PSG denies Segregated Fee budget for second time Doria DeBartolo debai004@ u wp .edu On Wednesday March 19 the Segregated University Fees and Allocation Committee (SUFAC) presented a segregated fee budget for the coming fiscal year, which was in turn denied by the PSG Senate with 3 votes in the negative by Senators Byron Dowse, Gabrielle Krawczyk and Ghazan Mian. Voting in the affirmative were Senator Natalie Longria and Senator Timothy Tennyson. Senators Zeemet Mian, Rajan Naji, and Marybeth Perdomo were absent from this meeting. SUFAC worked to revise this budget and presented a new version on Friday March 21 at noon in the Oak Room. Of the 20 Senator seats that are available, only 8 are filled and of these 8 Senators only 5 voted on the ini­tial budget presentation. PSG is aware of the narrow representation of the student body on PSG, and also on the Agenda for the March 21 meeting are possible solutions for the number of Senate seats that currently sit empty. In the Wednesday meeting, Senator Dowse acted as Speaker of the Senate due to the re­cent resignation of previous speaker Senator Steven Miksch. Dowse was later officially elected as.Speaker of the Senate on March 21 by unanimous consent. SUFAC director Chris Headley announced in the initial budget presentation that the budget was $3,591,216 including both allocable and non-allocable funds. This year only $398,721 could be allocated to various campus student organizations. Headley mentioned that SUFAC was forced to make a lot Photo courtesy of Maggie Lawler. of tough decisions and make quite a few cuts due to decreased enrollment. Decreased funds motivated SUFAC to approve a 1 percent increase to segregated fees which would allow for some money to be placed in a contingency fund to be used in the event that enrollment continues to decrease. Carol Kinsley, accountant for UW-Parkside, stated that the full time student segregated fees per semester are cur­rently $508.80. If a one percent increase in fees is approved, a full time student will pay $513.84 per semester or $42.82 per credit. Senator Dowse and Kinsley mentioned that students are also paying through segregated fees for the lack of profit in the Parkside bookstore. Dowse stated that assistant Dean Steve Wallner informed SUFAC that other models of operation are being reviewed. The bookstore loss is also an agenda item for future discussion. Another cause for more limited allocable funds this year is the closing of the child care center. Since SUFAC voted to close the center last year, previous employees who filed for unemployment have and will continue to impact the SUFAC budget until they become employed. There has also been a 1 percent pay raise for faculty members, which is additionally taken from student segregated fees. In an attempt to achieve fairness for all students, Senator Dowse felt it is right to inform students that the Parkside Dance team has received operating funds from the budget of Tammy McGuckin, Dean of Students. Also, the Parkside football club did not appear before SUFAC and is receiving funds from administration. This year, for the first time in the history of Park-side all student organizations were allowed to present their budget before SUFAC. Senator Dowse stated that this was because the committee voted that SOC (Student Organization Committee) was not an organization and the SOC members had not gone through mandatory neutrality training required by law to allocate funds. SOC was dissolved in the fall semester of 2013. Another meeting for a third SUFAC presentation of a once again revised budget was held this past Monday March 31, as the budget was due on April 1.

College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Nursing students provide 'Hand Up at 'Stand Down Guest Writer Kathryn Rotsch rotsc001@uwp.edu On Saturday February 22 I found myself in a room full of people shouting "better" in unison when asked how they were doing; the enthusiasm was palpa­ble. I had the chance to join students from UW Parkside and UW Milwaukee to help out at the Milwaukee Stand Down for Veterans. "Stand Down" is a military term for the removal of troops from the battlefield and placing them in a safe, secure area. The Stand Downs main purpose is to "give a hand up" to homeless, struggling or in need veterans. Among the services offered at the Milwaukee Stand Down were health screening and referral, job placement assistance, and the distribution of food, clothing, and toiletries. Many of the UWP College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Nursing volunteers, including me, were astounded by the amount of veterans that are homeless. None of us understand how our country has failed men and women who have given so much to our country UW Parkside Senior Amy Ganshert said, "Grasping the enormous sacrifice these men and women took leaving family, friends, and familiar surroundings to protect us in foreign lands took courage. The fact that they come back home with issues due to their ser­vice should move everyone. PTSD due to action, assault, or torture was not taken care of in the 60s. Many of these men and women served in Vietnam, a war that vilified our military veterans. Service requires obeying superior officers and that war made many people upset leaving our veterans without the support they deserved." . Veteran Army Combat Welder Claude Foster has been to six Stand Downs, "a lot of-veterans need to come. They don't think they have the problem - but it's not just the world". He feels that the Stand Down is good for the community UWP College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Nursing students Kathryn Rotsch, Jennifer Blum, Brian Chieves, Amy Ganshert, Ashley Juntenen, Cassandra Stinefast, and Sarah Pahlke making a tremendous difference!

The motto of the Stand Down is: "A hand up, not a hand out" and Mr. Foster is very glad for the stand downs because he has learned more about his health and where he should seek help. It was veteran Thomas Harris' first stand down. He said "it's good to show con­cern for vets. This experience makes me feel peaceful". Observing other veterans piece is not easy to come by with the stresses of the world they have to come back to.. For many of us volunteering that day it was an awe-inspiring experience, "to support the people who have supported us and allow us to live our lives is humbling. We are a small part, helping with vision screening but it is our way of giving back" said Jennifer Blum Senior at UW Milwaukee. For most of the UWP students volunteering this Stand down was not the first and it certainly will not be the last.
