Vol. V, No. 21 University Community's WeeklyPaper Thurs., Mar. 29, 1984I' Albany Road Trip TwoS Busloads of Students Lobby Legislators by Ron Ostertag and Joe Canoni One hundred Stony Brook students hit Albany Monday night to lobby state legislators on a variety of student re- lated issues, including Dorm Cooking, the Utility Fee, and the 21 year old drinking age. They returned pleased, knowing that the increase in tuition had been killed the week prior, that the 21 year old drinking age bill would be bottled up in committee for the rest of the year, and that legislators who had never heard of the Utility Fee before were now considering it as the problem that it is. In addition, SUNY officials agreed to urge Stony Brook's admi- nistration to be more reasonable in their implementation of the Marburger Dorm Cooking Policy. The trip, organized by SASU or- ganizer Troy Oeschner and Polity Media co-ordinator Paul DiLorenzo, was the second lobbying trip of the Capital year, but was on a much larger scale S.B. student lobbyists having breakfast in Albany than the first.
