Four Proposals Passed by Mike Murphy Four proposals were passed by the Faculty Senate in session last November 21st. The Faculty Senate, upon recommendation by the Univer­sity committee, approved the creation of an Institutes of Local Government and Social Sciences on the U.W. Parkside campus. In a resolution to the Faculty Senate the Master of Public Service Administration (MPSA) identified needs by the commu­nities for programs and services beyond the scope of MPSA. Such programs, it is felt, would fall within the community-based mission of the university. The functions of the Institute shall include the offering of workshops and seminars on public sector management and service delivery questions; research services; contract work, consulting services publication services, grant writing activities and conterences. The Institute, as presently established, will not extend to the offering of any academic credit but could, in some future date, under the approval of the Faculty Senate. The PSGA moved to add the words "sexual preference" to the current University's non-discrimination policy. With approval of the chancellor, the official non-discrimination policy will read as follows: The University of Wisconsin Parkside offers equal employment and educational opportunities to all qualified candidates. All educational programs and services including admissions, and all employment opportunities, conditions and benefits, including recruitment, selection and assignment, are administer­ed without discrimination on the basis of race, sex, sexual preference, color, national origin, age, religion, physical handicap or veteran status. The Academic Policies Committee proposed to the Faculty Senate a resolution concerning students' eligibility to receive both Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. Students completing majors that would lead to more than one form of Bachelor's Degree (Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelors of Science) must select which degree he/she wishes to receive. The final resolution passed by the faculty senate was the elimination of the Six-Week Grade policy for freshman. Instructors, it was further resolved, are encourage to provide grade information to all students before the end of the drop period (12 weeks). The resolution was proposed in light of the relatively recent extension of the drop period to twelve weeks. Students, it was felt, would normally have an indication of their progress in a course by a mid term exam. The six-week grade policy, where freshman receive an indication of their grade progress in a course in the mail by the sixtn week of classes, would be unnecessary. Bozon Pushes Business Outreach by Cathy Brownlee Parkside's Division of Business and Administrative Science, through the University of Wisconsin Extension, has initi­ated the Small Business and Outreach Program. Glen F. Bozon, a new member to Parkside's faculty, is the Coordinator of Business Out­reach. As Mr. Bozon explained, the program's purpose is to serve business and industry in Kenosha and Racine cocmties. Through the professional resources of Parkside's faculty, conferences, workshops, seminars, and var­ious other programs provide support in business's functional areas of need. These programs take place on campus as well as in the business's own plant. To get the program started, Mr. Bozon has to make the surrounding communities aware of Parkside's available sources of information. Fie has begun to establish the university's image by talking to various business groups. Surveys announcing future goals and determining business's needs are also being planned. Besides general presentations, the Business Outreach Program sponsors specific workshops for specific companies as per demand. Some of the future plans of the program involve such activities as six, one-day conferences for Jacobsen Manufacturing and a two-day conference on Management Techniques for Supervisors. These programs and others will become part of Parkside's continuing effort of making the University relavent to the community. The Parkside campus is the "best location" for this type of Business Outreach Program. This area is industrially based and offers the University an excellent opportunity to help support business. At the present time, the program involves the work of the faculty in their areas of emphasis. But, the business student has another program aimed at getting them acquainted with and working in business in the Kenosha and Racine area—the Business Co-op Pro­gram. Students in the Business and Administrative Science Division are hired to work on a one or two semester basis and follow a "planned sequential program." Supervisors from business and from the faculty work with the students. The students are then required to write a report based on his or her experiences. Right now, a limited amount of students are involved, but requests from businesses for student workers are increasing. Mr. Bozon senses a very "positive attitude" about the Co-op Program. It is a very rewarding experience for the student because he or she can apply knowledge and bring back experiences to the classroom. This program makes business and student more aware of each other. At first, these two important programs may seem like a tough job to tackle for a "first-year" faculty member, but Glen Bozon has a lot of experience and knowledge behind him. cont. on page 3 SUFAC Completes Preliminaries by Mike Murphy The PSGA Senate, in meeting November 20th, decided to accept, preliminary budgets set forth by the Segregated Fees committee under the motion system. The decision passed the Senate by a 5-1-0 margin. Rusty Smith, president of PSGA and newly appointed member of the SUFAC committee, pushed to get the SUFAC proposal passed by the Senate in the spirit of establishing a good working relationship between the two committees. The SUFAC committee will now be allowed to continue the process of setting preliminary budgets without having to reset budgets previously set under the motion system. In the following November 22nd meeting of the PSGA Senate candidates were reviewed to fill three open positions on the SUFAC committee. Vicky Wellens of the Cooperative Services Collective, Glen Christiansen a member of SOC (Student Organization Committee) and former chairman to the SUFAC committee, and Al Wertmer of SOC were the candidates chosen to fulfill the positions. All three members expressed an overall cooperative effort in working with the SUFAC committee, a serious attempt in objectively deliberating budgets, and an acceptance of the motion system as the procedure in setting budgets. At the November 24th meeting of the SUFAC committee, complete with the newly appointed members but absent Doug Edenhauser and Buzz Merrick, the remainder of the preliminary budgets were set. The committee also, after much discussion, decided to use the motion procedure with 2/3 majority of quorum (1 + Vi of the toti committee must be present to have quorum and is necessary for an committee action) needed to set a final budget. The decision will b sent to the Senate for final approval. If approved the committee wi begin final budgets on December 1st. Chancellor Guskin has bee invited to appear at the meeting. The preliminary budgets set are: requested preliminary Union Debt Service $105,500 $105,5C Public Arts and Lectures $9,092 $8,3C Union Operations $193,854 $187^28 Union Programming $14,310 $13'6S PAB Programming $26,450 $23 0C Student Health $32,946 $33',0C Atretics $50,025 $47,08 Intrumurals $34,592 $32,3C Sufac committee $500 $5( PSGA $3,800 $3,71 Child Care $6,000 $6,0( Building Costs $2,850 %2,2i Student Organizations Committee $22,000 $20 0( Cooperative Services Collective $9,049 $6 Of Ran^er $14,511 $101( Housing $10,064 $9^3: total $535,543 $508,1: All SUFAC and Senate meetings are open to students and all a encouraged to attend. Wednesday November 29,1978 RANGER To The Editor Due Correction To the editor: In my letter to the editor appearing in the November 22, 1978 issue of the Parkside Ranger, I stated that only Wargamers, of all Student Groups charged dues or a membership fee. I have since been informed that several other clubs charge some sort of dues. I wish to apologize to those clubs and students I may have inadvertantly offended by that statement. Sincerely, Mary A. Mortl Rebuttal For SOC To the editor, As a student and as president of the Student Organization Council (SOC) I feel compelled to answer the letter written by Mary Mortl which appeared in the November 22 issue of the Ranger. First, Ms. Mortl alleged that SOC had no idea of how much money remains in the SOC's budget as a whole or in the budgets of individual student organizations. How absurb! Her statement implies that no records are kept on student organizations and that this university gives the money to student groups and let's them do with it as they please with no check system being used. The reason, as I explained at the SUFAC meeting (which Ms. Mortl apparently didn't hear) that I did not give these exact figures was because they were not in my possession at the time. I did however state approximate dollar amounts to the committee and this seemed to satisfy them as they made a decision based on this information. Secondly, as to the small amount of clubs reporting a budget request, there were 18 clubs that did present a budget. But, as I pointed out to the committee, (a fact which Ms. Mortl again didn't hear) the estimates being approximations were somewhat exaggerated. So I brought the matter of an SOC budget to the SOC and as a group we decided a request of $22,000 was reasonable. We arrived at this figure by adding inflation costs of $1300, and requesting an increase of $2500 for new clubs (There have been 10 new clubs this year.) to the $18,250 we received last year. Thirdly, as far as no revenue generation among clubs is concerned, this is yet another area that Ms. Mortl seemed to turn a deaf ear to. We had expected to bring in $5,000 worth of revenue this year, but due to the failure of some projects (and therefore loss of revenue) we'll expect to generate only $3,000. However, student organizations are beginning to become more independent and so we are expecting to bring in $6,000 in revenue next year. This being a 100% increase over this year's revenue. Lastly, as to her comment that each club should be provided a top funding level of about $100, all I can say is that it is a ludicrous suggestion. If each student organization was to be given a maximum of $100, student life on campus would cease. This is because if all clubs had to generate enough money to survive, the amount of available revenue generating resources would soon dry up. All of the educational colloquiums, lectures and field trips would be cancelled. The various athletic clubs like sailing and cross country skiing wouldn't exist. There would be no dances, movies, etc. as PAB couldn't survive on $100. There would be no Ranger either because they need more than $100. There would be nothing on campus. In conclusion, clearly the facts were ignored in Ms. Mortl's letter. She attended the SUFAC meeting, but obviously didn't listen to anything said there. Student groups have based their budget on material figures, have been attempting to fund themselves, and are a definite necessity on campus. Therefore I find the actions of the SUFAC committee sound and hope that they shall continue to act accordingly. Sincerely, Jeffrey Prostko Tenure Article Incomplete I have a few corrections concerning the tenure process as set forth in Mollie Clark's article: Retractions In the November 20th story titled PSGA Questions SUFAC Procedures, C.S.S. was named as receiving a preliminary budget of $6,060. The organization receiving the. funds was, in actuality C.S.C. (Cooperative Services Collective). Also, in the same article Mr. Prostko's name was, through our ignorance, mispell-ed. Sorry Geoff. Finally, it was stated that the Senate "passed a movement" not to accept 'The Facts on Tenure" as published in the November 15, 1978 issue of the Ranger. Divisional Executive Commit­tees, consisting of the tenured associate and full professors of a division forward their positive recommendations for tenure to the Personnel Review Commit­tee. The Personnel Review Committee forwards its recommendations to the Vice Chancellor. To be granted tenure, a faculty member needs -a positive recommendation from his Divisional Executive Committee, and usually also from the Personnel Review Committee. The Vice Chancellor passes his recommendation on to the Chancellor who passes on his positive recommendations to the President of the UW System and the Board of Regents. If at any time, a positive recommendation is reversed, an opportunity for a reconsideration is offered. Either the original committee meeting or any subsequent reconsideration meeting may be open if the candidate so demands, (see Wisconsin Statute 19.84) Student input is predominant­ly through the Stqdent Course and Faculty Evaluation forms completed every semester in every class. The forms used vary by division and the interpretation of the results is a matter of judgment. Research in the validity of such survey instruments is still continuing. It is correct to say that a faculty member is considered for promotion to tenure by his/her record of accomplishments in the areas of teaching, scholar­ship and service. Students seldom appreciate virtues aside from teaching ability, but all areas are considered. The Faculty Rights and Responsibilities Committee has no role in the tenure review process, however, if the tenure candidate wishes to alledge a procedural irregularity, he/she may appeal to the Hearings and Appeals Committee, an elected faculty body. This committee normally will not make sub­stantive judgements, but, if the allegation of procedural irregu- ! larity is upheld will send the matter back to the appropriate review committee. I hope this helps straighten out the procedure a bit. I would be happy to provide additional information on the procedure should questions arise. Walter Feldt Secretary of the Faculty preliminary budgets under the motion procedure. It was, however, brought to our attention that the PSGA Senate does not make movements collectively in the conference room. I beg Your Pardon. Hon would you feel about a prison being built near Parkside? Jeff LeMere -I wouldn't mind it in the area, but not on campus grounds. Phil Marry-As a last alternative I 'd say yes but other areas should be considered first. Rosemary Strand-I don't have any objection to the prison itself, but I like the open areas around here and wouldn't want a large facility built close to the campus. Judy Rusch-I wouldn't want it. I'd rather see Parkside grow and I feel that would hamper any growth. Chris Nelson-I don't think it'd be a good idea because it would possibly give Parkside a bad name and could decrease enrollment. SHIIMIIII' China Trip Planned Modern day China, a country with about one-fourth of the world's population, will be the topic of a slide-lecture program offered through UW-Extension and UW-Parkside. Mildred Linton, Racine, led a tour to China in October 1978 — her second trip to China in three years. She will show her slides and describe, as she perceives it from her readings and personal contact, the new revolution in progress since the passing of the great leaders - Chairman Mao andChou En Lai. In China, she has visited educational institutions, factories, communes, neighborhood committees, hospitals and his­toric sites. She also had the opportunity of meeting with various groups to discuss women's rights, the role of the theatre, economic policy and minorities. Mrs. Linton says that discussion will cover such disparate questions confronting the United States as normalization and an understanding of why the People's Republic of China does not participate in the Olympics. The program will be held Wednesday, December 6, at 7:00 p.m. in Molinaro Hall room 215 (Classroom Building). There is no fee, but preregistration is requested in order to insure adequate seating.
