Throw Us a Friggin' Bone Here, People we want to provide the eampus community with the latest news, but when we don't have access to that news ourselvqs, it is kind of tough. There have been a plethora of activities and events going on this summer. Carnivals, lectures, governors at the SAC. We try our best to stay up to speed with the current goings-on. However, there doesn't seem to be anyone assisting us in this endeavor lately. Yes, we've mo-aned and groaned before over the lack of dissemination of information about happenings on campus. During the school year, though, there we were - usually aware of major events, and there were signs and posters here and there to help us out if we hunted for long enough. We were also bombarded with calls, e-mails, and letters begging for a little (or a lot) of coverage for the Students for a F;ee A1 Sharpton mocktails and line dancing hour. Yes, we've complained about that, too, but it almost sounds appealing at this point. With the school year appraching, the summer dry spell. will soon be history (we hope), but we would still appreciate a heads-up if, say, a huge conference with attendees from all over the country is being held on our grounds.

SBU President Shirley Strum Kemy thanked Pataki for and get the first full month FREE: his visit and for the Center. "This is a great testament to Stony Brook's ability to work together with business and industry-it is a very exciting opportunity for us," she said. The early afternoon event was attended by less than a hundred people, most d whom were administrators and professionals. This was in part due to the fact that the announcement was shrc>udedin secrecy, apparently because there had been unkrtainties regarding exact job figures until shortly before the anncwncement. Though the engagement only lasted for an hour, Pataki did not solely focus on plans for the Center. He had enough time to conduct several interviews, and meet and take pictures with high school students fioni the Howard Hughes Summer Scholars Program, who were attending closing ceremonies in the nearby SAC Auditorium. "It was a nice experience for them to meet the governor. He actually had a conversation with them," student counselor Jonathan Marrero said. "He didn't have to come over to say hello to me either. I was just happy to be there." Judging fiom the reaction of those present, Pataki's camp should be more than content with the outcome of the Governor's visit. People seemed flattered by Pataki's presence, and happy for the attention paid the university. Marrero expressed the sentiments of many others attending the announcement. "He was a real nice guy," Marrero said. "I wpuld vote for him this fall."
