When students startedfunding a health office - practically the onlyfunction of the office was to provide emergencyand first aidhelp.Now the health office is slowlybecoming a comprehensive full care health facility.The need for this is rather dubious - this is acommuter school and most students havephysicians in the community who take care of theirmedical needs. The response to this line ofargument isthat we are funding health at the lowestlevel relative to any other Wisconsin university.Comparisons like these lack any meaning sincewhat is being done is either comparing Parks idewithadormitory campus (which needs a full-caremedical facility and to compare it with Parks idecan only result in misleading conclusions) or with acommuter campus which has a much largerenrollment.However, even if the comparison were relevantand we were funding health at the lowest level, on aper-student basis, relative to every other Wisconsincollege my objection would still stand. Oneshouldn't fund an operation beyond and abovewhat is necessary to meet the basic needs of thestudents. Unfortunately this is precisely what isbeing done.STUDENT ORGANIZATIONThe Student Organizational Council budget(S20,OOO)which goes to pay various student groupsranging from the Wargamers to the Vet's Club tothe Porn-Porn Squad) is slowly becoming the mostbloated budget in Seg. Fees. (A distinction that isnot easy to accomplish.) Its stated purpose is tofund a broad number of student activities therebyencouraging active student participation in a widevariety of programs. However, funding theseorganizations with student funds defeats thepurpose intended by thts funding. If all fundingfrom seg. fees to these student organizations werecut down to a level that would onlybenecessaryfor staffing and tuition were cut accordingly theresults wouldbepleasantly surprising. First of allthere would be a greater impetus for student groupsto actively recruit students to join their groups.Because the lost revenue from seg. fees wouldprobably be made up by dues from members,groups would have a powerful incentive'to recruitmore members. Deprived of the absurdness ofreceiving adequate funding fromSeg.Fees (andabsurdness almost certainly leads totapatheticattitudes which drains vitality from student groupswhich leads invariably to less student participation)we could reasonably expect to see an enormousincrease in the activities of student groups.Secondly allowing a greater number students towhich groups to join and thereby fund gives themnot only greater freedom in their choice, but moreimportantly gives them a large measure of controlover the various student groups. Once you join agroup and pay dues you become interested inbecoming involved in the type of activities that thegroup pursues.ACCENT ON ENRICHMENTLastly the Accent on Enrichment budget ($4,500)isindicative of what results good intentionssometimes bring. The goal here is to lower theseason ticket prices for the Accent on Enrichmentseriesfrom $45 to $25, While the goal here isadmirable the process by whichthisgoal is tobeaccomplished is rather questionable.To lower the student price for tickets, seg.feemoney is taken from student tuition and given tothe Accent on Enrichment series so the price canbelowered. Now no matter what the results are, theyare undesirable.Ifthe results are tremendouslysuccessful than the decrease in prices will be small.If the results are a failure the decrease in price willbe substantial but the inequity will be quitelarge,In the former example, the benefits the studentsreceive will be largely illusory.Idoubt whether any student wouldconsiderit abenefit if sav when buying beer he first had to pay5c but then the price of that beerwasreducedbySc.Yet this is precisely the device that isembodiedin this scheme. In the latter example the interestedfew would benefit greatly, The major brunt of thereduced price would be on the majority ofthestudents who do not attend the series. Thisisclearly inequitable; students who are not interestedin the series wouldbeforced to subsidize thosewho are. Thatshouldnot happen,thosestudentswho want to attend the series should havetopaythe full cost.Now my objections to this wouldbequickly dealtwith ifthe subsidy to the series was a one shot deal.Ifit were, then this subsidy would be a brittiantnotion. For if, as is now the case, students are notaware of the merits of the series and do not havethe inclination to find out by buying season ticketsthen lowering the prices for one season would drawin most of those who have some interest. Then afterone season the prices could be returned to theirnormal level and one could realistically hope thatthe ratio of students to non-students attending theAccent on Enrichment series would improvesubstantially. So in summary, while it's nice tolower prices for students it shouldn't be doneonalong-term basis with student money.So in conclusion I offer these objections notasan attempt to exorcise existing or past committeesbut as an attempt to offer serious well-thought outarguments on the Seg. Fees budgetary process.This year Seg. Fees will go up (about a 6.9%increase and tuition will then go up accordingly)but the increase was not as much as it would havebeen had the Seg.

HEALTH The Health budget (S30,000) is an excellent example of the kind of services that are not needed by a commuter college. When students started funding a health office -practically the only function of the office was to provide emergency and first aid help. Now the health office is slowly becoming a comprehensive full care health f~ci)ity The need for this is rather dubious -this 1s a commuter school and most students have phy ic1ans in the community who take c~re of their medical needs. The response to this line of argument is that we are funding health at the lowest level relative to any other Wisconsin university. Comparisons like these lack any meaning since ~hat is being done is either comparing Parkside with a dormitory campus (which needs a full-care medical facility and to compare it with Parkside can only result in misleading conclusions) or with a commuter campus which has a much larger enrollment. However, even if the comparison were relevant and we were funding health at the lowest level, on a per-student basis, relative to every other Wisconsin college my objection would still stand. One shouldn't fund an operation beyond and above what is necessary to meet the basic needs of the students. Unfortunately this is precisely what is being done. STUDENT ORGANIZATION The Student Organizational Council budget (S20,000) which goes to pay various student groups ranging from the Wargamers to the Vet's Club to the Porn-Porn Squad) is slowly becoming the most bloated budget in Seg. Fees. (A distinction that is not easy to accomplish.) Its stated purpose is to fund a broad number of student activities thereby encouraging active student participation in a wide variety of programs. However, funding these organizations with student funds defeats the purpose intended by this funding. If all funding from seg. fees to these student organizations were cut down to a level that would only be necessary for staffing and tuition were cut accordingly the results would be pleasantly surprising. First of all there would be a greater impetus for student groups to actively recruit students to join their groups. Because the lost revenue from seg. fees would probably be made up by dues from members, groups would have a powerful incentive to recruit more members. Deprived of the absurdness of receiving adequate funding from Seg. Fees (and absurdness almost certainly leads to , apathetic attitudes which drains vitality from student groups which leads invariably to less student participation) we could reasonably expect to see an enormous increase in the activities of student groups. Secondly allowing a greater number students to which groups to join and thereby fund gives them not only greater freedom in their choice, but more importantly gives them a large measure of control over the various student groups. Once you join a group and pay dues you become interested in becoming involved in the type of activities that the group pursues. ACCENT ON ENRICHMENT Lastly the Accent on Enrichment budget ($4,500) is indicative of what results good intentions sometimes bring. The goal here is to lower the season ticket prices for the Accent on Enrichment series from $45 to $25. While the goal here is admirable the process by which this goal is to be accomplished is rather questionable. To lower the student price for tickets, seg. fee money is taken from student tuition and given to the Accent on Enrichment series so the price can be lowered. Now no matter what the results are, they are undesirable. If the results are tremendously successful than the decrease in prices will be small. If the results are a failure the decrease in price will be substantial but the inequity will be quite large. In the former example, the benefits the students receive will be largely illusory. I doubt whether any student would consider it a benefit if say when buying beer he first had to pay Sc but then the price of that beer was reduced by Sc. Yet this is precisely the device that is embodied in this scheme. In the latter example the interested few would benefit greatly. The major brunt of the reduced price would be on the majority of the students who do not attend the series. This is clearly inequitable; students who are not interested in the series would be forced to subsidize those who are. That should not happen, those students who want to attend the series should have to pay the full cost. Now my objections to this would be quickly dealt with if the subsidy to the series was a one shot deal. If it were, then this subsidy would be a brilliant notion. For if, as· is now the case, students are not aware of the merits of the series and do not have the inclination to find out by buying season tickets then lowering the prices for one season would draw in most of those who have some interest. Then after one season the prices could be returned to their normal level and one could realistically hope that the ratio of students to non-students attending the Accent on Enrichment series would improve substantially. So in summary, while it's nice to , lower prices for students it shouldn't be done on a long-term basis with student money. So in conclusion I offer these objections not as an attempt to exorcise existing or past committees but as an attempt to offer serious well-thought out arguments on the Seg. Fees budgetary process. This year Seg. Fees will go up (about a 6.9% increase and tuition will then go up accordingly) but the increase was not as much as it would have been had the Seg. Fees Committee not been able to eliminate funding for the Racine-bus and the shuttle bus service. ($22,000) However next year the committee will get no such reprieve and unless thinking is altered on what should and should not be funded tuition will be up substantially.
