An interview with Teri Jacobson, PSGA candidate Coleen Tartaglia Editor-in-Chief I. What's the first thing you'd do about the lack of minority professors? It depends on who's brought here as Chancellor. Through the Search & Screen Committees, we've learned tech- niques that other campuses use, like a wide National pool of candidates. However, the worst problem we have is the atmosphere here at Parkside. The rea- son why minorities have left is the treat- ment they get from their peers on cam- pus. They feel very unwanted by their peers and leave for that reason. I would also like to include students on these issues. However, students need to be serious about this. Some of them start an issue and don't finish through with it and that makes the issue loose its legitimacy. It'll attract attention if concerns are con- stant and not sporadic. Students must set these goals and do it step-by-step. First they need to establish a Student Board. Then decide to what percentage they want minority professors and staff to be in ratio to the number of students. This can be done if students are willing to start their own Student Board Committee. 2. What changes have you made since becom ing president? In the past, presidents have been closed off from the students and unapproach- able. That's one of the first changes I made, I am more approachable and I like my desk to be in the main office with the other senators. I also wanted to be more involved in as many issues as I can, so I'm voluntarily on more committees than my presidential duty requires. I'm quite often asked to be on committees. not because of my status, but because I'm frank with them. I also lobbied for the Physical Education building expansion, and the Tuition Award Program,(TAP) which enables about 200 students a year from Illinois to attend UWP without paying out-of-state tuition. 3. How long have you been involved with PSGA? About five years. I worked my way up the ladder, I've done many jobs but my main ones are senator, pro-temp and president. 4. Students seem disinterested in PSGA. Why should they care? Because students need to know what their money is being spent on. $1.6 mil- lion a year is collected from the students. PSGA also affects every aspect of a stu- dent's best interests. From course offer- ings, parking, keeping library resources current, technology resources current, funding bus service so students can get to school, to making sure financial aid is equal to educational costs. Students also have a say when contracts are up, for example: Students wanted healthier food choices, so we had Marriot install a com- puter in the cafeteria that shows fat, calo- ries, etc., of the foods they choose to eat. PSGA also deals directly with every day campus life, academics, extracurricular activities, environmental issues and jobs. 5. How do you get the administration to react to issues that students are con- cerned about? If students are seriously concerned and committed, the aommistration will take the issues more seriously. Many students take up issues "for the moment". Administration won't do anything unless students take the issues seriously. 6. Where do you see UWP in the year 2000? At the very least, one member from an under-represented group in each adminis- trative office, being over the enrollment crisis, residential expansion with more dorms, and since many people in the Parkside area are alumni, more graduate level courses so they can further their BA degrees. I'd really like to see the Union building expanded, to put all clubs and organizations in one area, with a large place for meetings and conferences. That would also bring more money into UWP because the public can rent the meeting rooms. Lastly, I'd like to see the Physical Education expansion finished! Study Tour to the People's Republic of China Amanda Bulgrin Editor-in-Chief Xun (George) Wang, of the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide Department of Sociology/Anthropology will conduct a summer Study Tour to the People's Republic of China from June 24 to July 7, 1998. The study tour will begin with eight two-hour lectures. The first of the 6-8 p.m. lectures will be on Tuesday, May 18, with the classes continuing on Tuesday and Thursday evenings I,ead- ing up to the trip. In the lectures, students will learn about the geography, culture and' social institutions of China in the twentieth century. Planned for the trip to China are visits to Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Suzhou/Hangzhou, Guilin, and Guangzhou. The group will come back to the States via Hong Kong. Instructor of the course, Wang, is a native of China who speaks the language and has vast experience with world trav- el. In addition to his 30 year residence in China, Wang directed an exchange project with the People's University of China in 1996. International Studies 290/490 and .Sociology/Anthropology 290/490 are being offered to students and members of the community with no prerequisites. Knowledge of the language is not neces- sary, due to the fact that Wang is a fluent speaker of the language and English speaking tour guides will be provided. Wang stated the many reasons for taking a course of this nature, "We are entering the twenty first century and there is a need to learn other cultures." He continued by saying, "China has one fifth of the population of the world and has the fastest growing economy. Many local corporations have 0ll.ened in China, for example: Johnson Wax, Chrysler, and Westing House, this leads to many job opportunities." The course can be taken to fill BOK, Sociology/Anthropology, International Studies, or for independent study. It will entail a written paper in which the length . will vary due to the course. The cost of the trip is $2,800 which covers visa fee, round-trip international airfare from Chicago to China, domestics travels in China, accommodations, three meals/day and guest lectures in China.
