"Students have to fight against not simply the military draft but the economic draft," Between three and five thousand students, admini- strators and faculty members turned out yesterday in tin one of the largest demonstrations at Stony Brook since the early 1970's. "There has not been a major outdoor political rally since 1971 when students mnarched asainst Departmsent of Defence research," explained mid 1970's Polity President Gerry Mangi- neadi.Manginelli said that nearly 60 people worked on the Polity organized and funded rally.
