It Is imperative that Important parties Involved be on hand at library committee meet. ings to voice the concerns of the students. "There Is one thing to keep It (the library) open to meet legitimate needs and there Is another thing to keep It open for the very sake of doing It," Kaplan continued. "We Intend to address It. our problem Is money. We do hope we can find some way to juggle the resources. And I hope within a week we can have some sort of resolution to this prob- lem." An Important point made by Kaplan Is that the library situtanon must also be seen as trade-off between service and access. If you keep both the service and the access then you have to cut some- where else. "Every'tlme you look at a zero sum budget, and this Urne you are, you cut some here and give 1t over there and that's just the way It Is", Kaplan said. Kaplan finished addressing the ·students by stating, "I ap- preciate your concem and your Interest. It's nlce to Bee people wanting the library. It Is a very positive lhtog." PSGA president Alex Pettit said that random protests will continue throughout the next weeks until the situation Is reo solved. photo by Steven Picazo . .

Faculty and staff who work In the area of the Ll- . brary/Leamlng Center, which Is separata from the 11· brary Itself, have complained about the added Inconven· lence of getting to such areas as the duplicating center and malJ services, (which are on the D·2 level inside the li- brary) and back, one must go a total of up three and down three levels. According to ern- ployees. not only Is lhls an In- convenience. but it wastes considerable amounts of time as weu, especially when the same path is travelled sev- eral time" each day. While no Gtflclal plans are being made to remedy lhls, Piele said that employees from other areas may eventually be given keys to access the 11· brary through the D·l doors . Alex Pettit, president of Parkslde Student Oovern- ment Association (PSGA) reo sponded to the closing by set- tlng up a table outside of the D.l doors the momlng they were"-locked. By the end of the first day, 549 slgoatures protesting the permanent clo- sure were collected. By the end of the second day. over 1,000 were collected. Students and staff who discovered that the doors were locked seemed eager to slgo the petition. However, Pettit does not ex· pect the effort to payoff. "ApparenUy It (the petition drive) has fallen on deaf ears," he stated. Pettit also commented on the method by which lhls and other decisions affecting the library services have been made. "The library doesn't make a case for what they do. They make a decision and then come up with excuses." Mary Elizabeth ShuUer, vice chancellor, said that if students don't ilke the decl- slons that are being made, then " ...they should go to their representative on the In- fonnatton Resources Commit. tee. The student representa- tlve for the IRC Is Alex Pet- tit. "If they are not satisfied after that, then they should voice thetr opinions at the meetings themselves." The Library Subcommittee of the information Resources COmmittee (lRC) Is the body responsible for making the recent decisions. The subcom- mlttee Is chaired by Protes- sor James Shea. perspectives :=2T11u:=rsda y .=0ct0be=r22=.1987:.:.-Ran 9 _er ------..:: our view Campus leaders take time to make changes 1'tle 1.1nIn th Ub ry to prol the lo<:k1ngof the 0-1 cIoon W I I the Iud n\.l who care aboul what Is In on lhtn unlvenlly can make a dIlference. t .. not an hoUr atter the protest began thai security e d eel lIlat the group disband It was less than an hour after thai lIlal Chancellor Kaplan came down and m group to r th conce",.. not Me th request an unreasonable one, \.I til 8tuden\.l to be ware of the budgetary con- \.I that BIle and the other admtntstrators face. t parttcul&r1y tnwresl!ng. however. was the plu'UO BIle ..-ed to describe U- 8tuden\.l who took the to mak a point and hopetully a change that would pall llIe udenla-lhe campus leaders.

Respectully submitted, Ralpb Abaglan To the Editor: WIly Is Parkslde looking for new students while other UW centers are capping enroll- ment? WhIle I don·t pretend to have done any empirical re- search on this matter. I would like to offer a few per- sonal observations which may have an impact on this ques- Uon. I am a transfer student from out of state. This is my second semester at Parkside. my first in the dorms. Food service is a problem. 1 can eat at many restaurants cheaper Ulan this cafeteria. I talked to a few people about food service at other UW campuses. I understand a couple of campuses offer food programs where a student can actually live off the food tickets. At UW-Oshkosh. for a lltue over S300per semester a student can eat 2 meals a day five days a week. I am also told that at sev- era! of the campuses, once one goes through the head- count. a student may select any type of meal. A la carte here Is simply too expensive. Most people I have talked to spend between $4 and $5 {or a full meal. When you pay $1.69 for a sandwich. you are bet- ter off buying out of a vend- Ing maclting. Additionally. If you do happen to stay around on a weekend. food is at least available at other campuses. Here. good luck. I would love to see a survey of student satisfaction with this food service program. The dorms are nice. A Uttle noisy at times. but nice. For $1100 per semester they should be. Compare that to UW·MIlwaukee at $88 per month or $450per semester at Oshkosh. Why is Parkside so much more expensive? They must want to payoff the loan for the construction in a hurry. This weekend my dorm room and three others were burglarized.
