Moy Discusses SMI "problems" Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document 1 by Diane Carlson Several weeks ago, Mahesh Jain made the statement that "Parkside students who are majoring in business and specializing in accounting have been misled in the past and are being misled now." Jain said that students are being led into believing that graduation from Parkside's business program will enable them to sit for the CPA exam. This is not the case, since Parkside is not accredited. The Ranger talked to Dr. William Moy, Professor of In­dustrial Engineering about the situation, and received a dif­ferent view of the matter. "We are working toward a CPA, but Jain's contention that he is here to "straighten out the accounting program" implies that it needs straightening out. Naturally, everyone will turn to Jain for help in areas in which he is proficient and has experience, but to say that he will straighten us out.." Moy declared that he had been "very pure as far as ever misleading students into thinking we would be certified in the near Moy discusses SMI "problems future, and I don't think that any faculty member has implied it. If anyone has, it was Jain." Moy said, "I saw all transfers into the Business Program up until a year ago. I made it clear that if a student wanted to be able to sit for the CPA he could get a degree from Parkside and take the additional required courses from a certified school, or transfer to an accredited school from Parkside, but that Parkside was not accredited." Dr. Jain also made the statement that the UW-Parkside Business faculty was not qualified, which was the reason for their lack of accreditation. "This upsets me because we have some very good people, and they don't deserve this," Dr. Moy stated. Moy says that there is a mixture of PhD people, MBA's The Parkside — B.S.'s and part-time faculty for a definite reason, which is, "to provide a different type of business education that the student can get at Madison or Whitewater. We are interested in exposing the student to all aspects of business, both theory and real-world experienced people. This makes Parkside unique." Moy s tressed the fact that the business and accounting programs must be viewed in light of the fact that they are part of a process. "We are in a stage of development. We are always working.toward a CPA, but it is going to take some time. I think that if we had unlimited resources, we could have it in one year. By unlimited resources, I mean the more and the people. "Neither, he said, are available at Parkside. There has been a total freeze on the filling of fa culty positions by Chancellor Guskin, and this is coupled with the problem that "You can't just walk out on the street and hire four PhD's tommorrow." Moy also stated that the recruiting season was over, and, according to him, the chances of filling the now vacant business positions in time for the fall semster is practically zero. Right now, the accounting specialty in the business program offers 13 courses, as opposed to five that were offered in 1971-72. This makes a total of 55 s ections of accounting courses, 40 more than four years ago. As far as faculty is concerned, the full time faculty has increased by three over this period, totaling four full-time accounting faculty members, one of which has a Ph-D, one with a B.S. and CPA, and 2 with MBA's. The number of p art-time faculty members has in­creased from four to nine, all of whom have either a Masters or a Doctorate. Although claiming the need for part-time faculty, Dr. Moy recognized the problems associated with part-timers. "They are hired for one semester, but it is sometimes implied that they are hired for two. By the time we get the student evaluations from the fall semster, it is too late to get an UP ITh RAI\IGER Vol. IV No. 23 Marrh in.. 107* Division change requested idea of w hether or not to hire the instructor for the spring sem­ster." Moy states that he gives a lot of: weight to the student evaluations. The results of the student evaluations of accounting in­structors and courses for the fall 1975 semester are, he feels, persuasive arguments against the feeling that accounting courses are "watered down." In a summary of t he evaluations, it was found that, on a scale of 1 to 5, with five being the highest, the average ranking by students of over all business courses was 3.7. The average'for business in­structors, 4.7. The median class average for a course taught by a full-time accounting faculty member was 4.0, the median for the instructors themselves, 4.3. The median for part-time lec­turers for both course and in­structors was 3.7. Moy stated that the situation of watered down courses "is no continued on page 3 Senate asks for restudy by Mike Palecek The Committee of Principle's proposed breadth requirement was sent to the Academic Policies, Committee by the Faculty Senate at its Tuesday, March 2 meeting. The Academic Policies Committee was instructed by vote of the Senate to review the controversial requirement which originally required a student to take thirty credits in the natural universe, human behavior and organizations, cultural and in­tellectual heritage, the aesthetic world, and technological society. Some faculty persons stated a feeling that the breadth requirement would lose all of its meaning, that it would no longer be an effective way of bringing up Parkside academic quality. Other faculty stated that intelligence is being insulted by the breadth requirement, that on one hand, students are being criticized for being uneducated, and on the other hand they are expected to be academically excellent when they leave Parkside. Chancellor Alan Guskin recommended to the group "not to amend the proposal to death." The Basic Skills requirement, that Parkside students have proficiency in such things as reading, writing, arithmetic and speech, was passed by the Senate, and will be implemented in the Fall of 1977. Incoming Parkside students will be required to take examinations in these areas, and those failing the tests will need to take remedial courses to catch up. By the middle of the student's sophomore year, one will have to have passed all the areas for competency. According to COP co-chairman William Murin, the Academic Policies Committee will study the implementation process of Basic Skills, with regard to when testing shall take place, costs of the program, possible reorganization of counseling services, and whether students failing certain exams will be able to take all university courses. Murin expressed doubt as to whether students who cannot come up to certain levels will be able to take courses where such basic skills are necessary. Therefore, the Academic Policies Committee will have to look at each course -offered to see whether certain basic skills are needed. Murin jokingly said "Perhaps all some students will be able to take in their first semester are remedial courses and badminton and volleyball." Also in question at the Faculty Senate meeting was whether money was available for a proposed Center for Academic Excellance, and whether the Center was just a duplication of the Library-Learning Center. Proponents of the Center for Academic Excellence state that the current learning center is mainly a storehouse for educational hardware and that the Center would serve a function focused on working with the exceptional student, while op­ponents feel that the Library-Learning Center was conceived as a center for student ex­cellence. It was voted 11-9 to "give the Center for Academic Excellence a chance". In response to the money question Guskin replied with a phrase that is becoming more and more familiar: "the money will be found". by Bruce Wagner The March 4 meeting of the Social Science Division executive committee found them discussing the probability of having the philosophy discipline join their division under a Committee of Principals (COP) proposal which will be implemented in Sep­tember 1976. A letter written to the com­mittee by philosophy discipline coordinator Wayne Johnson suggested the division add philosophy to the new structure but gave no reasons for the change. Chairperson John Campbell cited a question of c ompatability between the current structure and the COP proposal. The new proposal has the small philosophy discipline caught between a very large English department and medium sized foreign laguage and literature discipline. Sociology professor Morton Nachlas found some merit in the assikmilation of "the group but suggested possibly that they could join the Behaviorial Science division of sociology, anthropology, and psychology being formed in the fall. Nachlas stated that the philosophy he had -studied in undergraduate work was helpful in solving behaviorial problems. Although Campbell was worried about it being too late in the year, the members at this meeting decided to form a sub­committee, which will be com­prised of Frank Egerton, John Harbeson, Richard Rosenberg plus some other faculty to be named by Campbell, to meet with Johnson and the philosophy discipline. Any action taken by this sub­committee will have to come ultimately to the full division and the Faculty Senate for final approval and implementation. WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

We stammered that we had worked for a new heaven, and a new earth, and they thanked us kindly, and made their peace " - T E Lawrence -Once again the quadrennial year of decision is upon us. Old men, and younger ones with the old ideas, are eagerly importuning a weary American public to award them the honor of the Bicentennial Presidency. While the candidates go to great lengths to pat themselves on the back and posture that 1976 is their annointed year, the public just yawns in their bipartisan faces. Long yawns. Well-deserved yawns. But foolish yawns never the less. The expensive education of a generation of young idealists is in danger of becoming a wasted education.Apathy is the handmaiden of moral atrophy. There is no place in the world for idealists who are afraid to dream, any more than there is for philosophers who are afraid to say what they think. So you may be saying to yourself: Why dirty my hands in politics? But isn't politics merely ideas and people? It seems to me that many people choose not to become involved in politics just as they are afraid to conduct a fearless and searching moral inventory of themselves, and for much the same reason-if you're afraid of los ing it: then may be you don't have it.

The People's Republic of Ch ina invited the ex-president to pay them a little visit. Why? Some say its because the Chinese were trying to show up the cruel, inhuman Americans who have made this great man a recluse irrhis own million dollar estate, or that the Chinese still think he has power in the United States and maybe he will help time deal with the U.S. in matters of detente. Some even say that he was sent by this country to discuss things with the Chinese as a special emissary of President Ford.. I say who cares! He can't hurt us anymore. President Ford, cer­tainly must know that if he is linked with Nixon on matters of politics a certain former movie star would use it as a canwagn issue. Why did the Chinese ask for Nixon? Maybe they like him, I don't really know. As far as most people are concerned Nixon can go to Russia, Cuba or even Milwaukee as long as he pays for the tickets. It is not a disgrace to the U.S. if a private citizen takes a trip to another country. We were all shocked and horrified by the Watergate episode but Nixon is not to be hated, he is to be .pitied. He was once at the top-he had it all, but he lost it and that for anybody, is a far greater punish­ment than any the justice department could deal out. The important thing to remember is that Richard Nixon, like ghosts and things that go bump in the night, is only a bad memory in the American dream.

GCCUGJE Support t he Racine Bus To the Editor: After reading your article on the Racine Bus service coming to an end, I wasn't too happy about it. I feel Parkside should advertise and stress the point of how good the service is and not put it down. First of a ll, the bus is running on schedule 90 percent of the time, allowing the other 10 percent for delays en-route. Another point that students fail to realize is the cost of operating a bus, the responsibility the driver has to put up with. The students that are riding now are great, but the drivers in Racine are another thing to be desired. I feel that the rate of 75 cents single or $50 for a semester pass is cheap because of the high rising costs of maintaining and insuring a car. As far as more hourly runs, I can take as many as they can offer. Getting back to the long ride to and from Racine, students can relax and just do about anything. The bus even has a radio, same as a car, so there is no boredom. As a final statement, please advertise this bus more. I need riders, not publicity putting down this sytem. I'm sure I have done decent job of keeping this route on time and I'm sure die studnets think so too. Dan Jalensky Racine Parkside Bus Driver Businessman-in-Residence To the Editor: I am delighted that Eugene Fodor will become artist-in-residence here. But, given Parskide's special mission, wouldn't it be nice also to have a distinguished engineer, businessman, or labor leader in residence. Our student and faculty members would certainly benefit from such a unique op­portunity to associate with someone of stature from the business world. Sincerely, William A. Moy Professor UWP Aware of S ickle C ell To the Editor: On behalf of the Ad-Hoc Committee to plan Sickle Cell Awareness Week, I would like to thank the Parkside community for its support, interest and donations. To this date we have collected $287.00 and, as soon as all contributions are collected, we will distribute the money to local and state organizations involved with Sickle Cell Anemia. We hope very much that awareness of Sickle Cell Anemia will not diminish in the months to come. Sincerely, Edith Isenberg, Chairperson Ad-Hoc Committee to Plan Sickle Cell Awareness Week No longer S ystem's Freest To the Editor, I decided to go to UW-P for the simple fact it sounded like the free-est school in the UW system. Thank you, fellow Parkside High School students for making me realize how apathetic YOUR education has become. If it were -not for your "I don't give a damn" attitude over the breadth requirement and your "I don't give a damn" attitude that will allow it to exist we would be a University. We should not blame COP, we must blame ourselves. Kathy Ann Hermann Nadar to raid on Thur. Consumer crusader Ralph Nader will speak on "Corporate Responsibilities and Consumer Protection" at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside at 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 11, in th •Physical Education Buildin under sponsorship of the student Parkside Activities Board. Tickets are $1.50 for the public and $1 for Parkside students and are available at the Parkside Information Center of Main Place in Wyllie Library-Learning Center, Sears in Kenosha and Team Electronics, Elmwood Plaza, in Racine. Nader came to national prominence ten years this month with publication of his book, "Unsafe at Any Speed," an expose of h azard ous automobiles that led to enact ment of the 1966 Traffic and Moto Safety Act and launched Nader's career as the nation's best-known consumer activist. Updating "Unsafe at Any Speed" in comments on its tenth anniversary, Nader has charged the Nixon and Ford ad­ministrations with putting a "moratorium" on auto safety standards and automakers with an "illusory promise" to improve fuel economy. Subsequent Nader in­vestigations brought new federal laws regulating poultry, natural gas, coal mining, and other in­dustries, as well as an overhaul of the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Ad­ministration. Nader graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University in 1955 and received his law degree from Harvard University in 1958. He first became interested in auto safety as an undergraduate and wrote several articles on the subject for the Harvard Law School newspaper. He now heads a Washington-based investigative agency with 75 full-time "muckrakers" in­volved in more than a dozen projects ranging from medicine to air travel. He worked as a research assistant at Harvard Law School and then set out to do his own research on questions affecting the rights of consumers. In 1969, he established the Center for Study of R esponsive Law and set a group of young professionals-dubbed "Nader's Raiders"-to work researching public interest Unmarried, Nader does not own a car and spends, by his own reckoning, no more than $5,000 a year.
