UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE September 29, 1994 BUDGET CUT BLUES by Karen Diehl News Editor Upon first hearing the phrase "property tax relief," most people aren't outraged, angry or terrified. It seems like a fairly innocent phrase. In fact, those words probably sound downright musical to homeowners. The idea all by itself is a fairly simple one: lower property taxes in order to take a hefty financial burden offWisconsin citizens. Noproblem, right? Sure, if youdon't mind about a billion dollars in statewide budget cuts. Ah, yes ... "budget cuts." Now there's a phrase that invokes outrage, anger and terror amongst the masses. Cutting money out of any budget means tightening purse strings, cutting unnecessary costs, and more often than not, losing quality. When Governor Thompson implemented a plan to shift puhlic school financing from the shoulders of the taxpayers to those of the State, he created an interesting situation statewide. On one hand, property taxes could certainly use a reduction. On the other hand, these reductions would not go in without consequences elsewhere in the system. In fact, all state agencies were asked to propose a 0% budget increase for this year, and a 5 and 10% hudget decrease for the next biennium. Ouch. At UW-Parkside, a 5% budget decrease would mean losing about $900,000. Which means that a 10% decrease amounts to $1.8 million. As a student, one might ask the question, "How can I expect no loss in quality of education at an institution that suddenly is cutting 1.8 million bucks out of its budget?" Trying to answer that question has had many people here and statewide concerned. Chancellor Eleanor Smith called a meeting about the budget cuts in order to come up with a plan of attack. A three-step approach was decided upon. First, let the UW System know how the 5 and 10 % cuts would affect the number of positions and enrollment numbers here at the university. Then create a process to make the necessary cuts, and thirdly, "enumerate the impact of such cuts on our students and other clients." The first steps were decided upon, and deadlines were set. Everything was ready for the dreaded cuts to be made. Maybe it's because it's an election year - most UW students are of voting age. Maybe Governor Thompson decided that hurting the UW System went against the whole idea of affordable, accessible higher education which the state has so adamantly supported. Mayhe someone in the UW system squawked loud enough for somebody to - pay attention. Who knows? But, despite the previous command to cut the budget, Governor Thompson issued a new statement exempting the UW System from the impending decrease in spending. The:='Ki;;;:;; Governor thought that it wouldn't be prudent to force such obviously devastating cuts on the public universities. So, we're off the hook? With the issuance of this statement, the UW system has been granted pardon Recruitment Fair OnWednesday, September 21, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside clubs and student organizations actively promoted themselves in an effort to increase awareness and membership. TheRecruitment Fair was held in Upper Main Place between 9 am and 3 pm. Each spring and fall the Student Organizations Council (SOC) sponsors the fair. According to Karla Zahn of the Student Life Office, the number of clubs and organizations at Parkside has increased about fifty percent in the last ten years. Participating groups set up booths where representatives' answered questions and Lisa Bigalke, Art Club Secretary. "A lot of people, even non-art majors, are stopping by to see what we're doing." distributed brochures, flyers, or other informational material. Groups used displays, had drawings for prizes, or gave away free items to draw attention to their booths. A panel including Chancellor Eleanor Smith, Student Life officials, and Ann Bausman of the Computer Science Depart- ment awarded cash prizes to the groups with the most interesting displays: Engineering Club (Lst), Art Club (2nd), and Alpha Psi Omega (3rd, Drama Club). The prizes were $45 for first place, $30 for second, and $15 for third. The money is deposited in the club's private account, to be spent with the club's discretion. Engineering Club displayed their mini-Baja car, built by some of the engineering students. The car resembles a dune buggy and is raced in an annual competition among midwestern colleges. ,----------,----------------,--, Parkside's mini-Baja placed Bike Tl-res Slashed in the top third of last year's entries, according to professor of engineering, Walter Feldt. Art Club displayed a large painting and welcomed '0 anyone, artist or not, to "improve" it. Many st~de~ts contributed to the painting throughout the day. "The painting is a colorful ~ay to get people involved, said Harris, Parkside's Technical Theatre Manager. APO also gave away free tickets for their first play of the semester, The Tavern, to the student who came closest to guessing the number of "hardware" pieces in ajar at their booth. There were 281 pieces, and Political science major Kandi Santivaci guessed 265. Many groups reported that they recruited new members at the Fair. Anyone still interested in joining a club or organization can go to the University Activities Office in Union 209 or the SOC Office in Union 203. Alpha Psi Omega (APO) displayed a model set of the film, Guys and Dolls, as well as models of other famous film settings. All of the models were created by Keith The evening ofSeptember 22nd or the morning ofthe 23rd, a bike left overnight in the rack between the Comm Arts building and the Wyllie Library and Learning Center had its tires slashed. The Ranger News and the l!niversity Police are interested in finding the guilty party. Crime and vandalism have no place in the campus community.

HAVE YOU HAD THE BLUES LATELY? students unable to afford any type of higher education because tuition is no longer affordable anywhere. With the job market of the future becoming more and more cut-throat, especially for people without a college degree, accessible education is not only a nice thing to have, it's nearly a necessity for maintaining our standard ofliving. With any luck, we'll be able to keep quality universities running and close to home. So, stay tuned, because next week the budget-cut saga will continue with interviews from Donald Kummings, chair of the English Department, William Streeter, Assistant Chancellor of Administration and Fiscal Affairs, and (with any luck) Eleanor Smith, Chancellor. The close examination of how things get done may actually create a more efficient, cost- effective way of doing things. "Often times, people tend to get comfortable in traditional ways of doing things," commented Chief of Police, Robert Deane. "They're done that way because they've always been done that way." It couldn't hurt to be open to new, better methods of operating. It could hurt, however, to lose the quality and affordability that the State of Wisconsin currently offers students. The cost of private higher education has risen to outrageous heights in the past decade, and state schools offer a quality alternative. Or at least they have thus far. It would be a shame to see public universities lose competitiveness with private schools, or worse, to see from its sentence of financial doom, right? Not so fast.. .. Included in the statement was an implication that other targets of budget reduction may be forthcoming. Basically, no one knows where the UW System will end up in this whole budget saga. It's probably wise to assume that some kind of belt-tightening will be required of the OW System. After all, state universities are a rather large consumer of budgeted state dollars. Perhaps more than any other state program. But how much will we have to cut back? And from where? These are certainly interesting questions. Too bad nobody's answered them yet. There's not really a problem with cutting out unnecessary expenses from the system. THEN YOU SHOULD COME AND HEAR PROFESSOR OF HISTORY.
