AI; a political science professor and Public Service Internship Program (PSIP) coordinator he has launched intern positions with local agencies, extend- ing from Chicago to Milwaukee. The program, which is not exclusive to political science majors, places Parkside stu- dents in positions such as with a Cook County judge or Channel 2 reporter in Chicago, the office of U.S. Congressman Mark Neumann, the Milwaukee offices of U.S. Senators Russell Feingold and Herb Kohl, or southeastern Wisconsin newspapers like Kenosha News, Racine Journal Times, or The Milwaukee Journal . Interns are also available through local district attorneys' offices and Kenosha and Racine police ·departments. Geared towards juniors and seniors, interested stu- dents should fill out an application in Molinaro 367 not less than six weeks before the beginning of the semester that the internship will occur. - At least a C+ average is needed and the applicant must not be on academic pro- bation. Placement is figured through an interview process at various agencies; some placements will require a course in political science. Though up to 12 credits can be earned, 3 to 6 credit hours is normal, depending on how many hours worked. Most of the intern positions are unpaid, and the paid ones are usually in the sum- mer months. The PSIP program has a two-fold purpose. Students are getting jobs as a result of the internship and are "edu- cating some of these agencies about students," said Pernacciaro. In some cases, interns have been awarded scholar- ships to law schools and grad schools from their internship site. "You're getting practical experience, picking up skills and getting recommenda- tions," said Pernacciaro. II Ex staff member attacks Education Dean Shade ing has been done" about Shade, stating that the administration has ignored . complaints about her. Regarding the whistler- blower complaint, Waller indicated that there are "money damages" involved and said, "I wonder how much they can afford to be awful." Beth Adelson, a former Parkside Education student , stated, "Personally dealing with Dr. Shade ...I never had any problems. "I'm disturbed and con- cerned by the loss of so many wonderful professors ...there are great professors who are now gone. And I wonder why these good 'teachers are leav- ing," Adelson said. Adelson also spoke about the decision not to send stu- dent teachers to rural Kenosha and Racine schools "They talk about diversity, ' but they're only sending stu- dents to one kind of school." "Some of my best experi- ences were in schools with only ten percent minority," Adelson said. "I believe students that are going to be teachers ...need to see multiple types," said Gale Ryczek, Superintendent ofthe Bristol Consolidated School district. Ryczek indi- cated that he had been told by Shade that their schools were not "multi culturally diverse" and student teach- ers would no longer be placed there. "Our culture is diverse," Ryczek said, "we have kids that speak a number of dif- ferent languages in their homes." Despite the placement decision, Ryczek states that Shade "called and wanted to know why I hadn:t contacted, her." Otherwise, Ryczek said, "My dealings with them (Education Department) have been fantastic." Some current Education Department students have stated their dissatisfaction with Shade, but asked not to be interviewed. Many expressed fear that speaking against Shade would lead to retaliation and possible expulsion from the Teacher Education Program . A male student who pre- ferred not to be identified , described meeting with Shade in an impromptu meeting. "She threw a curve ball at me," he said. He states that he was informed his GPA was not adequate for the program and that complaints had been filed against him. The student then reported checking his record to find that it was clean and that his GPA was "in good shape," he said. The matter is cur- rently pending consideration with Vice Chancellor Ostheimer and the student is considering seeking legal counsel. "Dean Shade basically does whatever she wants to do...there is no collaboration there is no democracy and ' that's how I felt when I was there," Adelson said. A phone message was left for Shade requesting an interview, but no reply has been received.
