Legislative Affairs not only makes UC's position known to state politicians, it also keeps students informed of laws affecting them. Curt Pawlisch, Director of Legis­lative Affairs, is UC's lob­byist in the state government. At the United Council meeting held at Parkside last Friday, Pawlisch urged campus representatives there to get students in the UW System out to vote. He added that this was the most effective way to catch the government's attention. "Students aren't taken seriously in the legislature," he told campus delegates. "They're a joke. We're an annoyance. I would like to be much more than a joke or an annoyance . . . There's an old saying: legislators don't see the light until they feel the heat. And we have to apply that heat in November." Pawlisch said he would try to get as much information to campuses concerning candidates running in the area. Even though Pawlisch has been at his job for a little over a month, already he has seen results, he says, in the part students played in the passing of the Nuclear Freeze Referendum. He added that Legislative Af­fairs is using several methods to measure the student vote, like measuring turnout in wards with a high student population. There would be problems with schools like Parkside, though, because the students are not confined to one geographic area. Pawlisch said the only solution there would be to take an informal survey of the student population. Another area UC is currently active in is rule - making. The' United Council plans on sub­mitting a report of policy recommendations to the Joint Committee for the Review of Academic Rules (JCRAR) for their consideration. JCRAR is exploring for the Board of Regents modifications in UW System policy in the area of shared governance, or joint university rule by students and ad­ministration. Pawlisch has requested campus student governments to submit reports to UC for incorporation in a report to the JCRAR. "I think we're making really good progress on that," he said. "We're in the process of evaluating existing policies on shared governance," he added. "Right now, the student govern­ments are supposed to be giving me a three to five page report on the status of those policies at their institutions and then we're going to follow through with compiling these reports and issuing a report UNITED COUNCIL BOARD Photos by Masood Shafiq CROWDED U.C. MEETING to the Board of Regents, recommending any changes." "I don't know if ru le - making is really going to be the answer for student concerns. I think the biggest point is that students have to understand if th ey like existing policies or not. If they think they're fine, then we should just tell that to the Board of Regents and say, 'don't change them.' And the Board of Regents would be happy to hear it." One issue of importance to Parkside students, many of w hom rent their own apartments, is United Council's association with the Coalition On Landlord - Tenant Reforms (COLTR). COLTR is the only statewide tenant lobbying group. Some of their efforts in­clude: laws to prohibit landlords from collecting interest on security deposits, winterization standards for apartment units, and the repeal of cohabitation laws (cohabitation is illegal in Wisconsin). Last year COLTR had legislation passed authorizing the state government to regulate condominium conversions, a bill the housing lobby had defeated the year before, according to Pawlisch. Curt Pawlisch is a graduate Political Science student in Madison. He served as a legislative aid in the state assembly before coming to UC. Although he describes his own policies as "very liberal," he said, "The only thing I lobby on are the positions of the United Council." New legal service coming to Parkside by Pat Hensiak Editor A new legal service is being designed here on campus to in­form students of their rights and responsibilities under the law, and to aid them in the resolution of individual legal problems which may arise while attending school. A p rimary concern of th is service will be to advise students of t heir legal rights under the law, and at the same time function as an educational service for students. The educational development of the program will be carried out through seminars, workshops and publications about frequented legal problems encountered by students. PSGA will fund the service and it will be under the direction of PSGA. An attorney will be available to render legal and referral services. If the complexity of a particular problem excedes the capabilities of the program, additional ser­vices can be arranged for at the clients expense. It would be difficult to an­ticipate all of the specific legal problems that may be en­countered. What follows is a general list of guidelines of the way in which specific problems could be handled by this service. — Prosperity matters; in­cluding tenants problems, relocation, housing and urban development rights and purchase or sale of non - income producing property. — Contract and consumer matters; including review and enforcement of consumer, em­ployment, and insurance con­tracts; matters pertaining to warranties and defective products or services, creditors' and deb­tors' rights, garnishment and other collection matters. — Domestic relations and family law matters; including separation and marriage dissolution actions, child custody and support disputes, adoption proceedings, name changes, and civil commitments*. — Tort defense; including debt and loan payment counseling services that will be available in conjunction with other University student service offices. — Administrative Agency matters; including unem­ployment compensation rights, veterans' and civil service benefits, and Social Security Administration and welfare department hearings at municipal, state, and federal levels. — Employment grievances; when the client has exhausted all appropriate administrative or agency remedies designed to handle such grievances. — Small claims and traffic court matters; including representation proceedings at the discretion of the lawyer assigned to the case. A lawyer will generally not accompany you to small claims or traffic court, since formal representation is discouraged by such courts. — Criminal legal matters; including petty misdemeanors, moving traffic violations and misdemeanors, revocation of parole or probation, and ex-pungent of criminal records in appropriate cases. It may also be determined that a students' particular problem falls outside the schedule of b enefits. If this is the case, the staff will try to help students obtain counsel elsewhere, at the students ex­pense. Those matters excluded from the list of possible services are as follows: — Su its against the University of Wisconsin Parkside, its regents, employees or agents in their representative capacity. — Anti - Trust proceedings. — Income - generated, cor­porate or commercial enterprises, including proceedings relating to the organization to termination of a corporation, partnership, or other forms of business entity, as well as patent, copyrights, trademark, and securities mat­ters; or income generating real -estate matters. — Felony and most gross misdemeanor cases; which will be referred to outside counsel or the public defender's office. — Probate; including proceedings relating to the division of property and money, and the administration of e states, which will be referred to outside counsel. — T ax matters relating to in­come, gift, estate, property, and similar taxes will be services by advice and referral* only. — Service to University Student Organizations will be limited to advice and referral and legal education workshops or seminars. — Pre - existing legal problems defined as these situations in which actual legal causes of ac­tion have accrued and are not of a continuing nature prior to eligibility for services. Because of the difficulty of defining a pre -existing problem, the final determination on accepting a case in which the action may have originated prior to eligibility for service will be left to the professional judgement of the directing attorney. By advising and educating students about legal problems, it is the goal of the Student Legal Service to create a more congenial learning environment on the Parkside campus. "Hopefully by midsemester the legal service will be in full operation," commented Phil Pogreba, President pro tempore of the PSGA senate. "We're shooting for six hours a week; Monday and Wednesday during the day, and Tuesday in tire evening. The reason for that would be to cover the whole spectrum of day and night students." There will be a committee that will aid in the administration of the service. The committee will consist of three senators and two students - at - large. If there are interested students, they may inquire within PSGA. • Insurance program Inside • • • ^ Health Center • Security: Protect your valuables * • Reviews • Women take Ranger Invitational 2 Thursday, September 23,1982 RANGER Editorials Save the animals On October 1, 1982, Congress will make an important decision: whether or not to reauthorize and fund the Endangered Species Act. The ESA was designed to help protect endangered species of fish and wildlife from extinction. Imporation of endangered species into the United States and its protectorates is also forbidden: The ESA is an essential element in the survival of such animals as grizzly bears, whooping cranes, and timber wolves. Unfortunately, any effectiveness it has is dependent upon the funds allocated by Congress. Should reauthorization of the Endangered Species Act fail or should it pass reauthorization without proper funding, it may, in effect, become useless. The lives of innocent animals are at stake in this situation. Mankind has done enough to destroy wild creatures. Support of the Endangered Species Act and adequate funding for it may be one of the only ways in which humans can help them. * "APPARENTLY, JAMES WATT WANTS TO CHANGE OUR STATUS FROM 'ENDANGERED SPECIES' TO 'SERVE ONLY WITH BROCCOLI'". Political affairs forum by Stephen Kalmar II The statewide elections brought few surprises, yet each loser — Republican, Democrat or media -unnoticed "also ran" — found one thing in common. A lack of financial support. Once again, the contemporary political policy: money was praised for victories and blamed in defeat. As the papers reported: "Earl outspends his opponent two to one;" "Lowell Jackson said he suffered from a lack of television exposure in the campaign's closing week, as he was unable to buy enough com­mercial time to counteract Terry Kohler's name recognition;" "Walsh attributed much of his defeat to the relative financial strengths of the two campaigns." What happened to the real issues? Personal image building through media control has become the main concern of contemporary politicians. They are not sensitive to the real problems and opinions of the bulk of the people who can't support them financially. How much of our elected represen­tative's time in office and public money is spent readying for re­election? Democrat or Republican, this is falsely presented as our only choice. The lack of media coverage for independent can­didates is biased support for a prejudiced elections system. The economic system makes people feel that one vote won't make a difference. Big Business is alienating workers from their products, and taking the control of industry away from the individual Bookstore plans to return books to publisher Oct. 5 ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS: The bookstore will return all unsold books to the publisher beginning Oct. 5.

The extent of the individual's influence is determined by the form and organization of society. To un­derstand how to work successfully within the social framework takes the study of many individuals in constant communication. We have a choice, to educate or conform to inactive alienation. Three out of four Wisconsin voters showed the governments of the world that the "people" want nuclear rationality and control. Yet, our own government seems not to trust the voters' opinion. James Rooney called the referendum advisory in nature and not binding. Is that what our vote reflects under the two - party system? A Soviet plan to cut U.S.S.R. missile and bomber force by 25% and U.S. arms by 10% was met with government mistrust and political scorn. Is this the representative opinion of the people or a reflection of an inadequate system of govern­ment? It seems that com­munication is a problem on every level of government. Maybe by taking the time to cast an educated vote November 2, each vote can rule the government instead of the government ruling each vote. Library book sale The Library / Learning Center will hold a book sale on October 5, 6 and 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. outside the entrance of the Library on Level 1. Approximately 1,300 books covering a variety of s ubjects will be included. Most hardcover books will sell for $1.00 and paperbacks for $.25. There also will be a silent auction for several special sets of books. These books have accumulated over a period of time and consist of duplicates, discards and gift items which are not needed for the Library collection, according to Hannelore B. Rader, director of the Library / Learning Center. HOW PRESIDENT REAGAN'S "QUIET DIPLOMACY" FOR DEALING WITH HUMAN RIGHTS OFFENDERS WORKS Financial aid regulations by Edward M. Elmendorf Newspaper, radio, and television reports of substantial cuts in Federal financial aid to college students have triggered a barrage of phone calls to the U.S. Department of Edication in Washington, D.C. Callers, both students and parents, are often confused by misleading or incomplete in­formation. Many have expressed fear that the government has let them down; that college is no longer affordable. It is true that student financial assistance programs have un­dergone considerable change in the past two years. There have been some reductions. Most of the changes, however, reflect an effort to return the aid programs to their original purpose, which was to help students cover the cost of a college education — not to carry the whole burden. A suc­cessful return to original intent will help ensure the survival of these aid programs for future students. Federal financial assistance is divided into three categories: grants, which are awards of money that do not have to be paid back; loans, which are borrowed money which a student must repay with interest; and work -study, which provides the chance to work and earn money to offset college costs while attending classes. The Pell Grant Program is one of the best known erf th e Federal student aid programs. Formerly called the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, Pell is often the first source of aid in a package which may be composed of other Federal and non - Federal sour­ces. In the 1982-83 school year, 2.55 million students share $2,279,040,000 in Pell Grants. The U.S. Department of Education uses a standard for­mula to determine who qualifies for Pell Grants. Students should contact the college financial aid administrator to apply on the free "Application for Federal Student Aid." This is the form used for all Federal student aid programs. The Department guarantees that each participating school will receive the money it needs to pay* Pell Grants to eligible students. The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant provides another mechanism for making awards to students. SEOG is different from the Pell Grant in that it is managed by the financial aid administrator of each par­ticipating college. Each school receives a set amount of money from the Department and when that money is gone, there are no more SEOG funds for the year. In 1982-83 the Department of Education will provide 440,000 students with $278,400,000 in Supplemental Educational Op­portunity Grants. Students will get up to $2,000 a year under this program. Grant programs are designed to help the most needy students get a college education. The Pell Grant, in particular, is targeted to help those students whose families earn less than $12,000 per year. Grant aid is not meant to cover all college costs but is expected to be combined with a reasonable contribution from the student's family and individual self - help, generally in the form of loans, private scholarships, and work. Another type of student financial assistance is the College Work - Study Program. Designed to provide on- or off - campus jobs for undergraduate and graduate students who need financial assistance, Work - Study is usually managed by the college financial aid administrator. Some 950,000 students will receive $528 m illion under this program in 1982-83. A great deal of publicity has been generated lately on Federal student loans, particularly the National Direct Student Loan Program. Although all colleges do not participate in the NDSL program, 3,340 of them do. This program makes available low interest (5 percent) loans that students must begin repaying six months after completing school (either by graduating, leaving, or dropping below half - time status). Up to 10 years is allowed to repay the loan. Application is made to a school's financial aid ad­ministrator, who manages the loan fund. The fund is a revolving account, designed to allow a school to continually make new loans as existing loans are repaid. About 800,000 students will receive NDSLs in 1982-83; 10,000 more than in 1981-82. Recently, Secretary of Education T.H. Bell signed a regulation which provides in­centives for an institution to reduce the default rate of its NDSL program fund. A college which has a default rate over 25 percent is asked to turn respon­sibility for collecting the debt over to the Federal government. If an institution is not prepared to do this, and the default rate remains at 25 percent or more, the Federal government will cut off NDSL funding. The Guaranteed Student Loan Program, much in the news lately, makes available low in­terest loans to students, with the Federal government paying the interest while a student is in school. These loans are made by a lender (such as a bank, credit union, or savings and loan association) and insured by either the Federal government or a State Guarantee Agency. This, the largest student aid program, will make available over $9.5 billion in loans during the 1982-83 school year. Undergraduate students can borrow up to $2,500 a year and graduate students can borrow up to $5,000 under GSL. The total debt an undergraduate can carry is $12,500. For graduate or professional study this figure is Continued On Page Three ganger Pat Hensiak Bob Kiesling Tony Rogers Tammy Shuemate Masood Shafiq Juli Janovicz Andy Buchanan Mike Farrell Jeff Wicks Jolene Torkilsen Maureen Burke, Dowhower, Stephen Kovalic, Rick Luehr Tunkieicz uwparksMa -,hw ara so,"y All corresoondpnre CH« IH"L ,0r repr,nt of a°y portion of RANGER. .
