For the 1978-79 segregated fee budget, our major concerns are not with funding levels, but rather with policy considerations that directly involve a clarification of the roles and responsibilities of the Chancellor and students as related to the determination of the segregated fee allocations. The budget submission recommended by the Segregated Fee Committee and student government takes issue with the following: a. An administrative reorganization that has been accom-plished within the dollars recommended by the student committee (in fact, with fewer dollars). b. The continuation of one of the most successful campus programs -the athletic program. The committee, without any specific justification, has requested the possibility of a zero athletic budget within a three year period. In fact, members of the committee gave high marks to the Athletic Director for the program and then, inexplicably, voted against the very program they seemingly supported. This has left us with the distinct impression that the recom-mendation regarding athletics may reflect either personal bias or political issues on other campuses, or both. We can-not accept this recommendation regarding a University-wide program which not only serves some 300 students directly, but many hundreds, and probably thousands, indirectly. It may be that the athletic program serves more students than any other non-academic program at the University. We cannot accept either of these recommendations. Moreover, the deliberations that produced these recommendations have led us to seriously reassess the relationship between the student segregated fee committee and the administration, or, more spec1f1cally, the Chancellor. A clarification of responsibilities of the Chancellor and the students,is in order. Clarification of the Roles and Responsibilities of the Chancellor and Students as Related to the Determination of Segregated Fee Budgets This clarification will be based upon those sections of the statutes which deal with "the Chancellor" and "Students." The Chancellor, under 36.09(3), subject to Board policy and in consultation with the faculty, " ... shall be responsible for ... administering associated auxiliary services; and administering all funds, from whatever source, allocated, generated, or intended for use of their institution." According to 36.09(5), "Students, in consultation with the Chancellor and subject to the final confirmation of the Board shall have the responsibility for the disposition of those student fees which constitute substantial support for campus student activities.'' Following these sections, our clarification of roles and respon-sibilities is: a. The Chancellor has a fundamental role aAd responsibility for the allocation and administration of all campus re-sources and programs, including those funded by student segregated fees. b. Subject to Board approval, students shall have responsibility for developing that portion of those seg-regated student fees which constitute substantial support for campus student activities. This shall be done in con-sultation with the Chancellor. c. Subject to Board approval, the Chancellor shall have re-sponsibility for the maintenance of a complete university program necessary for the health of the university as a whole. Therefore, a budget for those areas funded from segregated fees but requiring continued maintenance for the health of the university shall be developed by the Chancellor in consultation with students. Although student advice will continue to be sought on all segregated fee allocations, it is my judgment that stud~nts have the responsibility for developing segregated fee allocations that affect those programs that have been traditionally defined to be student activities, i.e., student government, student newspaper, student programs. These are areas in which students, for the most part, can act independently of University staff ~~~bers. On the other hand, the Chancellor will have respons1b1hty for developing the student segregated fee allocati~ns in the areas ?f administration and operational staffing and rn those areas rn which University staff members develope program activities for students, i.e., athletics, intramurals, housing, and health. Of the 16 programs that make up the attached administratively-recommended segregated fee budget, eight are viewed as being essential components of a complete university program and, therefore, their maintenance is judged to be important for the health of the university. These budgets have been developed by the Chancellor in consultation with students. The remaining eight programs are judged to be primarily student activities, i.e., activities in which students act independently of University staff members and, therefore, the responsibility for the development of these budgets rests with the Segregated Fee Committee and student government in consultation with the Chancellor. It should be noted, however, that the Chancellor reserves the right to make the final determination, subject to Board approval, on the total segregated fee budget and the total amount allocated to the area defined as student activities. The two sets of programs are: Areas Requiring Continuing Support for Complete University Program Debt Service Union Operations Health Athletics lntramurals Building Costs Housing Child Care Center Areas Defined as Student Activities Performing Arts & Lectures Programming -Union Parkside Activities Board Programming Parkside Student Government Association Segregated University Fees Committee Student Group Support Student Coalition Student Newspaper Budget Allocation Plan Recommendation ;or 1978-79 .. The budget recommended by the administration, in addition to the above clarification of responsibilities, recommends $20,650 less than the student-recommended budget with a $120 fee level instead of the $125.50 requested by the student plan. All of the reductions that have led to the saving of $20,650 are in those programs judged to be administrative responsibility. The plan set forth by the administration will approve the levels recommended by the Segregated Fee Committee for the student activity programs, which students have the responsibility for developing. It should be noted that the administration has considerable concern abou1. some of the budgets within those areas which are listed. as stucie~t activities. We feel that some ~ctivities have ~uest1onably high levels of support given general student mteres_t, and others have lower support than they should. we are accepting the budget in these areas as proposed by the Segrega_ted Fee Committee and the student government as a good f_a1th _m~asure of our intent to implement the distinctions made in this memorandum.

Guskin Editor's Note: Last week Ranger talked with Chancellor Alan Guskin about the budget process, segregated fees, and his interpretation of Wisconsin Statute 36.09, sections 3 and 5. Statute 36.09, sections 3 and 5, define the responsibilities of the chancellor and the students. The parts of 36.09 in question are: section 3 which defines the responsibilities of the chancellor [" ... and administrating all funds, from whatever source, allocated, generated or intended for use of their institutions."] and section 5 which defines the responsibilities of the students ["Students in consultation with the chancellor and subject to the final confirmation of the board shall have the responsibility for the disposition of those student fees which constitue substantial support for campus student activities."]. The Chancellors interview will appear in two parts, with part two appearing in next weeks issue.

RANGER: Could you describe the events that led you to come to your decision about Seg Fees? GUSKIN: The decision really emerged from months of discussion I met with the President of student government, I guess weekly for almost a month and a half. The primary discussion of those meetmgs was the issue of the Dean of Student Life and what the administrative reorganization was all about. Whether students had the capabilit , not the ability, but the capability given the present pol1c to really determine how funds can be spent for that position. I spent months tr ing to influence Rusty Smith (President of Student Government) and other people to understand what I thought was the good faith of the institution. In the reorganrzat1on we made sure we didn't spend any more mone ', e cept for normal salar increases, which was previous!\ allocated. We did not want to get into the issue of defrnrng what is the responsibility of students and what 1s the responsibilit of the admin1strat1on. I've tned desperately to avoid that in the hopes we could work things out. I made no headwa . I could not convince Rusty or through other people member of the committee Very honestly I felt we were not dealing with a campus issue Without being tough on Rusty, I think she was acting in good faith, I think she was being prompted by United Students (United Council, as it is commonly referred to 1s an organization made up of the president and representatives of all the UW student government associations). My own JU gment as t at the ~tu ents were not dealing with the issue They were fighting out a United Students battle as well as their own battle. That very honestly concerned___me. My ability to influence students 1s compromised at that point. I'm dealing with a system-wide issue, not a local issue. On the issue of the Dean of Student Life position I made no headway I found myself talking the same thing over and over again It isn't though you want to define in black and white areas ,,.

After 2 years of what I would describe as a tense relationship, they have finally caused the chancellor to take a firm stand on the Segregated Fees budget. And as I read the Ranger article and the chancellor's prepared statement, the old win-lose phrase comes to mind. First, the students have won in a sense because the chancellor has removed the uncertainty from administrative programs due to the changeable nature of SUFAC membership. Those areas which function in this sphere can now be assured of a continuity from one year to the next as administered by professionals whose job it is to perform the task. By removing this responsi-bility from the SUFAC, the chancellor has put administra-tion into the hands of the administrators and removed it from the auspices of a committee which has shown to this writer that it does not have the responsibility and maturity to administer important pro-grams. However, this gain is tempered by the fact that the students also lose in the situation. The opportunity to consult in the making of fiscal policy is an important resJ)onsibility and one which students should be proud to have. But policy-making is a cooperative venture and ap-parently those students on the SUFAC did not have the maturity to realize this and this has led to antagonism with the chancellor. This antagonism seems to have caused a breach in the budgetary process with the chancellor's assumption of control over a major portion of the Segregated Fee. This is really a tragic loss for the studentJ of Parkside because they have allowed an important policy-making function to slip from their hands due to the apparently misguided or hard-headed attitude of a small group of students. Students of Parkside should be very distressed at their actions as well as the actions of the Student Government itself · which claims to have jurisdiction over this body. The SUFAC was an important committee and should · have been approached with the time tested logic of compromise and maturity. Apparently this com-mittee, too, has become a political football in a game that is heavily weighted in favor of the professionals. The prospect for an upset existed, but apparently the student merr ,nr s of SUFAC fumbled the ba1, a.rd are now forcing the entire student body to live with the results. Peter L. Strutynski SUFAC Chairman, 1976-77 Child Prono defended To The Editor: This is in reply to Mr, Mrs, Miss, or Ms (please circle one) Meegan M. Iverson. You goody-two shoes really make me sick. Your article on Child Pono is really heavy with errors. For one thing the number of Chicken (i.e. children under 18 who sell themselves for sexual purposes) is much gr~ater than 120,000 in New York. There are 7 "model" agencies that I know of that handle at least 10,000 models each. There are many more agencies and then there's the street trade, so a good guess would be 200,000. Don't forget, to name a few, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Philadephia, Milwaukee, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, L.A., and even Kenosha. Yes, even Kenosha, and believe it or not there are some male students here at Parkside who work for one of the larger "model" agencies in Chicago. But if you want some freelance love, go to the Kenosha Baths. Now I can only state my view point of the male prositute (Hustlers). I know several and even had a friend in High School that when he needed some extra money would go down and "work" on Wisconsin Ave. My friend did not hate, or feel repulsed by what he did. In fact he loved it! Oh, yes and by the way my friend was totally Bisexual and he even brought me out. If there were not thesl:? +ilms, books, magazines and hustlers there would be many more sexual assaults. I agree that there are some who hate what they're doing, but a hooker can lie there and make all the right sounds and the "John" wouldn't know is she was thinking about her retirement. But with a hustler, well, let's just say he has a barometer of what his emotions are at the moment. So if the heart isn't into what he is doing, he won't be doing it long. So I am for porno as long as the participants are over 12. For some boys this is the only way they can live. What kind of a job can a 14 year-old get? So while 'some people may be' spitting blood by now. It is the only way they can survive. The Baron Ratner challenged To the Editor: As an alumni of City College of New York (CCNY), class of 1963, I would like to take issue with Dr. Ratners' statements printed in the January 25th issue of the Ranger. City College and the other units of the City System had and still maintain high academic standards for their students; a 6PA of 82.5 (B+) or an equivalent standing on the educational Testing Service Boards was required when I entered City College. Except for a brief span in the 70's when open enrollment was instituted, aca-demic standards were enforced in the City System. Open enrollment has proven to be a total failure, as attested by City College reverting back to a academic selection procedure. City Colleges uniqueness was that academic standards, not financial ability was the criteria, for adr,ission. City college, till three years ago, did not charge a tuition fee; as a result thousands were provided the opportunity for a quality education. Dr. Ratner also cites data on Grade Point Averages "going down from 1972 onward at Harvard", it would seem more appropriate to cite Parkside data.

In addition to proposing new programs, we will continue the fight to ensure full student participation in the allocation of student funds, to alleviate the parking problem and to work actively with the student life administrators for the improve-ment of Union facilities. We will also continue the present administrations policy of taking surveys to determine student opinions so that our decisions can be more reflective of how the students really feel. To the Editor: Referring to the letter in Ranger signed The Baron: Wot a letter! How lucky we sexual ignoramuses are to have such informed field experts. Why, the very thought that I and many others might hav·e continued on our erring path of nes.cience, eventually deter-iorating into nothing more than a heap of moralistic and self-deceiving goody 2-shoes still sends tremors of terror through my bod. (Goodness!) You certainly had a lot of technical jargon in your letter: chickens, hustlers, hookers, John's, (baro-meters?). I feel almost in-adequate to write; REALLY out-classed. It's a shame that some of those possessing the technical equipment somehow missed obtaining the owners manual and so any information they feel obligated to impart on the deprived masses serves more to destroy than to correct. I don't warit to be so bold as to say "you're wrong," but I think the fact that many of your arbitrary and defenseless (and assinine?) arguments are spoken more from (shall we say) "the barolT)eter" than from the head is obvious. OH COME ON!!! (Mr./Ms.) B., you don't really BELIEVE all that mush about more prostitution/less sexual assalt? Couldn't it just possibly be vice versa? (Just a little bit possibly?) Well, if not, then thank God we have such gems as Starsky and Hutch, the God-f~ther; Baretta and Clint Eastwood to end all our violence Hey! Maybe it was all those 60'~ street riots that ended the war in Nam? (Y'know, get all the juices out here. Kill, Blood, Gore Guts). ' Seriously now, Mr./Ms. B. admit it, someone handed you ~ line and you took it. Try thinking · next time -it's a fantasmic high. Actually, I'm not surprised by anything that goes on in Kenosha (wasn't that the Indian word for Sin City? No? My mistake). And no, I'm not spitting blood -you been watching too much KISS perhaps? Don't worry, these things wear off. Love, the good but getting better girl Combined, we have served a total of seven years in student government. In addition to being the incumbant Vice-President Harvey has served as Associat~ Justice, P.S.G.A. Senator, Segre-gated Fees committee member, President of the Debate and Forensics club as well as being a member of several other organizations. When endorsed by the Ranger last year Harvey was refered to as "one of the most eloquent students on this campus". With your help, Harvey Hedden would be honored to continue to serve the students at Parkside. During the next week we will be circulating our platform throughout Parkside with our proposed solutions to many of the problems facing this campus. The impact student government can have is significant and the problems plentiful. We sincerely feel that with your help we can give you the aggressive leader-ship and experience you both need and deserve and which will be necessary to ensure P.S.G.A. becomes a truly viable organiza-tion. Your support on March 8 and 9 will be very much appreciated. 't New~ service illitiates My past and present involve-ment in campus activities includes; Union Operating Board Chairman, Chairman Senate Ways and Means committee, United Council Education Com-mittee member and Segregated Fees committee member. I feel that while serving on these committees I have proven .my dedication to the support of student rights and interests. However, obtaining the office of the Presidency would enable me to be much more effective and evaluation of professors Sincerely, Rick Folsom, Candidate for President Harvey V. Hedden, Candidate for Re-Election as Vice-President Did you get_ stuck with a real turkey in your Intro class this semester? Or at the other extreme, a genius whose peda-gogical prowess I leaves you gasping in wondrous admiration? If you're like most students at some point in your acade~ic career you've enjoyed or endured one or the other. Up to now the grapevine has been the student's only source of information concerning the relative merit of professors, an imperfect arrangement at best. To help the student make informed, intelligent decisions when selecting classes, the Ranger has initiated a new service. We have set aside a file cabinet in our office (by the snack shop in Main Place). Contained in this cabinet is a folder for every professor on campus. Come on down and fill out a form describing your favorite (or least favorite), professor. During registration these files will be available to the students during the rest of the semester, you may, with an appointment, peruse them at your leisure in the Ranger office.

Hewas garbed in what was to be his costume for the evening'sperformance, a leisure shirt under a pull over sweater, conservativeslacks and a pair of mocassins over red socks. It appeared merelyfrom watching him describe his stage movements, that this was farfrom his first production ofThurber.He new exactly what was neededas far as lighting and music cues and where he would be on the stagewhen giving these cues. He was a professional through and through .....,and the four or five technicians who observed his directions listenedwith absorbed obedience.When he had completed his stage directions, he motioned Tomand myself, suspiciously stated with camera and reporters notebookin hand and observing his movements with curious delight, to followhim to the green room for the interview.He appeared relaxed, amiable and inviting as he rested on thecouch. We were nervous, uncomfortable and slightly insecure as wesat on the edge of two opposite chairs, clumsily fumbling our pensfrom our pockets and snapping photographs in as candid a fashion aspossible.There was a moment of silence before the questioningcommenced. We were filtering the questions in our mind beforeletting them blurt out in an embarrassed, unorganized fashion. We /knew we didn't know what we were doing, but we sure in the hellweren't gonnaIet him know.Oneof our more intelligent decisionswas to avoid such pat and cliche questions as "What's it like to be astar" or "When did you get your big break", which we wound upasking anyway. Mr. Windom realized our initial awkwardness andattempted to initiate the interview by asking questions aboutParkside, Racine and Kenosha, all of which he seemed genuinelyinterested in. Responding quicklytohis jocular inquisitiveness wesatiated his curiousity in a commanding and expert fashion. Werealized, however, that the time would come when we would have todirect questions to him but we waited in re~pective patience."When did you begin your tour of Thurber?", I said to provoke ajournalistic atmosphere. Windom began talking of his affiliation withthe&9-70series MyWorld AndWelcomeToIt, a show based onThurber's writings. He described how it took him two years to buildup the courage to attempt a one man show of Thurber. Windom read,compiled, and organized ninety percent of Thurber's writings and issoley responsible for the production of the show.By early1972the show was together. He performed it to anexperimental audience of family and actor friends, which hedescribed as his most vicious and muderous critics. Now it was readyfor the road test.

The man beh'ind Thurber ' \ Mike Murphy and Tom Cooper We first came upon William Windom in the Comm Arts theater directing the lighting crew as to the proper spotlight procedure. He was garbed in what was to be his costume for the evening's performance, a leisure shirt under a pull over sweater, conservative slacks and a pair of mocassins over red socks. It appeared merely from watching him describe his stage movements, that this was far from his first production of Thurber. He new exactly what was needed as far as lighting and music cues and where he would be on the stage when giving these cues. He was a professional through and through and the four or five technicians who observed his directions listened with absorbed obedience. When he had completed his stage directions, he motioned Tom and myself, suspiciously stated with camera and reporters notebook in hand and observing his movements with curious delight, to follow him to the green room for the interview. He appeared relaxed, amiable and inviting as he rested on the couch. We were nervous, uncomfortable and slightly insecure as we sat on the edge of two opposite chairs, clumsily fumbling our pens from our pockets and snapping photographs in as candid a fashion as possible. There was a moment of silence before the questioning commenced. We were filtering the questions in our m1nd before letting them blurt out in an embarrassed, unorganized fashion. We ' knew we didn't know what we were doing, but we sure in the hell weren't gonna.let him know. One of our more intelligent decisions· was to avoid such pat and cliche questions as "What's it like to be a star" or "When did you get your big break", which we wound up asking anyway. Mr. Windom realized our initial awkwardness and attempted to initiate the interview by asking questions about Parkside, Racine and Kenosha, all of which he seemed genuinely interested in. Responding quickly to his jocular inquisitiveness we satiated his curiousity in a commanding and expert fashion. We realized, however, that the time would come when we would have to direct questions to him but we waited in re~pective patience. "When did you begin your tour of Thurber?", I said to provoke a journalistic atmosphere. Windom began talking of his affiliation with the 69-70 series My World And Welcome To It, a show based on Thurber's writings. He described how it took him two years to build up the courage to attempt a one man show of Thurber. Windom read, compiled, and organiz-ed ninety percent of Thurber's writings and is soley responsible for the production of the show. By. early 1972 the show was together. He performed if to an experimental audience of family and actor friends, which he described as his most vicious and muderous critics. Now it was ready for the road test. ·windom contacted an actor aquaintance, Hal Holbrook, who had toured the country with Mark Twain for close to three decades, and asked "What the hell do I do now?'' Holbrook suggested two things: 1) don't wear makeup (Holbrook spends over two hours applying makeup for his show) and 2) get yourself a good agent. Windom followed his advice, hired Holbrook's agent and he was on his way. Six years and approximately 165 shows later Windom is still touring Thurber around the country with great success. He related a specific excitement in stage performance. An actor 'Who has acted in all entertainment mediums he illustrated an analogy which reinforced his preference for the stage.
