On to Washington! Court
decision in favor of buses
by Aralynn Abare
November 15 will see SUNYA
buses in Washington, after all.
Supreme Court has ruled, by a
three to two margin, that Student
Association’s money ellotment to
“assist in financing a fleet ofbuses
to be sent form Albany to
Washingon,” is constitutional.
The Court’s majority decision
(supported by Justices Lieberman,
Handleman, and Stephan) was
based on the right of the Political
and Social Positions Committee to
“coordinate involvement in
political and social controversies
and questions.”
According to the Court, PSP
Committee was acting within its
power by “coordinating the
efforts of 2797 petitioners” who
called for SA’s outlay of junds.
The Court stated that

by Vicki Zelden
Yes, Paul O’Dwyer will run
again in 1970, Mr. O’Dwyer hopes
that the war will not be an issue in
his campaign or in the primaries
coming up in June. Of course this
is up to President Nixon. And, as
Mr, O’Dwyer stated “we are all
waiting for Mr, Nixon to reveal his
plan for peace, but the perogative
of silence is his.” Mr. O’Dwyer
covered a wide range of topics in
his Sunday evening speech. He
discussed the war, the
moratorium, the draft and other
relevant topics of interest.
On the war Mr, O’Dwyer feels
that the war in Vietnam is
immoral. He hopes that it will be
ended and that our boys will be
sent home immediately.
Mr. O’Dwyer also feels that
Vietnam must be the last war. He
wants no more Vietnams.
However he does believe that in
order for this to happen a
complete and total change is
needed in the State Department
so that national policy can be
precedent had been set last year
when the Committee coordinated
“a massive letted writing
campaign...to protest the
Proposed cut in state aid to
education.” (bills 6869-119 &
6869-115)
The monority Opinion of
Justices Healt and Potskowski
stated that “PSP Committee,
in,..providing for the allocation of
financial assistance to groups or
individuals expressing a particular
interest or cause, did not act
within the limits” of its power.
Basis for this conclusion lay in
the argument that the two
“precedent seetting” bills and the
more recent bus allocation,
sponsored by the PSP Committee,
“do not merely coordinate the
efforts of a particular group, but
are of a supporting nature.”
In another decision, the Court

altered. Mr. O’Dwyer would like
to see a Department of Peace.
O'Dwyer thinks that the best
course of action is to have a
voluntary army as opposed to a
conscription service. He does not
think that this is the perfect plan
but he feels that it is the best for
now. O'Dwyer definitely does not
want the draft age lowered. It is
his opinion that the young people
of this country must remain here
and be prepared to preserve our
democracy.
O'Dwyer thinks that the draft
law must be amended. The
classification of conscientious
objector must be clarified and
broadened. He does not think that
conscientious objection should be
for noncompliance to the system
but rather for each to be able to -
register his objection to a specific
war.
O’Dwyer commended the
peaceful actions taken by the
people on Oct. 15. As for the
November movement, O’Dwyer

unanimously ruled that, becasue
PSP Committee is a committee
and not a “partisan political
group,” it is not subject to bill
6768-73, (which bars SA from
directly financing “any group
which advocates any specific
partisan political viewpoint.)
The increased responsibility of
Student Association to all
members of the University, both
‘the minority and the mojority,
because all must now pay a
mandatory student tax, was the
last point ruled upon by the
Court.
Supreme Court fully agreed
that, because students are given
no, choice as to whether or not to
pay the tax, their right to decide
how the funds will be spent must
be fully protected.
The Board of Trustees’
resolution concerning what types
of pregrams may be supported by
student tax was not considered
“under the jurisdiction” of the
court and no ruling was made,

University Senate
by Diane McNamara
staff reporter
In an historic first meeting with
student senators participating as
voting members the University
Senate (Faculty Senate) yesterday
approved the proposal for
Pass-Fail grading in all freshmen
classes immediately and to include
sophomores next year. After
approximately 35 minutes of
discussion the senators approved
adoption by a vote of 51-31.
The meeting opened with the
introduction of the new student
senators! Dr. Finklestein,
chairman of the executive
committee reported the results of
a faculty poll. concerning the
pass-fail question. The results
were 190 in favor, 149 opposed.
The next report was from Dr.
Aronson, chairman of the
Undergraduate Academic Council
moved the adoption of the
controversial pass-fail
proposal. Discussion followed in
which most of the same
arguments both for and against
were brought up. Dr. Mauritz
Johnson proposed an amendment
to the proposal which called for
the pass-fail system to be effective
only after the university had
changed its admissions policies
and not require grades of A,B,C,D
or E for transfer students from
other SUNY schools. This
amendment would have delayed
the vote on the pass-fail question
since admission policies would
have to be studied. The
amendment was defeated in a
voice vote.
Discussion then returned to the
pass-fail proposal. Terry Mathias
cited a recent poll of students in
which 777 said they favored the
pass-fail proposal and 224 were
opposed. In a freshman vote 419
approved and 80 were opposed.
He concluded by urging action on
the issue.
Dr. Eson brought up the
question of whether the adoption
of the pass-fail system was really
going to change the institution.
He stated his belief that it
wouldn’t because of the individual
nature of classes, but concluded
that he would vote for the system
because evidence cited in polls
and a department
benjamin
and committee reports seemed to
favor adoption. He felt that
further discussion would be futile
and time wasting and moved the
question. The motion, which
required a 2/3 majority, carried
by a vote of 48-24.
The pass-fail proposal was then
put up for a vote and approved
51-31. The vote by the
undergraduate senators was 10
approving and 11 opposing with
One senator not present for the
vote. Thus the student vote was
not, in any way, crucial to
passage, as many had thought it
would be.
After the approval Dr. Charles
Reilly expressed his iregret that
the discussion had been cut off by
the manipulation of parliamentary
rules. He felt that his rights and
the rights of others to be heard on
the issue had been denied.
Dr. Eson replied that the issue
had been discussed for 18 months,
that numerous task forces and
councils had considered the
question, polls had been taken
and just about all sides had been
heard thoroughly. As to the
discussion being cut off he cited
the 2/3 vote required to do so.
For the moment the issue died
and the senate considered other
business. A proposal for parking
control passed after an
amendment by Dave Neufeld to
keep the restricted areas open for
general parking from 10 a.m.-3
a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
The Senate next considered
endorsement of a proposal by the.
Committee on Student Conduct
concerning disciplinary removal of
students from residence halls. The
iss action on
endorsementwas overlook as
students discussed the merits of
the committee proposal. It was
pointed out that the Senate had
no authority over the proposal
and so those concerned should use
other channels. Endorsement was
approved in a voice vote.
A motion to adjourn was asked
for but before that could be acted
on student senators spoke on the
polarization that they had felt
during the meeting. Dr. Kuusisto
expressed surprise at this but
admitted that perhaps he saw the
issues through a “different sense.”
Discussion then returned to the
issue of discussion being cut off
on the pass-fail question. Dr.
Perlmutter state that the vote
could be rescinded if anyone
wished to act upon it in future
meetings.
Another senator again moved
for adjournemtn, citing the late
hour as the reason for the feelings
of polarization. A voice vote was
taken and Dr. Kuusisto called the
meeting adjourned. Students felt
that the vote was too close to call
and asked for-a hand vote. The
motion carried and the meeting
adjourned in an air of increased
polarization.
Student Senators voting yes on
the grading proposal were
Coleman, Gibertson,
Goldschmidt, Kamp, Krause,
Looper, Mathias, Neufeld, Staino,
and Vilano. Voting no were
Blumenstalk, Green, Kopp,
LaBarbera, Landesman, Mirrer,
Moriber, Schwartz, Spear,

absent.

“Royal Hunt” opens
fomorrow
British playwright Peter Shaffer
chose to tell the tale of the demise
of a people in his play, THE
ROYAL HUNT OF THE SUN,
which he subtitles “A Play
Concerning the Conquest of
Peru.” The play opens tomorrow
night in the new University
Performing Arts Center.
At the core of this drama,
which depicts the clash of two
cultures in the mid-1530’s, is the
historical confrontation of two
indomitable leaders: the Spanish
Conquistador Francisco Pizarro,
played by Peter Hasler, and the
Inca god-king Atahuallpa, played
by Gary Restifo.
The empire of Atahuallpa
possesses an abundance of a metal
after which the Spaniards
lust—gold. Pizarro’s relationship
with Atahuallpa, his prisoner,
develops from one of man against
god into trust and faith between a
man of truth and powér, who
truly may be “god on earth,” and
a broken soldier.
But true to the violence and
hypocrisy of the early Christian
missionary efforts in the New
World, the Spaniards kill
Atahuallpa and defeat his “pagan”
people for gold, in the name of
their God. The victory of the
Spanish army against the Incas
can only be subordinate to the

Michael Reynold’s adaptation of
Gogol’s DIARY OF A MADMAN.
Performances took place at 8 p.m.
and 10

The play is about a lonely
Russian clerk (Reynolds) who
falls in love with his boss’s
daughter (Mary Carney).
Rejected, he goes insane.
To keep DIARY from falling
into bathos, Reynolds maintained
strict control over his part. The
clerk’s moods, anecdotes, and
moments of terror and misery
were played, necessarily, in a way
that the audience could
appreciate, empathize, and
hopefully identify with. Any false
move, and Reynold’s spell would
have broken—for the clerk is
pathetic; yet he is also universal.
DIARY’s total harmony was
enhanced by the lighting effects
and stage design, Having an amber
spotlight on the daughter, we
realize how she is unique to the
clerk. His empty room. is pushed
back into darkness and forgotten,
as he adores and tries to reach the
untouchable.
And time goes on. The bells
continue tolling, and the music
plays, threatening. The clerk’s
world suddenly collapses around
him, His delusions are shattered;
he has nothing to be anymore but
the king of Spain.
“What strange customs this
land has!” he cries. Even in an
asylum he finds no sympathy. He
has committed the biggest crime
of all: rebelling against his
condition, he tried to be
something other than what an

Pizarro, as he realized that his
friend, Atahuallpa, was as mortal
as himself.

Stage of the Performing Arts

Internationally famed Dionne
Warwick, only four years out of

Dionne has continually been
building her success to where we
find her today: in demand by the
tennybopper in plaid bells to the
gentleman in the black tux.
The evening began with a
whimper—an_unforseeable
60-minute delay. The audience
demonstrated good manners by
not becoming rude but sat
patiently waiting for Miss
Warwick.
Following the swift and
succinct announcing of the new
Homecoming Queen, the
“Constellations” harmonized the
soul-standard “Get Ready” and
the Broadway classic “Sunrise,
Sunset.” The “Constellations”
proved far superior to what I had
expected. Being Miss Warwick’s
fill-in group, they managed
without trouble to surpass many
entertainers State previously has
hosted.
Their accompanying music was
somewhat loud, but this did not
distract from their graceful
dancing and soul singing. The
“Constellations” set the pace by
creating an anxious mcod for’ the
upcoming Miss Warwick.
Blackout—
Spotlight—
Music.
Miss Warwick slowly walked
from off stage to her platform,
singing in her most distinct
manner “Aquarius.” The din of
applause clamored in the
gymnasium for three minutes with
Miss Warwick bowing to the
audience.
Dionne’s melancholy treatment
of “Alfie” produced a mellow
atmosphere as did her sensual
stylization of “The Look of
Love.” Accepting people for what
they are and for the things they
do: is an important theme she
successfully conveyed in her
captivating rendition of “Don’t
Make Me Over.” As she chanted
“‘You’ve Lost That Loving
Feeling,’’ her countenance
expounded her sincerity as a
performer.
The only complaint I have is
that after waiting patiently for an
hour I feel Miss Warwick should
have performed longer than the
45 minutes she actually sang. This
does not alter the fact that State
has never seen a more beautiful,
more talented, more sincere
individual than Miss Warwick. She
was aided by four professional
musicians who did an excellent
job of accompaniment.
Entering the world of Warwick
was aided especially by her
impressive pianist, whose
smooth-flowing notes enticed the-
audience.
“College audiences are very
receptive,” said Miss Warwick.
“They come for a concert, not for
booze or anything else. That’s
what I like. My performing for
them has become very gratifying
for me.”
I found Dionne Warwick’s
inimitable singing sty!z and warm
personality most satisfying. She
displayed for SUNYA students
the spontaneity, sophistication
and expressive mood that only the
queen of female vocalists could
Possess.

RUSHING WHERE?
by Ishmael Malowitz
The night of the candle light
march from Draper Hall tothe
Capitol, I suggested to three of
my fellow marchers that we each
tell a tale to make our downtown
pilgrimage more pleasant. I
promised to reward the narrator
of the best tale with a free Walt’s
sub and a bottle of Pepto Bismol.
Unfortunately, due to lack of
space, I can only set down on
paper one tale. Sincethe Sorority
Sister’s soory is far too obscene
even for the ASP (perhaps with
the. kind graces of the editors an
expurgurated version can appear
next week) and since the
financially needy student, who
secured a three dollar per hour job
through the work study program,
only completed half his tale (he
left the march, as we passed the
downtown Flah’s , to buy another
sport jacket, silk tie, and bell
bottom trousers so that he could

continued from page 3
Concerning possible future
construction at SUNYA, President
Kuusisto. stated that even though
planning was being done for a
west academic extension and a
field house, there were real
problems concerning money
appropriations for these. He did
however, express hope that Indian
Quad will be ready for occupancy
by the next academic year.
President Kuuisisto also made
several announcements at the
conference. He said that he had
met with the student
representatives to the Faculty
Senate and believed that many
constructive results would come
from their participation. But, he
also said, that this in no way
should limit the effectiveness of
the student government.
I will repeat the tale told by the
Fraternity Brother.
Frat Brother’s Tale
The President of Interfraternity
Council began the semi-annual
Interfraternity Choker with his
semi-annual speech. After telling
us that fraternity rushing is an
inane (he meant “innate”) part of
University life and wishing us
good luck and good lushing (I
think he reant rushing), I looked
the list of
over the nine
fraternities in my rush book and
their functions immediately
following the Choker.
Apple Pie Apple was sponsoring
a blood drive at Albany Medical
Center, while Beta Vic Looper
was holding an election. Krappa
Beta, We R. Potted Club, Sigma
Omega Beta (known as SOB by
friend and enemies alike), Theta
High Omega, and Up Your Sig
were all sponsoring beer parties.
The two State Quad Fraternities
were showing stag films in the
Tower East Cinema.
After careful consideration, I
decided to attend the Sigma
Omega Beta beer party, held in
some suspicious looking
apartment over the Central Artms
Bar. As I signed the rush book,
the pleggemaster thrust a paper
cup of beer into my hands. I soon
discovered that those drinking
from paper cups were rushees like
myself; the brothers held mugs
handsomely engraved with the
letters “SOB.”
It took me quite some time to
realize that SOB stood for Sigma
Omega Beta, How could I go
home wearing a _ jacket
monogrammed with SOB? The
neighbors would talk. After
downing a considerable quantity
of beer, I passed out in a state of
drunken exhaustion. Upon
regaining consciousness, I was
reassured that I had definitely
earned an invitation to formal
rush.

Stony Brook Tops Danes, 2-1
The Albany State soccer team
hosted the State University at
Stony Brook on Saturday and
again came away still searching for
their first victory.
State fell behind midway
through the first half when the
ball squirted loose from a big
scramble in front of the Dane goal
and was kicked past the stunned
Terry Jordan, State’s able
goaltender. Thus Coach Bill
Schieffelin’s squad was forced to
play catch up, something which
they have become used to but
have not mastered.
Stony Brook upped its
advantage to 2-0 late in the first
half when a Dane defenseman’s
miskick was converted into a
score when an alert Long Islander
defenseman put the ball into the
net.
In the third quarter, Albany’s
determination from the start of
the second half paid off. Captain
dim Shear scored, cutting the
margin to 2-1, after a beautiful
display of passing from teammates
Demetrius Michael and Gavin
Louder, This was the way the
score remained, however, with
State’s tremendous second half
effort just falling short.
According to Coach Schieffelin,
if he had planned for everything
to go wrong before the season had
started, things couldn’t have
happened better. Absolutely
nothing has gone the Danes’ way.
Admittedly, a team has to make a
share of its breaks. The Danes
have not, yet by the same right,
they still have not received their
own. They have made simple
mistakes, leading to opposing
team goals but have generally
played good soccer.
Obviously, the team’s weakness
is scoring. Thus far, they have
netted only eleven goals for an
average of only 1.25 goals per
game. The defense has been
basically sound and at times
outstanding. It is a shame that
their offensive teammates cannot
score.
Meanwhile, the junior varsity
squad has been creating some
fireworks. After manhandling
Brooklyn by a score of 5-1 last
week, the Baby Danes shut out
Oneonta Saturday by a score of
1-0, Phil Call registered the Danes’
marker.

Helping one another to survive through education
By Andy Bernstein
Brave New World
In the entire world one corporation, one business
dominates the shape of the future, as it is now
calculated and framed. The name of the corporation
is International Business Machines. IBM! This
corporation employs more than a quarter of a
million people and of that number most are college
graduates (none are union members), who are
nursed, groomed, dangled, directed, encouraged,
threatened, converted by a society that requires this
human feed for its blueprints. The stock value of
International Business Machines is more than all the
gold ever collected in Fort Knox. Its activities
reaching into 105 countries and into the minds of
presidents, teachers and churches and parents and
sheriffs, govern much of the world’s advanced
technology. This involves space, under the seas, on
the earth, in almost all of the universities and
individual occupations, governments, congresses,
general staffs, banks, industries... and the hopes
they engened in the hearts of man in his quest for
success,
Who of those targeted for this “brave new
world,” qho study in the American universities, is
really taught? The neglect of the student, paralleling
the neglect of the society from which he springs, is
the twin failure of the university ... for the
university is really the instrument that expresses the
will of that neglected society to prepare persons to
buttress it and extend it. The restrictive philosophy
of general education with its accumulated formulae
and its rigidly defined curricula simply explains why
higher education had better fulfill its responsibilities
to students, and to society ... and quick!
The world has narrowed, the time is fleeting, yet
the university remains parochial. In acknowledging
that the central fact of modern American life is
education and the central onstitution for defining
the quality of American life is the university, what
can we say to those in ferment when they know too
well that no matter how we worship the ivy and
how we measure the methods, they will be sucked
into the vortex of a programmed society that differs
only in degree from the sweatshops that magnetized
their ancestors in their struggle to survive.
The university is the instrument with which the
young define their own special qualities and their
own special growth. They measure the failures of
their elders; and the achievement, as they prepare to
take their places in their world fractured by
violence, isolation and alienation. Their
understanding of what a university should be is so
much more profound than that held by the
faculties, the trustees, the administrators, the pitiful
state legislators and the elusive congressmen.
The upheavals in American campuses are not
effected by the terrorist enemies of the American
nation. In one way they are the incidents in the
contemporary record of our real social, economic
and political revolution. But, fundamentally, they
are manifestations of the emergence of the
university as the one focal institution in.our modern
society. The military-industrial state is jealous of its
guardianship over it. An informed youth, aware of
the conditions necessary to sustain human life and
the democratic spirit, is determined to change it. He
knows that in the miasma that is our land...the
indifferences, the criminality, the special privilege,
the dishonesty of high office,-the breeding of
ghettos, the poisoned environment...must be dealt
with by those who must inevitably take over that
land...the new generation. The university must,
above all, relate to the survival and happiness of that
generation. Their prospects, their enduring, their
power, their minds, must be protected. guided,
trained by the universities..and those universities
must be entrusted to the young while the college
apparatus maintains honorable guardianship over
their humane endeavors.
Studies for Individual Growth
The concern for individual growth must be a
source ingredient in a new kind of school. The idea
of social action, the awareness of the interplay of
society’s pulses and the ability to apply the
students’ emotions and talents to the plotting of a
better social experience must be integral to any
university’s responsibility. The role of personal
experience in its pure and connected forms is
critical to a higher form of education.
Students shall learn what they need to learn.
Curriculum must change from a series of prescribed
courses to a range of resources. Resources such as
aids, community service, books, geographical
involvement, on-site projects, other students.
Organized activities for new kinds of learning
include group courses, meetings, seminars,
community projects paralleling field work, library
study and conferences with faculty, independent
study in which students wit the assistance of a
faculty member designs and pursues an individual
program, and direct source involvement in learning
patterns,
Studies can be selected from human behaviour,
societies, cultures, world problems, physical
sciences, mathematics, biological sciences, the basic
and profound arts (music, architecture, drama, art,
crative writing, literature), education, psychology of
the society, language studies, the American
community, the ghetto, the military, the university,
the industry, the future.
On campus daily work programs require
all-student participation. Work forms must be
plotted. Entire communities, assisted by visiting
experts, are connected to the plans and the
conferences as broad problems of communication,
survival, and municipal policy are faced.
Policy objectives, aids, blocks, criminality,
projection and competing philosophies in all areas
of national and educational life are explored.
Encouragement of social invention and inculcating
in academic life the desire to advance the knowledge
of self-worth into brave areas of needed change.
Students must reshape the quality of modern life,
Not for spiralling profits or a new automobile. For
simple decency so man on this earth will not
obliterate himself and his chemistry.
The main torrent in our national existence must,
inevitably, be education. Goals, however are
hardly defined. The achievement of joy in life has
always been feared by high places and yearned for
by the brutalized and the denied. Western
civilization, through its manacled officers,
suspicious churches, jealous rulers have eschewed
pleasure and joy as a threat to the goal-disciplined
designers of our culture. Matter, energy and massive
development of human resources in critical to the
sustaining of the national pulse. National
unhappiness has resulted, here. National
unhappiness can also flow from the drive to ecstasy,
without goals. The great American script of 1789
opend up the vale of an ecstasy but the thwarting,
the rewriting and the extemporaneous exploitation
has evoked a new language in deceit. 102.4 million
people in our land have right to know just where
birth and survival can coexist with the achievements
of man’s sensory apparatus! Abundance, population
and America’s future can only be directed with
intelligence and sensitivity by a generation educated
in its own fashion.
Schools must learn away from agression and
acquisition and the deep roots of conflict. Belief
once again, in the human dignity and the values of
the species must be revitalized. Universities must
not be poisoned by the national dictum that says
they must provide minds and flesh to counter the
Soviet space program, Swedish steel manufacture,
Japanese production methods.
Concentration on subject matter, heaped on
appallingly neglected generations has spawned a
banality and aimlessness that subverts the human
Purpose. To embrace reason in our new schools
wem must abandon superstition and mindlessness -
dabbling and strengthen the university with a
relationship among students that will make their
lives worthwhile. The leaders of our land claim
insight as a result of greater experience. That is
spurious because the youth today in the colleges are
qualitatively different from other generations.
History has provide this picture so many times
before, it so easily ignored and betrayed just as
many times .
New Values, New World
We here feel the inadequacy of the values so
many adults spawned for us; drives for possession of
things, academic definitions, myth of America’s
good intentions. All this breaks down in the search
for a dignity to the life style. It seems papably
absurd to embrace learning conditions and
university functions while the history of its
bankruptey is a record of catastrophe.
The old values, the old buildings, the old lessons,
the old places, inventions of another time, hold true
no longer in the great excitement of being young
today, and facing the new realities,
Each new generation of students must create its
own forms of learning. The range of possibilities is
enormous. With the dream-like abundances, so
indiginous to our geography and talents higher
education should be available and accessible to all
with the right to reject academic learning in favor of
more fruitful learning experiences if desired.
Choices are possible in the belt that sends young
people into computors and armies and auto and sted
and the myraid of mind furnaces that castrate and
weaken is stopped on route and the value system
that measure all the technocratic domination is
rejected once and for all. The younger generation is
in the process of synthesizing a new wisdom, That is
the real education.
The force shaping the university is that force of
unleashed technology controlled by giant,
impersonal bureaucracies, Instead of radical talking
about historical inevitability, it is now the economic
planners in the state department who cluck
truculently about the great leveling force of
technological development that will, in the same
time, assimilate all learning, all revolutions and all
cultural diversities into one grand, agressive,
machine-civilization.
Setting aside such rhetoric is the thing to cope
with. Shall universities yet be strangled by the
insatiety of socio-economic voraciousness or do we
believe that we as individuals can be changed... and
thence, society. Tied to the trajectory of traditional
learning-or are dead.
Helping one another to survive through new
belief in education is the task before us.

SUPREME COURT DECISION ON BUSES
Student Association
Supreme Court
Decision On the Bus Appropriation to Washington D.C.
(Bill CC 6970-24)
Under consideration is the constitutionality of CC 6970-24 challenged in a referral
presented to the Supreme Court of the Student Association of the State University of
New York at Albany, by Bert Devorsetz. The Court now renders its decision.
Re: Devorsetz referral: “Until November of 1967 Student Association had never
funded any group of a partisan political or religious nature. At that time Council enacted
an allocation ‘of funds for the Young Americans for Freedom chapter organized on the
campus. This allocation was rescinded by a further paragraph of bill 6768-73. No religious
organization to my knowledge has ever challenged the aforementioned precedent.
Central Council has acted in direct contradiction of past statute and precedent, The
group involved will be the first six hundred students to buy tickets for the bus. The
march, not just the war, is a partisan political issue since there, in facts, different opinions
are argued by politicians.”
The Court will now differentiate between a group and a committee,
CC 6869-14—Central Council Rules 1968-1969, Section VIII Parliamentary Authority,
Part A states “The rules contained in Robert’s Rules of Order Revised shall govern
Central Council in all cases to which they are applicable and in which they are not
inconsistent with the special rules of order of Central Council.” Robert’s Rules of Order
Revised, Article IX—Committees and Boards, Section 52—Committees, Special and
Standing states: “It is usual in deliberative assemblies, to have all preliminary work in the
preparation of matter for their action done by means of commitiees. The committee may
be either a ‘standing committee’, appointed for a definite time, as a session or a year; or a
‘special (or select) committee’, appointed for a special purpose; or a ‘committee of the
whole’ consisting of the entire assembly.”
CC 6869-14 Central Council Rules 1968-1969, Section I1I—Committee Formation A.
Standing Committees, Part 3, states: “The following shall be corfsidered the Standing
Committees of Central Council: a. Election Commission, b. Finance, c. Solicitations, d.
Student Ambassador, e, Student Tax.” CC 6667-47, Political and Social Positions Policy,
states in Section II Committee, part 1, “That there shall be established a Political and
Social Positions Committee, as a standing committee of Central Council (P.S.P.
Committee).”
CC 6768-73 part 1, states: “. . that Student Association monies shall not be used to
directly finance any group which advocates any specific partisan political viewpoint.” and
part II, states: “. . that the Budget passed for Young Americans for Freedom be
rescinded.” The Court feels that the Young Americans for Freedom is a definite political
partisan group which espouses a definite political doctrine as stated in the constitution.
The American College Dictionary states a standing committee is “‘a permanent
committee, as of legislature, society, etc., intended to consider all matters pertaining to a
designated subject.” The Political and Social Positions Committee is not a political
partisan group and therefore is not subject to CC 6768-73. The Court so rules by a vote
of 5-0-0 (Justices Handelman, Healt, Lieverman, Potskowski, and Stephan concurring).
The Court will now consider the constitutionality of bill CC6970-24—the
appropriation to Political and Social Positions Committee.
Majority Opinion
The Constitution, Article I, Central Council,
Section 3: Duties and Powers, part d states: ‘‘The
Central Council shall be empowered to provide
effective communication for relating students of the
University Community and with the broader
community as well.”
Section VIII—Political Involvement of CC
6667-47 states: 1. “That it shall be the primary
responsibility of the P.S.P. Committee to study and
coordinate involvement in political and social
controversies and questions, which are above and
beyond Position Statements. 3. That it be the
primary responsibility of the P.S.P. Committee to
make recommendations with respect to any such
involvements.”
The Court feels precedent had been set in CC
6869-115—Action on State Cut to Education which
supported “a massive letter writing campaign to the
New York State Legislature in order to protest the
proposed cut in State aid to education. . .” and CC
6869-119 which transferred monies for the
implementation of this writing campaign P.S.P.
Committee coordinated. (The American College
Dictionary states on to coordinate: “To combine in
harmonious relation or action.”) the efforts of the
student body.
On October 2, 1969 P. Committee introduced
into Central Council a petition, signed by 2,797
students, petitioning Central Council to assist them
“in financing a fleet of buses to be sent from
Albany to Washington” on November 15, 1969.
The Court rules that this action was an action
coordinating the efforts of the 2797 petitioners. CC
6970-24 was “above and beyond” a Position
Statement (see CC 6667-47 Section IlI—Position
Statements) and P.S.P. Committee was therefore in
its capacity to make recommendations to Central
Council in the form if a bill (CC 6970-24). In light
of the Constitution (Article I, Section 3, part d) and
CC 6667-47 (Section III) the Court rules bill CC
6970-24 to be constitutional by a vote of 3-2-0
(Justices Handelman, Lieberman, and Stephan
concurring, and Justices Healt and Potskowski
dissenting).
Minority Opinion
The Court does not dispute the power of Central
Council to actively relate student interest to the
community at large as well as to the University as
stated in the Constitution, Artice I, Central Council,
Section 3: Duties and Powers, part d (as
aforementioned), The Court also agrees that CC
6970-24 was above and beyond a Position
Statement (see CC 6667-47 Section IlI—Position
Statements) and that P.S.P. Committee has the
power to “. . .study and coordinate involvement in
political and social controversies and questions,
which are above and beyond Position Statements.”
Coordinate is defined by the American College
Dictionary as, “To combine into harmonious
relation or action,” ie., to bring together. The
Court contends that Political and Social Positions
Committe in sponsoring bills CC 6869-115 and CC
6869-119 (which have been termed precedent
setting legislation) and CC 6970-24, providing for
the allocation of financial assistance to groups or
individuals expressing a particular interest or cause,
did not act within the limits of CC 6667-47 as
defined in Section VIII.
Maré
emia
bill CC 6869-119 which related to a particular
interest or cause—aid to education in New York
State. CC 6869-119 allocated $385.00 to cover
expenses of writing letters to students’ parents
asking the parents to write their state
representatives in protest of Governor Rockefeller’s
requested reduction in aid to education.
On October 2, 1969 P.S.P. Committee introduced
into Central Council bill CC 6970-43. The Student
Association Brief stated that this “...petition of
2797 manes served as the Council’s basis for
financial support...” The petition stated: We the
undersigned hereby petition Central Council to
support, for humane and moral purposes, the
anti-war march on Washington on November
15,1969, and, we also petition you to assist in
financing a fleet of buses to be sent from Albany
to Washington on the same date, so that those
whishing to do so may have the opportunity to
denonstrate against this unhumane and immoral
war.
The Counrt maintains that bills CC 6869-115, CC
6869-119group, but are of a supporting nature.
Webster's Third New International Dictionary
defines support: To uphold by aid, countenance, or
adherence: Actively promote interests or cause of.”
By allocating funds to finance the
aforementioned letter writing campaign and the
buses to Washington the Court rules that bills CC
6869-115, CC 6869-119, and CC 6970-24 presented
by P.S.P. Committee are beyond the legal
limitations as set forth in Section VIII of the P.S.P.
Committee Policy Statement and are
unconstitutional. The Court votes 2-3-0 (Justices
Healt and Potskowski concurring, and Justices
Handelman, Lieberman, and Stephan dissenting. )
Re: Devorsetz referral: “Furthermore Council has
acted in breach of its trust with the student body.
Since the student tax collected by the Student
Association is mandatory, not voluntary, the
Council is in fact charged with a greater
responsibility than it was when Student Association
was voluntarily joined. The Board of Trustees noted
this in their recent pronouncements (Court:
seeBoard of Trustees Resolution of May 16, 1968 -
302.14).
On a referendum held on April 28-30, 1965, 24%
of the student body (20% needed for a valid
referendum) voted 787 in favor, 91 against, and 6
abstentions (q.v. ASP May 4, 1965) in favor of the
proposed Student Association Constitution now in
use.) Article I, Section 3, part f states “The Central
Council shall have the power to determine student
tax, to establish general financil policy, to allocate
funds, and to have ultimate power of audit and
control of student finances.”
The Board of Turstees relolution 302.14, gave the
Student ASsociation the power to “fix and assess
upon themselves an annual fee.” On a referendum
held on April 30-May 2, 1969 1070 people voted
(20% or 979 people needed for the referendum to
be valid) 563 to 507 (q.v. ASP May 6, 1969), in
favor of having mandatory student tax.
Henceforth Central Council has become a duly
elected body based upon majority rule and the
protection of minority rights. Minority rights are
Protected by voice of dissent, election of
representatives to Central Council, and by appeal to
the Supreme Court of the Student Association.
Central Council has the power to dlelgate monies
and its misappropriation may be appealed. Student
Association (ie. Central Council) has a greater
responsibility to all members of the University. Teh
Court is in agreement upon this point by a 5-0-0-
vote (Justices Handelman, Healt, Lieberman,
Potskowski, and Stephan concurring.)
The Deworsetz referral makes reference to the
Board of Turstees Resolution 302.14 as to what
types of programs may be supported by an annual
fee. The Court’s jurisdiction “shall extend to all
cases, in law and equity, arising under the
Constitution, the laws of Student Association, and
enactments made or which shall be made, under
their authority.” (Article IV, Section 2 - Student
Association Constitution) Resolution 302.14 does
not come under this urtisdiction, therefore the
Court shall not rule on this point.
Re: Devorsetz referral: “The issue then may
come back to whether the war or the march is a
pertisan issue, I believe strongly that it is.”
According to the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court (Article IV, Section 2 - Student Association
Consistution), the Court shall not rule or state its
opinions on the morality or political implications of
the war or the march.
So Rendered by the Supreme Court of the Student Association of the State University
of New York at Albany, this Twenty-Seventh Day of October, Nineteen Hundred and
Sixty-Nine.

Action not talk graffiti
goal of new group
by Liz Elsesser Meetings of the Women’s TODAY There will be a meeting of the Undergrads; does the
Women’s Liberation Movement,
a newly formed campus
organization is working hard to
achieve recognition on campus.
They are in the process of drawing
up a charter, as well as obtaining
literature and organizing publicity
committees.
Female status and awareness
were among the discussion topics
at yesterday’s meeting. The reason
why there are so few women in
full time, high university positions
was questioned. Women are often
centered in home life, but this is
not by choice.
This organization feels that
women must act, not just talk. To
facilitate this, Women’s Liberation
Movement has decided to sponsor
programs, literature tables, guest
speakers and films. Thought and
action on the part of women is
more important than legislative
Process.
Beginning with campus
problems, the Women’s Liberation
Movement hopes to then branch
out to more important aspects of
the “feminine mystique.” One felt
that the infirmary set up was
unfair and that women should be
issued birth control pills. It was
mentioned too that hours for
women on other campuses need
to be abolished.
On the national level, women’s
status must unquestionably be
raised. The few women who hold
any sort of influential positions

President’s
Press Conference
by Judy Baldasain
‘The major portion of President
Kuusisto’s weekly conference
Monday dealt with the Pass-No
Grade proposal discussed by
Faculty Senate yesterday. The
president stated that such a
system would enable freshmen
and sophomores to more easily
adapt to college life, but there
would also exist the danger of a
resultant general lowering of
standards on the part of both
faculty and students,
In relation to this question, Dr.
Thorne, Vice President for
Student Affairs, stated that he
was against this proposal, even
though he was for the concept
behind it. According to Thorne,
the current proposal was unfair to
students in that it did not allow a
student to know his. academic
standing.
In response to a request by the
Non-Violent Action Group for use
of university facilities for a draft
counseling center and library, Dr.
Thorne said that a go-ahead had
not been received but that a more
formal answer was forthcoming.

Editorial Comment
No Requirements
Why should a Political Science or English major be forced to take
twelve; credits of math-science? Will the fact that he has fulfilled
univeristy requirements pacify the student who has not had the
opportunity to fulfill his own requirements? We think not.
The intellectually stimulated student is selt-motivated. He will take
courses that satisfy his intellectual desire; however, as of now, he must
also take courses that satisfy somebody else’s definition of intellectual
desirability. This student learns nothing (maybe a few facts) from
these courses. Sometimes he is so bored that his personal motivation is
decreased as a result.
With the coming of departmental programs university-side
requirements are no longer necessary. Departments may exempt their
majors from every requirement but the accumulation of 120 credits.
When will this universitylearn that the theory behind the necessity
for education is a theory based on individual self development and
self-help, not forced conformity for the purpose of common
knowledge.
Students forced to take poorly taught, uninteresting and irrelevant
introductory courses will not want to continue education. As a result
they cannot spend time with more mipd-expanding courses. They will
know however, that the purpose of the yniversity is to get that degree,
signifying no personal accomplishment.
Faculty too, should be freed from taking courses which are a
“source of frustration and a waste of time to themselves, departments
and students.”
Students today, it was noted by Dean Morris, are entering
universities with “a level of instruction and sophistication not
congruent with the level of frehsman course offerings.”
These introductory courses, however, are made the prerequisit for
more interesting upper level courses.
Exposure to alot of disciplines is important. Forced exposure
defeats its own purpose and does alot more harm than hood. The
student will not become self-educated if external forces continue to
COMMUNICATIONS
Demonstration goodness
To the Editors:
I hope that the recent orderly demonstrations for
peace by the University students of America have
opened our mind’s eye to their goodness. Far too
many adults are all too content with a superficial
and shortsighted appraisal of youth. I believe that
very many of these students have a much better
grasp of the facts and chronoly of the Vietnam War
than we do as adults. I believe that they more
sharply discern the contradictory statements of our
politicians, as their past statements relate to their
present actions, or lack of actions.
Are the reasons for continuing to permit the daily
loss of lives both civilian and military valid ones? If
there are valid reasons, in what sense are these
reasons valid? Granted the premise, that human lives
everywhere on this earth are precious, let our minds
and consciences come to deal with these questions
with only two objectives, One is truth, the other is
justice. What is the truth? How do we justify the
continued killing? What “will work or will not
work” in the mind’s eye of our politicians has
nothing to do with the answers to these questions.
Damn the pragmatic to hell’s door! In the name of
the pragmatic we have fiddled and fussed too long!
Too long have we hidden our faces from the fact
that it is possible to know the truth! The hour is
late. We must search our souls. Truth measures us!
Do we know that? Are we failing truth by turning
our backs, by not looking? - our fellowmen will find
it hard to forgive us. Is it possible that our students
have become more concerned with the answers to
these questions than we have as adults? Do they
have more anxiety in their hearts over these events
than we do? I am ashamed to say so but I believe
that it is true. If it is not true, than for the love of
God let us prove it!
This very week past, the names of our fellowmen
who have lost their lives in this still continuing
tragedy, have been echoed and re-echoed from east
to west on the lips of our students in a personal
tribute, in a tribute to what it means to be a person.
Our dead will bless them God bless them for their
concern, for their insight-a person is sacred to
them! You and I Mt. Citizen had better believe that
they love us, The students have given us signs. God
help us if we no longer believe in signs for while it is
forgiveable to lose one’s way - God help us if we
tear up the map.

NDC, CYD, YD
To the Editors: =
Your article on the New Democratic Coalition in
the October 21st issue of the ASP contains a great
deal of misinformation about the Young Democrats.
The first correction to be made is the distinction
between the Young Democrats and the College
Young Democrats. The College Young Democrats
(CYD) is a college group and a separate organization
from the Young Democrats (YD) which is made up
of non-college people under the age of 35. The YD’s
were recently disbanded by the Democratic State
Committee,
Contrary to the information in your article the
CYD’s receive no funds from the Democratic Party.
Although we are the officially recognized student
organization of the Democratic State Committee
and the Democratic National Committee, we are
provided only with office space by these groups.
Being the official student group of the
Democratic Party has not prevented the College
Young Democrats from taking positions at variance
with the Democratic Party structure. In 1966, the
College Young Democratic Clubs of America were
expelled from the Democratic National Committee
for the remainder of the Johnson Administration,
because of their strong stand against the Johnson
policies in Vietnam. At its annual convention in
June, the New York State College Young Democrats
refused to endorse the Democratic nominee, Mario
Procacino for Mayor. College Young Democrats, as
a group, have taken positions at great risk in the
past and continue to do so today.
The SUNYA College Young Democrats
appreciate the- value of NDC—some of us are
members of NDC, or have worked with NDC, But
we can also see the value of CYD. Since we are the
official student organization of the Democratic
Party, the party leaders come to CYD, not to NDC,
to hear the voice of its student supporters. Indeed,
National Chairman, Sen. Fred Harris, will be
listening to the result of the National Convention of
the College Young Democratic Clubs of America to
be held in Nashville, Tennessee next week.
In short, support of NDC does not necessitate
opposition to CYD. In fact, of one supports NDC, it
is foolhardy not to support CYD, since CYD already
has a voice in the Demoeratic Party.
Marcy Boyle
Regional Director, College Young Democratic Clubs
of America.
Linechecker
To the students of Albany State:
I am a linechecker for the State Quad dining
hall, who has a bone to pick with 60% of you. The
new foodservice policies are well known to all of
you and apparently disliked by most of you; therein
lies my gripe.
Within the last two weeks I have witnessed the
most disgraceful behavior that I have ever seen.
No-one has deduced the fact that foodservice
policies are NOT, for emphasis NOT, decided by the
student workers. Instead they are treating us as
lowly peons ho deserve obscenities, dirty glares,
grabbing, and shoving, The joke of lifting the
mealeard face-high and smiling stupidly and saying
“That’s really me” loses its flavor after 200 comics.
Being branded with obscenities can be taken only so
long. Being ignored to the point of refusing to show
mealcards, sneaking in while friends keep me busy,
ete., since it can cost a student his job, also wears
thin.
So the next time you get a “hard time” on the
line, remember how many times you and your
companions asked for it, and how long we, the
student help, refrained from giving you exactly
what your revolting behavior has so deservingly
earned you.
With disgust,
Gary Anderson
Pathos People
To the Pathos People:
To you who want me to “die and be beaten
fighting for a legitimate cause” in Washington: for
some reason you remind me of a General, calling for
troops to fight the Red Menace. Although you may
be radically opposed idealistically, you give me a
noble goal whose means are just as morally
disgusting,
Maybe the Stones preach “violent revolution,”
but they also suggest that riot and violence is
Satanically inspired. And I cannot excape the
feeling that you will watch me bleed from the
television in your room.
