Thiswas fourth in a series of programs at Parkside cele- brating the Bicentennial of the United States Constitu- tion. The discussion featured a number of prominent and knowledgeable participants. Opening the program was ProfessorKenneth R. Hoover, formerprofessor of Parkside, now at the center for 20th CenturyStudies, UW-Milwau- kee. Wisconsin Assembly- man. Jeff Neubauer. made a short presentation outlining hiS personal experience with politicalaction committees or PAC's. Four panelists, two pro and two con, included: senator WUliam Proxrrrire ; prominentWisconsin lobbyist Peter Chrlstlanson; Common Cause in Wisconsin's Execu~ UTeDirector Willtam Hauda; and Wisconsin Education As- sociationCouncil's Executive SecrelaO' Morris Andrews. AUwere there to deal with the question of the constitu- llonality of PAC's and their lnfiuenceon the political elec- lionprocess. Political action committeeS ARE non-party organizations or political interest groups that contribute money to can- didates for publtc office. PAC's have always been around in one form or an-: other, but the number and kinds of PAC's have grown sharply since the passage of the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Fund Act. Amend- ments added in 1974 limited PAC contributions to $5000 per election for each candi- dste for federal office. At the state level, much more gener- ous gifts are ailowed and many states have no limits at au. Controversy arose as the .,::umber of PAC's grew and ~oto by John Kehoe ~llIiam Hauda,. Executive Director of Common Cause in Wiscon- Sin, exp.lalns-hIS stance on public financing and why candidates for public office should take advantage of it. contributions to candidates multiplied. In 1974, PAC con- tributions totalled $12.5 mil- lion. By 1984, this grew to over $105 million. As of 1987, PAC's supplied more than one-third of funds for House candidates and close to one- fifth of Congressional monies. Senator Proxmire said that PAC's donations unbalance the opportunity that candi- dates have for running for of- fice. He said that with PAC's, elections become .'not a mat- ter of free speech, but of dol- lars." Proxmire argued that many interest groups. make contributions to sway a legis- lator's stand on key issues. This, he states, equates to "iegal bribery" that has been "perfumed to kill the odor of corruption. ,. Morris Andrews made the rebuttal that some PAC's allow. people without individ- ual political clout to make their views and attitudes heard. Historically, he said, teachers have been one of these under-represented groups. Andrews said educa- tion PAC's have a positive, balancing influence by unit- ing people with common in- terests and providing them with a means to vocalize their concerns, Andrews did not support all PAC's, just ones that did not center on single issues. In regard to the legiti- macy of PAC's, Andrews felt that If pOlitical candidates make total and complete dis- closures of their campaign expenditures, it would then be up to the general common sense of the voters to decide whether or not the funding methods were acceptable. William Hauda agreed that there was the need for full disclosure. but did not feel that that would solve the whole problem of alleged PAC abuses. He went on to cite the problems of donations from other sources. These in- cluded the several thousand dollar honorariums for speeches and appearances, $100 per plate luncheons and breakfasts, as well as other campaign fundraisers. He emphasized the point that PAC's only represent a small minority of the populace who are trying to advance their economic agenda. Hauda suggested that peo- ple should take advantage of the "public financing" option. See Debafe, page 3 . Thursday. Nov. by Scott Singer Although Parkside has not experienced any major mi- nority student problems, a student government organiza- tion effort has arisen to cover this and. other minority topics. The Minority Actions Committee (MAC) was de- signed to handle any prob- lems that might occur con- cerning minority students, in addition to promoting "posi- tive ethnic relations," said Ross Pettit. In the fall of 1987,under the direction of G. Gary Grace, Wayne Williams, Director of the Center for Cultural Ad- vancement, had been directed to form a committee such as MAC. Since It did not occur as planned, "Student Govern- ment was frustrated by a lack of significant progress by the administration on creating such a committee. So we took the initiative, H said J. Mark Hall. Establshed in April of 1988, MAC Is headed by Hail, Mi- nority Affairs Director, and Pettit. 'vtce-Prestdent of 3. 1988 PSGA. The committee "was created with the intention of increasing the studentj; voice in minority student con- cerns," Pettit said. Pettit said that MAC "has a mission that is two-fold: to monitor the effectiveness of policies Initiated" by the va- rious campus groups, and "to promote racial harmony." Pettit also stated that they "want to make sure more than lip service is paid to stu- dent concerns. ,. Pettit feels that MAC is unique in the sense that since j 'Parkside has not expert- enced blatant and public sian. der against minorities." Pet- tit also said that the effort is one of being "pro-active" to- ward minority student con- cerns, rather than waiting for a problem to occur before acting. Pettit was quick to stress that the "watchdog orgaruza- tton" represents more than minorities. He satd that MAC was for the j 'economically disadvantaged as well as for ethnic groups."

For others, the university experience is one of self-improvement. It may be said of all students, you are on a path of success. All too frequently, success is mistaken for a destination, when in reallty, it is a journey. Occasionally. when you perceive this journey to be a destination. you lose sight of your purpose. When the work. the exams, the studies become overbearing, frus- tration and apathy set in. It is at preciseiy this point that you must remember your mission: this work no matter how trivial it may seem, is another opportunity along the journey. . Furthermore, it is noi enough to just get the work com- pleted. It must be the best you are capable of doing. In the 1950's and 60's, Sears came up with a promotional idea to motivate their sales personnel to sell more expen- sive products with longer warranties. The Sears saying may be one to which we, as students can subscribe. "Good, better, best ...never let it rest .. :tU the good gets better and the better gets best." We are midway through the 1988 Fall semester. The going may be getting tough, so just remember, that's when the tough get going. During this season of mid-terms, keep your head above water.

This booklet, which was a collection of poetry, short stories, artwork, and photography offered students both the chance to share their work with others and the op- portunlty to be published. This year, a new drive has begun to keep Parkside's literary magazine alive and submissions are now being sought. Those who are willing to contribute to Somewhere in the Room can place their work in the English Club's mailbox in the PSGA office. Somewhere in the Room is a necessary literary voice here at Parkside and I encourage .all students to submit some- thing of theirs to this publica- tion. Sincerely, Luke Klink We the People .•• To the Editor Not too long ago America celebrated the refurb"lshlng of the Statue of LIberty. Millions of dollars were spent in an at- tempt to try to patch up a symbolic stone and an Ameri- can conscience. People throughout the centuries have tried to patch up the aesthet- ics of society while the inside - slowly rotted away. It's not wrong to fix up a statue that brings back memories to thousands who No12odv.asked me, but. .• Some children received more than treats on Halloween Halloween is over, but It hasn't been forgotten. At least not in my eyes and the children who received a spe- cial "treat" in their bags. Many found an anti-Hallow- een carton and brochure. The cartoon entitled "The Trick" is a story about "little Johnny" who is killed in the name of satan whIle trtck-or- treating. It depicts several scenes of satanic worship. The basic idea of the cartoon is to convince children that Halloween is nothing but evil and shouldn't be celebrated. Do they actually want us to believe that little kids dressed up as angels and clowns are evil because they go trick-or- treating? That's what hap- pened to the kids in the car- toon. The back of the carloon booklet says "compliments of Lighthouse Baptist Church. Racine, WI." What do they think this is going to accom- plish? Sure. it may scare the hell out of little kids and anger parents. but will any- thing constructive come out of it? Some of the older kids may get their curiosity peaked by this and become interested in the topic of satanism. The cartoon was also ac- companied with a brochure entitled "The Dark Side of Halloween," by David L. Brown. He states that, "Hal- loween has always been a celebration' of death," and goes on to explain all of the harmful effect. The last page of the brochure offers alter- natives to Halloween. In- stead, people should have "Glory Gatherings" where Christian videos are played and Christian songs are sung, excluding all reference to Halloweeen. Finally, at the end there are several quotes from the bible. I am not, by far, a devil worshiper or an athiest. I found this material to be ma- nipulative of the bible and a detrimental way to go about convincing people not to cele- brate Halloween. I don't doubt that the history of Hal- loween had something to do with the occult. But today Halloween is supposed to be a fun time when both kids and adults can dress up and pre- tend to be something or some- one else. That tartnest thing from their minds is satanic worship. Many churches give Halloween parties for their parish and perhaps even have haunted houses. It's harmless fun. - I don't object to the cartoon and brochure being printed, after all, this is America. Everyone is entitled to think what they want. But, I feel that the distribution of the material could have been done in a more discrete man- nero Give It to the parents, not the kids. by Laura Pestka EDITORIAL STAFF Jon Hearron ........................•..
