Sept. 29. 1988 Ranger lour view A question of value... United Council is an entity the likes of no other In the state. They speak on your behalf. Let me ask you a quee- non: what Is United Councll? It would not be surprising to find that few Parkside stu- dents are aware of what V.C. Is. Regardless of whether you are familiar with the term United Council or not. you are paying for It. Fifty cents per student per semester is paid to United Council as a mandatory refundable "mem- bership" fee. Thts does not Include the additional ex- penses of sending seven PSGA representatives to U.C. meetings In state vehicles, hotel accommodations and mlscellaneous costs each month. United Council is an organization whose membership conaists of student bodies throughout the University of Wisconsin System' that chose to belong. that lobbies the atate legislature and the Board of Regents on issues and concerns facing students (e.g., drinking age; tuition cap and system pollcies). The next question to be asked Is what has United Ooun- cll done for you. the Parkside student. Basically. not a thing. The recent successes of United Council (e.g, add- /drop. academic misconduct chapter 14) can only be at- tributed to good luck. not good lobbying. Its failures (e.g. tuition cap, 19-year-old drlnk1ng age. and non-traditional tinanc1al aid) show a series of miscalculations and blun- ders. On the other hand, the most prevalent activity of United Council Is the careful ptannlng of the fights between mem- ber campuses. On the occasions that we have accompa- nied the PSGA delegation to U.C. meetings, we have seen nothing but unpolished polltlcklng. By no means are we trying to say that there Is no need for an organization the likes of U.C. to safeguard student rights. We belleve that this representative body, to which we are paying large sums of money t is not adequately serving Parkslde's needs or interests. Is the service worth the price tag? You, the students, are going to have the opportunity to voice your op1n1onon Parkside's membership with United Council Oct. 19 and 20. by John Kehoe and Jon Hearron YMFARIIDI By GARY LARSON I IL.::..YO_U_P _vi_ew_s__ ----:~~_____:_--l On the opposite end of the wire To the Editor: It Is past tlme to set the re- cord straight on what has happened In reference to WLBR, the student radio sta- tlon at Parkslde. I can personally attest to the fact that the 1987-88idea for the station originated with Station Manager Dan Per. rault. He chose this pursuit as an Internship project. He, to- gether with an outstanding Radio Production Committee. worked to promote, organize and operate the station by June. 1988. I know Dan Per. rault and I know of the many hours of labor put Into this project. Not only did he con- tribute labor. but enthusiasm. organizational skills and his own capital. I can provide names, titles and phone num- bers of people who can' vertt- fy how Dan lald his time and money on the line for WLBR. He used his own vehicle to transport the needed equip- ment from Burlington. Mil- EDITORIAL STAFF Jon Hearron ...•.......................

He put up his own money for items when approval was slow In coming. During the summer, while many vacationed In various parts of the country. he and the committee worked tire- lessly to produce a solid con- stitution and set of policies and procedures, based on re- search accomplished by con- tactlng several schools and stations. The PSGA President called three Council meetings duro Ing the summer vacation pe- riod. (How can any valid school business be decided during a term break. when Council members and others are not In school or are on vacation?) These meetings should be declared null and void, because they were not publicized properly and not attended by a majortty of representatives. The PSGA President fur- ther claims In his letter to the Ranger (Sept. 15), thai credit for the radio statlon belongs to Alex Pettit. Even Alex doesn't claim that dlslinction. I refer Mr. Lewandowski to the March 24. 1988 issue of the Ranger, where on page 3, Alex Is Interviewed about his year in office. Question one and its answer contradict Jay's contention: Question: ,"What was your grea ted accomplishment In office?" Answer: "Probably the radio station, although that wasn't my personal accom· plishment. ... I'd have to point to that as the besi thing for the students and the uni· versity .,;" It's time for the PSGA lesd· ership to abandon their jeal· ous, arrogant attitude and work with the WLBR commit· tee for "the students andthe university" as Alex believed. And let's accord credit where It is definitely due! P.A.M.Mon< Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
