Suffolk University was no differ- ent. Signs advocating student pro- tests and strikes were found on many walls. Students wore buttons with the words strike and Stop the War on their chests. Four years later, the war ended and anti-war cries diminished. The issue was put to rest . . . In 1980, one decade later, similiar kinds of protest surfaced. Just a year ago, Governor Ed King stripped 18 and 19 year olds privilege to drink and purchase li- quor. You were old enough to vote and drive and pay taxes, but not old enough to drink. The start of the new year brought more rules regarding and regulat- ing the lives of students. In Febru- 1980— war? ary, President Jimmy Carter an- nounced that 18 and 19 year olders would have to register with the draft board. Suffolk students held mixed feel- ings about the announcement. If men had to register, women would have to. Buttons saying Stop the Draft suddenly appeared along with anti-draft petitions. A paper with 20 arguments against the draft was plastered on all walls. There is no war in 1980. Howev- er, circumstances around the world are mobilizing countries and armies, and people scan the head- lines looking for new develop- ments. Unlike the protests ten years ago, students in 1980 are protesting the thought of war and the draft, unlike students in 1970 that protested death and destruction. By Janet Constantakes democracy.

After interviewing President Fulham for the Suffolk Journal, I would walk out of his office amazed and a little respectful at his ability to dance around a direct question or evade it completely if the mood struck him. The office of Public Relations re- leased what I call propoganda when Fulham announced his resignation. It is true that he accomplished ev- erything written about him on the previous page, but he did an equal amount of injury to the students of Suffolk University. The Fenton building was built along with the promise of more space for student activities. Instead, the already cramped space in the Ridgeway building became more crowded when two classrooms had to be added because the Fenton building could not hold them. The renovation of the Donahue building did nothing for the under- graduates. It was turned over to the Law School, with undergraduate dollars funding it. In almost total secrecy, the United Way building was purchased when it became evident that the undergrads would not give up the cafeteria as quietly as expected. Un- der fire from the SGA and the stu- dent body, the building was pur- chased. However, four floors will remain empty for future growth. No space for activities. After the A Ridgeway building is renovated, all space will be moved back down to the bottom of the hill. All the trustee committees do not have student voting power. The members listen for fifteen minutes to students presenting proposals, then dismiss them to talk about the pro- posals. Students are not allowed to hear the trustees ' pros and cons or to explain any questions. Most of the time, the vote is against the students. Fulham appeared at a State House Educational Committee hearing to present the administration ' s view on a bill students were trying to intro- duce. This bill, among other things, would force boards of trustees to have student members join in an ac- tive voice in colleges that receive state financial aid. Fulham ' s reason for not having students on the Board? . . . It is not traditional. The Women ' s Committee disband- ed because of his inaction on their suggestions. Since 1979, the commit- tee has disbanded, and has been in adjournment since the chairperson resigned. Fulham has not intervened because it is a faculty matter. The Joint Statement on Rights, Freedom, and Responsibilities of Students was drawn up by a Journal editor and its advisor to protect the students. Before this document, nothing was drawn up in their be- half. Fulham does not deserve the credit. Citing rising costs, the Fulham ad- ministration took automatic service scholarships away. All totalled, 26 people, putting in an average of 30 or more hours per week, did not re- ceive tuition remission. Yet the board continued to hold its expen- sive meetings at the Parker House Hotel, and the Oyster Club. Nine months went by before the decision was ever discovered. Now, with the help of the Scholar- ship Committee and the Financial Aid director Darcie Lincoln, some progress has been made. These posi- tions are now going to be funded un- der workstudy. All along these peo- ple were stonewalled and did not receive any help from Fulham. This university is run by the stu- dents for the students. It is their money that paid his salary. Tuition rose and one word was given in re- sponse: inflation. No one saw the figures, no one got straight answers why or where the money was going. Time and again, he had the oppor- tunity to give answers, but instead, asked questions. Now I ask: Why was it so hard to listen to our cries, and why did the trustees not hear? The strike of 1979 put a crack in the administration ' s armor, and still, it is up to all students to fend for them- selves. Universities are for learning. Universities are not corporations. I understand that costs rise, but where? I never saw anything for my money. Good Luck Mr. Fulham. You need it, and so do I. Nina Gaeta, Editor in Chief 19
