LOVE IT TO DEATH! (Continued from page 5) When you land on this island (hopefully in the middle) it will be unspoiled by concrete, billboards, and skyscrapers. You’ll discharge your parachutes off of your backs, and walk hand in hand adoring the unspoiled beauty, as you make your way to the beach and hotel. As you are walking, you hear the birds singing, and the sun is shining on your nude and hopefully beautiful bodies. There are numerous trees of fruit around, such as coconuts and oranges, bananas and apples. The man reaches over and pulls down a banana, the woman goes over and pulls down an apple. Each exchange their gift of fruit, and this modern day Adam and Eve need not worry about any silly sin after munching into their apple and banana, for this is the 20th century. Upon arriving at the beach, you ire welcomed by the management. Y our suitcase was already fetched by a Ubangi native. You are given the choice of sunbathing on the beach with the other honeymooning couples, or immediately being whisked off for a beautiful Jaccuzzi whirlpool bath in a heartshaped tub built for two. I could go on, but I just realized Tm in Utica. In case you’re wondering, the total cost of this package would probably cost the same amount as the S .A.B. sponsored trip to Bermuda. Plus at least with my trip, you’re definitely going to have a ball. It does make me wonder why has it taken so many years of civilization to think up something as simple and wonderful as an ordinary guy like me has thought up in this article.

The goals being to better acquaint students and landlords with the aspects of renting in the Utica area and the creation of mutual understandings between tenants and landlords. The purpose of this organization shall be to unite and educate the students and landlords in all aspects of renting, also to improve conditions of rental facilities in and around the Utica area. The Student Tenants Associa tion is more of a total service oriented committee as compared to other clubs and organizations. This group has been organized to serve the total student body (all living off-campus). Other organiza tions such as the Criminal Justice Club, Human Services Club, Nurses Association, etc., are program oriented and somewhat more limited in their scope. At the present time, a brochure is being developed to inform landlords of this new organization. Newsletters will be published on a regular basis to inform and educate the student body of new developments with concerns of renting. Our present project now is concerned with summer housing for all new students entering Upper Division in the fall semester. It is hoped that we will have the majority of the student body involved with this new organization. Improvement is needed with respect to_ student/community relationships, housing regulations and assistance within the Upper Division housing office as the staff is not adequate for the percentage of students with housing and off-campus problems.

PaperJSun SUNY Trustees Play Up Sendee To Student Complaints by Karen Bjornland (SASU) - Six members of the SUNY Board of Trustees heard testimony from distraught SUNY students at the open hearing held at SUNY Binghamton this week. About 16 persons presented testimony to the trustees. Christi an Gruber, SUNY Binghamton professor, defended the four credit/course system in operation at SUNY Binghmaton and SUNY Buffalo and presently under attack with an altered FTE scale. Gruber charged that the present system did not shortchange SUNY stu dents and was neither a “fiscal gimmick” nor a move by profes sors to shirk responsibilities. Chancellor Kelly responded by assuring his support of the system. SUNY student Phil Deitch spoke out for disabled and handicapped students throughout the SUNY system. He recom mended the appointment of a staff member at every SUNY school to overseer a program for handicap ped students and stressed SUNY support of “barrier-free” campus es. The panel of trustees also heard testimony from Broome County Community College representa tives who bemoaned the lack of funds allocated to community colleges and emphasized their . important role as a community service. They also claimed that cutbacks in community college funding increases job competition for two-year college grads and may prevent them from complet ing four year degrees at SUNY colleges. Another topic for consideration was the proposed construction of the Utica/Rome campus. A half- dozen students approahced the trustees with the problem and discussed the proposal to share facilities between Utica College and Upper Division. Attended by about 100 students, the hearings sparked some discon tent among groups of students. A banner was strung up that read “Trustees Get Off Your High Horse” and a flyer entitled “Why We Should Egg the Trustees” was distributed. A few students, in an effort to politically satirize the hearing, were costumed to repre sent Mayor Beame, Jimmy Carter and Nelson Rockefeller. Trustee Johnson passed off the somewhat hostile reactions as expected, saying that the trustees are “such obvious targets.\ Chan cellor Kelly, in an interview with a student reporter explained that it was difficult for the trustees to respond to student demands because serious problems require in-depth consideration and a panel of less than half the trustees is not able to make decisions. Student Association president Lisa Chason said of the hearing, “It is easy to see that although' education has become broader in the last decade, it has not become democratized. A perfect example is the way the trustees meetings are being held, with no opportuni ty for dialogue or access to the decision-making process.” The hearing was presided over by trustee Darwin Wales and attended by trustees Thayer, Johnson, Sinnot, Holloman and Jackalone, as well as Chancellor^. Kelly and other SUNY official's. Besides students, about 20-30 administrators and a number of faculty members and private citizens attended the meeting.
