Lyall further stated how important it is to pro- vide students with an educational experience in a "timely fashion." Students must also receive rea- sonable access to classes, library resources, student housing, acad- emic advising, counseling, and financial assistance. Her speech discussed ways of increasing enrollment by reach- ing out to more people outside of the community, especially to high school graduates and return- ing adult students. All UW- System universities can increase enrollment provided that the quality of education is not jeop- ardized, she added. Nit we con- tinue this, colleges and institu- tions around the nation will fol- low our lead and example." The Education Committee pro- posed a resolution (Assumptions and Principles For Enrollment Management ill-Planning Toward The Year 2000) addressing the steadily increasing high school students that have reached a his- toric high of 32 percent. A main principle of the resolution stated that "a proportion of projected enrollment demand will be accommodated without addition- al resources only when educa- tional quality is not jeopardized. When faced with a choice between maintaining educational quality within budgetary con- straints or providing access for students, the priority will be on quality." . The resolution also stated that "beginning in 1995, the number of high school graduates is pro- jected to increase steadily to the end of the century and beyond. A third phase of Enrollment Management, planning to the continued on pg 2 On Thursday, February 10, the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System held the first meeting of the year to discuss several resolutions, policies, and principles which will affect students, professors, and administrators at all UW- branches. UW-Parkside Interim Chancellor John Stockwell, Interim Provost/vice Chancellor Howard Cohen, and student John Stockwell Steven Moore attended the Education Committee which began with comments from the UW-System President Katherine Lyall. She stated how important and crucial it isto involve the students, parents, legislators, chancellors, faculty, and admin- iSlrators alike in "stretching the quality of education beyond the normal realms." With budget and financial con- I straints, Lyall continued, we must by Matthew Specht Assistant Feature Editor Every two years, the student body is presented with a referen- dum on the ballot. In this referen- dum, students decide whether or not to remain members of United Council. If the student body votes to be members, a seventy-five cent membership fee is added to you r semester bill. So what exacdy is United Council? Their latest constitution- al draft defines themselves as a "coalition of student governments whose purpose is representation of the rights and educational issues of UW System students through active involvement at all levels of government" To putthatin English, u.c. makes sure UW students know what's going on in state govern- ment as well as representing us. They meet roughly once a month, and Parkside tries to send seven voti ng delegates every time. Friday evenings, the sepa- rate committees meet Saturday mornings, the General Assembly meets. This weekend, there was an opening in the delegation, and I was fortunate enough to be able to go along. The rest of the dele- gation consisted of Eric Bovee, PSGA President (Presidents' Committee); Deb Cutler, PSGA senator (Executives' Committee); Mike Schaefer, PSGA senator (Academic Affairs Committee); Jennifer Buchholz (Women's Issues Committee); Dana Larsen, PSGA senator (Legislative Affairs Committee); and Mike Bovee (Shared Governance Committee). I admit that at first, I was apprehensive. A senator had given me the distinct impression earlier in the week that UW-P representation was of secondary importance on these trips; the real reason for going along was to get as drunk as possible. Well, my fretting was in vain. Instead of loud, obnoxious par- ties iasting through the night, groups of people gathered in hotel lobbies and corridors while discussing current issues. These students were intent on changing the UW system for the better- people actually cared and got involved. Friday night, i attended the Multicultural Affairs Committee. I was du Iy impressed by the fervor with which statistics were reviewed and decisions were made. Likewise, the General Assembly-although muddied by loads of political mumbo- jumbo-was filled to the rafters with people who jumped into what they were doing with ener- gy and optimism. One thing kept bothering me, though. Does UW-Parkside's stu- dent body know what's going on? Do they even care? The answer appears to be no, but it should be yes. Prepare to be informed. A resolution was just passed to allow for the release of a summa- ry of the resu Its of the students' evaluation of a teacher to the entire student body. These evalu- ations will also be used to influ- ence faculty promotions and salaries. Also passed were three bi lis that are to be sent to Wisconsi n legislation. Assembly Bill 1109 and its companion bill, Senate Bill 500, create a Board of Regents Nominating Council that would recommend 3 to 5 persons to the Governor for vacant Board positions. This bill would help create better representation on the Board of Regents. Instead of the Governor having complete control, he could only choose from this committee's recommen- dations. The last bill, Assembly Bill 33, is one that every student at UW- Parkside should be aware of and support. It is entitled the Undergraduate Tuition Cap Bill. This bill would cap undergradu- ate tuition in the UW system at 33% of instructional cost for in- state students and at 120% for out-of-state students. This is going to help restrain tuition increases and force UW system to bring in funding from other areas. It would also put a burden on the UW system to justify any increases in tuition. Since any increase above 33% would require a change in the law, it would be much more difficult to raise tuition (especially since U.c. has some say in state legis- lation). Obviously, a lot is going on in the United Council. If you feel a need to attend any U.c. delega- tion, feel free to contact PSGA President Eric Bovee or Vice President Bruce Rocco. Also, be su re to keep an eye on the Ranger for future events. It is obvious that you, as a student body, need to keep abreast of legislation-both at the state and campus level.

Sanchez News Editor On February 26, approximately 1SO high and middle school stu- dents wi II come together to take part in the Fourth Annual Multi- cultural Quiz Bowl, which will be held at UW-Parkside from B a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Union. Sponsored by the UW-Parkside PreCollege Program's Cultural Awareness Leadership Council (CALC), the integral questions of the Quiz Bowl will be focusing on the achievements and attain- ments of people of color through- out the arts, education, govern- rnent, business, sports, and sci- ences. CALC is an organization that offers students of color acad- emic support programs and activ- ities throughout the year, and here they are providing several students the opportunity to express their knowledge of facts about individuals of diverse backgrounds and their historical accomplishments in various fields. The schools that will be partic- ipating in the Multi-cultural Quiz Bowl are: from Racine, Case High School, Horlick High School, Walden III High School, Washington Park High School, Gilmore Middle School, Jerstad Middle School, McKinley Middle School, Mitchell Middle School, and Starbuck Middle School; and Kenosha's Bradford High School, Tremper High School, Bullen Junior High School, Lance Junior High School, Lincoln Junior High School, McKinley Junior High School, and Washington Junior High School. "The Quiz Bowl," said lynn Mason, one of the coordinators of the event, "provides students in Racine and Kenosha with a chance to come together on both academic and social levels." Mason, along with Dawn Bradke and Joann Allain, are assistant Support Services supervisors who are coming together to coordi- nate the Quiz Bowl. Trophies and certificates will be bestowed on the winners of the Quiz Bowl, and the students that will be participating in it have been preparing all year with their teachers and UW-Parkside mentors. They will be given the chance to show thei r knowledge and win the contest on February 26, 1994. If you need more infonnation, call the Uw- Parkside School of Education at 595-2569. 2 Regents, continued from pg. 1 year 2000, must therefore take into careful account a broad range of operating assumptions about the future environment for higher education: the probable demand for university services, the expected level and flexibility of funding, the changing compo- sition and needs of the student body, the technological innova- tions and physical plantlimita- tions, and the public expectations for effectiveness and efficiency." Regent Paul Schilling had some skepticism about the resolution; he mentioned that we must be extremely cautious in our efforts to increase enrollment because we may not continue to have enough support for the additional students. "We must have strong commitment from legislators, if we continue to receive more stu- dents," he said. Increasing the numbers of students might have a drastic affect on the quality of education they receive, he added. "There's only so much money that we have ...we must have the money to do it." Senior Vice President Stephen Porch stated that the Board of Regents have demonstrated that if the enrollment increases, quality will not hamper. "If the quality of education goes down/ then we will have to readjust our poli- cies." Another item discussed at the Education Committee meeting was the lateral Review of Teacher Education Programs. The consultants of the Teacher Education Lateral Review, asked the UW System Administration to create a Master Plan for teacher education that "would focus on high priority, mission-related bachelor's and master's programs taking into consideration state and regional needs, supply and demand data, quality, cost effec- tiveness and available resources." The consultants have found that a vast array of programs are common across the UW system. These dupl ication of programs have resulted to an imbalance of supply and demand. Because of this, the University of Wisconsin System Administration and the institutions will respond to these recommendations. Itwas also stated that "by 1995, the Board of Regents will be presented with a Master Plan that encompasses the issues presented by the consul- tants." The Board of Regents also dis- cussed a research report of degrees conferred during the last academic year. The report reveals that "in the last academic year Ouly 1992 to June 1993), University of Wisconsin System institutions conferred 27,661 degrees, the highest number ever." The following and Infor- mation figures are highlights from the yearly report: • At the bachelor's level, the same discipline areas continue to rank among the top three. • Business management & administrative services, educa- tion, and social sciences consti- tuted 44.1 percent of all bache- lor's degrees conferred by UW institutions in 1992-93. • Business management & administrative services ranked as the number one discipline area throughout the 1980's and into the 1990's. Peaking in 198B-89 at 4,304 degrees, it still account- ed for almost 20 percent (4,094) bachelor's degrees awarded in 1992-93. After experiencing rapid growth beginning in 1985- 86, bachelor's degrees in the social sciences surpassed educa- tion degrees for second place in 1990-91, with 2,84B degrees conferred in 1992-93. Education programs produced 2,154 bache- lor's degrees in 1992-93. • One in three master's degrees is in education. • UW System institutions con- ferred 5,109 master's degrees in 1992-93. Approximately one third of all master's level degrees continue to be awarded in edu- cation (1,694), a proportion that has changed very little over time. Ranking second, business man- agement & administrative service (mainly MBA's) peaked in 1964- 85 at 649 and dropped back to 773 degrees by 1992-93. o largest number of doctoral degrees awarded is in engineer- ing. o The two UW System doctoral institutions conferred 771 doctor- al degrees in 1992-93; 676 at UW-Madison and 95 at UW- Mi Iwaukee. Approximately 16.0 percent of all doctoral degnees are in engineering (127). TIed for second was education and life sciences with 95 degrees award- ed in each of these disciplines. Physical sciences and social sci- ences ranked third and fourth respectively with 89 and 87 degrees awarded. The balance of the doctoral degrees were widely dispersed among the remaining 1B disciplines. • Women continue to make gains in their number and pro- portionate share of degrees awarded. • Women earned 54 percent of all degnees in 1992-93, and earned higher proportions of degrees than men at the master's (56.2%), bachelor's (54.2%) and associate (57.9%) levels. • The proportion of degrees going to minority students has increased again. o Of the 27,861 total degrees awarded by the UW System in 1992-93, 1,301 were awarded to rmnority students. Tho' .... ~ increase in degrees conferred for r minorities was at the bachelor's level with 933 degrees awarded in t992-93 compared to 812 in 1991 -92. An increase was also Ii' seen at the doctoral level, from : I 41 in 1991-92 to 48 in 1992093 I At the master's level the number· of degrees decreased slightly from 248 in 1991-92 to 241 in I 1992-93. , Every year, the President of the' I UW-System invites one student j leader from each university to a ' formal dinner at her house, the i Brittingham Mansion.
