Reorganization plan goes to Senate Kari Dixon New. Editor Carol Cashen, Interim As- sltant Chancellor for Educa- tional Services, will meet with the Parkslde Student Government Association at its weekly meeting tomorrow to discuss the new Education- al Services Reorganization Plan. The plan was written by Michael Bassts, who held that position before Cashen, after the directors of the various departments consulted with their individual staffs and submitted recommendations to him. Bassis conferred with new Chancellor Sheila Ka- plan, Cashen said, and she (Kaplan) Is In favor of the plan. Copies of the plan were ctr- culated to the University Committee, the Academic Staff Committee, Student Government and the commit- tee comprised of division chairs. All have responded fa- vorably to the plan, except student government. and Cashen said she would like to lay to rest the fear that an extra layer would be placed between the students and her- self. "Students will not be In- volved In yet another layer of bureaucratic red tape," she said. "The administrative liaison with student govern- ment would remain the as- sistant chancellor-unless Chancellor Kaplan decides to implement a Dean of Stu- dents position, and then that person will interact between the students and the chancel- lor." Some of the major organt- zatlonal changes of plan In- clude movlng the Child Care Center and the Health Center back under the direction of Student Life where it had been before. "Both of these come from segregated fees, and It makes budgeting eas- ler," Cashen said. Another change was dtvtd- ing the personnel of Commu- nity Student Services and Stu- dent Development among the various departments so they could work in their areas of expertise, and establishing an Enrollment Services unit that Plan See page 3 that he was very excited to get the appointment from the governor for this position and thinks that he adds a "unique perspective" to the problems that the Bpard tries to solve .. Schenian, 25, received hIS undergraduate degree frol? Madison in May, 1985, and IS currently attending the cone- ge's Law School. He has had much experience in stu<~ent government both at Madls~n and with the United Counctl, a state-wide student lobby group. t Schenian responded 0 questions from the Senate with clear, concise answers. He acknowledged the concer- ns of the students here, u~at this is a small campus WIth low enrollment, with the. en- couraging- news that MadIson and Milwaukee are both plan- . g to place a cap on enroll- ~~nt which will cause stu- dents that go there to take a .econd look at parkslde. The Ranger, Parkslde 's weekly newspaper r was given a rating of "First Class" by the Associated Collegiate Press/National Scholastic Press Association for the first semester, 1985-1986. ACP is the oldest national press organization in the United States, whose purpose is to improve scholastic jour- nalism and to honor achieve- ment. A "First Class" rating. which represents very good to excellent, places the Ranger in the top 40 percent of cone- ge newspapers nationwide. Newspapers are rated on every aspect, from writing to layout. . A spokesman from ACP said that 25 percent of the Student Regent visits by Jenny Carr At the last PSGA meeting, John Schenian, the only stu- dent member of the Board of Regents, addressed the sen- ate. Schenian briefly explained to the Senate that he has served on the Board since November, 1985 and that he Is the first student to hold such _ an office. Like the other members of the Board of Regents, Scheni- an serves as a volunteer and is reimbursed only for his ex- penses. Unlike the other Board members who hold their positions for seven years, student representa- tives, Schenian stated, hold the office for two years. The reasoning behind this. according to Schenian. is that the student is anxious to get started on a career and the other members of the Board are successful members of the community. Schenlan said Ranger receives "First Class' rating from A CPINSCP over 600 newspapers who par- tlclpale ln the rating service achteve a "FIrst Class" rat- Ing, The htghe.t award a news- paper can achieve after "First CIa....

Aprll3. 1986 RANGER c Editgrial Save your Assistance Will you be one of the students forced out of a college education due to financial aid cuts? At a financial aid workshop last week, one speaker said that Parkside may lose 1000students because of cuts. That means one-fifth of the student body might not re- turn In the fall. might not be able to finish their educa- tions and may lose their career dreams and plans. A laissez-faire attitude would be the easiest position for students to take. If it doesn't affect you, then why should you care? Or maybe you feel there Isn't anythlng------------ you can do to slop this Impending disaster so you may as well accept the inevitable. The Injustices of the Gramm-Rudman bill and Reagan's budget plan will be the demise of accessible higher educa- tion If we Ignore It. Students can do something to let the government know financial aid is necessary. We can FIGHT. We don't need sticks and stones to fight this injustice. Write or call your Congressmen and urge them to vote "no" on financial aid cuts. Currently PSGA Is' sponsoring a letter writing campaign.

Letter to the Editor Student kicks Ranger in the "backside" To the Editor: Ten or so times a year. usu- ally when I am bored to tears, I pick up an issue of the illustrious Stranger to see what's happening In the little minds of small people. So far you're batting 1000: without faU I have been keenly disap- pointed in what I have read. In general, these comments are applicable to various parts of every issue; but in particular, the kind of article which prompts this letter ap- peared In the March 20th issue, page 11, by Hans Haus- child, entitled "Anti-rock bri- gade infiltrates Kenosha." I am concerned because this type of article is indicative of the kind of pseudo-Intellec- tualism a newspaper uses to mask over an inept reporter's lack of objectivity. Does the Backside Stranger purport to be a newspaper? I fear that it does; but then so does the Na- tional Enquirer. The essay is a prime example of a major malady in the media of America--the redefinition of news and objectivity. The article written by Hau- schild was quite a biased essay. Beginning with the "headline, OJ the entire article bordered on being no more than a diatribe against the person and views of Peters, the subject of the essay. and thus. indirectly, upon those who would hold similar views. Hauschild offered al- ternate interpretations for each of the ideas he chose to quote from Peters, but in only a single instance did he offer anything more than his own opinion to back up these al- ternate views. In this single Instance, (about the origins of the term "rock-and-roll"), his claim to back up his view Is weakly presented. Indeed, I myself have a book at home which contradicts Hauschild's assertion and backs up Pe- ters' assertion. This simply shows that some people care- fully choose their sources In order to back up their own pre-conceived opinions. I can hear Hauschild now: "What do you think Peters was doing at that seminar? His views were just as one- sided!" Certainly that is right. The difference is that Peters was conducting a sem- inar at which he announced up front what his views were (at least this Is what Hauschl- Id says--I wasn't there). Con- sidering the setting of the seminar, could anyone truly Jennie TunkJelc Edltor Karl Dlxon New. Editor Kim KranIch A•• t. News Editor Jim Nelbaur Feature EdItor Gary Schneeberger As.t.

Dlstribution Manager attend It with the idea that Peters would simply routinely say, "Here are the good points. and here are the nega- tive polnts ....Now you can make up your own mind." No, rather, Peters was trying to Influence people to his point of view. And there Is nothing wrong with this; It Is this presentation of differing points of view that helps to balance our society and keeps It from going too far to the right or the left. And the proper way to do this Is in the manner Peters conducted it. In contrast, the essay writ- ten by Hauschild was presen- ted in a medium that is as- sumed to be objective and un- influenced by any special seg- ment of society. Sadly, how. ever, the reaction by the Backside Stranger simply il- lustrates how one social group reacts when they feel they are threatened by the lifestyle of another group .. This, then is the core of the matter: a newspaper is a public forum, and is held in the public trust as being ob- jectlve enough to search out and present both sides of an issue in order for the public to make an Informed choice. Hauschild's essay simply par- STAFF Kim Barekafttkt, Leo Bose, Jenny Carr, Scott Curty, William Dezoma, Mike Farrell Gretchen Gayhart, Tammy Hannah, Kristy Harrington, Hans Hauschild, Carol Kortendick, Rick Luehr Kimberly Mir Hetdarf, Eri~ Nowicki, Michelle Petersen Mike ROhl, Scott Scheuber, Bili Serpe, Debbie Siegel, Nick Toper. roted the response of what has been stereotyped as an Ir- responsible generation: this emotional issue was not ob- jectively reported, but was made more emotional. Thus the stereotype is strengthened and the public trust is be- trayed. Hauschild's essay is, of course, printed under the responsibility of the editor, and therefore Jennie Tun- kleicz must be equally held responsible for the journal- Istic sham of the Backside Stranger. Indeed, if one ex- amines the institutions of the country, It can be found that there is accountability ex- pected of every segment of society--except for the media, which launch into a Ftrst- Amendment tirade at the very mention of responsibility In reporting. It Is this lack of responsibility that has eroded the confidence of the public for the media. It is a peculiar thing that people like the edi- torial staff and reporters of the Backside Stranger feel it is such a "frightening" thing for Peters to exercise his Constitutional right to inform those who willingly came to hear what he had to say. These same people, however, see nothing wrong with using the University newspaper to present page after page, issue after Issue of bigoted, one- sided oplnlons ..regardless of the fact that they themselves continually cry out thai Ihis campus's plurallstlc sludenl body needs all polnls of view (apparently that means all points of view that agree with their own). There are adages to descri- be this situation: "Practice what you preach," "What's good for the goose is good for the gander," "You need a litt- le of your own medicine." George Orwell even wrote a book that described the atti- tude of the editorial staff, and in the book "1984" he describ- ed one group which felt that ..All animals are equal. But some are a little more equal than others. to Jon Anderson Bditor'« note: Hauscnild's story was a feature, not a news story, and was con- cerned with his impressions of what he saw and expert: enced, along with aUenwJive interpretations of incidents the seminar· discussed: The RANGER stande by his cc- count as offering a look at the "other side" Of a complex issue ar~~~fezr i:e~~ttc.n and e~it~d by >s.tudent~at UW·Parkside and they pUbliShed' eve~ n;!g~~ s: l'JC!litO nal policy and content.
