Sue Bostetter was elected cbaIr by a vote of 4-3. Bostet- ter, whoIs also Parkside Ac- UvlUesBoard (PAB) presi- dent, has served on several Unioncommittees· and has been employedby the Union. Allvoting members of the Board were present except representativesfrom Student OrgaoIzatlonsCouncil (SOC) and the Ranger, who could IlOlattend due to schedule eonfllcts.Evaluating the turn- out, the Board agreed to malnlain the meeting time at I p,m.Friday once a month. ~. nextmeeting will be held "",11. Fueling lengthy discussion wu theIssue of the food ser-v- Ice contract. TIm Grygera, a Iludentrepresentative, vocal- bed student complaints of food service. There Is little or no food service on weekends he said, and Identified majo~ student complaints as carete- ria hours, quality of food, and prices. "U we want to bring stu- dents In from out of state, . we've provided them with housing. we have to provide them with food." he said. . In addition, Grygera said Items In the mini-mart are . priced almost twice that of those available In Racine and Kenosha shopping centers, "There's a substantial problem here," he empha- sized, "and something needs to be done." Hostetter noted that the res- idence halls include kitchens, allowmg' residents to cook on weekends when food service Is not available .. Steve McLaughlin, director of student life, said that hous- jpg officials. are. planning to conduct a survey to deter- mine student residents' needs. "That might give .dlrection to this board on how to go Sue Bostetier about taking action," he said. •'This has been a problem since the beginning of the semester," said Grygera, - asking how much more time would be needed to conduct the survey. McLaughlin and Bostetter agreed that It would be feasl· ble that the surveys could be completed before the next PUAB meetings. The Board will delay action unW that time. Union Director Bill Nelbuhr said the Union has a $100,000 contract with Professional Food Service. Management (PFM). The contract was made before the housing was compleled, inclUding kitch- ens. He said PFM had an op- tion of not coming back, but agreed to maintain the con- tract If It could operate the mini-mart. Nelbuhr added that last year when food service was provided on weekends on a trial basis, it was not success- ful. Moving on to the Issue of remodeling the Union, Nel- buhr distributed -remodeling plans submitted by the Union Remodeling Task Force. "The bottom line is that the cost is beyond our means," he said. Questions that need to be addressed, he said, are: What do we want to do? How will It be paid for? Will seg fees be raised? Whal can be done right away? Much money has been lost In' the dramatic drop In sales of alcoholic beverages in the Union, he noted. Another Union problem Ia pesla. Nelbuhr said there are cockroaches present in tne Union. "They're showing up In places they've never been be- fore, I. he said. However, an exterminator has been con- tracted to deal wlIb the prob- lem. There Is also a rodent prob- lem that occurs at this time every year. Ants are also present In the walls. "All I can say is we're ad- dressing the problem and we'll continue to." Nelbuhr promised. In closing, McLaughlin reo Iated to Ibe Board discussion of Its lack of activity during an earlier student govern- ment meeting. "PSGA (Parkalde Student Government Association) dis- cussed the Importance of thIe committee to be up and run- ning," he exptalned. The Board agreed to oet up a subcommittee to change the group's bylaWS to define a regular meeting time. Non-traditional students remain a priority by Terri DeRosier Asst,Feature Editor The Assistant Chancellor forStUdentAffairs, G. Gary Grace, spoke to a group of lIOn·tradltionalstudents last WedneSday on . Parkslde's Viewsof the future of the non- traditional student on this campus. Theaccepted definition of a non·traditiOnal student Is someone Who is 23 years of age or older and/or someone ~ho has been out of school for ve years or more.

Parkslde does not hold on too tightly to the past and as a whole Is willing to try new things, "I feel that's a good attrib- ute to have," Grace said, "but It does aggravate the communication problem. II's hard to Reep everyone abreast 'of all the changes, which can cause confusion and frustration. , . "One of the Issues that I feel strongly about ts that this institution has backed off of their commlttment to non- traditional students," Grace stated, "I have been told by staff, faculty and ·students that Parkslde did have a strong and vita! commlttment to non-traditional students In the past, and In the last two to three years that co~mlt. ment has been dropped, Grace feels that the ques- tion of whether or not the uni- versity Is discontinuing Its supporl of non-traditional stu· dents was brought Into ques· G. Gary Grace recollecl saying anything that could even be construed that way. What she does recollect In the meeting where It sup- posedly took place, was a statement that this Institution with the limited dollars that It has, ought to be gearing In the direction of trying to reo crult full-time students, and to not devote precious re- sources to going out and re- cruiting a student who oniy takes a course at a time. "'That statement alone, whether valid or Invalld had started the rumor that this in- stitution longer cared about the non-traditional student." Grace said that he does not lhInk that Parkside had ever a non-traditional student ad- Inside visor, or an office for non- traditional student services per se, although there have been staff who have worked with non-traditional students, and have also had special programs just for non-trsdl- tional students. He also feels that another factor that has contributed to the misconception of the way the universlly feels about non-tradtttonat students Ia the way the campus has become more visibly Involved with reo cnJ1tment. New offices have been established for trsdltion· al-age recruitment, but It seems as though nothing Is being done tor the non·tradi· tional student.

In order to otter the low-Income minority students tut- tion waivers, existing tuition and student fees would have to be Increased. there would also have to be additional .tate fundlng which would translate into higher taxes. It la beco~ing more and more dlftlcult for students to y tuiUon. Every year 1t increases. Students who must ~te their pursuit of a degree because tuition has be- come out of reach will become angry not at the legisla- ture but at the minority students who will avall them- ""Ivel of lhla educational opportunity. ThIs misguided anger can only lead to trouble. Another troubling aspect of thI. proposal I. the require- ment of only a 2.5 grade point average to receive thil benefit. Studenla who graduate with a 2.5 may not be ready for the rigors of university learning. What support 8)18teme can the UW schools offer these students once they are here? Is It fair to bring students In and not be prepared to keep them here? Low.lncome whlla students will not have an equal op- portunity to recetve a post secondary education because they will not be Included In lhla program. Basing these acl>o1arlhtpa on race la not a sound notion. The System of· ticillB and legtalators who develop this program will not bear the brunt of the Ire of the excluded white students. but the minority students will. The results could be tragic. A better remedy and a more equltable one would be for the System oft1clals and the legislature to work together to create better student financial ald packages. In addl- tlon, the Sy.tem could work harder to recruit and retaln minority faculty, admlntstrators and staff to create peal- tive role models for existing minority students. FInally, there could be a greater emphasis on recruiting minority students. Unfortunately, the most recruited mi· nority students continue to be athletes, and they do not graduate In great numbers, which demonstrates that they are not ready for the academic demands of the unIversity. Recruiting academicaJly talented minority students would provide lllem with an opportunIty to come to the unrver, sity and to stay here.

As a Parkslde Student Govern· ment Senator, the most irri- tating thing that my constitu- ents find Is the decllnJng amount of services provided by the campus. An example Is the closing of the library D- 1 doors and the cut back In li- brary hours. ThIs happened with the addition of a new $40,000 a year computerized card catalog. The reason that they cut back services was due to the lack of tunds.T find this to be contradictory, to say the least.
