Restruction of NA D
Discussed in Arizona
LiorAzen
AssocuTE NEWS ECXTOR
On the third weekend ofNovember, SBG
President Tory Wilding and his Vice­Presi­
dent, Jeff Bravin, flew to Phoenix, Arizona.
They represented Gallaudet at a conference
of the National A ssociation of the Deaf
(NAD). NAD's main mission is to provide
advocacy to deaf people.
About 160 people came from all over the
United States. They included representatives
from state associations, Gallaudet, NilD,
CSUN, and other groups related to deafness.
The goal of this conference was to dis­
cuss the future of the NAD and make recom­
mendations for changes which would im­
prove the structure and functioning of the
NAD.
It was decided that a fw­profit corpora­
tion would be added to the structure so that
more funds could be drawn for advocacy
activities. NA D faced excessive expenses
last year and was beginning to experience
somefinancialcrisis.
Accwding to Wilding, all the pec^le
IHesent at the conference divided up into
small discussion groups and came up with
group recommendations and ideas. These
recommendations will be discussedand noted
at the naticmal conference that will be held
next summer.
Wilding felt the conferoKe was success­
ful and he enjoyed it He 1 ^ the opportunity
to meet many leaders and learn about differ­
ent styles of leadership, giving him some
ideas on how to run things here at Gallaudet
Wildingadded that he learned different view­
points of life from the people he met, and
bojpes that this increased knowledge will help
him be a mcwe effective SBG President and
provide better service to the students of Gal­
laudet Wilding also noted that he and Bravin
have already discussed and made plans for
many more things to be done in the next few
months and that students will learn of these
plans soon.
Student Court Investigated
Jerry Kapsner
NEWS REPORTER
There were complaints by some students
about Chief Justice Bill Millios' inaction in
selecting the 12 jurws for the Student Court.
In response to these grievances, Millios
explained certain points in the SBG
constitution to prove his point diat the Stu­
dent Court really has no power to do any­
thing.
In A rticle V, section 2c of the SBG
Constitution, it states that the Chief Justice
has the power to "select twelve (12) Student
Court junxs, with the consent of the Student
Congress for court and impeachment {xoce­
duies". Ifowevo', Millios also pointed out
that in Article m Section 8e it states that the
Student Congress has "the sole power to
impeach Executive Branch officers of the
Student Body Government with the Chief
Justice presiding", and in 8f of the same
Article, the Student Congress has the power
"to impeach Judical Branch officers with the
Student Congress Speaker presiding".
AccM'ding to Millios, this means that

HBIOS Lab Break­In
Jerry Kapsr)er
NEWS REPORTER
A breidc­in occurred in the HIBIOS lab
in the HMB sometime between ^rni on
November 5th and the morning of November
6th. The crime was discovered by Economics
professor Dr. Ken Campbell, and was the
latest in a series of break­ins that started last
May. The burglar attempted to Ixeak into the
software cabinet but failed. Similar break­ins
occurred last May, just befwe the end of the
spring semester, and in September, accrad­
ing to Steve Fochtman, HIBIOS researcher.
In May, a burglar punched a hole in the
wall next to the door to the compute­ lab of
HIBIOS, opened the dow through the hole,
and stole a complete IBM PS/2 Model SO
computer plus the inside of a Model SO hard
disk drive from another computer. In Sq>­
tember, the Biok)gy Dqjartment office was
Ixtdcen into, but nothing was disturbed save
for a few sheets of paper strewn around. A
person also attempted to break into the
HIBIOS lab again, butfailed. The Iveak­in on
November Sth followed the same patton as
the May burglary. A hole was made in the
same place on the wall, which had been
covered with a wire screen and plaster after
thefirstburglary.
When asked about DOSS's conduct in
the investiption of these crimes, Fochtman
responded that they checked everywhere for
evidence, including fingeiprints, but found
nothing. "I learned something about finger­
prints," he said. He ex|4ained that after dust­

Adult and continuing education is part of a learning jnocess which permeates
one's lifefixMnthe womb to tomb. Or, as we say in our business, it's a life­long
learning affair.
Gallaudet provides graduate credit courses to teachers and counselms around
the nation and in other countries. FacultyfixrniGallaudet fly to die site of the course
and teach {Hofessionals who need to iq)grade dieir skills and knowledge in various
disciplines related to deaf and hard of hearing students or clients. The courses are not

An impwtant constituency that Gallaudet serves is family membos. With 90%

continuing education. Informed and invdved parents become important advoc^es
fw deaf persons.
AnothiH'vital constitumcy are the "grey panthers" who are losing hearing as a
function ofaging. Gallaudet provides training on acconunodations,asastive devices
and different means of communications. Gallaudet also worics with many groups of
hard of hearing adults who need ceding skills and who want to congregate as siqqpwt
grovps.
Community education, another vital aqieacrfcontinuing education, makes the
community a more accessible place iot all its citizens. This inclues providing
seminars todoct(M^,lawyers,govemmentworic«^employers, hotel andho^ital ad­

First (A all, I'd like to tell you what haiqiened at die "Fulton Revisited"
conference in Phoeiux, Arizona. At this meeting, about 160 delegates from
associations dilovo'the country met to discuss the future of the National Association
ofdieDeaf. We met in small groups and gadieredtogedier twice to gather die ideas
and concerns which were expressed in die smallo' meetings. Things which we
discussed were die mission, goals, pcqmlation, and structure of the NAD. Several
minorrecommendations were made. The biggestchange that we recommended was
dieaddition(^afor-profitcorporationtodie^ructureofdieNAD. We felt diat diis
change is necessary because we need to raise funds so that die main goal of the NAD,
advocacy, can be effectively implemented.
Anotho-diing diat we have successfully completed is aroughdraft of a proposal
to increase die unit fee. The SBG. Buff and Blue. Tower Qock, and everyone else
who has been getting a portion of the unit fees have been losing money in recent years
due to inflation and increasing needs of die students. Thus, an increase in the unit fee
is needed badly. As a result of increasing the unit fee, we will be able to provide much
better services for the students and generally m^styit the quality of life on campus.
This proposal is presendy in the hands of Dr. Howard Busby, our Dean oi Student
Affairs. He wUlreviewit and revise it very soon and send it along to the President's
Council, where diey will decide if die Board should see diis proposal. After die
President's Council, it is up to our Board of Trustees to decide whedier the unit fee
will be increased. We are hqiing diat diis proposal will be aiqiroved and put into
effect by die fall semester of 1990.
We have begun to develop new goals for various dqjartments within the SBG
and we wdl keep you posted on the result of our woik.

The B^lin Wall is a major symbol of die
division of Eur(^ and the Cokl War. Before
the buildmg of the Borlin Wall, millions of
East Germans emigrated to West Berlin and
West Germany for political, economic and
human rights reasons. With Soviet aid, the
East German government decided to close
the escape route by erecting a 26-inile wall
around West Beriin in August 13,1%1. It
took 28 years to remove the infamous Berlin
Wall. TIfe destruction was spurred on by
Egon Krenz, die new Premier of East Germany. Kienz was pressed to do that by the
massive demonstratkms by the East Gemum
citzcas. Finally, "The Wall" was torn down
ooNovember9.1989.From 1%1 to 1989,at
least 5X)00 East Germans attempted to cross
the walL 191 people have been killed for
atten^Ning K> escqie. About anoutber 5/X)0
people managed to escape thdr way to freedom by tunneling. Masting, flying, climbing,
driving or walking. Some credit must be
given to Mfldoul Gorbachev for diis occurreaoe, because he allowed die Eastern EiBOpeao coimtries torantqr diransdves without

"But if you arc supposed to complete both Algebra I and U.then you
should not allow too much time to pass in between them or you'll forget
everything you learned before."
Quite true. This is what I experienced this very semester. I last attended
Gallaudet in 1985, way back when Ronald Reagan was still the Teflon
president I finally decided to come back to Gallaudet this fall 1989. Four years
and not once was I required to use any of the elementary algebra I had
previously "learned."
When I was selecting my course opti<nis for this semester, I allowed my
ego to prevail and selected Algebra n instead of arefreshercourse of Algebra

miserably because I didn'trememberanything from before. I withdrew from
that class to save my skin. Then I received that letter.
While I agree that the classes should be taken one after the other, that is not
the point Fm trying to work towards.
Remember what I said about the letter being a form letter, very impo­sonal,
very ignorant of individual situations. I have justreturnedto school and now
am already being threatened with the boot for not ccmipleting the requirement

to take a fcneign language, two years of it, but I am not told to get it done within
the next four or less semesters. So, I ask the Madiematics Department and
Dean Williams this—Why can'twe be allowed toreservethe satisfying of this

Fred lay in his hospital bed, wheezing, dying, listening to his life evj^XMBte away. As he
looked around the room, he contemplated his successes, his failures, his life that soon would
be no more.
Fred had always had a fear of hospitals, and this situation certainly was not helping; he
was on his last breath, laying here in the Reclin­a­bed in the bo^ital. It was not, he thought
sarcastically, a great place to die.
Next to his bed, his daughter Aim prattled on about trivialities, sui^sedly to make him
forget his pain, but which instead served only to remind him of how soon such things would
matter to him no more.
"...and Mrs. Duncan, you know her ­ she lives next door to Cousin Judith, sent you some
absolutely marvelousflowers;I have no idea where they could ever And daisies in March,
really. I'll have to send her a thank you card; it was such a nice gesture."
"And she can send a sympathy card inreturn,after I'm gone," Fred retorted.
A moment of shocked silence blanketed the room. The small group ofrelativeswho had
been huddling in the opposite ccHtierreviewinghis medical charts (as far as Fred was
concerned, they werereadinghis obituary) stopped their mumbling, and looked at him with
surprise.
His best friend Jon, who had been slipping off to sleep in the only comfortable chair in
the room, jerked awake.
"Daddy, now that's a silly thing to say." Ann was having a hard time accepting the fact
that in just a few minutes, only a hard crusty shell of his fwmer vibrant self would remain.
"Why is it so silly?" Fred asked deq>erately. "We all know I'm going to die. Why not
just let me do it in peace, all by my miserable self, without all these peq>le crowding around
with somberexpressions, without Mrs. Duncan having to search Sot daisies in March, without
my having to put a smile on my face just so you people will think I'm going peacefully?"
Jon sat up in his chair. "Umm, pet^le, could we clear the room, please? I see a need for
a couple of buddies to have a heart­to­heart"
"Daddy, I don't think..." Ann's voice trailed off as Jon gently butflrmly steered her and
the others out of the room.
"Fred, you crusty old bastard! Ifow could you do something like that to your family?"
"WeU, I'm the one laying here in the bed, and they're the ones who are walking around
talking about daisies. I'm fed up with it I'm fed iq) with living, I'm fed up with dying. I just
wish it was over, so they could all go back to their everyday lives. They'll all be much haiq>ier
when I'm gone, anyway."
"That's a silly thing to say!"
"Is it? They miss work, the kids miss school activities, everybody has to tiptoe around
trying to seem nonchalant, but the farce is so thin, really." Fred turned his head to look out
the window, to watch the snow falling gently on the bushes outside. Soon, he morosed, it
would be falling on his grave.
Jon sat down and thought for a minute.
"Fred, are you dying a happy man?"
"It's not imp(Ktant."
Jon sighed. "Fred, do you believe in life after death?"
"That's mumbo jumbo. When I die, that's it End of the line. The caboose has passed."
"So, you're upset because you believe you have nothing to look fwward to..."
"Hmm, well, yeah. Itall feels so futile. A man busts his rear, w(Mkingfora living, raising
a family, and then he dies. What's the value of giving to others if you can't take it with you?"
Jon stood up. "I can guarantee that there is life after death."
"Ahh, that's crap." Fred reached {<K the remote control, to turn on the televisicm and
drown out Joo's nagging voice.
Jon tocdc theremoteawayfromhim, and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Do you want me to prove there is life afva death?" he challenged.
"Yeah, sure, make yourself happy. It won't matter in a few minutes anyway..."
Jon got up, walked over to the door, opened it, and walked out
"What a twit Now he's gone and forgotten all about me." Fred said to himself.
"No, I didn't" Jon walked in the room. As he came closer to the bed. Fred was able to

Jon sat down on the chair, leaving the two of them intimate.
"Granddaddy, I know you're sick." she said.
"Yes, my dear, I am." Fred didn't have the heart to say more, and tried to look out the
window again.
Nora was persisienq she tiqiped on his shoulder to get bis attention again.
"Are you going to die. Granddaddy?" she asked.

i^proximately 150,000 - 300,000 people rallied to the Lincoln
Ifemorlal on Sunday, November 12th to show their support for the
pro-choice side of the abortion issue.
Since May 1988, over 36 thousand people have been arrested
in Operation Rescue's clinic operations (Operation Rescue is
a pro-life demonstrating/lobbying organization). This is the
largest organized display of civil disobedience since Vietnam.
How do you feel about abortion? If you would permit it, in
what situations would you feel it is appropriate, and when would
you have moral qualms?

Well, to be honest with you, diis is one of die few areas where I've been unsuccessful in

doesn't want to lose West Germany since
many A merican rockets, misales. tanks,

Germany. The Soviet Union doesn't want to
lose East Germany. That means the German
reunification is a very complex situatkm, but
both Germanies w o ^ be more integrated in

B&B: I have been talking widi some
Gaily students about the German reunifica­

your comment about diat?

Student Court Investigation...
Continued from Page 2
the Student Congress has the power to impeach only three people: the President, Vice
President, and the Chief Justice. "This is a
weakness in the Constitution", he added.
Asked whether the Student Congress
has the power to impeach the rest of the SBG
wofkers, MiUios replied that diey are "not
officers". However, there is a conflicting
point in Article IV, Section 3 of the
ConstiUition which qiecifies that "The President shaU have the power to fire any Executive Branch officers and shaU notify the Student Congress of the dismissed".
MilUos stated that since the Student
Congress has the power to impeach through
their own procedures, there is no power left in
thatrespectfor the Student Court Inthecase
(^conflicts between two organizations, the
Inter-Organizational Council is reqxxisible
for mediating the differences. Conflicts between Greek organizations are mediated by
the Inter-Fratemal Council or the Inter-Sorraity Council. As to confUcts between individuals on campus, the Judicial Board, which
is under the jurisdiction of the Dean of
Student Affairs, has the power to oversee
those conflicts.
Resp(Miding to a question of why the
Student Court cannot be reqxmsible for deliberating individual matters between sQidents, MiUiosrepliedthat the adminisbation
is responsible for the safety and welfare of the
students and aU other disciplinary matters
that occur on the Gallaudet campus. Specifically, the Department of Student Life is reqmnsiUe fw that, so the Judicial Board was
established to give students the opportunity
to be judged by their peers and to relieve
some pressure from the people in Student
Life who. without the Judicial Board, would
have to listen to every case and aU the Avitnesses inv(4ved. Us said that the Judkial
Board is fair to the students, since it involves
students themselves and students have a
chance to defend themselves in court. All in
aU. his final answer was that the twelve jurors
were not selected "because there is really
nothing for them to do, and I see no reason to
interview, screen, and select twelve people to
sit around and do nothing."

Major Events of the
SBG in the MidFifties
Darrei Drake
SPORTS EIXTOR
On May 13.19S4. Davkl Anthony, who
was the secretary of the SBG. wrote a letter to
President Elstad concerning a rumor that
foeign students living in Gallaudet dorms
would be separatedfromAmerican students.
Anthony also mentioned that the SBG was
against plans of this kind. Elstad. in his next
letter(onMay 17,19S4), said that the foreign
students were separated for federal reasons.
This plan was later found to be a cover-up to
allow those American students who were
turned down to enter Gallaudet
On May 20.1954. a student named Miss
Kovach ptqiosed that the secretary write a
letter to Elstad. All the items at that time
belonging to Gallaudet woe stiU marked
"Columbia Institutkm for the Deaf' at that
time- stationery, for example. The letter
urged the administration to cinnge those items
to lead "GaUaudet CoUege".
On May 24,19S4, the SBG complained
to die college adminstration fw sending the
student's blacklists to their parents. Gecxge
Detmold, who was the dean at that time, said
it was for the parents to read and to isevent
themfromcriticizing the coUege adminstration fn- their children's bad grades.
At the next meeting, on Sei^mbet 28,
19S4, hazing became a hot issue as Elstad
sent the SBG a letter urging diem to btm
hazingfromaUoiganizations. Bushnaq,who
at that time was a student, im^x)sed that the
student body bsn aU bodUy hazing not mental
hazing. Elstad laler agreed to this compromise.
On another note, the SBG were considering changing the Gallaudet nickname
"Bison" because Ifoward Univarsity had the
same name. Later on the students of Gallaudet voted to keep the name even though
Howard University had picked it first
