Students  travel  to  Yellowstone

By Claire Armetta Staff  Writer

The  Yellowstone  National  Park  trip  has  become  increasing-­ ly  popular  for  students  at  UW  –  Whitewater.   It  is  almost  guaran-­ teed  that  a  student  will  cross  wolf  tracks,  see  Old  Faithful  explode  and  experience  the  expansive,  snow-­capped  mountains  while  on  the  trip. “I  started  this  trip  in  1995  at  Whitewater,�  said  George  Clokey   Ph.D,  the  coordinating  faculty  member.   “It  hasn’t  been  every  year.  We  had  a  rough  start,  but  we  had  15  to  20  students  each  year  for  the  past  10  years  or  so.�

The  trip  has  progressed  and Â

is  now  running  in  the  winter  and  August.   This  year,  the  trip  will  take  place  on  July  15  to  28  for  those  who  want  to  complete  their  four  General  Lab  credits  and  Aug.  5  to  24  for  those  who  want  to  complete  a  WKUHH FUHGLW Âż HOG course. “I  hope  that  Clokey the  four  cred-­ it  general  lab  course  will  become  known,â€?  Clokey  said.  “You  knock  your  science  requirement  off  by  going  to  Yellowstone.   What  more  could  you  ask  for?â€?

Enrollment  at  UW-­�Whitewater  reaches  a  record  high UW-­Whitewater  enrollment  has  been  consistently  rising.  Chancel-­ News  Editor lor  Richard  Telfer  said  the  expo-­ UW-­Whitewater  has  hit  record  nential  growth  is  due  to  a  Univer-­ enrollment  this  school  year  with  sity  of  Wisconsin  System  initiative  12,031  students. called  the  Growth  Agenda.

Since  the  2006-­07  school  year,  “Part  of  what  the  Growth Â

By Samantha Jacquest

Agenda  suggested  was  that  the  state  of  Wisconsin  needs  to  have  more  people  who  are  prepared  with  college  degrees,�  Telfer  said.  “This  can  include  associates  and  technical  degrees,  but  our  focus  is  bachelor  degrees.�

Sydney Michuda graphic/0LFKXGD6. #XZZ HGX

One  of  the  goals  of  the  Growth  Agenda  is  to  have  over  260,000  undergraduate  degrees  by  2025.   Telfer  said  the  idea  behind  the  Growth  Agenda  and  increasing  enrollment  is  to  make  Wisconsin  more  successful.   The  agenda  has  a  plan  for  the  UW  System  until  the  2025-­26  school  year.

Because  of  the  high  enrollment  in  the  past  six  school  years,  UW-­ Whitewater  has  had  to  accommo-­ date  for  additional  students  living  in  residence  halls.  The  university  has  done  this  by  renting  two  apart-­ ment  buildings  from  D.L.K.  En-­ terprises.  There  also  are  plans  to  renovate  resi-­ dence  halls  in  or-­ der  to  allow  more  bed  space.

Telfer Senior  Stacey  Leonard  has  worked  at  D.L.K.  En-­ terprises  for  two  years  and  has  no-­ ticed  changes  in  the  student  rental  process.  “Especially  this  year,  a  lot  of  our  two-­bedrooms  have  been  go-­ ing  a  lot  faster,�  Leonard  said.  “And  because  the  university  bought  out  Cambridge  and  Fox  Meadows  [Apartments],  there  has  been  less  housing  available  for  students.�

Yellowstone “I  learned  everything,�  John-­ son  said.  “Clokey  is  really  great  and  knows  a  lot  about  Yellowston,  go  anywhere  and  ask  him  any  question,  and  he’ll  have  an  an-­ swer  for  you.�

The  trip  is  offered  to  a  variety  of  students,  and  as  of  2010,  it  is  now  a  wheel-­ chair  accessible  trip.   Megan  Lynch,  a  junior  majoring  in  bi-­ ology  pre  med,  was  one  of  the  ¿ UVW WR WDNH DG Lynch vantage  of  this  opportunity. Âł, KDG &ORNH\ IRU P\ Âż UVW %L ology  class,  and  he  talked  about  the  trip  all  the  time,â€?  Lynch  said  “and  I  asked  him  if  it  was  acces-­ sible  and  if  I  could  go.   He  said  no,  but  said  we  could  work  on  it.â€?

They  worked  on  making  the  trip  accessible  throughout  the  VFKRRO \HDU DQG Âż QDOO\ WKDW VXP mer,  Lynch  went  on  the  trip. “I  learned  legitimately  every-­ thing  that  has  to  do  with  wildlife,  and  a  lot  about  science,â€?  Lynch  said.   “I  also  learned  more  about  pushing  myself.   The  three  of  us  in  wheelchairs  pushed  ourselves  so  hard  to  do  all  of  the  same  things  that  everyone  else  was  doing.â€?   Each  student  had  a  different  personal  experience  from  the  trip.  Â

Leonard  said  D.L.K.  will  rent  out  apartments  almost  a  full  year  in  advance,  starting  in  September. “Compared  to  last  year,  we  have  less  housing  available  at  this  time,�  Leonard  said.

Telfer  said  the  university  has  needed  to  accommodate  the  rise  in  students  as  problems  were  brought  to  their  attention.  Parking  is  one  example  where  UW-­Whitewater  had  to  make  changes  to  accommo-­ date  everyone.  The  university  also  needed  to  add  sections  to  certain  courses  to  allow  room  for  additional  students.  Telfer  said  the  number  of  students  in  a  classroom  may  have  gone  up,  but  not  dramatically.

While  increasing  enrollment  is  a  priority  for  UW-­Whitewater  to  participate  in  the  Growth  Agenda,  Telfer  said  increasing  retention  rates  and  accepting  transfer  stu-­ dents  is  a  large  part  of  the  UW  System  plan. “We  try  to  have  an  inviting  and  challenging  place  for  people  to  be  and  a  place  where  they’re  encour-­ aged  to  develop  themselves,�  Telf-­ er  said.  “We  want  to  make  UW-­ Whitewater  an  attractive  place,  both  physically  and  programmati-­ cally  attractive.�

JacquestSL01@uww.edu

Continued  from  page  1 Lynch  said  her  favorite  part  was  Beartooth  Mountain  in  Montana,  and  Johnson  enjoyed  digging  up  dinosaur  fossils. “Just  seeing  mountains  were  amazing;͞  you  don’t  see  any  of  that  in  this  area,�  Lynch  said.  “As  you  go  further  west,  it  gets  pret-­ tier  and  prettier.�

Besides  the  incredible  sights  and  wildlife,  the  students  said  their  was  also  a  lot  of  substance  that  came  out  of  their  trip. “The  purpose  of  the  trip  is  to  show  students  the  geology  and  ecology  of  Yellowstone  and  to  JHW WKHP RXW WKHUH LQ WKH Âż HOG ´ Clokey  said.  “Students  take  data  and  learn  techniques  in  a  way  that  will  give  them  a  leg  up  in  the  fu-­ ture.â€?

Clokey  said  one  of  the  most  interesting  aspects  of  the  trip  is  the  learning  that  takes  place  in  a  whole  new  setting. “When  you’re  picking  up  a  rock  and  looking  at  a  fossil,  you’re  going  to  remember  that.   It’s  not  like  sitting  in  a  class-­ room,�  Clokey  said.

Photos  from  the  trip  will  be  on  display  in  Roberta’s  Art  Gallery  in  the  University  Center  with  a  re-­ ception  Wednesday  Feb.  27  from  3:30  to  5  p.m.  The  photos  will  re-­ main  on  display  until  March  13.

Proactive  approach  needed  for  accessibility Royal Purple Editorial  Staff  Opinion

UW-­Whitewater  has  long  been  known  as  one  of  the  most  accessible  campuses  in  Wis-­ consin.  It  is  known  for  taking  strides  to  accom-­ modate  all  students,  regardless  of  impairments.

While  our  university  prides  itself  on  being  particularly  accessible  to  students  with  various  impairments,  there  are  many  areas  in  which  it  could  improve.  By  being  proactive  and  addressing  pos-­ sible  problems  before  they  arise,  UW-­White-­ ZDWHU FDQ WUXO\ EHFRPH D À DJVKLS VFKRRO IRU accessibility.

With  the  help  of  junior  Rachel  Nepper,  who  is  familiar  with  accessibility  issues  from  her  own  wheelchair  use,  we  have  assembled  a  list  of  areas  of  improvement  the  university  should  consider  in  regard  to  accessibility.

Snow  removal In  the  Wisconsin  winter  season,  classes  aren’t  canceled  on  account  of  a  few  inches  of  snow.  For  students  who  use  wheelchairs  and  scooters  to  travel  across  campus,  poorly  shov-­ eled  walkways  can  be  especially  dangerous.

By  ensuring  that  the  various  paths  across  campus  are  shoveled  or  plowed  before  stu-­ dents  have  to  start  their  trek  to  class,  our  uni-­ versity  would  make  it  safer  and  easier  for  all  students  to  get  where  they  need  to  be.

Nepper  also  suggested  creating  a  program  where  volunteers  would  be  available  to  help  students  with  wheelchairs  or  scooters  shovel Â

out  their  cars  on  snowy  days  or  to  help  if  they  get  stuck  in  the  snow.

Classrooms  and  residence  halls Many  classrooms  don’t  have  wheelchair-­ friendly  desks.  Sometimes  the  arrangement  of  FODVVURRP IXUQLWXUH FDQ PDNH LW GLI¿ FXOW IRU D student  with  mobility  or  vision  impairment  to  navigate  around  the  room.

One  way  to  solve  classroom-­related  acces-­ sibility  issues  would  be  to  develop  a  checklist  of  issues  and  solutions  and  apply  it  to  every  classroom  on  campus.  In  the  residence  halls,  a  way  to  improve  ac-­ cessibility  would  be  to  install  adjustable  shelv-­ ing  so  students  can  adjust  things  to  the  height  that  works  best  for  them.  Currently,  Fischer  Hall  residents  can  re-­ quest  for  shelving  to  be  lowered.  These  types  of  options  should  be  available  and  advertised  to  students  in  all  residence  halls.

Buildings To  make  each  building  the  most  accessible  it  can  be,  each  one  should  have  more  than  one  wheelchair-­friendly  entrance.  All  bathrooms  and  doorways  should  also  be  accessible  to  those  who  use  wheelchairs.  &XUUHQWO\ WKH PDLQ À RRU RI WKH OLEUDU\ KDV no  wheelchair  accessible  bathrooms.  There  is  no  reason  why  the  bathrooms  in  one  of  the  most-­used  buildings  on  campus  shouldn’t  be  able  to  accommodate  anyone  who  might  need  to  use  them.

Finally,  ramps  or  back  up  plans  should  be  instituted  in  buildings  with  elevators  and  stu-­

dents  should  be  educated  about  what  to  do  in  HYHQW RI D ¿ UH RU RWKHU HPHUJHQF\ ZKHUH HOHYD tor  use  may  not  be  safe.

Other  areas Addressing  issues  facing  students  with  mobility  or  vision  impairments  isn’t  the  only  way  our  campus  could  improve  its  overall  ac-­ cessibility.

By  requiring  all  movies  shown  on  campus  to  be  captioned,  our  university  could  improve  accessibility  for  deaf  or  hard  of  hearing  stu-­ dents.

Additionally,  offering  sign  language  as  a  language  credit  could  help  all  students  un-­ derstand  what  it  is  like  for  those  who  are  deaf  or  hard  of  hearing  and  teach  communication  skills  that  many  companies  look  for  in  poten-­ tial  employees.

Although  there  are  areas  that  could  be  im-­ proved,  UW-­Whitewater   (especially  through  the  Center  for  Students  with  Disabilities)  does  a  good  job  of  accommodating  students  with  various  impairments.  Our  campus  offers  a  number  of  things  other  campuses  don’t,  including  disability  parking,  disability  athletics  and  classes  about  disability.

A  willingness  to  help  is  perhaps  the  most  important  thing  our  university  offers  students.  Various  departments  assist  students  with  aca-­ GHPLFV DQG KHOS WKHP Âż QG MREV DIWHU FROOHJH While  our  campus  does  well  in  many  areas  of  accessibility,  there  is  obvious  room  for  im-­ provement.  We  hope  to  see  the  same  positive  changes  that  occured  after  the  publication  of Â

The  nine-­game  winning  streak  held  by  the  UW-­Whitewater  wom-­ enâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  basketball  team  was  snapped  Sunday  in  the  WIAC  tournament  championship  game  against  UW-­ Stevens  Point,  76-­71.

After  defeating  UW-­Superior  RQ )ULGD\ LQ WKH :,$& VHPLÂż QDO game,  the  Warhawks,  ranked  No.  22  in  the  latest  D3hoops.com  top-­ 25  poll,  used  their  momentum  to  propel  them  into  Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  champi-­ onship  game,  where  they  took  an  early  10-­0  lead  against  UW-­Ste-­ vens  Point,  ranked  No.  18  in  the  latest  D3hoops.com  top-­25  poll.  The  Pointers  were  not  willing  WR JR GRZQ ZLWKRXW D Âż JKW KRZ ever,  and  captured  the  lead  by  half-­ time.  7KH Âś+DZNV FRQWLQXHG WR Âż JKW back,  and  a  3-­pointer  by  Mary  0HUJ ZLWK Âż YH VHFRQGV UHPDLQLQJ sent  the  game  into  overtime.  Despite  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  effort,  they  were  never  able  to  take  the  lead  in  overtime.  The  Pointers  were  victo-­ rious  and  the  win  guaranteed  a  bid  in  the  upcoming  NCAA  tourna-­ ment  for  the  seventh  straight  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  felt  like  we  really  com-­ peted  and  gave  it  our  best  effort,â&#x20AC;?  head  coach  Keri  Carollo  said  of  Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  game.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  have  no  ques-­ tion  that  we  gave  it  everything  we  could,  and  we  did  the  best  we Â

could  under  the  circumstances.â&#x20AC;?

Carollo,  in  her  11th  season  with  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks,  became  the  eighth  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  basketball  coach  in  WIAC  history  to  win  200  games.  She  has  led  the  team  to  three  titles  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  in  2008,  2010  and  2013.  The  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks  are  coming  off  of  an  exceptional  season,  winning  their  conference  with  a  record  of  21-­6  overall.  They  will  try  to  con-­ tinue  as  far  as  possible  into  the  NCAA  tournament,  using  their  most  recent  loss  as  fuel  to  over-­ come  their  next  opponent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  just  going  to  work  harder  at  everything  that  needs  to  be  improved,â&#x20AC;?  junior  guard  Kait-­ lyn  Thill  said.

Thill  ranks  third  in  school  his-­ tory  for  most  steals  with  197  and  has  been  an  essential  component  to  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  success  thus  far.  Meanwhile,  senior  center  Cortney  Kumerow  was  named  Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Basketball  Athlete  of  the  Week  Feb.  11.  Kumerowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  19-­19  free  throw  shooting  is  ranked  No.  2  in  WIAC  KLVWRU\ DQG VKH Âż QLVKHG WKH VHDVRQ as  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  leading  scorer  and  rebounder.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cortneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  always  a  force  through  the  paint,  even  if  she  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  scoring  a  lot,â&#x20AC;?  Carollo  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  both  [Kumerow  and  Thill]  done  an  outstanding  job  really  carrying  the  team  all  year  long.â&#x20AC;?  SidlauskAM06@uww.edu
