armeyer steps down from&#13;
byKelly McKissick&#13;
News Editor&#13;
WhenDon Harmeyer  took&#13;
er&#13;
the Chalrmanship of the&#13;
entOrganizations Council&#13;
) after  Bill  Serpe  re-&#13;
ed&#13;
Isst spring, he didn't&#13;
his&#13;
term would end so&#13;
eyer tendered his res-&#13;
lion on Friday  to Diane&#13;
h,&#13;
coordinator of student&#13;
viII&#13;
es.&#13;
SOC&#13;
presently  has&#13;
one&#13;
to&#13;
fill the positions of&#13;
, Vice Chair and&#13;
secre-&#13;
e explains that "It's&#13;
noth-&#13;
reallymajor." He had an&#13;
hlp&#13;
In&#13;
the accounting&#13;
ent at Cherry  Elec-&#13;
Company this  summer.&#13;
was&#13;
only supposed to be&#13;
the summer,  but  they&#13;
me back and asked me&#13;
rk there." he said.&#13;
e said he wouldn't  have&#13;
Urne to hold  down&#13;
job,&#13;
go&#13;
to school  and&#13;
e  both  SOC  and  the&#13;
Ranger.  "So, something  had&#13;
to go. It was&#13;
an&#13;
easy decision&#13;
to  make  In  knOwing  that&#13;
something  had  to go, but  It&#13;
was  hard  deciding  what  I&#13;
wanted  to give  up,"  he  ex-&#13;
plained.&#13;
"SOC  Is  entering   a  new&#13;
phase of Its evolution. We just&#13;
wrote a new constitution  and&#13;
just gained  major  status  last&#13;
semester. There are a lot of&#13;
big plans that&#13;
I&#13;
had for It this&#13;
year,  but I'm  sure they'll  be&#13;
able to pick up the pieces and&#13;
go on. Someone just a.  good&#13;
or better  than me will step In&#13;
and  take   over,"   Harmeyer&#13;
continued.&#13;
He sald thai Scott Peterson,&#13;
chairman  of the  Segregated&#13;
University    Fee   Allocation&#13;
Committee    (SUFAC),   will&#13;
step&#13;
In&#13;
temporarily   to help&#13;
SOC.  They   are   currently&#13;
working  on ftIl1ng the  Vice&#13;
Chair  position,  but  will  not&#13;
say who that person&#13;
will&#13;
be.&#13;
Harmeyer    realizes   that&#13;
SOC Is In a transitional  period&#13;
Don Harmeyer&#13;
right now, but he knows that&#13;
they have a lot of concerned&#13;
members.   HThey're  just  not&#13;
going to sit and let SOC fall&#13;
by the wayside. Someone&#13;
will&#13;
step  up and  say,  'Let's  get&#13;
things  rolling.'  The new  con-&#13;
stitution outlines the duties of&#13;
the officers really well, so It's&#13;
SOC chair&#13;
not going to be difficult for&#13;
someone to step In and take&#13;
.over."&#13;
He said that when he told&#13;
Welsh of his resignation,  "She&#13;
was happy that&#13;
I&#13;
got the&#13;
op-&#13;
portunlty  to get some&#13;
expert-&#13;
ence, but also a little sad&#13;
to&#13;
see that&#13;
1&#13;
had to give up SOC.&#13;
She underslands  my position.&#13;
I've  always  felt  that  I'm  a&#13;
student  first,  and&#13;
1&#13;
wouldn't&#13;
. be at Parkslde&#13;
If&#13;
1&#13;
wasn't get.&#13;
ting&#13;
an education."&#13;
He  explalned·that    Welsh&#13;
hired an Intern, due' to an in-&#13;
crease  In the Student&#13;
Actrvt,&#13;
ties&#13;
budget,&#13;
approved   by&#13;
SUFAC.&#13;
THIs&#13;
may  give the&#13;
intern, Tim Lorman, an op-&#13;
portunity  to get  further  in-&#13;
volved In SOC.&#13;
-&#13;
"The consolation Is that be-&#13;
cause of  the new constitu-&#13;
tions,  there  Is no one around&#13;
to&#13;
say,&#13;
'ThIs&#13;
Is&#13;
the way It's&#13;
been done,' so no matter  who&#13;
steps  In,  It's  going  to  be&#13;
brand new,&#13;
to&#13;
Harmeyer  saId.&#13;
"Alex Pettit  (Parkslde&#13;
stu.&#13;
dent Government  Association&#13;
President)&#13;
has&#13;
been super&#13;
Ir,&#13;
offering to help with SOC. He&#13;
aa1dthathewouldbe~&#13;
to&#13;
guide the new SOC prest-&#13;
dent along and help him out&#13;
with any questions  he might&#13;
have. Scott Peterson&#13;
has&#13;
also&#13;
been super In helping out," he&#13;
continued.&#13;
Harmeyer  added  that  the&#13;
best advice he&#13;
can&#13;
give SOC&#13;
Is&#13;
to be patient.  "You  just&#13;
don't  leam  everything  over-&#13;
night. It's going to take a lit-&#13;
tle bit of time, a lot of effort&#13;
and a lot of help from each&#13;
club. My advice  to the new&#13;
ChaIrman&#13;
would be to really&#13;
use those two (Pettit and Pe-&#13;
terson)  and use their&#13;
knowl-&#13;
edge to SOC's advanlage."&#13;
Harmeyer  added  that&#13;
sOC&#13;
will&#13;
accept  nominations  for&#13;
all&#13;
three  officers'  positions  at&#13;
the  first  meeting  Monday,&#13;

1.&#13;
The  conference   was  one  of&#13;
17&#13;
regional meetings that&#13;
will .&#13;

In&#13;
a statewide  na-&#13;
tional conference.  '&#13;
"What you say here today&#13;

be heard by the decision&#13;
makers&#13;
in&#13;
Madison,"  Thomp-&#13;
son told about&#13;
150&#13;
business-&#13;
persons  present,  "and&#13;
1&#13;
am&#13;
optimistic  that many of your&#13;
ideas&#13;
will&#13;
become  law."&#13;
Thomp.on  said that priori-&#13;
ties  listed  In a&#13;
1981&#13;
Gover-&#13;
nor's   Conference   have&#13;
re-&#13;
. celved  the  attention  of law-&#13;
makers.  He emphasized  that&#13;
results  are due to&#13;
bt-parttsan&#13;
efforls.&#13;
Changes&#13;
In&#13;
unemployment&#13;
compensation  laws,  he said,&#13;
was rated  top on the list of&#13;
priorities  at that  conference.&#13;
In&#13;
response,  significant  reo&#13;
form  has  been  achieved.&#13;
"The new law allows differ-&#13;
ential  rates  for  small  busi-&#13;
nesses,  which was asked for&#13;
out  of  that  conference,  reo&#13;
duced rates  for those compa-&#13;
nies  with&#13;
good&#13;
records,  and&#13;
the opportunity for some bust-&#13;
nesses  to opt out of the sys-&#13;
"What you say&#13;
here today will&#13;
be heard by the&#13;
decision makers&#13;
in Madison, and&#13;
I am optimistic&#13;
that many of&#13;
your wishes will&#13;
become law."&#13;
Gov. Thompson&#13;
tem" the governor said.&#13;
Participants  In the&#13;
1981&#13;
con-&#13;
ference&#13;
also&#13;
requested&#13;
changes&#13;
In&#13;
the  inherilance&#13;
tax,  which  also  has  been&#13;
achieved.&#13;
In&#13;
five years,  the&#13;
tax&#13;
wII&#13;
be phased out.&#13;
"I&#13;
could  go  around  this&#13;
room  and&#13;
1&#13;
bet  each  and&#13;
every one of you could tell me&#13;
of a relative, of a friend, of&#13;
somebody  who's  been&#13;
assoet-&#13;
ated  'Yith you  In business,&#13;
that's left the slate of Wiscon-&#13;
sin because of a high inherit-&#13;
ance  tax,"  aa1d Thompson.&#13;
UNo more,"&#13;
Another request met was In&#13;
regards  to Income tax.  'Our&#13;
Income  taxes  now  are  com-&#13;
petitive with other states."&#13;
Thompson  aa1d&#13;
his&#13;
recent&#13;
veto  which  saved  60 percent&#13;
exemption  on  capital  gains&#13;
met  needs  expressed  at the&#13;
1981&#13;
conference as well.&#13;
Thompson&#13;
has&#13;
received&#13;
600&#13;
responses to a&#13;
state-wtde&#13;
sur-&#13;
vey&#13;
In&#13;
association  with  the&#13;
1987&#13;
conference.&#13;
The survey showed that the&#13;
- top&#13;
concern  of the  manufac-&#13;
turing   Industry   Is  Income&#13;
taxes; and In agriculture,  It Is&#13;
property taxes.&#13;
Omer  Issues raised&#13;
In&#13;

survey  were  liability  insur-&#13;
ance, unemployment  compen-&#13;
sation,  capital  gains,  payroll&#13;
taxes, tax credits, inherilance&#13;
taxes  and health  care insur-&#13;
ance.&#13;
"Your&#13;
recommendations&#13;
will&#13;
receive  my  immediate&#13;
attention,"  Thompson told the&#13;
participants,   "and  hopefully&#13;
also the Immediate  attention&#13;
of the legislature."&#13;
•&#13;
Thompson   said  that   in-&#13;
creased  services&#13;
require&#13;
In-&#13;
creased funds, and expanding&#13;
the tax base&#13;
Ie&#13;
a better  ap-&#13;
proach&#13;
than&#13;
raising taxes.&#13;
"I&#13;
want Wisconsin not only&#13;
to be  the  etar  of the  snow&#13;
belt, " he concluded,  .'I want&#13;
Wisconsin to be the best. eco-&#13;
nomic  state&#13;
In&#13;
the nation.&#13;
1&#13;
think&#13;
It&#13;
can&#13;
