 Remembering
the early days: Earth Day and Earth ball
Gaylord Nelson returned to Green Bay recently and met with current and former
students and faculty including Jack Frisch. Nelson, left, was governor when
planning began for the UW-Green Bay campus in the 1960s, and a U.S. senator
in the 1970s when he was the driving force behind the first Earth Day. Frisch
founded the theatre program at UW-Green Bay and was perhaps as widely known
in those early years for his creative and engaging courses in communications
and new games. (Remember the "Earth ball"?) The two were among those
who met up at a local ceremony marking the anniversary of the milestone Clean
Water Act of 1972.
Pssst....you can still
get in, but apply NOW
Know someone interested in applying as a new freshman or transfer student to
UW-Green Bay for fall 2003? There's no need to panic...they still have a decent
shot of beating the deadline...but they should apply sooner rather than later.
Applications are already running 37 percent ahead of last year. That's been
a trend for some years now, as Green Bay is typically among the first UW System
campuses to post the "Sorry, No Vacancy" sign each year. Admissions
Director Pam Harvey-Jacobs says last week's news about a cutoff looming as early
as January, just confirmed what many high school students, parents, and counselors
already knew. UW-Green Bay is in demand, a "hot" choice.

Governor
gets good look at PSC (and Calix Ndiaye's defense)
Dropping in on a Phoenix men's basketball practice a few weeks ago was Wisconsin
Gov. Scot McCallum. An avid player, he scrimmaged with the team and exhibited
good form on his jump shot during a break from campaigning leading up to the
Nov. 5 election. He also, presumably, got a good look at UW-Green Bay's 30-year-old
Phoenix Sports Center. Campus officials say the facility is cramped, outdated
and in need of expansion; the University wil pursue private donations and some
state funding to match the multi-million-dollar commitment already made by students.
McCallum not only candidate
to visit UW-Green Bay
October was a busy month for candidates visiting the UW-Green Bay campus. A
faculty-staff committee organized a series of public forums and invited those
running for legislative office in the University's service area to participate.
While scheduling conflicts prevented some from attending, many did, including
Sidney Vineburg, Judy Krawczyk, Bryan Milz, Alan Lasee, Susan Hilsabeck, Roger
Dier, Karl Van Roy, Barron Brokiewicz, Dan Katers and Frank Lasee.
"Internships
are very important....My goals include expanding my knowledge of the workplace
and the world of business. You need more than just book knowledge to be successful...
Internships also help you find out what you enjoy, or perhaps don't enjoy."
Crystal Pollack
Accounting student and intern at Schneider National, featured in the upcoming
"Inside UW-Green Bay" magazine on business and internships
