Discussion was immediately side- tracked when Ken Meyer. PUAB's Ranger representative. asked the committee to support an "Ugly Bartenders" contest in the Union Square and Rec Center to help raise money for Special Olympics. The event is being sponsored state- wide by Miller Brewing Co.. who is also providing many prizes for con- test winners and donating all pro- ceeds to Wisconsin Special Olym- pics. The fact that the event is being sponsored by Miller Brewing Co. worried some of the committee members because of the current controversy surrounding the corpo- rate sponsorship issue on campus. Also, some committee members felt that by supporting this charity it will cause an influx of charities to approach the campus. ..At this point in time there is a moratorium on anything corporately PSGA election ballot March 7 & 8 • President Dwight Mosby Scott Peterson Vice President Paul Johnson Joe Vignieri Senatorial Candidates: Rhonda Gerolino Gregory Holcomb Barbara Johnson Jan Kratochvil Franklin Kuczenski Marcia Ostrowski Napoleon Scarbrough Adrian Serrano Ernestine Weisinger Janice Block (write-in) Ron Belec (write-in) SUFAC '(Segregated UnilJOr.ity Fee.

I The PSGA agenda The PSGA leaders who will be elected in the March 7 and 8 elections - President, Vice President and Sena- tors - should all realize certain things they must ac- complish in order for PSGA to become as effective as it should be. The first step is to look at its membership: the 18-seat Senate is consistently below half-full. A good sign, how- ever. is the fact that there are eleven Senatorial candi- dates (nine on the ballot and two write-ins) running for the nine spring semester seats. That increases the num- ber of total Senators to thirteen, but more recruiting is still necessary. When the Senate membership is not full, and when a student can usually get "elected" by volunteering to put his/her name on the ballot and voting for himself/her- self, something must be changed. But PSGA is caught in a Catch-22 situation, because while they want and try to have a full Senate, students shy away from PSGA because they don't see a full and active Senate. The internal organization of PSGA and its relations with its committees (SOC, for instance), don't help PSGA in acquiring a good reputation. Instead of dealing with important and controversial subjects, the Senate tends to get preoccupied with such earth-shattering tasks as reviewing all of SOC's minutes, which usually consumes most of the meeting time. Such petty internal business is the major reason that, as one PSGA vice presidential candidate said, PSGA meetings are turn- offs for the people who must attend them. I( the PSGA Senate refuses to approve the probably- soon-to-be SOC request for major student organization status. the Senate should at least restructure the Senate- SOC relationship that does more harm than good for both sides. Senators might not have such a high drop- out rate once they realize that PSGA can be worthwhile if it has the time and drive to accomplish something. The student body will notice PSGA more if the Senate conducted its business at a time that is more accessible for students to attend. The current 8 p.m. Tuesday meetings (and the prior 8 p.m. Thursday meetings) make PSGA appear, on the surface, as a night-time tri- bunal made up of volunteer "elected" officials who waste their time on inconsequential issues. Once PSGA becomes prominent on campus by being visible and directing its actions to less trivial issues, more students will want to become a part of the organi- zation that. in theory and design, is supposed to be and should be the strong voice of the students. • Correction Ranger incorrectly spelled PSGA presidential candidate Dwight Mosby's last name in last week's edition. Ranger regrets the error. KeD Meyer Editor .. Jemole T •• ldei<z News Editor • Job Kova1le Feature Editor coD Patrlcla Cumbie Spons Editor Q MiclIael KadI Pboto Editor ,. 0...

Basiness Mauger A silly fact of life • , It shouldn't really surprise me. Irs been done be- fore, it'll be done again - and it was done at last week's PUAB (Parkside Union Advisory Board) meet- ing. Silly decisions are made by people and committees at some time or another because of the simple fact that people aren't perfect. If they were perfect, why would they be here at Parkside? Silly decisions are made for silly reasons, which come in many variehes, such as not understanding, reading something else into something and voting on the basis of an unstated understanding that your vote doesn't mean anything because the "higher ups" will reject it anyway. The issue before the PUAB (the step before "higher up") was an "Ugly Bartender Contest" fund raiser for Wisconsin Special Olympics. You know, a nice heart- wanning organization. But ... oh no 1 The sponsor of the contest is Miller beer. That's a no-no at Parkside. The vote failed by one vote, 4-2-3. A committee on corporate sponsorship will offer policy recommendations '''probably soon." Until a policy is set, it is understood that those sponsorships --- _ (alcohol related) will be frowned upon by those with the power to decide. Since that reason goes unsaid, other reasons were brought up. Why does the contest have to be held in the Union? Why not the Molinaro Concourse? What if Jerry Lewis and thousands of other well-meaning char- itable people invade Parkside for help? As PUAB was told, almost all of the other groups would follow the proper procedures without PUAB hearing a thing about them. But this specific case warranted PUAB approval because its nature man- dates its being held in the Union, which is what PUAB is all about. The only logical place to bold a bartender contest is by Ken Meyer Editor at a bar - it's not called a concourse-tender contest. That would be like conducting the halftime free throw contest in a racquetball court and the PSGA elections jn the men's bathroom. (After all, how would the women vote?) But one PUAB member voted for the silliest - and deadliest - reason of aU. He broke the first golden rule that all students on committees should be trained to never forget: That students shall vote to express their opinions instead of displacing their consciences and voting the way they think the administration wants the decision to go. lf they forget that. why the hell are they there in the first place?

April • University 0' Wlsconsln-ParkSlde Financial Aid. law impacts non-trad students by Doug McEvoy In October 1986, Congress passedinto law amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965. The effects of these amendments are many and tar reaching. . In general, they present a restructuring of those formu- Iae used to determine ellglbll. Ity. "CertaIn categories of students will benefit," ex- plainedJan Ocker, director of financial aid at Parkslde, "but some will experience less eligibility than in prevt- ousyears. " Those.who will benefit will mainlybe those students with dependent children, "dis- placedhomemakers,') ·'dislo ... cated workers," and single parents who support their ehlldren even if they are Itv- Ing st home and are Federal lax deductions for their par- ts. Thebig losers will be those students who earned" more ment, and students who quit their jobs to return to school, as such students will no long. er be able to reflle under "Special Conditions." Most of those students who will lose out will do so due to the fact that need will be based on income of the tax return of the year prior to the year of attendance rather than the projected income of the academic year. "Congress has had a bee in its bonnet for several years:' commented Ocker. "They were not happy with old for. mulae used to determine need. They wanted something they could pin down and doc- ument. Students' 1987income Will always be used to deter- mine their 1988·89academic year 'need' of eligibility." "Dislocated workers" are an exception. They may use their projected 1988 income as. the determinant of need. New benefits to be received by students include up to $1,000 per academic year in' chIld care for chIldren under 12, elimination of home equlty from consideration in the determination of family con. trlbutlon for all adult students demonstrating that they are "displaced homemakers," and financial aid for students with dependent chIldren grad_ uating from high school equal to that which the chIld would receive. Part-time students are now eligible for Pell Grants, Sup. plemental Educational Opper- tunlty Grants, College Work. study, and Perkins loans. Pregnant women, as well as women who have had or adopted a chIld within six months of enrollment can defer tuition payments tor six months.

The meet- ing will be held at UWC· Waukesha. There are three candidates running for the office: Steve Cady, UC Vlce-Prestdent: Jim Smith, UC Legislative Affairs Director; and David Woldseth, Wisconsin Student Association (WSA) Legisla- tlve Affairs Director (Madi- son campus' student govern- ment). If elected, Cady plans to stress the Importance of United Council to member and non-member campuses. He .also intends to modernize the UC offtce by upgrading office and capital supplies. Cady also wants to Imple- ment an extensive traIning program for UC delegates . "By front loading the tram- ing in the beginning of the year," he said, "we will be- come more skilled and have more time remaInIng to uti- lize these lobbying tactics." 10 addition to being UC's current Vlce-President, Cady has been involved in Stevens Point's student government for two years, ThIs year he Is president. "I'm ready to make a com- mitment to making It (UC)' more effective," cady said. "I'll focus more on the issues . at hand. A lot of time was spent haggling out Internal qualities that can only benefit UC. "Next year, I think I can help raise the profile and credibility of United Council as a whole, as we did this year with legislative affairs," Smith saId.

HIs priorities include making credit transfers be- tween campuses easier. ex- panding the UC Shared Oov- emance initiative by mcreas- ing funding and working hard to Improve the MInority Af· faIrs committee. He would also like to see UC working together. "We need to make the UW System one united system," Woldaeth saId. "By working concrete Issuea, we can 1m- prove UC &8 a whole."

Smith, because of his expe- rience of Legislative Affairs Director, believes he Is the most qualified candidate for UC president. By emphasiz- ing the' Issues, instead of political parties, Smith feels he can continue to broaden UC support regardiess of political party. One of his maIn goals Is to organize UC. "I want to help all the com- mlttees of United Council or- ganize," he said. "By organ- Izing we can get more stu- dents involved in issues on the campus, as well as the state leveL" A direct result of this, Smith saId, will be more reo- ognltlon of UC on the cam- puses.

United Council is the state student lobbying group. It represents over 150,000stu' dents ~on 23 of 'the' 26 cam' puses, fncluding' Parkside. The organization acts as- a liasGn between the students and the state government. This year UC has. lobbied againsf the -nomination of John Jarvis as student re- gent, lobbied for the 33 per- cent Student Tuition Cap, and fough for increased financial aids. . The State Assembly Affairs Committee held a drinking, age hearing to vocalize their position regarding the current drinking age of ,Tuesday; April 12. Rep. Tim Carpenter (D-MtI- waukee) is the author of' the bUl that would lower the legal drinking age to 19. The hear- Ing was not held to discuss- actual passage of the bill, but to emphasize the potential et- fects of lowering the drinking age. I At the hearing, Carpenter focused on three main points. He -sald the Legislature had made' a mistake by submit. ttng" to the federal govern- ment's "blackmail" to. raise .the drinking age. (The fed. eral government withheld highway money until the drinking age was raised. ) Also, Carpenter said, drtnk- ing is still going on. .. All rais- ing the drinking has done Is shift the drinking from bars to cars," he said. His third point was that l8-year-olds are ~old enough. to do every- thing but drink. "They have aU the rights of an adult ex. cept the right to drink," he said. Two members of the United Council testlfied on behalf of . lowering the drinking age. "Raising the drinking agj! has not stopeed l8-and 19. year-olds from drinking," said UC President AdrIaD Serrano. "Instead they're drinking In more dangeroun envtrrroments, and," he added. "they're still driving," 'Legtsrattve Affairs Direclor .Jim Smith told the commit- tee, "I think we've come loa rather sad point when certain 'groups would rather take a right away froma segment of . the population Ulan holdthem accountable to the responsib- lity of being an adult." .

" by Jon Hearroa Ronald Brinkman, who has been the director of Campus security since 1971, will be stepping down from this post in the Parkstde community at the end of the semester. Before coming to Parkside, Brinkman served under the Attorney General in Madison with the Wisconsin Council of the Criminal Justice system. He began his career with the Racine Police Department in 1957. By the time he left the Racine P.O., just over 12 years later, he had risen to the rank of lieutenant. Brinkman has seen may changes in Parkside over the course of his 17 years here. Not only has he served under- the administrations of three different chancellors, but he has also seen the security de- partment evolve from merely a campus pollee group to an organization overseeing park- Ing and transportatlon, the locksmith shop, and the dis- posal of hazardous materials. When asked his feelings about leaving, Brinkman said, "I have some very deep and mixed emotions." On one hand he feels "It Is time for me to step down and let new ideas lead on." On the other hand, Brinkman regrets to be leaving under Chancellor Sheila Kaplan's administra- tion. He believes U1e univer- sity will greatly Improve under her Ieaderehfp. Over the years, one of the things about Parkslde that has Impressed Brinkman the most has been the maturity of the student body. Accol'dlng to Brinkman.

ULMER ZACKEEHAN UlmerOOO@lIwp.edu Keeha003@uwp.edu The Parkside Student GovemrnentAssociation adressed issues with- filling empty senate seats during their regular meeting onFriday, Dec. 7·. Someone who is interested in student government needs 75 signatures to enter into electIons. However, when there are empty seats after the standard election, current PSGA members can nominate individuals to fill those seats and the entire Senate then votes those individuals into the assembly. -This is a current PSGA resolution. It was discussed that at times this method of filling empty seats can become a popularity contest, and those who are elected in this manner rarely come to meetings after they are voted in. On the other hand, there have been instances when a student was elected to an empty-seat and then went on to play an active role in the Senate. Discussion ensued as to whether requiring potential senators to get signatures would qualify them to serve or simply prolong the process of filling 'empty seats. It was suggested that there must be some requirement .to prove that potential senators will be motivated to play an active role in PSGA. It was also . , suggested that open seats should be advertised in The Ranger News or elsewhere to make students aware of the positions still up for election. Amendments to the current resolution were tabled until next week's meeting. . An act sponsored by senators David Wilson and Carly-Anne Ravnikar sought to clarify PSGA's current definition of resolutions, acts and bylaws. This act was also discussed during the meeting Friday. According to the Legislative Procedure and Bylaw Implementation Act drafted by Wilson and Ravnikar, a resolution is an act of the Senate that "expresses the determinations, decisions? or directions" of the Senate. Resolutions are feelings that PSGt- has towards actions and events. Resolutions have no real power because they. are only suggestions and fade with time. An act is a formal proposal to change the way PSGA is run, or to change the bylaws. "The bylaws include all acts passed by the Senate, Acts are permanent changes to PSG A unless otherwise stated. The act proposed by Wilson and Ravnikar also outlined the purpose and composition of resolutions and acts. Resolutions are intended to give a statement on behalf of the student body or the Senate, make a recommendation to the faculty or administration, or make a temporary change to Senate proceedings. A resolution may not violate a current bylaw. A n act must include an Objective, or the reason for implementing the. act. Along with the objective are definitions of any specific things related to the act, which need further clarification. The act itself describes the different actions being proposed for possible implementation as a law. After the act is stated, particulars must also be discussed. Particulars include such things as dates of expiration or other clarifying statements about the application of the act. The Legislative Procedure and Bylaw Implementation Act, which included all of these definitions and clarifications, was passed in the Dec. 7 meeting by a majority vote of the Senate. There's something " p hish y " in RangerMaii JOKIRST dierdJ:apboenix@gmail.com Shortly after noon on Nov.' 27, aphishing attack was launched on the University of Wisconsini Parkside's RangerMaiL The message was camouflaged to appear to users that UW-p services had sent it, asking for e- mail account verification. Users who responded to this e-mail may have had their personal information accessed, such as their RangerMail password. Phishing is a- criminal attempt to acquire sensitive and personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. Wisconsin has an anti- spam bill that includes fraudulent emails, such as the one distributed to UW·P students. According to directmag.com, "Violators could face civil and criminal penalties, including felony charges that could draw up to $10,000 io fines and six years' in prison under the bill. The penalty could increase by $10,000 if the victim is elderly or disabled." So bow can you tell what a P hishina attempt is, and how can o ? you protect yourself from the~n. The Anti-Phishing working Group has some suggestions: I) Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information-unless the email has been digitally signed, you can't be sure it wasn't forged or 'spoofed'. The phishers typically ask for information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc. If you aren't sure if It's legitimate or not, call the company and ask. Consider installiug a Web browser tool bar: to help protect you from known fraudulent Web sites. These toolbars match where you are going with lists of known phisher Web sites. For' example, the newest version of Internet Explorer 7 has this toolbar, as well as FireFox version 2. Regularly log into your online accounts-don't leave them alone for more than a month before you. check each account. Log in at least once a week. Along the same lines, regularly check your bank, credit; and debit card statements to make sure all transactions are legitimate. If you sense something is not right, call the company and ask about it. 4) Always report "phishing'' or "spoofed" emails to one of. the following groups: Forward the email to reportph ishing@antiphishing.org or to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov. Alert tbe company that was being spoofed {i.e. Ebay). Following these steps will lower your risk of a phishing attempt being successfuL Don't be afrnid to call a company if you 'suspect they are being used for a phishing scam-you calling in and alerting them can not only save your personal information, but the personal information of others. 2) 3) " We've got issues " Vote anticipated on Compassionate Care for Rape Victi~s bill KAITLYN M. ULMER UImerOOO@lIwp.edu A bill that would require that rape victims are educated about and offered emergency contraception (EC) in Wisconsin hospitals, Assembly Bill 377/ Senate Bill 129, could go to vote in the State Assembly this week. According to supporters of the bill, decreasing unwanted pregnancies due to rape will decrease the trauma that victims experience. Assembly leaders promised the authors of the bill, republican representative Terry Muser and democratic representative Mark Paean, that the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims (CCRV) bill would be scheduled for a vote before the end of the year. ThO' last Assembly Floor Session for this Year is set for Tuesday, Dec. 11 so a vote is expected to take place during that session. Emergency contraception (Be) is a high dosage of birth control pills that is 99.5 percenr effective if taken within 12 hours. and still 75 percent effective if taken within 120 hours .. According to the CCRY coalition, Ee does not have any effect on existing pregnancies. One of the questions that many women have about EC, however, is. how "pregnancy". can be. defined. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines pregnancy as "the successful implantation of a fertilized egg," which means that an egg that has been fertilized by sperm and bas implanted itself into the lining of 3 woman's uterus is considered a pregnancy. In her book "When do Human Beings Begin"," philosopher and biologist Dianne Irving. wrote "Scientifically, there is absolutely no question whatsoever that the immediate product of fertilization is a newly existing human being. A human zygote is a human being. It is not a 'potential' or 'possible' human being. It's an actual human being - with the potential to grow bigger and develop its capacities." In May, the State Senate passed the eCRV bill by a vote of 27 -6. Governor Doyle has committed to sign the bill into law if it passes through both state houses. On Dec. II, the Assembly has the opportunity 10 pass the bill without amendments, This means that the Assembly can essentially override an amendment to the bill that passed in October. This amendment allowed hospitals and all hospital employees to deny providing comprehensive health care 1O rape victims and to only provide standard care. "With the passage of this bill in the Assembly, we finally have an opportunity to see that ideal treatment of rape victims becomes law in our state:' said Keeley Crowley, coordinator of Holy Family Memorial's Sexual Assault Resource Center in Manitowac, wisc., in a press release from CeRV coalition. "We can't erase the injustice a victim' has experienced as a result of an auack, but this law will go a continue to page 3 9oo Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595·2295 Ads: uwp_ods@yahoo.com Website: rongernews@uwp.edu dlto.

The topic of the survey was The Ranger News, whether or not respondents read the newspaper, and how the newspaper could he improved. As one of the students who conducted the survey, and as editor in chief of The Ranger News, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on ways in which the newspaper can continue to improve. The survey revealed that OUl target audience, those individuals who are most likely to read The Ranger News, are 18 to 21-year-old students who commute to the campus. Respondents were 'given five categories to choose from to > describe how often they read the newspaper. These options' included "never," "sometimes," "occasionally," "usually" and "always." The largest number of students, at 26 percent; responded that they sometimes read the newspaper, and the second largest number, 24 percent, responded that they never read the newspaper. This shows that even though our circulation numbers are rising, there is still a large segment of the student body that we are not reaching. The survey also gave students the opportunity to rate each section of the newspaper. Ratings' they could select included "unacceptable." "needs improvement," "neutral," "good" and "excellent." .The greatest number of respondents answered "neutral" for each section of the newspaper. The second largest number responded "excellent," and after that came needs improvement. There were significantly more respondents who replied "unacceptable" for the Comics and Sports sections, so in the future we will consider ways to improve those sections of the newspaper. One of the most useful parts of the survey was a question that asked "What should The Ranger News do to improve its newspaper?" While the other parts of the survey allowed respondents to circJe their answers, this part asked them to write down their personal thoughts about how the newspaper could be improved. Many respondents wanted to see more local, state, national and world news in The Ranger News. They also desired better quality news overall. It was suggested that we include a variety of opinions on the Opinion page and make sure that our own staff do not dominate the page. Readers would like also like to see more coverage of sports, both on and off campus. At the same time, several individuals requested that we improve the quality of our comics overall. In addition, respondents want The Ranger News to expand its coverage of student groups and school events, as well as interesting issues and topics. They want to read reviews of new movies and video games. They want the newspaper to include more job opportunities in the classified ads along with sudoku .and other puzzles. Visually, our readers would like to see more illustrations and eye-catching photography, and generally a more appealing newspaper. They also desire a high level of accuracy in our editing. I would like to thank' all of the individuals who took some time out of their day to fill. out this survey, and we will be implementing a plan to create some of the changes that were suggested. I would also like to thank the group of students from my marketing class who agreed to use The Ranger News as the topic for our marketing plan project. I hope that the results of this survey are as interesting to our readers as they were to I11e,and I appreciate any other feedback that our readers (and non-readers) can offer. We plan on conducting similar surveys in the future to assess where we are at as a newspaper and where we should be going. In the end, there is always room for improvement. Kaitlyn M.
