UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document .~If' 'University of Wisconsin-Parks ide UW-Parkside reservists face real chance of being in war Dan Chiappetta News Editor With American troops con- tinuing to increase in the Persian Gulf, the UW-System bas made a policy concerning the possibility of students, faculty, and staff who may be called to active duty. There lire at least 37 uw- Parlcsidestudents known to be re- servists, according to UW- Parlcside's Registrar Office. The UW-System policy states that in the event that any student is called to active military duty, he or she shall be issued a 100 percent refund of all fees paid except for room and board. This includes admission deposits, advanced reg- islration fees, academic fees, seg- regated fees, special course fees and any other fee of this nature. The policy emphasizes that if a student is called to active duty before the beginning of the aca- demic term, 100 percent of room andboardsbould berefunded. Mter thebeginningofthe academic term, the refund should be based upon the unused portion of the fee. This policy only applies to students who are reservists !bat are called to ac- live duty, not students who volun- tarily enlist. DonPran~,aUW-~bille junior and an Army reservist, is hoping the crisis in the Persian Gulf will come to a "peaceful" solution. "For the numbers of troops in the Middle East, and the hostility between theUnited States and Iraq, it's just a matter of time before armed conflict," said Prange. Gabe Kluka, a UW·~bide senior, spent two years in active dutyandhasbeenanArmyreservist for the past three years. Kluka belongs to the 822nd Military Po- lice Company in Rosemont, illi- nois. Kluka believes his chance of going to the Persian Gulf is fair. "There has been no defmite contact, but therebave beenrumors around the company," said Kluka. Prange, 24, has been in Army Reserves for almost four years, spending two years on active duty. He belongs to the 2-338, 85th Division(Tm) in Waukegan, Illi- nois. Prange believes his chance of going to the Middle East is low. "With my unit, the possibility is slim. My unit is a training unit and its mission is to train soldiers," stated Prange. The thoughtofgoing to thehot desert of Saudi Arabia worries Kluka. "It scares me, and tbe idea of - being put in an environment like that makes me nervous. Cbemical weapons scare me more than nuclear weapons. Youdon'tknow tbey're tbere," stated Kluka. Prange, with the help of a couple of UW -Parksidestudents who have relatives stationed in Saudi Arabia, is trying to put to- gether a letter-writing campaign for the 197th Infantry Brigade. "We want to place drop boxes all over campus where students can write letters to soldiers in the I97th Infantry Brigade," said Prange. "It doesn't need a stamp, just place tbem in the drop boxes: We'll collect them and and send tbem to Saudi Arabia. Prange explains the impor- tance of writing letters to tbe sol- diers. "I know how important it is to . get aletter. Even if it's just to say 'hi. what's up'," said Prange. '-It's your lifeline back to the states." Prange is a molecular biology major and Kluka is a math and drama major. "I'm not afraid to go if they call me. It's what's going to hap- pen to my life iftbey do call me that worries me," said Kluka. "If shooting docs start, I'd be gone within 24 hours." Offcampus housing provides analternative to Residence Halls' I By J. A. Bromstad Staff Writer The problem with UW- Parlcside'shousing is notatall what you may think it is. The original thoughtwas that students were be- . ingterribly inconvenienced. It was Iaterlearned that the inconvenience lay in the lap of the bureaucracy- the means by which this episode of inadequate housing will not soon end.

On February 13, 1990, the Faculty Senate passed a new drop policy stating that a smdent who drops a course during or after the fifth week of the semester will receive a iranscripmotation of "W" for that course. The "WOOstands for withdrawal. The new policy takes effect in the Fall of 1991, so if you're a senior, you den't have anything ID worry about. but if you're not, you will have some heavy decision-making IDdo when next fall arrives. The PIrbide Student Government Association did everything in ilS power ID block this policy from heing implemenred. Members ofPSGA collected over700 signatureS and presented them ataFaculty Senate meeting. Former PSGA President Om Prange said thal the Senate virtually ignored the signamres, He also stated that they didn't seem ID care what the students had ID say. If anything, this will definitely put pressure on the studenlS. The faculty responded that swdents sbouId know their progress in a class by the end of the fourth week. Yeah, right! I can't remember having aclass where I had a t.est or quiz heforethe sixth week.This new policy that takes place will still allow students ID drop until the eighth week. In the case of a module or summer class the "WOO _lion will appear if the class is dropped after the one-third mark. The new add policy will go inlDeffect in the spring of 1991.

Letter to the Editor: Whensomethingcon~ia1 arises and it's dealing WI!'! black and white I always seem to ob- serve the ~egro complaining about unfairness. The reason why I know is becauserm one of those uppity negroes. Forexample, when I came to register for my college courses. I wanted to study a history course. The course I had in mind was a subject in Black History. So I tell the counselor I would like a Black History course and he tells me it doesn't exist in the UW system. I say to myself. well why is that? Anyway. he offers me American History, and being the versitile brother that I am.I take the course. But tell me something, we pay our dividends for school just like the majority students. No matter if it's scholarships, grants. loans. or Mama and Daddy. So why can't we learn someihUig about our heritage as wel1.I'm IliiI blaming the Professorsor slUdems, but maybe the Dean of the SChcoi could do something or tell the llli nority students something. . A lot of black students ha discussed this matter among~ selves, but I just decided to bring 'I in the open. When you read ~ don'tbebiased:keepanopenmilll. I know some people will sayI'ma racist but that's far from realily, Oh yeah, if I'm not asking for too much, how about a little sou! food in the cafeteria once in a while <at least during Black History Month).
