The effects of these amendments are many and tar reaching. . In general, they present a restructuring of those formu- Iae used to determine ellglbll. Ity. "CertaIn categories of students will benefit," ex- plainedJan Ocker, director of financial aid at Parkslde, "but some will experience less eligibility than in prevt- ousyears. " Those.who will benefit will mainlybe those students with dependent children, "dis- placedhomemakers,') ·'dislo ... cated workers," and single parents who support their ehlldren even if they are Itv- Ing st home and are Federal lax deductions for their par- ts. Thebig losers will be those students who earned" more ment, and students who quit their jobs to return to school, as such students will no long. er be able to reflle under "Special Conditions." Most of those students who will lose out will do so due to the fact that need will be based on income of the tax return of the year prior to the year of attendance rather than the projected income of the academic year. "Congress has had a bee in its bonnet for several years:' commented Ocker. "They were not happy with old for. mulae used to determine need. They wanted something they could pin down and doc- ument. Students' 1987income Will always be used to deter- mine their 1988·89academic year 'need' of eligibility." "Dislocated workers" are an exception. They may use their projected 1988 income as. the determinant of need. New benefits to be received by students include up to $1,000 per academic year in' chIld care for chIldren under 12, elimination of home equlty from consideration in the determination of family con. trlbutlon for all adult students demonstrating that they are "displaced homemakers," and financial aid for students with dependent chIldren grad_ uating from high school equal to that which the chIld would receive. Part-time students are now eligible for Pell Grants, Sup. plemental Educational Opper- tunlty Grants, College Work. study, and Perkins loans. Pregnant women, as well as women who have had or adopted a chIld within six months of enrollment can defer tuition payments tor six months. Women entering the work force who have pre- SChool chIldren who make less than one dollar above minimum will be able to defer payments up to twelve months. photo by Dave McEvoy Changes in the Financial Aid criteria could pose some problems for Parkside stUdents.

Cady also wants to Imple- ment an extensive traIning program for UC delegates . "By front loading the tram- ing in the beginning of the year," he said, "we will be- come more skilled and have more time remaInIng to uti- lize these lobbying tactics." 10 addition to being UC's current Vlce-President, Cady has been involved in Stevens Point's student government for two years, ThIs year he Is president. "I'm ready to make a com- mitment to making It (UC)' more effective," cady said. "I'll focus more on the issues . at hand. A lot of time was spent haggling out Internal qualities that can only benefit UC. "Next year, I think I can help raise the profile and credibility of United Council as a whole, as we did this year with legislative affairs," Smith saId. Woldseth, If elected UC president. plans to concen- trate on several specific Issues. HIs priorities include making credit transfers be- tween campuses easier. ex- panding the UC Shared Oov- emance initiative by mcreas- ing funding and working hard to Improve the MInority Af· faIrs committee.

In addition to the Issues men- tjoned above, Woldaeth will work to Improve chIld care on campus. "I'd like to see the Unlverslty take a stand in this area." processes this year. I. Smith, because of his expe- rience of Legislative Affairs Director, believes he Is the most qualified candidate for UC president. By emphasiz- ing the' Issues, instead of political parties, Smith feels he can continue to broaden UC support regardiess of political party. One of his maIn goals Is to organize UC. "I want to help all the com- mlttees of United Council or- ganize," he said. "By organ- Izing we can get more stu- dents involved in issues on the campus, as well as the state leveL" A direct result of this, Smith saId, will be more reo- ognltlon of UC on the cam- puses. "There Is no way that students ahould see UC posters on campus and not know what the organization Is all about."

Ranger reading "priJised" college level and who read the letter should have imme- diately recognized that the thrust was exactly the oppo- site. Questions must be raised about the editortal compe- tance of the Ranger staff. Did anyone bother to read the let- ter? If so, does the banner re- flect the editorial bias of .the staff? Is It an attempt to politically influence the stu- dent body at Parkslde without presenting opposing views in a neutral or objective atmos- phere? Perhaps it's nothing. so insidious as that. Perhaps there were too many big words that the Ranger st,aff couldn't compre- hend, like responslbllty and objectively. Maybe no one .Is to blame, Maybe It's. just a failure of our public schools whfch- pump the universitltes full of high school graduates who don't know how to read. Perhaps If this letter Is print- ed it should carry the banner. "Ranger Praised For Respon- sible Objectivity." To !be Editor: Now I'm convinced that liberals cannot think at all, let alone think objectively! Last week I submitted a let- ter to the editor, the purpose of which was to excoriate the liberal and Democratic phi- losophies, specifically eco- nomic, which have placed America In the position which seriously jeopardizes the fu- ture of this nation. The ludicrous nature of liberal thought, I pointed out, Is to Ignore both the past fifty years of liberal economic policy which has brought us to our present condition as well as the responslbUity of the Democratic Congress which has refused to deal realistically with the prob- lem. Rather, liberals choose to place all the blame In the lap of Reaganomics. ThIs type of thlnkJng Is only an attempt by liberals to shift the blame for their own falled policies. YET! What was the banner placed above the letter? "Vote Against Reaganom- ics" . Now. anyone who is at a MAYBE HE COULD JUST MAKE A CRACK ABOUT "THESE KISS-AND-TEU. BOOKS. WE.

United Council is the state student lobbying group. It represents over 150,000stu' dents ~on 23 of 'the' 26 cam' puses, fncluding' Parkside. The organization acts as- a liasGn between the students and the state government. This year UC has. lobbied againsf the -nomination of John Jarvis as student re- gent, lobbied for the 33 per- cent Student Tuition Cap, and fough for increased financial aids. . The State Assembly Affairs Committee held a drinking, age hearing to vocalize their position regarding the current drinking age of ,Tuesday; April 12. Rep. Tim Carpenter (D-MtI- waukee) is the author of' the bUl that would lower the legal drinking age to 19. The hear- Ing was not held to discuss- actual passage of the bill, but to emphasize the potential et- fects of lowering the drinking age. I At the hearing, Carpenter focused on three main points. He -sald the Legislature had made' a mistake by submit. ttng" to the federal govern- ment's "blackmail" to. raise .the drinking age. (The fed. eral government withheld highway money until the drinking age was raised. ) Also, Carpenter said, drtnk- ing is still going on. .. All rais- ing the drinking has done Is shift the drinking from bars to cars," he said. His third point was that l8-year-olds are ~old enough. to do every- thing but drink. "They have aU the rights of an adult ex. cept the right to drink," he said. Two members of the United Council testlfied on behalf of . lowering the drinking age. "Raising the drinking agj! has not stopeed l8-and 19. year-olds from drinking," said UC President AdrIaD Serrano. "Instead they're drinking In more dangeroun envtrrroments, and," he added. "they're still driving," 'Legtsrattve Affairs Direclor .Jim Smith told the commit- tee, "I think we've come loa rather sad point when certain 'groups would rather take a right away froma segment of . the population Ulan holdthem accountable to the responsib- lity of being an adult." . "Sobriety cannot be legis- lated,"> said Rep. Davld Clarenbach (D-Madlson). , j. Drunken driving is not a 'pheno/llena confined to the young. By raising the drink· Ing -age to 21, we have im· plied that age is the deter· mining factor in irresponsible social conduct." CIarenbach is one of. the co_sponsors of the bill.

" by Jon Hearroa Ronald Brinkman, who has been the director of Campus security since 1971, will be stepping down from this post in the Parkstde community at the end of the semester. Before coming to Parkside, Brinkman served under the Attorney General in Madison with the Wisconsin Council of the Criminal Justice system. He began his career with the Racine Police Department in 1957. By the time he left the Racine P.O., just over 12 years later, he had risen to the rank of lieutenant. Brinkman has seen may changes in Parkside over the course of his 17 years here. Not only has he served under- the administrations of three different chancellors, but he has also seen the security de- partment evolve from merely a campus pollee group to an organization overseeing park- Ing and transportatlon, the locksmith shop, and the dis- posal of hazardous materials. When asked his feelings about leaving, Brinkman said, "I have some very deep and mixed emotions." On one hand he feels "It Is time for me to step down and let new ideas lead on." On the other hand, Brinkman regrets to be leaving under Chancellor Sheila Kaplan's administra- tion. He believes U1e univer- sity will greatly Improve under her Ieaderehfp. Over the years, one of the things about Parkslde that has Impressed Brinkman the most has been the maturity of the student body. Accol'dlng to Brinkman.
