I HE F1CTBHY TIME! January 30, 1991 President's Address Dear Students, Sometimes it seems when we put things in perspective to one another that our goals may seem less important than the events around us. For example, the War in the Gulf has captured world-wide attention and the daily news bulletins of the latest actions can really be overwhelming. After hearing the news of the war, a person may feel kind of selfish to be worrying-about his/her own needs or concerns when people are being killed. It is for this reason that we must look forward to a day when the war will be over and peace restored to the world. Even though the war exists we must not forget the things that we hope, plan, and pray for. Our education is the goal that we set forth years ago, and the events of the war should not impede on our personal goals. Every student adds to the quality and diversity of this campus. with a campus as diverse as ours, it is important to remember that the ideas of the people will be equally diverse and should be tolerated in a free society. I do not want any one student to feel un-welcome on the campus, or intimidated to express him/herself because he or she may be different in ethnic, racial, religious or political beliefs. Each student should accept the idea that all people do have- something in common. And that \common ground\ is what relationships and peace should be built on. As your representative to the college community, and President of your student association, I will assure you that URSA will not be a part of any activities that would harm the in efforts that will promote the military morale of the people willing to lay down their lives for their country. Four students from our campus are in Saudi Arabia willing to fight for democracy. We, the members of the Utica Rome Student Association pray for their safety, thank them for their service, and wish them home soon. Please support us to support our fighting men and women. God bless the United States of America.
