Rocky’s Proposed Budget

Draws Varied Criticism

ALBANY, N.Y. AP — Governor Rockefeller
spelled out Wednesday the details of his proposal to
increase state revenue by $16.5 million in the new
fiscal year through higher fees for a vast array of
licenses, permits, examinations and registrations.

The largest group that would be hit with higher
levies would be the estimated 1.8 million persons
who obtain hunting, fishing and trapping licenses.
They would pay twice as much after May 1, when
the total package of increased charges would take
effect.

The governor proposed the changes as part of his
plan to balance the 1971-72 state budget, which
would raise spending by about $1.5 billion.

Rockefeller said the fees charged for a wide
variety of special services have not been hiked since
the 1930's. He added that adjustments are needed
to keep pace with inflation.

Witnesses Unhappy with Budget

Witnesses were unified in their unhappiness with
Gov. Rockefeller’s proposed $8.45 billion budget
Wednesday as the legislature’s fiscal committees
opened formal budget hearings.

The reasons for their dissatisfaction were quite
different, however, as the testimony developed.

The budget plan does not provide enough money
for education, said spokesmen for the State
Teachers Association, State School Boards Associa-
tion and the Council of School District Administrat-
ors.

The budget plan provides too much for education,
said spokesmen. for the Conservative party and the
Citizens Public Expenditure Survey Inc.

The Big Six mayors — John V. Lindsay of New
York City, Frank Sedita of Buffalo, Alfred Del
Bello of Yonkers, Lee Alexander of Syracuse, and
Erastus Corning 2nd of Albany — warned of fiscal
chaos in their cities unless more state aid is
forthcoming.

The Conservative party spokesman wanted the
state to stay out of local affairs.

Various welfare groups and community organiza-
tions sought more money for welfare recipients.
Others said welfare grants ought to be reduced.

The hearings Wednesday were devoted to the state
aid to localities recommendations in the budget. On
Thursday, they take up the government operations
and the construction portions of the budget.

Similar budget hearings were conducted simul-
taneously in Baffalo and New York City. Little
other legislative business was conducted.

The Assembly met briefly Wednesday but put off
any activity until Monday in deference to Senator
Edward J. Speno, Rep.-East Meadow, who died
earlier in the day. The Senate recessed Tuesday for
the rest of the week.

Usually, the first day of budget hearings is the
so-called spender’s day when more money is sought
from the state. The second day generally is the
saver’s day, and the time when speakers urge
cutbacks in state spending.

This year, reflecting Rockefeller’s proposals for a
$1.1 billion tax increase, the protests creeped into
the first day of hearings.

The taxpayers, said Edward F. Leonard of the
Conservative party, are “‘being backed up against the
wall....Gentlemen, something has got to give—either
the backs of the taxpayers or the impetus behind
ever increasing state spending.”

According to the Big Six mayors, “The proposed
state budget...includes hidden local tax increases for

virtually every local government as an inevitable

consequence of inadequate local assistance.”
They asked state payment of costs mandated on

localities, greater aid to education, state takeover of —

welfare payments, financial support to police
departments and compensation for property ex-
empted from local property taxes.

“People’s Protest Thursday”

Dozens of placard-carrying people from across the
state came to complain about the Governor's budget
on Thursday.

Inside the State Education Building, in Chancel-
lor’s Hall, dozens of placard-carrying matrons
crowded into seats to listen to a stream of witnesses
complaining about the governor’s budget plan.

‘They applauded when a spokesman for the Empire
State Chamber of Commerce warned that the
taxpayer was becomeing an “endangered species.”
They scowled at demands for more money for
welfare and other state programs.

Their complaints were directed at members of the
legislature’s fiscal committees, who were conducting
the second day of public hearings on Rockefeller’s
proposed $8.45 billion budget for the fiscal year
beginning April 1.

Speaker after speaker, most of them businessmen,
complained about tax increases. “The proposed tax
increases will cause many taxpayers to follow the
rule of ‘wear out, use up, make do and do without,”
said John M. Quimby of Schenectady, research
director of the Citizens Public Expenditure Survey
Inc, “Why shouldn’t the state follow the same rule?”

Assemblyman Arthur O. Eve, Dem.-Buffalo, told
the unfriendly audience that their demands for
welfare cuts demonstrated an unfamiliarity with the
problem. He quoted statistics that less than 40,000
of the state’s 1.6 million welfare population are
considered employable, with the rest being blind,
disabled, aged and the supporters of dependent
children.

Dr. Robert L. Ketter at his inauguration as president of SUNY at Buffalo spoke of the arrogance that
has arisen as a result of “the imposition of an autocratic lecture system...”

New Buffalo President

Lecture System,

Research Attacked

AP Compilation

The new president of the State University at Buffalo
took his fellow educators to task Monday, saying that
arrogance and fear have led to “serious abuses of
academic freedom...”

“This arrogance,” Dr. Robert L. Ketter said at his
inauguration, “has been manifested in the imposition of
an autocratic lecture system which too frequently has
denied students the freedom of inquiry which we have
claimed for ourselves.

“We expected our own conclusions, expounded at
length, to be returned dutifully at the end of the term.
We have thus displayed in ourselves the closed minds
which we have been so quick to condemn in others.”

Ketter also deplored what he called laws enacted
specifically to control campus disorders.

He said such laws were “repressive at worst, and at best
they were regressive, for they are certain to erode the
institutional autonomy which is a prerequisite for true
academic freedom.”

Ketter also said educators spend too much time on
research and not enough time on teaching.

Ketter said too many educators have accepted lighter
course loads “not to devote more time to individual
students but to pursue our own interests...”

“Our offices are more often closed than open to
students,” he said, “and much of our teaching has been
left to the least experienced.”

The university, he said, shouldn’t reject research, but
said “teaching is primary.”

Democratic Leaders
Favor Drug Law Ease

ALBANY, N. Y. AP — The legislature’s Democratic
leaders came out in favor of a proposal to ease the
penalties for possession of small quantities of
marijuana.

Senate Minority Leader Joseph Zaretzki and
Assembly Minority Leader Stanley Steingut issued a
joint statement endorsing recommendations made
last month by the Temporary State Commission to
Evaluate the Drug Laws.

The commission proposed a revised range of
penalties so that possession and use of the smallest
specified quantity of marijuana—one-quarter
ounce—would be punishable by a maximum of 15
days in jail, rather than the present one year
imprisonment.

Zaretzki and Steingwt said a broader range of
penalties would make the state’s law “both rea-
sonable and enforceable.”

They added, however, that they did not endorse
legalizing the use of marijuana.

Vassar Opposes
IBM Grad. Center

The Student Senate at Vassar College passed four resolutions
Wednesday that denounced plans for a controversial consortium
graduate center on the campus to be funded by the International
Business Machine Corp. Student opposition was based on their
contention that the technological aspect of the plan was “not in
keeping with the character of Vassar College,” a liberal arts school.
Students also opposed the plan because of IBM’s involvement in
defense contract work. A boycott of classes and similar actions was
called for to voice opposition. In addition, a march on IBM’s buildings
in Poughkeepsie was held by 50 students on Wednesday.

Representative of Working Class

Bernadette Devlin Speaks

by Mike Ellis
City Editor

Bernadette Devlin told a cheering crowd at
Skidmore that the fight she helped lead in Northern
Ireland was “not in defense of a Catholic minority
but to demand economic freedom and justice for
the working class.”

Speaking before an overflow crowd in Saratoga
3unday, the twenty-three year old MP (Member of
Parliament) stated she had arrived at her socialist
outlook “by the worker route, not by the
intellectual route. I speak not as an Irish Catholic
but as a member of the international working class.”

Devlin grew up on welfare and family charity after
ner father’s early death. The area she lives in has
never had a male unemployment figure below 7%.
(It is now over 10%.)

The recent demonstrations in Ireland began in
October, 1968, when a group of civil rights
demonstrators were doused with water cannons.
Because of her participation in demonstrations last
year, she was imprisoned for four months. However,
she was reelected to Parliament and took her seat
after her release from prison.

Devlin said that “official government statistics
show 5% of the British own 85% of the wealth.”
She said the situation is similar in most countries,

“The working class has created every progressive
change in the world. The 5% have produced the
wars and misery. The working class has not started
war.” In a related comment, she said, “The 5% of
Americans created the demand for the Viet Nam
War because they were afraid of losing power in the
area.”

At a press conference earlier in the day, she stated,
“What I would wish for Ireland is a ...situation
where the people have got their rights, that is a
situation in which there is no unemployment, no
poverty line, no homeless; to have that situation
you must, in fact, have the control of the wealth
and power in ...the hands of the democratic
majority.”

“The democratic majority in any society are the

95% of that society which produces the wealth;
therefore, give to the working class of Ireland all the
means of production. I would classify that as a
socialist republic,”

The purpose of her trip to America is to raise
funds for a socialist research center in Belfast. She is
a member of the People’s Democracy which has six
aims: one man, one vote (in Northern Ireland
property qualifications exist for voting and rich
landowners acquire the votes of their tenants); and a
fair drawing of electoral boundaries; freedom of
speech and assembly; repeal of the Special Powers
Act (which gives the police almost unlimited power
of arrest and detention); and a fair allocation of jobs
and houses.

She was also asked about her sympathy for Angela
Davis.

“ if you look at Angela Davis’ position, it’s very
much the same as Dan Berrigan’s position or the
position of far too many young people in Norther
Ireland... Everybody knows that were they not the
people they were, did they not expouse the political
ideologies they do, they wouldn’t be standing
there.”"*You become very aware...that the law is not
the protectorate of the people. It is yet one more
arm which can be used by those people in ower to
stiffle the dissidents.”

Devlin holds that there is not equality before the
law, “It is made by the system for the protection of
that system, and anyone who tries, by whatever
peaceful means, to change that system, will find
that the law is wide enough to charge him with a
crime,””

As ‘‘a member of the international working class,
we assert our right not only to the means of
production, but we organize to take that right. And
when military might is used against us, we assert our
right of survival and self defense,” she said.

Miss Devlin believes unification can occur only
when workers find the common bond of socialism
to unite them.

Civilian Review Board to

Watch Military Intelligence

Robert Dobkin
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON AP-— Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird announced today creation of a top-level
civilian review board to oversee domestic military intelligence activity and to insure that the constitutional

rights of all citizens are safeguarded.

Laird named Asst. Secretary of Defense Robert F. Froehlke to head the board

and “direct,

manage and inspect military investigative and related counter-intelligence activities.”

The action carries out Laird’s Dec. 23 pledge to strengthen

‘ilian control over domestic military

intelligence operations to prevent a recurrence of the controversy that surrounded the military’s spying on

civilian dissenters and political activists.

The new board, called the Defense Investigative Review Council, will be composed of senior civilian
Pentagon officials with only one of its members from the military. He will be Lt. Gen. Donald Bennett,
director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, DIA, which is responsible for foreign intelligence.

Froehike said the new board is preparing a comprehensive, dep
investigative and related counter-intelligence activities,

artment-wide policy governing all future

Froehlke said a review of charges that the military spied on civilians without authorization found that
the allegations “were often exaggerated, but contained sufficient substance to justify both concern and

corrective actions.”

Although he declared he “found no evidence of a grand conspiracy,” Froehlke acknowledged that, in
some cases, the military had been negligent in its zeal to collect information on possible civil disturbances.
Senate hearings will open next week on allegations that spying on civilians by the military violated

constitutional rights to privacy.

He blamed the problem, in part, on the tense domestic situation in 1967-68, During that time when the
military was ordered into an area, he said, civilian officials were “too imprecise” in telling what the

military could do.

Under the reorganization, he said, the review board will report directly to the secretary of defense.

Slavie Studies Dept.
Result of Cooperation

by Larry Berwitz

A spirit of co-operation be-
tween faculty and students has
been instrumental in the forma-
tion of the Slavic Studies Depart-
ment, to be instituted here at
SUNYA in the fall. Ten years ago
Russian studies were started at
SUNYA under the auspices of the
Germanic and Slavic Languages
and Literature Department, At
that time, there were only thirty
books in the Russian field in our
library. Since then, the Russian
library has grown to over 10,000
volumes.

There were original plans to
form a Slavic Studies Department
here in Fall '70. Noted historian
Michael Cherniavsky and Profes-
sor David Djaparidge were slated
to organize such a department.
However the new department to
be postponed a year, until a new
chairman could be found.

At present, the applicant ac-
cepted by the Russian Depart-
ment’s faculty-studet committee
is being cleared by the Committee
on Continuing Appointments. It is
hoped that this new appointment
can be announced sometime next
month,

A search committee composed
of administration and faculty was
formed to find suitable candidates
for the position of chairman.
Three candidates met with the
faculty and the Russian student
representatives and both groups
voted 50-50 for the candidate of
their choice. The student repre-
sentatives became involved with
the Russian Department as a re-
sult of the Student Strike last
spring. These students are the
elected representatives of the
majors and minors in the Russian
Department and have been instru-
mental in urging reform within
the Department as well as pressing
for Russian autonomy from the
German Department. Sonya
Sasuta, nominal head of the stu-
dent representatives commenting
on the student rationale for in-
volvement said, “Everyone needed
an answer to what the University
was about.”

AEE Ps

Anyone who has copies
of the January 22 and
February 5 issues of the

Thank you.

Negotiations are also in progress
for a full professor who will take
over the duties of Professor
Catherine Wolkonsky who is going
into semi-retirement as of Fall
"71. Professor Wolkonsky has
been at SUNYA since 1963 and
has been instrumental in the
growth of the department.

Since the inception of the Rus-
sian Department, its growth has

been rapid. In 1966 a graduate
program for Master of Arts was
formed. There are between twen-
ty and twenty four graduate stu-
dents taking part in this program
every year. Last year there were
thirteen graduates with a Master
of Arts degree. There are present-
ly plans to incorporate a doctoral
program in the department by
1973. From the one course of-
fered in Russian in 1961, the
department has expanded to
twenty six undergraduate and
graduate courses offered now.
Plans include the expansion of the
curriculum within the depart-
ment, as well as the development
of a summer program in Russia.

It is also hoped that from
teacher and class evaluation
forms, the department can make
available a booklet to students
planning on taking any Russian
courses, that will contain more in
depth course description than in
currently offered in the bulletin as
well as teacher evaluation inform-
ation.

‘The growth of the Russian De-
partment is in part a reflection on
the administration’s policy of pro-
moting understanding about a
vital area in the world today.

Council of Churches
0.K. Stein Bill

ALBANY, N.Y. AP — The State
Council of Churches endorsed
Wednesday a bill before the legis-
lature that would protect New
Yorkers against serving in an un-
declared military conflict.

The legislative commission of
the Protestant organization said in
a statement that it urged passage
of the bill sponsored by Demo-
cratic Assemblyman Andrew
Stein of Manhattan.

That measure would amend New
York’s military law so that a state
resident would not have to serve
ina combat zone outside the
United States or in an area where
hostilities have existed for more
than 60 days unless the Congress
declared that a state of war
existed in which this country was
involved.

“We are opposed to involuntary
participation of citizens of our
state—or our country—in a war
which has not been acted upon by
the Congress as clearly provided
for in the U.S. Constitution,” the
statement said.

Problems with Union Lettuce and
Illegal Parking Discussed

by Howard Mahler

An issue of national prominence
has made itself felt on the Albany
campus. President Benezet ex-
plained the problems in attempt-
ing to procure only Ceasar
Chavez's Union picked lettuce.

The lettuce, bearing the union’s
symbol of a black eagle, costs
approximately fifty cents to one
dollar more per case than does
other lettuce. While on the surface
this appears to be a negligible
amount, the university consumes
some fifteen hundred cases of
lettuce a year, and the purchasing
of more expensive lettuce could
ultimately affect board rates.

In addition, according to FSA
which looked into this issue, the
black eagle lettuce is difficult to
obtain. A conflict has arisen be-
tween Chavez’s union and the
teamsters union because the latter
are trying to unionize other farm
workers under their union’s aus-
pices. It is the teamsters that
transport the lettuce to the uni-
versity’s Albany supplier and they
have in some instances, allowed
the lettuce to spoil rather than
transporting it as they should.

Benezet acknowledged the mul-
titude of problems centering
about the lettuce issue and stated
that the university was in sym-
pathy with Chavez’s union.

Benezet commented on what
had been termed an unusually
large number of EOP students
that had been academically dis-
missed after last semester. He said
that the number was not as large
as many thought since many of
the students who had been no-
tified that their registration had
been terminated had appealed the
decisions or had made up work,
and had been reinstated. Only 46

out of the original 110 EOP stu-
dents that had been notified were
actually dismissed. Benezet went
on to say that the program is still
experimental and is doing what he
termed ‘“‘a remarkable good job.”

Parking complaints were in the
forefront of the President's bi-
weekly Campus Forum once
again. What appeared to have been
a sudden crackdown on. illegal
parking was the disputed issue this
week. Three hundred and seventy
nine tickets were issued over last
weekend in comparison to a usual
weekend average of some fifty
tickets. James Williams, security
director, denied that he had order-
ed a crackdown, and went on to
express the opinion that the poor
weather conditions over the week-
end had probably prompted many
more students to park up by the
dorms.

Parking of the quadrangles was
termed a very serious problem.
Williams stated that the campus
averages 3 to 4 fires a month, and

the congestion caused by the ille-
gally parked cars in the fire lanes
is a definite fire hazard. While
Parking in the fire lanes violates state
fire laws, Williams stated that it
was not the state that was com-
plaining about the congestion, but
rather the Albany Fire Chief him-
self. He has refused to take his
equipment through the fire lanes
when they are heavily congested.

When questioned as to why ille-
gal parking on the quads seems to
have increased this year, Williams
Pointed to the fact that there are
1500 more cars registered on cam-
pus this year.

No immediate solution to this
dangerous problem has been
worked out. Ticketing and towing
of cars will continue, Possible
solutions mentioned were the
building of multi-leveled parking
structures, or the institution of
parking privilege fees. However,
none of these solutions are immi-
nent.

Filibuster on Filibuster Bill

by John Chadwick

WASHINGTON AP — Senators trying to make it
easier to choke off filibusters lost’ a first test vote

Thursday.

On a move to halt a Southern-led filibuster against
@ proposed change in Senate rules, the vote was 48

for and 37 against, or

9 short of the necessary

two-thirds majority of senators voting.

A second attempt is planned next week to cut off
the debate that began Jan. 26 on the Proposal to
permit filibusters to be halted by a three-fifths
majority of senators voting rather than the two-
thirds majority now required by the rules.

The Enemy Bookstore

To the Editor:

In your Febraury 15, 1971 issue of the ASP you
printed, “The manager of the bookstore, Robert
DiNovo, stands ready to assure any faculty member
that not one order has been cut this year, and will
not be cut in the future.” I wish Mr. DiNovo would
stand ready to assure any student that not one order
has been cut this year. In such a case, I would be
glad to call him a liar.

Over the past three and a half years I have learned
that the SUNYA bookstore is the students’ worst
enemy. I have been told not less than ten times (one
time this semester) that the bookstore was out of a
book I needed. I have resorted to buying them
elsewhere, borrowing them, waiting for them to
come in, and, in one case, dropping the course.

I am presently waiting for a book. When I first
went to buy it, I was told the bookstore ordered
twenty-two books. When I talked to my professor
about it, he said he ordered twenty-four. After a
count of how many people in the class didn’t have
the book, my prof found two people (including
myself) had been screwed by the bookstore. Now
you tell me, if 24 books were ordered by my
professor and 22 by the bookstore, how many
people should be short a book?

Since Mr. DiNovo did not cut one order this
semester, the only way to explain this is that Mr.
DiNovo does not know how to count. Maybe he
thinks if you take two away from twenty-four, you
still have twenty-four. One thing that I’m sure of is
that he’s trying to con the faculty of SUNYA.
PROFESSORS BEWARE!!

Eugene Myers

Misconceptions

To the Editor:

I am writing this letter in reference to the “Where
is Racism Going?” an article which appeared in the
Feb.12 issue of the ASP.

In this article Michael Lippman stated that every-
one is a racist. Perhaps this true. Throughout his
article he made a great deal of smart remarks about
black students on the S.U.N.Y.A. campus, stereo-
typing everyone.

His article implied how the average white student
feels about the black student. Personally I could
care less how the average white student feels about
me. Because I could take you or leave you. I could
have better things to do than to worry about how
you dress.

Incidentally, I can write an entire article making
false accusations against Whites as did Michael
toward Blacks. I refuse to play up to his ignorance. I
realize that his aricle was a product of his stupidity.

He shows that the white students are strangling in
their superiofity complex, to such a degree where
their emotions are affected, and they are hurt. In
other words the white students are saying that
Blacks have no right to have money, and dress nice
at least. not toout do any white person. I think that
is rather ridiculo ., don’t you?

What the article was trying to say is that we are
getting everything free. There are a great deal of
white students on E.O.P., but they don’t make it
known. They only appear on days when money is
being handed out. How come they do not dress
nice?

As a matter of fact there are very few students on

this campus paying their entire way through school.
Michael himself pointed out to me that he is getting
money from the Regents Exam Board of New York
State, just as I am. I would like for all of you who
feel that way to know my parents are helping to
send you through school because they are tax
payers.

So never think for a minute we are getting
anything free because you are getting the same
thing. If our gains, and accomplishments hurt you I
hope it kills you. Think about it!!!

Gerry Russell

Not a Racist

To the Editor:

In her column, “White Students: Insensitive and
Blind,” Miss Griffith raises some interesting ques-
tions. She says, “...you (whites) have the nerve to
want to rob them (Blacks) of their few requests. Are
you some greedy child that must have an equal
share of everything?

I personally think the “child” is really unneces-
sary, since being a greedy adult is just as despicable
if not more so. However, is wanting an equal share
greedy? If so, then the whole concept of “equality”
as being righteous and just must come under close
scrutiny. It might not be just at all, only greedy! If
so, then all these years, while I thought the Blacks
were crying out for justice, they were only guilty of
greed, albeit the same greed we whites have been
guilty of all along, but greed none the less.

And what of those “few requests.” ”...( Andl if we
request you to serve us, it’s your obligation....,” is
one of them. Miss Griffith, if not : explicitly, then
certainly ii raises the question, why
“can’t you accept the change? That is, since the
Black man has been exploited by, and subservient to
the whites for four centuries, why can’t you accept
a reversal of roles?

I do not believe Miss Griffith’s contention that
because I am white, I am therefore rascist;. (Post ho
ergo propter hoc). However, if Miss Griffith truly
believes what she writes, then perhaps in her
attempt to be facetious, she may have inadvertently
answered her own questions in her very last para-
graph.

Respectfully,
Fred Neil Peck

Beauty in the Mind

To the Editor:

That blatant racism is indeed still alive can be
clearly seen in Margaret Griffith’s column in the
Feb. 15 ASP. Her statement that it is “quite obvious
that the stigma of Blacks being shiftless, lazy, and
dirty has just been a means of projecting your
innate qualities” is characteristic of the ugly slurs so
often heard from the mouths of white racists.

By suggesting that you can perceive an individual’s
qualities and habits from his outward appearance,
Miss Griffith accepts the tenet by which white
racists establish that individuals having black skin
are inferior. Her tendency to generalize is danger-
ous. Racism thrives on such stereotypes.

Of course, any really beautiful aspect of a person
is found in his mind, not in his physical appearance.
We can see very little beauty in the mind of
Margaret Griffith. But then, she probably doesn’t
give a damn about what we think.

Comment

Keep the Draft

There are few subjects more discussed and put down in modern
America than the Draft. The length to which it has gone is
exemplefied by Laird’s prediction of a volunteer army by 1973. If
Nixon will go along with phasing out the draft, then the Pentagon
must have no objection.

And yet, there are any number of objections to a vlounteer
army. Throughout history, it’s been mercenary (volunteer) armies
which toppled governments. Most veterans share a universal
dislike of “lifer” types—can you imagine an army of them? In a
strictly volunteer army, where all vie for a better-paid higher
status, would the My Lai massacre ever have been discovered?

The influx of reluctant, but moral, young draftees are what
keeps the army human—at least that part of the army charged with
carrying out orders. The army would become a strange cross-
section of America: a patriotic, conservative officer class and a
largely-black population of enlisted men.

The professional warrior was the mark of the past; will he also
be the emblem of the most advanced nation on earth? Certainly
there will be little objection: the young men will, for the most
part, feel very relieved, and the Pentagon will have a more costly,
more reliable, more obedient tool. Only America will lose.

Mike Lippman Replies

I believe I can clear up all charges of cowardice,
liberalism, racism and ignorance very simply. My
article on racism has been wildly misunderstood. It
was not an aritcle stating my thoughts on the black
situation at SUNY; the black situation is something
I am not qualified to write about. It was my opinion
of a white mood existing on campus, the mood that I
believe a majority of whites share, one of fear and
ignorance of the new black image. The quotations
were not mine and I do not agree with the opinions
expressed in them-they were included to convey
openly feelings which are expressed only in racially
unmixed circles.

T expected to get alot of shit from the article-I was
so sure it would come from whites angry at being
placed on the defensive that I couldn’t forsee it
would be misread as a personal diatribe against
blacks.

For those who couldn’t reach me by phone, I
moved this semester and my new number is
457-8815.

The following are excerpts of the Scranton Commission Report
on Campus Unrest, in particular, Hobart College and incidents
related to an untrained undercover agent Thomas Tongyai.

investigation, will be printed on Monday.

THE NIGHT OF JUNE 5

On the morning of June 5 at 12:30 a.m. members
of the Ontario County Sheriffs Department came
onto the Hobart campus to make arrests for
narcotics possession on information provided by
Thomas Tongyai. In the process of the arrests two
other students were picked up on harassment
charges, one who yelled, “Bust,” and the other for
yelling, “Pig,” at Tommy. During the apprehension
of these five students, no person offered resistance
or attempted obstruction of the officers. College
officials had not been notified in advance of the
warrants and the arresting officers appeared on
campus out of uniform and in unmarked cars.

Word spread quickly throughout the dormitory
complex, which houses 300 students that “Tommy
the Traveler” was an undercover agent working with
the police and that some students had been ar-

rested by him. Students began to gather immed-
jately in the dorm parking lot where the sheriff’s
cars were parked. They surrounded one car con-
taining Detective William Simon, Tommy and two
students arrested on harassment. Within ten minutes
Dean of Hobart College R.O. McKean arrived on the
scene and assessed the situation as calm and
non-violent. He sought information from the
Geneva Police Chief Thomas McLaughlin as to
whom was in charge and the Chief responded, “It’s
not my operation.”

McKean spoke with both Detective Simon and
other law enforcement officers on the scene, as well
as with several students. He determined that stud-
ents were upset, not because there had been a
narcotics raid, but because Tommy the Traveler, an
adamant advocate of violence against agencies of the
United States government, had been working with
the sheriff's department. In addition, students could
not understand why Tommy had not been arrested
on harassment charges. One month earlier Tongyai
had threatened the life of Raphael Martinez, a
Hobart student. A warrant for Tongyai’s arrest was s
issued at that time. The. students wanted an ex-
planation and they were not going to leave the scene
until these points were clarified.

Dean McKean spoke with Detective Simon asking
if the students could be released on his recognizance
in order to alleviate the situation and disperse the
crowd. Subsequently, the students were released,
leaving Tommy and Simon alone in the car.Fol-
lowing this the crowd still did not disperse, as the
other issue of Tommy’s arrest on the May 6
harassment warrant had not been resolved. It should
be noted that at no time did any of the peace
officers on the scene request, order or act in sucha
manner to disperse the crowd.

Simon put in a call on his radio to have Tommy

PART II

arrested and 45 minutes later uniformed officers
arrived with the warrant. However, it was unclear
how to get Tommy out of the area, as the sheriff's
car had been immobilized by the students sur-
rounding it. At this point several dozen Geneva
police in riot gear were assembling about a block
away on St. Clair Street. Dean McKean spotted
Sheriff Morrow near the riot squad and asked for
what purpose these men had been called out.
Morrow replied in order to get his man (Tommy)
out.

McKean suggested a violent confrontation was
unncessary and requested that the sheriff, some
students and other college officials now present,
discuss an alternative means. The Dean and stud-
ents, including Sean Campbell, Bruce Davis and
Raphael Martinez, walked among the students ask-
ing them to remain peaceful. Several students and
McKean addressed the crowd from the hood and the
roof of the car containing Tommy and Simon,
telling them the situation was under control and
reiterating the necessity for everyone to maintain
their “cool.” It is clear that violence and bloodshed
was anticipated by the sheriff's department and the
presence of riot police complicated the situation.
Students still remained peaceful and Simon was able
to leave his vehicle and walk freely among the
crowd.

Police, students and college officials gathered in a
series of meetings in the head resident advisor’s
room in a nearby dorm and students proposed the
idea of total amnesty for all the students arrested
that night in exchange for Tommy’s arrest on the
May 6 harassment charge. This was eventually
agreed to by all as the best means of avoiding a
violent situation and a written agreement was
worked out and signed by Anthony L. Cecere, Chief
County Detective, Ontario County, and witnessed
by Hobart President B.D. Causey and Dean McKean
to drop all charges. The announcement was made to
the crowd. Tommy was removed from the scene by
another patrol car without difficulty and the crowd
was dispersed at approximately 5 a.m.

AFTERMATH OF JUNE 5

The June 5 incident at Hobart received national
press coverage and the public exposure of Tommy
as undercover law enforcement officer, closely
associated with subversive, violent activities, placed
many Geneva officials in an uncomfortable, almost
scandalous position. In the midst of CBS and NBC
interviewing students about Tommy’s role on cam-
pus vis a vis the ROTC firebombing and the outcry

NOW): ER— AHEM —VH — ON
SMASHING THOSE
PIGS,

of Geneva citizens embarrassed by all the publicity,
six days later, on June 11 the police issued warrants
for seven persons (six students and one Hobart
faculty member), charging them with obstructing
governmental procedure and riot in the second
degree, in connection with the June 5 disturbance
on the Hobart campus.

There are certain highly irregular and unusual
circumstances surrounding the arrests and treatment
of Sean Campbell, Raphael Martinez and Bruce
Davis on June 11.

The Hobart Student Council Treasusrer, Tim
Yolen, was given the run-a-round from Geneva to
Canadaigua and back in his efforts to post the
unusually high bail of $6,000 for the students, and
the whole ordeal of Campbell, Davis and Martinez
being transferred from the Geneva jail to the
Canadaigua jail by a patrol car traveling at speeds in
excess of 90 m.p.h. is at the very least questionable
as to its purpose and necessity. While Campbell,

Davis and Martinez were having their hair cut ana
faces shaved in jail, a police officer stood next to
them, threatening them that they were “going to get
a bullet between the eyes” if they “acted up.” The
students arrested were offered no food of any kind,
even though they were in jail during the noon hour
when meals are fed to all other prisoners.

JUNE 14—-HOBART’S COMMENCEMENT
AND CITIZENS’ DEMONSTRATIONS

On June 10, American Legion members and a
number of Geneva citizens began actively organizing
an anti-Hobart demonstration to coincide with the
college’s commencement exercises. Area news media
gave extensive details of the time, place and purpose
of the march. Efforts by the college to prevent the
protest were fruitless and during the graduation
ceremony. hundreds of townspeople walked within
75 yards of the proceedings shouting, “Clean it up
or close it down,” accompanied by a barrage of car
horn honking. There are some indications that
although police did calm and control the raucous
Procession, they were also involved in its organ-
ization and did not restrain the crowd as much as
possible.

JULY 29

Tongyai was found innocent of the harassment
charges of May 6, at which time he threatened the
life of Raphael Martinez and struck a blow to his
shoulder.

JULY 31

Tongyai was arrested and charged with filing false
affidavits in order to secure unemployment insur-
ance, while employed as an undercover narcotics
agent for the Ontario County Sheriff. He was
released in the afternoon on $1,000.00 bail.

“SPEC” FOWLER: A PIECE OF HIS MIND

by Dennis Whitehead photos by Rich Alverson

Barnett “Spec” Fowler of Niskayuna, New York, is a large man
who looks (but does not act) somewhat older than his 56 years.
He has been a newspaperman for 42 years, including 10 years
covering police beats; he was the Times-Union: City and Sunday
Editor before He; turned to writing “Compass Points of Capi-
taland” some 4% years ago. Mr. Fowler has of late written
prolifically about SUNYA and its students, and in order to find
out what makes Spec tick the ASP interviewed him in a
three-hour session on February 10 at his newspaper’s offices in

Colonie.

Spec trundled out and greeted us with a smile. We used
psychology on him and smiled back, then threw him off-balance
temporarily by not immediately scribbling obscenities on the
walls. (We did that on the way out.) Seated in the conference
room, he told us of his childhood in Rotterdam and of his
week-long camping trips to Lake George. He was known as a
“vabble-rouser”’ in Schenectady, a reputation which has certainly
not deserted him.

Detractors have called him the “Voice of Morality,” “Town
Scold,” and “Jesus Christ, Jr.” “Most people think of me as a son
of a bitch or not; my own opinion is somewhere in between.” His
many years as a police reporter have molded a personal
philosophy which “balances annoyance with a sense of humor.”
He says he is “reasonably tolerant,” but abhors brutality.

We asked him when he first started writing about Albany State.
“I wrote my first article on SUNY about a year and a half ago,
when I was enormously intrigued by that cartoon showing a
professor defecating into a funnel.” Reminding us again of his
reasonable tolerance, he confessed that the ASP of the last few
years “disturbed” him.

“A Newspaper’s Got to Have Guts.”

“Ym not shocked by a four-letter word, but we're concerned
with the question of a standard, not of conduct, but of printing.
We underestimate the actual power of a newspaper. There ain’t a
hell of a lot of sense in a newspaper existing unless it’s put to
reasonably good use. The paper last year was becoming too
damned occupied with biological functions—feces and other
certain enjoyable acts.” (A sly wink here.)

Asked about the present ASB Fowler had some kind words,
declaring that in his opinion the paper has “improved in quality.
Your paper now is better because it shows more balance, as is seen
by the recent ‘Crime on Campus’ editorial. Too many people
today are regimented into the same kind of thinking; because a
campus may be liberal is no reason for the paper to be so. A
newspaper has got to have guts. Guts is the theme of everything
that I write.”

Spec says he has read the Albany Eagle, which he has
contributed to financially and has referred to in past columns as
“the voice of sanity” on the SUNYA campus. He has also read
Sweet Fire: “I was particularly fascinated by their description of
the narco squad.”

“Did Barnett Fowler ever advocate suppression of the ASP?
“You bet I did! And I'll do it again if necessary.” This we found
to be interesting, as Spec never went to college and admitted that
the ASP is aimed at a fairly specific audience which is not as easily
offended as the readers of the Times-Union. We asked what thus
gave him the right to call for the suppression of a publication
which is funded in no way (‘“Thank God!””) by his tax money.

“Unless you hate adults, what’s wrong with taking an experienced

adult and asking his advice?”

“J don’t care if they say ‘Fuck Barney Fowler.’ ”

“Be a ‘Self-Gooser’ ”

“I don’t like oversupervision, this is for the birds, but somebody
should have stepped in two or three years agowhen the ASP got
out of hand. I called it a campus rag, and very cheerfully so.
Unless you hate adults, what’s wrong with taking an experienced
adult and asking his advice? You've got to be a ‘self-gooser’ - the
competition is between mediocrity and excellence. In your case,
with no administration interference or faculty advising, it’s got to
come from within yourselves.

“I used to teach journalism at Siena, and as technical advisor to
their paper I gave those guys every conceivable kind of free rein,
within reason. I once ordered a Father from the classroom for
trying to take over a discussion.

“I do not believe it is sensible to emasculate security guards
by not even giving them a slingshot.”

Code of Ethics

“But the SUNY system should have a code of ethics, or if it’s
got one it should have a stricter code of ethics, Ido think one of
the functions of college is to teach a set of standards. An
intelligent person should be able to understand a set of ethics. Not
morals, but ethics - a code that empowers the administration to
order forthwith the elimination of a campus paper that does not
meet certain standards. In my opinion, a newspaper which is
preoccupied with the bowels is not a student newspaper. It would
be logical for such a code to exist, and violation should call for
the suppression of a newspaper or for immediate expulsion of a
student. Every damn move you make in society is based on a code
of ethics, and that code is the law.”

The “Voice of Morality” has indeed had previous experience in
drawing up and enforcing codes of behavior for others. The
Supreme Court once appointed him custodian of a Schenectady
whore-house for a year. He smiles at the memory of those great
bygone days. “Yes, I closed it.” Listen to Spec talk and you know
that the whore-house didn’t stand a chance.

Fowler admits that his columns and WGY radio broadcasts are
opinionated, but feels that a column should provide equal space
for opposing replies: this gives balance to a newspaper.

We asked if he thought his column was balanced regarding
Albany State students; i.e., does he ever write anything good
about them? He replied, after a pause, “Yes, I do...” Spec’s
memory, however, could unearth only one such instance, when he
wrote about the environmental project of a SUNY student in
Clifton Park.
AY, FEBRUARY 19, 1971

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

We asked, is this what he calls balance? “About 90% of my work
on the police beat dealt with criminals. I never felt it necessary to
explain that most people are not entangled with the law. Must I
write about the good student who doesn’t smoke or drink and
who studies his non-dirty books?” Although he estimates that
95% of the SUNYA student body are “solid citizens,” he asks
“What can I write about the good student?”

“You're Too Easily Shocked”

We got around to Sayles Hall. Spec could hardly sit still when
we mentioned it. “The crux of the matter was not the defacement
of several hundred square feet of wall; I could care less! It’s not
the harmless graffiti, but the fact that the activities of a few
influence the majority. I don’t care if they say ‘Fuck Barney
Fowler,’ but here a small minority forced their own form of art
upon the majority who have to pay for it.” We told him that some
of the defacers have turned themselves in, “I admire that: It takes
guts to do it.”

Concerning his entry into Sayles, he shrugs it off with a chuckle.
“You're too easily shocked. I don’t think any individual who
keeps his room clean should mind me coming into a room I
consider a pigsty in order to raise the standards of the dorm. I
think the slobs should be put in one or two dorms of their own.”

What gives him the right to play the role of Mr. Clean? “As a
reporter I have the right to enter any state institution.” Would he
enter private apartments in government-owned housing projects?
“If there were reason to believe that certain conditions existed
that were not in keeping with proper standards of living, I think a
reporter who could not get permission from the Housing
Authority would be remiss in his duty if he didn’t go in there. I'll
make every damned effort I can - within reason - to get in and
observe. This is my job, this is what I’ve done all my life.” Would
Barnett Fowler, private citizen, be upset if he rented a motel
room and some reporter, thinking something was amiss, broke in?
“1 would expect it.”

At length, Fowler conceded that going into a private room
“might have the effect of irritating someone. But I challenge
anyone to bring charges. Find something in SUNY law; I'll plead
innocent and I'll be willing to take the consequences.”

Campus Cops and Robbers

Should Security Police be armed? “Yes!” With what? “With
guns! I do not believe it is sensible to emasculate security guards
by not even giving them a slingshot.”

Spec feels this ballistic disembowelment is the fault of the
administration. “They should stop playing cops and robbers on
campus. I don’t think SUNY has leadership; it is being run mostly
by students and not by the administration. A good segment of
students are out of control at Albany State. Permissiveness has
grown to the point where it has become a Frankenstein on the
campus. I believe that for every action there is a reaction. I believe
that someone who defaces or destroys not only should get
punished, but deserves it.”

Spec mentioned a letter he received from SUNYA Public
Relations Director David Van Dyke stating that_over $5000
damage was done the physical plant in the 1970 Fall Semester.
“Why can’t we nail the bastards who did this?” Would he expel all
defacers caught? “I advocate a demerit system. Let the consistent
offenders be thrown out of college where they can get a few
boots in the ass, For example, those who defaced Sayles the
second time should be expelled. They have demonstrated a spirit
of rebellion which is unhealthy for the student body.”

On Marijuana

“The smell of it turns my stomach,” snorted Spec as he lit up
another butt. “But the penalties for users are excessive. The most
brutal thing is to bust a weak-willed individual for experimenting
with the stuff. If I were convicted for everything I did- once, for
the first time - I’d be a shattered man. I feel that a man’s record
should have a certain number of convictions before publicity.”

Has he tried marijuana? “I don’t have to put my hand in the fire
to know it’s hot. But if a man wants to commit suicide, let him.”
Does Spec drink? “You bet! But I'd be the first to say that our
booze standards are not strict enough either.”

On Censorship
urrent novelists are preoccupied with perversion, but I

do believe in censorship in certain instances, as in a book I read
recently on growing and packaging marijuana. It had all the thrill

“I wish you would point out that I do not feel the majority of students are
vagrants, bums...”

.

of informing you how to get syphilis, how to perpetuate it, but
not how to cure it.”

On Vulgarity

“T have never used ‘fuck’ or ‘shit’ in front of a public audience, I
have never told a dirty joke to an audience in my life, and I spoke
to 155 of them in 1970.” He feels that the ASP could ‘offer a
certain amount of column space for those whose “minds are in the
gutter,” but this should not be the rule. ‘‘There’s no substitute for
‘hell,’ but there is a substitute for ‘fuck.’ ”

On the Spring Strike

“I think it was totally unnecessary. There’s a thousand other
ways other than staying out of classes, which is the whole purpose
of the university. And what the hell good is a march on the New
York State Capitol going to do anybody? It’s a fun thing, it’s an
outlet for emotions; but what good is it?”

Would Barnett Fowler let a daughter of his come to Albany
state and live on campus? “Oh, I think so, because if she failed in
my expectations it would be my fault and her mother’s.” Spec
told us that his son wanted to study forestry at Paul Smith's
College in Saranac Lake but was drafted and sent to Europe; he is
nowmarried and has children.

The Columnist and the Students

Fowler has referred to SUNYA as “Dirty Doodleland” and
“Baffleville, U.S.A.” Although he believes that most students are
good people, does he think his readers can get an accurate picture
of the university students from these descriptions? “I want people
to think about SUNY. I want to - both as an individaul and as a
newspaperman - impress upon the public that certain things are
going on at the campus which should not be going on. This is a
technique of writing - you use certain phraseology to bring home
a point.”

The hour was late and we prepared to leave - somewhat

reluctantly, as the session had been quite lively. Spec stopped us:
“You guys have managed to disturb me about something. I wish
you would point out that I do not feel the majority of students
are vagrants, bums, criminals, or Michelangelos of the wall.
Whenever I mention a ‘student,’ It is not all-encompassing. I do
think the majority are solid citizens.”
_ After shaking hands and saying good-by we proceeded to
investigate the men’s room in the building for evidences of graffiti
on the walls. The room was newly painted. You gotta hand it to
Spec: he was ready for us.

School of Nursing:
Stresses Variety

by Walter Keller

Established in September, 1967, the School of
Nursing has received little publicity. The school is a
regular departmental program, leading to a Bachelor
of Science degree in nursing. As in any other
departmental program, students enter the program
immediately upon being accepted to Albany.

The idea of establishing a school of nursing at
‘Albany stemmed from a study made by nurses in
the area, showing that a school of this nature was
sorely needed. Consequently, Albany State was
selected.

‘The curriculum consists of 120 semester hours,
spread out over a four-year period. This is composed
of 54 credits in Nursing, as prescribed by the school,
3 credits in Communication, 25-27 in Science and
Math, 21 credits in the Social Sciences and Human-
ities, and 15-17 elective credits. Thus a nursing
major builds a strong and varied background, which
she can later relate to her role as a nurse.

‘A great deal of a nurse’s instruction is in clinical
work, which begins in the sophomore year. This
consists of experience in regular hospitals and
institutions in the area, St. Peter’s and Child’s
Hospitals to name two. Instructors accompany the
students and combine lecture material with first
hand experience in patient care and assessment. The
program follows a pattern in which more clinical
work is done each year, with fewer non-nursing
courses.

According to Dr. Major, Dean of the School of
Nursing, there are about a hundred students now

enrolled in the program, with thirteen graduates
expected in May. Looking to next year, approx-
imately 250 applications to the school have been
already received, a great increase over the past few
years. Dr. Major said that this was due to a new
admissions policy which allows applicants to state
their intention of entering the School of Nursing on
their regular college applications. At present all of
these people cannot possibly be accommodated,
however, until the extension of the West Podium.
At that time, possibly 350-400 students can be
handled.

Tomorrow?

Now every night on Mondays
and Wednesdays and Fridays, too,
the classrooms and hallways in the
Hunter College-Bellevue School of
Nursing rumble with the deep
resonant voices of student nurses
who sport a sprinkling of mus-
taches and goatees and bald heads
and who, in total, could be a
husky and muscular, if average,
football squad.

For these students are grown
men, almost 100 of them, engaged
in an innovative experiment with
two main goals:

—To help overcome. a critical,
nationwide shortage of nurses.

—To train policemen and fire-
men to become full-fledged regis-
tered nurses—RN’s—so they can
have second careers after they
retire as early as age 40, or later.

The program, an idea of Dr.
Joseph A. Cimino, began last Sep-
tember and involves 13 hours of
evening classes a week. The men
will take 2% years to complete it.

When he proposed to individual
firemen and policemen that they
become nurses, “their first reac-
tion was, ‘Ah, that’s just for
women.” =

But I argued that nursing is a
profession offering very interest-
ing challenges. Nurses are taking
on more responsibility in coron-
ary care and intensive care units,
for example. They are actually
practicing more medicine now.
There is more electronics in medi-
cine, and lots of opportunities for
interesting jobs in hospitals, and

usic Council will present the
Musical Celebration in the PAC
Recital Hall on Friday and Satur-
day, Feb. 26& 27, 1971. The
play, which ran on Broadway in
1969 is by Tom Jones and Harvey
Schmidt, authors of the Fantas-
ticks,and is directed by Michael
Reynolds.

‘The play is a parable of life and
death, a ritual performance com-
bined with elements of musical
comedy. It concerns the struggle
of young, optimistic, innocent Or-
phan, played by John Kearns, and
aged, materialistic, bitter Mr.
Rich, played by Bob Hebert, for
the dominaiton of Angel, an as-
piring young actress, played by
Kay ten Kraft.

Angel is torn between the mater-
ialistic beauty of “Being a Some-
body” and the absolute beauty of
Orphan’s idealistic dream world.
The struggle is narrated and co-
ordinated by a master of cere-
monies, Potemkin, played by
Michael Reynolds, and a group of
Revelers, a dancing chorus, who
also assist and comment on the
action.

Performances will be held at
8:30 p.m, on Friday, Feb. 26, and
at 2 pm. and 8:30 p.m. on
Saturday, Feb. 27. Tickets will be
sold in the PAC Box Office from
10 am. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb.
19 and from Feb. 22-26 and
before each performance. Ad?
mission is $1.00 with tax card,
and $3.00 to the General Public.

The production is funded by
Student Association Activity As-
sessment.

Miles Davis was a more than com-
petent musician when most of us
were little kids, and he’s gotten
better. He’s just freaked out along
with the rest of us (and the world
in general). Expect insanity. This
is an album that reflects the war
in Vietnam, the American cultur-
al split, the world situation...
without saying a word.

EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER
(cotillion, SD 9040). $4.98 (I
think); McDONALD & GILES
(Cotillion, SD 9042). $4.98 (I
think). A plus, for both records.
Welcome to Save the Best For
Last dept. It’s rave review time.
Emerson, Lake and Palmer, for-
merly of the Nice, King Crimson
and Atomic Rooster, respectively.
McDonald and Giles, both for-
merly of King Crimson, E,L&P are
experimenting with everything
from a Moog to a small chamber
orchestra to raga scales on the
organ. M&G play with such talent-
ed friends as Stevie Winwood. The
groups are similar. Their music is
interweaved, complex, back to the
earth, up to the stars, classical,
jazz, Pink Floyd, insane, beauti-
tul, King Crimson, Nice....but
mostly just plain nice . As I said in
my last consumer guide, I’m wri-
ting for those of you who are
considering the purchase of al-
bums, not so you can read about
albums you already own. If you
already have a record, a review
will be nothing when you can
have the music. If you like what I
like, (and you should know by
now), you can pretty much forget
records rated C or below. Listen
before you buy the records in the
B range; you may or may not
want them. However, run out and
serimp and save and cheat and lie
and do anything at all (almost) to
get your hands on A rated re-
cords. And if you can get just two
records from this list, by all
means, get these final two. They
both rate A plus.

At The Palace:
Williams and Supershow

by Bill Brina

The Palace is) sa vast
improvement, acoustically,
visually, and tactically , over the
gym or the Armory, and regular
jazz and rock concerts there
would be a welcome boon. The
‘spotty attendance, which the MC
seemed to imply was a sign that
Albany doesn’t want to support
such an effort, can be attributed
to the fact that tickets were una-
vailable. If N.S.P. can get tickets
to the outlets well in advance of
the shows they’ll sell-the BeeGees
didn’t because they’re not a draw.
No one’s heard from or seen them
in years, That’s typical. The
sound system, whichthe MC said
was the Lifetime’s and was
brought up from NYC didn’t
work wellfor Dreams and was

only slightly better for the Life-
time itself.

Dréams, a new jazz-rock ensem-
ble of the BST-Chicago mold from
NYC opened the show. Trumpeter
Randy Brecker was an original
BSTer and that influence shows.
The 8 piece ensemble (guitar,
bass, piano or organ, drums, trum-

pet, sax, trombone, singer-per-
cussionist) is vastly more promis-
ing, though. They swing the

rhythms are tight, infectious, and
free, and the interplay of instru-
ments, riff-trading, and soaring is
immensely enjoyable. The multi-
-percussion jamming that often
occurred would be dynamite in a
large, packed theater, but just
failed to catch fire in the small,
spread-out environs of the Palace.

The band’s weakness is their

Winter Wonderland
At Fillmore East

by Stephen Aminoff

The band, a rather tight band,
plays an absorbing two hour set at
New York’s major rock pit, the
Fillmore East. The performance
by this combination of rock and
country essences, called Hot
Tuna, is interesting and yet some-
what subdued.

The set ends and cries resound
from all corners of the concert
hall for more. The return to the
stage by the musicians is as
prompt as it is expected but onto
the stage walks a seventh musi-
cian, His face and eyes as snow
white as the electric strobe which
announces his presence. His long,
thin fingers cradle the guitar he
has made love to so many times in
so many ways. Johnny Winter is
here to jam.

What follows is rock and roll,
Winter’s presence uplifting the
spirits of all. Trying as hard as
possible to avoid the inevitability
of stealing the concert, he waits
for nods. from Hot Tuna guitarist
Jorma Kaukonen and proceeds to
bleed his incredible talent onto
guitar, through some alive, almost
effortless riffs. His union with

guitar now completed, the whole
audience is captivated by the
sound.

National Student Productions
has announced that if the Byrds
concert being held tonight at the
Palace Theater does not sell con-
siderably better than previous con-
certs, this will be their last pro-
duction of this semester. Poor
attendance in the last few weeks
may force cancellation of such
scheduled acts as Hot Tuna, Elton
John, Ten Years After and others.

Tickets for the Byrds will be
available up to the last minute at
the door. Shows will be at 7:30
and 11:30.

The Patroon Room
will be open
5:30-9:30 On
Saturday night.

SCHEDULED REHEARSALS

Thurs, Fri., Sat. Feb 18, 19,20 in the Ballroom

One interesting confrontation
takes. place between elder states-
man of the Chicago blues dens
Papa John Creach, an ineredible
electric violinist who opened
many eyes at the last Jefferson
Airplane concert here, and
Johnny, also no stranger here.

It was great to have these two
musicians, both of whom are
much older than most people
think, going at blues and rock
with the fervor of youth. They
could take a soft Hot Tuna crowd
to the heights of rock and take
the back just as easily.

Johnny Winter’s own musical
accompaniment has changed
somewhat over the years, but the
music is still unmistakable. The
night before the jam, Johnny did
a gig on Staten Island with his
own band called “Johnny Winter
And”, the “And” meaning Rick
and Jimmy Derringer and Randy
Z, all former members of the
McCoys(of “Hang on Sloopy” and
“Fever” fame).

These musicians whom Johnny
worked with extensively since his
most able sideman and brother,
Edgar Winter created his “Pure
Trash”, are a truly able comple-
ment to Johnny’s genius. The
guitar duels between Derringer
and Winter have become legend-
ary. Their only album together,
“Johnny Winter And” is an excel-
lent studio recording of the gutsy
show that can be seen live. More
interesting than that, it gives some
keen insight as to where these
musicians and maybe musicians in
general have their head at now.
The album flows beautifully
from “Am I Here”, soft meta-
physical journey to the fore-
boding tale set to the exciting
music of “Prodigal Son”. Johnny
wraps it up with his “Funky
Music”, as he tells you where his
“high” experience has come to be.
So catch him while you can,
“Goldilocks” is into good things.

material-mostly original, mostly
mediocre, if not worse. One num-
ber, ‘Farewell, Suzanne” is OK—
—nothing great but it is a fine
vehicle for what Dreams does, and
one blues number highlighting
fine harp and vocal work by the
lead singer and a BB King-style
solo by the guitarist should stay,
but the band would benefit
greatly if it junked the rest of its
material and picked up on some
of Laura Nyro’s, Nick Gravenits’s
and others’ music.

Then came the Tony Williams's
Lifetime-Tony Joe Williams on
drums, John McClaughlan electric
guitar, Jack Bruce electric bass,
and Larry Young (Yhalid Kassim)
electric organ. ‘Their music
reminds me of Miles’ (Tony was
Miles drummer) in both the brill-
iant perfection of the musicianship
with which it is performed and
the artistic vision which underlies
it. This is, simply, space music.

The Lifetime creates a
maelstrom in which Africian
rhythms, soaring guitar riffs, in-
credibly free, abstract bass
rumbles, and _ science-fiction
bleeps rise and fall. Each member
of the Lifetime is a master of his
instrument, and each member
merges gracefully in a glistening
musical whole.

The only jarring note of the
performance came when Jack
Bruce brieflyattempted, no doubt
to please the Cream fans, to sing.
Too much touring and too much
of the evil and infamous weed
have racked’ Jack’s voice past sal-
vation.

Lifetime is struggling to gain the
acceptance it needs to survive, and
Jack’s infrequent singing appeared
to be an attempt to throw a sop
to the audience. I don’t think
that’s what's: necessary; Lifetime
can gain the following it needs to
survive and prosper without, I
hope, that kind of commercializ-
ing. If not, that will speak reams
of the level of their audience.

And then (3AM) came Super-
Show! Arrgh! This hour and a half
porpourri had one saving grace; it
ought to introduce a lot of teeny-
boppers to Roland Kirk,who is
featured with his own band and in
jams with others in a London
club, where the whole mess was
filmed. When Roland departs,
however, the film dies.

The sound gave way several
times, thankfully, once, in the*
middle of Led Zeppelin doing
Dazed and Confused” and
massacring music as per usual.
Carol, my companion, whose

previous knowledge of Kirk con-
sisted of an exposure to the “Rah-
saan, Rahsaan” album (total in-
comprehension) went, more or
less,““Oh, that’s what he’s all
about!” Minus Kirk, Supershow is
a superdud.

Trudging uptown in the ‘wet at
4:15 in the morning was
alright, too. Downtown is almost
likeable when it’s deserted.

WITH MAX SHULMA:

(By the author of Rally Round the Flag, Boys ... Dobie ills. et.

ESP; or Extra-Sensory Pollution

Physicists tell us there are three basic forces at work in the uni-
verse: matter, energy and chopped liver.

But I, for one, am no longer satisfied with this narrow definition.
How do physicists classify ESP? Certainly it falls into none of these
categories, but just as certainly it exists. And not as a mere theory; ESP
is a proven, demonstrated fact.

For example, how many times have you walked into a place you
never saw before and yet recognized everything? How many times have
you known the eract words someone was going to say before he ever
said them? How many times have you been absolutely certain some-
thing was going to happen hundreds or even thousands of miles away
and, sure enough, it did?

Let me tell you about a case I am fortunately able to document.
Some years ago I went fishing with my dear friend Donald L. Fromkiss
at a virgin lake deep in the Canadian wilds. It was hellishly difficult to
get there, but we did not mind, for the moment we dropped our lines
we each caught a splendid crappie. Mine weighed just over-300 pounds.
Donald’s was somewhat smaller, but by far the friendlier.

Imagine my surprise then when, before we could throw our lines
back for another try, Donald suddenly leaped up and cried he’d had a
premonition that he must go home immediately. He could not tell me
why. He only knew that some one or some thing was calling him back
and he had to go at once. Apologizing profusely, he left me alone on
the lake and portaged to the nearest town (Moose Jaw, well over a
thousand miles, and poison sumac every inch), and there he chartered
a Ford Tri-Motor and flew home.

Well sir, at first he felt like an utter dolt. Everything was perfectly
normal at home. His wife Edith was quietly reading The Sensnous
Woman. His son Herschel was taking his daily glassblowing lesson.
His dog Trey was eating his leash.

‘And yet the premonition would not leave Donald. Carefully, he
went through the house, inch by inch, room by room, Sure enough,
when he got to the back hall he suddenly heard a faint whimpering
noise outside. He flang open the door. And there, by George, he saw
where the whimpering was coming from: someone had left a basket on
the back stoop! :

Well sir, who can blame Donald for crying a ery of joy and tri-
umph? What a find! A whimpering basket! That’s something you don’t
see every day, let me tell you!

And so today, as you know of course, Donald L. Fromkiss and
His Whimpering Basket is one of the highest paid acts in show busi-
ness. Next Sunday, in fact, he completes his 84th consecutive year on
Ed Sullivan.

As for me, I too was a beneficiary of Donald’s ESP, for when he
left me alone on the lake I figured I would get to drink all—not just
half—of the goodly supply of Miller High Life Beer we had brought
along, and as you know of course, Miller High Life is never so weleome
as it is on a tranquil sylvan lake while a flock of Canada geese darkens
the sky above. Of course, Miller isn’t bad in a noisy bar either while a
flock of American coeds darkens the jukebox. For that matter, it’s even
great in the dorm while your cruddy roommate darkens the tub.

But as it happened, I never did get to drink all our Miller High
Life because I forgot how well sound travels across a sylvan lake. No
sooner did I pop my first can of Miller when—lo and behold!—ten
Mounties galloped out of the forest singing selections from Rose Marie!
Of course, I shared my Miller with them, and gladly, because I know
it’s hard being a Mountie, especially if you're an alto. And so by the
time they polished off my Miller and said adieu, we were all fast friends.
One of them, in fact, let me slide down his hat.

* * *

We, the brewers of Miller High Life Beer and the sponsors of this col-
umn, are like the Mounties in one respect: we too always get our man—
that is, if our man wants a beer that always makes it right— Miller High
Life, the Champagne of Beers!

Spring Sports
Face New Sched

to the cold weather.

by Lawrence H. Pohl

“The effects of the shortened
calendar year on the spring sports
season will be minimal.” This is
the statement received from
Coach Joe Garcia, assistant direct-
or of athleties, in an interivew to
the ASP Friday.

Although no serious problems
are expected to arise, Mr. Garcia
did cite several possible repercus-
sions due to the change.

“The only possivle conflict I see,
as far as the SUNY conference is
concerned, will be with varsity
tennis,”said Coach Garcia. The
tennis finals in the conference are
at the same time as final exams.

Garcia also noted that extra
funds will be needed for room and
board on campus for participants
in post season tournaments. In
fact, the NCAA track tournament
is not until early June. This brings
up the problem, if our athletes
should qualify, of keeping training
and fitness at a competitive peak
for a month or so.

Coach Garcia went on to say
that besides starting a week or so
earlier, the shortened season will
have little effect.

“We did have to crowd things a
little but the kids know this and I
don’t think it will present a prob-
lem.”

The new calendar also concerns
Track Coach Bob Munsey and
Tennis Coach Merlin Hathaway.
Munsey expressed concern as to
the number of injuries which may
be suffered early in the season due

Because of the Wed-
.-Sat.-Wed. Sat. sequence of
meets, Coach Munsey fears some
of the injuries won’t have the
proper time to heal.

“Times are going

added Munsey.

Coach Hathaway’s main concern
was that with the crowded sched-
ule as it is this spring, “the boys’
first time outside will probably be
in competition.” Finding
adequate indoor facilities will be a
continued problem.

Both Garcia and Munsey men-
tioned the possibility of southern
trips to avoid the early cold
weather meets.

“In order for such trips to take
place”, Garcia noted, we have to
get money from the Athletic
Board, fund raising projects, and
cooperating schools, in addition
to contributions from students
and players, to make up the bal-
ance.”

With next year’s calendar adding
one additional week, Garcia feels
that whatever small problems
might arise this year will certainly
disappear next year.

It is the general concensus then
that this year’s shortened calendar
will not effect, to any great ex-
tent, the spring sports season here
at Albany State. Coach Garcia
ended the interview by saying that
he would bring more information
back from the ECAC conference
to be held this week in New York
City.

to suffer,”

The Albany State Great Danes
remained in contention for a
post-season tournament bid with a
strong 77-58 victory over South-
ern Connecticut State College last
Wednesday night. The win was
State’s seventh in a row, and
upped the team’s overall record to
14-5.

The game began on an ominous
note for Albany as forward Alan
Reid picked up two quick fouls
within the first four minutes. The
visiting Owls dominated play in
ithe early going until Albany took
the lead on a three point play by
Jack Jordan with 10:22 left in the
half.

State then went on to open a
five point spread, but that was
quickly erased by Southern
Connecticut’s pressing defense
which led to three quick baskets
at the end of the first half to put
the Owls in front, 34-27.

The Danes played their best
basketball after intermission.
They whittled down Southern
Connecticut’s lead on baskets by
Jim Masterson and Reid, and then
took the lead with 14:50 remain-
ing in the half on a field goal by
John Quattrochi. Quattrochi put
on one of the fines shows seen in
the Albany gym since the days of
Rich Margison as he tallied 17
points in the second half and 24
for the game, on an assortment of
driving layups and one-handers.
Along with Masterson and Dave
Welchons, he broke the Owls’
bothersome press which had
caused fourteen turnovers in the
first half.

The Danes went ahead for good
with 14:14 left in the game on a
field goal by Jordan. They
stretched it to twelve points with
seven minutes remaining, but the
Owls promptly poured in seven
quick points to trail, 63-58, with
2:45 showing on the clock. Those
were the last points the visitors
were to score as Albany went on a
14-0 tear to wrap up the 77-58
victory. Quite appropriately, the
final basket was scored by
Quattrochi, his tenth hoop from
the field of thirteen attempts.

The Danes also received fine,
double-figure performances from
Jordan with 12 points, Reid with
eleven, and Masterson and Steve
Sheehan with ten points apiece.

Frosh Win, 80-78

Troy Moss led the Freshman
Basketball Team with 30 points
Wednesday night as the Frosh
took a thriller from Hartwick Col-
lege 80-78.

The visitors held a slight edge,
31-26, at the 5:50 mark in the
first half despite Troy Moss’ ac-
curate bombing from every con-
ceivable spot on the court. Coach
Lewis then switched to a zone
defense and Hartwick immediate-
ly threw the ball away five consecu-
tive times and seven out of nine
times up the floor against the
zoné. Albany swamped Hartwick
18-4 in these last 5:50, and riding
on the heels of an incredibly
impervious defense and an inered-
ibly hot Troy Moss, the Frosh led
at halftime, 44-35.

The second half saw Hartwick
adjust to the Albany zone, Albany
go back to the man to man, and
the score changed hands repeat-
edly. With 2:30 left to go, the
Dane Pups led by nine, 75-66, and
at 1:03, by five, 77-72. And then
the wild last minute went some-
thing like this: A Hartwick player
sunk a jump shot and was fouled
in the act, making it 77-74. He
missed the foul shot. Reggie Smith
pulled down the rebound but
John O’Brychi was called for
pushing underneath. That was five
for him, so Harold France came in

for O’Brychi. Hartwick missed the

MARRYING MAIDEN It’s a
Beautiful Day (Columbia CS
1058)

The violin has become an inte-
gral part of rock music recently
with the recordings of Sugarcane
Harris, Papa John, Doug Kershaw,
among others, helping to popular-
ize the instrument. David
Laflamme, the leader of IT’S A
BEAUTIFUL DAY, a San Fran-
cisco band, is one of the more
intriguing violin players as well as
being an evocative songwriter and
a mellow singer.

The group’s second album “Mar-
rying Maiden” ranges from the
syrupy Bosa Nova sound of “Let a
Woman Flow” to the happy,
stomping country “Hoedown” to
the 1890’s good time sound of “It
Comes Right Down to You.

Unlike their first album, “Marry-
ing Maiden” contains no real
stand out cuts. The only song that
could compare to “White Bird” or
“Girl With No Eyes” or “Hot
Summer Day” is Laflamme’s ver-
sion of Fred Neil’s “The Dol-
phins.” Laflamme is no longer the
dominating figure he was, proba-
bly on his own will.

This album is definitely a let-
down after a great premiere al-
bum. If the group could achieve
more consistency at guitar and
keyboards to compliment La-
flamme’s vocals and violin work
and the strong back-up vocals of
Pattie Santos, they could become
a powerful group. I look forward
to their next album, but as of now
they are on probation.

Dallas County (Enterprise ENT-
-1011) appears to be a group to be
listened to and reckoned with.

The performers are, for the most
part top notch and the arrangers,
especially Jay Pruitt, are able to
write varying charts bringing out
trumpet voicings particularly well.
Compare the more reserved trum-
pets in “Roads” to the more
brassy sound in “The Toll.” The
arrangements fit more aptly to the
body of the songs than do those
of the Blood Sweat & Tears
(Dallas’ inspiration) and the result
is less contrivance and more soul.

Jaramillo is an excellent vocalist
with a deep, powerful voice, who
can really project. Ramsey Horton
has a nice solo on “The Toll,” but
his combing as well as that of
guitarist Ken Pugh needs work.

This is a very exciting album and
group. At the moment they are a
little too derivative (lots of BS&T
and a smidgeon of Maynard Ferg-
uson). Should they acquire a
group identity they have quite a
future in store for them.

BEEK

by Tom Quigley

The reported death of the old
Hollywood star system is totally
unfounded. It is always reassuring
to see older stars playing in
modern cinema but unfortunately
many of these ikons of the 40’s
and 50’s are relegated to roles as
father figures, mother types, or
kindly elders.

THERE WAS A CROOKED
MAN offers a bonanza of these
older stars in leading roles headed
by Kirk Douglas and Henry
Fonda, two of the best of a
dwindling breed. The vehicle,
however, is a poorly developed
and sometimes patently offensive
satire dealing with larceny and
brutality that separates the survi-
vors from the sheep.

The setting is the old west but
the plot offers pungent observa-
tions about penal reform and
greed that are just as applicable to
the human condition today. Kirk
Douglas portrays Paris Pittman

Jr., a soft spoken thoroughly des-
picable con man, who politely
robs his victims and casually be-
trays his own henchmen with
neatly placed bullets in the back.

He is caught and repaid for his
wrongdoings against the Christian
community by being placed in a
rock pile hell hole in the middle
of the desert. While languishing in
prison he persistently plots to
escape with the help of a myriad
of degenerate prison types that
include a silent loner, two homo-
sexual con artists one of whom
paints erotic Biblical pictures, a
silent strong armed Chinaman, a
handsome youth, and an old des-
perate whose hobby is growing
pot in a flower planter.

‘The potential “relevancy” of the
story-line is blighted by the min-
imal treatment of partinent topics
that are only superficially devel-
oped. The script by Robert
Benton and David Newman
(BONNIE AND CLYDE) is consis-
tently cynical and scathing when

However, if the names Joan

you (and at least one or two of
them should!), then Dynamite

taking swipes at needed prison
reform, brutal subjugation and
homosexuality within prisons, and
two-faced Christian mores.

Yet this conscious, stylistic
imitation of M*A*S*H has none
of the humor or humanity inher-
ent in the war satire. All the
characters are thoroughly unre-
deemable and this unsympathetic
treatment coupled with the super-
ficial observations makes it rather
unpleasant, depressing, and weak.

The actors are uniformly excel-
lent making the best out of their
individual badness. Douglas is de-
ceptive and cunning as Pittman in
contrast to the typical Henry
Fonda role as the morally straight
and sincere warden. Hume Cronyn
and John Randolph, as the gay
inmates, are frequently funny and
effective. Warren Oates, as the
drifter, is particularly strong and
always suspicious. Finally Burgess

Meredith, to whom I wish years of
continued health, is inspired as
the old Missouri Kid who has
resigned himself to a life of im-
prisonment.

Joseph L. Mankiewitz, whose
last effort was a forty million
dollar epic bomb entitled CLEO-
PATRA, must be blamed for the
basic failures of his latest film, He
has returned from oblivion with
his ability to direct actors intact
but has seemingly lost all the
style, pace, and verve he once
commanded as a top flight com-
mercial director in the fifties.

Finally the pop-jazz music score
by Charles Strouse is totally
inappropriate for a western fur-
ther alienating an already over-
taxed audience. Even the consist-
ent twist at the end of the movie
cannot save THERE WAS A
CROOKED MAN from going
completely crooked.
