Guskin Editor's Note: Last week Ranger talked with Chancellor Alan Guskin about the budget process, segregated fees, and his interpretation of Wisconsin Statute 36.09, sections 3 and 5. Statute 36.09, sections 3 and 5, define the responsibilities of the chancellor and the students. The parts of 36.09 in question are: section 3 which defines the responsibilities of the chancellor [" ... and administrating all funds, from whatever source, allocated, generated or intended for use of their institutions."] and section 5 which defines the responsibilities of the students ["Students in consultation with the chancellor and subject to the final confirmation of the board shall have the responsibility for the disposition of those student fees which constitue substantial support for campus student activities."].

RANGER: Could you describe the events that led you to come to your decision about Seg Fees? GUSKIN: The decision really emerged from months of discussion I met with the President of student government, I guess weekly for almost a month and a half. The primary discussion of those meetmgs was the issue of the Dean of Student Life and what the administrative reorganization was all about. Whether students had the capabilit , not the ability, but the capability given the present pol1c to really determine how funds can be spent for that position. I spent months tr ing to influence Rusty Smith (President of Student Government) and other people to understand what I thought was the good faith of the institution. In the reorganrzat1on we made sure we didn't spend any more mone ', e cept for normal salar increases, which was previous!\ allocated. We did not want to get into the issue of defrnrng what is the responsibility of students and what 1s the responsibilit of the admin1strat1on. I've tned desperately to avoid that in the hopes we could work things out. I made no headwa . I could not convince Rusty or through other people member of the committee Very honestly I felt we were not dealing with a campus issue Without being tough on Rusty, I think she was acting in good faith, I think she was being prompted by United Students (United Council, as it is commonly referred to 1s an organization made up of the president and representatives of all the UW student government associations). My own JU gment as t at the ~tu ents were not dealing with the issue They were fighting out a United Students battle as well as their own battle. That very honestly concerned___me. My ability to influence students 1s compromised at that point. I'm dealing with a system-wide issue, not a local issue. On the issue of the Dean of Student Life position I made no headway I found myself talking the same thing over and over again It isn't though you want to define in black and white areas ,,.

After 2 years of what I would describe as a tense relationship, they have finally caused the chancellor to take a firm stand on the Segregated Fees budget. And as I read the Ranger article and the chancellor's prepared statement, the old win-lose phrase comes to mind. First, the students have won in a sense because the chancellor has removed the uncertainty from administrative programs due to the changeable nature of SUFAC membership. Those areas which function in this sphere can now be assured of a continuity from one year to the next as administered by professionals whose job it is to perform the task. By removing this responsi-bility from the SUFAC, the chancellor has put administra-tion into the hands of the administrators and removed it from the auspices of a committee which has shown to this writer that it does not have the responsibility and maturity to administer important pro-grams. However, this gain is tempered by the fact that the students also lose in the situation. The opportunity to consult in the making of fiscal policy is an important resJ)onsibility and one which students should be proud to have. But policy-making is a cooperative venture and ap-parently those students on the SUFAC did not have the maturity to realize this and this has led to antagonism with the chancellor. This antagonism seems to have caused a breach in the budgetary process with the chancellor's assumption of control over a major portion of the Segregated Fee. This is really a tragic loss for the studentJ of Parkside because they have allowed an important policy-making function to slip from their hands due to the apparently misguided or hard-headed attitude of a small group of students. Students of Parkside should be very distressed at their actions as well as the actions of the Student Government itself · which claims to have jurisdiction over this body. The SUFAC was an important committee and should · have been approached with the time tested logic of compromise and maturity. Apparently this com-mittee, too, has become a political football in a game that is heavily weighted in favor of the professionals. The prospect for an upset existed, but apparently the student merr ,nr s of SUFAC fumbled the ba1, a.rd are now forcing the entire student body to live with the results. Peter L. Strutynski SUFAC Chairman, 1976-77 Child Prono defended To The Editor: This is in reply to Mr, Mrs, Miss, or Ms (please circle one) Meegan M. Iverson. You goody-two shoes really make me sick. Your article on Child Pono is really heavy with errors. For one thing the number of Chicken (i.e. children under 18 who sell themselves for sexual purposes) is much gr~ater than 120,000 in New York. There are 7 "model" agencies that I know of that handle at least 10,000 models each. There are many more agencies and then there's the street trade, so a good guess would be 200,000. Don't forget, to name a few, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Philadephia, Milwaukee, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, L.A., and even Kenosha. Yes, even Kenosha, and believe it or not there are some male students here at Parkside who work for one of the larger "model" agencies in Chicago. But if you want some freelance love, go to the Kenosha Baths. Now I can only state my view point of the male prositute (Hustlers). I know several and even had a friend in High School that when he needed some extra money would go down and "work" on Wisconsin Ave. My friend did not hate, or feel repulsed by what he did. In fact he loved it! Oh, yes and by the way my friend was totally Bisexual and he even brought me out. If there were not thesl:? +ilms, books, magazines and hustlers there would be many more sexual assaults. I agree that there are some who hate what they're doing, but a hooker can lie there and make all the right sounds and the "John" wouldn't know is she was thinking about her retirement. But with a hustler, well, let's just say he has a barometer of what his emotions are at the moment. So if the heart isn't into what he is doing, he won't be doing it long. So I am for porno as long as the participants are over 12. For some boys this is the only way they can live. What kind of a job can a 14 year-old get? So while 'some people may be' spitting blood by now. It is the only way they can survive. The Baron Ratner challenged To the Editor: As an alumni of City College of New York (CCNY), class of 1963, I would like to take issue with Dr. Ratners' statements printed in the January 25th issue of the Ranger. City College and the other units of the City System had and still maintain high academic standards for their students; a 6PA of 82.5 (B+) or an equivalent standing on the educational Testing Service Boards was required when I entered City College. Except for a brief span in the 70's when open enrollment was instituted, aca-demic standards were enforced in the City System. Open enrollment has proven to be a total failure, as attested by City College reverting back to a academic selection procedure. City Colleges uniqueness was that academic standards, not financial ability was the criteria, for adr,ission. City college, till three years ago, did not charge a tuition fee; as a result thousands were provided the opportunity for a quality education. Dr. Ratner also cites data on Grade Point Averages "going down from 1972 onward at Harvard", it would seem more appropriate to cite Parkside data.
