DEAN 0. WILLIAM PERLMUTTER, standing, explains at
a symposium the report of the special committee on Under-
graduate Education, which proposes changes in the pattern of

education at the University.

Science, Society Study
At New Center Here

One of the main goals the
new Center for Science and Hu-
man Affairs hopes to accomplish
is “the development of a Uni-
versity organization that can util-
ize the interest of various
groups of people for the purpose
of solving current problems in-
volving science and society.’

At a press conference held
Wednesday afternoon in the
Executive Room of the Thruway
Motor Inn session leaders of the
five-day conference on “The
Scientific Revolution — Its Im-
pact on Man and Society’? were
asked what direction future study
would take.

In reply, Dr. Eugene Rabino-
witch, one of the conference lead-
ers and editor of ‘‘The Bulletin
of Atomic Scientists,” said that
problems of the world and the
nation, in addition to those rais-
ed by Congressman Daddario at
the opening address and, gener-
ally, problems of human habitat
such as the crowding will be dis-
cussed and results acted upon.

Dr. McTaggart-Cowan, Presi-
dent of Simon Fraser University
and governor of the Arctic In-
stitute of North America, said
that the ‘‘conference has identi-
fied a whole spectrum of prob-
lems. Where will we start? By
coming to the people who will
select starting points.””

The subject of informing the
public was brought up and one of
the session leaders was concern-
ed with how the public would get
unbiased information on science
issues of major importance. He
said, ‘“‘They won’t get it from
newspapers.’?

Dr. Bentley Glass, President-
elect of the American Associa~
tion for the Advancement of
Science and Academic Vice Pres,
at Stony Brook, was concerned
with ‘‘how technical change which
grows out of scientific advance
can be introduced without disrupt-
ing the nature of society.”’

For these reasons, the‘¢neces-
sity of studying problems,
dangers and disadvantages’’ re-
sulting from technological ad-
vance is obvious.

Rabinowitch added that the
*twhole problem of science and
society is how to minimize the
damage of the Supersonic boom.
This is not so obvious to every-
one.””

It is generally agreed among

the session leaders that the edu-
cation of the general public was
necessary so they would be in-

‘terested in finding out the news

affecting them. The general
public must be given significant
information so they may make
intelligent judgments about what
portion of a program is worth.
while.

Rabinowitch brought out the
point that the scientist must act
as a citizen and not only as a
hard core scientist in agreement
with this, McTaggart-Cowan said
that “the role of the social scient-
ist is becoming increasingly im-
portant in portraying the results

Faculty, Students Review,
ReviseUndergrad Ed. Report

by Ira Wolfman
Staff Reporter

Students and Faculty members
of the University were given an
opportunity to review and revise
aspects of the second draft ofthe
Curriculum report entitled‘‘New
Patterns in Undergraduate Edu-
cation” at a special seminar
which was open to the public.

The report concerns itself with
a set of proposals and suggestions
dealing with the future of the
University. It was produced by a
special committee appointed by
the Undergraduate Academic
Council, who have been at work
on this report since January of
1967.

President Evan R, Collins pre-
sided over the seminar, at which
over 150 students and faculty
were in attendance. During the
course of the two and a half
hour session, the report was ex-

.plored and criticized by those

present.

Dean O, William Perlmutter,
who wrote the second draft ofthe
report, stated in his address to
the seminar that ‘‘this is a Uni-
versity which is going to be
watched with interest nation-
wide.”? He admitted that ‘not all
of the ideas in the report are
new, but all have merit.’? He then
outlined for the audience the five
main proposals of the report; the
three year master’s program, the
general College, the Department-
al program, the proposal for in-
creased outlets for independent
study, and the Experimental Col-
lege.

Tt was suggested that each pro-
posal be taken as separate en-
tities, Debate was opened on the
proposals by a discussion of the
three years master’s. After
sufficient discussion had en-

Relate Drugs

by Carl Lindeman

The concern over marijuana
and other haullucinogens oncam-
pus were recently discussed by
Dr. Clifton Thorne, Vice-Presi-
dent of Student Affairs, Dr. Janet
Hood, Director of Health Serv-
ice, and Chandler Stein, Legal
Counselor on campus.

The discussions centered
around the administrative, medi-
cal and legal aspects of the prob-
lem. The discussions also were
designed to aid in eliminating
many of the misconceptions about
drugs on campus and the prob-
lems associated with their pres-
ence on campus.

In regard to undercover agents
operating on campus, Dr. Thorne
stated that he was ‘not in favor
of undercover agents on campus
unless the academic community,
that is, students and faculty, de-
termine that they had a problem
that couldn’t be solved in any
other way.’? He added that he
‘would be extremely disappoint-
ed if I would find any.”

Undercover agents were de-
fined as anyone who investigates
an organization without the or-
ganization’s knowledge of their
investigation,

Relations between the Univer-
sity and law enforcement agenc-
jes were cited as excellent by
Thorne, According to Thorne,
local law enforcement agencies
were invited to the campus in
the fall of 1966, Since then the

Civil Law

narcotic agents have been re-
quested to come on campus once
to investigate the use of drugs.
However, no arrests were made.

Thorne emphasized that the

sued, President Collins asked for
a consensus of the audience’s
opinions of each of the proposed
ideas. One could either feel
“more favorably than not,’? ‘¢ob-
ject strongly,” or ‘support en-
thusiastically” each respective
proposal.

In general, there was good re-
ception of each of the proposals.
All five of them were favored

by a majority of those present.
while only the Experimental Col-
lege received more than a hand-
ful of opposing votes. Great en-
thusiasm was displayed for the
Independent study proposal,
shown by the fact that over half
of those present indicated that
they were strongly in favor of it,

Kennedy, McCarthy
Drives Begin Campaign

‘An organizational meeting of
the ‘‘State Students for Kennedy’’
was attended by close to 200 stu-
dents last Monday night,

‘About the same number of stu-
dents were present at the initial
rally Wednesday evening for Mc-
Carthy. M.J, Rosenberg, 2 junior
here, was the prime initiator of
tha meeting for Kennedy.

The meeting was held primar~
ily to establish the groundwork
of a campus wide campaign in
conjunction with a Robert F.
Kennedy for President move-
ment,

Rosenberg opened a short ad-
dress by stating that, ‘The Ken-
nedy campaign has begun at Al-
bany State.” He then went into
an explanation of the purposes and
aims of the organization,

The primary objective of this
group presently is, according to
Rosenberg, ‘‘to win the State Uni-
versity at Albany for Kennedy in
the Choice ’68 election.” He was
referring to the coming ‘‘Col-
legiate Presidential Primary” to
be held April 25th. The names of
all the prospective presidential
candidates will be listed on this
ballot.

Rosenberg stated that the rea-
son for the establishment of this
group is that, ‘tif a sizable num-
ber of votes is recorded for
R.F.K. on the college campuses
nationwide, it will show the pub-
lic that the intellectual commun-
ity of the United States is behind
Kennedy.”

The plans for the group in the

near future include the establish-

ment of a table in the Campus
Center where political materials,
(ise., buttons, posters, etc.) will
be offered to students.

Contact has presently been
made with Senator Kennedy’s
N.Y. Senatorial office and hisna~
tional office in Washington.

After the foundation has been
completed, representatives will
be appointed in each dorm to in-
form the residents of further
activities.

Present at the meeting was
the Regional Director for the
Kennedy Campaign in the Capitol
District. He gave out to a few
student representatives a peti-
tion that is to be signed by pro-
fessors who support Kennedy’s
entrance into the race. The peti-
tion in part reads:

“We welcome Senator Robert
F. Kennedy’s decision to seek the
Democratic Party’s nomination
for President. . . We support him
in his effort.”

This, it is hoped, will be part
of an ad to be placed in the New
York Times for Robert F, Ken-
nedy by college professors
across the nation,

Rosenberg’s reaction to the
response of the student body—
“I was thrilled at the large turn-
out of students tonight.’ Heasked
that all students who attended the
meeting be patient until they are
contacted. He also asked that all
who did not attend and are inter-

ABOUT TWO HUNDRED students turned out for the organizational meeting at the Kennedy
for President group on campus. Approximately the same number came out for McCarthy.

Record Budget Of $247 Thousand

Approved

by Vic Looper
Staff Reporter

Central Council approved all
the budgets’ of Living Area Af
fairs Commission (LAAC), Aca-
demic Affairs Commission
(AAC), Religious Affairs Com-
mission (RAC), Central Council
and Dramatics Council at its
Thursday, May 21 meeting. The
Grand Total of Appropriation so
far is $174,000.

Council ‘has budged $5,000 for
LAAC, $6,000 for AAC, $390
for RAC, $15,000 for Council
and $11,000 for Dramatics Coun-
cil, for a $36,000 total. The
Grand Total of all budgets is
$247,000.

Council’s actual approriations
totaled $1,000, $3,000, $310, $15,-
000, $8,000 and $27,000 total
respectively. The difference be-
tween the total budget and the
appropriations will be made up
by income lines of $4,000, $2,000,
$80, $0, $3,000 and $9,000 re-
spectively.

The grand total of $174,000
appropriations for the fiveCom-
missions and Council compares
with a total appropriation for all
Student Association (SA) groups
of $152,000 for the present fiscal
year, 67-68,

All the above and following ©

facts and figures are based on the
original budgets as passed by
Council last year and do not re~
flect any additional approriations
or newly budgeted groups. Un-
less otherwise stated, the term
budget will hereinafter be defin-

ed as appropriation.

The MYSKANIA budget was
tabled so the new MYSKANIA
could present their own budget
with consideration of their plans
for 1968-69.

Campus Carnival (State Fair),
Campus Chest and Smiles were
tabled so that a newly appointed
Committee on Solicitations could
present a report. The members
of the Committee are; Sue Chape,
Allen Cohen, Student Activities
Advisor Miss Alice Corbin, V. P.
Paul Downes, Special Events
Board Chm. Nick Dugo, Terry
Mathias, and CPC Chm. Mildred
Polsenski.

With the exception of Central
Council there were no increases
of more than $1,000. Council had
an increase of $2,740 from $12,-
440 to $15,180. This was due to
mainly to an increase from $3,-
600 to $6,000 in Council’s Emer-
gency Spending Line (ESL). Coun-
cil decreased most of its bud-
getary lines and eliminated one
entirely.

The ESL is used to cover ex~
penses and extra appropriations
of items, programs, etc. that
were not thought of when the bud-
get was presented. This line also
funds newly formed groups. The
line is usually budgeted too low,
therefore, the usual procedire
is to run the line in the red,

An amendment to Council’s
budget was passed to give the
Vice-President a salary of $200,
The only question asked was if
the V.P, worked more than’30

hours a week. As stated in the
Finance Policy a person must
work 30 hours a week in order
to be granted a salary, The ques-
tion was answered in the affirma~-
tive.

The ASP’s four sub-editors
were also granted a $200 salary
when their budget was presented.
They also work more than 30
hours a week.

There are now 12 SA salaried
positions. They are: the Presi-
dent and V.P. of SA, the co-
editors and four sub-editors of
the ASP, the co-editors of the
Torch, and the General Manager
and Chief Engineer of WSUA.

The total appropriations for
these positions are $3,600.

When LAAC’s budgets were
discussed, Paul Breslin, the
LAAC representative, made a
motion to reduce each Quads
income lines by $100. This was
the consensus of LAAC because
they felt that the income lines
were too high and could never

By Central Council

be met.

Budget Committee had set the
line for Social Events equal to
the income lines. This would
mean that the Quad would have
to break even on all their events
in order to meet the income
line.

There were two increases in
AAC’s budgets and also two
riders attached to Beta Beta
Beta’s budget, the Biology Honor-
ary. The riders involved non-
SA members of the honorary and
coffee hours for SA members.

The Dramatics Council budget
caused a great deal of discus-
sion. CPC had held an investiga-
tion to establish the relationship
between Dramatics and State
University Theatre. The budget
was. decreased from $7,920 to
$7,502.50.

Council also appropriated $2,«
060.25 from Athletic Advisory
Board’s surplus to pay for meals
for the Spring Sports during
Spring Recess.

ApplicationsReady
For Fall Housing

Applications for on-campus
housing for continuing, single un-
dergraduates are now available
in the Housing Office, Fulton
Hall, Suite 103 and in all resi-
dence halls.

Four items must be completed
before the student’s application
ean be processed: resident ap.
plication and contract card, resi-
dence hall personal information
card, business office 2-part card,
and $25 advance rental deposit.

When the Housing Office re.
ceives the above information and
rental deposit, the contract for
the entire ’68~’69 academic year
is in effect and, thereafter, re-
quests for moving off campus
will not be honored,

Students planning to live off-
campus or commute are requir-
ed to file a local address format
preregistration although . their
local address for Fall may not yet
be known.

Completed application forms
and the $25 advance rental fee
will be accepted beginning Mon~
day, April 22 on a priority basis
similar to that established last
year. Seniors (to be) will turn in
residence forms Monday and
Tuesday, April 22, 23; Juniors
(to be), Tuesday and Wednesday,
April 23, 24; Sophomores (tobe),
Wednesday and. Thursday, April
24, 25; and Greeks, Thursday
and Friday, April 25, 26,

Priority for choosing of rooms
will be again based on seniority
and return to the same residence
hall. A point system will be used
with suite groups having the
least number of total points in
their size (4,5,6 members) clas-
sification choosing first.

The numerical assignment be-
gins with seniors returning tothe
same hall receiving one point,
seniors changing halls, two and
so on similarly through juniors
and sophomores,

University To Have Blood Drive;
To Be Sponsored By APA

‘A national Red Cross Blood
Center will be located in the
Campus Center on Tuesday, May
7, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
blood drive, sponsored by the
brothers of Alpha Pi Alpha Fra-
ternity, will depend mainly on
the support of the student body
and other members of the Univer-
sity.

Since donors under 21 between
the ages of 18 and 21 must ob-
tain permission from their pa-
rents to give blood, permission
slips will be distributed on the
dinner lines during this coming
week,

Students are asked by Hank
Rabinowitz, chairman of the blood
drive, to send the slips home for
their parents’ signatures, Collec-
tion boxes will be set up in each
dorm for signed slips to be de-
posited in,

Donors over 21 will also be
able to obtain sign up slips onthe
dinner lines. Permission-sign up
slips will be made available to
students, faculty, administration
and staff next week at the in-
formation desk in the Campus
Center.

On the back of each permis-

‘sion-sign up slip, the donor is

asked to indicate what hours be-
tween 10 and 4 he will be free on
May 7. Collection boxes will re-
main in the dorms from next
week to the weekend before the
drive.

A donor can benefit by know-
ing that his family as’ well as his
own bood needs will be met with-
out charge for the blooditselfand
without the necessity of getting
replacement donors.

Furthermore, the contributors
make available to physicians:
serum albumin for emergency
treatment. of shock; gamma globu-
lin. for protection against hepa-

titis and other diseases; fibrino-
gen for control of hemorrhaging
in childbirth; vaccinia immune
globulin, the only specific -treat-
ment for severe complications
from small pox vaccination.

In line with recent blood donor
policy changes by the Red Cross
involving respiratory illness,
malaria and pregnancy the blood
drive will follow the following
regulations.

Donors must be free of acute
respiratory disease, such as
colds, grippe and flu, at the time
of the donation. If the donor has
ever had malaria, he is perman-
ently deferred. And, women are

ineligible as blood donors dur-
ing pregnancy and for six months
after delivery, abortion or mis-
carriage,

Another change in the rules.
deals with the upper age require-
ment for blood donors, The donor
age range now covers 18 through
61 years instead of the previous
18 through 60 years requirement.

This is the fraternity’s second
blood drive. It is hoped by Rabin-
owitz that, in view ofthe increase
in the amount of people in the
total University Community, this
drive will be a greater success
than the one sponsored by the
fraternity two years ago.

mental college were especially
heated. It was made apparent
that many felt that 15 was too
young an age to "subject stu-
dents to the pressures of col-
lege,” as one speaker put it.
Other points made against the
Experimental College included
the argument that the monetary
demands that the college would
make on a family (3 years prior
to college and 4 years of college
away from home) would exclude
all but upper class students.
Dean Perlmutter admitted that
the Experimental College was an
area still in need of a great deal
of research.

There was a lively debate going
on throughout the night on many
of the issues. Comments were
made by both students and faculty;
many points were brought out,
many were clarified.

When asked for his opinion
of the results of the seminar,
Dean Perlmutter stated that “the
student reaction was superb, and
the general reaction was ex-
cellent.’”” He projected that there
will probably be modifications re-
sulting from the comments of the
audience, although he added that
the general principles of the re-
port were mostly well received,

The report will now go back
to the Undergraduate Academic
Council (after the modifications
are completed), where it will
either be rejected or accepted.
-From, there, it will be sent to
the Faculty enate.

ested contact him, M.J. Rosen-
berg, Delancey Hall, 472-8724.

McCarthy drew about thesame
number of students and, in some
cases, the same students.

A leader of the local CDA was
present and gave a short speech,
He said that McCarthy had a
good chance of winning the
nomination, and, as far as he
could see, McCarthy is the best
candidate in line for the presi-
dency.

The purpose ofthe meeting was
to encourage active support of
the students and active support
from the students in persuading
those registered Democrats to
vote for McCarthy intheprimary
and at the polls in November.

He also said that he had pledg-
ed himself to McCarthy only and
would not support Kennedy un-
less McCarthy decided to do so.

Those attending the meeting
were given cards toindicate their
names and telephone numbers in
addition to what aspect of the
campaign they would like towork
on.

A storefront for McCarthy will
be established soon in Albany and
students were invited to come and
help with canvassing, typing or
anything else downtown and on-
campus.

Students were invited to ask
questions and one asked if it was
possible to support both Kennedy
and McCarthy. The answer was
that this is perfectly all right.

Those present were invited to
stay and watch the film ‘*Viet-
nam: How We Got In; How We
Can Get Out,” featuring David
Schoenbrun, It was suggested that
this film would aid in under-
standing the views of McCarthy.

‘The film, because over 90 per
cent of the students remained
to see it; was shown in two
sessions.

Collins Discusses Study;
Construction, Vandalism

by Tim Keeley
Staff Reporter

President Evan R, Collins dis-
cussed the recently published Un-
dergraduate Study and the con-
struction trends on campus at
the President’s Conference with
students on Monday.

President Collins commented
that most of the changes advo-
cated by the study would cost
money that was not yet budgeted.

The earliest possible time that
such changes could financially
take place is in the fall of 1969.
Between now and that time the
Faculty Senate would also haveto
approve such changes,

The tri-semester plan was also
discussed by President Collins
and students attending the confer-
ence. Under that system students
would take three courses each
of three semesters.

However, no new system could
be started, President Collins
pointed out, unless it was ap-
proved by the Faculty Senate sub-
committee on curriculum for un-
dergraduates.

Commenting about next year’s
school calendar President Col-
lins remarked, ‘It’s a worse cale
endar than I thought it was.’?
This comment was provoked in
regards to the number of teach-
ing days and also the absence of
a sizable intersession.

Student questions about con-
struction on campus prompted
President Collins to site expect-
ed completion dates,

“We are hopeful that six of
the large group instruction rooms
under the podium will be avail-
able for use in the fall,” Presi-
dent Collins said, He also antici-
pates the opening ofthe computer
center ‘early this summer.’”

The Theater Arts building is
expected to open on or around
October 15.

The architect’s office recently
released their drawings of the
fourth residence quadrangle,

Bids will be going out within two
weeks,

Once the contract is awarded
it is hoped that construction will
begin around May.

It was noted that vandalism
is evident on campus, according
to Collins such acts as just ‘‘stue
pid destructiveness” are costly.

“Such acts of vandalism can
not be curbed by increasing the
security force; the University
community must discourage stu-
dents from committing vandal-
ism,’’ closed Collins.

objected to the draft. They were:
1- To go into the Army and bore
from within, 2 - Go to Canada,
3 - Practice some form of Civil
disobedience, preferably refusal
of induction.

Mr. Zimmerman gave the au-
dience a cautionary note on the
first alternative. He warned that
they would be entering a hostile
environment and might find the
situation very difficult. The sec-
ond alternative would remove the
individual from political re-
sponse, and there by make him
relatively ineffective.

Therefore Mr. Zimmerman’s
personal preference would be
civil disobedience, But this type
of resistance would have to be
done in large numbers, and in-
volves a risk of jail to the partici-
pant. In order for this to be done
on our campus it is necessary to
devise activities that will achieve
a sense of solidarity.

Mr. Zimmerman suggested
that the members first circulate
an ‘I won’t go’? statement to the
members of the University Com-
munity asking people to say they
will refuse induction if called by
their draft boards. The second
step would be to have a series
of workshops to discover who
would actually stick to the idea.
The third step would consist of
some kind ofa‘‘GraduationCere-

mony’? in which the‘‘SummaCum
Laude” would be awarded to those
who turn in their cards.

Mr. Zimmerman then told his
audience, composed primarily of
faculty members and female stu-
dents, that they must be ready
to exert pressure on the presi-
dential candidates. Kennedy’s
words, in particular must be
measured against his potential
actions.

soring an All-University Cloth-
ing Drive for the South End be-
ginning Wednesday, April 3. to
Tuesday, April 9,

Large corregated boxes will
be placed in each dorm’s lower
lounge for use as a depository.
The chairman for the group, Paul
Lieberman urges all the students
to cooperate with this drive,

The purpose of the drive,
according to Leiberman, is to
make the student aware of one
of the many problems that exist
in the South End and to motivate
him to take action by participat-
ing in other projects.

It is hoped by Leiberman that
all students will give generously,

And what | see of my classy mate, Oe
Ilike! Ruggedly built, but with a cool, suave
look... just like his permanently pressed

_ Van Heusen “417 Vanopress shirt. It’s the
one with new Soil-Away process that _
washes out stains and collar soil without _
scrubbing. Complete with authentic button-
down collar and V-Tapered fit. In tough,
turned-on stripes, checks or solids. Gee,|
just can't take my eyes off him. Funny,

portant conclusion to be drawn
from this participation is a non-
partisan one. ‘‘Namely that ef-
fective, articulate expression of
political opinion by students,
combined with their active parti-
cipation in the political process,
can significantly affect the out-
come of elections and the shape
of American politics.’?

Anyone interested in helping
the steering committee with any
aspect of the Choice 68 activity
should contact the committee
member in the area in which he
is interested,

Whitney Case
Decided-Guilty

The case of James Whitney
versus the People of the State
of New York came to a con
clusion Wednesday when Judge
Michael V. Tepedino handed down
his decision.

Judge Tepedino, after a week
of deliberation, found James
Whitney guilty of disorderly con-
duct and fined him $50.

James Whitney, along with
nine other defendants, was ar-
rested for disorderly conduct in
connection with the Dow demon-
stration of February 21.

The trial began on Monday
March 18 and continued into Tues-
day. At that time the magistrate
reserved the right of decision
until Wednesday of this week.

The attorney for Whitney and
the other defendants is Jonathan
Harvey, a local attorney.

Representing the people of the
State of New York is the Albany
County District Attorney, Wil-
liam Gray.

This case began a chain of
cases that will be presented be-
fore the magistrate of the court
in the coming weeks.

Harvey moved for an adjourn-
ment of the nine other cases. He
told the judge that his schedule
was tied up for several weeks,

He was granted an adjourn-
ment for a period of two weeks.

Bill Proposed
To Impose Fine
For Giving Pill

(CPS) Under an Administration
proposal now being considered
by Congress, a student who gives
his roommate a pep pill to stay
awake during finals will be afed-
eral criminal subject to 10 years
in prison and a $15,000 fine.

The bill makes possession of
‘hallucinogenic drugs (including
LSD) and other depressant and
stimulant drugs’? a misdemean-
or and ‘illegal manufacture and
traffic’? and ‘possession for
sale” of such drugs, a felony.

The bill is almost certain to
be passed in the House,

it may face slightly rougher
going in the Senate. At a series
of hearings this week, members
of the Senate Juvenile Delinquen-
cy Subcommittee appeared sym-
pathetic to arguments that laws
for possession of drugs, especial-
ly marijuana, are unenforceable
and that the penalties ought to
be lessened or completely elim-
inated.

At one point, Senator Thomas
Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the
subcommittee said, ‘I have al-
ways had doubts’? about the sev-
erity of marijuana laws, which
are much tougher than those pro-
posed for LSD, even though LSD
is generally acknowledged tobea
much more dangerous drug.

And Sen. Edward M, Kennedy
(D-Mass.) questioned how effec-
tive the government’s ‘‘educa-
tion program”? on drugs could be
when the laws on marijuana and
LSD are so inequitable.

Thus, it is possible that sever-
al senators, including both Ken-
nedy brothers and possibly even
Dodd, who is generally regarded
as a conservative will speak out
against the severity of the laws
against possession of marijuana
and LSD, however, few members
of Congress are likely to vote
for lower drug penalties in an
election year.

TO FINALIZE ELECTIONS in a burst of flame a ritual bal-
lot burning marked the end ofthe two week challenge period.

New Group Interested
In Racial Situation

Presently a group of students
interested in the area of civil
rights is in the process of or-
ganizing at the University. The
first meeting, held last week,
drew approximately twenty-five
students and four faculty mem-
bers, with a much greater at-
tendance anticipated at today’s
meeting.

The basic purpose of this or-
ganization is to make more people
aware of the racial situations,
and change the student’s general
attitude of disinterest to one of
interest.

It is not merely an attempt to
educate the students concerning
racial issues and situations, but
to create a group interested in
assembling to talk and work on

(Learn Chinese And Know China)

At the hearings of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee in
early March, Dean Rusk said:
“We know that China has a popu-
lation of 700 million, armed with
nuclear weapons. We don’t know
China’s attitude.”

If a student wants to under-
stand the Chinese Communists he
might begin with learning their
language. Sun Tzu, the ancient
philosopher of war, said ‘'To
know yourself and to know your
enemy, you will win a hundred
wars.”

The University offers Chinese
language courses beginning at the
elementary level CH 101, follow-
ed by three higher year levels
CH 201, 306 and 301.

Next semester (fall ’68) a
course in Chinese Literature in
Translation will be offered, witha
guest lecturer teaching the
course. The course will be of-

Congress Considers
Stud. Loan Action

Washington (CPS) — Two Con-
gressional subcommittees, now
considering extensions and re-
visions of federal higher educa-
tion legislation, face a major
muddle over the multi-faceted
student aid program.

The biggest questions involve
the guaranteed student loan pro-
gram, under which the Federal
Government agrees to repay
loans if students default on them
and subsidizes student interest
payments.

Rep. Wright Patman (D-Tex.),
chairman of the House Banking
and Currency Committee, has
accused bankers of trying: to
make money off the loan pro-
gram. The bankers say they are
losing money.

The Center of the controversy
is a Johnson Administration pro-
posal to pay banks $35 for each
loan made to students under the
program. The banks say sucha
fee is necessary to entice banks
to make student loans.

But Patman told the House
Special Subcommittee on Educa-
tion that banks already make
money at the sixper cent interest
rate allowed under the program.
He cited a ‘*Bank Stock Quarter-
ly” survey which showed that
banks break even on loans made
at 3.89 per cent interest. He
also said that the General Ac-
counting Office, which provides
financial data for Congress, had
questioned American Bankers
Association (ABA) figures de-
monstrating how banks lose
money on the program,

Despite the support of most
witnesses of the $35 fee, Rep.
Hugh Carey (D-N.Y.) said the fee
proposal ‘just isn’t selling’? in
the House subcommittee, which
began executive session con-
sideration of the bill this week,
The Senate subcommittee has just
begun hearings.

This year’s tight budget caused
Sen. Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.) to ask

the Office of Education ata Senate

Education Subcommittee hearing
for ideas on ways to‘ maximize’
the guaranteed loan program,
possibly at the expense of such
existing direct loan programs as
the National Defense Education
Act (NDEA) loans.

It seems likely that Congress
will stop subsidizing student in-
terest payments after graduation.
At present the Federal govern-
ment will pay the interest sub-
sidy for 11 years after the stu-
dent graduates.

Allan Purdy, head of anational
association of student aid coun-
selors has’ advocated dropping
the ‘forgiveness features’? of the
National Defense Education Act
(NDEA) loans.

of technology.’”

One useful result of the Center
for Research will be that the
social sciences and humanities
will be further forced to take
into account swift new develop-
ments brought about by rapid
technological advances.

The Center marks the “‘com-
ing together of these two groups.’?
“Decisions,” it was said, ‘*can
no longer be made without scienti-
fic imputs, but cannot be made
only with them.’?

It was felt that the University
was a good place to house such
a center, for here would be found
the hard scientists. Also im-
portant was the recognition of the
new aspects young students would
give to such a project.

DR. BERKELY PEABODY, Professor of Comparative

Literature, spoke recently on the use of computer analysis of

literary texts.

Mead Reverses Position
On Marriage In Two Steps

(REDBOOK) — Anthropoligist
Margaret Mead, who recently ad-
vocated marriage in two steps,
today declared reaction to her
plan presented a ‘dilemma’ and
that it was “unsatisfactory” at
present, because “young people
are clamoring for anew morality
that will put a seal of approval
on premarital sex.’”

“The need is urgent to re-
think our traditional approach to
marriage,”” Dr. Mead wrote in
the current issue of Redbook,
just released.

Young people “tare not asking
for the right to be delinquent;
they are asking that the stigma
of delinquincy be removed al-
together. They have read the
books that tell them sex is good
and necessary for a well-bal-
anced life.

Almost .two years ago, Dr.
Mead proposed the development
of two forms of marriage. One,
which she termed “individual,”
involved no children, and its
limited economic responsibi-
lities would be ‘‘easy to end.’?
The other, ‘Parental,’ would
be a second step by couples
ready ‘to undertake the lifetime
obligations’? of parenthood.

“Tt now seems clear to me
that neither elders or young
people want to make a change
to two forms of marriage,” she
said, ‘‘They want to reserve the
word ‘marriage’ for a commit-
ment that they feel is permanent
and final, no matter how often
the actual marriages may fail.’?

Young people ‘‘don’t want to
compromise their future, es-
pecially the future for the boys,
by a@ gruelling domesticity. too
soon. They are increasingly
willing to wait for marriage,
but they no longer understand
why they must wait for sex.’?

Dr. Mead’s advice to them:
“You had better get legally mar-
ried.”

“It is the earnest and respon-
sible young people who are re-
questing sex freedom with
a single, chosen lover who pre-
sent the dilemma,’ she said,

Dr. Mead said she discovered
during discussion with young peo-
ple that ‘in their eyes, marriage
is meaningless without children,
The idea of a cherishing rela-
tionship between two individuals
through marriage does not appeal
to them,

“Before marriage, uninstitu-
tionalized sex relations —

companionship, as they see it—
or, for the religious and conser-+
vative, decorous waiting, is ap-
propriate.

“Why get married?’ they ask.
Why can’t we simply live together
until we are ready to get mar-
ried? Contraception is reliable;
no unborn baby is being wronged;
no girl’s honor will be ruined;
no young man, his education un-
finished, will be trapped into mar-
riage.’

“So parents and advisers,
teachers and clergy, are in a
quandry. . .they say one thing
out loud, one thing from the ros-
trum and the pulpit; and pri-
vately, they sympathize, condone
and connive to give particular
young people the happiness they
are demanding,” ” Dr. Mead
wrote in Redbook.

The children are asking sup-
port of new standards. The most
they can get is collusion in the
kind of behavior that is still
pranded as immoral and illegal.
They want parental approval;
they want to feel that what they
are doing is right.

“I believe we have to say at
present: If you want the ex-
perience of full time compan-
ionship with someone you love—
and this is what you should want,
for it is the most satisfactory
and fully responsible relation-
ship—you had better get legally
married, use contraceptives re-
sponsibily and risk divorce later.
You are risking even more if
you don’t,” Dr. Mead wrote in
Redbook.

College Proficiency Exams
Give Credit, Meet Requirements

College proficiency examina-
tions are designed to make tt
possible for individuals to earn
college credit and meet teacher
certification or other job re-
quirements through study or ex-
perience outside of regular col-
lege courses,

Any person who thinks he is
qualified may take the examina-
tions, The testing dates are May
23-24, 1968. The application
deadline is April 19,

The New York State College
Proficiency Examination Pro-
gram was established by the state
Education Department inan effort
to open up the educational oppor-
tunities of the state to individuals
who had acquired college - level
knowledge in ways other than
through regular classroom at-
tendance.

‘The State Education Depart-
ment, after much counsel with
college administrators and fac-
ulty, was convinced of the need
for and assured of much support
from the academic community
of the state for such a program,

Although the program that
resulted from these earlier delib-
erations is coordinated by the
New York State Education Depart-
ment, the academic standards re~
flected in the examinations are
determined by outstanding facul-
ty members from campuses
across the state,

At present, for example, there
are almost 200 college faculty
members who serve as consul-
tants to the program, These
consultants, working in commit-
tees, draw up examination speci-
fications,. write examination
questions, rate candidates’ an-
swers to those questions, and,
most important, determine lev-
els of performance on the exam-
inations needed to achieve satis-
factory (or better) CPE grades

The State Education Depart-
ment looked to the colleges and
universities of New York
State for guidance in developing
College Proficiency Examination
Program because it would be
those very colleges and univer-
sities: which would be granting
credit to the person who did well
on the CPE,

War Protest Day

NEW YORK (CPS) — Students
at Columbia University held a
moratorium on classes Wednes-
day as a way of expressing their
opposition to the Vietnam war and
the draft.

As part of the day of protest,
speeches and discussions on is-
sues connected with the war were
held. Some of the students put
on an art exhibition, while others
held a poetry reading. About
2,000 heard Dwight MacDonald,
well-known writer and an active
supporter of The Resistance, give
his views on the war.

In the evening Alan Ginzberg
gave a reading of his poetry
at the school.

The moratorim grew out of a
meeting held by the senior class
shortly after the new draft re
gulations were announced, Sev-
eral of the seniors felt that the
university students generally
should have some way of ex-
pressing their opposition to the
war, and so a coalition of sen-

jors and activist groups on
campus called for the mora-
torium.

Although the organizers of the
moratorium won the backing of
the administration, not all
classes were called off. Accord-
ing to the Columbia College
dean’s office, ‘a few’? classes
were held,

Admin.,

(Continued from Page 1)
University would call any lawen~
forcement agency if illegal ac-
tivities were discovered on cam-
pus. As an example, the Vice-
President explained that if a
“pot”? party were revorted tothe
Administration it would be their
“obligation” to call law enforce
ers.

Maintaining that an excellent
relationship exists between the
University and both local author-
ities and the narcotics control
bureau, Thorne stated that he had
been assured by the New York
State Bureau of Narcotics Con-
trol that no undercover agents
will be placed on this campus,

In the entire history of the
University, Thorne stated that
only seven students have been
arrested on a narcotic charge.
All of these arrests were made
by Albany Police and were off-
campus.

Five out of the seven appeared
before the Grand Jury. Twoout of
the other three have not been in-
dicted. No action has been taken
on the other two individuals. As
yet the University has never tak-
en additional disciplinary action
such as suspension against any
student charged with possession
or sale of a narcotic.

Thorne also explained the
issue of discipline by the
University itself in regard
to those students using
marijuana or otherhallucino-
gens on campus. He stressed
that the University will ‘not en-
ter a student’s room without his
knowledge or presence unless a
specific emergency is present—
@.g. smoke, steam, flames,
screams, etc,’

If University authorities doen-
ter the room it will be the stu-
dent who opens drawers, closets
or other objects in the room.
However, this does not bar law
enforcers from entering any stu-
dent’s room with a search war-
rant.

The University will also pro-
vide legal counseling for a stu-
dent if he so desires. The legal
counseling service is provided
in order to diagnose the problem
and aid the student in deciding
whether or not he needs an at-
torney.

However, the University does
not provide a lawyer for any stu-
dent.

Law,

torney for Faculty-Student
Association discussed the
double jeopardy.Double jeopardy
is the action of being on trial
twice for the same criminal act.
A student arrested by State Nar-
eotics agents cannot plead dou-
ble jeopardy if the University
decides to take disciplinary ac-
tion in addition to disciplinary
action taken by the Narcotics Con-
trol Bureau.

Stein explained that double jeo-
pardy is an issue between state
and federal law.

Stein also indicated that the
University must cooperate with
Jaw enforcement agencies and
avoid the breakdown of commun-
ications that occurred at Stony
Brook.

One of the most difficult areas
of this entire problem is the
relationship between legal and
medical regulations.

Dr. Janet Hood, Director
of Student Health Service,
explained the situation that
exists among the student re-
questing medical and psy-
chiatric help, the Health
Service and law enforcers.

The following is a statement
released by Dr. Hood explaining
this relationship: a

«In the sincere belief that stu-
dents need to know all they can
about the medical aspects of drug
abuse and also the laws in rela-
tion to drug abuse, it is impor-
tant for students on this campus
to know that although marijuana
is a ‘narcotic? legally more
than pharmacologically, the law
states that a physician must re-
port the case to the State De-
partment of Health when it ap-
pears that an individual ‘tis an
habitual user of any narcotic
drug.’?

“Thus, by law, ‘habitual’? use
of marijuana must be reported.

The physician's interpreta-
tion of what constitutes
“habitual use’? is crucial,
therefore.

‘Medical experience in gen-
eral has shown that the vast ma-
jority of student-users of mari-
juana seeking medical help are
not classifiable as ‘habitual us-
ers” and are, therefore, not re-
portable.

“In our own Student Health
Service on this campus, we have

New Left, AntiwarGroups Threaten
National Convention In Chicago

Reprinted from the
New York Times
by Donald Janson

CHICAGO, March 25 —
Spokesmen for a loose coalition
:of New Left and antiwar groups
said today demonstrators at the
Democratic national convention
here in August would be peace-
ful rather than disruptive.

But they attacked Mayor Rich-
ard J. Daley, charging him with
planning unconstitutional re-
pression, and promised a legal
challenge to insure their right
to freedom of speech- and as-
sembly.

Spokesmen at a news confer-
ence at the YMCA Hotel fresh
from a planning meeting held
over the weekend, were Rennie
Davis of Chicago, director of the
Center for Radical research;
David Dellinger of New York,
editor of Liberation magazine,

“Tf, in the future, we find a
need to report ‘habitual use,’
the individual will be reassured
that he is not going to be dis-
ciplined since the Student Health
Service under no circumstances
serves a disciplinary function.
Furthermore, the mere reported
act of smoking marijuana is not
a crime under the civil law. When
a reported habitual user of mari.
juana is subsequently contacted,
if he is, by State Health Narco-
tics Control or State Police, it
is not for the purpose of punish-
ing the user but for the purpose
of trying to persuade the user to
disclose his source of supply.

“The authorities are primar-
ily interested in source of sup-
ply. Our objectives would be
exactly the same as they would
be for any other health problem,

“T don’t think much would be
gained by trying to storm the
convention against all the tanks
and other military equipment they
would bring in,” said Mr. Del-
linger, a principal organizer of
massive demonstrations in New
York City last April 15 and at
the Pentagon last Oct. 21.

Demonstrators may be aimed
at induction centers rather than
the convention, he said. He said
they would take place simultan-
eously in other cities as well
as Chicago.

Mr, Davis condemmed the re-
cent arming of all Chicago police-
men with chemical Mace, a dis-
abeling spray. He said the “major
disrupter’”? of the convention
could be Mayor Daley for such
“provocative actions.”

He said the Mayor had ‘in-

ready to do so.

“In other words, students on

should feel secure in talking toa

“Student Health Service rec-
ords are confidential and the
psychiatric portion of the record
is filed separately from the regu-

tion to protect confidentiality.

“The reporting of any health
problem involving follow-ups by
Health Authorities would never
be done without the fullknowledge
of the patient himself. And, fin-
ally, no information from’ our
health records can be sent on
to employers or graduate schools
without the written consent ofthe
student.

on exercise of civil liberties,”

The Mayor commented at a
news conference that the rights
of all citizens wouldbe respected
but that ‘no one, no matter who
they are or who they represent,
will be able to take over the
convention hall or streets of Chi-

cago.??

The coalition initiated last
weekend will be composed of
such New Left student groups
as students for a Democratic
Society, such antiwar organiza-
tions as Women Strike for Peace,
draft resistance groups and slum
neighborhood organizations, Re-
presentatives will meet in June
at an undisclosed site in the
Midwest to plan the convention
protest,

The aim stated today was ‘to
use the Democratic convention
as a national platform to heighten
our impact and visibility and
draw the movement together.’?

Demonstrations will seek to
stimulate popular antiwar senti-
ment and build coalition member-

ship.

Mr. Dellinger said the coali-
tion would not try to impose
peaceful demonstration tactics
on other groups demonstrating at
the convention.

MYSKANIA Plans

Leaders Seminar
On Curric.Report

MYSKANIA 769 has begun its

year of activities with*plans for
a student leader seminar with the
‘committee which issued the re-
port on undergraduate education,
«*New Patterns in Undergraduate
Education.’? The meeting is tobe
held on Sunday, April 7 at 8
p.m. in the Assembly Hall of the
Campus Center.

The report was previously dis-
cussed in an open symposium of
Faculty and students last week,
but MYSKANIA felt that the pre-
ponderance of faculty at the meet~
ing did not allow as much student
participation as was needed.

Students have been encouraged
by the administration to take a
hand in both the philosophical and
practical aspects of curriculum
change. MYSKANIA chairman
Mishkin indicated that he felt
such a seminar was an excellent
way to achieve this goal.

Because it was considered that
a seminar atmosphere was best
for the discussion of the report,
invitations were limited to the
Commission Chairmen and any
commission members the chair-
men wished to include, the ASP
co-editors, representatives from
Pan-Hellenie Council and other
student leaders.

Any other students having any
ideas they wish presented at this
seminar should contact the above
mentioned persons to explain
their positions. In this way, the
greatest possible student partici-
pation can be insured.

Black Student Alliance Formed
To Improve Black-White Relations

by Gwen McLaughlin

The Tri-Cities Black Students’
Alliance (BSA), was formed in
November, 1967 on sixcampuses
in the Tri-Cities area: the Uni-
versity, R.P.I., Skidmore, Rus-
sell Sage, Hudson Valley and
Union College.

Its aims and purposes are: to
reestablish a black identity and
to make the black student on a
predominantly white college cam-
pus more than just a shadowy
non-entity.

Unfortunately, after spending
just a while on a predominate-
ly white college campus, it is
felt by BSA that the black stu-
dent usually becomes ‘‘white~
washed,” loses his identity as a
productive black person and takes
up the ‘protective’ cloak of a
“Tom?

Therefore, an organization
with the BSA’s aims and purpos-
es is felt by each member as
essential for the mental well-
being of the black student.

Similar organizations have
been founded across the country,
in direct proportion to the new
wave of black nationalism that is
newly manifest in today’s black
college students.

Harvard’s Afro-American Stu-
dent Alliance (AASA) was the
forerunner of the now-nationwide
black students’ alliances, Dart-
mouth College and Boston Uni-
versity’s ‘‘Afro-Ams’? were
started three and two years ago,
respectively, and now have full
support by the school’s admin-
istration and heterogeneous stu-
dent body.

Black students at each school
involved in the Tri-Cities BSA
are currently striving for indi-
vidual official campus student
recognition (e.g., the R.P.I. BSA
the University’s BSA, etc.)

The B,S.A,’s current goalsare
aimed for: 1) more entering black
students (both freshmen and
transfers) to area colleges (the
University’s College Opportunity
Program is an encouraging
start.) 2) more black faculty; 3)
more interest on the part of the
area colleges’ student bodies on
the ‘situation’ which exists in to-
day’s cities (both north and south)
(e.g. the University was the only
area college with an organiza-
tion even remotely concerned
with ‘‘civil rights’, the now de-
funet Freedom Council) and, to
further illustrate the culturallag
of the University. How many of

the student body had even heard
of the Orangeburg massacre be-
fore reading about itinthe March
15 ASP?

Patricia Thompson, a member
of the University’s BSA says:
“Black is beautiful. We want to
share it! There is a wealth of
African and Afro-American cul-
ture that has been deniedto many
of those attending predominantly
white universities (and here, I
am referring to the white stu-
dents.)’”? The Tri-Cities B.S.A,
suggests a Black Arts Festival
including: exhibits of African
and Afro-American paintings and
sculptures; two concerts; one of
contemporary ‘‘soul’’ music and
another of African rhythms and
dance; lectures by sensible rad-
ical black leaders (suchas Gulian
Bond and Floyd McKissick) and
skits or a play performed by a
black repertory company to fill
this ‘gap.?

However, to accomplish the
planning and financing of such an
event, the University’s Black Stu-
dents Alliance must first achieve
recognition by the Student Asso-~
ciation,

The various branches of the
Tri-Cities B.S.A, have initlateda
variety of community projects. A
luncheon for prospective black
college students was held at
R.P.I. in February; two members
of B.S.A. led a panel discussion
on black power on Channel 17
on March 4; B,S.A, was repre-
sented at the Northeast Regional
Conference of Afro-American
Student Alliances held at Dart-

Teacher Search Begins

In Africa Peace Corps

Public schools in the nation’s
capital will send an official on
a modern-day ‘‘Stanley and Liv-
ingstone” tour of Africa in search
of Peace Corps Volunteers to
meet an expected critical short-
age of teachers for the inner city
classrooms in the nation.

Edward Winner, director of
Washington’s pioneering Cardozo
project which served as a model
for the National Teachers Corps,
will fly to Africa in April to
interview interested Peace Corps
Volunteers who are completing
their regular tours of service.

He said he may go on to Korea
and the Philippines, but was going
to Africa first because of the
large number PeaceCorps teach-
ers available there. Volunteer
teachers who have served in Latin
America, Asia and the Pacific
«will also be sought.
' The District of Columbia
schools have about 1,000 of their
7,000 teacher positions still un-
filled for the next fall, Approxi-
mately 3,500 Volunteers teaching
in the 57 nations served by the
Peace Corps will finish their two-
\year tours of service this spring
and summer. About one-third of
them are in Africa.

D.C. Schoo} Supt. William Man-
ning, in announcing the unprece-
dented overseas mission said
**most of our openings for next
fall are in the inner city schools
where former Peace Corps Vol-
unteers have been so success-
ful.??

More than 100 returned Peace
Corps Volunteers have taught in
Washington’s Cardozo project.

Manning said he hopes to hire
at least 300 returning Volunteers
for next fall. ‘*We want all wecan
get,’’ he said.

Peace Corps Director Jack
Vaughn said his agency will help
expedite the mechanics of
application.

‘«We know a great many of our
Volunteers still want to be where
the action is, Vaughn said,
“The interest here in the na-
tion’s capital reflects the growing
demand for returning Peace
Corps Volunteers in schools
throughout the nation.’*

Last year, Philadelphia’s pub-

lie schools hired 175 returned
Volunteers sight unseen to help
meet classroom needs in its inner
city.

New York State grants immedi-
ate probationary teacher certifi-
cation to returned Volunteer
teachers. California also grants
credit for Peace Corps teaching
experience.

Manning said the D.C. schools
will credit Peace Corps teaching
as the student teaching require-
ment for probationary certifica-
tion.

Those accepted will be hired
at the three-year teacher level.
The current salary at this level
is $6,370. If a proposed salary
increase is approved by Con-
gress, the salary at this level
will be $7,560.

Winner said he will also seek
Volunteers who have no teaching
experience for the expanded Car-
dozo project which now has about
30 intern program leading to
teacher certification.

Mayor Walker Wasnington
said, “The Peace Corps Volun-
teers in the Cardozo project have
done such a remarkable jobin the
past five years that we are looking
for them to make a vigorous and
significant contribution to our
whole school system.’?

DE MaRS TRATION -— ALL W ELCOWE

GOOD LORD! xT's A
SCREW IN iif

Give An Inch...

In recent months, with start-
ling regularity vandalism and theft
have occurred on the University
campus. While some of this, and
even a large part, may perhaps
be the destructive work of out-
siders to the University Com-
munity, we find it impossible to
believe that some of it is not
done by University students.

It is reported that the thefts
reached a high point in December
and January, with the most vandal-
ism occurring in the last few
weeks. On the latter issue, we

wonder if there might be a cor-
relation with certain campus acti-
vities. If there is, those involved
in the activity make it clear that
vandalism is neither appropriate
nor amusing.

Some rather amazing occur-
fences in both categories have
come to light. Stereo parts have
been dismantled and stolen from
the Campus Center along with
numerous art works. The pulley
ropes (halyards) have been cut on
the pole flying the American flag;
the cost for repair in this case
is estimated at $250. A student
was caught walking out of the
administration building with two
lobby throw rugs,

In addition, panels in the men’s
and women’s rooms all over cam-
pus have been smashed, and re-
portedly some men have found
great amusement in plugging
toilets with paper towels and then
watching them overflow.

There seem to be only two pos-
sible solutions to the present de-
spicable situation. The first, the
retention of a massive police
force, which is neither feasible
nor desirable. The second and
more plausible solution would
place responsibility on every stu-
dent to ‘refrain from such activity
himself and to make it clear to
his friends that destroying pro-

perty is not the most useful thing
to do.

The university buildings are
finding it difficult enough to stand
the normal wear and tear of a stu-
dent body 9000 strong, and the
administration and Student Asso-

ciation are both attempting to pro-
vide as much equipment as pos-
sible for the use of students here.
If theft and damage remain at
this peak, so much money will
have to be spent in repair and re-
placement that new equipment and
services can not be instituted.

Welcome Back

When a university can boast
of a near perfect union of ideas
on its campus, it is dead. Only
a university community which wit-
nesses the expression of innum-
erable opinions by mouth, print,
film or any other means of com-
munication, can classify itself

Minority Integration

Exposure to various minority
groups and their problems, inaddi-
tion to the integration of these
groups in the white, middle class
society is a necessary part of
education. In this University at-
mosphere one important minority
is not exposed—the Negro.

When the student, after four
years returns to his community,
he will not have any greater know-
ledge of the Negro’s problems,
and, for those who live in com-
munities where few, if any Ne-
gros reside, he will be as un-
aware as when he came, of tne
problems facing the white com-
munity in relation to the Negroes.
We feel that this unawareness
must be stopped and reversed.

A new group has formed on
campus, so new that it doesn’t
even have a name, whose purpose
it is to educate the white com-
munity as to how they may de-
velop a more integrated relation-
ship with Negroes.

Stink

Every so often our nostrils are
desensitized by the stink of gar-
bage’ when we enter the stair-
way in front of the Campus Cen-
ter’s information desk. The
stench, which arises from the
basement, is notnecessary toadd
to the atmosphere of the plush
Patroon Room on the second’
floor.

The smell originates from B-41
where Food Service grinds upall
garbage from the eating areas
in the center. Certain times B-41
is not cleaned out; consequently,
12 hours later everyone holds
his nose when he uses the stair-
way. Stop the stink, Food Serv-
ice.

Problems such as limited hous-
ing and job opportunities in addi-
tion to raising the educational
achievement level of the Negro
must be dealt with after the real-
ization is brought about that the
white people are the cause of
these problems.

We feel that this group, by let-

ting white students know that it
is their racist behavior and atti-
tudes which prompt a Negro re-
action, will do a great service
to the University and Albany Com-
munities.

The group was motivated by the
Riot Commission Report (which
noted the arming of police with
tanks and various other weapons
in preparation for the long hot
summer), to suggest that a Police
Review Board be established in
Albany.

It was mentioned that, in gen-
eral, police brutality is justified
by the non-intervention of the
whites. By setting up such a re-
view board, the attitude of the
police would not only be checked
but rejected by the white com-
munity.

White people must be made to
recognize that to great degree it
is their role, their action and be-
havior which has caused the ‘‘Ne-
gro Revolt’’ and that it is their
responsibility to recognize this
and educate themselves. The Uni-
versity’s role in this project can
be extremely helpful. Courses (for
credit) on Black America, gener-
al ghetto and slum problems, spon-
sored group study programs inthe
South End of Albany, and the pro-
motion of a more integrated com-
munity here by admitting more
Negro students would, we feel,
activate a greatly needed com-
munity consciousness which has
become the white responsibility.

Last week, the University was
given a small dosage of adrenalin
(mot a narcotic) when “‘suppres-
sion’’ was resurrected from the
pidgeonhole it was placed in last
year. The University should have
more publications of the ‘‘sup-
pression,’” ‘“L’Humaniste’’ or
“Objector’’ type.

For it is these papers that,
because of the small number of
people they must respond to, are
free to specialize in one polit-
ical or intellectual area; they do
not have to be responsible to the
University Community. Thereisa
need for more publications of this
type to express other views and
ideas.

If a greater variety of student
supported unofficial pamphlets
could be printed, the intellectual
exchange on the campus would be
spread to the student at large and
would better the intellectual at-
mosphere of the University.

Unfortunately, no other groups
have found it to their advantage to
print their own ‘‘opinion sheets’”’
and there is little effective or
meaningful communication among
the conflicting political, philoso-
phical or social groups oncampus,

This newspaper cannot accom-
modate all these views intwo pages
each week nor can it provide the
complete interchange of ideas
which is needed on a campus of
this size. If we devote more space
to columns we would be neglecting
a primary function of a university
newspaper, that of reporting news
about the campus.

We are attempting to do our bit
to provide effective and meaning-
ful communication among the vari-
ous factions about campus, but we
are unable because of the nature of
the newspaper, to provide a com-
plete or lasting forum for every
major view at the university.

Are the “suppressionists,”” ‘les
humanistes’’ and ‘‘objectors’’ to
be the only unofficial publica-
tions on campus? We hope not;
we hope more groups will publish
their own periodicals to explicate
their own points of view and phil-
osophies.

up and take a bow! Your activi-
ties, short of the popularity of
“apple pie,” have focused the
spotlight upon you; its intensity
shows no promise of subsiding in
the future.

Celebrated by Madison Ave-
nue, lured by politicians, assuag-
ed by educators, condensed by
Reader’s Digest, imitated by Mid-
dle age, emulated by the teeny-
boppers, analyzed by Newsweek
and advocated by the New Repub-
lic, you have surpassed even
Shirley Temple and Margaret
Truman in your wide-eyed, ca-
pricious appeal. You have even
succeeded in having Look maga-
zine feel your pulse for you,.as
it proclaims ‘*How Students Feel
‘About the Draft, Parents, Sex,
Drugs, Violent Protest: Their
views will shock, surprise, and
concern you.’?

‘And if that isn’t enough, there’s
nothing like a headline in the
New York Times to boost the go:
Howard Students Step Up Univer-
sity Blockade; Buffalo State Shut
Down By War Talk; Warsaw Stu-
dents are Cheered as They Defy
Regime on Sit-In; Cracow Stu-
dents Boycott Classes; Tuskegee
Tension Rises; Polish Students
Defy Ultimatum.

There is no doubt that the col-
lege student has been inflicted
with an extraordinary measure
of power and prestige. No longer
do parents and faculty scoff at
student interest in reform as
merely a phenomenon particular
to restive youth.

Aside from the platitudes
(Don’t trust anyone over thirty)
and the flattery, there is the in-
creasing realization that we real-
ly are important: we have plenty
of energy to burn, years of time,
a penchant for constructive acti-
vism, a sense of social justice,
a healthy antipathy towards any
Establishment, and an ability to
adjust to change,

It is therefore understandable
that a recent statement by Chan-
cellor Samuel B, Gould should

prove disconcerting to many on*

this campus. His immortal
words, etched forever in last
Thursday’s Times Union, include
the following: ‘‘The most vocal
protesters are a small minority
trying to embarass the institu-
tion.’’ Asked to name the groups
causing unrest on the campuses,
Gould replied: ‘*The Students for
a Democratic Society, along with
“Hippies,” were the most vocal

Students of the world, stand

and disorderly. ... Groups like
SDS would like nothing better
than to disrupt us and interrupt
education. . . . but we’re here
to provide educational opportun-
ity, not political activism.”
Anyone short of a fascist might
interpret Gould’s statement as a
form of slander. It is unfortun-
ate that such a prominent figure
should misinterpret the actions
of students under his own juris.
diction. Chancellor Gould is do-
ing himself great harm by alien-
ating the students who are moral-
ly committed to their goals, hop-
ing that their fulfillment will en-
courage constructive change.
Gould’s statement was made
simultaneously with an address
by Mayor Lindsay at Queens Col-
lege urging students to join the
resistance movements in order

to end the war, The contrast here
speaks for itself.

Every age thinks its crises the
most urgent; an occasional touch
of vanity is not unwarranted, The
current movements are not a
question of eccentric hippies,
flower children, or Twiggy-strag-
glers; they are sponsored by
earnest and concerned students.

A speech by Robert Kennedy at
Kansas State University is a wel-
come antithesis to Chancellor
Gould’s sentiments: ‘If our col-
lJeges and universities do not
breed men who riot and rebel,
who attack life with all the youth-
ful vision and vigor, then there
is something wrong with our col-

leges. The more riots that come
_on college campuses, the better
the world for tomorrow.’?

The Right Way

by Robert Iseman

The theory of open housing, as
it applies to the question of race
relations is something with which
most Americans agree. However,
many people resent the way the
issue is currently being handled.
Far greater than the fear of “the
Negro next door” is the threat
to individual liberties and rights
posed by the open housing pro-
vision of the 1968 Civil Rights
Act.

Although the goals of the Sen-
ate-passed bills are desirable,
the methods and implications of
the legislation are ominous. The
purpose of the bill is to elimin-
ate discrimination in the sale of
houses, and in the allotment of
loans to individuals for the pur-
pose of buying, building, or re-
pairing a house. Specifically af-
fected by the proposed law would
be real estate brokers, whoafter
December 1968 would not be al-
lowed to discriminate in selling
homes, regardless of their cli-
ents wishes, Builders of large
housing developments, apartment
house owners and private individ-
uals would also be forbidden to
discriminate.

Although the private home own-
er, acting independently without
a broker would be the least af-
fected, his course of action in
selling his home would still be
highly limited, They would be
prohibited from discriminating
particularly if he advertised in a

discriminatory fashion in news-
papers, signs etc.

Penalties for violation of the
Jaw would be fairly harsh. If a
person thought that he was the
target of discrimination he would
contact the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development. If infor-
mal discussion between the com-
plaintant and the defendant failed,
the case would be taken to court.
If convicted the defendant would
have to pay court costs, actual
costs, and punitive costs up to
$1000.

If the open-housing provision of
the bill is passed by the House
in its present form, it will do
more harm than good. Forcing
whites to sell to Negroes will do
nothing to solve the problems of
racism. It forces homeowners to
consider people as groups rather
than as individuals, precisely the
thing that the civil rights move-
ment is working against. Does it
serve the Negro’s interest or
help him enter a neighborhood
where he and his family would be
the target of name calling and
hate stares? It is the hostile
white neighborhood against which
the bill will work. If govern-
ment intervention is not neces-
sary to secure the home, the
chances are the Negro family will
be happy and socially accepted.
If this was not the case, and the
bill was used to force the sale,

(Continued on Page 14)

Both conservatives and liber-
als are alike in one way; they
are both ‘‘keepers of the faith,’”
(Sorry ‘bout that Adam.) Both
are committed to some historic
arrangement of human affairs,
be it the principles of private
enterprise,” or the American
version of the ‘democratic pro-
cess.” From my point of view,
it matters not which faith is ad-
hered to, the point is that both
groups ASSUME certain princi-
ples to be valid, invoking themas
both explanation and solution for
current difficulties.

Faced with rebellion at home,
conservatives bemoan the gen-
eral drift away from that ‘*indi-
vidual initiative’? exemplified by
capitalists and gunslingers of
old; faced with a sea of Asian
peasants wishing to rid them-
selves of the American Goliath,
liberals cry for more ‘¢demo~
eracy.’? (Ballot boxes and hot
dogs for the Vietnamese.)

Although oversimplified, this
two-choice view of the world is
essentially the difficulty of Amer-
ica today. We cannot, or will not
consider other alternatives. We
have become blinded by our own
history, be it the history of Wash-
ington or of the mortgage pay-
ments on that little shack in the
suburbs. Anything which departs
radically from*our reflex con-
cepts is seen as a threat to that
in which we have invested so
much of our faith, and willthere-
fore become the subject of attack
or derision. We are Pavlovian
dogs salivating at outmoded sym-
bols.

And those symbols are out-
moded. What is the spirit of pri-

vate enterprise to a parasite rid-
den peasant on the Mekong Delta?
Perhaps Vietnamese entrepren-
eurs should set up cotton planta-
tions with the aid of white slaves?
What surging majorities in how
many biracial communities have
taken it upon themselves to vote
the black man into full equality?
Could it be that our ‘‘great Amer-
ican principles’ are only valid
in a place called suburbia, and
then stamped ‘for whites only?”

Perhaps.

The point of all this is that
there neither was nor ever will
be a social form that is every-
where and forever valid. It was
fine to be a capitalist in the days
when America was young; men
of black and red skin let us get
away with treating them like an-
imals then, It is fine to hold elec-
tions when the choice is one of
tactics in an otherwise free so-
ciety. The point is that it is blind
folly to evoke those concepts
when the non-whites are in re-
bellion, and the ‘free society”
is reduced to Scarsdale. The
point is that it is suicidal, but
then that’s what we’re engaged

What then are the principles
that we are to invoke? What ban-
ners from our past shall we wave
in the face of this troubled world?
I am no historian, but I do re-
call something from my high
school history book. It runs some-
thing like ‘When in the course
of human events, .. .,”? and says
something about, — Revolution??
Good God, that sounds like some-
thing out of Marx! Isn’t there
some sort of law to protect our
nation’s youth from these sub-
versive ideas?

Review of the New Right Wing

by Ray Bertrand

View From The Behind

by M.D.S., and M.A.D.

Evere since the drug raid on
Stony Brook there has been much
speculation about such a raid on
S.U.N.Y.A. and the possibility
of undercover agents being sent
onto campus,

Most people, however, do not
know that a raid has already been
attempted on this campus.

Several weeks ago, two agents
from the Federal Narcotics Bu-
reau came onto campus disguised
as students with beards (what
else?)

Acting on a tip, they entered
Stuyvesant Tower pretending to
be looking for a rare record al-
bum entitled «The Parmesean
Polka and Other Folk Songs’?
by the Egg Plants.

Upon entering the elevator they
got their first clue that they
would find what they were look-
in for. Someone had put up asign
advertising the sale of all
“Plant”? albums, but that was
only of secondary interest to
them,

There was another mysterious
sign inviting alltrue‘‘believers”
to a ‘thing’? in a certain suite
at just that time.

They headed for the suite won-
dering about the obviousness of
such an invitation,

The door opned into a very
dark room and a shadowy figure

whispered ‘Quiet!”? Another sha-
dow breathed out of the side of
his mouth, “Keep it down! No
one must hear!?”

The agents giggled confidently
as they bumped into a wall of
soda cans.

“What's that?” one said.

“Shh!’? they are told. It is
then carefully explained to them
that they have bumped into the
largest number of the greatest
variety of soda cans in the entire
Tower.

The agents glance at each oth-
er, suspicious of such a
‘straight’ boast. Our two strang-
ers are now standing in the mid-
die of the floor withpreparations
going on all around them.

One agent asked the other if
he didn’t think he saw the shadow
of a girl. The other reassured
him, however, that it was prob-
ably just a hippie with long hair
with a ‘tyou know how some of
these guys are, . .”

Suddenly the phone rang and
the agents heard a hushed **Did
you get it??? §

“are you sure it’s fresh???

“OK, Hurry up. Everyone is
waiting.”

Preparations were speeded up.

The curtains were closed and
there was a frantic search for
new candles.

Someone started softly singing
“Everybody’s gotta get stoned”
and the agents gave each other a
nudge.

Everyone moved into one bed~
room as the one everyone had
been waiting for entered with a
huge box whose contents were
not disclosed.

The door is shut.

A group gathered in the cor-
ner quietly preparing for the rit-
ual,

There was a hush as the soft
glow of the candles began to light-
en the dark room a bit.

The agents were ready when
just then the door burst open
and one student was seen drag-
ging another in.

“Happy Birthday!’? everyone
screamed as a huge cake with
beautiful white frosting and mul-
ticolored flowers was produced
from the box with all of the can-
dles glowing from the top of it.

“Make a wish!’? ‘Blow the
candles out!’? are the yells in
the background as the agents des.
pondently edged out of the room
before the lights could be turned
on.

Oh well, Maybe on their way
out they stopped off to get their
copy of ‘*The Parmesan Polka
and other Folk Songs’? by the
Egg Plants.

For those of you who haven't
read anything save ‘North Viet-
nam’s Official Unbiased Report
on the War” in the last year or
So, we are approaching our na-
tional elections with celerity,
The race has been narrowed
down, by most authorities on the
subject, to five people: President
Johnson, Senator Eugene McCar-
thy and Senator Robert Kennedy
on the Democratic side, with for-
mer V P Richard Nixon as the
Republican contender, and for-
mer Governor George C, Wal-
lace of Alabama running for the
top post on his newly formed
American Independent Party.

What is our choice among these
candidates on domestic policy?
Not much, In fact, only Wallace
deviates from the status quo to
any great extent, Wallace wants
to eradicate the problem of riots
by a superior showing of brute
force, He loathes massive Feder-
al spending, but he advocates
massive state spending,

So actually, the only alterna-
tive Mr, Wallace offers is from
where the allocation of funds ori-
ginates. Big deal. Richard Nixon
is not a proponent of radical
changes in our welfare system
as was Goldwater four years ago.
But there are those who label
Nixon a conservative. He is clear-

not.

I find it difficult to visualize
any change in mid-summer urban
sports under Johnson, Kennedy or
McCarthy, unless liberals are
correct in assuming that the ma-
jor reason for riots is our Viet-
nam Policy. Johnson as Chief
Executive has exhibited all the
tendencies of a liberalDemocrat,
I doubt McCarthy or Kennedy
could get any more lavish in the
distribution of public funds,

The other major query is the
American role, if any, in Viet-
nam, A vote for George Wallace
is, supposedly, a vote for unleas-

Talk about civil rights! It ap-
pears to me that the most fla
grant violation of a person’s
civil rights is the failure of
civil authorities to protect his
private property. Such is the
ease at Albany State in the Col-

Since the beginning of this se-
mester, I have been the victim
of two robberies, while parked
in this parking lot.

Placement value: $108, These
two robberies have cost mea total
of $144,

But why? Evidently there is a
good used auto parts market in
the Albany area, specializing in
Albany State parts.

Why aren’t we getting suffi-
cient protection against these
theives from our campus secur-
ity? I know I am not the only
victim of these vandals, Other
students have had batteries and
tires stolen from their cars,

I am rather certain that these
“attacks” on our parking lots
will continue unless something
is done. Some measure of great-
er security for our parking areas
must be taken,

If this means the addition of
more security police, let it be,
if this means the patrolling of
our campus by State Police, Why
not?

If something is not done, and
soon, no car on campus will be
safe when parked overnight!

By the way, are you insured?

Rosenberg!

The level of Mr. Rosenberg’s
column, Off Center, reached a
new low last Friday. Iwas shock-
ed; I had heard most of these
views last year in the heat of
the June War from my non-Re-
gents high school students (with
the exception of the part about
the biasness of the American
State Department.) One does not
except too much independent sift-
ing of arguments from them but
one does expect more selectivity
and objectivity from a columnist
of the ASP,

Mr. Rosenberg’s article was
a masterpiece of confusion —
the American public attitude in
the thirties, the pervading State
Department policy andthe atroci-
ties of the Nazis were all whip-
ped up into an argument against
weighing the Arab point of view—
such fear of examination breeds
suspicion. Mr. Rosenberg’s ar-
ticle is of the same genre of
Negro extremism that creates
backlash — a race or religion
cannot flail its society with ac-
cusations of past abuses and guilt
and use these reasons as ‘carte
blanche” for present actions, I
am not advocating an attitude of
“forget the past, there’s nothing
we can do about it now’? but I
am afraid of the unhealthy emo-
tional response that will be creat-
ed from continuous indiscrim-
inate whipping.

I am so sorry that this par-
ticular article was printed; sure-
ly, the Israeli-Arab situation de-
serves coverage and related at-
titudes should be examined but
not on a perverted ‘*McCarthy””
level, especially in a university
paper.

Mary Ellen Brown

New Republic

I wish to raise a question
raised in a recent’ ‘New Re-
public’? article by the distinguish-
ed American historian, Henry
Steele Commager; that is, does
the university have the obliga-
tion to act as an employment
agency for all governmental, in-
dustrial, and other such organ-

It seems to me that although
the university has the right and
responsibility to make available
all such accommodations as are
of the nature of furthering the
educational enterprise, it is in
no way obliged to make facilities
available to those organizations
whose role is not that of educa-
tion or whose activities are con-
trary to the role of the educa-
tional institution. Recruitment by
such agencies as the C.1.A., the
Army, the Marines and the Dow
Chemical Corporation can in no
way show that they do not stand
for the exact contradiction of all
that for which the university
stands.

It is imperative that we recog-
nize that for the sake of conven-
lence we should not compromise
our integrity as an educational
institution. Organizations, agen-
cies and corporations whose ac-
tivities conflict with the princi-
ples of the educational institu.
tion ought to be encouraged to
rent space in local buildings or
utilize offices which they have
presently in the city of Albany.

I must emphasize that the key
word here is “obligation.” We
must not perpetuate the myth that
by an “open campus’? is meant
that the university has the obliga-
tion to permit anyone to recruit
for any organization under the
sun. We must not confuse the
freedom for the exchange of ideas
with the notion that this univer-
sity has no responsibility to ex-
ercise discretion in leading its
facilities to agencies who wishto
recruit on this campus,

James M, Stewart

Chesin Reviews

To The Editor:

In regard to your editorial of
March 15, 1968, ‘Call to Action,”
may I clarify for you what I
actually said.

I suggested that the University
had an identity of its own. In
other words, it is more than the
total of the individuals who in-
teract within the University Com-
munity.

The University, as an entity,
serves as a forum for open dis-
cussion. In order todo so, it must
remain neutral and involved
neither in a political nor social
sense in the world of action.

Although the individuals within
the academic community enjoy
the privilege of moving from the
world of thought to the world of
action, the University must re-
main open and neutral in order
to serve as a forum. Those who
would attempt to force the Uni-
versity into the realm of action
are indeed jeopardizing the very
function of the University.

T suggested that the University
is primarily an academic institu-
tion. It, therefore, must provide
an environment for the exchange
and consideration of ideas. It
functions primarily in the world
of thought.

The second major point of my
remarks at the inauguration cere-
monies focused upon the im-
personal environment within the
large University. Since no ques-
tion has been raised concerning
my views, I shall not take this
occasion to elaborate any further.

T hope these points will clarify
my position and clear up what I
consider to be a misunderstand-
ing of what I actually said.

Mudslinging

To the Editors

Undocumented mudslinging
does nothing to discredit the tar-
get; it only dirties the hands of
the pitcher. Last week, Ray Bert-
rand, in his column ‘Review of
the New Right Wing,” referred
to Stokely Carmichael and H,
Rap Brown as ‘hate-filled, com-
mie-loving, hammer-and-sickle
subyersives,’?

Certainly, the first charge is
true; the two men are full of

elally accepting the Black Man,
But I fail to see where Mr.
Bertrand has found supporting
evidence for the other two
charges,

He should realize that not
everyone who disagrees with his
views is a Communist. If Mr.
Bertrand candocumenthis views,
I should like to see his evidence,

In a post script to his column,
Mr. Bertrand said, ‘Fred Hal-
stead, Socialist Workers Party
candidate for U.S. President,
looks like a fat capitalist.’ What
Mr. Bertrand’s intention was in
making this judgment is unim-
portant.

What is important is that he
used the insulting pharasiology
of one who cannot intelligently
state his views. While the state-
ment did reveal Mr. Bertrand’s
disapproval of the Socialist re-
verting to Capitalistic measures,
it also revealed either an in-
ability or lack of interest in
presenting intelligent criticism,

If Mr. Bertrand wishes to state
his views intelligently, by all
means he should do so. But if
he slings mud, one can only
smirk,

High Dive?

To the Editor:

I wish to express my feelings
about a certain aspect of our
swimming pool. The pool is
beautiful and the atmosphere is
great. The diving boards are the
most expensive aluminum boards
with all that canbe offered by any
good boara. There are two one-
meter boards and a three-meter
board.

There’s only one problem —
you can’t use the “high” board.

If it can’t be used by us who
can use it? The diving team rare-
ly does, if at all. What is the
purpose of such an expensive
board? Display? Why build it if
it can’t be used? If there’s a
responsible life guard on duty
there should be no problem. I
know I would like to use it and
others probably would too. If
there is another problem involy-
ed it has not been told but I
would like to hear it.

| Invisible Man On Campus

Since I started writing this
column, there has been a good
deal of talk about thepseudonym,
I. Mock, that I was writing under.
Many people tried to make an
identification between the philo-
sophy that I have proposed, and
my choice of pen names.

I assure all of you that I am
writing this column in good faith,
and that I mean whatI say here.
I do suggest that those of you who
are interested in cryptography
explore the use of the initials in
Invisible Man On Campus.

There seems to be a growing
amount of impersonality on this
campus, much to the detriment
of most of the student body. Re-
cently, I have seen in approach
its logical extension; with the
treatment of an individual’as a
thing.

A leterary example of this was
Sabi Abulibdeh’s letter on M.J.
Rosenberg’s ‘Off Center.” The
physical examples were the
fraternity hell nights, which have
been taking place over the last
few weeks.

ing America’s superior military
capabilities in an all-out effort
for victory.

On what many consider the
brighter side, Mr. Wallace in-
tends to suppress the sedition
of the ‘intellectual morons’? on
college campuses and their anti-
war antics. Nixon, although he
remains relatively mysterious
as to how, says he will get us
out of Vietnam. Mr. Nixon has
always been regarded as a hawk.
Kennedy and McCarthy, for all
intents and purposes, stand for
the same thing, If either of them
rose to (or fell into) the role
of occupant of the White House,
a coalition government would
probably be formed in South Viet-
nam; a coalition including the
Communist Viet Cong. As forthe
incumbent Johnson, who knows?
He exhausts so much time un-
necessarily justifying our posi-
tion in Vietnam that very little
time remains for him to expound
his plans for the future. We must
therefore assume that he propos-
es a continuation of our present
“limited war!’ policy.

usual are offering candidates for

to hear one, Fred Halstead, (SWP)

an example, about poorly organiz-
ed thinking.

In his letter, Herb Greenblatt
takes great license in the repeat-
ed use of the terms black and
white in reference to people
(presumably races), It seems, he
hasn’t yet developed a sense of
colored blindness which will
allow him to consider people as
equals, instead of objects to be
distinguished from each other by
color.

It seems very strange that he
should write with such skill about
this very problem, while exhibit-
ing so.clearly the very symptoms
that he is writing about.

At the same time that I feel I
must criticize his effort, I also
congratulate him on a good idea
—working to dispell me idea that
the various races of Man be con-
sidered separately. All that is
needed is more intelligent con-
sideration to temper any of the
obvious extremist viewpoints
which could emerge from such
ideas,

Gennett
pe a consideration in what ic
supposedly a ‘free press,’ Our
press should be a showpiece for
what we students would like our
elders to think of us.

“lf I were Mr. Gennett, I would
not have embarrassed thosenear
and dear to me by publically
showing my unconcern for those
who do not wish to see lewdity
and -bawdiness in print. This
campus has reached a point of
moral decrepitude which is un-
bearable to the self-respecting
college student,

‘Anotner sign of the degener-
ation on our campus are the de-
generates themselves: Potter
Club, How a ‘man’ can stand in
Yezzi’s wearmg a black jacket
and ‘dress’ cong spitting on the
floor and using vile language is
beyond my comprehension, And
these are the people whoare seen
by outsiders and whose blatant
ignorance of good moral behav-
jor is pointed to as represen-
tative of college life here at Al-
pany.

“But, as for myself, I know
in my own soul that decent, mor-
al, church-going people still
exist here, and in these people
I take pride.”

Sincerely yours,

In all honesty, I must confess
that the preceding letter was my
own invention, However, to all
the “C,H, Lubo’s” who approach-
ed me in the past week complain-
ing about my ‘immoral’? column,
I have only one thing to say:
shove it!

The Forum

It’s All Greek To Me

by Maggie Dietz

In a university constantly eval-
uating traditional ideals and aug-
menting these bases: with new
functional concepts, the recent
report on ‘New Patterns of Un-
dergraduate Education’? should
be of greatest interest. In lieu
of the ‘pejorative images’? des-
cribed by the Committee, I have
suggested ‘‘The Forum.”

The Committee’s emphasis
that the focus of faculty - student
relationships should be concern-
ed with ‘intellectual processes,’?
rather than the fare of an ‘in.
tellectual cafeteria,’’ is a need-
ed definition of perspective. ‘‘In-
tellectual processes” implies an
active state of learning, exposi-
tory and expandable.

Commensurate with the themes
of ‘inquiry, creativity, rele-
vance, and involyement,’? is the
further development of interdis-
ciplinary studies. Departmentali-
zation has its merits in highly
specialized technical study. A
university, however, in provid-
ing an educational continuum for
its members, should take great
care in its stipulated definitions.
If we are trying to avoid pejor-
ative images, and if the student
is to have some choice in his

specialized fields of study, aca-
demic definition must be care-
fully chosen, The pejorative lab-
el of “The Pecking Order” is
supposed to be a thing of the
past.

The Committee’s rejection of
the ‘residential college concept”
for upperclassmen seems quite
valid; excellent reasons are stat-
ed. Historical examples mayalso
be alluded to; the day of the self-
sufficient feudal manor and ofthe
isolationist policy has, hopefully,
chrystallized for the purpose of
academic study and considera-
tion, rather than contemporary
education.

Among the Guiding Principles
discussed in the report, note is
made of the fact that, ‘the two
main sources of financial sup.
port for higher education are gov-
ernment and industry.’? These
sources, of course, reflect our
national, traditional heritage, de-
mocracy and capitalism, which
we have been taught to believe,
constitute the best of civilized
systems man has yet devised. We
should note, however, that a
three-way process is involved;
government, industry, andeduca.
tion are all influential andessen-
tial to each others’ existence,
Paradox is found in the idea that
our growing independence we’re
becoming more interdependent.

Concer: with the shortage of

Professors is coupled in the re-
port with the principles of ‘Sep-
aration of Evaluation from In-
struction.’ First attention here
should be given the Professor.
Whether he will be teaching inan
interdisciplinary area, or in a
specialized Departmental field,
two conditions may arise ifpoints
four and five of this section (Pro-
fessor does not grade student)
become reality.

First, the Professor will be
freed from the tedious demands
of a prescribed syllabus, Second,
however, he will have the respon.
sibility of spending time outside
of class with a student who may
ask for help because he has dif-
ficulty relating the principles
of an interdisciplinary study, or
because he has reached an im-
passe in an independent study
project.

The ultimate result of “Separ-
ation of Evaluation from Instruc-
tion’? would probably have no
perceptible change for the stu-
dent. Some arbitrary standard
for judging his work must be
drawn.

“‘De-emphasis of courses and
course credits’? seem to be the
most vital issue here. Arbitrary
systems must be established at
times, as inevaluatinga student’s
work, but perhaps an intellec-
tual community can formulate
some limits for arbitration. As-
signment of a specific number of
credit hours to a particular
course would seem educationally
self-defeating. Who can really say
what a course is ‘worth’ — in
general? in particular? Now,
really? Carrying higher educa.
tion to this kind of an arbitrary
level can make it quite a busi-
ness deal, on CREDIT, no less!

The Gregorian Calendar still
seems acceptable in 1968, Divi-
sion of the present ten-month
duration of two semesters into
three parts might well prove a
classically unifying factor.

In considering new systems of
attaining a goal, most of us have
been taught to select the best
points from each of the new pos-
sible methods, and to correlate
them with what is and has proven
useful, We then may attain the
goal in a more facile, interest-
ing and useful manner,

The three-year Master’s De-
gree program, as an option par-
allel to the two-year, upper-divi-
sion Bachelor’s Degree program,
is a much-needed addition. The
number of students transferring
to this university from two-year
Junior and Community Colleges
is fast increasing. The merits
of an incorporated Master’s De-
gree program have already be-

come manifest at other colleges
and universities. A major ad-
vantage at this university (praise
politics — for a change) is that
we do not arbitrarily have to ace
cept such a program,

The concept of the General
College, as stipulated in the re-
port, would depend in large part
upon the teachers and adminis-
trators who are a part of it. The
idea of stressing the ‘*more gen-
eral human and personal aspira-
tions of the student’ is of not-
able worth, because the General
College would exist for students
in their first two years of higher
education, I would, however,
question two things: 1, How well
would the General College pre-
pare the student for the demands
of upper-division study and 2.
To what extent would the possi-
ble variance of approach between
the General College and the De-
partmental System aid the stu-
dent in making choices in his fu-
ture field of study?

The Departmental Program
could provide a student with a
wealth of opportunity in a parti-
cular field. The conceivable re-
sults of the Departmental Pro-
gram, however, would seem at
odds with the purposes ofthe uni-
versity. Which is more impor-
tant, a department of study, or
the higher education of a student
who must live, work, and com-
municate in tomorrow’s world?

Independent Study has already
been begun, although mainly at
the Honors Level, As elucidated
in the report, independent study
is “both a philosophy anda meth-
od, and above all, a spirit or at-
mosphere in which this process
(the educational process) can de-
velop.’? Independent Study would
seem to be the New Pattern of
greatest worth. Two words tothe
student who now complains about
going to lecture classes, YOU
CAN’T,

In a world where our national
prestige, influence, and security
are dependent upon international
factors, the personal and public
need for an international bacca-
laureate are unquestionable.

The Experimental College may
sound, at present, like an experi-
mental idea. In itself, it is the
greatest innovation of the New
Patterns presented. It may well
be difficult to conceptualize now,
but perhaps we should consider
the changes that have takenplace
here in ten years. I would say
that in ten years, it will be very
interesting to see the progress
being made by the Experimental
College.

The Forum is a place of ex.

change, the ever-increasing,
ever-learning value of life.

Intermedia ’68 Revives
After Poor Beginning

by Robert B. Cutty

INTERMEDIA ’68 began disas-
trously. We’re quite pleased to
announce that some of theartists
involved in this mixed media ser-
ies have attempted to enact the
roles of professionals in their
performances,

Musician Terry Riley appeared
in concert in the Art Gallery on
Tuesday of last week. Though he
calls himself a composer, Riley
cannot be graced with this title
for he has not yet developedeith-
er the talent or the maturity to
write ‘music’?

All that Riley played were the
same sequences of notes in rig-
idly patterned melodies, chang-
ing only the keys. These were
played over and over again, first
on an instrument that he called
(incorrectly, I believe) a saxo-
phone, then ona vox organ, then
back to the other instrument for
his conclusion.

What was interesting about Ril-
ey’s concert were the technical
innovations that he brought tothe
playing of music. For his ‘‘saxo-
phone” numbers, Riley hada tape
recorder playing that recorded
his ‘music’? as he played it.

Wilson Exhibit
Begins April 1
In Art Gallery

An exhibition of seventeen
new works by artist William H.
Wilson will be shown in the Art
Gallery of the University begin-
ning April 1. On exhibit will be
sixteen ofl paintings and a leather
relief construction done by the
artist within the past year, allon
the theme of Women.”

Wilson, an Associate Profess-
or of Art at the University, was
educated at William and Mary
College and the Cranbrook Acad.
emy of Art in Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan, from which he receiv.
ed his

He has exhibited in ten one
man shows, including one in
Mexico City, and his recent one,
last year at the University. He
has won numerous prizes in re.
gional shows, including a $500
purchase prize last year at the
Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield,
and his works are part of the
collections of the Schenectady
Museum, the Albany Institute of
History and Art, and Berkshire
Community College.

Due to the noise in the
Rathskeller, ‘SOUNDS
UNLIMITED” will per-
form in the west end of
the cafeteria. The times
for the shows will be
Mon.-Thurs. 8 and 10
pem.; Fri. 8, 9:30, and
11 p.m.; Sat. 8, 10, and
11:30 p.m.

The tape on this recorder was
fed into a second recorder that
played his Oriental-sounding mel-
odies just a few seconds after
he had played them, As he would
be at this time playing a dif-
ferent note-sequence of the mel-
ody, the effect was to create a
surprisingly pleasant range of
dissonant harmonies.

For his organ playing, Riley
did pretty much the same thing:
sequences in the upper hand were
played against sequences in the
lower. This playing of treble
against base, using the vibra-
ting chord keys of the organ,
produced a powerful beat that vir-
tually hypnotized the audience,

The best of all the INTERME-
DIA artists were those compris-
ing the Judson Church Group,
whose talents were displayed the
night following Riley’s concert,
and, like his, this performance
was staged in the Art Gallery.

Choreographer - dancer Remy
Charlip was responsible totally
for all staging and choreography,
and danced during several num-
bers. His work canbe summed up
as thoroughly professional and
sensationally well-executed: his
dancing was very dramatic, ex-
pressing perfectly every human
emotion, mood, and action.

Composer of most of the music
was the Reverend Al Carmines
of the Judson Church in Green-
wich Village. His tunes were set
to several fairly cynical poems
and were properly simple and
ironic, His singing and piano-
playing added most effectively
to those moods of restrained sar-
casm.

Professional dancer Aileen
Passloff performed with Charlip
in all of the numbers in which
he appeared but two (one being
an awful solo in which Charlip

demonstrated his inability to
sing). Her movements were
graceful and eloquent, except for
one number.

In this particular piece (set
to two well-known tunes by Tchai-
kovsky), Miss Passloff perform-
ed in solo, and this proved to
be a mistake. For, Charlip’s
choreography was much too vig-
orous and masculine for Miss
Passloff alone: it would have
been better had Charlip danced
this number himself,

Others in the company must be
congratulated: Lee Guilliat, for
her lovely, subtly dramatic sing-
ing; George Montgomery, for his
amusing, laconic comments on
the absurdity of modern man(his
actions, institutions, and lan-
guage), war, and, even, poetry,
itself; and John Patrick Dodd, for
his imaginative, beautiful light-
ing arrangements.

The performance was not a
complete success: Andrew Rom-
an’s tenor voice provedto be very
disquieting, while the pallid and
toneless singing and poetry-read-
ing of Burton Supree definitely
constituted the worst moments of
the whole evening.

If additional praise was to be
heaped upon the company, the
bulk of it should certainly go to
Charlip, for the quality of his
dancing, staging, and choreo-
graphy could never be praised
enough, Carmines is certainly
due additional mention for his
beautifully inspired tune for ‘‘one
poem from ‘The Song of Solo-
mon.??

I have only one general com-
plaint to make regarding the Jud.
son Church Group: their perfor-
mance was too short. Certainly,
a group blessed with such pro-
fessional talent could have put to-
gether a longer show.

American poet Robert Wailace will read selections from his
works on Tuesday evening, April 2, in the Campus Center

Assembly Holl.

Statesmen Conclude
Busy Concert Year

After some twelve concerts al-
ready this season, the Statesmen
from the University, are having
an extremely busy 16th anni-
versary year. In September the
group performed three concerts
at the Montreal World’s Fair.
The groups performing at the
Fair included bands, orchestras,
and choruses from throughout the
world, and the ones invited repre-
sented a select minority of the
many who applied.

One of the highlights of the
Spring Season will be an appear-
ance as guest performers at the
Union College Memorial Chapel
in Schenectady tonight and at
Chancellor’s Hall in Albany on
Monday, April 1.

The Statesmen will perform
with the Thursday Musical Club
in Schenectady and with the Mon-
day Musical Club in Albany. Both
are women’s choruses which have
been in existence for some 50
years, presenting several con-
certs each year.

The University Satesmen feel
highly honored in receiving the
invitation to join forces with these
fine groups who are under the

String Ensemble

Presents Concert

The third concert by the Ameri-
can String Trio, artists in resi-
dence at the University, will be
presented in the Art Gallery on
Monday evening, April 1, at 8:30.
The program, open to the public
without charge, with be coordinat-
ed with the preview of an exhibi-
tion in the Art Gallery by the
Artists of Central New York and
an exhibition by William H.
Wilson.

The trio, composed of Marvin
Morgenstern, violin; Karen
Tuttle, viola; andJohn Goberman,
cello, will perform a Beethoven
Trio; the Trioby Felice Giardini,
opus 20, number 5; and the pre-
miere of the String Trio, number
2 by Claus Adams, commissioned
by the American String Trio.

direction of Miss Helen Henshaw.
Miss Henshaw has received much
recognition for her ability as both
an organist and choral director.

The Statesmen will be featured
in two groups of numbers and will
join the ladies in performing
Randall Thompson's ‘Alleluia’?
and the stirring ‘Hail Bright
Abode”? from Tannhauser by Ric-
hard Wagner.

Karl Peterson, Professor of
Music and Director of the States-
men, feels that this year’s group
of Statesmen is exceptional. They
are planning to do an informal
pops concert some Friday after-
noon on the stairway of the
Campus Center and appearing
with the band on Parent’s Day.

Peterson stated that there will
be places available in all sections
of the Statesmen next fall and
anyone interested should see him
about auditions as soon as pos-
sible.

Robert Wallace
To Read Poetry

Robert Wallace, the American
poet, will read selections from
his works in an evening of poetry
on Tuesday, April 2, in the
Campus Center Assembly Hall.
The program, presented by the
English Department, will begin
at 8:15.

Professor Wallace, winner of
the 1958 William Rose Benet Me-
morial Award presented by the
Poetry Society of America and of
the 1965 Bragdon Prize, is the
author of “Views From A Ferris
Wheel,’? published by Dutton and
now in its third printing.

His other volumes include“Un-
gainly Things,” coming out next
month, and ‘This Various World
and Other Poems,” published by
Scribner's.

The poet holds degrees from
Harvard and Cambridge Univer-
sity, and is now as associate
professor at Western Reserve
University.

The Patroon Lounge is currently housing an exhibit of sculp-
ture by John Cunningham.

Tops Concert
Tonight In
Gym

The Four Tops, a group with
a tremendous knack for record-
ing million sellers, will per-
form in concert tonight as part
of Sophomore-Junior Weekend,
‘The performance will be in the
new gymnasium, and tickets are
still on sale in the Campus Cen-
ter, Tickets are $2.00 with stu-
dent tax cards and $4.00 without
tax.

The group is comprised of
Abdul Fakir, Levi Stubbs, Ren
aldo Benson, and Lawrence Pay-
ton. The four members formed
the Tops in 1954 and have re-
mained together ever since.

They sing pop, country and
western, modern jazz, and rock,
Their songs include the chart
breaking “Baby I Need Your
Loving,” “Reach Out 1’ll Be
There,” ‘Bernadette,’ “It’s
The Same Old Song,” “I Can’t
Help Myself,’ and ‘‘Rooms of
Gloom.”

Paul Drew relates, on the back
of one of the Tops record albums,
that Beatle member Paul
McCartney mentioned that there
was ‘a song that really turned
him on.’’ He sang a few bars of
it, and it was “Baby I Need
Your Loving.”

The Four Tops perform with
a certain creativity, vitality, and
ability. Their appearance here
tonight should not be missed.

New Arts Group
To Form Soon

A new arts-special events group
is preparing to organize on cam-
pus, A spokesman for the group
said that an organizational meet-
ing has been set for Monday,
April 1, at 7:30 p.m, in the Hu-
manities Building, room 258,

‘The first goal of this group is
to produce original motion pic-
tures on campus, These pictures
would be written and directed
by students, with student cine-
matographers, editors, and other
technical personnel,

The second goal of the group
is to present student-directed
plays and-or readings, It is hop=
ed and expected that original
works by students could be among
the dramatic productions of this
group,

It has been sug-
gested that this new organiza-
tion would be an unsuccessful
welding of two entirely different
groups and should be split be-
fore a constitution is written,

Sounds Unlimited will be the third group sponsored by the
will perform in the Campus Center Rathskeller.

Blood, Sweat and Tears

Fourth Time Around

by Igor Koroluk

Last week I sounded off about
where music is headed, and I
think it was exactly what was
needed to clear my head, Music
is happening again and in glori-
ous ways with ‘Blood, Sweat and
Tears.”

This was the group I wrote
about earlier this year — the
one formed by Al Kooler and
Steve Katz of the “Blues Pro-
ject.” Well, their first album,
“Child Is Father To The Man
(Columbia),” is finally out, and
it is nothing short of fantastic,
It’s all here in full glory with
horns, soul chorus, and string
ensemble,

When Kooper was forming the
group he said he was aiming for
a new “soul’’ sound, non R and
B soul, and no one knew what
he was talking about, In this al-
bum, “B, S and T’ does just
exactly that — they have soul but
it goes beyond R and B, Some
will say it’s jazz and in a way
it is but not really, if that makes
any sense, The record is beyond
description and superlatives, Do
yourself a favor and listen, and
I do mean LISTEN, Don’t let it
get by you.

Len Chandler is a painter of

moods, His songs can soar you
through the skies and then drop
you into a pit of sorrow, love all,
laugh, and enjoy yourself, When
he is not fooling around, he can
be the most personal sort of en-
tertainer. He can be one who
really gets into you and makes
you aware of yourself, Those
who saw him perform last Satur-
day knew it — they were, infact,
part of the Len Chandler magic,

Chandler still takes protest as
his mainstream, As he puts it,
“Protest may be out, but then
it was never in,’’ His by-word is
“don’t be cool,’ and he really
gets it through to his audience,
and they love it and him,

His music is superb, and his
execution perfect without becom-
ing stereotyped, Of course, his
former music training does help
—he holds a Masters in music
from Columbia andhas been play-
ing seriously since nine, Never-
theless, Len Chandler is not a
musician, but an actual person
when he is out on stage, He is
somebody to rap with, not hold
‘a awe; somebody you can really

Jean-Luc Godard

Films

by Dave Bardwell

To some, a Jean-Luc Godard
film is not esthetic, but anesthe-
tic, Godard confounds and con-
fuses us, refusing to be specific
when we want data, then capri-
ciously picking up particles of
detail when we crave an abstrac-
tion, He is not afraid to take un-
disciplined risks; he wants to
see how far cinema can be
stretched, Godard is exciting
partly because in his films the
director-audience _ relationship
is the most precarious in all of
contemporary cinema,

Films like ‘Masculine Fem-
inine’’ bother a lot of people be-
cause on the one hand, the nar-
rative structure is fragmented,
open-ended, and baffling; on the
other, because some long dia-
logue exchanges are shot with a
fixed camera that obstinately re-
frains from cutting into the scene.
We must realize, I think, that
Godard has simply no interest
in ‘telling a story.” His aim is
revelation of character and con-
veyance of a mood, That’s really
what ‘Masculine Feminine’? is
all about: the young people of
now, the mood of now.

The film centers on Paul, a
young man just back from the
army, and his wooing of Made-
leine, a pop singer. He per-
suades her to go to bed; she be-
comes pregnant; Paul falls from
a balcony (suicide or accident,
it’s never made clear); that’s it,
And most of these actions take

place offscreen, What, then, is
the film really about? It’s about
Viet Nam, James Bond, Pepsi-
Cola, violence, sensuality, Dy-
lan, admass prose, and loneli-
ness — seen in ‘15 precise Ac-
tions,” with Brechtian inter-
spersed titles, bursts of violent
action, and a soundtrack that al-
ternately coos and scrapes,

The characters are ambiguous-
ly absurd, The males have their
petty rages, impassioned intel-
lectualism, and Troskyite braga-
doccio; the girls their pert coif-
fures and ye-ye sexiness. Godard
obviously likes them, but he’s
aware of their frequent silli-
ness, so the presentation is not
free of irony. Paul is “unable to
be alone. .. a prey to boundless
authority 24 hours a day’? while
Madeleine is a passive masscult
object, a consumer product, Only
Paul senses that they live in a
world of lies, gratuitous vio-
lence, and loss of feeling, (The
abrupt deaths are unnerving not
because of their suddenness, but
because of the bystanders’ im-
passive reactions.) These are
«the children of Marx and Cola-
Cola,”

Cinematically, the film is aus-
tere, with much fine traveling-
work and some available-light
shooting in the Bus Palladium so
evocative you can smell steam-
ing coffee. Moreover, ‘‘Mascu-
line Feminine” is mostly free of
Godard’s usual gamut of in-jokes,

At the movies, Paul thinks, ‘What
of the film we all carried in our
hearts, the film we all wanted
to make... the filmweall want-
ed to live, . .”? In early Godard
this would be a snickering ref-
erence to his New Wave chums;
but here — so fully has he es-
tablished this world of pop cul-
ture — it fits just right.

In a film with so much dialogue,
the actors must be good, These
are excellent, (I liked especially
Jean-Pierre Leaud as Paul and
Catherine Isabelle Duport as the
charming Catherine.) They are
best at the pivot-points of the
film, two long conversations be-
tween two couples, Battle-of-the-
sexes sparring, youthful banali-
ties, unspoken tenderness, sud-
den cruelties, feigned nonchal-
ance — they’re all here, mascu-
line -feminie - masculine - fem-
inine, creating the mostaccurate
rendition of the way our gener-
ation now acts thai I have seen,

Ultimately, then, “Masculine
Feminine’? got to me because
Godard, better than any other di-
rector, has captured precisely
what it is like to be twenty-one
at this instant of civilization,
This may ultimately be the film's
loss as major art; it may date
very quickly, But for us, now, it

Fred Neil, although not well

in the music community. His in-

younger writers and musicians,
He is basically a blues man, but
he has words which transcend
this form (listen to ‘'The Dolph-

sides his words there is quite a
lot of good backup music going on
with some very excellent music-

Wis. Continues

Open Campus

Madison, Wis. (CPS) — By an
overwhelming voice vote the Un-
iversity of Wisconsin faculty has
decided to continue to allow re-
eruiters — military and other~
wise — on the campus.

Wisconsin was rocked by a ma-
jor demonstration against Dow
Chemical Company recruiters
last fall, Police were called into
deal with the demonstrators.

A student-faculty committee
set up after the demonstration
recommended that the university
drop all recruiting. Eight mem-
bers of the committee — three
faculty and five students — voted
in favor of ending all recruiting,

But a minority, four faculty
and two students, voted to keep
recruiting, provided that a stu-
dent - faculty committee would
be set up to avoid violence in
specific cases, even if it meant
having a particular recruiter go
off campus. That minority re-
port was approved by the faculty
this week.

Narcotics On Campus Explored In Interviews

(Continued from Page 6)
present themselves to us, ob-
viously.

“This Student Health Service
feels that marijuana isatpresent
the major drug abused on col-
lege campuses. Students are, for-
tunately, rather aware of the haz-
ards of ‘speed’ (methedrine),
L.S.D. and other hallucinogens,

“*Yet in fact, marijuana, in
its own subtle and insidious fash-
jon, is creating more problems
for more individuals and is
by no means the innocuous
substance it is too often
pur ported to be.

“While many legaland medical
authorities would like to see
some mitigation of penalitles for
possession of marijuana, respon-.
sible consensus is strongly op-
posed to legalization which would
lead to the use of hashish which
is five times as potent as mari-
juana currently in use in this
country.”

Dangerous drug abuse is
covered in Article 220 of
the Penal Law of the State
of New York under Title M—
offenses against public
health and morals.

Unde® this section there are
four major types of dangerous
drugs:
1, Narcotic drugs which in-
clude opium, heroin, cocaine,
morphine and marijuana.

2, Depressant drugs (barbit-
uates).

3. Stimulant drugs (ampheta-

mines).

4, Hallucinogenics (L.S.D.,
Psylosybin, peyote, mescaline).

The following is a summation
of Article 220 of the Penal Law
of the State of New York:
Section 220.05, Criminal
Possession of a dangerous
drug in the fourth degree.

Guilty when a person knowing
jy and unlawfully possesses a
dangerous drug. Class A — Mis-
demeanor (maximum sentence 1

year)
Section 220.10 Criminal
Possession of a dangerous

drug inthethird degree.

A person guilty if he possess-
es a dangerous drug with intent
to sell the same, Class E felony
(Maximun sentence 14 years.)

Section 220.15 Criminal
Possession of a dangerous
drug in the second degree.

A person is guilty when he
possesses a narcotic drug.

1, with intent to sell; or

2, consisting of (a) 25 or more

cigarettes containing canna-

bis (Marijuana): or (b) one-

quarter ounce or more con-
taining any cannabis. . +

Class D felony (maximum sen-

tence 7 years)
Section 220.20 Criminal
Possession of a dangerous
drug in the first degree.

A person is guilty when he
possesses a narcotic drug con-
sisting of (a) 100 or more cig-
arettes containing cannabis or
(b) one or more ounces contain-
ing cannabis. Class C felony
(maximum sentence 15 years).
Section 22.25 Criminal
Possession of a dangerous
drug-presumption.

The presence of a dangerous
drug in an automobile ... is
presumptive evidence of . . «
possession thereof by each and
every person in the automobile
at the time the drug was found...
Section 220.30 Criminally
selling a dangerous drug in
the third degree.

A person is guilty when he
sells (gives, offers, barters) a
dangerous drug. Class D felony
(maximum sentence 7 years.)
Section 220.35 Criminally
selling a dangerous drug in
the second degree.

A person is guilty when he
sells a narcotic drug. Class C
felony (maximum sentence 15
years),

Section 220.40 Criminally
selling a dangerous drug in
the first degree.

A person is guilty when he
sells (gives, offers, barters) a
narcotic drug to a person less
than twenty-one years old. Class
B felony (maximum sentence 25
years.)

The concern over narcotics on
campus has also been a topic of
several memorandums sent out
from the office of the Chancellor
of the State University of New
York system.

In a memorandum released by
Chancellor Gould, it was stated
that ‘the regulations on each
campus shall expressly forbid
the illegal use of narcotics and
dangerous drugs on campus, and
the regulations further shall
make clear that the institutions,
through cooperation with approp-
riate health and law enforcement
agencies, will provide no sanc-
tuary for those who violate State
and Federal narcotic laws,’

In the same memorandum
Chancellor Gould discussed the
issue of the presence of unauth-
orized personnel on campus:

“The regulations on eachcam-

pus shall include the manner by
which campus visitations by non-
students shall be authorized and
supervised, Since such persons
are not subject to University
sanctions, the procedures by
which such privileges are grant-
ed shall be developed in accord-
ance with the Penal Law.’?

“Under Section 240,35, a per-
son is guilty of loitering when he
loiters or remains in or about a
school, college or university
building or grounds, not having
any reason or relationship in-
volving custody of or responsi-
bility for a pupil or student or
any other specific, legitimate
reason for being there and not
having written permission from
anyone authorized to grant the
same,””

The University Councilalsois-
sued a statement on February 8,
1967 stating that ‘the University
complies with all existing fed-
eral, state and local statutes.’?

Of all those interviewed
and all policy statements
issued, four major considera-

the probable result and the Ne-
gro will gain nothing.

The bill also limits, if not de-
stroys the right of the individual
to dispose of his private proper-
ty as he sees fit. It may sound
harsh, but if a person wants to.
discriminate in the sale of his
property he should have the right
to do so. When the government
begins to put ifs, ands, and buts
around the cherished American
right to private property it is
time for all Americans to take
notice and act.

By act I don’t mean the storm-
trooper tactics of the bearded
wonders, rather we must all,
within peaceful democratic pro-
cess make the legislators in
Washington realize that we will
not yield our right to property

2. That cooperation with

the problem is to be dealt
with effectively.

3. That, although the Uni-
versity will attempt to help

use of marijuana or other
hallucinogens, the University
has an obligation to respect
all federal, state and local

Baseball Hopes Buoyed
By New Sophs, Juniors

It is a rare occasion when
a college coach does not have
to count upon unseasoned or un-
tried players because of grad-
uations from the prior year,

‘Albany baseball coach Burling-
ame is no exception and yet, his
‘“ynseasoned”? hopefuls — shape
‘ap in his words as “possibly the
strongest squad I’ve ever had,””

Up from the freshman team
of last year are six sophs led
by Jim Sande,

Sande, an outstanding pros-
pect behind the plate, was first-
string catcher for. the fall base-
pall team and impressed Bur-
lingame as a sure starter for
this spring, ‘He could be the
best potential backstop since Dick
Odorizzi,’” commented the coach.
Odorizzi was a three - year
varsity player for Albany who
compiled an overall .372 batting
average for State. “I would even
say that Jim is faster and has

a better arm than Odorizzi,’’
added the coach,

Another soph with chances of
seeing much action is second
base prospect Tom Decker, He
wielded a big bat for the fresh-
men last year and can also play
in the outfield,

A soph with a good chance to
tie down the vacant third base
job is Steve Flood, Coach Bur-
lingame will look to two sophs,
right hander Richie Spiers and
lefty Dick Bardeschewski to
back up five returning lettermen
in the pitching corps. Barry
Blake, another soph, is also in
contention for the catching
chores,

Albany will not rely solely
upon sophomores as there are
three upperclassmen with good
varsity credentials, Junior Tim
Denman, a catching prospect,
played frosh ball but was hurt
last year.

Linksmen Face Season
With Four Lettermen

by Everett Colman

As the spring finally begins
to make its mark here in Albany,
the State golf team is being or-
ganized for the 1968 season, The
team, guided by Coach Richard
“Doc” Sauers,’? has a schedule
that includes eight matches and
the important Capital City Tour-
nament.

Twelve men have been working
with Coach Sauers at the indoor
setup in the Physical Educa-
tion building and. will continue
this until practice can be held
outside. Although last year the
team was plagued with no seniors,
this spring the linksmen will have
four returning lettermen on a
seven-man squad, This exper-
ience is indeed the best advan-
tage that the team has.

Four Man Nucleus

The nucleus of the squad will
therefore consist of four men.
A senior who transferred from
Delhi Tech last year, and an
outstanding golfer is Craig
Luthor, one of the sharpest men
on the course last year. Consis-
tently shooting in the 70’s, Luthor
should be ready for a fine sea-
son,

Brian Hill, a junior, was one
of last year’s starting six, and
also had a good season. He and
Ray McCloat, a senior who will
be stroking with the linksmen
for the third year, are two men
to be watched,

Finally there is Bill Pender-
gast, another'senior and three-
year man, Having two years ex-

perience on the squad, ‘Bill is -*

looking forward to competition
again this year.

Others trying out are Dave
Breiter.who played last year and
Gary, Turton, a transfer from
_ Hudson Valley.

‘The first match will be held
on April 16, 1968, away at:Cen-
tral Connecticut State. There will
also be two other contests dur-
ing the Spring Vacation. Follow-

ing Spring vacation will be a
match against Oneonta and New
Paltz to be held at the Mac-
Gregor Golf links in Saratoga,

The freshmen squad is also
being organized; Coach Bill
Schiefflin is now working out with
twelve prospects for the team,

EEP Finally Scored Upon
Bad News Takes Two Points

In AMIA League I bowling action this past weekend, Potter Club was finally scored

upon as they

gave up two points to the Bad News (5). Bob Kellar led the Bad News

(5) with a 579 series. The Shafts, led by Al Giles with a 572 series and Tony Romano,
who registered a three-game total of 567, stayed on the heels of Potter as they were
able to capture all seven points in their match.

In gaining five points, Potter was led by Ray McCloat who registered a 555, and by

Tom Piotrowski and Roger
Cudmore who recorded
identical 546 series.

Al Giles of the Shafts has
been the top bowler through-
out most of the season, and with
help from Tony Romano (also in
the top ten) has kept the Shafts
close to Potter. The men of the
club have maintained three stea-
dy bowlers in the top ten through
most of the year. Roger Cud-
more, Tom Piotrowski and Ray
McCloat have bowled consistent-
ly, thus keeping Potter at the
top of the league.

Club to Start Practice

Albany State’s newly formed
Sailing Club will make its debut
Saturday April 6 when they will
be competing in the New York
Metropoliton Novice tournament
at Kings Point. The Club which
was organized by Dr. Curtis Hem-
enway and Charles Bowman, pre-
sently consists of approximately
30 members. If these some 18
have. had previous sailing exper-
fence, and 8 have actually raced
in competition.

The Mohawk campus will be the
club’s home base, and compe-
titive sailing will probably be
done in the Mohawk river, Equip-
ment consists for four teck

dinghies, and seven 420’s which.

just arrived this Monday. The
club has had little actual prac-
tice thus far, but with the arrival
of the 420s and the melting of
the ice at Mohawk, the club
hopes to be able to hold trials

before the first match,

Dr. Hemenway has stated that
the Sailing club will welcome
all newcomers, however, he em-
phasizes that sailing takes con-
siderable know-how. For this rea-
son all Sailing club members,
must pass a swimming profi-
diency test, and a written test
based onthe text ‘Basic Sailing,’”
which is available at the book.
store,

The Sailing club presently
plans to be involved in three
areas of activity: instructional,
recreational, and intercollegiate
competition, Dr. Hemenway has
emphasized the fact that Sailing
is one sport in which Albany
State can step right into Ivy
League quality competition.

The Sailing club also has
arranged a, fall schedule, to com-
pliment its spring schedule, and
it hopes to be able to schedule
home regattas by next spring.

As the University’s enrollment grows, it is- fitting
and proper that AMIA should expand and grow propor-
tionally, and this, it is doing. The AMIA basketball
season will finish up this weekend, after a final flour-
ish of activity unprecedented in past years. On Sunday
there were two divisional playoffs, and on Tuesday
the division leaders played off for the championships
in all four leagues. The first round of the Commission-
ers Cup tournament was played Thursday, withthe semis
scheduled for this Sunday, and the finals for Monday at
9 p.m. The real culmination of the season, however,
will be the first Capital District extramural tournament
which is scheduled to start Tuesday at RPI.

All in all the AMIA basketball season has to be clas-
sified as a success. For the first time in history
League I was split into two divisions, as were the
other three leagues, resulting in the largest schedule
ever. The late opening of the new gym did curtail
schedule, and confine the players to Page for the first
half of the season, but Leagues I & II did finish up
their schedules in new and spacious quarters, and the
outlook for next year is quite promising. Amazingly
enough most of the leagues were fairly equal, as few
teams managed undefeated seasons, and few went win-
less. The officiating was somewhat improved, but some
officials seemed to have a tendency to spectate, rather
than control the game. Perhaps this might be remedied
by instituting a rating system for officials.

The coming softball season will also be certain to re-
flect the increased enrollment, but there are sey-
eral problems that will have to be overcome. First of
all there are no real softball fields. The present plan
is to play leagues I-III] on grass field at the new cam-
pus, with League IV (a freshman league) on the old
campus. Another problem is the Spring recess, which
comes right when the softball season should be start-
ing. This has resulted in pushing the starting date for-
ward to April 3, which in view of the normal Albany
weather, is truly amazing optimism. If we have a rainy
or chilly spring, the softball schedule may be wiped out.

Now that we have the new facilities, the scope of
AMIA activity will be greatly expanded. A new innova-
tion is the AMIA swim meet which will be held this
Monday and Wednesday in the new pool. The annual
track and field day is also being planned for some-
time this spring, while this coming fall will witness a
real expansion. Volleyball is scheduled for the auxiliary
gyms, while squash and handball may also be organ-
ized on a team basis. There is even a possibility of do-
ing something with badminton.

Another sign that the intramural program is expand-
ing is the fact that AMIA officials are now considering
the possibility of dividing their program into fraternity
and independent divisions. All that is needed for this to
become a reality is evidence that there are sufficient
independent teams to handle it.

The institution of AMIA swim-
ming demonstrates the fact that
AMIA will now be able to expand
tremendously to take full advan-
tage of the new gym,

Potter Club Scores Sweep
Wins Decisively In I&II

Potter Club teams romped to easy wins Tuesday night in both the League I and the
League II championship games. Amazingly both of the winning teams had been forced
into play-offs before winning their divisions, but the finals left very little doubt as to the
top team in either league. In League I action Potter combined a hustling, alert defense
with some fine outside shooting to score an easy 44-28 win over APA,

The Club jumped into an early lead and was never headed. With Jim McVea popping

Joe Nicolella uses a pick

to good advantagein one of the

last regular season AMIA contests.

Capital District schools will meet

cials felt that they should finish
their regular schedule before
picking teams for the tournament,

‘The two teams that will repre-
sent Albany were chosen by the
League I captains, and are di-
yided by ability into a first and
a second team, The first team,

from the outside, and
George Webb scoring from
underneath, Potter stead-
ily built its lead, while
APA panicked.

Utilizing a tight man-to-
man tokeepAPA away from
the basket Potter built a
21-13 halftime margin, and went
on to outscore APA by the same
margin in the second half, Mc-
Vea had 12 and Webb 10 for
Potter, while Elldn led the way
for APA with 7.

In the League Il final Potter
showed a strong bench, as they
fast broke out of apressing zone,
and dashed to an impressive
23-9 half time lead.

Potter went cold in the sec-
ond half, and KB regrouped its
forces to come on strong at
the end, but Potter’s early lead
proved insurmountable, and the
final was Potter 39, KB 30, Pot-
ter’s scoring was extremely well
balanced, as Jim Curley led with
10 and Fred Nelson followed with
9. Bruce Herring led KB with 7,

In the League IV championship
game, also played Tuesday night,
the Flying Jabones demolished
the Rotors by a 53-24 count, Dave
Mosher. led the Flying Js with
15, while Joe Hleboski chipped
in with 13, Dave Deeb was high
man for the Rotors with 8,

Potter I earned its spot in
the championship by dumping
KB by a 47-34 count on Sunday,
Here too, Potter jumped into an
early lead and led throughout,
High men for Potter were Joe
LaReau with 14 and George Webb
and John Soja who each hit for
10, KB was led by Dave Gold-
stein who clicked for 14,

Potter II got into the finals
by upending TXO, in their play-
off, by a 40-31 count. John Rod-
gers led Potter with 12, while
Jim Curley hit for 9, TXO’s
high scoring duo of Cas Galka
and George Margan were held
to 12 and 9, respectively,

With the league championships
out of the way AMIA basketball
now turns to the annual Commis-
sioners Cup tournament, The
first round was held Thursday,
The semi-finals are set for Sun-
day at 8 and 9, with the finals
on Monday at 9 p,m,

Last year a League II team
won the tournament, but that does
not seem likely this time. Pot-
ter I has to be the favorite,
with the Barons as a dark horse
candidate,

Track Club Shaping Up
Brandeis 1st Opponent

by Phil Galvin

The Albany State Track Club
will compete in its first meet
on Saturday April 6 at Brandeis
College. Coach Munsey feels that
the team is strongin some events,
is improving in others, and can
not yet determine its strength
in still others, as men have not
yet been able to practice certain
events, such as the pole vault,

The team’s strongest events
at this point are the half mile,
mile, and the two mile. Leaders
in the 880 are Dick Horowitz,
Joe McAndrews, Tom Mills
and Paul Roy. In the mile and
two mile Larry Frederick, Don
Myers, Pat Gepfert, George Roll-
ing and Mike Attwell are the
main competitors.

Munsey feels that the sprints
will improve as the weather be-
comes warmer. Basil Morgan,
Mike Nolan, and Terry Mathias
will be the main competitors

in the 100 and 220, while Frank
Myers, Mike Nolan and Don Bee-
vers show the most promise
in the 440,

Coach Munsey feels that the
Performance of the field men is
an unanswered question, Royce
Van Evera, Stef Smigiel, and Don
Beevers head the list in the jave-
lin, discus and shotput. Dick
Moschenberg, Gary Torino and
Scott Price show the most pro-
mise in the high jump and the
triple jump. Few men are out
for the hurdles, Kevin O’Dell
and Joe Ingrassia are the lead-
ers.

Over forty men are still out
for track, and coach Munsey feel
that spirit and moral are high,
and that the team is working hard, —
If there is improvement in the
weights and in the hurdles, he
feels that the team will become
strong and will be capable of
winning meets,
