SA Prez likes what he sees.

Allegations Against Heritage Foundation False

SA President Jon Nevett has banned the sale of Coors in the campus pub. Nevett cited Coors' support of the Heritage Foundation as justification for his ban.

Said Nevett, "Coors is a leading financial supporter of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative lobbying organization that lobbies for student financial aid cuts. And if their proposals were enacted mto law the results would be devastating. Friends of ours would be unable to return to Binghamton."

However, Nevett's ban on the sale of Coors in the campus pub has stirred controversy at the usually tranquil Binf!hamton Cw.l_ti-U~

Sophomore Ying Lew articulated the view of many students in saying, "Even if what John Nevett is insisting were true, that still does not give him the right to decide what beer I can or cannot drink in the campus Pub. College students should be given the choice of Coors. We're all mature enough to decide for ourselves what beer we should or should not drink."

Editors of The Binghamton Review insist Neveu is creating a false issue to pacify the extreme left wingers who, they claim, dominate many campus governing bodies such as the Student Association. 60 Minutes' Report Vindicates Coors Said one Review staffer, "I

-· from engaging in any type of lobbying activity.

"The Herjtage Foundation is a body of nationally and internationally renowned scholars who conduct research on the pressing issues of our day. The Foundation publishes reports reflecting the research of these scholars. However, Heritage reports carry a disclaimer saying that the views expressed in reports issued by the Foundation do not necessarily reflect the views of the Heritage Foundation. So contrary to what some [Nevett ] may think, Heritage supports no specific program or policy," explained Feulner.

Review Editorial Board member Billy Schor insisted that in the interests of academic freedom "scholars must be given complete 1ibeny to is~t'e reports 'h·it .d1 :'+

their own findings, whether we agree ·or disagree with such findings. Since Heritage doesn't lobby and only contributes thoughtful, new ideas to the public policy arena, the only conclusion I can draw from Nevett's boycott is· that he is attempting to censor thoughtful, new ideas merely because he disagree with such ideas. And that's wrong. Attempts, to censor ideas at variance with ones own, especially on a college campus, are just wrong."

Memoirs Of A Madman The Continuing Saga Of The Confused And Bewildered

by '(an Rusanovsky

One day, walking down the rue I discovered that I was completely insane, and had been for some time. I had attribbuted this conclusion to the immediate facts on hand. I had absolutely no idea where I was or what I was doing there, where ever that may have been. I decided to ask some friendly, if

somewhat peculiarly dressed passerby, where I was. Well, I believe that I had misjud;~ed the stranger. He did not turn O'lt to be friendly at all. He did no.~ even consent to speak English to me. But perhaps he did speak English and I just did not understand him. Surely that would be ample proof of my insanity. Yes that was it, he was speaking English and I was going crazy. After all this is the United States of America, where En glish is the mother tongue. I was happy, I had it all figured out. But wait, maybe he wasn't speaking English and maybe I was more lost than I thought.

Well I walked further down the street. About a mile down I saw a stairwell leading underground. I presumed it was a New York Subway station, and my happiness had returned. When I got on the train I was more confused than ever. I had expected to see signs on the train telling me where I was. Well I did see signs but I could not understand what they said. Again I asked myself: was I unable to read English after receiving a fomal education? I was determined to get to the bottom of this! I looked at . the signs again. The letters looked the same but were somehow different. Memories of high school . Spanish with Ms. Garcia came back to me, and I concluded that the signs were in Spanish. Could it be? Was I really perfectly normal?

... Impossible! Last I could remember, Engli;sh was what we spoke in this country. I placed my last hope upon the many passengers on the train. Upon addressing them, all I got in return were confused faces and some nasty glares. After a long time my determination for true knowledge wearing down to nil. By some miracle I stumbled upon an elderly woman who . actually spoke English. With tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat I asked to help me. She informed me that I was in the United States and the signs were in Spanish. "But how could that be?", I begged for an answer, knowing that I was close to the truth. She thought for a while and then proposed an answer:"To accomodate the Spanish speaking population."

"But what about the people who speak French, Italian or Russian, do they not deserve to be accomodated by similar signs in their languages?" Well the woman just slm1gged and

asked me to stop pestering her. Since she did not know the answer to such an important question either I had concluded that she was insane, just like me. I left the woman and I left the

train, and wanderted through the crowded streets. It turned dark and it started raining. I started to think again, damn it I hate when that happens. I decided that it was unfair to accomodate any, or for that matter all language groups. Everyone who lives here should learn English. And laws should be passed making English the official language of this country, in all fairness to everyone.

AIDS And The Socialist Prophylactics

by Alex Lanzman

In a recent issue of "The Economist" there was an article that stated that the poor quality of the Communist condom was hampering efforts to combat AIDS in the Eastern Bloc. Hungary, with its relative openness to the West and fairly relaxed attitude towards homosexuals, now admits to having 114 · persons who are carriers of the AIDS virus . According to the article the government is trying to limit the spread of the disease by urging the population to take precautions in their sex life. But the campaign is being "wrecked" by the Communist industry's inability to produce satisfactory condoms.

In a recent television program on AIDS a Hungarian doctor admitted that the East German and Czechoslovak condoms sold in Hungary were "too thick", and that this made them almost useless. Doctor Endre Czeizel, the pioneer of famlly planning in Hungary suggested to import condoms from the West. However trade officials protested, saying that given the country's economic problems precious hard currency cannot be wasted on such "luxury" goods.

Though they may complain · about the quality of their condoms, the Hungarians are at least better supplied than their comrades in other parts of Eastern Europe. In Romania condoms are not available at all due to President Ceausescu's campaign to increase the birth rate. In the Soviet Union they are not only of poor quality, but also in short supply, with the result that abortion has become a common method of birth control.

But according to Dr. Czeizel not everything made in the capitalist world is perfect. A recently conducted study using Japanese contraceptives, found that these too fell short of Hungarian standards. Most of the men thought the condoms were too small.

Tl1is is the most magnificent movement of all! There is a dignity, a majesty, a sublimity, in this last effort of the patriots tha_t I greatly admire. The people should never rise without doing something to be

remembered -something notable and striking.

Bork Bashing: Simple Minded Arrogance "The Senate Must Reject Bark ... Because He Does

Not Understand What We Need A High· Court For" Pipe Dream 9(11 /87

Sorry Fred. I hate to disagree with such noted constitutional scholars like yourself and Dana Barooshian, but we think judge Bork "understands what we need a high court for. " He does after all have a law-degree from the University of Chicago and has served as a distinguished profesor of law at Yale University.

Apparently, the entire Senate Judiciary Committee also thinks Judge Bork "understands what we need a high court for" since they unanimously approved his nomination to the District Court of Appeals, the second highest court in the land.

Similarly, it seems that the present Supreme Court also thinks Judge Bork "understands what we need a high court for" since they have upheld every one of his judicial opinions reviewed by the Supreme Court.

Finally, it appears the American Bar Association also thinks Professor Botk ''understands what we need a high court for" since they distinguished him as "most qualified" to serve on the nation's highest court, the highest possible honour any court nominee can receive from the bar.

Let's face the facts Fred. Surely, any law student unable to arrive at a fair and intellectually honest answer to the question, "What does the United States need a high court for," would not be given a law degree from Chicago or

. a proffesorship at Yale. Surely, years of study at such prestigious universities would enable a brilliant individual like Robert Bork to understand what we need a high court for.

At least that's what the vast majority of academics and scholars think. They hold·a law degree from Chicago and a professor at Yale in high esteem. But perhaps you know something they don't know? Perhaps Fred, you know of some as of yet unheard of degradations in the Chicago or Yale law curriculums?

I suggest that if indeed you do know of any relaxing of the standards for graduation at these allegedly superior institutions of higher learning you rush to The New York Times immediately. It would be quite a jomalistic scoop Fred, and would probably vaunt you and Binghamton-State into national prominence. Who knows; you might even get to be on Night Line. And Fred: that would be a big boon to your emerging career in journalism.

You say that Bork's "concept of what the court's role should be is radically different from the established norms of the last century."

What norms Fred? The so-called "norms" of the liberal activist court of the Warren era? If the Warren court had been bound. to such allegedly sacred court "norms:' then Black school children would still be confined to unequal, second rate schools in the ghettos. If the New Deal court had bowed down to such "norms" there would be no federal welfare system to aid the impoverished. Sorry Fred, as history clearly shows, forever binding court "norms" don't exist.

You correctly state, "Bork believes in the original intent school of thought. This means that he believes the constitution means

what it says -and nothing more ... But for some strange reason you seem to find such a belief about Constitutional interpretation to be "reactionary" and held only by "right-wing ze~lots." Well Fred, once again I have to ask you: Do you know something we don't know? Does the t~onstitution have hidden, .cryptic meaning that only you and your liberal buddies are privy to?

I mean, come on Fred. Of " course the Constitution means what

it says and nothing more! If everyone decided_ the Constitution had extra meanings above and beyond what the Constitution says, we would have at least 2000 different Constitutions as every prominent scholar added his own personal ideas into that document called "The Meaning of The Constitution." And indeed this is exactly what liberal activist Supreme Court Justices have been doing to the Constitution for the past 40 years. The result has been chaotic, as not a day goes bv that some judge somewhere doesn't find a new "right," hitherto unknown, in the Constitution.

No Fred, you won't find the Constitution to be a document with dozens· upon dozens of different and bizarre "rights." And a strong, imparitial, intellectually honest judge will put aside his personal preferences and vote to uphold the legitimacy of that one sacred document called the Constitution of the United States. Fortunately, Robert Bork is such a man. We should be thankful that Judge Bork believes in Judicial Restraint and · will not add his own personal beliefs to the meaning of the Constitution. For in the U.S. there's a legal and democratic way to change the Constitution; its by means of amendment, not judicial decree.

The Anti-Bork coalition, brilliant legal scholars that they are, insist Bork is against freedom of speech. Perhaps they should study the cases Bork has ruled on a bit more before making broad, sweeping legal

judgements. Despite what the "progressives" may wish to believe, the Constitution does not protect free speech all the time. There are a great many factors affecting one's freedom of speech. For example, no one has h "right" to yell fire in a crowdecl movie theatre when there is no fire. Similarly, the cases Judge Bork has ruled and written on are extremely complex in nature, involving a great many mitigating and extra-legal circumstances. To simplify his intellectually brilliant rulings into one or two sentences is to show the utmost in arrogance and simple mindedness.

OCCT was founded in 1971. Each student on this campus contributes $6.00 per semester to use their services. There is no additional charges to ride the buses occr is run by coordinators which are chosen by OCCT bus drivers. The coordinators make sure the buses run smoothly and that their maintainance is kept up. Yet, there have been problems this year.

OCCT has employed five non-matriculated drivers. According to OCC they are not hiring non-students. They are hiring individuals who have dropped their full time status

disgusted by the gay hterature on this campus, though I certainly understand and support their right to express their opinion in text. This is after all, the United States of America. In this country, we respect everyone's right of existence, worship and even bizarre sexual practices. But coupled with these rights, which are inherently ours under the Constituition, there is a responsibility; we have to respect the rights of others and not impose our beliefs upon them.

Unfortunately the GPU does not seem to understand this. They "demand" special privileges and recognition such as radio disk jockey "sensitivity training" attuned to their special needs. And if someone doesn't acceed to their demands they'll engage in acts of physical violence such as the knocking down of ceiling tiles and the slanderous name calling of SA and University officials.

Of course, the GPU is a very small minority on this campus though their voice is very loud. In the face of GPU arrogance the students and administration of this University simply stand by and do nothing as they have for years in the past. So while other organizations have to prove their worthiness through membership quotas and fundraising, the GPU is exempt from these regulations. It is high time that the students tell the GPU they will not be afforded special privileges.

I am 1_10t in any way suggesting censorship of their publications but rather, that a sane and alternative voice be heard.

When I arrived on this campus as a Freshman, I was immediately boi?barded by many gay and other radica! left "publications". They were s1mply appalling rags, with no re~ value except to discourage and drive away many prospective new students. Oh, they did have some

· value. These fabled publications were vital in the starting of bonfires and necessary to supplement the rather scanty supply of bathroom tiss?e on this campus. But then ag~m, .who would want to wipe therr pnvate parts with garbage like that?

I want people to know that this campus is not made up solely of homosexuals and other radical li~era~s. They are a very small mmonty who have every right to exist and to publish. However, they do not have a right to slander

OCC Wastes Thousands: Fall Training Program Would End Waste

by Sue Blake

Everyday hundreds of students pack themselves into buses that

deliver them to the far reaches of Binghamton. Admittedly, most students do not care about the bus situation if their bus arrives on time. And for this OCCT (Off College Campus Transportation) and BCT (Broome Community Transportation) should be commended. Due to these two services the vast majority of students who live off campus arrive safely to their destination. But there are problems that should be addr~sc;ed.

course per semester and be .employed by OCCT. For one full year, their constitution allows these individuals to drive the buses. This has been a major source of financial loss for OCCT.

The state has. a fringe benefit account called the IRF (Income Replacement Fund) which handles insurance, etc. All state employees must contribute a set percentage from their income to it. Students are exempt from this contribution. Since these five OCCT bus drivers are "non-students", by state definition they must pay into the IRF. Yet, they are not getting this money deducted out of their salari~s. So, who is footing their IRF bill? The OCCT budget is.

According to OCCT, the IRF account to only 1.02% of all their drivers's salaries. Assuming that the average driver is making base pay ($5.70/hr) and driving 20 hours per week the a111ount 1s negligible, a mere $1.16 per week. The "non-student" drivers recieve this amount of hours due to the fact that students are in classes while they ar~ driving the buses. When this figure was checked with Personnel at the Adminisration building a shocking discrepency occured- the figure was actually 26.81%. When asked, an administrator said that occr was paying the IRF percentage for their "non-student" drivers. Furthermore, the drivers may be contributing a small fee for health insurance from their salaries, but it had nothing to do with the IRF. Over the course of the semester an

estimated $1,300 is blatantly wasted and that is assuming base pay. In other words, it amounts to 228 driving hours or 26 student activity fees being wasted. OCCT said there was no plans to replace the "non-student" drivers

Furthermore1 OCCT has not budgeted for a Fall training program. They claim they get the same number of applicants in both the summer and fall semesters. However, many students see OCCT as a viable form of student employment, but cannot afford to stay up here in the summer to train. ~~CT should start up a Fall

trammg program now (the estimated cost being $2200) and require that any new driver be a full-time student. By doing this, they could replace the OCCT "non-student" drivers in six to eight weeks since it only takes about 40 hours to train a new driver. As of now OCCT only hires two instructors to train new drivers.

With a Fall training program OCCT would eliminate the $1300 wasted in IRF costs over the course of a semester. Such a program would also give needed employment to students financially strapped for funds. In a year, the Fall training program would pay for itself due to the fact that there would be no IRF money going out.

Furthermore, if OCCT used Harpur's Ferry in order to give their drivers First Aid certification instead of the Red Cross, an an additional $500 would be saved.

If men are to be preclUded from offering their sentiments on a matter which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences that can invite the consideration of mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of speech may e. taken away, and dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Every day many of us pass by or enter the social room in the University Union dedicated to Nelson Mandela, yet few of us recognize who this man is and what he stands for. The man who once led the African National Congress and who still is considered to be its official head has for the last twenty five years been confined to a South African jail. I, as well as millions of people around the world sypathize with the ideals that motivated Mandela, for South Africa is still torn apart by racial prejudice and social injustice. Yet,

. many people who sympathize with the struggle of blacks for full equality cite that the very real positive changes that have occurred in South Africa in the last few years have been brought about not by violent tactics advocated by Mandela and the ANC, but rather through peaceful measures and discussion. The black majority has been achieving significant gains in the economic, political and social sectors.; trade unions have been legalized, social and travel restrictions lifted, autonomy granted to several homelands and just recently, new ground was broken as blacks gained access to the previously all white stock exchange. These changes, as well as many others were accomplished through peaceful debate and economic pressure and not violent attacks on the white minority. In fact such attacks alienate potential allies and scare the white minority into actions detrimental to the long term goals of the black population and the progress already accomplished.

- I do not wish to deny that many injustices persist as blacks are denied their legal rights as citizens and humans in South Africa. Nor do I wish to offend the Americans who sympathize with the plight of blacks, and for whom the name of Nelson Mandela has become synonymous with the struggle to end apartheid. To many of us, however, Mandela is a symbol of violence and a stumbling block on the road to end the discriminatory regime in South Africa. Furthermore, there is that nagging question of MrJidela's connection to the Commm ..ist Party and their goals and tactk s. If in fact such a · connection exhts, it seems to be improper to name our socia1 room in honor of a mm who supports the anti-democratic Communist dogma, for we live and study in an environment which praises the democratic system, condemns

· violence and praises the peaceful elimination of problems. As a Jew attending a university, where Jews constitute a large percentage (if not

the majority), I find it even more disturbing to dance, listen to music or attend meetings in a room dedicated to a man who supports the PLO's war against Israel and Jews worldwide. In my opinion there are many individuals for whom our social room should be named. One is Raul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who at the risk of his own life saved the lives of 150 thousand (!) Jews from German concentration camps only to have himself buried alive in the Siberian Gulag(Soviet concentration camps). Then there is Abraham Lincoln, whose name is held in reverence in the U.S. and around the world for eliminating slavery in America. The list of people whose names would honor our social room goes on, for there are many distinguished people (including some black South Africans) whose names are associated with humanity and peace. But Nelson Mandela's name is not among them, for people who are associated with the murder of innocent civilians, the communist

Brickbaths to Pipe Dream made its ever present liberal bias painfully obvious in two recent editorials. In "Divided Policy" (9/8), groups such as the Democratic Socialists of America, the Latin American Student Union, the Southern Tier Against Militarism and For Peace, the Harpur Gay People's Union, and Looking Left are called "progressive" while the White House is said to be "in the hands of the right-wing of the Republican Party." And in "Out of Date Justice" (9/11), Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork is said to be Reagan's "most reactionary" nominee "yet," a "right-wing zealot. .. progressives" are oppossed to.

Why must radical groups such as the DSA, LASU, STAMP, the GPU, and Looking Left be praised with names having such positive conotations as "progressive" while conservatives must be cheaply discredited with names having such negative conotations as "right-wing," "right-wing zealot" and "reactionary?" Please. Let's call a spade a spade. There is nothing at all "progressive" about the left at Binghamton. In fact, the DSA, LASU, STAMP, the GPU, and Looking Left are s_o radical that even most liberals disasociate themselves from these groups. All one needs to do is examine the positions these groups take to realize just how far off to the left they are.

The so-called Pipe Dream "progressives" call for a new socialist order to replace the "decadent capitalist system" now in place, unilateral disarmament by the west, special legal privileges for homosexuals, and openly embrace the Sandinistas as "peace-loving Democrats." Even .many "liberal" Senators would never dare make

· such radical and non-sensical proposals.

Now as to the editorial content of those Pipe Dream editorials. We can first thank God the Pipe Dream editorial staff is not running U.S. Foreign Policy; and we can secondly ask, upon what basis do the seemly forever dreaming editors base their conclusions? In "Steaming To War" (9/4), they warn that "whatever we do we must not alienate the people any more than we have." But the only people Pipe Dream expresses worry about alienating are the fanatical Iranian Shiite Fundamentalists -an extremely small fraction of the entire Middle Eastern population. The moderate Arab states: Kuwait, Saudi- Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt would be far more disillusioned with the United States were we to withdraw our naval vessels from the Gulf. It is the people of those nations who are most fearful of the fanatical Iranian Shiite Fundamentalists. In fact, diplomats of those nations privately admit they would not be too upset at direct U.S. military intervention against Iran.

In any event, U.S. foreign policy cannot be a futile quest to placate all peoples and nations. Appeasement didn't work for Chamberlain in 1939 and it certainly won't work for the United States, a superpower with worldly responsibilities unique to a superpower in 1987.

60 Minutes Vindicates Coors From Page 1

Said one Hispanic Wallace interviewed, "I've been here 18 . years. I'm a supervisor .. .In fact Coors was hiring Hispanics before it was fashionable . "

When· asked to comment on AFL-CIO allegations that "HispaniCs are just being bought off by Coors" that same worker responded, "Well, they bought me with a good job, good benefits, security for me and my family. If that's buying I'll take it."

The average Coors assembly line worker earns $35,000 annually. · ·

Wallace noted in his report that hundreds of Blacks, Women, Hispanics, etc ... and other minority workers were waiting to tell him a story similar to the one told by the aforementioned Hispanic worker.

Wallace also explained that "most of the anger aimed at Coors has more to do with how Joe and Bill Coors feel about unions."

Coors has been staunchly against the unionization of its Brewery, believing unions to be unnecessary for Coors' workers and detrimental to the competitiveness of Coors' business.

"The whole smear campaign against Coors is the work of Big Labor which is frustrated at their inability to unionize Coors workers," said Review staffer Alex Lansman.

Lansman pointed out that in 1977 Coors workers voted out, by a margin of two to one, the Brewery's AFL-CIO Local.

Maintained Lansman, "I vouldn't be surprised if Sickler

was paid off by Big Labor to testify to some of these reckless allegations."

He explained that Sickler was made coordinator of the AFL-CIO's Coors Boycott Committee, a position that reaps its occupant handsome financial reimbursements.

Added Lansman, "Big Labor's record is not too clean. Mob infiltration into unions is widespread and prevalent today."

He referred to a 1983 article in a California newspaper, The S~ntinel, which exposed Howard Wallace as a recipient of thousands of dollars in kickbacks from the AFL-CIO for his leading role in organizing "the gay/lesbian community's effective and on going boycott against the. Coors Company."

Interestingly, Mike Wallace's Sixty Minutes Report showed that the one independent union not affiliated with the AFL-CIO, the Operating Engineers Union, strongly denied any wrong doing by Coors.

"Coors recognizes the dignity of its employees, including all Local members. Coors does not force employees to take lie detector tests. Many Articles have appeared throughout the U.S. which contain outright fabrications being presented as facts about the Coors Company," stated a spokesman for that Union.

Coors & Heritage From Page 1

Cathy Doherty, a Binghamton student who has studied various fmancial aid proposals, said that the real thrust of Heritage proposals is reform and that under proposals issued by the Foundation Binghamton students would continue to receive financial aid. She referred to one Foundation report entitled, "A Seven-Point Strategy For Federal Aid To Higher Education." It calls for a greatly simplified federal financial aid apparatus with the present seven program structure being simplified to one program.

In a written statement released by the Review Nevett was criticized for using scare tactics.

"Most of the Review staff is dependent upon financial aid. The truth is very few Binghamton students would suffer much at all if any of the voluminous and sometimes contradictory proposals issued by the the Heritage Foundation were enacted. The only ones who would really be hurting would be the uppity Ivy Lea~ snobs who should never ~· . received financial aid in the 'firs'tt place by John R. Guardiano, Jr.
