by Martha Boehm

"UW-Milwaukee may not be able to extend its lease of the Veterans/McKinley U-Park lot after May 2006, leading the campus and government officials to question what alternative solutions can be made to an already strained campus parking problem..."

Finally, a few more photos from the shoot. These pictures did not make the cut by the editor to be used in the paper, but I still like them.

MULTICULTURAL STUDENT CENTER

The following photos were published in The Leader along side the article: Multicultural centers prep for move to Bolton Hall, by Martha Boehm.

The Multicultural Student Center (MSC) offices, along with other University Wisconsin-Milwaukee multicultural centers, will be moving to a new, more open location in Bolton Hall.

These photos are of the Multicultural Student Lounge, which is run by the MSC.

The Multicultural Student Lounge is located in the Union room W198. Leader photo: Paul Lewis.

The lounge is a place for students can study, relax, hangout or hold meetings and activities, said Linda Huang, MSC acting director. Leader photo: Paul Lewis

MINORITY STUDENTS ON CAMPUS

One of my photos which I took as part of the Pavilion photo series, actually got used in the next edition. The Leader was looking for pictures of minority students to go with an article titled: Access to Success changing minority representation on campus, by Ryan Ogren. So, they used this one, which was not published in the previous edition.

THE PAVILION ADDITION

My second photo project for the Jan 25 edition of The Leader was a photo essay on the new addition to the Klotsche center, called the Pavilion.

The Klotsche Center is UWM's athletic facility and is free for students to use. The new addition has a brand new gym, weight rooms, cardo rooms, and many facilities for UMW's sports teams. The facility also includes 618 new parking spaces, which helps alleviate part of the parking problem on campus.

This photo essay was my first of the year. When I was assigned the project, I was told to photograph people using the center. After turning in my original photos, I was then told I needed to get more general shots of the rooms and equipment. So I did that. This first group of pictures was printed. Further down are more pictures that I took the first time around, but were not used as part of the photo essay.

Along with my picture was the article, Klotsche Center Pavilion opens its doors, by Kyle Sorvick.

Also here is a link to the Klotsche Center website.

The following photos were three more I wanted to include but could not because the editor chose not to use them.

KENILWORTH SQUARE

The first edition of The Leader for the new semester I had two photo assignments. One was of the new, under-construction Kenilworth Square apartmants. I was assigned to photograph the exterior of the building to accompany some interior shots already taken by someone else.

The second photo, below, was on the front cover of the Jan. 25, 2006 issue. The first picture, below, was part of a photo essay on page 8.

Here is a link to the news article the pictures went with: Kenilworth on track for fall 2006 opening, by Joe Ahlers.

Also, here is a link to the official Kenilworth Square website, which - as of this posting - is accepting applications for the fall 2006 semester.

The new Kenilworth Square dorms, located on Kenilworth and Farwell, are being built for the use by graduate students, and undergraduates with junior/senior status, and any undergraduates over the age of 22. Leader photo: Paul Lewis

The original Kenilworth building was built in the early 20th century. During the renovation process the original structure of the building is being preserved. Leader photo: Paul Lewis
