Editorial/Perspectives Students fight back statewide

11 Iwl \~>(Xu v/D against McCallum's budget pages 20-21 Day of action at 12 UW campuses kicks off education tour

By BRYAN G. PFEIFER Editor-in-Chief

As part of a statewide day of action, stu­ dents came out in force at 12 UW System campuses March 2 to protest Gov. Scott McCallum's state budget proposal that increases tuition with no increases in funds for financial aid, no grants for students of color, and includes "tuition flexibility," among other measures that are anti-education say critics. The United Council of UW Students, the statewide lobbying group representing over 140,000 UW students, called the day of action in response to Gov. Scott McCallum's $46 billion 2001-03 biennial budget released Feb. 20. McCallum has proposed increasing the money available for the state's 26 UW cam­ puses by $98 million, but most of that money would come from tuition increases rather than state funds. The day of action was the kickoff for a UC sponsored "Education is Key" tour where stu­

.-:.--•-• , The UWM Post FEATURES March 7. 2001 Tipper Gore: picture this

By AMY BERGHOLZ Staff Writer

The arrival Monday evening of Tipper Gore at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts launched the fourth season of the Unique Lives and Experiences series with UWM as it's title sponsor. The former "second lady" engaged in a dia­ logue with the audience as part of her "Picture This" lecture, a tour based on her newly released book, "Picture This, A Visual Diary", a photographic representation of her life as wife of the former Vice President. UWM's own leading lady, Chancellor Nancy Zimpher proudly introduced Tipper Gore to an overwhelmingly female audience. With "Tipper Rocks" signs waving in the audience, reminiscent of the Gore rally held in Cathedral Square only a few months ago, Mrs. Gore talked candidly about the issues that mean the most to her, both politically and personally. Though hesitant to delve too deeply into the campaign issues, Tipper did acknowledge the election as a painful and difficult time in which Photo courtesy of Lynn Lucius she said, "It was hard to see my husband go Tipper Gore. through the things he had to go through." She also confessed, "Sometimes in a twenty-four House Conference on Mental Health. hour period you'd have your greatest high and No matter what political opinions one may your greatest low all in one day." She went on hold, it would be hard to dismiss Tipper's lifelong to say, "The important lesson of this campaign commitment to making a difference in the world, HEY UWM STUDENTS!!! is that your vote really does count—or should!" giving a voice to those who would otherwise go Tipper kept the focus of the evening on the unheard. importance of turning the unexpected twists And if you're still not buying it, at least come and turns in life into new opportunities.

WHAT'S EATING PUBLIC EDUCATION? It was an encouraging sign to see hundreds of UW System stu­ dents at over 12 UW campuses protest the savaging of their educa­ tion March 2 (see page 1). At UWM over 80 students, professors and community residents came out to a press conference to lend solidar­ ity to the Student Association, United Council, legislators, and stu­ dent leaders who are leading the good fight against Gov. McCallum's shameful budget proposal. A bill by Democratic Rep. Spencer Black that would make the state match any increase in tuition with a boost in financial aid for students who qualify was supported at the press conference. We endorse this initiative. According to the Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Board, the average student at UWM now accumulates on average $3,342 in stu­ dent debt, or accumulates on average $13, 368 over a four-year col­ lege program. Furthermore, tuition has increased 70 percent ($1,312) since 1990 at UWM and 75 percent ($1,408) at UW- Madison. Tuition at other four-year UW System schools has increased by 70 percent ($1,066) and at UW two-year colleges 81 THE PRIVATE SECTOR IF WE LET THEMI percent ($1,013). At the same time Wisconsin's prison budget exceeded $1 billion dollars two years ago, the most in the state's history. In McCallum's budget, according to Democratic Rep. Jon Richards, new money for prison expenditures is three times that of the UW System. It seems Letters to the Editor McCallum has no problem with sending people of color to prison instead of universities.
