  • Feingold Returns with Impressions of Capitol by Anthony Caskey
    News WM's &&& team art ** ,..., . :'£;' -ff Volume 37, Number 48 Feingold returns with impressions of Capitol By Anthony Caskey U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold voiced his support for a universal, single-payer health care system during a speech he gave at the First Unitarian Church in Milwaukee Sunday morning. He said that he was one of only seven senators that support such a health care package. Health care reforms were just one topic covered in wide ranging presentation about the senator's first months in Wash­ ington D.C. Of the Clinton administration's health care package, Feingold said "managed competition sounded a little bad to me." The senator said he feared that the administration's idea of managed competition might just benefit the medical insurance industry, but he is not sure since the details of Hillary Rodham Clinton's health care reform package have not yet been released. Feingold said that he has heard from a fellow senator that the administration's health program now coined as "managed competition" may be mislabeled, and that the program actually looks more like a universal single-payer health care system than managed competition. Feingold said he hopes that the administration's health care program is mislabeled, and that their system does look more like the universal single-payer health care system he supports. He also said he would like the administration's health care package to include dental benefits, something the Clinton plan does not currently include. Feingold also talked about campaign reform. The senator who spent less than his opponents by a wide margin last fall said he would like the financing of elections to come solely from public funds.

  • The University of Wisconsin - Green Bay
    INSIDE THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - GREEN BAY Celebrating ALL BUSINESS and engineering, healthcare, music, theatre and more Gary L. Miller is driving for an innovating, transforming and regionally focused UW-Green Bay • MAY 2015 • 50 years, and the Powers of the Phoenix Greetings! In fall 2015, UW-Green Bay will celebrate its 50th anniversary. We’re planning reunions, an open house and programs on campus and in the community that will recall our history and fix coat thank our supporters. We’ll offer fun ways for 32,000 alumni to reconnect and for 6,500 current students to embrace tradition. We’ll welcome back founding faculty and our earliest graduates, and we’ll marvel together at how Edward Weidner’s dream has become a modern, highly respected university. Our 50th isn’t merely about nostalgia, however. It’s about the future. At its founding in 1965, UW-Green Bay was one of America’s most innovative institutions, organized around the idea that students should tackle great problems. In the global knowl- edge economy of today, we must reinvest in our innovative roots to power education and economic prosperity for our region and the nation. We’ll do this by focusing our energies on the three Powers of the Phoenix: the Power of Innovation, the Power of Transformation and the Power of Place. You’ll be hearing more about this vision and our progress in the coming year. With inspiration from our past and from the Phoenix itself — a mythical bird that is periodically reborn or regenerated — we at UW-Green Bay will use our anniversary as an opportunity to reshape our University for the future.

Nancy (Ably) Deprey is UWGB's No. 1 graduate, having been first in line at the school's inaugural graduation ceremony Celebrating © Neville Public Museum of Brown County 50th Anniversary Edition • SEPTEMBER 2015 • 50 years, countless reasons to celebrate… and big dreams of our own Greetings! This year the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay celebrates its 50th anniversary, and what a 50 years it has been! This commemorative issue of Inside UW-Green Bay offers just a sampling of the photos, memories and milestones that tell our story. Throughout this academic year we plan to celebrate with campus and community events, our most ambitious Alumni Days ever, a 50th anniversary lecture series, print and digital publica- tions, online conversations and more. There is much to celebrate. We have a great, innovative curriculum — one of the most unique in America — with a problem-solving focus and fantastic faculty and staff. We have wonderful facilities and one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Our graduates are leaders in Green Bay, in Wisconsin, across the nation and around the world. We have deep roots in Green Bay, an internationally known city, which we enrich with our music, arts and cultural offerings. And we’re very proud, of course, of our Division I athletics program. Recently I have had the pleasure of meeting with some of UWGB’s early founders and students, and I’ve enjoyed being reminded that people here had truly big dreams in 1965.
