FILLING A WELL-NEEDED GAP

Although my son is a college freshman, I am glad to say that
he is still not too old to climb up on my lap and have a heart-
to-heart talk when things are troubling him. My boy is enrolled
at Harvard where he is studying to be a fireman. From the
time he was a little tiny baby he always said he wanted to be
a fireman. Of course, my wife and I believed that he would
eventually grow out of it, but no sir, the little chap never
wavered in his ambition for one minute!

So here he is at Harvard today taking courses in net holding,
mouth-to-mouth breathing, carbon tetrachloride, and Dalma-
tian dogs. It is a full schedule for the young man, and that, in
fact, is exactly what we talked about when last he climbed
upon my te

He complained that every bit of his time is taken up with his
major requirements, He doesn’t have so much as one hour a
week to sample any of the fascinating courses outside his mayor
—history, literature, language, science, or any of the thousand
and one things that appeal to his keen young mind.

Tam sure that many of you find yourselves in the same
scholastic bind; you are taking so many requirements that you
can't find time for some appealing electives. Therefore, in’ to-
day’s column I will forego levity and give you a brief survey in
a subject that is probably not included in your curriculum.

[ have asked the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes whether [
wight employ this column normally a vehicle for innocent
merriment —to pursue this serious end. “OF course you m
eragy kid," they replied kindlily, their grey eyes erinkling at
the corners, their manly mouths twisted in funny little grins:
Tf you ure a Marlboro smoker and what intelligent: human
person is not? you would expect the makers of Marlboro to
he fine men, And so they are wonderful guys, every man-jack
of them good, generous, understanding, wise. They are excl

But T digress, We were going to take up a topie you
probably unable to cover in your busy aeademic dite Let us
sturt with the most basie topic of all anthropology, the study:
of man himself,

Man is usually defined asa tool-making animal, but 1 per
sonally do not find this definition entirely satisfactory. Maun is
nat the only species whieh makes toals. The sitiians, for ex
ample, make monkey wrenches

Still, when you come to a really complicated tool like a
linotype, for instance you can be fairly sure it was made by
Hono sapiens or else very intelligent tiger, The question one
should ask, therefor not whe made the tool, but what did
he do with it

For example, ina recent ex

Play and Opera 1963-64 Budgets to be Presented

Come to Page

The Albany League of Arts, Inc.,
is sponsoring three performances
of unusual significance at Page Hall
which should be of interest to the
students of State.

On Saturday, April 20th at 2:30
p.m, and 8:30 p.m. the New York
Shakespeare Festival Company
will present its highly acclaimed
production of Macbeth.

On Thursday, April 25th at 8:30
p.m. (no matinee) the Metropolitan
Opera Studio will present its pro-
duction of the opera Cosi_
Tutte,

Because of the support given
these attractions by the New York
State Council on the Arts, tickets
for the matinee will be $1 and for
the evening performances, $2, Stu-
dent tickets for all performances
will be 50¢. Tickets are now on
sale at the Co-op.

Because of a reorganization of
the State Council on the Arts,
chances are that never again will
students be able to see attractions
of this caliber for sucha low price.

Feasibility of Shelters
Questioned By Student

To the Editor:

it now appears that we attend, not
a university as the administration
vould have us believe, but anover-
grown, ivy-covered fallout shelter

ture, history, et al., we will now
learn the fine art of survival when
(not if) there is a nuclear war, |

poor psychology involved in the ex-
istence of fallout shelters and the
idea of having them in a college

meant university) but most of all
the fact that our own (our very own
just think of it!) shelter's capacity
has been appraised at seventy
people, In the event of war who will

first seventy to reach the shelter,
the strongest seventy to reach it,
or some preselected group”

If it is the last, how will the
seventy he selected? Will they be
certain members of the adminis-
tration and faculty, the senior
with the highest averages, or
merely the nearest se
the staffs of the co-op and medical
offices? Perhaps the students will

Improvements

In Design, Content of ‘Primer’

Poetry Avoids
Shock, Obscurity

by Richard Leveroni

Those who found the cover of
this year’& Primer attractive and
a welcome relief from the pseudo-
sophistication and artful sloppi-
ness of its more recent predeces-
sors will he pleased to learn that
its contents are as inviting and
well chosen, The poetry, although
not outstanding, is of good quality
and each one has something to
recommend it so.

\lthough no one has been guilty
of using a traditional form and
many images are conventional,
one finds simple but felt thoughts,
well expressed, and a variety of
them, One feels that the editors
have avoided as criteria of choice
favoritism, the need for filler,
und the desire to shock,

Few poems require more than
one reading to grasp their literal
meaning; obscurity has not heen
cultivated Some invite and re-
ward a second and third reading
ind a very few of their images
will be remembered.

First laurels must go to Dale
Ketcham, who is represented by
four works. He is fond of short
lines and correspondent imagery
“This Age of Fear by Lenny Grey
is notable for its emotional quali-
ty as is Nicholas Wheldon's
“Stasis'? which has more rigor
Czenowyk's “Carnivora” poses an
interesting question although his
control of word and form is weak.

On the lighter side there are
short sharp little satires by poets
Purcell, De Fano, and Zeigler.
Two other short but extremely
effective pieces are ‘Nightmare
in Color by Judy Vollers and
“Drifting’’ by Barbara Leuthner.

This is only a suggestion as to
the many good poems included. 1
have seen students refuse to ac-
cept the Primer during distribu-
tron Those who do so this year
ure only hurting themselves.

Successful Prose
Shows Discretion

by Lindo P, White
The printing, lay-out, and gen
eral presentation of the Primer
is decidedly better than the pro-
duetions of recent years. The
editors have shown discretion in
their selections, although the prose

sentimentality and “surprise”
twist which are clumsily treated

The plot leaves gaping holes

evades every one of them

The other entry by Robert Judd,

“The Month of the Unicorn," is
a delightful fancy. The poignancy
and exhilaration of a drunken adol-
escent confronted with an appealing
definitely earth-centered Lillian
is magical.

“(A Martiniful of Olives'’ and
“The Wink’ indicate by contrast
the difficulty of writing effective
light fiction, ‘The Wink"’ carries
the unmistakable taint of The
Saturday Evening Post - silly,
superficial, and indifferently slick,

‘*\ Martiniful of Olives'', onthe
other hand, is highly polished, but
skillfully hints at below-the-sur-
face characterization, creating a
bitter and amusing effect

Whitney Fish is a bit too clever
and blatantly didactic in his treat~
ment of ‘Everyone in the World
is Christ and They are all Cruci-
fied."

the theme of the threat de-
stroyed before recognition is all
too frequent in clever fiction. The
story is enjoyable and adequately
presented, but Fish is capable of
more powerful and less sopho-
moric writing.

Fish's other entry, ‘Come
Home, Come Home, It's Dinner
Time,"' does not attempt as much
and is successful. The mood of
suspense is skillfully built, and the
unseen presences of Uncle Richard
and his family before the climax
made almost palpable,
he White-Haired Lady" is a
prim, darling tale of a cute old
lady, a small town wedding, and a
smart young college girl. The
narrator has a condescending at-
titude toward her subject, and the
subject is commonplace
Two Stories About Judes

Frankonis and Gomez treat the
betrayal of Judas and his death
Both studies present a misunder-
stood Judas who has acted upon
the command of his Master.

Frankonis builds his story upon
4 contrast: between the greedy,
jovial innkeeper and the intro-
spect troubled Judas. The
reader feels drawn unwillingly to
the betr: rand realizes with a
start that he 1s among the com-
pany of inn-keepers who scream,
“But my money, Judas; you took

Frankonis apparently has a

STATE UNIVERSITY NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1963

Who's Fooling Whom?????

If someone is trying to be funny they have a rather
weird sense of humor. We are wondering if the men of
Potter have forgotten some promises or whether they
ever made them in the first place.

We hate to bring up old subjects again, but when
wrongs keep being committed, they cannot be ignored.
It is a real wonderment why these men cannot learn
that wrongs are not going to go unnoticed.

The attempts at cleverness are rather obvious; may-
be purposely so, The INCOGNITOS, DISCUSSORS,
and the ONE-EYES should fare as well as most Potter
teams have in the past. When it was stated that they
would, ‘‘suspend all activities of the Edward Eldred
Potter Club’? we must have mistakenly included AMIA
as an activity.

The Fraternity Weekend seem to lack nothing that any
other of the Weekends included - even a very informal
party. Weare not against fraternity weekends or parties
but we are against going back on ones word.

Perhaps the problems that were confronting the group
have been solved in which case it would seem logical
that they once again begin functioning as an active,
well directed fraternity, but if this is the case, we have
heard nothing about it.

While we realize that a minority of the group is taking
the problem at hand very seriously, we wonder about
the reliability of the other members word, when they
make such a joke of it.

Catalog Held Inadequate

It is indeed unfortunate that the students must rely
on the University catalog for information about the
University.

We of the State University News wish to express our
sincere desire that the catalog will he completely
revised and thoroughly re-written,

We hope the requirements for all majors and all
minors or second fields will he spelledout specifically.

We would like to see astatementof what courses out-
side the major, minor, and ed. courses are ‘*C’’ re-
quirements, For example there is no statement any-
where in the catalog that physics majors and minors
must pass mathematics courses with aC’, At least
one physics student was a hit surprised to find that his
D was not as good as a friend's C,

Perhaps it should be stated somewhere in the catalog
which courses exclude which courses. Nowhere is
it stated that History 120 (Ancient) precludes Histories
17 (Ancient Greece) and 18 (Ancient Rome.)

In this last case several students were removed from
a course after it was too late to enter another course.
Fortunately the students involved had enough hours so
that they will be able to graduate on time, but the situ-
ation could have led to someone graduating late,

Many course descriptions are out of date. We do not
propose that teachers teach material according to out-
dated course descriptions, but that the catalog change
when the course does

Certainly a volume as expensive and involved as the
University Catalog could contain a little more real in-
formation, The catalog, we feel, has not grown with

Alumna Advocates
Retention of Greeks

To the Editor:

T am enclosing for your pos-
sible use, a letter sent to Dr.
Stokes protesting the proposal to
disband sororities and fraterni-
ties. I sincerely hope that your
newspaper is registering its disap-
proval of this anticipated action
in its most forceful tones,

Rhoda Levin Kestenbaum '60

Dear Sir:

As an alumna in good standing
of hoth State College and a soror-
ity, I wish to add my voice to what
I ardently hope is a veritable de-
luge of protest against the con-
templated proposal to dishand fra-
ternal organizations on State's
campus,

It is only human nature that when
the entire concept of an institu-
tion changes, the conservative ele-
ment will resist. Certainly, no
tradition need continue to exist
for its own sake only; but if there
is merit in the statusquo, this
would he seriously taken under
consideration

According to the grapevine, the
most important reason given thus
far for the proposal to terminate
sororities and fraternities is lack
of housing facilities on the pro-
jected campus site. Thisisa ludic-
tously untenable alibi, probably
promulgated hy those who have no
fondness for fraternal organiza-
tions on any basis.

Since ‘ta house is not a home,''
it is perfectly clear that the em-
phasis is heing misplaced to ob-
fuscate the real issues. If the
powers thathe would permit soror-
ities and fraternities to meet in
classrooms or Student Union meet-
ing rooms on the new campus,
there would he little need for
“houses.’? Naturally, some of
the extant activities of the organ-
ization would by necessity demand
modification, but the working nu-
cleus could remain unchanged.

In education terms, ‘the whole
child"? should receive considera-
tion. Not only do the sororities
and fraternities help to round out
the personality of the individual,
hut they also help to perfect the
image of the school as a whole
Thus far they have undeniably been
the impetus behind any of the col-
lege's extra-curricular activities

I speak from experience when |
state that any skill learned as a
member ofa fraternal organization
of cooperative ventures ~ are in-
calculably valuable in one
career, especially as a teacher

While I can readily agree with
those who maintain that the govern-
ing philosophy behind fraternal
organizations is less than idealis-
tic, this is not true in State's situ-
ation, The local nature of soror-
ities and fraternities on State's
campus precludes the digerimin-
auion, exorbitant and des-
tructive pettinesses which domin-
ate the national groups

dues,

Unless \ibany State 1s to become
a factory where young people will
be denied the right to become all
they are capable of heing, sorori
hes and fraternities must continue
to function, They provide enthus)-
asm, loyalty, direction, and fond
memories for those who are al-
ready affiliated — It would be un-
realistic and unjust to obliterate
existing lies from those who have
long ago lost most vestiges of
school spirit; it would be inex-
cusable to deny these benefits to
the generations to come

Dr. Stokes, kindly encourage
your committee to modify, if they
must, but not to destroy, the
warmth and vitality, the motiva-
tion and fulfillment of Albany State:
its fraternal organizations

Budget Badly Bungled John Updike Retells Greek Myth in The Centaur;
“tenant apepeuone wn. POLAYS Unfortunate Chiron As Science Teacher

by Joseph W. Galu

I have no single topic for my
column this week other than the
series of recent ‘‘disclosures’’
about New York State's budget.

The first of these came from
the New York State government.
This was the statement that the
new liquor fees will be collected
by a new organization.

This announcement means that
the old ‘‘tax’’ part willbe collected
the way it always has been; while
the new part, the ‘fee’, will be
collected separately hy a separate
group.

This means there will be dupli-
cation of state workers and state
work. The expense will he doubled.
The only thing that will he gained
is an underlining of Rockefeller's
myth of the difference hetweena tax
and a fee

Tox Deductible Fees"

The second little event which
has come to my attention is the fact
that license fees" are taxes. This
little revelation came to me fron
a faculty member and from ta:
forms.

License ‘‘fees'' are deductibl
as “taxes'? from hoth state an
federal income taxes

The last things [ shall mention
are the ways in which the state’:
budget was balanced

In the early part of its last ses-
sion, the legislature passed a

SINA Prexy

get. The purpose was to balance
the budget year which was ahout
to end.

Despite this 40 million dollar
shot in the arm, two more steps
were taken at the last minute in
order to avoid the use of red ink
for the year’s totals.

Payments Reduced

A New York City evening paper
printed a story stating as fact that
the government delayed and re-
duced payments to construction
firms doing work for the state
The article said that the firms
involved were afraid to complain
for fear of reprisals.

This story was not denied hy any
officer of the governor. (Perhaps
it is only my usual view on our
governor that leads me to helieve
that the above action is not com-
patible with fiscal responsihility,
but [ doubt it.)

Delay of Refunds

The last recent event | will
mention here about the budget is
the persistant rumor that tax re-
funds were held up until after it
was clear that the budget year could
be balanced by cutting the payments
to contractors and hy holding tax
moneys.

During the above events Rocke-
feller was out in Nebraska and
Kansas making speeches about how
he isn't running for President.

the society is to ‘protectour chil-

Consequently, Article IV of the

THE CENTAUR by John Updike, Alfred
Knopf (299pp).

John Updike is anextremely tal-
ented young writer who possesses
a great potentiality. Although this
comment is not entirely original, it
serves to present anaccurate des-
cription of the author.

In his latest novel, The Centaur,
much of Updike's potentiality he-
comes actualized. Yet the movel
still remains suspended some-
where in that nebulous area he-
tween ‘good’ and ‘‘great."*

In The Centaur, Updike retells
the myth of Chiron, ‘‘noblest of all
the Centaurs (who are half horses
and half men).'? Chiron, who pos-
sessed the gift of immortality, was
wounded unintentionally by an ar-

row of Hercules.
Prometheus’ Atonement

Rather than live forever inpain,
he begged Zeus to let him die in
atonement for Prometheus, Zeus
granted his wish and ‘set him as
a shining archer among the stars."*

In this modern tale of Chiron,
the unfortunate Centaur is George
Caldwell, a science teacher at
Olinger High School (Olympus)
Prometheus is his psoriasis-
stricken son, Peter. Zeus is the
lecherous, grote sque principal,
Zimmerman, who often observes
Caldwell's classes and the budding
breasts of adolescent girls.

He thunders through the school;
sends lightning bolts of fear at fac-
ulty members; fondles the “ milky"
arms of the more attractive girls;
and makes love to Mrs, Herzog
(Hera), a member of the school
board

Apparent Complication
At first glance, the structure of
the novel appears to be somewhat
complicated. Chapters writtenen-
tirely withina mythological frame-
work are interspersed with seem-
ingly objective chapters, most of
which are told in retrospect by
Caldwell's son.

Upon closer examination, how-
ever, these seeminglyob jective
chapters fit into the mythological
‘contest: Through the use of
indirect allusion and tag names, the
mythological and modern worldare
blended into one.

In a certain sense, the first chap-
ter is an overture to this mytho-
real drama, The stage is set when
Caldwell is wounded by a real and
a symbolic arrow, The ‘‘real'’
arrow isa steel shaft which pierces
his ankle. The ‘‘symbolic’’ arrow,
in part, is the mockery of the stu-

dents
Two Aspects

The major stylistic devices are
also introduced in the first chapter.
Caldwell appears both in mythical
and real terms. He is George Cald-
well, the awkward, good-natured,
two-legged science teacher; and he
is Chiron, the Venus tempted four-
legged Centaur

The approach to the time element
is also hetter understood in the
terms introduced in the first chap-
ter, Caldwell reduces five billion
years (the supposed age of the uni-
verse) to a period of three days in
order to discuss the origins of life
with his students. In much the same
way, Updike transports the almost

ageless myth of Chiron to three
cold January days in 1947,
Myth ond Novel

In the myth, Chironsacrifices
his life for Prometheus. In the
novel, Caldwell sacrifices his life
for his son, Peter, Yet in many re-
spects, Peter does not appear tohe
a Promethean figure.

The reader knows very little of
his adult life, except that he is‘‘an
authentic second-rate abstract ex-
pressionist,’’ who lives in a New
York City loft with his Negro mis-
tress,

In no way has Peter given fire to
mankind, Living among old fur-
nishings “like a scattering of
worn-out Braques'' and ina"half-
Freudian half-Oriental sex-mysti-
cism,"’ Peter wonders ‘WAS IT
FOR THIS THAT MY FATHER
GAVE UP HIS LIFE?" The reader
wonders too!

Successtul Perception

Although Updike may have failed
in his portrayal of an adult Peter,
he did not fail in presenting a con-
vineing adolescent Peter. He not
only makes his reader see Peter,
but he makes his reader be Peter.

One sees the snow blowing over
the ‘rural darkness'’; one feels the
cold bare floor as one steps from
the warm bed; one smells the odor
of medicine surrounding the Alton
cough drop factory; and one tastes
the burnt to@st as one rushes to
school. In this reviewer's opinion,
this is no small accomplishment.

‘Whatever is is right.’ But what is? How much of
what I am really is? Am I what I appear to be or do
I appear to be other than I am? Is my conception of
self based upon what I would be or what others would
have me be or what others believe me to be? What and
who am I? How much do I owe to myself — to Society?
Has society made me what I am because I will be what
Society would have me? — I speak of Society now not as
the forces about me which may perhaps bring about
certain aspects of my life but rather the forces within
me — and the willful, deliberate alteratim of behavior in
order to please — to please a god, a world, 4 man.

Is it wrong to strive tobe asothers would have me be?
What is hypocrisy? Should man establish a code of
ethics and morality independent of all relations with the
standards of Society? Must each manstrive for perfec-
tion unaided by the standards of his neighbor? Can he
function as a ‘part of the continent” ifhe has set up his

goals as an island?

And yet could not a society degenerate into a flaccid
state if its standards become relative—do we not some-
times believe ourselves to be good merely because my
neighbor is a little less good? Isit wrong to vainly hope
that another might profit by perceiving my life, my way
of living, and I in turn from them?

is — if I know not what I am?

matters only if I need to know this in order to die.

For my part, Ereject the idea ofa
social fraternity in the sense that
a social program is primary and

Properly administered, student

duce a social program for the stu-

1 would not question forone min-

though, how much thought or seri-

to alma or objectives,

The things discussed at the list
meeting, such as leadership, aca-
demics, social development, and
public image are all excellent
ideas, But let us examine them in
terms of twdays fraternities at

State.

Every group has itsown leaders,
be they good or had. There are al-
so in each fraternity people with
leadership potential who need tohe
encouraged or developed. What
fraternity has a program to clo this?
Another very important aspect if

Much talk has been devoted to
achievement of minimum. stand-

these criteria, But how many fra
ternities periodically examine the
sum averages and work of all the
members of its group to determine
reas of weakness and put forth
programs to prevent academic
failures

Players Develop Characters Poorly
In ‘Macbeth’ Adventure Story

by Horry Guy

Last Saturday The Albany
League presented the New York
Shakespeare Festivals production
of MACBETH, It wasn’t a student
tax card production but special —
and very reasonable — discounts
were offered to students.

The production itself was flashy
and much too modern. It relied
heavily on special effects. Music
played an important part in this
production; and at times sounded
like Paul Anka's thrilling score
for The Longest Day.

Too Many Bells

When MACBETH was thinking,
we heard the hells of his thought,
when he paused suddenly the hum
of his brain skipped a heat. Hecate,
the leader of the witches, spoke as
a prerecorded voice — and it
sounded poorly prerecorded.

MACBETH is a play about power
and the way power affects people.
It is a play of characters. In this
production, the lyrical thoughts of
Shakespeare were subordinated to
the guts and glory of the situation,
The play lacked the necessary
depth in characterization.

As Lady MACBETH, Betty Mil-
ler was quiet and sustained

complished hy evolution,

1 would dare say that the first
step for revitalizing the fraterni-
ties has already been lost, that of
the pledge education. Further, 1
would say that this year, as usual,
there was a traditional, useless
pledge training program.

I feel that first, asI.P.C. repre-
sentatives, you must establish what
the fraternity should do.

Is it to be the vehicle to provide
a means of close group relationship
with the objectives of educational
and social maturation of its in-
dividual members, or is it tobe just
social in its present form? The
former, | believe, provides a solid
basis for continued existence. The
latter provides no basis

The next step is the indoctrin-
ation of the officers of each group
In conjunction with this, each group
faces the immediate problem of the
election of its new officers based
on ability and not popularity

The next step is the indoctrina-
tion of the individual members of
each group to this revitalized con-
cept as to the purpose of a fra-
ternity,

The last, and perhaps the most

looked like a bloody Dracula bent

sequence MACDUFF doubts their
death but then quickly determines
to revenge himself on MACBETH.

The Weird Sisters were hewitch-

very carefully; they had the right
amount of comedy and just the dash
of seriousness necessary for prop-
er effectiveness.

was a bit overplayed at times, but
was never-the s very funny.

Eight Academy Awards Go To British; Sargeant Suggests

Choice of Winners Not Surprising

by Paul Jensen

Although they were given out
several weeks ago, the 1963 Acad-
emy Awards still remains an oc-
castional topic of conversation.
Again this year there was little
that was surprising about the
choices,

Certainly it was no shock that
Lowrence of Arabia was awarded
the honor of heing the best film of
the year, Of the other nominees
(To Kill a Mockingbird, The Longest
Doy, The Music Man, Mutiny on the
Bounty) only the choice of Mock-
ingbird had any validity, Even that,
or any other good film of the
year, was no competition for the
epic biography.

5 of 6 Deserved

It was obvious that Lowrence
would take Best Picture. Of the
other six awards it won, five (di-
rection, art direction-color, cin-
omatography-color, film editing,
and sound) were also richly de-
served The sixth, for musical
score, is perhaps more wishful
thinking, Since all the performers
nominated for Best Actor did ex-
cellent jobs, the \cademy must
have found it necessary to resort
to other criteria, The result was
the presentation of the statuette to
Gregory Peck. A ‘sentimental
favorite'’, poor Greg had never
won the big one despite his long
years of reliable, competent serv-
ice to the industry

O'Toole or Quinn

Probably a better choice, per-
formance-wise, would have been
Peter O'Toole or Anthony Quinn,
who was not even nominated for
Requiem for a Heovyweight.

The decision to acclaim Anne
Bancroft best actress was a wise
one, as her portrayal in The Mir.
acle Worker was movingly
wrought. Patty Duke, in the same
film, was the best supporting ac-
tress — another good choice, al-
though Angela Lansbury was my
personal favorite.

The awarding of the Best Sup-
porting Actor Oscar to Ed Begley
was another “‘sentimental"’ award.
His performance in Sweet Bird of
Youth, while good, was overshad-
owed by those of Terence Stamp,
Omar Shariff, Telly Savalas and
Anthony Quinn (this time not nom-
inated for Lawrence)

British Grob 8 Oscars

One cannot complain about the
quality of the performances that
were honored, but it is difficult not
to wonder at the motives behind
them and to speculate on the pos-
sibility of other, and better,
choices,

The general effect of the \wards,
taken together, is a victory for
the British (8 Oscars), the stage!
(Buncroft-Duke-Begley) and for-
vign language films (original
screenplay and live short subject)
Of the nearly 25 presentations, a
mere nine were made to the home-
grown product

Vive la difference!

ommunication System

To the Editor:

I recently read the letter to the
Editor from the State University
News. Being a member ofa frater-
nity, the Secretary of the Interfra-
ernity Council 1962-63, and Con-
stitutional Chairman for the same
group, | can, of course, agree that
fraternities have a place on this
campus. I do, however, fee! that
the writers missed the point on
several of the issues andare asking
for a campaign which would be
nothing more than yelling.

Too often we have seen this kind
of battle end up in monsterous de-
feat. Such was the case in the tuition
battle and several others inour re-
cent past. It is next to impossible
to convince others than an institu-
tion shouldbe kept only hecause WE
want it.

It would be more productive if we
would first take an objective look
at the fraternities and at the pro-
posals thi have heen presented,

Too often we hide behind the
words ‘social fraternity’' when we
are presented any form of change.
Social does not mean just partying
and drinking, it means everything
having to do with humans living
together. This definition takes in
academics, leadership develop-
ment, physical development and
much more in addition to parties.

We look to the nationals for ideas
on how to winour battles; why don't
we look to the same source to see
what functions they serve? If we
did we would see that they already
have the very things we are asked
to work toward. We are not asked
to do anything new or different.

open to all students

The wmters also ask fora strong
IFC and ISC and seem to feel the
problem is in getting IFC and ISC
aware of the problem. A study of
the situation would reveal that the
two councils have been active inan
attempt to get the individual groups
to realize what they must do,

The IFC has held two workshops
trying to overcome the apparent
communication problem, but still
there is NO action. The Council
and member fraternities of IFC
have asked for a revision of an
IFC Constitution which is very
dated. This action is very com-
mendable, but when a constitution
was presented that provided the
barest minimums for a strongIFC
each of the groups decided that it
did not like the changes,

The way it looks now we will
probably come up with a constitu-
tion which is no more than a re-
writing of the old one just as has
been the fate of the four other re-
visions in the last ten years,

I would suggest that the demand-
ing in each of the fraternities
should be to find out exactly what
the constitution says and to have
the Chairman or perhaps Mr, Me-
Kinnon, IFC Advisor, explain the
reasons for the changes, Without
the addition of a Junior Interfra~
ternity Council, I can see no way
of developing new IFC leaders.

Without the Judiciary Court, I
can see no way of keeping frater-
nity disciplinary problems from
continually going to MYSKANTA and
from becoming unfavorable public-
ity.

In the individual groups itis im-
portant to eliminate the current he~
lief that the proposals that come
from the administration are
threats and the acceptance of them
is appeasement. Each proposal

must be considered on its merits
and its merits alone! We must he-
gin a program to get each gre kto
be able to verbalize greek aims
and not just read them

We must also stamp out the belief
in some groups that when a set of
aims is approved in a meeting, the
group by this action alone has the
set of aims. Touctually have them,
the aims must first he effectively
implemented, | am aware that this
takes time anda lot of mistakes, but
there are people who will gladly
help groups who want it,

Strange as it may seem, some of
our inactive members can be very
helpful in this line. Once we are
able to verbalize our aims, we must
be absolutely sure that each new
pledge is indoctrinated and thathe,
too, can verbalize the aims. Once
again it is at this point and not
earlier that we can begin our hattle.

In conclusion | would like to sug-
gest that SUN can playa significant
role in this battle, Have a reporter
who knows the workings of IFC and
ISC at all meetings of these groups
to insure transmission of news in
the greek field to your readers.

Perhaps run a series of columns
on the idealogy of greeks on this
campus so all will understand the
views of the various greeks, This
program would be enlightening not
only to the greeks, but to the very
interested independents as well.

Sincerely,
Robert Sargeant

STATE UNIVERSITY NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1963

STATE SEVERS CONFERENCE TIES

Kim Gifford, Chairman of Ath-
letic Board, makes the following
official announcement concerning
the Athletic Board's decision on the
Conference question:

As of September 1963 the State
University of New York at Albany
will no longer be a member of the
State University of New York Ath-
letic Conference (SUNYAC).

This withdrawal was recom-
mended to President Collins on
April 2, 1963 by the Athletic Ad-
visory Board and accepted by him.

The SUNYAC hadoriginally heen
established by the State teachers
colleges to facilitate and promote a
certain consistency and upgrading
of Intercollegiate standards among
the teachers colleges of New York
State,

Revisions Proposed

On March 1, 1963 the Constitu-
tion Committee of the SUNYAC
proposed certain constitutional re-
visions to its members which, in
effect, changed the emphasisof the
conference to that of a scheduling
conference, with the resulting ef-
fects;

(1) Any member of the confer-
ence must be a playing member.

(2) Playing members must par-
ticipate in all conferences (for in-
dividual sports) provided by this
conference.

(3) To participate in individual
sports conferences a member must
play every other member in the
conference which had that sport.

Effects Undesirable

The resulting effects on Albany
would have been:

(1) To give up certain opponents
now played (for instance, possibly
RPI) in order to play members of
the conference such as Fredonia.

(2) A resulting disadvantage hoth
to the athletes and the school in
time traveling involved and costof
the program respectively

(3) A. scheduling of opponents
which were not of our present or
possibly future size, but rather a
reversal of our future plans for
scheduling because of our antici-
pated growth,

Therefore, on April 2, 1963 the

Athletic Advisory Board recom-
mended to President Collins that:

(1) Our Athletic Director he di-
rected to vote against the proposals
which would set up the SUNYAC
as a playing conference,

(2) In the event the proposed
constitutional changes were
passed, Our Athletic Director he
directed to inform the conference
we would cancel membership in
the conference as of September
1963.

President Collins accepted the
recommendations of the hoard.

On April 4, 1963, the SUNYAC
accepted the proposed revisions
and were informed of our cancel-
lation of membership.

Threefold Effects

The effects of this cancellation
of membership on .\Ihany’s inter-
collegiate program will he:

(1) No visible change in our
current scheduled opponents.

(2) No chance of playing in the
conference haskethall tournament,

(3) No possible restrictions of
scheduling of opponents whom we
might wish in the near future.

Spinning the
Sports Wheel

by Bill Colgan

Included in next year’s athletic budget, which has
an open hearing before the student body May 3, there
are two simple lines of print. What they represent is
perhaps the most significant thing ever to happen to
State athletics. They read:

Travel 4 men, 1500
miles each, $540

Assuming that they are buried away in some musty,
long-forgotten files, one could scour oldathletic budgets
from the year one onward, and never, no never, would
the word recruitment venture to appear, Well, it
still doesn’t.

But then, like Bill Shakespeare said about calling
roses names, recruitment by any other name is still
recruitment. Replace the word travel with the forbid-
den word recruitment, and you have the essence of the
two lines printed above.

As a matter of fact, in the original draft of the
budget recruitment was given a brief moment of glory,
and actually allowed to appear in print. But the powers
that be felt it was a ‘dirty’? word, perhaps reminiscent
of Cincinnati or Ohio State. Well anyhow this bureau-
cratic trivia isn’t important, What counts is that funds
have been alloted for recruitment (excuse us, we mean
travel, of course) for the first time in State’s athletic
history.

Tremendous Change

The Athletic Board’s decision to make provisions for
some recruitment funds then marks a distinct change
in the order of State athletics. This is not to say that
State’s coaches have not used all the charm, wit, and
ingenuity at their disposal to cajole some of State’s
fine non-scholarship athletes to our campi in the past.

While performing this necessary task, however,
State coaches have never been paid for their pains.
Any money they might spend in pursuing some promis-
ing high school athlete came from their own pockets.
The new recruitment provision now changes this
ridiculous state of affairs, State’s coaches are now
allowed to spend $540 while floating around the state
looking for the future stars of the Albany playing fields.

This change, of course, is long overdo and heartily
welcomed. Recruiting in college today is at a higher
pitch than it has ever heen hefore. A good high school
athlete is worth his weight in gold to many coaches.
In the future the competition for athletes will only get
tighter and tighter.

Albany State, however, has failed to keep pace with
the times. Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to say
that State is behind the recruitment standards of 1890.
\s a matter of fact, Frank Merriweather himself would
ind it impossible to any sort of assistance for
playing sports at State.

While persuing New York's gilded athletes, \lbany’s
coaches must go forth with emptyhands. bout the only
thing they can offer is a job in the Student Union (in the
off-season, of course) atabuckanhour. With conditions

get

like this, sports fans, you may rest assured no whisper
of scandal will ever touch the sacred land of Minerva.

Non-Scholarship Future Bleak

An uprighteous system like this is certainly to be
commended, Unfortunately, it does have little
drawback, It sure isn’t condusive to procuring good
athletes, Albany has been lucky in the past. We have
some truly outstanding athletes in our varsity ranks
today. = But what about tomorrow? We are living on
borrowed time, ‘The failure of this year’s freshmen
teams is indicitive of this.

The situation will not improve by itself, [f State's
athletic program is to keep pace with the expected
growth of the university, then provisions must be made
to insure getting better athletes, [tis for this reason
that we welcome the aforementioned $540 for recruit-
ment travel.

We can only hope that this revolutionary measure
established the setting of a firm precedent on which
State’s athle future can be built. From it, we hope
a comprehensive scholarship-aid athletic program will
build, which will be worthy of a university of ten thous-
and, It is not an exaggeration to say that the $540

one

alloted for travel in next year’s budget, dollar for dol-
lar is the best spent money ever used on State ath-
letics. It is a big step in the right direction,

heen very poor this year

For example, at last Saturday's

baseball opener, an 11-3 victory,
there were hardly enough people to
fill the bleechers, This is far re-
moved from even minimum school
spirit

The Boosters Club, headed by
Steve Curti and Bill Laundry, has
formulated a central body from
which it will work, Representatives
have been chosen from the dormi-
tories, fraternities, sororities,
and group houses

However, even more help is
needed if the program is to be a
success Anyone inte:

year table tennis tournament
Starting today matches will be
played in the game room
Standings will be posted on the
Brubacher bulletin board as the
tournament progresses. Tables
have been reserved for this event
before and after dinner

days they will face each other in
competition, and will hold a gen-
eral inter-team serimmage on
Thursdays,

It is strongly urged that anyone
planning to go out for the soccer
team next year should participate
in this intra-mural program

The Peds outplayed the losing RIT squad in all departments.
in a number of years that the Peds

opened the season at home.

As things go in State base-
ball, a fairly good crowd turned
out to witness the Peds’ debut,
About 400 fans were at hand at
the start, and considering the cold,
blustery winds that swept the play-
ing field their numbers did not
dwindle too rapidly.

Mrs. Eggleston Starts

Once again, Mrs, Eggleston was
the first pitcher’? to take the
mound for State The Dean of
Albany State baseball kept her
unmarred earned run average in-
tact as she fired (underhand) the
first ball of the 1963 season into
catcher Tony Maculuso.

Senior co-captain Gary Penfield
had accompanied Mrs, Eggleston
to the mound,

With a successful opener under
their belts, and what promised to
be a good game with Siena Wed-
nesday, the Peds' next home ap-
pearance
when they take on Oneonta at 4:00
p.m. on the playing field

will be next Tuesday,

Pitching Clicks

In last Saturday’s opener, the
combination of Ray Week's ex-
cellent pitching and some timely
hitting proved too much for RIT.

Weeks turned in one of the finest
mound performances to be seen
at State in a long while. Coach
Burlingame doubted he could go the
route, but after a shakey start he
settled down to blank RIT over the
last seven innings

Weeks was tagged for three
earned runs in the first two in-
nings before getting the losers
number. In going the distance he
yielded just six hits (four in the

first two frames) while fanning
eight.
Weeks' most effective pitch

seemed to he his off-speed hall
which had the RIT diamondmen
swinging at air all afternoon

Hitting Shorp

The Ped hitting looked sharp
in this one, as they massaged the
RIT pitcher for twelve hits, Fit-
tingly enough, the first safety of
the 1963 season was blasted hy
Penfield, a tremendous 340 foot
belt over the left field fence
The game was really over inthe
third inning, when the Peds rallied
for five runs to go ahead forkeeps
8-3, Nine Peds came to the plate
in this frame to ice the gume

U.S. Cuban Policy
Seems Ineffectual

by Gory Luczok

Well, the mighty United States
has done it again. This hastion of
freedom, this arch-enemy of Com-
munism and all it stands for now
finds itself guaranteeing with its
own armed forces the very system
it sought to eradicate from this
hemisphere just two, short, appar-
ently forgotten, years ago
Our foreign policy as regards
Cuba (if, indeed, we have such a
policy!) seems to he one of watch-
ful waiting’, Waiting for what? For
the island to sink back into the
thereby eliminating the cancer
without: resorting to potentially
dangerous isolation and/or surg-
wine

Russians Entrenched

Although [ sincerely believe that
Senator Keating has: gone slightly
overboard in his recent barrage of
partisan outpourings relating toa
topic so vital to our national seeur-
ity and well-being, [ think that seme
credence must he given to his as-
sertions that no appreciable num-
her of Soviet troops (or ‘techni-
cians’, if you will) has heen re-
moved from Cuba

It should also be noted that there
has never been irrefutable confir-
mation that all missile and ‘offen-
sive’ weapons have | pulledout
of this Russian base in the Western
hemisphere; one of the conditions
for our suspension of last Octo-
her's quarantine

Cubon Subversion

That subversive activity has
been emanating from Castro's
scarlet isle is definite knowledge
But do we actually realize the ex-
tent to which this has taken phice’

The administration has recently
disclosed the expected yet sobering
news that the government of Brazil
(which, incidentally, borders on
every South American country ex-
cept Chile and Ecuador) has been
infiltrated by Communists, \dd to
this the fact that the President of
this second largest nation in- the
Western hemisphere 1s a Moscow
oriented pawn with avowed Con
munist sympathies. 1 don't think
itis thus difficult: to envision the
hideous spectre of this key country
falling under the Kremlin's dom-

insttion.
Latin America Endangered

Consiler also the Communist
tdyances being made in Venezuelt
(Romulo Betancourt, ff he can list
through next year, will be the first
elected: President in Venezuele's
history to serve a complete term:
his position, however, is mighty
shaky)
