For social activists who blemma the passing of the 1980s and tremble at the state of Washington liberalism, the message is clear.
At least that's the advice offered by one Lawrence activist group, the People's Network, in each issue of *The New York newspaper*, the People's Newsletter.
"Over the years, the 1980s movement has broken down, become fragmented," Ben Zimmerman, associate professor of social welfare and a Network founder, said recently.
"Network hopes to find ways to keep activists together, to make single-issue groups mutually supportive of each other."
SINCE ITS FOUNDING last March, Network has been enormously successful, Zimmerman said.
"We print and distribute 500 issues every month," he said, "and we co-sponsored several lectures. All in mind, we've been very successful."
According to Zimmerman, Network was formed to provide area
activists with a pool of information and support.
"We're a group of individuals who share a common philosophy and basic goals," he said. "We're all committed though our involvement in various issues, to peace, justice and progressive social change."
Network's primary function is that of an information sharer, Zimmerman said. Network members, who usually belong to one or more community activist groups, receive the information and coordinate events.
Network hopes to devote much of its time over the next year to issues addressed by the seagan administration's proposed budget slashes. Zimmerman said.
"We hope to pull Lawrence campus and community activist groups together on what we believe is an important problem," he said. "The cutbacks in social programs and the buildup of the military are interrelated. We need to pull together as a community and out how we're going to survive."
Zimmerman said that the next few meetings of Network would probably deal with ways to combat the proposed budget cuts.

Housey, Crawford rewarded with selection in NBA draft
While All-Big Eight guard Darnel Valentine was grabbing national headlines during much of last season, the steady improvement of Jayhawk center Art House and forward John Crawford proved to be an important factor in the success of the Jayhawk's post-season play.
By CHRIS TODD Staff Reporter
Housey, a 6-foot-10-inch center, was taken by the expansion Dallas Cowboys in their third round, while Owaterson was taken by Philadelphia in the seventh round.
As expected, Valentine was chosen early in the draft. He was the 16th player taken overall and the first round pick of the Portland Trailblazers.
HOUSEY AND CRAFWORD were,
however, also rewarded for their late-
work.
"Right now," said Housey, "my chances are pretty good going into training camp. I have to be in good shape they expect that from everybody."
"Most of my basketball is ahead of me," said Housey. "I'm not looking to get into the spotlight right away. I'm more interested in developing my skills so that I can be the player I know I am capable of being."
Housey anchored the team with his improved shooting and rebounding during the Jayhawk's post-season play.
"I only see it one way," said, "you have to be ready to go into camp. At this level, basketball is a business, and if you don't need the team, you'll want even the copier."
Crawford, who started last season as the Jayhawk's sixth man, but ended up a starter, is looking at his chances with an open mind.
JAYHAWK COACH TED OWENS said he was delighted with the drafting of Housey and Crawford.
"They were both very deserving of being drafted," said Owens. "It seems to me all of them are going to fine teams.
"I think the fact that Art was picked by an expansion team will really help his chances, and of course John's going to a fine team in Philadelphia."

Intense emotional fallout from the recent Israeli bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor has resulted in anger among Kansas students from both countries.
Dhia Abdulamir, Baghdad, Iraq, junior, said he was "sad and angry" to hear of last Sunday's attack on the al-Qaeda reactor just outside his hometown.
The $275-million French-built Oisak reactor had been under construction since the mid-70s and was expected to be completed this summer.
THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT said the reactor was being readied to manufacture nuclear weapons to be used against Israel. Iraq denied this
charge and asked for a meeting of the U.N.Security Council.
Abdulamir, rejected the use of nuclear power in any country and said the squabble over the intended use of the Iraqi reactor was not important.
"I think the intention was not to make nuclear arms. But that's not the issue. The issue is a country attacking another country and destroying things. It's a real act of aggression," Abdulmarir said.
The bombing quickly reversed his once moderate opinion in the Arab-Israeli conflict to a more defensive stance, Abdulmair said.
"What kind of peace do they want? To be a policeman in the Middle East! I don't think this is the kind of peace anyone can accept," he said.
THE ATTACK CAME during a period of increased tensions in the Middle East
because of Israeli objections to the presence of Syrian anti-aircraft missiles in Lebanon. Israel, which has not attacked Iraq since the 1967 Mideast War, has succeeded only in raising his own suspicions and intensifying hostile feelings throughout the Mideast. Abdulamir said.
"It's not a helpful act at all. If they keep going the way they are now, the problem will never end. It's sad. People need to live, need to develop themselves. Instead, they just fight," he said.
Babulamir said he feels the Arab-Israeli conflict will continue until the United States takes an unbiased initiative in settling disputes. The United States currently backs Israel with economic and military aid.
"It's for the people of the United States to listen to two sides of the story
and be as discreet as possible in their judgement. This (the U.S.) is a country of freedom and wants to help other countries be the same." Ababilam说,
Unlike Abdulamir, an Israeli couple, supporting the opposition Labor Party, were genuinely shocked to hear of the attack.
However, Shlomo Erez, Rechovot, Israel, graduate student and his wife Hagar, Kibbots Ma'abarot, Israel, graduate student, both support their vision to bomb the reactor, they said, if the attack was for the right reason.
THE DECISION BY ISRAEL
Prime Minister Menachem Begin to attack came same three weeks before the decision he made to decide the chief official's political fate.

"People were trying to relate it to the elections," Silhone Erez said. "It's possible, but according to Israeli details it was not. If it is true that they were using the reactor for A-bombs, I think it was the right time."

He also pointed out Iran's attempt to destroy the reactor last September during the Iranian-iraq war for the same reasons as Israel.
"Begin said we're not going to apologize, but we don't need to be left all alone in the world with nobody defending us," she said.
Hagar Erer expressed her concern for the repercussions the bombing may create during U.S. presidential envoy Mike Habb's peace mission to the Midgai.
"They were afraid for the same reason Israel was afraid," he said. "Unfortunately, they did not do a good job. Israel just completed it."
ABDULAMIR STRESSED the necessity of American interest in the Palestinians cause, as well as Israel's to smooth relations in the Middle East.
Both Abudalam and the Ereses agree that there is a need for a Palestinian state, and a necessity to talk and to listen.
"Basically, we two feel there should be a Palestinian state. We see the right." Shimoo Ersay said.
"I willring to talk to them and say, 'Sure, we recognize you,' but they need to recognize us too, it's not only one-sided." Hager Eraed added.
"They want to have the right to exist, and nobody listens to them, Abdulamir said. "There is a Palestine."
