· in . t~e assumption made for· the.~ . ·. ·students of Bingh~mton · that the American dream is dead. · ·

As th~ ~Pipe Dream put it: "At a : · mass meeting ·last year, attended by several thousand members of this community, it' ·wa~ .. decide4-· lh~t . a ·.

· name such as the Colonial News ··was too .easily identified with the inhuman · policy of this. country towards other

Dream_ they ·want and represent th,emselves. however they y.rant. Qnce again, it is

. pure ignorance that _lets the spoiled ~merican . skip these · .important ' details. ~ Rather, we ·· should be thankful t~a(the · apility. to ·publish

. our thougll!s. and opinions is not only -_· allow~~ but is .. our inalienable right. " .

And believe it or not, nowhere in this . . _ .. · . world is this righr more protected· for · ·

you ·than in the · United · S t:ates of Arrlerica. ' · · . ·

· ·· ·The Pipe· t>:r~am qHote-p'oses : a question as to the effecti'leness of a mass raily of thousands of students that "seem to ' indicate" that the American. Dream is a lie .. :But as their

· , peoples of the world ... The decision at that ll!eeting indicated to us a -feeling · that the American Dream is a lie.~." ~ (September. 15,1970) - ·

But at a certain point, .the: irony· of the "-pipe dream" mentality can be

.. ' expect to go, to school for four years only . to graduate and retire themselves to . a . meager_ (though ,mor.e .

·knowledgeable) existence, than I expect that the American Dream is · still very much al~ve. '

., By even saying thaLtlte · Ainerican Dream is a "pipe 'dream", these young Journalists are -pr.oving themselves · wrong. This -group of students-is gi~ven money to say what .

"thousands" of students can do more - for their oppressive society than this! ·

Finally, this. country exists today -because. colonies were established here. The colonists that li\le.d· here

. . established a goverfimcrit and secured · ' . rights for the new America that still

exist today. They"'even . established · your right to. have your official '

' cam:pu~ newspaper represent a "pipe dream·~ and for you .to demonstrate for ~- . that cause. I think it may he time for a new "mass meeting" on the SUNY Bingham toll; :. caJ,n·pus- c:this time to , recognize the ridiculous irony of our . campus publication's title, and do something td change it. And while we are at it, ·maybe it's abot;It time we give tlie Amer,ican people a · little credit for maintaining this democracy
