bv Joseph CaPoni Public Safety's plainclothes Public Assi- stance Team (PAT) is "the new wave in campus police work," according to its leader, Lt. Doug Little. But problems regarding the team's purpose and ques- tions regarding its actions may well widen the gap between students and Public ' Safety instead of reducing it. Little, who is also Public Safety's Community Relations officer, explained that the month-old squad, consisting of himself and six other officers, was insti- tuted to ensure safety at events such as parties, where uniformed officers might be undesirable. In addition, PAC's intent is to be "pro-active" in preventing crime rather than reactive to crimes that have already occurred. But problems have arisen. Richard Bentley, President of the Faculty Student Association, stated that officers of the Public Assistance Team have been coming into the End Of The Bridge Restaurant nearly every night and employees have reported to him that on at least one occassion, PAT officers approached bar patrons asking where they could purchase marijuana. The PAT officers disagree and claim The P.A.T.: (I. to r.)

by Gregory J. Scandaglia The Stony Brook Equestrian Club has, for the third consecutive season, vanquished 26 schools in the New York metropolitan area to become Region 1 champions of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA). The IHSA is comprised of eight regions covering 20 states and about 125 schools. Stony Brook squeaked by Pace University as the top college in Region 1 by win- ning 5 of its 9 shows during the season. George Lukemire, a coach for the Equestrian Club, stated, "We finished very strong, especially in the last two shows of the season. That was all we needed to push ahead of Pace." This victory enabled the Stony Brook club to remain in possession of the coveted Founders Cup. For the third straight year, the club was honored at the annual Regional Horse Show where the Founders Cup is presented. The Regional Horse Show, which took place on April 18 in West Orange, New Jersey, was a time of individual as well as team glory for the Stony Brook club.

The next issue, due in Fall 1982, will Germany), Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Al- bania divide into two major linguistic groups: Slavic languages, and the non-Slavic tongues: Hungarian, Albanian, and Rumanian. Linguists separate the Slavic languages into three groups: West Slavic: Polish, Czech and Slovak (Czechoslovakia); East Slavic: Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian (Russian); and South Slavic: Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, and Macedonian (Yugoslavia), and Bulgarian (Bulgaria). The non-Slavic tongues are German (G.D.R.), Rumanian (Rumania), and two very distinct non-Indo- European languages: Hungarian, belonging to the family Finno- Ugric, and Albanian, to the Thraco-Illyric family. Adding to the linguistic diversity of Eastern Europe is the survival throughout the centuries of minor languages alongside the major Slavic tongues. Yiddish is an excellent example. Pro- fessor Maurice Friedberg of the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign delivered a paper on the relation of Yiddish literature to its Slavic neighbors. Defining Yiddish as a minor language, one which translates more languages into its own tongue than vice versa, Professor Friedberg outlined the history of Yiddish in Europe and the problems it has encountered. At one point in its history, Friedberg recounted, Yiddish was threatened with extinction. First, secular Yiddish literature was ignored by Ortho- dox Jews who only read sacred literature in Hebrew. Second, when the Zionist movement gained momentum, many Jews aban- doned the use of Yiddish in favor of Hebrew. Third, Jews throughout Eastern Europe who desired to be assimilated into their surrounding culture adopted the native tongue and thus
