1982 marked another year of frus tration and futility for the two-yearold Madrid Conference to review compliance with the 1975 Helsinki Accords on security and human rights in Europe. When the confe rence agreed to recess on March 12, the 35 participating states were still unable tp hammer out a final com7 munique, as East and West re mained at loggerheads over such key issues as human rights and the particulars of a post-Madrid dis armament conference. The impasse was further exacerbated bydevelopments in Poland and the continued Soviet presence in Afghanistan.

Denaturalization
Although 1982 saw no new cases brought by the Justice Department against Ukrainians suspected of collaborating with the Germans during World War II, several ongoing cases resulted in defendants being stripped of their U.S. citizenship. On February 4, Michael Derkacz, a 73-year-old retired w i n d o w washer from New York, had his citizenship revoked after a federal judge ruled that he had withheld information about his service in a German-controlled police unit. The following month, on March 30, BohdanKoziy, 59, was stripped of his naturalized citizenship. On October 22, the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations, which is charged with locating and bringing to trial suspected war criminals and collaborators, moved to have the Florida hotel-keeper deported. Deportation proceedings were also initiated against Cleveland autoworker John Demjanjuk, 62, who lost his citizenship in March 1981 after a federal court ruled that he had not disclosed his service as a guard at the Treblinka concentration camp when applying to enter the United States under the Displaced Persons Act. At the heart of the Ukrainian community's opposition to the denaturalization proceedings is the Justice Department's continued use of Soviet-supplied witnesses and material evidence in most of the cases. Several Ukrainian groups, most notably the Ukrainian American Bar Association, had a busy year meeting with officials from the Justice Department and Congress in an effort to ensure that the defendants receive a fair trial and full protection of their rights under the law. For their part, officials of the Office of Special Investigations, particularly its director, Allan A. Ryan Jr., made themselves available to explain the OSI's position and to

On January 3, Mr. Ryan and Lowell Jensen, assistant attorney general, met with representatives of six East European groups, including the UABA. In the spring, East European community leaders and lawyers met with several congressmen, presenting them with a 10-point list of recommendations and grievances which included a demand that the government review the OSI's use of Soviet information. It must be said that Mr. Ryan showed a particular sensitivity to the concerns of this country's East European communities, which have been especially affected by the denaturalization proceedings, because many of the defendants come

Churches
The Ukrainian Catholic hierarchs in the United States started work early this year. After issuing an appeal on the eve of the New Year that called on all Ukrainian Ameri cans of good will to contribute toward a special fund to aid needy Ukrainians in Poland, they turned to fraternal societies, financial institu tions as well as individuals to send contributions to the fund. The re sults were phenomenal; to date the hierarchs have sent over 585,000 worth of parcels and supplies to Po land. No sooner did this project get under way than the hierarchs began planning celebrations in obser vance of Patriarch Josyf Slipyj's 90th birthday. Forming an ad-hoc committee, comprised of represen tatives of 35 Ukrainian American organizations, the hierarchs of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States sponsored a concert that paid tribute to the patriarch. It was held in Philadelphia on February 28. The. concert was preceeded by weeklong festivities in Rome for the primate of the 'Pomisna' Ukrainian Catholic Church, which attracted over 500 persons - clergy and laity - the week of February 13-20. Faithful unable to attend the cele bration in Rome, or the concert in Philadelphia, sponsored other con certs and programs to mark the 90th birthday of the patriarch as well as ttiil 65th anniversary of his ordi nation in their own communities. In 1982, Patriarch Josyf was also named to the papal academy of St. Thomas Aquinas. The academy's membership is reserved for those persons who, through their studies a/id works, have advanced the philo sophy of St. Thomas. The patriarch, unfortunately, re ceived bad news as welt in the form of a letter from the head of the Holy Eastern Congregation, Cardinal Wladislaw Rubin, which issued a warning to the Ukrainian Catholic Church. The three points under lined in the letter included: the denial of the establishment of the Ukrainian Patriarchate; the fact that the synod of bishops can be con vened only with the consent of the pope and that it cannot elect bi shops; and the reminder that Arch bishop-Coadjutor Myroslav Lubachivsky has already been named the successor to Cardinal Slipyj, as archbishop of Lviv. The most recent news from Rome indicates that the pope has approv ed a meeting of the Synod of Ukrai nian Catholic Bishops to take place in early 1983. The Catholics were not the only ones observing anniversaries and birthdays this year. The head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A., Metropolitan Mstyslav Skrypnyk, celebrated his 84th birth day and the 40th anniversary of his episcopacy. Celebrations in his honor were held in May in South Bound Brook, N.J. Throughout the year, Pope John Paul II appointed several Ukrainians to positions in the Ukrainian Catho lic Church. On September 25, Bishop Myro slav Marusyn was named the titular archbisnop of Cadeun. in addition, he was appointed secretary of the

Will the twain e'er meet? 1982 brought no relief from the rift within the Ukrainian community over the fateful, and perhaps fatal, 13th Congress of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America held in October 1980. In March of 1982 the executive committee of the Committee for Law and Order in the UCCA released a statement announcing that it had begun preparations for a national convention of Ukrainian organizations whose aim would be to create a coordinating center for Ukrainian Americans. The committee also announced that it was opening an office in New York City and that representatives would visit Ukrainian communities throughout the country in order to inform them of the committee's activity and progress in convention preparations. Branches of the Committee for Law and Order in the UCCA were established in several cities, and the committee executives met a number of times during the year to assess the situation at hand and plan the convention. The Ukrainian National Association, at the first meeting of its newly elected Supreme Executive Committee on July 22, released a statement asserting that it would work toward the formation of a representative community organization in the United States - the type of entity that the UCCA once was. Things were quiet through the summer months, and then the hierarchs of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in the United States decided that they could keep silent no longer. On September 8 the hierarchs Archbishop-Metropolitan Stephen Sulyk, and Bishops Innocent Lotocky, Basil Losten and Robert Moskal - released their "Appeal to the faithful and especially to the leaders of all organizations" in which they called on Ukrainian Americans to "throw off the shackles of disunity and the cancer of misunderstanding, intractibility and hatred."

1982 was a banner year for the Ukrainian National Association as its 30th Regular Convention was held in Rochester, N.Y., on May 2428. It was a banner convention, too, as the vice president of the United States, George Bush, delivered a major policy address on U.S.-Soviet relations on the concluding day of the convention, and as delegates voted overwhelmingly (295 to 46) to continue negotiations with the Ukrainian Fraternal Association toward a merger of the two largest Ukrainian fraternal organizations. The convention re-elected Supreme President John O. Flis, Supreme Vice President Myron B. Kuropas, Supreme Director for Canada Paul Yuzyk, Supreme Secretary Waiter Sochan and Supreme Treasurer Ulana Diachuk. Supreme Vice President Mary Dushnyck and Supreme Organizer Wasyl Orichowsky were narrowly defeated by, respectively, Gloria Paschen and Stefan Hawrysz. The convention also voted several by-laws changes, the most important of which eliminated the position of supreme organizer effective July 1, 1986, and instead provided for a chief organizer to be hired by the Supreme Executive Committee. Another highlight of the convention was the premiere of Slavko Nowytski's documentary film on the Ukrainian experience in the United States from the first immigrants to the present. The hourlong film, two years in the making, had been commissioned by the UNA in April 1980. According to Mr. Nowytski, who introduced his film to UNA convention participants, the film is not a chronology and it "addresses the heart rather than the mind." With the UN A convention successfully completed, the new Supreme Executive Committee held its first meeting on July 22 at the main office, and the Supreme Assembly met in an extraordinary session

Stephen Kuropas administers the oath. (since the by-laws do not provide for an annual session during a conven tion year) on September 18-19 at Soyuzivka. Organizing strategy was the major topic of the assembly meeting. As usual, the UNA awarded scholarships to qualified students of Ukrainian descent in the United States and Canada. A record S48.000 was awarded to 149 students in 1982, thus bringing the total amount of scholarship aid distributed to students since the formal institu tion of the UNA program to nearly S280.000. In addition, the Ukrainian National Association announced the esta blishment^ the Roman Slobodian Scholarship Fund in memory of the long-time UNA treasurer who had passed away on May 20, just four days before the convention. There was news at the UNA'S estate, Soyuzivka, too, as Walter Kwas, manager for over 25 years, announced his retirement in Ja nuary. In April a new face arrived at Soyuzivka - Georg9 Prokopeccame to take over the Soyuzivka ma nager's duties under the direction of legendary hospodar Mr. Kwas. On July 31, Soyuzivka was hit by a tornado that knocked out power and toppled several huge trees. Thank fully, the worst of the damage was merely the cancellation of that even ing's outdoor dance. Also of note in 1982 was The Weekly's answer to the oft-asked question: "Why are UNA executives 'supreme'?" The answer, "tradition, tradition," appeared in an article in the July 4 issue.
Highlights
1982 was a year of firsts. Among the notable events this year was the first-of-its-kind women's confe rence, the first world conference of Ukrainian youth organizations, the first Ukrainian engineers' confe rence on science and technology to be held at the White House and the first purchase of a radio station in the United States by a coalition of ethnic groups. " The conference on "Science and Technology in the 1980s," organized by the Ukrainian Engineers' Society of America, was held in the White House on May 15. The conference concentrated on the science policy of the Reagan administration and the exchange of information on science and technology between the United States and the Soviet Union. Such speakers as Dr. George A. Keyworth II, science advisor to the president, Dr. Norman Bailey, National Security Council policy chief, as well as notable Ukrainian American scientists and engineers participated in the conference. " Probably the most unique event of 1982 was the women's confe rence sponsored by the Ukrainian National Women's League of Ame-

FdremOst among the Ukrainians in the news during the year were two men who were chosen to make their respective marks in the fields of education and diplomacy. On July 6, Peter Savaryn, 55, an Edmonton lawyer, was installed as chancellor of the University of Alberta, his alrriamater. Elected chancellor by the 62-member University of Alberta Senate, he thus became charged with the responsibility of representing the public interest at the university. As Mr. Savaryn explained, he aspired to become chancellor, a voluntary position that is filled by a representative of the community at large, for two reasons: first of all, he, like Maimonides, a 12th century Jewish rabbi and philosopher, believes tfiat "The advancement of learning is the highest commandment"; and he wanted to "-pay back" his alma mater with his time, knowledge and experience. He had previously served on the university's Senate and board of governors. News of Mr. Savaryn's election was hailed by the Ukrainian community, which knows Mr. Savaryn as a tireless community activist who is involved in many organizations including the Ukrainian Canadian Committee, the Ukrainian Professional and Business Club and Plast Ukrainian Youth Organization.

This was the largest grant ever awarded in Michigan. " The year also included groundbreaking ceremonies for the new St. Michael's Church in Shenandoah, Pa., on Monday, April 12 (Easter Monday), in which Metropolitan Stephen Sulyk took part. The church community in this coal-mining town suffered a great tragedy on Easter Monday 1980 when its church burned to the ground. Lost in the blaze were priceless icons, religious objects and stained glass. However,
Dale Hawerchuk: Rookie of the Year for the 1981-82 NHL season. Several Ukrainians made their marks in a completely unrelated field (or should wesayrink?).Hockey seems to be the sport of Ukrainians these days, especially in 1982 when we finally learned that, yes, The Great One, superstar Way neGretzky of the Edmonton Oilers, does indeed have some Ukrainian blood coursing through his veins. Gretzky was the leading scorer in the NHL in the 1981-82 season and was the winner of the Hart Trophy given to the NHL's most valuable player. Moving from the top scorer to the second-place finisher, we found another Ukrainian, Mike Bossy of the Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders. Bossy, too, received an MVP award - this one for the playoffs' best - the Conn Smythe Trophy. Rookie of the Year (Calder Trophy) honors went, of course, to another Ukrainian: Dale Hawerchuk of the Winnipeg Jets. The 1981-82 season was also a good one for Ukrainian Dennis Maruk of the Washington Capitals. He finished fifth among the NHL's top scorers:
A professor of economics at Georgetown University, Dr. Lev E. Dobriansky, was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to become U.S. ambassador to the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. News of the nomination was released on October 25, and Dr. Dobriansky appeared at a hearing on December 6 before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which later that day voted to support his nomination. The full Senate voted to confirm Dr. Dobriansky's nomination on December 10, thus making him the first U.S. ambassador of Ukrainian descent. Dr. Dobriansky, 64, is known for his involvement in the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and the National Captive Nations Committee, and he has served both organizations in various executive positions. He is the 1964 recipient of the Shevchenko Freedom Award. The Georgetown professor has also acted as adviser to the U.S. Department of State and as faculty member of the National War College.

1982 was a rather eventful year for The Weekly's unholy editorial troika as we did our best to provide you, dear readers, with - to coin a phrase - "a Ukrainian perspective on the news." After Ika Koznarska Casanova jumped ship in December 1981 to hook-up with Suchasnist, the we'llcome-out-when-we-want-to Ukrai nian-language magazine, her posi tion at The Weekly was taken up on January 18 by Marta Kolomayets, who blew in from the Windy City ready to leave her mark on Ukrai nian journalism. She didn't even bristle when told that all newcomers to the staff have to fetch coffee for the others for two whole years. This was also the year that our editor Roma Sochan Hadzewycz went through something of an iden tity crisis. And who could blame her. She kept receiving mail addressed to Mr. Roma Sochan Hadzewycz, or Roman or Mr. Hadzewycz. By far the worst offenders were the high brows uptown at the Ukrainian Institute of America, who insisted on calling her - now get this - MR. ROMAN SOCHAN HADKEVYCH! With a 51,000 per annum member ship fee, you'd think that someone at the UIA would know the name and sex of the editor of the newspaper that publicizes and covers many of its events. So, please, people, the editor is a lady.
In other news, George B. Zarycky and Marta Kolomayets were promoted in April. Mr. Zarycky is now an associate editor and Ms. Kolomayets is an assistant editor. She still gets the coffee, however. On July 4, The Weekly adopted a new flag - the nameplate at the top of our front page. Excised was the word Svoboda, hopefully clearing up any misunderstanding as to the paper's editorial independence from its Ukrainian-language older brother. The move was the result of last year's UNA Executive Committee decision to liberate The Weekly. In the area of new features, this year's Weekly launched the "Dissi dent profile" series, which explains itself. We also moved "Preview of Events" to the back page to make it somewhat easier for our readers to decide if they're going to spend their weekend at a concert in Carteret, N.J., or at a bandura workshop at Soyuzivka. What's more Yuri Myskiw of Chicago's Ukrainian Insti tute of Modern Art offered a number of excellent art reviews to bolster our culture coverage. In addition, we provided several special issues, such as those on Patriarch Josyf Slipyj's 90th birth day and the pull-out section on the Ukrainian Helsinki Group. There was also the extra edition featuring UNA scholarship winners. Although this year no one issue seemed to stir the reading public

like last year's "folly of mixed marriages," we got substantial feedback on the role of our "elite" academic societies. The mail ran solidly against our "pan doktors." Another hot topic seemed to be the "the" Ukraine debate, with most readers lined up firmly against the the. As to headline grabbers, this year's winner has to be Metropolitan Mstyslav of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. His picture appeared on page 1 of The Weekly no less than four times. Interestingly enough, last year's winner was Metropolitan Stephen Sulyk. Some inter-Church rivalry, perhaps? Not to be outdone, Michael Bociurkiw, new president of Canada's SUSK, appeared in four photos in one issue of The Weekly - easily a new record.

In the way of self-promotion, this year The Weekly staff decided to send a free copy of the paper to ail Svoboda subscribers, even the few who were already Weekly subscribers, in an effort to remind them of all they lost when Svoboda and Weekly circulations were separated. Well, the response, we are happy to report, was encouraging. But the move appeared to create some panic among those who suddenly found two copies of The Weekly, in their mailboxes. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth. We can only guess that, perhaps, sometimes you can get,too much of a good thing. In closing, we would like to wish all our readers a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year. And, as always, keep reading. Ifs good to know you're out there.
