IC-l · ~a II YI We" thehfTegislators asked their questions at Stony Brook, it does not seem too likely that they were pleased with the administration's answers. In Press Pix the first place, the administration did not monitor machines except, on occasion, to count them. Efforts to register the machines with the administration had never proved successful, and different departments had different counts on what machines were where. The significance of thiswas that monies were chang- ing hands at a state- run facility, and the State knew no more about it than that There were also no mechan- isms that would relieve the State of liablity if some- one was hurt or killed while using one of the machines. In regard to revenues, the State also could not have been too happy: Polity, the student government, col- lected revenues from the machines in an indirect manner, and had only started extensively monitoring machine revenues three months before the legisla- tors visited campus. As for contracts and competitive bidding the Senators were provided with one page agreements between individuals who owned the ma- chines and the dormitory legislatures. This, however, was an improvement as there had been no contracts at all in past years. Once again, Stony Brook looked silly in the eyes of the Legislature. In certain respects, however, there were a number of circumstances that exacerbated this particular situation. The nature of the state budget process is such that SUNY lobbys the State Legislature each February to restore cuts that an arm of the Govenor's office makes in its budget request Since they had visited in December, Senators Acker- man and Solomon would have fresh in their mind the fiasco they had just observed. In addition, John Mar- burger, the University's new President, was hired with the intent that he would oversee the clean-up of administrative foul-ups that had been prevalent throughout Stony Brook' s history. Thus, unlike years SUS/CH/C VIUaL/AtIVC- gone by when problems had been identified and for- gotten about, something was going to be done about 51jI.1G t$ ISLAYIL7 this.
