(PS G A ) c o n st i t u t i o n al referendum is being held, September 24 and 25, a new political organization has formed on campus, called Students for Better Government (SBG). The purpose of this organization is to "initiate an alternative student government constitution." To do this, SBG is circulating a petition that calls for 10 percent of the student body to initiate a referendum on "the proposed PSGA constitutional amendments submitted by the Students for Better Government." These "said amendments" though, are titled "Parkside Student Association Amendments." Yet, the PSA constitution does not propose to replace or compete with PSGA and its constitution, nor does it even mention SBG. Instead, this constitution states, "the purpose of the Parkside Student Association is to represent the interests of the students." "It would institute a school affiliated constitution," said Philip Livingston, an "editor" of the PSA constitution and SBG. "We are proposing a revolution to the present form of student government that would dispose of PSGA Inc." Livingston went on to say why he has given up on PSGA. "I don't feel that they represent me as an individual...although I did vote for them. "The fact that they incorporated without student consent, is one reason. "But my biggest objection is the time element on their constitutional referendum. "Very few elected people worked on that constitution," Livingston said. "In my opinion, PSGA is operating with less than a quorum." Under the PSA constitution, quorum is defined simply as The ParksideRANGER Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1974 Vol. Ill No.8 Wyllie rates Antioch A 13-person advisory council representing the North Central Accreditation Association met in Yellow Spring, Ohio last Sunday, Sept. 22 Headed by UW-P Chancellor Irvin G. Wyllie, the team spent three days preparing for a complete review of Antioch College and its national educational network. Sunday evening was, according to a letter from Wyllie to the team members, a "huddle" session, the purpose of wh ich was to "get acquainted and get oriented, work out a division of labor, and establish a schedule of appointments." The team met with Antioch President James Dixon, Jr., and members of his staff on Monday, Sept. 23. A "weighty mass of supplementary institutional data," compiled by Antioch staff, was delivered to the North Central advisory council. A collective meeting with Antioch's educational network; Directors of Centers and the North Central team took place on Tuesday to allow the team members to "begin to get a feel for the network as a collective entity, rather than as a series of separate special-purpose operations." This three-day visit was only the preliminary contact that the North Central Accreditation council will have with Antioch College. Numerous subsequent visits will give the team a chance to fully review all aspects of institutional life at Antioch, including administration, faculty, student life, academic policies, budget administration, graduate and undergraduate curricula, and mission statement. Students and tenure by Jeannine Sipsma of RANGER staff "The board and its several faculties after consultation with appropriate students shall adopt rules for tenure and probationary appointments, for the review of faculty performance and for the nonretention and dismissal of faculty members." -Merger Statute -Sec. 36.13 Faculty Tenure And Probationary Appointments RANGER asked recently who these appropriate students should be and what action is currently being taken to implement this section of the statute. One of the people interviewed on the subject was Alan Shucard, associate professor of English. Shucard said that Donald K. Smith, Sr. Vice Pres. of UW Central Administration, sent a letter dated Aug. 7,1974 to all chancellors of the UW system and various committees proposing a new set of guidelines or rules governing tenure on all UW campuses. Shucard remarked that the guidelines were fairly complete but were still open for amendments before being presented to the Board of Regents. He expected that the proposal would go to the Regents in October and be acted upon in November. Robert Canary, associate professor of English, stated that the proposal sent out by Smith had input from faculty committees, the IFCC, the Council of Chancellors, and Central Administration. Canary believed that the logical group to be contacted for student representation would be the United Council of Student Governments for systemwide tenure rules, and local Student governments for local rules. When asked if United Council had taken any action concerning the proposition of th e guidelines, Jenkins replied, "No, we're still debating on who the students should be." According to Alan Shucard, the specific rules on tenure and promotion decision-making for Parkside are in the process of being changed. He said it is doubtful that these specific rules for Parkside will be changed by the acceptance of the new systemwide rules since the committee working on this is aware of the progress being made on a system-wide basis. Shucard remarked that when these specific rules are written up by The Special Committee on Tenure and Promotion Policies they will be sent to the Faculty Senate, where the final decision will be made in consultation with Chancellor Wyllie. There will be a great many faculty coming up for their final evaluation this year, said Shucard, so the process will have to start early, and since the new guidelines are not ready as yet, the old rules will probably still be applied. The question of who the "appropriate students" should be with regard to the action being taken on Parkside's tenure rules was put to other campus leaders. PSGA Inc. President Dennis Milutinovich, answered under the assumption that the new constitution will be ratified, saying that there should be a committee set up by the PSGA Inc. consisting of all divisional student representatives and two students from the Academic Policies Committee and-or students at large who have shown interest. This committee would submit a report to the PSGA Inc., Milutinovich continued, which would then be sent to the proper authorities involved. To the same question, John Campbell, assistant professor of geography, replied, "Isn't there some kind of committee to decide that sort of thing? We're waiting for input from up the line." Eugene Norwood, dean of the College of Science and Society, remarked, "I don't interpret state statutes. I'm not a lawyer." Canary remarked that there were open meetings held for students last fall concerning Parkside's new tenure rules; Egerton confirmed this, saying that there had been two public meetings and a survey printed in RANGER asking for student opinion. "Two thirds of the entire senate." Like the PSGA constitution, this constitution allows for divisional representation in the senate as well as for representation of those students who have not declared an academic major. Unlike the PSGA constitution, the PSA constitution provides one senator for every 350 students. The PSGA constitution provides a senator for every 700 students. Also, the PSA senate would operate under parliamentary procedure, whereas under the PSGA constitution, checks and balances are maintained by a separate executive and judicial branch. Other key amendments provide that: -No sooner than three weeks after the beginning of each academic year and as soon as possible thereafter, the senate shall be elected for a term of on e year. -Special elections shall be held no sooner than four weeks and no later than six weeks after public notification of any vacancy that may occur in senate membership. -An elections committee shall be responsible for the conduct of expeditious and fair elections and referendums to the senate, including the giving of public notification of vacancies that S o c i a l s c i e n c e may occur in senate membership. -Parkside Student Assoication shall be responsible for nominating students, for approval as appropriate by the •chancellor or other authority, to» all university codified committees on which students are seated. -Parkside Student Association shall be responsible for appointing student members so as to comprise at least a majority on all committees concerned with segregated fee monies; and the allocation of such monies in accordance with regulations governing such allocations. -The judiciary branch of the Parkside Student Association shall be instituted by process of, ammending this constitution by the senate or students. The judiciary branch of the Parkside Student Atudent Association shall be instituted by process of ammending this constitution by the senate or students. The judiciary branch shall comply with Board of Regents Rules and Regulations and Board of Regents Disciplinary Guidelines. -The rights of students of UWP shall be in accordance with ithe constitution of the United 1 States of America, the Constitution of the State of continued page 3 Files tightened by Betsy Neu The Social Science Executive Committee met Wednesday, September 18, and acted to tighten security of divisional personnel files. Though the committee was careful not to mention any names, much of the discussion centered around the case of assistant professor of a nthroogy, William Folan. Folan, now on a one year leave of absence in Yucatan Mexico, was recently reinstated to the faculty by the executive committee. He had been denied acces to two letters which were ectracted from his personnel file. Concern over the fact that one of these letters had been obtained by "student radicals" (as Thomas Reeves, professor of History said) and later appeared at a rally supporting Folan, led the committee to seek tighter security in similar matter. Prior to Wednesday's meeting, Chairperson John Campbell held one key to the division's personnel files, while Hari Barker, Secretary of the Division of Social Science held the other. A vote was taken to leave the keys entirely in the hands of the chairperson, and was passed, with Richard Keehn, associate professor of economics casting the only negative ballot. continued page 3 L i b r a r y Budget cuts byJohn Gesquiere Some changes will be going into effect in the near future at the library and Learning Center. At a recent meeting of the LLC committee, library director Joseph Boisse remarked "we have reached the point where, if they cut our budget again, we're in big trouble." In an attempt to ease the situation, a program to achieve greater efficiency will be started. Beginning October 1, Parkside ID's will be required in order to check out materials from both the Learning Center and the main Library. Book renewals will no longer be accepted by telephone. Also included in the program is the elimination of the browsing collection and the lowering in the priority of the special collections. There will be fewer displays during the year in that section. An effort will be made to improve the microfilm reading area, which is presently receiving extensive use. The library now has more than half a million items on microfilm. In reference to these, Boisse remarked, "I'm not convinced that we have it laid out in the best fashion possible." Because of increased demand for cassette recorders (mainly by language students), faculty members will no longer be able to check out recorders for an entire semester. The Learning Center will also begin a policy of withholding media check-out privileges from those faculty members who have materials outstanding at the end of a semester. Because of a $71,000 cut in the library staff budget, four positions had to be eliminated. Students are therefore urged to study the new library hand-book now being devised so that they will be able to locate materials with less assistance. Boisse pointed out that "we are, without a doubt, the most active library in the state when it comes to library instruction. What we are trying to do is create a little self-sufficiency among students." Also discussed at the LLC committee meeting were the periodical subscriptions. The library was given a lower budget in this area also. With $80,000 to continued page 3 2 THE PARKSIDE RANGER Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1974 RANGER • —Editorial/Opinion— Vote Yes Yesterday and today Parkside students have been given the opportunity to express their will. A vote today will go a long way towards setting Parkside on the track of student involvement. The controversy that has raged over PSGA's proposed constitution will begin to be settled, and we can start working toward full implementation of merger. Of necessity, the student rights (granted by Merger Bill) demand student action. A vote Yes today will place Parkside in the forefront of those that see students as active, conscientious members of their community. The PSGA constitution presents students with rights and obligations that some fear students cannot fulfill. RANGER expresses the belief that "student" is not synonymous with "subordinate." The student body contains.a reservoir of talent and experience. We cannot subordinate those abilities to the reactionary attitude of a few administrators. A vote Yes on the constitution is a statement of self awareness-awareness that students can and should control their own lives. For your pleasure With this issue of RANGER begins a regular monthly feature-ICON, amy cundari-humanities editor-has sought contributions to ICON from many sources. Our readers will find expressions in poetry, visual arts, satire, literature, criticism. ICON welcomes student works in any area of the humanistic studies. Be it photos, limericks, philosophy or what have you-1 CON wants it. With ICON, students interested in self expression have a place to present their works to public scrutiny. RANGER feels that the addition of a humanities section is one step in the continuing expansion of RANGER'S service to Parkside. With student effort ICON can be an entertaining and stimulating forum. Enjoy. Letters to the editor CCC position clarified To the Editor: The recent Campus Concerns Committee (CCC) decision to delay the student referendum for six days may need clarification. PSGA representatives to the CCC meeting indicated that all those students interested were already well informed concerning the proposed constitution. CCC hopes that for once this campus can see representative action by students through this referendum instead of the usual apathetic response to campus politics, because the proposed constitution could affect all students more than ever before. Perhaps those students who have said 'who cares!' in regard to the proposed constitution should be asking themselves the following questions: a) do I understand all the items of the constitution? If not, how can I become better informed? b) do I want to see this constitution, as it stands, implemented? c) do I feel this constitution correctly represents the needs and wants of Parkside students? d) can Parkside students have an individual effect on this constitution? e) do I care how or by whom student organizations are funded? f) if I don't vote am I prepared to accept whatever result the referendum produces without complaint? Answers to any or all of these questions indicate an opinion that should be heard. Morever, the whole issue of the incorporation of PSGA is one that has not been fully explained. How many of us (faculty included!) really understand the ramifications of the move to incorporate? PSGA president Milutinovitch stated that one reason for incorporation was the protection of individual PSGA members in the event of any legal action against PSGA acts or policies. Students may perhaps want to demand more information from PSGA before pledging support or opposition to a contract that reifies in. corporation. As far as I know, never before has a proposed constitution created such a furor at Parkside probably because never before has a constitution promised such sweeping changes in the governance of Parkside student affairs. Apparently questions concerning the legality of this constitution are under consideration. CCC avoided any decision in this area because we - are not lawyers. However I, and I believe most other members of the committee, are ver concerned that if the proposed referendum takes place, as many students as possible should be aware of the implications of this constitution so as to make an informed decision. Hence, the CCC moved to delay the proposed referendum: Teresa Peck Assistant Professor, Member CCC Student complaint on parking To the Editor: Here lies a small case concerning Parkside's safety and Security Forces and how they deal with students. It all started last June 28. At that time I was not enrolled in summer school and had obtained a car.since the time parking stickers were last in effect from the previous semester. I did not have any parking sticker on my car but did have the words "Impeach Nixon" in 4 inch letters on each door and the trunk. I had been stopped by the state, county, and municipal police forces before, never recieved a ticket, but had been subjected to drug searches, weapon searches, registration checks, safety checks, and other harrassment. I had always been legal. You have to be f i you carry a political slogan on your car. On June 28, I drove into the faculty -staff parking lot and I was followed in by Parkside's police. Before I could leave my car, the officer informed me that I had to be a faculty-staff person to park there and to move down to the Tajlent Hall parking lot. I then made the fatal mistake of replying "ok pig, I'll move". He replied "scum" and got back into his patrol car. I moved to the Tallent Hall lot as instructed. I went into Tallent Hall for about 20 min. When I returned to the car, it had been ticketed while the other remaining 20 or 30 cars without permits had recieved warning cards. Mine was the only one ticketed. I had done exactly as the officer had instructed and although we had exchanged insults, mine had cost me a ticket and his had cost him nothing. I appealed the ticket. I had heard nothing for the remainder of the summer and asked a member of the appeals committee to let me know when it was to be decided. He (a student member) said that the committee would meet soon after the semester would start in the fall and decide all the summer appeals. Last Friday, Sept. 20, I recieved an unsigned letter dated Sept. 17 in forming me that my appeal had been denied. I had asked the student member of the appeals committee if this was true and he informed that he was not sure of the decision nor of any supposed meeting on Sept, 12 as stated in the letter. I refuse to pay the fine until I recieved a signed letter stating the reason for denial and when I am sure that the committee had informed all of its members of its meetings. I will pay any fine that is justly levied against me but cannot accept treatment of this kind. Hopefully the new faces in Safety and Security can move the force towards fairness. One lesson well learned was, I shall not degrade the fine farm animals by using their name to label the officer I had encountered. Keith C. Chambers Kenosha Senior P.S. I hope this event does not deter anyone from saying what they believe and also hope the student body will say what they believe on the student constitution today. Do we need starving artists? The art department is incomplete. Incomplete in the course offerings, staff instruction and type of instruction. Parkside offers a fundamental education in the studio arts, but what is the result. Parkside now condemns the studio artist to a narrow corridor of career development. The student has two optionsteaching-grade school. Many students seek a degree that translates into opportunity in the job market. Cultural development is fine but there comes a time when reality is forced upon us and we must consider a concrete and desired career in the outside world. Art students need an art department that involves the graphic as well as the fine arts. Wanted-a four year degree that is worth presenting to a prospective employer. i The ParksideThe PARKSIDE RANGER is a wholly independen publication of the students of the U.W.

Glory be to grumbling. Blessed be the bitch! If there's one thing I've learned in my few short years, it is the cathartic value of cursing the darkness. On the one hand it is a source of creative expression, on the other it serves as a salve for the psyche. But you know, you can't slander PSGA for secrecy. All meetings are open to the public; they're conducted with a level of language and logic anyone can understand; and they're often scheduled at a time all can attend-like Sunday morning before last at 10:00 a.m. IN AN EFFORT TO BROADEN THE BASE OF SUPPORT and widen the field of appeal for Parkside, the Physical Plant has taken' the initiative in squaring up the edges of the round hole University we square peg vets are trying to fit into. Such anyway, is the rumour. It is to the effect that a machine which could have been bought for about $130, was rented instead for over $500. Now I have done and continue to do and say many things a good deal less than brilliant, which makes me more forgiving with every passing day. But for anyone with a cynical eye and wry sense of humour, this kind of thing is just too precious to pass up. Whatever reasons may have honestly and innocently beeh responsible for this beautiful SNAFU, certainly on the face of it, we could very well expect even active duty lifers ("career soldiers") from all over to come flocking to night classes at a school where they're sure to feel at home. ISN'T IT JUST TERRIBLE THE WAY JUST ANYBODY CAN COME IN and use our facilities? Doesn't it make you mad that anyone with a Wis. Driver's license can come in and check out OUR library books? Doesn't it get under your skin when you imagine the ordinary common masses coming through our towers of ivory as if their exorbitant state income taxes gave them the right to use what they paid for? Well, don't you worry about it folks, our administration is taking care of that!! Of course, they can't out-right ban the promiscuous proletariate, but they can and do make them either buy a $50 parking permit or go through the hassle of parking, going to the security office, filling out the forms, returning to their car to put on their one-day permit (doubtless good only for the lower lot-correct me if I'm wrong), finding a ticket on their car that was put there while they were getting the permit, returning to security to fill out forms to get the ticket voided...ad absurdum. Yes, don't worry too much about being overrun, fellow book-lovers. Somebody up there loves us. THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T RECOGNIZE ME ON S IGHT WILL shortly (assuming you want to) be able to. I'll be the one carrying a thermos bottle filled with milk that I bought at a reasonable price at some other place, other than that which is from the milk machine down under.

God knows we have more flies here than we can possibly support without big money assistance. letters— — Schliesman After reading the letter by Jane Schliesman in the RANGER September 11, 1974,1 feel a reply is in order to set the record straight. Jane, your letter was, for the most part, factually incorrect. I Was . at the Sunday PSGA meeting, not as a senator but as an interested student. I was taking notes on the proceedings as well. The PAB Executive council sent a letter to PSGA to be read along with the proposed ammendments. This letter stated mat ' a skeleton crew student government of six participants nave managed, in the first hectic week of classes, to railroad a constitution cloaked in revolution and pseudo-student rights past a student body too busy to listen, organize, or act." This is untrue, as there were at least 12 people who made major contributions to the writing. Consider that 39 people drew up the U.S. Constitution when the U.S. had a population of 3,500,000. That's one representative for every 95,000 people. Add this to the fact that To the Editor: On the issue of whether student government or the incorporated group of students who call themselves PSGA deserve the power to govern our segregated fees, I must object to the handling of this controversy by all parties involved. PAB, PSGA, Assistant Chancellor Dearborn and other interested parties have made a fool of themselves by 1) trying to undermine each other; 2) bringing up points which really don't mean a thing when it comes ito looking at the reasons why a new constitution was written and the language involved. constitution continued from page 1 Wisconsin, and the regulations of the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin system. -The students and mass media shall be encouraged and guaranteed complete access to the review of every activity and function of the Parkside Student Association. According to Livingston, imput into these amendments came primarily from Philip Burnett, professor of Social Science, and Joe Anderson, chairperson of Social Studies, at Tremper high school in Kenosha. Greg Hawkins, a former PSGA senator said, "my personal opinion is that there was no mass tudent imput in this constitution nor was there any hearing open to the public. Student input was disregarded entirely. files continued from page l Discussion also involed the question of a faculty member's access to his own file. Referring to Folan's failure to receive permission to view his entire file, Reeves said, "it was an extremely unusual matter... the only one on record." "I think it was one too many", replied William Murin, associate professor of Political Science. Campbell then said, "Anyone who wishes to review their files may certainly do so...in my ofrepudiated the average citizen had no way to submit amendments or changes, and I'm sure that the reader will agree that this new PSGA constitution is more flexible, egalitarian, and amendable (before and after ratification) than even the U.S. constitution is. The PSGA constitution had as its god-father the U.S. constitution. I didn't think that the ideas of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Morris, Jay, Hamilton, and Franklin were considered revolutionary rhetoric. These and other reasons were stated by the senators at the meeting to show that the PAB was incorrect. No one said anything that could in any way be construed as insulting. There was no spite or revenge motive involved in the turning down of 16 of the 17 PAB motions. In fact, one could say that in reality about 10 of 17 ame ndments were adopted. This is because there were about nine other amendments offered by different students that were the same as nine PAB amendments in meaning, content, and Get it together, gang. I suggest everyone get down to some serious discussion about the implications of the Merger Implementation Bill and the new PSGA Inc., constitution, as well as seriously consider all of the amendments, no matter how they are presented. If y ou don't like this idea, why not get together 600 signatures for your amendments? It's that simple. Hopefully, all parties will compromise so that every Parkside student will get an even shake in this deal. Bruce Wagner Kenosha senior "To assume that an organization could be established as a representative student group without initial student imput, is fallacious." Dennis Milutinovich, president of PSGA, called the PSA constitution "cute." "If students don't want strong student government then they can vote for this, a constitution that the administration, faculty and Regents can live with." Milutinovich went as far as to say that the PSA constitution was illegal, although he didn't elaborate. Membership in SBG currently includes Livingston; Rudy Lienau, "co-editor"; Gary Petersen, schedule coordinator, and members Chet Anderson, Phyllis Lidburg, Bill Sobanski, Maria Breach and Ken Martin. Its adviser is Loran Hein, an fice." Further dicussion of official policy on this matter was delayed until the next meeting scheduled for October 2 in CL 367A a t 3:30 p.m. Further discussion concerned a division-wide meeting proposal, the purpose of which would be to gain ideas and suggestions for clarifying renewal and nonrenewal criterion and to discuss salary. Frank EgertOn, associate professor of history, informed his implication, if not in exact wording. I would like to commend the entire Parkside Student Government for their friendly, unbiased, and business-like manner in which they conducted themselves, despite the inflammatory nature of the PAB letter. Where and why is all this talk of insults, arrogance, and petty selfinterest coming from? Certainly not from the facts of the matter. As Dr. Josef Goebbels, Hitler's Propaganda Minister from 1933 to 1945 stated, "lie big enough and the people will swallow it without reservation." I hope for the sake of th e student body that they are not taken in by all the incorrrect statements of Ms. Schliesman. Eric C. Bingen Junior Remember Arthur To the Editor: I write to deny a certain rumor which, I have been told, is being whispered among the fallen leaves on our beautiful campus. It has to (to with my graduating at the late age of 72. It may be true that I was in school so long because maybe I was a slow learner. However, I must point out that the tutoring program didn't get underway until my last semester. And now that I've finally graduated I wish I was as smart as I thought I was when I was twenty. But it is definitely NOT true that I stayed in school so long because I wanted to keep out of the draft. Peace! Arthur Gruhl Racine, Class of '74 athletics specialist. Lidburg said that once SBG had obtained 600 signatures through petitions, it would ask the Campus Concerns Committee to set a date for another constitutional referendum. Constitutional forums would be held prior to the referendum to allow for further drafting of the constitution Lidberg said further that she could see a coevixtence between PSA and PSGA. "I don't see whats wrong with several organizations reaching our for more reprensentation of the student body." The cover letter on the SBG petition states, "we must begin to deal from the position of respect and trust, realizing our broad based responsibilities but using them to better not only ourselves but the campus as well." colleagues that he is presently serving on a committee which is investigating renewal standards and would inform the executive committee of their findings when completed. "Are you going to lower standards again?" Reeves asked. Murin replied, "You've got to find them to lower them." The deadline for the committee's recommendations on renewal and termination standards is February 13, 1975. Librarycontinued from page l work with, some subscriptions will have to be eliminated. A survey will be conducted among the faculty members to determine which periodicals are really necessary, since most are subscribed to because of faculty requests. As Kenneth Herrick, head of acquisitions, pointed out, "requesting is a very important part of building up a good library as a whole." Establishing a quota system for periodicals between various disciplines is difficult, according to Boisse. One factor in making the decision will be the library surveys filled out at registration by students. "We will know who is using the library, which will have an effect on requests," said Boisse.

"It's a necessary thing in this town (Kenosha) because there are large gaps in the community where people in trouble can go. They called us when they first started (in March 1971) to ask if they could use our name for referrals." Patty is the program director of Planned Parenthood at the Kenosha Memorial Hospital. Like Planned Parenthood, Switchboard operates on first-name basis only. It is one of the many organizations to which Switchobard refers its callers for help with specific problems. Switchboard Handles Various Problems Probably the impression of a service like Switchboard is that only freaked-out kids who've taken too many drugs call to get help, but only 14 percent of the eight to nine hundred monthly calls are actually drug-related. Switchboard has a Physician's Desk Reference book and other practical information to refer to for any problems that come over the lines. Rape, suicide, family, marital, or boy-girl problems, peer problems, loneliness, and sexuality are some of the other areas Switchboard deals with. A volunteer answering one of t he five phones has access to a card file with over 40 topics commonly asked about. The topics are often cross-listed so a volunteer can find help faster. For example, "attorneys" and "legal aid," are separate listings. Subjects listed range from adoption to abortion, financial assistance to gay liberation. Many professionals or professional organizations are often listed under each heading. Much of the help is either free, low-priced, or based on ability to Pay. Semi-Professional Counseling Available Youth and Family Psychological $nd Educational services provide specialists and para-professionals by appointment, and has a sliding fee schedule based on income and number of dependents. When immediate counseling is needed, Switchboard's same-night counseling service has 10 people in specialized areas. Volunteers at Switchboard are trained in six sessions which can be completed in as short a time as two weeks. Groups of five or six people can have training times arranged for them to fit their schedules. Volunteers usually work one three-hour shift a week. Larry Beeck, director of Switchboard, hopes to increase the number of volunteers to 100 in the future. Students of both Carthage and Parkside are sometimes included in the 800 monthly callers and often become volunteers, as some are experienced in the fields of counseling psychology or sociology. Switchboard has also been used by students in community reaction studies and as field work experience. In early October Switchboard plans on having information on its services and times for training sessions available at the Information kiosk in Main Place. Fund-Raisin g Hike Slated Last October, a 30-mile walk raised over $2,ooo for Switchboard. This year's hike is Switchboard's third annual. The walk begins at the Southport Beach House and goes to Petrifying Springs and back. Supervisors and walkers are needed. Besides being supported by fund-raising activities such as the tentatively-planned October hike, Switchboard is funded by the Kenosha County Mental Health Board. Use of Switchboard Increasing Calls have been increasing since Switchboard first began. Calls for March '72-March '73 were over 5,000, w hile calls from March '73-March '74 were over 6,000. In the first six months of this year, 4.000 calls have already been received. Numbers are expected to increase, as Switchboard has had volunteers on the lines 24 h ours a day since June 1. A walk-in center at the Switchboard's present location,' 1712 - 57th St., Kenosha, is being planned. It will be open during the crisis hours of 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and will be staffed by both professionals and volunteers. Peter, son of Carl and Sandy Lindner, sits in quiet contemplation Jeannine Sipsnia of RANGER staff Parkside's Child Care Center is just a babysitting service, right? Wrong. The Center offers many learning experiences for the children who attend it. Currently, the Child Care Center is located on the Kenosha campus. It occupies four rooms and has a play area outside. "The children are grouped according to age and their stage of readiness," said Sherry Svatek, director of the Center. "They are cared for by certified teachers, aides and some workstudy students." A room next to the cafeteria is for children from 2 to 6 years old. This room is divided into four sections. "The free play area is where the children can play with any of the toys available in any way they wish," Svatek said. "The library area is where quiet activities take place, such as show and tell and story readings. Also, cubicles will be built in this area so children can play by themselves if they wish." An interesting toy in this area is a sort of indoor sandbox which contains a mixture of bird seed and corn instead of sand. "The social interaction area is where the children can dress up and play different roles," Svatek continued. "Also, located in this area is water play, where the children use different sized containers and various other objects to play with in small tubs of water." "The fourth room is the art and lunch area where there is an art teacher present to lead in various activities." Upstairs, there is another room for the 2 to 6-year-old age group where they nap and use gym equipment. Among the gym equipment is a climbing device which can be converted into such things as a slide, a see-saw or a Scott, son of Dennis and Barbara Herlihey, plays in the "social in teraction area". balance beam. For children 2 years old and under, there is a nursery that occupies two rooms on the first floor. "All the toys in the nursery are sanitized and the babies are well taken care of since the nursery only allows eight at a time," Svatek said. The Child Care Center will be relocated in the old Student Activities Building once the new Student Union is built. Svatek mentioned that there is little funding of the Center by the University, except for the rooms which are donated. The Center operates on money received from parents and a grant from the Campus Concerns Committee. Parents are charged $2.50 for a four-hour block of time and 50 cents for each extra hour.

Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1974 THE PARKSIDE RANGER 5 6 THE PARKSIDE RANGER Wednesday/ Sept. 25/ 1974 English comp. Scrutinized Brief News by Carole Wilson The English Faculty called a meeting September 16 to discuss faculty senate policy on English composition requirements. A motion was passed in favor of credit-no credit courses where the material involved is self-pacing such as in English 100 and 101. There was some question about moving a student directly from English 100 in to 102 un der this option. It was agreed that the Committee on the New Composition Sequence be responsible for these decisions. Elected to this new committee are Robert Canary, associate professor, Emmett Bedford, Walter Graffin, Peter Hoff, and Peter Martin, assistant professors. It was also agreed upon that students must satisfy the composition requirements within their first 30 credits at Parkside. There followed a short discussion on the proposed changes in teacher certification for secondary English. A committee member commented that it is their objective to introduce literary criticism which student teachers seem to be lacking. A motion was passed to refer this proposal to the Education Faculty for their views. A presentation was made by Carla Stoffle of the library staff concerning the self-pacing "Workbook in Library Skills". Hiis is a newly developed book to aid students in finding and using library materials and facilities. It was moved that the book be sent to all American Language instructors with the recommendation that they incorporate it into the course material. Wisconsin's newly created Ice Age National Scientific Reserve in the national park system will be studied in a University of WisconsinExtension class on the glacial geology of eastern Wisconsin. Special attention will be given to the Kettle Moraine area and other sites, such as the Two Creeks buried forest. Glacial processes, deposits, and landforms relative to the formation of the classical glacial landscapes of eastern Wisconsin will be considered. Allan Schneider, associate professor of Earth Science at Parkside will instruct the course, to begin September 25, an d meet for five, Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. An optional all-day Saturday field trip is also planned. Registrations are being taken at the University Extension Office at Parkside, 553-2312. Action Within Our Lifetime (AWOL) is a new political organization forming on campus. According to its president, Michael Hahner, "AWOL will seek to organize students in a political manner." "The organization will lobby for student issues and offer its own slate of candidates in future Parkside Student Government Association Inc. elections," Hahner continued. "AWOL intends to be an organization that can go out among the students and get things done." Among the current members are PSGA Inc. president Dennis Milutinovich and senators Karen Willems and John Kontz. New members are being sought now. Students interested should contact Hahner at 632-9337 or leave their names in the PSGA, Ire. office. Chen awarded $50,000 Ilie National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a grant of $50,500 in continuing support of research by Parkside Prof. Chong-maw Chen, a life scientist investigating the mechanism of hormone influence on growth and cell division in higher plants. The NSF awarded an initial grant of $34,000 f or the study in 1972. . Formally titled "Action of Cytokinin in Cell Division and Differentiation," Chen's research seeks to determine how the hormone cytokinin affects growth and development. Solving that riddle could point the way for control of those processes, Chen said. Since cytokinin is known to promote formation of flower and fruit in plants, control might make it possible to increase crop yields. Cytokinin also influences transport of nutrients through plants and enhances their resistance to both aging and adverse environments. In mammals, a naturallyoccurring cytokinin has been shown to suppress growth of leukemic cells, suggesting possible use of the hormone as a control agent if scientists can learn how it acts on the organism. Chen's current research is aimed at determining how the compounds which make up the hormone enter the cells, specific routes they follow in the metabolic process and enzyme regulation of metabolism. The study already has resulted in several articles in scholarly journals and a paper presented at an international meeting of plant physiologists. Chen joined the Parkside faculty in fall, 1971, and received on of two "honorable mentions" awarded for teaching excellence at UW-P that year. He received his Ph. D. degree at Kansas University and subsequently held post-doctoral fellowships at the National Cancer Institute of Canada and the Roche Institute of Molecular Biology in New Jersey. He is teaching bioscience and molecular biology courses at UWP this semester, in addition to guiding students assisting him in research under terms of the NSF grant. Education students who plan to student teach Spring Semester 1975 are reminded that the deadline for applications is October 1, 1974. Forms are available in the Clinical Programs Office, Greenquist 210.

This is a principal recommendation made to the Board of Regents' meeting in Green Bay in September by a UWSystem ta sk force composed of representatives of the five universities: UW-Madison, UWMilwaukee, UW-Platteville, UWparkside and UW-Stout. The task force was appointed last November by Senior Vice President Donald E. Smith of the UW-System to make recommendations for a System longrange plan for engineering and technology programs. In a 76- page report to the Regents the task force also recommended that: "No new programs in engineering or technology should be approved at the five univerrilS, if*!! the need has been carefully documented. --Serious consideration should be given to establishing one or more baccalaureate degree programs in the System in engineering technology. -Schools of engineering and technology in the UW-System should work with other two and four year UW campuses, with private colleges and universities and with vocational-technical institutions to facilitate transfer of credits into UW baccalaureate programs. They should also work with UW Extension to develop continuing education programs. --Inter-institution or consortia programs should be developed to New major make available to all students and faculty the UW-System resources in engineering and technology for education and research. -Deans of schools of engineering and technology should appoint recruitercounselors to increase enrollment of ethnic minority members and women. -Deans should determine the minimum number of majors and faculty members needed to maintain quality programs and should set criteria to evaluate undergraduate programs. -One or more permanent committees should be established to implement the task force recommendations and to coordinate UW-System undergraduate engineering and technology programs in the future. -Another task force should be appointed to study graduate programs in engineering and technology in the System. The introduction to the task force report said: "A temporal antitechnology bias, coupled with the adverse publicity concerning nemployment of engineers and technologists in the electronics and aerospace industry in 1969 and 1970, caused freshman enrollment in engineering to plummet, and now total engineering enrollment has dropped to the enrollment levels of the mid-1950s.... "As a result of the projected shortages of engineering graduates and of the obvious needs for the development of improved and-or novel means for utilization of the nation's energy resources, there is currently a great demand for engineers and technologists."

The meeting was open to members of the Geography discipline as well as to students who would possibly participate in the new program. The proposed major would resemble somewhat the structure of a Communications major, in that a series of core courses would be require. The core courses would be supplemented by required courses in the area of the student's major. In the Anthro-Geography major, all students would take nine credits in core courses: Cartography 350 (Geography), Research Methods 300 (Geography and Anthropology), and Cultural Anthropology 200. The students would then branch off in their respective majors of either Geography or Anthropology. The courses for either area will be the"same as they are in the present majors 3 emoto- & SHORECREST 639 5305 GEORGETOWN 554 7334 PIZZA CHICKEN VXD FISH CARRYOUTS ANYTIME! HOURS Sun Wed 8.

Nine credits of electives would also have to be chosen with special consideration given to the courses that are cross-listed. The major would require a minimum of thirty credit hours. The advantages of this proposal would be the elimination of duplicate courses offered by both disciplines, it would also establish a home for Anthropology students while keeping expenditures for faculty and equipment at their present level. A new course under the heading of "Human Origins" was also discussed. The objective of this course is to introduce students to the methods, goals and the perspective of modern Physical Anthropology. The course will cover a range of topics such as the scope of physical anthropology, genetics of human evolution, pre-hominid fossil records, non-human primates, the various levels of human evolution and others, The course number will be a 200 level and two essay exams will be required to receive credit for the course. m 1 Pure Brewed From God's Country.

Sue Wanggaard took the No. l singles match in both games, defeating Jane Lutz of UW-M- 9-7 and Carol Ross of Whitewater 8-3. The only other win was by Sandy Kingsfield and . Joan Fredrickson in doubles against UW-M. On Saturday against Stevens Point, the netters dropped another close one 3-2. Sue Wanggaard again won in singles over Cindy Mixdorf 6-1 and 6-0, but our other point didn't come from the KingsfieldFredrickson team. This time it was Eileen Reilly and Nicolet DeRose crushing Sue Tilden and Ruth Ittner 6-3 and 6-1 in No. 2 doubles. This Saturday, the girls travel to Whitewater for an eleven team Invitational against other schools from Wisconsin and Illinois. Soccer The Ranger soccer squad opened its season with a victory at Rockford College last Wednesday. Team captain Rick Lechusz and Rick Kilps both scored goals, in the 2-0 win . On Saturday, the Rangers took on Northern Illinois University and came out on the wrong end of a 2-1 score. Tashe Bozinovski scored the lone goal as the hooters missed three open net shots. The soccer team must be by now, feeling the loss of one of their better players, Joe Orr, who is saddled with scholastic difficulties. It seems that Joe came up a few credits short last semester and is in the process of making them up. If and when he does become eligile, the team should be much stronger. This weekend, the booters travel to Qunicy, Illinois for the Qunicy College Tournament. On Saturday, they face Qunicy, the 1973 NAIA Champion, and on Sunday, their foe will be St. Louis University, the 1973 NCAA Champion.
