SAO Continued from page 1 or not the UWM Student Association would be required to obtain an advisor as well. There were 90-100 advisors before the new requirements, according to McGinnity, and additional staff may be hired because of UW System Policy F50. The UW System policy also states that individual UW System institutions "may estab­ lish additional requirements for official recognition" of cam­ pus student organizations, as long as they are consistant with the Board of Regents-ad­ opted policy. And, according to the SAO update, organizations must identify at least four UWM stu­ dents enrolled as at least half- time students, defined as a minimum of six credits for un­ dergraduates and four for grad­ uate students. When asked what will hap­ pen if student organizations can't obtain an advisor, or can't find one that is willing to work with them, McGinnity said that issue will not be a problem. "We'll [SAO] be working with student orgs to help them find an advisor," he said.

NFL Continued from page 19 from Steven Wright, nobody will steal the division from Indy.) AFC East With Tom Brady on the side­ lines, the AFC East needs a new team to run up the score late in regular season games for the sole purpose of setting records before finally choking at the end of the year, but who? The Jets are missing the stability at quarterback that they've had the last few de­ cades, so it can't be them. The Dolphins would rather watch the Marlins play than watch film of their own games, so scratch them, too. That means it's up to J.P. Edwards (or is it Trent Losman?) to take the Bills to the top. AFC West The Chargers' defense re­ cently lost some juice with the news that Shawne Merriman is out of steroids, or hurt his knee, or something. Whatever the case, Jay Cutler could turn out to be a slightly less ugly version of John Elway, so watch for the Broncos to get back to the playoffs, especially since they get to play the Chiefs and Raiders twice a year.

The Mandel Group's proposed design is also di­ rectly across from and would face UWM's Riverview residence hall. Concerns were raised at the meeting about pollution to the river because of more than 1,000 UWM students, between Riverview and the Hometown site, potentially living on its banks.

Oakland Ave. If the UWM Real Estate Foundation chooses their plan, the new residence hall would be built on the southeast corner of Farwell Ave. and Royall PL Kovac read requirements for the new building, laid out by the UWM Real Estate Foundation, at each of the meetings. The constraints included, among several other criteria, an innovative, sustainable design. J. Gerard Capell, Murray Hill Neighborhood Association President, explained the feelings of many residents living in and around the UWM CORPORATE HORROR JOSEPH KUENZLE community. "I think it is more of a 'lesser of three evils'," he said, when asked if area neighbors prefer one spe­ cific proposal over the other two. Capell also said he supports UWM building new facilities away from the east side, like a talked-about School of Public Health in the downtown area. He added he'd like to see downtown expansion rather than, for example, the proposed Innovation Park in Wauwatosa. After the UWM Real Estate Foundation decides on one of three finalists, they will submit the proposal to the City of Milwaukee, seeking a final approval. The plan, said Kovac at one meeting, is to break ground for construction by early 2009. The new residence hall structure would be open for student housing by Fall 2010 and will be home to nearly 700 UWM freshmen and sophomores. Kristin Kern contributed to this report. «m-
