Chancellor Kaplan He had to orientate the insti- . tution in a more realistic way. in that we would have 5500-6000 students," Kaplan explained. Guskin also continued to build up the University's fac- ulty. "I think one of the more impressive accomplishments of Par-kstde. when you com- pare us to like institutions, is that we really have a flrst- class faculty for a non-doc- toral institution," she said. Kaplan feels that her chal- lenges are outlined in the con- vocation speech she gave at the beginning of the school year. She said that Parkslde has the potential to have re- gional excellence in most of our programs. "My commit- ment is to build the programs we've got in that direction," she commented. In Kaplan'S convocation speech, she mentioned a num- ber of those programs at Parkside, Including the Bio- logical Sciences Department, the Division of Education's Schooling and Human Diver- sity program; ChIld Care Cen- ter, Regional Staff Develop- ment Center, Freshman Seminar Program, pre-med program, Intercollegiate Ath- letic Program, Learning As- sIstance Center and the LI- brary/Learning Center. Kaplan also said in her speech that the University Is seeking accreditation for the engineering program through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and for the business program through the American Assem- bly of Collegiate Schools of Business. She hopes that Parkside can make the term "regional institution" a reality for Parkside. "The vast majority of our students come from this region, and with the demographic changes we're going to be seeing In Kenosha and Racine, it's imperative that we become better adept at serving a multt-etnntc 'clientele."

One candidate was offered an- other job, so The committee interviewed the rematntng five candidates over the past few weeks and chose the final three candidates for Goetz. Goetz conducted his own in- terviews of the candidates on the same days that they were up before the committee. Goetz then had a meeting with the committee after all the interviews were com- pleted to get the committee's feelings on the candidates.

The Cen- ters of Excellence were ap- proved at the Sept. 9 meeting of the Board of Regents. According to the Center of Excellence proposal format and criteria for selection released Oct. 12. 1987, pro- posals "must demonstrate that the proposed centers have national or regional rec- ognition for excellence or the potential for such recognition and tht they must detail plans for demonstrable impact upon the quality of under- graduate or graduate educa- tion.' , Parkside nominated two programs for the Center of Excellence title, the biologi- cal sciences program and an education division program on multi-cultural education. .The education program was not selected. Becoming a Center of Ex- cellence is no easy task. Ben Greenebaum. Associate Dean and Division Head of Science. explained that Parkslde went through a thorough evalua- tion of the biological sciences program before it was SUb- mitted to the UW-System. Dr. J. Lawrence Fox, a scientist at Abbott Labs In North ChIcago, and Dr. Charles McCormack, a professor of Physiology and Biophysics at the ChIcago Medical school, reviewed the program. Their reports were Included In the proposal package to the UW- System. Sp.eclflc objectives of the program Included activities to strengthen the research ex- perience for undergraduates, increase the number of aca- demic achievers in the biolo- gy program and broaden their geographic distribution, maintain and expand the cur- rent strength of the pre- health professions program and maintain and expand cur- rent outreach activities of the department. The proposal was submitted to the UW-System and was . evaluated by consultants out- side of the UW-System. Park- side's proposal was pooled with other science program proposals for review by science-orientated panelists. Those reports were then given to mixed paneltsts, and recommendations were made. "System pretty much ac- cepted what the paneltsts pro- ' posed," Greenebaum said. He explained that the Center of Excellence has one real and one potential meaning for Parkside. "It's a formal recognition by the people at System and these external reviewers of something that we've been bUilding for a long time. It's a ratification of some real strength that we already have. You couple that with the (Molecular Biology) Mas· ters program and Dr. Chen getting the Distinguished Pro- fessor award, and we've real- ly got the gold stars here." Greenebaunf said.

To new and old-timers: congratulations on belng privi- leged members of the Parkslde community In this, the 20th anniversary year. Through the years this parttcular lristltutlon has seen a great many trials, tribulations and periods of transition. This time through the academic calendar is no exception. The WLBR controversy is representative of several dift1- cult Issues that the Student Government Is facing. The Parkslde Unlon Advisory Board has experienced many d1U1culties In establishing a standardized Unlon alcohol policy. In regards to this being a year of transition, there Is a plethora of new faces including members of the fac- ulty, staff and administration. . Nonetheless, Parkstde has continuously maintained a standard at excellence In all areas of higher education paralleled by few other institutions of Its genre. case In point. we now have a center of Excellence in our Blo1ogi· cal Sciences Division. Similar to Presldentlal candidate. Governor Dukakls' statement that the "best" America Is yet to come, we be- Ueve the best Parkslde Is yet to come.

HOWEVER, IS THE DISCOVERY THAT THE FACE ON TIlE SHROUD IS ACTUALLY THAT OF ELVIS PRESLEY... . ~ ,:::. ~ by CbrIatopber Balerl hard work by my colleagues and myself would have been tripled if It were not for the existence of Unlted Council. The best option we can take as students Is not based on a cowardly apathetic "with- draw, whither. and die" attt- tude. LIke any undertaking, what we receive as an end re- sult Is based prtmarlly on what effort we pa~e as a whole. Unlted Council Is similar to our local, state and federal legislatures In that only our representatives can actualize the potential effectiveness of a governing body. cecesslon from a vital union Is rarely the best action of recourse when such potentlal Is not realized. I suggest we each pay the annual dollar, and request that our appointed represent- atives to Unlted Council ac- tively parttclpate In the effort to make Parkslde and the UW System a better environment for all of us as students. Commendations to Mr. Kehoe and l\Ir. Hearron on publlcl&lng the elemental facts regarding Unlted Coun- cU. However, they regretably neglected to present the un- derlylng Issue only hinted at In the second to last para- graph of thetr editorial. . You state that there Is a need for an organization. such as U.C. to exercise and pro- tect students rights, but sug- gest that since Unlted Council Is not quite cost effective In your opinion, the only viable alternative Is to collectively withdraw from the state-wide organization. I assume then that you know of an alterna- tive, more cost-effective means of protecting student rights? I, for one, do not. Speaking from my two year experience with the Parkside Student Government and Unlted Council, I can safely say that U.C. information and inspiration were Instrumental In many of the PSGA Senate's lobbv efforts. campus presen- tations, and dealings with fac- ulty and administration.

Arguably, we should not (<withdraw .. whither, and die JJ from U.C. when U needs par- ticipation.. and we could con· tribute to its success, but au:; participation In the past has been considered Insignificant and Ignored. Let me delve Into the past. Last year United CouncU wasted ten meetings on re- structuring the organization. Two changes were made: 1) a new committee was created (Shared GQt)emance). and 11) representation based on campus population. These are corrections that do not repair the actual problems, which are inherent to its admints· tratlve helrachy: too many people doing the wrong things. Due to the concentration of time and resources on re- structuring last year, lobby- Ing efforts failed. This year the names have changed.. but the plot remome the same. Granted, United Council is an excellent source of infor· mation and support for our student government to tap into.. but, again, is it worth the approximately $2500 In annual travel expenses.. the $5369 that United Council is . budgeted to receive from Parkslde this year when the same basic services can be tlbotight" for '500' This is the question put be- [ore the students of Parkslde. October 19 and 20 you will have the chance to answer, Anniversary To the Editor: Here we go again. I'm sorry to bother you, but last - week's letter to the editor contained a great deal of mis- information In regard to WLBR. I find thlsrldleulous as well as unfortunate. To begin with, the author obviously was not a Parkslde student In the '86·'87 spring semester. If they had been they would know that one of the platforms which Alex Pet- tit ran for the office of PresI· dent on was to. estsbl1sh a campus radio station in addl· tlon to increasing student In· volvement. In that same semester the radio project was initiated and later fell through. ;\II this occurred while Dan Perrault was stllf In high school At this time I would liketo say that not once have I ques- tloned Perrault's dedication to the radio project. In fsct, I know of several occasiont, that Perrault put himself and his own money on the line to further the cause of the radio project. It should be noted that he was never asked to do this.
