Reporter wants to talk to Polity alumni

[JoAnne/Ja Young ten Doesschate]

The following is a message I got from a student reporter who wants to talk to some of you. Please DO! Remember when you were a student and the elders ignored you. Don't repeat history.   I am currently writing a story for the Stony Brook Press. The piece is about Radical Student Union, a new club on campus fighting for student rights. I wanted to connect it to SBU's radicalism in the passed [sic] during the 1960s and 70s.   Norm Prusslin recommended I speak with you regarding this. I was interested in contacting SBU alumni regarding this and I hear you have been at SBU for awhile. So I was hoping you will be able to help me.   I need this by Saturday Nov. 13 the latest. Feel free to give them my contact information or contact me at anytime. -- Thanks, Siobhan Cassidy Stony Brook University School of Journalism, 2013 T: (631) 922-4151 siobhanc...@gmail.com

Sorry Siobhan,
But to the best of my knowledge, there was no such organization by that
name. We had a chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (See SDS
by Kirkpatrick Sales for a national picture, then go to see the
Razler/Camarda/Cohen collections of student ephemera and curiosa for
"Red Balloon: 25 years of (I forget the rest of the title)" by Mitch
Cohen, brother of Robert, the photographer/special collections donor,
for a history of campus radicalism, and a full set of Statesmen and
Specula (yearbook) going back to Year 0.

NOTE FOR ALL: DONATE your stuff to the growing campus archive in the
Frank (the tax cheat) Melville Memorial Library Speical Collections Dept.

And remember, your donation is LEGALLY tax deductable!!

Debbie Toll (our campus's first prez's wife) told me yesterday that John
T. is not well due to chronic loss of short-term memory and is in an
assisted-living facility. However you felt about him, this is a fate
worse than death - I sent regards from the Statesfolk, and will be in
tounch - anyone with any messages for Debbie and the two Toll daughters,
please send through here.

Anyway, DT promised to send her attic collection to the Library - my
next step is to get in touch with Ward Pond to get his dad's stuff.
