UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document W University of Wisconsin - Parkside Panel discussion soc New guidelines clarify issues by Bob Kiesling News Editor New guidelines for SOC were passed by the PSGA Senate at their Oct. 22 meeting. The new guidelines are considered a significant improvement over the old rules because they include a revised budgeting procedure for organizations on campus, job descriptions for the chair and vice - chair, and removal from office procedures. The main problem with the old guidelines was that there was inadequate documentation; new rules were being added as needed and not being kept track of. It was felt that SOC required more specific guidelines in view of the fact that they did not seem to be accomplishing their objectives. "The main reason was that the guidelines were ambiguous," said PSGA vice - president Chuck Betz. Betz also cited a lack of job descriptions for the chairman and vice - chairman of SOC. It is a Student Life policy that all paid student organization positions have duties described in the organization's constitution. The Budget and Review Committee also got a revised set of procedures. The Committee, which allocates SOC funds to individual clubs, now has a specific set of rules and membership criteria. The BRC rules were revised because it "just wasn't working," according to Betz. The new guidelines state: "The Student Organization Council is a standing committee of PSGA, Inc. The purpose of the standing Budgets were due committee is to promote communication and support for all clubs on campus. Through discussions on fund - raising, program co - sponsorship^ organizational workshops and inter - group communication, the Student Organizations Council helps to create an opportunity to enhance the learning experience for the students at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside." The guidelines require SOC to meet at least four times during the semester and at least once a month during the summer. It gives guidelines for membership in SOC, and calls for the president erf each club, or a designated representative, to attend all meetings, and that each club representative has three "ex­cused" absences allowed them On Wednesday, November 10, from 12-2 p.m., the Sexual Harassment Advisory Committee will sponsor a panel discussion in the Union Bazaar to explore some of the aspects of sexual harassment. Joanne Zywicki, an alumna of Parkside, from Racine, will talk about sexual harassment from an employees' view, and about the identification of sexual harassment. "I will address the what, who, when, how and why," said Zywicki. "What it is, who does it, when it's done, how it's done, and why it's done. There is very little understanding about why it is done," commented Zywicki. Wayne Johnson, a professor here at Parkside will speak about the socialization of men — why men do the things they do, and how they have grown into their habits. The committee also expects to have a lawyer present to discuss the legal ramifications of sexual harassment. After the speakers have given their presentations, the audience will be given the opportunity to ask questions relating to sexual harassment. The committee urges everyone to attend and learn about this "difficult to talk about" subject. Both before and after the panel discussion, any interested persons can view the movie WORKPLACE HUSTLE. The movie will be shown before the discussion at 11 and 11:30 a.m., and again after the discussion, at 2 and 2:30 p.m. each semester. An absence is considered ex­cused when the chairman of SOC has been notified at least 48 hours prior to the meeting, in writing. Each unexcused absence by a club results in a five percent decrease in that club's budget. Also, the guidelines state that a quorum consists of a simple majority of members, rather than two thirds of the SOC body being present. The removal from office procedures state that impeachment of either chair or vice chair requires a two thirds vote by the SOC membership before the PSGA Senate can initiate im­peachment proceedings. The trial is held one week from the date the motion is passed. Since SOC is a standing committee of PSGA, the guidelines state that: "The Student Organizations Council shall create rules and guidelines for its governance in accordance with the PSGA, Inc. Constitution and PSGA, Inc. Senate Rules. The PSGA, Inc. Senate shall have final approval of any guidelines and rules proposed by the Student Organizations Council." by Bob Kiesling News Editor With the budgets due last Tuesday, Nov. 2, both PSGA and SOC held several emergency meetings to complete their proposals in time. PAB, on the other hand, was granted a favorable ruling by the judicial branch to change their budgeting format to include the Performing Arts and Lectures committee budget in their own. Even so, PAB had two separate budget proposals ready in the event that PAL was to be budgeted separately. The Justices ruled that it was not within the PSGA Senate's authority to determine PAB's budgeting procedures. The PSGA Senate came into conflict with the Executive branch over their budget proposal. The initial proposal, drafted by president Jim Kreuser, called for a 30 percent increase in both the president's and vice president's salaries, and a 518 percent in­crease in the PSGA secretary's salary. In addition, $275 has been requested to fund the Dialogue, the PSGA newsletter. Both the initial and alternate budgets in­clude $5,000 to fund the new Public Employee Day set Monday, Nov. 8, has been proclaimed Public Employee Day in Wisconsin, thanks to efforts by the Wisconsin State Employees Union. The union, part of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AF-SCME), approached Gov. Lee Sherman Dreyfus with the idea and he initiated the proclamation designating the day to recognize the efforts of public employees in Wisconsin. The AFSCME Council 24 Local 2180 at UW - Parkside met with Chancellor Alan E. Guskin who then issued a similar proclamation designating Nov. 8 as Public Employee Day at UW-P. The proclamation reads: WHEREAS, at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside, public employees with a wide variety of Continued On Page Three Student Legal Service. The alternative budget, passed unanimously in an emergency meeting Monday morning and approved by Kreuser that af­ternoon, limits both the president's and vice president's salaries to a 20 percent increase. The PSGA secretary will receive a 50 percent salary increase. The PSGA approved 1983-84 budget for PSGA is triple this year's budget, an increase from $6,863 to $19,492 for next year's request. The largest single item on the 1982-83 request is funding for the student Legal Service, for which the Senate is asking $5,000 in new allocations. PSGA's rationale for the legal service budget reads: "Since the service is currently going through the bidding process, it would be very difficult to Continued On Page Four Pulitzer winner to speak here Douglas Hofstadter, whose book "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" won a Pulitzer prize in 1980, will be the first Honors Program Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Parkside. Students involved in the honors program are participating this semester in a series titled "Ex­plaining Things" which has featured a series of guest lec­turers. The Honors Program is directed by Prof. Lee Thayer, who is coordinating arrangements for Hofstadter's visit. Hofstadter, 36, a professor of computer science at Indiana University - Bloomington, will be on the UW-Parkside campus Nov. 15 - 17 for a series of programs both for students and the general public. Hofstadter's "formal" fields are mathematics, artificial in­telligence and computer sciences, but his interests are much broader, including linguistics, psychology, art, music, philosophy, biology, physics and the human sciences in general. His most recent book is "The Mind's I,' which brings together a number of writings on mind and brain, self and soul, identity and Business students Advising offered by Pat Hensiak Editor Peer Support, in conjunction with the Business Clubs, including PSE, Women in Business, and Accounting Club will again sponsor Student to Student Ad­vising during the regular advising period. This is the third year that this type of advising is being of­fered. Close to 1000 students have declared Business as their area of interest. Ilene Levin is the Coordinator of Business and Administrative Science here at Parkside and she advises all the Business Area of Interest Students. In the time set aside before registration, it is an ex­tensive task to give all of those students the time they may require for advising about their schedule. For that reason, student to student advising has been made available for the Business students. Before a business student declares a major, they must first complete the pre - business core courses and by the time students are juniors they should have completed all the general requirements, the Breadth of Knowledge, Collegiate Skills, and then they can declare the major and a specialty. After declaring the major they are assigned a different faculty advisor than Levin. Student to Student advising allows Juniors and Seniors to help Freshmen and Sophomores make some decisions about their scheduling. Levin commented, "What we're hoping for, with this student to student advising is that freshmen and sophomores can talk with juniors and seniors and realize some of the particular problems that I may not be able to respond to. Juniors and Seniors have recently been through the program, and they'll be a great help." Levin also pointed out that sometimes the people who need the most help are the ones who don't seek it. If the students doing the advising know someone is having trouble, they can direct that student to Levin. "I hope the student to student advising is a success," concluded Levin. "I've often felt that the grapevine is the most helpful way of finding things out." DOUGLAS HOFSTADTER consciousness, free will and determinism, along with a commentary by Hofstadter and philosopher Daniel Dennett. Hofstadter also writes a monthly column called "Metamagical Themas" for Scientific American. Hofstadter's major public address will be an Honors Program Lecture on "Imagining Mind" at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 17 in Molinaro Hall, Room 105. All of Hofstadter's campuses appearances are open to the public. Reservations are required only for a reception, dinner and informal discussion sponsored by the Parkside Philosophical Society at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 16, and can be made by contacting Prof. Aaron Snyder (Phone 553-2319). The remainder of Hofstadter's schedule is: Monday, Nov. 15: A talk on communication theory and research at 10 a.m. (location to be announced); a Social Science Roundtable session on "Sexism and Language" at 11:45 a.m. in Union Room 104; and a Mathematics / Computer Science reception at 3 p.m. in Molinaro Hall, Room 111 and colloquium at 3:30 p.m. in Molinaro 107. Tuesday, Nov. 16: A session with the Parkside Computer Club at 8:30 a.m. in Molinaro Room 113; an Honors Seminar on "Imagination" at 11 a.m. in Communication Arts Building Room 128; an informal Art Faculty / Student Roundtable at 1:30 p.m. in Communication Arts 233; and an Honors Seminar on "Explaining Things" at 3:30 p.m. in Communication Arts 132. Wednesday, Nov. 17: A break­fast session with music faculty and students from 7:45 to 9:45 a.m. in the Union cafeteria; a Psychology Colloquium at 9 a.m. (location to be announced); and a Women's Studies Seminar on "Sexism and Language" at 3 p.m. in Molinaro Room 111. A bit of nostalgia A limited number of tickets still remain for Tintypes, the hit musical which will appear at Parkside Sunday, Nov. 7, as the second event in the 1982-83 Accent on Enrichment Series. Ticket information about the musical review which celebrates America at the turn of the century is available at the Union In­formation Center (553-2345) from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, until 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All seats are reserved. Tintypes audiences relive the gentle days of a bygone era through nearly 50 songs and dances. The Broadway hit features the music of such favorite American composers as George M. Cohen, Scott Joplin and John Philip Sousa. Conceived by Mary Kyte, Mel Marvin and Gary Pearle, Tin­types has been described as a scrapbook of nostalgia which recreates images of historical figures such as Teddy Roosevelt and Emma Goldman, as well as mythical characters. Their stories, coupled with the music of the period, evoke a period of time that is often referred to as the last gasp of America's innocence — the years that bridge the 19th and 20th centuries. Nominated for two Tony Awards including best musical, Tintypes has been a major success in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The company which will appear at Parkside is currently on a 30 - week national tour and has just concluded a two -week engagement in Kansas City. Thursday, November 4,1982 RANGER Editorial Orphan Drug Bill must pass Elections are over. The congressmen are in. Lately it seems that everyone has felt the economic squeeze at some level. Everyone is ready to get back on their feet. Raising the standard of living is something we all strive for in some way. In a time when we are spending billions on a defense system, for the good of this country, perhaps it is time we spend a solid amount of money for the good of the people within this country. On November 29, the Orphan Drug Bill will be coming before Congress. The purpose of the bill is to supplement drug companies in the research and develop­ment of drugs for unpopular, unprofitable sickness and disease. It's easy to see someone stricken with a disease like Tourette Syndrome and feel sorry for them. These people search for a touch of what many of us consider normal everyday living. The drug needed to bring Tourette Syndrome to a sense of control is an orphan drug. Without this bill, these people may never find that control. It's easy to stand and feel sorry for someone. Instead of doing that, take ten or fifteen minutes and write a letter to your congressman urging the acceptance of this Orphan Drug Bill. You will probably feel better after you've done it, and maybe some of the emotional and physical pain that the people in need of these medications feel, would be eliminated. MMMMM Letters to the editor To Life To the Editor: I have been in the position for some time now to watch a family handle the real life situation of their father whom has the muscle disorder ALS, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. The muscle deterioration of this afflicted person is to the point now where swallowing and breathing are becoming increasingly dif­ficult, even life - threatening. The family is, for all practical pur­poses, this man's life support system! One possible course of action for this family could have been to shy away from the situation, acting as if it did not exist, declining to accept the responsibility which accompanies an unexpected event such as this. In doing that, however, the family members would have been proving that they cared more about how this situation would affecf them, possibly 'cramping their lifestyle,' than about the person who was literally afflicted. This would seem to be the easiest way to handle the situation, and it is the way that most people do choose to handle it. That is sad, for in sending flowers and cards we forget the most important ingredient — ourselves. In not wishing to face the bare edge of life and death, people choose to pass up what could prove to be the most extraordinary growing experience of a lifetime. It is a perception enricher and value changer. It breathes new insight and vitality into weary eyes and minds. Still, most will choose to pass on the opportunity, as any hospice or nursing home volunteer or worker could tell you. But for those fortunate few, however, who choose to meet the challenge of these sometimes disspiriting situations, and who do not want anything more than to give, the rewards are a fresh and powerful appreciation of life! Much of the determination as to how we react in situations similar to the one that I described depends on how we prioritize. That is, what in life we rate most important, and what we are afraid to place importance on. A1 Einstein once said that he never did belong to anything with his whole heart. What I believe he meant was that once you surrender your heart to any one thing, you lose sight and perspective about the total picture of life. Our actions are a direct consequence of our attitudes, that is, we act out our thoughts. How we see the world is reflected in how we act towards the world and in it. Herein lies the importance and ramifications of prioritizing. Once we examine the world, especially living things, and see beyond the initial 'noise' en­countered, we no longer are overwhelmed by the complexity of the intricate games we whole­heartedly participate in. We begin to perceive, beyond the superficial images we have of different cultures, environments, and the like, and see that all peoples are all basically alike. Our perceptive capabilities become more sen­sitive. We begin to cast aside the nonsense that we make too real and take too seriously, things such as hero - worship, putting up of 'fronts,' and all other kinds of selfish needs and deeds. With this new type of self - examination it becomes clear that how we use, define, and view ourselves is the exact model by which we deal with the world around us. One must always use this self -examination if one wishes to see the world through honest, open eyes rather than having a clouded vision. But only if you wish. If you disagree with this, then you basically believe that people do things, all things, because they do not want to do them. Bringing this all back to the family and the man with ALS, we can see them living and growing with this real situation, to pinnacles of appreciation and reverence for life that too few ever attain. A person gains new perspective on what does and does not belong to you, on what, as human beings, we have rights or no rights to meddle with, on love, Continued On Page Six Poor, Poor John To the Editors: Sirs: It is with great interest that I have read the current debate in your letter column concerning the works of your Mr. John Kovalic, but is only now that I have decided to become an active participant. I refer to last week's "New Music" article. I must take ex­ception to one statement therein. And I quote: "But when (Wendy 0. Williams is) built like a paraplegic elephant ..." I am a paraplegic elephant. I can find no so - called "Humor" in his remark and consider it an insult not only to paraplegic elephants in general, but to the animal kingdom as a whole. Does Mr. Kovalic think it is funny being a paraplegic elephant? I have been one for twenty - six years now and, frankly, I find his "humor" to be in very bad taste as well as being callous, cruel, and very, very nasty. To poke humor at unfortunates such as us only in order to get a cheap laugh is unbelievable enough, but it is particularly ill -timed when so many people and species are making strides to create equal opportunities for disabled pachyderms. What will his next article be on? Clubbing baby seals? Sincerely, Jacob Alek Active participation To the Editor: Have you ever had a professor at Parkside who you felt was "WELL, SCOTT, IT WASN'T ALL FOR NOTHING. SENATOR PROXMIRE HAS GIVEN ME A JOB ON HIS OFFICE STAFF." Editor's notes November brings more than chill by Pat Hensiak Editor The month of October was a lot of fun. Halloween this past weekend was an interesting one. During the trick or treat time, the children were sparse, but still cleverly dressed. Very easy to enjoy. Halloween also marks the end of October, which means most of us who haven't yet experienced mid - terms will soon do so. Mid -terms can be a traumatic ex­perience, but at the same rate they can lend a sense of relief. We've made it halfway through the semester. Before we know it we'll be looking for Christmas gifts in crowds of many. November brings with it more than a chill in the air. Activities on campus are moving right along. On November 10, the Sexual Harassment Advisory Committee will sponsor a panel discussion offering insight into aspects of sexual harassment. Many people have misconceptions about sexual harassment, its forms, its causes and its cures. It wouldn't hurt to attend the discussion and ask some questions. You may learn something that will help you throughout the rest of your life. The discussion will be held in the Union Bazaar area from 12-2 p.m. There's also another Accent on Enrichment performance this weekend. Sunday, November 7 marks the appearance of the Broadway Musical "Tintypes." If you think you would like to attend, find a friend to go along and do it. It will probably be a lot of fun for both you and your friend. The editorial this week speaks out on the passing of the Orphan Drug Bill. The vote will be made on November 29. To some the bill would serve no purpose, but for many it will serve the purpose of control. Some people have no idea what it's like to live the way "normal" people do. It doesn't seem fair that because the medication they need to gain control won't make a profit, the drug is very rarely explored. Take fifteen minutes of your time to help make someone elses life a little more bearable. Maybe the result won't affect you directly today, but that's not saying it never will. Coming up this month for all of the Business Area of Interest students, is Student to Student Advising. The advising program was set up the way it is, to make registration easier and less time consuming for the freshman and junior Business Majors. Take advantage of the opportunity to save time and trouble, find out when and where student advising will be available if you are a business major. It will be easier in the long run. It's nice to report that people have been submitting a lot of excellent creative writing pieces. We haven't had a lot of room these past few weeks, but don't give up hope. We haven't stopped printing yet. Keep them coming in. Hopefully the necessary space will turn up very soon. Above aU, don't lose heart in your semester activities and classes yet. If you've been doing poorly, you have half a semester to make it up. If you're sick of school, there's only half a semester left. exceptional and was denied renewal or tenure?? Were you angry when this happened??? If so, and if you felt it was unfair for students to lose a professor who was an excellent instructor, then you will be interested in helping us in trying to insure the renewal of Professor Seybold. Professor Seybold will appear before members of the Behavioral Science Division in an open renewal hearing. We strongly encourage students to show their support for Peter by taking part in this hearing. We, as students of Parkside, have the right and obligation of making our own preferences known. The hearing will be held Saturday, November 13 at 10 a.m in Moln. 324. Please place this event as a top priority on your calendar for November 13, and show your support for student participation in this open hearing procedure. Students for Active Par­ticipation of Renewal and Tenure, Marie Marten and Maria Veronico Positive response Dear Editor: The Racine YWCA participated in the Women's Resource Day at UW - Parkside yesterday, October 27, and we were impressed with the efficiency and friendliness of the people involved in putting such an event together. Jeanne Phillips, Student Council Senator, and Chuck Betz should be commended on their courtesy and helpfulness. They carried materials for us and made us feel welcome and comfortable with our surroundings. The day was a very positive experience for us, and we want to thank Student Council, the Ranger, and all the other organizations who sponsored the event. Sincerely, Barbara R. Kroupa Membership Director Gloria Gonzales Women s Services Director Thank you The Parkside Activities Board would like to thank all those who attended the dance we held this past Friday night featuring "Tomboy."
