NOVEMBER 1982 SUNY COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY VOLUME XI ISSUE IV Papersun Increases Circulation 200% SUNY Students Rally For Quality Education On Thursday, October 21, students at Utica/Rome College of Technology held a rally to promote public awareness of the two programs presently being phased out of the school. Due to a decision made by the SUNY Board of Trustees and the Chancellors office, the school is focusing all of its financial resources on the technology programs and is phasing out the Human Services and Criminal Justice programs. As a result, the students in these two programs feel that the quality of their education is in jeopardy. The Human Services program has already lost one full time faculty member and the Criminal Justice program was recently informed that Professor Gary Gordon will be leaving to take a full time position at Utica College. On October 20, the students from the programs met with President Cayan, Vice President Countryman and Dean Sabel to discuss their concerns. Their major concern, brought up by Human Services student Deanna Dowling, was the possibility of gradually losing full time faculty to be replaced by adjuncts from the communi ty. Dr. Countryman addressed this issue by saying that the students were assuming too much, and he was not willing to assume that full time faculty members would gradually be leaving. The notice of Gary Gordon’s new position came one week following the meeting. The rally was led by Criminal Justice Student, Dixie Wood- worth and about 30 students from the two programs who joined here in picketing in front of the Administration building on 811 Court Street. The demonstration was peaceful yet powerful. From there, the students proceeded through the buildings of the main campus, finishing the march through the school library. Each year the Papersun staff attempts to offer responsible reporting on current undergrad uate issues. As each year comes to pass, certain areas of reporting become the focal point of the papersun. The student newspaper develops with the guidance of its staff members. Since its inception, the Papersun has increased circulation from several hundred copies to the present two thousand copies. These issues are distributed to the entire undergraduate popu lation and the faculty/staff members. The one area the Papersun is not moved stride for stride is in the area of our ever increasing alumni. This issue and the Special Sports Edition, will reach, for the first time in our history, over 3,800 alumni. After much leg work and discussions with our staff, Alumni Affairs Staff, and the Postal Staff, and the postal system, we have found that for 571/! of original cost of 2,000 copies, we can produce 4,000 extra copies per issue. This is an important step in securing a future for us by keeping the alumni current on issues. Also, the Papersun staff is interested in alumni feedback and the staff will accept articles that are signed and submitted by alumni. Since this is a major step for our publication office, we are interested in continuing this concept into future years. We, the staff, would like to request from the alumni a donation of one dollar (or more if you like) to be sent to: G.D. Cuda, Managing Editor/Paper- sun, c/o Alumni Affairs Office, SUNY College of Technology, 811 Court Street, Utica, New York 13502. All donations will be handled by the Alumni Affairs/Associa tion Office and will be deposited into a separate account. This account will be used strictly to reduce postage, labeling, staff ing, and printing costs. Any excess funds will roll-over into each future year’s Alumni Papersun circulation costs. If there are any questions, you may contact: Mark Hameline - Director Alumni Affairs, SUNY College of Technology, 811 Court Street, Utica, New York 13502. When inquiring, make note on the envelope to: ATTN: Papersun Circulation.

The “Cardiac Kids” did it the hard way but nevertheless clasp a 1 - 3 - 1 regular season round. The Raiders managed to defeat Hammer House (20 - 19) in the opening round of the playoffs and capped off their season with a dramatic come from behind victory over “ Mean Machine” in the finals. The Mean Machine jumped out to an early 12 - 0 lead over Roskoff, and for the second week in a row it looked like the eventual outcome was a cer tainty. The Raiders managed to score their final and winning touchdown on a perfectly de signed play with just 13 seconds left to play. A thrilling end to a season that began with disap pointment and ended in wild celebration. Immediately after the game the Raiders were pre sented with the first President’s Award for Intramural Champi ons. The plaque was presented by Dr. William Murabito on behalf of President Cayan. The plaque will be housed in the Student Affairs Office until a more permanent spot becomes available at the new campus. Our congratulations to Roskoff Raiders and the other teams that participated in this year’s flag football league. Presidents Cup Award Initiated by Gary D. Cuda, SUNY Tech. President Peter Cayan, instituted a presidential cup award for excellence in all major non-intercollegiate sports. The first award was presented November 7, 1982 to Roskoff Raiders: the 1982 flag football champions. The award is the first of its kind for athletic prowess at the college. In the past, awards were given in the form of T-shirts and certificates. However, no major significant award or trophy was established to keep a historical record of past champions. President Cayan has insti tuted this ward as an expression of his interest in the Wildcat sports program. It can also be viewed as a type of challenge to allteams participating in intra mural sports. The effort put forward by a team to earn the award adds a special dimension to our history as we move on to the Marcy campus.
