UPPER DIVISION COLLEGE State University College at Utica-Rome ______________________ VOL. 4 NO. _________________________________________ Tuesday, February 8, 1977 \I Can Save You *70” How would you like to save $70 this- coming year, while at sc h o o l? Sound good? I t ’s simple; just vote down the mandatory student activity fee this m o n th, and you’ll have $70 extra in your pocket, for a while. And no catches, but.... What you will be saving , ($35 a semester), will probably get you through a half month’s food bill. But now let’s give a little thought to what you won’t be getting. Free movies, mixers, entertainment, speakers, a la y e r on cam p u s , this newspaper, the Snowflake, the performing arts, supplements on trips, clubs, and special interest group activities, discounts on eyeglasses and appliances, intra-collegiate athletics, and the possibility o f inter-collegiate athletics, will be a no, no. A no, no; ’cause no “mo. ” You can also expect to pay the full shot for your yearbook. The first two weeks of this s e me s ter alone, you were offered enough entertainment and activities that would drain your purse if you had to pay the cost that a non-student would pay. And you still have thirteen weeks in the semester to consider; to consider just how far that $35 on the spot would get you. So go right ahead and save y o u r s e l f the price o f the activity fee for the next school year, and the students fee for- the next three years, too. Vote down the mandatory fee; get hold of your savings and see how long it will last and how much o f what you are now offered you’ll be able to afford on your own. After you’ve rid yourself o f your savings, and find that the school can offer no free anything because of the exhausted budget and no mandatory fee, you can always ta k e up k n i t ting, basket w e a v in g , or even making Spanish rice to amuse yourself. I f you find yourself bored during the evenings or on the weekends, you can always com e down to the em p ty College Center and count the bricks that make the building, or bring a flashlight and you can count the stones and pebbles in the empty parking lot. (Continued on page 3) Last Tuesday night (Jan. 25) the Student Activities Board presen ted James Mapes: Hypnotist and his “Power of the Mind” show at the student center. Having never been exposed to such a perform ance, I was both interested and skeptical. James Mapes, at 31, has appeared on several television programs and soap operas and has established his own clinic, the NY Institute of Hypnosis and Mind Control whose mailing address is: 1540 Broadway Suite 300, N.Y. 10036. The show itself had the audience both spellbound and hysterical as Mr. Mapes proved himself to be a talented entertainer in addition to his hypnotic powers. Mr. Mapes had about a dozen subjects that had been chosen at random on stage and several people in the audience whom he had “the power of suggestion”. The subjects, who consisted almost entirely of students, were then put through a routine that had some of them forgetting their names, while others were excep tional tap-dancers or talented strip-tease artists. Mary Ann Kamp misplaced a finger and was seen after the show looking for some “little yellow bird”. (Continued on page 5) \Roots” - What Have We Learned From It. The American College Diction ary defines Racism as “the idea that ones own race is superior and has the right to rule others.” After watching three series of “Roots” on TV, I hope a lot of us must have learned the truth of1 what actually took place a few centuries back. And I believe that people of all races have learned what it is to be trampled on and degraded to the lowest animal order. What I like to discuss today is the after-effect the movie “Roots” had on a colleague of mine I was chatting with on Wednesday morning. I will like to keep his identity , if you, my readers won’t mind. Our conversation went like this: (Continued on page 3) The Loading Dock If you’ve been to the college pub since the beginning of the spring semester, you probably noticed some changes. Pat Perfetto, our pub manager, has work very hard with the College Center Com mittee, the Pub Renovation Committee and the Administra tion to bring to us and more intimate atmosphere, a touch of rustic class, a jukebox, a more convenient game room and a larger product line. Pat has big plans to continue his progress. He has a new furniture on order, plans for liquor in the pub, nightly speicals on beverages, and coordinated programs w,ith the Student Acitivies Board. Mention has been made, via the pubsurvey held in December and by word of mouth, of activities, events products, contests and atmosphere touches wanted in our pub. Pat feels that feedback is one of the most important parts of progress. He hopes that anyone who has ideas will feel free to speak to him aout them. Pat has done quite a bit of work, in a very short period of time, to enhance the attractibility factors of our pub. His prices are quite reasonable when compared to local bars. For instance, the pub’s 7 ounce glass of chilled wine sells for a nickel less than a 5 ounce glass of wine, over space taking ice, in the more patronized local bars. The same type of deal is offered on beer, whether it be by draft or can. I truly was surprised by all the changes made. Better news! Pat told me he intended to open the pub at 4 p.m. on weekdays. There are a myriad of improvements. We’re truly getting the best price, the closest location, and as good an atmosphere as any nearby bar. With all the changes made thus far, and with any additional improvements to be made, the \Loading Dock\ still needs one very important attribute - YOU! This pub is ours: yours and mine. If we are foolish enough not to take advantage of it then they will take away our college bar. It will actually be our loss. Mary Andriello Food Service Coming To The UDC will be having a new food servicing company to supply the students and faculty alike with a wider selection of hot and cold foods. Seilers of New England, a food service management company, will be moving out the old vending machines and bringing in their own on or about February 11. With the new machines will come a larger selection of good quality foods, but this is only the first step in a program that will be remodeling and redecorating the snack area and constructing hot-tables (steam bins) to serve the hot foods. Seilers has been in business for a good many years and has built a reputation for having exceptional ly good foods as compared to other food companies. There will be slight increases in the prices for certain foods but this writer has been assured by several people that it will be well worth it. Prices will range from 40 to 85 cents for sandwiches, coffee and soda will be 20 cents, and milk will be 25 cents (these prices may be subject to change). UDC UDC The second step of the program, which should take place sometime in March, will be the introduction of the deli line of hot foods that will be served from the yet-to-be installed hot tables. Pat Perfetto, the present Pub/food services manager, has informed me that they will be offering weekly and monthly specials where they will be'serving foods of different ethnic origins, Mexican dishes, Jewish entrees, Italian cuisine, Soul-Food, etc. When the move is completed there will not longer be tables in the snack area itself due to the installation of the new facilities but a stand-up counter will be constructed for “eating-on-the- run” and students are free to use the Pub and TV lounge areas for eating purposes. Lunches will be served between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. A staff will be on hand to prepare the meals and will consist of one full-timer and two part-timers, Bill Mndryk i A .< I I I -H-? i P f f l l I W f f U - b
