Inc. SeDate meeting on Friday, Oct. 8. Tony Earl, democratic candidate ftl' Go\'eI'IIor,was represented by GoDe Well. Weil clarified some of tile stands Earl has taken on certaiD issues. Also at the meeting .11 Republican Congressional C8Dd1date, Pete Jansson. Jansson Is nmnillllllllllinst Les Aspin. One r1 the issues Gene Wei! addressed for Earl was his stand .. seJective enrollment and ad- miMlOJII tests. Phil Pogreba, PresldeIlt Pro Tempore of the SeDate questioned whether or not lllective enrollment was a way wIieb Earl thought the UW budget CllUId be kept down. Well responded, "I don't think be leeIs you can just set down ....... Ions standards and say ... people are in, these people II1II'1. Unless you start with basic *Ills pl'OBJ'8ms lower down in ... bigb and high school, you lU't just come up with some IqINp8I'ed place. Once you've JI'IIUed tIIese people in secon- ...,. education, maybe then you .. sIMt selling an admission 1DIIIIIrd. tt ... commented in return, ""I'IIat's what the problem is. te're spending money twice. We're spelll\lng money on people III P1blic sciiools, to get an "lion which they don't really Ill, and then they come to college .. !bey have to take very low IInI e:cunes to get the knowledge lIIey sbouId have gotten in high 1dIooI:' "1 think," continued WeB "We're talking about a time whe~ the quality of education at least for sure on the Madison campus and I'm sure it's the same way here and within tlie system, has prelly much so plummetted since '72. They're spending less and less money per student and 1 think a lot of people are looking at that as a way to increase quality, and just . save some money. It's certainly not an answer in itself. It (ad- mission standards) will have to be started at the high school level " concluded Wei!. I Weil also pointed out that a large student voter turnout is something which would allow students to tap into the governor's r1fice. "If a large number of students turn out, we'll be able to say 'Hey look, all of tbese students turned out to support you, they voted, you owe us something.' Tony Earl is someone who will listen. " The other candidate to make an appearance at this meeting was Republican Congressional Can- didate, Pete Jansson. Jansson started with an explanation for running for Congress. "I'm running for congress because in a very significant sense 1 believe that in 1982 we're going to make a decision between two directions. One which 1 think can fairly be described as one of opportunity, and the other can be fairly described as despair. That sounds like a prelly big choice, but 1 believe that fairly characterizes the two different directions this country can take. 1 think that 1982 is a particularly critical election.

He is active in bre.ld~g and updating the ~te o~ knowledge and skiIIs programs. At the State level he is planning on working to increase financial aid for students, and the UW System budget. He is currently Assistant President Pro Tempore of the senate, and sits on five faculty committees. He said that he would like to see "SOC getting on its feet and gelling leadership that will work actively with tbe Senate and executive board. II Buenker - Phillips will "con- tinue addressing student issues, specifically those dealing with women," if she is re - elected. She is Parkside's Women's Affairs Director in the United Council, and chairperson of Parkside's Women's Affairs subcommittee. Pogreba is currently President Pro Tempore of the Senate. He said the first thing he would do if . re -elected would be to try to get a position on SUFAC. He said, "I feel this is a very important committee which requires a great deal of responsibility." He feels he is "qualified for the seat of Senator in PSGA because of my knowledge and experience in the overall governance of Parkside. I am also familiar with the procedures and red tape one may encounter when trying to get something done," he said. The same questions were ad- dressed by each candidate in a questionnaire provided by Ranger to give adequate coverage to each candidate. All the candidates urged students to get out and v~e in the election next week. Jansson also pointed out that the other thing this out pouring of federal involvement did was to kill our economy. This happened because of deficit spending. The poople who got their cost of living adjustments were the people wtrking. Jansson said the solution to this is " a little injection ~ tax relief. 1 think we can do better in addressing human need if we provide the kind of healthy economic environment that is going to be provided by a moderated tax rate. People are quick to admit that raising taxes isgcIng to hurt things. They should also recognize that if you modenlte taxes you're going to help things. A lot r1 poople aren't making that connection this year." Jansson did introduce his new Employment Insentive Program to the Senate. To receive unem- ployment compensation, people need to be turned down for work. H a worker was making $9.75, his take lxme pay would be m2 per week. If he gets laid off, and takes unemployment benefits, be could receive $t91. If this same worker is then offered a job at $7 an hour, he has the right to lunI it cIowD, and stay on the benefit. Ja_ feels that $7 an hour lob is _ turned dawn becauae the take home pay would CIIIiy be $2Z7 a week. That isn't that much more that $191. One way to interact the disln- sentive to a $7 an hour job would be the elimination from federal withholding tax. For tbe remaining period the worker was to receive benefits, the worker would not have to pay federal withholding tax. The $7 an bour job, excluding federal withholdings, would increase the take lxme pay to $251. Jansson feels that this would be a sub- stantial additional insentive. While some people would still turn jobs down, some would take them. "It wouldn't cost the gov ern- ment a lot of money if this worker wasn't gcIng to work anyways. So, if be goes to work sooner, he saves the government unemployment compensation. The lost tax revenue would be minor The savings m unemployment com, pensation would more than overwhelm the lost federal revenue." Jansson's closing comments were this, "I think it's very lm- portant that we have a congressman in this district who's got some new ideas, who's got some ideas that will help solve unemployment. This is no cure for unemployment, but it's important that we have some new ideas that wiD address the JrOblem." Ratner finalist for new position human need. In '58, there was about 23 percent of this country's population below the poverty level. By '68, that had fallen down to 13percent. Jansson pointed out this was a result of progress in solving human need. People took jobs. People who were once below the poverty line were now above it. "Real income was up," said Jansson. "Productivity was up, things were hopeful, things were enlarging, things were getting better. The Kenoedy tax cut in 1962 fired yea rs of real solid growth in the economy. New jobs, expansion, and all without In- flation." After 1968, Janssoo said that the out pouring of fed..-al dollars seems to have stopped, for a variety of programs. The proportion of population below the poverty level has not dropped off much since '68. "This is tragic, II continued Jansson. "It's taken a great d.. l of our money to make very liltle progress. This out pouring of federal dollars for a variety of well meaning programs during this period only achieved two things. A fJIty first state was established, one of perpetual poverty, where poople who are in need are locked into poverty. Furthermore, during this period, we've fallen back: in areas of importance. The gap between white and black income has widened, not narrowed. One has to wonder if it was worth all the money we spent." PETE JANSSON speaks at the Senate meeting . because for the last fJIteen years or more, the country has been dominated by political forces whose viEWS and whose policies have intruded severely into our economic future. I think in 1980 we did make a decision as a free people to move in a different direction. I think there's a tremendous bailie going on right now in Washington as to whether we stay on a course in the new direction, or whether we will turn back to that which is old, to that wliich has failed, and to tha t which offers little real opportunity for people. " Jansson described the prohlem he sees to be that over the past 25 years, it would be possible to divide this period into halves roughly around 1968. In 1968, according to Jansson, the dominance of the federal government in our lives in solving our social problems was very minor. Social problems at that time were addressed at different levels and more successfully than they have been since. Since '68, we have had a propunderance of federal involvement in all kinds of programs. His point being to compare the United States' performance as a country and as an economy during the two perinds. Jansson surfaced the point that during the ten years before 1968, this country had a tremendous growth in economy_ There was a tremendous growth against by Bob Kiesling News Editor Vice Chancellor Lorman Ratner has been listed as one of five finalists for the Presidency of Western Washington State University in Bellingham. Although the vice chancellor said there were "Iong odds" on his being named President, he will be going to Western Washington sometime next month to be in~ terviewed and to more fully in- vestigate the possibility of ap- pointment. Ratner vcICed no unhappiness with his six years at Parkside, but stated that he was int..-ested in the possibility r1 advancing his career. He said tha t Western ~ashington is the same type of high quality public uni..... ity .. as Parkside. Ratner came to Parkside in the summer of 1977 from Lehman College r1 the City University of New York, where be was a Dean. He added that several persons a round the country had recom- mended bim to Western Washington. .., am, of course, Oattered to be a finalist in their search," Ratner said.

Risley My Dear Reverend Risley: Enclosed for your attention are two media communications (The Journal Times, OCtober 5, 1982 and ~nger, OCtober 7, 1982) which reflect my very real c0n- cern regarding the more egregious aspects of your conduct ooring your recent engagement at Racine's Memorial Hall. Be .. ured d my sincere wish that upoo mature reflection you wiD come forward openly in genuine pl!llitence to repudiate the re\IgIouI prejudice Implicit in your recent statements relaUve to the symbols d two major world rellgiClll8,Islam and Judaism. Satan is a hard master; one cannot serve both God and Mammon. In your reading d the Old Testament prophets and the gospels may yoo come to see that a philOlOphy of sbartog (even 01 socialism) - I refer here to your recent remarks concerning the mission of the late Jobn Lennon - is not incompatible with religion or the teachings d Christ. I hope lha t you will in time ootgrow your childish intolerance, your monstrous pride, and that you wiDyet harken to the Voice of that awful God which spoke to Job, even out of the Whirlwind. Y 00 wiD be freed d the burden d the Monkey of Bigotry when you conquer your obsession with Principalities and Powers, with Satanic Agents and Diabolical FCB"CeS,and come to realize - as did Sl. Gore Vidal - that the univ.... e is not malign, only neutral, and that all men (within the logic of your theology) are the Children of God. The road to salvation is hard, and there are many perils and reversals, but lake heart and be of good cheer that at the end d your days you will be able to say in your heart, "Though my errors were many and grievous, I have at last overcome, I have fooghtthe good fight." In my own way I I pray for your recovery. It has been painful for me to have known the necessity to so publicly excoriate a fellow creature.

YCII have a right to voice your opioiOlL by Pat Hensiak Editor It certainly has been an eventful week around the campus. Can- didates for governor and congress made appearances, we found out what people really think P.S.G.A . and P AB stand for, and also found out who is planning to run in our own Parkside Senatorial Elec- tions. Don't forget to go out and vote next Wednesday and Thursday. These are the people who represent the sludents on this campus, and it is important to find people who are qualified and patient to do the job. Don't think your vote doesn't matter, it really is a time to voice your opinion not only as people, but as students. If we don't speak up, no one will do it for us. This week marks the in- troduction of a new columnist-on the Ranger staff. Well, actually he's not new. He worked fo; Ranger a few years ago, and now he's back. Bruce Preston is going to write a different kind of column. He isn't going to find out about the people we already know about. He's going to go a step further to meet the student who isn't as well known, or heard from as much. Could be a good op- portunity to get to learn about some of the people you've seen around campus. I have also been asked to point out that P.S.G.A. does not really stand for People Singing Great Anthems. Nor does PAB stand for Priests and Bishops. P.S.G.A. is rever easy. But be convinced that I have done what I have done for the good of your soul in the hope tha t 10 good time - with the support and guidance of the brethren - you will lake counsel with your better instincts and proc.eed thenceforth along that straight and n~ITow way which is right, eschewmg the antiCipa ted dehghts of that high road to Vanity Fair (which is right _ wmg). .

Many d. them Responding to violence is essential An Editorial Comment by Bertrand Simpson, Minority Affairs Director for United Council Acts of violence that are per- petrated against any student in the UW system should be deplored by all of us. It is my strong feeling that whenever the physical safety of any student is threatened coordina ted action by student government is an essential part of any meaningful response. More to the point each in- dividual campus' student association should be in the forefront of any reaction to VIolence against our students. In recent memory two UW _ system campuses have been sites of violent acts against minority . students. At UW-Stout and UW- Stevens Point certain individuals struck out at members of the student family. To put it plainly, severa'! students suffered injuries and one was kIlled for, apparently, no othe~,reason otber than they were ~~ wrong color" and in the wrong place." At Slevens Point the student government reacted in a positive manner. Because of the in- volvement of tbe UW-Stevens POInts. student government com.mlt.tees were formed in. vesllgallons were made h ' . be l ' eaflngs were. d, and reports were med This .action did not, by any means, erase the effects of tbI harm done. However, such aclilll does indicate a willingness Ie respond when necessary to eos1l1't the safety of all' students. I must mention that I nave .. knowledge of how UW-S t . out responded to a similar situatilll.
