by Dr. Myron B. Kuropas Квітень 1981 Ціна 75 ц. Рік 31 Traditionally, ethnic Americans have asked for and received little from their government. They have worked hard, preferred to establish their own self-help institutions whenever they could, and loyally supported this nation in its efforts to stem the tide of Soviet imperialism. In a sense, they were "Reaganites" long before Ronald Reagan became president. Most ethnic Americans supported the 1980 GOP platform which emphasized "strong families, secure and prosperous neighborhoods," and support for "the captive nations of Central and Eastern Europe in their hopes to achieve self-determination." Accustom­ ed to ah open White House during the Ford and Carter administrations, ethnic leaders believed Mr. Reagan's campaign coordinators who assured them that their opinions regarding policy issues of concern to their communities would continue to be solicited. At the very least, Mr. Reagan's ethnic supporters were convinced, the modest "new ethnicity"gains they were able to achieve during the 1970s would remain in place. Today, 13 months after the election, ethnic aspirations have dimmed considerably. In the minds of some, much of the progress — which never amounted to moiC than the recognition of ethnic legitimacy within the American social order'— has been reversed. The White House, they believe, has closed its doors to all but the select and privileged few. During the past year, ethnic American activists have made note of the fact that: ' 1. The Office of Ethnic Liaison within the Republican National Committee was eliminated along with direct access to GOP decision-makers. о 2. The position of special assistant to the president for ethnic affairs, established by President Gerald Ford and continued by President Jimmy Carter, was abolished along with direct access to White House aides. о 3. Funding for the modest (S2.3 million) Ethnic Heritage Studies program has not been recommended. " 4. Project Senior Ethnic Find, a VISTA outreach program for poor ethnic elderly, has been scrapped. " 5. No White House conferences to discuss ethnic concerns have been scheduled. " 6. Moral and fiscal support for the grass-roots neighborhood-revitalization program has evaporated. In a recent interview with Neil Peirce (Chicago Sun- Times, November 25, 1981), President Reagan's geographic bias was clearly evident when, in defense of energy severance taxes of southern and western states, he argued that the resultant burden on the Midwest and Northeast (where most ethnics live) was not a Reprinted courtesy of Lys Mykyls magazine Lys Mykyta, the Ukrainian-language magazine of humor and satire published by artist and caricaturist concern of the federal government but of the marketplace.

by Adriana Rohowsky

NEW YORK - A tall and barren pine tree stood in the lobby of the Ukrainian Institute of America on December 19. Its top peaked to the second floor, and its lowermost branches spread across the marble lobby. It looked lonely, as if waiting for the smallest bit of tinsel or garland to decorate its empty branches. It didn't have to wait long. A few students trickled into the institute after noon, and quickly and quietly took to decorating the tree that they had brought to the institute the night before. The students, from an assortment of colleges in the Metropolitan area - NYU, Columbia, St. John's, New York Tech, as well as from Rutgers-New Brunswick,, Rutgers-Newark, Queens College, Cooper Union, Fdrdham University and Hunter College - worked with a fervor seldom seen. Tiny white lights - 700 minuscule stars - soon twinkled on the 13-foot tree. Decorations followed — hand-painted glass ornaments with a Ukrainian motif, hand-made Ukrainian dolls and golden beetles with beaded legs made by the NYU students. Other students took to decorating the rest of the institute. Live garland, complete with big red bows, went up on the banister. Wreaths went up on the doors, and the fireplaces were trimmed with live garland. By this time there were students throughout the institute; about 70 ctudents took part in the decorating party sponsored by the NYU Ukrainian Students' Association. Laughter filled the large rooms of the institute. Christmas carols were sung spontaneously, and a feeling of joy and-comradery filled the air. The tree was beautiful. It no longer looked barren, and its sparkling beauty filled the lobby with a warm glow. As the students began trickling out,ofjthe Soch'ynsky institute; their tree remained shinin'gMn the lobby as a Students take a break from Christmas-tree decorating at the Ukrainian Institute of America on December 19 reminder of their presence. to pose for a group snapshot.
