Spring Term To Include

Courses On Environment

by Glenn von Nostitz

On May 3, 1971 the University
Senate passed a resolution which
recommended that the University,
“commit itself to a university-
wide program in Environmental
Studies and that the administra-
tion be requested, with the assis-
tance of appropriate councils and
committees to develop such a
program.” In spite of formidable
financial obstacles, significant
headway has been made in estab-
lishing Environmental Studies at
SUNYA. As a result of the Senate
resolution, the Environmental
Studies Steering Committee was
created, with Stanley Blount of
the Geography Department as
coordinator. The committee is
made up of both faculty and
students, and its goal is to develop
policies and content for the Envi-
ronmental Studies program.

The first item of business for the
committee was to assess the pre-
sent condition of Environmental
Studies at SUNYA. Each depart-
ment chairman was asked to list
those courses in his department
which are in some way related to
the environment. Included in the
final list were the Environmental
Forum and Man vs. Environment,
and a series of environmental
independent study projects which
were developed over the past two
years under Dr. Vincent Schaef-
fer. These projects involve over
sixty students and cover such
topies as “Energy and Society,”
“Future Environments” and
“Environmental Legislation.”

Under the direction of Eliza-
beth Salzer, the library has drawn
up an extensive bibliography of all
books and journals related to the
environment which are now held
by the library. The University has
also been involved in Environ-
mental Research through the Five
Rivers project, an ecological study
of five rivers in New York State.
By drawing together all of these

related courses and projects, the
Steering Committee hopes to pub-
lish a brochure for students who
are interested in Environmental
Studies. 2

Stanley Blount resigned as
coordinator on August 13th, and
Pres, Benezet named Paul Bulger,
Professor of Educational Adminis-
tration the new coordinator.
Under Bulger the committee has
been working to expand course
offerings, especially in the intro;
ductory areas. Bulger says that
one of the major considerations
was whether courses relating to
the environment should be
grouped together in a “Center for
Environmental Education” or
whether these courses should be
offered separately, by ‘individual
departments. Current — planning
calls for each department to offer
environment-related courses.

During the summer, two sub-
committees were formed; one to
develop courses dealing with the
social and cultural aspects of the
environment, and the other to
deal with the scientific aspects,
Each committee has been develop-
ing an introductory course, both
of which will be offered this
Spring. One of them has been
titled, Social, Political and Human
Aspects of Environmental Prob-
lems, while the other one is Scie-
ntifie Aspects of Environmental
Problems. Both of these will be
200 level courses, and are subject
to the approval of the Undergrad-
uate Academic Council. Being
planned for introduction next fall
are Applied Environmental Eco-
logy, Applied Environmental Eco-
nomics, and Systems Approach to
Environmental Problems. These
would be 300 and 400 level
courses.

Plans are also in the works for
second-field options. Under this
option students interested in envi-
ronmental studies would be en-
couraged to put together their

own second field programs. They
would be provided with the Steer-
ing Committee’s list of environ-
ment-related courses. Requir-
ements would ‘include: 24 credits
of environment courses on all
levels, This second-field program
would serve as the basis for a
more extensive program (in-
cluding an Environmental Studies
major) as soon as more funds are
available.

‘The biggest roadblock to the
establishment of Environmental
Studies is the lack of money.
Phillip Sorotkin, Vice-President
for Academic Affairs, pointed out
that, “It is very difficult to put
money into new programs when
we are cutting back. These new

Marchers Protest

Attica Deaths

by Tracy Egan

Approximately fifteen hundred persons, some
from New York City, Buffalo, New Jersey and
Philadelphia staged a spirited three mile march
through downtown Albany yesterday'to protest the
Attica Prison deaths. Protestors chanted, “People of
the World are picking up the Rocks, so Run Rocky
Run,” and “Jail the rich, free the Poor,” as they
marched. The group attracted passive observers in
the shopping district of Albany. In contrast Clinton
Avenue residents, mostly blacks, joined in the
chanting as the marchers passed

The march reached the Capitol steps where: David
Dellinger, one of the Chicago Seven, spoke and
introduced other speakers. Dellinger stressed that
“We are here in Albany to begin a campaign for the
arrest of Nixon and Rockefeller.” He later asserted
that by this indictment he did not wish for
Rockefeller or Nixon to be sent to a prison like
Attica as “no human being should be sent to that
place, but this indictment is the only way to begin
the end.”

Dellinger introduced Juanita Woodson, from the
People’s Law Office; who read a statement she
claimed was smuggled out of Attica. This statement
alleges that “just as Hitler instilled fear in his
concentration camps, so is Rockefeller allowing and
sanctioning the same tactics to be perpetrated here.
Those brothers whose lives were taken by
Rockefeller and his agents did not die in vain ...
because the uprising in Attica did not start heré nor
will it end here,”

Others, who spoke to a largely receptive audience,
were Tom Soto of the Prisoners Soldarity group,
Charlene Mitchell of the Angela Davis Defense
Committee, and ex-priest, co-conspirator of the
Berrigan Brothers, Paul Mayer, Each of these
speakers stressed solidarity, The solidarity of black,
white and brown prisoners at the siege in Attica, the
solidarity which “middle class, church people are
beginning to experience with the poor, and the
connection between the tragedies of Attica and
Vietnam.” Some claimed that “the tragedy at Attica
began before Oswald, Rockefeller or the prisoners
were born. Family wealth and skin color had to do
with whether you became governor, guard or
prisoner.”

Collection buckets were distributed, throughout
the crowd but it appeared that only a small amount
of money was taken in to aid “prisoners, families
and the drive for acceptance of the twenty eight
demands” made by Attica prisoners.

David Dellinger ended the demonstration
sponsored by the People’s Coalition for Peace and
Justice with announcements of further demonstra-
tions. On Saturday, October 2 protests at dozens of

Brakes Put On
Graduate Studies

Albany, N.Y. (AP)—The State
University of New York has im-
posed a moratorium on expansion
of graduate programs, pending a
review by a special panel, SUNY
Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer

Under terms of the moratorium,
no new master’s or doctoral pro-
grams will be approved for the
immediate future, except in ‘“‘un-

stances.” :

Boyer cited an “exceptional
growth” of new graduate pro-

grams in recent years, But, he
added, “now the time for re-
appraisal has arrived.” The chan-
cellor noted that SUNY’s graduate
enrollment rose from 16,725 in
1965 to more than 37,000 this
year.

“Excellence in graduate study
continues as our goal,” the chan-
cellor said. “However, these pro-
grams are specialized and costly,
and unnecessary duplication must
be avoided.”

He also noted that some tradi-
tional fields of graduate education
are not as attractive to students as
in the past and that employment
opportunities are shifting.

The fields involved include the
so-called hard sciences, chemistry
and physics, for example, and
engineering.

‘The special panel that is to make,

recommendations for the future
of graduate studies within the
SUNY system is chaired by Dr.
Norman Cantor, chairman of the
history department at the univer-
sity center in Binghamton,

The panel is scheduled to make

Care Continues Search

For Money To Fund Center

The University Parents for Day

Barbara Eaton, in a telephone
interview, reported that she had
contacted Migrant Day Care of
Columbia County, New York, a
center which services children of
migrant workers, They had reeom-
mended soliciting corporations
for funds, Eaton, however, would
not comment on which corpora-

tions Migrant Day Care suggested.

James Spas, the husband of an
undergraduate English major, pro-
posed a plan with the State Social
Service Board, According to this
plan a Community and University
Day Care Center would be es-
tablished. This center services chil-
dren of families that qualify for
Welfare or Aid to Dependent Chil-
dren. Families pay fees to the
Day Care Center according to
their incomes. If a family cannot
afford the fees, then the State
Social Services supplement the re-
maining funds.

Froines Stresses Need
For Attica Protest

by Elizabeth Taylor

A Pre-Attica Rally was held
Wednesday night in the Campus
Center Ballroom. The purpose of
the rally was to draw attention to
the march on the Capitol,
scheduled; to be held Thursday
afternoon in protest against the
injustices performed in Attica.

The first speaker, John Froines,
was introduced as one of the
strongest forees behind the
demonstration, Speaking to a
small but interested group, he
stressed the need for active parti-
cipation. He stated that the pur-
pose of the march was to demon-
strate forcefully to the govern-
ment the real sentiments of the
people by bringing them together.
He feels that passive resistance,
such as hunger strikes, can only
fail, and that the only way to
effect real change is by communal
force.

Froines then went on to say that
Attica is an example of the class
struggle between the rich, con-
trolled government and the work-
ing people. According to Froines,

this struggle creates extreme fru-
stration and pressure. He said that
it is necessary for the people to
realize that the enemy is the
system, so that they can fight it,
as the prisoners fought in Attica.
Froines ended with an appeal to
the people to demonstrate force-
fully that they are against the
government and its actions in
Attica.

The next two speakers were
both associated with the Prisoner
Solidarity Committee. This com-
mittee works within the prisons
by supporting reforms, It also
helps get information in to the
prisoners, and tries to represent
them on the outside. Both
speakers stressed the poor situa-
tion in the Attica prison itself
which has been known for its
inadequate facilities. They felt
that the prisoners’ situation was
abominable, and that Rockefel-
let’s moves were unjustified. The
speakers sought support among
the people to help them inform
everyone about the true situation
inside the prisons,

Victory for Nixon:

by Carl P. Leubsdorf
Associated Press Writer

After months of delay the Sen-
ate passed and sent to the White
House Tuesday the bill extending
the military draft until June 23,
1973.

Passage of the bill by a vote of
55 to 30 came with surprising
suddenness after the Senate by
just one vote had invoked its
antifilibuster rule to limit debate
on the measure.

President Nixon’s signature, ex-
pected promptly, will enable the
Selective Service System to re-
sume draft inductions halted
when the old law expired last
dune 30.

Captain Ernest Medina was acquitted Wednesday of all charges of
involvement in the My Lai massacre. Medina was acquitted of
premeditated murder in the killing of a Vietnamese woman, of
involuntary manslaughter in the killing of “no less than 100”
Vietnamese civilians,and of two counts of assault against a prisoner.

legislation calls for a $2.4-billion
military pay increase intended to
improve chances for creating all-
volunteer armed forces by mid-

1973,

Under the compromise reached
by the House-Senate conferees,
the effective date for the increase

was set as Oct. 1. But the
compromise -not subject to
amendment from the senate
floor-was adopted by the

conferees and approved by the
House well before Nixon
announced his 90-day wage price
freeze on Aug. 15..

His action leaves in doubt
whether the increase can be
granted at the date specified or
will have to be deferred until after
the freeze ends Nov. 14,

The Senate’s action was a major
victory for the President and a
defeat for antiwar senators who
had held out for something
stronger than the measure’s call
on Nixon to negotiate an end to
the Indochina war as quickly as
possible.

‘That provision was agreed to as

prisoners are freed.

Tuesday’s action on the draft
bill, while not expected by Senate
leaders until Thursday at the earli-
est, had been expected’ since last
Thursday’s 47-36 vote on which
the Senate refused to send the
draft bill back to conference.

The measure includes a $2.4

rights of draftees before their

4.+2 = More Responsibility

by Bob Lent

In an attempt to allow students
to assume greater control over
their living situation, the 4+2 pro-
gram has been effectively institu-
ted this year at Albany State.

The basic aims of this program
are summed up in the meaning of
the 4C’s and 2R’s; Community,
Cooperation, Concern, Communi-
cation, Relevance, and Responsi-
bility. Bob Brody, director and
founder of 4+2, intended that,
through the exercise of the var-
ious responsibilities involved in
the self-government of their hall,
students would be able to find
increased opportunity for “social
interaction and intellectual stimu-
lation.”

Within the program, 4+2 stu-
dents living in Oneida and Onon-
daga halls on Indian Quad elect
one member monthly from each
floor (or a total of 6 members) to
serve as representatives on a Cen-
tral Committee. In addition, there
are regularly held “town, meet-
ings” which are open to all 4+2
students.

Among the functions of the
Central Committee is the task of
deciding which special interest:
groups to support. It is expected
that, in the near future, there will
be student-led groups in arts and
crafts, bicycling, and photogra-
phy. Also, a record, book and
paper filing system is being set
up. Under this system, 4+2 mem-
bers would make available their
records, books, and papers so that
fellow students would be able to
borrow these items. Plans to
house professors and guest speak-
ers to the university within the
4+2 program have additionally
been offered.

The prevailing student view of
4+2 after its first month seems
encouraging. “The basic idea is

:

fantastic. So far, I am ‘totally
satisfied,” commented Peter Ger-
stenhaber, a 4+2 member. How-
ever, there has been criticism that
4+2 is experiencing some early
organizational problems.

The 4+2 program consists of
60% sophomore, 25% junior, and
15% senior residents. This distrib-
ution policy was adopted in order

“to perpetuate the program.

sentiments of Barry Gershon, ano-
ther 4+2 participant.

Despite the obvious social aspect
of 4+2 (there are future plans for
trips, pienies, and guest speakers),
participants are quick to reject the
assumption that 4+2 is just ano-
ther “social club.” 4+2 residents
are serious when they speak about
the self-government and academic
aspects of the program and when

For Absentee Ballots

by Paul Pelagalli

they express their belief that,
through the 4+2 program, life will
be improved in all dorms.

With many elections coming up this year and next, most 18-21 year
olds would like to exercise their newly acquired right to vote.
However, the only way this privilege may be put to use by students
living on a college campus is if they register with their home Board of
Elections and secure an absentee ballot from the same by October 2.
This applies for those who will turn 18 before November 3, 1971. If a
student will be 18 between November 3, 1971 and June 20, 1972 he
may register at his local board between January 4, 1972 and May 20,
1972.

For those potential voters who are now 18 and can’t get to their
local board by October 2 there is still a chance to register and vote. At
the Campus Center Information Desk there are request forms for
Absentee Registration and Absentee Ballot Applications supplied by
the Student New York State Teachers Association (Student NYSTA).
Unregistered voters must get both applications, registered voters need
only the application for the Absentee Ballot.

Request forms. must. be postmarked by 11:59 P.M. on October 2.
Upon receipt of the application the student must get the signature of
the head of the University and have the application notarized. Unless
this is done immediately he will not be able to vote in elections in the
near future.

In some other states all voters are given until two days before a given
election to register. In an open letter to New Yorkers between the
ages of 18 and 21 Senator George McGovern of South Dakota urged
those interested in their voting rights to write to the Governor, state
senators and assemblymen and ask that the registration deadline be
extended. However, the current deadline is October 2, 1971 and the
request forms are at the Campus Center Information Desk now.

editorial comment

The Fall of the Court

People have largely forgotten until recently that there are three
branches of the federal government. The Presidency and Congress,
so often in the news, have overshadowed that third branch, and
have largely allowed that branch to starve both financially and
physically.

Now, with a conservative President, and a Congress which
maintains a staunch Southern flavor, the Courts are the last
defense of American civil liberties. More and more attention is
being focused on our courts as accused and imprisoned political
activists come to trial, and as court decisions soften the blows at
civil liberties.

At this strategic juncture, it is a terrible blow to find a Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court who is a Nixon appointee, an
Associate Justice who is a Nixon appointee, and now not one but
two new positions which Nixon will fill before he leaves. The
resignations, coming within six days of each other, of Justices
Black and Harlan, will give King Richard four of the nine seats on
that highest of courts.

On so many issues, it has been the Supreme Court, with its
relative freedom from politics, which has carried out the reform
measures so long fought for and lost in the Congress. It is not hard
to envision the downfall of the current integration drive in both
North and South as a Courtful of Southern Republicans take their
places on the bench.

The United States Supreme Court is the ultimate body of appeal
of all legal cases involving fundamental freedoms. Though its
decisions do not as a rule make headlines, such recent cases as
Baker v. Carr ‘which delineated the principle of “one man, one
vote,” will change the course of events in America. The work of
upholding basic human freedoms must not come to a halt because
of the backward views of one man.

There is something you can do about it. An indecisive Senate
managed to get up enough guts to resist (successfully) the
nominations of both G. Harold Carswell and Clement Haines-
Worth a few short years ago, and they can do it again if enough
people show interest in the nomination. Concerned citizens have
guts to show interest in this matter, since it infringes upon your
last legal body of appeal: the Supreme Court.

Historians have long observed that Supreme Court nominations,
rare because appointment to the Court is for life, are sometimes a
president’s greatest mark on history. Dick Nixon is about to make
the greatest mark since’Franklyn Roosevelt, and you can bet he
won’t ‘pick anyone whose mental attitude is more recent than

"1932 either. Write your senator.

Inadequate Colonial

To the editor:

Recently my car was towed from university
property for being illegally parked. I was aware that
the university held this right and thtrefore, in
essence, my gripe does not stem from the incon-
venience or the $10.70 it cost me to bail my car
out, However, there is a larger problem.

After picking up the car I drove to Colonial
Quad’s lot to park. Little to my surprise the scene
was a typical afternoon fiasco. The lot was full of
commuters and I was forced to move my car to
Dutch Quad for fear of paying another tow fee.
Colonial students are inconvenienced quite enough
just by the condition and location of the lot, but
must we also be faced with commuting students
who could very well park their cars in the larger
areas? It is illegal for cars to park between rows and
yet many afternoons those cars parked in the
restricted areas of the lot are blocked in by
commuters with no hope of getting out until classes
end for the day. Perhaps commuters find our lot
more convenient, but it is only at the expense of
Colonial Quad’s residents. Our lot is much too small
even to park Colonial residents and we have no
other area in the near vicinity. Come winter, our lot
is not only a gross inconvenience but a danger as
well.

I am aware that there is a new lot to open soon
but I’m not too optimistic that our situation will
change much. Why should a student pay $.25 an
hour when he can park for free? Even if it is
successful, we are still faced with this overcrowding
in the meantime. If my car can be towed from a
place where it was doing no harm, then I think
something should be done about the cars illegally
and dangerously parked within the confines of a lot.
If the university expects Colonial Quad residents to
park legally then they had just better be able to
offer us adequate parking. They aren’t doing that
now and they should be.

Think Again

To the Editor (?):

I hope you'll forgive my intrusion into your little
world, but I just can’t let you continue thinking
that everyone on the podium is applauding your
courageous analytical editorial stance on “the
fucking war” and those poor maligned North
Vietnamese jailers.

First, let me guess who wrote our gem of
journalism...a guest editorial by the author of a
leading second rate Jr. High underground news-
paper?!!! (Forgive me, teenyboppers everywhere). It
certainly isn’t a product of a university level
analyst...my case follows:

You’re right, you fox... the majority of the
American people are opposed to the war...very
good. Now if you’d only have had your mother read
you the next paragraph you would have found the
majority of the American people in support of the
president’s withdrawal plan as opposed to the
precipitate abandoning ship you and your colleagues

might see as the obvious solution...isn’t it funny
you're the only ones to see the light? Also you
might have noted there are less than half the U.S.
Troops in Viet Nam now than in January of 1969
when that warmonger Nixon took office...but that
might spoil your fun.

Let’s further question your conversance with: the
issues at hand with respect to POWs. No, Sonny, we
really aren’t stupid enough to expect our bomber
pilots back...besides we got plenty more. What we
are asking is compliance with portions. of the
Geneva Conventions (remember them?) that require
publication of POWs names, correspondance with
immediate relatives and International Red Cross
inspections. So why the big analogy with the
everpopular American Indians and Queens? Because
it sounded good, right? Clever, maybe; responsible
editorializing...no,

Believe me, I don’t want that fucking war any more
than you. I do believe journalism can play an
important role in pressing for an end to the war and
your journalism is perhaps as important as any in
bringing to light facts about our foreign policy
missteps. There’s enough wrong that a responsible
editor need not introduce half-truths or express
sympathy for” unsympathetic causes in order .to
recommend a course for peace. There are a lot of us
saying “get the fuck out” who don’t want others
quoting your irresponsible editorials as examples of
our “pro-communist sentiment.” In other words,
what you mean to say is very-good but the reasons
you quote for saying it were very poor.

Poor Planning

Open Letter To
Architect Edward Durell Stone
And Administration Planners

The emphasis around campus seems to be on the
esthetic rather than the practical.

A prime, and expensive, example is the way the
squares at the Academic Circle were planted with
scores of little shrubs which were trampled to death
with impunity by students who have little regard for
Property which is not theirs to destroy. Finding this
project a failure, the same areas were planted with
grass which is being walked upon. as though walks
were to be avoided. It is certainly evident that the
Powers that be do not take human nature into
account,

If these squares had been saturated with weed
Killer, then a large decorative shade tree planted in
the center of each square, and the surrounding
ground covered with crushed coral stone from
Florida, then you would have a practical use and
esthetic appearance. Benches could have been built
around the base of the shade trees.

Moreover, why have you not thought of two or
three flood lights or street lights such as line
Washington Avenue at the Circle? There is no
question that such lights would be very practical,
both in terms of safety for the students and so that
the night bus drivers can see if any people are
approaching from Colonial Quad, when they are
about to puil away. On a cloudy rainy night it is
almost impossible to see in the right side rear view
mirror to spot people.

‘A reminder that an electric conduit pipe has
already been put in out to the Administration
Circle.

TONIGHT,

To the editor: ;
This past summer the New York State Department
of Transportation (or was it the Highway Dept?)
made some small headlines when they attempted to
get rid of some of the eye pollution (The Billboards)
along the Northway. ‘A
But when the smoke of the battle cleared, there
along the hillside, proud and tall, in full regulation
billboard size, stood the colorful banner of “Hyatt
House.” Well, what do you know, that colorful
eyesore is standing on, you'll never guess, Mohawk
Campus, That’s right, right in the middle of our
lovely little hideaway, where we all go to play in the
“country” is a fucking billboard. Are we going to sit
back on our asses and let that Grotesque and
obscene billbdard continue standing there, obscur-
ing the countryside? .....By the way, WHO IS

lsolationism

To the Editor:

Reading the ASP today the reader would be struck
by the all too obvious coincidence that America’s
rapidly growing isolationism is not merely confiined
to the international scene but has converged on this
university community as well. Among the young
reformers who are forever fighting student causes
and whom we fully support, there are also some
over-ardent zealots who, in order to earn their extra
brownie points, would have us believe that the
international students on campus are a wasteful

organization and “are on their way to being phased ~

out as F.S.A. Program items.”

It is to these over-ardent zealots that wé, the
foreign students, address ourselves. It is true that
our important role on this campus has forever been
played down but we do feel that it is important at
this juncture both for us and the university com-
munity in which we live that we understand each
other.

We are aware that our efforts have not contributed
to the rehabilitation of any national monument but
in one way or another we have worked to promote
an active dialogue between ourselves'and our host
community. We have always provided a forum for
cultural activities both through our cultural pro-
grams inviting speakers and representing SUNYA at
international conferences and seminars.

In arranging orientation for incoming foreign
students and guests, the international students have
only taxed university finances by subsidizing 50% of
orientation costs, the foreign students paying the
other 50%. On other sister campuses the universities
have borne the expenses to full 100%.

Further comment on our modest contribution
brings to mind the International Student Office
which has been the source of information both for
Americans traveling abroad and _ international
coming here. The International Booth being
awarded the first prize at the State Fair further
demonstrates the quality of our contribution to
campus life. And despite all our efforts we can do
no better than earn such not too complementary
adjectives for ourselves as “wasteful.”

Once before we were the target of unjust criticism
whose apology was conveyed to us when we
protested. But again we seem to have incurred the
wrath of those very “muckrakers” who previously
handed us an apology. We as a united body wonder
how long this past hypocritical, past hostile attitude
will be maintained against us.

With dwindling faith,
Syed Agha Jafri
President ISA

Closed Out

To the Editor:

Another exciting holiday weekend has passed with
no thought given to the poor students who must
remain, The library and gym both were closed at
night, Just the situation necessary to cap off a
boring day.

True, the campus was empty but how about next
week? One isn’t allowed to catch up on his work
after dinner or enjoy a swim or game of volleyball?

Couldn’t provisions be made so workers could
adjust their schedules~ people staying trading off
with those going home. Maybe it could make this a
more lively place next week.

” .. flood the political system with activity ...”

To the Editor:

The Attica massacre is now a little over one week
old. In a nation where the media bludgeons an event
to death within ten days, Attica, probably because
of the sheer brutality of the entire incident,
promises to linger on. Eleven days perhaps, possibly
twelve.

But after some of us have burned ourselves out by
yelling for the firing of Oswald and the impeach-
ment of Rockefeller, how many will embark upon
the task of electorally evicting the Oswalds and
Rockefellers and Nixons from the positions of
power which enable them to make prisoners out of
all of us? How many will be willing to set about the
unglamorous task of dismantling the structures
which allow such men to come to power and permit
the prisoners and the poor to, be used as their
pawns?

The sub-abysmal conditions in the prisons of
New York State and of the nation will not be
corrected by a series of nationwide demonstrations.
It is time ‘that the demagogues among us stopped
using the plight of the poor to score political points.

In Albany County only 2,000 of 8,000 eighteen-
21 year olds have registered to vote. Big deal, you
say. You have read Mr, Marcuse and now you know
that voting is an opiate of the masses, so you do not
partake of systemic political activity because you
feel it is necessary for the maintenance of the status
quo. Well, so are you.

Donald Luce, the journalist who exposed the Tiger
Cages in South Vietnam in 1968, has said that those
of us who do not want any part of “change within
the political system” are themselves an integral part
of that system.

“They are the safety valve, the waste product,”
Luce states, “‘and every system, to function proper-
ly, needs to produce a waste product.”

The political system of the United States could
not function as it has been functioning if everyone
eligible to participate in it was moved to political
action. But, the wrong people are realizing this. The
Republican majority of the State Legislature real-
ized the threat which 18 year old voting power
posed to them, so they quickly enacted a discrimi-
natory law which said that college students must
vote at the place of their permanent residence.

Such a law is merely a device to keep the “waste
products” disenchanted enough so they will remain
outside of the system for as long as possible. What
must be done by all of those whose presence is not
wanted in the political systen, is that they must take
political reprisals against those ‘who would like to
ignore their very existence.

The reprisals of a one-day demonstration or a
bombing cannot really be felt by those politicians
who are cushioned by a political system which
answers such activities by increasing its own forms
of violence (such as deception, contriyed confronta-
tion and ultimately killing) which are rapidly
becoming institutions themselves.

What is necessary is to flood the political system
with activity. Prison reform will only be obtained if
there is follow-up to the outrage which many feel.
The only way to make certain that Dannemora and
the Tombs do not become echoes of Attica is to
sweep out of office those persons who have allowed
prison conditions to degenerate, work to change
those values which brand prisoners as bad boys in
need of punishment, and reconstruct, through elec-
toral sanctions, those institutions of our society
which are not only anti-black, but anti-human.

Disgusted with the white concrete of Albany’s
campus? Get back to nature at Dippikill, part of
the university’s off-campus recreational areas, The
natural environment provides a real alternative to
the often depressing symmetry of the local
architecture.

Dippikill, a 749 acre tract near Warrensburg, New
York, is owned by Student Association and is open
to all members of the university community. It is
administered by Camp Board, a student.and faculty
group. A variety of facilities are available; all aimed
at maintaining the natural beauty of the
Adirondacks.

Located on the banks of the Hudson River (where
the water is actually drinkable!) is the Glen House
where all who use the Dippikill lands are required to
register and pay a $I per night fee. Lodging (for
those less interested in “roughing it”) is available
here, serving up to 38 people.

The Glen House is the only part of the property
which is not owned by Student Association.
Belonging to FSA, it houses the caretakers of the
Dippikill property, Jill and Rick Nelson, two former
students. The rest of the camp area is easily
accessible from the lodge, and equipment may be
borrowed here for camping or recreational use.

More rustic accomodations are found at the Camp
Dippikill farmhouse, accessible by car. The center
section of the building, housing kitchen facilities,
was rebuilt this summer with quite visible
improvements-gas lights and stove, a gas
refrigerator, added roominess, and even electrical
wiring (although electricity has not yet reached the
area), An indoor pump and sink are soon to be
installed so that water can be obtained without
going to the outdoor well. This necessitates the
heating of the building to a year-round
above-freezing temperature to assure the proper
functioning of the pipes.

The building also houses a recreation room with a
fireplace (and plenty of wood nearby). Sleeping

building, some fifty feet away. Below, a side view from the stream,

ter the construction was com-

accomodations, in a more primitive yet still civilized
setting, are available here too. There is, however, no
indoor plumbing.

About a half-mile away from the farmhouse, and
accessible only by foot, is the nearly completed
cabin begun this summer. Constructed of Vermont
pine logs, the cabin was designed by a university art
class. The logs, stripped and of a light color, will be
allowed to age and naturally darken over the winter:
If they do not reach-the desired color by spring, the
logs will probably be stained,

The cabin features a center wood stove and loft
areas for sleeping. It overlooks a brook, its only
running water. Water will be re-routed to form a
pond alongside the structure. No roads will be built
into the cabin site, although a trail is presently in
use.

Construction will be finished by mid-October.
Reservations for group use of the facility will be
accepted after November 1, the time difference
needed for clean-up of the area before it may be
used.

A variety of camp sites are also open to those of
pioneer spirit, A field about 500 feet up the road
from the Camp Dippikill Farmhouse is particularly
suitable for tents, with plenty of other land nearby.

Camping is very popular around Dippikill’s 48 acre
lake. A lean-to was recently constructed on the
south side, sheltering six people, Campsites are also
available throughout the area overlooking the lake.

Swimming and canoeing are among the
recreational uses of Dippikill Lake. Located near the
len-to, on the lake’s edge is the sauna. very popular
with visitors,

Groups and individuals are welcome to use the
property in all seasons. Reservations for use of the
farmhouse are being taken now and also for the
cabin’s use after November |. These may be placed
with Mr. Fred Cook in Campus Center 130, There is
also a possibility of, buses running to the property
for large groups (or on demand of many interested
individuals).

Problems Face
New EOP Director

by Al Thompson

Vernon A. Buck is a new man
in a difficult and controversial
job. Succeeding Dr. Harry Hamil-
ton as Directoriof the Educational
Opportunities Program, he has the
problem of how to satisfy the
needs of approximately 800 stu-
dents with a slimmed-down bud-
get. Furthermore, the projection
for 1972-73 calls for over 1,000
students.

Mr. Buck stated that some of
the problems of EOP “were the
lack of performance data, the
apparent latk of awareness of the
mandated objectives of the pro-
gram.” Students and faculty have
‘on occasion questioned the pres-
ence of the EOP on campus.

When asked how he would re-
solve the differences and relate to
the sectionalized factions within
the EOP, Mr. Buck replied, “Too
much consciousness is devoted
to differences and not enough to
similarities. We are all deprived.”

Asked to publicly clean up the
many false academic impressions
of EOP, Mr. Buck commented
that EOP students are individuals,
some with heavy individual poten-
tial, and they should reach their
‘own personal goals,

On the financial plight of EOP,

Mr. Buck replied, “EOP faces a
tight budget, as the entire Univer-
sity is at this time-so EOP is not
being slighted or phased out.” In
addition, he stated that almost
everything has been cut but stu-
dent support, Money is a road-
block: “there is none to experi-
ment with.” But in spite of these
obstacles, Mr. Buck stated, “We're
going to make it.”

Last on his list of problems
facing EOP is the lack of com-
munication, Mr, Buck stated that
communications must be im-
proved with students to make sure
correct information is given as
rapidly and accurately as possible.
“Students should be and will be
informed of good and bad fac-
tors.” Since EOP students are
scattered all over the campus,
effective communication is imper-
ative. A newsletter will be printed
to provide general information as
well as announcements of small or
mass meetings. And, learning from
the past, this term each residential
area on campus has an EOP coun-
sellor to combat problems that
may arise in a campus community
as large as Albany State.

Mr, Buck stated, “The EOP pro-
gram will be an open one this
academic year, We have nothing
to hide,” Asked if he is going to
make known the problems of
EOP, he replied, “Everyone is

entitled to know the directions in
which EOP is moving.” Mr, Buck
feels that EOP students, as mem-
bers in good standing of the uni-
versity, should be reminded of the
need to participate in all universi-
ty functions.

Mr. Buck will exert his influence
on campus, but will his actions be
“militant”? If necessary, he re-
sponded, he will carry out “those
actions that will be necessary to
achieve objectives of the program;
each action to suit the situation.”

Mr. Buck praised the students he
has come in contact with so far,
feeling they agree with the pro-
gram and he noted their “splendid
cooperation.” The faculty he has
found less warm (“There has been
resistance to change”) but he be-
lieves that they will change with
the realization of common goals.

Mr. Buck is faced with demands
from many people. He feels, how-
ever, that his primary responsibili-
ty is to his EOP students. Next on
the list of his priorities is the
Program itself--the internal prob-
lems and the insecure financial
base. Mr, Buck, though, is well
aware that the EOP is a part of
this campus, Thus, he believes
that his commitment to EOP is a
part of his larger responsibility to
the University as a whole.

Central Council Votes

For No Further Appeals

By a more than two-thirds majority, the Central
Couneil has voted to repeal all legislation author-
izing further appeal in the case of Stringer vs.

Gould.

The suit questioned the absolute authority of the
students to allocate their own monies, accumulated
through the compulsory student tax. The Supreme
Court of the State of New York had ruled that the
students must act in concert with the Administra-
tion, however, the case, referred to the Appellate
Division, was declared moot as there are now new
requirements concerning the allocation of such
funds. Student lawyer Sanford Rosenbloom recom-

mended that the appeal be dropped.

“We Can Win With Rick’-Ford

by Dave Fink

The second annual edition of
Albany State Club Football will
be unveiled Saturday when the
Danes host Utica College in the
opener for both teams.

Head coach Dr. Robert Ford is,
what might be termed, “cautious-
ly optimistic” about the Great
Dane’s prospects for the 1971
season. “I can say with all honesty
that we are a much stronger foot-
ball team this year,” Ford as-
serted. Fifteen players, both fresh-
men and transfers, along with 16
men newly out for the squad join
about 25 holdovers from last
year’s 2-4-1 outfit, to comprise a
very young team. “We will have
only one senior on the starting

defensive unit,” added Ford.
That’s a gamble.
_The rigorous eight + game

schedule is filled with question
marks but State fans can be sure
of a few things. The team will,
according to Ford, (1) be in as
g00d, if not better, condition than
all their opponents, (2) be mental-
ly tough and (3) have a great deal

of pride. It is phenomenal to see
the spirit on the Ball Club, Whe-
ther or not they can be winners is
another matter.

Utica, Albany’s first obstacle to
a winning season, will be a formid-
able opponent. They are a phy-
sical team and they are big. The
Danes will know they’ve been in a
ball game.

As of Wednesday, two of the
team’s top performers, quarter-
back Bill Flanagan (shoulder) and
co-captain and star running back
Bernie Boggs (knee) were doubt-
ful.: Rick Petty, a real fine leader
and passer will start at quarter-
back. “We are very satisfied that
we can win with Rick. He gets
better every day,” said Ford. If
Boggs cannot go Saturday, Calvin
Payne will open at the tailback
slot. Payne broke off a neat 50
yard run in last Saturday’s 13-0
scrimmage win over Middlebury.
Lonnie Davis at fullback and
Ernie Thomas at ‘swingback will
complete the backfield.

Second year men Ed Perka and
Eddie Williams will man the end
positions with senior Cleve Little

Hackett, Frederick, Co-capts
Harriers Down

Clarkson 15-50

Last Saturday the SUNY Albany
harriers began the 1971 season in
fine fashion, taking the first seven
Places en route to defeating Clark-
son College of Technology, 15-50.
Vetern Coach Robert Munsey was
Particularly pleased with the per-
formance of freshman Brian
Quinn, who finished first, with a
time of 26:40.

The Albany dual meet record
now stands at 1—0. The Danes
hope to improve their seasonal
slate next Saturday at the U.S.
Coast Guard Academy, where
they will take on Coast Guard and
Montclair State (N.J.).

Seniors Dennis Hackett (Hilton)
and Larry Frederick (Mohawk)
have been elected co-captains of
the team.

Hackett, a standout runner
throughout his college career,
holds both the 3.5 and five mile
home course records by Albany
runners. He has 15 career dual
meet victories and last year was

the first Albany finisher in all but
one of his 10 races.

Frederick was named Outstand-
ing Freshman Athlete at Albany for
1967-68, when he starred on the
frosh cross-country team. He was
the No. 1 varsity runner as a
sophomore, but suffered a severe
leg fracture the following summer
and is just now regaining his top
form.

For the first time ever, the
Albany State J.V. cross country
team has defeated Cobleskill. It
took the Great Danes six years to
do it, but last weekend they final-
ly upset one of their top rivals,
21-36.

‘Arnie Shell of Albany was the
first runner to complete the 3%
mile cireuit, being timed at 19:03.
He just managed to: outstride
Cobleskill’s Pat Nash (19:07).
Peter Payne (third), Bob Elias
(fourth), Bernie Tosky (fifth), and
Joe Riley (eighth), rounded out
the State scorers.

Edge Potsdam, 2-1

Saturday afternoon Coach Wil-
liam Schieffelin’s booters defeated
a tough, physical Potsdam squad,
2-1, in the opening SUNY Ath-
letic Conference game for both
teams. Albany’s 1—0 mark auto-
matically puts the Danes in a tie
for first place in the league.

After a scoreless first quarter,
Potsdam’s forward Bob Gaudin
tallied the game’s first goal on a
fast break, with 11:02 gone in the
second period. Almost immediate-
ly, Albany forward John Streeter
tied the score with a kick from
the left side of the net at 11:19.

Each team then settled down to
some close defense, with Albany
hitting one trouble spot midway
in the third quarter. Starting full-
back Steve Lemmerman was
downed with’a spike-inflicted gash
on his left knee, giving a scare to
the Danes, who’ have been suffer-
ing from acute lack of depth.
Although Lemmerman was forced
to leave the game, it appears that
his injury will not prevent him

ember 24

from playing in next Saturday’s
home game against Oswego.

At 2:07 ‘in the. final period,
Albany’s Demetrios Michael set
up halfback Uzi Haimoff for what
proved to be the contest’s winning
goal. Thanks to the efforts of
goalie John Thayer, who was cred-

ited with 12 saves, State was able
to hang on for the victory.

The Subjective Filmgoer

by Robert Verini

Above all else, it must be said
that Ken Russell’s new film THE
DEVILS, rated “X” by the Mo-
tion Picture Association of Amer-
ica, Condemned by the National
Catholic Office for Motion Pic-
tures, dubbed by Playboy “one of
the most vulgar films ever made,”
and the subject of enormous con-
troversy pro and con, is at its core
the most moral film you are likely
to see all year, For many it will be
an emotionally shattering exper-
ience; but those who are moved
but who can remain somewhat
apart and deal with the subject
matter rationally - and the film’s
structure cleverly allows one to do

this - will find themselves present
at a complex morality play which
successfully comes to grips with
the profoundest questions of man
vs. evil and which can bring an
audience a great deal closer to one
kind of truth.

Sound impossible for one film?
Perhaps. On one level THE
DEVILS (now at the Delaware
Theatre) can be viewed as the
struggle of an innocent man a-
gainst an essentially corrupt Estab-
lishment, as a demented nun
(Vanessa Kedgrave) in 17th Cen-
tury France accuses a priest (Oli-
ver Reed) of being a sorceror and
consort with Satan, setting off a
chain of events leading to the
cleric’s torture and death. Digging

Dear Izzy,

I found the biggest bargain in town at the Swiss Inn.
For only $1 idmission and No minimum they give 5%
hours, full hours, of songs and dancing by the fabulous
Matterhorn String Band, plus they show old movies and
have slides of the words to sing with. What a fantastic
singer MissDiane is at the SwissInn on Rt. 20,
10 miles west of the campus.

The real big bargain is the Gay Nineties Hour between
8 and 9 pm when they practically give the bar away;
why big 12 oz. draft beers only cost a quarter and all
other drinks are $.45.

My goodness, all ages from 18-80 go there and what a
place— they must seat 500.

I understand they take some private parties also.

See you at the Swiss Inn, Friday and Saturday night.

Your friend,
Abe

P.S. No one under 18 admitted.

deeper, however, we find that at
the center of the film is the
question of the essence of evil,
and of how it is possible to sin
against God by sinning against
man, Father Grandier is inno-
cent of the charges
seems like a childishly simple
thesis, and yet...how many of us
can say that we have lived our
lives with this in mind to even the
smallest degree? Perhaps man
needs the kind of awesome brutal-
ity of THE DEVILS to remind us
of our individual and collective
responsibilities -- that is why I say
that this particular film may bring
some measure of truth to its more
perceptive viewer.

Of course, on quite another
level, the film may simply be seen
as a parade of the most obscene
and vomitous grotesqueries. It fea-
tures, among other things, nuns
stripping themselves naked in pub-
lic and committing atrocities, the
death throes of a plague victim
shown in graphic detail, and hun-
dreds of bodies rotting in a giant
pit. It is images such as these
which have raised such an outery
among disgusted moviegoers and

critics. But I maintain that none
of the “grotesqueries” are thrown
in gratuitously, as Fellini did so
outrageously in his SATYRICON.
And director-writer Ken Russell
never oversteps his bounds, When
Grandier is being tortured, for
the mad Sister Jeanne des Anges,
but he is guilty of both compro-
mising his personal vows, thus
breaking the bond with God we
are all bound to make in one way
or another, and ultimately of
hypocrisy. It is this willful aban-
doning of his faith which con-
demns Grandier; in similar ways
the town of Loudon, the Church,
and man himself are shown to be
equally culpable and equally
doomed.

Certainly THE DEVILS is not
an optimistic film, In overview it
is the depiction of a world turning
to shit before one’s eyes. Yet I
feel that by viewing and analyzing
the film there is a certain measure
of hope to be discerned here. Its
message is, basically, to be true to
oneself, one’s beliefs, one’s fel-
low man, and one’s God. This
example, we are never shown
exactly what is happening to him.

All we see is his agonized face,
and this enables us to feel his pain
and we can empathize so much
more with him. Russell never
stoops to out-and-out bad taste to
make a point. This is the differ-
ence between pure filth and pure
art.

The actors in the large cast are
uniformly splendid, _ especially
Redgrave and Reed, whose dyna-
mic, frenzied performances add
new lustre to their already distin-
guished careers. Special mention
should also go to Gemma Jones,
who is charming and touching as a
simple country girl who is en-
amored of the libertine Grandier.
Also contributing to the mood
and atmosphere of madness that
Russell and his actors have la-
bored so hard to create are the
superb technical achievements of

master cinematographer David
Watkin and art director Robert
Cartwright.

I have spoken at great length
about this particular film, because
I feel that of all the important and
distinguished efforts that have ap-
peared this year -- and there have
been many ~ few are so affecting
and meaningful as THE DEVILS.
In its way, it may prove to be
effective in rooting out intoler-
ance, hypocrisy, and prejudice --

A large, black beetle crawled
slowly up the aisle as I waited for
the lights to dim and the Hell-
strom Chronicle to begin. I didn’t
know whether to take this appari-
tion as a clever joke on the part of
the theatre management, or as a
onsequential omen of the mess-
age of the film I was about to see.
My reaction ‘to the Hellstrom
Chronicle was equally ambiguous
-- was it merely a clever piece of
box office manipulation, or had it
a meaning for us?

Hellstrom makes a good case for
his friends, whose well-developed
social orders and carefully defined
roles make for little of the chaos
one finds in the world of humans
~- “where there is rio intelligence
there is no stupidity,” Hellstrom
reminds, Termite mushroom gar-
dens, advanced genetic breeding
among many insects and whole
armies of ants building entire
complexes of temporary fortresses
do give one pause.

Crochets

by Steve Hirsch

When I think back to the Stu-
dent Strike of May 1970 I remem-
ber the thrill I had when someone
proposed that the Students of
America boycott the output of
the recording industry to gain
some type of political or econo-
mie power. I was extremely disap-
pointed to see the motion voted
or acclaimed down, because of the
number of Right-On Revolution-
ary Groups that would lose their
hip capitalist shirts if it carried
through. I had no political feelings
about it, you understand, I was
just hoping the American Record
Industry would get what it de-
served.

American classical recordings,
compared to their German,
French and English counterparts,
are a disgrace. Granted, the per-
formances themselves are almost
always very good to excellent, but
the packaging and engineering are
often atrocious. Consider Colum-
bia Records for instance. It is
indeed rare that one can be found
without a ridiculous high freque-
ney hiss or some other distracting

surface noise, And if one is a
collector of the orchestral works
of Charles Ives, he can count on
acquiring three pressings of the
same recording of “Three Places
in New England” if he wishes to
complete his set on Columbia.

Now listen to a recording by the
Boston Symphony on Deutche
Grammaphon, or one of the Colin
Davis Berlioz series on Phillips.
Exquisite, crystal clear sound, in-
telligent program notes (see Col-
umbia’s “cutesy” program notes
on their “Wagner's Greatest Hits”
album), and a totally satisfying
performance.

RCA is only slightly less of a
sinner than its comrade monolith.
Red Seal records, you may have
noticed, seem to have slightly less
surface noise, but they’re so flim-
sy (RCA claims that’s an improve-
ment - we'll see when the new
reports get in ) that I’m scared of
them, It’s a shame that so many
good performances are recorded
on these labels, for when they’re
on sale I buy them, wishing I
could afford the imports. Another
case of ethical prostitution on my
part, I suppose.

Hellstrom Chronicled

Our guide through this opus of
the insect world is Nils Hellstrom,
M.S., Ph.D., self-proclaimed here-
tic who tells us with maniacal
calm that “if one species is to
inherit the earth, that species will
not be man,” Hellstrom’s obses
sion with the insect world, (“it’s
not easy to be obsessed,” he tells
us ), has led him to believe in the
superiority of his crawling, flying
friends who, unlike man, who
seeks to control his environment,
have learned in the 300 million
years of their existence to live
with and seek the protection of
their world.

The movie also raises some ques-
tions concerning the nature of
man and insect, Hellstrom sug-
yests we could benefit by obser-
ving their almost oriental sublima-
tion of “ego” to the whole. Do we
take life too seriously, it asks,
living it tormented with questions
rather than “accepting the gift (of
life) and gently saying goodbye.”
Finally, it asks the inevitable,
“Are we merely insects in the eyes
of the universe?”

The true stars of the film, the
insects, are as awful, stunning,
fantastic, bizarre and beautiful as
anything Hollywood make-up and
production crews have created in
the history of film. The photogra-

FSA Vending Machine

Operation Charged Illegal

The vending machines in your
dorm, in the campus center,
podium, and tunnels are and have
been operated in violation of the
State University contract with
SUNY-A’s Faculty Student Asso-
ciation.

According to New York State
Auditors, Article 3 of the contract
between State University and FSA
provides that “FSA may operate
vending machines, This does not
mean that FSA may sub-contract
a vending operation to an outside
concern but must service and
maintain FSA owned or leased
vending machines with the use of
FSA personnel.”

Since past and present vending
operations have been subcon-
tracted in violation of the
SUNY-FSA contract, the State
Auditors, with an eye open for
additional revenue, naturally de-
mand all net commissions should
be paid to the impoverished State
Treasury.

On June 30, 1968, FSA entered
into an exclusive contract with
Canteen Company after competi-
tive bidding. Under;the terms of
this contract, Canteen Company
services all machines and collects
all receipts. Gross vending sales
for fiscal year 1970 amounted to
$282,957. A single check for the
total receipts collected by
Canteen Company is forwarded to
FSA which banks the check and
draws an FSA check in favor of
Canteen for their share of the
receipts, amounting to $238,607
in 1970, The only purpose of this
cumbersome procedure, State
Auditor report, is to provide an
arrangement whereby FSA does
not receive vending commissions

by J. Stephen Flavin

but rather pays the vendor “for
services rendered in maintaining
the vending machine,” This “you
pay me, I’ll pay you back minus
my share”’ method is FSA’s means
to circumvent article 3 of FSA’s
contract with State University.

In June, 1971, FSA raised prices
in all food units. Canteen Com-
pany sells the same Campbell’s
Soups and Bounty stews at the
Snack Bar. The stews and soups
were being sold cheaper and with
no sales tax, than in the Snack
Bar. FSA food service purchaser
Dick Fink “asked” Canteen Com-
pany to raise their prices accord-
ingly. Thus far, Canteen has re-
fused. Food service employees
were quick to note, however, that
the price of apples were cheaper
and coffee better than the same
items purchased in vending
machines.

Profits from the sub-contracted
vending machines partially cover
FSA losing services, particularly
the bookstore, faculty housing,
the Mohawk Campus, reception
and administrative lulue and
parties. Profits derived from
students, largest percentage of
vending machine consumers,
could go for cheaper soups and
stews.

Dell Ward, vending machine
manager for FSA, says that the
university community receives a
sufficiently diverse selection of
products at a reasonable cost, all
things considered,

One of the main problems for
Ward and Canteen Company is
vandalism, which has increased
yearly. Vandalism costs, running
between 4,000 and 6,000 dollars
in 1970 are absorbed by Canteen.

Several corrective measures have
been taken to curb vandalism,
which Ward feels are best left
unpublicized, Canteen Company
does try to collect damage costs
when individuals responsible are
known. Currently, there are no
sandwich machines because the
amount of glass seemed too
tempting to vandals. Ward claims
that the entire university com-
munity suffers when vandals
strike because the machine is
immediately taken out, therefore,
depriving users of the machines’
convenience,

Ward says that the best way to
control vandalism is through self-
-supervision of students by elected
representatives in the living areas,
as existed a few years ago. Much
of the increase in damages, Ward
explains, is a result of the rapid
“growth of the university.”

Canteen Company officials
claim that they don’t consider the
operation to be a rip-off of the
university community, Itemized
reports of Canteen Company
show that over two-thirds of the
sales were cigarettes and candy,
both medium profit items. Most
of the rest of the sales were low
profit items, soups, stews, and
snacks. The sale of coffee, a high
profit item, is under 5% of the
total sales. Canteen officials felt
that the purchasing habits of the
students kept their profit margin
considerably lower than at places
where high profit items, soda and
coffee, were a much higher per-
centage of total sales.

Last spring the Committee on
Financial Affairs of the FSA re-
commended a study of the poten-
tial gain in income from direct

The following figures represent the net in-

tions, including Xerox and washing machines,
for the period 1965-1970. The figures do not
include the salary of the FSA vending machine
manager and his travel, entertainment, and
convention expenses, a total of $8,000. The
income is only a smallfraction of the total
realized from vending operations, and it is used
for purposes other than reducing food prices.

operation of the vending machines
by FSA personnel. The sub-com-
mittee of the Board of Directors
rejected that recommendation
feeling that an average of 12% of
the gross sales amounting to
$35,000 or more per year was
better left alone.

Ward gives qualified support to
the rejection of the FSA direct
operation of vending. Ward
explains that his own personal
studies and frequent comparisons
with other university vending

machine operations showed little
cash gain possible. To organize an
FSA run operation, Ward points
out, would require a large initial
investment in machines and
goods, warehousing, maintenance,
crews, officer delivery means.
Ward concedes that some univer-
sities (Buffalo, New Paltz) have
achieved workable operations, but
little savings in costs resulted,
Canteen’s contract, Ward says, has
been renewed this past September

courses will have to be offered at
the expense of other programs
unless outside help is found.”
Both Sorotkin and Bulger empha-
size that Environmental Studies
courses would have to be offered
using existing resources. For the
reason, the Steering Committee
has applied to the National Sci-
ence Foundation, the National In-
stitute of Health, the Office of
Education, and other federal agen-
cies for financial assistance.
Plagued by the all-too prevalent

problem of shrinking resources,
the Environmental Studies Pro-
gram is nevertheless taking its first
hesitant steps and is now in a
transitional period between the
discussions and proposals of the
Steering Committee and the ac-
tual participation of students and
faculty in an educational program.
It has been slow in coming, but
this Spring we can expect to see
the introduction of courses which
deal directly with the problems of
the environment.

English-in-Action

Provides Interaction

The

State University and The Albany Inter-

national Center are jointly sponsoring a program,
ENGLISH-in-ACTION, an affiliate of the national

organization. This program arranges one-to-one
meetings between the International Student and a
conversational partner who is a native speaker of
English. The two partners meet for one hour each
week at a regular time.and place.

The objective of the program is to help the
International Student become familiar with in-
formal English and idiomatic expressions, as well as
knowledgeable about any cultural patterns of
Americans which puzzle him.

If a student decides to become a partner in
ENGLISH-in-ACTION, he will pay a fee of $1 per
year. The orientation for Americans is October 4 at
4:30 in CC 375. The first two conversation meet-
ings, October 11 and 18, will be in Campus Center
375. Beginning October 25, the meeting room will
be CC 333. The time set for the weekly meetings is
each Monday from 4:30 to 5:30.

International Students may sign up in their
English class. Others may sign up in Education 112,
or in the International Student Office, CC 332.
Coordinators are Professor Ruth Blackburn, TESL,
School of Education, and Gail Fisher, Graduate
student,

Perhaps with the introduction of environmental courses, scenes like this one, of New York City, will be
avoided,
