Thorp Opposes Organizational
state Budget Meeting Of Lynbrook
Saturday March 31st was officially American Field Service Day in
Lynbrook. Co-Presidents Vera Gordon and Matty Rich [above]
solicited the business section for donations and received a generous
response.
Private Homes were covered by the two Presidents aided by team
captains and High School students. The Fund Raiser is to enable the
local chapter to send and receive students from other countries.
A.F.S. promotes understanding and also gives the students who
participate an overwhelming realization of the oneness of mankind.
Assemblyman John S. Thorp,
Jr. in voting against the adoption
of the state budget, sharply
criticized its failure to provide a
substantial increase in state aid
for Nassau County school
districts.
In a statement Assemblyman
Thorp said: "The major concern
of Nassau County homeowners is
the heavy burden of the property
tax which only be eased by ad-ditional
state assistance. In a
budget which is nearly one billion
dollars higher than last year's,
school aid, which should have
received the highest priority, was
barely increased despite the
pleas of Nassau residents.
"This neglect was compounded
by the failure to enact the an-ticipated
income tax cuts. With
agreement by the entire
Legislature that a large surplus
exists, it was completely
irresponsible not to repeal the
income tax Incrcoiaeis
year.
"The net effect of this action is
to continue for another year the
pressing local tax burden that
supports our schools so that the
Governor can save the surplus
for his pet projects in Election
Year 1974," Thorp continued.
"I will continue to work in the
weeks ahead to force a reversal
of this ill-advised action which is
contrary to the best interests of
Nassau County taxpayers," the
statement concluded.

Local Student On Navajo Radio
BELOIT, Wis. - Working lor
Ramah Navajo Radio in Ramah,
N.M. is the interesting winter
term placement of a Beloit
College student from Lynbrook
N.Y.
He is Russell Farber, son of
Mr, and Mrs, Victor Farber, 163
Atlantic Ave., Lynbrook. Ho is a
graduate of Lynbrook High
School.
P'arber is on Field Term, the
period of work, service, or
research required of every Beloit
student.
Russell writes from Ramah
that he monitors broadcasts, fills
in the engineering logs, does
programming, plays tapes and
performs other on-the-air tasks.
The Field Term in which he is
participating provides an op-portunity
for students to escape
the academic life, to test abilities
and interests and to mature in the
adult world. Beloit students have
served in government offices,
industry outdoor camps, social
agencies and other capacities in
almost every state and in more
than 30 foreign countries.
Often geographic location
proves to be the most
enlightening part of the Field
Term experience. Positions are
often career oriented, but
frequently students seek em-ployment
in unfamiliar en-viornments.
The Beloit Plan of education is
a flexible one that allows the
student to choose which eight
terms he will be in academic
work on the campus. The on-campus
time is usually con-centrated
at the beginning of the
college career and at the end, so
that students have the op-portunity
to spend much of their
time away from campus during
the middle period when the
academic community seems
p a r t i c u l a r l y restricting.
