Including UW-Parkside students, over 425 campus leaders gathered from UW-Milwaukee, UW-Madison, UW- LaCrosse and UW-Stout. The event was sponsored by the Parkside Student GovemmentAssociation (PSGA), the Black Student Union (ESU) and Latino Unidos. The theme of the conference was build- ing diversity through understanding and education. In order to convey this message, the weekend was made up of classes, a dance, speakers from the surrounding com- munities and a final Rally for Diversity lead by Corey Mandley, president of PSGA. While attending the sessions, participants tackled issues like "Responding to Hate Crimes,'! "Creating a Safer Campus," and "Gender Roles in the Black Community." According to Mandley, one ofthe orga- nizers of the event, the weekend was highly successful. "The conference brought a lot of people of different cultures together to learn," stated Mandley.

The money in question is part of the Board of Regents proposed 1999-2001 biennial budget. Josiah Redford, a sophomore with intentions of majoring in Political Science and minoring in Business, a member of the Chancellor's Task force .. He is also a PSGA senator and director of Academic and Student Affairs, and has been work- ing on the petition since early October. In addition to the petition, which can be found in the Advising Center, Redford will be asking the Chancellor to write a letter to the Governor to support the cause. "My first experience with advising left a lot to be desired," said Redford. "It left me confused." ,. Luckily, Redford was directed to the proper people and was able to get his aca- demic career on the right path. Because of his> dealings with advising, Redford wanted to become an active member in the fight for more funding. He believes that this additional money will help many students excel in their college careers. The petitioned money will provide additional advising staff, give proper training to advisors, improve on-line advising, and create an advisor evaluation project. According to Redford, the cur- . rent advisors are working overtime to help students with their college experience. He stressed that the advisors are away to keep students at UW-Parkside as well as to help students along to a clear Career path. With the help of advisors, students can have a good education while spending as little time and money as possible. Redford encourages students to leam the facts about the advising petition. He feels that if you are a student unhappy with your advising experience, if you are a student who isn't getting the most of your college experience or if you are a student who has had success and want others to have the same, you should sign the petition. Former Chancellor f Alan Guskin speaks at UW-Parkside AJDanda Bulgrin Of the Ranger News Staff Alan Guskin, Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside from 1975 to 1985 made a visit to campus this week to discuss restruc- turing the university system. "It gave me goose-bumps to be Invited back," stated Gnskin, .who is impressed with the people he has spo- ken with at UW-Parkside as well as the new chancellor . .Guskin travels extensively, talk- ing about issues of change in the uni- j versity setting .. He believeS that there : are three major challenges when . thinking about restructuring. The first is financial pressures, According to Guskin, the cost of running a uni- versity continues to grow. The state and country can't afford to spend the amount of money needed. Along with this, the rate of increase in tuition is not rising'as fast as the cost g because people are not willing to accept the higher enrollment fees.

The primary changes proposed according to Corey Mandley, presi- dent of PSGA, are in the areas of membership and objective. The objective is centered on the represen- tation of students as well as their par- ticipation within the student govem- ment. [f the changes are approved, then many of the organizations on campus will be given a legal standing in PSGA as well as voting member- ship. "This would then create larger committees which would be more productive then the three-member committees of curren," said Mandley. "The changes will move the student government in a diverse, productive, and positive direction." Opposition to the changes revolve around the line item veto and the issue of power. Mandley said, "The proposed changes to the line item veto are being omitted due to the dislike among the student body." Bill Ager, a member of the Parks ide Adult Student Alliance (PASA) said, "Corey may have the charisma and the persuasiveness that makes a politician, but it is his ethical record that will be remembered." Many feel that if the changes pass, the student government will have too much power and no way to rescind the changes. Another student who is opposed to the changes is Torn .Belongia.
