"We got three-fou rt hs," said Streeter, referring to the amount of by Karen Diehl and Nick Zahn Ranger Staff Eleanor Smith was inaugurated as fourth chancellor at UW-Parkside on Saturday, April I. The ceremony took place in the Comm. Arts Theater. At the ceremony, Smith was presented with a sterling silver medallion. The medallion, a symbol of the office she was taking, was presented to her by Katherine Lyall, president of (he UW System. The ceremony not only presented Uw-Parkside with a new chancellor. but also a new alma mater. The music to the song was composed by Dr. Frank Mueller, professor of music, while the words were written by Patrick McGuire, English professor. The university had no alms mater before this. "The alma mater's words and music are absolutely appropriate see Chancellor, page 2 Chancellor Smith greets a line of well-wishers Saturday at her inauguration.

Diane Welsh, assistant director of student life stated that the committee was "pretty diverse ...and could not come La a specific consensus aboutwhat should be done." "On one side of the issue someone representing athletics and the athletic board whose primary interest is in "cruitrnent.i.ano then on the other side there's the chairperson of the segregated fee allocation committee and myself as an advisor to the committee, whose primary focus is on the equity of the issue," Welsh said. Welsh described some of the feedback received at the public forums, "What we did hear from the StUdent athletes was that financial Package alone isn't usually the only factor in deciding where to go to SChool. It's also the reputation of the athletic team, the coach, the academic programs offered hear" .." There was also the suggestion that, "perhaps there would be a possibility of offering some waivers ...if it really is important for recruitment maybe we will pay for 25, or 30, or 40 waivers to recruit star athletes and divide it by gender." The good athletes could still have their tuition wavered, but would have to pay their own fees. "When you pay tuition you really pay a third of the cost of your instruction, the state is paying two- thirds ... so if you're an athlete we wouldn't get your third, but we still get the two-thirds. For segregated fees we don't get any, which means our costs are still the same," however, the other students pay the student athlete's portion of the fees, according to Welsh. If the segregated fees policy is changed the committee did agree that they wouldn't change the rules for students who had already been recruited under the current policy. "If we charge athletes student fees ...it could decrease your student fees by about twenty dollars a year, or, without an increase, it could add about $60,000 into that pool," Welsh said. Chancellorls House no more Now to be University House Rumors. "You heard, [but] you didn't come to me," said Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith. Rumors about closing the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) have been persistent, and they have inspired a rally, a meeting, and a whole lot of ribbons. OMSA may suffer reorganization as a result of the budget cuts, which have yet to be announced. A BnRC (Budget and Review Committee) proposal dated February 28, stated, "Office of Multicultural Student Affairs: It appears as jf a number of functions previously performed by this office have been to other areas i.e. advising and pre- college program. Staffing efficiencies may be realizable by combining functions." A. Anthony Flores, member of PSGA and HOP (Hispanic Organization at Parkside) saw a copy of a draft proposal to this effect.

It will be separate from the current dorms, but still serve as vital space for potential new students. This proposal was the foundation, the core, for the other two proposals. Without the Building Commission's approval of the dorm expansion, the outlook would be grim, but this fear has subsided {Q a point. "The Building Commission was a big hurdle," said Streeter, but even though the proposal will now go before the General Assembly and the Senate of Wisconsin, he said that "we're very confident at this point." The Building Commission consisted of Governor Thompson. a citizen member by the name of Bryce Styza, serving as the citizen's watchdog. appointed by Thompson. and six senators and representatives from Wisconsin, also appointed by Thompson; Sen. Brian Rude, chair of The Higher Education subcommittee. Rep. Sheryl Albers, from the subcommittee, Sen. Fred Risser. from the Administrative Affairs Committee, Sen. Carol Buettner, from the same committee, and Rep. Carl Due, from the same committee too. "Considering the tightness of the governor's budget, the University fared well in the Building Commission's deliberation," quoted Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith from a press release. "Additional student housing is critical to the growth of the University .... Area legislators, alumni, and community support were instrumental in influencing the commission." An architect for the new resident halls will be pursued immediately. Streeter wanted to assign an architect for this project last fall, but The Department of Administration (DOA) wanted to wait and find out what the Building Commission's decision was first. When the design phase is finished, the project will be reviewed and given final authorization. Even though the dorm expansion 'is targeted for completion by 'he FalJ of 1997, Senator Kohl donates gift for UW- Madison arena Senator Herb Kohl gave $25 million to the construction of UW-Madison's new basketball sports arena. The donation is the largest gift ever received by the UW System. Kohl's gift, according to UW officials, is vital to the building of the new arena, which will cost $72 million to complete. $27 million dollars was approved for the arena earlier in the week by the building commission. The remaining $20 million will need to be raised. The arena will be used mainly for basketball, but will also accommodate other sports events such as ice hockey. Kohl mentioned that he hoped the arena would assist the basketball program, especially in recruiting. Kohl, who attended Uw-Madtson in the 1950's is the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, and is among the wealthiest of the US senators. Chancellor, continued from page 1 of UW-Parkside since May of 1994. She had been vice president for academic affairs at William Paterson College of New Jersey. Smith replaced Sheila Kaplan who left in 1993. John Stockwell served as the interim chancellor from 1993-1994. Asked why the inauguration took place a little less than a year after she became chancellor, Smith explained that she didn't want to have the ceremony in October of last year as planned. She wanted to know the campus better. cheapest, classiest one that l've ever seen." And this wasn't just a social event, said Smith. "Keeping our mission in mind; Bringing Racine and Kenosha communities to Parkside and Parkside to the Racine and Kenosha communities. " The official ceremony followed the Friday night performance of "Black Heritage: History I Music and Dance," a multi-media performance which Smith created as part of her work towards her doctorate. Smith became has been chancellor for our institution and location," said Smith With budget cuts threatening many areas at the university level, it was voiced by some that $17,000 was too much to pay for an inauguration. "I could hire a couple of people on what what they are spending on this," said one administrator. "I've seen people pay hundreds of thousands for inaugurations," said ~mith. "$\7,000 for that is nothing. Many bring in guest speakers and last Sunday through Monday. We kept it as simple as possible. This was the OMSA, continued from page 1 you. At Johnson Wax, for instance, there is no circle just for women, just for African Americans, just for Hispanics, just for Asian Americans. There is one circle: the Johnson Wax circle .... Eventually, we want to make [this university} one big circle that is a teaching and learning environment." Smith also told the group of the budget-cutting process. "To date, the Administrative Council has not decided," she said. "We just got a figure to deal with." "When we cut the budget, we may not keep it [OMSA} as it is," said Smith. The Administrative Council is composed of Smith, Marilyn Foster Kirk, William Streeter, Gary Grace and Howard Cohen. The council must complete the budget process by April 15. When it does, Smith reassured those assembled that they would not hear about il through channels or rumor. "I will inform you ... about our recommendations." Objections will not be accepted then, but a chance to do so will be allowed at open meetings to discuss the budget. and "it's not in our hands [yet}," as he said, he still feels that positive answers are in store for the future of Parkside. The Phy Ed. expansion's proposal got half of what it wanted - providing nearly half of the original $9.1 million proposal, The project will require $3.8 million in general state- funded borrowing and $670,000 from non-Slate sources. The $4.465 million project does not include a new field house, wrestling combau ves , and more storage space, but it does offer renovations and some new constructions. Among these renovations will be completely remodeled locker rooms that will be bigger and better - accommodated for the new field house when it is eventually built. A co-ed training room will be outside of the men's and women's locker rooms and a whirlpool. A full-size weight room, a dance studio/aerobic fitness room, and three new classrooms will be built as part of some of the new constructions, as well as a new mechanical room for monitoring heating and air conditioning units. This first phase of an overall project will be built to accommodate a hopeful Phase II construction of a field house in the future. Because "phase one doesn't sol ve all the instructional needs or the high demand for open space that a field house can provide," a press release quoted Linda Draft, Director of Athletics, saying, she does "plan to pursue funding for the field house vigorously in the next biennium." According to Streeter, everythirig anticipated for the three phases of food service on this campus ~ the remodeling of the Union Dinning Room servery, the Union Square bar area, and the food court in Lower Main Place - will occur. Plans are in motion. When asked if the construction for each project would be done all together or in stages, Streeter said that "we hope to have it done in cinch . We're going to shoot for the Fall of 1997," said Streeter, admitting that it is an ambitious deadline. "We're going to work hard." With an additional 400 students on campus, there will be a need for more lockers and space in the Phy Ed. building and a need for bigger and better accommodations of food service. "It's very exciting for the University," said Streeter, then informed me that in Parkside's 26 years, there has not been construction of this, or any magnitude, in twenty years - after the Union building was completed. Volunteer of the Week Students are selected as Volunteers of the Week because of their altruistic attitudes, the amount of time shared within the community and the positive impact their service has made in the lives of others. This week's volunteer is Julie Tishken. Julie Tishken is a senior majoring in Sociology with plans of being an elementary school teacher. She enrolled in the Parkside Volunteer Program in November 1994, when she began volunteering at Raymond School in the first grade classroom and at Racine Community Care Center helping in the activities department. Julie is also a member of the UW- Parkside Whale team that visits area schools. Most recently, she was a group aide at the Very Special Arts Festival that was held on campus during spring break. Dee Dee D' Amato, Activities Specialist, at the Racine Community Care Center thinks Julie is a wonderful volunteer. She reported, "Julie is a real good gall She seems interested in the residents and will often initiate things to do. Everyone likes her!" "The nursing home Julie Tishken experience has filled a void in my life, as 1 am not closely involved with my own grandparents." said Julie. "I enjoy learning about the residents and seeing their smiles." Julie has been able to compare the rural and urban schools as well as work closely with special education children. "I like the challenge of working with children with special needs. It makes me feel I can make a difference." Thank you Julie for being there for young and old alike. With you VOlunteering, everyone is a winner!
