ALL'S SET FOR PETER PAN which opens at the Performing Arts Center Wednesday
evening. Shown rehearsing are William Polchinski, Jr., as Pirate Starkey; Joel Aroeste,
Captain Hook; Jamie Winnick, Indian girl; and Claudine Cassan, Peter Pan.
Referendum on New SA Constitution
Scheduled For Voter Approval
A referendum on the proposed new
constitution of Student Association is
scheduled March 8-10. The document,
which was passed by an 18-4-1 vote of
Central Council, must be approved by a
60% majority with at least 20% of the
student body voting.
Major changes in the new constitu-
tion involve the composition of Central
Council. The Student Association presi-
dent no longer will be the council presi-
dent; ratlier, council will elect a chairman
to preside over its meetings. Thus, more
effective separation of the legislative and
executive branches of Student Associa-
tion will be achieved.
KafkaExhibition
Now on Display
Books, photographs, and manuscripts
relating to the life and works of Franz
Kafka (1883-1924) are on display in the
Fine Arts Building from now through
Mar. 21. Sponsors of the exhibition are
the Department of German in coopera-
tion with the Department of Art and the
Goethe Institut. The exhibit is open from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and Saturday, 7-9
p.m. on Wednesday, and 2-5 p.m. on
Sunday.
A highlight of the Kafka presentation
will be a lecture and reception on Sun-
day, Mar. 14, at 3 p.m. John Winkleman,
professor of German, will give the lecture
on ‘The Metamorphosis: A Modern
Parable of Death and Rebirth.”
Kafka’s nightmarish works have con-
tributed to the English language the ad-
jective “kafkaesque”. It is used to charac-
terize the maddening and seemingly im-
penetrable system of restraints which
hold modern man, like Kafka’s heroes, in
bondage. Although difficult to interpret,
his novels and short stories are widely felt
to embody a symbolism of peculiarly
contemporary relevance.
The new constitution also requires a
majority vote, rather than the present
40%, to elect an SA president. If no can-
didate receives a majority, a run-off elec-
tion between the two top men would be
held.
Several attempts to diminish faculty
representation and voting privileges on
Central Council were defeated. Albany
Student Press reported that two proposals
were passed which limit the power of the
SA president under the new constitution.
Central Council need only muster a ma-
jority vote, rather than two-thirds, to
override a presidential veto or to reject
any policies and procedures made by the
president which the council deems incon-
sistent with the best interests of the
student body.
While the new constitution has been
in the vanguard of recent Central Council
action, several other matters of interest to
the university community also have been
discussed. Parking continues to vex nearly
everyone and the council has joined with
the Living Area Affairs Commission in
recommending a change in policy regard-
ing the uptown quadrangle lots. Whereas
currently specific lanes are reserved for
faculty, commuters, and resident stu-
dents; it is suggested that all future park-
ing be on a first come, first served basis.
In other action, Central Council
voiced support for the Indian Quad rent
strike and urged that the Bursar’s office
charge no late fee to those students par-
ticipating in the strike.
The concept of a voter registration
drive on campus was endorsed by Central
Council. The need for such action arose
when the voting age recently was lowered
from 21 to 18 in all federal elections.
The joint FSA-Student Association
committee which investigated the Peter
Haley case issued a public statement that
did not recommend Mr. Haley’s dismissal,
but noted he had had “seriously unsatis-
factory dealings with some students.”
‘Harry’ Goes to Washington;
‘Peter’ Flies on Wednesday
As final preparations for “Peter Pan”
were underway, the State University
Theatre received word that another
production, “Harry, Noon and Night”,
had been chosen a winner in national
competition.
Both productions will be staged on
campus in March.
“Harry, Noon and Night” was chosen
one of ten winners from among 239 other
college and university productions from
across the country in competition that
began last fall. The all-student cast and
crew, under the direction of Albert
Weiner of the drama department, will
perform three times in the John F.
Kennedy Performing Arts Center in
Washington, D.C., on March 24 and 25 as
part of the American College Theatre
Festival.
Meanwhile, the cast and crew of
“Peter Pan” have been polishing their
flying techniques under the tutoring of a
specialist brought in to assist them. The
apparatus used will be of the same type as
used in Broadway productions of the
James Barrie classic.
“Peter Pan” will be staged on the
PAC Main Stage Wednesday, March 3,
through Sunday, March 7, with curtain
times at 8 p.m. Wednesday through
Saturday and at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and
Sunday. Tickets for the performances
have been sold out, although last minute
cancellations are possible.
Each performance will also be shown
free over television in a lecture center,
though the particular center has not been
designated.
“Harry, Noon and Night” will be
performed in the Studio Theatre Friday,
March 19, and Saturday, March 20, at
8:30 p.m. Tickets will be free of charge,
but seats will be held only until 8:15
p.m., after which unclaimed seats will be
available to those present at the theatre.
“Harry, Noon and Night” was first
chosen a semi-finalist from among 14
Unregistered Cars
Campus security police have been
instructed to take new stringent measures
against traffic offenders and parking
violators.
Campus Security Director James
Williams said he has told his officers to
begin ticketing unregistered cars. The
push to eliminate vehicles which have
avoided proper registration will be expen-
sive to owners. Fines for the offense will
be $10.
Drivers cited for moving violations
will also fall under stricter rules, since
summonses will be issued under the New
York State summons law and will be
answerable in court.
Offenses under this catagory will
include such things as running stop signs,
not observing yield signs, speeding and
other moving violations.
Williams said his office had received a
large number of complaints from many
entries from New York, New Jersey, and
Eastern Pennsylvania. The crew of seven
actors and five stage hands won the
Washington trip after competing with one
other semi-finalist at Lycoming College,
Williamsport, Pa., in January.
“Pm very delighted,” said director
Weiner, who added that he never doubted
that the group would win.
Studies Asked
On Puerto Rico
New dimensions were added to the
drive for the establishment of a Puerto
Rican studies program when a delegation
of four students kept an appointment
with President Benezet last Tuesday.
Accompanied by approximately 50 col-
leagues, who waited quietly outside, the
four discussed with the president pros-
pects for the program which has been
under study since last fall. Recognizing
the tight current fiscal picture, the delega-
tion wanted steps to be taken to include
provision in the 1972-73 fiscal and
academic year.
President Benezet repeated his sup-
port of the concept of Puerto Rican area
studies first made in October. He stated
that it was a logical extension of curricu-
lums which develop cultural identities of
major ethnic groups of the university.
In a memo directed to social science
dean Paul Wheeler, the president urged
plans be made now to build toward a con-
centration and eventually a Master’s de-
gree. He hoped provisions could be made
for funds, including at least one position,
in proposals for the budget in 1972-73.
The students were concerned about
the establishment of a full-fledged depart-
ment. While the President felt that such a
development along the lines of other eth-
nic study programs made sense, he point-
ed out that the details of the arrangement
would have to be made through appropri-
ate academic and administrative channels.
To Be Ticketed
segments of the university community
about the number of unregistered vehicles
on campus.
He has estimated that there will be
an additional 1,500 automobiles on cam-
pus by next year, and said stricter en-
forcement of rules will be necessary to
accommodate them.
Music Concert Today
A concert of music by Messiaen,
Webern and Berg will be presented in the
PAC Recital Hall this evening at 8:30.
Anton von Webern and Alban Berg,
disciples of Arnold Schonberg, will be
represented by works for violin and
piano, and for cello and piano.
French neo-romantic Olivier
Messiaen’s work, “Quartet for the End of
Time” will form the second half of the
program.
January Awards
Total $109,604
For 10 Projects
Five grants received by the university
during January total $95,544, according
to a report from the Office of the Vice
President for Research. Funding for five
sponsored programs amounted to
$13,960, for a total funding figure of
$109,604.
June E. Hahner, assistant professor
of history, has received a $12,083 grant
from the National Endowment for the
Humanities for the project, “Urban
Change in Brazil, 1880-1920”. The study
will help to explain contemporary forces
and problems in a modernizing Brazil, as
well provide a basis of comparison and a
better perspective for viewing urban prob-
lems in both developing regions of the
world and in developed countries like the
United States.
The College Entrance Examination
Board has awarded $19,831 to Arthur A.
Hitchcock, chairman of the department
of guidance and personnel services, for his
study, “The Puerto Rican Child”. It will
be concerned with Puerto Rican children
and youth in, and related to, the schools
of the United States. The focus will be a
survey of the education and non-educa-
tion of Puerto Rican children. Families
and community will be included.
Jon W. Jacklet, assistant professor of
biological sciences, will continue to inves-
tigate “Peripheral and Central Modulation
of Specific Neurons” with the aid of a
renewal grant of $19,230 from the Na-
tional Institute of Health. The overall
objective of the research project is to
study the synaptic and hormonal influ-
ences that bring about entrainment of
specific endogenously active neurons or
groups of neurons to environmental
parameter.
An NSF grant for $19,400 was re-
ported earlier in the Tower Tribune and
details of a $25,000 award to Ronald
Stewart, ASRC, will be published soon.

Music Programs Boast Affiliation
With SPAC, Lake George Opera
SUNYA’s Music Department, the
Lake George Opera Festival, and the Sara-
toga Performing Arts Center are collabo-
rating to offer a variety of programs in
music and opera this summer. Contact
with professional performers and attend-
ance at SPAC and opera festival programs
are a featured part of several of the
courses.
Two courses in opera, one of three
weeks and one of seven weeks, will be
offered. The first, an “Opera Workshop”,
will be held from June 7-25 and will offer
intensive training in stage techniques for
the singing actor, coaching, and analysis
of role and diction. It will be held on
campus using the facilities of the universi-
ty’s Performing Arts Center. Students in
the course will be able to apply for per-
formance opportunities with the Lake
George Opera Festival, whose season fol-
lows the workshop.
Breakdown of Dishwasher Forces
Increased Use of ‘Throw-aways’
An unexpected breakdown of the
dishwasher at the Campus Center cafete-
tia, together with the loss of adequate
utensils, has caused the introduction of
disposable goods at the cafeteria.
No one realizes the increased threat
to the environment this poses more than
Malcolm Corbiey, director of Food Serv-
ice. “Using plastic flatware and disposable
trays and dishes is a more wasteful and
expensive proposition than our previous
operation.”
Before the breakdown of the ma-
chine, stainless flatware and china were
used in the cafeteria. “Unfortunately we
did not budget enough funds to replace
the machine so we must use the dispos-
able items until we have a new budget,”
Corbiey commented.
The use of individual servings of
ketchup and mustard has also been ini
ated in the Campus Center eating facili-
ties. Corbiey noted that “although these
items are more expensive to purchase, the
sanitary convenience outweighs the cost.”
The increase in cost of the individual serv-
ings is not expected to be reflected in the
cost of food served.
Corbiey did note however, that the
overall cost of food has risen within the
last 12 months. “The buying power of
the dollar has dropped 12 cents in the last
year; this coupled with the increasing cost
of labor will cause us to evaluate the cur-
rent prices now being charged.”
The current budget for the Faculty-
Student Association runs through July 1,
1971. Included in the new budget,
Corbiey indicated, will be funds for a new
dishwasher and adequate dinnerware.
STACKS OF DISPOSABLE CAFETERIA TRAYS, “sanitary”
The second course, “Opera Theatre
Production”, will be held from June
29-Aug. 13 at the Queensbury Festival
Theatre in Glens Falls. Students will work
with performers at the Lake George Op-
era and will be able to audit, without
charge, classes at the festival in acting,
singing, fencing, and directing. They may
attend opera performances without
charge, as well as some performances at
SPAC.
Three-credit courses to be offered on
the Albany campus during the June 29-
Aug. 13 time period include “Introduc-
tion to Opera’, “Masterpieces of Music”,
“String Instruments”, “Introduction to
Music”, and “Basic Music Theory”. En-
rollment in the first three includes attend-
ance at performances of the Lake George
Opera Festival and/or SPAC.
Tuition charges for the summer pro-
grams in music and opera are: New York
State resident undergraduates, $13.50 per
credit; New York State resident graduate
and all out-of-state students, $20 per
credit. Special housing for students en-
rolled in the “Opera Theatre Production”
course will be made available.
Students interested in further
information should contact Nathan
Gottschalk, chairman of the Department
of Music, PAC 309. Enrollment for
“Opera Workshop” and “Opera Theatre
Production” is limited.
SUNY Plans
New College
State University of New York and
the State Education Department have re-
ceived grants totaling $1.8 million from
Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Foun-
dation to help initiate two new off-
campus college degree programs. They
will permit non-residential students,
many of whom will be adults, to earn
degrees through independent study and
examination.
The two foundations each provided
$500,000 to SUNY and $400,000 to the
State Education Department, to be dis-
bursed over two years.
Chancellor Boyer said that the mil-
lion dollars SUNY will receive will allow
it to accelerate its plans to establish a
non-residential undergraduate college.
Students of the new college will, under
faculty direction, pursue individual pro-
grams of study through correspondence
work, television, counseling, or occasional
seminars at one or more of SUNY’s 70
campuses. Such programs will be available
in various combinations suited to individ-
ual needs and circumstances. Students
who successfully complete the require-
ments of the new college will receive the
SUNY associate or bachelor’s degree.
“The idea of non-residential study
recognizes that learning takes place with-
in the individual, and the highly moti-
vated student does not require regular
classroom instruction,” said Chancellor
Boyer. “Under this concept, the teacher
becomes more of an advisor and academic
counselor helping the student move to-
ward clearly defined educational goals.”
He also said the SUNY program will pro-
vide for more flexible scheduling and for
more effective means of student evalua-
tion, including assessment by the student
himself.
The new college, now scheduled to
begin during the 1971-72 academic year,
will have its own president, faculty, and
advisory council. The administrative cen-
ter will be located in the Capital District
area at a site to be determined and sepa-
rate from the SUNY Central Administra-
tion and existing campuses. Those wish-
ing to learn more about the program may
write to Non-residential College, Box
6096, Albany 12206.
Announcement of the new college
followed an intensive study by a special
task force set up by the Chancellor, with
Board of Trustees approval. During the
study, the task force examined educa-
tional models at home and abroad.

On the Student Side

the proper book or periodical in the library
Library Laments
by Rich Rini
If you have nothing better to do for
the next couple of days, why don’t you
go over to the world’s largest bedroom—
the SUNYA library. Of course, one prob-
lem is that the library is rarely open. On
weekends for example, it closes at five
o’clock sharp. This is because everyone
on campus has a date, or else those that
don’t have a date certainly don’t have any
studying to do. Right?
If you are lucky enough to take a
tour of the library, you will note that it
holds over 400,000 volumes. After a care-
ful inventory I found that those 400,000
breakdown something like this: 398,456
are indexes for the other books, 1,322 are
in the bindery, 114 are in the pre-shelving
stage, and seven are ready for use by the
student. Of those seven, two were written
after 1930.
Few people on campus have ever
seen a real life librarian at our library.
One night in the midst of heavy research,
I was having great difficulty finding a cer-
tain periodical. “Gosh,” I said to myself,
“why not ask one of the keepers of the
Dewey Decimal, our loyal librarian.”
I searched for about an hour without
any luck, and then finally out of despera-
tion, I asked a student assistant, “Where
can I find a librarian?” She went into

Drugs, their use and abuse, will be
the subject of a series of programs to be
shown during March and April in Lecture
Center 25.
The series will be in two segments,
both aired over educational TV channel

tension of the recent series, “The Turned

February.
“Because We Care,” a six-part series,

“Drugs, A Capital District Problem,”
is a locally-produced series which deals
with attitudes and activities in the drug
world in this area. It will be shown
Wednesdays, March 3, 10, and 17 from 7
to 8 p.m.
Interviews with addicts, law
enforcement officials, parents, and their
children form the basis of the series. A
central theme is community action to
deal with the problems of drug abuse and
efforts to understand problems of drug
users.
near hysterics and I felt quite embar-
rassed. She went on laughing for quite
awhile, but finally pulling herself together
she told me that all the librarians leave at
six o’clock sharp. That seemed reasonable
enough to me, when all the students
come into the library to do some work,
then all the librarians leave. Makes sense,
doesn’t it?
The library is one of the quietest
places on campus. Every Tuesday evening
Kappa Beta fraternity taps a keg with
Beta Zeta on the second floor lounge. All
university rushees invited. Meanwhile, if
you are lucky enough to avoid the frat
get-togethers, one of the cleaning ladies
will find you. Armed with vacuum clean-
ers reminiscent of the old V-2’s, they
blast their way into your heart by way of
the auditory canal.
O.K., so the cleaning lady has passed
you by, and APA has headed down to
O’Heaney’s, and it’s quiet for about two
minutes, when some poor chump who is
having trouble finding a date for the
weekend starts to put the moves on the
babe at your table. They whisper and
giggle for about one hour, and then you
head for the State Ed library.
ber of the State University of New York
Senate, has reported on the February
meeting of the university-wide body.
Chancellor Boyer touched on some reso-
lutions of concern to the Senate, and
then spoke of topics of concern, includ-
ing the many problems of belt-tightening
and mis-readings of the freeze that holds
until Apr. 1. There are no easy solutions,
but he did urge that innovative programs
might make SUNY more efficient, and
induce continued financial support.
The Senate returned the proposed
governance change (Article VII, creating
an all-University-Community governance
rather than a faculty governance struc-
ture) to the committee to develop alter-
nate models. The concern was expressed
that there was a continued need for a
faculty voice, and that representation
seemed unrelated to factors of size.
The Grievance and Economic Status
Committees were directed to prepare a
statement for May indicating how the ne-
gotiations under the Taylor Law would
affect their functioning. The Senate re-
jected giving instructions to Senate Pro-
fessional Association (as inappropriate),
or even urging upon SPA specified proce-
dures, but continued to indicate that it
would maintain interest in all aspects of
University functioning, and would for-
ward suggestions of items that SPA could
take into consideration within the
negotiations.
The Grievance Committee reported
strong cooperation from Chancellor Boy-
er on procedures and cases, and an active
year.
The Senate voted to co-sponsor with
the Chancellor a September 1971 confer-
ence on SUNY responsibilities in the field
of international education.
The Expanding Educational Oppor-
tunities program is hard hit by budget
omissions, and the related workshop may
have to be cancelled if the activities for
which it was to provide training are not
funded.
T-U Praises Students
Editor’s Note: The following editorial, entitled “Helping the Children’; appeared
in the Feb, 18 edition of the Albany Times-Union and is reprinted with
permission from that paper.
ITEM: State University students
hard at work on a 24-hour “telethon”
for the Capital District Society for
Autistic Children.
The word from political pundits is
that college campuses are quiet this
year. Don’t believe it!
While the headlines might not be
as big, this year’s college students have
lost neither their exuberance nor
massive energy for projects they
believe in.
One fine example is a 24-hour
“telethon” planned by Albany State
University students for the weekend of
Feb. 26-27. Proceeds are earmarked
for the Capital District Society for
Autistic Children. While the event
cannot be televised because of costs
and other factors, more than 100
students have volunteered to perform
in a 24-hour show to be produced at
the campus center snack bar from 7
p-m. on Friday, Feb. 26, to 7 p.m. the
next day. About 300 students have
been working on the program and are
appealing to the public to drop in for a
$1 admission contribution.
The plans include information
booths, and students will be selling
clothing made by area mothers of
autistic children, food, and shirts and
buttons bearing the telethon slogan:
“Love is the only way.”
Autism is a self-imposed isolation,
a childhood mental illness formerly
known as childhood schizophrenia.
While there is no known cure, strides
are being made in dealing with the
condition, notably in this area by
Camp Rainbow in Guilderland, a
summer camp financed mostly by the
personal fund raising efforts of the
parents of autistic, emotionally
disturbed or mentally ill children.
Many students at SUNY have
been working since September on this
project and deserve credit for
contributing their time and effort to
help the less fortunate. And they
deserve the support of the local
community in the form of attendance
and in telephoning pledges during the
telethon to 457-5935 or 457-5938.
presented to Governor Rockefeller last
year was presented by the Committee on
Economic Status and discussed.
Overlapping with the argument over
sabbatical leaves for non-teaching profes-
sional staff was the monetary recommen-
dation to negotiate for such. The Senate
authorized the chairman to communicate
it to SPA as representing the committee’s
thinking.
The Senate also voted: to oppose any
“means test” for graduate fellowships; to
support the Porter Proposal for adequate
financial support for graduate assistants;
support for the University Games to be
held at SUC Plattsburgh Feb. 25-Mar. 5,
1972; condolences to the families of
Charles Wooster of New Paltz and Robert
Fairbanks of SUNYA; support for re-
establishing publication charges as an al-
lowable expense against state funding and
for including such in campus budgets.
Also, encouragement to the cam-
puses to respond promptly to the EOP
evaluation questionnaire; to recommend
to faculty the regular use of student eval-
uation of instructional staff; recommen-
dation of awarding grants to faculty for
improvement of instruction; and recom-
mendation to allow travel costs and publi-
cation charges for graduate students for
research reports.
Speakers Offer
Range of Topics
Speakers covering topics from ac-
counting to Yugoslavia are available from
two speakers’ bureaus operated by the
university.
Speakers from the faculty and staff
may be arranged through the Community
Relations Office, while student speakers
are available through the Students’ Speak-
ers Bureau, sponsored by the Department
of Rhetoric and Public Address and the
Debate Society.
Wine, taxes, astronomy, folk music,
birds, and Bulgaria are among the varied
topics covered by the speakers.
Persons or organizations interested in
obtaining a speaker from the Faculty-
Staff Speakers’ Bureau should contact the
Community Relations Office. Informa-
tion about student speakers may be ob-
tained by calling Roger Rozendal at
457-8470.
Costs vary with the occasion, the
speaker, and the budget of the group
making the request. A customary mini-
mum honorarium of $35 is paid to facul-
ty and staff members, though other ar-
rangements may be made. A $5 fee is
charged to cover costs of arranging for
student speakers, with additional hono-
raria at the discretion of the host group.
In the event a group has no budget for
speaker fees, the $5 may be waived if
transportation is provided.
Mexico Study Open
Applications for a semester of study
at CIDOC in Cuernavaca, Mexico, or for a
semester or year of study at the Univer-
sity of Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico,
are now being accepted. Applicants may
file for the programs through the Center
for Inter-American Studies, Richardson
179 on the downtown campus, or
through the Office of International
Studies, SS 111. Application deadline for
both programs is April 21.
CORRECTION
The correct date for the action taken
in support of the Student Association of
State University by Central Council is
Dec. 10, not Feb. 4 as reported.
Mind Miracles
To Be Seen
“The Amazing Polgar,” a hypnotist,
will be presented Friday evening at 8 p.m.
in the CC Ballroom, sponsored by the
Campus Center Governing Board.
Dr. Polgar has been acclaimed by the
Saturday Evening Post as “America’s
Greatest One-Man Show.” His program,
“Miracles of the Mind, Psychology in
Action,” includes memory stunts, tele-
pathic feats, and hypnotic tests.
Polgar has performed on college cam-
puses throughout the United States. “Col-
lege audiences are happily befuddled by
his implausible feats,’ writes Look
magazine.
The program has been haralded as a
great success by Life magazine because
Polgar “has unusual rapport with huge
college audiences.”
He has been featured in Life, Look,
Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Coronet,
New Yorker, True, Pageant, Reader’s
Digest, Time, as well as in scientific jour-
nals and on radio and television.
Tickets for “Miracles of the Mind,
Psychology in Action,” will be on sale in
the CC lobby today through Friday for
50 cents with student tax, $1.50 without.
Library Acquires
Brazil Collection
A collection of 12,000 Brazilian
books, now being cataloged by library
personnel, will soon make it possible for
students to do extensive research in
Portuguese on many aspects of Brazilian
life.
The volumes, some dated early in the
19th Century, were purchased by the
university in 1968, shortly before Brazil
passed a law prohibiting export of many
early books.
Library officials said the collection is
among the most comprehensive of any
university in the country.
The books, purchased for $60,000 in
Rio de Janiero, include the Brazilian
equivalent of the Congressional Record
from 1822 to recent years and other
volumes on such subjects as history, liter-
ature, political science, economics, educa-
tion, and philosophy. Many of the vol-
umes are newly bound and some are
bound in the style reserved for the
emperor and his staff.

“The Amazing” POLGAR
Paper Recycling
Project Halted
The waste paper reclamation project
planned last month by the Protect Your
Environment group has been halted by a
major obstacle: the warehouse contacted
to buy the waste paper has indicated an
unwillingness to purchase the waste.
The operating procedure on the pro-
gram, originally established between PYE
and the building and grounds staff, was to
collect all waste but to keep the paper
separate from the other trash.
A few days prior to the initiation of
the program PYE was informed that the
market for waste paper had fallen off and
that it would not be financially feasible
for the warehouse to purchase large
amounts of the waste.
The project was expected to break
even financially with the help of all on
campus cooperating. However, with that
development, the project was halted.
The PYE group, advised by Richard
Brown of the physics department, ex-
pected the primary gain would be the
experience in cooperation for survival in a
polluted world.

Cliff Wess, 8-2 at 167 lbs. Hull had the
most pins, five.
The team eclipsed the former record
for most wins by two and the mark for
consecutive victories by three. It also had
a higher winning percentage (.818) than
any of its predecessors. The previous
record was .778.
In addition, the 41 points scored
against Plattsburgh equalled a record and
the 273 points for the year shattered the
old mark by 44.
Of the nine regulars (Albany usually
forfeited one of the upper weights), only
two are seniors, while three are freshmen,
three sophomores, and one a junior.
Coach Joe Garcia thus should have the
nucleus of another powerhouse next year.
