I'd like to paint a picture for you. The portrait will be of two different, yet similar schools. Take a look at the pic. ture and draw your conclusions. Dartmouth College, a school of 4,719students, has been In existence since 1788. Recently the school has been presented with a dilemma by The Dartmouth RevIew, a privately.fUnded student newspaper. while paying $11,679 tuition per academic year, certain student journalists have found that their education Is worth are less than the price tag attached to It. TIle _ Review has publlshed arIlcles In an at- tempt to Improve the quality of education that the Dart- mouth facu1ty provide. In creating arIlcles with such an aggressive Intent, they have utilized several types tnvesti- gatlve reporting including: publication of surveys Indlcat- Ing that Dartmouth students are culturally Illlterate; pub. licatlon of arIlcles calling for a core curriculum; taping and publication of a lecture by a music professor nick- named "Tollet Mouth". and so on. Recently several student editors were forced to appear before a tribunal, found gullty, and suspended from lIchooL The University of Wisconsln-Parkslde, a school of some &,100plus students, ts celebrating Its 20th AnnIversary Year. Parkslde's student newspaper, TIle Ranger, though par. tIa11yfUnded by University dollars, Is free to serve as the collective voice of the student body. WhIle full-time students pay tuition of $1,594 per aca- demlc year. there is a core cirriculum (BOK) and collegi- ate sk1lls that insures Parkside graduates have a well- rounded education. Students are given the opportunity to evaluate each of their professors at the end of every semester. These evaluations are then reviewed by departmental heads. Student Input helps keep the incision concise by the cut- tIng edge of teaching. Those who find themselves in academic distress may appear before the Academic Actions Committee. Anyone dropped for academic or collegiate skills trouble has the option of presenting their case to this committee. The Academic Actions Committee Is comprised of facultly, academic admlnlstrators. and students, all of which have equal ballots in deciding each case. For those of you "non-bellvers" maybe. just maybe, Parkslde Isn't such a bad place after all.

PSGA offers bookstore alternative by Scott Singer As If the cost of paying tuition Isn't enough ...a student has the additional burden of pur- chasing textbooks. Because new books cost so much. many students purchase used books rather than new. While this makes good financial sense, good used books are few and far between. 1ltis year a used book ex- change program wll1 once again be established. Operat- ed by the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGAI, this program, offi- cially known as the campus Book Exchange (CBEI, will· be available to students start. Ing In October. PSGA Vice. President, Ross Pettit, and the project manager, John Kehoe, will be heading the CBE. Offered "as an .alternattva to the existing bookstore," Pettit exptalned, ."the CBE. will provide the student with a large choice of used books." "You buy your book new for $50 [from the bookstore] you seli It back to them fo; $20, then they turn around and sell It for $40," Pettit said. "Why aren't you as a student entitled to that $4O?" When a student has a book PSGA Vice-President floss PeUlt will be surrounded· by texts If the Campus Book Exchange Is successful. to seli, Ile should go to the PSGA office on the D-1 level of the Wyllie Ubrary /Learn- Ing Center (WLLC). There the student will be given a card to put Information about the condition of the book for sale. This Information wll1 be entered into a computer and, stored. A list of what book Is reo qulred for what class will be available to students In the PSGA office. Once the stu. dent determines what book Is needed, the student wlll be given the name and phone number of the student who is selling that book. After the book Is sold at a price agreed upon by the two students, the CBE requests that It be notified that the book has been sold so that It Can be deleted from the list of available books. Because the final sale of the books and the money ex- changed Is handied by the students. the CBE handles no money, therefore making it a totally free service. A book sale will be spon- sored once each semester by the CBE. Students will be al- lowed to set up and display books for sale In a flea·mar· ket type atmosphere.
