dent Katherine C. Lyall was dis-
gruntled by the decision.
"I'm disappointed that the
board decided to repeal the rule,"
commented Lyall in an interview
in the Milwaukee Sentinel, "but we
are not going to letup in our efforts
to protect our students from ha-
rassment"
Lyall added that options that
could be considered in the future
include: allowing deans on indi-
vidual campuses to penalize stu-
dents who use offensive speech;
turning violators over to the court
system; and discouraging such be-
havior through student orientation
programs.
Anthony Brown, Director of
the UW
-Parkside
Center for Edu-
cational and Cultural Advance-
rnent,
believes the Board of Re-
gents is merely "hiding behind"
the free speech issue.
"There are some things that
you can't say in public," said
Brown, "whetheryouhavetheright

·"Having a discussion about
race, heritage or sexual orienta-
tion in a group to understand one
another is one thing," commented
Brown, "but to deliberately insult
someone - I think that's getting
too carried away."
.
Chancellor Sheila Kaplan
feels confidcnt that the
removal
of the hate speech language will
not mean offenders will now go
unpunished.
"We already have, in UWS
17, sufficient authority to be re-
sponsive to abusive behavior, and
we have taken action before on
this campus," noted Kaplan. "The
repeal of the hate speech lan-
guage simply means that we will
continue to take action, except
we'll take it under the other pro-
visions of UWS
17.
"We continue to have
suffi-
cient authority undercurrent state
and system policies and legisla-
tion to provide for an atmosphere
of stability and tolerance," con-
cluded Kaplan.

Clinton economic plan discussed via satellite
Dennis Clarke
News Editor
A video town hall meeting
sponsored by the Democratic
Party of Wisconsin linked voters
from nine locations throughout
Wisconsin last Thursday night,
including about 80 people at the
UW-Parkside Communicatipn
Arts
Theatre.
The
forum,
entitled "Puuing
People
First,"
dealt with Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee Bill
Clinton's economic plan for the
nation.
Panelists included: U.S.
Senator Bill Bradley, D-New Jer-
sey; Governor David Walters of
Oklahoma; and U.S. Congres-
sional
nominees
Peg
LaUlenschlager and TO(jlBarrett,
both from Wisconsin. Walters,
Lautenschlager and Barrett were
in Milwaukee; Bradley joined the
conversation from Washington,
D.C.
"This is an auernpt to break
open the political process, get
away from the soundbites and
paid advertising, and have a su~-
stantive discussion on
economic
issues within the context of the
fall campaign," commented Jeff
Neubauer, chairman of the Demo-
cratic Party of Wisconsin, at the
program's outset
After
the hour-long statewide
program ended, local labor and po-
litical leaders stayed on to discuss
various other issues brought up by
the audience.
Although there was some dis-
cussion on issues such as racial har-
. mony and drug use among youth,
most of the
statewidediscussion
dealt
with economic issues.
Panelists outlined what the
Democratic Party feels needs to be
done
to
help the econom y. and how
the Bush administration has failed
to
address economic issues.
"We need to recognize that there
is a need for change." commented
Lautenschlager, a candidate from
Wisconsin's 6th Congressional Dis-
trict
"We need
to
recognize the con-
cerns of working families and focus
on issues like the budget deficit, re-
building America, and investing in
out children and in education.
"We need to look at health care,
which is a fundamental portion of
that puzzle that allows us
to
experi-
ence economic growth," continued
Lautenschlager.
"It's time to return to an
economy where we stress produc-
tion and not simply profits for a
very few."
GovernorWallers told the au-
dience that voters should support
Clinton because he has a plan for
the economy, and Bush does not.
"At least we have a plan." said
Walters. "When you don't have a
focus, there's not much you can
do."
Barrett, a candidate from the
5th Congressional District, also
commented on Bush's ineffective-
ness.
"Little has been done." said
Barrett of the Bush presidency.
"The

dent
four years ago
prom-
ised
to

dent, but didn't really do anything
there. He promised to be the edu-
cation president, but didn't per-
fonm there.
"He doesn't seem to really be
in the swing of things," said Barrett.
"Bush views the central cities as
foreign countries rather than for-
eign counuies as
foreign
countries."

We are the Champions!
Soccer men win conferencelhost NCAAD2 plaJoff SaturdaJ
The UW-Parkside men's soccer team
won the Great Lake Valley Conference
(GLVC)title with three tournament victories,
including a 2-0 win in the championship
game Sunday against Quincy
College. Coach Rick Kill's' team now
takes a shot at the national title starting
with a home NCAA Division ITplayoff
game Saturday.
As has been the case all season, the
Rangers relied on the goalkeeping
magic of Thorn Peer, a stingy defense,
and clutch goal scoring to win the title
for the first time after six consecutive
trips to the GLVC Final Four. Peer
stopped five shots Sunday to record his
NCAA Division IT record 17th shutout
of the season. The whitewash lowered
his nation-leading goals against average
to 0.23. UW-Parkside has allowed five
goals in 21 games.
The clutch goal scoring on Sunday
came from Casey Pawlak who tallied
with help from Seth Pearson at the 15-
minute mark of the title game. Adam
Chwala then added an unassisted insurance
goal at 44 minutes to secure the
title-winning victory.
Afterward, Coach Kill'S sounded
relieved to have the championship.
"We've gone to the well six times
now. If we'd come home empty again,
1 don't know what would be next,"
Kill'S told the Racine Journal Times.
"Tills year's team was very deserving.
They played exceptionally well this
weekend."
What's next for the Rangers is an
NCAA Division II tournament game
against GLVC rival Lewis University.
The game will be played Saturday,
Nov. 11 starting at 1 p.m. at Wood
Road Field.
The Rangers had to play almost as
well as they did Sunday just to reach
the championship game. The march to
the title began with a hard fought 2-0
win over Northern Kentucky on
Wednesday, Nov. 1. Raymond James
scored the winning goal with 4:05 left
in the game with assists by Mike
Samer and Bill Weidel. Weidel then
added an insurance goal with 37 seconds
left, and UW-Parkside earned a
trip to Romeoville, Ill., for the GLVC
Final Four.
GOAL! Northern Kentucky's goalkeeper can only watch as a shot by the
Ranger's Raymond James, in white second from right, hits the back of the net.

On Saturday, Nov. 4, Dan de Sf.
Aubin scored in the 47th minute and
Peer was peerless in goal in a 1-0 win
over top-seeded Lewis University.
Then Peer, and the nation's topranked
defense NCAA Division II
defense4 brought the title home.
"We played ferocious defense," said
Kill'S. "We couldn't have done any
more then ....we did."

~ Secretarv of Education leads UWP Rallv for Gorellieberman ticket
By Sarah Olsen
"Everybody is into the business of
education," said US Education
Secretary Richard Riley, pictured at
left, Thursday at the uw-Parkside
Communication Arts Theatre. Riley
visited the campus as a stop on a final
campaign tour to rally support for
Democrats Al Gore and Joe Lieberman.
Also in attendance and speaking to
support Gore / Lieberman was Bob
WirCh, 22nd District State Senator.
"Today we have both candidates
talking about education, and both of
them are indicating that certainly education
is a priority" says Riley. The
"Texas Miracle," according to Riley, is
the "myth" Governor Bush has built
his campaign on. "Believe me" said
Riley, "there is no miracle happening
there. All of education [performance]
is up and so is Texas."
Riley states that SAT scores in Texas
have dropped 3 points during the
period Governor Bush has been in
office, while SAT scores nationally
have increased by 9 points. "If [Texas]
is a miracle, the country is a miracle,"
says Riley.
Governor Bush claims that the
United States is in an education recession,
according to Riley.
"There is not an education recession.
The idea that there is some kind of
slump or recession-I disagree," he
said. To disprove the second "myth"
of an education recession, Riley stated
that every test administered nationally
has shown significant increases in
reading and math skills in 4th, 8th,
and 12th grades with more students
finishing high school and college.
Riley says Al Gore is a strong
believer in the federal government
having a part in education.
"The federal government has a very
important role to have priorities that
are national in nature, such as our current
goal to have smaller class size for
those early years when a child is learning
how to read, after-school programs,
instruction programs, leaving
the control in the local and - state
schools," said Riley.
Gore proposes to increase support
programs for college, increase support
of work-study, support the Hope
scholarship, and support tax deductions
for tuition up to $10,000 per person.
"1 have known Al Gore for a number
of years and I tell you this: he is a _
person of good, strong character. Hehas
high values. 1 am certain that you
can be very proud of Al Gore as
President and Joe Lieberman as VicePresident,"
Riley stated.

New librarv Reading Room Opens
. ByLisaWhitcomb
,
~,
I
!
I,
This semester, the UW-Parkside
library has begun to reconstruct the
reference area to make that section
more comfortable and home-like for the
students. About three weeks ago, the
Friends' Reading Room opened with
the arrival of some great, overstuffed
chairs, a sofa, and some end tables,
which were largely financed by the
Friends of the Library. Friends is a nonrrofit
organization that raises funds for
thelibrary to help buy needed materials
that the library normally could not purchase
for itself. Among other wonderful
things, they also frequently bring in
guest speakers to enricli students' education
experience.
The lounge is open to anyone during
regular library hours and students are
welcome to bring drinks or snacks into
the area while they read and study.
Dina Kaye, library liaison to Friend's
of the Library said the idea for the
lounge began, "Over a year ago. We
decided that we wanted to rearrange
and redesign the whole reference area.
We are also going to be adding more
computers and rearranging that section
to make it more user-friendly. Wewanted
to make a Barnes and Noble-type
lounge where students could come and
be comfortable."

The project is a work in progress,
and the work is slated to be finished
by spring 2001. Other plans for the
section include lowering the shelves,
so students do not feel boxed in,
homey things like pictures and knickknacks,
and more comfortable chairs.
In the spring, the library plans to have
an dedication of the space and a
plaque made at that time.
On Nov. 15, 16, & 17 the Friends of
the Library will be holding their
annual book sale. The sale will run
Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
at the upper Main Place concourse.
All books cost between $1 and
$1.50, and special items will be up for
auction. This is how the organization
raises a lot of its funds, which purchase
things like the new Friends'
Reading Room. UW-Parkside students
are encouraged to come and browse
through the selections that have been
donated for the sale.
Buying just one book is a great way
to say thanks to the Friends of the
Library for all of their support. For
more information on upcoming
library functions, or the Friends of the
Library go to UW-Parkside's homepage
and look under the library heading.
UW-Parkside student Jenny Weis relaxes while stUdyingin the new Friends' of
the Library Reading Room. The space is meant to give students comfortable
place to read and study. The room is now open for student use with further
improvements-pictures, knick-knacks and still more comfy chairs-to be added
soon. The Reading Room was made possible by events likethe annual Friends'
of the Librarybook sale which willtake place next week. Photo by Sarah Olsen.
Who has vour name and address;»
Addressing the issue of student information
By Gina Ciardo
"As a student at UW-Parkside,
now you can build a solid credit history
with your own Discover Card!"
That's fantastic, but how did they
get your information? How did they
know that you attend UW-Parkside?
Does the school make money off your
directory information?
"Absolutely never is a student's
personal information given out to any
kind of marketing organization at all,"
states Cynthia Jenson, the assistant
director at the Office of Admissions.
She adds, "I can guarantee you that
the there is no list of specifics. It's
public information. Directory information
includes things like a student's
name, address, telephone number,
e-mail address, date and place of
birth, major field of study, participation
in activities and sports, degrees and
awards received, dates of attendance,
recent schools attended, and even the
height and weight of athletes .. Any of
this information can be obtamed by
outside sources.
All requests for directory information
go through Tonya Hanson,
assistant registrar at the Office of th.e
Registrar. She req~ures that all orgaruzations
and agenCIesaskmg for directory
information provide their
requests in writing. Hanson's
requests range from high schools
wanting information about alumni to
the U.S. Navy. Often times, perspective
employers ask for a list of students
in a certain fields of study.
Other times, insurance companies
verify a student's academic status for
purposes of "good student" discounts.
Hanson has no record of a request
from Discover Financial Services.
If the university isn't involved,
how is Discover getting this information?
When Discover was initially
contacted they claimed to obtain student
names from mailing lists provided
by three major credit bureaus,
Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union.
Sometimes agencies already have lists .
of people on whom they want a credit
history, Other times credit bureaus
will generate a list for the agency.
Dave Mooney, director of Public
Relations at the Equifax corporate
headquarters in Atlanta was the only
one to return my calls. Equifax has
credit files on 190 million Americans.
That's virtually every adult in the
country.
Mooney explains that although
Equifax is able to generate lists of
names using zip codes and other criteria,
it would be impossible for them
to create a list of people who attend a
specific school.
He stated that a person's university
might appear on a credit file under
the heading "employer," but those
cases are extremely rare.
"The list wasn't generated from us or
other credit bureaus. [Discover] came to
us with a list," he assures.
Since the information Discover
obtained is public information, they
may have received it from various
sources. Discover might have called the
university and requested one of the
school's directory publications. They
might have gone to UW-Parkside's web
page and utilized the directory there. It
is also possible that one of the organizations
that received free information
though the Office of the Registrar could
have turned around and sold it to someone
else. As of yet, Discover has not
returned any calls regarding this.
Students concerned with the utilization
of their directory information can
get a "Request to Withhold Student
Information" form at the Student
Records Office.
"I really caution people not to do
that," states Hanson. She is concerned
students doing so will miss valuable
opportunities from area employers and
oilier such agencies. Once students fill
.out the form, UW-Parkside needs a written
statement from them releasing their
information every time someone
requests it. As yet, there's no way for
the Office of the Registrar to distinguish
who gets the information and who does
not according to an individuals wishes.

Anyone who works or lives with
teens will find the symposium going
on today and tomorrow at UWParkside
valuable and perhaps necessary
in helping them detect warning signs
of at risk adolescent behavior. Being
held in the UW-Parkside Union
Cinema Theater, it is titled Kids, Cults,
Guns, Gangs, and Violence.
Margaret Gename, director of Youth
Programs and symposium coordinator
stated, "This [program] is based upon
all the violence that is happening within
the community."
The goal of the program is to arm
parents, youth development professionals,
educators, counselors, law
enforcement agents, psychologists,
and clergy, with the knowledge
needed to identify warning signs
present in adolescents at risk of partaking
in violent or occult organization.
WIPZ prepares to rock Internet
tion, the listening audience of WIPZ's
web broadcast can be counted without

assistance, but it is expected that the
station broadcast will be available on

On another note, WIPZ is still
welcoming volunteers: Any students
interested in volunteenng should visit
Molinaro 0131 either during the week
or at the station's Wednesday meeting
at noon.
Any student organizations interested
in publicizing an event or activity is
encouraged to contact the station. With
the upcoming Internet broadcast, WIPZ
will De able to reach a wider listening
audience.

In its first step in broadcastmg far
beyond the campus boundaries,
WIPZ, UW-Parkside's student-dnven
station will soon be heard on the
Internet. This will mark another leap
forward for WIPZ in its progress from
a storage space in the. Union to. an
active college station With a growmg
number of volunteers and community
support. .
'Internet broadcasting will benefit
WIPZ in a number of ways. The
broadcasting WIPZ does on 101.7 FM
is not limitless by any means. An

Flu Vaccine Shortage Affecting UW-Parkside Students
By Julie Thompson
Don't let the cycle of mild weather
fool you. Although, the weather
throughout southeastern Wisconsin has
been mild, flu season is approaching
quickly. Unfortunately, like the rest of
the nation, UW-Parkslde students will
feel the effects of the flu vaccine shortage.
Director of Student Health and
Counseling Services, Michaelina Young,
has been issuing e-mails to students and
faculty members with updates on the
vaccine shortage.
The first e-mail was issued in
September, with a glimmer of hope
that UW-Parkside would receive 16%
of the shipment by rnrd-October; 58%
in November and the balance in
December. But, October has come and
gone and the staff at Student Health
and Counseling Services is still waiting.
Since the vaccine is effective 75% of
the time, those who are high-risk
should receive the vaccine as soon as
it is available. People who are considered
high risk are those who have
depressed immune systems, the
elderly (65 or older), have respiratory
problems, and those who have occupations
that put them at risk, such as
health care workers. People who are
not at risk are asked to wait until the
shortage is over, allowing those who
need it most the opportunity to avoid
complications associated with the flu.
In the meantime, Michaelina
Young said, "Practice habits that help
to avoid catching or spreading the flu
and common cold: wash your hands
often, cover your mouth when you
cough, and don't share food and
drinks."
With any luck, UW-Parkside will be
receiving partial shipment soon.
According to a brochure from Student
Heath and Counselinf( Services, !yJJical
flu symptoms include muscle aches,
fever and chills, headache, dry cough,
and weakness.

UWP students prep for Hunger
Strike Nov. 15
UW-Parkside graduating communication
students will stage Hunger Strike
2000, an event to help the homeless,

Union. They will raise money through
pledges for each pin knocked down and
fhrough general donations. Non-perishable
food will be collected at that time.
At 9 p.m., the event moves outside.
Senior Seminar students will sleep
outdoors to simulate the harsh conditions
that face the homeless and to
raise awareness of the less fortunate.
"There are hungry ,People in southeastern
Wisconsin,' said Senior
Seminar class member Michaela
Gaines. "These people need of our
help. Any support people at UWParkside
and ill the community can
give us is appreciated."

National Homeless Awareness Week.
Along with food and money, Senior
Seminar class members will make a
personal commitment to the homeless
by donating a minimum of 20 volunteer
hours per person to the Shalom
Center.
Remarkable Computer Programmers
<> train at UW-Parkside
by Dan Frake
Earlier this year, UW Parkside
Professor of Math Don Piele and a
group of four high school students from
across the U.S. competed in Beijing,
China at the International Olympiad on
Informatics (101). They came away with
a few medals and a sense of having
accomplished something truly
admirable.
Prior to 1992, Professor Piele was the
organizer of a nation-wide competition
called USACO, a competition here in the
u.s. for high school computer programmers.
Then, in 1992, Professor Piele
learned of the 101 and the rest, as they
say, is history.
Ever since 1992, Professor Piele has
been taking his teams all over the world
for 101 competitions. This year's competition,
in China, turned out to be the
most successful to date. You may ask,
though, how do computer programmers
compete?
The premise of such competitions as
USACO and 101 is fairly simple:
Students are given problems and then
tested on their ability to solve them. The
only difference between them solving the
problems and other less-advanced people
IS that we use pencil and paper while
they use computers and deal with algorithms
to solve their problems. This
does not include writing applications,
but rather involves creating programs
using codes that solve the problems,
and then testing those programs with
different sets of data. Speed and accuracy
are the key.
Sounds a little advanced, doesn't it?
Well, to the participants in these competitions,
it's just another day trying to
make their programs just a little faster in
order to gain the ed~ over other programs.
The fact that the participants for
these competitions are high school students
is remarkable in and of itself.
What's even more spectacular, however,
is that this group of "the best and the
brightest of our nation," according to
Piele, meet right here at UWP for
training once a year. Forget MIT or
Stanford. The training grounds for some
of the smartest kids in the U.S. is here.
Every year, on-line tests and school
administered tests are taken around
the country to determine the top 15
programmers. Then, for one week,
those 15 students are brought to UWp,
all expenses paid, for an intensive
training regime. Students are tested in
their experience of solving problems,
taught the best strategies, and given
presentations on various techniques.
In addition, they spend some free time
playing disc golf and visiting Great
America.
Then, at the end of the week, the
top four students are selected to
accompany Professor Piele to
whichever country the 101 is being
held in that particular year. From
there, they travel to that country for
another all-expenses paid week competing
against the best and the brightest
of the world.
USACO is a national competition
headed by Professor Piele. They hold
many competitions throughout the
year. For more information, you can
go to www.usaco.org. There, you can
find information on the US team,
details about its various competitions,
details on the 101, and an archive of
photos from the training camp and the
competition in China. For additional
photos, you can go to www.zing.com
and select the "albums" menu, and
type in ioi 2000 or usaco 2000.
Again, congratulations to Professor
Piele and his team for a job well-done
in representing the u.s. overseas once
again.

DeWitt named GLUe coach of the vear
By Zach Robertson
Inhis 20th season as coach of the UWParkside
women's cross country team,
MikeDeWitt has won his second conference
championship, and was named
GLVCcoach of the year. DeWitt won his
first conference title in 1995.He was also
named coach of the year that season.
After guiding his runners to a win at
the conference meet, and leading them
through a season that saw only one loss,
the rest of the league had no problem
giving him this award. .
"It's nice that the other coaches in the
conference recognize that we had a
good year. To me, it's not an important
thmg, but it's definitely an honor, and
something I don't look lightly at," said
DeWitt.
DeWitt credited his teams success to
the consistency his runners showed all
year.
"We had a real solid group, with
everyone hitting their average time,"
said DeWitt. "This team has been really
good in that aspect, being able to know
what they're going to do in every race."
With all but three members of the
team back next year, DeWitt is looking
for another great season from his runners
next year.
"That's one thing about distance
running, you tend to get better every
year", said DeWitt.
DeWitt also hopes this will help
bring more attention to UW-Parkside
sports.
"1 think one of the things the university
is trying to do is get more of an
athletic identity for the whole place.
Hopefully, this shows that the university
is heading in the right direction
for all sports," he said.
The team now heads for the nationals
in Pomona, Cal., after placing fourth
in the Regional meet last Saturday, in
Ashland, Ohio.
DeWitt felt strongly that his young
team would run well at the regional
meet.
"It will take our best race of the
year to do it," he said before the race.
"Every girl has to do her part."
UWP women's CC goes national
With Amber Antonia leading the
pack, the UW-Parkside women's cross
country team is on its way to the NCAA
Division II nationals in Pomona, Cal.,
on Saturday, Nov. 18. Coach Mike
DeWitt's team secured the fourth and
final berth by capturing fourth place at
the regional meet in Ashland, Ohio, last
Saturday.
Antonia won the individual title by
crossing the finish line with a time of
21:54,six seconds ahead of the second
place finisher. UW-Parkside's Erin
Enright finished in 17th place, exactly
one minute behind Antonia, while
Janna Weeden finished 20th with a
time of 22:55.
The Ranger men finished in eighth
place with a team total of 218. Davey
Place was the Rangers tor runner, finishing
in 18th place with a time of
32:49.
Congratulations to coach DeWitt
and the UW-Parkside women's cross
country team, and good luck at the
nationals!
. If last !h~rsday' s exhibition game
IS any indication, UW-Parkside's
opponents better bring their track
shoes when they play the Ranger
men's basketball team. Coach Jeff
Rutter's team used a high-octane
offense to go along with a tight defense
to blast Coach Rudy's All-Stars 88-70at
the De Simone Gymnasium.
Led by the outside shooting of
Brian Coffman, who had 17 points, the
Rangers used quick strikes down the
floor by Marlon Grice and Tom BeJlino
to get Rudy Collum's team on its heels.
That left Coffman open for repeated
three-point shots. Kevin Carp chipped
in 13 and Quincey Momen contributed
12 including a tli.underous slam dunk
that measured on the Richter scale in
downtown Kenosha. Nick Knuth
cleared eight rebounds.
Although Coach Rudy's team won
the opening tip, that was about the
only tbing that went right for them in
the first half. Made up of former college
players mainly from Racine, the
All-Stars fell behind early and finished
to half trailing UW-Parkside 44-25.
After trailing by more than 30 in the
second half, the All-Stars showed some
pride and took advantage of the
Rangers' less experienced players to get
the deficit under 20 by tli.e final hom.
Marcus West and Brad Kellner led
Coach Rudy's with 12 points. Hayes
Ford had 11 and seven rebounds.
The Rangers not only showed they'll
be fast but also that they'll be feisty this
year. Tom BeJlino refused to be intimidated
when West, formerly of
Marquette University, got physical late
in tli.e second half. Both players were
given fouls after exchanging elbows.
Coach Rutter said lie was pleased
with the game, adding there were plenty
of things to work on before the
Rangers could consider themselves
favorites for the NCAA Division II title.
The next step on the road the Final Four
comes on Saturday. The Rangers host an
exhibition game against Las Vegas
Funjet at 8 p.m. in the De Simone
Gymnasium.
Fans can preview the 2000-2001UWParkside
women's basketball team on
Saturday. Coach Paulette Stein's squad
plays an exhibition against Odyssey
starting at 6J.m. UW-Parkside students
are admitte free to all games. _Tickets
are $5 for adults, and $1 for high school
students and children 14 years of age
and under.
Women's team reaches finals
It took the biggest upset of the
Great Lakes Valley Conference
(GLVC) tournament to get there, but
the UW-Parkside women's soccer
team was at Northern Kentucky last
weekend for the conference finals. The
Rangers, who came in as the number
seven seed, beat number two-seed
SIU-Edwardsville at Edwardsville,
Ill., to advance before being eliminated
by Missouri-St Louis 4-1 on
Saturday, Nov. 4.
Getting there was definitely part of
the fun. Not only did coaeli Troy
Fabiano's team beat SIU-Edwardsville
on their horne field, they shut them out
in the process. While goalkeeper
Marissa Monroe-DeVita refused to
allow a goal, Byranna [urvis scored
two and the team had its ticket
punched for the Final Four.
After eliminating UW-Parkside in
Saturday's semi-finals, UMSL was
then defeated by host Northern
Kentucky 4-1 in Sunday's championship
game.
UW-Parkside ends the season with
an overall record of 11 wins, six loses,
and two ties. Congratulations to the
women's soccer team on a great season!

Controversial Improvement
by Tyrone A Payton
I can't put into words the incessant
arguing I heard Tuesday, Oct. 17. All I
heard was formal bickering issued by
my fellow man that night. Not one single
speaker could go undaunted by the
accusations of another. I heard
adamant opinions and progression
wane on a topic that is not only rarely
discussed, but is often regarded as an
abhorrent subject to be spoken of at any
table: the tender issue ofhomosexuality
and religion.
UW-Parkside's Gay and Lesbian
Organization (GLO) discussion group
organizer, Joey Lalor, orchestrated the
gathering for the guest speaker on this
topic, the Rev. Tony Larsen. At the
beginning of the meeting, the Rev.
Larsen declared that he would be
speaking of this questionable venture
through a Christian / Judaic perspective
in all due respect to other religions or
creeds, and that he wanted to highlight
three passages in the Bible that only
specified the plausibility of homosexuality.
He wouldn't get that far; the
ceaseless noise entreated.
From the initiation of the conference,
I tallied ten students to subtract that
number to seven by the time of adjourning
of my peers.. Of the remaining
seven, including myself, I felt the
wedge that was apparent from the start
drive deeper between two sets of three
speakers. It was a vocal war in the
upstairs library with three for freedom
to live with being who you are and
three with restraining the questionable
sin of homosexuality.
The Rev. Larsen initially made his
foreknowledge known by indicating
that the Old Testament of the Bible
had no reference to lesbianism, but
indicated in Leviticus 18:22 "Thou
shalt not lie with mankind as with
womankind: it is abomination."
He then said the Bible said man
cannot eat meat or burn incense, or
paint a picture, for it would be a sin.
Although, he spoke of them, he never
informed on their citations in the
Bible, yet I'm no one to research such a
burdening topic, so I believed him and
respected his ordained knowledge.
The discussion barely commenced
past this point when the first intrusion
occurred. One of the guest students
would speak and cite from the Bible
on the opposition of doing something
that was considered a sin, and either
the reverend or other guest students
would intervene with their brief, interrupting
thoughts on the debatable
quote. The two sides would yammer
back in forth. One side would dictate
the word of God as being final, and

the other would recompense with the
variation of free will and how the
Bible is more or less considered as a
work of literature and not a guide,
which obviously sent the opposing
side into a furious rebuttal of reinforcing
their previous quote with more
extensive citations.
Back and forth went continuous
arguing, and I do believe there were
only minor instances where quiet
blanketed the room. It was when
someone from the free will side mentioned
the possibility of genetics being
the cause of homosexuality, and then
after a momentary pause in this continual
clamor, the two sides aptly
began disputing their differences
again. I was merely a spectator until I
denoted the possibility of desiring
something came from the hil?,pocampus
in the brain, but now I can t recall the
purpose I had for addressing that
statement.
As a society, we enter a new millennium
in complete disillusionment
of peace. We believe that we are all
different, and that's accepted, but only
people lie, because most feel they
don't want to hurt anyone, or even
worse, they're ignorant about some
differences. We believe the mean,
contemptible people confess the truth
we bury deep inside, but only by speaking
the truth about difficult topics will
we forge progress in our society, or so
we say also.
I had ambivalent thoughts on what to
expect from this discussion. Hopefully,
everyone who attended could have
learned from one another and went
home with a fresh understanding, but I
don't believe a single person's perception
budged an inch in a new direction.
Unfortunately, it was as heated a discussion
as I feared. We didn't talk about
homosexuality and religion, instead the
two sides picked up the good book and
started flinging slander at each other as
if they were so omniscient about the
subject, and that they were right, and
anyone else was wrong in their eyes.
I'm not saying they were mean to
each other. It wasn't a gang war, but if
we were all less civilized, I do believe I'd
hear some threats and see some punches
tossed before the night concluded.
All I know is I lost a numerous account
of respect for my fellow man that night,
. and that's just sad. I go to school to
learn and formally debate and coincide
with peers and just plain mature into a
steady progression of civility, to suddenly
discover that we can revert to
childishsquabbling in a matter of seconds.
Pity.
