March 1978 PAGE 2 Paper Sun Keg Nixed (Continued from page l ) ‘Because I don’t like free beer on this campus.' ” Cuda, “Well, I’ll charge five or ten cents.” Murabito, “Take your beer across the street to the Robin or to your Fraternity house but take if off the campus.” Cuda, “We’ve already had three or four parties at the house. We want to take the party to the students.” Murabiot, “I’m the law on this campus, what I say goes.\ Cuda, “Who’s your boss?” Murabito, “Dr. Kunsela.\ A meeting was held with Dr. Kunsela the next day. Several Senators presented the problem to Dr. Kunsela who was sympathetic and understanding but supported Bill Murabito's decision. Mr. Murabito Says The Papersun later asked Mr. Murabito why he had cancelled the keg. His response: “The College Center was established for a variety of reasons. It is not a Student Center. The idea of the free keg was not consistent with the philosophy of the Pub that has been formulated when the Pub was in it’s infancy. The fraternity was lacking a program and there was no activity associated with it. Besides, it was to happen before the Pub was even open. The decision was mine alone.” Papersun, “What about people who say that you were wrong here?” Murabito, “I was upholding my responsibility to all the students and faculty. The idea of free beer before 4 o’clock is against current , policy.\ Papersun, “What about the wine with poetry on Thursday after noons that the Performing Arts Board sponsors?” Murabito, \Well I’m going to look into that. It’s going to stop 1 Loo.” ,, . 1 . - v / . . , Papersun, “Where there any direct complaints received about the free keg?\ Murabito, “No, there were none that I received.” But according to Gary Cuda, Mr. Murabito had claimed during the storym Senate meeting that, “there had been complaints.\ Gary went on to ask who had complained and Mur Murabito responded that he, “Was not at liberty to say.” Mr. Cuda feels that, “This man has lied to the Senate and students.” Not A Real Problem “I don’t see this issue as a real problem,\ said Carol Crooms, “We’re a growing college with changing - needs and attitudes. Something like this was in evitable.” Papersun, “What about the precedent of free beer in the past?” Crooms, “The free beer events of the past were sponteneous and we saw no reason to stop what was in progress. One began when a club had a left over keg in the trunk of a car and broke it out on a beautiful spring day.” Papersun, “If APD had gone through the proper procedure, would the outcome have been any different?” Crooms, “In the past, there hasn’t been alcohol on campus before 4 o’clock that had gone ’ through this office.\ Carol went on to say that if they had gone through the procedure, they would have been notified of the policy at one time or another. “I was unaware of the procedure since it was to be the first time that APD was to sponsor an event on campus,” said Cuda later; “I only wish that I had been informed of it before hand and not led to believe that the event had. gone through and been approved.” “After 4 it is alright so long as the keg is bought through the Pub and it does not conflict with another activity,” said Carol, “Bill Murabito was right as far as policy goes.\ But Cuda claims, however, the , policy was understood but not in writing until Thursday the 23rd when the College Association voted on a policy that stated that alcohol before 4 p.m. was prohibited. “Therefore,” Cuda maintains, “The keg was legal.” Red Robin 830 Court St.,Utica,N.Y. - — Super Sound System Monday Night -BIG SCREEN T VSPORTS SPECIAL Tuesday Night - BEER NIGHT Between 6-9 - 5 drafts for $ 1 .00 - 9-11 - 4 drafts for $1.00 Wednesday Night - PARTY NIGHT 2 Mixed Drinks -$1.00 Thursday Night - -LADIES' NIGHT Free Champagne — 3 Mixed Drinks - $1.00 Friday Afternoon -3 DRINKS FO R $1.00 3-6 Saturday and Sunday Afternoon - BIG SCREEN TV SPORTS SPECIALS - St. Patty's Day - SPECIALS ALL DAY on Beer and Liquor open from 8 a.m. Parking Cooper Street lot has some advantages in that not that many people use it, especially during the day, and some of the people who live in the area plow ^ the lot themselves and also the residents keep an eye on the lot in the evening.” Cooper Street is a distance of about two city blocks from the campus and it Would take between five and ten minutes to walk between the two points. The responsibility of the upkeep and plowing of the campus lot is that of our landlord, Globe Mill Venture. The hands of Security and Administration are tied in the (Continued from page 1) Steps are being taken to eliminate as much of the problem as possible. Security is in the process of taking an actual car count every two hours to find which are the heaviest parking times and where the major problem areas are. This study will be made available to the students, when completed, in the Papersun. Repeated violations of the parking rules are another prob lem. The reason there is no parking in the Warren Street Entrance is that the extra room is needed for the tractor trailers who must use that entrance to make STAFF Bill Mudryk ..............................................................Editor-in-Chief Ginny T rask........................................................................Managing Editor Yearbook S ta f f .............................................................Photography Ann Goodman .............................................. .. . .General Secretary Stephen S p e llicy ...................................................................

Triple parking is not only a violation, but unfair to the drivers who become caught in between two other cars. Because of the expert plowing job, ridges of built up ice in the Court Street exit become a problem when people insist on parking along side this exit. When a car tire hits a ridge of ice, the car is thrown to one side or another, making an accident hard to avoid. Overnight parking is not only a violation but is also impractable because the lot must be plowed no later than 7:30 a.m. of course, on this note, if a student inbibes a bit too much and cannot find a friend who can drive his car, or if a students car breaks down, Security is very agreeable to making arrangements for tempor ary overnight parking. Another problem area is the ears parked on Schuyler Street. The Utica Police Dept, have contacted Security several times about students parking on the railroad tracks. One student actually had a fender damaged by a passing train. Security is constantly making an effort to keep the parking problem as tolerable as possible. They try to maintain a reasonable flow of traffic and use discression (al though some might disagree) in giving tickets. A future idea for snow plowing is to distribute some of the show to the row of space in the middle of each parking section. This would avoid taking away even more precious parking spaces. Officially there are 327 parking spaces on the main campus and a minimu of 80 more in the Cooper Street lot. The snow has cut these spaces down to 288 on the main campus. Because of the abandoned cars it has not been possible to get an exact eount at Cooper Street. New parking decals will be available in the fall semester. This will prevent unregistered vehicals from using needed spaces. There will be red with while letters and placed on the inside of the drivers side window.
