Parkside dins Freshman applications soar in UW System by Jo hn Kovalic Feature Editor UW-Whitewater i s going to stop accepting all applications from pro­ spective new freshmen after July 1. Administrative sources in White­ water were quoted as saying that applications have risen by ove r 250 as of April 1 since the same time last year. This represents a 10 percent in­ crease in new freshman applica­ tions. At th e same time, the UW-Madi- son campus is expecting a new high in its admissions, having already admitted 9,366 new freshmen by April 1. This is already 7 percent higher than recorded last April. Both Madison and Whitewater set records for enrollment, with 43,- 075 and 10,493 students respectively for the 1983-84 acad emic year. Ste­ vens Point and other UW campuses are experiencing similar increases. The UW System as a whole is al­ ready up 1,000 admissions ov er last year, according to Parkside Assist­ ant Chancellor Carla Stoffle. Total applications to Parkside have fallen from the records set in 1983, dropping from 914 applica­ tions as of April 1 last year to 844, a fall of over 7.5 per cent. Stoffle blames the apparently topsy-turvy fortunes of Parkside on the economy. INSIDE Manning "walks" to Olympic trials Kennedy's private life examined Wind Ensemble, Chamber Singers present concerts PSGA looks for more Senators Parkside group visits Russia "Last year the economy was a lot worse," she said, and students who couldn't afford the cost of living (away from home) chose to stay at home and commute instead. This is why P arkside's enrollment jumped up between 1982 and 1983 . A lo t of Southeastern Wisconsin kids were coming to us." Now that the economy has im­ proved, many students are leaving for campuses further away with dormitory facilities. A Whitewater spokesman was reported on saying that the on-campus housing situa­ tion there is extremely limited and that the university would be un able to insure satisfactory class selec­ tion. Therefore Whitewater was left with little else to do but institute the July 1 cut-off date for freshman applications. "Last year we added classes (when faced with the higher enroll­ ment)," Stoffle said. "We added a PUAB few and filled the others chock- full." "All of the campuses in the sys­ tem have basically th e same policy on admittance," said Stoffle, "but Madison's rejection rate is higher because, for one thing, they receive a lot more out-of-state applica­ tions.". Madison's Chancellor Irving Shain set up a committee to study the possibility of an enrollment limit as well as the effect a tuition increase would have on e nrollment. "We've never limited the num­ ber of applications at Parkside," said Stoffle. "In fact, applications and admittances are still up from two years ago." Applications increased by about 3.5 per cent over this period, rising from 816 to 844. "I think this makes a more ap­ propriate figure for comparison with the other U.W. System (schools)," added Stoffle. Special events guests limited by Je nnie Tunkieicz News E ditor What to do about the guests of Parkside students in regard to spe­ cial events in the Union Square and Rec Center was addressed Monday at the PUAB (Parkside Union Advi­ sory Board) meeting. The committee decided in a prior recommendation to allow all Park- side students use of the Union Square and Rec Center while preventing under-age students from obtaining alcohol by means of iden­ tification. The group also stated in a past recommendation that all stu­ dents may attend any special events sponsored by student organizations, unless the said organization limits the event to students 19 and over. The recommendation approved Monday sta tes that recognized stu­ dent organization sponsored events where alcohol is served will be :pen to aU Parkside students and their guests, but guests must be of the legal drinking age. Guests of Parkside students under the legal drinking age will be refused admit­ tance. The committee discussed wheth­ er or not this recommendation should in clude high school stu dents who t ake classes at Parkside. "Opening up dances to students who are underage bothers me," said Bill Niebuhr, Union Director. Florence Shipek, faculty repre­ sentative, said she feels high school students won't, be much of a prob­ lem. "My experience shows that high school students who are going to college to take extra courses are responsible," she said. A motion also passed stating that any events not sponsored by stu­ dent organizations where alcohol will be served will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Union ad­ ministration, whereby appropriate policies will be determined. This motion was made to ensure that the laws pertaining to drinking will be followed by all groups who use the Union facilities, such as wed­ ding receptions, Gen Con, commu­ nity meetings, etc. PUAB has now finished makfiig recommendations and rationale for the implementation of the new Continued on Page 12 2 Thursday, April 26 ,1984 HANGER 1 Letters to the Editor I Ranger's crime reporting welcome To the Editor: I would be glad to see more of this type of reporting of crime on campus. (Editor's note: Media Services theft story in April 12 issue). I feel that students have a right to know what is going on around this campus. According to your last article, if you steal something on this cam­ pus, your police record will be ex­ punged if i t is your first offense or (if you are) under the age of 21. Boy, now you can steal and get away with it. Are we open to this kind of justice? All I can say is — k eep up the good work, Ranger, and keep the students at Parkside well informed of other thefts. Paul Johnson PSGA Vice President P.S. How about a story of theft right here in o ur own library? How about the destruction of p roperty in the library? How about the eating and drinking in the library? How about the students who leave trash in the hall and we all have to look at it all day long? Students should be more considerate To the Editor: I would like to address this letter to the people in "The Office" in Greenquist. 1 hope you have more consideration for your fellow stu­ dents and clean up your mess at day's end instead of leaving it for someone else to do. I hope you don't live at home like that, leaving paper and dishes sitting around. I am glad you have your little group, but please clean up your mess. I would like to address this part to the people who live in the li­ brary. I have just as much right as you d o to use the library to study. I don't believe that either one of us has a right to destroy anything that is in the library. The typewriters and their coin boxes are there to use, not destroy. The chairs are to sit in, not to fight with. The bath­ rooms are there to use, not for you to destroy. The rules were made so that every student could use the li­ brary, and the sign that says "No smoking, eating or drinking" is there for a purpose, not for you to say, "It doesn't apply to me."

V PSGA looks to fill up 18-seat Senate by Ken Meyer Editor New Parkside Student Govern­ ment Association (PSGA) Senate Pro Tempore Joe Vignieri is seek­ ing to fill the five vacant seats in the 18-seat Senate. "I am going to actively recruit," said Vignieri, who was elected Pro Tempore three weeks ago. "There's 6000 s tudents and only five seats open. There must be interested, qualified students out there." Vignieri says the process of be­ coming a PSGA Senator is not a difficult one. A potential Senator should inform the Pro Tempore or the PSGA Vice President, and the Senate votes to appoint the person to a two-week internship. A student may also be appointed to an intern­ ship by two Senators. An internship consists of address­ ing a topic that affects the PSGA Senate or is Parkside-related. Vig­ nieri said, "The emphasis is on a report that will aid the Senate in some way, but we won't deny stu­ dents who have a strong interest in another area of the university." Vignieri said when he interned in the Senate, his report addressed the membership problem of th e Senate. Other possible topics, he said, in­ clude the minority retention pro­ gram and whether or not a student Code of Ethics is necessary. Since writing a report is required of an intern, Vignieri admits it is extra work. "If they're unsure if they'll have the time to be a Sena­ tor, it's hard to ask for more work (right away)." He said he compiled his report in two weeks working a total of about six hours. Senators are required to put in at least three office hours a week and be on at least one PSGA commit­ tee. One point that Vignieri mentions is that past PSGA Senators will probably have their two-week in­ ternship waived if they wish to re­ join the Senate. Vignieri rejoined the Senate recently after his unsuc­ cessful bid for the vice presidency in March. Vignieri realizes that some stu­ dents may want to wait until the fall elections to join the Senate in order to avoid the internship. He said that many students do not have any spare time with their cur­ rent schedules, many students work and Parkside has a non-traditional student body. AU of the five vacant Senate seats are fall seats; nine seats are elelcted each semester. Whoever in­ terns in the Senate now will have to run for reelection in the fall. But, said Vignieri, "anybody get­ ting in right now will get benefits," because the Senate meets monthly over the summer, so new Senators will spend less time while getting the experience. "We (have had) problems in the past in student government, but now we have a new, young, active Senate addressing the issues on campus," said Vignieri. Any student wishing to join the Senate, said Vignieri, "should see me and I will help them." Interes­ ted students should stop in the PSGA office, WLLD D139.
