October 8, 1982 Oktoberfest--A New Tune By John Marston toberfest 1982 was an almost totally new event this year as compared to those held in past years. Many changes were deemed necessary just to make it possible for the Stockton tradition to continue. Responsibility for organization of the Fest went, as in the past, to the Program-ming Board of Campus Activities. Paul Rimmle was in charge of coordinating the Oktoberfest. The most evident change made was a change in the site of the event. Having always been held at Cabin 4, it was held for the first time at the baseball field located next to Housing II. The prime reason for the move was attendance, according to Rimmle. Over 2,200 people were expected, an accurate approximation. Many students objected to the change in site, claiming that loss of the natural surroundings, evident at Cabin 4, took away from the atmosphere. But, according to Ranee Catlin, a major coordinator of the event, had the Fest remained at the cabins, there would have been a cramped atmosphere leading to confrontations. The larger area made for more space and kept heads level. Also new this year was the enclosure of the Fest, as it was completely sur-rounded by a fence. This was the biggest student complaint. Once admitted, fest-goers had to remain inside the area, as opposed to the open policy in past events. Forum On Beirut By Bill Mackin In response to the news of the massacres in Beirut, the General Studies program sponsored an open forum dealing with these tragic events. The forum took place on September 30, at 4:45 p.m., in room B-115 and was moderated by Bill Sensiba of the Political Science faculty. Featured speakers were Fred Brandfon and Sherm Labovitz; Bill Daly, who was also slated to speak, was unable to attend. Approximately 50 people, including faculty and students, were in attendance and more filed in during the course of the forum. The forum was intended to enable the Stockton community to discuss the issues around the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camp masssacres. In order to accom-modate audience reaction and partic-ipation, the speakers were limited to 15 minutes each. \\ Vj V I ; w , » ' jfJ" Buddies revel at this year's Fest.

A major problem,particularly blamed on the fence,was tne long admission lines. Festgoers had to be admitted into the area before being able to mingle with friends. At prior fests, one could be with friends and pay later, thus lines were not long. As many as eight lines were opened up to accomodate Saturday's crowd, but some prospective festgoers left, disgusted with the wait. Some students suggested advance ticket sales would have helped. However, it would have created havoc as there would have been problems distinguishing those of legal drinking age from those who were not. Some students disliked the high prices for tickets. Seven dollars was charged to outside guests, four dollars for Stockton students, and two dollars for non-beer drinkers. But what was not understood was that one dollar from all tickets sold benefitted the Australian Memorial Fund for the families of the Stockton Australian transfer students that had passed away.
