Themeeting on Wednesday. Dec. 7 opened with a brief, dissertation from Shaw which began: "Before you walk out ofhere. you will be convinced that you will be very, very ssd if you don't have high tui- tion." Shaw's statement was in reference to' the dramatic increases in tuition (double- digit percentage increases) that have been budgeted for the next biennium by the Board of Regents. Those stu- dents in attendance at· the meeting were not convinced. Shaw said the majority of tIIlr proposed budget in- creases appear in the form of compensation for faculty. "In order for us to be competi- ti¥e, we have to make up what has been lost over the past few years," he said. Shawexplained that the UW System is "making no value statements that we're better than (any other system) or Viceversa," but pointed out the fact that It the UW Sys- tem does not remain competi- tive In its salaries, they will loseInstructors. Kenneth Shaw The faculty catch-up plan is going to be felt by students because although it appears as a line item funded only by a third of tuition monies, lt is a costiy item. Shaw said, "I think it has been made clear to the State Legisiature that if we do not get a competitive pay plan, we will fail be- hind." In addition to the compen- sation pay plan, Shaw said the System has been "overly frugal" in the areas of sup- plies and equipment in previ- ous budgets, He said he could easily justify increases of $40 million or more to catch up in those areas. Shaw feels that over the next ten years, the ,System budget will need in- creases in all areas.

"Anyone who has seen the Christmas tree in the Ranger office can easily uhderstand why Santa would chose this spot to stop and check on all the good boys and girls at Parkside." It's that time of year again, and Santa has made his annu- al stop at the Ranger office. Similar to the past few years, Santa forgot to take his list with him when he left. Seeing as the jolly, red-clad fellow has to be nearing the age of 2000, you can't knock him. Anyway, the following are a few excerpts from the Park- side Christmas want list and Santa's notes that were left behind, PSGA's .anti-racism rally a success by KeWe PaccagneUa Students, staff, faculty, and distinguished guests gathered at Parkslde for a rally &gaInstracism on Dec. 7.

He, also believes that Parkslde's reaction to the lit- arature and the people who distributed it serves as an ex- ample that any other attempt to bring racism into Parkside will be looked down upon. "Because of them and their literature, lt is now well known that Parkside will not tolerate the cancer of racism in our commumity, in our society, and in our world." Lewandowski stated.

As is tradition at this particular time of the year, final exams are about to 'commence. Due to the fact that the editor Is studying, there will be no editorial this week. In- .stead, from the editor's mail bag, a poem. Good luck on finals and happy holidays. A heart Is not a plaything, A heart Is not a toy. But If you want It broken, just giye it toa boy. They have to play with things to see what makes them run . and when it comes to kissing, they do it just for fun. Boys never give their hearts away, they play us girls for fools; they wait until we give our hearts, and then they play it cool. You wonder where he is at night, you wonder if he's true. One minute you'll be happy, the next YOU'llbe blue. When you go to see him, your heart begins to dance. Your heart revolves around him. There's nothing like romance. And then it starts to happen, you worry day and nlght. You see, my friend, you're losing him. It never turns out right. Love Is fun, but It hurts too much, The price you pay Is high. If I had a choice of love or death, I think I'd rather die, When I say don't fall in love, YOU'llbe sorry before you're through, You see, my friend, r ought to know. I fell in love with you. My heart Is yours forever, I hope you understand I thought that when I gave my heart, I gave it to a man. King tapes to play at UW-P .

Distributor of racist lit. responds Editor's Nate: Though the following letter did not meet the specifica- tions for a letter-to-the-editor (It was unsigned), we have chosen to publish it. The rea- son Is simple. This incident has received a great deal of media attention. In the jour- nallstic pursuit of presenting all sides of an issue. we deemd this letter worth pub. IIshing. It should be noted that the Ranger, in no way, supports racism or racist activities. To the Editor:· I am the person who re- cently distributed the lltera- ture of a racial nature at trw-e. 1 too" was shocked;' prima- 'rily by the reaction created by my (attempted) exercise of freedom of speech. An honest headiine for the Kenosha News would have been "RED GUARDS SET RALLY TO PROTEST THOUGHT CRIMES". In the Racine paper It should have been: "FUROR CREATED OVER . EXERCISE OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AT UNIVERSITY" . I was quite bemused by the verse stating that the hand. outs were confiscated •'be- cause they were not from a registered student or commu- nity group". Does this remind you the Soviet Union where only "registered (puppet) churches" are allowed to con- duct activities? To re-assure the reading audience that it Is not freedom of speech that Chancellor Kaplan Is attack- Ing, It is restated; "A regis- tered group that meet uw requlremnts for leafleting would not be prohibited ... " Elaine Miller is more to the point when she said; "There Is no place for this ... In soci- ety". Is there any place in your society for the U.S. Con- stitution Elaine? I was not aware that the Constitution contained any re- quirements about registering the the UW system in order to exercise freedom of speech. All this- on' the setting -of a" university. For shame. I was educated to believe that unl- versities were public forums, with license to explore diver. gent views arid ideas In an at- mosphere free of dogmatic fanaticism. . Come now, the leaflets were confiscated because their content differed from the universities doctrinaire obsession on race. The dictionary defines a bigot as... "A person ... who Is intolerant of those who dif- fer with him". I accuse UW-P officials of being bigots. I recall the Soviet Union's notorious attempts to estab- IIsh Lysenko's theory of he- redity. and its condemnation of Mendel's teaching, as the only correct conclusions to be drawn from research on genetics. The present system llkewlse puts forward certain scientific and social doctrines as the only correct ones, and quite obviously expects them to receive general endorse. ment as such. Freedom. of In. quiry Is imperilled when any findings .or opinions are ele- vated, by the authoritative body, into the position of doc- trines. So now the studenls are planning a Red Guard-style protest rally. How many of the students protesllng on December 7 will have had the opportunity to read theIttera- ture for which they are pro- testing? Isn't It Ironic; stu- dents protesting against ideas they have not been allowed to consider for themselves. In the event of. a protest, it should be against university authorlltes for censorship. In a day and age when the rank- est pornographic filth can be purchased at nearly every corner store, It Is amazing to find that the topic of race is •'off Iimtts" ; SUbject to "though pollce" jurisdiction.
