Mana Pasifika helps kick of Asian Heritage Month with rhythm Jimmy Gibbs gi bbsO 14 @ u wp .edu The Main Place was the place to be Wed. April 3 at noon. The Mana Pasifika dance group graced Parkside with their presence and their skill to help celebrate Asian Heritage Month. Mana Pasifika specializes in dances from the South Pacific, like Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, and so on. The group had five dancers that came to show the students and staff of Parkside several different traditional South Pacific dances, and interestingly enough, while all the girls in the dance group hailed from the South Pacific at one point in their lives, they are now stationed out of Oshkosh, WI. Now, they travel around for special events and any other occasion one could think of that would require some South Pacific dancing.

It's probably, a goat. You heard right. A goat, the little barnyard animal with horns and hooves. Unless you live under a rock like everybody's favorite starfish, you've probably seen a video of a goat yelling. One of the more famous videos is the most recent Doritos Super Bowl commercial staring a lovable, yet ticked off goat who's out of Doritos. The commercial ends with a goat kicking the door shut, and trapping the man who hid all of his chips from him in a room. I don't know about any of you, but I feel like an angry goat is not something to mess with. Well, these goats have left the farm and are currently featuring in some of the greatest pop songs out right now. You might not understand what Forget about the bird, I think goat is definitely the new word, at least I'm getting at, so let me break it down for you.

That's what a writer, played by Rafe Spall, is told about Pi's adventurous and unbelievable story about a zoo packed into a boat that capsizes at sea. The story starts with a boy named Pi who grows up in his father's zoo in India. As the zoo continues to lose money, Pi's family decides to pick up and move everything. As the ship capsizes in one of the most visually intense scenes going back to Titanic, Pi hitches a ride on a lifeboat with a zebra, and more hidden surprises. Pi finds himself alone, his family dead, on the open sea full of sharks and other dangers. His only hope is to survive on the lifeboat and find refuge. One of the strongest elements to Life of Pi aside from the acting, which will be touched upon later, is the amazing special effects. Ang Lee won the award for Best Director at the Academy Awards for his near perfect treatment of the effects displayed in the film. The biggest technological achievement is how well they were able to integrate the use of a real tiger and an animated tiger. The movements of the creature and how the fur flowed in the wind made the tiger look as if Pi was fighting the actual ferocious beast. Frankly, all of the animals looked great. The waPhoto credit: kootation.com ter scenes were filmed in a gigantic swimming pool surrounded by green screens. It became fun trying to pick out what was real and what was animated. That would make a great and difficult movie trivia game. Like I said earlier, the acting in the film was another thing that really stood out to me. Like Danny Boyle and Slumdog Millionaire, Ang Lee searched for an actor that hadn't been in a feature film and found Suraj Sharma to play Pi. I can't begin to imagine how difficult it would be to act with animals that aren't actually there. Suraj's reactions and emotions are conveyed nicely and it makes you as the viewer really feel for his character and what he is forced to go through. There are moments of sacrifice, tragedy, melancholy, and immense joy. The film ends in a question, possibly the best way to end a film like this. It forces you to think and leaves you wondering. Overall, Life of Pi is a film that does what it needs to do to be successful, given its story, really well. The visuals and the acting, given that there is only one human for most of the film, is incredible. The only one thing that I had wrong with the movie is that some of the transitions from scene to scene are jarring. Actors and backgrounds transition at different times and I'm not sure that that sort of transition really works for this film. Even though the film touches on the topic of religion, it doesn't shove it down your throat. Not being religious myself, I didn't feel like the film was trying to preach to me in any way. It is more about Pi's unbelievable path to survival. «• Tomb Raider, must buy video game Tyler Comstock comst004@uwp.edu Rock climbing, adventuring, ancient relics, and spelunking are all things that sound like tons of fun, in the right circumstance. Now, add that to insane islanders, guns and violence, and a fight to survive, and you have yourself a video game. Lara Croft is back and better than ever as the lead character to Tomb Raider. Much like Life of Pi, Lara is headed to find an ancient treasure on a large ship that becomes ship wrecked after a sudden storm fills the sky with black clouds and rains terror down on the crew. Now it's up to her and other survivors to discover the supernatural forces that are keeping them from leaving the island. Graphics in games continue to get better as we venture further into the life of the current console generation. Tomb Raider is no exception. The character design and environmental work shine with realistic movements and lush vegetation. The creation of the island was intricate with the slightly contained, open world feel filled with ledges to climb and tombs to explore. The gameplay feels a lot like Uncharted if you mix in a little Far Cry 3. It has similar but slightly more realistic climbing elements. Lara finds and improves weapons along the way. The gameplay achievement of Tomb Raider is its upgrade and customization system. It allows you to customize Lara to the way to like to play, whether it's going in quiet and killing with silent takedowns, or its taking the AK 47 and going in guns blazing. The weapon you will gravitate toward is the bow and wow is it fun. The bow mechanics are the best I have played in a video game and later on when you can strap napalm to an arrow, it will not disappoint. Along with the bow, the takedowns in close range combat are also satisfying. When Lara rushes in with a rock, and later an arrow, to finish off a pursuer, you can just about feel the punch. Lets remember now that these men that Lara are attacking are trying to kidnap and kill her and her mates. It's not like Grand Theft Auto. These are not innocent people. The story in the Tomb Raider game is just about the same as most of the Uncharted series. There is a secret force keeping Lara from leaving the island, and she must use her wits and the help of others to figure out the problem. There are bad guys, good guys, and good guys that go bad. It's not very inventive or original but it doesn't lack adventure and action. It's the constant movement and terror that keeps you enthralled. The voice acting of Lara's character is great and at some points heart breaking. There are only a couple of issues to the game that are quite glaring. As you get later into the story, the game starts to reuse environments that you have already experienced. Yes, it is good to have a sense of where you are as the game difficulty gets harder, but it starts to lack the discovery factor that goes into an adventure/spelunking Tomb Raider game. Overall, as a series that has been suffering of needing a reboot, Lara Croft and Tomb Raider got a serious uplift. Developer, Crystal Dynamics, took a dead series and revamped it to contend with award winning games like Uncharted and the other best ofs. It's a game that someone could watch as you play and wouldn't get bored. It's cinematic and exciting and that's what makes Tomb Raider a huge surprise and easily a must buy.

The show, curated by student James Passannante as well as English Professor Jay McRoy, featured a plethora of comics made by local, regional, and national comic artists. Upon entering the gallery, one couldn't help but notice a wall completely enveloped in student works. Juxtaposing the strips next to one another allowed the viewer to truly appreciate the stylistic liberties each artist took. Some were hyper detailed and others were simplistic. Some were inspired by Japanese anime while some were truly traditional and western. Some were action packed while others opted for humor instead. Parkside students were so involved in the show that their pieces would not all fit on one wall. Because of this, two tables were also blanketed in colorful cartoons and storyboards. Aside from student work, the show featured art from two published cartoonists. John Porcellino, a Chicago native, graced the gallery with his entire book "Thoreau at Walden," a series of strips that retell the stories of Henry David Thoreau in a simple and modern manner. Tyler Page is a self-published artist based in Minneapolis. Parksides gallery featured pages from his new comic "Raised on Ritalin" as well as a section of his webcomic "Nothing better." Page is an Eisner-nominated artist, an educator, a freelance artist, and has also received a Xenc Foundation grant, allowing him to publish volume one of Nothing Better.

Photo credit: Maria DiMauro The Ranger News April 10,2013 The Brain Initiative: the new frontier Jimmy Gibbs gibbs014@uwp.edu There once was a time when people set out to the sea in order to discover new lands, to map areas of the world that they were unfamiliar with in an attempt to establish new trade routes and find new treasures. Many years later, humans decided it was time to move on from Earth and start exploring space. Since the first man on the moon, space exploration has advanced impressively, and we are getting closer and closer to answering questions that we have about our universe, like where we came from or originated from. Now, President Obama is putting into motion the next major exploration in attempt to find a new form of treasure and answers. On Tuesday April 2nd, President Obama announced the The Brain Initiative, a massive undertaking that will start a mapping of the human brain. We will be exploring a new frontier that has not been explored to this extent before in the history of mankind. In order to get it on its feet, the initiative will begin with $100 million of federal funding. The funding is minimal compared to what it will ultimately need. However, the hope is that thousands of jobs will be created in the field and will lead to the extra funding that the program will need to keep it operational, and to accomplish everything the initiative needs to fully map the human brain. The possibilities that could come from the mapping of the human brain are grandiose, but with enough funding and the continued work of scientists and engineers alike, they could be completely possible. Things that are today considered science fiction could become science fact in the coming years. The goal of mapping the human brain is to find the source and cause of certain illnesses that stem from the brain and attempt to reverse them or find a cure. For example, by mapping the brain we could potentially find the cause of diseases such as Parkinsons, Alzheimer's, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Epilepsy and many more. Soon, we could live in a world where no family has to deal with the terrible process of watching a loved one fall into the depths of dementia or lose control of their motor functions. We would also be able to treat veterans or victims of intense trauma and put an end to their PTSD. Some of the other possibilities that could become realities from this brain mapping initiative are truly fascinating. With a complete mapping of the brain and a better understanding of it, it could be possible, according to President Obama, to allow people with artificial limbs to be able to control them just as they would an actual limb. For instance, someone with an artificial arm would be able to use that arm as if it were their actual arm. The brain mapping would allow scientists to learn how to wire the brain to the artificial limb so that the brain would be able to send the messages it is already sending to the artificial limb, allowing someone with an artificial arm to go about life as if they had never lost that arm. An even further possibility of mapping out the human brain is being able to reverse engineer the brain. In other words, scientists could potentially be able to manufacture a replica of the human brain, which would open the doors to a whole new form of artificial intelligence. This means the ability of the human race to create a machine, or a robot, that would have a replica of the human brain inside of it. The possibilities are limitless at this point. Still, the initiative will need to focus on finding ways to keep funds coming in after the initial $100 million because it will be a several year long process to fully map the brain. The potential for job growth, and the growth of knowledge about what makes us tick, think and function is there. Regardless of your feelings toward the current President, he has embarked on our next great exploration as a human race, and it will make a very interesting next several years. Sushi Thai, great for the stomach and wallet David Haight haigh003 @ uwp .edu Sushi Thai at 1742 N Milwaukee Ave in Libertyville is a nice place in a strip mall. It's across the street from a Walgreens, and not far from Wildberry. But what makes Sushi Thai so worth writing about is the incredible sushi they serve and the great people serving it to you. When you walk in, depending on time of day and what day, it might be incredibly packed, as in you better be prepared to stand around for a bit. It is a very popular spot in Libertyville, and when on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays you get halfpriced sushi for a certain time, you can come to expect a crowd. On those days a huge roll that might cost $15.00 will drop drastically, making it affordable to snag another roll to fill your belly beyond reason. The half-price deal can cause some serious over-eating in the Japanese/ Thai fusion joint. The food is outstanding, and the appetizers are no joke. The Chicken Satay is cooked perfectly, and the sauce that goes with it is delicious. The Crab Rangoon was a little cool in the middle, but still very good and made in a way I had never seen before. Usually, they come in a wanton-like wrapper that's deep-fried and have little going on in terms of style. Sushi Thai's Rangoon is beautiful, a ball with four points and a nice creamy center that's sweet and tangy, a nice compliment to the Satay. Enjoy that with a nice, large Sake and you have yourselves the beginning of a great night out. The entree of four rolls is excellent. On a halfpriced day, it's a great way to experience some Photos courtesy of Sushi Thai. awesome rolls for a reasonable, if not cheap price. The Serpentine Roll was outstanding. It was rolled with salmon, tomago (cooked egg) and avocado, and was topped with eel and a sweet unagi sauce. For those afraid of eel, worry not; it's great, and one of my favorites for a roll. It was laid out nicely, curving across the plate like a snake, but very classy and far from over-the-top when it came to plating. The next roll enjoyed was the Orange Dragon Roll: crab meat, cucumber and avocado, with salmon on top with some avocado, and a spicy sauce that brought it all together. It was a nice change up from the other rolls, which had a sweetness to them that, although very good, could use something different. The salmon was fresh, and the spice from the roll isn't too intense for those who can't handle heat. However, if you're cold, don't really like the idea of eating cool sushi but want the flavor and textures, then I would suggest the Playboy Roll. It's a tempura fried roll, so it comes out warm. The inside with the eel, crab, shrimp, caviar, cream cheese and a special sauce on top makes it a huge roll that will give you ail the classic sushi flavors. It's a very nice roll, and holds up really well on the plate, despite being fried, which speaks volumes about the quality of sushi and the experience coming from that bar. But if you want a simple roll, I suggest going with an easy Eel Roll. I know, eel again, but honestly the BBQ eel is very sweet and savory, and the cucumber gives it a nice crunch. Then, you top that with the great ungai sauce and you really can't complain about your visit. Overall, the atmosphere is warm, and the servers kind, helpful and quick. The setting is great, modern and nothing overly generic or cliche that you think of when you imagine a sushi place. It's a stylish place, but not one that makes you feel unwelcome. It's a place for anyone: older folks, college students, workers, high schoolers, anyone. It's a friendly place for all comers, so long as they are respectful and patient. If you want a cool date, go early and tell your date they are always packed. If you get there during half-priced deal, it will definitely be crowded. Just ask what's going on, hear that it's half-price from another person and enjoy a great meal at an incredible place; your date need not be the wiser. You'll look sophisticated, smart and lucky all at the same time. And you'll have Sushi Thai to thank for it. Band Spotlight: The Gallery has fresh sound and tons of potential Jimmy Gibbs gibbsO 14 @ u wp .edu In todays music world it can be hard to find a new band with music that not only has a decent sound, but also separates themselves from others with their musical talent. With things like open mic nights happening constantly in local bars and galleries, and the internet giving us access to sites like Youtube, Pandora, and Spotify to name a few, music is everywhere and constantly accessible. In the world of college students, this is especially true; it is a crowd made up of young adults that have varying tastes in music, and who also have the ability to access the technology around them to listen to all kinds of music, old and new. We can find ourselves listening to so much of this music that the new bands can get lost in the shuffle. There is one such band that may have been lost in our daily shuffle of music-listening that deserves some mention. The band is called The Gallery and is made up of four members: Brendan Cooney (lead vocals, guitar), Ben Lozano (lead guitar), Dave Mozdzanowski (bass guitar, background vocals) and Ryan Cooney (drums). They recently released a brand new album titled "Restless" with 12 tracks. The album was released on Feb. 26 and was recorded in Los Angeles at Swinghouse Studios, Harmony Studios, and Spitfire Studios with producer Warren Haurt, who has also worked with such bands as Aerosmith, Augustana and The Fray. In 2011, The Gallery came out with the album "Come Alive EP", which really put them on the map among the college scene. With the release of the EP, they started hearing their songs played on several college radio stations, and have developed a large fan base that consists mostly of college students. Recently, I was able to get an interview with the band members to talk to them about their music, their inspirations, and their goals. JG: Let's go back to the very beginning: when did you guys meet, and what made you decide to put together and start a band? TG: Brenclah and I are brothers, so we had both watched each other progress with music for a few years. Once we got to a point where we both had interest in writing songs and playing live, we started working together. We met Dave in high school (he's from a nearby town) and we had a lot of fun and a lot of similar musical influences. Everything just kind of snowballed from there. When opportunities to make more music or play more shows started popping up, we thought it was worth it to see what we could make happen. JG: Who would you consider your influences or inspirations in the music world and why? TG: Some of the greatest inspirations for us are artists who have been doing the recording and touring thing for a long time. We look up to this class of artists because of their dedication to constant improvement and never giving up. A few of these groups include Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, etc. Some other artists we are all influenced by range from 90's bands like Oasis and Third Eye Blind, to more modern bands like Coldplay and John Mayer. Everyone definitely has their own influences besides the ones we all seem to share. JG: Would you say that any of these influences or inspirations show up in your music in any way? TG: Yes. We learn from a lot of artists we grew up listening to. We don't try to sound like them, but I'm sure it comes out as we've learned certain things about songwriting from other, more experienced artists. Photos provided by: The Gallery is its own thing, so we didn't want to make a record that had one mood all way through. We never mind listening to an album like that, but we wanted something with a range of emotion and feel. We all enjoy such a wide range of music, so I think all of those influences and loves come out in our writing. When Brendan presents a lyric idea for a song like "Dream Girl", we all sit around together and jam, and figure out the best way to convey the emotion for that track. We wanted to show that we love song writing in general and are versatile with our writing. We're really happy with the diversity of the songs, and are hopeful that they still fit nicely together on an album. We'll see what others think! JG: You've toured several states thus far. Any plans on making a trip out to the Chicago or Milwaukee areas in the near future? TG: I think we've hit around 35 states so far, but not nearly as often as we'd like! We played Chicago a couple of times, and really love it. We hope to come back to Wisconsin as well. We hope that extensive tour dates will be happening the rest of the year. Touring is a blast and playing live is our favorite part of all this. JG: Who writes the songs? Is it a collaborative effort, or is the song writing done by just one or a few of he t band members? TG: Usually Brendan will come to the group with a lyric and melody on the acoustic guitar. Sometimes the feel he presents sticks and we all work together to orchestrate the instrumentation. Sometimes the songs take a bit more incubating time to mold into a feel we think will work. From the original idea it is usually pretty collaborative, and the songs have a sound that only the four us could make. If you replaced one member, the sound would undoubtedly change. Brendan does a great job of taking an original lyric idea, taking everyone's ideas and parts and making a cohesive story in the end. JG: You guys have an interesting mix of music on this new album. Listening to it I noticed there's a song like "Young and Restless" that has a get-up-and-raiseyour-fists-to-the-air anthem type of feel to it. Then there's a song like "Dream Girl" that goes for a more country-romance type feel. Where's the inspiration for such songs come from? And what do you think makes you able, as a band, to delve into so many different styles on one album? TG: Our goal was to make an album that we enjoyed from start to finish. Each song JG: In the next ten years, where do you guys as a band see yourselves, or where would you like to be? TG: As mentioned earlier, we really look up to the artists who are able to have longevity in a tough industry. We would love the opportunity to still be making records, and touring ten years from now. We will always continue to learn and try to get better as musicians. We love to write, record, and play, so to be able to have those same opportunities ten years from now would be amazing. JG: The $64,000 question: If for just one night, you could party with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and why? TG: Sir Tom Petty. So there you have it, a brand new band with some pretty good music that's worth checking out. There's a few songs currently up on Youtube, but if you decide you have an interest in purchasing the album be sure to visit http://thegallerymusic.bandcamp.com to place an order for the new album. 8 The Ranger News April 10,2013 Goober Quest 3 & 4 Jim Neu neuOOOll 3«*J| Tks> u try itewjWw^^y^ff y»H X T Mpf ^||| jrffttfi! t* eu'ft & Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

ULMER Forcing a smile, UW-Parkside police officer Marlene Schlecht contemplates a future without police work. This month, Schlecht received a 3D-day termination due to injuries she had acquired while on the job. Starting December 31, Schlecht will no longer be employed at UW- Parkside. According t6 the decision, she is not fit for duty. Under the conditions of her termination, she also loses her eligibility for police-force employment elsewhere. "The police department issued the letter, but this is more of a human resources issue:' said Chief of Police Michael Marzion. "I signed the papers, but I didn't necessarily make the decision." Three years ago, Schlecht helped a student start his car by jump-starting it. While she stood in front of the student's car, he popped the clutch and ran into her, causing nerve damage to both her knees. '"'I wasn't sure what to do," said Schlecht. "I wrapped my knees in ice packs and called in another officer. I filled out a form saying I bad been injured on the job. Only later did I find out I was supposed to write my own accident report." After physical therapy, Schlecht has been restricted to what is considered "limited" duty, In other words, she does not work on the street but does office-type work. ''1 was injured, and T tried to get back to work as soon as I could." said schlecht. "I chose to stay at Parkside because I love the students, and I love the school." For the past 23 years, ScWecht has worked with several organizations to prevent and counsel victims of sexual a~sault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. These organizations include Crime Stopers, Women's Horizons Pathways of Courage, and the Parkside Violence Prevention Project. One of her special projects, Advocates Supporting Parkside and Educating for Non- Violence (ASPEN), "includes training for advocates that will provide services and support for victims of sexual assault dating/domestic violence and stalking and who will also assist in educating the community for nonviolence," according to an ASPEN pamphlet. "I have been working and trying to be proactive to prevent students from becoming victims and helping victims become survivors" said Schlecht. ' Schlecht also wrote a grant to bring the UW-Parkside police department up to date with technological standards. This grant enabled campus police to purchase new" computers that ensure that student files remain protected and confidential. Although Schlecht could have applied for retirement in two years. she will now be denied retirement benefits due to her termination. In order to prove she can continue to work in her current physical state, Schlecht would need to gain the approval of at least three doctors. "The problem is that they want a guarantee that my knees won't give out," said Schlecht "No doctor can give a guarantee like that." At the state level, one vote overturned the ruling or Schlecht'< injury as a case or "hazardous duty:' This decision largely impacted the current situation. "Hazardous duty qualifies the officer for different sorts of pay:' said Manion. "1\ also affects how the situation is dealt with." Representing all campus police. the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association (WLEA) ha also taken an interest in this case. According to Schlecht. this police force union believes that the decision in her situation may create a precedent for future injury cases in the state. After leaving UW-Parkside, Schlecht plans to continue her work with victims of violence through volunteer work with her church. BY NICK HONECK Reapplying for funds from the Segregated University Funds Allocation Committee (SUFAC) IS a process that major-status organizations go through every ~ear at this time. The process IS a long one, but when they are over, organizations secure their funding for the next school year. The process begins when the organizations are given their Budget Proposal Packets. Contained within the packet are sheets about the 2006- 2007 Spending Guidelines, appropriate and inappropriate segregated fee expenditures. a budget-request questionnaire, an officer payroll sheet, and the individual and budget summary breakdown sheets. As reported in the last issue of The Ranger News, organizations will only be allowed to ask for the same budget they received last year. Before the budget sheet.' can be completed, the budget must be approved by a general assembly from the organization. This is a new step in the process for this year. Once the packets are completed by the organization, they are sent back to SUFAC. Copies are then made and distributed to the DIne members of SUFAC. They are asked La read over the copies so they have some background knowledge of what the organizations are a..king for. Then. the orgunizanen presents Its budget 10 SlJFAC lor 10 minutes. This pre ..entation highlights how much moncv Ihe orgunization need, and goes uno detail about what they \Iotll spend it on. The organization may also include information about how they have served the liW- Parkside community. After the 100mlOute presentation. SLFA members hav e 10 minutes to qucsuon the organization ... about their budgets for the follow 109 school year. The question may deal" uh things like tnps that organizations want to take. as well as how much they "ill spend on office supplies. A cap of 1.500 has been set on office supply spending for 2006- '07. . After the question-and- answer period. the SUFAC members then take ten minutes to vote on how much they want to give to the organization. FUNDING continued on a e 3 2 The Ranger News - Mission Statement The Ranger News strives to inform, educate, and engage the UW-Parkside community by publishing well-written, accurate student journalism on a weekly basis. Letter From The Editor This issue marks the end of another semester for The Ranger News. : I am confident in saying that out staff has not only succeeded in bringing the newspaper to yet a higher level in terms of design quality and journalistic integrity, but the commitment and dedication of our staff has proven to be as solid as it ever was. Though it feels like it has been a long semester, I can look at the far wall in the news office and see the previous 13 newspapers we have published in the past three months. We have certainly made the most valuable use of our time. There were a few snags along the way - this being our first semester printing weekly - but we always pulled through. After winter break, we will be back on the scene, ready to take the spring semester head-on. Our Wednesday workshops, which were also new this semester, have added an extremely useful benefit to the news staff and students of UW-Parkside. These have focused on everything from basic reporting to photojournalism to design and layout. Our workshops have not only increased the value of the content of the newspaper, but also of the education students here receive. As expected, we have had conflicts with student government and administration this semester, but these conflicts will most likely always exist. We are not a public relations or propaganda publication. In fact, we see it as the media's responsibility to examine what people are doing with a critical eye and hold them publicly accountable, and if we only displayed the positive sides of what organizations here do, we would not be serving the community in the way that is needed. If we don't hold student government and administration accountable, then who will? People are always telling me how the paper has improved from years past. I attribute much of this to our mission to improve every issue of the newspaper and each aspect of the organization as a whole. We never rest or sit back and think we have reached perfection. It all goes back to the commitment and dedication our staff MS to creating the best product we can, and I am proud to be a part of such a cohesive team. Farewells are an order for three of our most dedicated staff members. To Opinion Page Editor Sherry Nelsen and Executive Reporter Nick Honeck, I say congratulations on graduating. To News Editor Ryan Kamphuis, I say good luck working this spring with the New York Knicks. I'm going to miss each of these people, and things won't be the same around the office without them. As for me, I'll be around one more semester, with my partners-in-press Nicholas Michael Ravnikar and Matt Gonya, along with all the other current staff members. Next semester we plan on knocking everyone's socks off and ending our experiences with The Ranger News as best as we can, while also transitioning the newspaper into its new leadership with the 2006-2007 editor-in-chief. , Thank you to everyone who has supported and/or read the newspaper this semester. It has been a pleasure working on it for the community. Be safe this winter, and if your culture begins a new calendar in the next couple weeks, then have a happy new year. Henry D.

This program is centered around teachers who would like to see what colleagues are doing in other classrooms, be observed, and, if wanted, share tips, techniques and ideas for effectively communicating lessons. Development generated from the idea that teacher visits and occasional feedback may benefit junior staff but has since been broadened with a growing interest from year-round teachers who are looking for communication between classes and desiring a chance to sit in on other subjects of interest, as opposed to remaining within assigned courses. "The principal idea is that most teachers at UW-Parkside are very committed to excellence in student learning, and we could serve as sounding boards and inspiration for each other," stated Beth Gronholm in a newsletter for faculty and staff regarding the development of PVP. This is the first time TLC has offered this program in its several years on UW-Parkside's campus, and, with already about a dozen participants. they hopes to "eventually expand to provide documented observations that could beincluded inpromotion and tenure dossiers asanaugmentation to the student evaluation forms." stated Gronholm. "This way, teachers will have a chance· to ask, 'What works in your class?' and we will be able to build support networks," said Christine Evans, the department chair of Geosciences. "We would like to foster conversation about good teaching at Parkside." Teachers will not only improve effectiveness of class but the academic excellence of UW- Parkside srodents as well. The Peer Visitor Program will begin at the start of next semester, with TLC coordinating teacher's requests for either a visitor to observe them or for the opportunity to observe another teacher. They are currentl y beginning to compile class schedules for interested staff. ativePride PageS SPORTS Winter Wrestling Preview Page 10 Boss Koss Talks With News Edilor's note: Afew hours prior to sending the paper 10 press, The Ranger News was ahle to contact PSGA Chief of Staff Yang AYang to get an official PSGA response to the reports that appear ir\Ihis issue. While Yang was unable to be interviewed, he did call PSGA President Dave Koss, who phoned in to The Ranger News' headquarters and was willing to be interviewed hy executive editor Nicholas Michael Ravnikar.

However, I'm trying to change that. I think we've done well with [the] Women's Issue committee this year, Zara's had Love Your Body Day she's had a couple other programs, obviously she had Women in Power Week. Also a lot of the stuff that we are doing is going to come through a little more clearly second semester, Leg.[islative] Day, bringing Paul Ryan to campus, hopefully bringing the governor to campus. the Economics Summit. Jose will be having another den night some more diversity sroff. [... ] One of me things we struggle with, is trying to show the srodent body what we accually do. That's [not] necessarily all that easy and I can understand why they are skeptical, because of the reputation student government has had in me past. First of all, a lot of what PSGA does is not evident directly to the students, a lot of what we do is governance stuff that's behind the scenes: appointing students to committees, making sure they go to committees, for shared governance [and] for faculty. And we've acroally done a better job at mat this year than in years past. I think for me first time the secretflry of the faculty, Walter, complimented Chris and I on having every committee filled. A lot of me omer behind the scenes stuff is making sure that the academic policies are going well, that I'm going to faculty senate, that we're going to budget briefing meetings, that we're sitti.ng in on UPC [University Plaruring Council, the chancellor's committee that is bandling the planning for me university in the next ten years]. To fulfill the student's role that way. So I can understand when a ,cudent comes up and says 'well, I really haven't seen anything that srodent government has Ravnikar: How much nf the budget PSGA has directed towards programming? How do you feel stipends fit into that? Koss: First let me say, the letter came off as harsh only to put the point across about organizations, fulfilling their needs, or fulfilling the roles they were designed to do. I don't necessarily feel super angry or anyming like that about what an organization has done .this year I just wanted to put the point across strongly so that organization just got the idea. Its not, in my opinion, going to be reduced or anything like mat because of any single program that has been done or hasn't been done. This is just to encourage organizations that haven't done as much this year that maybe they have in years past to think about doing some of that stuff. Wbat bas PSGA done tbis year to represent study body's interest? 2 The Ranger News December 6, 2005 Letter From The Editor So here is what I am currently dealing with: a letter from Dave Koss, student government president, stating that r am going tohave to stand before him and a few otber "qualified people" and explain how The Ranger News meets the requirements to be considered a major status organization. Ordinarily, r wouldn't have a problem explaining the importance of the media in a community or society. But I find the initiative by Kess to be extremely hypocritical and even offensive. I'm appalled, really, to say the least. "All of us need to remember that our mission is to serve the students of Parkside," Koss stated in the letter, expressing that he is "severely disappointed" in student organizations so far this year, Because Koss has the audacity to express his disappointment in other organizations, I'm going to step out on a limb and express my severe disappointment in the leaders of the Parkside Student Government Association. The big, end-of-the-semester resolution introduced last week was our student government's attempt to give themselves honor cords for graduation. The resolution basically said anyone who has been in student government for two years deserves honor cords. It will be voted on this Friday, which will be the final meeting of the semester for student government. Our student government claims to serve the students, so how does this resolution do that at all? In fact, how has our student government done more than any other organization to serve the students this semester? I'm the editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, and I have no idea. Maybe I would have an answer for those questions if the leaders of student government didn't refuse to talk to our reporters. Maybe I would know more if student government gave us meeting minutes and resolutions that are proposed, or at least if they gave these things to us wben.one of our staff members ask for it. And maybe I would know more if we received the reports from all the trips our student government takes to go to United Council meetings that we are supposed to get. We get next to nothing as far as cooperation from PSGA, despite all their talk about working together. Besides the fact that the proposed resolution would totally demean students who bave actually earned honor cords through academic excellence, PSGA is doing a disservice to the community by bringing up resolutions like this instead of tackling real issues. I feel sorry for the members of student government who really are there to serve the community, because instead they have to deal with all this "We are the voice of the students" hullabaloo and rhetoric. Student government has no obligation to stand in front of a committee of "qualified people" for an examination of their status. Instead, it's on the student body to elect or not elect senators and a president and vice president. These people will make decisions for 5,000 students, when less than 400 students vote for any of them, and less than 500 vote at all. But it-wouldn't matter if only 50 students voted, because these people would still be "elected by the student body." So, this is the system we live in. That's why I'm proud to work in the industry I do. The newspaper provides a legitimate service, clearly spelled out in our mission statement, and it is that we strive to inform, educate, and engage the community on a weekly basis. My only hope is that after all this, more students take an active interest in student government and campus politics - making it what they think it should be. In the mean time, I certainly encourage Koss to get a breath of fresh air. It seems to me that, unfortunately, the only educational value members of our student 12 government are getting is learning how to avoid the press and mis-serve their 1f; constituency. Perfect for politicians, I suppose, but not at all close to the proper ~_..<j~-77 progress people should expect from them. - Henry D.

Email us! therangernews_uwp@yahoo.com Letter from the editor Date: May 7 , 2004 Studio: Wyllie D139C Hey Porkside, It has been quite a year for the staff of The Ranger News. Many things have changed for us during the course of the year, and "here we are; our final issue. We feel that with every new issue, the paper gets better than the previous issue. This year, we have established ourselves and our mission toward the UW-Parkside community. Next year, we hope to bring the paper to the next level. On behalf of o ur staff, thank you for reading this year. Congratulations to ail graduating seniors and good luck i n the future. To all of you returning this Fall: we'll see you soon! —Henry D. Caskins, Editor-in-Chief Staff Member of the Year At the beginning of the school year, back in September 2003, a brightcycd girl entered Wyllie DI39C (The Ranger News Headquarters) inquiring about the possibility of writing for UWParkside's student newspaper. Since The Ranger News is always looking for more writers, we welcomed her with open arms. She brought ideas, ambition, and hard work, and the newspaper would be completely different today if Emily Rasbornik hadn't come, which is why we have chosen her to be our Staff Member of the Year. She has a drive to get things accomplished, and she has proved that time and time again throughout the year. When she first started, the newspaper was lacking a graphic designer, so the staff was working overtime trying to figure out how layout works. Emily stayed late nights helping us get the Fall 2003 issues designed and completed. She always comes up with new ideas, such as the Health and Body page, the Style page, and any other story she thinks might be worthwhile to write. She takes care of the Police Beat and writes most of the headings for each one (over some cosmopolitans, no doubt). Besides the newspaper, Emily takes advantage of all opportunities here at UW-Parkside by being involved as a DJ for 101.7 FM WIPZ, throwing down on some intramural sports, and utilizing the Career Center, which helped hook her up with an internship at a Milwaukee radio station this summer. Emily is a senior majoring in communication and seeking her professional writing certificate. She plans on a May 2005 graduation. She has been a great co-worker for all of us, and we hope she brings her ideas and ambition back with her next year, sr Artie ie Submissions Among other things, The an outlet for students interested in jou rnalism and writing in general.

I li ke the humorous headings to each incident, but one went too far. The one I am referring to is the person who suffered a seizure while on campus and was taken to a hospital. The heading written for that incident was "All Shook Up." This seemed a bit insensitive. -Anonymous I've been attempting to keep up with the events of the Parkside Student Government Association (PSG A) through reading The Ranger News and I've found many articles to be very biased. In the April 15th issue, there was a brief entitled "PSGA Argues Over Constitution." The title in itself has a negative vibe to it considering the word "argues" carrys with it negative feelings. —Anonymous I would like to say that I agree with the person who wrote in complaining about the meal plan system. It is ridiculous! And what about the chancellor's pancake breakfast? Did 1 really read that poster right? 10 o'clock to midnight?! That's just crazy. In fact, that's not even breakfast! Where I come from, that's called... something else. Also, the Gateway Gazette looks much better than The Ranger News. Why don't you guys switch to color? —Anonymous The Gateway Gazette is published once every two months, and they have a bigger budget than we do. It is also a faculty-run newspaper, whereas The Ranger News is completely student run. Got a complaint?

Student Organizations and Leaders Recognized The leadership Recognition Banquet, or what some call the Academy Awards of UW-Parkside, took place April 22 to honor student organizations and student leaders who have made a visible difference to the campus community. Chancellor Jack Keating was present, and he gave an opening speech congratulating all the students there, noting that they were the ones who really are getting all they can out of their college experience. The categories included Emerging Student Leader, Distinguished Student leader, Outstanding Organization Member, Advisor of the Year, Community Service Program Award, SOC Organization of the Year, and Major Status Organization of the Year. Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA) and Parkside Asian Organization (PAO) tied for the Major Status Organization of the Year.

Page 4 The Ranger News ' -- Interview with PSGA President Elect Chris Semenas .. * „ nnlno un to cfiirlents in Wvlli May 7 , 2004 By Josh Langer The Ranger News: First, I'd like to say congratulations on winning the PSGA presidential election. Chris Semenas: Thank you. It was a lot of hard work. It was a hard fought race and I had a great time doing it because a lot of people who helped out on my campaign were people I didn't even know three weeks ago and now they're close friends. Those are the people that, on election night, you're the most grateful to. Because they're the ones that believed in you, and they're the ones that fought with you, and they're the ones that stuck with you to the end. The Ranger News: What do you think distinguished you from the other candidates and allowed you to win? Chris Semenas: I t hink it was my experience. I've been here for three years, and been involved on many different levels on this campus. I'm known by other student leaders on campus. Dave's [Koss, Semenas s running mate and new PSGA vice president] and my campaign organization was very well put together. We had people out there from 9 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock at night days before the election, and on elections day, we talked to students in our classes, we talked to organizations, we talked to people involved with athletics. We got a lot of people to come together. We built a strong base and coalition. I think students recognize that there needs to be someone who is represented with them on all levels of this campus, who is going to walk forw ard, and be the unifying force, so when I d o sit in on the faculty senate, or I am talking to the chancellor, that I am representing all the views. I think a lot of students recognized that when they went to vote. But most of all I h ave to hand it out to the people that helped out on my campaign. Their belief in me, those friends and supporters, helped me to go forward. The Ranger News: Will you be presiding over like-minded senators? Will you command the majority necessary to accomplish your goals? Chris Semenas: The election came out overwhelmingly in favor of me, Dave, and the fifteen people that ran with us. Of the twenty five people running [for senate,] fifteen of them were on the STAR slate, which is Students Talking About Real issues. The senators that were elected on the STAR slate were the top fifteen vote getters. I th ink why is because we were organized and because we were out there. I d on't think it will be my job to preside over the meeting next year as it is this year (because 1 am the president pro tempore this year), but next year I will be working with individual senators and lobbying them on issues and talking to them. I am the leader of this organization now. and I want new senators to know I am there to help them. Furthermore, I will facilitate any discussions students need to have on campus. The Ranger News: How do you plan to lead the senate? What goals are going to be accomplished for the students? Chris Semenas: My first priority is bringing together that disconnect that we notice on this campus. Because a lot of times we don't see organizations and athletics working together. We're all students here. We all have the same issues, and one thing we need to look at is how are we actually going out there and talking to students? What Dave and I campaigned on was renewing, rebuilding, and redefining how student government works. First of all, we need to renew our commitment to the students. The students are the ones that elected us. We need to be serving the students, whether it's going to classrooms and doing classroom raps, to going to organization meetings, or going to sports teams and talking to them during their practices, or even going up students Wyllie Market or the cafeteria and saying, state legislature is doing this, we need your voices heard. It's all about having the students voices heard. It's also about rebuilding PSGA. The PSGA has come a long way from where it was two years ago, when I was first elected, and it's about rebuilding the inside—making it more efficient, having a close link of senators, having directors who work closely with each other on issues that are effecting them. We need to be voicing our shared governance committee because we're actually one of the most powerful campuses in the country, because we have Wisconsin state statute 36095. where students have a pari with what goes on in [the administration of] the university. A seat that I'm going to utilize to the maximum is the faculty senate seat. A student [the PSGA president] gets a voting seat on the faculty senate. On April 25, our senate passed a resolution opposing a policy change proposed [by faculty] where they wanted to impose that students must get a C or better on the ENGLISH 101, the MATH 102, or the MATH 111 class before they could take any upper level classes. What that would mean is that a freshman who would want to take an internship on a political campaign that year because they believe in the candidate, couldn't take that, because they didn't pass these classes. The students united—when I was up there campaigning I heard students talking about this—the students united, spoke out against this, and in the end, our president cast the tie-breaking vote against this. When students spoke up there, a lot of professors minds started to change. When they walked in there, they supported [the proposal for C or better to take upper level classes,] but in the end, the students' voice ended up prevailing. That's what student government needs to be doing again. We need to be having our voice being heard. PASA Earns Major Status Award By Josh Langer The Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA) was chosen as the Major Status Organization of the Year. PASA makes it their mission to "provide outstanding peer support, service, and programming to the non-traditional students of UW-Parkside," in the words of the organization's president. Donna Mink ley. PASA's current enrolled membership of 117 students is a nearly 50% increase over the previous academic year. With more active members, the effectiveness of the organization in reaching out to their peers increases. A non-traditional student is "anyone with adult responsibilities outside the classroom," according to Rebecca Ferguson, UWParkside's advisor for non-traditional students. Ferguson holds a PhD, and she was non-traditional status during graduate school. Many non-traditional students come back to college after spending years in the workforce or military. During this time, many receive on the job training that qualifies as college level. This college level learning can be translated into academic credit. One of Ferguson's duties as advisor is to assist non-traditional students in realizing their maximum potential through the Credit for Experience-Based Learning (CEBL). PASA is a resource for every non-traditional student, whether a working mother of two or a grandfather, to find all the resources UW-Parkside has to offer. PASA's goal is to have its members graduate and leave UW-Parkside and PASA, gaining valuable leadership skills that will extend to their future careers. Minkley, five other PASA members, and Ferguson attended the Association of Non-Traditional Students in Higher Education (ANTSHE) conference in Dallas this spring. "When I went to the ANTSHE conference, f felt that Parkside was an outstanding school for providing support to non-traditional students," said Minkley, taking a break from writing her senior thesis. Minkly, in addition to being president of PASA, was awarded the distinction of Outstanding Student Organization Member for her high GPA. Minkley wrote in her nomination for the major status organization award that "PASA takes the development of its members seriously and we sponsor deserving students to make it possible for them to attend conferences in their majors." She cites member Jamie Lambert's trip to Texas to study geosciences, and member Rebecca Nicke's trip to attend a mock European Union Conference, which was required by her political science major. In addition to offering services to deserving students, PASA has consistently and admirably designed top-notch programming at which all UWParkside students are welcome. They started last year with the Family Weekend Carnival, which drew 300 people to campus. Another program that PASA made happen, which was co-sponsored by the Black Student Union (BSU), was last year's appearance at UW-Parkside by the Muntu African Dance Troop. The Ranger News UW-Parkside Rallies Behind Racine's Gang Diversion Program By Tracy Medek It is challenging to find a cause that can stir the heart, excite the imagination, and spur the spirit of activism in a single individual, let alone a group of forty, but that is precisely what UW-Parkside's Communication Department has done. Two upper division communication classes—Senior Seminar with Professor Fay Akindes and Designing Conflict Intervention with Professor Mary Waid—have found both inspiration and infinite opportunities for reciprocal learning in Taylor Home. Tay lor Home is Racine' s G ang Diversion Program. The program's goal is to provide at-risk youth with a positive and supportive after-school experience. An attentive staff, safe environment, and activities that foster cooperation and personal growth are just some ot the features that make Taylor Home such an invaluable program. Taylor Home is an especially groundbreaking program, as it not only works with its young members, but with their families as well. They provide parents, siblings, and other family members with a great many services, such as counseling and transportation to and from job interviews and doctor's appointments. The program seeks to strengthen not only die individual member, but the member's support system as well. The idea of expansive inclusion in the addressing of this social issue is characteristic not only of the program's innovativeness, but also of the staff's genuine compassion and commitment to the youth they work with. By Tracy Medek Isaac Taylor founded Taylor Home as an orphanage in 1867. Taylor had grown up in an orphanage in Whales, and found the facility cold and bleak. He believed in the potential to create a warm and welcoming environment for orphans, and the advent of Taylor Home did Wisconsin abolished orphanages in 1955, so the facility became a residential treatment facility to serve "Incorrigible youth," (i.e.: runaways, children from dysfunctional homes). Five years later, the original facility was torn down, and a cluster of red brick cottages was built in its place to further the I As of now, half of the I alternative schooling for the Racine Unified School District, and the other half is devoted to Taylor Home's Gang Diversion Program. The program is available to students ages 6-1.7 who have been referred there based on family dysfunction or behavioral problems. A typical day at Taylor Home begins with half an hour for recreation in the gym. This is followed by a small meal provided by Taylor Home. For many of the members, this is the only meal they will receive that evening. The members are then given whatever assistance they may need with their homework. Finally, the evening concludes with a group workshop. One of the most recent workshop topics was diversity. The corresponding activity involved the members working together to bake a marble cake—a hands-on illustration of the blending together of different races. Another activity was a scavenger hunt, aimed at enhancing cooperative teamwork. Greater comprehension of social issues and improved interpersonal communication and conflict resolution are two of the primary objectives of Taylor Home. The program "s creative approach and compassionate spirit give the kids who come through their doors a second chance. It is certainly a program worth fighting for. W The two participating Communication classes are devoting their time and energy, as well as the insight they have cultivated through the Communication Major, in order to ensure the program's continued survival and to provide the program's gifted counselors with further ideas for conflict resolution. The sixteen members of the Designing Conflict Intervention course have made several visits to Taylor Home to gather field notes. The students then used the notes to help them generate ideas as to what group work strategies and interpersonal intervention tactics might prove beneficial to the Taylor Home counselors. The class presented those ideas to the counselors during their final visit. Senior Seminar's focus is the program's financial struggles. Taylor Home has recently lost $30,000 in funding, a portion that was previously covered by the City of Racine's Community Development Block Grant. Due to this drastic budget cut, the facility is unable to provide the same caliber of service. The food budget has suffered dramatically, as has the program's staffing. Likewise, Taylor Home is unable to replace their worn out recreation equipment or update their library's collection. The Seminar class is working to raise money and awareness for the Taylor Home. They are currently selling raffle tickets in an effort to raise funds. Senior Seminar has also visited Taylor Home several times to interact with the children and to get a better sense of where their particular needs lie. The class will visit the facility one final time to present them with a check, as well as with some much-needed recreational and educational items. Senior Seminar and Designing Conflict Intervention have found more than a mere site for a class project in Taylor Home. They have found friends in the children, faith in the power of activism, and confidence in the skills they have developed through the communication major.

The national championships took place April 23-24 and included teams from ail over the nation. Parkside started the tournament with a win over Eastern Michigan. Then they suffered a lost to Southern University. Then they went on to beat The University of Central Florida before losing to the tournament's runner up Arkansas State University. The team's most exciting win was over The University of Central Florida when Larae Wood hit the game winning shot with less than 3 seconds left West Virginia ended up winning the National Championship. Intramurals sent a team of eight including: Joseph Clayton, Allen Colburn, Joe Daniels, Courtney Ferguson, Michael Lui, Steven Nebel, Larae Norwood, and Willis Wray. Page 7 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 HEALTH & By Emily Rasbornik What is, overall, safer for your body: alcohol or marijuana? The h ealth impact of any drug depends on how it's used, who's using it, how much is used, and under what circumstances. Comparing them directly is difficult — each possesses the potential for unique risks or benefits. People using marijuana or alcohol to get high or drunk are more likely to experience the better-known negative consequences of these drugs. Alcohol use may contribute to liver disease, heart disease, peptic ulcers, and physical dependency. Marijuana use may contribute to problems thinking clearly, memory loss, dependency, and (if smoked) smoking-related health problems, such as throat and lung cancer and respiratory problems. Furthermore, both alcohol and marijuana are thought to contribute to mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. Marijuana and alcohol have both been shown to significantly reduce reaction time and motor coordination, two skills that are essential to safely operate a motor vehicle. In general, being drunk or high compromises sound judgment and may lead to unhealthy or risky decisions that you wouldn't make when sober.

SPACE IS LIMITED SKY KNIGHTS EAST TROY 1-800-ET-CHUTE 25 MINUTES FROM MILWAUKEE Does the use of marijuana affect a person's sexual performance? Whether it's sex, socializing, or skydiving, marijuana's affect on performance can vary. Pot is in a drug class by itself — neither considered a stimulant, nor a depressant, because its effects are in large part determined by the expectations of its users. By the same token, marijuana, alcohol, and other drugs can also amplify one's pre-existing personality traits: paranoia; fearfulness; gregariousness; anxiety; aggressiveness, etc. And, these factors don't jump out the window when you jump into bed. You a nd your partner can probably get more specific answers for yourselves by discussing and examining marijuana's role in your sex life: is it an innocuous side-bar, used every now and then (legal considerations aside), or is it a third participant on which you depend? For some, sex itself is an anxiety-producing proposition, so they use pot to relax. Others might use weed with the mission of heightening sensitivity. Keeping in mind the powerful role that your mind plays in the action of pot and other drugs, the calming down and turning on goals can also be reached without bringing drugs into the bedroom. There is a possibility that any drug can become a crutch for behaviors, sex included, that people find uncomfortable. For some, these crutches turn into necessary aids, resulting in unhealthy use and abuse. One last note: long-term use of marijuana does seem to affect reproductive health. Marijuana has an effect on testosterone production and other hormones, which in turn can affect fertility, erectile dysfunction, menstruation, and other areas.

Page 8 The Ranger News The American Democracy Project By Kara J. Smith There is a phenomenon overcoming University campuses around the country. It comes in, engages students, and promotes civic engagement, something that University campuses have been lacking. This new program has the potential to let our generation become one that is remembered, not for our lacking a sense of community, but one that builds up the community and creates new programs to better it. This program will give our generation the boost it needs to come out of the university system with more than a piece of paper, it will give us a more well rounded understanding of what is really going on in the world around us. This program will make us into the people we should want to be as our generation steps up to take over this country and as we set it up for future generations when it is there turn. This program is the American Democracy Project. At the beginning of the semester I had the joy of getting involved in this new program led byfaculty7 and students alike. Many people around the campus that you see everyday are working to get this program set up and into practice. These people include administrators, heads of departments, faculty, and students. They all work together as equals and everyone's ideas are of value and incorporated into what will be our eventual result. At the beginning of the semester we kicked this project off by getting together and brainstorming ideas. Out of this brainstorming parly, we formed groups to accomplish these ideas. The groups we ended up with are: Promoting the Common Good, Examining Expectation, Voices of Students, Global Community, 100% Voter Registration and Education, Interactive Communication for UW-Parksidc and Beyond, and Civic Engagement in the Curriculum. Each group had meetings throughout the semester separately to work out how they wanted to go about accomplishing their goal and what they were going to do to reach their goal. We recently got back together as a group and reported what vve had been working on all semester. Of these, I think, there are two that would very much interest the students at this university: Voices of Students and 100% Voter Registration and Education. Voices of Students is looking to make sure that the students are heard and have a voice. Of their many ideas and great ways to help students, I t hought the best was providing a place where students can share their ideas and thoughts. I thought this was an idea that the student body would embrace and could really use. They also said that PSGA is working toward the same goal. There will hopefully be much collaboration and great student work to see this amazing proposal for the students become a reaiitv. The other group, I thought, would affect students because the voter group is going to try to reach out in any way that they can. Their dream is to make sure that you have every opportunity to learn about the issues, iearn about the candidates and also vole. This will be a campaign that will never end; it will not just be when a big election rolls around, but a constant campaign. 1'his group would like to also create a place on campus that provides you with access to information on candidates and issues. One of the greatest things about this group is that they are doing this for you and they will be hosting Rock the Vote social parties and raffles where all you have to do to enter is be a registered voter. You will see this campaign really lake off next semester. There arc other groups also working on similar ideas and this group would like to work in conjunction with them in any way possible. These are just a few of the things that this project as a whole is looking to do for students, but it is mainly there to help them in everyway possible to be more civic minded and engaged. This project can be a great tool on this campus. I hope that all will benefit fully from the work that these great people arc doing, Chancellor's Pancake Breakfast Musical Entertainment by Hedgehog r onen to all students Take a break from exams (reef f t««* freel WeMU pancakes • • • Sausage Links • • • •' Scraped Eggs^ Breakfast Breads' . juice • • Coffee • *§§§1 • * Hondas, Mav10,2004 10:00 m-WididoM @ parkslde Cafe With; specia il guests servii Wihe food and beverages.'

Page 10 The Ranger News The Ben Kweller Interview By: Katie Dylewski Okay. I'm sure there are quite a few [people out there in IParkside land who have heard me go on id on and on about this guy. Well, here go again. To those of you who I haven't gotten to yet, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Ben Kweller. I'll keep it short, I promise. I've written and rewritten this article about 50 million times, so I'm going to just come out with what I've been trying to find a fancy way to say: Ben Kweller is amazing. Trying to describe him is hard, but his music is often categorized as guitar/piano poppy-folk-rock. If I tried to stand apart all the other reviewers and not praise his work like crazy - I'd be a big fat liar. He's one of only a handful of people born after 1970 who is worthy of a musical genius title. His music is constantly evolving and consistently awesome. It's also safe to say that Mr. Kweller put on one of the best live shows I've ever witnessed. Realizing that I'll never see any rock greats (in their prime anyway) perform live, I'm content because I've seen Ben. To be honest, Ben Kweller doesn't need me, or any advertisement, to convince people that his music is worth buying. Fans of his music continue to spread the word because as amazing as he is, he is still unknown and unheard by far too many people. Ok, basic points covered. I had the opportunity to speak with Ben, via telephone, a few weeks before the release of his newest record, 'On My Way'. I trie d my best to contain all urges to blurt out the only phrases that came to mind, such as '"Holy sh*t! You re Ben Kweller", "You're sooooo awesome", and "How does it feel to be sooo awesome". It was hard, but I managed to keep composure and stick to a laundry list of questions. I picked a few to stick in here, in a topic/quote format: Inspiration for recording this album live: Ben Kweller: Just like my love for sixties music." Favorite song to play off the new album: Ben Kweller: I l ove to play 'I Need You Back' and 'On My Way'. The new record has received extremely good reviews, many coining him "the next Bob Dylan". Album Review: Sufjan Stevens — Seven Swans By Aaron Wensel Sufjan Stevens latest album Seven Swans follows in the wake of the success of last year's Greetings from Michigan. This ambitious introspective indie folk singer-songwriter plans to release an album for each of the fifty states, beginning with his home state of Michigan. Seven Swans conveys his loving relationship with God calmly and honestly. In an interview with Uncut magazine out of Britain, they asked him why his God seems vengeful in his songs. To this he laughed and replied, "Oh no. There's no element of revenge in the character of God, but there's definitely an aggressive joy. He's not chasing you like a stalker, he's chasing you like a lover chases you. There's a lot of aggression in that kind of romance. We pursue things out of reverence, out of our need to worship." The liree most powerful songs; Abraham, Seven Swans, and The Transfiguration; seem like bible stories set to musical melody. Steven's tender vocal delivery and subtle plucking on both banjo and guitar echo Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. Stevens sings, "if I'm alive again this time next yean" but unlike Drake and Smith, Stevens seems to have found strength in God. The next song on the album declares, 'T have found a lot of life in you, and I think that dress looks nice on you." Sufjan Stevens love for life and faith could uplift even the most downtrodden, hopeless people. Sufjan sings, "I'd swim across Lake Michigan, to be alone with you," and his words have come across and touched me deeply. This album possesses the intimacy of Elliott Smith, where you can hear the squeaks on the strings as he slides up and down his guitar. This is a very warm, heartfelt album that could give you a new outlook on life. ST Ben Kweller: Well Bob Dylan - that's just over the top. I l ove Bob Dylan and like Neil Young. The thing about those two, they've always made the records they want to and spoken straight from their hearts. I think that's a big reason why they're around today. It's definitely an honor to be spoken about in the same light." Ben was recently married — to Lizzy! ('Sha Sha' featured a song titled 'Lizzy'). They are both 22 years old. Ben Kweller: Yeah, like, it's so old school. 1 was thinking about it, and it's like my grandfather got married when he was 22. People don't get married young anymore. My grandparents were together for so long. It's kind of like, 1 feel like it's back during WWII when the husband is going off to war and like, that's what I'm about to do [tour]. She can fly out to meet me as opposed to getting letters from overseas, (laughs) It's a little better. And plus, I don't have to worry about anyone trying to shoot me. Well - F*ck. You never know. I h ope not." Needless to say, the new album is amazing and you just need to hear it for yourself. Ben is currently on a co-headlining tour with Death Cab For Cutie, playing a total of eight sold-out shows in the month of April alone. He was in Chicago on both April 15 and 16 (sold out) at the Vic Theatre. ( A little known fact: The tour was booked a stop at UW-Parkside for March 26, but things weren't worked out with the sponsoring club in time, so his management re-booked him for Milwaukee show that night instead. Grr. No hard feelings though.) You could have seen Ben for free on Conan O'Brien on April 14. He will be on Last Call With Carson Daly (airing in May). He's also completed a video for "The Rules," and will be on MTV2, for those of you lucky ducks with digital cable. That's about all I can fit in, so go buy his album (and 'Sha Sha' too) and I'll do my best to leave Ben out of conversations for at least little while. Maybe a day or so. Page 11 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 Interview with EI Oso By George C. Drury This week, I would like to introduce you to a Milwaukee band that has been making quite a buzz. El Oso a quintet made up of Jim Hanke (guitar and vocals), Jeff Grabowski (keys and electronics), Mark Mendygral (guitar), Lee Gianou (bass), and Andy Hartzell (drums and percussion). The band arose from the ashes of several Milwaukee and Racine area bands including: Twinstar Mariner, Radio Tokyo, A Hero's Trial, and Red Letter Days. I interviewed lead' singer and guitarist, Jim Hanke, because after havingseen them several times and meeting with the band on a couple of occasions I felt that they deserved to get a little attention. Since their first show as a whole band back on January 31 2004 they have grown together as a cohesive unit. So after you meet Jim here ' on this page, check out the website at www.eloso.net, or try to catch one of the upcoming shows. If they catch your interest, pick up one of the FREE two song samplers they have available or download the songs for free from their website. When and how did El Oso form? Jim Hanke: Around April of last year, my band Twinstar needed some promo photos of us taken to send out with our album for clubs and what have you. A few friends of mine recommended this guy Andy Hartzell and I knew his name from his previous band Radio Tokyo, but I ha dn't ever really talked with him. So 1 got in to uch and we did the pictures, but Twinstar split up soon after that. I still wanted to continue playing music, but I wanted to focus more on slower stuff at the time, maybe with a lot of piano, so I was telling a few friends what had happened and they said, "You know, Andy is really looking to get back into playing in a band again. Maybe you guys should talk." Andy and 1 got together again and we were really on the same page of what kind of music we both wanted to do next. We hooked up with Jeff through an ad we placed and around October of last year we recorded four songs and gave them out as a demo to people who were interested in playing bass or lead guitar. Soon after that, Mark tried out and we snatched him up almost immediately and then Lee came over and when the five of us played together, it felt really solid and perfect, so that was it. We played our first show in January of this year. How would you describe the style of music you play? Jim: I think that there are elements of several genres, but it all fits under the umbrella of indie-pop. What bands do you feel your sound is similar to? Jim: I think if people wanted a general idea of what we sounded like, but hadn't heard us yet, 1 would say a few bands we're similar to would be Appleseed Cast, The Good Life, Death Cab for Cutie or Elliott. What inspired you to start playing music? Jim: f ca n't speak for the rest of the guys, but around freshman year of high school I just became so enthralled with music in general that I cou ldn't stand on the side anymore and simply listen. 1 got a beat-up acoustic guitar from my folks but I didn't know much about maintenance or whatever, so I couldn't change strings at all. Whenever I broke a string, I just tried to write a song with five or four strings or whatever was left. Since every thing can be inspirational, what things (music, art, literature, etc.) influence your music? Jim: Our song "Rifle In The Tower" is influenced by the Chuck Palahniuk novel "Lullabye", which is about a newspaper reporter who learns an African culling song that can kill people just by thinking it. Sooner or later it just becomes a part of his daily memory, like his phone number or whatever and he becomes a serial killer simply because this song or poem keeps coming back in hi s head. I'm just a big fan of scenarios or scenes in general, so I kin d of try to imagine a certain thing someone may be experiencing and then writing from either the complete opposite aspect or maybe writing from both sides. I know that my reasons for picking up the guitar are about the same as yours, but there were also some defining moments in my musical life that El Oso (from left to right): Andy Hartzell, Jim Hanke, Mark Mendygral, Lee Gianou, and Jeff Grabowski. Photo by Nicole Tappa solidified that desire. Was there a specific band or song that triggered that feeling or was it really just music as a whole? Jim: A radio station in Madison, WORT, pretty much turned me on to lots of different bands and probably is most responsible for informing me of the diversity of music. It didn't come through all that clear on my radio, but during my freshman year of high school, WORT was playing all these bands that were completely new to me (Red House Painters, Superchunk, My Bloody Valentine, Buffalo Tom, lots more). I dis covered that radio, music, everything went beyond the garbage what was dominating the airwaves (Candlebox, The Offspring, etc.). 1 think that station, at least, gave me a starting point. Palahniuk is one of my favorite writers and after listening to "Rifle" again, I can definitely hear the influence of Lullaby in the lyrics. Are there any other writers or poets whose grasp of the written word you feel has had a definite impact on your life? Jim: Not really. I do think that novels, poems and stuff are getting a little more forgotten with every generation, so I guess I'd encourage people to read those things more often. There's a line in a Wilco song that goes "I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a f*ck," which is sad but really true. I'm totally guilty of just reading magazine articles or whatever though, so I can't really talk, but you just have to find something that interests you. As far as musicians, I'm extremely fond of very wordy writers who don't often repeat lines. Someone who can tell a story with lots of verbage or whatever and set a mood is far more interesting to me than some angry political song or whatever. I guess Elvis Costello or Colin Meloy; if I had to name anybody, do that the best in my book. 1 think that one of the most powerful images in your lyrics is at the beginning of Mt. Iceberg, the lines about the cabin being built from "grandpa's bones." Where did an image like that come from? Jim: I do n't know, really. It sounds like a cop out, but I have no idea where some of the stuff comes from anymore. When Twinstar split up, f real ly wanted to write songs that were more story-like, so "Mt. Iceberg" is one of those. It takes place in Denmark late at night in the 19th century, so I guess I just went with the "grandpa's bones" line because you can picture a cabin at that time being darkly lit and really creaky. "Buty It & Smile," the song we usually end our shows with, is about twin brothers whose father died in Vietnam the day they were born. One brother ends up being more successful than the other but he has lungs half the size as his twin. One night when they're staying over at their mother's house, there's a fire that kills the rich brother and the less successful brother is accused of arson. I mea n that's something that's totally drawn up because I'm an only child, but I definitely think there's some grit to the story. I admit that sometimes songs you can relate to mean a lot more, but some of the best stories are 100% pure fiction, f gue ss, personally, I'm just more interested in th at sort of writing these days. There may be a line or something that I throw in th at may be a little more personal, but if someone were to tell me that they thought the lyrics were really character-driven, I'd take it as a compliment. I don't know... I'm sure there's no possible way I can talk about this stuff without sounding like a complete jackass. Page 12 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 Movie Reviews Dawn of the Dead |: By Jim Burzelic f love i t Zombies, malls, shotguns, and more zombies... alright that's not ALL there is to the movie. Dawn of the Dead is a remake of die original 1978 version, about a group of people dying to survive a zombie holocaust by hol ing up in a mall. Directed by first-timer Zach Snyder, it is a roller coaster of frenzy-paced action and slow breaks to let the audience catch its breath before being plunged back into the nightmare. Sarah Polley (Go, eXistenZ) plays Ana, the main character that we follow throughout the movie, who wakes up to see her husband die and come back right in their bedroom. As she flees her no-longer safe home she discovers that overnight the world has been transformed by the dead rising up and devouring the living creating more dead that rise up and continue the cycle. Ana first meets Kenneth, played by Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible, Pulp Fiction), who is an ex-marine police officer. They then meet up with the others and decide to hole up in the local mall and wait for rescue. There they deal with a slew of problems from unwelcoming security guards to power supply problems to-anxiety from isolation. This movie is excellent—the opening sequence alone made me an instant fan. Eveiy element of the film came together. For example, the music is not only well-placed, but the choices have special qualities such as Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" dining the opening sequence of doom around the country or the muzak in the mall playing "Don't Worry Be Happy," juxtaposing die catastrophic events outside. The only element that felt forced is the final escape. The dialogue between Ana and Michael, played by Jake Weber, is a bit schmaltzy and out of sync with the rest of the film. On my scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Dawn of the Dead a 9. I'm going to wear this one out once it comes out on DVD. What is a Desert island Album? It is the album that you would risk your life saving in a lire. They are albums that never get tiresome, even after that 78th listen. They are the albums that you have to have if you were ever stranded on a desert island. Of course, you would also need some sort of listening device. J By Preston Brown If I were stuck on a deseit island with only one album to listen to, I would have to choose Radiohcad's fourth effort Kid A. Now I know thai somepeople aren't into the more electronic sounds that the band's later work is best known for but neither am I, and that's the beauty of it. This album is not just an electronic experiment, or a vanity project that allows the artists to waste our time with their personal growth, it's an album that has been stripped dow n to the bare essentials. Kid A tears down all the studio masks, and leaves it's listeners with a raw, bells and whistles free album. Melody is the main character of this album, and with few roadblocks to it, we get a clear sense of its presence. The songs are simplistic and rhythmic, and through the flow of the album, give the listener an appreciation for minimalism. If things are stripped down, then everything that is exposed has to be perfect. The electronic noises in this album arc not window dressing, as is usually the case with such projects. Rather, it's an opportunity for the artists to learn different instruments. Man on Fire by Jim Burzelic Denzel Washington (Training Day, Out of Time) stars as Creasy, an ex-military assassin who lost his job because of a drinking problem. He goes to Mexico and gets a job protecting Pita, played by Dakota Fanning (Taken, The Cat in the Hat), the daughter of Samuel Ramos, played by Marc Anthony (Carlito's Way, Bringing Out the Dead). Pita is kidnapped and the dealings go wrong. After he recovers from his wounds, Creasy seeks vengeance on everyone involved. Man on Fire is a remake of the original 1987 novel adaptation. Overall, I enjoyed this movie. I thou ght the acting was well done and the cinematography was kinetic and stylized. The script was realistic and believable. The basic themes of revenge and redemption are explored as Creasy wades through the ranks of La Hermandad, a crime organization. The only real problems with the movie were that the whole set-up took a very long time. Also, some of plot twists and shifts were forced, and because there were so many of these shifts, the climax was robbed of some of its impact. But what it lost with these elements, it made up for with gritty revenge scenes, it seemed more like the plot was just a complex excuse to get Creasy "to do his thing." Man on Fire gets a 6 out of 10; what it lacks in polish, it makes up for hi effort and attitude. Hellboy By Jim Burzelic I am a fan of movies. I am also a fan of comic books. The combination of the two is a very exciting and volatile subject. One of the neatest things is seeing your favorite heroes brought to life, hearing their voices, and watching them move around as real people. But as with any franchise, when you transfer one medium to another, you risk losing the original audience because of discrepancies between the two stories. Comic book fans seem to be even more critical of these changes than other fanbases. It's tantamount to messing with someone's car. Sure, maybe it'll be better than before, but then again maybe not. Hellboy is an example of this. I myself am a big fan of die comic book on which the film is based, so 1 approached this movie with apprehension. As a movie Hellboy not only had to prove itself to me all over again, but it had an uphill battle. Well, it won me over. I enjoyed it. Hellboy is a movie about a demon that is summoned by Rasputin with help from the Nazis. Before they can get their evil hands on the new-born, the Americans show up and send them running for the hills. Named by an off-the-cuff remark from the paranormal expert, the demon is given the name Hellboy and raised by the US government in secret. He belongs to an equally secret organization that hunts down all manner of nasty beasts from mythology and nightmare. Sixty years after the initial event, the Nazis return and start causing a ruckus that Hellboy is called on to put down. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Blade II, Mimic) and starring Ron Perlman (Blade II, Titan A.E.), the movie is a fun, paranormal action/ adventure with cheesy one-liners, good and bad CGI and, like any good pulp story, Nazis. The themes it explores are exploration of the self, freewill overcoming predestination, and like the other comic book movies, acknowledgement and acceptance of diversity. Hellboy manages to cover all of these without becoming too schmaltzy and ruining the fun. Overall, it's not the greatest movie ever but it is at the higher end of average. I wish there was more to say, but an average movie doesn't offer much to critique. I'd say it gets about a 6 out of 10. Page 13 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 The Punisher Kill Bill vol. 2 By Jim Burzelic Starring Uma Thurman (Paycheck, Pulp Fiction), David Carradine (Kung-fu), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Species), and Daryi Hannah (Roxanne, Grumpy Old Men), Kill Bill vol. 2 follows the Bride (Thurman) as she continues to exact her revenge on her former assassin teammates and ultimately kill their leader. Bill (Carradine). While not as violent in quantity as the first it definitely makes up for it in quality with snake bites, incapacitating shotgun blasts, living burials, and an assortment of other torturous cruelties that are doled out between the characters. . . , This much anticipated second half of Quentin Tarantino s Kung-fu-Grind-house homage does what a good sequel should do: stand on its own yet also continue the predecessor's original story. Granted, since the two volumes were originally written to be one movie, the second goal had been accomplished prior to filming. With this in mind, it is strange how dissimilar in style the two are. The first was a kili-a-minute, fight-filled bloodbath with little discourse of plot and character development, while the second is more akin to the westerns, and samurai movies that inspired them, with their slow rises and flashes of action punctuating the story7 and character conflicts. One wouldn't expect these two styles to be in the same story arc but Tarantino pulls it off like a gourmet chef serving opposite courses that ultimately compliment each other. So if you've seen the first one, don't be expecting a repeat performance; this one is not a repeat. That said, the fact that it goes in a completely different direction is what allows it to stand on its own. You are given a recap at the beginning and a few references are made to it throughout, but overall those references aren't integral to understanding what is going on, so it fulfills the first goal of a sequel. It does have a few drawbacks though; there are quite a few obvious continuity errors. They are so blatant that I th ought maybe they were inserted on purpose, but these aren't really highlighted, so I m not sure if I'm seeing sloppy filmmaking or sneaky little gags in reference to older movies with similar eirors. So on one hand the storytelling is remarkably smart and conscious of its inspirations, and on the other hand some glaring continuity flaws break some of the suspension of disbelief. The balance equals out to about an eight out of ten. Did You Know...

By Jim Burzelic Directed by Jonathan Hensleigh (The Saint, Jumanji) and starring Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea, Dreamcatcher), Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (X-Men, Godsend), and John Travolta (Swordfish, Basic). Frank Castle is a secret agent who has just retired to a desk job and is looking forward to spending time with his family. Unfortunately, Howard Saint's son was accidentally killed in Castle's last mission so, being the crime family they are, the Saints' kill off the entire Castle lineage. Thinking Frank Castle dead, they went back to their lives. Castle survived though and returns to Tampa Bay not to exact revenge, because he considers his old self dead, but to punish the guilty as the Punisher. To put it bluntly. The Punisher is punishment. Punishment for the audience. Punishment for the actors. Punishment for the franchise. Punishment for the projector that had to show it. No one escaped. It's really sad actually because all it really had to do was deliver bloody, violent action and get the audience to the next fight scene as quickly as possible. Instead it tries to be smart and needlessly utilizes a religious theme that it only sloppily mentions once in a while. The actors all show signs that they are really good but the script they were given was just awful, and the final punishment is ruined by a silly skull. However, if you are looking to laugh at the absurdities of a bad movie, then The Punisher will deliver. This one a 3 out of 10. SMART SAVINGS!

That's your only Revenge of the Black Mamba: An Allegory Written By Bill J, Turner Edited By Tess Tobon Chapter VI of VI The rookie screamed, "Sarge, Sarge, help me, do something, get him off me! Make it let go!" Sarge took two steps toward the bag, as he drew his service revolver and emptied it into the snake and the backpack. The snake let go of the rookie's wrist, and Sarge pulled the young rookie over to the squad and called 911. He called dispatch for backup. Meanwhile, the Black Mamba crawled out of the pack and was moving slowly towards the weeds. Malcolm was now in disbelief, hi plans and hopes for the future dashed.

Let's face it — People driving behind you need to know that you question reality and want to the police not taking him to the zoo?" he thought. "Where is the snake? Why did they let that magnificent specimen of a creature get out of the backpack?" Backup arrived and the patrol Sergeant quickly took stock of the situation and took charge. "Sarge, get rid of that ole snake. Throw that dead carcass over in the weeds." As the backup police suggested, Sarge took a step or two over where the seemingly dead snake lay in the grass, where it had crawled after Sarge fired six rounds into its dark green avocado colored body, while it was still in th e pack. Sarge reached down, thinking the snake was fully dead, grabbed it by the midsection— as he was about to fling it over into the high grass, the Mamba's head turned quickly and struck him on the forearm. It dug its teeth into Sarge's arm, releasing a deadly amount of venom directly into his bloodstream. He screamed with alarm and pain. He was a goner and he knew it. The Sarge staggered and fell to his knees as if shot in the back. Within seconds his eyes glazed over and with agonizing pain, his life paraded before his eyes, recognizing the many misdeeds that he had perpetrated, or had been a part of. He became very weak and fell forward, collapsing in the grass near the bike path crossing Durand Avenue. "Call an ambulance," says backup. "Let's remove these officers from the scene." He turns to the biker, "What the hell you doin' with a snake like that? You murderer. Cuff him and throw him in the back of the wagon." As the handcuffs were placed on Malcolm's wrists, his head was swirling. He was weak at the knees, nauseous, and felt faint. He couldn't figure out what was happening; where was the herpetologist? What were they thinking? Did they not know of the potential danger to the entire community near the bike path and the horse farm? "Come on bub, duck your head. Duck your head and sit down. Call it in," the officer says to his partner. "Dispatch, squad twenty-two calling, do you read me? Two officers down, snake bite, presumed dead. Offender apprehended, bringing him in." As the squad car pulled away, hauling the student biker to jail, dispirited and almost in a state of shock, he thought back to the beginning of this disastrous afternoon. Now as the dying Black Mamba lay there in the grass, thirteen hatchling snakes slithered around in a ground hog burrow. They would soon be out foraging for food on their own, growing to maturity and eventually seeking mates—expanding their population far beyond the horse farm.

Studey apprenticed for four years and interned for two under the close supervision of an experi- enced midwife. She has her certi- fication with the Midwife Guild. Although midwifery has been practiced in Wisconsin for fifteen years, there is no state certification and is even considered a felony in certain states, incJuding Illinois. However, in many states including Wisconsin and California, mid- wifery is legal, complete with hos- pital privileges as necessary. The word midwife means "with woman," and Studey and other midwives across the country are dedicated to taking the fear and mystery out of a perfectly natural phenomenon. Shehelpsgivefami- lies control over the birthing expe- ricnce and enlightens people con- cerning unnecessary hospital pro- cedures that could prove traumatic to both mother and infant. Complimenting Studey's dis- Tal'll Hay News Writer cussion was Vicky Talbcn's pre- sentation on practical nursing. Nurse practitioners are certified by the state and work under the umbrella of a physician, or serve is clinics, schools, and even the military. Talbert's area of exper- tise in pediatric nursing. According to Talbert, pedi- atric nurse practitioners work with families and educate young moth- ers about health and nutrition, as well as making necessary arrange- ments and referrals with state agencies and physicians. Practical nursing came about as a result of the shortage of doc- tors in economically deprived ar- eas, and many practical nurses work with the poor, promoting well ness, counseling on family behavioral problems, nutrition, safety, and in some cases. just helping families meet the most basic needs, such as shelter.

A large part of the ac· tion in Hodgson'S act comes from the props that he bas made and designed himself. Hodgson boasts, "I have the world's only Braille bumper sticker, electric bag· pipes. and a prop that cranks my head around in 360 de· grees." With his head on straight: Hodgson was able to come up with a story line that bas landed him the lead role in his new HBO Comedy Chan· nel program. HBO purchased from Hodgson his comedy shoW idea that wlll be going on the air this fall. The name of the program is "Mystery Science Theater 3000''. Joel Hodgson comes from a small town In Wisconsin called Fort Alklnson which Is near Madison. He was raised in Green Bay and went to col· lege in Minnesota. Minnesota Is where 'Hodgson got his start in comedy. He landed his first comedy job whlle he was a junior In college at the age of 21 at the Comedy cabaret in Minneap· olis. Through Hodgson's first dip Into the limelight only lasted five minutes. the owner liked him and suggest. ed that he return. This was the beginnlng to bigger and better things. Since his first five minute glimpse at star- dom. Hodgson has performed at such clubs as The Improv in Los Angeles. The Magic casUe In Hollywood, and The Comedy Store which Is also in Los Angeles, "Joel is multi·faceted indi- vidual. He's a writer, inven· tor, and he helps other per- formers," said Hodgson'S agent Steve Benz. Hodgson does not directly credit anyone performer with giving him the Itch to join In, however he did in- clude Jonathon Winters George Carlin. and Andy Kaufman in the list of stars that mostly affected him when he was younger._ "1 always performed," said Hodgson. "I did magic tricks and juggling acts. 1 had always been Interested In It (comedy)." Parkside stu· dents and faculty wlll be able to see Hodgson shine in the "It ("Mystery Science Theatre 3000") is about a janitor who accidently gets shot into outer space by two evil scientists. He (janltor) Is then forced to watch bad science fiction movies with his robots that he bUut from his space ship," said Hodg- son. The production and shoot· ing of "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" will be done by Hodgson and one of his col~ leagues. Production will begin right after Hodgson finishes his week·long tour of several other college cam- puses. production of Mystery Science Theatre SOOOwill be based out of Minneapolis where the show had already been aired a year ago: Hodg· Joel Hod9son son has also invented toys such as the Grab Bag, but as of yet he has seen no profit from the endeavors. Whether It be profits or laughs that a comedian yeams for, Hodgson advises that time Is the most impor· ~t factor to getting there. If people think you're funny, and your friend's tell you you're fuIUly that's a good sign. Spend a lot of time ?on stage." Hodgson said. Most people think there is a quick method, but the best Is to spend as much time up on stage as possible and get used to it."
