They are preparing schedules, selecting classes,and getting ready for the Parkside Student Government elections. So far. the incumbent. President Theodore Ruffalo, and Vice President. Zak Smith, are running unopposed, but election application packets are available to those who wish to run. Election preparations are running late this year because the election bylaw's in Parkside Student Government's constitution were not ratified until \ery recently. The entire constitution was rewritten last summer to resemble the United States Constitution. The current team has plans in the works; their focus is -standing up for students' rights, said President Ruffalo PSG is working to make sure that students have a say in matters concerning them, their student center, and their money. PSG is in the process of getting students in leadership positions in the Student Life Committee instead of paid stall. Ruffalo believes that students should be making the decisions about student assets. Student lee accountability is another issue at hand. Segregated fees are being reduced next year and PSG will make sure that they are spent in ways that will benefit students the most. PSG also wants to further campus identify. They are participating in the process to create a strategic plan to streamline the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's identity. Ruffalo helped draft a new mission statement tor the school, which will also serve as a guideline for school identity. Logos and slogans currently associated with UW-, Parkside are also items under consideration. Some may be changed or eliminated to foster solidarity within the school and channel school spirit. "People love Mean Green ." said Ruffalo. A student-led SIX. student fee accountability, and furthering campus identity are three main points that the current student government is working on. Though Ruffalo and Smith remain unopposed at this late stage, the students have the ultimate decision in this election. The future of camnus-wide wirelp^ olar panels installed on campus JOSHUA BRADLEY Jim Winkle, of the clean energy, this clean thing In response, University WE Energies, FocuT company: of Wisconsin-Madison, warns, You think of [electricity] as this SAMANTHA Schmaiing shntaftb5@rangers.uvvp.edu Do you ever have the feeling that if you shift a few seats over, or take a few, maybe twelve steps to the left, that you could possibly pick up a wireless signal any given place on campus? Maybe vou feel as though if you moved to an entirely different building, you would be able to pick up the wireless signal better? You are not alone. Many students feel as though thev cannot connect to the Interne! in classroom areaand buildings that they should be able to. Wireless ran be helpful in classrooms forstudents to be able to connect to the Internet and access websites or material that is relevant to their class. That is all. hopefully, about to change. The Technology Committee on campus will vote later next month to decide to extend campus-wide coverage of the wireless internet The Communication Arts building currently has no wireless Internet, and the wifeless in Molinaro Hall works better pushing to have wireless access in the outdoor classroom areas, and possibly the parking areas so students can access the wireless on their mobile devices. After the vote is taken, and hopefully passed to have wireless internet campus wide, the Technology Committee is planning to install the wireless throughout the summer, so that it is available by next fall. The Technology committee is also looking to replace the WSYE "dumb terminals" in the computer lab on the D1 level of the libran The Jeehnology Committee is also coming out of your wall outlet but in fact it's the largest source of greenhouse gases." So how can we reduce emissions, while still keeping the lights on? The simple answer; alternative energy. Solar power has become one of the most promising forms of alternative energy in recent years. Long before President Obama announced that America would seek "green" energy solutions, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside was taking steps to harness the power of the sun with photovoltaic cells, what we commonly call solar panels. These PVCs take light energy and convert it to electrical energy using a silicon cell. Historically, PVCs have been expensive and only slightly efficient. But as we move into the 21s' century, prices are going down while panels produce more energy. The cells are still not cheap. Panels can cost thousands of dollars and be difficult to install. The school intended to put a large amount of panels around campus, which meant financial help was necessary. Fortunately kthat help was available. The effort to install the PVCs on campus was a state first for any government institution in Wisconsin. But even a historic effort would require monetary aid. response, WE Energies, on Energy, and an anonymous campus member offered two separate challenge grants designed to compliment UWParkside's fundraising to pay for the cells. A year ago, pleas went out to students, staff and faculty via the Ranger Mail system. The letters asked for donations and provided a clear vision of a green campus. It emphasized that the challenge grants would double the donation twice. If a student donated a single dollar, it would be doubled by the campus grant, and then again by the WE Energies/ Focus on Energy grant to make four dollars. Simply: $1=$4. With a total of 6000 dollars raised from campus members and a quadrupling of that number from the grants, the campus still needed much more cash. But the State of Wisconsin stepped up, excited to see our campus so close. According to Provost Gerald Greenfield, "We benefited from the increased State interest in alternative energy, and that helped produce a pay back schedule that was more favorable." In other words, UWParkside will be making more per watt than originally agreed upon. Energy companies agree to help pay for solar panels as long as the electricity they produce can be purchased by the company to be resold on the grid. This agreement keeps the energy company in business and makes the solar panels more affordable for institutions and individuals. Donald Kolbe, Director of Facilities Management, oversaw the physical installation of the photovoltaic cells. He expects the system to last 50 years, and during the first decade, WE Energies will pay UW-Parkside $.225 per kilowatt. Parkside only pays $.07 per kW, the difference in prices helps the campus pay for the panels. WE Energies will also be putting in a kiosk near Molinaro Joe's. The kiosk will display kW data, Molinaro energy consumption, campus photos and weather information. The entire P V C project is expected to produce 26.1 kW and cost $300,000. UW-Parkside is very proud to be the home of the first PVCs in the Wisconsin system and is eager to add more to the campus. If you are interested in giving to the fund you can visit the UWParkside webpage, keyword: PVC, for more information. The panels can be seen on the roof of Molinaro from the 2nd and 3rd story windows, the 'head house' near the Tallent Hall parking lot, and a soon to be installed mounted tracker close to Facilities Management.

The Ranger News March 31, 2009 Fro TfieEcfifo That budget article was really hard to write, because there was SO MUCH information. It took a long time until I was satisfied with it. I hope it does a good job of relaying the information that was given to us at the budget forums. I haven't had such a tough article in a while. Anyway, enough about me... here's another issue! There's a lot of news in this one, but a fairly distinct lack of everything else. Looks like we're going through another rough patch for articles. A lot of our problems would be solved if we had enough reporters, but on some level it seems like it's too late to get more people involved this semester, because everyone is so busy prepping for the end of the semester. Next year, though, we'll be doing a lot of recruiting and make sure everyone knows about our internship opportunities. I think having a lot of interns will help boost our productivity and get a lot more accomplished. Of course, next year we will also be online-only, which I am extremely excited about! Parkside Student Government elections are coming up fast, so we're doing our best to collaborate with them and get you the information you need to make an informed choice come voting day(s). Next week, we will have a "meet the candidates" article much like we do every spring, so you'll get the scoop on who's running for President and Vice President, and why they think you should vote for them. (You can still pick up an election packet, if you're interested in running for President, Vice President, senate, or SUFAC at large. They're due April 1 by noon in the University Activities office. ) I would like to take a moment on a totally unrelated topic. In our March 10 issue, there was an error in the article about the Worldfest flag ceremony—Chancellor Earns was misquoted. The Ranger News as a whole apologizes to the readers a d to Chancellor Earns for the error. If you find an error in The Ranger News, please let us know! You can email the reporter directly, you can email me, or you can email both of us. Whatever works for you. And with that,I' mout of things to say for this week.

Budget cuts may not be as bad as expected Jo Kirst jo@therangernews.com With the help of Interim Provost Gerald Greenfield and Catherine Jameson, the Director rf Budget and Planning, Interim Chancellor Lane Earns held two budget fo rums this past week to =ive the campus some insight as to low the University of Wisconsin- Parkside will be handling a 1.3 million-dollar budget cut. Earns began by giving a ittle history about the state's ludget deficit, explaining that in t short amount of time, the state >f Wisconsin went from looking it a bu dget surplus to a deficit of > 7 billion dollars. He then went >n to show that despite these ;uts, there are some opportunities nixed in with the challenges. While the 3.3 million-dollar ut presents several challenges to 'arkside, several opportunities re present, including an ncrease in financial aid to help tudents offset the cost of tuition, lomestic partner benefits, and 77,000 to help recruit and etain faculty and academic staff. Unfortunately, due to these uts, the quality of education will lecrease slightly, as the number f class sections offered and the mount of staff to teach them is sduced. The plans for the growth agendas were changed slightly, stunting the growth of the campus. Additionally, employees will be contributing more to health care and retirement plans. Budget Breakdown Catherine Jameson then took the podium to explain the University's budget and its many facets. For the 2008-2009 academic year, Parkside's budget is $72 million. The majority of that $72 million comes from state taxpayer dollars and tuition and fees. These two sections are referred to as the General Purpose Operating funds, or GPO. The rest of the budget consists of funds such as housing and food service, grants and gifts, and segregated fees. These are restricted to a specific purpose, and are known as Program Revenue (PR) funds. The budget does not include money for building projects, but it does include mortgage payments on new buildings. Jameson then went through a graph that showed a breakdown of how funds are used. The breakdown is a way for Parkside to compare its expenses to the expenses of other universities across the country. A large portion of Parkside's budget is spent on instruction and student services. Smaller sections include financial aid, academic support, and research. Budget Reduction Task Force Interim Provost Greenfield stepped up next to speak briefly about the budget reduction task force, which consists of two representatives from every major governance group on campus. The task force was established by Earns, and is co-chaired by Greenfield and Vice Chancellor William Streeter. Jameson is also a part of the task force. The task force is charged with finding ways to make budget cuts without majorly impacting instruction or student services. "We want this to be a collaborative process," said Greenfield, so campus input is a vital asset to the task force. A website will be set up soon for campus to communicate with task force members and suggest ways to save money. Two ways to reduce costs and save money are restricting travel and slowing down hiring. "We would not be making permanent changes until we have the strategic planning process at the point where there are some recommendations that make sense," Greenfield explained. Later in the presentation, he added, "There is a clear relation between the budget issue as we look ahead and the strategic planning." Budget Cuts Jameson returned t o explain the cuts that Parkside faces. Most of the cuts are in the form of cash lapses, which is good, because the University is only losing cash or savings, and not taking a hit to its base budget. The cuts are spread across two years, with most of the cuts occurring during the 2009-2010 academic year. The budget reduction plan consists of four phases, beginning with a 2.5 percentcuttothebasebudgetacross the board. This cut will provide a portion of the '09-'10 cash lapse. The second phase includes the cash that has been collected from the first phase and a determination of the balance of the cash lapse. Phase three will take place in July, with the transfer of auxiliary funds and a one percent cut to PR funds. Segregated fees will not be touched during this process, including the payments on the Student Center building. Phase four is a continuation of a one percent cut to all funds. "As of today, we're gonna be in decent shape, I believe." — Lane Earns After a brief look by Greenfield at the strategic planning process, Chancellor Earns returned t o summarize the presentation. Parkside is doing several things already to help cope with the budget cuts, such as reducing discretionary spending, reducing travel expenses, and holding positions open for longer. Long-term coping mechanisms may include looking at new enrollment revenue resources and expanding the capacity for revenue generation. "Like all state agencies during these difficult economic times, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside must pay its fair share of the deficit and determine how best to cope with reduced state resources." he said. "For now, I want you to know thatthetimesahead will be difficult, but Parkside will pull through with its core values, academic programs, and outstanding faculty and staff intact."

RIEDLINGER mrit'dlinger@dorkgasm.com The state of science fiction, is I complained about in my view of Knowing, is abysmal, ollywood keeps churning out :rap they hope seems smart or JQ0l> while failing miserably «cause they keep forgetting that he best science fiction happens hen it actually is smart and cool, e subtext is usually built in, nd the more oveit you get, either hrough hyperbole or through echno-babble, the less effective cience fiction really is. Monsters s. Aliens is a science fiction film irst, and a children's film second, t s weird, because even the heaters are treating it that way, nd theaters are usually clueless, tunning the trailer for Star Trek head of this film is pure marketing enius! There's also the fact hat the movie updates almost :very 50's genre-film cliche in he book, if that isn't enough for ou. The characters are all scistandards, including the Blob, he Mad Scientist, the Creature 'rozen in Ice and Time, and of xiurse, the 50-foot woman. Even kaiju-like creature has a part to lay in this, and it's about alien nvasion! Sure, it's animated, but hat only seems to have helped. rhe story itself is about a young .'Oman named Susan (Reese 'itherspoon) who is nailed by radioactive asteroid from outer space that causes her to grow by eaps and bounds. She is locked tp in a government facility where •he meets the other monsters. When a giant alien robot attacks, the monsters are the best hope we have against it. Pretty simple, and no one spends too much time explaining to the President (Stephen Colbert) what galaxy anyone has come from, how all the flying saucers work, or where in the heck The Missing Link fits in on the evolutionary timeline. Remember, this is supposed to be a kid's movie, so the filmmakers don t dwell on anything that might put the kiddies to"sleep. Then again, those things are also the same culprits that drive normal folks away from science fiction in the first place, so it really is a win-win lor the audience. What it also does is free up more time for both action and humor. The folks at Dreamworks haven't forgotten that adults are also in the audience, but instead of thinly veiled double entendre, the jokes for us are about Star Trek. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Beverly Hills Cop. They also poke fun at relationships, and marriage, but Monsters vs. Aliens never gets preachy. There's too much fun to be had! The monsters are the best part of the film. Hugh Laurie drops the American accent he affects on House as the crazy Dr. Cockroach, Seth Rogan loses a few brain cells for the mindless (but hysterical) B.O.B. the Blob, and Keifer Sutherland embodies every cranky Patton rip-off necessary as General Warren Monger. The comedy bombs drop quick and often, and sometimes in the middle of action, so keep your ears open. The action portion of this film is ultimately very satisfying, refusing to slow down without leaving any of the plot holes so often seen in its "adult" counterparts. Contemporary directors who are looking to make a sci-fi film should take notes on this movie. The number of updated throwbacks is huge, and they are all used wisely. No one leaves the ffSK theater feeling unsatisfied because we don't know how the engines on the spacecraft worked or what precise type of radiation causes a gnib to grow to the size of the Golden Gate Bridge. Not only are these elements left unexplained, but they do not matter to the story. If you're looking for an allegory in the film, you'll find plenty about accepting differences and bonding with friends, like most children's films, but like a good science fiction film, Monsters vs. Aliens doesn't beat you over the head with its message mt mj *ii"*-»"iV M m M A MONSTROUS 3D EVENT. 3D MA RCH 2009 The Ranger News An alternative spring break at SCTTAiFruFD RrEiPiAOiRiTT . .. rangerne ws@ gmail.com Two graduate students from the School of Information Science at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee spent 30 hours in the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Archive and Area Research Center as interns under the supervision of interim archivist Anna M. Stadick from March 16 to 20. Rachel Sperling and Taryn Sauer took part in the Alternative Spring Break program, which is now in its third year at UWMilwaukee. Alternative Spring Break coordinator Katherine Blank, of UW-Milwaukee, placed 17 students at 11 archival repositories in the area including the Harley-Davidson Archives, the Archives of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Marquette University Archives, the Milwaukee Public Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Ward Irish Music Archives, the Newberry Library, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Kenosha Public Library and UW-Parkside. Besides studying library and information science, Rachel Sperling enthusiastically reads and writes science fiction. During her alternative spring break, she took on the task of cleaning, rehousing, and relabeling the science fiction magazine collection in UWParkside's Special Collections. The magazines date from 1926 to the 1960's and reflect the writers' understanding of science and its role in current and future events. Sperling especially enjoyed reading letters to the editor from various decades. " It is interesting seeing the attitudes toward women and minorities as they change over the years." She discovered the letters of Marion Zimmer (now Bradley) writing as a teenager, pointing out the unfavorable depiction of women in science fiction. The young Zimmer, a now wellknown feminist author of fantasy works, such as The Mist of Avalon, declared that this would have to change or she would have to start writing her own. Sperling found the Alternative Spring Break interesting and informative. "I had taken only one archive class— Introduction to Archives. This internship has re-kindled my interest in the field." She plans to finish her MLIS degree next year. Taryn Sauer will complete her MLIS in August 2009. Her next educational step takes her to the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, where she will seek her doctoral degree in technical communication. Sauer worked with a costudent in the MLIS program at UW-Milwaukee, Melissa Olson, who is an LTE in the UWParkside Archives. The team surveyed about 300 maps in the archives' collection, repaired March 3172009 UW-F tears and reinforced weak spots created an organizational system and compiled an electronic finding aid to the collection Sauer remarked about her experience: "It's amazing to see what goes into the preservation of local history. Among the most interesting items I saw were three hand-drawn maps chronicling changes in land holdings along the Plank Road in the later half of the 19,h century." Web pages about both projects highlighting the contents of the map collection and science fiction collection should soon be accessible through the UW-P Archive web site.

Likewise, I despise those who advocate violence as a "solution" to anything. Those who advocate for violent solutions are amongst the most savage, primitive and malevolent human' beings possible. Further, those who advocate for the most severe and efficient forms of violence - i.e. those who promote military violence—are amongst the most sadistic. Militaries, as agents of mass death, are only considered to be solutions by those who subscribe to a morality that says, 'Tightness is determined by one's ability to kill;" such a moral code contains nothing else—no justice, no freedom, no fairness; simply violence". And, as it has been with many other subjects, our new president Obama is no different from his predecessor when it comes to invoking the military as a "solution." President Obama spoke last Friday about his plan to deal with the ongoing situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan—a situation he described as "increasingly perilous." According to Obama," A1 Qaeda and its allies, the terrorists who planned and supported the 9/11 attacks are in Pakistan and Afghanistan...and if the Afghan government falls to the Taliban or allows A1 Qaeda to go unchallenged, that country will again be a base for the terrorists who want to kill as many of our people as they can." Of course, a key piece of Obama s "solution" to this plan is to increase the military forces in the area by some 20,000 troops According to Obama's speech, These soldiers and Marines will take the fight to the Taliban in the south and east...and to go after insurgents along the border." I suppose since these "terrorists" want to "kill as many of our people as they can," we'd better go ahead and kill as many of them as we can first. It can't get any simpler than that, can it? Now, Obama did warn. of some risks to his plan. He said "The sacrifices have been enormous. Nearly 700 Americans have lost their lives. Troops from over 20 countries have also paid the ultimate price." Since military violence is all about who can kill who faster and better, I suppose it is likely that many soldiers will continue to "pay the ultimate price." What is peculiar though is that Obama never mentioned what sorts of risks his plan has in store for those who happen to live in Afghanistan—you know, civilians and such who might also have to "pay the ultimate price." According to some numbers compiled at wikipedia. org under an entry entitled Civilian casualties of the War in Afghanistan (2001-present), the total civilians killed as a direct result of U.Sled military actions since 2001 is between 4,972 and 7,764. These numbers include the blowing up of civilians with bombs from the sky, or the shooting of civilians with bullets from soldiers' rifles, tanks machine guns, etc. Also, the same Wikipedia article estimates that the total number of civilians killed as an result of U.S-led military actions is between 3,200 and 20,000. The article defines "indirect deaths" as Afghans who had died of starvation, exposure, associated illnesses, or injury sustained while in flight from war zones as a result of the U.S. war and airstrikes. I su ppose the range varies so greatly due to the inherent difficulties of measuring displaced peoples. In any case, these numbers tell us that somewhere between 8,172 and 27,764 Afghan civilians have been killed as a result of U.S-led military actions. Now, Obama does remind us that those nasty terrorists have killed civilians too, "Nearly 3,000 of our people were killed on September 11, 2001," Obama said, "for doing nothing other than going about their daily lives. A1 Qaeda and its allies have since killed thousands of people in many countries." Fair enough. But how many people have these A1 Qaeda allies actually killed? Accordingtothe Wikipedia article, the total civilians estimated to have been killed as a result of insurgent actions is between 2399 and 3,949—far fewer than the U.Sled military has accomplished in the same amount of time. I suppose this means our military is better at killing civilians than those terrorist insurgents, eh? And if I understood Obama correctly, he wants to send more death more trained killers (otherwise known as soldiers) into the area. Obama's affection for military violence propels him easily and painlessly into my category of sadistic persons subscribing to the doctrine that lightness is proportional to powerfulness. As such, it is no wonder why he would make the following statement: There is an uncompromising core of the Taliban. They must be met with force, and they must be defeated." In other words, there is no need to talkor i> with the Taliban, because they refuse to compromise;" besides, we can simply settle this by "force" anyway, so why not just use that first? I swear I've heard this before... except it wasn't the Taliban who was "uncompromising." Back in October 2001 former president Bush rejected the Taliban's request to hand Osama bin Laden over for a trial (after the U.S. had begun its devastating bombing campaign) if the U.S. would produce evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11. As an October 15. 2001 article at independent.co.uk entitled Bush rejects Taliban offer to surrender bin Laden reported: "After a week of debilitating strikes at targets across Afghanistan, the Taliban repeated an offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, only to be rejected by President Bush...Haji Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's deputy prime minister, said: 'If America were to step back from the current policy, then we could negotiate.'...But as American warplanes entered the second week of the bombing campaign, Washington rejected the Taliban offer out of hand When 1 said no negotiations I meant no negotiations,' Mr. Bush said. 'We know he's guilty. 1 urn him over. There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt.'" As we can see, back in 2001 it was the U.S. who was "uncompromising" when it came to non-violent resolutions. It was the Taliban who wanted to negotiate, with respect to the innocence or guilt of the accused, no less—a democratic process, mind you. But, the U.S. preferred the use of force. Now, over seven years later, we have another president trumpeting the use of force and truncating the use of negotiations all over again. And as the numbers attest, it is mostly the Afghan civilians who will pay the "ultimate price" for this use of force. I therefore maintain that president Obama is every bit as sadistic as president Bush was when Bush opted for military violence as a solution in Afghanistan. I care not how fluently Obama can articulate his obsession for violence in Afghanistan with rhetorical luster, it is the same doctrine underneath and I s tringently abhor it. Killing people is not good policy; in fact, it's no "policy" at all. It's savage ruthlessness. Let's hope to improve our health A weapon is only a tool JOHNATHAN JACOB jajcob015@uwp.edu I truly believe that our new president is passionately committed to improving the health- care system in our country. Along with the economic crisis, he has long stated that it is at the top of his agenda. Unfortunately, we have been victimized in the past by promises that were not fulfilled or by presidents who were untruthful. I will refrain from making any individual indictments. It is a very hard pill to swallow, no pun intended, knowing that one has to constantly worry about how to get decent health insurance. I will share some of my experiences, knowing that many others can relate: When I was a kid and had health insurance, the concerns were insignificant compared to what they are today. There was the anxiety associated with getting a shot or going to the dentist, but the ability to receive medical attention was something I took for granted. And there wasn't the worry over how I was going to pay for it. Fastforward many years and it's painful to accept that my attitude, due to various circumstances, has changed drastically. Even when I was fresh out of high school and new to the full-time work force, I didn't take the situation too seriously. If I had insurance, I treated it like a bonus, not a blessing. Oh, how times have changed. As I got older, especially when I became a father, I realized how difficult life could be without adequate insurance. If you've ever been treated at an emergency room without having insurance, I'm sure you understand. And when the bill comes it can be shocking how expensive it is just to be seen by a doctor. You are blessed if this has never happened to you. However, if you have, even once, refused to go to the hospital because you could not afford to, especially when you knew it was in your best interest to get treated, you know exactly what I mean. I have faced this dilemma many times. There are a few aches and pains that I would like to get checked out now, but I won't allow myself to get stuck with another medical bill. I could go into a long diatribe about the politics and greed that are mostly responsible for this appalling condition, but I won't. It is a situation that affects everyone and it needs to change. In a nation that has as many resources as ours, everybody should have some kind of health insurance. The president can' t do it by himself, but I surely hope he remains committed to the caufce. ADAM SPIVEY spiveyadam@yahoo.com Headlines today on the Internet read, "N .C shooi tngd eath toll rises." It seems that yet again another idiot with a gun has popped off and started shooting people. This time our idiotic perpetrator committed this vile act in a nursing home. In a nursing home, are you serious? The shooter is not connected to anyone he shot; he killed eight and wounded even more and he did not even know who they were. In the aftermath of events like this, or others like it such as Columbine. Virginia Tech, NIU and many others we all wonder...why? How could this happen? What caused this? I guess my question is why are we surprised? We live in a world of violence, like it or not the culture of not just the United States, but also the world over, is a violent one. I followed up my reading concerning this most recent shooting with another article about a possible bill in Texas passing that allows concealed carry for registered gun owners over the age of 21 that have passed background checks, and the opposition to this bill. I can understand the hesitation to arm the populace, but at the same time our police are primarily reactionary. How can we ever hope to have response fast enough to stop this seemingly endless stream of disgruntled shooters? Should we not seek a balance? If there is legislation to disarm or prevent legitimate law abiding citizens from protecting themselves then what have we in effect done? We have disarmed the peoples whose intent to carry a weapon was noble and gave the green light to the criminal elements of our nation and the mentally deranged that "hey man. it's ok they are all sitting ducks anyhow". I feel f or every person affected by any tragedy involving guns, but 1 think it is the responsibility of those of us not emotionally involved and scarred by a massacre to decide the best course to protect ourselves from further threat. The opposition to concealed carry laws say that gun are to accessible or thai we need a ban on all firearms. I think it is crucial to remember that the pe ople that commit violent gun crimes that result in mass deaths like the school shootings and the more recent nursing home killings would find a way around any law preventing them from obtaining a gun anyhow, and if not a gun it would be something else, possibly worse. A weapon is only a tool, a gun is not good or evil, it merely becomes an extension of its user's intent. If that intent is murder, then that is what the gun is a tool for, if that intent is to protect others then the gun is just as willing a participant. Our focus should not be on condemning our tools, but examining the society that crea tes people willing to use these tools to murder.

"We don't try to put our opinion on anybody.but PSGA Passes Two New Resolutions BY MAJTHEW MACOMBER macomOO2@uwp.edu Student and family concerns were the main topics at the Parkside Student Government Association meeting on Friday, Feb. 16. Two new resolutions were proposed and passed by the senate. focusing on UW- Parkside's membership With the United Council of UW Students and the ability for UW-Parkside students with families to become more involved with school events. The Spiegelhoff Act, proposed by PSGA senator Michael Spiegelhoff, will place a referendum on the April 2007 bailot giving UW-Parkside students the choice of whether to keep or decline the university's membership with the United Council of UW Students. Currently, all students are taxed a $2 fee per semester toward UW-Parkside's membership. "The Parkside Student Government Association needs to be fiscally responsible with all student dollars [... ] a two dollar tax on the student body per semester is a theft to the patrons of the UW-Parkside for [a] less than favorable result and whereas it is an uneLhicaJ decision to feed a mandatory fee to an organization that is failing, the resolution states" Senator Adam Schemm, who co-sponsored the Spiegel hoff Act, explained to the senate that the United Council of UW Students is a failing organization due to its inability to maintain its staff. The executive director was fired and organizing and communications director resigned, leaving those positions of United Council vacant, currently, Senator Patricia Jensen proposed the second resolution passed at the PSGA meeting Friday. The Family Pass Resolution centers on UW- Parkside students with children and their ability to attend student sporting events and various other events that are held in the evenings and on the weekends. Jensen suggested that UW- Parks ide should offer students the opportunity to purchase family passes so they can attend school events with their children and families. The resolution states that "nontraditional students with children comprise a significant portion of the student population" and that these students "would be willing to participate in attending sports continue to page 3 "Come get that good copy!" · . 2 February 20, 2007 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fox: (262) 595·2295 Ads: uwp_cds@yahoo.com Website: rangernews@uwp.edu Editor·in·Chief And'IW C.

It was exciting to talk with so many people who face the same frustrations and who share similar goals and enthusiasm for reaching them. It's invigorating to look at what other schools' papers are doing and see what works and looks cool and figure out how we can incorporate new ideas into what we're already doing. Hearing inspiring speeches by long-time journalists can rejuvenate one's ambition to investigate and uncover truth. The complicated part after the conference, though, is trying to sustain that enthusiasm when we get back, when we have to put the plan into motion, when the problems we solved in our heads have to be evidenced in print. It's easy to be enthusiastic when you see the results in your head only seconds after envisioning the changes you want to make. Sometimes I ignore or forget the amount of time it takes to implement the new ideas that catch my attention, which is the way I felt on the ride back from the conference.

However, as I finish writing this, we're in the middle of a layout process that started 8 hours later than usual and is characterized by many of the problems we left in Wisconsin on Friday, One of the sessions we attended was a critique of the overall look of a university's newspaper. We stayed around afterward and talked to one of the conductors of the workshop, and one of the things he stressed to us was to break down the project we bad in front of us, to engage in and accomplish smaller tasks, one at a time, In some ways I liken it to the mantra created around this office a couple years ago: make each issue better than the one previous to it. It's a building proces. , and that's what I think we have to do now.

My goal now is to show more and more of what we've learned in the weeks and months ahead and to gradually evidence more and more of the insight and information we've acquired by adding to what is already a publication of which I'm very proud. So, I think we've already begun the process of strengthening our paper. Even before we left, we saw improvement in our Question of the Issue and the amount of news stories we covered.

Upcoming Foreign Film er The Sea Insi Racing Into Spri Page 1 11 Panelof Diverse Women Helps OMS A Speak Out BYTYRONE PAYTON The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs hosted a Speak Out session in respect to March as Women's History Month Wednesday, March I, at noon in the Union Square. As attendants were treated to mixed salad and tomato bisque with breadsticks, theSpeak Out chewed on topics that werecentralized around critical issues facing women of all ethnicity today. To digest such diverse questions, the event was organized with a diverse pane] in mind, and OMSA selected six female representatives of UW-Parkside who covered a wide cultural spectrum of Jewish, African-American, Hmong, Latina. Albanian, and European and Nati ve American ethnicities. . "We picked this diverse panel on purpose," said Mirella Perez, "because we wanted to learn what each individual woman had to say of the diversity that they've lived, the diversity that they've been through, and just their experiences." Perez was one of the active members of the Speak Out, as she helped plan the event and participated as one of the six panelists. Another panelist, Stacey Yang, treasurer of Parkside Asian Organization, voiced her opinion on being part of the noon discussion. "When I think of women of color, I see only black and white," said Yang, "and 1 would like to see brown in there. That's why I took it upon myselfto be part of the panel, because I want an Asian perception. I want Asian women to stand up for themsel ves." The facilitator of the Speak Out, Jacqueline Smith-Gonzalez, is a Women's ISsues committee member and PSGA co-director of the diversity committee. With diversity and women's issues a focal part of her life and organizational responsibilities, Smith commented upon the difficulty of obtaining such a diverse panel. "It was a challenge," said Smith, "because we had to try and find not only somebody to represent different ethnicities, but also that these women knew what they were talking about." What they talked about was sincere issues of appearance and lack of appropriate representation of women today. especially in the media of magazines, television, music, and film.

KELLOGG "There's no joy in Muctville about the situation for French and German, I'd love t~see them both thriving, but It s been a problem for very many years," said Donald Cress, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Despite the common perception that French and German are not worthwhile. Cress stressed the benefits of learning any foreign language: "Whether you use it or not. you, when you think about how the language works, you learn Euglish better, and when you learn English better, you become a better reader and a clearer writer."

BY NICK HONECK Between 10:30 p.m. on Monday, March 21 and 9 a.m. on Tuesday March 22, more than 500 copies of The Ranger News, March II issue were stolen from newsstands allover campus. Henry D. Gaskins, editorin-chief of The Ranger News, immediately restocked the newsstands with about 300 copies. The following morning all of those copies had disappeared as well. In total, more than 800 copies of that issue were stolen. The Ranger News filed a report with UW-Parkside Police on both incidents. The March 11 issue contained many articles that could be seen as controversial by various groups on campus. The big cover story was on Chancellor Jack Keating's recommended dismissal of tenured professor Dr. Xuo (George) Wang. Also in the issue were articles about the cancelled MTV Invasion, the student government elections, an intense < tOO Words or Less,' and of course, the Police Beat. "Some people don't Eke the news we cover or think that we should only portray . thi~g.s in -a .positive light," said Gaskins. "The Administration wouldn't like the Wang story, I hear PSGA doeso't like how we-report tftings sometimes, or it could just be a student who didn't want their name in the Police Beat." The newspaper staff placed a limited number of papers on the stands during Spring Break, fearing the theft of newspapers.

PAGE 16 Helping Hands Volunteer in Florida during Spring Break 2 The Ranger News April 1,200s -- Letter From The Editor Dear Parksidc, Many have noticed, and I have constantly maintained, that The Ranger News has taken a step up this semester in efforts to become an important, critical, and respected information source on campus. One of the reasons we have become more credible than in the past is our reluctance to print anonymous sources and letters. That said, the following anonymous letter was taped to the door of the newspaper office one morning when I came in during Spring Break: Hunter Thompson was not a Doctor of anything. The Doctor business was the result of paying for a "Doctor of Divinity" degree from the mail order arm of the variously named "Church of the New Truth." He employed the title as a jibe at academics and objective journalists. Nothing more. Since there would be no reason for this to be on the office door other than my last letter, where I gave props to Thompson despite his decision to self destruct, this anonymous letter was probably aimed directly at me. First, I guess I should have made clear that Thompson does not have a Ph. D. in anything, so technically, that means he is not a doctor. By the way, Hank Aaron is not a king, either, although he is known as the King of Homeruns. And while James Brown is known as the Godfather of Soul, this title is not dependent on him actually being a godfather of anyone. Hunter S. Thompson is known, by virtue of nickname, as the Doctor of Journalism or the Good Doctor. Besides that, nobody with a Ph. D. is known as a doctor of anything - they have a doctorate in something. And to say that the title is a jibe at academics and objective journalists is wrong. Thompson considered journalists and academically oriented people as comrades, all in it for the sake of truth, according to commentary on the Criterion Edition DVD of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He just had his own "Gonzo" way of doing things, being more of a literary journalist than a conventional investigative journalist. Ithink there is also a gross misunderstanding of Thompson's work, where people see it as promoting some kind of underground drug culture. The truth is that Thompson loved madness, and during the middle to late I960s there was madness in every direction. His 1971 classic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. was <Ianeerie trumpet call over a lost battlefield," according to Thompson, meaning it symbolized the last hurrah to the end of an era when many people who at one point claimed to live for peace, love, and education (or understanding) ultimately committed themselves to an apathetic acceptance. I could go on about the man, but I would trickle out of the scope the anonymous letter presented, and at that point Imight as well do a full-length feature article on my hero, which [ wouldn't do, because our newspaper aims to be specifically relevant to the UW-Parkside community. So, dear anonymous letter writer, thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss Thompson more in The Ranger News. It is definitely pleasurable for me to do so. Parkside, have a good couple of weeks, and we'll see you again on tax day. Henry D. Gaskins Editor-in-Chief He D. Gaskins EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Eachperson may take one newspaper per issue date.

If a parking permit is only needed for a single semester, studentscan purchase that parking permit for $45. As for studentsliving on campus, the new parking permit will be $90forthe year and $86 for a single semester. In relation to the student average for parking at UW schools for the 2005.2006school year, Uw-Parkside permits will be less thanother UW school by an average of $134. The UW ehool average residence life permit is $182 a year. s . The chief of police of U'W-Parkside, Michael Manion, said. he wants students to know that parking pennitswill be rising about $30 for the 2005 - 2006 school year,andthat student fees are not going to pay for parking as they did this year. The reasoning behind the raise is complicated. "In the 2003 - 2004 school year, parking passeswere sold individually because we were using the SLS student information system," said Marzion. "Then westartedusing the People Soft system in the 2004 - 2005 schoolyear, which doesn't have the resources to simply bill studentswho sign up for permits like before, and while PeopleSoft has a function to be able to perform this task, it is not available yet." The reason permit fees declined for the 2004 - 2005 school year was because Marzion proposed the fee to be distributedthrough SUFAC, the student segregated fees committee.Since SUFAC accepted last year, student fees wentup$63, which entitled each student to a parking pass. Since Marzion didn't have to pay people to advertise, collect the money, and distribute the permits. the charge ~; , - ~ forp~king permits this year declined. This cost may have seemed unnoticeable" because it was included in student fees as part of fulltime tuition. The change for the 2005 - 2006school year is that SUFAC, feeling the pressure of many cost increases, denied the proposition to include the parking permit costs in the segregated fees. Then Manion senta report for the projected costs and Vice Chancellor BillStreeterwent to meet with the CbancellOl~'s Cabinet to -, PSGA Election Update BYHenryGaskins Community members interested in next year's studentbody representation can look to tbe Parkside StudentGovernment Association (PSGA) for results on its annual election for president, vice president, SUFAC allarge, and senate members, held March 30 and 31. PSGApresidential candidates included David Koss fromthe Students Talking About Real Issues (STAR) coalition and Nicholas Michael Ravnikar from the ReVOlution movement. Vice presidential candidates were CbristopherLandgrebe from the STAR coalition and August·MarieWagner-Richardson from the Revolution movement. With the ability to vote for up to 21 candidates for Student senate seats, students only saw II options on the ballot, with additional wlite-in slots.

The repercussion is that Marzion now has to raise the cost for advertising, selling, and distributing the parking permits. Parking permits are necessary for faculty, staff, and students to pay for since parking lots here are self-funded, meaning there are no state tax dollars in them. "The parking lot only exists because of the money it generates," said Marzion. Having a self-funding parking lot also means the budget can roll over, meaning if the amount they have for one year isn't used they can use it the following year.

This summer there will be repairs in the Communication Arts parking lot to correct the water drainage problem, and repairs to Inner Loop Road will also be paid for out of the parking budget. Another downfall of having SUFAC reject handling the parking permit fees is that thefts and fake passes are likely to grow, according to Marzion. "This year it wasn't a problem because almost everyone had a parking permit," he said. "We distributed about 4,200 permits." Additional projected costs are included because of the increased enforcement that is expected to take place due to thefts and fake permits. Students are also warned by Marzion to park only where they are permitted, because tickets can add up. The average cost of a parking ticket at UW-Parkside is about $27. Parking tickets range from a mere $10 for an expired meter and/or parking in a closed lot up to $75 for parking in a handicapped section without a permit or plates. "I understand and don't mind paying the money, but now it is a hassle because it is one more thing to keep track of:' Gabrielle Duliois, ajuniortransfer theatre major said. "This past year, since it was included, no one had to fuss over it." Marzion suggested that Residence Life students may want to decide how necessary it is for them to have their car on campus. "Once they are aware of the new situation they can take the proper action for themselves," he said. "I don't see this as a big deal because it's kind of how it was my first year here, and the increase in costs are expected from year to year," said Patrick. Liesch, a junior biology major. "I still think it's at a decent level for students to be paying considering many other alternatives." For more information, students, staff, and faculty can contact Chief Marzion at 262-595-2484.

I J OPEN DIALOGUE BYTAL GOLDWATER The Ranger News holds an open dialogue with various administration officials through the course of each semester. For this issue, the following questions were asked to UW-Parkside Associate Provost Gerald M. Greenfield. What do you do at UW-Parkside? "Officially I have the responsibility to do academic programs. undergrad programming, graduate programs. precollege programs, area of education support services, Ialso work with the grant office," Greenfield said. What do you think about the issue of eliminating activity hour next year? Greenfield said, U[ will give you my answer first. [ think we need to get more information." In addition, Greenfield said, "long answer is that university has a facilities planning committee. It is really a committee that oversees all aspect of the university. One of the issues that had come up was scheduling crunch. There are times that students are on campus in large numbers and time when there is just not a great number of students on campus." Furthermore, Greenfield said, " In any event we have been experiencing some difficulties in scheduling classes in particular academic skills classes. By nature small classes that are limited in class size and have to have multiple sections because many students need it." He goes on to say, " In the fall we actually taught a class in Ranger Hall. Also there are some classes in math that need to be taught 5 days a week, and studio arts classes that have three-hour blocks. All of them were suggesting that prime time hours Monday, Wedsday, Friday forbidden for scheduling was not a good thing because it was hurting growth. This is the origin of the issue." Greenfield went on 10 say that there was not going to be a change for the next academic session because the committee was not anywhere near making a suggestion. Associate Provost Gerald M. Greenfield Do you think the summer and winter session are useful for students? Why? Yes, they are useful because it allows students to move towards a degree at a faster pace. Also it allows for course, which would usually not be able to be offered, to be offered. For example a course an American Lit can go to Williamsburg to see whatthey are learning first hand and if it were during a regular semester they would not have that option to have hands on experience.

Spring Break '05: Students Take Their Hammers to Florida BYCHRISTOPHER ROSIN . . . It starts off sounding like a typical spnng break ~ a group ofcollege kids in a crowded van bound for Florida, but these UWParkEidestudents decided to spend their vacation by accepting this ear's H,bit,t for Humanity Collegiate Challenge, making a difference ;0 lIJ1 are' impacted by natural disaster. "Habitatfor Humanity is a good way to help otber people in need and to learnbuilding skills. Students help build new homes and through this workthey are also participating in building stronger communities. 1 am proud of the work the students have accomplished. They do not just talk about making changes for the belter - they take their hammers, tool belts,and nails and they have fun, too!" said Chris Zanowski, Advisor totheCampus Chapter for Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity, established in 1976, is a not-far-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from theworldand make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Eachyear,college students from across the nation participate in the Habitat [or Humanity Collegiate Challenge during the week of Spring Break. According to Luis Paz, president of Habitat for Humanity Club,"The best part of the trip was meeting new people from other placesbecause I think it is a good experience when you get to meet peoplewho are trying to help just like we were. I learned that .. a lot offamil.ies are still in need." "Itis the best feeling in the world to be able to contribute to buildingthe houses," Treasurer Jose Faz added. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials,Habitat builds and renovates homes, working with the partnerfamilies to whom they are sold at no profit, and financed with affordable,no interest loans. The mission of the UW-Parkside campus chapterof Habitat for Humanity is to build or rehabilitate houses in partnership with Habitat affiliates and homeowners; educate the campus andlocal community about the need for affordable housing and the workof Habitat for Humanity; and raise funds for the work of Habitat. "We shingled, laid plywood on the roof, put paper around the house andworked at the warehouse. [learned there are many people whowant to offer services, but they cannot all physically build.

For some students at UW-Parkside, these events are more than just news reports; they are a part of everyday life. As the war progresses, soldiers are returning home and settling back into their civilian lives. Some of these soldiers are students at (JW-Parkside. In this three-part series, the experiences of three soldiers deployed overseas will be examined. Every soldier deployed overseas holds a unique position. Some soldiers patrol streets offering protection. some drive trucks to deliver supplies. and some speak with citizens to gather intelligence. One group must provide care for all of these soldiers plus the soldiers fighting against them. The members of a combat support hospital hold an especially important role in the fighting of a war. Kyle Ziegler, a 23-year-old chemistry major and sergeant in the U.S. Army reserves, described his experiences serving in a combat support hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan. Ziegler was deployed for nearly a year with the 452nd Combat Support Hospital. During that time he performed the duties of a medical laboratory specialist. He ran diagnostic tests On blood, urine, and other body fluids. Laboratory specialists are also in charge of running the hospital's blood bank. Ziegler was responsible for typing and cross matching units of blood to be given during surgery to critically wounded patients. The 452nd's realm of care extended to the sick and injured American soldiers, as well as the Afghani soldiers and civilians. Ziegler said most of the Afghan trauma patients they received were in need of leg amputations due to the detonation of land mines. He remembered one of these patients well. On August 16, 2003, Zahida, a 10-year-old Afghani girl, arrived in their emergency department. She was bleeding profusely from her severely injured legs. She had stepped on a land mine and needed both legs amputated. Ziegler took immediate action and arranged for four units of whole blood to be co~lected from soldiers to be given during the surgery. With the surgeon's skill, the nurses' aftercare and Ziegler's quick thinking, Zahida survived the' operation and returned home. Ziegler also recalled the unbearable moments of receiving U.S. casualties. "To see a wounded soldier come into the emergency department was heart breaking every time it happened. Even if you have never met Laboratory personnel of the 452nd Combat Suttort Hospital stand inside their mobile laboratory. that person before in your life, they are wearing the same uniform as you and are fighting for the same thins as you." Ziegler explained how every soldier has an 0 underlying motive of what they're fighting for. "They may be fighting the Taliban hidden in the mountain ranges in Afghanistan, but the fighting I'm taking about is the fight to make it home, to see the loved ones that you left behind, the fight for life." Ziegler won the fight, and returned home safely. After his return, he was surprised by how many people are uninformed about issues concerning the war. "Believe it or not," he said, "there is much good that comes from this war, but you'll never hear about it in the media because it doesn't draw the attention of the viewers." In order to learn the truth, Ziegler stressed the importance of asking someone who has experienced the war first hand. Ziegler said, if asked, he would return to war without a second thought. As a volunteer soldier, Ziegler said he would return to war So no one who hasn't volunteered would have to go. He believes a draft would place volunteer soldiers' lives in danger, and he would do anything to prevent it. Although Ziegler's experience was difficult to handle at times, he remains loyal and satisfied that he has made a difference.

' -~--------~--_.$---'-------------------"'" April 1,2005 The Ranger News 7 PSGABEAT -BY CHRISTOPHER ROSIN Recently, Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) has written a resolution not in favor of the Academic Policies Committee potentially eliminating the noon activity hour onMondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays used as a meeting time for campus organizations. The resolution, written by Senator Michael Duchac and sponsored by Chris Semenas and Joe Duncan, stated, "Whereas the students, both commuter and residential, use this time period as the means to facilitate future career capacities, life decisions, and post graduate education and by creating involved and contributing members of society, both on campus and abroad ... Be it resolved that the PSGA does not support any change to the Activity Hour Policy as it stands on 3-24- OS, and will work unstintingly in opposition to any such attempts to change, manipulate, or eliminate the above said policy." The Academic Policies Committee's discussion of uslog the noon to 1 p.m. block on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for other purposes, such as academic skills courses, would be "detrimental to the university and its students," according to the resolution. The resolution also stated that UW-Parkside would be limiting the potential recruitment of new students becoming engaged in campus activities. This will be voted on April] 9 by theAcademic Policies Committee. PSGA has also looked at prerequisite requirements of the university. The Campus Climate Committee looked at students taking Academic Skills Classes 01010J 5 and English won 01within the first 60 credits. They also looked at the "Nelson Denny" Test, which on the first day 083/085 to see if the students really need to be in the class. This could result in smaller classes. and less of a load for teachers. Mrs. Short is working on appropriateness of the Nelson Denny and finding teachers/rooms. On another note, the U.S. Government declared April as "Sexual Assult Awareness Month," which PSGA and the university will support. There will be activities on campus, such as a candlelight vigil on "Take Back the Night," April 13. T-shirts made by survivors of sexual abuse will be displayed on campus and can be obtained at the Women's Center. A Time to Advance BY TYRAN SAFFOLD JR. For some students, the moment they've been waiting for since entering college is quickly approaching - graduation. Graduating students begin counting down their days until departure as soon as the semester starts. Excitement about graduation often over-shadows the nervousness that comes with it, a nervousness that the vast majority of students have before they walk across the stage. Students are nervous about starting their life over in unfamiliar cities and states, being on their own, and basically, getting their life started in the real world. But college was made to prepare students for their journey into the real world, and it is in their best interest to take advantage of the opportunities it provides. There are various signs on walls urging students to join different organizations and get involved. Students may find it in their best interest to take advantage of these different opportunities. Many students will attribute their readiness for graduation to various positions and activities they held during their college years. Whether it is taking a leadership position in an organization, volunteering, or simply choosing the right courses to take, what a student does in college can determine who hires him or her after he or she graduates. Arguably, the most valuable aspect of college life is landing an internship. "Experience is the biggest Jo-Ann Goodyear determiner offuture employment," saidJo- Director of the Career Center Ann Goodyear, the director of the Career Center. "We (the Career Center) highly encourage internships, volunteering, and relevant part-time jobs while in college." Internships may not be as important for first and second year students as they are for third, fourth, or fifth year students, but if you can obtain one early in your college career, you will be gaining valuable experience for a future job in your desired profession. The nervousness that graduating students feel is normal and unavoidable, but there are ways to cope with it. Besides getting involved and landing internships while in college, students have to set aside time while in school to begin job searches. "You have to take small steps in the direction you want to go," said Goodyear. It would be too stressful and time consuming to wait until after graduation to begin searching for jobs. The Internet is a great medium to use to get out and search for jobs. but as Mrs. Goodyear put it, "you cannot just put your application on monster and sit around and wait for something to happen." You have to be an "active jobseeker" in order to get what you want. There are more than a million and a half students that graduate each spring, so there will be a lot of competition for jobs. Many students will graduate with the expectance of landing a job the next week. and these same students find themselves stressing out when they realize that their dream is very unlikely. "It may take some time (finding a job). so to expect to have a job "You cannot just put your application on monster and sit around and waitfor something to happen. " when you graduate is very unrealistic" says Goodyear. There are instances where students have perfect timing and a spot opens up for them as soon as they graduate, or they know somebody that knows someone who will make their job search a little easier. But the majority of graduates have found out that they cannot bank your future on these hopes and dreams. The job market is tough, and graduates have to stay persistent and determined to get the job they want. The key here is patience and the belief that a degree will payoff. When the door finally opens up and you land that interview you have been waiting for, it's time to impress. In an interview, the first impression means everything so fell as, it's time to bring out the business suits, and ladies, this is not the time to show off your body in hopes for having a male interviewer. This is your time to show off the intelligent mind you developed while in school. Resumes are what determine whether or not you get called in for an interview, so the purpose for a resume if for you to "sell yourself." Many students don't know what should and should not be in a resume. and if you don't know exactly what you want your job description to be, now is the time to go to the Career Center for sound help and advice. "Anernployerwantssomeone who is focused, who has what they need. and will improve their bottom line." says Goodyear. "You have to be as familiar as you can be with an employer, the job area, what is typical there, and make sure that you represent yourself as a wonderfully qualified candidate using school, projects. activities, or whatever it is to create this great impression of yourself." The fears that students have are not only academic. There is a social aspect with these feelings as well. Students hold fears that they will lose contact with friends they have made while in college. While it is strictly up to the students to keep in contact with each other, technology has made it that much easier to do so. Thanks to e-mail, telephones, two-way pagers. and a variety of other items, it is virtually impossible to completely lose contact with someone, especially someone who is considered a friend. Since many students will be moving to different states and cities to start the rest of their lives, keeping in touch will take some effort on both parts, but it can be done. Keeping in touch is one issue, but making new friends is a brand new one. The first 15 plus years of school have been structured for most students. We didn't have to look too hard to find friends because they were already in our neighborhoods, or at our schools. But after graduation, you have to reverse your way of thinking. Instead of letting someone else structure your life you have to structure it yourself. We have to get outside of our comfort zone, make new friends, and begin building our lives as adults. It seems scary at first. but since college has allowed us to strengthen our wings, there's no reason to be afraid to fly. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Living On Campus BYERIKA BOUTROS "I live on campus because a commute from Maine would be a real pain in the ass, and 1didn't have a car when I first came here," said senior sociology major Ben Shorey, who lives in the apartments and attends UW-Parkside on an athletic scholarship. Currently about 900 students live on campus here at UW-Parkside. Students have the option to live in an apartment or dorm room. These living spaces have limited single rooms and most residents have at least one roommate. The apartments consist of four bedrooms (one single room), two bathrooms, a living roomand a kitchen. and there are seven people in each apartment. "I definitely prefer apartment style living because I can make waffles at three in the morning in my underwear," said sophomore art major Patience Hank. Freshman chemistry major Dave Columb said, "1 like the apartments better as far as privacy, but the dorms are great too because all of my friends are in a closer vicinity." The apartments cost between $1,410 and$1,845 (depending on room size) per semester and the dorms cost between $1,300 and$1,890 (depending on number of roommates).' Students who live on campus are required to purchase a meal plan, although theoperating hours of Wyllie Market and Parks ide Cafe are limited. "My least favorite thingabout living on campus is the lack of places to buy food on the weekends, and the fOOdthat isn't junk is very minirnal.t'said Shorey. According to various students, these are the top 10pros and cons to living on campus: PROS: I. Save money on gas 2. You can get away from parents. 3. Meet new people easily. 4. No monthly rent payments to worry about. 5. Free internet and cable televison, 6. It's easier to get to class on time. 7. The option of a dorm or apartment. 8. There's always someone close by to get advice from. 9. It's easy to find a study buddy. 10. It minimizes drunk driving. CONS: I.The food, or lack thereof. 2. No pets allowed (except fish). 3. Bad roommate(s). 4. Hard to find silence. 5. Problems with the police (underage drinking tickets tends to be very common). 6. It's not worth the price. 7. Roommate(s) eat your food. 8. You don't always get to pick who you live with. 9. Sharing bathrooms with multiple people can be diffucult. 10. Dividing up cleaning responsibilities can also be difficult. 8 The Ranger News April 1, 2005 The' A to Z' on Social Security BY ANDREW KRUPP On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act bill into law. This government program originall y paid retirement benefits to the primary worker. Over time, various changes in the program has made Social Security what it is today. These changes added survivors benefits, benefits for the retiree's spouse, and disability benefits. Social Security is funded by employers and workers who pay a part of their income toward Social Security through taxes. This money is distributed to people as benefits based on how many Social Security Credits earned throughout a person's work history. Work history is used to determine a person's eligibility for retirement or disability benefits or your family's eligibility for survivor's benefits when one dies. The idea behind Social Security is that the current of workers pay into the system. This money pays for the benefits of retirees and all others who apply for social security. When today's workers retire, the next generation of workers supports the retirees. Recently, however, there has been growing concern about how long social security will last. According to www.whitehouse. gov, in 1950 there were sixteen workers for every beneficiary of Social Security. Today there are only 3.3 workers per beneficiary. As today's "baby boomers" begin to retire, the ratio of workers to beneficiaries will decrease quickJy, which will leave no one to pay for Social Security's benefits, and this has caused much Concern in the top levels of congress. STUDENT ORG. BEAT - Bush said Social Security, on its current path, is "headed toward bankruptcy," and he urged Congress to «pass reforms that solve the financial problems of Social Security once and for all." Bush also said, 'We must make Social Security permanently sound, not leave that task for another day." There is, however, no clear cut way the president plans to fix the problem as of yet. However, according to the president, any plan that is created will not increase taxes and will be based more on a system of private accounts that workers could put their money into, rather than having a program funded solely on taxes. These personal accounts would be entirely voluntary and the money put into them would "go into a conservative mix of bond and stock funds that would have the opportunity to earn a higher rate of return than anything the current system could provide," according to Bush. The idea is that workers, could put money away for their future and create a "nest egg" which would supplement a worker's traditional social security check upon retirement. This plan sounds effective, but is it? Many people around the country will tell you a different story on how well Busb's plan will benefit America. In a Special Report entitled Social Security A Daring Leap in the February 14'" article of magazine Newsweek, it states "Shifting to private accounts, under Bush's plan, would lead to massive borrowing by the federal government, adding to our already huge deficits." The government would have to borrow money in order to pay for the losses of income that would go into private accounts instead of paying for retiree's benefits. There is also a concern about potential cuts in Social Security benefits to retirees that SOme believe may happen under Bush's plan. In a Democratic response to the state of the Union Address, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Bush's plan was dangerous and would lead to benefit cuts for retirees. "There's a lot we can do to improve Americans' retirement security," said Reid, "but it's wrong to replace the guaranteed benefit that Americans have earned with a guaranteed benefit cut of up to 40 percent," he said. "Make no mistake, that's exactly what President Bush is proposing." There is also an ideological battle being fought over what the purpose of Social Security is. One side sees social security as a potential investment. By putting money that would originally be going toward Social Security into pri vate accounts, interest earned on these accounts would increase wealth over time. The other side sees Social Security as a safety net for retirees and their families in our society, which is the aim of our present Social Security system. "It's a social program," said Democratic Senator of New Jersey, Jon Corzine, "not an investment program. Wall Street should keep their hands off it." There are obvious differences in opinion on how Social Security should be fixed. However, both sides agree that Social Security is an effective and necessary program that has served our society for generations and must continue to serve generations to come. This Issue: The Women's Center BY NATHANIAL BRYAR The UW-Parkside Women', Center was established in the fall of 1989 to provide a safe place for all women on campus to receive support and information. The Women's Center has recently finished up with an event called "Making Her Mark." This event recognizes woman students and female staff members who made a mark in the lives of women on campus. The students wrote on how these various women affected their lives, which was signed by the dean and presented to the various nominees. The Women's Center is involved in events that highlight issues that effect more than just the women on campus. "Divas closet," for example, was an event to collect slightly-worn dresses and other formal wear that is donated to a women's shelter, which gives the clothing out to women who can't afford to dress in the kind of expensive, formal clothing that is required to get the jobs that they really deserve. This has had a real impact on the lives of women trying to find ajob and get out of the various women's shelters and be on their Own. The Women's Center is currently involved in the "Clothes Line Project" which is a nation-wide event. It lets people who have been abused physically, mentally or sexually design a shirt that tells their different stories. This is done in the hope that women will feel like there are other people out there so that they know that they are not the only ones. It's also a way that women can show unity and support for one another. Once the event is done. the Women's Center will hang the shirts up on the wall for everyone to see. This takes place the last Wednesday of March. Take Back the Night, another event that the Women's Center is sponsoring is on April 13. This event is geared toward letting women know that they don't have to be afraid to go out on campus at night. There will be woman speakers present that wiII be gi ving speeches geared toward the event. The Women's Center is looking for book donations specifically on women's issues, poetry and anything that deals wiLh women in general. If you need to contact the Women's Center because of abuse or just because your interested in joining and helping out with different Women's issues, you can use extension 2170 or just walk over to the Women's Center where they wiII be able to direct you.

Professors should not be di . sed aaainst the wishes of the student body." Is-ntIS 0 To accomplish their goal the Revolution is trying to change the Wisconsin State Constitution,section 36.09(5). This section states, "The students of each institution orcampus subject to the responsibilities and powers of the board, the president, the chancellor,and the faculty shall be active participants in the immediate governance of and policy development for such institutions." The section goes on to state that the studentswill have the responsibility for student life, services and interests, student fees, and a right to organize. Section 36.09(5) does not mention anything about decisions on faculty arrangements and student involvement. This is what the Revolution would like to have changed. "That's where members of the Revolution believe that the Chancellor is able 10 still dismiss George Wang despite PSGA's resolution last semester," said Ravnikar. The petition was started all March 21 and there seems to be mixed reactions from students. "Some people read it and don't necessarily understand what the language of it meansor the implications in terms of the state constitution," said Ravnikar. However, by March 24 the Revolution had gained at least 100 signatures. The petition is currently being circulated throughout UW-Parkside. "The petition will have to extend beyond Parkside on a state wide level," said Ravnikar, "There is going to be a United Council meeting next year and regardless of how the election turns outI will be bringing the petition." The Revolution will also be contacting groups that are similar to themselves and presenting the petition to them. They know of similar groups at Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay Universities as well as others. These groups wiJl be approached along withgroups such as the Young Democrats and Conservatives in the UW Universities withthe hopes that support can be gained across the state. Ravnikars belief is that local media such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel have done a good job of covering the students support for situations like George Wang's dismissal. Local media has, however, missed the real issue which is the fact that he is being dismissed against the consent of a majority of the student body, and that there was student representation taken into consideration. Although the Revolution was created before any of [he members were made aware of the Wang dismissal it did have an effect on the petition itself. "Dr. Wang's dismissal played a very big role for myself and a number of other students in terms of eviscerating the unequal distribution of power in the university," said Ravnikar. COnti,luedfrom cover story Although the event was advertised as a bake sale and promoted as a celebration of traditional marriage, members of Rainbow Alliance said the literature being passed around by The Young Conservatives was clearly anti-gay marriage. One document stated "The health risks of gay sex" according to a 1978 study advenised on catholiceducation.org. Another handout written by journalist Robert H. Knight stated "Givins non-marital relationships the same status as marriage does not expand the definition of marriage; it destroys it." Knight was one of the leading draftsmen for the Defense of Marriage Act, a bill that was signed into law by Bill Clinton in September of 1996, which specifically defines marriage as "Only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." Knight's brochure also stated that "As society rewards homosexual behavior, more Youngpeople will be encouraged to experiment and more will be discouraged from Overcoming homosexual desires."

"We want to know why this happened,"saidGaskins,emphasizing that who did it was less relevant. "What was the thing that made someone take them (the papers)?" The Ranger News prints 2,500 copies of every issue. This theft should be a big deal to the student body for many reasons, according to Gaskins. "Not only are these people stealing from students who pay for the newspaper through student fees, but they are stealing from our staff, who works hard to produce every issue for the community," said Gaskins. "The first issue is free on a first come, first serve basis, but if you want more than one issue, they are $1 a piece," said Gaskins. "If someone wants two or three issues, we wont make a big deal about it. But 500 is out of the question." It is mention of extra newspapers costing $1, which is contained on page two of every paper that makes this theft into a crime where the person who stole the issues could be held responsible in a COUlt of law and suffer whatever penalties are prescribed to this situation. Unlimited free issues are available to staff and faculty for academic use in classes, and those interested are encouraged to get in touch with The Ranger News staff (rangernews@uwp.edu). There are about 100 copies left of the controversial March II issue. Any student interested in picking one up is encouraged to come to The Ranger News office, Wyllie D139C, for one free copy.

Bickering such as this only serves to divide us as students & people- -a division that forces us to neglect our responsibilities for the future improvement of our collective lot.

Good luck hard worker Tori ' ;PriIL 2005 .-0-- The Ranger News 11 communication Break-Down: An open letter to the campus community Earlylast week, a certain thoughtful colleague of mine posted the following question nthisuniversity'S faculty Iistserve in the Course of an exchange on racism: "Certainly one o auld look into one's own soul, but will that change institutional racism? My question is sh id ?" , re Does anyone have any leas. since . More than a week passed; there was not a SINGLE response from the faculty. Now, just what are we to make of this defeaning silence? That all is hunky-dory here at Parkside?Or should we treat the silence itself as a symptom of sorts? The latter is what I would t f what'l t'Racism" b . argue-- but a symp am 0 w a. acism may e too quick and easy a diagnosis. Perhapsthe problem runs much deeper. Now, I should make it plain here that I don't feel pe tent to issue some sort of definitive pathological report on the condition of the com nation'suniversities. But one thing is certain: something is seriously amiss. Look at the sheerviciousness of the backlash against Professor Ward Churchill of the University of Colorado.The powers-that-be allover the country have managed to produce a climate of fear on university campuses by casting aspersions on the "integrity" of anyone who dares to challenge their dogmas. Post 9111, administrations everywhere feel newly emboldened to corne down heavily on anyone who may pose an awkward challenge to theircomforting certitudes. There is an alarming increase in "touchiness" toward any expression of dissent - and a new ruthlessness as the way to deal with "troublemakers." The question I would like to pos~ to the university community is tbe following: is this an appropriateatmosphere to foster on an educational campus? Why and how have things degenerated to this extent? Can we hope to start an all-encompassing dialogue on this vitalquestion - a dialogue that involves students, community, staff, legislators, etc. to beginto address the problem? To help initiate such a dialogue, I am willing to offer a provisional diagnosis; in all modesty,I propose the following: THAT THE UNIVERSITY AS AN INSTITUTION (HERE AND ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY) HAS TURNED INTO A SELFPROPAGATINGBUREAUCRATlC MACHINE WHOSE PURPOSES HAVE BECOME INIMICALTO THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION. The bureaucracies have become ends untothemselves. Any question posed to the bureaucracy elicits only one kind of response: a torrent of legalisms. It has become impossible to engage the bureaucracy on any substantivematter. Any questioning of what it does is treated as a threat to its authority. The response is identical from the institutions of faculty governance. What then is one to dounderconditions of such stasis? Unfortunately. after many futile efforts at raising these issuesover the years with the university administration, r have been forced to arrive at the conclusionthat it is highly unlikely that any solution will emerge from within the very institutionsresponsible for the prevailing inertia. This can only mean that the impetus for changemust come from outside: students. facuJty, community. Otherwise we'll continue to see the crustiness, the intolerance, the parochialism. of the bureaucracy harden more andmore. These are obviously matters that ought to be debated extensively, but no such discussion is possible if we all get increasingly "touchy" about our dearly held beliefs beingsubjected to any form of questioning. I have a very modest proposal to put before the campus community for us to get started.There is the ongoing matter of Sociology professor George Wang's dismissal aboutwhich students have rallied, allegations of racism have been made, unfavorable mediareports have appeared, aU of which have brought the name of the university into considerable disrepute in the community. In spite of all this, botb administration and faculty governance continue to pretend that this is purely a "personnel matter" to be settledthrough the usual legalistic channels; having served on bodies that faculty can "appeal"their cases to under such circumstances, I can say with some assurance that even though they appear neutral on paper, such bodies cannot in practice be relied upon to give the substance of the matter <as opposed to the pure legalistic form) anything resembling a fail' hearing. I have recently made a number of appeals using the forum of governance e-mail to my faculty colleagues regarding Professor Wang -- hut to no avail. The bureaucracy always has the same standard response: it is a "personnel matter" and must not be debated in public forums. But what if the legal channels of the university are infected with the same systematic bias? Could one then not be pardoned for wondering if Professor Wang's different ethnicity may work against him? OK, perhaps "racism" is too strong a charge to make. But let's also remember that "racism" doesn't work in the old Jim-Crow way anymore. It goes under all kinds of other polite labels; what remains common, though, is that the powers-that-be can count on a hidden consensus among "regular folks" that so-and-so is a "trouble-maker", "weird". "out-of-line" etc. THAT IS EXACTLY HOW RACISM WORKS TODAY. So, are we dealing with out-and-out racism in the case of Professor Wang? Of course not. Is it outrageous to suggest that there is an undercurrent of racism in the treatment meted out to an uppity Chinese immigrant professor who has mounted a challenge to the institution? I don't think so. But however we choose to interpret the general apathy to Professor Wang's predicament (with the stellar exception of the students who have rallied to his defense), 1 have a modest proposal to resolve the present deadlock. It is quite common in the business world that when there are industrial disputes that don't admit of easy resolution, external mediation is sought before proceeding to such drastic steps as dismissal or litigation. There is a long tradition of this in the labor-relations literature with well-established procedures for arbitration. The first thing that strikes a business faculty member like myself is that this obvious step was by-passed altogether for no good reason. Let me stress that it's important that such mediation take place by DISINTERESTED parties, and not by those internal to the organization with axes to grind. If we are indeed genuinely interested in combating racism -and not with mouthing meaningless slogans about "diversity" - then J propose that this campus take a first step in that direction by seeking external mediation to resolve the dispute concern.ing Professor Wang. I would further suggest that the initiative for this come from some of the WffiTE members of the faculty and the administration. Professor Wang is an asset to this campus, as even a cursory glance at his vita will establish. We all know that an understanding of China will be increasingly important for all in the coming century - certainly for faculty like me in Business. Although we have a number of Chinese faculty members on campus with expertise in a number of different areas, Professor Wang is the only one who conducts active research on China, the only one who has organized study tours to China. tbe only one who has on-going relationships with major Chinese universities, the only one who has secured a large number of funded grants on China. None of these academic contributions appears to count for anything in the charges brought against Professor Wang; the administration seems perfectly willing to sacrifice the only person on the faculty with academic expertise on China and jeopardize the entire reputation of the university, all to make the point as to just who is boss around here. It is an utterly short-sighted step unbecoming of those who claim to uphold the values of education against those of bureaucratic propagation. It is my sincere hope that this appeal will not go unheeded by the campus community. Sincerely, Roby Rajan Professor of Business , '\ I Can you create comics? Do you want them published?

This new club on the UWParkside campus will face the challenges of being a new club while also training for, and playing, one of the most physical and exerting sports around. The unofficial coach of this new team is Maren Kirkegaard, who has played rugby now for about seven years in places such as Iowa, Minneapolis, and Chicago. Kirkegaard is the one who is getting the women ready for the challenges of the rugby pitch, or field, by training and recruiting members along with other members of the ream, Although there has been a men's team at Uw-Parkside for many years, this is a new concept for the women on campus. "This is a second auempr at having a women's rugby team," said Kirkegaard, who believes that the club's attempt will be successful. "I'm really excited that a lot of our players are freshman and sophomores, which means that after having their first season of rugby they sti II have three more years, six more seasons to help out with recruiting and get bigger and better in rugby." The women's team is an organizational club at UW-Parkside. This means that they are not a varsity team and are able to accept members that do not actually attend the university. The majority of members must be students of the university. Currently only three ... members of the team are not full time UW-Parkside students, according to Kirkegaard. The biggest hurdle that the learn has faced has been obtaining funding. Since the te~ is considered a club rather than a varsity team, they receive minimal funding from the university and student fees. This means that they have h d . a to rely on club dues, fundraising, and sponsorship to buy equipment, pay for expenses, and buy jerseys TI' . . 11 Syear they WIll have to use the men's old' Jerseys due to a shortage of funds. Some of these Jerseys are completely Lorn and not even wearable. Recruiting for the team has b . een very Important.

Beinga new team on the rugby circuit will make this ~asoninterestingand probably difficult in the beginning. "NobOdyhasany experience, this is just a fledgling team,everybody'sbrand new," said Kirkegaard. "The b<nefit isthateverybody is open to learning anything and everybody is super enthusiastic. 1 think I can safely ,., thateverybodythat's been involved so far has been instantlyenthusiastic about rugby."

According to Kirkegaard, tbeyhavebeen willing to help in many ways including someof the basic aspects of practice·~:md giving pointers whenthey could be given. ~ The Ranger News ' 13 /. Members of the women's rugby learn practice on a cold afternoon in March. One of the great things about rugby, according to Kirkegaard, is its diversity. Rugby is the only sport that Ireland plays as a unified country, and the only SPOlt that color barriers don't apply in South Africa. This shows the camaraderie that rugby endorses. " _"The world is gone when you're on the pitch, the only thing that matters is rugby, your teammates, and your opponents," said Kirkegaard. ' A rugby tradition that cannot be ignored is the Zulu tradition, "There is a very special rugby tradition that.is' based on a rugby player's first tri [or score]; immediately they're a Zulu Warrior;" said Kirkegaard. "Zulu-Warri-;'rs get naked except for their cleats and socks and streak the pitch down to the end and back get dressed again and start playing." This will be something that the UW-Parksidewomen will do and will gaina great deal of r~~ect for, according to Kirkegaard. Many women's teams will not make the teap and Zulu at the game. They may still Zulu at a party or as a team but not in the true tradition. "As tradition has it, and as we will have it, you Zulu on the pitch when you score," said Kirkegaard. "It soun?s silly but there is a huge amount of respect when people actually Zulu, especially when women's teams Zulu,'because women can be shy, and we're not shy." • "Everyone on the team is going to do it, so 1guess the best thing to do is not even think: about it just get up and run as fast as you can to that goal line," said Wojnicz in response to the Zulu. According to Kirkegaard, the best thing about rugby is that anyone can play. Rugby is a SPOIt that doesn't discriminate against height or weight; anyone can jump in and play. Rugby is mostly about the love of the game and the camaraderie that is shared while playing. .,. in the decision for a lot of students. To be a member, you must be willing to travel, come to practices, and enjoy the company of the other players." There are no 'full ride' scholarships or lucrative financial contracts from professional teams. The thing that sets rugby apart from most other organizations is that rugby is played purely for the game itself, according to Traber. "Just because we don't have support and scholarships for players, doesn't mean that we're bad," he said. "We're a small team, but we compete well." Even though there are colleges like UC Berkeley and Penn State that have rugby as a varsity sport, Traber said he believes that it probably won't gel picked up by UW-Parkside because it isn't as popular as other sports, which means that it's not going to be a varsity sport anytime soon. That is not to suggest that there is no hope for the club. "Parkside holds a vote in the Wisconsin Rugby Union, a governing body of rugby organization throughout the state," said Traber. "'We are-a tier 2 team, which is like being a NCAA II team. That means that if we do well at the state competition, we can move up to the tier I,or NCAA Iequivalent. level." Combining this exposure with traveling around the state, UW-Parkside's rugby club will broaden its outreach on a statewide scale. "Having a women's rugby club will help all the rugby organizations because there are more teams developing at the high school level that will see that there is progression to the collegiate level. Youth development is big in Wisconsin, so any recognition brings attention to ~ur sport," said Traber. "If nothing else, the women's team will help students get out and get involved in sports instead of doing nothing." Playing for the men's rugby team means that there's a commitmenlLO teammates. travel, and training will be high priority for any potential players. There is plenty of room on the team for players of all skill level and athletic ability. The team encourages all students and community members to take a chance and discover what the rugby team has to offer, UW-Parkside's men's rugby team in action.

In the past there was a men's rugby club at UW-Parkside. "Back in the '70s there was the Kenosha-RacineMen's team," said Murphy. "They competed above the collegiate level,but they didn't actively recruit and gamer new interest from the community. Because of that, it dwindled into non-existence," Thatstate of affairs is far from the current case. Anthony Merten, a UWMilwaukeestudent who used to attend UW-Parkside, has been playing rugby for fiveyears. "Thisis a sport that takes me a long time to excel at," said Merten. "It has a steep learning curve and is definitely one of the toughest things that I've done." Keepingfit is a major benefit for this player. "The level of athleticism is rei . . utvely high at our club level, but, naturally, the more physically fit you are thebetteryou'll play," said Merten. "We're not really competitive for starters nght, now. We'll take anybody and whip 'em into shape. Everyone is more than welcome to play." _ Hekeepscoming back to play the "fly half'-a player who receives the ball from the back of the serum, In some ways he's comparable to a quarterback: There'reno forward passes in rugby, only passes to the side and the back.

On March 7. the entire cast was called to talk business and do a full read through, reading their lines aloud to reintroduce themselves to the script after auditions, which were held in the beginning of February. With production on Machinal now wrapped up, the cast and crew are ready to run full speed ahead on this project. Assistant stage manager Gabrielle DuBois, began going to production meetings in the second week of January. and continued working through Spring Break. "I am honored and excited even though I know it'll be hard work," DuBois said of her first stage management position. The romantic leads went to two actors are new to the department this year. Casey McConacbie will play tbe role of Laura, a young woman who finds love in tbe wrong place, and Derek Ewing will be playing the young Eugene, a poetic individual. Although the main plot centers around Mr. And Mrs. Gant, there is a connective love story that blossoms between Laura and Eugene. McConachie, who has been performing since she was young, said, "I'm very excited to have the role Ido for this production. Iwill be working very hard until ~ this production is over and I couldn't be more grateful." Ewing and McConachie joined the theatre program in fall of 2004, and both were in the production of My Fair Lady. Ewing had a role in Machinal. "The difference between Machinal and Look Homeward Angel," Ewing said, "is that even though Machinal made a daring impact and was brilliant, Look Homeward Angel is one of those stories anyone can relate to. about all the different levels of love." Tnother theatre department news, several students will be directing and acting in short plays for Directing I and IT classes. Students of those classes were assigned to pick a section of a play that was to be approved by Dean Yonk, professor and director at UW-Parkside. Then the students had to recruit two to three actors to present it in front of the class. Community members can see the 10 minute plays featured on May 8. Performances of the short plays are free and open to the public. got power?

"Be able to say 'no' by knowing your 'burning yes'" which means try to say no to things that people ask you to do. Miller delivered his presentation with energy and passion, motivating students to be leaders. Sometimes, he said, people really want to do something, but they have too many things on their plate. If someone overloads themselves with commitments or responsibilities, when that one opportunity comes along that they really want, he or she will not be able to do it because they won't have enough time ot energy to commit. "I hope to accomplish in today's seminar to help people to recommit themselves to an organization, their job, and to be able to help some one be better," Miller said, "and to take some of my energy that Ihave and be able to take that energy into their own lives." Miller earned his bachelor's degree in English from Fairfield University in Connecticut and his master's degree in public administration from Framingham State College. He has 15 years of experience working in administrative and sales positions within corporate and university settings. Before his consulting career he was the director of tbe Student Center and Student Leadership Development at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut for four years. He was responsible for the commuter student services, Greek life, leadership development, student center, student governance and organizations and student programming. Miller also worked as a sales representative for United Airlines and held additional management positions in student life and activities at Wentworth Institute of Technology and Loyola University in Chicago. Since 1988 he has volunteered for National Association for Campus Activities (NACA). He was also on the Board of Directors from 1999-200 I. Miller suggested that before getting involved, students should familiarize themselves with the group thal they want to be involved with. This is how people form and develop community, according to Miller. "Take risks," Miller said. "Sometimes, one needs to step out of one's safety zone, risk rejection, and set out to do something without knowing the outcome. "Be positive. Know that one can do something and accomplish a goal. Set goals that are specific and measurable. This means that it can be reached in a certain time." Melissa Sell said, "I heard about it from Mike Schuett, and it looks good on a resume." Mike Scbuett said, "I want to be a better leader." Katrina Edwards, a communications major, said, "I'm an R.A., and it's required that I be here. I'm here for the training." Shannon Holbert, who is in sociology, said, "[Miller's presentation] definitely made me put things into a different light with such examples as time management, goals and motivation," she said. "Everything was great." Jeanni Simpson, a communications major, also said, "More students should have been here. Everybody could get something out of it." "It's high energy, very entertaining and informative. " P ril1."2005 ~ The Ranger News CLEF NOTES One Emcee and One DJ BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR Beginning an album called Hip Hop and The Black Arts Movement with an intra that leads into the first song with the words, " ... crazy folks always misuse folks they love," Aquil & DSteele must have known they would provoke some serious thought in their listener. However, throughout the album these south side Chicago natives weave a coherent tapestry of the black diaspora over the eleven tracks that follow with well-blended rhythms and intricate metrics that test the flexibility of the hip-hop lyric. "The Gift" is a track that calls for commitment from every listener to their own unique abilities. It also thankfully subverts some themes of traditional dead white guys like Robert Frost with, "Itook the dark road full of inside jokes and simple pleasures." "My objects are projects that keep my concepts employed/process the complex topics y'all avoid/and box them in context y'aJi can enjoy," Aquil flows over the downbeat in "Can Iget Opeo?" Almost everyone can feel the inspiration enveloping these words just by scanning them. Poetics always implies economics, and "Back to a Place (B.A.M)" doesn't only keep the topic front-and-center in its form, but discusses it openly in an analysis of the slave trade that "scattered capital to make the labor trade greater" to projects and segregated neighborhoods that are "fertile soil" for a nascent future hope. Employing hypotactic sentences like, "Commit to changing each one of my commitments change me," shows this duo not only saying, but doing a') well--something many contemporary artists seem to overlook. The album has such ample instances of accountability to the audience that at times you'll wish a book would be so engaging. "Best of Both Worlds" details the pleasure and difficulty of a long distance relationship, pulling imagery of constellations, precious stones and physics together in Aquil's ode to his fiance. "King of Hearts" is a narrative backed up by a slap bass line and high-hat. The lyrics identify the main character by the cards he carries "because a little superstition helps hold the fears back." It details one man's honest pick-up-line of a lifetime, where "the King of Hearts" asks "Big Momma" to be his partner in self-determination. Knowing that she gets game spit at her every day, he says right off the bat, "All that 'shorty can I get some?' conversation is lame." One can recall a scene off the block with Fred Hampton when he suggests they start a free breakfast program. Though an intense personal expression of two collaborators, it's clear the goal of this album was opening the minds and eyes of others. and one would hope that more people get tbe opportunity to check this album out. Inquiries should be addressed to aquilc@sbcglobal.net. Goes to Show You What's In a Name BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR Beginning his EP album Beat Box Vignettes Vol. t, Chicago emcee Seemore Perspective asks his audience, "what good is a soft-spoken crowd rocker?" From start to finish, this album is a not just a musical but also a literary experience. Perspective's dynamic vocals and shocking mouth-born beats tempt the listener along as he subverts hip hop's rhetori.c of bravado for a "word puree" of style and substance all the while. It's also worth noting that Mr. Perspective not only provided the beats and lyrics, but also produced and recorded the entire album. On "Dream Sequence," Seemore and guest-emcee Itch 13 craft a truthful account of the all-too-familiar constraints of time we face every day in the guise of an alarm clock (vl'm still yawnin~When I'm in the middle of a dream"), as well as bringing in philosophlcal and social commentary with lines like "and aren't we only sleeping?/and aren't we only dreaming?" . . . I h "sleep IS my The lyrics also evidence deep. surrealist rnetap lor sue as wetsuit," that extend the meaning of the entire song. Rounding out the track a cappella, Perspective gives listeners something to hope for: "When l' III in the middle of a dream/. interrupred/l'm sooo tired/of this attack upon my sUbstam.:e/ll~ .my head/pushin' away the numbness/Lift my head/And lift my sptrtt up with it." . .

A four-song extended play like this will always leave a listener wanting more. The band comprises Maritza and Belinda Cervantes, as well as occasional base from John Germlnaro and beat boxing from the versatile Seemore Perspective. At times, Flamenco stylings will bleed into folk and hip-hop influence, such as on the track "Songwriter Man," where the sisters Cervantes both bemoan and celebrate the tragic appeal of artistic, emotionally unavailable men. They seem to offer a piece of honest advice when they say, "Your heart is fragile/to several angles/and in the middle of the night/your conscience got you frazzled/love him up/but let him go/see in a moment or two ... 1 told you so" The song offer listeners second- and first-person perspectives, changing from the voice of the above lines to, "when Ilook into your eyes you don't seem bothered," which begs everyone the question whether or not we ever do. In contrast, "Hippie's Song" is a much more down-beat croon that tastes like love. Lines like "he followed me/up into my world/ not afraid of my love/attacking every tum/not afraid to get burned" combined with the sweet, painful contradiction of "he followed me/ and never will" help the track into reality, Giving listeners something to meditate on, the track closes with a repeated refrain fragment "he will/always," delivered with a sincere mystique that speaks to both conventional relationships as well as the unrequited. Luna Blues Machine is definitely going to be making some waves locally in the next few months, and they're planning a tour in the not-so-distant future. Look out for this great blend of funk, feminine energy and passionate music to soon blow up. ",...,.,..... Seemore Perspective said, "See more perspective." Photo Rebecca McDonald. Who's On Point BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR Idris Goodwin is not just an «emcee who performs facilitations," and, although he says be's not "a poet or a prophet" but "jus~ a man.:' with WorkHusdeThinkWrite he goes beyond a pure celebration of hip hop's rich history to provoke his audience to participate, calling for "adventure, not indentured servants." In fact. Goodwin has been very busy in Chicago over the last few years. He released two albums with ~arnl Cre~, w:rote. directed., and produced multiple plays--including his ~ulTent "Hip Hop Opera entitled Pluto--with the Hermit Arts Collective. and IS currently teaching at Young Chicago Authors. Tracks like "Stuck (The Mule Song)" and "Mr. Hipster" call out do-nothing scenesters on their admitted consumerist a~athy, asking them to move toward action--regardless of what form It takes.

The committee failed to work under the laws that gov- ern them. Due to this failure at least one student club, and the public's rights were vio- lated. On the afternoon of Sun- day February 10, 2002 The Ranger Newspaper's Execu- tive Committee had a meeting to discuss The Ranger's bud- get with SUFAC. At this meet- mg PSGA President and vot- ing member of SUFAC Joe Rucker stated; "This is a closed meeting. It is my con- stitutional right not to be recorded [audio] and I choose to use it." Joe Rucker was wrong. The Ranger's and the public's right had been VIOlat- ed. According to the State of Wisconsin's Open Meeting Laws 19.82-3 an '''Open ses- sion' means a meeting which is held in a place reasonably accessible to members of the public and open to all citizens at all times.' Some of the rea- sons a meeting may be closed are "(a) Deliberating a case which is the subject of any judicial or quasijudicial trial or hearing before that govern- mental body. (b) Considering dismissal, demotion, licens- ing or discipline of any public employe or person licensed . by the board or commission or the investigation of charges against such person, or con- sidering the grant or denial of tenure to a university faculty member, and the taking of formal action on any such matter; (f) Considering finan- cial, medical, social or person- al histories or data, or involved in such problems or investigations. II According to the Sunshine Laws the meet- ing was considered open. Therefore SUFAC had an ,obligation to follow the laws concerning an open meeting. They did not. The Ranger not only had the right to record the session they had the right to be accommodated to in this request. According to the State of Wisconsin's Open Meeting Laws section 19.90 "Whenever a governmental body holds a meeting in open session, the body shall make a reasonable effort to accommo- date any person desiring to record, film or photograph the meeting." The only stipu- lation to this is that the recordin\\ may not be con- ducted 'in a manner that interferes with the conduct of the meeting or the rights of the participants." Instead of accommodating The Ranger's request to record the session the committee unlawfully prevented the newspaper from making a taped record- ing of the meeting. SUFAC also violated sec- tion 19.88-3 of the Open Meetin~ Laws. This law states, 'The motions and roll call votes of each meeting of a governmental body shall be recorded, preserved and open to public inspection". The repeated attempts made by The Ranger to obtain the min- utes from the December 9, 2002 and February 10, 2002 budget meetings have contin- ually been ignored. It was necessary for The Ranger to contact Steve McLaughlin, the advisor for SUFAC in order to obtain a copy of his hand written notes from one of the meetings. The Ranger has yet to receive its requested copies of the written minutes from the budget meetings of the fall semester that it began asking for on February 20,2002. The inaccessibility of these meet- ings shows the SUFAC com- mittee disregarding the Sun- shine Laws's statement that the minutes be "open to pub- lic inspection." If the minutes are unavailable upon a direct request they are surely unob- tainable for public inspection. The Ranger did receive copies of what SUFAC consid- ered minutes from two sepa- rate meetings from SUFAC Chair Azeza Hammad. The Ranger was required to wait while Harnmad "typed them up." SUFAC's By-Laws state; "The Vice Chair shall main- tain accurate minutes for all SUFAC meetings." These are the minutes that The Ranger received. continued page 8 Ranger budget frozen by SUFAC Benjamin Schmidt Co-Editor-In-ehief O n Friday March Ist, the day that student work- ers receive paychecks, The Ranger received nOhf1c~- tion that the newspaper s budget was frozen by the Seg- regated University Fees Allo- cation Committee (SUFAC). The document dated Wednes- day February 27th, was placed anonymously in The Ranger's 'Out' box. The Ranger's staff feels that the notification of a bud- get freeze came just in time to prevent this very issue of the paper from being released because of the articles dealing with SUFAC committee bud- getary decisions. for 2002-2003 campus organizattons a~d articles about errors In SUFAC's conduct. Notifica- tion also came just in time to block The Ranger's employ- ees from receiving their pay- checks for work already done. The letter including gram- matical and typographical errors follows ... SUFAC has frozen your budget for the year 2002. Since the school semester has begun you have only written two news paper (sic) articles and many they are of poor quality (sic). You have not kept students informed on (sic) important issues such as Student Government Elec- tions. You have not generat- ed interest in campus events and programs besides a BSU Calender (sic). The paper does not give a good example of what the university is all about. There are other cam- puses with similar size (sic) to our campus and their paper (sic) is more professional that (sic) The Ranger. Your consti- tution needs to be revamped as soon as possible in order to give a fair chance for all the students that (sic) want to be active with~ your org~niz~- tion. There IS lack of diversi- ty within your organization, and we recommend that you work on your recruitment and retention (sic). Many stu- dents have complaint (sic) about the lack of quality and information." The document only gives SUFAC as its author but neglects to list the committee member names and signa-- tures. Which committee members agreed to the freeze of The Ranger's funding, doc- umentation giving proof of authority to make such deci- sions, and documentation supporting any precedence for such actions were all lack- ing. PSGA Advisor Steve McLaughlin acknowledged that he was aware of a docu- ment being sent to freeze The Ranger's funding, but said that he did know about the memo's content. == '-.',,","!V·C,,"' K"-' ,"<0,0"''''= THE!! Fi~NGE!!R March8·29,_ SUFAC Completes the Budgets for 2002·2003 It is interesting to note that each member of SUFAC belongs to another club as well. Each member is also a member of PSGA. SUFAC Chair Azeza Hammad is also a member of Latinos Unidos and the International Club: Along with being the PSGA President, and a member of SUFAC Joe Rucker also belongs to the Black Student Union. There is no law forcing the members of SUFAC to excuse themselves when the budgets of the other clubs that they belong to are being voted upon. When asked if anyone was going to excuse them self from the PSGA budget voting Joe Rucker explained that the Senate had already passed the new proposed budget and all the voting members of SUFAC are also members of PSGA and "If we didn't vote how would it get passed?" ley's budget making the amount of student dollars requested by PSGA $49,500. With the reductions made from Mandley's budget PSGA's budget is reduced from $84,300 in the 2002-2003 year to $49,500for the upcom- ing year. Rucker felt that PSGA "...had reached a comfort level and to request the same amount as last year would be unjustified and inconsiderate to the students of Parkside." SUFAC voted to allocate the full amount of $49,500 to PSGA. The reductions in the bud- gets of WIPZ, and The Ranger were decisions made by the members of SUFAC. WIPZ's proposed budget was $52,000 and they received $33,000. The Ranger proposed $62,139 and received $20,000. These are the totals after the com- pleted appeal process. of SUFAC vote and majority wins. If the club thinks that the budget it receives is unworkable SUFAC will lis- ten to an appeal. Generally a club's budget will increase from year to year as the club grows. There are instances where a club's bud- get will decrease, though it is Infrequent. In the past eight years eighty-nine budgets have been approved, and only nineteen of the budgets were decreased from the previous year. For the 2002-2003school year the only budgets that were decreased are PSGA, WIPZ, and The Ranger. After receiving a budget increase of $46,300 for the 2001-2002 year, Corey Mand- ley proposed that PSGA receive an additional increase of $9,100 for the 2002-2003 year. Joe Rucker, PSGA Presi- dent deleted $43,900from the $93,400 requested in Mand- Amber Smith 'McLaughlin, the committee ----~---------' consists of seven members. Azeza Hammad is the Chair while Steve McLaughlin Dean of Students and Dexter Yarbrough Director of Univer- sity Police and Safety are the advisors, Tarajee Arnin, Joe Rucker, Danni Moore and Adam Deford are all current members. Corey Mandley was a member of SUFAC last semester, but is no longer a student at UW-Parkside. This semester the committee is running with only five mem- bers, as two lost members have not been replaced. The members of SUFAC meet with each club to hear the club's proposed budget. Generally the clubs are enter- ing a maximum budget. SUFACdecides the amount of money the club needs to run smoothly and have a success- ful year. After proposing a budget number the members Co-EdRor~n-Chief U w-parkside's Segregat- ed University Fees Allocations Commit- tee(SUFAC) has finished the budgets for the student clubs around the university. Every student enrolled at UW-Park- side pays a segregated fee as a part of tuition. It is SUFAC's job to distribute the money collected from the students to the clubs and committees around UW-Parkside. The fee that each student pays goes towards such things as the printing of The Ranger news- paper, or the hiring of guest speakers for fund-raisers. The University of Wisconsin Park- side's radio station is also run on the money generated from the segregated fees.

The students, Joseph Donnerbauer and David Place, both Parkside j0l;igers, waded through the chilly water to pull the women out of the car. "I didn't have a choice" said Place. After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper.

"All you get is a severe hangover and some interesting photos" (look inside for photos from the show).

As Place took the garments back to the women to help keep them warm, Fickler and his familyraced their vehicle over to a nearby gas station to dial 911. After Somers rescue squad members arrived on the scene to escort the two ladies to Aurora Healthcare center, the Pickler family offeredthe two heroes a seatin their car to try to warm them up. The two women are home safe today and say they hold the highest respect for the two student heroes that carne to their aid.

Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me. I really can't smile this much anymore. Can I take a break now? Just a little break? Great. WHAT'S ON YOUR RESUME?

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography. When Napoleon sends the renowned Corrder, a supreme corrections officer, played by Caine, to intercept the coalillOn of the Marquis and Madeline, Cloutier is distraught over "!" friends' betrayal.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?"

Shopping in a department store is possibly the most grueling attack on my sense of well being. I am always ashamed to find that Iwear the largest size in the junior's department, and, that a size 13714 borders on being fullfigured. Calvin Klein does not make sizes beyond mine, a message that is not missed or misunderstood. Clearly, I am March 8, 2001 tasting morsel Ieat, and have adapted to fear the opinion of others. This is not a selfinduced fear. Ido not imagine these things; they are very real pervasive, and harmful. 1 feel as if Ihave no choice but to be obsessed with my body weight. If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

The Plan 2008 committee, chaired by Larry Duetsc.h, has worked overtime to produce an excellent plan that effectively addresses all seven of the UW System's diversity goals for the next decade. I would also like to thank everyone who attended meetings and contributed ideas and suggestions. This was truly a campuswide effort. As a relatively new Chancellor, I am happy that the campus has recommended to the Regents an aggressive plan to pursue enhanced diversity in the campus community. It gives me a map to follow for the future, and whatever has happened in the past is history. It allow me to expect energetic directions toward diversity that the campus has identified for itself. My administration fully encourages this direction. Our next challenge is to carry out this plan. I am concerned that every member of this educational community recognize that the specific goals will not be attained unless we all enter into the effort in a spirit of constructive dialogue. One expects to find differing ideas in an educational setting. However, we must avoid actions, statements, and other behaviors that constitute harassment of individuals or groups, while at the same time maintaining an environment that supports the free exchange of ideas. Racial and ethnic diversity is a crucial element of any college campus today. Without a diverse faculty, staff, and student body, as well as a curriculum that reflects a rich diversity of peoples and cultures, none of our students will obtain an adequate education for the 21st Century. We will not be able to build on the progress we have made in our learning community unless we maintain a high level of collegiality and a campus climate that is free of harassment. Language or behavior that corrodes building a positive climate will not be tolerated on See Letter, Page 12 IC "a' NEWS ...... · ............. 2-6 COMMENTARY .............

Students say UWParkside needs more weekend activities. Well, at least a partial solution may come this Fall. UW-Parkside is working to start a "Disc Golf" program. Administrators hope the course will help keep students here on the weekends. The course would be located in the between the Communication Arts and the Sports and Activities Center. UW-Parkside received a matching basket grant from the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). The PDGA pays for nine of the basket holes, but UW-Parkside still needs to raise money for the other nine baskets. Each "hole" will have signs indicating the hole number, the distance in feet, a description of the hole, and a student organization sponsorship. Biology's Ed Wallen researched the PDGA grant. He then showed the idea to Residence Life Director DeAnn Stone, . and she signed for the grant. The course is scheduled for a possible opening date in Fall of Disc golf may become the latest craze at UW-Parkside this fall. 1999. What is disc golf? Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players use a Frisbee. The sport started in the 1970s, and shares golf's objective of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes, or in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws. A.disc is thrown from a tee area to a target, which is the "hole." The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole, an elevated metal basket.

He goes on to explain, "Users connected to it over the internet create and change the environment as they interact within it in real time." The basic MOO language and database were developed by Xerox about ten years ago. MOOs are used for a great variety of purposes, ranging from on-line instruction to pure socializing. The UW-Parkside MOO has had over a thousand regular users, about a third of them being UW -Parkside students. It also includes people from over a dozen countries. He has taught two classes entirely on-line using the Parkside MOO. "This semester all of my classes are using it, with varying degrees of success, to post to a class bulletin board and to access sample test results." MOO is now in its third year of operation, and can be reached at http://moo.uwp.edu:8000. For more information, contact Professor Robert Canary in the English Department at (414) 595-2525.

Other incid ents that have happened in th past are indoor wa r ball n figh the ft of lobby furniture, a stolen vacuum, and a lot of brok furniture: What some residents don't r alize is that they are going to, as Ston "d, pay for the damages. All th e residents in the hall can be fined, which w uld be taken out f the $50 security deposit. Another way residents will pay for it is that room and board fees will keep increasing as the problems persist. "MOO" Getting Bigger Al OW-Parkside Darrell Fralin "A 'MOO' is a virtual world located in cyberspace," said UW-Par ide Pr ~ Robert Canary, part of the English Department faculty and one of the t w pro to utilize MOO online at UW-Parkside. He goes on to explain, '1J rs connected to it over the Internet create and change the environment as th y interact within it in real time." The basic MOO language and database were developed by Xerox about ten years ago. MOOs are used for a great variety of pwposes, ranging from on-line instruction to p ure socializing. The OW-Parkside MOO has had over a thousand regular rs, about a third of them being UW-Parkside students. It also incl udes people from over a dozen countries. H e h as taught two classes entirely on-line using the Parkside MOO. ''This semester all o f m y classes are using it, with varying degrees of success, to post to a class bulletin board and to access sample test results." M OO is n ow in its third year of operation, and can be reached at http://moo.uwp.edu:8000. For more information, contact Professor Robert Canary in the English Department at (414) 59~2525.

Titled "The Progressive Era," it covers the state's growth from 1893 to 1915, and is one of six volumes chronicling the History of Wisconsin. It has been added to the State Historical Collection. Buenker spent 11 years researching and studying the state's history for the book. The progressive era of Wisconsin interests Buenker because our's is one of the most progressive states in U.S. history. Buenker thinks Wisco;'sin is the number one state to research due to the numerous amount of changes that occurred during this era. Political reform, educational, and income tax changes are just a few of the many lasting changes covered in this volume. "It was a period in which the state had the greatest notoriety, the greatest respect throughout the nation," said Buenker. A full chapter in "The Progressive Era" is dedicated to The "Wisconsin Idea." There is no clear definition given for this area in history according to Buenker, therefore he felt that.he should elaborate on this division of history. The combination of research and study in this field that Buenker has done gives his students an abundant source of information. The information he gathers outside of his classroom material also is a rich resource for his students to tap. Buenker conducted his study at the UWParkside's Research Center and at the State Historical Society Library. Teaching is an opportunity for him to let his knowledge and his classroom text reinforce one another. "The Progressive Era" can be found at most local book stores including Schwartz's, Barnes and Noble, and The University of Wisconsin Press store. It also is available at the UWParkside's library. ~,.l!.~,.".,fi.t""..'e" "e" "." "." "." "e" "e"-"."-"."..-"e" "." ".1., "1,, "'."..."- ." "." "." "e" "."..."-."

They, along with the Communication Senior Seminar class, are participating in a program called "College Bound". The program is designed to stress the importance of education, but also to give children the opportunity to learn about college at a young age. Many students don't receive general knowledge about college until they enter high school, so learning at a young age can be beneficial The goal of the program is to inform young children about the benefits of education, and how doing well in school now will benefit them in the future by increasing their chances of gelling into college. The Senior Seminar class has visited five classrooms at Mitchell elementary school in Racine over the past five weeks. Different topics were discussed with the children each time, and now it's their turn to visit our school. This is the last visit, and it gives the children a chance to experience first-hand what they have been learning about.

Many student don't receive general knowledge about college until they enter high school, so learning at a young age can be benefirial The goal of the program is to inform young children about th benefits of education, and how doing well in school now will hen - fit them in the future by increasing their chances of getting into college. The Senior Seminar cla has visited five clas rooms at Mitchell elementary chool in Racine over the past five weeks. Different topic were discussed with the children each time, and now it's their tum to visit our school. Th.is is the last visit, and it gives the children a chance to experience first-hand what they have b n leaming about. So, if you happen to encounter the e kids on campus on April 30, give them a smile and make them f 1 welcome! ...

In college campus dining halls, students tend to overeat at the buffets. The featured foods there are not necessarily nutritious and low in fat. "Grilled foods, pizza, and sub sandwiches are the favorites at UW-Parkside," said Kevin Slowik, head of UW-Parkside's food service. "The nutritional breakdown of our recipes are available although I'd say the athletes are the only ones who request them." Oftentimes, busy students choose convenient foods and fast-food restaurants as quick and inexpensive meals. "I usually have donuts and coffee in the morning," Mile Stankovic said. In order to assure a healthy diet, there are seven dietary guidelines you should follow. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services issued the following dietary guidelines. First: eat a variety of foods. Choose serving from each group on the Food Guide Pyramid. Variety provides the necessary nutrients and other substances needed for good health. "I eat healthy which helps me concentrate and gives me the extra energy I need to do my schoolwork," Stankovic said. "Usually Ieat healthy, especially at breakfast," jessica Charon said, "but my downfall is at finals when 1 tend to drink more coffee to stay alert." Nicole Morano also confessed to drinking coffee and eating candy around finals but said, "Usually, I do not eat healthy." Second: balance the food you eat with physical activity; maintain or improve your weight. Regular physical activity keeps you from becoming overweight and also increases one's energy level. Avoid crash diets. Instead. eat less fat, control portion sizes, and increase physical activity. Third: choose a diet with plenty of vegetables, grain products, and fruits. These foods provide minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and other substances important for good health. Slowik said two soups and vegetables are offered daily in the UW-Parkside cafeteria besides vegetarian dishes, pastas and stir fries. Fourth: choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Some dietary fat is needed in our diet; good choices are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in nuts, fish and vegetable oils. Avoid the intake of trans-fat found in deep-fried fast foods and other products made with hydrogenated vegetable oils. High cholesterol intake can be a problem for some people so cut back on animal foods that contain cholesterol. Fifth: choose a diet moderate in sugars. Diets high in simple sugars promote tooth decay and supply calories but few nutrients. Sugar can be an additional energy source for those who are active, but to maintain a healthy body weight sugars should be consumed in moderation. "I usually eat candies like Skittles and Nerds for quick energy," said Chad Colombari. Sixth: choose a diet moderate in salt and sodium. Although sodium is an essential nutrient, it is only needed in small amounts. A high amount of sodium has been linked to high blood pressure and an increase in calcium loss that contributes to osteoporosis. Seventh: if you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. Alcohol provides only calories with few, if any, nutrients. Alcohol should only be consumed in moderation, with meals, and when consumption puts no one at risk. To summarize the guidelines, college students should choose low-fat, low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, grains, fruits, lean protein sources, and non-fat dairy products rather than sugar and sweets, fatty foods, and alcoholic beverages. Will good nutrition make you smarter? By following the guidelines, you are going to have more energy. When you have more energy, you will study more productively, and for a longer time. These positives are in all students' favor. Memories of Spring Breaks Past Tiffany Stopa Deciding where to go for spring break this year was tough. There were so many great places to go. Some destinations, of course, are better than others. In years past, I've gone to Vail, CO., but this year I decided to go to Key West, FL. Both are great vacation destinations. Two years ago, I went skiing in Vail, Colorado, one of the best places to ski out west. Vail is nestled in a valley about 200 miles from Denver. I decided the best and cheapest way to get to Vail was to fly into Denver and take a bus to V.ail. The views that I experienced during the drive were breathtaking. When I went to Vail I went with a couple friends who were very good skiers. We rented a condo and split the cost. It is cheaper to rent a condo because then it's not necessary to go out to dinner every night and costs can be split. My travel agent found my friends and I a condo that best fit our budget. Some nice hotels I saw were the Vail Racket Ball Club, The Christiana, and The Vail Lodge. Ski lift tickets were the most expensive part of the trip. We spent about $40 a day on lift tickets. The City of Vail offers a free bus service to all destinations in the city which we took advantage. From fast food to five-star restaurants, there were a variety of places to eat. Shopping in Vail was exquisite and expensive but I found some unique gifts for my family. Key West was a great place to go and relax and just take things "day-byday. Its a half-hour plane ride from Miami, but flight into Key West are scarce because the airport is so small. My family and I decided to fly instead of drive because there's not much to see on the way. "The Florida Keys comprise one of the most diverse eco-systems in the world and provide us with such natural beauty that it's hard to imagine the Keys being a part of the real world," comments john Criswell author of the Key West Vacation Guide. Surprisingly, white sand beaches are hard to come by in Key West so we stayed at a hotel with a pool. The island was formed by coral reef, so there were only a couple of sand beaches available for swimming. We also went snorkeling and scuba diving through all of the magnificent reefs. Hotel prices can range from $60 to $300 dollars a night depending on if it's a condo or hotel room. We stayed at the Key West Hilton, a very nice hotel. The room rates there ran between $175 to $350. The Hilton was in dose walking distance or a short scooter ride to all the points of interest. Duval Street through downtown Key West is about seven blocks of popular bars, restaurant, and shops of all sorts. There were many beach shops, clothing stores, and souvenir stores. Some popular bars and great restaurants that we went to were Fat Tuesdays, Margaritavile, and Sloppy [oes. There were also many different fast food restaurants to choose from. Christine james, a college student, said, "I have never had such a fun spring break before and I would defiantly come back, the nightlife was a blast." Historical Key West was also very interesting. There was a trolley to the historical points of interest such as Ernest Hemingway's house. The beautiful architecture and flowers were very unique and greatly appreciated. These two destinations that I have visited were fun and enjoyable. I would definitely consider traveling back to both of them. I do have to say that I did like the sunny and warm atmosphere of Key West better than Vail. Now maybe you have some ideas for next spring break and just remember its never too early to start planning for next year. AnoOWlciag for Fall 1999: Schedule classes when you want!

The reason for this phenomenon is not that all of the students are going on a weekend vacation or that all of their cars are in the shop. The reason why the parking lots are empty is because there is nothing to do here on the weekends. UW-Parkside weekends bring boredom to students. As Shauna Ronchetto stated, "Students need a place to go on the weekends and Parkside's campus just doesn't cut it." There are basically only four facilities open to students on the weekends: The library is opened on Sat. from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sun. from noon to 6 p.m. The cafeteria which closes down on Fri. afternoon at 1 p.m., is opened from 11 rn, to 1 p.m. on Sat. and Sun., and The Grill is opened from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Fri. and Sun., while only staying open from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sat. With hours and limitations like this students are basically forced to eat according to a very confined menu. The Rec Center, located on the 02 level of the Union, is also open on the weekends from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Sat. and 3 to 11 p.m. on Sun. Even though they hold restricted hours there is plenty to there if bowling, playing pool, and video games is what someone is looking to do on the weekends. Not only are all other facilities, such as Hard Hat Cafe, Sub Connection, and the Career and Advising Centers closed, which are usually open to students during the week but clubs usually don't even meet on the weekends. Pool parties and Rec Center club nights are reserved for weekdays and the only movies that are offered are in the Foreign Film Series. Aerobic swim and regular class-- es are only opened to students during the week also. Even if these activities were opened on the weekends some students don't feel like that is enough. Ryan Ellifson stated, '1wish that there were more movies on Sat. night and it wouldn't hurt if there was a bar on campus." DeAnn Stone, director of Residence Life, agrees that the lack of things to do on the weekends is a concern and is currently being looked at and modified. So far there has been a trip to the Chicago Art Institute, and a trip to the lmax Theater. There are also Midnight Madness nights, which involves bowling being offered at the Rec Center on certain Sat. nights during the year. Not to mention Greek organizations offering dances periodically and movies are still shown at the theater on Fri. nights. So, in retrospect, there are things to do here on the weekends. But until there more of a variety, students are going to have to continue cramming any extracurricular activities into their already busy weekday schedules. The Dogma Controversy Chris Summy Every once in a while we hear about a film that very serious controversies attached to it, especially when the subject is about religion. In 1978, South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond tried to get the Monty Python satire, The Life of Brian, banned in the U.S. because of its content (He later changed his mind.). In 1988, there was a furor over Martin Scorsese's Last Temptation of Christ, a drama about how a human Jesus Christ (Willem Dafoe) had to make a decision over whether or not to die for our sins (The flames were fueled over a scene in which Jesus dreams about have sex and the casting of David Bowie in an important religious role (his androgynous past is considered blasphemy to quite a few people}). And in 1995, there was Priest, a drama about a gay Catholic priest. Take a wild guess about where the problem lies. This year, hopefully corning to a theater near you, the controversial film is Dogma, written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy). It is a religious sa tire abou t a local hero (Linda Fiorentino) who is joined by a band of misfits to save humanity from renegade angels Bartelby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon). Each traveler has their own set of beliefs but they to confront their faith and find their own relationships with God. Since filiming started early last year, the Catholic League protested the movie, saying that it makes light of Catholicism in a flippant and crude fashion. Many religious organizations plan on protesting it if it gets released (the company that releases it will not be spared either). Which is why Disney-owned Miramax Films, the company that planned on showing it, may be looking foe a new distributor. It seems that Disney is nervous about it and are pressuring Bob and Harvey Weinstein (the men who run Miramax, named after their parents Miriam and Max) to sell it. After the run-in with the Southern Baptists over Gay Day at Disney World, Disney chairman Michael Eisner would like. to keep his company's reputation as a family-friendly place. It is not the first time Miramax has given Disney a head-ache. It was the studio that released the controversial Priest, as well as Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting. But at the same time, Miramax has also released some grea t flicks such as The Crying Game, The Grifters, The Piano, The English Patient, Good Will Hunting, and Shakespeare in Love. It is considered the best place to go if you want to make a great movie. The Weinsteins believe in their work and Dogma is no exception. Just recently, they bought the flick from Disney for $10 million and plan on releasing it with a non- Disney studio. Considering this is not the first time they did that (they did it with Kids), they have a lot of guts. I can understand some of the complaints about Dogma, however. It does not sound like an easy movie at all. Here are some of the following highlights: 1. Linda Fiorentino's character works at an abortion clinic. 2. Salma Hayek plays a sexy Muse. 3. Chris Rock is a trash talking 13th Apostle. 4. Alanis Morisette plays a Skeeball obsessed God. 5. There is a demon that is literally made out of crap. 6. The Church in the movie has a "Catholicism Wow!" campaign with a smiling Buddy Christ as spokesman (instead of being nailed at the cross, he offers a thumbs-up salute). 7. Jay and Silent Bob, regulars from Kevin Smith movies, play the two prophets. It seems obvious tha t this film is not for everybody. But at the same time, why don't we see it first before we try to get it banned? Personally, I can't stand it when a few people feel the need to shove their views down everybody else's throats. Supposedly, Kevin Smith is a faithful Catholic who wanted to make this movie to show his belief in humanity and God. If it's true, then what should we be afraid of? It should be important to keep an open mind about this because it might tum out to be entertaining. if you don't want to watch it because you find it offensive, fine, that's no problem. But don't decide for everybody else, OK? --- - • 8 1111121.11,1122.11 ----· -- There is Nothing to do at Parkside on the eeke d Communicati ns A come UWParkside, tart g t all th hop.

Quick question: What do The Buluiorth, and have in common? Answer: They have relatively young women paired up with men who need Viagra. Robert Redford (61) and Kristen Scott Thomas (37), Warren Beatty (61) and Halle Berry (30), Michael Douglas (54) and Gwyneth Paltrow (26), Harrison Ford (56) and Anne Heche (28). Just like real life, right? This gets rather infuriating! The idea of the age discrepancies are showcased to highlight the maturity in an older person in the younger generation, studios say. Bull, I say. If that was true, then how often have you seen older women paired with really young men? There aren't too many examples of that. Here's a example. When casting was made on Batman Forever, Rene Russo was picked to play the shrink who analyzes Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). But when Keaton dropped out and was replaced by Val Kilmer, Russo was dropped in favor of Nicole Kidman. It seems that Russo was too old for Kilmer (Yeah, a whole four years!). was done a year after she played Clint Eastwood's love interest in (there's a twenty-five year difference between Eastwood and Russo). And it doesn't seem to be gelling better. spring's stars Sean Connery as a robber and Catherine Zeta-Jones as his love interest. Considering that Connery is pushing 70 and Jones is around 30, what's wrong with this picture? And look at Julia Roberts. She seems to be making a career of in her movies. There were 17 years between her and Richard Gere in (and she's reteaming with him in this summer's 27 years with Nick Nolte in 14 with Dennis Quaid in 14 with John Malkovich in Mary and 17 years with Ed Harris in was a rarity because jier male co-stars were closer to her age. Ironically, Goldie Hawn's character uses Sean Connery as a reference in when she is upset about her failing acting career. She is upset that she has to playa hideous mother and says that Connery could play her daughter's boyfriend. She also gets plastic surgery in order to look young because she,complains there are only three types of roles for women: babe (sexy), district attorney (drab), and Driving Miss Daisy (old bag). Got it right on the money, didn't she? Hvpe: ENOUGH!! Chris Summy So here we are, a month before the release of Episode I: The hype has been building ever since George Lucas announced he was going to make prequels to the Star Wars trilogy two years ago. Frankly, I am getting so $O/o#*ingsick and tired of hearing about it. As we all know, the movie will be released on May 19 in the best movie theaters around the country so we can get the full effect. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing it because I love I went to see the Special Editions when they were released two years ago. Even though I have all three of the original movies on tape, I had never seen them on the big screen. So I went and had a great time. Let's face it, you haven't lived until to you see them in a theater! And yes, I am glad tha t there will be new movies in the future. But at the same time, we have these dorks on the Internet who want to spoil everything for us by showing sorts of key parts of the movie and telling us what the plot may be like. Why do some people feel the need to try to ruin the fun for all of us? I don't know about any of you, but I would like-to be surprised when I see it for the first time (with all due honesty, I do plan on seeing it several times!). I also have heard about people who are already camping out to get tickets. A month early? Get a freaking life! I'd like to see it on the first day but there's a limit to what I plan on doing about it. That obsessed I am not! And I'll be seriously pissed off some jerks keep buying tickets for lots of people for every single showing SQ that no else get gets to see it for a long if I realize that is a major phenomenon. It's a name that means a tremendous amount to billions of people around the world, me included. Hopefully, seeing Episode I will be a great experience for everyone involved. But let's remember an important tip: Hype can ruin a movie. Even a name such as isn't safe.

Considering the price of tickets and snacks nowadays, I do not expect to be disappointed. If the movie sucks, then it's my fault for having bad judgement. But sometimes the experience is bad because of the audience. One thing I hate are nuisances in the theater. Here are three problems I have had to deal with: 1. JERKS WHO CAN'T KEEP THEIR BIG MOlffHS SHlIT- I remember seeing Phenomenon three years ago at the Orpheum and discovered there were three kids in the front who kept talking throughout the whole movie. Many people in the audience kept telling them to be quiet but they wouldn't do it until they were GVE IFE LASMA. $$$ CASH PAYMENTS $$$ EARN UP TO AND OVER PER MONTH Plasma Donor Center Of Kenosha, Inc. 6212 22nd Ave. • Kenosha, WI (414) 654-1366 Hours: Mon. s Wed. 8:30-3:30 Tues. & Thurs. 9:30-4:30 Fri. 8:00-2:30' sat. 8:00-1 :30 People Helping People For Life and laser poinlers finally kicked out. And that didn't happen until the last third of the flick. And then there was the time I watched Scream at Cinema 5. AIl during that movie, there was a lot of talking. The worst part of it all was when Henry Winkler appeared in it. As a lot of people know, he played Fonzie on Happy Days. Everybody in the theater knew that. Unfortunately most of the audience couldn't keep it to themselves. This went on for about five minutes before I finally shouted out, "All right, we know he's Fonzie! Now shut up about it!" Even then, there were three girls behind me who kept talking. I was tempted to throw my soda at them but I thought better of it. 2. LITTLE KIDS WHO DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER-I will probably never again see a family flick until I have kids of my own. I made this decision after the experience of seeing the double feature of Mighty Joe Young and A Bug's Life. There was a little kid behind me who couldn't keep quiet until he was taken out of the theater. But when he came back a few minutes later, he kept on talking. This kepthappening all through the double feature. Never again! It's worse when little kids are brought into movies with a PG-13 or R rating. I remember putting my feet on the chair ahead of me while I watching Scream 2 (Okay, so this is bad etiquette. I didn't make noise about it!). The guy across, from me turned to me and said, "00 you mind?" So I put my feet down but I didn't understand what was the complaint. I didn't see anyone in front of me. I thought his coat might have been there so I looked over. I found a four-year-old boy there instead. Why in the hell was he there at an R-rated movie that violence in it? I remember thinking, "That's just great! That kid will probably have nightmares tonight. And if he keeps watching these type of movies and decides to kill people, his parents will probably blame the movies for the way he turned out. And political opportunists like William Bennett and the Christian Coalition will probably use this to call for more censorship!" 3. THE RED LASERS- Some dorks think it's cool to flash these things during the show, even though it pisses everybody off. This happened during The Water Boy and The Rage: Carrie 2. At The Rage, somebody behind me said, "Why don't you shove that thing up your ass?" I thought this was a good suggestion. The lasers are rapidly becoming banned because of the frequency of these occurances. This is one law I support whole-heartedly! People go to the movies because it is fun. It is not fun when some people spoil it. I'll say this right now, if any of these problems occur when Star Wars hits the theaters, there will be a lot of people planning on opening up a can of whoopass on the jerks responsible.

M0 V IE S· MUS Ie· M0 V I ES· MUS Ie· M ( MJIBes' Frienll's Welllling Chris Summy For the last PAB movie of the semester, we have My Best Friend's Wedding. It will be playing at the Union Cinema on April 28 and April 30 at 8 p.m. It will be $1 for UWParkside students and $2 for non-students. At the April 28 showing, the first 19 people will get a free movie poster. The following available posters are: Forces of Nature, two from Amistad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Scream 2, Boogie Nights, Red Corner, Blast From the Past, The Corruptor, The Hi-La Country, Fargo, The Rugrats, James Bond, He Got Game, Meet Joe Black, Practical Magic, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Out of Sight, and As Good As It Gets. In the comedy My Best Friend's .Wedding, julia Roberts plays a single 30-year-old with a best friend (Dermot Mulroney) who she has always had a crush on. They had agreed if they weren't married by the time they hit 30, they would marry each other. So one day, julia's character finds a message on her answering machine from her best friend. It seems he is getting married alright. To a major hotty (Cameron Diaz-her hair is clean this time!)! And this woman is rather nervous about her fiance's friend. She heard a lot of about her but wants her to play an important part in the wedding. While she is the daughter of the owner of the Chicago White Sox, she is rather flaky, there is a hilarious scene of her singing karaoke ... badly! While she can be like jello, she has heard a lot about this woman in her future husband's life and is afraid she will lose him to her. And there is cause for concern. julia's character wants her best friend in the worst possible way. She will do anything to wreck the wedding so she enlists a gay friend (Rupert Everett) to pose as her boyfriend in order to throw the couple off the track. But her phony boyfriend is a realist, convinced that his confused friend is going to make a fool out of herself. His mission, if he chooses to accept it, is to try to prevent humiliation and pain from happening. The CorrulJlor ChrisSurnmy Hong Kong action star Chow Yun- Fat made his American movie debut with The Replacement Killers opposite Mira Sorvino. It had its moments but it was slow and Chow had a problem with his English. In his new movie, The Corruptor, he solves both problems with better English and a more exciting flick. He plays Chen, a detective in the Chinatown part of New York. His job is compromised by his relationship with a gangster (he found he could accomplish more if he worked with him) who is at war with a rival mobster. The gangster is in charge of the Fukinese Dragons, a Chinese gang that extorts pay-offs from businesses. For the ones that don't pay, the people inside get killed. Chen tries his best to stop the damage and gets help from a rookie named Wallace (Mark Wahlberg). Wallace sticks out in Chinatown because he is white and is gung-ho to stop crime. He decided that by going through Chinatown, a gold shield will be inevitable. His life is also troubled by his father, a crooked cop who owes money to gamblers. He get in the same position as Chen's, having to compromi e himself to get things done. So they collide with one another. But the gangster is not a person to deal with. His specialiti are prostitution and gambling, claiming that as long as the demand is good, there will be services. But he also imports people trying to escape repression in China in crowded boats and then expects payments by prostitution. If they refuse, they end up dead. Eventually Ch n and Wallace decide to work out their differences in order to top the gangster. This movie is better than The Replacement Killers because it has more action. There is a great chase scene in which Chen and Wallace pur-me two of the gangster' men all through New York, made more brutal because the bad guy shoot at anything to try to get away (some innocent bystanders are killed as a result). All in all, this is not a movie 10 sleep through. Lite: Murphv and lawrence make great duo Chris Summy The release of this movie contained two question marks: Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. For Eddie, the question was whether or not he could avoid a losing streak similar to the one he suffered through for half a decade (Harlem Nights, Another 48 Hours, Boomerang, The Distinguished Gentleman, Beverly Hills Cop III). After all, the failure of Holy Man could have been the start of something bad. For Marlin, it was whether or not his movie would be in the headlines instead of his personallife. He has had a hit TV show and movie success (Bad Boys, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Nothing to Lose) but he also went through a painful divorce, his Martin co-star suing him for sexual harassment, and a bizarre incident in which he held up traffic with a gun while completely naked. Life answers these question with a positive response for the two stars. They play two New York men who are wrongly found guilty of murder in Mississippi and have to serve a life sentence for it. In 1932, Ray Gibson is a con man and Claude Banks is a straight banker who both owe money to a mobster (Rick james). To payoff' their debt, Ray and Claude, who had never met each other until they both found themselves in a predicament, have to travel to Mississippi to pick up some bootleg liquor. They accidently stumble upon a murder by a racist sheriff and are set up to take the fall. The film mostly lakes place in the prison. After initially taking a 101 of crap from their fellow inmates and the guard (Nick Cassavettes), Ray and Claude fit into the prison population. But they can never accept their sentence because they are innocent. Over the course of sixty years, they try over and over again to break out of jail, only to fail miserably in each attempt. While time passes, Ray and Claude eventually become friends who depend on one another to get through the tough times (and they age convincingly due to the make-up and their voice patterns). However, this movie, although hilarious, contains a major flaw. When viewing this, one might think that prison time would be a lot tougher for Ray and Claude than whal they go through. While I can't imagine it being fun to be confined to one place for the rest of your life, it didn't seem to be hard time at all. Considering that this starts off in the 1930's South, it does lead to a credibility problem. Although they are victims of racism, in reality, they could have had it a lot worse. (While we're at it, the movie poster is also rather uncomfortable to look at because it looks hornophobic.) But in the end, the movie is enjoyable because of two certain people: Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. They are a great team playing off each other's complaints about one another. Hopefully, they will work together again in the future. It would be a crying shame if they didn't. - MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MC Ml BBSI lri11nll's WBlllling ChrisSwnmy For the last PAB movie of the semester, we have My Best Friend's Wedding.

As for people my age or older, Ican only suggest that you put this paper down and go about your hunting and gathering, tor nothing in this story can possibly interest you. Remember the mastodon hunt? Those were the good days, eh? Now pay attention, children, for the fate of our country depends on you. Several weeks ago, upon hearing that Elizabeth Dole was thinking about nmning in the upcoming presidential election, Idecided to run against her. I was planning on becoming the first ~ I Italian-American American president, r but today I found that a clause in the American Constitution bars me from ever running for the presidency of the United States. It is a sad, sad fact, but I must accept its truth with dignity: I don't have what it takes to be an American president. No, there's nothing physically wrong with me, only that American presidents must be American-born citizens, and Ihappen to be a naturalized paesano. So, why should my problems be of any interest to you, my fellow n n ! Americans? Well, as you all know, Italian-Americans are very passive about sexual concerns, and since the last Washington scandal involved sex, I thought that, perhaps, I might have been able to straighten things out in the Oval Office. My hope was to bring back the good old days of politics-- the time when political statements made by presidential hopefuls meant something more than just sexually charged whatnots, the time when a saying such as "Make my day!" was not a presidential request; the time when statements such as "speak softly and carry a big stick" and "I cannot tell a lie" were not inspired by the id, the time when presidential runs were not three-legged races-but I can't because I'm a naturalized paesano. And that is why I want you to do it for me. What do I have against Elizabeth Dole? Nothing, absolutely nothing. fact, I think that a president of the female sort might just be what this country needs right now. No, I have nothing against Aunt Elizabeth; it's Uncle Bob I'm worried about. As you all know, shortly after a cancerous growth was removed from a certain area, Bob (Flagpole) Dole gleefully announced that he was experimenting with a "wonderful drug," a papa's little helper that had Every WEDNESDAY LADIES NIGHT Ladies drink FREEl! Wear a skirt & it's NO·COVERU 9-12 Midnght FRI. & SAT. TheB~esl Parly in TCMln wilh au,. New YOI'k DJ been developed specifically for Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones but that, regrettably, had to be used on others because doctors discovered that the drug wouldn't work unless the user had at least one pint of blood. Bob Dole's announcement prompted his wife to consider a run for the presidency, and that smells fishy to me. Coincidence, you say? I don't think so. It's a right wing conspiracy to do away with Keith Richards. I should've known that something was up when Bob Dole changed his slogan from "I just can't win" to "I can't get no satisfaction," but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Only recently I've discovered that Dole is being paid millions to promote Viagra, a product which, if used mproperly, is likely to create a stronger strain of the Slick Willy virus. Now, we all know what happened the last time this virus spread through the White House, right? And how many of you know how much we spent on trying to develop a vaccine for it? My guess is that we spent about a billion of taxpayers' dollars, but that's beside the point. The point is that we could've used that !poney to develop a pill for Keith Richards.

I will appoint a University Diversity Committee after our Plan 2008 is adopted by the Board of Regents. I will charge the group with advising me on the state of the campus climate, monitoring progress regarding our implementation of Plan and addressing other diversity issues such as age, gender, and lifestyle difference. This group will also help my administration maintain policies and procedures that deal with discrimina tion and sexual harassment. If you are not familiar with these policies, please consult your Dean's or Director's office. It is the responsibility of all employees and students to be familiar with them and to follow their directives when a breech in policy has been perceived. Plan 2001) commits our campus to developing strategies "to improve the climate for diversity" (Goal 6, A). I am committed to that goal as our best way to lay the groundwork for enhancing campus diversity and hope you will join me in that enrichment effort.

The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the " putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. There are a few differences. Disc golf rarely requires greens fee, you probably won't need to rent a cart, and you never get stuck with a bad tee time. Who plays disc golf? Disc golf can be played from school age to old age, making it a great lifetime fitness sport. Specially-abled and disabled participate, giving them the opportunity to take part in a mainstream activity. Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded.

Disc golf provides upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic exercise, and promotes a combination of physical and mental abilities while presenting very little risk of physical injury. A round of di c golf takes one to two hours, and may be played alone, eliminating the difficulty of scheduling tee times. Disc golf offers year round fitness. It is inexpensive to play. A good disc costs less than $10, and it only takes one for basic play. And, of course, there's the sheer fun of the game, no matter what your age or skiJllevel!
