matter)
have accurately diagnosed the
condition of "terrorist" from afar?
I can't say I like those odds.
Despite the difficulties
inherent in the labeling of
terrorists, there is the companion
problem of figuring out how and
when the "disease" of terrorism
might be "cured." President
Obama's official webpage
(whitehouse.gov) boldly asserts
that it is his policy to "Defeat
Terrorism Worldwide." This
without a cure
implies that there is a "cure"
tor the psychological mindset
of "terrorism." If we apply
Rosenhan's study here, we are
likely to believe that once a person
is labeled a "terrorist," there is
probably little chance for that
person to shed that label. Beyond
the realm of mental illnesses like
schizophrenia, we tend to see this
permanent labeled-ness" when
it comes to the label "criminal"
(e.g. the ramifications of being a
"registered sex offender," etc.).
So, it seems fair to say that
since there is a population of
people now known as "terrorists,"
there is no realistic chance for
these psychologically-afflicted
"terrorists" to be "cured," and
there is no real chance that these
afflicted individuals will be
given a clean bill of health and
"discharged" back to their normal
lives. Once a terrorist, always a
terrorist, I suppose.
Knowing the implications of
such a label kind of makes me wish
there was a more rigorous process
of diagnosing "terrorism."
President Obama appears
to understand the ramifications
of labeling terrorists as well;
however his approach is a little
different from mine. Rather than
be more careful in the labeling of
humans as terrorists to prevent
unnecessary hardships for nonafflicted
individuals, Obama
would rather just eliminate
everyone who happens to have
been labeled a terrorist. Obama
states on his webpage that he
intends to "ensure that our military
becomes more stealthy, agile, and
lethal in its ability to capture or
kill terrorists "
See. there is no "cure" listed
there. Just "capture or kill."
This is how we deal with the
psychological state of "terrorism."
Since the disease cannot be killed,
the host cannot shed the label;
therefore, we simply must kill or
quarantine the host. That is how
we "defeat terrorism."
It is interesting to note that
Rosenham's paper went on to
discuss ways in which the label
"mentally ill" could lead to the
dehumanization of the person
carrying that label as well...I
wonder if there's a parallel with
the label "terrorist" on that front
as well?
STAFF EDITORIAL
GEORGE LASLEY

The article on Whites Swim in
Racial Preference by Tim Wise is
intriguing, and very meaningful.
The article was encouraging,
courageous and outstanding.
These adjectives are not enough
to explain the importance of how
whites view themselves and the
rest of the world. The metaphor
that some whites live inside of
a fish bowl is outstanding. I find
Tim Wise to be particular correct
on many issues. For example
when Wise says that fishes are not
capable of understanding their
surroundings that makes them
float, live and grow, that is some
truth to that. The most significant
element of this idea is that, there
are some whites who do not
recognize their advantages.
There is such a thing as
racial preferences. The structure
of society is bias towards one
type of culture, race, or people.
These element leaves out many
minorities and people of color
whom look different. The idea
that people are judge from outside
in, instead of inside out is difficult
to understand as a person that is
mixed decent. I am aware that
these problems occur all the time
that many people have became
custom to ignoring people's
concerns, problems, and attitudes
that suggest that inequality still
exist in the society. These people
who are affected, may lose jobs or
even the opportunity to even get
one. This idea is stunting because
people without any means to
survive will become animalistic.
I feel that society as a whole
can improve but there are not
lhat many people that are willing
to stick up and stand up against
people that are racist, hurtful,
or ignorant to others. If people
were to protect each other equal
rights, than these problems of
discrimination would have been
long goon. Instead many people
are living within a fish bowl,
not realizing that this type of
behaviors, actions, and deeds
exist.
I have heard many people
say that Affirmative action isn't
necessary because it takes away
the notion of treating people
fairly. These people are living
inside of a fish bowl for sure.
Even the former president of the
United States of America, which
are supposed to represent the land
of the free, thinks that affirmative
action has no room in our society.
Even someone that became the
president of the Unites States has
overlooked the fact that many
minorities are being left out of
elite schools and work places.
These people seem to forget
that our society is still based on
images and not intelligence. Our
society is also in control by a
particular race, who rather hire
and trust their own before letting
other races get the opportunity to
excel and achieve at the goals that
they have set for themselves.
Yes, I think that many people
are stuck believing something
only from the perspective that
they were taught, which makes
this experience of trying to
diversify American's even harder.
Until people that are in power
realize that there are people who
are getting left out and forgotten
about, we as a country, and as a
nation will continue to argue,
sweat, and fight over the same
issues, that caused many people
to die. I stand in the gap for
people who must strive harder
than others. Racism is something
that means more to me than a
word that causes ethnicities to
divide amongst each other. I f eel
that racism is a disease that has
affected too many lives. I think
this disease and epidemic is being
displayed all around the country,
the world, and in peoples' lives.
There are some people that will
not diversify at all.
This particular idea, notion,
and fact cause me to stand up for
equal right in places that may seem
taboo. I f eel that the more people
try to bring light on an issue that
is as powerful as racism the better
off minorities will be, because
they will learn how to counter act
racism. I am no better than any
other person of color or monitory,
or even the people that are not,
but I will not give up as a person,
I know that there is a lot in life
for people who really work hard.
I will not say yes, to people no's.
I will not fight with my hands, but
with the instruments that God has
given me. I will continue to stand
in the gap for people that are
getting mistreated for standing up
for themselves as well as others.
I get called a Nigger or a Nigga,
even though I dislike both words.
But, I understand who I a m, and
what I nee d to become.
These words are what the
enemy uses to try and keep the
oppressed from rising up like the
sun from the water and becoming
bright as can be. I have seen to
many people not make it to their
professional stage in their life,due
to the fact that people have singled
them out and hurt their potential
of becoming great. The idea that
too many people are judge on the
bases of their skin instead of the
content of their character, gives
me the motivation that a young
man needs to transpire into a
person that can conquer anything
with God.
The case studies are evidence
that people are getting treated
wrongly because of he person
that they are. These case studies
do not strike me at all, I am very
aware of how people can feel and
think about other people outside
their race. All fourteen studies
are mindboggling. As a future
educator, what can I tell my
students that will face racism and
discrimination? What should 1
say? The fact is, I am not allowed
to speak about certain issues.
However, 1 will encourage them
to read and write on issues that
have been published for people
to understand what the world
consists of. There will be Latinas
in my class, well as African-
Americans , well as whites. Middle
Eastern people, and Asians. The
only thing that 1 can project to
them is the facts that occurred in
history. I can motivate them to
become diverse individuals; by
having them work with each other
in groups.
Hopefully, there will be more
people that are not monitories
who are mentally fighting for
students to respect each other and
love one another, but the difficulty
about this solution or proposal is
that people arc not forced to be
fair and equal, even though each
occupation states clearly that
being racist is foul play.

The shuttle solution
M°"k"
for its editorial policy and content.
Te've got issues
KELSEY HOFF
Hoff0013@uwp.edu
The University of
Wisconsin- Parkside's shuttle
bus is now twelve years old, has
about 130,000 miles on it, and has
recently needed costly repairs,
including engine and suspension
work and a cracked axle. Interim
Chief of Police, James P. Heller,
came before the Student Life
Committee (SLC) to present these
issues and ask how they wanted
to respond.
The main questions raised
concerned whether the bus service
should be continued, whether the
same route should be used, and
what kind of bus to buy. The SLC
decided that the shuttle service is
definitely worth keeping, shuttling
on campus is more important than
the portion of the route running
to the Racine McDonald's, and
our best option is a compressed
natural gas (CNG)- powered bus,
or possibly an electric bus.
The power options for a
new bus are gas, diesel, CNG,
and electric. Diesel is slightly
more efficient than gas, costing
approximately one dollar cheaper
per gallon. CNG would leave no
carbon footprint, but it would cost
about $23,000 to convert it. There
used to be two gas stations in the
area with a supply of CNG, but
they shut down. Now the closest
one is west of 194 on Highway
20 in Racine, and that is too far
away to depend on for every day.
Electric buses only go forty to fifty
miles on a charge, and right now
the shuttle goes over 100 miles per
day. Most electric buses are also
not intended for a winter climate.
The most plausible option right
now for UW- Parkside is a gas or
diesel powered bus.
Once a new bus is found, UWParkside
has to go through a state
bid process to buy it, which will
take six months to a year. Funds
for the bus have been accruing for
twelve years since the current bus
was bought. This money comes
from parking passes bought by
students, which will go up in cost
next year.
Annual ridership on the
shuttle has gone down from
30,915 in the 2006 to 2007 school
year to 9,657 in 2007 to 2008, and
this year's ridership is projected
to be around 18,000. Only 3-10
people usually take the ride to
Racine, if any at all, but those who
do are "very vocal," said Chief
Heller, saying that they depend
on that run. UW- Parkside used
to pay a bus company in Racine
to shuttle students for free, but
the expense was over $60,000 per
year. The Kenosha bus company
will not let students ride for free,
and their routes do not go in the
direction students would need
them to.
The shuttle no longer makes
a 12:00 run on Fridays, and there
is a one hour break every day. The
twenty passenger
**£
bus is only in use on Tuesdays
and Thursdays, when the school
is most crowded, and a van is
used on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday.
Chief Heller advises students
to park at Tallent Hall and ride
the shuttle to relieve crowded
parking, and more students using
the shuttle will guarantee them
more say in choices concerning
the bus. The school will not
acknowledge a parking problem
until that lot fills up. One possible
option is to fix up and make use of
the "east lot," a parking lot bigger
than the Student Center lot, which
lies behind Tallent Hall. The lot
is in bad condition, with weeds
growing through the pavement
and no lighting. The university's
original plan was to have "remote
parking" and shuttle students to
the main campus.
Auxiliary sweep to boost financial ai
JO KIRST
jo@therangernews.com
In an effort to offset the
potential increase in tuition,
Governor Jim Doyle's budget
proposes a new approach to
funding financial aid in the
University of Wisconsin
System and the Higher
Education Aids Board. The
Higher Education Aids Board
would receive $25 million for
need-based student aid.
To produce this money,
an "auxiliary sweep" has been
suggested. At the University
of Wisconsin-Parkside, an
auxiliary ranges from parking
to the Child Care Center, and it
also includes the Student Center
and Residence Life.
Where Parkside's share of
the $25 million will come from
has not quite been determined;
however, the balance for each
auxiliary will be looked at and
assessed, according to Steve
McLaughlin, Dean of Students.
Parkside will be affected
by the sweep, because money
that will be put toward financial
aid won't be sitting in an
account generating interest.
Additionally, the funds will not
be available to offset the costs
associated with construction,
remodeling, or replacing and
repairing equipment.
The contributors come
from across the UW System, but
the University of Wisconsin-La
Crosse will be hit the hardest,
with an auxiliary sweep of
$5.3 million. Parkside will
only be expected to contribute
approximately $500,000, with
UW-Superior throwing in only
$5,250.
The determining factor in
who contributes what is based
on how much a campus has in
oash reserves. In other words,
"the biggest contributor would
be the campus with the largest
reserves", said McLaughlin.
The sweep will affect
the entire system. Because of
this sweep, each campus will
have fewer funds available for
projects, emergency repairs,
etc. P"
On March 25 and March
26, Chancellor Lane Earns
has scheduled open forums to
discuss this and other issues
related to the budget cuts.
Wednesday's forum will begin
at 3:00pm, and Thursday's
forum will begin at 12:30pm.
Both forums will be held in the
Student Center Ballroom.

Spring break is finally ovei
Yay! Okay, maybe not "yay", bt
it is nice to be back. I admit, I wa
getting kind of restless toward
the end of the week. I was als
getting anxious that we wouldn
have enough stuff for an issu
(again), but thankfully everyon
came through in the end.
While another issue i
awesome, we are in sue]
desperate need of writers that it'
getting a little ridiculous. I don't
know what it is that changed
from this time last year, but we
have next to no staff compared to
last spring. It's definitely shown,
too, in the number of pages we
produce per issue. Quantity isn't
everything, but it'd be nice to get
back to 12 pages on a weekly
basis. I would say "perhaps next
semester", but next semester
we'll have moved to online
publishing!
I'm pleased that we're
keeping up with our goal of at
least three news stories per week.
Sometimes it's harder than one
might think, but we do our best.
If we can finish this semester on
a strong, positive note, with the
last bunch of issues having a lot
of news content, I will be happy
and consider the goal achieved.
I think we'll leave it at that
for this week. I encourage you
(like, REALLY encourage you!)
to come join us if you have strong
writing skills and enjoy writing.
The more writers we have, the
better we can be! Enjoy the issue
and we'll see you next week.

T h e SUFAC Bu d g e t h a s n o t
been stable for the last couple of
years. The budget has constantly
been increasing like any other
tee. These fees were raised
partially to pay for the Student
Center construction and because
of inflation.
The SUF Budget, otherwise
known as the Segregated
University Fee, is a student
fee set for and by the students
in aiding financial assistance
for clubs, organizations, and
departments. A student's fee
depends on the magnitude of
enrollment here at the University
of Wisconsin-Parkside. If the
enrollment increases, a student's
fee decreases. This budget
changes every year because of
necessities based on decisions of
those in SUFAC, the Segregated
University Fee Allocation
Committee.
"The SUFAC budget gives
students the opportunity to see a
small component in the overall
functions of this institution,"
according to Carly-Anne
Ravnikar, the SUFAC Director of
the Parkside Student Government,
"and to have some impact in its
growth and development." She
believes that this year's committee
made every effort to keep student
fees at a reasonable cost, while
jnaintaining the funding that they
provide.
Not only does this budget rely
on the enrollment of students, but
students also have the primary
responsibility for the funds
through a process of the Parkside
Student Government, according
to Ravnikar. Parkside Student
Government elects and appoints
students to the committee.
Student Activities, on behalf of
PSG, oversee the daily use of
Segregated Fees (also known
as "Seg Fees"). The Director
organizes the committee who sets
the initial recommendation for
the budget, which is voted 6n by
the student government senate,
approved by the PSG President,
sent to the Chancellor for
approval, and eventuality makes
its way to the Board of Regents.
There are state guidelines for
the allocation and expenditure
of Seg Fees, but SUFAC also
constructs bylaws and guidelines
appropriate for UW-Parkside. The
organizations and departments
are in charge of putting together
and administering their part of the
budget.
This budget assists in providing
childcare services, health services
(free to low cost), educational,
and multiple other requisites
for the students' daily needs.
More information about Student
Segregated Fees can be found
online. More information about
PSG can be found on the UWParkside
website.

Traditionally, two recipients have
been designated each year by a
committee made up of faculty, staff,
and students. In 1975. the campus'
second Chancellor, Alan Guskin,
made this a campus Distinguished
Service Award for Teaching
Excellence. Later, during the 1984-
1985 academic year, it became the
Stella C. Gray/Alumni Association
Distinguished Teaching award, in
part to honor Stella Gray, an
extraordinary teacher who was the
first recipient 0/ our award in 1969.
In 1990, it became the Stella C. Gray
Teaching Excellence Award.

1 am something of a snob
when it comes to Harry Dresden.
That isn't to say that I hated the
television series, I just wish they
would have called something
else. Anything else, in fact, other
than The Dresden Files. It was
with some trepidation, then, that
I approached the latest adaptation
of the first novel, Storm Front,
into a graphic novel from Dabel
Brothers. I was prepared for large
chunks of story to be missing,
but I was also excited to see one
of my favorite novels rendered
visually. Where I ended up was
somewhere squarely between
misery and satisfaction.
1 know. That seems like
such a cop-out. It isn't though,
trust me. There are elements of
the comic book that really nail it
home and bring the words of Jim
Butcher to life. Still, there are
some that make me want to pull
my hair out. Frankly, I haven't
been this torn since sophomore
year when I had to decide which
girl to take to prom. Storm Front
grabs its audience because Harry
Dresden is ultimately an everyman,
and we can identify with
something very real in him. We
don't need to wade through a
metric ton of terminology, and
butcher is careful to describe a
hero who is more Peter Parker
than Wolverine. Somehow^ that
gets lost in this project.
It isn't just Harry who
seems to be simplified into a bad
stereotype, Bob and Murphy are
more like caricatures here too.
The Harry Dresden of the comics
is more of a sel f-aware badass than
he ever has been in the novels,
and though the story follows
the same plot, point for point,
it. feels like watching a poorly
acted remake of a classic film.
This may be more the fault of the
medium than any other element.
Butcher, after all, is working with
the creators on this comic, and so
has more creative input than on
anything else to date. That said,
they are cramming a 322-page
novel into the space of a fourissue
miniseries. Something's
got to give, and unfortunately,
the characters aren't the only
casualty here.
Adrian Syaf, who's artwork
on another Dabel Brothers book,
Take a Chance, has been excellent,
seems to have gotten stuck on the
idea that these characters are all
in Chicago. Everyone has wide
shoulders and big noses for some
reason, as though they were the
cast of extras from a hitherto
forgotten Humphrey Bogart
movie. Every character has a
perpetual scowl, and this might
be fine for a typical noir setting,
but what many Dresden fans love
about the characters, 1 think, is
that they aren't noir stereotypes.
The fact is, Butcher's characters
all love life to the fullest, and
the world around them is what's
dark, while they stand as beacons
of happiness and hope. This
is why Dresden always seems
to have a witty retort or pithy
comeback. It's hard to sell
those to an audience when it is
delivered with a dour express of
gloom every single time.
Beyond that, however, I
felt that the book was a good
representation of what Jim
Butcher's books have to offer. It
is like an appetizer of sorts, where
your appetite will be whetted, but
you can't be expected to sustain
on this alone. I would offer this
book up to anyone hesitant to
read a new series, as it lays a lot
of the groundwork
of the series. It
has its moments,
but that seems to
be because they
exist in the novel
first and foremost,
and longtime fans
of the series will
get little bang for
their buck. Pick
it up if you're
a collector or a
completist, but if
you're strictly a
fan of the books
and couldn't
abide by the Sci-
Fi Channel series,
save your dough
for the next novel.

Alex Proyas is one strange
director. He has a propensity
to make dystopian cinema
that revels in the dark side of
humanity. From the fires of The
Crow to the technological terror
of I, Robot, Proyas has given
us visions of a future that differ
from our own only in the degree
to which we've screwed up our
world. Typically, his films end
with the hero defeating the larger
menace behind our suffering
through perseverance, heroically
outsmarting the villain at the last
minute. This time, however,
Proyas has tried a different
approach.
1 here is no villain in
Knowing, per se, unless you
count the convoluted plot.
Nicholas Cage plays an MIT
professor who, by sheer chance,
winds up in possession of a
series of numbers written fifty
years prior by a young girl. By
total luck, he discovers that the
numbers correspond to disasters
around the world over the last
fifty years. The last couple of
sequences seem to denote future
events that, coincidently. are
set to occur within easy driving
distance of him. Getting the
picture yet? Each scene in the
film unfolds like this, and the
acting doesn't help.
Nicholas Cage may be an
Oscar winner, but his acting is
typically hit or miss. 1 think that
this is one of those misses. His
character is supposed to be a
loving, emotional father who has
only recently become a widower.
In order to cover for Cage's
emotional distance, Proyas sticks
a bottle in his hands in every
other shot, a la Leaving Las
Vegas. He never seems drunk,
mind you, so we must assume
that it is there simply to convey
why his lines sound like they're
being delivered by a robot. The
supporting cast isn't much better,
with the two adult females in the
cast (real life best friends Rose
Byrne and Nadia Townsend)
trying desperately to cover their
native Australian accents. The
children in the cast, sadly, out act
everyone around them, and only
just barely.
As if the coincidences
weren't enough, Proyas has
a problem selling us on the
spookiness of the messengers
that start showing up to whisper
thoughts into the children's heads.
Sure, they wear long black coats
and look like albino extras from
a Buffy episode, but they seem
to be the only characters who
might have answers. Not that
they actually offer any of those

Jim Butcher has been at this
a while. His star character. Harry
Dresden, has been running around
Chicago solving mysteries on
television, in comics, and in the
flagship book series tor almost
a decade now. Over the course
of the first ten books. Butcher
has developed his entire cast, not
just Dresden, and given readers
a solid whodunit every time. In
the background of each novel in
the series is a grand metaplot.
however, just as lull of intrigue
and mystery as each novel,
but each installment so far has
offered only a snippet of what
was going on. Until now.
Almost as a reward for
reading those first ten volumes.
Butcher s latest Dresden no'vel,
Turn Com. finally coughs up
some answers, sort of. The main
P'ot of this novel revolves around
a traditional murder mystery
Irame-job. Harry's; long-time
Nemesis, the Warden Morgan,
winds up at his doorstep battered
and professing innocence to a
crime Hairy hasn't been informed
of yet- As happens with Harry
Dresden, everything goes south
with a quickness. Be warned
folks, here there be spoilers.
After picking up
medical supplies for the fallen
Morgan. Harry is attacked by a
Native American Skinwalker.
The monster is the stuff of legend,
and kills one of Harry's longtime
allies. It is immediately
apparent that Hairy is more
outmatched than ever, and that
someone behind the scenes is
[lulling out the big guns'to keep
a secret. That secret is plainly
the identity of the traitor on the
Wizard White Council, a fact
we've been building up to for a
while. Of course, no one wants
to believe it because the easier
answer is, well, easier. In the
words of Maxwell Scott, "When
the legend becomes fact, print
the legend". The world wants to
cover it up, damn Morgan, and
build trust and peace on the fact
that the killer was caught and
punished so quickly, even if it
means killing an innocent man.
That said, Harry is a
stickler lor the truth, no matter
how damning it may be. He
figures out the clues, tracks
down the baddies, and sets up a
final showdown on a mysterious
island. Butcher has managed to
grow as a writer over the course
ol this series, and as such, there
are no easy answers or solutions
in this novel, but there are
resolutions. Often, when dealing
with metaplot concerns, much
of the subtlety a writer has goes
to the curb. Not so with the true
masters, and Jim Butcher is a true
master of his craft. The secrets
flow (like why the White Council
didn't like his mom), and we find
resolutions to story concerns
dating all the way back to the
first book. Storm Front. Morgan,
the Werewolves, and even Toot,
all get updates and develop as
characters. Oh. there is plenty of
new mystery and action in Turn
Coat. to be sure, but it is all in
service to a larger story.
That isn't to say that
readers new to the series won't
find something to latch on to.
Butcher's wit is as sharp as
ever, and the last two hundred
pages had me reading until
dawn. Butcher's talent is such
that he had me wrapped around
his finger, racing to see how the
mess turned out, and disrupted
my expectations flawlessly every
time I thought I knew enough
to solve the crime. Butcher's
references to other pop-culture
elements are so smtxith. it feels
like he wrote them first. In one
magical duel, two heavy hitters
have a shape-changing war that
simultaneously feels viscerally
dangerous while reminding us
of childhood loves like Disney's
Sword in the Stone.
The funny thing about
this novel is that it is only the
halfway point in the series.
Butcher has promised some
twenty-odd books. Yet, this
feels so self>containcd. I have
no qualms recommending it to
first time readers of the series.
Turn Coat is a complete work
of fiction unto itself, much like
The Hohhit. in that it is utterly
enjoyable without knowing the
rest of the author's works. Sure,
there's a lot more to this book
when a reader has all the other
information, but without it, this
volume is still a treat to read.

lot of its success because of it. The
subject of the film, the underground
"nerdcore" hip-hop scene, is still far
enough out on the periphery of the
main stream that it will introduce
many people to the genre. Those
familiar with it already, however,
won't be bored. The film covers
the scene so thoroughly that even
the most ardent forum troll stands
to learn a thing or two about the
men and women who have been
labeled as Nerdcore rappers.
Nerdcore rap, you see, comes
from the back rooms of internet
message /b/oards, the highest
echelons of higher education,
and the stankiest of soapless
conventions across the continent.
The artists are folks like you or 1
who, as part of this culture, watch
comic book movies and late night
cable cartoons. They are the tech
savvy "first adopters" that the main
stream media always talks abotrtf
but seldom identifies. Some, like
MC Plus+, are working on computer
science PhD's. More often, they
are just people who have combined
a talent and passion for hip-hop
with their personal proclivities for
video games, Japanese anime, and
Star Wars. Most importantly, these
artists all have talent as rappers first
and foremost.
Nerdcore does its damndest to
present its namesake as just another
type of rap. The film goes into
details about various beefs between
the artists, for example, but it n ever
forgets that it is talking about a
subculture that reveres knowledge
over brute force and tech-savvy
over sex appeal. Thankfully, it also
remembers that the audience may
not be as aware of the culture, and
SiTavcfids'too many in-references
and any leet-speak. One device
it uses to great effect is the main
search page of Google, familiar
to even the most technologically
illiterate, in place of title cards. The
film, overall, grabs your attention,
peppers it with selections of music
from the genre, and shows that
so-called nerds can rap as well as
anyone else.
If the film has a failing point
at all, its in its condemnation of the
main stream while simultaneously
trying to appeal to it as well.
Admittedly, this is a problem that is
as much a part of the genre itself.
Some artists like MC Chris, while
fond of rapping about video games
and comic books, feel that there is
a stigma attached to the moniker of
"nerd" and have rejected it. These
artists want to be acknowledged as
rappers first, and nerds second, if at
all. Given this turmoil from within,
its no wonder the film struggles
with, and against, a mainstream
media that has yet to embrace
the fact that most of our popular
culture derives from nerd and dork
origins. After all, if there's one
group media outlets like Wired and
Newsweek can still stereotype and
marginalize without fear of reprisal,
it's nerds and dorks. Nerdcore for
Life is currently screening at film
festivals around the world, and you
can find more information at hup://
nerdcore for Ii fc. com/.

Hip-hop is great medium
for the marginalized. The
downtrodden masses of society get
to have their say and,, when done
well, it is set to some sick beats.
The various permutations of hiphop
over the years have catered
to various minorities and given
(' voice to the seldom-heard in our
cultural dialogue. These days, it's
i hard to find a person who hasn't
heard of Jay-Z or Lupe Fiasco,
and wordsmiths like MC Chris

All-American track stars
ROB HANSEN

The University of Wisconsin-
Parkside track team sent four
women to the University of
Houston, in Houston, Texas last
weekend, March 10th - 14th. The
fout women, Jessica Monson,
Heidi Ertl, Hope Christie and
Brittany Glassburn, netted five
Ail-American-awards. The four
women comprised the seventh
place distance medley relay
team.
Sophomore, Heidi Ertl, led
off the relay with a 3:$1 1200-m
leg. She handed the baton off to
sophomore, Brittany Glassburn,
who split 62.0 during the 400-m
portion of the relay. Glassburn
handed the baton to freshmen,
Hope Christie. Christie split a
season best 2:19 and handed
anchor leg, senior, Jessica
Monson, while in tenth place.
The relay needed to pick up
two positions and get into 8th
place to earn their Ail-American
award. Soon after the handoff,
the . Monson ran the duration
of the race with the lead pack,
which inched their way through
lapped traffic, pulling Monson
along with them. With 3 laps
remaining, Parkside moved
into 9th place. A half a lap later,
Monson blew past the 8th place
Millersville University relay,
and put her relay in position for
All-American status. Monson
was able to out lean one more
team and help capture a 7th
place finish and a total time of
11:59.11, the second fastest time
these four young ladies ran as a
unit. Monson's split was equal to
her lifetime best 4:46.
Prior to the.distance medley,
Monson competed in the 1-mile
run preliminary round. She
finished second in her heat and
automatically qualified for finals
with a time of 4:55.61. In finals
she found herself in good position
from the early going. She moved
into the 5th position in the early
going, and despite intense, shin
pains, she muscled her way
into the fourth position with
400 meters remaining. Monson
made her move a little early, but
found herself crossing the line in
4:49.24, good for fourth place.
The men's and women's
track teams will be competing at
Augustana College this weekend,
before heading off to North
Caroline State University for the
Raleigh Relays on March 26th -
28th.
Parkside wrestlers
excel nationally
ROB HANSEN
Hanse082@uwp.edu
The University of Wisconsin-
Parkside men's wrestling team
found lots of success in Houston,
Texas last weekend, March 12th -
15th. Six members of the wrestling
team, Cody Zimmerman (1251bs),
Craig Becker (1491bs), Corey Van
Groll (1651bs), Malcolm Briggs
(1971bs), Luke Ry nish (1741bs), and
Luke Haag (184 lbs), represented
UW-Parkside on the nation scene.
Three of the men, Becker, Van Groll
and Briggs, each won All-American
honors. The Rangers finished 12th
as a team after remaining unranked
throughout the majority of the
season.
Becker and Van Groll each
bagged a 4th place finish, dropping
their final matches, competing for
the third place crown. Becker lost
his first match of the year to Chris
Frejie, of Western State, by pinfall
in 1:42. This first loss sent him to
the third place match, where Esai
Dominguesz, of Nebraska-Omaha,
defeated him 6-4. Van Groll fought
through five matches, three of
which he won. His third-place
matchup pitted him against Tad
Merritt of St. Cloud St. University.
Merritt won by decision, 9-2.
Briggs lost by pinfall in 3:41
to Luke McPeck of New Mexico
Highlands. He battled his way
back to defeat Matt Nelson of
Minnesota State - Moorehead by
14-4 decision. He lost his last two
matchups, including his seventh
place match to Tyler Copsey, of
Augustana, by default. Zimmerman,
Rynish and Haag all saw early
exits from the tournament, and,
although disappointing, it should
be noted that simply qualifying for
the NCAA II meet is an amazing
accomplishment.
The Ranger wrestler's season
has finished on a high note.
They begin competition again in
November. Congratulations to each
of the national qualifiers, and the
entire team, on another successful
season.

I would like to first
acknowledge the wonderful job
that was done constructing the

question a state-of-the-art-facility.
High praise should go to the
minds that developed the concept,
as well as the laborers who put in
many long hours and worked very
hcird to make it happen.
Unfortunately, there is a
bitter-sweet feeling I get every
time I walk through this recent
addition to our school. That
feeling is one of disgust that
the cafeteria prices are so high.
1 here have been many instances
when I wanted to grab a bite to
eat and mingle with my peers,
but the outrageous prices have
kept me from doing so. Don't
get me wrong, there have been
times, when my hunger dictated,
that I broke down and paid for
something to eat. The quality
and portions of the food are substandard,
but I won't complain
about that too much. After all,
there s not much deception. You
can see what you're getting before
you pay for it. An exception is the
salad bar, where a student or staff
member must pay by the ounce. I
made this mistake only once. After
shelling out over eight dollars -
and that didn't include my drink

I had paid for the weight of my

Of what use is elastic money?
RYANASHTON
ashtoOO l@uwp.edu
Humans, more than any
other species on the planet, are
rational creatures. Much of our
progress in our lives depends our
ability to think and make logical
connections between events.
Many, if not all of the benefits
of scientific discovery have
sprung forth from the human
ability to connect specific causes
to specific effects. Knowing
how natural systems work in the
world, humans have been able
to predict and anticipate what
effects would follow from which
causes, and thus have managed
to avoid unwanted dangers and
create wanted conveniences in
their lives. One key feature that
has made all of this progress
possible has been the apparent
consistency and objectivity of the
natural world—that is, the laws
of nature appear to always remain
constant without deviating even
the slightest bit (well, at least until
you consider quantum mechanics,
which is unusually erratic and
unpredictable compared to
classical physics).
It stands to reason that the
scientific progress humans have
made in recent centuries would
not have been possible if the laws
of nature were found to be erratic
and constantly changing from
one moment to the next. If bricks
were sturdy and solid one day—fit
to build shelters with—it would
be devastating to the person using
the shelter to find those bricks
turn to liquid mush the next day.
Or if gravity were to behave in
unpredictable ways, throwing
objects upward or outward on
random occasions, how would
humans be able to function
productively in such a world?
It seems pretty obvious that
humans have a far better chance
of adapting to their environments
in productive and constructive
ways when they are confronted
with objectively consistent rules
or laws rather than whimsical,
amorphous systems that function
without rhyme or reason. If this
is so, then why would we ever
want our money system to be
anything other than objective and
consistent?
Unfortunately, the leaders of
our financial system have decided
(at least since we abandoned the
gold standard under President
Nixon in the late 1960s) against
preserving an objective and
consistent money supply in the
U.S. The money that we save and
rely on to purchase essential goods
-and services in our economy
is not considered objective by
our financial leaders, and last
week held a shining example of
how drastically the rules of our
financial market can change.
Last week, the Federal Reserve
announced that it would basically
go forward with the printing of at
least one trillion dollars in another
emergency effort to catapult our
economy into a recovery. By
printing this money, the Federal
Reserve is essentially creating
one trillion dollars out of thin air,
thus augmenting the total size of
our money supply. As a result
of this, the money that you and
1 o wn is basically devalued and
will no longer be worth as much
as it was when we earned it—that
is to say, the money we own
loses purchasing power when
the Federal Reserve increases the
money supply. And, the more
they print, the more our money is
devalued.
For those of us who were
perhaps saving money for an
extended period of time to pay
for something major in the future,
our ability to make the payments
we intended will now be
compromised by this change in the
money system. When our money
is devalued, it takes more units of
money to make purchases. But if
you do not know in advance how
the money system will change at
any given time, it makes it nearly
impossible to accurately judge
how much money you will need to
save. This is especially important
for those nearing retirement or
who are in retirement already.
What once might have lasted a
person 20 years may, at any time,
only last 12 or 15 since the money
supply is neither objective nor
consistent.
When we compare the
progress humans have had
in the areas such as scientific
discovery, we can appreciate
that the objectivity found in
natural systems has been useful;
there's a good fit between the
rationality of the human mind
and the objectivity of the human
environment. Based on this
reasoning, it is most unfortunate
that our financial leaders have
sought to undermine our attempts
to predict and rely on a consistent
monetary system. It is difficult to
see how an elastic money system
can work to the benefit of rational
creatures such as you and me.
the food service to Parkside,

at this school they have all been
friendly and courteous. I would
especially like to express my
sincerest thanks to Liz, whose
last name I do not know. She is
a long-time Aramark employee
who is kind, caring and very hardworking.
I know it's stressful
having to meet the many demands
of college kids, especially during
breakfast when you have to deal
with, among other things, making
eggs and omlettes.
For students who live on
campus, there is the option of
having a meal plan that cuts
the cost of each meal in half. I
suppose they have less reason to
complain. However, commuters
such as myself don't have this
option. We are forced to pay full
price. I generally pack my own
lunches, but it would be nice, on
those days when I don't, when
I could get something to eat at
the cafeteria without paying so
much.

Why are we surprised that
after the government started

tax dollars to some huge
companies that were in danger of

go back to business as usual and
hand out in bonuses to employees
more than some people make in
two, or hell, even five years on

telling me that these corporate
people want to get huge piles
of money at someone else's
expense? I mean, I know I am not
an economist, but this whole AIG
thing did not come as much of a
shocker to me. I am still failing to
find a reason why we did not let
these companies implode.

survive? Offer a good product
at reasonable prices and treat
your employees responsibly, or at
least I guess that is what it should
be like in a nice happy perfect
world. Nevertheless, the world
is not perfect, and that means
we are just going to have to deal
with companies doing whatever
they can get away with to make
as much money as possible for
as little effort as possible. Not a
huge surprise really. You could
almost say that it has been the
American way for as long as one
can remember. Something else I
would like to know is, how did
the government not know what
some of these corporations like
AIG where going to do with the
money once they got it?
Again, I must admit I am not
an expert in this field so please
excuse my ignorance, but it truly
be believed that no one knew
what all that money was going to
be spent on? Moreover, if so, why
in God's name are we writing
blank checks to the irresponsible
business people that helped run
our economy into the ground?
President Obama gave a
very powerful speech about the
bonuses going out and a million
other things. What I did not hear
him say wds, "Hey, who dropped
the ball on this and let these guys
get away with it?" I agree that we
need to hang some of these greedy
types out to dryb, ut I also think we
need to dig into the government
and see who is making these
decisions that lead to this kind of
turmoil. I'm sorry but I just don't
think it is prudent for people to be
making legislation about banks
and companies and huge world
shaking piles of money unless
they are trained super intelligent
men and women whose sole
purpose in life is to deal with the
economy and its effects on this
nation and the world.
Maybe we have gotten to big
for our own good, our fingers in
to many pies and now it is coming
back to haunt us. I ca nnot tell if
we need more regulation or less
on business, or if these bonuses
are right or not. What I ca n tell is
that if something does not happen
soon to balance out not just the
economy, but also the power
struggle between business and
government, something a whole
hell of a lot worse could crawl
out of this mess and I am not just
talking another great depression. too WORDS

More or Less
That nostalgic musk about in
the wind.
Sure sign that spring and
summer arc ahead.
Warm breezes brush gently
against the skin.
I he faint sunlight is
everything but dead.

ROBERT ROSATI

For the past several months,
there was bickering between
democrats and republicans in
federal legislature regarding
Wisconsin's biennial state
budget forum for 2007 to 2009.
If
an
agreement by both sides
could
DOt
be reached soon,
governorJim Doyle threatened
toclose
all
the schools within
theUW-System, including
UW-Parkside, for the upcoming
UW-System survives budget crisis
spring semester. However, on
Tuesday, October 23, Governor
Doyle approved a state budget
proposal. Of the 52 Assembly
Republicans, only 23 voted
in
favor of the budget; however,
all 18 of the Senate democrats
voted to pass the budget. The
bipartisan vote passed the bndget
by a margin of
60
to
39
by
republicans and a 18 to 15 vote
by
democrats in the Senate.
The budget for the state
over the next two years is set at
$57.2 billion. There is going to
be more than $525 million for
public schools, as well as $21
million for every university in
the UW-system for financial aid
and grants for students. With
the state budget passing, there
are many implications, but one
of the most pressing issues for
students is how financial aid will
be affected. Financial aid
will
be
disbursed next week to students.
There are more than 5,700
students who are on the waiting
list for a Wisconsin Higher
Education Grant (WHEO). The
WHEG awards can be worth as
much as $2,700 for this
school
year per student. The budget will
raise funding for WHEG by $26
million over the next two years.
Additionally, the Wisconsin
Covenant was created as a result
of the state budget passing. The
Wisconsin Covenant guarantees
financial assistance to students
across the state who graduate
from high school and have good
grades. BadgerCare, which gives
low-cost health insurance to
low-income families across the
state. has also been expanded
to allow all kids who live in
Wisconsin to
be
covered by
insurance regardless of their
family's financial situation. and
lets people who live
in
low-
income households to purchase
BadgerCare for the first time
ever.
The new budget places
limits on the increases on
property taxes that the counties,
villages. towns, and cities can
levy for the next two years.
Furthermore, there are $200
million being cut from various
state agencies through 2009.
The State Medical Society of
Wisconsin vowed to file a lawsuit
against the transfer of $200
million from the state's fund for
paying claims of malpractice.
Doyle said that the transfer is
perfectly legal.
The law states that state
governments can operate
at
levels at which it has
in
the past
until
a
new
budget
agreement
could be reached; however.
Doyle claimed that a shut down
of all UW-universities might
have had to occur in order to
assure that only essential services
within the state were set aside.
The logic behind the threat of
the governor. in his mind, was
that
because
it was entirely
possible for the UW-System to
go bankrupt in the middle of the
upcoming semester. it would
be irresponsible to have the
universities in session during the
spring.

AMessage of Equality and Hope
Judy Shepard speaks on campus
"Thisis not a gay thing, this
is a hate thing."
Mrs. Shepard
Ramon A. Jaimez,
jaimeOOl@uwp.edu
Speaking to a crowd of
over five hundred students,
faculty, staff, and community
Illembers, JUdy Shepard brought
hermessage of equality to
UW-Parkside's Upper Main
Place OnMonday, Oct. 22.
JUdyShepard is tbe mother of
Matthew Shepard, a young man
Whowas robbed, beaten, and
leftto die on fence in Laramie.
Wyoming in 1998; he was
targeted specifically because he
was guy, Shepard now speaks
out azainst hate crimes and to
prom~te equality. Aside
fro~
the
individuals present, Shepard s
appearance also drew the
attention of the Kenosha News,
the Racine Journal Times, the
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel,
as well as live coverage from
Milwaukee's TV station WTMJ-
4.
Shepard's appearance on
campus was made possible
through the contributions of .
many different groups IOclu~g
Student Health and Counseling
Services, Student Activities.
Parkside
Student
Government
Association, Rainbow Alliance,
and the Sociology
and
Theatre
Arts
Departments.
All
proceeds
from
the
nights event have
gone to the Matthew Shepard
Foundation, a group founded by
Mathew's parents as an effort to
raise awareness, and the most
fitting memorial they could think
of for their son.
After an
introduction by
Rainbow Alliance's President.
Dayvin Hallman, a video
produced by the Matthew
Shepard Foundation called
attention to Matthew's death,
as well as that of James Byrd.
Jr who was also killed in 1998
in·Jasper, Texas when he
was
beaten, chained to the back of a
truck, and dragged three miles.
Byrd's attackers were white
supremacists carrying
out an
attack on
an
African-American
A
standing ovation greeted
Sbepard just after 7 p.m. She
thanked the crowd which
had, "given up Monday Night
Football" to see her speak. She
began
by reminding
the
c~o\Vd
that, "This is not a gay thing,
this is a hate thing." Shepard
proceeded then with reciting
the Victim Impact Statement
she had given at the trial
of
her

Segregated University Fee
Allocations Committee
revises bylaws
KAITLYN M. ULMER
UlmerOOO@uwp.edu
The Segregated University
Fee Allocations Committee
(SUFAC) voted last week to
revise a portion of their bylaws
in order to clarify issues of bias.
SUFAC determines the way
in which
student
segregated
fees are allocated to programs
and activities that promote the
interests
of the
student body.
All students pay segregated
fees and those fees go toward
funding major status student
organizations. as well as other
programs such
as
athletics.
The portion of the bylaws
in question addresses whether
students on SUFAC can
participate
in
the discussion
and
voting on
an
organization to
which
they
claim
membership.
If
a student votes to approve
the budget for
an
organization,
and he is a member of that
organization, there may exist
some level of bias
in
his
decision. Prior to revision,
the
portion of the bylaws read as
"Come get that good copy!"
follows:
"Members of the SUFAC
who are also members or
advisors of SUFAC funded
Organizati ns, or were such
during the last academic
year.
must abstain from involvement
in discussion.
An
individual
must
leave the room for the SUFAC
discussion and voting discussion
jf
he
or she
is
receiving
a
stipend
from
that organization
r
department. Senators
are exempt
from this rule when in regards
to Parks ide Student Govcmmem
Association lPSGA]."
The issue
was
raised
by Carly-Anne Ravniknr.
SUFAC member and PSGA
senator. that SUFAC needs to
"more accurately define and
acknowledge biases." This
included discussing what the
definition of "member" is in the
context of the SUFAC bylaws.
Ravnikar brought this up as a
topic of discussion in the weekly
SUFAC meeting on Tuesday,
Oct.
23.
Ravnikar said that the
SUFAC members are members
of PSGA, so it is unfair that

One of the challenges of writing the news is staying on top of the news and staying
timely. This week, we decided to
try
and cover the state budget and all of the Issues
and controversy surrounding it. At the start of the week, the budget was still on hold,
and Governor Doyle was making threats of closing down th~ UW~system or at least
significantly raising tuition. A group of students,
ID
conjunction WIth United Council,
planned to rally and protest on the State steps in Madison on Wednesday, Oct. 24.
However that rally was cancelled when the state budget seemed to finally be
making some 'progress. In fact, on Tuesday the budget was passed and come Friday,
Doyle signed off on it. News changes really fast, and we sometimes struggle to keep up
with it. That was the case this week.
Our news page editor was trying to write his article for our Thursday deadline, and
on
Saturday,
when he came in to edit,
J
told him he would need to rewrite it. Of course,
he wasn't very happy that he had to spend several hours revising the article, but it was
an obvious necessity. We do not want to run old and outdated news in our newspaper.
Personally,
J
am very glad that
the
budget passed.
J
am sure that there are many
other students that agree. Doyle's threat that the school could be shut down in spring,
even if it was an empty threat, terrified me because
I
am only one semester away from
graduation. Also, the threat of tuition increases by
as
much as $800 next semester
greatly alarmed me. As it is.
J
am already having a hard time earning enough money to
pay for my tuition, much less fund
a
huge tuition increase.
J
am glad that we can bring students some good news, rather than the doom-and-
gloom news
I
thought
we
would have to report earlier this week. At the same time,
I
encourage our readers to let us know the news, as soon as you find out. The Ranger
News staff is just a small percentage of the student population here at the University
of Wisconsin _ Parks ide and it is nearly impossible for us to keep up with all the news,
especially with how fast it moves.
In case you have not noticed, we spend most of our
time
on computers sitting at
desks, so we cannot always run fast enough to catch the news. Or maybe I am the only
one who is completely athletically deficient. There are reasons why I am not an athlete.

and
on

when
he
came
in

I
told

he
would

Of

he
wasn't

that

I

Second annual Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming
The National Wildlife
Federation's Campus Ecology
program is sponsoring the second
annual Chill Out: Campus
Solutions to Global Warming
competition. This competition
will
identify and reward colleges'
efforts and creative activities
to reduce their contribution to
global warming pollution. Efforts
include programs addressing
clean energy, energy efficiency,
alternative transportation, and
habitat restoration. Schools are
eligible to win grant funding as
well as a feature in Chill Out:
Campus Solutions to Global
Warming, nationwide multimedia
broadcasting on April 16, 2008,
hosted by George Washington
University in Washington DC.
There are two ways for schools
to enter the contest. Schools can
describe in 500 words or less
what their college or university
is now doing to help solve the
global warming crisis, or create a
3-roinute video about their efforts
and upload it onto www.youtube.
com. The deadline to enter the
contest is November 30, 2007.
Newest UWP- TV video released
Two weeks ago UWP-
TV uploaded a new edition of
UWP-TV online. UWP-TV can
be viewed at httpJ/youtube.
com/nser/uwptv. UWP- TV began
at the beginning of this semester.
The previous edition of UWP-
TV featured Chancellor Keating
addressing new students, and
interviews with members of
The Ranger News and Parkside
Student Government Association.
The most recent edition of
UWP-TV features reporters
interviewing members of'.,
Rainbow.Alliance at the Student
Organization Fair and lnsieme
Italia for Italian Heritage Month.
corrections
Dear Fellow Students,
Rainbow Alliance wishes to express its dismay at the usage of the words "sexual preference" that were
written
in
last weeks article about National Coming Out Day. Instead of writing "sexual preference" the
words "sexual identity" and "sexual orientation" should have been used. The words "sexual preference"
imply that individuals or groups nf people are not born LGBTQ but simply chose to be that way.
Rainbow Alliance would like to remind everyone that NO ONE chooses to be gay, lesbian, bisexual,
transgender, queer, intersex, or same gender loving they simply are LGBTQIS. People who need clarity
in this matter are encouraged to come to the Rainbow Alliance office in the library on the second floor
room 283 or call our office (262) 595-2685.
Thank you,
Dayvin Hallman
Rainbow Alliance President

Barn burns down
After
Judy
Shepard
A
lire
destroyed a barn on the University of Wisconsin - Parkside campus the night of OcL 25. There
is no word of injuries, but there was significant damage to the barn. The barn contained propane
tanks and fertilizer, as well as equipment for the cross-country team. At the tinle of printing, the UW-
Parks ide
campus police would
release
no additional information about the incident.
A Message of Equality and Hope,
continued from front page
son's murderers. Afterwards
she went on to address the many
issues that the country faces in
achieving.equality for all of its
citizens, including the proposed
federal bill ENDA, Employment
Non-Discrimination Act. With
its current wording, ENDA
would protect the rights of
employees regardless of sexual
orientation, but has no provision
for trans gender people. In the
eyes of Judy Shepard, and many
other equal rights activists, an
all-inclusive ENDA is what we
really need.
President Bush was
addressed by Shepard when
she discussed the Matthew
Shepard Act, a federal Hate-
Crime bill. She commented on
the President's open statements
about vetoing any legislation
that includes the term "sexual
orientation." President Bush,
as
well
as many conservatives,
believes homosexuality to be
a choice and so prefer the term
"sexual preference;" the idea of
choosing ones sexual orientation
is a concept patently denied by
the LGBTQISA community.
Judy Shepard also found it
disheartening that even thougb
Vice-President Cheney has an
openly gay daughter, neither
he nor his daughter has taken
advantage of their positions to
push for equality.
.
Other issues raised that
night include the use of words
such as «gay" or «queer"
negatively, thus turning them
into hate speech. Before ending
with a short Q
&
A, Shepard
expressed her belief that the war
was won. Despite the lack of
legal equality, and tbe continued
social stigma associated
with
the LGBTQISA community, she
believes that the next generation
is far more accepting than
those before it and that it is
just a matter of time before full
equality is realized.
RAMON A. JAIMEZ
jaimeOOl@uWP·edu
The days following Judy
Shepard's appearance at UW-
Parks ide have been reflective.
Even though Shepard believes
that equality is a given and that
it will simply take time to be
realized, others are less sure.
The day following Shepard's
appearan.ce, an unsigned
postcard was sent to Theatre
Arts
Department Chair, Dean Yohnk,
in which Matthew Shepard is
referred to as a
freak
and a misfit.
Professor Yobnk believes that the
continued lack of acceptance at
UW-Parkside as represented by
the postcard, "is why we need to
do the play."
Aside from the postcard,
the majority of comments made
to Professor Yohnk have been
positive and supportive. He
himself was thri lied at the
number of people who made it
out to see Mrs. Shepard speak, as
well as the fact that the Parkside
production of The Laramie
Project, the play about Mathew
Shepard written by Moises
Kaufman, already has a number
of sold out shows. Speaking
about the postcard, Professor
Yohnk said that it was a shame
that the author, «didn't have
the courage to sign it," and that
signing it would have had a lot
more impact,
Dayvin Halimon, Rainbow
Alliance's President, was
unable to
D&fCC
with Shepard's
optimism. Though pleased with
the overall turnout
to
the event,
he was concerned about the .
motives of some attendees, as
apparently some professors were
giving students class credit for
attending. Hallmon stated that
there have been other speakers
on campus
with
messages as
important as Judy Shepard's,
but whose speeches received
less attention without the added
incentive of grade-boosting.
Hallmon also went on
to say that the struggle for
someone to
be
who they are can
be very hard, including those
whose families would be less
accepting than the Shepards.
The challenge of living openly is
especially hard for those who are
members of sports teams at
UW·
Parkside and everywhere else;
sports teams are still bastions
of homophobia. The question
of sexuality and race is alsoan
important one. Minorities often
come from cultures that are
strongly against hnmosexuality,
a reason for support groups to
meet their needs, like QPOC,
Queer People of Color.
In the Racine and Kenosha
communites, there are
no
support networks available to
LGBTQISA people. Hallmon
believes that the LGBTQISA
Center planned for UW-Parkside
will become a bastion of support
for UW-Parkside students as
well community members. As
the Rainbow Alliance President
sees
it,
"we have only begun .
to scratch the surface of the
glass ceiling." Hallmon and
Rainbow AlJiance have received
many statements of support just
as Dean Yohnk has, but like
Professor Yohnk, they believe
that equality is still forthcoming
and will not be easily attained
We
now have one less homosexual
freak to spread AIDS
or lure our children into their
perversions.
Busybodies at UW-Parkside, I1ke
Dean Yohnk, should quit
pimping for gays and lesbians and
quit showing gay
propagand like "The Laramie
Project".

RE
The Imaginary Invalid
Nick Connor
Mick2connor@aol.com
If
the opening does not take
you by surprise, you had better
check your pulse. The Imaginary
Invalid by Moliere is a classic
comedy whose jokes are
just as funny today
as they were
in 1674.
For
those of you who are doubtful
about seeing
it
because you
think you will not be able
to understand the dialogue,
think again. The story is
easy for anyone to follow and
also includes more modem
adaptations made by Miles
Malleson that are quick to spot,
quicker to laugh at, and go
without hindering the original
plot. This is certainly something
for anyone who likes to enjoy
themselves.
Argan, played by
junior Theatre Arts major
Philip Zimmermann, is a
hypochondriac, meaning he
thinks he is fatally ill and
constantly cries out for medical
attention. His
daughter.
Angelica, played by junior
Theatre Arts major Robyn
Schneider, finds herself in a
Romeo and Juliet style romance.
The play includes plenty of
classic Shakespearian elements
for diehard theater fans, as well
as two musical interludes to
have you dancing in your seats.
But most of all, this play is
about laugh-aut-loud comedy.
The director, Jamie
Cheatham, lists Moliere's
favorite targets in the playbill,
all characteristics we still see

today: "unscrupulous
lawyers, selfish
parents, upstart
servants, love-struck
youngsters, and, of
course. ridiculous
doctors." No one is
safe from Moliere's
sense of satire,
not even Moliere
himself. Even 333
years later, Moliere's
final play is still able
to leave any audience
in
stiches.
The cast enjoys
the show as much
as
the
audience. Michael Jornlin,
a first year transfer student
who played Argan's intended
son-in- law,
Thomas, learned
a
lot from the director, who helped
him to find his goals. He loved
the color and spectacle of the
stage, and I must say, I agree.
In my opinion, the set looks
like something right

Money Changes Everything
part 2:A further look at how organizations
plan to spend student fees
STORYAND GRA~RS BY PRESTON BROWN
The 2005-2006 budgets for student organizations are currently being
deCided, a decisi~n which effects how :nuch student run organizations can grow,
educateand provide for the Uw-Parkside community. Since Wisconsin state statute
36.09(5) allows students control of a portion of their own funds, the Parkside Student
GovernmentAssociation (PSGA) uses this power to fund student organizations.
Moneyfor these organizations is requested each year in a Student Allocation Fee
committee(SUFAC) hearing. SUFAC is a subcommittee of PSGA, which reports
its recommendationsto the student senate for a tina) vote. Student organizations
areawardedtheir budgets based on their proposals, estimated monetary need, and
potentialto enrich the educational experience in the eyes of the voting PSGA senators.
The followinggraphs are a representation of the four major categories that each
organizationrequested money for. Stipends refer to mone~ given to members as
paymentfor their work. Events. conferences and operational costs are the other major
categories. These basic categories encompass a variety of requests, so if anybody has
funher questions, you can contact the organizations represented at their respective
",(ensions,or The Ranger News at rangemews@uwp.edu for a detailed breakdown.

Master storyteller, also known as the "Verballllusionis"" Tejumolo Ologboni
speaks on February 2 In Upper Main Place.
Celebrating Black Legacy, Oral Tradition,
Social Justice and Youth Empowerment
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR
"You can take the boy out of the
country, but you can't take the country out
of the boy," he said. "And you can take the
African out of Africa. but you can't take
the Africa out of the African."
Tejumola Ologboni lived up to his
pseudonym as the Verbal Illusionist,
carefully embedding facts into his
aphoristic commentary as he played to the
crowd of over fifty students and faculty
gathered in Main Place on February 2.
Part of the Black History Month kickoff,
Ologboni followed presentations by
other speakers-from the UW-Parkside
community. Marin Rocha, Rita Thomas,
Jason Pinkowski, Samantha Collier and
Dayvin M.A. Hallmon responded to the
question "What does Black History Month
mean to me?"
Ologboni broke down everything from
dialect to rhythm, alluding to the current
obstacles still before our society.
"When Black folks say 'jive: it's not
pronounced 1-1-V-E. We pronounce u jaov.
J-A- V," he said.
Ologboni went on to discuss the
ethnological differences in musical
structure. Rhythms of European derivation
have a three-count, he said, whereas
African-styled rhythms go "on the one and
the two."
He also brought the audience back to
civil-rights era Milwaukee.
"When I lived on 14th street." he said,
"if you were black you couldn't go south
of State street. The police would harass
you. They'd say, 'Where you going,
nigger?""
Although the circumstances of racial
discrimination have admittedly changed,
Ologboni made clear that, while things
ntight be 'better,' there are still many
battles for social equity that must be
fought and won.
"No matter what we have done or
what we are ahle to do," Ologboni said,
"We've been standing on the shoulders
of giants. And some of those giants,
we've never even heard of. There are
names that make it to the history books.
But many of them get left out."
He pointed to Ella Baker's
organizing work in the 1930's south as
one of the pivotal contribution to the
civil rights movement.
Turning the audience's attention
to some of the commonly circulated
Eurocentric misconceptions and
mythologies about African culture, he
highlighted the emblematic writing
systems of Ghana and the Zulu
traditions. Though many historically
considered African culture to be
illiterate. Ologboni exposed this as a
convenient, racist fallacy.
In addition, he discussed the
historical role that African oral traditions
have had on medical and technological
advances. from the application of
salicylic acid (crude asprin) in plant
form to smallpox vaccination to the
development of the light bulb filament.
His concluding remarks were no less
inspiring:
..lt's in your hands. The only thing
that's powerful in any society is its
young people. The only thing that old
people like me create are hydrogen
bombs. You know, things of destruction.
Young people are idealists. They create
the changes."

2 The Ranger News February 18, 2005
Letter From The Editor
Dear Readers:
It's funny how looking back over the past issues of The Ranger News brings memories - things our staff
has struggled with and things our staff has improved. As we continue to grow as an organization, we continue to
face new challenges.
The reason I find it so interesting is because it's not always the same challenges we face. In fact, it never
is. Since my time as editor-in-chief of the newspaper, we have constantly been facing challenges. During the past
year we've overcome staff recruitment and retention problems, Jack of productive meetings problems. and relevant
article content problems. That's not to mention many isolated problems that were interweaved throughout the entire
time. Problems equal challenges, and challenges equal opportunities to learn and grow.
At this point, the operating system is well in order for The Ranger News, and our staff is doing a fantastic
job and excelling at what our organization strives to do. But like I said, different challenges continue as time allows
us to grow. And not just for the newspaper, but people who work for it also. Especially myself.
The most recent challenge for myself dealt with our staff reporting names in the Police Beat. I have also
heard many opinions on whether people like that we are providing the names or not. The tricky part for me has been
breaking down the reasons that concern the whole subject of the names.
For the record, I suppose it started with me encouraging our staff to get as much information as possible
for each story - at least covering the who, what, when. where, why. and how. That's reason number one names have
been provided. Various community affiliates have asked me about my ability to edit the names out, simply because I
have the power to. I don't edit them out, because I do not have a reason to do so. If I cannot explain to my staff why
I'm changing something when it comes across my desk, I will not change it. Because I base my actions directly on
reasons, I sometimes find myself challenged by the thoughts and opinions of others.
There are always going to be people who don't like something the newspaper prints. But paraphrasing Bill
Cosby, I'm not exactly sure the sure way to success, but the sure way to fail is to try to please everybody. So I know
at some points throughout my college career, and life, people are going to disagree with my actions. The only thing I
can do is break down the reasons as much as possible.
Facts are facts, and opinions are opinions, and separating the two isn't very hard if reason is used.! will
continue to encourage the staff of The Ranger News to get all the information they can. (Note: if we are choosing
what information to publish or not to publish, we are being biased and less credible - the only way to stay in the
clear is publishing all the information our staff gets.) Students and readers can decide for themselves whether they
like the information or not.
In other news, I'd like to welcome back The State, written and created by the Satirical Writers Guild. The
State and The Ranger News have a contract signed where The Ranger News has no editorial control over The State.
The Satirical Writers Guild has their own editor-In-chief that can decide the content policies for their organization.
The Ranger News and The State simply share benefits (much like The Ranger News and the Wall Street Journal
Campus Edition). Any opinions on The State can be sent to "100 Words or Less" at rangernews@uwp.edu. In fact,
any opinions about anything can be sent to" 100 Words or Less," We definitely won't hold back from publishing
what anyone on campus has to say, even if it is against The Ranger News.
Please note our March production schedule has changed. Instead of printing on March 4 and 18, we will be
~ombining the two is.sues to come out on March 11. This is going to give us time to rework the newspaper and bring
It up to yet another higher level as we continue to make it all it can be. In the meantime, thanks for reading.

Names: To Print or Not To Print
BY JASON GRIFFES
On February 4· at noon The Ranger News
distributed their second paper of the spring
semester to the campus of UW-Parkside. This
issue included a new Police Beat section which
integrated the names of seven offenders that
had been issued citations. This newly styled
Police Beat replaced the quirky joke style of its
predecessor of the fall semester.
On the same day, about an hour later,
at the I p.m. Parkside Student Government
Association meeting, PSGA issued a resolution
in opposition to The Ranger News' decision to
print those names. This resolution detailed the
reasons for PSGA's opposition to the decision
made by The Ranger News. The resolution itself
said it would be forwarded to the Cbancellor
and the Associated Press. The vote for the
resolution passed through the Student Senate
with overwhelming results. This session ended
with 15 senators for the resolution, two against,
and one member abstained.
After the meeting, over the weekend,
the editor-in-chief of The Ranger News,
Henry Gaskins, learned of the resolution and
was provided with a copy of it. "I wrote my
response ...how I would respond since I am
the leader of The Ranger News. I presented
PSGA's resolution and my response to the staff
in our meeting [Monday the 7] and we voted
unanimously on the response." The response
that Gaskins said detailed contradictions to
the points offered in PSGA's resolution and
indicated that the printing of names would
continue.
"The resolution is saying that we [the
senate] feel that the students don't want their
names to be in the paper for incriminating
offenses," stated Nick Henning, President ProTempore
of the Senate. Henning went on to
say, "they [the students] feel we're a closed
community and many students that attend the
university are from the area. It seems that
putting this in the paper would make it more of
a gossip column."
Henning also made the point that the
Senate is aware that they can't stop The Ranger
News from printing the names in the paper.
"We are aware of the first Amendment and The
Ranger News' right to print the names but we
think that just because you have the ability to
do something doesn't mean that you should:'
"Everybody knows everybody and we don't
think that everyone should know everyone
else's business."
The Resolution, according to Henning, is
"Just a recommendation from the Senate it is
not something they [The Ranger News] have to
do." The decision was not easily reached by the
Senate, and talks which had begun in a previous
meeting were carried over to the meeting on
February 4, when the vote for the resolution was
passed.
The original decision to print the names of
offenders by the Ranger News was made a few
weeks earlier. "One thing I always encourage
our writers to do is get as much information as
possible, the fundamentals ofjournalism are who,
what, when, where, how, and why. This is what
1 encourage our writers to do," stated Gaskins.
"If staff members want to get the information
and get the names and it comes across my desk
1 have to print their work, unless I give them a
reason that I'm not going to print their work."
One worry of PSGA is that printing the
names of offenders in The Ranger News will
tarnish those offenders reputation. Gaskins
response to this was, "Printing the names in
the newspaper cannot have a greater effect than
the incident itself. If a future employer wants
to find out about your record they can, its open
records."
While neither PSGA nor The Ranger News
has done any official polling, they have both
asked around campus to get the feel of what
students think:. "I know Senators went and
talked to people they knew and asked [student
opinions]," stated Henning. Gaskins also spoke
to many students regarding the Police Beat.
''1' ve had a mixed reaction; a lot of people think
it's really cool that we're doing it and I've had
people come up to me and teU me it's a bad idea.
and they would be embarrassed if their name
was in the Police Beat."
"1 have had professors tell me that it brings
a more serious tone to the news paper itself,
and I agree that it makes it more serious. What
we used to do was throw in jokes, but now it's
serious and that's what I like about it. 1certainly
don't lean one way or the other about it being
good or bad but I definitely think that it does
bring a more serious tone to the newspaper," said
Gaskins when asked about his personal opinion.
While an agreement on the issue between
The Ranger News and PSGA does not seem to
be forthcoming in the near future, there has been
some compromise reached. If an individual
has been cited by the police and would like to
have their name omitted from the Police Beat,
they can come to The Ranger News office at
Wyllie DI39C and request that their name not
be printed.

OPEN DIALOGUE
BY TAL GOLDWATER
The Ranger News holds
an open dialogue with various
administrators in each issue. For
this issue. the following questions
were asked to the Director of
Public Relations. Dave Buchanan.
What do you do at
UW·Parkside?
I
I
"I am the director of public
relations, which means Iget to say
all the good things about student,
faculty, staff, and so fourth,"
Buchanan said, "There are a lot of
events that go on that I have the
opportunity to talk to news media
about. Ialso program the sign on
[Highway thirty-one]. I also do just
about anything that publicizes the
university."
Director ot Public Relations Dave Buchanan
How do you bring attention to
UW-Parkside community?
"Other than news media, I have a good idea of what reporters are looking for
when they go after a story." Buchanan answered. "With the internet there are so many
more opportunities for us to publicize what goes on in the university. People aren't
tethered to the newspaper anymore. They're not glued to the radio when they want to
get news. They're not limited to television when they want to find out what goes on
at Parkside. I work with all those media-with radio, television, newspaper. but I also
work through the web. [It's] is an important part of what I do, because I distribute all
my news releases via e-mail. No more paper. [There is old fashion method. which
is get out in front of classes. This Monday, and Wednesday, I had the opportunity to
talk Judy Logsdon's class about public relations and using public relations and how to
become part of public relations."

Eating Ramen Noodles,
Panhandling, and Selling
Your Soul
BY SHERRY NELSEN
Well, maybe things aren't this bad
for students attending UW-Parkside, but
students do undergo a great deal of stress
and hardship in paying for the costs of
college. The things students do to pay for
college can range from working a parttime
job to receiving financial assistance
through lo~ns. Many sacrifices are made
in order to obtain an education. Student
Katie Marler explains, "You have to plan
on when you'll be able to buy groceries,
and when you'll be able to go on vacation.
I've never had to save so much money in
my whole life." Another student, Grace
McKnight adds, "I have to use my time
very well. I have to be very good at time
management So Ican get my homework
done, work 30 hours per week, and
actually attend classes," For some students
these sacrifices can be overwhelming.
Michael Cyzak describes, "I feel like I am
personally challenging myself to be the
best I can. but sometimes 1just can't make
the cut."
However. positive aspects do emerge
from students' struggles. McKnight pays
out-of-state tuition with help from her
family and student loans. She works at
Starbucks as a shift manager in order to
pay back her parents and her loans. She
says of her experience. "I've learned
a lot of responsibility. I appreciate my
education much more." Marler works
for Aramark on campus, as a tutor in the
tutoring center. and serves as the secretary
for Parks ide Adult Student Alliance.
Marler says of her situation, "It teaches
you to be frugal. You have to carefully
plan out your days. That is making me
more organized. which is helping me out
with my classes."
So why do college students endure
all of these hardships? Marler left a job
managing a dental office that paid $35,000
a year to come back to college. She
explains, "I didn't feel like I had a voice to
speak. I didn't feel like I was in a position
to express myself or to give my opinion or
to make what I think or what I do mailer
With a college education you can '" you
can make yourself known, and make
yourself heard, and make a difference."
Sometimes knowing that you'll be able
to accomplish your goals makes all of the
~ardship worth it. McKnight explains,
I am hopmg that once I graduate from
college I can go to law school, and once
that I'm a lawyer I can pay it all back.It
would be worth it knowing that I can get
to that level."
Many students can agree that the
need for money negatively influences
their college experience. Cyzak explains.
"l work two jobs in order to pay forthe
car I need to get from home to school to
work and back again. Working 30 to 40
hours a week at two jobs and taking IS to
18 credits has been the standard for me
in college. Unfortunately, that leads me
to have very little time to do anything,
including homework." McKnight adds,
"It takes time to budget your money,
to make your money. So worrying and
managing your money definitely takes
time out of the time you could dedicate
towards studying."
Not only does money cause stress
during college. but student loans linger
long after graduation. Many students find
their futures darkened by the reality of
having to pay back their borrowed money.
Mcknight observes, "[Student loans]
already affect me in what I' m choosing
to do. Rather than going on directly to
graduate school, I'm going to take a year
or two off to work full time and pay back
Some of my student loans before moving
on with my education." Cyzak adds,
"I am not looking forward to student
loans. [think they will cause me a lot
of stress. I am not a fan of debt, but like
most people, I can't afford to 'pay cash'
for everything." For students planning to
continue their education, loan repayment
can sound especially intimidating. Marler
comments, "It's going to be 10 years
paying on an education. While I know it'S
worth it, I wish there was another way.
It's just daunting to know that I'm going
to have debt forever".
While college may seem like one.
financial hardship after another, there"
a Iight at the end of the tunnel. SomedaY
we will lind careers, stop eating Ramen
Noodles on a regular basis, and pay
off our loans. Like our memories from
college, Our education will remain with US
"'I throughout our lives. Marler explains,
just think that education is so imponuol.
ueh and so valuable, and no mailer how In
money you owe. nobody can ever take
your education away from you:'

Peer Health Educator Nina Brown
Leads on a National Scale
BY CHRISTOPHER ROSIN
You may have seen Nina Brown helping to
promote health awareness on campus over the last two
years, along with the Peer Health Educators, such as the
"Love Carefully" event taking place most recently, where
condoms, literature, and other information on rnakinz
D
healthy cboices are passed out to the students at UWParkside,
but Brown, a member of the largest studentbased
organization in the United States, is actually the
RegionaJ Representative for five states: Wisconsin,
Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Brown, a senior at UW-Parkside majoring in
biology, is one of 12 members of a national staff
covering 35,000 college students. She is involved with
an organization called B.A.C.C.H.U.S (Boosting Alcohol
Consciousness Concerning the Health of University
Students). Peer Health Educators are the student
representative voice for the organization. The General
Assembly conference she attended last November,
which takes place somewhere different each year, was
held in Chicago last year, and she attended the previous
conference, as well.
After graduating from UW-Parkside, Brown plans
to attend medical school. Also, her ambitions include
creating a non-profit catering clinic for the homeless. «1
don't think bealthcare should only be for those who are
pri vileged."
In the past, Peer Health has sponsored many
events on campus to promote overall health, including
safe spring break kits, (with a drawing to win a Jeep
Wrangler), alcohol awareness week, stress relief (during
the time of finals), and many others. "A lot of people feel
more comfortable talking to their peers than they would
with someone such a counselor," Brown says, "and we
talk about a lot of issues that they may have not had
addressed by either their high school or their parents and
are now coming into COllege, and sometimes this is where
they'll get a sex talk or other information, and we just
look out for the overall health of the university."
As for upcoming events from the UW-Parkside
Peer Health Educators, there will be an event where 15
guys and 15 girls - on a "first come" basis - will have
two to three minutes to talk to each other, and they'll
eventually talk to everybody in the room, with the whole
purpose being to hopefully find someone they'll be
compatible with. ''They do it a lot in Chicago. People pay
hundreds of dollars to do it, but ours will be free."
A date has not yet been set for the "speed
dating" event, but coming up on February 16, Peer
Health will sponsor a Singles Party in the Den at 8 p.m.
"Basically, it's just going to be a place for single people
to come and hang out, play garnes, and other things like
that, but couples are welcome to come. too." Be sure to
come by the Den tonight for the Singles Party, and keep
your eyes open for the "speed dating" and other campus
events sponsored by the Peer Health Educators.

The Ranger NewS -
University Book Prices: Interview with Steve McLaugWin
BY CHRISTOPHER ROSIN
Anyone who's ever purchased college textbooks
has most likely fussed about the costly prices of books at
one time or another-Including Elise Dunton, a student at
UW-Parkside, who decided she had enough of paying for
overpriced books and tried to start an alternative way for
students to get the books they need through the campus
website. Reportedly, Dunton attempted to use a "Pick
Your Books" method, where students could obtain books
for cheaper costs through this group on the UW-Parkside
website. However, this allegedly involved a 56 fee for
participating. Because the UW-Parkside server, which
was designed for educational purposes. is slate-funded,
it was in danger of a possible violation of network usage
policies.
The policies, according to Associate Vice-Chancellor
Steve McLaughlin, came about in the mid- '90's, as the
internet is a recent phenomenon, and can be accessed
through the UW-Parkside website under a keyword
search of 'Network Use Policies.' Basically, because
there would be a profit for Dunton. the state-provided.
taxpayer-supported UW-Parkside website cannot be used
for profit or money-making. "The policy exists," says
McLaughUn. "because the taxpayers supply the money to
have that network. and so it would be an unfair advantage
for Someone in a private sector or a similar business to
have someone using the state-provided server to conduct
business .:
According to McLaughlin. he requested to meet
with Dunton to discuss a possible network use violation.
with the issue actually being that there was a profit
involved on a state-funded server. "It had nothing to do
with the appropriateness of her service, but the website
can't be used for profit or enterprise, and J think that's
where I was quoted as saying to 'Take it somewhere
else;' if she wanted to use another carrier or server. I
have no problem with the service-just not on a taxpayersupported
website." In other words, her entrepreneurial
effort or the concept was not in itself the problem - she
just would have to use a server other than the campus
website.
As this is an administrative policy, it comes
through computer network services, and g?es up
through a chain of review, and eventually It ge~s ~oth~
chancellor's cabinet, where it becomes an adrnuustrauve
policy, once it is approved. If someone wanted to change
it, they'd have to start with computer network SUpp0l1.
Steve Premeau. head of computer network. would most
likely be son to contact. Premeau reports to the chief
information officer and the chancellor's cabinet.
When asked what he would suggest to students
who are tired of the high cost of books, Mclaughlin
says, "Well. there are a couple of things students can do.
There certainly are other sources for textbooks: Ama:;on.
Com is one. and there's others like Wal-ManCon1. I think
there are cautions about those services. however. that
you have to be careful about. like they may not have the
most CUIl"COl editions. or they might not have a buy-back
policy. So if ynu drop the course or don't use the hook,
you could have a book you can't get rid of. There's also
the shipping and handling. so there's all kind'S of things to
be aware or:'
In addition. he mentioned that the chancellor has
formed a committee called the 'Textbook Study Group:'
The committee will be comprised of three students, three
faculty members, a dean, and a financial accountant. The
chancellor has asked the student government to nominate
six students, three of which will be selected to serve on
this committee. This will look at the entire textbook issue
and differcnr delivery models, and give a report at the
end of the semester. Chris Semenas, PSGA President. is
looking for interest and people who are interested should
get in touch with him.
"Textbook prices are always an issue, and
continue to be so. The prices. and changing editions
much more quickly than they used to:' McLaughlin says.
"From the publishing industry's perspective, if you have
a textbook for a specific class. it's a limited market. and
there are numerous textbooks out there. but once you
produce that first copy. the more you print, it \ not that
much more expensive: so with a mass-sale book. like

on volume. whereas, a text in a limited market is not
going to sell huge amounts, so that's how some of these
prices come about."
On a linal note, he adds, 'They've always
been expensive: I remember complaining about them
when I was a student many years ago. but it's also a
concern for everybody, The committee's going to be
looking at all of thil." but it's ready to go. We're just
looking for the students to get involved and a few

u.S. Can't Sue
For Tobacco Profits
A U.S. federal appellate court
tossed out the possibility of a 5280
billion penalty against the tobacco
industry, handing cigarette makers
a major legal victory and putting
Altria Group, the parent of Phillp
Morris USA, a step closer to selling
off its Kraft Foods Inc. unit.
Justice Department lawyers had
sought the sum at trial in federal
district court in Washington, arguing
that tobacco companies conspired
to mislead the public about
the dangers of cigarettes. The $280
billion is what the government
claims tobacco companies made
over three decades in sales to young
smokers who became nicotine addicts.
The Justice Department can
continue its lawsuit, but some observers
believe the tobacco companies
now could be more willing to
settle the case to get it behind them.
In addition to the forfeiture of past
profits, the government has been
seeking court -ordered changes in
industry practices, such as advertising
restrictions, industry-funded
smoking-eessation programs and
bigger warning labels.
Alma has been preparing to
split itself into two or three entities
when the tobacco-litigation environmentimproves.ln
addition tn its
tooacco assets, Alma owns about
85%of Kraft Foods, maker of Oreos
and Oscar Mayer lunch meats.
Cruise Lines Seek
End to 'Outbreak'
The cruise industry is proposing
a new remedy of sorts for recurring
outbreaks of onboard illnesses.
A month into the industry'S
busiest season, more than 1,100 passengers
on seven ships have gotten
sick. according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. At
the current rate, the number of 00-
board outbreaks in 2005will top last
year's record of 37.
Frustrated by the media covel"
age that often accompanies such occurrences,
the International Council
of Cruise Lines, a trade group,
has asked the CDC to eliminate the
word "outbreak" from the agency's
health reports. "If they used the
words 'increased incidences,' it
wouldn't be misreported by the media,"
says Michael Crye, the trade
group's president.
There's no sign that the latest illnesses
are hurting bookings, which
did happen in 2003 after negative

publicity from an outbreak. Cruise
lines have tried squashing the virus
with everything from stronger industrial
cleaners and new sanitation
regimens to installing antibacterial
hand sanitizers near the buf·
fet line.
The CDC acknowledges that it is
considering eliminating "outbreak"
from its reports. But David Forney,
chief of the CDC's vessel-sanitation
program, says a change isn't certain.
"We're not going to change
just hecause the industry doesn't

H -P's Carly Fiorina
Forced to Resign
Hewtett-Packard Co. Chairman
and Chief Executive Carly Fiorina,
after five and a half tumultuous years
at the giant printer and computer
maker, has been ousted by the board.
Board members say they asked
for the resignation of Ms. Fiolina, architect
of a controversial $19 billion
purchase of Compaq Computer Corp.
that has failed to produce the benefits
expected.
In a statement, Ms. Fiolina, one
of the most visible women in Amencan
business and one of the few tn
head a major corporation, said,
"While I regret the board and I have
differences about how to execute HP's
strategy, Irespect their decision."
When she joined H-P in 1999,she received
a mandate to transform a Silicon
Valley icon that had fallen behind
its peers. Revenue soared, partly because
of the 2002deal with Compaq.
In November, the company reported
fiscal 2004net income of $3.5 hillion,
up 380/0 from a year earlier, while revenue
at $80 billion was up 9%.

S
he had acted with Sean
Penn and Denzel Washington,
and her paycheck
had soared. Then she got
the chance to act opposite
screen legend Robert De
Niro, her name biiled equally with
his in many of the ads. She
grabbed the role, though it meant a
hig pay cut.
That sort of thing often happens
in Hollywood-except this actress
is 10 years old.
For a child actor, Dakota Fanning
is acting, and marketed, like
an adult. Her latest movie is "Hide
and Seek," in which she stars alongside
Mr. De Niro as a daughter who
grows increasingly sinister in the
wake of her mother's suicide. Although
crttics pummeled the Rrated
thriller, "Hide and Seek"
opened to a solid $20 million at the
box office in its first weekend, surprising
Hollywood, given the
movie's poor pre-release buzz. And
she will playa leading role in one of
this summer's most anticipated
films, "The War of the Worlds," directed
by Steven Spielberg and
starring 'Ibm Cruise.
The suicide, terror and R-rating
of "Hide and Seek" may add up to
an unusual environment for a child
actor not even old enough to see the
movie on her own in a theater. But
the strategy for developing Ms.
Dakota Fanning and Robert De Nlro in 'Hide and Seek.'
Fanning's career has been different,
ever since she hit Hollywood's
radar four years ago in "I Am
Sam," in which a mentally disabled
Sean Penn fought for the custody of
his 9-year-old daughter (Ms. fanning
was 6 at the time).
Most child actors end up in
cutesy kid roles in family entertainment-think
Macaulay Culkin in
"Home Alone" (1990) and its sequel,
the twins Ashley and Mary-Kate
Olsen in the "Foil House" TV sitcom
and their many Disney videos.
Filmmakers employ them not so
much to act, as to play themselves.
With the exception of Jodie Foster
and Drew Barrymore, few child
actors graduate to foil-fledged
aduit stardom-something Ms.
Fanning'S business team clearly is
aiming for. "They are positing her
as a fully formed actress," says
Hutch Parker, president of Twentieth
Century Fox Film, which made
"Hide and Seek" as well as "Man on
Fire," last year's hard-edged
drama in which Ms. Fanning
played a kidnap victim whose bodyguard
(Denzel Washington) fails to
protect her.
Part of the strategy comes down
to billing credits. In Hollywood, the
size of an actor's name, and
whether it's placed above or below
the title, goes a long way to determining
his or her prestige. In
posters and newspaper ads, marketers
often place Ms. Fanning's
name in a position equal, or almost
equal, to stars who earn 10 times
what she does. Mr. De Niro was
paid about $10million for his role in
"Hide and Seek," one-third of the
movie's $30 million budget, people
close to the movie say. Ms. fanning's
representatives agreed to

Telecom Mergers Cut Options
T
he ranks of the long-distance
phone "Industry
could he dramatically reduced
now that SBC COmmunications
has agreed to
acquire AT&T and MCI is
in talks that could lead to its heing
acquired by Qwest or Verizon.
The disappearance of AT&T and
Mer would mean fewer choices and
potentially higher prices for consumers
and companies, after several
years of multiplying options for
phone and data service. Since the
1996 Telecom Act, millions of telephone
users reaped the rewards of
greater competition as the local
pbone giants and long-distance
companies invaded each other's
businesses. In 1995, the average
household spent $32.78 a month on
long distance. Now, it is $13.70, according
to TNS Telecoms, a Jenkintown,
Pa., market-research firm.
That all changed last year, when
regulators dropped rules that required
local phone companies to al·
low competitors to use their networks
at deep discounts to offer local
service.
If the mergers now in the works
go through, local phone companies
and cable companies that now compete
to provide phone service also
could start to behave like a classic
duopoly in which neither side considers
it worthwhile to start a war
for market share.
"The loser is the customer," says
Brian Adamik, president of Yankee
Group, a Boston-hased technology
consulting firm.
Many businesses, too, which
have come to take dramatic price
cuts for granted when they renegotiate
their telecommunications contracts,
could see those discounts
shrink. Many companies could be
left heavily dependent on one
provider and be forced to change
negotiating tactics on teiecom-service
purchases. AT&T has about 24
million household customers and
roughly three million busine~s
clients. MCI serves roughly 14 million
homes and about one million
businesses.
Other businesses argue that consolidation
could bring some stability
to the battered telecom sector.
Arvind Sabharwal, director of
global technology offices for GMAC
Financial Services, says: "At this
current level of consolidation, we
should be able to benefit from that if
. they execute correctly. In the longer
view, if it gets down to one player,
that would be a very strong concern
to us."

have her fee-which Hollywood
agents estimate at about $2 million-cut
to six figures.
So some "Hide and Seek" ads
put Ms. Fanning's name above the
movie's title, a position reserved
lor only major stars, others below
the title. "These credits are 100%
negotiated," says Peter Dekom, a
well·known entertainment attorney.
Another reason for Ms. fanning's
marquee treatment: The studio,
Fox, saw her as someone who
could sell "Hide and Seek," based
on the success of "Man on Fire."
To be sure, some of the most successful
child actors did venture into
older-audience films. Around Ms.
Fanning's age, Mr. Culkin starred
in some PG or PG-13 dramas: Haley
Joel Osment, who was 11 when
he starred in the PG-13 1999thriller
"The Sixth Sense," appeared in an
R-rated drama, but it was only released
in video in the U.S. But Ms.
Fanning has already appeared in
three R-rated dramas.
Further, Mr. Osment didn't
work at Ms. Fanning's furious
pace: seven films since 2001, and
three more over the next 18months.
Mr. Culkin's output has trailed off
(recently, the 24-year-old played a
murderous, drug-crazed New York
party organizer in "Party Monster").
Mr. Osment, 17, hasn't been
in a movie since 2003, though his
agent says he's "offered projects all
the time."
Discovered by a talent agent in
Atlanta, Ms. Fanning did her first
TV commercial (for Tid ) when she
was 5 years old. The ily relocated
to Los Angeles after her career
took off.
But while Ms. Fanning's family
and associates have pushed hard in
advancing her career, they've kept
the reins unusually tight on her
publlcity machine, insisting on privacy.
News interviews are limited
to a week before a movie opens, and
the week after. She has never been
photographed with her family. Her
parents will not do media interviews.
Ms. Fanning isn't told how
much she earns (by law, 15%of her
earnings are set aside in a trust),
nor does she read reviews of her
movies, adds Ms. fanning'S agent,
Cindy Osbrink,
One thing Ms. Osbrink doesn't
see in her client's future: movies
like "The Princess Diaries" or "The
Lizzie McGuire Movie." "I don't see
her as a big teen pop star at all,"
she says. "I see her in big, meaningful
stories."

McDonald's Tries
For 'Viral' Buzz
A Super Bowl ad featuring obsessive
interest in a McDonald's
french fry shaped like the 16th president
drew a lot of puzzled looks
from the tens of millions of people
watching the big game, and a relative
trickle of thousands went online
to find out more about the spot. And
that is just the way McDonald's
likes it.
The campaign, in which a man
has found a fry that looks like Abraham
Lincoln and aims to auction it
online, includes a Web site called
Iincolnfry.com that has fake blogs
and a real-life Yahoo auction of the
presidential snack, with the proceeds
destined for the Ronald McDonald
House charity.
The effort is part of a growing
marketing trend that increasingly
tries Web promotions and other
nontraditional approaches in hopes
of building "viral" buzz spread by
consumers themselves. Marketers
and their agencies see that as one of
the best ways of appealing to fickle
but technology-savvy young men.

drew some pans from industry observers.

Parkside is a peaceful campus. but there are some people that are spreading hate.
On New Year's Eve r started getting harassing phone calls -- In these phone calls, my

who it was. This student was actually written up for having a confederate flag in his

ADVICE COLUMN
This is
Tori Schuebel's
advice. If you
disagree, write
100 words or less.
Dear Tori,
I am in desperate need of some math
help. My teacher has been no help, and J
heard of the Tutoring Center on campus,
but I don't know how it works or if it
could actually help.
-Stumped
Dear Stumped,
Tutoring is a great idea if you are
not getting the necessary help from a
teacher. There are at least two awesome
math tutors there who are students
majoring in math at UW-Parkside; they
both have taken advanced calculus
350 last semester. You don't need an
appointment, you can just walk in and
ask for help.
The tutor center is down in Wyllie Hall,
near the cashier's office. and is open
Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. until
6 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from
9 a.m. until 7 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m.
until noon. If for some reason you still
can't understand the material try asking
another math teacher or another student
in the class, if you hadn't already. It may
seem obvious but not enough students
take advantage of the tutor center, and it
can help a ton!
-Good Luck!
Tori

Dear Ms. Unconfident,
First Iwill explain the basics in a

you may have heard them before. You
should always check in with a doctor
to see what they say first, but it's
always good to get a second opinion.
Perhaps you can check out some
additional information on the internet at
websites such as http://greentealovers.
corn!. While I'm sure that taking these
supplements cannot hurt you, I don't
know how reliable they are on weight
loss. Every bottle has a tag line saying
"Supplement to be taken in conjunction
with a healthy diet and regular exercise
program. Results may vary". Green Tea
is very good for your health in general
so if you are not paying too much Isay
it is fine to be on the pills. Remember
the simple facts, though, that you should
also be aware of your food diet and
exercise. Iknow it is never easy but if
you keep using merely diet pills you'll
never effectively lose the weight. Small
changes can be made, and yes it will
take some time. Trust me small steps are
going to be the most effective in the long
run increasing your body confidence
and health; J speak from experience,
and research; as one website states, "
Most health professionals recommend
slow weight loss as the safest and most
effective approach. A sensible weightloss
program allows you to lose weight
gradually -- about one-half to one pound
per week. Gradual weight loss promotes
long-term loss of body fat, not just water
weight that can be quickly regained.

Ski School
BY NICK BORNS
Staying in shape this winter doesn't necessarily have to include locking
yourself in a "muscle jail" and grunting away while moving stacks of metal plates in
mind-numbing repetition. The snowfall this winter means an invigorating and refreshing
outdoor activity for everyone---cross country skiing. There are many skiing enthusiast
who eagerly wait for ample snowfall, so they can strap sticks to their boots and slide
through the cross country trails at UW-Parkside.
They don't just get out there on the snow and instantaneously shoot across
the field. Cross country skiing requires knowledge, skill, and a few pieces of basic
equipment to get started.
The equipment necessary for skiing is simple: a pair of skis, a pair of ski boots,
a pair of poles, and, finally warm outer garments. The skis are not straight planks of
highly-polished wood. They have a curve, "camber," which is a built-in flex that cross
country skis have to provide maximum performance during the push and glide phases.
Also, the bottom of them differs from downhill or telemark skis, as the cross country
skis now almost all have small ridge patterns on the middle portion to provide grip
during the pushing motion. The equipment is available at most sporting goods stores,
but there are a few important notes concerning clothing. Remember the acronym
COLD.
Keep Clean-fancy jackets & fleeces won't work properly if dirty (skin always
secretes oils).
Avoid Overheating-adjust the level of activity to ensure that sweating is kept
to minimum,
Wear Layers-heat gets trapped between layers to aid in staying warm,
Don't Overdress-remaining "comfortably cool" will keep you skiing longer.
Before any of that stuff comes into play, you need trails to ski on.
Having the trails is essential, but using them first can be an intimidating experience.
The first skiers of a new snowfall often must "break trail," stomp on the snow with their
skis to create a cross country "track" to ski on. Breaking trail is fun because there are
usually fewer skiers on the trails, but it is also very demanding because skiers don't get
the benefit of sliding forward. Packed trails allow for a tremendous increase in glide and
range of motion while eliminating mucb of the variability in conditions found at nongroomed
locations like UW-Parkside.
If your fitness background includes activities such as ice skating,
downhill or telemark skiing, then you will have a far greater likelihood of early success.
Ifthese sports are rare and mysterious rituals that you've only viewed from TV or afar,
then taking a professional lesson your first few times on decent snow will guarantee
enjoyable first experiences.
The "classic technique" motion is the easiest to learn in a short time
span and requires the least amount of athletic conditioning to enjoy-at least at the
novice level. Utilizing an opposite driving leg and forward poling arm, cross country
skiers look as if they are simply sliding forward.
Now, try to remember the time you and aU your siblings lined up
on a newly-waxed hardwood floor for a sock race. You would scoot-n-slide across the
floor using a driving motion with one leg as your opposite arm swings forward for
momentum and balance. This "scoot-n-slide" is the essence of the cross country skiing.
Start on a flat area with finn tracks. Assume a basic athletic stance
by keeping your knees slightly bent while leaning forward a little. Start out with small
slides at first, and as you progress to longer and more integrated motions, your slides
and strides will become longer and longer. After even as little as a few minutes gliding
you should notice that
if you get your weight
up and over the forward
ski (as opposed to
sitting back just a wee
bit), the ski will glide
forward with quite a bit
of freedom and POwer.
Most beginners get a
taste of a real gliding
ski even in the firstfive
minutes on snow.
You'll need
to use your poles to help propel you forward and maintain your balance. Using the
opposite leg-opposite arm technique will do the job. If you think about the motion too
much, you'll probable fall over, so just move naturally. When planting your poles try
to keep your arms at shoulder-width spacing and the pole angled down towards your
boots. When planting, you should slightly flex your elbow, then should push your hand
smoothly past your hips and extend fully behind you as if you were trying to throw the
pole. Keep a hold of the pole though!
Ultimately you'll achieve a pace and form that is a pendulum-like
motion with a relaxed follow-through and recovery. Once you reach this point, you will
start to look around at the beautiful winter scenery that snowhares, squirrels, and redtailed
hawks live in.
Eventually UW-Parkside's trails will be too steep for skiing and
you'll need to switch to the herringbone. Derived from the Norwegian love offish, the
herringbone is primarily an uphill walking technique.
To herringbone, skiers simply widen the tips of their skis into an open
'Y' and put one ski in front of the other-kind of like walking. Skiers who came intoIh
uphill in tracks exercise courtesy by stepping out of the tracks and moving to oneside
or the other before they herringbone-it can really ruin the tracks that took someone"
diligent effort to make. As the grade increases or the snow becomes firmer, skiersmust
use the entire inside edge of your ski as a claw to add grip. On firm snow this willmean
really planting the inside edge pretty hard each time you take a step. Anything on the
UW-Parkside's trails can be overcome with the herringbone technique. Herringbone-ia
can take a lot of energy if you do it too fast, so climb at a moderate pace.
The good aspect of moving up is usually the return trip: skiing
downhill. Skiing downhill is by far the most enjoyable part of cross country skiing
(apart from keeping in shape and looking at the winter wonderland).
Skiers trying this bit for the first time can often be identified by their
white powdery snow-coat from the fall they recently took. However, if they weren't
falling, it means that they weren't trying. To increase your success, bend your anldes
and knees, keep your weight on the balls of your feet (this gives you a "shock absorber"
for undulations in the snow), keep your hands in front of you and your poles out of
the snow, remain calm (a relaxed body and mind reacts better to changes in speed
and terrain), and, finally, learn how to weight and un-weight your skis to control your
decent. As with all of life's obstacles, you should start on a small, private hill that's free
of obstacles and observers (no one needs to know whether or not you took a little spill).
The most important thing to remember is that you should be having
fun. If you find that the cold wind is biting your little nosey-wosey, and you just cao't
keep your httle paws warm, then you should consider the treadmill or the indoor track.
However, if you find that you have a new love for the outdoors, remember to bring a
camera and take pictures, for Punxsutawney Phi] says that winter will only last six more
weeks.

How To (Review a Pop
Album In Six Days)
BY NICK HONECK
"I'Il try and make it/All on

Nobody's valentine. on Nate Johnson's
How To (Make A Pap Record ill Tell

For the most part, he does.
The album's title may be
misleading but "it just kind of came
to me," said Johnson. Acknowledging
the concept of the album. Johnson
began with the intention of writing
one song a day for 10 days. However.
the project stretched to 14 tracks.
More confusing is that Johnson lumps
his album into the pop category. The
listener cannottell if this is a sly wink
to the underground. or ifhe truly
wanted to make a pop album.
How To is an all-acoustic
album about breaking up and making
up - a subject that goes band in hand
with today's higb school and college
students. "So what call I do girl? fro
be with you girllWhy can't you see
the pain/You put me through again?
NOll didn't even know my name," a
line from YOli'II Never Be Mine, could
comfortably lit on almost any other
song on the album.

songs sound like they're about a girl.

Asian Organization (PAO) hosted

well as a nice selection of hip hop and

PAO President Thavone

about the turnout for the event, hoping
that students from a cross-section of

Although the majority of

I Love It, I Love It Not
BY NICK BORNS
Wisconsin
flower shops will be busy
with orders even past
Valentine's Day, but it's
unlikely there will be an
order for one rose to be
sent to the workplace of a
secret love.
Viewers of He
Loves Me, He Loves Me
Not (or A la folie ... pas du
tout for the Francophiles)
will notice there are roses
of all colors: April fool's pastels; friendly, cheek-blushing pinks and, of course,
bright, beaming I-love-you reds.
Picking her way through this flower shop, Angelique, played by Amelie
star Audrey Tautou, is seen daintily discriminating for the perfect rose for her beau.
Roses, hearts, and pretty girls on bicycles make the audience think of nothing but
L'amoure.
Taking these images in and teased by these introductory symbols, moviegoers
might imagine they were about to see a lightweight, romantic comedy in the
usual style of French film. The truth, however, is darker and, in many ways, more
entertaining.
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not is set in the summery city of Bordeaux,
which looks like the old-time black-and-white film Paris. The tale develops in
front of the audience as a romantic film-cum-rnelodrarna. It begins with the end
of an extramarital affair between a cardiologist, Laic, who is played by Samuel
Le Bihan, and a female art student on scholarship, Angelique. The impressionable
young girl then tries to get Loic to leave his pregnant wife, Rachel.
David, played by Jeff Bigot, is a medical intern doting on Angelique, He pines
away and becomes increasingly frustrated watching her flirt with Laic. Heloise,
played by Sophie Guillermin, works in the same cafe as Angelique and witnesses
Loic's mistreatment of her friend. Both characters are caring and dislike Loic's
cold-hearted rejection of Angelique.
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not traverses a continually darkening path more
twisted than a truckload of French bread. Its biggest surprises are saved for the
final half, taking a number of risks that all payoff. Told from two distinct and
opposing points of view, it gives the opportunity to see the plot unfold from each
of the main characters' perspectives.
Director Laetitia Colombani does not argue for subjective truth. Colombani
gives the first section of the film a quick pace in order to give the audience just
enough clues to know that something is wrong with one perspective, without
entirely revealing the catch. In fact, a key aspect of this motion picture is that one
point-of-view is more reliable than the other.
If you have seen the movie, you prohably don't have any doubts about
who represents the more credible narrator. Every event has a plausible explanation
that precludes the audience from engaging their willing suspension of disbelief.
The finest touch comes with the soundtrack. Nat King Cole's version of
the jazz classic "LOVE," creates a playfully distressing point in contrast to the two
perspectives.
The way Colombani ties everything together will satisfy the most fastidious
audience members. The plot is more puzzling than suspenseful. With a second
or third viewing, audiences will better understand what's going on and can
pay attention to the details of the cast's craftsmanship. In the end, there are no
difficulties reconciling the outward discrepancies between Angelique's and Laic's
perspectives.
It seems that the part was perfectly made for Tautou. The audience's
association with her previous casting as the title character in Amelie shakes
the assumptions made during the first half of the film. And yet, it is that vety
association with her previous role that allows Tautou to toy with audience's
expectations. In fact, this role requires a farther-reaching range than Tautou's lead
in Amelie, and the actress has no d.ifficulty overcoming the challenge.
Le Bihan. who, like Tautou, is required to play two radically different versions
of the sanae character, plays Loic as if the part was written for him. Bihan was
featured in the movie Le Pacte des Loups (The Brotherhood oj the Wolf for the
monoglots) in which he played a martial arts expert recently returned from New
France to fight an old, French terror.
Making films with credible and unpredictable plots is no easy task, but when
filmmakers add highly talented actors to great writing, the result is a surprising and
devious movie where one person's viewpoint represents only half of the story.
Next in VW-Parkside's Foreign Film Series is Whale Rider, a film
about a New Zealander girl, Pai, who ventures to break the oppressive rules
of primogeniture. Her father leaves New Zealand, and Pai is raised by her
grandparents, Koro, the chief of his people, and Nanny, his wife. Pai believes she
could serve as the chief, but her grandfather, despite his love, opposes this idea.
One day, all the village's teenage boys are summoned to compulsory lessons
on how to be a Maori and the leader of Maoris. Pai, who is banned from the
classes, eavesdrops and enlists a wayward uncle to reveal some of the males'
secrets. Whale Rider is in English and Maori with subtitles. Happy viewing,
Communication majors!

The Exonerated Releases Laughs and Cries
ByNICKBORNS
The death penalty is nothing but revenge, and the
United States justice system is too flawed to carry out
y actionwithout reasonable doubt. Of course, readers
anaynot think this way. However, the authors of 711e
;ollerared have an opinion something akin to these
opening statements.
The Exonerated, written by Jessica Blank and
ErikJensen, is based on their interviews with more
than40 exonerated death-row inmates from vastly
differentethnic, religious, educational. and geographic
backgrounds.
Although 89 inmates had been exonerated by the
timeBlank and Jensen began the interviewing process,
theyare the exception from the rule. Many people on
deathrow are waiting for appeals courts to review and
re-try their cases. Fortunately for the guilty, the wheels
ofjustice tum slowly, but unfortunately for the innocent,
theslow pace compounds the injustices inherent in the
system.
Of its many accolades, The Exonerated received the
Defenderof Justice Award from the National Association
ofCriminalDefense Lawyers, Court TV's Scales of
JusticeAward, and the Justice in Media and Arts Award
fromDeath Penalty Focus.
The play's idea sprang from" ... a conference on the
deathpenalty at Columbia University." Blank and Jensen
"tookthe idea to producer Allan Buchman, a friend of
[theirs]from the downtown theater community in New
Yorkwho ran the Culture Project."
The development of the dialogue was done by a
group"of talented and underemployed friends" that
Blankand Jensen worked with to form a script from the
hundredsof hours of interview recordings.
"Additionally, [they] dug into the court
transcripts and case files of the people whose stories
weweretelling. [They] spent countless hours in dusty
courthouse record rooms, pawing through thousands of
microfiche files and cardboard boxes full of affidavits,
depositions, police interrogations and courtroom
testimony."
The writing team certainly did their research to
form a relevant and poignant work that doesn't just get
audiences started thinking about the justice system, but
shapes their thoughts about h.
Additionally, the moratorium on the death penalty
declared by Governor George Ryan of Illinois gave the
play further impetus, as the subject's popularity moved
into the mainstream news media. The advocates of the
death penalty have another George in the then-Governor
George Bush, a presidential candidate in 2000 when the
play was being performed across the country. Bush saw
"more executions carried out under his watch as governor
of Texas than any other state since the reinstatement of
the death penalty in 1976."
The authors of The Exonerated feel very particular
about the casting and delivery of their work. In the
production notes that accompany the script, they state
"[d]irectors and actors should be careful not to be
didactic in their presentation of the play. The drama of
these stories does not need enhancement: It's generally
a good idea to avoid stapling newspaper headlines to the
back wall or throwing electric chairs allover the stage."
This advice seems sound and theatrically feasible
when readers consider the efficacy of the text. However,
Blank and Jensen are strict in the ethnic casting of their
characters because they believe "it is strongly important
that black people play black people and white people
play white people. [They] strongly support nontraditional
casting in general[,] but in the case of this play it dilutes
the reality of many of the issues involved."
Diluting the issues or not, the UW-Parkside
production group portrayed many of the characters
with "mostly young Caucasian women" according to
Michael Clickner, a theater arts professor and director.
The nontraditional casting didn't seem to bother him or
anyone else on the production team, for he added that
he "also had a sense that the problems highlighted in
this show are everyone's problems. As Ayesu, one of the
actors said: 'It is a person's soul not his skin that makes
them who they are. '"
Putting nontraditional casting aside, student actors
can acquire a lot of experience by expanding the range of
roles they can play, and the FreshlNK productions are a
way they can do it. Clickner says, "the skill level vanes
within the student population; this [series] is a way to
train young people."
And will the young people train. The FreshINK
series is going to be a set of new authors and student
actors, and directors with at least one semester of
directing classes under his or her belt. The student
production team will present its proposal to a board of
theater department faculty who will decide whether or
not the show will go on.
The challenge to the students is the same challenge
that faces professionals in the entertainment industry:
they have to find a cast, make the sets, design and make
the costumes, pick timely and engaging topics, and
rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.
Don't worry. UW-Parkside students can help by
purchasing tickets at the theater, making donations at
upcoming events, trying out for a part, or submitting
a script like all the other writers. The schedule for the
FreshINK series is yet to be determined. The only event
set in stone is the FreshINK Productions FRESHink New
Play Festival, which features a collection of new, short
plays written by UW-Parkside student playwrights that
will be as diverse and eclectic as the writers who crafted
them. A complete list of titles, writers, and directors will
be announced at each performance. The performances
will be held at the Augie Wegner Studio Theatre on May
8 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Winterfest
Entertains
Some, Disrupts
Others
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR
Many students noticed the commotion in Wyllie Hall's Main Place on
February 9. However, most weren't sure exactly why they saw sumo wrestler
COstumes, laser tag mazes, an oxygen bar and two giant green screens. . ..
Dubbed Winterfest the event was sponsored by the Student Activities Office
andcostapproximately $4,5'00, according to Stephanie Sirovatka-Marshall, assistant
directorof Student Activities.
''Winterfest evolved from the former Winter Carnival that used to take place
inFebruaryand was coordinated by a handful of student organizations," SirovatkaMarshallsaid.
"Part of the mission of the Student Activities Office [is] to provide both
entertainmentand educational programs for students, along with leadership

Students had mixed reactions. From 11 a.m, to 3 p.m., many students flocked to the

The State Makes
Triumphant Return
Kenosha, WI - In 2004, The State announced
"Despite unbelievably low prices. Wal-Mart Still
Sucks." Fewer words could have ever been truer,
and still hold true today in the year of 2005. Thus
the world was introduced to the wit and wisdom of
that Nobel Award paper that we all came to cherish
-The State.
But in November, charges of treason and
insurrection were levied against The State by the Attorney
General of Guam, John Ashcroft. After an
unsuccessful campaign of poster boards and hallway
boycotting, The State was ultimately exiled to
the Isle of Mariana. Recently. the resignation of the
Attorney General of Guam has once again brought
the public eye back to this courageous paper. Public
demand led to an attempt to free The State from its
prison. Now. after a daring rescue by Navy Seals
and Green Berets, and more than ten weeks in exile,
The State triumphantly returns home.
"The State Has Returned!" proclaimed The
State as it stepped off the plane and addressed the
teeming crowd that gathered at Mitchell lnternational
Airport. In the ensuing champagne party, we
were granted an exclusive interview with The State,
where we were blessed with this message;
"The State apologizes for its absence from
The Ranger News and your livest. But know that
the past ten weeks were not in vain! From the seeds
of The State's imprisonment blossomed inspiration
the world has never seen nor will ever see again!
The State preserved it all in its mind. waiting for the
day when its freedom was restored. Now, with The
State's return, the public will eat of its fruits once
again!"
Public support for The State is at an alltime
high, and The State's opinions will seriously
influence the future course of events in Parkside and
nearby regions. Chris Sernenas and other politicians
are reponed to be anticipating The State's. every
publication, no doubt hoping that a kind word will
propel them to a future term, or nervously dreading
if The State will criticize assholes like them.
When The State was asked where the focus
of its next publication will be, The Stale replied
Children at a Florida elementary school break into a
spontaneous song and dance number upon hearing of
The State:\, refilm.
"The emotional revitalization of Parkside is where
my main thrust will lie. A new semester is upon
us! Class organization and rampant intellectualism
needs to be curbed! The need for this muse has
never been greater!"
WiJ) The State live up to its boasts? Can
The State really revitalize Parkside and its laggard
newspaper? Detractors and Terrorists alike have
reportedly scoffed at such claims, calling them 'exaggerated',
but given the State's prior accomplishments,
we believe The State will succeed.
"The Stare does no! apologi:e.
Artist Admits She is a Fraud
Chicago, lL - In a press conference earlier this week
rising contemporary artist Isabel Pintora, admitted
that the majority of her work was done by nonsensical
guessing and just "slopping gobs of whatever
color was near" admits Pintora.
Pintora was scheduled to have an exhibition
of her paintings in the Chicago Art Museum, and
was slatted to embark on lecturing at local universities.
All of this came to a halt Tuesday as 32-year
old Pintora addressed the press and her small artist
following.
She said, "I used to consider myself a neoexpressionist
painter with a De Stijl flare, but that is
Parkside Begins New
Semester, Death Lottery
Kenosha. WI - January has seen the birth of a new
Spring semester at UW Parkside. Each Spring semester
leaves its own signature on the history of the
Wisconsin university, and this year will be no different.
The boldest change this semester, the weekly
death lottery, has piqued the interest of students
and faculty alike. "1 think it would be a really nice
way of reducing congestion in the hallways," says
science professor Luke Tuttle. "Sure, it's only one
person a week, but every little bit helps."
The death lottery will work based off of
another new set of ID numbers. as the administration
felt there were not enough ID numbers in use
already. A computer program will randomly generate
ID numbers each week. Mode of execution will
be chosen by the winner, but the administration has
promised to set some general boundaries.
Students seem to be largely open to the
idea. "It seems like there's some real potential for
mishaps, but it could be kind of exciting," says senior
Andrew Twerm. "It'll be like reality TV right on our
own campus -- 'who'll get picked next""
"Will they rry to run like On Logan's Run?"
adds friend Jimmy Read. "Can you imagine a death
squad chas.ing after people who tried to ditch out
on their execution? I think we'd all cheer the death
squad on. That's one great thing about Parkside;
we're all about fairness. Listen, if your number gets
picked, don't be a sore loser. Take the death squad
like a mann
just crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. For example my paintings
'Cosmic Tuna' and 'Journey to the Center of My
Lonely Vagina' are just triangles and circles haphazardly
placed upon a canvas. And the sculpture I did
entitled 'Tortured Starlight' I pretty much made that
with glitter and a rusty street sign."
As to why she came clean with this sudden
confession amidst the newfound rising fame, Pintora
said "I felt an enormous amount of guilt and 1 felt
that I needed to cleanse my spiritual canvas so that I
might start anew on artistic endeavors. Plus you can
only get away with painting triaugles for so long and
still be considered a serious artist."

StraightMan Admits
Attraction to Brad Pitt
Racine, WI - Leonard Dupri, a resident of Raine,
admitted yesterday that he would "take it
cn
the ass from Brad Pitt." Dupri, a 27 year old
~uUfiUmentspecialist for Morton Systems, Inc.
made this admission while out drinking with
several friends. The five of them had been at
theAngry Troll Pub for three hours, drinking
anddiscussing the merits of various local and
national sports teams when the conversation
[umedto their favorite films.
David Jefferson, one of the five,
claims Randy Wilcox was the one who
switched gears, "He said he loved Rudy, then
everyone just started talking about movies."
Atpress time, Wilcox was still unavailable for
commenl.
In a brief phone interview, Dupri declined
to confirm his admission, saying only
thathe'd had eight beers and was "totally plastered"
Jefferson claims Dupri had only had
five,saying, "I should know, it was my night
10 pick up the tab."
Plumber Knows It Was Porn
That Clogged The Toilet .CORRCcnOllS
WilmOI, WI - The apartment of Isaac Fredericksen, a
residentofWilmOl in Kenosha County, was paid a visit
by a local plumber Tuesday after the toilet overflowed,
soaking the carpet all the way to the couch. The call
was placed between 7 and 7:30 PM to PJ WaterWorks
Plumbing, and a representative was sent immediately.
Fredericksen reportedly answered the door nervously,
shuffled the plumber into the bathroom hastily and
seemed overall anxious for him to fix the problem and
leave. After several vain attempts to flush the toilet, a
drain snake was used and a pulpy mass was extracted.
The fixture immediately flushed.
"He had me throw the thing away real quick
so I couldn't see what it was," reports Bud Dower,
the plumber who performed the extraction. "But I've
done enough house calls to know that weren't no wad
ofTP.lain'tone to judge, so I don't ever say anything,
but I always know."
Fredericksen, visibly relieved, thanked Dower
and pushed him out the door after over-paying him
by five dollars. The sound of a dehumidifier could
then be heard through the wall.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editors of The State, To Whom ItMay Concern,
In reference to the state's volume 2
issue 4; r don't think you dumb asses know
what's really real. Your feeble attempt to
correctthe misspelling of the word defecate
made me laugh.
The word shit is derived from the
acronym Stow Hi In Tight. When shipping
manure on ships the stuff had to be
Stored High In Tight to avoid getting wet
and stinking to high heaven. This tenn has
nothing to do with defecate. It does however,
directly reJate to bovine defecations.
Sincerely,
Richard Hertz
Well, my dear sir, it seems you have made a small error. As a true
seafaring man would know, the acronym was actually S.H.A.T. for Stow
High And Tight. Also, it had nothing to do with mannre.
This acronym was most commonly found on boxes containing
Ukranlan kumquats, as they were rare and considered extremely precious
in the days of sailing vessels. When one considers the treacherous route
any sailingship wonld have to travel to reach the Ukraine, the value of this
commodity is clear.
In addition, the weather in the Ukraine was infamously harsh on
the kumquat harvest, causing each year's yield to be depressingly small.
The few farmers who bred this crop were often found dead from suicide.
This led to a snperstition in the region that the kumquats themselves led to
the death of the farmers.
Itis from this superstition that we receive the saying "Fate of the
Ukranian Kumquat Dead," now often abbreviated to "FUCKED."
Sincerely,
The State

Roundy's Night Manager, Beautician
IHave you been to Blockbuster lately? What a trendy new scheme they have
Igoing! As I'm sure you know. figuring out a fair, unbiased late payment scheme
that makes one money is tough. Should it be based on how much the original
rental was for, based on the amount of days late, or just one flat fee? And calll'ng
to remind people to bring back the only copy of Rocky XXXIV - What a
nightmare! But Blockbuster bas solved all these dilemmas with its new campaign:
'The End of Late Fees, The Start of More'.
Think about it! They've been trying oh so hard for so long to make up
for the loss of money from late fees. Remember that whole' more choices' thing
last year? That obviously didn't work. But they finally Hit upon the solution.
Eliminating late fees altogether, and replacing it with more! Blockbuster's new
Policy is bloody fantastic! It doesn't matter that it's costing me more money to

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

A Tribute to
Katherine E. Jensen
By Emily Rasbornik
Katherine E. Jensen, 22
unexpectedly passed away on October 9,
2003 as a result of a tragic car accident. She
was born in Racine on August 7, 1981. 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.

GIVE LIFE
GIVE PLASMA
Prior to the Impeachment trial of Kyle Kellogg in early October, Senator Mo~re ~nnounced to the senate
that he would no longer be working with PSGA. Senator Moore proceeded to distribute a letter to the Senators
asking for his acceptance back into PSGA. On October 10, 2003, Sen. Moore was presented to the Senate

as a possible candidate for the SUFAC director position. . . , .
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.

Other Issues In PSGA ...
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. Get involved by visiting
the PSGA office located in Wyllie D 139A.

"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.

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.

forum for opinions and do not

I got money from my mom without asking
The NEW Ranger OneCard and OneAccount
Chris Laconte, a student whose university got the new OneCard and OneAccount last year explains all the benefits
What-up. 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.

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

-..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

taking at least six credits. Well, I'm not taking any credi
- I audit courses. So I told them I wasn't eligible, but it
would've been an interesting experience and I appreciate
that some of the students actually wanted me to try and
invited me." 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

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."

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.

UW-Parkside Improves
Student, Faculty
Financial Services PEACE OF MINDI
By Dave Buchanan
To better serve its students, faculty, and staff, Parkside has contracted
with Higher One to provide financial services. The new system will
provide easy access to a variety of customized banking services simply by
using the Ranger Card.
Starting in January 2004, the Ranger Card will function as a MasterCard
Check Card, which is accepted by more than 24 million merchant~
worldwide. It can serve as a primary bank account, allowing cardholders
to get cash from ATMs, write checks, send and receive money electronically
from their accounts and monitor their account online.
Students can receive their financial aid funds and payroll checks
through this new system. It can be used to fund a student's meal plan and
to add or with drawl money from a "Bear bucks" account. The card will
I automatically be offered as a benefit of enrollment at UW-Parkside.
"We are pleased with this arrangement, which is yet another innovative
way of serving our students," said UW-Parkside Chancellor John~-
I Keating. "UW-Parkside has been a leader in change for higher education
I and this arrangement is a good fit for us." ' .
Higher One is a financial services company focused exclusively _on
creating customized solutions for high education institutions. Through its I association with Higher One, UW-Parkside expects increased efficiency
and cost savings.

For one of the first times
in my life, I can actually enjoy
being a Cubs fan. 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.
Reigel is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and his all-time
favorite coach is Joe Paterno of Penn State. His favorite
NBA Team is the Boston Celtics and his favorite player is
Lany Bird.
Degree in secondary education from UW-Platteville.
He played basketball for NCAA Division III powerhouse
UW-Platteville and helped compile a phenomenal
record of 75-9 and was a part of two NCAA national
~hampionship teams. Thirty-year-old Regel, is also an
mstructor m a sports psychology class and teaches two
other classes during the spring semester. Regel was a high
school assistant coach for two years, head coach of Platteville
High School for one year, and an assistant at UWPlatteville
for two years, making this his ninth year coaching.
Reigel played his high school basketball under head
coach, Tom, who just happens to be his father. He helped
that team to go 27-0 and win a state championship.
F~r the past fifteen years as a player and coach, he has
compiled an overall record 277-75, which includes seven
conference championships, two national titles and a state
~ti<~. When ask~d how_ this year's team woutct'approach
.1e1r games, Reigel said, "We're going to have a lot of
oughness. We're going to be a hard-nosed blue-collar
team. We will try to be the toughest team i~ the league."
The team has seven players who started at least one game
last season and will be returning this season.
The t?p three thing Coach Regel wants his players to
accomplish are:

Reigel enjoys coaching because he is out on the court
interacting with people and teaching the game of basketball
to young people that want to learn, and the chance to
compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference which
according to Reigel, "Has the best teams in Di~ision Il."
The next topic that we spoke about was attendance at
the team's games. "I encourage students to come out to
the ~ and_ to_ take adva~tage of being in college, as
you re only m 1t once," said Reigel. 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. He is hopeful
that people are going to be excited about both the men and
women's basketball teams this season. !'We're going to be
fun to watch," said Reigel. 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." "Every time a
Ranger player steps on the floor they're going to try to out
work the opponent," said Reigel.
W~en asked for one thing that nobody here at UWParks1de
currently kn?ws about him, Coach Reigel said
that he has been to thirty or forty concerts including Tom

university well. We're going to play with a lot of class.
We're going to be unselfish and play as a team. I hope
that everybody on campus is excited about this season

exclaimed Reigel.

Men's Rugby Team is Victorious
By Andy Coppens
On Saturday October 4, 2003 the UW-Parkside Men's Rugby Club had its first victory of the season with
a final score of 33-31 over UW-Platteville. The win was even more impressive because Platteville had
home field advantage.
The t~am le? by the two converted tries (the rugby equivalent of a touchdown) by Jon Hubbard. However,
the \)lggest impact on the game was Matt Hasen bush who made four out of five conversion kicks worth
two pomts each.
Congratulations to the Rugby Club on its first victory of the season. The team greatly appreciates and
encourages all student support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

r-____________'_D_ e__a,: r_ ! Emi(y ... By: Emily Wood
))ear Emily,
I am a ~ourth _year bio major; I still need a couple zillion more credits so I won't be
~duatmg !his year. Wh_eo I was a freshman _I yea~e~ for a challenge and thought a
sc1e~ce maJor wo_uld sati~fy me. ! aced c~em1stry m high school and have an interest
in biology so a B1oche~mstry maJor (a mix between the two) was decided. 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. While you have your schedule
book out, maybe an appointment with a chemistry tutor would help ... or a psychiatrist.

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. Your advisor is the one you should be asking for advice, not me.
Do you have question that you need answered, but cant afford
to pay those greedy professionals at the Psychic Friends Network?

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.

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.

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.
