The
newest
trend
in the
online
travel
industry
is the
movement
toward
a meta
riJtj{fel
that
separates
looking
and
booking
services.
Companies
like Kayak
and Sidestep,
which
are fairly
light
on technology,
allow
users
to sort
and
filter
through
travel
options
before
booking
with
a different
agency.
These
companies
make
their
profits
through
advertising,
and
steal
the "first
click"
from
online
travel
services
that actually
sell
travel
packages.
Unlike
these
searching
sites,
Web
sites
hosted
directly
by suppliers
of airfare
and lodging
link
users
directly
to the source
of the services
desired.
To
keep
up
with
these
developments,
Orbitz
is moving
beyond
its
core
strengths
of
searching,
booking
and service.
They
are
looking
to
include
travel
inspiration,
res
ear
c
h
•
collaboration
and
even
sharing
among
travelers.
.
According
to
Sivley,
disruptive
technologies
cause
much
of the growth
that
occurs
in
a
field of business.
To
explain
the concept
of
a disruptive
technology.
he used
the example
of how
mini-mills
overtook
the
steel
industry
in the
1970's
by
specializing
in
specific
grades
of
steel
and gradually
improving
the
quality
of
their
product
while
reducing
overhead
costs.
He then
noted
that
the
way
online
travel
agencies
have
take__
tlIe
_1~0&1l
similar
model.
He
also
discussed
how
"incumbent"
businesses
can
still
_om
to keep
up with
technology
if they
create
separate
organizations
outside
of their
main
business
to
research
and
implement
new
technologies.
This
was the case
with
both
Orbitz,
which
was
purchased
by travel
agency
Cendant,
as well
as HP, which
created
an outside
organization
to develop
ink jet printers.
Now
statistics
show
that
the top
e-commerce
category
is travel,
which
is more
than
three
times
larger
than any other
segment
of online
purchases.
As
the first
online
travel
agency,
OrbJtz
was
founded
In
1999
by
five
of
the lop airlines.
In
2001,
Orbitz
was also the first online
travel
site to use a matrix
00
its
-Website.
"We
invented
the
matrix,"
said Sivley.
"That
was
one
of the things
that
really
changed
online
booking
and
made
Orbitz
successful."
Orbitz
has
stayed
ahead
of the curve
and still maintains
a strong
status
as the second
largest
online
site, based
upon
the
gross
income
earned
from
travel
bookings,
Orbitz
now
includes
other
related
sites,
including
Cheap

E-bookers,

and

To current
UW-Parkside
students.
Sivley
offers
this
advice:
take educated
risks,
but
have
a plan
and an exit strategy.
When
a decision
does
not work
out as planned.
he suggests
that,
"you
can't
get so locked
into the
plan that you are afraid
to change
your
choices,"
Throughout
much
of his career,
Sivley
look
risks
that paid off, but he would
not have
taken
them
if he didn't
know
the possible
downfalls
going
into the situation.
For
example,
after
graduating
from
UW-Parkside
in 1980.
Sivley
decided
to apply
at Accenture,
a large
accounting
finn,
which
offered
him

value

training,

not
necessarily
through
the
compensation
he
received.
Sivley
shared
how

On Feb.
20, the "New
York
Times"
newspaper
came
out
with
a story
about
John
McCain
possibly
showing
favoritism
for
a female
lobbyist,
Vicki
Iseman,
and the companies
she represents.
The
article
mentions
that
the
communications
company
she
represents
contributed
tens
of
thousands
of dollars
to McCain
campaigns.
The article
says
that
McCain
advisors
were
worried
at one point
that the relationship
with
Ms.
Iseman
was
romantic,
so they
took
steps
to intervene
with
how
much
McCain
saw the
lobbyist.
The
New York Times
reported
that
a
former
campaign
adviser
described
being
instructed
to keep
Ms. Iseman
away
from
McCain
at public
events.
McCain
urged
the
Federal
Communications
Commission
to uphold
laws
that would
help
the companies
that Ms.
Iseman
represents
in 1998
and 1999.
The
article
also
states
that
McCain
introduced
a bill to create
tax
incentives
for minority
ownership
of
stations;
Ms.
Iseman
represented
several
businesses
seeking
such
a program.
The
New
YorkTImes
also wrote
in the article
that McCain
tried twice
to advance
legislation
that
would
permit
a
company
to control
television
stations
in overlapping
markets,
an important
issue
for one of Ms.
Iseman's
representatives.
McCain
released
a statement
to the
New York Times
denying
all reports
that he has done
this,
and says that it's a shame
that the
New York Times
has lowered
its
standards
to
engage
in a hit and
run smear
campaign.
Ms. Iseman
also denies
all
reports.
McCain's
friends
told the
New York TImes
that they dismiss
questions
about
McCain's
ties to lobbyists,
arguing
that
he has too much
integrity
to let such
personal
connections
influence
him.

ALEX
SCHUTZ
maulmail@yahoo,com
The
current
flu season
has
not been
so kind.
Many
people
try to avoid
the flu bug by getting
a flu 'hot,
and that usually
helps
them
steer
clear
of the virus.
Unfortunately,
this year's
batch
of shots
only
cover
about
forty
percent
of the raging
viruses
out
out there,
leaving
the majority
free to do their dirty
work
with the
human
body.
The main
culprit
is
some
thunder
from
down
under:
a strain
of flu virus
known
as
Brisbane/Ill.
The
Australian
strain
was
only
discovered
recently
this
winter
and was
not able
to be
"We've
got issues"
onpoge
added
to the flu shot cocktail.
It
can take
up to eight
months
to
make
a
[lu
vaccine.
and when
something
sneaks
its
way in after
or near the end of its completion,
not much
can
be
done.
Worse
yet.
Brisbanefl
0 is exceedingly
tough
to get growing
in a lab. However.
there
is hope
as a virus
that is very
similar
La
the Australian
dynamo
can be more
easily
cultured
and
therefore
a vaccine
to that strain
would
also
be useful
against
Brisbane/IO.
The flu viruses
are
grown
in chicken
eggs
and then
~accines
are derived
from
those
samples.
Vaccines
protect
against
three
types
of viruses:
two from
the more
severe
Type
A flu and
one from
the milder
Type
B. As
the flu virus
is highly
adaptive,
no
vaccine
is completely
effective,
but this year's
was
particularly
ineffective.
With
the discovery
of
the BrisbaneflO
strain.
hopefully
next years
batch
of flu shots
will
help
prevent
more
people
from
being
sick.

Worldfest

We're
going

of the Worldfest

is that
we just
don't
have
the

I'm
not
sure
if
this

has been going so
well
because
of the
amount
of new
staff
members
we
have,
because
there's
more
going
on on-campus
(and
off-campus,
for that

or
something
entirely
different,
but I never
thought
[' d see
the
day where
we would
have
to sort
through
the articles
to decide
what
goes
in what

I'm
certainly
not
cornplaining-
-without

we had
12 pages
of
content
this

Once

everything

placed

16

The Women's

is

Smith
is
a

who
is majoring
in English
with

in

Herjob duties
include
helping
to coordinate

forthe center
as well as finding

who can give

on various
women's
ISsues,
from abortion
to eating
disorders.
"Last
year, people
were
askedto volunteer
two hours
everyweek;
this time I am just
asking
for people
to work an
~our
or two a month.
You can do
uon a
Tuesday,
You can do it on
Thursday,
Friday;
that is mucb
easierto fit into,"
said Smith.
The Women's

can
notfully function
unless
it bas

and Smith
is hopeful
tbose same people
she
gets to work there this semester
will also
be willing
to
work,
or
possibly
even lead, the center
in
the fall semester.
"I tbink that people
want
to see the window
open,
but
they are unwilling
to help get
it open.
We just need people
to sit in here; you can do
your
homework.
but you need to be
willing
to
help people."
said
Smith.
"Not having
the window
open really
limits
the access
to
those things
for the women
on
this campus,"
Student

whose
meeting
February
7
focused
in on Dean of Arts

Donald

recommendations
on
the
future
of the
Modern

Department.
Cress's
recommendations
include

and, finally,
a report

or
hiring
an
adjunct
to offer
basic instruction
in French

German
at the lower
levels
but
ending
their respective
major
programs.
Lee-Hurwitz
said that
"Most
[German
or French]
majors
place into the
200
level,"
and the numbers
of majors
wbo started
in the
100
level
are small.
Lee-Hurwitz
also
said that there is an average
of
two
graduates
with a major
in
French
and half a graduate
with
a major
in
German
every
year.
In light of these facts,
Greenfield
asked.
"How
do
tbey [the French
and German
programs]
make
a
meaningful
contribution
to the university?"
CAP is nnt finished
reviewing
the Modem

Department,
and
it

Scheduling Spring '05
BY PRESTON BROWN
Stress is simply a part of life for most students, especially
around the end of the semester. With finals to study for and reports
to be written, who has time to make a schedule for next semester?
But like anything else, the decisions that are made today affect the
future of tomorrow.
Forgetting to register on time for the next semester's
classes is nothing new to a lot of students at UW-Parkside. Thomas
Culkin, a senior, said 'T ve signed up late for classes before and it
never pans out. You end up, out of desperation, putting together a
schedule that conflicts with the rest of your life." Culkin advised
new students as well as the veterans to the UW-Parkside system to
"try to use as much foresight as possible when planning your next
semester." ?
The registration system now used by the UW-Parkside
community is the new SOLAR System, which is the third one the
University has used in as many years.
'The SOLAR system is confusing, only because I haven't
had enough experience with it." Said Culkin in reference to the new
systems user-friendliness.
When students overlook the importance of scheduling next
semester's classes early on, they often end up with their second and
third choices. Also, many classes are only offered once or year or
every other. Culkin said that in his experience, the easiest way to
ensure your next semester will be an productive one is to "get it
sorted out as early as possible."
"Even if you don't have time" Culkin said, "make time
in order to make a good decision. ' When students fail to get the
classes they want, they are effectively not getting what they paid
for. Students have a lot of resources available to them to help guide
them in the right direction, such as the Advising Center.
When making next semester's schedule, students should
consider putting themselves first. Making a good schedule that
fits around everyday life isn't hard; it just takes a little time that
procrastination does not allow for.

Letter to The Ranger News RANGER STAFF
One of the most important factors in the ongoing relationship
between Police Departments and the media is a mutual trust or
understanding that the reporting will be unbiased and fair. I am
disappointed to see the highlighted quote "We (Police) don't have any
requirement or rule that we have to play fair." on the front page of
the Ranger News. This comment is reported out of context, and the
context is never explained in the body of the article. This is
irresponsible, as it intentionally leads the reader to an incorrect
conclusion. The comment was made in reference to the escalation of
force, where Officers are not expected, or required, to have "even" odds
with a combative or resisting subject. We are statutorily obligated to
gain control of a situation. The Michael Bell incident was an example
of an escalation of the amount of force necessary to overcome
resistance. If will be the duty of the Kenosha County District Attorney
to determine if the use of force was justified, given the facts of the case.
Including the report of an unidentified person who spoke to an
eyewitness to this case is also irresponsible. Has there been any
effort to determine who this person is, who they spoke to, and verify
their version of events? Fair and unbiased reporting would preclude
unsubstantiated comments from being included as fact. The internet is an
unreliable source for information, without independent verification.

The guidlines for the the
shantytown was to build a
house out of boxes. No fires,
grills, camp stoves, and no
heaters were allowed. Furthermore someone always had to be
in the shanty. The Habitat for Humanity organization wrote,
"participants got an awareness of homelessness." In addition
Habitat for Humanity collected donations and canned goods for
local shelter. The event focused attention on an estimated 3 million
people in the United States that are homeless, 35 percent of which
are families with children.
World Aids Day
Monday, December 1 was World Aids Day. There
are an estimated 37.5 million people living with the human
immnunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency
syndrome (HI V-AIDS) in the world. This year the focus of was on
women and girls who make up almost half the cases in the world.
According to UNAIDS the worst effected region is Africa. South
Africa alone estimates that one out of six people are infected with
the virus. UW-Parkside's Peer Health Educators are leading an
awareness of the virus and discussing prevention with students.

Police Insure Guest Safety
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR
Students involved in campus organizations are aware of the effort that
goes into putting on an event. Providing a safe environment for your guests may
be one of the most important concerns.
UW-Parskide's policy #49 ("University Event Security Policy")
states, "The Student Life and University Police staff are [sic] charged with the
responsibility for [sic] reviewing all events held in the Union to assure that
they do not represent an unreasonable risk to participants, other members of the
campus community, or University' property."
The review determines an appropriate level of security for people and
property based on the "risk involved and liability incurred, and whether and
under what conditions it is appropriate to hold the event on campus [sic]."
Police are required as security when there is a potential for a fight, or
another conflict that jeopardizes the security of guests, Stephanie Sirovatka-
Marshall clarified.
Sirovatka-Marshall, assistant director of Student Activities and
Parkside Activities Board (PAB), said that, "The type of the event, the potential
controversies that might be surrounding it, the hours of the event, and all sorts of
things come into play."
There are no set regulations that require a certain number of officers to
be present for any given amount of expected attendees. Such decisions are made
by the oiganization's event-coordinator, Sirovatka-Marshall, and campus Chief of
Police and Public Safety Michael Marzion.
Using campus police force officers may be beneficial for students,
Sirovatka-Marshall suggests. UW-Parkside campus police are trained to handle
situations in a college environment. They may be able to mediate a situation
without necessarily having to issue a ticket or make an arrest as a city police
officer would.
"We've had officers at speak outs on LGBT [sic] issues in the past when
we've known that there would be people who would protest or be extremety
critical," she said.
Other factors that might set off a security alarm include event planning
and marketing. "We would want security at an event where a dance floor would
have to be cleared, or if organizations are promoting their event off campus - at
bars or high schools,".Sirovatka-Marshall said.
She a suggests clearly indicating what age group the event caters to or
all publicity. An 18-and-over event whose flyers direct guests to bring college
identification is less likely to demand security. Preparing a laiger monitoi staff of
students and faculty may also decrease the need for police presence.
"A concert that doesn't require a dance floor" is less of a security risk,
Sirovatka-Marshall indicated. "That's been an issue. Does the dance floor need to
be cleared?" That might make an event more attractive to an audience, but it may
also be unnecessaiy, she says.
In the event of a low turnout for an event, the leading police officer makes
the call as to whether police presence will remain at the event. Even if they
leave, however, officers who are union members will be paid for at least a
part of the time they were scheduled to be there.
"There is a time period of mandatory pay if [security] were to get called
in for an event. So an organization may end up paying for four hours of an
officer being at an event as opposed to six," Sirovatga-Marshall said. It's
also possible that some part-time officers may not be union members.
Sirovatka-Marshall invrtes student organizations with questions
about policy and procedures to contact her as well. "A lot of times, there's not
a complete understanding so the information I get doesn't exactly match the
questions an organization should've been asked."

Professor
Reviews
BY JASON GRIFFES
"How do I decide what classes to
take next semester?" This question
plagues many UW-Parkside students.
There are many resources available to
students when deciding what classes to
take from course catalogs and talking
to advisors to talking to friends. One
of these may be the most valuable is
the professor reviews that are available
for student review in the library. These
reviews analyze students' responses
on each individual professor, in each
course by using a number of questions
the students answer at the end of each
semester. The questions vary per
department so the questions that can
be seen for Math professors will differ
from those questions asked about the
English professors.
The reviews may be checked out
for periods of up to two hours, and can
be found at the resource desk in the
library. There are three catalogs that are
broken down in alphabetical order by
department. These include Art through
Communications, Computer Science
through History, and Humanities
through Theatre Arts. The categories
include reviews from all of the courses
that were offered the previous semester,
by all of the instructors that held the
courses.
All of the questions are analyzed on
a number scale basis using one through
five. When researching a professor it is
important to note what the question is,
rather than just reading the numbered
responses. The reason for this is the
number system does not always stay
at a standard, one being lowest, five
being highest. Some questions assign
the numbers a value such as freshman
or senior. The professor reviews seem
to provide no written comments by
students, only the number systems are
utilized in the reviews.
This system can be a very valuable
tool to those students trying to decide
between two classes in a semester. The
reviews can also assist a student when
trying to decide if they will mesh with
the professor who is teaching the class.
These are issues that every student
faces when deciding what to study in
each semester. It is also important to
fill these out honestly at the end of each
class so that other students can use the
Tis' the Season for Helping
BY HEATHER TODD
The holidays have rapidly arrived and now is the
time for families, feasts, and for most students, no classes.
Sleeping until noon and spending time with friends is a
wonderful way to spend the holiday break, however, if
you're searching for a rewarding experience and that warm
fuzzy feeling inside there are several ways to satisfy that
desire to help. Kenosha and Racine, along with most towns
and cities, have established organizations with volunteers
and support in mind.
Students have all seen the bell ringers outside stores
and malls, but that might not be everyone's idea of a
fulfilling opportunity. Organizations like the United Way
of America and The Boys and Girls Club of Kenosha offer
students and adults the ability to express themselves while
helping others.
By visiting The United Way's web site, unitedway.
org, visitors are given access to more than 400 opportunities
to care. Each example has specifics that allow the volunteerto-

Activities Board (PAB) hosted Talent
Night Tuesday (TNT) in Union Square
from 8-10 p.m. The night featured a local
acoustic band Non-Existent, featuring
Dave Zakos and Mike Niemiec. After
the band performed, PAB hosted an
Open Mic Night in which multiple UWParkside
students were given the chance
to showcase their individual talents.
Non-Existent played several of
their hit songs from their CD "The
Acoustic Sampler" including "Broken
Heart," "Wait for Tonight," and "Forever
Endeavor.'' Both Zakos and Niemiec
performed guitar and vocals. Attendance
was high and Non-Existent put on a
great show that the audience really got
into. "We didn't have an expectation for
attendance other than assuming a rather
positive turnout due to the reactions to
PAB's promotional actions. The band

Caffeine - A Safe Energy Boost for Exams?
BY AMBER TAYLOR
Does caffeine help keep students awake while
studying for exams? Caffeine, a bitter white alkaloid
often derived from tea or coffee and used in medicine
chiefly as a mild stimulant, may help ward off sleepiness.|
It is a commonly used drug that has been shown to
increase alertness, and improve mood and reaction time.
Just like every other stimulant there, caffeine affects
everyone a little differently depending on how much
you're used to consuming. The best strategy, for both
health and grades, is to only drink a cup of coffee or soc
when.concentration could use a boost.
There are side effects of consuming caffeine.
First, caffeine stimulates the central nervous system (including the brain). The brain
is the driving force behind the central nervous system. Caffeine also stimulates the
cardiovascular system, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, stimulating muscles
and increasing urination. Secondly, consuming too much caffeine may result in
experiencing jitters, anxiety and headaches.
Energy drinks like Jolt, Red Bull, and AMP contain high levels of caffeine
and sugar, in addition to other ingredients promoted as energy enhancers (including
B vitamins and amino acids). Some energy drinks contain such high levels of
caffeine that side effects may result, especially consuming doses higher than one is
accustomed to. WebMD.com states, "A person is much better off consuming a can of
soda and taking daily multivitamins then drinking an energy drink".
The bottom line is that caffeine has been shown to improve concentration
and alertness, therefore, it is generally safe to consume a moderate amount of it.
Of course, consuming more caffeine than a person is accustomed to may result in
experiencing jitters and nervousness.

Illegal File Sharing Targeted In Wave Of New Lawsuits
Peer-to-Peer Network Users On Campuses
In Massachusetts, Iowa, Virginia and the
District of Columbia Sued
WASHINGTON~(COLLEGIATE
PRESSWIRE)~The music industry's
campaign to deter online music theft
and foster an environment where
legitimate online serv ices can flourish
continued today with a new round
of copyright infringement lawsuits
against 761 illegal file sharers.
As before, illegal file sharing
on college campuses was a focus.
Twenty-five of the lawsuits brought
by the Recording Industry Association
of America (RIAA), on behalf of the
major record companies, were against
individuals using a university Internet
connection to illegal distribute music
files on unauthorized peer-to-peer
services such as eDonkey, Limewire
and Kazaa.
The university networks used
by the 25 individuals who were sued
today include: American University,
Amherst College, Assumption College,
Boston College, Boston University,
Bridgewater State College, Emerson
College, Towa State University, James
Madison University, Mount Holyoke
College, Northeastern University, and
the University of Massachusetts.
Caiy Sherman, President, Recording
Industry Association of America
(RIAA), pointed to new partnerships
between universities and legitimate
music services as an example of the
continuing positive developments that
have resulted partly from the record
industry's legal strategy. "During the
fall, we have seen a flurry of additional
agreements between schools and
legal online music providers," said
Sherman. "That's exciting news for
the university, students, and all those
involved in the creative chain of
making and distributing music. The
lawsuits are an essential educational
tool. They remind music fans about
the law and provide incentives to
university administrators to offer legal
alternatives."
"College students are some
of most avid music fans," added
Sherman. "The music habits and
customs they develop now are likely to
stay with them for life. If s especially
important for us to educate them
about the law, the harm suffered by
musicians, labels and retailers alike
when music is stolen, and the great
legal ways to enjoy music online."
Sherman also said that the
recent study from Ipsos-Insight is a
useful reminder that "enforcement is
always a means to an end - creating
environments where legal businesses
can gain a foothold in the marketplace
and succeed."
November data from Ipsos-
Insight showed the percentage of
Americans who have paid a fee to
download music off the Internet has
climbed 150 percent since late 2003.

University of Dreams
College Internship Program
Sees Shifting Trends in
Students' Career Choices
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(COLLEGLATE PRESSWIRE)-
-University of Dreams (http://www.uofdreams.com) is
a unique summer internship program that places college
students with industry-leading companies. A recent
nationwide survey conducted by UofDreams suggests a shift
in students' priorities over the past four years towards more
interest in meaningful jobs, rather than just jobs with bigname
companies.
"Securing an internship with a brand-name company
used to dominate," said Brad Conner, Intern Program
Manager. "But students seem to have a different set of
priorities than just a few years ago."
Students' priorities, Conner suggests, have shifted
toward an interest in gaining experience in a specific field.
More than 80% of survey respondents listed a particular
industry as the most important factor in their internship
search.
"Perhaps more significant is that students are placing
an increasing emphasis on the role that their boss plays
as a mentor. Students have begun to request a proactive
boss who will help to coach, nurture, and teach during the
internship."
University of Dreams is quick to point out that students
still want to have it all, but these two elements suggest
that they are recognizing the value of on-site professional
learningan area in which UofDreams specializes.
"Years ago, in the wake of the Internet bubble, we
noticed that students were increasingly moving away from
the dotcom entrepreneurial path and seeking more stable
and meaningful learning opportunities," says company
founder, Eric Lochtefeld.
Recent data also suggest what parents have known .
for year — that college students want more than just a job
out of their summer. "Over 70% of our participants have
stressed the importance of working in an exciting city, but
we have also seen that a majority of college students want to
augment their summer experience with real-world learning
and travel" Lochtefeld adds.
University of Michigan student Stewart McMillan
underscored the importance of his well-rounded UofDreams
experience: "Initially I was focused entirely on my
internship at Merrill Lynch, which wasincredible. But the
biggest value of the summer came in the people I met, the
valuable seminars, the experience, and the fun weekend
excursions. This was the best summer I've had."
And, says Lochtefeld, this trend toward a total summer
experience is unlikely to stall anytime soon: "Today's
college students don't just want some cubicle job; they want
a complete experience that will advance their professional
and social lives."

Blue Cross Breaks the Mold by Offering Uninsured
"Young Invincibles" New Options
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.«(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Blue Cross of California's
(Blue Cross) affiliate, BC Life & Health Insurance Company, has broken the mold of traditional health insurance
offerings by marketing unique health plans tailored to the lifestyle and attitudes of "young invincibles (young adults
ages 19 to 29).
There are 6.5 million uninsured Californians. Young adults have the highest rate of being uninsured, consistently
reported between 30 and 40 percent. "Young invincibles" tend to be people no longer covered by family insurance
policies and just beginning to establish their independence. They are also starting their careers and less likely to be
offered insurance by their employers. Nearly half of all full-time workers aged 19 to 29 lack employer-based health
benefits.
Tonik health plans were designed by-and for-"young invincibles," as an effort to expand access to health care
coverage for one of the fastest growing uninsured populations in the state and the country. Tonik plans are simple, easy
to use and affordable. Tonik covers everyday preventive needs (like routine doctor visits) as well as the more serious
medical necessities. Unlike other individual policies on the market, seeing a dentist, getting eye exams, glasses and
contacts are all-inclusive within the new benefit design.
Curious "young invincibles" can visit and apply for Tonik online at www.tonikhealth.com. Applicants are subject
to review and approval for a plan within minutes. Tonikhealth.com is intentionally easy to understand and navigate.
There is minimal to no paperwork and if approved, an applicant can print out a custom-designed identification card.
"Young adults think of insurance like broccoli," said Steve Synott; general manager of Individual Services for
Blue Cross of California. "They Know it's good for them but they don't have a taste for it yet." As a result, many go
without it. There are currently an estimated 1.6 million uninsured 19 to 29-year-olds in California. The financial pain
of a sports related injury or other unforeseen event can outweigh the physical. Consider the following: an ambulance
ride to the hospital is $607; the average cost of a day in the hospital is $7,175; and knee surgery and care is estimated
at $48,302. The costs of Tonik plans are painless. They range from $64 to $123 a month, depending upon the plan, the
insured's age and where they live.
In a unique approach to product development, Blue Cross engaged in a "reverse point-of-view" philosophy
by examining the preferences and lifestyles of uninsured young adufis. Blue Cross research indicated that they are
interested in health insurance, if it met their needs and was offered at tire right price. "The more research we did to
understand this group, the more we became convinced that the 'young invisibles' were willing and ready to take
responsibility for their own health care — if they found a plan that fit their needs," said Deborah Laehman, senior vice
president of Individual and Small Group Services for Blue Cross of California.
Tonik will initially be available only in California and debuts though a series of non-traditional marketing
techniques.

Radspinner says.
The night wouldn't be complete without singing and celebrating
a happy birthday to PAB's own Special Events Coordinator Kristy
Radspinner herself. That night she celebrated her 20th birthday. Radspinner
went to go introduce Non-Existent, even though all the PAB members were
missing-in-action. Out of nowhere, there came the PAB members, along
with the audience, singing "Happy Birthday" while carrying out a huge
cake. "I was overwhelmed to all they did for me - it meant so much to

NBA Playbook Says
Re-Court Sponsors
The National Basketball Association
swiftly punished players who
brawled with fans. Now it is trying"
to prevent the bad blood from
spreading to its sponsors.
NBA officials are contacting
sponsors td reassure them the
league planned further action to
safeguard its image after Indiana
Pacers players fought with Detroit
Pistons fans in the stands and on
the court at a game last Friday.
The NBA's strong ties with sponsors
and advertisers have helped
minimize the fallout. Plus, in handing
down some of the longest suspensions
in league history—nine
players, 143 games and more than
$11 million in lost salary-NBA
Commissioner David Stern demonstrated
he wouldn't let the crisis escalate.
But while loyal, longtime sponsors
such as Anheuser-Busch, Coca-
Cola and PepsiCo's Gatorade have
been supportive, the NBA may have
a difficult time luring new advertisers.
"Advertisers seeking to jump
into this sport will be a little bit
more cautious now," said one purchaser
of media time for advertisers.
The risk for sponsors is their being
affiliated with an NBA brand
whose luster might appear tarnished.
Sexual-assault charges,
later dropped, against superstar
Kobe Bryant were a backdrop for
the last NBA season. This year, stories
of petulant behavior by NBA
players have overshadowed the
feel-good stories that defined the
league for two decades.
Telecoms Fight Plans
For Municipal Wi-Fi
Dozens of cities and towns
across the country are rushing to
provide low- or no-cost wireless, or
Wi-Fi, Internet access to their residents.
But the large phone and cable
companies are lobbying state
legislatures to make it illegal for
municipalities to offer such service.
Critics denounce the legislative
tactics by the companies, arguing
that the U.S. lags behind other
countries in broadband Internet access
because the phone and cable
companies have been slow to roll
out the service in some areas. The
towns and cities involved say their
plans will spur economic development
and help bridge the digital divide,
making Web access nearly
ubiquitous.

The growth plans of the telephone
and cable operators, however,
depend heavily on selling Internet
connections through their
digital-subscriber-line and cablemodem
businesses. The telecom
companies argue that it is unfair for
them to have to compete against the
government.
Car Won't Start?
Make Tour Payment
Here is a radical way to crack
down on people who fall behind on
their car payments: take away the
keys.
That is what a growing number
of lenders and car dealerships are
doing in an effort to end the lengthy
and expensive cycle of tracking
down people who are delinquent
and potentially repossessing the
car. A small keypad is installed in
the dashboard and requires drivers
to punch in a code from the lender
before the car will start. If you don't
pay on time, your code stops working.
Starter-interrupt devices are
fast gaining popularity among independent
auto dealers who carry
their own financing. One maker of
the gadgets, Gordon Howard Associates
Inc., says it has sold about
160,000 of its PassTime devices so
far to some 1,600 auto dealers.
FCC Says Choice
Raises Cable Rates
Allowing consumers to choose
only the cable stations they want
would result in higher monthly
bills, and could force smaller networks
off the air, according to a
study by federal regulators.
Congress ordered the Federal
Communications Commission
study after being inundated with
complaints about rising cable rates.

Wal-Mart: As Seen on TV?
Discounter Is Subject
Of Satire and Scorn;
Others See Reflection
By ANN ZIMMERMAN and JOE FLINT Companies pay big bucks to
get mentioned on TV
shows. Then there is Wal-
Mart Stores Inc., which
could live without much of
the free publicity it is getting
these days.
In recent weeks, a Wal-Mart
look-alike played a prominent role
in "Without a Trace," the CBS hit
crime-drama about Federal Bureau
of Investigation agents who track
down missing people.
The show's store—"Every
Mart"—was the employer of a single
mother who didn't qualify for
health benefits and whose wages
were so meager she had to deal
drugs to pay for her son's hearing
aid. The writers may have called
the store by a fictitious name, but
by dressing workers in Wal-Mart's
trademark blue smocks, the resemblance
to the world's No. 1 retailer
was unmistakable.
This month. Comedy Central's
ever-irreverent cartoon "South
Park" built an entire episode
around a "Wall-Mart" coming to
town. Originally met with wild enthusiasm,
the new arrival turns the
town folk into consumer zombies
lured by cheap prices to buy massive
quantities of products they
don't need. It also turns Main Street
into a bombed-out ghost town.
At the same time, Wal-Mart's
Comedy Central's 'South Park' show recently built an episode
around a thinly disguised Wal-Mart coming to town.
market muscle and increasing influence
on American society make
it a favorite topic for news shows.
The Bentonville, Ark., retailer was
the focus of two recent television
documentaries, one on CNBC and
one on PBS's "Frontline."
"From PBS to 'South Park'—it
just shows you how much a part of
the culture we are," says Mona
Williams, vice president of communications
for Wal-Mart.
Some see a cultural chasm at
play in how television depicts the
gargantuan retailer. "People shop
at Wal-Mart because they have low
prices and great selections and poor
people need it, and portraying [the
company] as evil is sort of an elitist
viewpoint," says John Altschuler,
an executive producer on Fox's
"King of the Hill." The show features
a "Megalo Mart" which competes
mercilessly with the small,
neighborhood store where Hank
Hill sells propane and propane accessories.
But "King of the Hill"
doesn't ascribe to the "Wal-Martkilling-
America" viewpoint, Mr.
Altschuler says. It instead focuses
on the frustrations of d ealing with
the giant stores, such as pushing
carts for vast distances, and getting
little help from clerks.
"Without a Trace" set out to
write another kind of social commentary.
An executive producer
says he wanted to address "a larger
issue with corporate America in
general being about their bottom
line and not about protecting their
workers." In the episode in question,
the protagonist can't get

Now Online: Worst Waits at Airports
By SCOTT MCCARTNEY Airport-security checkpoints
haven't created the
gridlock that some
feared-even with new
requirements, such as
taking off all coats and
jackets.
But don't mention that to people
waiting at Fort Lauderdale's Terminal
D. There, the wait at 5 p.m.
on a recent Thursday was 63 minutes.
At Washington's Reagan National
Airport, it took some travelers
59 minutes to get to the front of
the line at 7 a.m. on a recent Monday.
The Transportation Safety Administration
has been under pressure
from frustrated airlines and
passengers alike to cut screening
wait times. While the system is
working fairly well overall, at many
airports, checkpoints simply aren't
able to handle peak periods without
long lines. At some airports, such
as Washington's Dulles and Los Angeles
International's Terminal 1,
some lines stretch out the terminal
doors and onto the sidewalk.
A comprehensive look at airport
security wait times this fall finds
that many travelers still are waiting
45 minutes or more to get
through the screening at peak
times. These findings come from a
search of the TSA's wait-time database
day-by-day, hour-by-hour for
some of the largest U.S. airports,
covering the period of Oct. 12-Nov.
9. In general, the long waits came
early in the morning, when a rush
of travelers hits checkpoints, or late
in the afternoon when another rush
occurs.
The analysis suggests that this
week-with passenger volume
growing and lines being slowed by
the new jacket-removal requirement,
imposed in September after
terrorists in Russia brought down
two flights by hiding bombs in jackets—
some travelers are likely to encounter
nerve-racking waits while
heading home for the holidays.
Fares are low, and so airports are
expected to be crowded for Thanksgiving.
The TSA says that lines at many
airports actually have been getting
shorter, though the agency didn't
have hard numbers to show that nationally.
"We are consistently reducing
wait times at many airports,"
a spokeswoman says.
The TSA posts specific airport
wait times on its Web site,
www.tsa.gov. The data cover a fourweek
period, usually at least a week
old. You can search for both the average
and maximum wait on a specific
hour or a specific day, and see
how each checkpoint at an airport
fared.

health care because the fictional
Every Mart chain doesn't let its employees
work 40 hours a week. As it
happens, Wal-Mart employees who
work 34 hours or more a week are
considered full-time and are offered
health care. Also, hearing aids
aren't typically covered by health
insurance policies. Finally, Wal-
Mart takes issue with the notion
that it exploits the working poor.
"Hourly jobs like those offered
by Wal-Mart and other retail and
service providers are generally not
designed to support a family," says
Ms. Williams, the Wal-Mart official.
"Three-quarters of our workers are
seniors supplementing their income,
students working their way
through school or second-income
providers."
Bob Thompson, director of Syracuse
University's Center for the
Study of Popular Television, says
Wal-Mart is ripe for satire because
it is something everybody can understand.
The best response for the
company, he adds, "is to never address
it directly and pummel the
culture with a completely alternative
vision of themselves."
This is precisely what Wal-Mart
is attempting to do with its recent
barrage of image commercials touting
itself as a good place to work
and a beneficent community citizen.
But according to the sixth annual
survey of corporate reputations
by market researchers Harris
Interactive and the Reputation Institute,
a research organization,
Wal-Mart fell five notches to 28th
place this year.
The company does no advertising
on Comedy Central, but Wal-
Mart's Ms. Williams thinks the
channel's "South Park" was "right
on target" in its episode featuring
"Wall-Mart" Desperate to stop
their town from total collapse, the
main "South Park" characters-
Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartmango
to the store's headquarters to
learn where the heart of Wall-Mart
is so they can kill it. The heart, it
turns out, is a mirror. And the local
store the town decides to support instead
grows from a mom-and-pop to
a Wal-Mart-like behemoth.
"South Park confirmed that the
power behind Wal-Mart is the consumer,"
Ms. Williams says. "Even
if I don't agree with the way they do
things, there is frequently a lot of
truth in their satire."

of 4.6% annually over the past five
years, and expanded cable service
is up more than 7% a year.

and others have pushed the idea of
letting individuals, rather than a
cable operator, decide which networks

But after reviewing more than
400 comments from cable companies,
programmers and consumer
groups, the FCC found that only
consumers who purchase fewer
than nine cable stations would see a

Men's Basketball Team Off To Slow Start
BY RUSSELL HARRIS
Sports Editor
Deacon looks good in UW-Parkside debut
On November 15, at Hillsdale, Michigan, the Rangers came back late from a nine-point
deficit to take a 71-68 lead with two minutes remaining in the game. However, Hillsdale
came back to win, 76-71. The game was tied at halftime, 33-33.The Rangers had four
players finish in double figures.Tyrone Deacon, a freshman point guard, and Michigan
State transfer, scored 18 points in his UW-Parkside debut. Gareth Malkowski, a junior
guard, added 16. Chuck Wesolowski,a junior forward, had 11 points and Brad Ferstenou,
scored four points in his collegiate debut. He played for Burlington High School for four
years. UW-Parkside shot well from beyond the arc, making 9 of 24 three-point attempts.
Deacon and Malkowski both went 4-8 from the three-point line.
Ferstenou and Boutelle Show Promise
On November 20, the UW-Parkside Men's Basketball Team hosted the Concordia Golden
Bears at the DeSimone Gymnasium in their home opener. The Rangers came out cold as
they missed their first nine field goal attempts and continued to shoot poorly in the first
half. Concordia went on to beat the Rangers, 68-56. The Rangers came back and made a
run in this game behind the solid play of a pair of its big men, Brad Ferstenou, a freshman
forward and junior center, Kevin Boutelle. Both of these young men displayed some
ability, but Concordia went on an 8-0 run late in the second half and UW-Parkside missed
four of its shots down the stretch. The Golden Bear's made crucial free throws late in the
game to help secure the win.
Rangers Learn Against UW-Milwaukee
On November 23, the UW-Parkside Men's Basketball Team had another tough challenge.
This time, it was against the UW-Milwaukee Panthers (2-0), a Division I school, and the
Rangers fell short, 87-50. Despite the loss the Rangers learned a lot, as they did playing
against UW-Madison, and played much better than did Division I school Prairie View A
& M, which was defeated by the Panthers, 117-55. Those 117-points scored are the most
UW-Milwaukee has ever scored in a single game! The Rangers trailed 47-21 at halftime,
but were resurgent in the second half and cut the lead down from 26 to 21 points.
However, UW-Milwaukee responded and went on a run of their own and never looked
back. Gareth Malkowski, a junior guard, scored 14 points while Kyle Clark, a freshman
guard, added 13. So the Rangers matched up better than a Division I team did and that
definitely shows a lot of promise for this young, upcoming Ranger team. The Rangers
gain a lot trom facing Division I teams as they are able to see where their weaknesses are
and are able to see what some of their strengths are on the court.
Freshman Clark Makes Prescence Known With 16 Points
On November 26, the men's basketball team traveled to Quincy University in Illinois in
what was both teams Great Lakes Valley Conference season opener. The Rangers trailed
early and never fully recovered taking the loss, 88-74. The Rangers shot 41 percent from
the field while the Quincy Knights shot 64 percent. Kevin Boutelle, a junior center, led
the Rangers in scoring with 17 points. Kyle Clark, a freshman guard, added 16 points
while Michigan State transfer, Tyrone Deacon, a freshman point guard, added 13.
Women's Basketball Team Hits Ground

Sports Editor
Kromm & Weir picking up where they left off last season
On November 16, the UW-Parkside Women's Basketball team played Olivet Nazarene at
DeSimone Gymnasium and won, 90-53. The Lady Rangers started quickly by taking an
early 18-3 lead and never looked back. The Lady Rangers led at halftime, 53-12. Carrie
Weir, a senior guard/forward, had 23 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. Last season,
Weir finished 15th in scoring (13.4 points) and rebounding (6.0) in the Great Lakes
Valley Conference (GLVC). Sammy Kromm, a senior center, added 24 points on 12-15
shooting. She also grabbed 13 rebounds. Kromm was an All-GLVC first-team selection
for the second straight season and was chosen to the NCAA Division II All-Great Lakes
Region Team. It was the first time that a UW-Parkside woman has been presented with
this accolade. Freshman guard, Mackenzie Heise, scored 10 points, displaying some early
season luster.
Lady Rangers get balanced scoring
On November 19, the UW-Parkside Women's Basketball team faced Winona State at the
DeSimones Gymnasium on campus in a non-conference game. Using a run that started
midway during the first half of play, the Lady Rangers won, 66-45. Senior guard/forward,
Carrie Weir, scored 13 out of her 16 points in the second half and UW-Parkside shot well
from the perimeter, which opened up the inside. Sophomore guard, Ashley Ferguson,
scored 12 points and senior center, Sammy Kromm, added 10. Freshman guard, Kim
Murphy, was 5-5 from the field and was 2-2 from the free throw line, which gave her 12
points. The team has now begun to play its Great Lakes Valley Conference games.
Lady Ranger's Defense Plays Role In Loss To Grand Valley
State UW-Parkside loses despite 25 from Kromm
On November 22, the UW-Parkside Women's Basketball Team hosted the Grand Valley
State Lakers in a non-conference game at tire DeSimone Gymnasium and were defeated,
80-67. The Lady Rangers trailed by 12 points at halftime. This was UW-Parkside's final
game before they begin Great Lakes Valley Conference play against the Quincy Lady
Hawks in Illinois. The Lakers shot over 50 percent from the floor. UW-Parkside's senior
center, Sammy Kromm, scored 25 points and added five rebounds. Kromm scored 16 of
her points in the first half. Junior guard, Carrie Schieve, tossed in 20 points, with 14 of
those coming in the second half. Schieve scored 12 of her 17 points in the second half.
UW-Parkside shot over 50 percent from the field in the second half on 15-28 shooting.
However, UW-Parkside was outdone on the boards. But the main factor was the Lady
Rangers' inability to stop the Lakers when they had chances to get back into the game.
Grand Valley State had a 10-point lead and UW-Parkside couldn't cut the gap, allowing

Women's Basketball Team Takes Tough Loss Against Knights
Weir scores 27 points on 13-19 shooting
On November 26, the UW-Parkside Women's Basketball Team played in what was both
teams first Great Lakes Valley Conference season opener at Quincy University in Illinois.
The Lady Rangers played a wonderful first half and held a 30-24 lead at halftime, but the
Knights fought back in the second half regaining the lead and never looked back. The
Lady Rangers were held in check as they only shot 25 percent from the field in the second
half. Senior guard/forward, Carrie Weir, scored 27 points and was 13-19 from the field!
No other UW-Parkside player reached double figures. The Knights won 64-44.

Sports Editor
On November 20, the UW-Parkside Women's
Cross-Country Team went to Indianapolis,
Ind., to compete in the Division II National
Championships. The team was consistent and
took 19th in a field of 24 teams. UW-Parkside's
Emily Junion finished in 104th place with a time
of 24:18 while running the 6,000m course, which
was moist from rain. Michelle Boldon, junior,
ran a time on that course that was a minute better
at 23:15, which put Boldon in 44th place. Tiff
Belongia, junior, had the next best time at 24:28
placing 117th. Heidi Anderson, freshman, and
Naomi Bong, freshman, finished 128th and 142nd
respectively. The Runnin' Rangers had another
terrific season under Head Coach, Mike DeWitt,
and the entire student body and faculty at UWParkside
congratulates them on a job well done!
Next year's team will include many returning
runners including Anderson, Bong, Junion, and
Boldon.

You might be asking yourself why it took me five years to
write this review. Truth is: I never really thought it was worth
it, until finally realizing that I can't go on any longer with my
arms crossed and my eyes closed while Christina and Britney
bombard the airwaves with sh*t. Therefore, I have gathered all
my notes about this band Cafe Tacuba, all that I know about their
1999 release "Reves/Yosoy", and have compiled it into this teeny
article, which I hope, pays them the homage they well deserve.
Fact is that even though this album is about five years old,
no other band has come out with anything comparable to it; there
isn't one band I can think of that has the creativity and the chops
that these guys have, (The Flaming Lips, The Roots, and Outkast
come close.)
To say that Cafe Tacuba is amazing would be an
understatement. In today's world, freedom of creativity in music
comes with a price: not making it in the mainstream. It's no
wonder that American bands don't have the mentality or the balls
to make an album like this; Seems that British rockers are the
only ones who have caught on to the trend. The Beatles did it and

ABCB • Good, Clean Fun
It is often said that there isn't much to do in Racine
and Kenosha Counties for college students besides bar hopping
or house partying. It is unfortunately pretty true. But slowly
businesses have been opening up which offer entertainment for
students who are either too young to get into bars, or are just not
into the drinking scene.
In Racine, ABCB Cafe, named after a real tea house
in Japan that shows family-style anime, has opened up as an
answer to the "what do you want to do tonight" dilemma. ABCB
is a privately owned cafe at 322 6th St. (corner of 6th Street
and College Avenue) in the Downtown Racine Art District.
They feature live bands, poetry jams, open mic nights, anime
showings on their projection screen, and other entertainment
which encourages young and "old" alike to join together
and have a good time while bypassing expensive alcoholic
beverages and the undesirable side effects.
In addition to being a great place to have fun on
weekend nights, it is open all week and provides a calming
atmosphere conducive to studying and conversing on any level

Women's Center, Black Student Union focus on Hip Hop
and the Representation of Gender
od
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR
Professor Katherine Gregory asked
students to ask themselves how social
inequalities reproduce themselves, in an open
discussion on women and hip-hop November
17inMolinaro 105.
Gregoiy's power point presentation,
entitled "Gender and Hip Hop Culture"
evaluated the passivity of US consumers
- specifically students who've matured
immersed in hip-hop.
"I'm not proclaiming a truth here,"
Gregoiy qualified. "I'm saying it's an issue
we need to take a look at."
She posed questions to the audience
relating to the function and mediation of
social power along gender lines, emphasizing
that masculinity and femininity are social
constructions.
Pointing to the "cool posturing" and
hyper-libido of rappers like 50 Cent and Jay-
Z, the backgrounding of women as sexual
props, as well as the discrete presentation of
marijuana as a "symbol of pleasure, alternative
economy and social interaction," Gregoiy
wondered whether this was either a reflection
of, or a projection upon, public life.
She asserted that often the mass media
outlets and audio-video production labels
broadcast images of women of leisure.
"Empowered" women are usually presented
outside of the domestic sphere. Gender
bending sometimes occurs when images of
women dressed in male attire produce an
aesthetic of power, she suggested.
A number of students sat as panel
members, though the distinction between
panel and audience - like the line between
subject and object, as Gregoiy asserted
- blurred.
"I just watch [the videos] for what
they are: entertainment." one young man
said. "Besides, some of these cats - they're
acting like gangstas ... they ain't gangstas.
The president, now he's a gangsta."
Other students however, seemed to be
in strong opposition.
"You can see Kanye [West] rapping
about how he dropped out of college, and
kids see that. They know." one young
woman said fervently, continuing, "Then
they think, 'Oh, I can drop out of college
and make it big as a rapper, 'cause Kanye
did it.' People in the public eye need to set
better examples for the youth."
One student, Quiana Jennings, thought
that it was important for parents to spend
time discussing these issues with their
children.
PSGA Women's Issues coordinator
Katie Smith agreed. In a discussion
on WIPZ's Arts and Culture Diversity
Supplement "Air Conditioning," she said,
"There's a certain hierarchy imposed that
maintains those constructions."
She pointed out that, across the nation,
women make an average of 73 cents to the
male dollar. And that women make up 70
percent of all global poverty.
"But it's not so much a 'women's'
issue as it is a human issue. Men and
women should be concerned about these
things," she advocated.
In her presentation on November
17, Katherine Gregoiy explained that
the contradictions we consume might be
viewed as a locus of ideological straggle
for working out the issues of sexism, racism
and classism - as well as formulating
resistance to the dehumanizing aspects of
cultural commodification.
Perhaps the moral is that by simply
recognizing the distance between what is
represented (either glorified or belittled)
by the media and the reality of our own
fives and communities, we would initiate
a modest erosion of the social constraints
that choke self-determination. Long
story short? Too late for that: Question
consumption. bonJOURNallSM: Putting the "Anal" Back into Analysis
BY RICHARD STANZ
Not only the dignity of our American madness and stiff dysfunction
of idiom recede from view; but facts remain supine,
dead weight.
There's a conversation going on about the determination of
sexuality through political party preference: Gay Republicans?
I think that people have the right to petition the revision of
public norms. We've met the Canadians and are fully aware of
their nationality.
Most of our words get spent like our money. You can't say,
"God, on Nickelodeon. Metaphor by metaphor, science makes
funerals.
There is despondency in the voice of the television. I've been
tiying to place that smell.
The television spit back Hook: "You need a mother veiy veiy
badly."
Why doesn't gov't have not-for profit status? Questioning is
the first step toward reproduction.
"The individual's mind is the epitome of justice," she continued.
"No wait, erase that." Rumor is that one of us went AWOL.
"I won't regrei you." is the best thing anyone can say. Just accept
people for what We am. So, who's in charge? Notice quotes
for time gaps.
The living function of obesity is to tend toward definition. A
sit-com glows, yet we're still broke.
She flipped her hair and abandoned her lips. Decontextualize
an image of idealization yourself in police scanner karma.
One-eight-seven on your knee-high 'do. By closing site progress,
you disinvite loss advance. Thank goodness for properly.
I think I know what you might be saying: "It's all garbled. I
can understand it but I can't understand it." Well, what do you
mean? Conversation is a form of commerce, and this is NOT
your filibuster.
Dialogue can't be impractical. There is always a furor over
love. Let fear and faith be considerate: think. Historical contexts
dissected, nothing appears to change much about politics.
Morality can do that: integrity, monogamy, problem solving.
I'm paraphrasing, of course. Do not be failed by representation.
Everyone desires life. Why gov't but function? (We will see
ourselves in entropy.) Every complex is particular. Who could
know you without fame? We do because we like to feel normal.

Sixteen fragged." (O Nostalgia,

Political action reacts too, so get
serious. "On a drive away from the
teetering question maik, we became
jilted." If you want to assert your
perspective, go on ahead, homey. No
disagreement without penetration.
It's all tiddlywinks. I assert complication.
"Is that Karl with a C or Cad

UW-Parkside is advertised
as one of the most diverse of the UW
system campuses, with a moderately
sized international student population
and a number of students from a variety
of other ethnic, cultural and linguistic
backgrounds.
Englishis notthe only language
being spoken on campus. Walking the
halls from Union to Comm. Arts, one
can hear various dialects of Spanish,
Arabic, Malayalan, Japanese, German
and myriad other idioms. However, all
of the classes here require
that papers and homewoik
be written in English.
The Tutoring
Center is developing
Writing English as A Second
Language (WESL) initiative
to meet the academic needs
of UW-Parkside's diverse
population. The program
consists of tutors with a

linguistic backgrounds assisting
other students with their study and
English skills.
Issam Ismaili, a tutor and
native speaker of Arabic, said,
When a student who comes from
different country or who speaks
another language is trying to write a
different paper, they try to translate
their ideas from one language to
another. That's really difficult."
Ismaili remembered being in a
similar situation, and said that he
wishes he would've had something
like the WESL program available
to him.
Another tutor, Natalie
Dunton, said, "If you can speak the
same language as another person,
that only helps. It's a common
element in expressing thought in
the 'proper' English manner. But
it's not a one-way street." She
suggested that there are things to
be learned by both the tutor and the
person being tutored.
Jacquely n Haley -Renauld,
coordinator of tutoring in the
Learning Support and Student
Support Services, supports the
students and the tutors in thenproject.
"It's really about giving
students ownership of their ideas in
a different language."
Academic Advisor and
professor Theron Snell commented
that, in many cases, there is a kneejerk
reaction among professors to
diagnose writing issues as an ESL
problem.
Snell, who wrote the article
"Academic Adjustment: Beyond
Language," and was published in
The Advising Quarterly's summer
2001 issue reminded, "You have a
set of values that are embedded in
language and in culture. That's not
to say that students don't struggle
with language."
"But it may be more
of a cross-cultural issue,' he
went on, "That accompanies
or is accompanied by language
difficulties. ESL can tend to be a
sort of surface reaction."
He quoted Milton Bennet,
a cross-cultural communications
"guru" as saying, "You can be a
fluent fool," going on to mention,
"Grammar organizes the way you
look at the world. It's a lens you have
to master. It's not simply learning a
language. But there are people out
there (...) who think, 'Ya gotta lurn
inlish good.' It's my contention that
there are some language issues, but
that ESL might be a quick gloss over
a more complex of an issue."
"None of this says that ESL
classes or programs are bad," he
continued, "But seting up a program
like that will require professionals
in the field."
Snell's article suggests that
focus on the learning process itself
is fundamental to many students'
(and teachers') difficulties. He
argues that as students begin to use
different "methodologies, they stop
defining the professor's role as that
source of the right answer and more
as a guide or partner in the learning
process.
"They stop looking for
the right answer and focus more
upon the reasoning involved. They
become central in their own learning
process [and] cross cultures in the
way they study as well as in the way
they use the material. They move
beyond language."
If students were to demand
this sort of comprehensive support
from administration, Snell thinks
that it would "require a sizeable
commitment of resources."
The program that the
Tutoring Center has in place utilizes
existing tutors as a supplement to
students' curriculum, according to
director Haley-Renauld.

You know what always makes me crazy? The fact that half the
time I go to Java Coast before my 10 a.m. philosophy class they
are out of coffee. What's up with that? I go there to get my "pick
me up'" coffee so I can stay awake in class and all that's left is a
half cup or decaf. Who wants decaf coffee? What's the point? It
doesn't wake you up. It doesn't make you more alert. All I want is
a cup of regular coffee. Is that too much to ask?

While I understand the importance that a well-rounded education
carries in today's social and economic environment, I'd like to
take a chance to rail the university for its institutionally. Let it be
known that I hold no grudge against any individual of the system;
however I find its rhetorical posture of generality in numerous
policies (29,49, and 43 come to mind) absolutely useless. I
wish that PSGA, Student Union and Facilities would organize
themselves to demand more intellectual and academic integrity
from the bureaucratic structure we, by proxy, must work under.
—Anonymous
After recently visiting the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay
campus, the lack of care for the environment my fellow UWParkside
students show has become blatantly apparent. I went to
throw away some trash after lunch in Green Bay and after peering
into the trash and recycling containers I realized that everything
that could be in a recycling container was in one. When I look
into the recycling containers here at Parkside or when I watch
someone throw away their trash here, veiy rarely do I see them
take advantage of the recycling containers. I just wish that since
they are already provided for us and since they are right next
to the waste containers that Parkside students would take some
responsibility upon themselves and use them.
—Conscious Student
I have a new idea for Parkside Activities Board. Since it's rare
that more that 12 people ever show up to any of their events,
they should make their job as an organization on campus to set
up events for other student organizations. They could be event
specialists, so that when PSGA or WIPZ has an idea for an event,
they could send it to PAB, and PAB could put their hard work into
programmrng and publicity for all student orgs, not just random
events that they put on.

There is often much debate
about opinions and editorials
in newspapers. Most
publications have the desire
to remain as objective and
unbiased as possible. So how
can opinions and editorials
be accepted in news? They can't. That said, it
is not unreasonable to have a separate section,
away from the news and strictly factual reporting
of any publication, that puts out opinions and
editorials. Almost every newspaper does it,
including what is arguably the most responsible
and most well-respected newspaper in the world:
The New York Times.
More debate comes into play when
a person raises the question of a newspaper's
objectivity. While the question is valid, it
must be understood where the opinions and
editorials are found in the publicatioa Facts
are facts, so if a writer is reporting news,
then his or her comments have no place in
the story. But if it is an opinion column,
then obviously that is exactly why the
reader is reading it; to hear a perspective on
a certain subject.
Responsible writers (and I would venture
to say only responsible writers are hired for
opinion and editorial columns) will expose
all parts of what they argue, explaining why
they take the stance they do. An opinion
column that is one sided and only written
for the writer's agenda will only make the
reader roll his or her eyes. But a writer who
is exposing all parts of what any reasonable
human could connect with is a writer who
can make people think. That is the idea,
anyway.
Opinions & Editorials
By Preston Brown
Having an opinion section
in a newspaper can be helpful
when used correctly, but most
of the time it serves as a forum
for rants that end up the same
place they begin, simply being
complaints.
Do such forums have a place in
journalism? Historically yes, but that doesn't
necessarily make them a good idea.
We often see people writing in to
newspapers to vent about issues that have been
bothering them, while little else is done to act
on what they are complaining about. Although
this is not always the case, we usually see
somebody drunk with the power of print,
trying to impress their own personal agenda on
others. Does that sound like journalism? Well,
not to me.
Journalism is suppose to be an objective
observation of something that is or has
occurred. It is usually relevant to a
community or specific group of people
whose interests are kept in mind and
represented.
Although opinions have their place
in the world, it doesn't seem like it lies in
the realm of facts. Possibly in a magazine
or online, but certainly not with credible
news.
Everybody needs a forum to vent
their frustrations, with this I agree, but not
with the credible news stories. Although
it is ultimately up to the readers to decide
what they want to read and where, I'd
like to think that the novelty of listening
to complaints has worn off in this society.
Since this article is nothing more then an
opinion in itself, I can safely say that I
might be wrong.

"Cafe Tacuba" cont. from p. 11
so did The Who; most recently, Radiohead, Blur, and Coldplay. But, when Cafe
Tacuba, clearly the best rock band in the history of Mexico, became bored with
their old pencils, they didn't hesitate to reinvent their music by picking up pens.
They decided to lock themselves up in a secret location in Mexico City, where,
for many days and nights, they challenged their creativity by playing weird music
they enjoyed. The demos turned out to be ridiculously awesome, and though they
had not been intended for release, the record label convinced the four young men
to attach them in a separate disc to their already poppy disc of songs, resulting in
"Reves/Yosoy" ("Backwards/1 Am.")
Thank goodness for their release, for the final outcome was like a coin with
two similar sides, intriguing, competitive, and certainly one of the most exciting
albums of the last 30 years. And with that said, you are now asking yourself,
"What do I care about a Spanish speaking band?" Don't be a close-minded
weenie: "Oh, I don't like mariachi." "I'd rather listen to the good singers like
Shakira and Ricky." Well, fine, be that way, but keep in mind that you're missing
out on The Beatles of your generation. They've played the Conan O'Brien
show, written about in the New York Times, and even Madonna tried signing
them to her label. Not good enough? Well perhaps looking into the future might
help. When future generations (your grandchildren) come to you seeking the
knowledge of Cafe Tacuba, you'll have to sigh and blush as you tell them that
you were too busy listening to Eminem and Nelly. My point is: these guys aren't
just good, they are really good, and to go on living without ever giving this band
an opportunity to rock your headphones- a pity.
About the albums: Yosoy, though full of pop lyrics and melodies, is in
no way simple, as Joselo Rangel's voice seeps into your skin and flails away
with snaky melodies. This guy gives you absolutely everything, from valor
to wisdom. But it's Reves that proves you are in the presence of greatness.
Definitely the more interesting of the two albums, it takes your ears into a valley
of unimaginable sounds. The minute you hear the 5/4 stomp of the opening song,
you know you are in for a treat. With the help of the Kronos Quartet sawing away
at dissonant metal and surf guitar sounds, it won't be long before you submit to
these math-rock geniuses.
Well, there you have it folks. Cafe Tacuba might only sell 40,000 copies of
this album (which is undeistandable in the world that we live today, where good
music gets sh*t wages and sh*t music goes gold), but if you are lucky enough to
get your hands on a copy of this album, even if you burn it from a friend, beware
that it may never leave your CD player.

The State #1 News Source For
Parkside Students
A recent report done by the Associated Press concluded that
The State is the number one news source for Parkside students.
When interviewed, local students seemed to echo the report,
praising The States objective reporting.
"It's just a good place to get my news," says student
Brent Chadworth. "They recently had a story that claimed that
Walmart still sucked. I might have actually gone to shop at
Walmart, but thanks to The State, I know it still sucks."
The State's editors could not be reached for comment,
but their answering machine message stated...
Hello. You've reached the National Warlock hotline.
For general information on warlocks, press 1. For information
on ritual sacrifices, press 2. To perform a ritual sacrifice over
the phone, press 3. If you've stumbled across this number accidentally,
press 4, and feel the full force of our wrath. To join
the National Association of Warlocks, press 5. If you're already
a member, and have recently had your membership revoked due
to abuse of power, press 6 thrice. For other inquiries, hang up
now, and we'll contact you telepathically.
The State, founded by outcast monks, has been in print
since 1849, and before that was only available by spoken word,
passed down orally from generation to generation, whereby stories
and articles were sung in a Chaucerian-like verse.

State Loses To Ranger In
Dodgeball Tournament
In a surprising upset Thursday afternoon, The Ranger
defeated The State in the first annual Parkside
Student Media Tournament Of Champions. The battle
for the coveted title, consisting of three, no-holdsbar
games of dodge ball, the first team to win two
games crowned champion, was both close and brutal.
The first game was taken by The Ranger.
"A combination of teamwork and cheating led them
to this win," said State writer John Pagac. Editor in
Chief of The Ranger Henry Gaskins reported The
State to be "sore losers" in this bout.
The second game of this glorious event was
easily taken by The State. When asked about the
win, Andy McDonald of The State, credited it to the
abundant use of witchcraft. "Remember, we're warlocks,"
said McDonald.
The third game, however, was much more
gruesome. Limbs were detached, blood was spilled.
The Ranger won this game by technical default.
Most members of team Ranger were not able to
"walk away" when the game was concluded.
However, two-thirds of The State disappeared into
thin air.
Preston Brown, Assistant Editor for The
Ranger was quoted to say, "One minute they were
there and the next — GONE!" The remaining members
of The State strolled casually off the court, thus
allowing The Ranger to be considered victorious.

Despite Unbelievably Low Prices, Wal-Mart Still Sucks
BENTONVILLE. BEN I ONVILLE, AAKK -- DDeessnpiiftee iittss: rrPempuiftaattiiAonn ff/%or* \£ • . r t . ....
prices far below those of competitors, Wal-Mart still
sucks, sources indicate. Recent studies have shown
that while the public is outraged with Wal-Mart's
business practices concerning labor and ethics, its
low, low prices are too tempting to ignore.
"I heard that, like, Wal-Mart forces kids to
work in sweatshops in Bangladesh or something,"
said one campus student while shopping for clothes.
"I mean, look at this - fifteen bucks for a pair of
pants. Even though some twelve-year-old in
Honduras probably sewed it together at the crack of
a whip in an unventilated warehouse, it's like half as
much as I would pay at Sears."
Polls show that Americans are vaguely
aware of the ethical questions raised by Wal-Mart's
practices, but continue shopping there anyway
Richard Collins, a Federal Human Rights
Investigator, spoke Thursday on the issue. "Wal-
Mart has factories on the Island if Saipan in the
Mariana Islands, which is technically a U.S.
Commonwealth," said Collins. "This way, they can
say their products are made in the USA... however,
they don't have to follow minimum-wage laws.
This allows them to maintain their standard of providing
hard-working American families with the
goods they need at prices they can afford."
Not only does Wal-Mart obtain products
through cruel child labor, but the mere presence of a
Wal-Mart store in a town is enough to drive out
local business.
"Yeah, it's been real hard getting along
since I lost my job at the shoe store," said Duncan
Greeber, currently unemployed. "Pretty much the
only way I get by is by taking advantage of the
insanely affordable products offered by the local
Wal-Mart. On the fixed income of federal unemployment
checks, I would never have survived had it
not t *3n for Wal-Mart. Of course, I wouldn't have
lost my job, either. God bless you, Sam Walton!"
Dorm Room Playboy Poster
Angled Perfectly Over Bed
Chuck Dobber, resident of Parkside's dormitories,
has angled a poster featuring Playboy playmate
Colleen Marie perfectly over his bed.
"It's really amazing," says Dobber. "I
didn't use a level or a right angle or anything
It's almost as if it was meant for this angled
ceiling."
The poster, given to the UW sophomore
as an early Christmas gift, features Marie
spread-eagle on a bed, wearing a red, Santa
Claus hat and nothing else.
"The poster just brings a little
Christmas cheer to the room," says Dobber. "I
would have hung it up in September, but it
would have just seemed out of season."
Disneyland Secedes From Earth
Michael Eisner, CEO of Disney announced
Disneyland's secession from the planet Earth last week.
Twenty-three international Disneyland locations,
including the largest Disneyland, located outside Lagos,
Nigeria, activated their gravitic thrusters, boosting
themselves into orbit, permanently separating themselves
from the planet Earth. As the Disneylands
reached the upper atmosphere, they joined, forming
Mega-Disneyland.
In his speech, Michael Eisner stated, "Too long
has the 'fun' of Disneyland been weighed down by the
tyranny of gravity! Beginning today, all fun will be
amplified by several orders of magnitude! Today, I
present to you the new home of Mickey Mouse -
Asteroid M!"
The announcement was followed by a buffet of
copyright lawyers from several competing entertainment
companies.
John Ashcroft Resigns, Forms
'John Ashcroft Experience"
WASHINGTON, D.C. - John Ashcroft announced his resignation as
Attorney General of the United States November 9th, stirring the political
community. In a related move, Ashcroft announced the formation of
his new band, "The John Ashcroft Experience," sending tremors through
the music community.
"Mr. Ashcroft felt as though he had fulfilled the duties imparted
to him, as there have been no terrorist attacks in the United States since
September 11, 2001," said a high-ranking federal official. "However, he
feels as though his responsibilities in the field of Rock have not yet been
carried out."
During his resignation speech, Ashcroft mentioned that the
resigning Secretary of Commerce Don Evans approached him with the
idea of forming a band together, "The Ashcroft-Evans Project," but was
shut down on the basis that Evans just didn't have the "attitude."
Upon finishing his speech, Ashcroft motioned to an aide, who
tossed him his trademark Tornado Red axe. He then tore his shirt off
and proceeded to rock out for the next forty minutes.

Bathroom Stop Turns Into Father/Son Chat
BEAVER CITY, UT - Sometimes good things do
come to those who can't hold it any longer.
It started off a regular Tuesday as Jared
Doff picked up his son, Chris, from school and
drove out to their house in the country. This
Tuesday, though, the same old routine turned into
something magical. It began as a simple bathroom
stop -- an event that would turn out to be one of
the most enriching experiences of Chris and
Jared's lives.
Chris and Jared live in the outskirts of
Beaver City ("Technically Bone Valley," remarks
Jared), a short ways away from the impressive
Tushar Mountains. Usually, the rugged beauty of
these peaks was ignored during Chris's daily commute
to and from Beaver City. However, halfway
home on Tuesday, Chris complained that he had to
go to the bathroom. "I was a little upset at first,"
said Jared. "Why didn't the kid go to the bathroom
at school? But then I relented. A kid's gotta
pee when a kid's gotta pee, right?"
The only place to stop was a small state
park with a 'scenic view' of the mountains and
two porta-potties at the entrance. Jared watched
his son enter one of them, and while waiting,
decided that he, too, had to 'take a dump.' It was
then that the magical moment happened. "I said
to dad: 'that was a cool view when we got in here,
huh?"' said Chris. "And then we just started talking."
One thing led to another, and before
long, Chris had told his father about everything
that had been happening at school, something he
"never does," according to Jared. Jared even
managed to talk a little bit about his work as a
welder at Consolidated Construction, Inc.
When the two of them got out of their
porta-potties, they turned and looked at the breathtaking
view behind them, and then set off towards
the horizon. Jared recollects: "The thing is, I
can't really ever remember stopping there before.
It's funny - I've spent my life in that area but
never really saw it."
"I never expected to spend so much time
together!" exclaimed Chris. "It's amazing how
being side by side while taking a dump brings
people closer." The two of them talked about life
and death, love, hope, the future, and returned
several hours later as the sun was setting. They
were exhausted, but happy. "It's a good thing we
both had to do number two," added Jared.
"Otherwise we wouldn't have bonded."
CORRECTIONS
We here at The State sometimes make mistakes. * We
would like to correct the following mistakes...
In our last issue, we mistakenly
spelled the word defecate...
D-E-F-I-C-A-T-E
We're sorry, the actual spelling
should have been...
S-H-l-T
Last issue, we included a footnote
suggesting that The State does not
make mistakes. The footnote
. should have been in bold. Sorry.
*The State does not. make mistakes.
In issue 3, we implied that there
was a direct relationship between
reading The State and acquiring
millions of dollars. This should
have been printed in issue 1.
Last issue. The State was printed
on recycled newspaper. It has
always been our goal to print The
State on sheets of endangered sea
otter skin. We apologize.
A Brief Word For The Not-Too-Terribly-Bright
Here's the thing. The State isn't what most would consider - oh, what's
the word? - real. While we do deal with real-life people, places, and
events, the quotes and stories included in this publication are purely fictional.
If you knew this already, kudos to you, citizen. If not... well, college
isn't necessarily for everyone.
Satan Cleans Up Act, Works In Soup Kitchen
R. Mephistopheles, chief of Public Relations for
Hell, Inc. called a press conference yesterday to
point out that their controversial founder and
CEO, Dr. S. Lucifer had recently turned over a
new leaf.
"We here at Hell realize that public perception
of our organization has, in the past, been
tainted by Dr. Lucifer's reputation and 'bad boy'
image. I am here to tell you that Dr. Lucifer has
recognized the folly of his ways and has, over the
past two years, sucessfully completed a full course
of rehabilitation for several painful addictions, and
has now moved on to helping those less fortunate
than himself. So, without further ado, I would
like to present to you the new and improved Dr.
Satan Lucifer!"
Mr. Mephistopheles then led reporters on
a short walk to a nearby Salvation Army soup
kitchen. Dr. Lucifer stood behind the counter
serving up generous portions of minestrone for the
homeless and destitute.
Shortly after reporters arrived, the soup
grew cold, due to a malfunctioning hot plate. Dr.
Lucifer then demonstrated the scientific expertise
which earned him his multiple honorary doctorates
with a jerry-rigged repair job so effective that
Martha Sweeney, the head cook said, "It was like
magic! That hot plate's never worked this good!
Now if only I co uld get it to cool down a bit...."
In a brief lull, Dr. Lucifer delivered a
statement to the gathered press, saying, "I realized
one day as I laid in a pool of my own vomit, that
not only were my drunken, drugged-out orgies
ruining the company's image, they weren't bringing
me any satisfaction anymore. It's the law of
diminishing returns, I really believe that. I had
reached the point where there was no carnal peasure
I hadn't explored, and I just had a profound
ennui at the thought of another acid trip or wild
orgy. It was just... it was an epiphany. I said to
myself, 'you've tried everything for yourself,
maybe it's time to think about someone else.' So I
did. I gave it all up and it's just been the most
wonderful thing."
H. Jehovah, president of Heaven, LLC,
Hell's primary competitor, said late last night, "I
want to caution the public that Dr. Lucifer has
years of experience in deception. Remember
Milton's Paradise Lost? This [obscenity deleted]
is why you people are here today! He's why you
sad bags of flesh are burdened with the weight of
sin! That twerp had the gall to challenge me!
God! You don't do that and get away with it!
Your uppance will come, Lucifer, I swear." Mr.
Jehovah was then carried off by a flock of interns.
By the end of the day, Hell, Inc. stock
had tripled, to a value of $46.73 per share, and
analysts expect a two for one split early today.
The State Fills Leftover
Layout Space With Enlarged,
Meaningless Drivel
So anyway, there's this robot I know who is always
going on and on about robot politics. It's usually when
I'm trying to eat lunch, which seems rude and inappropriate.
Not that I don't sympathize. Robots have gotten a
bad rap lately, especially since the introduction of hyperrobots.
I mean, why on Earth would you want a regular
robot when you can get a hyper one?
Hyper-robots perform needed tasks at nearly double
the speed of an ordinary robot. They're equipped
with tools that had not even been conceived of when regular
robots were first developed. And not only are they
programmed to feel love, but they can cry synthetic tears,
making them the perfect companion for human beings
everywhere.
Robot unemployment has skyrocketed in these
past few years. Robots have to provide for their robot
children and what are they supposed to do, you know?
My robot friend complains that there aren't enough government
programs aimed at helping robots. I feel for the
guy, but, then again, I'm a hyper-robot.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear The State,
I recently stumbled across The State (hehe...don't worry, my toe
is okay), and I was intensely struck by your potential! (hehe... don't
worry, it didn't hurt) A comedic-.«arire of the state of the world (hehe...
get the pun?), for students! The only thing you guys are lacking is comedy.
And satire. Your humor is mediocre at best. But then I thought of the
perfect way to fix that! Here it is: I'll come write for you!
Think of it! Think of the things we could accomplish! With my
talent, and your print medium, we could rule the literary world! I'd even
be willing to drop out of school for you - just like Steve Jobs did at
Harvard. How would you like to be the next Apple? Or John Romano,
joining ID! We'd become legends of the industry! So, what do you say?
Let me write for you. Let me be your Romano.
Passionately,
Bob Mureale
Dear Reader,
We value our readers' submissions. Getting
new ideas keeps us fresh, or at least going for another
two weeks. It keeps us from curling up into the
fetal position and crying ourselves to sleep.
If you've got ideas, write those ideas down,
fold those ideas up, and place those ideas into a
stamped envelope. Make sure that the envelope is
closed securely, to ensure that your ideas don't fall
out when you tear them up and toss them into the
garbage.
Sincerely yours,
The State* -

POINT CROSSFIRE COUNTERPOINT
I'm A Warlock
By Lenny Tweater
Student, 5-Time Juggling Champion
It's true! I am a warlock. I practice witchcraft, I perform ritual sacrifices,
and if you can name a person at this university, chances are
I've cursed them for something!
Let me give you some background. Since humans first walked the Earth, my warlock
ancestors and I have followed closely behind, maiming and killing those humans. Are
we proud of this? Not really. It's just the natural order of things. We kill humans.
Humans kill cows. Cows kill us. It's a vicious cycle. You might ask, "How can such a
powerful species be so powerless against bovine?"
Shut up! You should know that I eat human souls! Watch your tongue!
Anyway, I only practice about 3 or 4 times a week, because I'm dealing with a
part-time job at the nursing home and a full load of classes in my Conflict Resolution
major. I'm also writing a book on how to win the lotteiy. Now, granted, I have never won
the lottery, but I was at the bookstore, and seeing that there were no books on winning the
lottery, I decided I would write one.
Yes, I suppose I could use my vast knowledge of witchcraft to bend the lottery
odds in my favor, but that would be dishonest. One thing that we warlocks pride ourselves
on is our honesty. That and our ability to level whole towns by invoking the powers of the
Dark Lord.
Don't get me wrong. I have no "beef with humans. Heh-heh. Did you catch
that? No "beef? Little cow humor th - there aren't any cows around, are there? I should
probably keep my voice down. That's the price you pay for living in Wisconsin as a warlock.
Those cows are merciless killers. We have to be careful.
Wait! Shh... there are some cows now. I have to get outta here. You never spoke
to me, understand? If I hear one word about this, everyone in your family grows a third
leg. You got me? Good day.
No, You're Not
By Willard Crenshaw
Ride Pimper
You say you're a warlock. This is not a thoroughly impossible
proposition. I say this because I have, in my time, known several
warlocks, and am currently on good terms with four of them.
Five if you count Gaspar (who currently resides only on the ethereal plane). You're no
warlock.
Warlock ancestors? Dude, you're not a warlock. It is clear to me that you are
not a warlock. Not because of your evident lack of dedication, or your foolish choice in
higher education. What would drive you to attend a public university ~ and as a conflict
resolution major? Warlocks begin conflicts. They resolve nothing! There is no resolution,
unless you count the collecting of corpses. Even then, everyone knows warlocks
don't perform manual labor. Warlocks do not collect corpses!
Then you say you can invoke the powers of the Dark Lord? No. You can't.
How do I know? Because I do, that's how. You just can't.
It is obvious that you are not a warlock. Not because you are attempting to win
the lottery - when the warlock knows that money is nothing compared to magick. It is
not even because of your pathetic attempt to write a book on a topic you know nothing
about.
I say that you are not a warlock because you are an idiot.
Yes, I said it. You clearly have no right to the oxygen you apparently forget to
breath. So, when a real warlock shows up at your house, brandishing powers beyond
your imagination, ready to heave corpses to and fro with no intention of ever picking
them up, just remember me, and what I said today.

At this point, it's safe to assume
every one will be voting on November
2nd ~ correct? Okay, awesome. P.
Diddy and Jennifer Aniston are proud of
you. This will happen on the following
day: One of the candidates will have
won, a large portion of us will have lost
a topic to drunkenly debate, and (yes
it's true,) life will go on. Some of us
will keep our bumper stickers — some
of us will have to break out the Goo-
Gone. I'm getting to the point here.
Now, I'm probably the furthest thing
from a political science major - but I'm
going to conclude that the President for
the next four years won't drastically
change our everyday lives. So go ahead
and direct your attention to something
that will.
The issue I'm going to explain needs
to be recognized by the young voters,
because it will affect them more than
anyone. Kenosha's oh-so-lovely lawns
have slowly filled with support for and
against the issue that I've yet to hear
any students speak about. Taking
into account the perfectly-groomed
yards now stabbed with cheapo signs,
these homeowners must be awful
passionate about this cause they're
advertising. Which one, you ask? The
proposed casino. The red "Yes Jobs,
Yes Casino!" signs are everywhere,
and 1 know you've all noticed the
"It's all about GREED!" billboards.
Knowing nothing of the issue at the
time, 1 giggled when I saw it for the
first time; imagining the whole casino
idea had struck a moral chord with our
church-going residents — the whole
"gambling is wrong" / seven deadly
sins thing. Anyway, 1 was wrong.
I've since found that many opposed
to the casino are in no way opposed
to gambling; this issue runs far deeper
and dirtier than any of that silliness. As
October draws to a close, we're seeing

the Kenosha News and local TV &
radio stations cover this topic on a near
daily basis — but again, you'd have to
be totally engulfed to understand what
they're speaking about. I have turned
into a nerd researching this thing ...so
I'll put my nerdiness to good use and
lay it out.
The pro-casino argument: We'll get
much-needed jobs, entertainment, and
tourist dollars. Jobs and money - what
could be better, right? Those opposed
would have to be the anti-jobs/money/
fun committee. Well, it's not that
simple ...though 1 w ish it was. The
best way to put it? We'll be getting
a giant McDonalds, one that would
offer nearly 3.000 positions. The highpaying
positions obviously filled by
those in the tribe itself, we Kenoshans
should be vers7 excited about fantastic
careers in cashier & custodial fields.
Tourist dollars? Let's be honest here:

Letter From the Editor
Greetings, and thanks yet again for
reading the current issue of UW-Parkside's
student newspaper. So far, it has been a pleasure
trying to provide our local community with
news, sports, and entertainment. I feel like we've
come a long way since I first started working for
The Ranger News, but the publication industry
is always involves an uphill battle because
you're always trying to improve and outdo your
previous issues.
People often point out mistakes they find
to fne or give me suggestions on what could
have been better, and 1 love it. i appreciate all
the critiquing I can obtain and vow to use it to
improve in anyway 1 can. But 1 also want our
readers to know that we work on each issue right
up until the deadline, finding whatever errors we
can and fixing them. When the deadline comes,
we have to be done, errors or not.
To me, the newspaper is sort of an art.
I once heard that a great painter would never
be done with his painting, because there would
always be something he would want to change,
because the art was a constant work in progress.
But just as a painter has to eventually put down
his paintbrush and move onto the next campus,
when our deadline comes we have to move to
print and start thinking about the next issue.
On a different note, I am truly excited
about this current issue. When was the last time
anyone has heard of a 28-page issue of The
Ranger News? Well, with open arms we have
welcomed the Satirical Writers Guild to provide
a much needed humor section to the newspaper.
In this issue and all following issues (hopefully),
you will find The State, written, edited, and
designed by the Satirical Writers Guild. They
come up with great stuff so I hope you give it a
read and let us know what you think.
Have a great couple weeks, and you'll
hear from me again when we know who the
president will be for the next four years.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" Turns Up The Heat at UWP
BY NATALIE STOLLENWERK
On October 7, the Humanities
Steering Committee sponsored a panel
discussion titled "Michael Moore vs.
George W. Bush: 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and
the 2004 Election." The subject of the
discussion was the film "Fahrenheit
9/11," the controversial documentary
by filmmaker Michael Moore, which
was released in theaters earlier this
year and recently on video October 5.
According to Dr. Mary Leonard, the
purpose of the discussion was, "to have
an open, but civilized discussion of the
controversies that the film raises."
The format of the discussion was
for each member of the panel to discuss
his or her area of insight and then the
discussion was openeduptotheaudience
to ask questions to the panel members
or comment on their own perception of
the film. Leonard acted as moderator of
the discussion. The panel consisted of
Professors Ed Schmitt, Jay McRoy and
Anne Gurnack, as well as the president
of the Parkside Studeni Government
Association, Chris Semenas. Each
member of the panel offered important
insight as to different ways in which
the film "Fahrenheit 9/1T" has affected
our society. Professor Schmitt gave the
audience some historical background on
the media's influence on elections and
politics in the past. Schmitt informed
the audience that Moore's style of
documentary filmmaking could be
compared to the "muckraking tactics"
of the American journalists, novelists,
and critics of the past. Muckrakers
attempted to expose the abuses of
business and the corruption in politics
by exposing the unfavorable actions of
their subjects.
Professor McRoy, a film scholar,
offered his insight on "Fahrenheit
9/11" as a documentary. McRoy did
not credit or discredit Moore's film one
way or another but had this to say to
the audience, "However 'real' a film
may claim to be, it is still a distortion
of reality ... the very act of pointing
a camera or splicing scenes together
obscures or hides as much as it reveals,
so to say that a film is misleading, bias or
not truthful, shows a misunderstanding
of what film is in the first place, which is
an optical illusion." McRoy emphasized
that audiences should, "view everything
with a critical perspective and view as
many sides of an issue as possible."
Professor Anne Gurnack, a
political scientist, commented on how
she felt the film may be influencing the
election. "The snippets, the scenes, the
reviews that went all over the world
and throughout our country did have an
impact, they forced people to look at this
issue." Gumack's statistics showed that
although this film may have influenced
the polls upon its initial release, as we
come closer to Election Day the polls
show no more favor for Senator Kerry
than they did before the release of this
film.
PSGA president, Chris Semenas
commented on how he felt the film has
influenced his generation. "We're not
following Michael Moore because he's
anti-Bush, we're following Michael
Moore because he talks the truth to us.
Moore's willing to tell us things we're
not seeing in t he newspaper."
On October 8, Moore appeared
in Milwaukee on his 68-city tour that
included the Milwaukee Theatre as its
17th stop. Moore commented gratefully
on the roar of applause he received
after walking out on the stage as, "The
warmest welcome he'd received, yet, on
this tour." In his speech, Moore talked
in reference to one of the issues that
Semenas brought up, the media. Moore
had this to say about the media and its
coverage of the War on Terror in Iraq,
"The media collectively decided not
to do their job. They should have been
asking the questions that you and 1 don't
get to ask, the job that you and I depend
on them to do. They spent the months
leading up to the war flying American
flags all over the TV screen, not asking
the hard questions, and not demanding
the evidence for the weapons of mass
destruction. They, in my opinion, are as
responsible for the war as Bush."
Another issue Moore discussed,
which also came up in the panel
discussion held at UW-Parkside the
night before, was his depiction of the
American soldiers in his film. A student
in the audience of the UW-Parkside
discussion raised the question of why
Moore included scenes in his film that
did not portray the American soldiers
favorably. Moore addressed this point in
his own speech by saying, "I'm the one
that gave them [the American soldiers]
their voice. The soldiers on the
streets of Baghdad were allowed
for the first time to tell their
experiences of Iraq because
they won't show them on the evening
news."
There was quite a high number
of Bush supporters that turned out for
the UW-Parkside discussion, charging
Moore with unfairly representing
President Bush in his film and
accusing Moore of taking cheap shots
at the President's state of emotional
vulnerability. Moore had this to say
about the Republicans' response to
his film that has caused quite a lot of
controversy, "The right wingers have
made like seven documentaries in the
last month attacking me. That's ok, it
just shows their total level of fear and
frustration that "Fahrenheit 9/11" has
really put them through."
In his closing, Moore had this
to say about his film, "You should
not have to pay S8 or $9 to go to the
movie theater to learn information they
[the government] should've given you
for free." What you choose to do with
the information Moore has revealed
in "Fahrenheit 9/11" is up to you as a
viewer. Whether you agree or disagree
with Moore's viewpoint, the main point
that Moore wants to get across is that
we should all take an active role in our
government and allow ourselves to
question everything it poses to us, not
stopping until we feel we have been told
the whole truth. The most important
thing we can do to accomplish that is
get out and vote on November 2, and
know that we tried to do our best as
citizens of this countiy.

New ASPEN Program Targets Advocacy, Education
to Prevent Sexual Assault On UWP Campus
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL
RAVNIKAR
Officer Marlene Schlecht of the
UW-Parkside campus police force can
talk for hours about the problem of
sexual assault. Her desk is cluttered
with US Department of Justice reports,
statistics, and advocacy and referral
service pamphlets. Her enthusiasm
sparkles, though, when she talks
about the measures that are being
taken against campus sexual assault
under the new ASPEN (Advocates
Supporting Parkside and Educating for
Nonviolence) program.
Campus reports from the Clery
Act show that two sexual assaults were
reported from January to December of
2003. That is a decrease from recent
years, however most studies figure that
only 10 percent of all campus sexual
assault is ever reported. Schlecht
confirmed this, saying, "Unfortunately,
victims of sexual assault will tend to
blame themselves, as if there's nothing
YOUR
AD
COULD
BE HERE.
Advertise wrtti
The Ranger News!
Contact:
Avi Grewal (Ad
Manager) uwp_
ads@yahoo.com
to report."
Police Chief Michael Marzion
added, "Many of the offenders may not
even realize that they're committing
sexual assault. The real project here
isn't arresting rapists, it's educating
to prevent this from happening. Most
people - victims as well as perpetrators
- don't realize what defines rape." The
state of Wisconsin's Act 177 Section
940.225 defines sexual assault as
sexual contact made without consent,
the ability to consent, or is coerced by
threat of violence or intoxicants. For
instance, one assault that occurred last
year consisted of a young man putting
his hand down a woman's shirt. This
qualifies as fourth degree sexual assault.
He faces criminal as well as university
prosecution. Since the two governments
are independent of one another, it is not
a case of double jeopardy.
Overwhelmingly, women tend to be
the victims of sexual assault and men the
perpetrators. However, it's important to
note that while one in three women are
predicted to experience sexual assault
at some point in their fives, one in six
men are also victims. Nearly half of
all female victims experience sexual
assault while they are in college, and
in 90 percent of these cases, the victim
and the perpetrator know one another.
Half of all reported offenses of college
women occur in a date setting.
"Acquaintance rape and date rape
are our biggest concern," Schlecht said.
"That's why it's so important to educate
students and faculty. We all remember
hearing 'stranger danger' as kids and
thinking that we should be afraid of a
shadowing figure jumping out at us in
a dark alley. But that's just not true.
We need to be aware of the people we
know."
Most instances of sexual assault
on UW-Parkside's campus are directly
related with the abuse of alcohol.
"Victims of sexual assault might tend
to think that it's their fault because they
were drunk. That's not an excuse for
a rapist, though. It's not the victim's
fault, ever. It's the fault of whoever is
violating and disrespecting someone's
body," said Schfect.
Marzion expressed his feelings
about the issue poignantly, "In my
opinion, there seems to be one group
that is really empowered to stop this
crime and that's men, because men
are generally the perpetrators of this
crime."
Schlecht agreed, saying, "Some
men think that a woman fighting back
is somehow part of'the game.' It's not.
It's part of rape." And unfortunately
rape and other forms of sexual assault
are not unthinkable possibilities on
UW-Parkside's campus.
"Part of the ASPEN program,"
Marzion said, "and probably the biggest
part, is educating the community not
only aboui what rape and sexual assault
are, but what the long-term effects are
on both the victim and the perpetrator."
ASPEN is an expanded version
of what used to be Surviving Sexual
Assault, a program of the Parkside
Violence Prevention Project, which
is funded by a grant from the US
Department of Justice. The focus of the
ASPEN program is largely educational.
Aside from public education activities,
like tabling and hosting seminars,
the program organizes sexual assault
advocates. In previous years, SSA has
organized and trained between 40 and
50 volunteer advocates.
Consisting of students, faculty
and staff", advocates act in a variety
of capacities, from assisting victims
with anonymously reporting the crime,
to helping them through difficult
investigation or court procedures, or
helping victims communicate with
their friends and family. Schlecht and
Marzion both emphasized that the
role of the advocate was "To empower
the victim and help them become a
survivor."
Working in coalition with students,
faculty, staff, and organizations - such
as Peer Health Educators and The
Women's Center - as well as offcampus
support services, campus police
are devoted to increasing community
awareness about this issue, as well as
about domestic abuse and stalking, the
latter of which has been an increasingly
common phenomenon. "A lot of what
we've been getting lately are reports of
Internet stalking, and it's usually after a
break up," Schlecht said.
"[Being an advocate] is a really
rewarding experience," said Marzion.
"It's unfortunate that so few men take
any interest in it. Sometimes talking to a
police officer or a person who seems like
an authority figure can be ... difficult. It
helps to have trained advocates that are
just concerned citizens there. Being an
advocate is really one of the best things
that anyone could do. Especially men."
Schlecht recommends that everybody
come. "They can get a better
understanding of the issue, and maybe
they can help someone - a person they
know, a friendora family member-who
has been victimized become a survivor."
She reinforced that the structure of
ASPEN and advocate training is nonhierarchical.
"Nobody is there to define
power relationships. When we're in
that room talking about these issues,
it's not teachers, students and officers.
All of those roles fade away. We're
just people who are concerned about
stopping sexual assault."
Everyone in the UW-Parkside
community is invited to attend the
ASPEN training session, which will
take place on November 6 from 8:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Interested students,
faculty, and staff can register by calling
the Health Center at campus extension
2366. The training is free and lunch will
be provided.

Haunted Tunnels Offer Students a
Frighteningly Good Time On Campus
BY NATALIE STOLLENWERK
This Halloween, UW-Parkside
students will not have to venture far
from campus to get a good scare. This
year the Parkside Activities Board
(PBA), the Residence Hall Association
(RHA) and the Parkside Association of
Wargamers (PAW), will be hosting a
haunted house event called the Haunted
Tunnels. The Haunted Tunnels will
be making its frightening debut on
October 27, and again October 28, in
Molinaro Hall from 7-10 p.m. Students
who dare to attend the hair-raising
Haunted Tunnels will enter on the main
floor of Molinaro Hall and then take
the elevator down to the spine-chilling
tunnels below where they will be lead
through a horrifying maze that will let
them out in the Den.
Due to the "terror-iffic" turnout at
last year's Haunted Hallways event,
which took place in the Ranger Hall
and was put on by the RHA, the special
events coordinator of PAB, Kristy
Radspinner, thought it would be great
to get more organizations in on this
Halloween festivity and make it even
more enjoyable for this year's brave
attendees. "1 mainly was attempting to
find more co-sponsors for this event as
PAB was interested in putting this event
on with the collaboration of multiple
groups to involve a variety of people
and to be sure we would be putting on
an excellent event."
Preparing for such a "spooktacular"
event takes a lot of time and hard work.
Radspinner welcomes anyone who is
interested in helping make the tunnels
an even more frightening success to
contact her. "We are all working very
hard toward making this event the best
it can be, and in doing so, can always
use more help. We need volunteers
to dress up and scare people in the
tunnels, help set up within the tunnels
and to provide creative ideas. Anyone is
welcome to help out and if they contact
me, 1 w ill be sure to get them in touch
with the organization that is in need of
assistance."
The Haunted Tunnels event is free
to attend but Radspinner said that a
donation of canned goods at the door
would truly be appreciated by all of
the participating organizations. For
more information about the tunnels
or even if you are just interested in
joining the Parkside Activities Board
(PAB), please feel free to contact Kristy

Dude, Where's
My Professor?
BY TAL GOLDWATER
and MOLLY MEIER
On October 11, students who were
supposed to be starting what is called
a weekend college course got a big
surprise. The professor listed on the
course syllabus was Professor Wang;
however, after a five minute speech lie
walked out of class. Students were left
waiting in the classroom, while another
professor was supposed to show up and
teach the class. Wang, who is a tenured
professor at UW-Parkside, has been
here since 1994 and is said to have
had good reason to left the class. He is
quoted as saying, "I feel the department
chair unfairly assigned me to teach
Introduction to Sociology as a weekend
course." He also said the specific
reasons for not teaching the class were
that "the department is only required
to teach three courses for the weekend
college the entire year and I am already
teaching one."
Wang said, "In 1997 the
executive committee decided that it
is a departmental responsibility after
1 p ointed out as well as other faculty
members that there are structural
problems assigning one individual
member to teach weekend college
without compensation." Upon further
discussion with Wang he said,
"Sociology 101 isn't even a weekend
course. Weekend courses are designed
for upper level courses, not introductory
courses which every professor is eligible
to teach."
What does the sociology
department think about Wang's actions?
The department says that the issue is
still under litigation, and they could not
provide any further information.
As for the Sociology 101, Associate
Lecturer, Professor RogerOhr will teach
it so the students will not be affected by
what happened Monday night. This case
is one of the first cases that a professor
walked out of class in UW-Parkside
history. As for Wang, he has not heard
anything from the department about the
incident.

Debates Make Good Television, Limited Discourse
BY: NICHOLAS MICHAEL
RAVNIKAR
Where's reality TV when you
really need it? October 13 marked
the close of the "official" presidential
debates between challenger John
Kerry and incumbent George Bush at
Arizona State University. During the
previous two weeks, the US media
has pummeled citizens with access to
major news sources with sound-bites
and "post-game analysis." One almost
expected John Madden to give a play by
play, complete with a tangle of action
lines, arrows and other geometric
representations, amid the meticulous
and rigorous rules of engagement
agreed upon by the respective Bush
and Kerry campaign companies in their
"Memorandum of Understanding."
Prior to the debates themselves.
Commission on Presidential Debates
co-chairman Frank Fahrenkoph
thanked sponsors American Airlines,
Continental Airlines and Anheuser-
Bush. The Commission is privately,
not federally, subsidized. Moderator
Bob Schiefer sat with his back to the
audience, noting beforehand that,
"people are having debate parties like
they were Super Bowl parties." Kerry
and Bush stood behind podiums placed
stage right and stage left, respectively,
beneath a huge eagle that carried in its
beak a banner reading, "Ike Union and
The Constitution Forever." Both wore
red ties.
The plot of their final debate,
intended to focus on domestic affairs,
seemed to follow that of a Wimbledon
Cup finals match. Bush accused Kerry
of having an "inconsistent" Senate
record on just about every policy issue
that was brought up, using "bait and
switch" campaign promises, and being
unfit to defend the United States against
a ubiquitous "terrorist menace." Kerry
accused Bush of "lying to the American
people," missing the opportunity to
catch Osama bin Laden, and isolating
the US from it's global neighbors.
Kerry waved off the accusations of
inconsistency as instances of crossing
the party lines, while Bush maintained
that national defense requires "firm
resolve."
Both candidates claim to be very
faithful men, and congratulated each
other's wives and parenting abilities.
They also "think every human life is
precious," and vow to" kill the terrorists."
There are some inconsistencies, to say
the least. In other news, the alternative
parties debate received virtually
zero media coverage in southeast
Wisconsin, aside from one hour of
broadcast on C-SPAN. Held at Cornell
University on October 10, Constitution,
Green, Socialist and Libertarian Party
presidential candidates were seated on
the stage as they fielded questions from
Cornell students. It seems that Ralph
Nader can't get an invite anywhere.
While Bush and Kerry both
took their respective Republican and
Democrat perspectives on the social
spending topics of job development,
minimum wage, health care,
social security and education,
neither of them touched on an
issue that was prominent in the
alternative parties debate - that
of the election system itself.
Alternative parties are pointing
to archaic ballot systems as one
possible cause of both low-voter
turnout, and a strictly bimodal
distribution of Republican
and Democrat support on the
presidential ticket.
One proposed remedy for
the "wasted-vote" syndrome
many self-identified moderates
encounter in choosing what
many consider to be lesser of
two evils was a commitment
to the concept of republican
democracy. This would entail
informing oneself of all
candidates, their parties and
platforms, as well as each
candidate's particular stance on
policy issue; citizens would then
vote for the candidate who best
represents them. Under current
practices, the Alternative Party
candidates say citizens are
either voting against the party
or candidate they oppose, or
they are not voting at all.
On a more revolutionary note,
candidates also suggested that state
elections commissions consider
altemativeballotsystems, such as Instant
Runoff Voting. Under the IRV system,
voters designate their first, second
and third preferences for candidates.
While this system might increase vote
distribution more equitably among a
wider selection of party-supported and
independent candidates, it doesn't seem
as if it would do much for increasing
voter turnout substantially.
Meredith McGhee, executive
director of the Alliance for Better
Campaigns, seemed to agree. "We need
a more robust and more competitive
election system," she said. "The federal
election committee seems like it's
designed to do nothing."

Continued from Cover Story
Kenosha is a just-passing-through
town for vacationers. Milwaukee and
Chicago are destinations — Ken osha,
not quite. If we're famous for
anything, it's the hundreds of locally
owned bars. The introduction of a huge
operation like this is fatal to the little
pubs, killing all competition with the
Wal-Mart "let's suck small businesses
dry" effect. The drinks will be free
for gamblers — what bar can compete
with that? Accordingly, the casino will
see most of its revenue coming from
residents of the Kenosha/Racine and
surrounding areas. Studies show that
households earning less than 25 K per
year are the biggest gamblers; i.e., ones
that basically can't afford to lose it in
the first place. Because the casino pays
zero (yes, ZERO) in taxes, the money
is zapped from the cycle — leaving all
areas of small business suffering in a
domino effect. The holes are many, and
they're everywhere.
On top of this, the future casino is
being modeled after a casino operation
in New London, Connecticut called
the Mohegan Sun. The Menominee
tribe has already received $3.1 million
from the Mohegan tribe, in efforts to
get the ball rolling in Kenosha and the
Mohegans are expected to take over
when finally established. Not good,
and you'll see why. In a "learn from
their mistakes"-type deal, two Kenosha
County Supervisors were directed to
visit and report their findings on the
effect the Mohegan Sun has had on
it's host and surrounding communities.
They found some frightening statistics,
ones we will most definitely see as
well. New London County reports
these increases since the Mohegan
Sun's arrival:
34% - Narcotic Arrests
30% - Calls for Police Service
22% -911 Emergency Calls:
61% - Arrests for Driving Under the
Influence (DUI)
104% - Speeding Offenses
350 % - Prostitution Arrests
The report quotes Sgt. Powers,
a Resident State Trooper from
Connecticut, citing increases in
vehicular traffic, money laundering,
embezzlement, forgeries, drug traffic,
and financially related suicides.
For Kenosha's Chief of Police, Dan
Wade, actually looking into the issue
of crime and the statistics proved too
difficultatask. He and Kenosha District
Attorney Bob Jambois. probably
should've done their homework,
considering their eager endorsement
of the casino project in a recent media
address. And what's scarier are those
with influential rank who simply
ignore the obvious costs for their own
benefit; could be those darn dollar signs
blinding them. Fun fact time: Did you
know the D.A.'s wife, Beverly Jambois,
just happens to be in charge of the "Yes
Jobs, Yes Casino" campaign? Maybe
wifey's paycheck is the reason for his
"thumbs up." Sketchy, sketchy. I feel
a Bob Dylan quote coming on...
"Money doesn't talk, it swears,"
and we all have a price if I'm not
mistaken. Casinos, like money, breed
corruption — it's common knowledge.
Our community leaders might like the
fact that these Indian tribes are legally
allowed to contribute to political
campaigns. Back in 2002, Jim Doyle
received a whopping $725,000 to use
in his campaign for governor. Doyle
announced generous deals with Indian
casinos shortly after elected, even
though his entire political career showed
opposition togamblingexpansion. Give
me $725,000 and I'd probably begin to
see things your way, too. This worries
Milwaukee County's District Attorney,
Michael McCann, who originally
came to Wisconsin for it's reputable
and clean government. "The sum of
money that went into the governor's
race should have been a wake-up call,"
states McCann, "they can do the same
thing on a local level."
The dirty deals are plenty with this
thing, and the social costs of a casino
are incredibly high. Kenosha residents,
clearly playing underdog to the milliondollar
Mohegans, are funding the "Vote
No" campaign. F ve based my reasoning
on loads of research and fact, and it's all
flashing "SHADY DEAL". My advice
for the next week? An uneducated vote
is far worse than no vote at all, so give
the Bush/Kerry/Nader talk a rest, and
take five minutes to learn about what's
going on in your own backyard.

Rugby Team Making Progress
Despite Pair of Losses...
BY: RUSSELL HARRIS
Sports Editor
On October 2, the UW-Parkside Rugby
Team played at UW-Eau Claire and lost
52-39. "It was a fantastic match until
the final eight minute's," said Assistant
Coach Todd Streeter. UW-Parkside had
a lead for 68 minutes. John Hubbard
scored two tries for UW-Parkside, one
off of a stolen kickoff. "He came close
to scoring on another attempt, too,"
said Streeter. UW-Parkside's Kevin
Schanke, the outside center, also scored
on his first attempt ever.
On October 9, the team played an
experienced Wisconsin Men's Rugby
Club team and came up short, 53-27.
"We out worked them in many aspects
of the game, but we had key turnovers
when we were close to scoring and we
missed too many tackles," said Streeter.
Veteran forwards John Hubbard, Andy
Stein, and Matt Hasenbush all played
very well. "Freshman Tony Kardelis
scored his first collegiate try, and the
back-line, while young, played a spirited
match. Newcomer, Ken Knapp, playing
in his first rugby match ever, showed a
great grasp of the game as he had many
successful kicks and chases," said
Streeter. Lukas Bower also had another
great game at scrumhaif and scored
twice! The Ranger's aren't holding
their heads down now either. "With
over half of the team rookies or
freshman, match play, especially
against men's club teams is crucial
and what some of our guys lack in
experience they have more than
made up for in tenacity, heart, and
fearlessness," said Streeter. The
Ranger's play at the Milwaukee
Harlequins on October 16. Keep
up the good work guys!
Coach Fabiano Guiding Women's Soccer
Team in Right Direction
Lady Rangers set to defend Great Lakes Valley Conference Title
and gain NCAA bid
BY RUSSELL HARRIS
Sports Editor
UW-Parkside Women's Soccer
Head Coach, Troy Fabiano, was
the Great Lakes Valley Conference
(GLVC) coach of the year in 2003
after the team won its first ever GLVC
title and obtained its first NCAA
tournament bid, both of which were
firsts in UW-Parkside's history in the
women's soccer program. The Rangers
are currently ranked number two in
their region and 15th in the nation.
Fabiano, in his seventh season as head
coach, inherited a squad that had a 5-11
record and over the past three seasons
has an impressive record of 48-8-8 and
enjoyed a .805 winning percentage.
"Our girls need to be recognized from
where they've come from, it says a lot
for the players we've brought in, our
administration, our athletic department,
and our coaching staff," said Fabiano.
He is a native Kenosha son and attended
Bradford High School where he earned
a scholarship to play soccer and went
on to earn his degree at Robert Morris
College, which is a Division I school.
Fabiano might have gotten his passion
for soccer from his father, who had a
successful career coaching soccer for
20 vears at Kenosha Bradford and
Kenosha Tremper High Schools.
His only losing season as
the head coach of UW-Parkside
was his first year, but ever since
Fabiano headed up his recruiting
he has led the Lady Rangers to five
straight winning seasons and has
attracted national attention. After
just one season, Fabiano took over
the reigns and led the team to the
Great Lakes Valley Conference
(GLVC) Final Four in 2000 and
on to the league championship
game in 2001 (17-2 record) prior
to winning the GLVC in 2003.
So when asked if there is
now more pressure on the team or
less, Fabiano said, "The pressure
has intensified since our success.
Teams are gunning for us.' Coach
Fabiano said that this year s
focus is on the defensive side of
the ball. Fabiano says that senior
goalkeeper, Abbigale Wild, senior

GAME IN
PROGRAM
HISTORY!
On Friday, October 14, the UWParkside
Men's Soccer Team won
its 400lh game in the program's
history by beating the Kentucky
Wesley an Panthers, 10-0, in a Great
Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC)
contest at Wood Road Field. The
Rangers did so quite handily and
nine different players scored goals
to lead a balanced scoring attack.
Sophomore midfielder, Bill Haga,
scored twice for the Rangers who
are now 11-2-1 overall and 6-1-1 in
the GLVC. The Rangers led 3-0 at
the half. The Rangers had 17 shots
on goal while the Panthers had just
two. Freshman goalkeeper, Victor
Perez, and sophomore goalkeeper,
Mickey joy, who is coming back
from an injury that he suffered
on the second day of practice this
season, both saw time defending
the net and combined efforts for the
shutout.
senior midfielder, Linsey Griffitts, are
keys to helping UW-Parkside defensively.
"We need them and our other returning
players to show the 13 freshman what this
program is all about, which is that we're
competing for a conference championship.
We need our experienced players to teach
our younger players," said Fabiano.
As for the freshman stepping up this
season, Fabiano said, "Some of them have.
Out of 27 goals that we've scored, 20 of
them have been by freshman." Freshman
midfielder, Tamara Buntrock, and freshman
forward, Laura Eide, have contributed
in a big way this season. "Playing at the

collegiate level connects the players to
the same goals and they must adjust to
the team concept. This is a team effort
and it is about doing the little things,"
said Fabiano.
Among the players who contribute
to this on a regular basis is Stephanie
Strauss, a senior sweeper. "She
definitely covers a lot of ground out
there," said Fabiano. As for senior
goalkeeper, Abbigale Wild, she is
having yet another terrific season.
"Our freshman are scoring goals and
our upperclassmen are not giving any
goals up," stated Fabiano. When asked
if the competition is playing up to the
same level as last season, Fabiano
said, "There are no easy games in this
conference."
The Ranger News wanted to know
what Fabiano's team was like during
their practices. The coach grinned and
said, "They are somewhat consistent
and sometimes not. They're like a
chameleon. We are trying to figure out
our chemistry as we go."
When asked what he would like
to see his student-athletes to get out of
their experience here at UW-Parkside,
Fabiano said firmly, "I want them
to succeed in the classroom and on
the field." For the past 5-6 years, the
women's soccer teams have had an
impressive GPA of 3.0.
As for Samantha Sosnay, a former
soccer player at UW-Parkside and one
of the team's two assistant coaches,
Fabiano had this to say, "Sam relates
to the girls well and works with them
a lot. She does a lot of paper work
on and off of the field, too." Vlatko
Minic, a veteran assistant coach on the
team, focuses on coaching defense.
"He is easy to relate to and he helps to
close bridges between players," said
Fabiano. Fabiano said that it is nice
to have trustworthy assistants. The
Ranger News wishes the team the best
of luck for the remainder of this season,
which looks like GLVC Tournament
play and possibly a bid into the NCAA
Tournament. There is still a chance that
the Lady Rangers will be hosting the
GLVC Tournament and a portion or the
entire NCAA Tournament here at Wood
Road Field. Stay tuned for more!
Discover What the Sports Activities
Center Has to Offer
BY HEATHER TODD
Do you know what the big building
is on the south side of campus? Heard
it's a gymnasium, but never visited?
Well, that enormous structure is the
Sports and Activities Center, but is
better known as the SAC. A majority
of students around campus seem to
be unaware of all that the SAC has to
offer. For those students involved in
organized sports and events, the SAC
is home away from home. For those
of you who are not aware of what else
the SAC has to offer students, here are
some of the things that you have been
missing.
Racquetball, volleyball, basketball
and badminton courts can be used by
simply reserving them. There are two
racquetball courts and there is no cost
for rackets. The balls cost $1 and can
be purchased at the information desk,
which is loc ated on the south side of the
SAC. Volleyball and badminton courts
can set up in advance to save time, and
the nets double as tennis nets. Several
different basketball courts are available
in the fieldhouse. To reserve a court for
any of these sports, students simply need
to stop by or call for a reservation. Feel
free to shoot baskets anytime that there
is not a class in session. Basketballs can
be checked out, or students can bring
their own. Many people like to walk
around the courts for exercise, too.
There is also Ping-Pong.
There is a public weight room
located on the south end of the building
next to the visitor's entrance. It contains
all thebasics for an indoor cardiovascular
workout and the essentials for weight
training. A larger weight room with a
greater variety of equipment is located
on the second floor; however, it requires
the user to enroll in certain classes or
sign up for a membership by paying
a small fee. The pool is another great
way to exercise. Students can enroll in
swimming classes or just take a swim.
Fall intramural activities begin in
the third week of October. These include
volleyball, racquetball, basketball,
ping-pong, as well as many others. All
skill levels are welcomed. There is also
a wide variety of spoiling events being
held on campus, including men's and
women's soccer, women's volleyball,
men's cross-country/ track and field,
women's cross country, men's and
women's basketball, rugby and golf.
Each season hosts new players to come
out and cheer for. There is some pretty
intense competition.
For convenience, students and
visitors can enter the SAC through
the north or south entrance. The north
side is within walking distance of the
Communication Arts Building and
Main Place. In the evenings, the south
side entrance is the primary entrance.
A Ranger Card ensures free admission.
Students gain free admission into
any UW-Parkside sporting event by
showing their Ranger Card, too.
With all of these amenities and
more available just a tew hundred feet
away, UW-Parkside is providing a great
way to get out. So get some of your
friends together and go see what the
SAC has to offer. Take a break from
your studies and start moving before
the cold months set in.
You can reserve racquetball courts at
595-2159 and to check the pool hours,
which change weekly, call 595-2780.

Klips' Desire to Win is Contagious
BY RUSSELL HARRIS
Sports Editor
Rick Kilps, head coach of the UWParkside
Men's Soccer Team, detests
losing. Coming into this season, Kilps
has a lifetime record of 285-97-24. He
ranks fourth all-time in NCAA Division
II in wins. He has coached 19 nationally
ranked UW-Parkside teams that have
made 20 post-season appearances. His
teams have never had a losing season.
Currently, the men's soccer team is
ranked second regionally and is 16th
nationally. On October 8, the team won
its 400th victory in program history!
Kilps began his collegiate coaching
career at Aurora College and remained
there for five seasons before coming
back to UW-Parkside. He was a
Ranger soccer player from 1971-1974
and an assistant coach in 1975. He
earned his undergraduate degree from
UW-Parkside and a master's degree
of education from Bowling Green
University. Kilps served as an assistant
coach and assistant trainer while at
Bowling Green University. Coach Kilps
is a certified athletic trainer and was
the head trainer at UW-Parkside for 15
years, but left that position about five
years ago. Kilps has taught a variety of
classes in his
years at UWParkside,
and
is currently
t e a c h i n g
two courses;
orientation to
coaching and
cross training.
In the
classroom, a
r ema r k a b l e
98 percent of
Kilps players
have earned a
degree. In 13
of the last 14
semesters, his
teams have
a collective
GPA of 3.0.
Coach Kilps,
an associate
professor of education, said that he
has many players that have gone on
to successful careers, including: mi
orthopedic surgeon, attorney, physician,
professor of medical biophysics, a
"He's the same person
I knew when I first met
him. He knew how to
teach, he knew how to
relate to young people
and he did it all with
a passion, with ethics,
and he always had his
priorities straight. He's
got the whole package."

Kansas City Wizards & Coach
Kilps' Mentor
bakery owner, a President/CEO, a
police officer, a vice president of
commercial banking, a prosthetist/
orthotist, admissions counselor, and
more than one coach.
Kilp's said, "I think we're taking
larger steps. We're going in the right
direction." He said winning the games
that are decided by one goal is very
important. The Ranger's record is 5-1
in those games this season. As for team
goals are concerned, Kilps said," 1t hink
number one is to be the best that we can
be. We vvant to win the conference and
advance to the NCAA Tournament and
advance as far as we can. I th ink that's
always your goal-- to be the best that
you can be."
On the second day of practice this
year, the Rangers suffered what seemed
to be a big setback, as sophomore
goalkeeper, Mickey Joy, was injured.
That was the unknown element for the
Rangers coming into this season. Kilps
had no other options, which meant that
freshman, Victor Perez, would start
and he has been outstanding. He was
the GLVC Player of the Week earlier
this season. "The piece fit perfectly.
Victor has performed admirably and
he will be the first one to tell you that
our defenders work
very hard to keep the
opponents away from
our goal." The best
way to describe the
team's overall attitude
is that they want
to win. "It's a hard
working bunch of kids
and they get along
well," said Kilps.
"Our goal is to have
a complete game,
meaning that we will
work on both sides
of the ball. We play
well on both sides,"
exclaimed Kilps.
The Ranger's rookies
are a talented group
and are contributing
well to the team. The
experienced players
are determined to win. They work very
hard. Kilps said, "There is something
special to leave college on a team that
is successful. Our seniors feel good
about the direction that we're going
in. They have given
us leadership. The
juniors are coming
together; but they
have been tossed
into the fire. They are
finding themselves
and are developing
well because they
realize that they'll
be seniors soon.
Reality hits and these
kids realize that they
have to take the next
step."
He said that the
team is constantly
Working to get on
the same page, but
that it is difficult
and that it's hard to
be perfect. "We'll
continue to work in
that direction. I don't ^P5, heac*
think you're really
ever there. Everyday
we'll get closer and closer. If we're
there now, it's too early," Kilps
continued. The Rangers have a chance
to be in the position to host a portion
of or the entire NCAA Tournament if
they finish number one in the region at
Wood Road Field this season as well.
They accomplished this three or four
years ago.
Kilps wants to see his players get a
degree, become good citizens, and
good employees first and foremost. "1
would like to see each of the players
give something back in some way to
the game of soccer. 1 want them to look
back on good memories and at all of
the good teams they've played against.
I want them to have enjoyed it and
hopefully even have a good memory of
me," continued Kilps. He also said that
being on the team is 1 ike having a second
family. The large group of alumni that
comes to games on a regular basis
characterizes this. These individuals
still care about what is happening in
the men's soccer program. There is
a friendship commodity that speaks
loudly surrounding this program.
Kilps said that Assistant Head Coach,
Jason Zitzke, Goalkeeper Specialist,
Dan Tredo, and current UW-Parkside
graduate student, Ame Berez, a native
of Hamburg, Germany, help him
coach of Parkside's Men's Soccer Team
tremendously in preparingthe team. "It's
good to have younger, fresher coaches.
They're closer to the player's age. They
help in understanding the player's needs
better. They help in of fering a different
perspective to the'players. My jokes are
old and it is good for the players to hear
some new ones! A head coach has to
delegate and let the assistants do their
thing. I can't hold them back. The team
needs to hear ideas through different
vehicles. That is what a head coach is
supposed to do - surround himself with
good quality people. I g ive them a lot
of responsibility. However, I do feel
the responsibility of being the one in
charge," said Kilps.
If there were one thing that Kilps could
change about his life, what would it be?
"1 think I've wondered if I put a s much
physical time, effort, thought, energy,
and concern into something that would
have benefited me personally in another
job, that I co uld have been a wealthier
person. However, I don't know if I'd be
happier or enjoy it," said the coach.
As for his biggest accomplishment as a
coach, Kilps said, "Looking at the fist
of players who graduated and seeing
their success and how each became
a respectable person is my biggest
accomplishment. It's not about winning
any one game, it's the big picture."

Junior defender, Ben Tommerup,
helped lead the Rangers to a narrow 2-
1 win at GLVC opponent Missouri-St.
Louis. Early into the match, Tommerup
was credited with an assist on Alen
Osmanovic'sgoal.Osmanovicisajunior
forward. Later, Tommerup dribbled the
ball down field beating three defenders
and his attempt hit the post setting up
Joe Hnath's goal, which was the game
winner. UW-Parkside held the lead over
the final eight minutes to improve their
record in GLVC play to 4-1-1 and their
overall record to 9-2-1.
Ask Dave
The Ranger News had another opportunity to sit down with UWParkside
fs Athletic Director, Dave Williams, to ask him some questions
regarding upcoming athletic events and issues in the world of
collegiate athletics here on campus. Here's what Dave had to say:
Q: Why are the hours of the SAC what they are?
A: liWe tried to meet student demand. Student demand so far since this building has been open is that it should be open until
10 p.m. This is what they asked for a year ago. We used to be open until 9 p.m. ihe SUFAC Committee, a couple of years ago,
thought that there was a need to have the building open until 10 p.m. and that is why we're open until 10 p.m. at this time. If we
don't have planned activities in here until then, the place starts to clear out right about 10 p.m. So we don't think staying open
past 10 p.m. is very smart. Ihe other side, in the mornings, we're not convinced that there are many students who want us to
open earlier than 7 a.m. If there are a bunch of students who want to workout at 6 a.m. so they can get to that first class by 8 a.m.,
I'd like to know about it so we can meet that demand. There are a number of faculty that might like this, but the faculty has to
pay extra for this building, Ihere would have to be a good number of faculty members that would want the building open at 6
am. in order for us to do it. It costs us about $35 an hour to open up one hour earlier". You can e-mail Dave Williams at david.
williams@uwp.cdu if you carc to voice your opinion on this matter.
Q: Since the Men and Women's Soccer Teams are having such great seasons, do they have the potential to
make the GLVC Tournament or NCAA Tournament this season?
A: 'The first step of post-season play is the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Tournament, so ailer the regular season is
played, the lop six teams in the league qualify for the GLVC Tournament. Then the teams play to a championship and the number
one and two seeds get byes (first week oft). Then number three seed plays the number six seed, four plays five and they bring ail
the other four teams to one site. We actually have a chance of hosting that tournament on the women's side as they take the number
one seed, which is where ihe women are close to (tied for first) and therefore they will get to host the GLVC Tournament here on
campus. Also, the men's soccer team (in second place) has an outside chance at hosting the men's GLVC Tournament. After that,
the second step of the post-season is the NCAA Tournament. With the NCAA Tournament, Division IT is based on regional play
and there are eight different regions in both men and women's soccer. In the women's side, they actually lake the best 32 teams in
the country, which works out to be four teams in each region, but in the men's division, they only take 24 teams. So they take less
men s teams than women's teams. They take three teams from the men's rankings and four teams from each region in ihe women's.
There are 28 teams in the region and right now, the men are ranked number two, and the women are ranked number two as well.
We play the regular season out and then the conference tournament. From there, they re-rank the teams based on a system that the
NCAA uses and they lake the top three teams from the men and the top four teams from the women's. Those teams are then sent
to the NCAA Division II Tournament, which is equivalent of ihe Final Four in the NCAA Basketball Tournament that you see on
TV, only it's soccer. Whatever team is ranked first in the region has a shot at hosting the NCAA Tournament or a portion of it. It
happened about three to four years ago in men's soccer. This is a unique and exciting position for us to be in."

Midnight Madness a Hit
Sammy Kromm shoots
a lay-up during the
Rangers' first official
On Friday, October 15, the
UW-Parkside men's and women's
basketball teams held their first official
practice of the season. More than 100
students and families filled the stands
at Desimone Gymnasium at the SAC
to get a fresh look at the players and
coaches. The event, called Midnight
Madness, was part of the Hot Hot Hot
Fiesta Weekend.
Contests were held for audience
members for the chance to win t-shirts
and tickets to see the Rangers take on
UW-Madison in November. Children
who showed up before Midnight
Madness began were able to get advice
on shooting hoops from the players.
The men's first official game of the
season is on November 15 at Hillsdale,
and the women begin on November 16
here against Olivet Nazarene.

Left With The Leaves
BY A A ROM WENSEL
One year later, I don't feel any different. Elliott
died with the leaves last year and left us grieving
through the cold winter, made even colder without
him. It's fail again, and even the warmth of the
leaves doesn't make me smile. It's kind of like
Elliott, he gave us so much happiness before he
left us to go home to oblivion. ''You only live a day
but it's brilliant anyway," he used to sing of the
butterflies, and like them, he was beautiful. In th e
song, "No Name #1," he sang "Leave alone, 'cos you
know you don't belong here." Maybe that's where he
will finally fit in, heaven. Elliott continues, " ...when
I go don't you follow me," asking people who love
him to stay behind after he has left.
Thinking of Elliott Smith's death just leaves
me with a sad emptiness, as his tender voice and
fragile guitar playing slip away. 1 write this with a
heavy heart, I co uldn't convince you of how much
his music meant to me and many others. Elliott
sang of his sadness, and in doing so, eased our pain.
"No one's gonna fool around with us," he sang in
"Angeles," and who could argue with him. Elliott
could muster more strength in a whisper than any
one I ever met could strain to shout.
On October 21, one year has passed. His death
- that of one of the most humbly talented musicians
to ever grace our ears - well, it's still hard to believe.
Unfortunately, most of you aren't familiar with
Elliott Smith's music. He did the film score for
"Good Will Hunting," so if you saw that, you heard
him. Or you may remember his performance on the
Academy Awards, Elliott in an all white suit, which
now seems eerily angelic. His best albums are his
first three with less production and interference from
producers and record executives, entitled: "Roman
Candle," "Elliott Smith," and "Either/Or."
His favorite part of music was melody and he
had a great sense for it. A natural gift, that gave his
songs a sing song melody that you can whistle to.
You'll find that his songs relate to people of our age,
or anyone who's alive. Breakups with his girlfriend
and band played a part in the way his lyrics are.
He sings of how he doesn't fit in with the everyday
church crowd, singing, "Church bells, and now I'm
awake, and I guess it must be some kind of holiday.
But! can't seem to join in with the celebration."
He also shows strength in spite of his loneliness. In
some of his strongest lyrics, he retaliates to a lost
love, "What a shitty thing to say. Did you really
mean it? You never said a word to me, about what
passed between us, so now I'm leaving you alone.
You can do what ever the hell you want to."
And don't begin to believe Elliott is just some
bitter loner, he writes plenty that'll make you smile. I
particularly love when he sings in "Say Yes," "I'm in
love with the world, through the eyes of a girl, who's
still around the morning after."
Elliott Smith is loved by people for being so real.
When he took his life last year on that dreary day in
October, many mourned him, their fallen hero. Many
loved him because he was that strong voice they
couldn't find, that voice that told people off in place
of the silence they couldn't break. Elliott's words
gave confidence to those who lacked it and comfort
to those who couldn't relate to the outside world.
Elliott Smith is the voice of the quiet and isolated
around the world. Check out his last album, entitled
From a Basement On a Hill, was 99% finished at the
time of his death; it's coming out October 19th. If
you don't like him or can't relate to his words, then
youjust don't understand.

Women's Center Up and Running,
Film Series Attendance Low
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR
Recent administrative changes have kept the
Women's Center from being as active this semester as
organizers would've hoped, according to the center's
Volunteer Coordinator Haiti Stewart. Rest assured,
however, that the Center's activities will be taking a
turn from what Stewart called the "dance competition
and jewelry sale" brand of women's issues that have
pervaded Women's Center activity in the past to a
more active engagement with the student body in the
planning and execution of events.
"There have been a lot of misconceptions about
what we're trying to do. The Women's Center is
not an anti-male institution. We're not 19th Century
feminists arguing for separate divisions of labor.
We're just working towards gender equity," Stewart
said.
While coordinators are currently working with
campus administration and the student body to
decide what the concerns of campus women are,
Kate Bieringer has got a program up and running.
The "Reel Women Film Series" began on September 16
with "Kill Bill 2," and since then has shown "The Prince
& Me," "Against the Ropes" and "Honey." Bieringer,
along with other Women's Center coordinators, hopes
that students will use the films as a springboard for talking
about concerns central to women's rights.
Unfortunately, Bieringer says, attendance has not been
as high as she would have hoped. She's not sure whether
the 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Thursday show times are the reason.
It's sure not the free admission.
"It seems like everyone's got a 6 p.m. class. And after
that, they just want to go home and go to bed," the firsttime
film series coordinator said. She's hoping that more
students will contact the women's center regarding the
series, as well as about other volunteer opportunities.

Sneak Preview: "The Magdalene Sisters"
BY: NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR
On October 27 is the free student showing of "The Magdalene Sisters" at 9 p.m. Another free showing
for students will be on October 31 at 5 p.m. Yep, that's right, Halloween. Undeniably suspenseful, the film
couldn't rightfully be described as anything less than true horror. The story of the Magdalene Asylums,
throughout Ireland, saw it's most prominent years between 1970 and 1996, during which it "saved" over
30,000 women.
The movie follows the lives of three young women, Margaret, Bemadette and Rose (played by Anne-
Marie Duff, Nora-Jane Noone and Dorothy Duffy, respectively). They were accused of sin by the Catholic
community for being raped, leered at by young pubescent boys, and having a child out of wedlock, "The
Magdalene Sisters" takes a brutally honest series of pictures of die inner workings of a cruel institution and
its effects on the mental health of the inmates.
One of the more poignant moments in the film occurs when the much-tried and easily deceived Crispina
(Eileen Walsh) realizes the way that a priest has manipulated her faith. She stands in a crowd of churchgoers
shouting at a naked priest covered in rashes. (It's a long story that's better seen than told.) For a good two
minutes, all the audience hears is, "You're not a man of God!" ad infinitum.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of
the film is not the most immediate. It is bad
enough that the sado-masochistic tragedy of
the Magdalene Laundry is a believable and
recent historical reality. What's worse is the
truth that we're still left with: Contemporaiy
discourse still vilifies women with an arsenal
of inappropriate and disrespectful sexual
stereotypes, albeit in a more convoluted and
de-politicized method.
Again, students can see the film for free on
October 27 at 9 p.m. and October 31 at 5 p.m.
Communism's Obsolescence in
"Goodbye, Lenin"
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty," that is
all ye know on earth, and all ye need
to know.
- John Keats
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL
RAVNIKAR
The Parkside Foreign Film Series
showcased German Director Wolfgang
Becker's feature film "Goodbye,
Lenin!" from October 8-10. Using
the narrative vehicle of a small postnuclear-
family unit, Becker deals
with complex and volatile issues such
as media's relationship to political
ideology, memory and truthfulness. The
story revolves around a young television
repair and installation technician
named Alex (played by Daniel Bruhl)
living in East Germany with his mother
Christiane (Katrin Sab), sister Ariane
(Maria Simon) and baby niece, as
Western capitalist influences contribute
to the deflation of the Berlin Wall.
-ust prior to the fail of the Wall,
Alex's proletarian-interest driven
mother suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma. When
she recovers, the Wall has fallen and doctors warn Alex that
the slightest stress could cause her to have another attack. In
order to preserve his mother's life, Alex embarks on a series of
comical yet touching falsifications, going so far as to have his
aspiring film-maker coworker cook up fake news broadcasts.
In the later third of the film, the powerful bronze figure of
Vladimir Lenin, with outstretched hand, is hoisted by helicopter
over and past an understandably confused Christiane. We see
in her eyes a tender vulnerability that replaces the socialist
comrade she had once been as an iconic myth floats past her,
seemingly weightless. If only history were so simple.
While "Goodbye, Lenin!" takes place in such a turbulent
period in German history, the framework that Becker presents
it in allows
a foreign
audience to find
the common
h u m a n
elements of
family, young
r o m a n c e
and death to
identify with.
"Osama" Offers Arab
Perspective
BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR
Siddiq Barmak's film "Osama" offers a stark glimpse
at the totalitarian nature of religious fundamentalism.
By foregrounding the relationships drawn between
gender, freedom, and economic hardship, "Osama"
gives audiences a painful but necessary experience of
Taliban rule in Afghanistan. While following the theme
popularized with Shakespeare's "A Comedy of Errors"
-that of a woman acting as a man - Barmak's "Osama"
delves into a contemporary portrayal of the Taliban's
attempt to edify a national consciousness subservient
to its beliefs, and its effects on the life of a pre-teen
Muslim girl.
The film, which played in the Union Cinema from
September 29 to October 3, followed a young girl
(played by Marina Golbahari) as her widowed mother
(Zubaida Sahar) struggles to provide for her daughter
and mother after losing her job as a doctor. As the
Taliban will not allow women to travel unaccompanied,
it becomes increasingly difficult to survive. The
grandmother, through the use of the metaphor of a
rainbow, cuts the child's hair in order to pass her off as
a boy. AH parties involve recognize the danger involved
in such deceptions, but cannot deny their dire economic
situation.
Throughout the film we see women who carry
burkas to cover themselves when Taliban forces are
present. We're also shown the stressful tactics that nonfundamentalist
citizens undertake in order to attempt
living a "normal" life; for instance, we see in one scene
a wedding party that gets broken up by Taliban agents.
Before they arrive, a lookout announces their presence
and the wedding party disguises itself immediately as a
funeral.
"Osama" doesn't ever take a position on US
intervention in the Middle East. While US audiences
will be tempted to read various ideological justifications
into it, the film only gives the relative truth - That the
subjugation of women under male rule leaves more
than half of a society powerless to survive. One image
that recurs throughout the film is that of the lock and
key. When a group of female protesters are captured
by Taliban forces and corralled into a cage, the lock
is turned by a gun-wielding soldier. Later in the film,
Osama's life is spared when she is married, against her
will, to a Taliban-supporting Mullah. Again, the lock
plays a central figure here — allowing her to choose
which lock will be hers. The irony is painful, but
Barmak succeeds in focusing on the futility of a life
that is not self-determined.
Due to a grant from the Foreign Film Festival
Committee, chaired by Economics professor Norman
Cloutier, students will soon be able to rent a copy of
this film from the Library. The next film scheduled
to appear at the time of publication will be "The
Magdalene Sisters," from October 27-31. Wednesday 9
p.m. and Sunday 5 p.m. showings of all the film series'
showings are free to students who present their Ranger
Card at the door. Students are also allowed one guest.

F^STDO^C S
Mouth
BY HENRY GASKINS
The problem with the invasion of privacy begins when an
authority figure loses trust in the people he/she is supposed to
be protecting. The US Constitution prohibits the government
from interfering with a person's right to remain silent, to
consult with an attorney, and to be free from unreasonable searches and
seizures. I believe our forefathers included this in the Bill of Rights because it
is important for the public to be free of government, and have the government
work for the people instead of against them. One reason some people do not
like police officers is because they feel the police are constantly suspecting
people, always on the lookout for any wrong doing.
"But I hav e nothing to hide! So who cares?!"
Liking police or not, it gives me the creeps when I feel like any sort
of government is looking over my shoulder - Big Brother, as it were.
Aside from government and wrongdoings in general, people don't
need to be in other people's business. I have certain things I will never share
with anybody, because 1 don't want him or her to know, it's for me, and
me alone. For instance, I hav e a notebook - several actually - and often 1
take walks late at night and scribble thoughts in the notebook. My thoughts
aren't anything extraordinary or anything, but personal none the less. When
I'm standing on a street corner at midnight writing and a police car turns the
corner, I feel like all eyes are on me. I've heard of people keeping records of
drugs they traffic in notebooks or whatever, and 1 often wonder if the police
may suspect me of this. Or maybe they suspect me of plotting some kind of
crime in my notebook, taking notes in preparation of the big heist. Or maybe
I'm just paranoid. Either way, nobody is looking in my notebook, because it
is private and I do n't want anyone to see what 1 write in there. 1 believe the
government should trust me with my notes, even if I look like a freak under a
pale full moon on a random street corner at midnight.
"What about the mother that finds marijuana in her son's or
daughter's sock drawer?"
That's a tough situation, but I'd probably ask the mother the same
thing the child would: Why were you searching the sock drawer? And if the
mother had a reason, such as missing money or a drastic change in behavior, I
would hope she would come right out and explain it and have a long talk with
her child. But if the child has maintained behavior and is acting responsibly
with no reason for the parent to search them, I think they have every right to
be upset because it would be obvious the parent doesn't trust them. Children
- and adults - need privacy and time to figure things out for themselves while
they live and grow.
The fourth amendment guarantees us privacy, but with vague terms
like "terrorist" and the pleasantly named USA PATRIOT Act, who knows how
long it will last?
Privacy
Vs.
Surveilance
BY PRESTON BROWN
In the world we live in today, the risk of theft,
damage, or attack is greater then ever and appropriately, our
civilization has adjusted. Wc also live in a society that values
privacy as much as it values safety, so what are we to do/
Well it seems that every time you go to a gas station or the store, you
arc constantly being filmed. Somebody is watching us through his or her eye
in the sky and we call him, "Big Brother." Now although "he" gets a lot of
flack, 1 think there are many points that can be too easily dismissed.
When civilization expands, it has to expand in all directions or else
there will be a gap or curve in the social system. As technology gets better
and assressors get smarter, we must find new ways to protect ourselves. For
example, although it isn't exactly pleasant being filmed while I pu mp gas,
I can appreciate the level of security those cameras provide. Stores with
cameras have a far less chance of being robbed, just as a parking lot under
video surveillance is a less attractive den for muggers. I don't mind being
watched at a store, because I know that those cameras that are searching for
thieves are helping to keep the prices down in the stores that watching over.
If t here is nothing to hide, then 1 wonder what all the 1 uss is about?
It's not like we have a surveillance system that tracks people in the bathrooms
or in our bedrooms, or anywhere near our personal lives at all. Surveillance
cameras arc only set up in places that arc designed lor public use, or
private commerce. How could this possibly bother people? It's not like
people are watching tapes of me picking my nose, or doing something else
embarrassing. No, I'm sure that for the most part, these videos arc not being
seen at all.
If people want to complain about privacy issues due to the Patriot
Act. then that's one thing, but when I he ar about folks gelling worked up
over security cameras, well that's just different all together. If you aren t
doing something that you are not supposed to, then what is the most a camera
will see? I think the most a camera will see is people acting like ordinarypeople,
not rock stars or super models, just ordinary people. It seems to me
that people get upset when they see themselves on a camera, like when you
hear yourself on tape for the first lime and ask yourself, "Do I really sound
like that?" Because we don't look cool! Otherwise, the most you have for an
argument on the opposition is a crybaby complaint that is aiming its sites at
a perfect world thai doesn't exist where wc shouldn't need such things and

*Get Out The Vote' Campaign Countered By * Keep Vote Inside' Campaign
With the presidential election less than two months
away and the country more politically polarized than it has
been in years. "Get Out The Vote" movements have been
sprouting up all over the nation, especially on college campuses.
Young people (18-24) arc statistically one of the least likely
demographics to vote in a presidential election, but these
drives hope to change that.
Parkside's own "Get Out The Vote" campaign, called
the New Voters Project, has been working feverishly for
weeks, registering a countless number of students to participate
in this year's election. The purpose of the campaign is
not only to register new, young voters, says NVP director
Luscious Cromwell, but ultimately to gain the attention ol'
politicians who largely ignore the issues of young people.
"They don't pay attention to us because we don't
vote,' says Cromwell. "Old people vote in droves -- mostly
because they don't have much else to do - and politicians payattention
to them for that. Seriously, my grandfather's hobbies
include lawn management, aging, and voting. We need to get
the young people involved in politics so the politicians will get
involved with young people... in a non-sexual kind of way"
NVP, however, has run inio some unexpected competition.
Their "Get Out The Vote" drive has been countered by
a new "Keep Your Vote Inside" drive, spearheaded by a group
called Young People For More Of The Same.
The group's leader. Kip Turner, says that
Y.P.F.M.O.T.S. is about getting active in urging young people
to not gel active, and keep their voice unheard. Registering
lots of new, younger voters, he says, throws off the natural
order of society. "Young people were never meant to be voting
in the percentages that the New Voters Project is aiming
for," says Turner. "Fifty percent? Sixty percent? We're supposed
to be an apathetic age group. Y.P.F.M.O.T.S. is simply
trying to maintain an image that young people have had for
generations."
Turner says the real danger is what will happen if
young people become more involved. "Our organization is
about stability. If young people start voting in record numbers,
we'll be expected to act more responsibly in other facets of
society, too. I don 't, know about you, but I'm not ready to
move out of my parents' basement just yet. I just got the furniture
arranged they way I want it. It creates a nice comfort
zone. Our anti-voting drive is about keeping our generation in
an apathetic comfort zone."
NVP director Cromwell scoff's at the anti-voting
drive. "It's ridiculous and shouldn't be taken seriously," says
Cromwell. "I doubt they've convinced anyone."
Y.P.F.M.O.T.S. leader Kip Turner, however, assures
The Stale that they've turned heads. "No, we haven't gotten
any signatures yet, and, yeah, our club is really just me and my
buddy, but I think people are wanning up to us. College kids
keep hearing that they should do this and they should do that,
i feel like I'm being should to death."

Parkside Violates U.N. Treaty,
Sanctions Imposed
Last week, U.N. inspectors finished their
periodic tour of U.W. Parkside, and yesterday,
they issued their report on the
matter. The document includes a 47 page
list of human rights abases, W.M.I), violations,
and several other categories of
offenses.
A major complaint seemed to be
the proliferation of wheeled backpacks.
The report states:
"...these insidious torture
devices are utilized at irregular intervals
of time to chip away at the sanity of the
locals. They are typically used when
large crowds are present, to maximize
their effects, hut uncertainty is sustained
by having the possibility of a rolling
backpack at any time..."
The report also mentions that
several of the inspectors succumbed to
the powerful psychological effects of
these devices before couniermeasures
were instituted.
Another complaint was that a
massive amount of the budget is devoted
to worthless "public" projects which
most sec as a monument to the ruling
aristocracy.
In response to these and other
offenses, the U.N. has allocated 300 billion
of humanitarian aid over the next
twenty years to be doled out by the ruling
aristocracy. Hopes arc high in the U.N.
that these measures will be sufficient.
Martha Stewart Reign Of Terror Ends
Style guru Martha Stewart reported to
prison in Aldcrson, West Virginia on
Friday, ending a reign of terror that has
plagued the nation for more than a decade.
Stewart, founder and CEO of Martha
Stewart Living Omnimcdia Inc., was
indicted in June of 2003 for obstruction of
justice and securities fraud.
"This was a brutal regime," said
prosecutor Bcrnic Whipple. "This was a
woman who, metaphorically, raped and pillaged
the minds of women all over this
country. She has become destructive to the
masses — a weapon if you will."
Arriving at her home early Friday,
police found Stewart hiding in a spider
hole which she had dug in her front lawn.
Upon entering the underground hidey-hole,
authorities noted the decorum to follow
largely an Egyptian theme.
"I would say it was more Old
Kingdom Egypt," said investigator Johnny
Grant. "I saw some designs reminiscent of
Giza and the Funerary Complex of Djoscr.
lots of pyramidal motifs. There was a bit
of New Kingdom Egypt as well ~ some
Akhenaten. some Hatshepsut. It all flowed
very well and really held the spider hole
together."
Stewart will serve five months in
the federal prison camp for her suspicious
sale of stock in bioiech firm fmClone
Systems Inc.. but is expected to return to
her position at Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia Inc. upon completing her sentence.
Burger King Employee To Wipe Smirk
Off Face Of McDonald's Employee
GHRMANTOWN, WIS - George Km, fry cook at a local
Burger King in Gcrmantown, Wisconsin, is seriously considering
walking over to the competing McDonald's
across the street and wiping the smirk off their fry cook's
face. It's a thought he's had many times before, but recent
events have brought this fast food competition to a boil.
"I was taking out the grease bucket one night,"
said Ern. "Their fry guy was doing the same. Over at
McDonald's, they apparently have really nice grease
buckets, but you didn't hear that from tnc. He looked
down at my old dirty bucket with its broken handle, and
he had this real smug look on his face. T just wanted to
kick his ass," said Em, his eyes narrowed. Ern was
angered, but he let it go, thinking it was simply a random
confrontation.
Recently, however. Ern says that a number of
McDonald's employees, dressed in their civilian clothes,
came over to Burger King to order lunch. The
McDonald's employees could be heard giggling and
snickering as they ordered items like "Whimpers" and
"ang-ass burgers." When the order was rung up, the
McDonald's employees complained that they weren't
"getting it their way."
'That part angered me the most," says Ern. "You
know, sometimes we might accidentally drop onion rings
into your fry orders, but wc always do it your way. Those
bastards know it. We take that very seriously around here.
Wc don't joke about that crap."
The confrontations continued through the week.
McDonald's employees used the Burger King rcstrooms,
writing "Burger King sucks!" in McDonald's ketchup. Km
instantly identified it as McDonald's ketchup because of
its unique taste. "Their ketchup has a langy sweetness to it
— everyone in the business knows that."
Km regularly sits Outside Burger King these
days, staring at the McDonald's restaurant across the
street. "What's with those stupid playgrounds? We're here
to feed you not play with your kids," says Em. "It's just —
wait, here comes someone. Oh, he's going to dump the
grease bucket. Lets see if he looks. He's looking. Yeah,
smile while you can, stupid ass. iH be over soon to wipe
that smile off your face. That's right, walk away, bitch."

2004 DEBATE COVERAGE
Cheney Demands 'No
Mirrors, Natural Light'
Rule For VP Debate
CLEVELAND, OH - Hie first presidential
debate between incumbent president George W.
Bush and Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts
was highly criticized for the elaborate set of
rules laid out by the candidates in advance.
Critics of the rules say it makes the debate less
about issues and more about appearances.
The vice presidential debate between
incumbent VP Dick Cheney and Senator John
Edwards of North Carolina last week involved
similar rules, but also included rules submitted
by Cheney which bordered on bizarre.
Cheney submitted a mysterious request
weeks in advance asking that there be no mirrors
allowed in the debate hall at Case Western
Reserve University in Cleveland. Tn a lett er to
the Commission on Presidential Debates,
Cheney emphasized that there could not be any
"highly reflective surfaces of any kind." Bush-
Cheney campaign headquarters labeled the
request a "self-esteem issue."
Also in the letter, the vice president
demanded that the hall "contain no natural
light," and "no light sources which could emit
any kind of U V (ultra violet] light," citing his
delicate skin condition. Further demands included
prohibiting the use of sharpened pencils, religious
paraphernalia, and odorous vegetation.
The vice president was unavailable forcomment
as of this morning.
60% Of Americans Wish Debates
Involved Some Kind Of Weapon
The latest polls show that less than
half of the American population are
tuning into the presidential debates.
The question is. why?
In a recent study,
researchers found that most
Americans view the debates as
either boring or even pointless.
Yes. the debates address subjects
that are pertinent to the American
public, but they lack excitement.
One solution given by
researchers is the inclusion of a
"combat session." The study
shows that nearly 60% of
Americans believe the debates
would be more interesting if they
involved some kind of weapon.
"1 think weapons would
prove to us that they're really fighting
for the issues," says Tom Gatty,
registered voter in Wisconsin.
"Because they actually are fighting
for the issues."
As the study proposes,
these sessions would include two
separate racks of various weapons,
one on each side of the stage. The
weapons area would include, but
not be limited to, nunchakus,
spears, sword and shield combos,
maccs, baseball bats, rubber mallets,
and other various implements
of destruction. The weapon racks,
however, would not include
firearms, as these combat sessions
are not meant to end in death, but
rather showcase a candidate's
hand-to-hand combat skills.
The study's coordinator.
Reed Fletcher, says this combat
session would provide voters with
a sort of "reference point" when
election time comes around. "This
idea is not so far fetched," says
Fletcher. "Remember, this is how
ancient societies 'chose' their leaders."
Teen Openly Disregards Seatbelt Laws
Michael Cowans, 18 of Somcrs, displayed open
disregard for Wisconsin state seatbelt laws last
Wednesday. The violation occurred while
Cowans and several friends were cn route to
University of Wisconsin-Parksidc's Disc Golf
course. As of press lime, when contacted for
comment, Michael Cowans could not be reached.
His best friend, Tim Van De Bogart, 17, reported
that, "[Michael] not only refused to put on the
seatbelt, but spoke out loudly against the seatbelt
laws for most of the car ride."
Cowans had apparently cited several
reasons for his blatant disregard of the seatbelt
laws, including his desire to "stick it to the Man,"
and the fact that the seatbelt in question was
uncomfortable and often gave him a rash.
Cowans' "steady girlfriend," Jessica
Lorcnz, 17, was present during the crime and
feels that this violation is just one more way in
which he tries to, "rebel against the system." In
a press conference held the following Friday, she
told reporters, "Mikcy is always breaking the
rules, always sticking it to the Man. While I
don't necessarily agree with his motives, I gu ess I
support him and will continue to support him
throughout this ordeal. Sure, it may be a bit
immature, but I gu ess that's what 1 love about
him."
According to sources close to Michael,
this was not an isolated incident. Lorcnz and Van
De Bogart both agree that the recent disregard for
the seatbelt laws is not unlike Cowans' past
exploits, which include loitering violations and
several instances of J-walking. "This is just like
when he wore his baseball hat to school last
year," !x>renz explained. "You know he does it
just to get attention and seem 'different,' but
eventually he'll get sick of rebelling against the
seatbelt laws and will find some other minor law
to break."
Over the weekend. The Slate headquarters
received an anonymous tip insinuating that
Cowans "wears his seatbelt religiously while
driving alone, but only disregards the seatbelt
laws when driving with friends and family." A
hidden camera investigation is currently being
launched to get to the bottom of this story, and
The State will keep readers updated on all the latest
developments.
Mohammed Ali Not Allowed On Airplane
Yesterday, as Mohammed Ali
attempted to board a commercial
jetliner, he was denied access by
airport security. Apparently his
name set off flags with the newly
installed anti-terrorism software
used by security screeners.
Henry Morgan, chief of
the security detail, said, "Basically,
he's black and Muslim, so we knew
he had to be up to something." His
assistant also said, "He was acting
all jittery. I knew I recognized his
name from somewhere, and then it
hit me - he was one of the original
9-11 hijackers." after a short pause,
he added, "at least I'm pretty sure
that's where ! heard it from."
Security experts pointed
out that Ali "had it coming." His
past would seem to support this
statement. During the Vietnam
War, he publicly declared that he
would not serve in the military if
drafted. Anti-terror expert Karl
Peters said, "It is clear to any student
of history that Ali was trying
to save himself for his time of holy
jihad."
Also, officials pointed out
that, when searched, Ali was carrying
a fingernail clipper. For those
not familiar with this weapon, it has
not one. but two blades, and is commonly
agreed by security experts to
be a preferred weapon of terrorists.
A Brief Word For The Not-Too-Terribly-Bright

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editors of The Stare,
I'm glad to see you guys are finally getting some
recognition for your fine comedic skills. But I've just noticed
(laws of time and space not withstanding) that you arc now
within the pages of The Ranger News. Don't get me wrong, I
think it's good that you guys arc getting out of your mothers'
basements, but to leech off of the Ranger like that? Seems a
bit low. It's unfortunate that you would risk the reputation of
the school's official paper just for your own personal glory.
Have you no shame? I gue ss the world really hasn't changed
after September 11th. To think that people will stoop so low
just for a few mediocre jokes. You, sir, sicken me.
Sincerely,
Henry Gaskins
Editor-in-Chief, The Ranger News
To Whom It May Concent,
When i he ard thai your publication was being included
within the pages of The Ranger News, T must admit that T wept
openly. These were, however, not tears of joy. Far from it. I
weep for the sad future of satire that will undoubtedly come
from this. Having read past issues of The Slate, 1 can say with
some certainty that today is a dark day for UW Parksidc, for this
country, and indeed the world. You call yourselves the Satirical
Writers Guild, but there's nothing funny about this. The word
"satire" doesn't quite fit. "Filth" seems far more appropriate.
Again, this is wrong. 1 only hope that we're able to look our
children square in the eyas when wc tell them that wc allowed
this to happen. Until then, be sure to go out and purchase
Master and Commander, starring mc, Russell Crowe, now on
DVD. Unleash hell!

POINT ' CROSSFIRI it COUNTERPOINT 0 This President's Policies
Are Dangerous For Future
Generations

I Have The Ability To
Control Magnetic Fields
By Bob Wcrkowski
Quality Control Technician, Keebler
Ever since George W. Bush look office it's been once hazardous policy after
another. We're looking at a pitiful job market, environmental protection standards have
been rolled back, the federal deficit is the largest it's been in the history of America, and
our bullying approach to foreign relations leaves us vulnerable to terrorist attacks. This
president's policies are flat-out dangerous. But while we living today certainly feel their
negative effects, the children of our future will undoubtedly be left with a crippled country.
Imagine a child growing up in a post-George W. Bush era. rhey go to school —
one of the only left standing in their city -- hoping to get the new textbooks they were
promised. These textbooks arc said to have pictures of real trees, something these children
are unfamiliar with. The last tree would die in captivity before many of them were born.
On the way home from Cheney Elementary, they arc escorted by soldiers, because
the police state they live in doesn't allow anyone to walk the streets unwatched. They
arrive at their shanty in Sector 17 and arc greeted by their mutant parents. The fallout
from World War 3 has given their father an extra arm, while their mother has no arms at
all. They constantly bicker about it.
'Maybe, if you're good," the mother says, "we'll get a new shanty for Ashcroft
Day." The children cry at the thought of Ashcroft Day. "Don't cry, children, says the
father. "Remember the song? He knows it when you're sleeping, he knows when .vou'n?
awake, he knows when you've been bad or good, 'cause a camera's watchin' us." The children
sob even louder. The mother fccts them both a Kleenex.
Is this is the world you want future generations growing up in? Of course you
don't. But this is what George W. Bush's policies will bring us.

fields. Yes, that is correct. Magnetism! T know what you arc thinking. "Why, that is
impossible." Well, perhaps for a mere mortal such as yourself. But not I. For it is a simple
concept for mc. And I use my powerful skill to annoy everyday people in the simplest
of ways.
T control the magnetic field around your car. T change the frequency of the radio
waves that your car intercepts to frequencies that are more suitable to my tastes. Look at
you, navigating the roads! As if such a thing were true! I contr ol the compass that you so
naively rely on. It is not as good a friend as you once thought. Your trusty compass may
indicate that you are traveling south, but that is indeed a falsity. Don't be fooled, my
friend, for you arc in fact heading in a northerly direction! T once again have turned your
world upside-down with my demonstration of magnetic manipulation!
But my understanding of magnetism docs not end there. No sir. Watch what do
to your refrigerator. Watch as I create a type of "reverse" magnetic field around your
earthly, Kenmore appliance. Instantly, your Alnico magnets no longer adhere to the
fridge's surface. And ail your documents, your photos of loved ones, your child s crude
drawings, and most importantly, your dreams, come crashing down to the ground like
everyday refuse. And T - I will stand aside you. laughing at you, mocking your mishaps.
That is the power of magnetic fields! That is the power of Boh Wcrkowski!

Fires burned the prairies at UW-Parkside on
April 23 and 24 as groundskeepers took care of
the two-year maintenance of the fields.
"It helps prairie restoration," according to
Sherry Jay, who i~ a groundskeeper here."We do
this about every other year."
The groundskeepers lit the fires early in the
morning, starting at about 7:30 and spreading
the fires through the fields until the fields were
completely burned, which took almost eight
hours each day.They used a mixture of unleaded
and diesel gasoline to spread the fires with
a drip torch.
"In about three weeks the grass will start
sprouting again through the burned soil," said
Jay.
Police officer Chris Moeller was on the
scene to supervise and make sure no living animals
were being harmed.

On April 16, 2003, at 8:00
p.rn., hypnotist Fredrick Winters
gave an entertaining show as he
hypnotized volunteers from the
audience (mostly Parkside students
and some from the public).
About 75 people attended
and admission was free. The
event was sponsored and organized
by the Parkside Activities
Board (PAB). Winters travels
over 200,000 miles per year giving
his shows to corporations
and universities. He has hypnotized
over 100,000 people and
travels 9 months every year. He
gave a noon show at Alverno
College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
earlier in the day Winters is
from Delavan, Wisconsin, and
still makes his home there. The
show lasted for about ninety
minutes.
Before Winters asked for volunteers
from the audience to
join him on stage to be hypnotized
he said, "I do not know

show by reminding the audience
that sometimes hypnotism
works and sometimes it does
not. He thinks it is a great thing
and recommends it to those
who are looking for positive
changes in their lives and the
ability to relax. Make sure to see

Reporter
Consuelo R. Clemens, International
Programming Coordinator
at the Center of International
Studies (CIS), and Program
Assistant Laurie Odegaard
have a goal: they want to
get the word out about the multiple
opportunities that CIS has
to offer both students and faculty
Clemens' wish is for international
education as a whole
to become part of the mindset
for all students. She saw Rusty
Harris' article on foreign
exchange students in the April
1-17 issue of The Ranger News
as a perfect opportunity to follow
up on what CIS is all about.
Clemens sees the role of CIS
as a connector, a bridge for
other faculty members to get
students involved. So far, the
message that she gets from UWParkside
is that the institution is
very committed to international
education. The university
saw the importance of establishing
a center and of ultimately
hiring a full-time International
Programming Coordinator-
Clemens has been on
board since January She
recently spoke about the "three
hats" CIS wears: the academic
side of International Studies,
the Study Abroad/Study Tour'
Programs, and International
Student Services.
The International Studies
degree program offers both a
major and a minor as well as a
certificate in Global Skills, providing
opportunities for graduates
in business, government,
economics, and politics, to
name a few. As the CIS Program
Assistant, Odegaard
wants students to know that
they can call or stop by the
center anytime with questions
or concerns about international
education. There are
approximately 40 students currently
enrolled in International
Studies.
CIS' Study Abroad/Study
Tour component is composed
of travel opportunities at three
levels. UW-Parkside offers shortterm
study tours to countries
such as China and Ghana led
by a faculty member who has
expertise in the specific country
There are long-term
exchange programs available
through the UW system and CIS
can provide students with the
appropriate information. CIS is
also affiliated with other study
abroad opportunities such as
CEA (Cultural . Experience
Abroad) and ICCE (International
Council for Cultural Experience.)
Funding opportunities
are available to students
through UW-Parkside's Financial
Aid office to travel overseas.
Since the spring of 2000,
state funding has been available
in the form of grants and
awards to eligible students for
travel/study abroad programs.
Students can attend monthly
information sessions or stop by
CIA for information oil any of
these programs.
Clemens says that one of
her goals as International Programming
Coordinator for CIS
is to break down the three
myths regarding studying
abroad: (1) no money, (2) no
time within the education program,
and (3) the fear factor,
such as being alone in a different
country. Clemens sees
these myths as best challenged
right away in freshmen orientations.
While she admits that
studying abroad is not for
everyone, she feels that it is her
job to help students, parents,
and faculty make informed
decisions.
The third hat of CIS is the
services offered to the inbound
international students studying
at UW-Parkside. Odegaard says
that there are approximately
sixty-five students currently
enrolled. Most are here as
transfer students, but several
will attend 3-4 years for their
bachelor or master degrees.
CIS will begin providing services
to make the transition for
the student as comfortable as
possible by interfacing the student
within the academic program
as well as within their
local community CIS currently
works with Adventures in life-
Long Learning (A.L.L.), setting
international students up with
local families who can provide
a contact person, airport transportation,
and even an
overnight stay in their home.
Other ways in which CIS
promotes awareness of international
education is through cultural
programs, such as the
recent Evening fn Greece. In
previous years, "Evening In"
showcased a culture to include
information about language,
education, and entertainment
from countries such as Brazil,
Italy,and Pakistan. Lectures are
presented focusing on a specific
area, political figure,economic
issue, or international crisis.
The goal is to bring international
issues to the forefront and
share information about world
events with students and the
community.

Roman Pobaruyev
Russian Class Facilitator
When freshmen enter
the doors of the University
for the first time
in their lives, they
unavoidably experience
a complex mix of
excitement and overwhelmingness.
I too remember my confused
state of mind in my first
day at Parkside, when I didn't
know exactly what offices to go
to, what people to talk to, and,
most importantly, what classes
to take right away,However, this
sensation was nothing in cornparison
with my feeling of thrill
and anticipation of great educational
opportunities and
chances that were ahead of me.
"I am finally in college! I am
finally an adult' Now I can do
and accomplish something
that wasn't possible in high
school and before, something
that I have dreamt about all
this time, something that will
surprise even me,"
I am a Russian class facilitator
here at Parkside. I am a
student just like you, helping
others to learn this beautiful
and interesting language. Russian
is my native language, and I
am always happy to help others
who express interest in it.
Russian 101 starts this fall and
is organized as a distance
learning class. The instructor,
Gwen Walker, is in UW-Stevens
Point with another group of
students from the class. Lectures
are held as video conferencing
sessions, and, in my
opinion, this makes the whole
experience even more interesting.
I help students with homework,
and provide immediate
assistance with jiijii_'jii ......__

and how

extra help, I
offer free tutoring
after classes.
You may be
interested in
Russian for various
reasons. Some of you have
always been fascinated by Russian
culture, history and literature,
some plan to work with
Russian companies in the
future, some have friends in
Eastern Europe, and some may
just want to impress their
friends and relatives. Beside
these reasons
to study Russian,
there is a
really good
practical
one: taking
Russian will
fulfill your

requirement,
which says
that every student
needs at

semesters of
a foreign language to graduate.

I am really happy that Russian

it helps to make this schoola

anyone can do something different.

SECOND ANNUAL ENGLISH CONFERENCE A SUCCESS
"A testament to the caliber of students"
Mlichele Torner '
Reporter
UW-Parkside has
something to boast
about-for the past two
years, it has been host
to one of the largest
undergraduate conferences
in the country.
On April 11th, the Second
Annual Undergraduate
Conference
in Literature, Media,
and Film was held on
our campus, proving a
success for both participants
and attendees.
The brainchild of English
Professors Dean Karpowicz
and Jay McRoy, the goal of the
conference is to bring together
students of all majors and background.
McRoy says,"Dean and
I recognized that the student
body at UW-Parkside consists of

some of Wisconsin's brightest
and most creative minds, and
we wanted to provide a forum
where students could share
their ideas, perspectives, and
understandings of a wide variety
of literary and filmic texts.
Participating
in conferences
is a
vital aspect
of the educat

process, and
to have an
undergraduate
conference
is very
special. It is
a testament
to the enthusiasm
and intelligence of Parkside
students." McRoy adds that
participating in an event such
as this looks great on resumes
and graduate school applications.
According to McRoy, last
year's Inaugural conference
was a "resounding success" and
this year's conference was

equally successful. McRoy
feels the highpoint of the conference
was "being able to see
and hear so many excellent
papers." He sees it as a "testament
to the caliber of students
we have here at UW-Parkside,"
which is a
quality that

McRoy felt
the same
"rush" at the
conference
that he feels
each time
he leaves a

This year's keynote speaker,
Eric Hoffman from Northern
Illinois University, is a close personal
friend of McRoy's.

timely topic, but a point of
interest for many of the people
attending the conference.
All in all, Karpowicz and
McRoy were "tremendously

nee
McRoy says
t hat
although
this year's
conference
was about
the same
size as last
year's, this
year's event
was "better
attended."
One
notable difference compared
to last year was that this year's
conference was opened up to
students from neighboring
schools, bringing a couple of
participants from UW-Milwaukee
and UW-Whitewater.
In years to come, Karpowicz
and McRoy would like to see
the conference get "larger and

larger." They hope this increase
will come not only from students
and faculty at UW-Park·
side, but from more participants
from other Midwestern universities
and colleges as well. Stu·
dents from all academic disciplines
are

to participate,

Beware - "The End" is coming
Sat. May 3, 2003 at the Sports and Activities building on campus
Henry Gaskins
Reporte",r _
In the fall of 1999,
Jamie Freeman envisioned
a gathering
known as The Main
Event which would
unite all students of
the UW-Parkside community
He and other
student leaders, such
as Michael Kamphius
coordinated an all day
gathering that featured
bands, games, and novelty
activities.
"That event was a great success,"
Freeman said." We had a
huse turnout. and the diverse
crowd had a good time."
The idea, and the venue was
effective in bringing people
together, which made it seem
worthwhile to do again, according
to Freeman.
Now, in the spring semester
of 2003, a committee has been
formed to organize the same
type of event, but on a larger
scale. The Main Event, also
known as "The End", will be
held on Saturday May3,2003 in
the fieldhouse at the Sports
Activity Center, which can comfortably
fit more than 3,000 peopIe.
"This is my last semester
here at Parkside" said Freeman.
"I wanted to help leave one
final impression."
Sabrina Morgan, who is President
of the Parkside Activities
Board (PAB) has spearheaded
(PIC), and Students of India
(SOl).
"Alot of people have spent
a lot of time working together
to help
make this
event a success:'
Morgan
stated.
The
event will
be divided
into two
parts. The
first part,
from 1:00
P.M.to 7:00
pm, will be
free to all
students and feature seven
bands including Crash, a Dave
Matthews cover band. It will
also have various novelties
such as rock climbing, bouncy

UW-PARKSIDE PRESENTS
CHALLENGING PLAY "STOP KISS"
KENOSHA,Wis.-The University
of Wisconsin-Parksides
Plays At Parkside series presents
the final four performances
of the challenging new
play "Stop Kiss"May 1 to May 3.
Written by Diana Son and
directed by UW-Parkside Theatre
Arts Professor Tom Sunstrom,
the production contin-
. ues with two evening performances
and two matinees.
"Stop Kiss"tells the story of
two women, Callie and Sara.
Sara, played by Tara Ketterer,
moves from St. Louis to New
York to become a school
teacher. After Callie, portrayed
by Jacquie Beyer, meets Sara,
the two women are unexpectedly
attracted to each other.
"ft's about two people who
fall in 10ve,"Sunstromsaid."The
fact that they're of the same sex
is, f think, secondary to the
story The main point is about
commitment.The main character
is put in a position where
she is forced to make some
decisions about her life and
make commitments, long-term
commitments, to something for
the first time ever. And that's
something anybody can relate
to."
Callie and Sara's relationship
is not without consequences,
consequences that
change their lives forever.
Sunstrom called "Stop Kiss"
a very powerful and very uplifting
play, a play that is gaining
nationwide attention and
acclaim.
"Slowly but surely, it's the
play that moving it's way across
the country and it's becoming
very very popular," he said.
fn addition to Beyer and
Ketterer in the lead roles, the
cast includes Brandon Anderson
as Peter, Sara's boyfriend
from St. Louis; Lenny Banovez
as George; Carina Henderson
as Mrs. Winsley; Brian Van-
Schyndel as Del. Cole; and
MelissaVanSwol as the nurse.
This production is intended
for mature audiences.
"Stop Kiss" is performed

p.m., and May 3 at 4 and 7:30
p.m. Seating is limited. For tickets,

Editor·in-Chief
I have known since Septemberthat
this issue, the last of the
2003 academic year, would also
be the last in which I would be
acting as the Editor-in-Chief. I
have spent countless hours in
front of my computer, on the
telephone, editing articles and
scrambling for something to fill
the last two open columns in
an otherwise completed edition;
I have benefited. from
every moment spent on this
endeavor.
An overwhelming fear of
failure enveloped me as I
walked into The Ranger News
office on my first day in January
2002. f had no idea what I
was doing or what to expect,
but with the help of some
exceptional individuals I
learned that it was a task that I
could complete. Deborah
Hahm started as my Advertising
Manager and became a person
I will call friend for the remainder
of my days. She is intelligent,
caring and most importantly
she is not afraid to tell
me when Iam wrong. I also met
good fortune the day that I met
Professor Judy Logsdon. On a
countless number of occasions
I have called upon Professor
Logsdon to share her immense
wisdom. Not only has she been
willing to do so in the matters
of newspaper production, she
has also shared her intelligence
in the matters of life as well.
She is a strong, loyal and courageous
woman whose influence
I will continue to carry with me
long after my last issue of The
Ranger News is completed.
As I· prepare to lock the
office door one more time
behind me I am curious as to
what new and terrifying places
my life will take me. I never
expected to be the Editor-in-
Chief in a college newspaper
and I am certain that whatever
might come next will be equally
surprising and can only hope
that it will be as satisfying as my
job here at UWP"s student
newspaper The late jazz singer
Nina Simone states it best, "Tis
the morning of my life;' and I
look forward to walking
through the day into the
evening.

Rusty Harris
After one semester here as a
student at the University of Wisconsin
Parkside, I have grown
accustomed to living a rich academic
and cultural lifestyle. I
attended a technical college
prior to attending UW-Parkside
where there were less students,
smaller class sizes, and smaller
classrooms. I have found that by
just walking from class to class
here one burns a lot of calories!
I was shocked when I went to
my first class and saw over fifty
students. Feeling overwhelmed
by these new surroundings and
new course work was difficult,
but after a few weeks of school I
felt a lot more at ease on campus.
I took a class called university
seminar and found that it
really helped me become
accustomed to university life.
The seminar taught me the

about this school and its curriculum.

job and I hope to mirror

Plant provides the
heat and air conditioning
to all the building
on campus. The heat is
supplied by high pressure
steam while the
airconditioning is provided
by chilled water.
Keeping the temperature
comfortable in all the buildings
the entire year is no easy task,
but the university staff takes to
the challenge gallantly. When a
problem does arise it is taken
care of efficiently and in a manner
that is well thought out.
arely is there a problem that !iS so large the university
staff is unable to handle it,
but on the occasions when such
problems do arise the staff
must depend on the assistance
of outside contractors.
Presently such a problem
does exist. There is a steam leak
between the Communication
Arts building and the Sports and
Activities building.
The steam through out campus
is kept at a constant pressure
of l25psi. This ensures that
there is enough heat to warm

Peng Her teaches Kung Fu class
in his chosen profession.
"It's a good opportunity to
learn Kung Fu", said Dennis
Butzen."It's free too."
Her teaches his students
escape techniques, various
fighting movements, and even
.wall climbing. He presents scenarios
to help students envision
how his teachings might
be useful.
"Karate, Tai Kwan Do, and
Kickboxing all have a similar
style," according to Jill Clark,
who is a student of Her's."Kung
Fu is completely different:'
All of Her's students recommend
his Kung Fu class and
plan on taking it as long as it is
offered at UW-Parkside.
With enough student interest,
Her hopes to teach Kung Fu
this summer. Students interested
should stop in the intramurclasses.
Peng Her started
instructing intramural Kung Fu
this semester, and his classes
are more than helpful in learning
self-defense techniques.
They are action-packed and
exciting.
Kung Fu is a Chinese form
of self-defense where fluid circular
movements of the arms
and legs are used to-attack an
opponent.
Her's students say that Kung
Fu has been a great learning
experience because his teaching
is very hands-on and never
boring. Some of his students
take the class because they
feel it will be useful in their
careers after they graduate.
Zachary Scott, for instance,
plans to become a police officer.
He said learning Kung Fu
will without a doubt be helpful
Her helps his students get ready to
practice Kung Fu movements.

De-Stress Yourself!
Now
By:ValeriMe endralla
Peer Health Educator
Term papers, presentations,
assignments, projects, final
exams....these, just to name a few,
can be sources of stress for students,
especially in the beginning 01
May. It i.s normal to leel some worry
belore this difficult time of the
semester, but letting these feelings
build up can be detrimental to your
health. Not allowing yoursell to destress
in healthy ways can lead to
anxiety, sleep deprivation,and a lowered
immune system making you
more susceptible to illness.
Unhealthy ways of dealing with
stress include irresponsible alcohol
consumption, increased caffeine
intake, and staying up too late at
night. These unhealthy tactics can
lead to even more stress in your
future.
So, what are some healthy
ways to de-stress? Well, the Peer
Health Educators will be holding a
Stress Relief event on Monday, May
5, through Wednesday. May 7. They
will have a table set up in Molinaro
where students can come by and
relief their stress in healthy ways.
Some things they can do include
making stress balls, marble paint,
play Nintendo 64, enter to win free
movie tickets to Tinseltown, and
much more! Teaming up with PASA
(Parkside Adult Student Alliance),
there will also be massage school
students on-hand to give FREE massages
for limited times throughout
the three-day event. Another added
bonus is a free party to students in
The Den (located on the ground
level of the Union) on Wednesday,
May 7, lrom 3pm-7pm. Bowling,
pool, loosball, air hockey, sure shot
basketball,and ping pong will all be
FREE to students between those
hours. Food is not included.
Stress is something that can
be managed if you know how to do
it. The Peer Health Educators invite
you to visit their Stress Relief event
and lind out which de-stressing
technique works best for you. Start
your summer off the right way-stress
free!

Sexual assaults on the. rise
By Michele Torner
Reporter
I
Sexual assaults on campus
are on the rise. Even more
shocking is the fact that most
perpetrators are known by their
victims. That's right- "acquaintance
rape" is occurring here at
UW-Parkside,and it is happening
more often than we'd like to
think.
The problem? "People want
to trust each other, especially in
a college environment," says
Officer Marlene Schlecht.
"College is about getting to
know and trusting new people."
While trust might be a good
thing, having too much of it
could create problems. When
alcohol is added to that mix,
one's instinct to trust is further
impaired. Unfor.tunately, the
majority of these assaults that
are reported on campus are
alcohol-related.
Schlecht is frustrated. An
advocate for sexual assault
awareness, she says students are
educated on this very important
issue at freshman orientations.
Many students are living
away from home for the first
time in an environment which
may be less restrictive, includon
the Inside
ing a larger interaction with
peers of the opposite sex. As
trust is part of the problem,peopie
might venture off with
someone they hardly know,
putting themselves in a potentially
risky situation.
Schlecht says that "clear signals"
are key to a solution for
these crimes. Women need to
communicate more clearly
what their actions are saying,
stressing, "They
need to be very
clear." Men also
need to make sure
they are receiving
clear signals and if
they are not sure,
they need to ask!!
Trust comes with
respect, and that is
something that
can only come in
time, not on a first date.
ft is important that students
are aware of the support offered
to them on campus as victims
of sexual assault. Along with
Schlecht, Deann Stone, Director
of Student Life, and Marcy
Hufendick, Manager and Senior
Counselor of Student Health
Services are the co-coordinators
of the Sexual Assault
Advocacy Program on campus.
Their union consists of three
diff.erent aspects of sexual
assault awareness: lawenforcement,
university relations, and
counseling, leaving no area
uncovered. The program teaches
sexual assault awareness to
students and trains resident
advisors as well as other mernbers
of the advocacy program.
Victims can also find support
from Student Health and
Counseling Services (595-
2366), the Dean of
Students(595-2419), Campus
Police(595-2455) and the office
of Student Life(595-2419).Most
of these staff members are
trained on sexual assault awareness.
There are also' several
pamphlets available on campus,
offering information
on preventing
sexual
assaults as well as
resources for victims.
~ While it is
~,. encouraged that
~ all. victims report
~ assaults to the
~ police, Officer
Schlecht also
wants victims to know that they
have other options. She says
that if victims "do not know for
sure what ttiey want to do, I
encourage them to call an
advocate." There are yellow
advocacy signs up around campus,
giving students contact
names and numbers. These
advocates are trained with the
resources that are available to
victims and they will walk victims
through their options. One
thing an advocate will urge a
victim to do is to seek medical
assistance. Schlecht says,
"When it comes to sexual
assault, there are a lot of things
we don't think of." Besides the
physical injuries, there are sexuDiversity
at UWP
Page: 3
ally transmitted diseases to
consider, not to mention the
emotional impact a victim
.might suffer. Schlecht adds
.that by seeking medical assistance,

the
c rim e ,sLIChsltlJations; not to menbut
the"

to them.
While
sexual
assaults with known perpetrators
might be the most common
sexual crimes reported
on campus, there have also
been a couple of 4th degree
sexual assaults reported, both
occurring on the cross country
trails during events. Therefore,
students need to take precautions
when venturing out
alone, especially in the
evening. Cell phones and
awareness might be the best
defense in such situations, not
to mention going with another
person if at all possible.
Schlecht also stresses that students
need to report anything
suspicious, despite the seemingly
harmful content. For
instance, there was an incident
of a perpetrator driving around
fnner Loop Road in the nude.
After it was reported, it was
found that the subject had
done this previously. Why wasn't
it reported before? While it
might seem comical and harmless
to some, Schlecht points
out that this "lewd and lascivious"
behavior
can very well
lead to more
serious
actions.
"What happens
when
that's not
enough for
him?" she
worries.
Schlecht,
along with
her fellow
advocates, takes her subject
very seriously. April is "Sexual
Assault Awareness Month" and
there are several events
planned on campus. March
31st-April 2nd brings "Breaking
Silence" to campus, an interactive
educational arts presentation
about sexual assault.
Schlecht saysthat they are also
looking for organizations that
want to sponsor events promoting
awareness and the options
that are available to victims on
campus, such as a talk she
would like to give on "Surviving
Sexual Assault". Anyone interested
should contact Officer
Marlene Schlecht at the
Campus Police Department at
595-2455. The rest of us should
get involved in any way we can
to help make this a very successful
Sexual Assault
Awareness Month.

Do you want an STD?
Sandee Cornell
Reporter
Besides- HIV/AIDS,there are
over twenty STDs and if left'
untreated, many can cause cancer,
infection, sterility,and possibly
even death. According to
the UWP Peer Health
Educators, 33,000 Americans
get an STD every day. That
makes 12,045,000 people per

Why are so many people

sex with one uninfected pariner,
and you reduce your own

UW-Parkside presented
"SPANGLISH" discussion
The University of WisconsinParkside

at the emerging language called
"Spanglish" during a panel discussion
Thursday, Mar. 27.
Presented by the Friends of the
UW-Parkside Library, the program
begins at 7:15 p.m.
Titled "The Legitimacy 'of
'Spanglish," the program looks
at a language that isn't really
English while not quite being
Spanish. The discussion is moderated
by Alex McNair who
teaches Spanish as well as
Spanish literature and culture
as an assistant professor in UW
Parkside's Modern Languages
Dept. He is joined by panelists

UWP presents "Breaking Silence,"
a sexual assault exhibit.
University Press Release
The UW-P presents a powerful
multimedia program on the
devastating effects of sexual
assault-titled "Breaking Silence:'
The exhibition can be experienced
Monday, Mar, 31 through
Wednesday Apr, 2, in room 104-
106 of the Student Union,
Sexual assault is often hidden
behind a wall of secrecy.
But when one out of every
three women and one out of
every seven men suffer sexual
assault or abuse in their lifetimes,
the sheer magnitude of
the problem demands that this
secret be revealed,
"Breaking Silence" tells the
stories of 14 women and men
who have been sexually
assaulted, A large portrait photograph
of each person is displayed
and viewers are provided
portable CD players containing
interviews done with
each person, They speak candidly
about the profound
, impact sexual assault had on
them, What they have to say is
intensely emotional and often
unsettling, The intent is to create
awareness of the human
toll sexual assault takes and by
doing so make it more difficult
for perpetrators to continue
their crimes.
"Breaking Silence" is open
from 10a.rn.to 2 p.m.and again
from 4 to 8 p.m. each day.The
exhibition is sponsored by
Student Activities, the Womyn's
Center, the Parkside Activities
Board, Residence Life, and the
UW-Parkside Surviving Sexuai
Assault Advocacy Program,

this unique and enlightening

Letter to the
Womyn's Center
Letter to the Editor
March 10 2003
The Womyns Center is a
place to find resources and
inlormation about STD's,
harassment and assault It is a
place where girls in need of
help are able to receive attention
and adequate care.
As a student at the
University of WisconsinParkside,
I often pass by the
center, and have casually used
its seating area as well. During
each of those times I observed
large groups of men and
women hanging around the
counter 01 your center. The
m groups were loud, obnoxious
and defiantly a hindrance to
your organization.
Although I have not had a
need for your center, I will not
sit in its vicinity any longer.
Women are having problems
and when they go to your center
for help they are expecting
you to help them in a discreet
way.Surely the center is aware
that if a girl is struggling with
harassment and assault she is
not going to watt to publicize
her problem with the groups
that join her at the counter
It has also come to my
attention that your center has
no problem displaying graphic
photographsol the male and
fem"le. private. parts. There
muslhave been II reason or
±
educational purpose behind
these illustrations. I,however,do
question whether it is a legitimate
motivation.
I am deeply offended and
insulted by these inappropriate
graphics. I believe these pictures
are examples 01 poor and
ineffective marketing skills. I
also am skeptical that the center
is benefiting many women.
The center provides no confidentiality
because its location
and reputation for being a
"hang out" place.
My fellow students and I
deserve more respect than your
organization is providing. The
degrading images that have
been put on public display
should be eliminated or moved
to a non-visible location. The
center should also consider
delegating the traffic flow, or
perhaps moving to an entirely
new location on behal! 01 the
women that need help.
The Womyns Center is able
to help women. If they contemplate
some 01 these ideas, I am
convinced the enter and the
Parkside students will both be
able to reap the benefits. I am
confident that the staff at the
Womyns Center is willing to
take that extra step in order to
help women. .

GLVC Indoor Track
Meet at UW-Parkside
By Henry Gaskins
Soprt Editor
The Great Lakes Valley
Conference (GLVC) Indoor
Track Meet was held in the
Petretli Fieldhouse at the UWParkside
Sports Activity Center
on Saturday, March 1,2003.
The UW-Parkside Women's
Track Team took seventh place,
scoring 47 points, which is good
considering they only had 12
participants in the meet. The
Men's Track Team scored 72
points, taking fifth place.
Events included shot put,
high jumping, pole-vaulting, and
.a variety of running competitions,
such as hurdles and
relays.
Robyn Stevens came in second
place in the Women's 5000-
Meter Run, scoring eight points
. for the team. Anne Favolise
came in fourth place in the
race scoring 5 points. Adam
Anderson came in third for the
Men's 800-Meter Run, scoring 6
points for the Men's team.
UW-Parkside Athletic
Director Dave Williams said
that the Rangers did well in the
standings. Some of the teams
have more than 30 athletes, so
naturally they would score
more points than a team of
only about IS, according to
Williams.
The event was the only
track meet held at UW-Parkside
this year, except for the
Women's Race Walking Track
Championships on Saturday,
May 17,2003. -

Spring Break ends, and I accomplished zero. I didn't even get to go any-
where exotic. How many of you are sitting there thinking that the semester
is
half
over and you have yet to begin. The work continues to pile up, and
time continues to slide by. Welcome to my nightmare.
In
homage to the 2.5 students that are caught or even ahead of the game
here are my suggestions for the end of the semester.
1. Get off work for the Main Event. The plans are starting to corne togeth-
er, and it sounds like a real sucess. Check next issue for a
full
update.
3
2.
If
you are a senior planning on graduating this spring or next
December then get your graduation summary. This will help you make
plans for what you need to accomplish .
3. Talk to your professors. Overall, these are nice people who want you to
succeed.
If
you are behind, they may be able to help you.
4. Don't get all stressed out. Sometimes a break can help you focus. So,
take advantage of the rec center and athletic facility. You do pay for them.
5. Join a club, organization or other worth cause. Don't waste all your
time partying. Not only will you be doing something worthwhile, you will
meet new friends and have
fun.
Plus,
it
looks great on school admissions
and resumes. While your looking for a group, consider the Ranger News.
There are openings for Editor, Business Manager, Assitant Editor, Reporters,
Office Assistants and more. The Ranger can provide a forum for your work,
and a chance to show the school what's important. Each staff
has
full
editori-
al control and the opportunity to do what you can't right now.
Be
your own
boss and make all the decisions.

Editor
Kregg Jacoby
Rcspon$C from last weeks column wo,a gt:cat. So far eight
new writers have come looking to add their thoughts and
ideas to the paper and I hope more will follow. Goals for
our growing staff include returning to a weekly distribution
and addillg color to a couple of spreads.
Now that our staff is growing, we are looking for more
stories to cover on and off campus. Any students, faculty,
staff, organizations, or clubs that has a story that would be
important to the students of OW-Parkside should run as
fast as possible in a circle. Repeat until dizzy. Then, drop by
the Ranger office at Wyllie D•l 39c and talk to any of the
staff or leave a note in our in box. Organizations and faculty
can send information throi,gh interdepartmental mail also.
We're also looking for construc tive criticism and ideas to
make the paper a more informative and entertaining experience.
As usual, an occasional compliment )eaves us weak
kneed and weepy.
Help us do a bette r pape r by letting us know what is
important to you. lf you have free time and would like to
write a couple stories then drop by and get paid for your
work. Positions are not limited to writing. The Range r is
a lso looking for Desktop Publishers, Cartoonists, and
Busin ess A ssistants. All three positions present valuable
opportunities. to gam ·experience, have fun, and get paid
while doing tt.' Any Question? Stop by our office, near the
booksto re, in Wyllie O-139c and will do our best to answer
them .
Letter to the editor
Ignorance must be a virtue here at Parkside. The first
Black revolutionary is set to be legally executed since the
d ays of slaves and sharecroppers. Those who don't listen,
those who refuse to listen are just like the ones who are trying
to silence Mumia Abu-Jamal. Those who don't listen
and those who re fuse to may one day find themselves in the
same situation: sitting on death row for speaking the truth.
Who will be le ft to speak for you when your time comes?
You ignore your rights and they'll go away.
Wisconsin for Mumia is made up of over 100 groups and
individuals fighting for the life and voice of Mumia AbuJamal
and all political p risoners. lf you want to find out
mo re or become involved, please contact ajrc@execpc.com.
In struggle,

Gang intervention and forming a creative mind are the goals of the
Victory in Peace (VIP) artwork currently on display ~t the UWParkside
Library and the subject of a program m the hbrary. The
exhibit, sponsored by the Wu.stum Museum of FinP_ Art..::;' Book Artct
Workshop Program, features books ranging in subject matt_er from
collections of black and white photographs and poetry to conuc books
and other assorted art forms.
The program is a summer course that helps ~each y_oung children
between the ages of 6 and 11 to vent their emotions usmg art instead
of violence. In the program, children are taught how to make and
design their own paper along with various art techniqu~. .
The program was developed in Racine and began in 1992. This
year's exhibit is the fourth that the Friends of the UW-Parkside
Library have sponsored. The books illustrated by the children are limited
editions, only 20 to 30 copies will be available. They arc considered
non-traditional books and each of the books is unique, showing
the emotions of each child and their different personalities.
Caren Heft and Kelly Gallaher will be the speakers at tonight's program.
They will talk about the exhibit and how to get children
involved in VIP. Heft is a book artist and has been published in such
places as the Library of Congress. KeUy Gallaher is the artist-in-residence
who worked with the children in the summer program. 80th

Chief Justice Terri Jacobson.
senate, then taken to
1 SUFAC for approval,
and finally put in
front of the
Chancellor for his
consent.
Each senator was
given a copy of the
budget, and a heated
debate ensued when a
$48,890 increase in
funds for the senate
was proposed. The main
area of increase focused on the a Uotted
amount Chairpersons of committees
will receive. Each Chrurperson, or
the head of each committee, is
allowed $250 a semester according to
the current budget. The new proposal
includes a $750 jump where each
Chairperson receives $1000 a semester
for work done. That is a 400%
increase in committee funds.
Many senators were confused and
outraged at this, saying the increase
was not necessary.
"This [committee work] is not supposed
to be a part time job," said
President Pro Tem, Veroljub
Radulovic.
It was also revealed during the
debate that committees may not be
meeting according to their schedules
and that Radulovic, who is responsible
for keeping track of each committee's
minutes, has not been getting
information on what the committees
have actually been working on. The
question was posed if the committees
deserve to be paid more, because of
the questionable work production.
Many senators voiced their concern
about what committees have actually
done for the students of Parkside.
"If this budget goes into effect as is,
it is going against campaign promises
to keep student costs low," said
Senator Chris Leipski.
"For many years committee Ch.air:s
were given nothing for their work.
How can we justify a $48,000 increase?
Think about the students you're representing
here," said Chief Justice Terri
Jacobson.
A motion was brought to the floor
to cut the $1000 to $650, still over a
SOo/c, increase. However, under immediate
vote, the motion passed, but not
before President Corey Mandley stated
Iha t he would line item veto the
budget. This means that in order for
$22,300.
"What are we supposed to
be, a travel agency?" said
Senator Leipski.
President Cory Mandley
stated afterwards, "ln order
for the Senate to function
properly, we need about
$30,000, which is less than
other UW campuses our size.
We arc asking for so much, fully
expecting SUFAC to chop it down.
But we do have a lot of hard working
people here that deserve more than
what they're currently getting."
The budget was not agreed upon
and many senators walked out before
the meeting was adjourned. Aproposal
to 'have an emergency senate meeting
on Monday 11-8 about the budget
was rejected. It was decided that the
budget -would be put forth to SUFAC
as it stands and any further changes
made to it during next Friday's meeting
would also be put in front of
SUFAC.
PSGA meeting 10-29-99
Bec:kyDuba
The meeting opened with the new senators from the recent elections being
sworn in. After this short process, nominations for the three open SUFAC
seats were taken. SUFAC, the Segregated University Fees Allocations
Committee, is the committee that disperses aU the funds from the Parkside
Budget to the different organizations and clubs.
1n all, seven senators were nominated for the three seats: Kevin Matson,
Chds Liepski, Maria Negron, Shana Hopkins, Tarajec Amin, Theophist
Mclntyie, and Tony Milton. Following nominations, each senator was given
only a couple of short minutes to state why they deserve to be on the committee.
All of the nominated senators were very well qualified.
After their short speeches, the vote was taken. Maria Negron, the current
chairperson of the Committee, was reelected. Tony Milton was also elec:ted.
He is a junior, with a double major in Finance and Economics. There was a
tie for the third seat between Kevin Matson and Tarajee Amin. Matson was
on the committee last semester and Amin had experience as Treasurer at her
High School.
Because of the tie, a second vote was called. A second tie c:aused a third
vote to be taken. Finally, after this last vote, Kevin Matson won the seaL

everywhere, not just at UWParkside,
to try and end this epidemtc
Betsy Ade filled the hall witt
music by playing her guitar, while'
candles, whistles, and information
about violence were distributed by
Joni Calhoun and Jackie Buzzel,
coordinators of the UW-Parkside
Womyn's Center. T-shirts were sold
with proceeds going to the Aids
Resource Center of Wisconsin.
The Womyn's Center, in association
with the Gay and Lesbian
Organization, organized the rally.
The agenda for the night involved
two guest speakers: Althea Knutson
who represents Kenoshans Against
Sexual Assault (KASA), and
Marlene Schlecht, a UW-Parkside
police officer. KASA is a non-profit
organization that helps 24 hours a
day. It has a hotline, support
groups, and one-on-one counseling.
These women spoke to raise the
awareness not only of women, but
men and children, too.
After the speeches, a march was
held around the UW-Parkside
dorms to break the silence. Then
there was a bonfire built by the
Kenosha Fire Department. During
this time, the advocates observed a
moment of silence for all the
assaulted. This also gave people a
chance to speak out if they had
something to say about being a victim
or knowing someone who is.
Much was learned during this
event. For example, one in three
women will be raped in their lifetime,
85% of them by acquaintances.
One in si-x men will be
assaulted in their lifetime and 40%
of those committing the assault are
strangers. A child has to tell of his
or her assault an average of seven
times before anyone takes any
action.
For these reasons, people gathered
to "Take Back the Night."
Schlecht stated that if everyone at
the event talked to five friends
about what they learned and those
people talked to five more, maybe it
would be a start to help break the
silence among people. Photos: Jeff AJley

University Seminar is designed to
help students achieve academic and
social success at UW-Parkside. The
class has undergone some major content
changes in hopes of tailoring the
subjects to the individual student.
College Student Inventory testing
has been added to determine which
areas would best benefit the student.
As a result, seminar sessions will better
relate to each student ori a more
individual level. For instance, if the
student scores h igh in academic
skills, chances are the student will be
exempt from those seminar sessions.
The Passport to Learning is another
change made to allow students to
work with juniors and seniors and
the community outside of class. The
class is covered over a ten-week period.
To access Passport information,
students can go to the Worldwide
Web in the UW-Parksidc library. The
students will do the work outside of
class then meet with the instructor to
reflect on the experiences the class
had.
The class is designed to help the
student chose a major, set goals, and
learn about the many opportunities
UW-Parkside has to offer.
"The program is designed to offer
more variety to the students, " said
Deanne Stone, head of housing.
The class is a new pilot for the
semester to see whether or not the
changes have made a positive effect
on the s tudents. The results on the
success of the pilot will be determined
after the 1999 fall semester.
IN TWO SHORT YEARS WITH
US, YOUR VALUE
WILL REALLY GROW.

A beautiful park, with many trees,
shrubs, and terrain changes surrounds
the University of WisconsinParkside.
Thus, it is the perfect setting
for the newest variation of golf caUed
disc golf. UW-Parkside has added the
sport to its recreational offerings and
it is quickly gaini.ng popularity.
The sport was founded in the
1970's, but only recently has it become
to flourish in the United States. It is
fun, challenging, and perhaps best of
all, cheap alternative to golf. AU a student
needs is a disc - a Frisbee to most
people. The rules of the game arc basically
the same as those of "ball golf"
with the object of reaching the target
with the fewest number of throws.
Disk golf is a good excuse to get
outside for some fresh air, a healthy
walk, and an aerobic workout. It is a
sport that can be enjoyed by anybody,
regardless of disability, age, or skill
level. lt can also be played yearround,
since you're less likely to loose
a disc in the snow. A game of disc golf
usually involves no waiting and there
arc no course fees. Oise golf makes
use of the large open areas around the
school, with little cost to the school or
the student.
For a game of disc golf, students
can go to the Rec Center to check in
and take a course map. And if the
sport catches a student's interest, he

Parkside students, tacultv support
Kenosha brownfield proiect
The Ranger newspaper is looking
for qualified candidates to
fill several openings for paid
positions
News Reporters
Quarll/ oeslltop
Business Assistants
Jay Steffenhagen
The room at Kenosha's Lincoln Middle School library
was packed with local residents, city officials, and concerned
business owners when UW-Parkside students and
faculty members presented information and proposals to a
neighborhood forum on local brownfield issues on
October 26. A brownfield is an abandoned or unused commercial
and industrial site where expansion or redevelopment
is hindered because of contamination. The brownfields
in question were the Frost and Outokumpu manufacturing
sites located in the heart of the Lincoln neighborhood.
The presentation by UW-Parkside was the second such
neighborhood forum and the culmination of a yearlong
project spearheaded by Sociology Professor Anne Statham.
The UW-Parkside group presented background information
and community involvement issues. They also presented
economic development possibilities compiled and
developed by Professor of Economics Dennis Kaufman
and his class.
After much hard work, several UW-Parkside class r,rojects
are coming to fruition. Classes that provided input
into the project were Society and the Environment,
Environmental Studies Seminar and Environmental
Economics. Students from these classes represented a wide
variety of disciplines wjth majors ranging from biology to
dramatic arts.
"My observation is that involving students in community
projects deepens the learning experience," said Statham.
Students took pictures, talked to local residents,
researched environmental issues, kept journals, worked
with city officials, completed reports on economic development
proposals, conducted a summary of public files,
researched funding possibilities, and made presentations
to the community.
Sociology major and Lincoln Middle School alumnae
Tracy Hawthorne was one of the presenters.
"I like the project because it has to do with the community.
Helping my own community is especially gratifying,"
said Hawthorne.
The project has allowed UW-l'arkside students and faculty
to interact directly with the local community, providing
a forum for positive social action. One of the goals was
to provide materials for use in educating and involving the
neighborhood residents in the decision making process
about future uses of the sites.
'Tm just glad to see Parkside involved, it's nice to see
them doing something in the community," said local resident
and radio persona)jty Louis Rugaru.
Several audience members expressed similar sentiments.
Students were able to utilize some of the expertise located
right here at the University. Several faculty members
agreed to act as consultants. With students acting as
liaisons, compiling data and creating reports, this broad
knowledge base was able provide the city of Kenosha with
expert consulting on a pertinent and meaningful issue. ·
Kenosha officials involved ID the project since its inception
are UW-Parkside graduate and Kenosha Mayor John
Antaramian, Director of Cip Planning Ray Forgioni, and
Alderwoman Katherine Marks. The two sites were chosen
because they figure prominently in the Lincoln
Neighborhooa , he Frost site involves approximately four
city b locks The Outokumpu site involves nearly three
times as much area. Not only is the Outokumpu site larger,
the issues surrounding it are more complex. The site ;s currently
vacant, but up for sale. The company owning the
Frost site went bankrupt, making it easier for city officials
to start redevelopment. 1t is now owned by the city and
demolition is under way.
"I feel real good about Parkside's involvement, we
would have never known about this issue without their
involvement, I'm very grateful," said local resident Louise
UavJ.S.

AT TIAA-CREF,
WW EXPENSES ARE
A IDGH PRIORITY.
A ll financial companies charge
operating fees and expenses -
some more than others. Of course, the
lower the expenses you pay, the better.
That way., more of your money goes
where it should - toward building a
comfortable future.
As the largest retirement ays·tem in
the world, 1 we have among the lowest
expenses in the insurance and mutual
fund industries.2
In fact, TIAA-CREF's 0.35% average
fund expenses are a fraction of the
expense charges of comparable funds.3
I t'ti one reason why Morningstar says.,
"TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the
Ensuring the future
fur th:rs~ who shape it."'
financial services industry."
A focus on your future
Of course. expen&es are only one factor
to consider when you make an investment
decision. Morningstar also noted
our commitment to ••consumer education,
service" and #solid investment performance."
Because that can make a difference
in the long run, luv.
At TIAA-CREF, we believe people
would like to spend more in retirement,
not on their retirement company. Today,
over two million people count on that
approach to help them build financial
security. So can you.

Rangers take
Quincey 3-1
Alex Kulig
A cold and windy November 3
brought coach Rick Kilps to his
299th win. The victory came against
Quincey and prodded UWParkside's
mens soccer team to the
semi- final aeain,c:;t Fnrt WaynP
Saturday, November 6.
"Everybody made their adjustments
at half time and did their job.
That brought us the win," said an
ecstatic Coach Kilps.
Quincey drilled hard in the first
half. Scott Rogles, number 8, scored
the first and only goal by Quincey,
as Parkside goalkeeper Dan Tredo
foiled all other scoring attempts.
Eight minutes before the half,
Raymond James, number 7, slammed
in a decisi've first goal for Parkside.
James had another goal in the second
half. Justin Meredith, number 18, also
put one in the books for the Rangers.
"Feels pretty good. I think the second
half was our best effort. We
probably haven't played this well for
half the season. We're looking forward
to playing the number one team
(Fort Wayne] in the region in the
semi-finals. Fort Wayne is, I think,
ninth in the nation right now. They
beat us earHer in the season, so we're
looking for revenge. We haven't been
in the final of a tou rna men t in, l
think, two years. So, we're looking to
get back there and, hopefully, win it
for the first time," said Adam Riesz,
number 9, who made many excellent
saves and several scoring attempts.
'We came out more together on """°
ond half with more intensity. We capitalized
on opportunities for the whole second
half, so that was a big half for us,"
said Adam Chwala, number 15.
Good lives up
to her name
For the second time this season,
Kari Good of the Wisconsin-Parkside
women's volleyball team has been
selected Great Lakes Valley
Conference Player of the Week.
The senior form Davenport, Iowa,
led the Rangers to a win over St.
Joseph College, November 6, which
allowed the team to qualify for the
GLVC p ost -season tournament.
Good recorded her seventh tripledouble
of the year. She had 15 kills
(.325 hitting percentage), 28 digs and
42 assists. On November 5, against
IUPU Fort Wayne, sh e barely missed
another triple-double by one kill.
Good recorded nine kills (.308 hitting
percentage), 16 digs and 44 assists.

Interview with
Alex Kulig
UW•Parkside mens soccer coach
Rick l<ilps has sealed his place in
Wisconsin history. He has been
named NCAA Regional coach of the
Year twice, WSC Coach of the Year
once, NAIA Coach Area of the Year
three times, and NAIA District coach
of the year six times. He has also
received an award for Meritorious
Service for his contribution to soccer
by the Wisconsin Soccer Association.
Here's what the coach had to say
when interviewed about this monu•
mental achievement.
How does it feel to have 298 wins
under your belt?
Feels old. Tt sneaks up on you.
One day, you turn around and
you've got::. lnt nf er1mPs unrler your
belt - games played whether they'd
be wins or losses - you realize that
you've been around a long time.
How long have you been coaching?
I've been here 16 years as a head
coach. Plus my seven yea.rs at Aurora
College in Aurora, Tilinois as a head
coach makes 23 years as a head
roach. Another two years as an assistant
coach, one here at Parkside in
'75 and one at Bowling Green. So
that's 25 years.
Why soccer, out of all the sports?
Well, T played soccer as a youth.
When I was young, there was not
very much soccer around. It was just
a sport that I picked up on it and I
enjoyed it. As a graduate, I came
here. I played soccer in college and it
became my way of life.
Have you enjoyed all your years
coaching mens soccer at Parkside?
For the most part. There have been
ups and downs, but you know the
majority have been ups. I have a lot
of feeling for OW-Parkside being an
alum. For 16 years, I have taken the
program that was very shaky and
made it very stable, and created a
nice facility, a solid program and a
great deal of fantastic alumni.
Do you have any memorable
plays or moments in all the years
you've been here?
I can remember when I took the
job in summer of '84. I called everybody
on the roster. I had seven players
in July and you need 11 to play a
game. Our alumni and the foundation
director, Tom Krernnal, was the
guy who encouraged me to take the
job. l went to his house, I remember,
and about at 11:00 at night 1 said,
Sports Editor
Alex Kulig
"Tom, I can't do this. I'm leaving a
good job and this program is a mess.
There's no players, there's no uniforms.
Tt' s in dire straits." We sat in
his family room until 3:00 a.m., and
he convinced me not to tear up the
contract. Remarkably, that first year I
grabbed some kids that were going
to Aurora College that I'd recruited,
a couple of kids off the street, and we
went for the first time ever to the
National Tournament. So it was a
Cinderella season and a whirlwind
start. Ultimately it has proven to be
the right thing and ('m real happy
with it. As far as individual games,.
there's so many highlights and low
lights. Every game is a new game.
What made you want to coach?
I don't know. T ju.st kind of fell
into it. Tt wasn't by design originally.
I played the game. I was in
Secondary Education, in sociology as
a major and a coaching/training certificate
here. But I had a lot of injuries
during my college career, including a
broken leg that needed surgery and
two knee surgeries. I spent a lot of
time in the training, so I got involved
in sports medicine quite a bit. When I
graduated from Parkside, I actually
stayed on for one year as an assistant
while I was student teaching and I
ended up going to graduate school in
the sports medicine area. I got in as
an assistant coach there and it just
kind of evolved. As I got out of graduate
school, the college job at Aurora
became available and that was coaching
and teaching. Tt was like, "Hey I
need a job. Lei's do it!" And I liked it.
Did you play any other sports
besides soccer?
I played a little bit of baseball.
That was pretty much it. Football
wasn't my game, and basketball was
a little bit of size difference there.
When I was in high school there was
no high school soccer. There were the
ethnic clubs that were playing soccer.
There was a little bit of baseball, a bit
of track, but dominantly soccer was
my full time sport.
Did you spend all your time in
sport in high school and college?
My life is soccer. It's non-stop. In
addition to coaching a college team
all year round, we run camps and I
coach my sons youth team and I
have for the last eight years in winter,
spring, and summer, as well. It's
one thing on the mind and that's the
round baJI with the spots on it.
Do you feel that soccer and many
Coach Kilps ranger I sports 13
sports need more s upport from the
student body at Parkside?
Absolutely. All sports here need
more support from the student body.
What we did this year in mens soccer
is create an "Adopt a Ranger" program
for youth teams who come out
on Monday nights and work with
our kids and the college. It was fantastic
because our attendance went
up. We were averaging 250·:JOO {"'Opie
a game this year. Tammy Day
helped create some things to give
away, like throwing T-shirts and
water bottles into the crowd, free
sandwiches if they call your name,
and stuff like that. The sad part is
that more Parkside students should
attend those type of events. Not just
mens soccer but women's soccer, volleyball,
basketball, all the sports,
rather then just sitting in their rooms
playing Nintendo or watching videos.
Do you have any advice for aspiring
coaches?
You have to put in the time. It's a
school of hard knocks. You have to
learn by doing and get involved, as
soon as you can. If you really want to
coach, you have to jump in hook line
and sinker. You cant just dip the
hook in the water and think, "Well,
coaching will happen." You have to
put your whole life into it, 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. It has to be a
full commitment to it. If you work
hard, maybe your time will come.
When you were a child, did you
have any mentors or heroes?
I have to think about that one. I
think maybe in soccer there was an
individual that was in our club team.
Jt was a gentleman who was in the
U. S. National team and was a professional
player and captain of the
Olympic lean, and American games
team. He played in our city a·nd he
was like a god when it came to soccer.
Since that time, as J grew up and
went into the adult world and got
into coaching, he and I became partners
in a camp business. He coached
the World Cup team in 1990 in Italy
and the US Team. He's currently
coaching in the MLS, the Kansas City
Wizards. That person is Bob Ganzler.
Truly h e was my idol as a youth
player. Ironically we've become the
best of friends and business partners.
We've been together doing that kind
of thing over the last 20 years now.
Ultimately, he coached at the highest
level in this country, so I"ve learned a
lot from him. Not just from him
being my idol at the time when I was
a youth, but as adults and coaching
peers. I-Ie's given me a lot of confi ...
dence. It's great to be able to share
knowledge with a guy who's on as
high a level as he is.
And still get to class on time.

The spirit of Henrv David Thoreau takes on Bill
Gates and his apostles
Columnist
Vito Tribu zio
I went to Bill's Country Saloon because I wanted to drink excessively, to suck
down every drop of significant booze that was set within my reach, and to see
whether the bartender had any dirty jokes to tell me, NOT to get insulted by a
bunch of Bill Gates people.
That's just what happened, however, and once again I had to go home early
because the computer-,,,nart people who frequent Bill's Country Saloon were in
a talkative mood and I wasn't. Kelly Sanchez, a computer programmer who 1
met when my hard drive was on the verge of collapsing, kept telling me that the
newer and more advanced devices she's been using can enhance h ard-drive performance
by 69%, while Jim Bennett, the Microsoftologist who has been dating
Kelly Sanchez, kept agreeing with everything she said.
Several other computer-smart people joined us at the
bar, and soon, everyone in the joint was splashing m e
with terminology, confusing me with such difficult
wordo no "Mykcgo.hcrtz, slosh rny polka dot
shortz@zippy-dee-doo-dah com," wh.ile l just sat
silently because I couldn't th.ink of anything smart to
say except "Simplify! Simplify!"
1#1TO!
XM SEN01111G MY
ROOOT MINIONS TO
OESTROY YOO!
These people, particularly Kelly Sanchez and Jim
Bennett, think that Bill Gates is God, or some sort of golden
doughboy, and they've p laced him on a pedestal so high that his
golden aura can be seen from Heaven.
Now, I believe that th.is high-and-mighty place would suit Bill
Gates just fine were it not for the fact that the spirit of naturalist
Henry David Thoreau dwells in Heaven. Thoreau is resting in a
modest place he built with his own two hands (with scrap lumber
he found near Mahatma Gandhi's place), and he doesn't like it
one bit when he is disturbed by the glare emanating from the
golden doughboy on the high pedestal.
That's why, I think, Thoreau took a trip down to Bill's Country
Saloon last Saturday night. Thoreau was utterly angry because he
OVP.rhP;lrd whRt Jim. Bennett was saying to m.e,. so the naturali.Gt
came down to punch the Microsoftologist on the nose.
However, realizing that he was just a spirit, and that he had
Cha rlton Heston: The Second
Amendment shouldn't be used
as an excuse. After all, who really
needs assault w eapons?
Rush Limbaug h: People should
listen to both sides of an a rgument.
After all, I'm not always right.
Puff D addy: I really need to w ork 01
my songw riting.
Geraldo Rivera: But seriously folks
e nough about JonBenet Ramsey!
nothing solid with which to clobber Jim Bennett, Thoreau immediately looked
for a living body to inhabit. And, since one of rny fists was already clenched due
to the h eated argument I was having with Jim Bennett, Thoreau's spirit inhabited
my body and told me to do a very nasty thing to the Microsoftologist.
But I resisted. The urge to punch Jim Bennett in the nose was strong, but I had
nvo very good reasons for not following the flux of nature: 1,. I was w:inn.ing the
argument, anyway, and 2, Jim Bennett has a black belt in Karate.
And what do you th.ink the argument was about? No, it wasn't about Kelly
Sanchez. It was about monopoly money, but particularly about the monopoly
money Gates is supposedly do11ating to fund the education of minority students.
Like Thoreau, I can spot a d~gooder with a hidden agenda when I see one,
and I can see clearly that Bill Gates has plans. He's donating the money because
he's concerned about making more money, not because he cares about the future
of underprivileged students. I think Gates expects to earn trillions from this venture,
even though 1 don't exactly know how it will happen. All l know is that Jim
Bennett spends most his income on " n ew and improved" computer stuff, so my
guess is that Gates wants to make Jim Bennetts out of minority students.
I told Jim Bennett what I thought of him and his goofy-looking idol, and he
got offended because he looks like Bill Gates. That's why Kelly dates him. He
can have her. Who cares? I'm a Henry David Thoreau type, why waste any lime
on shallow Microsoftologists like her?
"You don't understand," said Jim Bennett, "you just don't understand. If
there were more people like Bill around when we were groWU--.g up, Ktdly cu u.J. I
would've gotten the education we always wanted. He's a great guy."
"lf Gates was as great a guy as you th.ink he is, he would
just keep enough money to support his family, say thirty
million dollars, and give the rest away to struggling Italian
writers. T guess some people are endowed with good
looks, like me, and others with enough brains to understand
that surplus money is useless, like Thoreau, and then
there's Bill Gates."
"You're just giving mea hard time because of what happened
with Kelly," Jim Bennett said, arrogantly and
doughboy-like. "Maybe with time you'll understand what
a nice guy Bill Gates is."
"Time?" I lashed out, "Time is nothing but the bar T go
drinking in: I try to drink my favorite drink there, and
while I try very hard, I can never drink enough of it
because you guys always prevent me from doing so. I
don't understand you.t· lvok:, I know not the meaning of
'you've h ad enough,' I've always been regretting that I
can 't get as drunk as the skunk I'd like to be."
Jerry Springer: Listen buddy, I don't
know what kind of show you think this
is, but I'm not going to let you make a
circus out of it!
Trent Lott: We have got to do some1ing
about campaign finance reform.
,fter all, we should listen to the public,
ot special interests.

Hl//provides chills with verv few frills
1999 is definitely the year for psychological
thrillers. Apparently, the
movie studios have finally d educed
that the movie-going pubUc is sick and
tired of teen-slasher flicks and want
films that scare with suspense rather
than gr055-out with gore.
"House on Haunted Hill," like "The
Haunting," is a remake of an older
movie set in a haunted house. But this
one has far more fright factor. And it
doesn't hurt that this has an R rating
instead of PG-13.
The story focuses on Stephen and
Evelyn Price (Geoffrey Rush, Farnke
Janssen), an unhappily married rich
couple (The star of the original flick
was Vincent Price. Naming Rush,.s
character Price is a tribute to him.). It is
Evelyn's birthday and they are going
to have a party in an old abandoned
mansion. Eventually four total
strangers are invited to the house.
Stephen is a carnival ride developer

American Hlstorv x
burns onto campus
What sort of people join hate
groups? Disillus ioned former "normal"
members of society? Weakwilled
people who just want to fit in?
Or, is it just twisted psychotics?
A perfect example of a twisted
psychotic is the character Derek
Vinyard (Edward Norton) in
American History X. He is definite ly
not a stupid person. In fact, he is
highly articulate. He refers to the Ku
Klux Klan as "low-rent rednecks"
who hide behind hoods, while he
isn't afraid to show his hate. As a
result, he ends up in jail for the murder
of two black men who were trying
to steal his truck.
His younger high-school age
brother Danny (Edward Furlong)
idolizes him. Not only does he join
O.,rek's group, but he also turns in a
paper on "Mein Kampf," claiming
that Hitler was a civil rights hero.
This does not please his principal
(Avery Brooks), who orders rum to
write a new paper. The principal
knows all about Danny's older
brother and his influence. So, in
order to save Danny before it's too
late, h e suggests that he write a
paper on his troubled brother.
Derek, now a reformed man, is
released from prison after serving
three years in prision. He knows the
experience has oosl hin1 a lot and he
wants to save Danny from the same
horrible fate. His past won't leave
him alone.
For one, his girlfriend Claudia
(Fairuza Balk) wants rum back. His
old friend Seth, an overweight grub,
has taken Danny under his wing to
help him fit in the movement. And
leader Cameron (Stacy Keach),who
plays on the fears of teenagers by filling
their ears with racist propaganda,
needs Derek to do his dirty work.
But, Derek knows· that the
strongest foe he has to face is himself.
He cannot hide from his swastib-scarred
mirrQr image.
For his portrayal of Derek
Vinyard, Edward Norton won his
second Academy Award nomination
(his first was for Primal Fear). He is
definitely a major reason to watch
this movie. Though the ending is a
little flawed, American History Xis a
great expose of the white supremacist
movement and how it succeeds
in getting people to join.
who is the best at what he does. He
will use the house as a testament to his
talent by having it rigged with surprises.
The four strangers, witnesses to his
genius, are each offered one million
dollars to spend the night at the mansion.
Collection of the prize, however,
implies survival.
The house used to be an insane asylum,
where a psychopathic doctor
used to conduct strange experiments
on his patients. In 1931, the patients
revolted and killed the doctor, his
staff, and themselves in a gruesome
manner. Because of this incident, no
one had anything to do with this
house, until now.
But it will not be an easy night, as
one should expect from a haunted
house. There is always that eerie feeling,
knowing that something bad is
going to happen to at least a few of the
guests. You should stick around for
the end of the credits for a big surprise.
This is not to say that it's a perfect
movie. But it works better than "The
Haunting." Not only did "The
Haunting" fail to frighten, but the special
effects were crappy, though colorful,
and the happy ending was simply
awful "House on Haunted Hill" uses
gloom, gore, and shock. Plus, they didn't
waste a ton of money. This film
cost a mere $15 million compared to
the $80 million spent on "The
Haunting". If "The Blair Witch
Project" taught us anything, it's that
you don't have to spend an arm and a
leg to be effective. You just need to be
able to know what scares people.
"House on Haunted Hill" is one result
of that lesson.

Students make a difference in the
Racine area
There has recently been numer-
ous tire alarms at the University of
Wisconsin-Parkside's housing facility,
Ranger Hall. All of which were pulled
by unknown persons or parties. This has
caused safety concerns in the UW-
Parks ide's Housing and Police depart-
ments.
Officer Schlect of the
University Police Department expressed
concern over the fact that with repeated
false alarms, students will become com-
placent and will not evacuate the build-
ing when the tire alarm sounds.
"It is not only disruptive, it
poses a serious risk to the students living
there," Schlect stated.
The University Police will be
meeting with Housing Director DeAnne

On Saturday, October 25, stu-
dents in Roseann Mason's Cross Cultural
Reading and Writing class attended
"Make a Difference Day" in Racine.
Twenty students accompanied by Mason
and student intern Katie Kozenski spent
the morning providing a number of ser-
vices to the community.
The students participated in
cleaning a green space on the comer of
6th and N. Memorial which will one day
become a memorial. After the job was
done, the class, along with other mem-
bers of the community, walked along the
streets of the area picking up trash and
cleaning the streets and alley ways.
Along with these services, students
painted and helped out at the Racine
Family Resource-Center.
"I'm feeling good inside," said
Dave Lutzke, "This experience is help:

"Since I'm now part of the community, I thought I could help make
it better than it already is," said Jason Correll: "By my classmates
and I doing this, it makes us stronger people."
ing me grow as a person. I enjoy giving
back to the community."
While at the center, many stu-
dents volunteered to help out with the
children of the neighborhood providing
services that they excelled in.
All of the students expressed a
great deal of accomplishment and pride
in the work that they were doing.
Charlotte "TweDee" Perry was excited
about the project. "I am very happy to
be here to help the community of
Racine," Perry said, "I only wish that 1
had started at an earlier age."
The Racine Family Resource
.Center is looking for volunteers. For

Privacy act is no longer private
Coleen Tartaglia
Editor-in-chief
We live in a world of technolo-
gy. Numbers fly across our computer
screens for strangers ot see; credit, iden-
tification, phone numbers, address;
income,expense, insurance, investment,
charge cards ect, Any computer wizard
can find your social security number and
that is what causes credit fraud. The
only way to prevent this is to know your
rights as a student and a citizen.
As reported in the Wisconsin
State Journal, September 14, 1997, an
article written by Stacey Singer from the
Sun-Sentinel, Fort Lauderdale, Floriday,
Bronti Kelly, a temprary department
store worker, in Temecula, CA, lost his
wallet and the thief who found it
runed
his personal history. "The theif who
found Kelly's missing wallet was caught
shoplifting. The thief presented Kelly's
ID
as his own. For the next four years,
Kelly could not find work at another
department store and didn't kmow why.
Finally, a prospective employer told
Kelly that a shoplifting incident
appeared on his background check."
In anthter case, "William Dwyer
lost his identity in 1994 at a Hollywood,
FL used-car dealership which he had
never set foot That year, authorites told
him, someone at the dealership probably
dialed into the Equifax credit reporting
bureau and rifled through electronic
credit reports, looking for good target.
The thief settled on Swyer, an aerospace
engineer for NASA in Houston. He
copied Dwyer's private infrornation and
sold it to a Nigerian crim ring." n the
next three years, the thieves charged
more than $35,000 to Dwyer's credit
cards which they had illegally obtained.
It
took a Secret Service tsk force investi-
gation ot uncover this fraud.
Police said, "THe crime of
stealing someone else's credit is so corn-
mon that all they can do little except
shrug ...
Unless the criminal is caught in
the act of using the fraudulent docu-
ments, the ocst adn dtfort of an investga-
tions i too much for the scale of
non-vie- .
lent crime."
Know your rights. The Privacy
Act of 1074 gives youthe legal right to
protect personal information and social
security numbers. beginning in college,
cange your social security number to an

ID
number. For more infor-
mation, contact he United Council and
