The reasoning behind private pnvun* is jails run by for-profit, private corn- money. States are looking to private companies for a quick-fix to the ex

tremely complex issues of punishment and rehabilitation. Incarceration, or the deprivation of physical freedom, is the most severe interference with liberty By definition, the goal of private enterprise is to cam profits, and the gov*

mment is therefore creating a financial incentive for locking up people and The creation of a prison-industrial complex is one the n trends of the New World Order. Jute 15 yean ago. the prison population of the United States was 495.000'. today the number is somewhere between 1 5 and 1.6 million, with legislators promising to double that within the next 10 years.

As individual liberty languishes, the prison industry booms. Is this progress? Legislating sane drug control policies and ending our current «hug prohibitions provides a safer alternative. Prisons are both hugely expensive and very profitable. Just like with military spending, the cost is public cost and the profits are private: it’s yet another way of funneling public money into the pockets of the richest few and eroding civil Liberties.

Privatization of public services has become an economic tool for govern- sent With increased budget constraints and continued public demand for ser

Citizen* demand continuity and a community aura of public services.

To accomplish this goal, government must have a system h u h into private con

tracts for accountability through oversight of services and competition with other pnvate contract«** and civil servants

For example, contract a section of the city to private travh collectors and maintain a staff of civil servants to perform a combination «4 street mainte

If the contractor fails to provide adequate serv ices, there is a back up system in place

The era of competition between pnvate and civil servant* creates a new drive to become more efficient. R * years civil servants have been kicked into a government system which operates within rules and regulalnvu There has been a hierarchy that stymie* innovation and change With the introduction of competition, many of those barriers are broken Competition with the private sector in the public arena changes the old thought process of doing things the same old way.

There are more opportunities fur new idea* in the way that services art pro

Indianapolis, among many other US cities, has turned to privatization to provide services once operated by local municipality Privatization has been viewed aa a means of funding projects that may otherwise be left in infancy The Report of President’* Commission on Privatization in WKM concluded that privatization “may well be seen by future histonans as one of the most im

portant developments in American political and economic life in the late 2(*h century.” There b evidence to support this statement The Council of State Governments has estimated chat approximately S I52 billion worth of services were provided by the private sector in 1992

There are benefits for both the puNic and private sector in pnvatizmg ser

vices. Four key factors are

■ The maintenance of service without an increase ui tax rales

■ The reduction of costs to taxpayers by private-tecu* efficiencies includ

ing savings in construction costs, time, operational productivity and economies of scale.

■ Sharing financial risks with the private sector versus the public sector

■ The reduction of direct municipal outlays

What happens when local governments tail to do then i«*b* * This question is being thrown into the forefront of political debate a*

government cutbacks and public dissatisfaction are rapidly inervasing There are obvious, severe failure* with our current system When inmates have eaaier access to illegal drugs than when on Hu- streets, there is a failure. When institutes of the arts have to permanently shut door*

because funding is no longer provided by local government, there is a failure When hospitals have lo turn away the sick, there is a failure

These problems and many others resulting from the lack ol properly maintained government controls are forcing government institutions to seek new ways to finance the activities But. with problems there arc volutions and privatization could be the answer to many of govcmmenT*

Pn valuing certain government operations has major benefits In addition to financial reasons, privatization allows the pnvate sector to more effectively operate government fac ilities Fundraising conducted by the business community enhances credibility because donor* do mil fear that the money will be used for other government operations. If privatization was used more frequently, then maybe the next time a politician prorfiotes a campaign slogan such as “No New Taxes.” we might be able to believe it Certainly, private control* do not work in all instances Government should maintain control of most of its operations Each community around the nation should assess its current situation and explore the concept of privatization further

Perhaps, with increased use of privatization, inmates will he a h k to permanently rid themselves of drag addiction*, institute* of the arts wtU remain open for future generation*, and hospitals will he able to treat all individuals’ illnesses These problems, and many «*her* created by failing government controls need to be addressed immediately

MM: I don t think there was any one shining moment for us. Actually, I think there were tour

bust, the IK Hoard of Trustees giving us approval to move to Division I.

Second, getting admitted to the Mid-Con Quite frankly, the Div. I statu» and conlercTwc affiliation had to go together, thie move didn't make venae without the « her ime being in p U e

MM : Sooner than most espcct. The Mid-Con is like a lot of other athletic conferences In almost every sgget, one school is more dominant than all the others, and the remainder of the schools air very similar. Anything can happen in the tournament.

Overall. I simply vet our program maturing I've gotten nothing but compli

ments from the other schools in conference thus far. We have gotten off to a great start.
