Cook News Writer Majorcurriculum changes wi II be implemented for lbe Fall 1994 ocademic term, as a result of a carefully considered and crafted proposal submitted to UW- Parkside's Faculty Senate by the lith General -ducation Task Force, a As. campu -wide faculty committee. 186- Theproposal was unanimously approved and adopted at an April 20 Senate meeting. ~3() According to the Task Force clOr Proposal,''The Faculty of the Uni- l45 'crsily of Wiseon in-Parksidc is committed to providing opponuni- tes for undergraduate students to ~PI develop their analytical and prob- '" em-sotvmg kills, to develop un- en call delSlandings of theirs and other's 7). teltures and ethniciiies, 10 develop ilie skills and awareness necessary lorcitilens of an advanced techno- klgicalsociety, and todevelop hab- 1~ of mind that promote life-long learning, re ponsible action and mdependentthinking. The General Education Pro- gram at the University of Wiscon- sin-Parkside is a plan that incorpo- rates a variety of courses and ex pe- nences, designed collectively to fulfill the process and content prin- ciples noted above." . In order to more effectively Incorporate these goa-s into Parkside's curriculum, the Task Force suggests anum ber of changes. One of the most important changes proposed is a one credit Freshman Seminar. Its purpose is threefold, according to Dr. Arthur L. Dudycha, professor of business management and co-chair of Gen- eral Education Task Force. "The primary purpose of the Freshman Seminar is to assist Stu- dents in making a suecessful tran- sition to the University and to the. aeadem ic process. II will be de- signed 10 let students know what a collegeeducauon isall about., what they should expect to get out of it," explains Dudycha. Continued on Page?

Gaven DeGrave, upon reading the charges, gave the accused 10 10 15 seconds to make a statement in defence. The crowd was not moved to sympathy by anything the accused said. In fact, comments such as, "you are not worthy to suck the slime off my feet" and "I am not a crook" only prompted the masses to demand a swift chopping.

' African refugee problem discussed Marquita Hynes News Writer Are refugees from the New World Order or are they finding relief in the New World Order? Now that theCold War is over, more refugees are being pro- duced. Is the New World Order to blame? The Hom of Africa presentation on April 21 in Molinaro 107discussed thesedif- ficult questions. Dr. Terry Plater, African scholar and professor of urban planningatUW-Milwaukee,gave a two hour lecture and slide pre- sentation, which provided a fuller picture of lbe refugee problem. Allbough the program focused on lbe countries contained wilbin the horn of Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia,lbeSudanand Djibouti), Plater made it clear lbat any per- son in any cpuntry could become a refugee. She hopes that the atrocities occurring in Yugoslavia have made that point clear. "Refugees on television make us feel that they're always going to be like that. So, we then feel that we have no responsibility to them - that we can't help them," said Plater. However, she says, there are solutions 10 the refugee problem. Plater prefers local integration solutions. She believes that an orgaization in Ethiopia, staffed by Ethiopians, does a much better job at integrating refugees back into the country than does an outside organi- zation such as the United Nations. Not all outside help was criti- Ciled, however. UNICEF and Save lbe Children are two groups that she has been impressed with through her research and field work in Africa. The non- governmental agencies, according to Plater, are more personal, know lbe language of the country they are working in, and are deeply com- mutcdtosolving iheproblem. They do not want people to be perma- nent refugees. Refugees are people who flee their homeland due toenvironmen- tal and political reasons. "The real problem is Political and... the just distribution of resources," stressed Plater. Inlcuded in the political rea- sons for refugeeism were: inde- pendent struggles, internal ethnic conflict, class conflict, and inter- elite power struggles. Such com- plex reasons behind the problem are still solvable, believes Plater. Her knowledge of research materi- als dealing with lbe problem and lbe solutions are deLailed and ex- tensive, and she is readily willing to share her expertise wilb lbose who are interested in the subject.

Gauthier News Writer UW-Parks idecompleted this years' Disabilities Awareness Week acti,vities wilb ashortsemi- nar Thursday, describing the Americans With DisabilitiesAct, and a panel discussion on !:riday involving several disabled mem- bers bf lbe KenoshajRacinC'com- munity, a University alumni, and several UW-Parkside employees. Thursday afternoon's lecture on the Americans Wilh Disabi Iities Act was held in the library's second floor Overlook Lounge at3 p.m., and was given byBonnie Peterson, a member of theNatioal Federation of lbe Blind. Peterson, who is visually disabled, was an active panicipant in efforts supporting the passage of ADA leg- islation in Congress in 1989 and 1990. The presenLation, which was given before asmall group ofUW- Parks ide employees and students, focused mainly on the broader is- sues surrounding the act itself, and several of iis most imporLant provi- sions. Pelerson stressed the Act's emphasis on equality of opportu- nity, flexibility incompliance, and it'S foundation based upon com- promise with competing interests, Continued on Page 2 ______________ ------------- I Tns RASGER NEWS, Page 2 General ed requirement changed Continued from Page I "Its secondary purpose is to provide an orientation to the Uni- versity an awareness of services offered a guide to correct con- duct ... an understanding of poli-. cies and procedures." Its third pur- pose is to provide students with skills in "information literacy." Students will learn how to use the library, its resources and its elec- tronic data bases. "This component of theFresh- man Seminar will eventually come to replace the currently used li- brary Workbook," Dudycha states. Another significant change pro- posed by the Task Force is the discontinuation of English 102. " The research paper require- ment is being replaced with em- phasis on research and writing in breadth of knowledge courses and the majors," states the Proposal. Math 102, a general course de- signed for arts and humanities stu- dents will be introduced, as an al- ternative means of satisfying basic computational skills requirements. Dudycha hastens to add that "stu- dents already here will not be ef- fected by these changes." Current students will be ex- pected to fulfill the requirements of the catalogue from the year in which they entered. Asked about how these changes will be imple- mented, Dudycha admits, "There are always so many loose ends to a proposal like this. There are quite a number of items will that will need tobe clari- fied before full irnplementation takes place ... The general Aca- demic Steering Committee will have its work cut out for them." Disability Awareness Week Continued from Page 1 stating that the Act's intent was to "meet each other half way." Sensitive to vocal concerns over some of the legislation's more . controversial provisions, Peterson stated, "Noone isexpected to have all the answers ...there is space to experiment," further pointing out that "neither side is going to be completely satisfied" with the law. When questioned as to why there was a need for ADA, since most of its provisions already ex- isted insome form inother legisla- tion, she responded that ADA helped to organize "all of those elements under one resource," and that ADA provided a more formal process under which cases of dis- crimination could be resoJved. The final event, which oc- curred Friday afternoon in Union 104-106, was apanel of discussion with several members of the KenoshalRacine Disabled Commu- nity. Included among the panelists were a Kenosha businessman and political activist, a dental office secretary, a sales representative, and an accomplished criminal and business attorney. Present in the audience were Dr. William Streeter, Assistant Chancellor, Dale Wheeler, chemistry instructor.and several other University students and employees. Much of the discussion at the meeting was centered on the ac- complishments ofeach panel mern- ber, and how they hadeach learned tocope with and succeed inspite of ttheir disabilities. As phrased by Gerry Miller, the Kenosha attor- ney, "the only handicap is a bad attitude ...a disability does not have to be a handicap." Other points of interest dis- cussed included how other family members learn to cope with dis- abilities and a brief description of how someofthe ADA's new provi- sions would be affecting the Kenosha/Racine area. Soup and bread were served to attendees of the panel discussion, which was organized by Andrea Davis, a member of the college Committee for Disability Aware- ness Week.
