TSR spokesman Philip Grisolia saidthere are a number of reasons for the move, but the convention probably would have been moved inthe next several years because of its size. Last year Gen Con atracted 8,600 participants during a four day pe- ]iod in August, and this year's at- tendnance is estimated to be 12-15,- 000. The move will cost the Parkside Unionaboout $10,000 in profits this year, which will compound the fi- nancial troubles the union has been having this year. "Last year's convention was the biggest we ever had and it was crowded," Grisolia said. "The Parkside Union facility, as nice as it is, and as pleasant as the administration is... If the convention is to grow, it's got to find a bigger house," he said. Grisolia said TSR was planning to hold the convention at Parkside this year. but another convention in Kenosha had booked 600 botel rooms. The company proposed holding the convention the week before, but that weekend is during summer school. Parkside's admin-· istration offered to change the sum- mer school schedule, but by that time the company decided to hold the convention at MECCA. Union Director Bill Neibuhr said the Union made about $10,000 from the convention last year. Combined with the drop in enrollment this year and a drop in alcohol sales, the convention's loss is expected to compound the loss of revenue by the Union this year. "It's like starting off the year with that kind of loss to make up," he said. He said, however, that the Union is not considering cuts in services yet, because many of the cuts would not save money.

"I don't thnk there are any real essay answers," he said. "I can't see any way student fees aren't going to go up." Grisolia said that among the rea- sons for MECCA's. selection is the proximity to the lake and that the hall can hold about 200 booths, about twice the exhibitors the Phy Ed building can hold. Grisolia said TSR can fill those booths. MECCA also is air conditioned, which be said participants list as an important factor. Even though the revenue from the convention is not budgeted by the Union, Niebuhr said, the Union has gotten used to getting the money, "When Gen Con came here it was mucb smaller and it was only in the last few years that the reve- Due generated was really signiti- cant," Niebuhr said, And the winner is...

On-campus housing possible by Pat Hensiak Campus News Editor By 1986, Parkside may be break- ing ground for on-campus student housing. Parkside is the only four year system campus which does not have on-campus housing. Tom Krimmel, Director of De- velopment and Alumni Affairs, authored a draft proposal concern- ing the possibility of developing on- campus housing. Krimmel said he is looking at the educational benefits for on-campus bousing, which is wby he developed the proposal. He said that the pro- posal is in a very priliminary stage at this point, and will go through major reworking before being presented to UW-System admin- istration. On-campus housing would solve several students' transportation problems, as well as provide stu- dents with a "collegiate living /learning environment by living away from home" stated the ration- ale/proposal. . Racine YMCA, which currently houses 85 students in a donn style arrangement, is Parkside's only bousing facility. The disadvantage of the YMCA Is that it is seven miles away !rom campus. The only link between the students and cam- pus is the Racine Bus Service. The on-campus bousing rationale states that students with families could be provided with "convenient child-care, time and cost savings in transportation, meal plan oppor- tunities for their families, and an opportunity to participate more fully in the University" if housing was built. A third group receiving benefits from on-campus housing are retir- ees. "A university campus is an ideal place for retired citizens who want the stimulation and challenge of sharing ideas and energy with other retirees as well as the entire university community." states the rationale. Other services offered to retired students include, Family Practice Medical Clinic, complete food serv- ice, recreational facilities. enter- lainment, nationally recognized li- brary, seminars, forums and confer- ences. The rationale contends that on- campus housing would improve stu- dent committment to the campus and to the completion of degrees and retention would increase. Several services on campus would be affected by the continual presence of students on campus. Food service could be expanded, direct and spectator participation "is strongly enhanced by the pres- ence of students living on campus." Evening and weekend activity par- ticipation would increase. Child care could remain open for ex- tended periods. The Union ODdPhy Ed would be able to provide expan- ded programs, Siewart.
