The Ranger News has meetings every Friday at noon. All students and faculty of UW-Parkside are welcome. Please feel free to attend. Have any comments, concerns, questions, or story ideas? Please e-mail us at: rangernews@uwp.edu . We are located at Wyllie D139C Each person may take one newspaper per issue date. Extra newspapers can be purchased for $1 apiece. Newspapers can be taken on a first come, first serve basis, meaning that once they are gone, they are gone. We work on the honor system, but violators will be prosecuted for theft. Faculty members and students organizations who wish to use The Ranger News in classrooms should consult the editor-in-chief to reserve however many free copies they wish to use. ASSOC I ATI-O Well, once again, the newspapers weren't here until Wednesday. Once again, Hometown Publishing's equipment broke down. Quite often, I hear about newspapers going under. I can't help but wonder if equipment that is in poor repair is part of that problem. In fall I will miss having that fresh hard copy every week. It'll be really nice to not have to worry about broken down equipment, though, in addition to all the other opportunities online publishing will be bringing us. Registering for classes begins soon, so I'll take the rest of this paragraph to remind everyone that we offer internships here at The Ranger News. We do not publish during summer, so there are no summer internships. However, come fall (or spring, but we'd love to have you all year!) we'd be more than happy to have you as part of our staff. We offer internships for reporters, photographers, and designers. There is some rather simple paperwork to be done, and that's it! We do ask for samples of your work much like other jobs might, but we don't make you sit through interviews or try and have you be someone you're not. Everyone has ai different perspective on life and something different to bring to The Ranger News, so we try to accept as many interns as we can.

If you have good writing skills and enjoy writing about our campus, stop on by for an application. If your skills are stronger in the photography field, same thing! There is never such a thing as too many photographers—sometimes they pick up the work when we're short on reporters. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? The more we can photograph and write about, the more the student body (ie: you) gets to learn about what's going on at Parkside. If you ever catch an error in an article, or have a question about something you read, we'd love to hear about it and .try and help you. We're in the information business, so making sure you have accurate and timely information is our biggest goal. Again, email us at rangernews@ gmail.com if you have questions or concerns. You're also welcome to email the reporter directly— that's why we include their email as part of the byline! I'll stop here for now; I think I've spoken enough about working for The Ranger News.

UJJJJRE SAMANIH ASCHM ALING scma005@rangers.uwp.edu Zeta Sigma Chi, a multicultural sorority here at UW-Parkside, held auditions March 26, 27, and 28 in the Spruce Room for an upcoming event they are hosting. The event they are presenting is called Take It 2 The Stage, which is a talent showcase. The sorority started this Take it to the v/pnt .1 event because they recognized that children need a positive role model, and someone to look up to and inspire to be. They encouraged organizations and groups on campus to come out and audition. The sorority felt that "their presence in the showcase would be an opportunity for younger school students to see what success could look like when a person is determined." The auditions were .^EglLJO—UWiParkside students and community grade school and high school students. The event is an opportunity for "talented individuals and groups to display the phenomena as to what makes them so great." Everyone that attended the auditions will be featured in the showcase. The group CHAOS will also be performing at the intermission of the event. The cost of auditioning was $10, and Zeta Sigma Chi chapter president Re.sha p;w said that there was a great turnout. She also said that there was amazing talent. There will be a cash grand prize for the individual or group that out shines the rest of the talent and takes the spot light. Talent that will be featured includes: gospel, dance, a rap group, poetry, and multiple singers. Riser said that during the auditions they were looking for a lot of diversity and welcomed different talents. -This, is the first year that the talent show is being held at UW-Parkside. Riser said that hopefully the event would keep continuing year after year. She said that its continuance will be based on attendance and popularity of the event. The showcase will be held on Thursday, Apri 19 at 7p.m. in Main Place on campus. It is open to both students and the public. Recession. Recover SAMANTHA SCHMALING scma005@rangers.uwp.edu On Monday, March 30, the Soup and Series presented "Bubble. Recession. Recovery," which featured guest speaker Marcelo Milan, an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department. He presented a slideshow called "The US Economy: Bubble, Crisis, and Recovery." The presentation included information about the stimulus package, the housing problem, "unemployment rates, and declining income and spending. The United States is currently in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The country also had the worst fourth quarter in 2008 since the 1930's and the second worst bear market from 1929-2009. Home appreciation rates also displayed negative numbers in the fourth quarter. Milan defined the bubble as being "a rapid and artificial increase in the price of assets (above reasonable levels)." Milan gave examples of bubbles being the dot com bubble and the housing bubble. Milan explained that bubbles exist because people buy things at increased prices and then hope that others will buy them for a greater amount. The aftermath of the bubble's bursts include depressed asset prices, prolonged periods of joblessness, economic stagnation, increased government debt, and an impaired banking and financial system. A major consequence of the current economy has been job loss. The unemployment rate has climbed from 7.2% to 7.6% in the past month. More than 4 million jobs have been lost since the economic crisis, there have been massive number of layoffs, and jobless claims have soared. Even in the current crisis, hourly wage has increased, and there have also been productivity gains. Other consequences of the current economy have been major increases in loan losses for banks, rapid decline of business loans shrinking (in commercial banks), consumer confidence has plummeted, people aren't spending as much, and they are saving more, there are depressing vehicle sales, and investments are also collapsing. How does the current economy affect us as students? In Milan's terms, "education pays." The correlation between the amount of schooling a person has and the job market is positive. The more education a student has under her belt, and the more degrees she hold shows, the more she will earn more, have more employment opportunities, ana be less likely to be unemployed. Milan assured everyone at the end of the presentation that, as the history record shows, there is good news ahead. Recessions and depressions end at some point. How long they last depends on how the economy will respond to the fiscal stimulus and the FED's monetary policy. 40th" Juried Student Show Underway JOSHUA BRADLEY Joshua Bradlex! 1 a xahoo.com nrninniuiiinryn.mil Village International Living & Learning Community 2009-2010 Does the idea of trying new food, learning a new dance, speaking another language or talking about global issues intrigue you?

However, what I cannot accept is how this same establishment is willing to compromise its integrity if there is the potential for significant financial gain. The focus of this assessment is tobacco; a legal consumer good that not only has no health benefits, but can be very harmful. Now, if it's government's objective to keep us safe, someone has some explaining to do. Nicotine is certainly a drug, and tobacco has more chemicals than a science lab. Please forgive my sarcasm. The last time I checked, people in America were dying at an alarming rate every year as a result of complications from lung and other cancers that are a product of cigarette smoke. Many of these individuals never smoked; they are victims of second-hand smoke. My mother died from the effects of lung cancer. Of course, she made the conscious decision to smoke for many years. She knew the dangers of what she was putting into her body. To her credit, she never felt sorry for herself, even as the cancer was taking her life. I must emphasize that this is not an anti-smoking campaign. It is an indictment of politicians for trying to convince us that they have our best interests Is the shoe deadlier than the bomb? RYANASHTON ashton001@uwp.edu Last month Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, well-known for throwing his shoes at former President George W. Bush last December during a press conference, was sentenced to three years in prison for his "crime." Mr. Zeidi was charged with aggression against a visiting head of state, and there was reportedly heavy protest from the Iraqi public after the verdict was read. According to a New York Times article, there were supporters chanting "hero" outside the Iraqi court house, and a statue of a large shoe was erected north of Baghdad to honor Mr. Zaidi; however the Iraqi Parliament ordered the statue dismantled. I think this case of presidential "shoeing" is a great example of how upside-down some conceptions of "justice" can be; and, given that our President was both the impetus and the target of those volatile projectiles, it tells us something about our country's values as well. On the one hand, you have the President of a nation that had waged, and had continued to wage, an immensely violent war of aggression on another country's land appearing, in person, within that country's borders (albeit in a "green zone" heavily guarded by the president's own soldiers) to speak as if all the resultant death and destruction was ultimately "good" for those living in the war zone. This is a man whose moral code permitted him to authorize the use of military force (including a massive bombing campaign meant to elicit psychological "shock" and "awe") against a sovereign population of people without that population's consent (nor much of the world's consent for that matter). This man, the one who has untold thousands of bodies lying in his wake, is considered, to the present day, to have been acting justly throughout his military campaign and thus has remained free of formal punishment. Yet, on the other hand, you have a man who has lived the reality of a war-tom nation first-hand; who has no army or bodyguards to do his bidding; who has felt the weight of a foreign President's policies on he and his family's psyches; who has utilized his shoes as his means of "shock" and "awe"— it is this man that the Iraqi justice system (which, one might say, is strongly influenced by the U.S.'s "restructuring" efforts) deemed fit for punishment. It is the man whose actions resulted in no death or injury; the man whose actions were motivated by compassion for those harmed by the brutal violence; the man whose actions earned the sanction of the citizens of Iraq, who spoke on their behalf—it is this man who is deemed morally inferior, and thus sentenced to prison by the prevailing moral code. The man who used bombs and guns to negotiate his terms is, in the eyes of this perverse moral system, the moral superior and thus remains free of prison (and worthy of a President's "retirement" package nonetheless). This is the morality of not only the Iraqi "justice" system, but, it is sad to say, also the morality of the government who had recognized George W. Bush as their President—the government who sanctioned his policies. Under this kind of moral system, bombs and guns are benign, whereas rubber and leather are lethal. But, perhaps, it is not a matter of what one actually does that defines the moral correctness of their actions, but rather who one is while doing it—a sort of moral elitism. Since Mr. Zeidi was a civilian, a reporter, a "nobody," his actions, no matter what they happened to be, were simply predisposed to moral wrongness, and thus were easy to punish. Mr. Bush, however, as a President, as a Commander in Chief, as an elite; well, he's simply immune from moral wrongness due to his elevated social status. So long as morality is defined by status, then those of elite social status will always be morally superior to those of negligible social status. This is supposedly "justice." This is also why it is utter bullshit. Proud to be a Ranger TERRY TYNAN tynan001@uwp.edu I've lived in Keposha, off and on, since 1991. Gradually it became more "on" than "off' and for the last several years it is totally "on." My wife gets upset when I refer to her beloved hometown as Chicago's finest North Shore suburb. Believe me, I mean no disrespect. After all, the North Shore is a beautiful place with stately mansions housing some of America's wealthiest and most influential citizens. Regardless, I am very content living in the "City For All Seasons." For anyone who is retired, but doesn't really want to be, this is the place to live.. The enviable advantage of conveniently lying between two major cultural centers is a given. Concerts, church festivals, sports events, museums; and lake activities are here in abundance. I happen to love the trolley rides for a quarter. Friendly people and great Italian food are equally appreciated. Four months ago .1 made a startling, life changing discovery just a five minute ride from our cottage. I have always been aware of the existence of the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. For instance, I knew that the Northwestern University football team held summer camp there and that the foreign film program was an entertainment bargain. What I just learned, though, was that a state resident over 60 years old could audit up to two courses per semester- tuition free. No credits, but, at my age, who cares. I got 120 of those over 50 years ago in Madison. Now, it is solely for the fun of learning. Computer Science 105 and World History 126, taught by Tim Knautz and Nat Godley, respectively, are awesome. (See, 1 am even picking up the lingo) "Thanks, gentlemen for letting me feel like part of the class and for not making me take exams or turn in assignments." Talk about your "having it both ways." Besides attending classes twice a week, I am enjoying an endless parade of activities and entertainment, such as: great music and theater, exciting athletic events, discussion groups, lectures and exhibits, all provided in a state-of theart environment. I am, now a member of PASA (Parkside Adult Student Alliance). I am the most 'adult' person there by decades. I overheard my wife telling one of her friends that I had joined a fraternity. I did, ultimately, in mind. On the contrary, this is more an issue of economics. To put it bluntly, the government makes a ridiculous amount of money from the tobacco industry. Prices tend to fluctuate for a lot of consumer goods, even gasoline. However, any time the cost of cigarettes changes significantly, it is because the price is going up. If the government didn't make so much money tobacco would be illegal. Consequently, we would hear politicians talking about keeping us safe and improving our overall health by reducing the number of tobacco-related cancers However, you will hear none of this any time soon because tobacco will remain legal Have you ever wondered why politicians won't even address this issue? Personally, It doesn't matter to me if it's legal or not. The tobacco farmers admit that the product they grow is a source of profit. Why can't others do the same? Again, let's keep it real. Dear Man ANDREA GLEASON andrearoseg@ hot mail .com Dear Man, No offense intended kind sir, but I do not desire to be you. On the contrary, I am proud to be quite different. This current movement of modeling your clothing and your mannerisms has been pushed upon me by society for far too long. 'Tis a pity that your foul mouth has infested mine, and that it has become acceptable for me to utter such filth in the presence of others. We have strayed from our feminine ways of modesty, reserved nature, and politeness, exchanging these for provocative attire, brashness, and ill manners. Often such motives are to appeal to your unbridled masculine desires, and in doing so I am losing my identity as a unique and respectable sex. I have been fooled-into believing your wants should be mine as well. I have rejected such beautiful and intricate attire for fear of appearing weak or unattractive beside you. My fight for equality has become a fight for the right to imitate and please. In my struggle for equal dignity, confusion has occurred, making it a struggle for your ambitions and manly qualities, or often to appease them, and even you have forgotten who I am. I have received what the so-called "feminists" of my sex have asked for: I open my own door, walk in behind you, pull up my own chair, and pay for my own meal. In our blindness for more power rather than equality, my innate qualities have been underappreciated. Delicacy does not imply a lack of strength, and displaying my emotions does not mean I lack the ability to be logical. In envying your qualities, I have forgotten to value my own such as my nurturing nature, sensitivity, and compassion. In lowering my standards, I have equally lowered yours. For this I apologize and promise to work to regain the respect and dignity those in the past have worked so hard for. I only ask that you help me in this fight by supporting my right to be equal in dignity and rights with a role distinct from your own. I now realize that just because I now have the right to act like you, does not mean I should. I desire, not to be treated like your fellowmen, but rather as your compliment and counterpart, whose qualities although quite different, are just as valued. Sincerely, Woman correct her. When I told her I was considering spending spring break in Key West with my fellow students she said I should stay there. I have a Ranger ID card with my picture on it, a parking permit and a student e-mail address. Someone even suggested I run for a Student Government office, which would be a bit of a stretch. Yesterday, I bought a Parkside cap for 15 bucks from the bookstore. This bustling enterprise has collected quite a little of my discretionary funds because, while the courses are free, the text books and supplies, emphatically, are not. I meet several new people every day, many from distant lands with diverse cultures. I was even invited to join the "International Club—I guess being a native Chicagoan qualifies me. Did I happen to mention that Parkside is absolutely the friendliest place I have ever been in my life? People actually smile at me in passing. Everyone is helpful and friendly, whether they be faculty, administration, service, or, best of all, students. Ah! the students. Like many of my peers I was becoming deeply concerned about our country's future being placed in the hands of pampered, selfish, thoughtless, rude and, yes, poorly educated young people. Now, after observing and conversing with UW-P students on a daily basis, I have to say,' without reservation, I am not only confident about our future... I am truly excited about it. Just one regret, tho'ugh- -I could have started all this fifteen years ago. OPINION PAGE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submission Suggestions.

Several members competed at the Raleigh Relays hosted by North Carolina State University, and the remainder of the squad competed at Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee, WI. The distance athletes competed in a 60-degree rainstorm on Friday night. Ben Orvold ran a lifetime best 31:27 10,000m. This time was good enough for 16"' place and 11th among collegiate athletes. Rehan Mahmood followed not too far behind Orvold, also running a lifetime best 32:16. He was the 2lst place finisher, and 16lh among all collegiate athletes. Mahmood ran a very even-tempo race; both 5,000m splits were 16:08. In \ the women's 10,000m, sophomore Heidi Ertl competed for the first time ever at this distance. She ran a time of 38:07, which notched her 14"' overall and 12"' against collegiate competitors. Senior Jessica Monson ran her first-ever outdoor 5,000m event. Monson finished 6lh overall and 3rd among collegiate competition. Her 16:40 finishing time is not only a new school record, but also a 20-second personal best and an NCAA DII Outdoor Nationals automatic qualifying time. On Saturday morning, at NC State, up and coming freshmen star Hope Christie finished 2nd out of 82 competitors in the unseeded section of the 1500M. Her time of 4:39 missed NCAA DII provisional qualifying by just over one second. Her 4:39 1500m time converts to a 4:59 1 Mile time, which is a 16 second In Photos lifetime best. Brittany Glassburn also turned in a big lifetime best mark of 4:56, 11. seconds faster than her best time outdoor last year. Miranda Melville competed in the 5,000m race-walk competition, where she blew away her competition. She competed in a male/female mixed field and came victorious by over 2.5 minutes. Her time of 25:07 is a 35+ second personal best. In the men's 1500m, Dustin Baldwin and LaQuan Fenderson competed in lifetime best form. Baldwin's time of 4:04.5 just misses his lifetime best of 4:04.3 and Fenderson competed in the 1500m for the second time in his young career. He ran eight seconds faster than the week previous, bringing home a 4:11 finishing time. The Ranger runners finished the day with a pair of 4x800m relay events. The women finished 16lh out of 22 teams with a time of 9:36.2. This time ranks top ten all-time at UW-Parkside. Monson had the fastest split of 2:15. On the men's side, the Ranger half-milers turned in a relay time of 8:08, slightly off of the team goal time. Rob Hansen carried the fastest split of the relay notching a season best 1:57.0. At Wisconsin Lutheran, the Rangers' split squad battled tough through the elements. They faced temperatures of 33 degrees and dropping throughout the meet. They were threatened with snow showers, which held off throughout most of the event, yet still endured constant winds of 25 miles per hour and gusts as high as 45 miles per hour. Sophomores Bryan McLoone and Bert Meyers ran season best times of 4:21 and 4:22 in the 1500m. Jennie tpndt and Whitney Olson turned in ,a pair of top* performances, crossing the finish line in 5:12 and 5:15, respectively, in the 1500m. In the 5,000m run, the Rangers each finished near the front of their races, but their times were noticeably affected by the elements. Jacob Buddell and Matt Vidas notched a pair of top five finishes. Buddell finished the 5,000m race in 16:45 and Vidas in 17:15. Angie Adams was the top Parkside women's performer, turning in a time of 19:45. Alex Mena dominated the 800m run scoring a 6 second victory This weekend the Rangers will travel to Elmhurst College, which is located just past O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, 111. The following week several Rangers will be flying out to Bucknell University near Pittsburg, Penn.

Monson: Great cross country career closes ROB HANSEN Hanse082@uwp.edu On Saturday Nov. 22, 2008, Jessica Monson capped off an amazing cross country career at the University of WisconsinParkside with a fifth place finish at the NCAA II National Championship cross country meet held Slippery Rock, Penn. Temperatures dwindled in the lower 30s and snow covered a fair amount of the 6,000 meter course which Monson covered in 21:38. The winner was Jessica Pixler, a junior from Seattle Pacific with a time of 20:59. Monson commented that some areas of the course had been plowed, yet others had nearly in inch of snow on it. Jessica's fifth place finish is among only a handful of topfive finishes at nationals for the UW-Parkside women runners. This finish earned Monson, her third cross country All-American award. She also has five more Ail-American awards between indoor and outdoor track and field. Monson stayed off of the early pace which was set but Pixler, and came through the mile in 15th place or so. Her mile split was 5:59, which is considerably slower than what Monson was used to: "There was a monstrosity of a hill at the 400 meter mark, and it f elt as if I was walking up it." By the 5,000 meter mark Jessica had moved into fifth position where she worked desperately to reel in the front four. She managed to catch the fourth place female, Heather Wood of Adams State, but did not have enough to get around her. "This has been the most gratfying feat for me definitely. 1 n ever would have thought that 1 cou ld place fifth at the national meet from where I started as a freshmen. Cross Country has always been more of a challenge for me more than track has," said the 2nd place 1500 meter runner from last year's outdoor NCAA II meet and multiple time 800 meter All American. The Ranger News asked Monson to reflect back upon her cross country career and her track career to this point. She told us that her sophomore year Distance Medley Relay 2nd place finish in Boston, MA at the NCAA II indoor championship meet was her fondest memory; "...it is so rewarding to be successful with a team that you've been training with for a long period of time, it was amazing to share such a success with other hardworking individuals (Naomi Fulton, Valerie Kelly and Jill Winkler, all graduated)." This year was one of only a handful of years that the UWParkside women did not qualify as a team for NCAA II National Meet. Monson expressed her disappointment in her team not qualifying; "Cross country is a team sport, and nationals are a great place to compete, I wished I could have shared the experience with them." Monson expressed how hard-working her teammates are, and that they really deserved the opportunity to be there as well. The team's number one goal for next year is to right the ship and get back to the NCAA II meet. For now, Monson will focus solely on indoor track. She has an ultimate outcome goal of being the first UW-Parkside woman to run under 4:40 in the mile. This feat would land her near the top of the nation in the DII meet, and even very near the top of the NCAA DI elites. "With the right training and the right focus I am confident that I will attain each of my goals. My Coach is fantastic, there is no one who knows running better than he does, so 1 feel certain that my goals are within reach." Monson admits she has her work cut out for her, but with the whole UW-Parkside crowd behind her, nothing can stop her. As for a post-collegiate career for Monson, she is unsure of any exacts. "I will still be running, and training, and competing, but I am not sure of anything other than that, I am focused solely on this indoor season right now." She will be graduating in May with a nursing degree from Parkside and looking for a position in that field, which will allow her to train and compete on a full-time basis. When The Ranger News asked Monson if she believed the recent hype considering her the greatest runner at UW-Parkside history she said, "There are many great runners that have come before her, runners that have accomplished as much and sometimes more than 1 have." Monson said she simply gives her best and that s all a person can do. Monson would like to attribute her success to several sources. She attributes much of her success to God for having given her the ability to run and compete. In addition she mentioned her Coach, with whom she'd be lost without. Also, she is thankful for her family for all of the support they have given; "They are at almost every meet, and there are countless instances where someone rides a bike next to me to keep me company, especially on a long day. She also made mention of her teammates throughout the years. "Without their encouragement, I could have achieved very little." With one more indoor and one more outdoor season of track and field, Monson, having already achieved so much, still have a lot to accomplish. Her extreme focus and dedication have her primed to close out her UW-Parkside running career very successfully.

JustMePerrine@AOL.com 262-654-1769 (Office) ARTS CUJJURE The Ranger News December 2, 2008 heartbreak/ age/ to a circus JOE DIEFENBACH diefeOOl @uwp.edu You know it is the last quarter of the year when three of pop music's biggest stars try to leave a lasting impact on 2008. Kanye West, The Killers, and Britney Spears are striving for domination ot the charts and your attention. Kanye West takes his diehard fans on a rollercoaster of a ride with his experimental side on 808s & Heartbreak. The usually arrogant rapper takes a woeful approach to his new project, after the devastating experiences of his mother's deadly plastic surgery and breakup with his fiancee. In addition to Kanye's therapeutic writing influences, he takes a blind stab at singing with the help of Auto-Tune, a recording technology made to cover-up In Photos mistakes. 808s & Heartbreak's, first two singles, "Heartless" and "Love Lockdown", are successful with the Auto-Tune. Both are poignant tunes wrapped in heartache getting help from the powerful Roland TR-808 drum machine, after half the album is named. The drum effect is like candy to the ear, with the tribal beats ringing its sweet melody. The song that resonated the most with me was "Welcome To Heartbreak", an intament discussion of things that everyone would want (kids, marriage), but happen to slip away and the realization that success mixed with fame is not what as good as it looks. 808s & Heartbreak, may disappoint those who expect the same radio-friendly, repetitive music that Kanye has presented in the past. But to those open will enjoy this portrait of pain and well crafted artistry. Moving on from heartache to playful rock, Vegas-natives The Killers are back with their third album Day & Age evolving with a new-wave flavor, but never abandoning their rock roots. You can definitely hear The Killers with their ringing anthems paying major omige to their great predecessors such as: Queen, David Bowie, Elton John and New Order. With the lead single, "Human", it c aptures a thumping energy; its electronic edge isn't suffocating, but is lighthearted and rollicking. Lead singer, Brandon Flowers described the song the best with his interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, "Johnny Cash meets the Pet Shop Boys". Day & Age is by far a great progression for the band well on their way on being one of the best rock bands of our time. With the songs like "Neon Tiger", "A Dustland Fairytale" and "This Is Your Life" are cherries on top of a luscious line-up of alternative goodness. When you think about Britney Spears, come on you can admit it, you cannot deny that her life is nothing short of a wild Circus, a fitting title for her sixth studio effort. We all know the headlines of her divorce, mental capacity and children. And you would think after being under the hellish glare of the media spotlight she would want to address her issues upfront, unfortunately she barely touches on the tough subjects. One exception is "Out from Under", which expresses the rawness of her pain with vague lyrics like: "..and part of me still believes when you say you're gonna stick around and part of me still believes we can find a way to work it out". Why not just scream his name with expletives all around it? The rest of Circus is back to the pop basics, lots of glitz and an insufficient amount of substance. The fact is that Britney seems less of a ring leader and more of a marionette puppet, with her strings being pulled for her. Despite that minor pitfall, the album is a collage of mediocre dance songs, with the most impactful hits being "Kill The Lights" and "Unusual You" , both produced by Timbaland protege, Danja. If there is a lack of talent, what is there to be entertained by? .Talentilialit 11.28.2008 Four man troop RACHEL DE LEO N eliteleona@yahoo.<om Room D118 was crowded with an energetic audience. Both the youthful and the elderly wiggled excitedly in their seats for the performance that was about to take place. David Bayles, the director of the featured program introduced the upcoming song and mentioned that he himself would be one of the performers. As three other men joined Mr. Bayles, everyone eagerly awaited the interesting percussion instruments that silently stood before them. "Temptation Revamp" was performed first and was arranged by the University of Wisconsin . Parkside's Percussion Ensemble. ; - Thi's required the drums; played by Mr. Bayles; the xylpphone, played by Matt Tatlock; and the marimba, played by both Adam Gerlach and Paul Westfahl. It was a bouncy, upbeat introduction for these instruments, some of which I h aven't heard since I was a kid. To hear the xylophone again made me smile and think back to when I had a smaller model as a little child. Next came a solo act done by Mr. Westfahl and the vibraphone. The song was titled "Music of the Day", but the second that the vibraphone was struck, I instantly felt as if I was in a dream world. The texture of the notes was thick and mellow; everyone in the room seemed to chill out in their seats. Like a pebble hitting a pond, the song would have a single high pitch note, then elongated ripples of gentle notes would tremor afterwards. Yet one particular performance exploded forth and racked everyone's minds. It was the song, "Trio Per Uno" composed by Nebojsa Jovan Zivkovic and it already appeared to be a special composition since Mr. Bayles explained how the song would be played. As the title states, there are three separate pieces combined into one; these are called "movements" and that each movement is completely different from the last. While Mr. Bayles was talking, the audience began to perk up in their seats as a giant drum was brought into the center of the room. The first movement began with the "bumbum-bum" of the bass drum as Mr. Westfahl, Mr. Tatlock, and'' Mr. Gerlach each took a pair of huge sticks and pummeled in an aggressive manner. The style of drumming was Kodo: the Japanese style of drumming. Many would be familiar with this style since it is known as "the drums of war", sedn in multiple fantasy and samurai movies whenever an epic battle scene appeared. Instantly, the crowd was captivated by the warlike rhythm and some even bobbed their heads to the beat. Attached to the colossal drum were the dwarfed bongos and cymbal gongs that were placed in front of each man. As the song progressed, the rhythm grew more complex and intense as each percussionist switched from bass drum to bongos to gongs within seconds. Their arms were mere blurs as they continued with the intensity of a thousand warhorses rampaging down the countryside. Then without warning, the song abruptly ended with a final harsh blow upon the bass drum. The audience went wild with applause and cheers as the three percussionists bowed. With such an intense first movement, the second gave time for the musicians to rest their burning arms. Movement Two was a tranquil aftermath of a fierce battle. The soothing tones of the vibraphones made a solemn comeback while chimes, cymbals, and the rain stick chimed in. Movement Three was a trinity of union and division. This time the three percussionists had their own separate snare drums and tomtoms, but they still performed as it they were sharing the same instrument. With the same ferocity as the first movement, the third one had a primal aspect to it; along with drumming rapidly, each man let out a yell, of which the other two would echo back. At the end, the entire four man percussion troop joined forces and played another poppy song. What was interesting was that as the song drew closer/to ending, the rhythm increased in speed. As the Percussion Ensemble finished they were met with a standing ovation by most and uproarious clapping. RANGERS SUFFER OVERTIME LOSS SAM ANDERSON ander253@uwp.edu The Rangers were leading with °nly 34 minutes left in regulation before the Robert Morris Eagles came back. This was a non conference game played at Loyola University in Chicago. The Rangers t ied it up thanks to Amy Selk's ljunSp shot that sent the game into an overtime* This was just one of Selk's 14 points o n the game. The shot was not a moment t oo soon as the Rangers needed 'he basket to stay in the game and try to resurrect t heir once obvious lead. Brittany Bever was the high scorer tor the Rangers in this game with her 15 points and Katie Weiglein fouled ou t, but not before rebounding 11 shots. Bie rebounds, though helpful, were lot enough to counter the Ranger's 33 '"movers and the Eagle's 29 points that were scored due to those turnovers. Weiglein also managed an assist, a steal, and a block in the game. Two free throws turned out to be the deciding factor in the game, however, as the Eagles sealed the 71-69 victory by sinking both with only one second left on the clock. This was a stunning upset as Amanda Gibson gave the Rangers a glimmer of hope by landing a three point shot just 3 seconds prior to the forced free, throws to tie up the game, it was an impressive effort, as the Rangers only made'6 .of their 13 3-point attempts and managed 26 of their 62 shots on the basket Robert Morris only managed 5 of their 26 3- point attempts and an even less impressive 22 of their 66 shots were completed. The Rangers' first home game will be held Thursday, December 4th versus Kentucky Wesylan and will be their first Great Lakes Valley Conference game of the year. 6 The Ranger News December 2, 20QA .

CODY G. HOIDEN ydo<nedloh@yahoo.<om A week ago I posted an article halfheartedly r anting about the raucous crowds show up to retailers on Black Friday and the frustrations that retail employees deal with throughout the year. I came home from work this past Friday and turned on television only to discover that the article did have some truth to it after all. A Val-Mart employee from Queens, NY was trampled to death by a group of stampeding customers trying to get their hands on $400 Hat screen television sets and $69 digital ameras. These door buster sales lived up to their name as some two-thousand customers literally k nocked down the entrance doors )f the Wal-Mart, stepping over the man who hey kil led while pushing other employees out of the way who tried to help him. In order to a fford all of those great sale items; these customers choose to sell their souls in lieu of being decent human beings. I would truly hate to be the recipient of me of those $9 DVDs that was purchased only moments after its buyer stepped over i employee's lifeless body just to beat the rash of the customers behind them. It's like receiving drug money in a birthday card; nice I gesture, but it isn't clean. Perhaps some of those buyers went home and decided to give that 50-inch screen television set to their son I or daughter e arly. Maybe they came home ad plugged it in early enough to see the tiagedy that unfolded right under their feet. For them, Christmas is now saved because they got this wonderful deal on a television set the whole family can enjoy. They should be thankful they are able to go home to their families, as Jdimytai Damour, the Wal-Mart employee from Queens, can not. According to a police report, a 28-year old pregnant woman was also trampled amongst this heartless crowd. She and the baby were reported to be doing fine, but if makes you wonder: what in the hell is wrong with people? As I mentioned in my previous article, I've been in retail for a long time. I've honestly witnessed family members get physical over a toy. I've seen complete strangers pushing each other just to get a damn fgSfiS DVD player. Seriously, consider the safety of others before you think of how much your * nephew could really use that item. It is absolutely ridiculous. < Probably the most disheartening report out of the Wal-Mart incident aside ftom an innocent man losing his life over a temporary price markdown were the customer reactions. Witness Kimberly Cribbs described the customers as acting like "savages." claiming that many continued to shop after complaining about being in line since Thursday morning. 1 realize how frustrating that must be, but... YOU WERE JUST INVOLVED IN A MURDER! Where are your morals? Police continued to review the footage through Saturday in hope of discovering any and all parties responsible for the death of the 34-year-old employee. Hopefully the police force can inherit enough evidence to lock up as many of those callous individuals as they possibly can. But in the end. the employee's family are the ones who are really punished as they have one less family member in the name of this 'glorious* annual tradition.

Justthe topic I have been looking forwardto writing about. Can I ever show myface in public again? Will I be amarked man?My feelings about PMS are likemost of the male populace, and yet Ican be sympathetic to it because Ihave seen different intensities of it.PMS, IRS, KGB, SWF: these arethe kisses of death. They all useacronyms for personal gain.Q.Why does the IRS audit?A.Because they are the IRS.Q.Why does a woman get crankyevery 28 days?A.Because they have PMS.I have seen some women use PMSto get anything they want. Usuallythe man just goes along because hedoesn't want to confront Satan. "Allright, dear. We'll watch Bridges ofMadison County again-instead of thisnew Schwarzenegger flick." And evenif the flow of emotions isn't heavy,she's happy because she got her wayand she used PMS as an excuse.Now, I'm not saying women do.thisall the time, but I don't believe everywoman is innocent of it.Andwomenknow this because it works!!! Jeez, if Ihad a credit for every time I made amidnight run to Taco Bell or BaskinRobbins for my ex, I'd be... well, I'dbe a math major at Parkside.(Granted, pregnancy is far off fromPMS but the same rules applybecause the mood swings are juSt asunpredictable.) And I went, halfasleep with my hair all ratted, halfmy face sliding off-my skull, wearingmy ~weaters and fuzzy slippers. Ibasically looked like your friendly,neighborhood "can I bum a quarter"guy.But is was either that or I wouldn'teven be allowed to drive past a TacoBell without some subtle remarkabout how "SELFISH I WAS!!!"Soladies, if you want things from thebeau, PMS is a great way to gobecause we are all basically suckersand fall for that every time. "What??You have PMS? I am at your serviceyour majesty. Please ... JUST DON'TKILL ME!!!"And, to all the guys who are stillwith me, PMS is a great time to earnsome brownie points! This would be agreat time to have a unique bunch offlowers sent to her at home or work(don't send roses ...anyone one can dothat. They like it when you get cre-ative). Better yet, take her out for aromantic evening of dinner and a car-riage ride, or a cozy evening by thefire, movie and some wine.But this is a really bad time to tellher that you would rather work onyour car than spend time with her. Orworst of all (and if anyone does thisyou are without my sympathies): tellher you've been feeling constrictedand need more space. Ifthat is thecase ...move! Trust me. I know fromexperience. Hide out in Montana orsomething and learn to live likeGrizzly Adams. Youwill never be safefrom her wrath.So once again kids, we come to theend of another "grrrreat!!" column.Any guys who want to tell me howPMS has ruined their lives can e-mailme atmaliks@it.uwp.edu.Any womenwho wanna kill me or tell where I cango with my opinions can e-mail myfriend Paul at thuriot@it.uwp.edu.• Karen DiehlManaging EditorA woman with PMS is muchlike ... well, like ... Hmm. I guessshe's not much like anything·else on Earth. She's generallyunpredictable, but not always.She's sometimes crabby, but notalways. And she usually getsoverly emotional, but notalways. It has been my experi-ence that men are very irritatedby this lack of consistency infemale behavior. All I have tosay on THAT subject is, if youthink it suckswatchingsomeonewith PMS, just try to imaginebeingsomeone with it.Men will whine about our"abuse" of the aggravatingmonthly condition, claiming weuse it as an excuse, or that wemanipulate poor, ovary-deficientcreatures by bullying them withit. Aw. Poor babies. I feel forthem, really.The truth of the matter isthat men areafraidof PMS.No, really. Everything about thecondition bothers them. Everwalk up to a guy and say, "men-struation?" He'll cringe, I guar-antee it. Men don't like thethought of going through exces-sive amounts of emotionalstress, bloating like a water bal-loon and then windin(;' up inexcruciating pain while bleedingprofusely. It sounds far to ickyto be a natural process. So,rather than admit that womenhave good reason to be crabby,they pretend the whole conditionis in our minds.I once had a male friend ofmine tell me, "Youdon't havePMS. Youjustthinkyou havePMS." Boy, was that a mistake.I proceeded to call him nameswhich would get me arrested insome countries and then burstinto tears. The thing which irri-tated me most was knowing thathe's probably not alone in feelingthat way. How many other menthink women are faking PMS toget their own way, but remain. silent to avoid the wrath ofWoman? The answer to thatquestion scares me.What most men don't under-stand is that having PMS isn'tlike having an ordinary bout ofcrabbiness. It's like having youremotional sensors set toOVERKILL. If the person infront of you snaps their gum onan ordinary day, you'd think toyourself, "Man, that's rude. Iwish he'd stop it." However,should he make the mistake ofdoing so on a PMS day, you'dfind yourself picturing your footmeeting the back of his greasylittle head with a loud, satisfy-ing THWACK! as his limp, life-less body fell to the floor. Andthey say PMS isn't an illness ....In closing, I'd like to ask all ofthe penis-endowed members ofthe human race to have pity onthe rest of us. We don't mean tobe irrational crabs every month,we just can't help it. As soon asmen realize that the only thingworse than having PMS is hav-ing PMS with an insensitiveman around, the world will be abetter place.ObservationsEconomic Insecurity?·C. J. Nelsonmarket since it is a truism that "theAmerican electorate votes with its wal-let". Polling data show that the majori-ty of workers are concerned about theirfutures. Cliche or not, the rich do seemto be getting richer and the poor, poorer.A recent Wisconsin survey showed that theaverage hourly wage is $6.00. Articles in theKenosha Newsbemoan the lack of workers insouthern Wisconsin. What the paper does notsay is that the wage in this area is only $4.50 to$6.00 per hour. That wage is simply not enoughto sustain afamily,A large portion of theunemployed in this area have dependents andthis wage is a joke. In Illinois the averagehourly pay (at least from what I have seen) is$6.00 - $9.00. Local business types wonder whypeople would rather work at Motorola, than atthe Factory Outlet Mall, or the 'dog track.Ocean Spray Cranberries advertised for work-ers recently. They received in excess of 2,000Capitalism is the best economic system everdevised by man. The facts are clear: no othersystem has ever been able to produce the wide-spread prosperity that capitalism has. This .does not mean that a market- based economy isthe incarnation of heaven on earth; far from it.Today in this and other nations we have thereality of widespread economic insecurity (seePat Buchanan) in what economists call a goodeconomy (see Bill Clinton).Almost daily, radio and television shows talkabout the job market. It being an election yearthe politicians are also talking about the jobresumes, tested close to 400, and interviewed200, all to fill ten job vacancies. If my math iscorrect, your odds of getting a job are one intwenty. Commonly jobs have five to seven, ormore, applicants per opening.Downsizing (using a current buzz word) is notnew. The only difference between the IBM,Xerox, and AT&T managers, and manufacturingworkers is that the latter lost their jobs in thelate 1970's through mid 1980's. Small wonderthat opinion surveys indicate that these work-ers have little sympathy for their white collarbrethren now out of work.The rich are walling themselves off from therest of society like the French noblemen of the17th century. While I do not think a corre-sponding reaction by others is likely, I do feelthat this tangible economic insecurity is notgood for out nation and that the possibility ofstrife grows in proportion to it.

NelsonQ:What do you call a thousandlawyers at the bottom of LakeMichigan?A: A good start.Q:What is the difference betweena defense lawyer and a convict?A: You might let your daughtermarry a convict."First we kill all the lawyers." -William Shakespeare.As you can tell from the aboveparagraph I hold the legal profes-sion in minimal regard. Ireserve special contempt for triallawyers who I see as being thelowest thing on the moral foodchain. "Gee C. J., that seems atad bit strident," you say. "Notat all," I answer. In fact I intendto validate my position.Consider Leslie Abramson, oneof the lead lawyers for theMenendez brothers. In the broth-ers' first trial she argued that thebrothers had shot their parents,reloaded and shot them somemore because they had beenabused. She got a hung jury. Asmarter judge did not allow thistripe in the second trial. So Ms.Abramson had her defense shrinkchange his notes. The only prob-lem was that those same noteshad been turned over to the pros-ecution in the first trial. The dis-crepancy was found and the doc-tor admitted that he had beenurged to change his notes. Whenquestioned, Ms. Abramson tookthe Fifth. And if this is notenough, the other Menendezlawyers argued that the convic-tion should be thrown out becausethe brothers had not receivedproper legal counsel. That, ladiesand gentlemen, is chutzpah.Alan Dershowicz argues that atrial is not a search for the truth,that guilt or innocence is immate-rial. If that is the case, what is atrial for? Dershowicz states thathe has defended and won anacquittal for "my murder." Inother words, he got a man heknew was guilty off. This is aman who merits respect? If youlisten to him you see a supremelyarrogant man who belittles any-one who would dare to disagreewith him. After all he is a lawyerand therefore smarter than usmere mortals.Defense lawyers rejoice intelling us how bad the justice sys-tem is. I sometimes wonder if,according to them, anyone is everguilty of committing any crime.This morning it was reported thatthe shyster that represents thealleged Unabomber will argue incourt that his client can not get afair trial anywhere in the nationand therefore any charges shouldbe dropped and no othersbrought. That's serving the causeofjustice, is it not?Just once I would like to see ajudge lock up a trial lawyer whobrings a frivolous lawsuit into hiscourt. The problem is that judgesare lawyers themselves. If youneed anymore convincing thatlawyers are an overall waste,then consider that Hillary Clintonand her husband are bothlawyers. Now you know whyReagan was a better President.How toWhine- Jim HendricksonEditor-in-ChiefNot sure how to whine?As a public service, theRangerNewswill help you out.Whining is one of the greatest plea-sures life has to offer. Shakespearesaid, "Aloaf of bread, a jug andwhine, whine, whine."Seriously, whining is the only waysome people express their displeasureto others. Clearly, it is important thatwe know how to deal with whiners intheir own·habitat.Whining as an art form was devel-oped in the late Hellenistic Age.AsRome gobbled up territories in theBalkans, the overrun Greeks said"Did they have to track mud all o~erthe place? At least Alexander theGreat wiped his feet on the matbefore destroying our land's wealthand 'marrying' our best-lookingwomen. Those Romans are justbarbaric!"Since then, soldiers have whinedabout generals, generals have whinedabout politicians, politicians havewhined about other politicians, etc.ad nauseam. Intuitively, whining haschanged the course of human events.Mostly, it has had a deleterious effecton the diplomatic relations of nations.World War II might not have hap-pened if the German people hadwhined just a little less about theVersailles Treaty. Just a thought.Now for the question-and-answer section:Q.What does all this whining gener-ate, other than hot air?A. Whining can be very beneficial ifyou whine about the right things tothe right people.Ifyou pick yourwhines as carefully as you pick yourfriends, you realize that some whinesare appropriate in a finite number ofsituations.Q.Can you give me an example?A. Yes.Q.Today? ..A. Yes.Itis never appropriate towhine to me about something I'mdoing wrong.Q.How are you supposed to learnwhat offends other people?A.Ifit offendsme, it must offendoth-ers.Q.And if it offends others?A.So?Q.Is it appropriate to whine aboutMadonna being pregnant by a manwho was not, is not and will not beher husband?A. Yes. If Madonna's behavior sur-prises you and specifically harms you,you have every right to whine. Justdon't do it to me.Q.Is it all right to whine that BillClinton takes credit for the goodthings done by the RepublicanCongress?A.Ifyou are Newt Gingrich or one ofthe pod people, yes.Q.Can I whine that my communica-tion teacher just doesn't understandme?A.No.Q.I was totally put out by last week'sRanger Newssaying the story contin-ued on page two when it was reallyon page four. Can I whine about that?A. Did you find the story eventually?Q.Yes.A.No, you cannot whine about that.Whine about something big.Something meaningful.Q.But Jim, you say you hate whiningabout little stuff. Aren't-you justwhining about other people's whin-ing?A.Yes,but I have only two issues leftas Editor-in-Chief. This had to be said.Shakespeare 'ToBe' CelebratedDuring Parkside DinnerA Shakespeare Birthday Dinner,commemorating the 432nd birth-day of William Shakespeare, will .be held at the University ofWisconsin-Parkside on April 2l.The buffet dinner is sponsoredby the Teaching ShakespeareResource Center and the RegionalStaff Development Center.
