THE WEEKEND OF OUR DISCONTENT
by Vicki Zeldin
‘The unexpected announcement
that Gerry Wagner would not be
rehired by the University sparked
the call for an emergency meeting
of students last Friday night.
Utter disbelief was visible on the
faces of many of the students as
the news spread and the crowd
gathered in the Campus Center.
From the original meeting place
in the Fireside Lounge, the
meeting adjourned to the ball-
room where students let off some
steam.
Those students that had been
involved in an administrator-
faculty, and student meeting that
afternoon were perhaps the most
disillusioned. Part of the content
of the meeting was the possibility
of establishing a Forum to deal
with elucidating and airing the
recent campus issues. After the
Wagner decision, however, the
general consensus was “fuck the
Forum.” Students felt that the
hastily set up meeting was an
attempt by the administration to
appease the some 100 students
that were milling about the
Administration Building that
afternoon.
Many of the 100-150 students
who were in the ballroom felt that
the rest of the student population
must be informed as to what the
administration had done (namely,
fire Wagner) and what it had been
doing all along (lying). At this
point most of the students, some
banging tin ash trays, decided to
sweep the quads and rally the
other students to their cause.
After going to all the quads the
students, now some 300-350
strong, marched through the Cam-
pus Center and out towards the
Administration Building. Between
entering and exiting the Campus
Center, the number of students
dropped to about 200.
Vented Anger
‘As they marched towards the
building banging their self-
-invented instruments, they
chanted, “2-4-6-8-fuck in the
streets and smash the state” and
“no more shit, no more shit,”
Once upon the building only a
very few of the 200 persons
Zctually contributed to the
damage. At the sound of a police
siren the majority of the students
scattered.
Seeing no police or security,
they reassembled between the
library and the Social Science
“building. Here they attempted,

Dialogue Set to Facilitate
University Communication
by Carol Hughes
Acting President Allen Kuusisto
is expected to officially announce
today the cancellation of Thurs-
day and Friday classes for an
‘opening up’ of the University.
The cessation of classes is intend-
ed to free all members of the
university community for an act-
ive participation in a program of
meaningful dialogue.
The dialogue is planned as a
‘position plan to educate people’,
according to Jeff Wasserman, one
of the leaders of the activity. Free
communication between repre-
sentatives of the entire University
community will hopefully lead to
definite suggestions for the
improvement of our present situa-
tion. Security police, maintenance
personnel, secretaries, as well as
students, teachers and administra-
tors are strongly urged to partici-
pate.
The library is the tentative lo-
cation of the discussion since it
seems most conducive to com-
munication in small groups. Par-
ticipants will be able to freely
choose the direction of their talk
since many diverse groups can go
on simultaneously. The objective
of this easy atmosphere is to
completely get away from any
structure, pressure, or coertion.
‘The organizers of the program,
a rapidly expanding group, hope
to continue ‘dialoging’ from 9am
Thursday to 12am Friday. This is
not to achieve some marathon
talking session, but rather to pro-
vide a continuing opportunity for
individuals to participate.
Two desks will be set up in the
library to provide central organi-
zation and service to participants.
‘An information desk will provide
answers to any specific questions
brought before particular groups.
A second table will be set up to
accept all suggestions for improve-
ment from individuals or groups.
Eventually these suggestions will
be coalated and published.
A mimeo department will pro-
vide free service to any in quickly
communicationg special ideas to
the other groups. How is support
to be solicited for this unusual
program? Students and faculty are
asked to personally urge others to
participate. Free communication
entails this kind of personal con-
tact and publicity.
A general meeting will be held
Friday afternoon to handle any
questions, issue any strong recora-
mendations, and perhaps even
enact some resolutions introduced
in the dialogue sessions.
‘Maybe this is what a university
should be’, stressed Wasserman.
The dialogue has met with an
overwhelming positive response
since the need for communication
has been sorely felt in the past
few week. The whole University
can ‘open up’ and respond to the
problems facing us. As Wasserman
put it, ‘perhaps it can make us
into a community’,
though not too successfully, to rip
down the fence that was enclosing
the area designated as one of the
much disputed sunken gardens of
the future. Unable to do much to
the fence, a few students pulled
out sticks and proceeded towards
the library.
At the library several students,
from different factions, spoke to
the approximately 100 remaining
students. The speakers con-
demned the students for running
away and reminded them that
security now knew that they only
had to sound a siren to scare
them. By this time, the library
had been closed, and the students
that had been ejected from there
and curious passers-by were added
to the ranks.
Strike!
The students then returned to
the ballroom where much talking
and yelling ensued. Some men-
tioned that the window-smashing
had proved nothing. Others felt
that it showed the administration
how upset and frustrated they
were over all the duplicity and
lying that the students encoun-
tered.
Cries from the audience, that
numbered about 300-350, were
for a'defining of the issues and a
defining of the leadership. These
questions were answered by a
variety of students who were near
the microphone. Factionalism was
evident, both in the leadership
groups that spoke, and in the
views they presented. Although
the views all hit around the same
general topics, no clear definition
of the situation was established.
Finally a group of students
voluntarily formed an ad hoe
steering committee to help clarify
the issues. This committee, with
about 40 students present,
haggled for several hours. Finally,
those not on the steering com-
mittee were asked to leave, and
were told that if they wanted to
they could voice their ideas and
views through written messages.
Sometime between 2:00 and
3:00 a.m. the committee returned
to the ballroom and addressed the
remaining students concerning
what had been accomplished.
Quiet Saturday
Saturday, the Ad Hoc Steering
Committee of 12 students met in
a semi-closed meeting. At list of
19 demands had been drawn up.
Several faculty members were
present and after wallowing
through extensive debate Jeff
Smith, an instructor from the
Anthropology Department, took
the meeting into hand. It was
agreed that Paul Ruffer, a student,
and Louis Lieberman, an
instructor from the Sociology
‘Department should rewrite the
demands so they could be
presented to the University com-
munity with a minimum of misun-
derstanding and a maximum of
clarification.
Paul Mann from the University
College spoke to the committee
and warned them that if the
movement and the leadership
were not supported by the Univer-
sity community they would be
charged with an elitist attitude
and with having their own
“personal ego trips.” He said that
as the movement stood at that
time it was nothing more than an
“autistic revolution.”
In addressing the group, Jeff
Smith stated that some action
must be taken. “Action leads to
an ideology.” He inferred that
there must be some kind of action

Checks
by Kathy Eckerle
The Faculty-Student Associa-
tion has recently changed the
check cashing procedures at the
campus Center. This was due to
the financial loss suffered because
of the return of many “bad”
checks. Most of the checks were
made from one student to another
from checking accounts that were
closed or had insufficient funds to
cover the checks.
Under the new procedures,
only checks under a fifty dollar
maximum limit, instead of the
usual limit of one hundred dollars,
will be cashed. Also, the check
cashing service will no longer
accept three-party checks.

Teach-in
by Joe Slack
There is infinite talk about the
critical state of the environment.
April 22nd may be just some
more talk, or it could be an
environmental teach-in. A teach-in
goes beyond talk. PYE has been
working on the teach-in and has
developed the following goals:
1, There is a tremendous lack of
public awareness concerning the
environmental crisis. The teach-in
shall involve the people in the
state of the world.
2. Concerned people need in-
formation. The teach-in will be a
start towards making information
available to people so decisions
affecting the environment may be
made intelligently.
3. Concerned and informed
people need courses of action.
The teach-in hopes to provide
some courses of action by which
people may affect a change in that
which presently destroys our qual-
ity of existence.
Thursday, March 19 there will
be a meeting in L. C. 23 to get
people to work on the teach-in.
People with beautiful ideas and
strong bodies please attend.

The Shadow speaks at the University Senate meeting yesterday.
Despite rumors, he is alive and well.
But where?
—-rosenberg
by Bob Warner
The University Senate yester-
day overwhelmingly passed a reso-
lution proposing “that the Univer-
sity be ‘opened up’ Thursday and
Friday of this week for the pur-
pose of dialogue.” This resolution,
if accepted by Acting President
Allen Kuusisto, will close regular
classes on those days to allow
students to participate in the dia~
logue.
The rationale of the resolution
was that this was probably the
best way to curb violence on this
campus. As one student put it,“If
this bill isn’t passed, we are all in a
lot of trouble.” Nearly every sena-
tor agreed, though, that it would
be worthwile to cancel regular
classes for such a purpose, thus
dissipating mistrust and hate
among the administration, faculty
and student body.
Before the Senate took action
on the resolution sponsored by
Professor Mauritz Johnson, Presi-
dent Kuusisto addressed the Sen-
ate and a group of about 150
students.
CURE Proposes an End to
Undergraduate Requirements
Last Spring, a proposal to elim-
inate the general undergraduate
degree requirements at SUNYA
was presented to Faculty Senate,
after having been reviewed and
approved by the Curriculum Com-
mittee and Undergraduate Aca-
demic Council of the Senate. The
proposal was tabled, primarily be-
cause it lacked a plan of “imple-
mentation” and needed proof of
significant support throughout the
University community. The Com-
mittee for Undergraduate Re-
quirement Elimination has under-
taken to supply the imple-
mentation plan which was called
for, and is circulating this plan,
along with the original proposal,
to gauge the degree of support

Mayor Corning
At a press conference at Albany
airport, Mayor Corning called for
city wide co-operation with Pro-
ject HYE (Help Your Environ-
ment) last Wednesday. Sponsored
by the Northeastern Environ-
mental Council, the project is a
joint effort of scientists and lay-
men.
During the month of Aujust,
5000 collection foils will be
placed in the yards of volunteers
within a 15 mile radius of the
airport. The foild will capture air
particles that will subsequently be
csientifically evaluated.
Cooperating in the project are
the State Health Department, the
Civil Defense and government and
industrial officials. The collection
foils are being made free of charge
by the General Electric Company.
Dr., Thaddeus Murawski, of the
Health Department and a phy-
sician specializing in the effects of
pollution on health was also pre-
sent at the airport. He said that it
was difficult to determine the
exact effects of pollution but did
say that scientists are of the opin-
ion that they do cause respiratory
ailments and possibly shorten life.
Though HYE may not be the
most accurate of scientific
methods it’ is one way to unite
scientist and layman in an effort
to attack a problem that has
become critical.
which exists for the program.
To further educate the Univer-
sity community about the plan,
CURE is scheduling a series of
open hearings throughout the Uni-
versity for the week of April
6th-10th. CURE will also be at-
tempting to discern student sup-
port for the proposal by con-
ducting an open poll on April 15,
16, 17 in the Campus Center main
lounge.
At the April 20, 1970 meeting
of University Senate, the issue of
undergraduate requirement elim-
ination will be brought before the
members of the Senate. At that
time, the committee would like to
be able to present University
Senate with evidence of support
for the plan of eliminating general
degree requirements:

® Senate Endorses Dialo
No Classes Thursda
Kuusisto, heckled and yelled at
by students quite often, called the
events of the last few days a
“crisis of the first order.” He also
called for “a lot of soulsearching”
becausé—the university is now
greatly polarized.
The President made reference
to the incident Friday night where
twenty-five window panes were
broken in the Administration
Building. He said, however, that
there were no personal injuries.
A Senator asked if those who
broke the windows would be pro-
secuted. Kuusisto said that al-
though no one has been identified
yet, he does intend to have these
people prosecuted if and when
they are identified. He said that
the university itself does not of-
ficially have photographs of the
offenders, but did not deny that
others might.
Kuusisto was also attacked per-
sonally for his actions during the
past’ weekend. One student
said,““How can we believe a man
who has proved himself to be a
liar.” Another student asked why
Kuusisto didn’t follow Dean Perl-
mutter‘s recommendation reap-
pointing Gerry Wagner as 4 lectur-
er for one year. Friday night,
Kuusisto had issued a statement
upholding the original decision of
the Department of Rhetoric and
Public Address.
Kuusisto replied that his act-
ions, while possibly contradictory,
were not made out of malicious-
ness or ill-will, but had merely
been a matter of judgment.
Kuusisto also said that O'Reilly,
Acting Vice-President of Aca-
demic Affairs, played a large role
in the decision.
Concerning Clara Tucker of the
History Department, Juusisto said
that action is forthcoming shortly.
Dr. Peter Krosby, History Depart-
ment Chairman, has already rec-
ommended favorable action on
Tucker.

In other business, the Senate
proposed that the physical educa-
tion requirement. for the Class of
1973 be limited: to. only one year.
In a bill introduced by Senator
Jack L. Schwartz, Senate pro-
posed that “if requested by ten
members of the University Com-
munity, any individual on campus
for the purpose of recruitment
shall be subject to a public hearing
on campus to answer questions
pertaining to his intent and pur-
poses.””
In a bill introduced by Jack
Schwartz and John Reilly, Senate
recommended that all personal
records remain ‘totally confi-
dential” except to the student
involved.
The Melville-Steinmetz Pro-
posal for Coeducational Living
was passed in accordance with the
recommendation of “the creation
of sanctioned coeducational hous-
ing.”
The Senate brought up the
problem of deplorable salaries for
graduate assistants at Albany. Ac-
cording to Dr. Krosby of the
History Department, Albany is far
behind the other three state uni-
versity centers in its stipends. The
teaching assistant salary here was
estimated from $2200 to $3400.
‘The Senate also brought up the
possibility of curtailing its own
power in taking political stands,
the rationale being that it was
never intended that Senate have
this power.
Later that evening, Central
Council passed the same resolu-
tion as proposed by Professor
Johnson in the Senate, cancelling
regular classes this Thursday and
Friday in order to open up a
dialogue. President. Kuusisto had
promised earlier Yesterday to ap-
prove the idea if the Senate and
Council passed it, which both of
them did overwhelmingly. Council
also appropriated money for dia-
logue, (12-7-1).
Wagner Fired
The following is the text of
Acting President Allan A.
Kuusisto’s decision concerning the
reappointment of Gerard Wagner.
I know that Mr. Gerard Wagner
and a number of other people are
anxious to learn the outcome of
my review of the question of Mr.
Wagner’s reappointment. I sym-
pathize and appreciate the interest
and concern that all parties have
freely communicated to me about
this matter and regret that the
need to thoroughly explore this

matter, and to assure due process,
has taken so long. In justice to
everyone, however, the review
simply could not be done other-
wise.
At some time in the very near
future I intend to issue a report
on this matter. Some questions,
however, we are honor bound not
to answer because we must re-
spect the rights of individuals.
After a careful review of all of
the material that I have available,
I find that the procedures fol-
lowed by the Department of Rhe-
toric and Public Address were fair
and anticipated the spirit of the
recently issued University Senate
Guidelines for Student-Faculty
Consultation. I find no reason not
to accept the departmental recom-
mendation that Mr. Wagner not be
reappointed to another’ term in
that Department. It should be
clearly understood by everyone
that this in no way implies any
reflection on Mr. Wagner as @
person or as a teacher.
I have sent a personal letter to
Mr. Wagner telling him of my
decision. I will release this state-
ment after ,he-has received my
letter.

Is Deemed A Social Success
by Beth Jo Knapke
Last Friday and Saturday night
the University Concert Band pro-
vided the most exciting perfor-
mance of talented young men and
women in order to raise money
for the underpriveleged children
of Albany and the Capital Area.
The program opened with three
selections which helped the
audience recognize the quality of
good musicians. The last of the
three sparkled with a glorious
combination of dancers and rock
selections from Hair. This im-
mediately made the audience re-
spond with clapping to the music,
nd the whole theater was filled
with spirit. The selections follow-
ing the opening were charming as
well as mysteriously beautiful es-
pecially “In the Manner of Han-
del” and “In Taberna Quando
Sumus” which consisted of a
splendid blending of voices and
percussion. Findlay Cockrell and
Dennis Helmrich played magnifi-
cently, and }he presentation of
two players made Chopin even
more appealing. The finale of sin-
gers, who made the selections
from West SIde Story, My Fair
Lady, Carousel, and the Sound of
Music so very like the originals,
was highlighted with the somber,

Talent Call
Eeeeeetede
Because of the increasing
amount of talented students on
campus, the Ad-Hoc Committee
for the promotion of Student
Talent was formed. The purpose
of this committee is to act as a
liaison between organizations and
talented students and student
groups seeking jobs to perform on
and off campus.
The idea to form the commit-
tee came from the tremendous
response of the students who per:
formed in the 1969 Telethon. In
addition, the Student Activities
Office receives several calls during
the week requesting a wide variety
of talent. Besides off-campus re-
quests new on-campus program:
ming will result in a greater de-
mand for student performers.
If you are interested, pick up an
information sheet in Campus Cen-
ter 364. Groups will be notified of
a short meeting within the next
few weeks. If you have any ques:
tions, please contact Norma Israe!

Recently, many of the world’s
outstanding scientific minds,
which is some cases had pre-

with their honest warnings, ad-
dressed to all of humankind, not
yet realizing exactly, in its modest
ignorance, the dangers of the total
destruction and extinction of an
individual human being.
One, who is most distinguished,
is the Soviet. scientist Andrei D.
Sakharov, being known to the
world’s public, as the father of the
hydrogen bomb, and as one of the
Russian intellectuals resolutely
opposed to the totalitarian and
imperialistic. policy of the Soviet

entitled Progress, Coexistence and

premise for avoiding a disasterous
end to life.
The book was published in
1968 by the New York Times

breakers. Another year elapsed
before he make any substantial
dent in the fiercely competitive
field he had resolved to conquer.
In the years since then, his
record (and his records) can right-
ly be claimed to have kept pace
with or surpassed the achieve-
ments of any of his contempor-
aries. He has displayed his gifts
not only as a guitar, piano, har-
monica, tambourine and mouth
Percussion expert, but as a com-
Poser, lyricist and talent scout.
Among the blues and jazz soloists
who have passed through the
Mayall ranks is Erie Clapton, who
with Mayall in 1966 set a pattern
and started a whole generation of
modern blues guitarists.
If paying dues is virtuous tnen
John Mayall deserves charter
membership in the angel’s club.
For too many years than he
would care to remember, Mayall
has inhabited a unique no man’s
land and that is the music busi-
ness.
Mayall is recognized as one of
the prime forces in the British and
American blues renaissance. Un-
der his tutelage of many of
England’s most prominent blues
musicians developed styles that
were to eventually propel them
into a limelight that Mayall him-
self had never experienced. Eric
Clapton, Graham Bond and Peter
Green are alumni of various edi-
tions of Mayall’s Bluesbreakers
and it was.with a touch of irony
that Clapton remarked recently
that “John Mayall is finally get-
ting the recognition he deserved
all along.”
Mayall’s keen ear was re:
sponsible for the sélection, in
1969, of three exceptionally well-
qualified sidemen for his group:
John Mark on acoustic finger style
guitar, Steve Thompson on bass
guitar, and the remarkable Johnny
Almond, who plays at least a
dozen instruments, most notably
saxophones and flutes.
Mayall’s oblivion was not total
for although general audiences
were unaware of his contribution,
this was not the case with his
fellow musicians. Wherever he
went he was mobbed by his peers
and his habit of jamming with
whomever was “in town” led to
tales of after-session sessions that
are unequalled. All this is is the
past, however, as John Mayall is
no longer a performer whose
records are filed in the “assorted”
bin, A highly successful American
tour, an album (Blues from Laurel
Canyon) and a return tour of the
states have finally provided John
Mayall with the fruition of his
labors.
At a time in our society when
rebellion seems everthing, he has
the courage to speak of love,
homesickness, nostalgia.

Woodstock, that unforget-
sable celebration of love, peace,
and music that has earned its
place in the vocabulary of a
generation and a nation, has
made it to the motion picture
sereen. It was inevitable. Film is
the medium of the Woodstock
generation.
Capturing those three re-
markable days of mud and hap-
piness that seemed to speak for
all the youn at one time in one
place, “Woodstock” is a film by
Michael Wadleigh that was pro-
duced by Bob Maurice for
Warner Bros. release. The
Wadleigh-Maurice Production is
in Technicolor.
Some of the great musical,
performers of our time bring
their unique artistry to “Wood-
stock’: Joan Baez, Arlo
Guthrie, Richie Havens, Jimi
Hendriz, John Sebastian, Sly &
The Family Stone, Joe Cocker,
Ten Years After, Country Joe
and The Fish, Santana and
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
They are all at the top of
their form: appearing before an
audience of half a million young
people breings out the best in
any performer. The result is a
fantastic unity between perfor-
mer and audience such as per-
haps will never occur again.
But at least the equal of the
performers are the young peo-
ple who made up the crowd,
doing all their things in their
own special way. To capture
Woodstock on film required 20
camera crews, operating under
the direction of Michael Wad-
leigh, the young film-maker
who previously had made a
reputation with “No Viet-
namese Ever Called Me Nigger,”
“David Holzman’s Diary” and
milms of such musical perfor-
mers as Aretha Franklin and
James Brown.
Painstakingly edited to thea-
tre-going length from 120 hours
of film, “Woodstock” is not an
attempt to explainvorianalyze
what happened there. It doesn’t
discuss the Woodstock gener-
ation, nor does it offer any
preachments or speeches. Ail
that ‘‘Woodstock” is—for
those who were ‘there and for
those who were not—is what
Woodstock was.

Co-op Power
To the editors:
What is Sttident Power? Co-
operation and respect among the
members of this university? If so,
will the 50-50 representation ad-
vocated by the self-acclaimed Stu-
dent Power groups make the ad-
ministration respect the students?
I think noti. The administration
may grant such a representation
on all committees but will do so
in the context of giving a baby his
pacifier.
Power is influence - ability to
have one’s views respected and
interests furthered. To gain it,
however, one must have an aware-
ness of being, a knowledge of true
needs. Student Power at SUNYA
doesn’t know itself, for it lacks a
soul. It receives little support
from the student body because
those who have cried out for it in
the past do not appeal to the
majority, and so the majority re-
mains uncommitted to the con-
cept (n.b. uncommitted not apa-
thetic.
Student Power is not Student
Pacification, but student respect.
Student Power can’t be them-
selves and before any action is
done the students must realize
that their interests are at stake.
Student Power is not “Power to
the People” but ‘Power to all the
People.” Student Power is co-
operation of all the members of
this university in the improvement
of the quality of education.

Air Demands
To the Editors:
WSUA would like to indicate at
this time that we support the list
of twenty-one demands deter-
mined by the Student Co-
ordination Committee...as well as
the central issue of self-determina-
tion by students. We feel that the
demands with only one possible
exception (number five which the
State Government controls and
which the University can do
nothing about) are well thought
out and will be workable with
some effort on the part of admini-
strators, faculty, and students.
There are four of the points
which we feel are especially im-
portant to all of us—Number one
says the. definition of a University
Department is to include student
majors as well as faculty. Since
the quality of education of a
student for his time here at the
University is governed for the
most part by his major depart-
ment, this demand, we feel, will
help to guarantee students the
best possible education.
Number seven, that Campus
Security officers undergo in-
service training programs to make
them more sensitive to current
student issues and that students
would be involved in campus se-
curity making seems a reasonable
request and one which might
make security considered more of
a service and less of a nuisance...
Thirteen calls for investigation
of FSA by an_ independent
SUNYA committee with student
participation to determine how
profits are being utilized. Students
have been kept in the dark for the
most part about how this corpora-
tion which affects them so much
actually operates. It’s about time
they found out. We've heard
about corruption within this cor-
poration, and if this exists, we
want to see it exposed.
Finally, number nineteen is
probably the one we feel most
strongly about—that the entire
SUNYA community be required
to carry out the faculty approved}
decision that students are to parti-
cipate in all University commit-
tees, reaffirmed by faculty vote in
Winter, 1969. This is to be ex-
panded upon by noting that: the
proportionate composition of the
department committees should be
determined by a consensus of
students and faculty in that de-
partment. The proportion of all
other committees should be ap-
proximately 50-50.
This is the crux of the whole
student power issue. We want to
have a say in the manner in which
this University educates us. By
being represented on a 50-50 basis
on all committees in the Univer-
sity, we will be able to take part
in determining the direction in
which this University, our Univer-
sity, moves.
WSUA also feels that number
twenty-one, which requests am-
nesty for students involved in the
incidents for Friday the 13th,
should be granted automatically
by the administration.

Keith Mann

Right On?
To the Editors:
Congratulations psuedo-radicals
of SUNYA! On the fateful night
of Friday the 13th the bullshitting
psuedo-radicals of SUNYA
“took” over the ballroom for a
whole half-hour (in fact the whole
rebellion lasted two hours!). The
Establishment sounded the fire
alarm and the angry militant oc-
cupants filed out quietly! of the
C.c.
A lot of changes are going to
take place...more together teach-
ers (3 so far) are going to get
fired, control of the University
will be solely Administration, and
students are going to continue to
be “niggers” to the institution.
(Talking about togetherness)—we
only have ourselves, the students
who care, students who are tired
of being subjected to assinine
rules and regulations because we
have finally revealed ourselves as
super-cool bullshit artists.
To you, dear “radicals” I ex-
tend my congratulations and
sympathy for being such Estab-
lishment prick-suckers!
Raquel Alvira
Speak Up!
To the Editors:
Unquestionably there are many
problems facing students today
that must be resolved. Ideas and
help in solving the problems of
the university and the world are
needed from all our students. Yet,
while-everyone has an opinion on
the various issues, few bother to
make them public. Most of those
that do care enough represent
several close knit groups on the
political left. Holding a clear cut
majority at many political discus-
sions such as the one held Monday
in the Administration Building,
they have the appearance of re-
presenting the student body.
These groups generally present
just one opinion and will use
whatever methods they want to
achieve the changes they want.
While in the majority at such
discussions they are quick to stifly
minority opinion, intimidate
whoever stands in their way, and
threaten goon squad methods.
Certianly changes are needed, but
these should be more or less
evolutionary, not revolutionary.
Some of the methods of the leftist
groups may well need modifica-
tion. Yet if the apathetic students
representing various other interest
don’t make their feelings heard at
demonstrations and confronta-
tions this situation will not be
remedied; relatively small groups
will take drastic actions in the
name of the student body.
Students whether moderates,
conservatives or radicals, should
participate in such events so that
the actions of student groups will
represent the attitudes of the stu-
dent body as a whole and not just
a small but active segement of it.
Perhaps then demands placed on
the administration will more ac-
curately represent the true needs
of the student body. If the apa-
thetic continue to allow a small
segment to make all their deci-
sions they have only themselves to
blame for the consequences.
Tom Patterson
Student Role
Dear Sirs:
After being quoted in the
March 10 issue of the ASP, I feel
an explanation regarding my state-
ment (ie. “students are treated
like shit”) is in order.
Students, in my opinion, mean
very little to. this or any other
university. The fact that they do
not have the letters phd following
their names and can not claim to
be distinguished lecturers in one
field or another relegates them to
a position of nothingness. Because
they lack. such credentials their
presence on campus can in no way
bring to the university that quali-
ty which it so desperately seeks:
prestige. From the administra-
tion’s (our’s as well as all other
college administrations) viewpoint
the only difference between us
and Stone’s pillars is that we have
student numbers and the pillars
don’t.
If students did matter to a
University, their opinions would be
solicited as to the quality of their
professors. After all, who is best
able to judge a teacher’s worth
than those people who are being
taught? It goes without saying,
that student opinion is not now
asked for regarding their profes-
sors and is blatantly ignored when
given. For those of you who are
familiar only with Jerry Wagner, I
can remember Waterman and
Rhodes last year and David Har-
vey the year before that.
If students did matter to a
university their opinion would be
asked for regarding the environ-
ment in which they live. How
many of us were ever consulted as
to the proposed field house or the
future expansion of the university
across Fuller Road?
If students did matter to a
university they would have a say
in the courses they choose to
study. Why not- it is your educa-
tion isn’t it? Similarly, teachers
would not have the ridiculous
threat called cut policies - three
cuts and you're out - if students
mattered. If I choose not to at-
tend a particular class the loss is
my own and not the professor’s
In conclusion there is no reason
why students should not have a
meaningful say with regard to
matters which directly affect their
lives - from professors, to trees to trusted the foxes sinces the

day care centers.
Awakened
To the Editors:
The cries of “Student Power”
and “Power to the People” over
the last few weeks at S.U.N.Y.A.
have successfully ended my state
of limbo in the apathetic “Silent
Majority.” The forces active on
this campus in favor of reform
have stimulated in me a renewed
sense of responsibility to the true
priorites of a university education.
It is tragic, however, that my
response to these stimuli is totally
negative. The reforms I might
wish to see implemented have
been forsaken for petty policies
and a mere disguise for a host of
irresponsible actions.
I often question exactly whom
the Student Mobilization Commit-
tee et. al. represents? As far as I
have perceived, they represent a
small number of students interest-
ed in promoting or better super-
imposing a value structure on a
student body who never asked for
reorientation. Gerard Wagner is no
issue here. He never was. He only
represents a tool by which the
“New Left” can better poison the
atmosphere with their _per-
suasions.
Exactly who do they fool in
requesting fifty-fifty representa-
tion in administrative positions?
Not only are students unqualified
to be administrators, they, over a
course of time, would resort to a
similar system in present use re-
garding the tenure of faculty. A
small group of students in such
Positions would have no more
insight in all the issues involved
than does the Administration at
present. What is needed is not a
political restructuring but a sys-
tem of new priorities of university
education. It is conceded that the
present system is harmful for the
student in pursuit of knowledge
since the faculty is bound by
bureaucratic trivia, yet it is abso-
lutely essential that such change
be effected only through responsi-
ble actions.
This nation has existed for ap-
proximately 200 years on the
theories of compromise and social
contract. The nation only stopped
functioning when reason broke
down and a series of demands
became our working criteria. The
same analogy will be drawn to this
Univeristy if the true representa-
tives of “Student Power” allow a
minority of students to pressure
their lives under the threat of
strike and other irresponsible acti-
vities. The nineteen broken win-
dows in the Administration Build-
ing are far from effective persua-
sion. Those responsible have po-
larized the issue into two camps
where effective dialogue is becom-
ing a fleeting reality. Far more
serious is the inconvenience and
infringement on the rights of their
fellow students, those who they
claim to represent.
Never will their point of view
be equated with democratic act-
ion. It is minority rule without
respect whatsoever to the wishes
of the majority. Perhaps if the
“New Left” took the time to
evaluate the position of their
“compatriots,” they might find
themselves well advised to wave
their battle flag outside foreign
soil.
Respectfully yours,
Roy Steven Lewis
Fractured Fairy Tale
by Barry Kirschner
Once upon a time, there was an animal kingdom with stone walls.
Inhabiting this kingdom were thousands of sheep and a few foxes who
were the rulers. For quite some time the foxes were successful in
lining up sheep in neat rows.
‘The goal of this kingdom was to let each sheep become all he is
capable of being. The rationale behind this goal was that if the sheep
were content, fat, and hairy, all would benefit. While sheep were
herded into small, uncomfortable areas, the foxes had their own little
building with woolen carpets.
Eventually a group of wandering sheep with radical tendencies
flocked to the kingdom to spread their ideas. Sheep started asking
questions like, I take the wool! off my back for those foxes and what
do I get besides a bad looking haircut in return?
_ Then one day, one of the radical sheep was told that the foxes
didn’t want him around when the next flock arrived in the fall.
Everyone was upset. The lower animals were angry. Even the goats
were so upset that all they said was “ba-ad.” It seemed as if this sheep
had become a sacrificial lamb. The animals protested.
The biggest fox of all comforted the animals by letting one of his
more popular associates have ‘final jurisdiction on the matter.’ It
turned out that he didn’t mean it and di:
the flock. During the height of frustration
illusionment spread among
the sheep decided to graze
on the lawn made to order for the foxes.
At first the foxy policy was to allow the grazing to go on, but it
was later reversed as the chief fox said, “get the flock out of here!”
The sheep left, and re-discovered that they had neither effective
leadership nor clear objectives.
The slyness of the foxes was impressive. They waited until many
sheep had left for the week-end before they announced that the
sacrificial lamb would not be sspared;. The flock wanted to make. its
feelings known but theyonceagain lacked effective leadership.
Included
individuals
in those who sought positions of leadership were
who hoped to ask the fox to reconsider, individuals who
wanted to burn the whole kingdom down, and some who just
complained about the meaningless existence of suburban life in the
kingdom. The only pre-requisite for leadership seemed to be a hungry
ego.
Eventually the sheep agreed on a program consisting of everything
from greener grass to self-determination over what would be fed to
the flock. If this program was not met some leaders of the flock told
the foxes that they would be sorry.
When the chief fox was formally presented with the program and
told that he would be best off if he acted quickly, he simply asked
why. At this point the flock leaders looked around and noticed that
only a small percentage of sheep were in their corner. Not only were
they in a corner, but there was a solid wall they were up against.
So what happened to this animal kingdom? The sheep never again
'y had been lied to. The foxes have since

Crap
To the Editors:
In response to a letter by M.
Gilbertson, which was an attempt
to uphold the high esteem of RAs
and dorm directors, I rely on the
opinions of those students who
are residing in our dorms. The
RA, and directors may not be
ego-freaks, they’ re pigs. To turn
in a fellow student for such bull-
shit as the present drug laws de-
serves reprisal from the victims.
As far as the other crap in the
letter is concerned, how does he
know whether or not I have ever
lived in the dorns? Personal exper-
iance supports my view that an
RA who is trusted by students is
the rare exception to the norm.
I also recommend that Gilbert-
son read some more Marcuse be-
fore he bastardizes such terms as
“one-dimensional.”
After the recent actions of
dorm staffs on campus, I can see
that if the job of an RA is to
prevent the presence of nares or
campus, (there aren’t any?) thei
actions are much more ludicrous
when they lead students to believe
that they are to be trusted, and
then turn them in to the cops
when they are confided in!
This is undoubtedly a case of
lack of self-determination; resi-
dent students should run their
own lives even inside the dorms,
without fear of searches, seizures
or snooping pigs disguised as RAs
and dorm directors.

Try Unity!
To the “Student Body”(Wherever
it may be),
I have been to two major meet-
ings concerning the relations be-
tween “student body,” faculty
and administration. Both meetings
turned out to be hours spent
shouting, clapping and_ inter-
rupting, and the only concrete
conclusion I can draw from them
is that there is no such thing as
the “student body.” I would have
gotten to the point they are now
in is that we as students are not a
united group capable of initiating
and implementing action in our
own behalf.
So whose voices have we been
hearing in this educational vacu-
um? Well , we have Student
Power, the New Left, Student
Mob., Women’s Liberation Front
and Black Power to mention only
a few.
Where is the Student Body?
How can students negotiate with
or make demands upon an admini-
stration if they as a unity are not
areality? If we cannot address
ourselves as a student body to the
problems we as students now face,
there will be no oneto maintain a
dialogue with the faculty and ad-
ministration, and, just as im-
portant, no-one to shoulder the
responsibility that a 50% student
say in the workings of the Univer-
sity will incur.
I say to those students who are
splintering any real efforts toward
communication that no matter
what group your sympathies lie
with, you are first and foremost
students. May I suggest that those
who insist upon viewing them-

If there ever was what may be

What we need is one voice that

gether, guarantee that it will be

The Confused Majority
Why do the vast majority of students feel that
they have every right to either pack up and go home
Wednesday afternoon or spend Thursday and Friday
catching up in their reading, writing term papers, or
sleeping blissfully until noon.'The reasons appear to
be twofold.
First, the rapidly changing events confused the
majority of students. Central Council gave legiti-
macy to a Thursday strike; an illegitimate group of
approximately 600 students on Sunday night voted
for a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday moratorium and
a Thursday strike; University Senate and Central
Council closed the school for mieaningful dialogue
on Thursday and Friday. Well, how many groups
can close one university and what the hell is going
to happen on Monday after the two days of
dialogue?
Second, the majority of students see very little
reason to close down the university - the 21
demands provide a very shaky basis. Is the function
of a university to provide a babysitter service for
children while their “liberated” mothers attend
class? Can in-service training ever make the campus
security officers more sensitive to current student
issues?’ How can a demand for 50-50 on ALL
committees be logically presented, when so many
committees are presently crying for student involve-
ment?
Meaningful dialogue also provides a shaky basis
for a university shutdown. A majority of students
had enough dialogue at Sunday’s meeting. They are
ured of meeungs with no organization, no leader-
ship, and seemingly no purpose.
If you are a member of the confused and
disgusted majority, we can understand your desire
to take full advantage of the shutdown, but we urge
you to remain on campus. Go to the meetings;
attend the dialogue. If you still feel justified, climb
up the water tower and with all the strength left in
your weary bodies, scream “BULLSHIT.” Like in
Jericho, then a few walls may tumble down.

Where We're At
One thing obvious in viewing the events of the
past few days is that there is no viable revolutionary
tyouth culture at Albany. People are déluding
themselves if they view the events of this past
‘weekend as part of a pattern of radical activity.
There won't be a revolution here for a long time.
Even a strike is doubtful.
It is important to know what we are doing. There
are no simplistic answers. We are all confused. The
problem which has been the underlying cause of all
tension the past few years remains-what is the
extent of student involvement in deciding the
functionof a university? Hopefully, this Thursday
and Friday will stimulate communication and
understanding; elements which are too often
by-passed in a center of learning.

Central Gouncil’s so-called great
step forward Wednesday night was
perhaps one of the most danger-
ous political moves that body has
ever undertaken. In fact, it was a
step backwards as far as the demo-
eratic process was concerned.
Let’s examine the nature of the
bills first. The bills were drawn up
to make sure that Central Council
maintained its position as the
voice of the students. Council
members felt that their power was
going to be circumvented by the
“student power’? movement. What
was forgotten was that the stu-
dent power movement makes up
an extremely small portion of the
total University. What about the
yest of the students? They were
not even consulted as to their
views. This is inexcusable.
The first bill was concerned
with 50-50 student-faculty mem-
bership on various committees in
each department of the Univer-
sity. This sounds great, but it has
been almost impossible to find
students to serve on existing com-
mittees (as was brought up at the
meeting). What makes council
think this will change overnight?
What if there were enough stu-
dents to man the committees?
According to the bill, we are
responsible for interviewing facul-
ty members. Are we: qualified to
do this? Are we to be paid for this
service? Where do we find the
time to do it?
These questions should have
been explored. They couldn’t be,
however, because-of the time fac-
tor, and the nature of the audi-
ence at the meeting.
The meeting did not lend itself
to a serious consideration of the
bills. Groups made noises to
‘drown out statements. Mikes were
grabbed from some speakers and
not yielded to others. From one
side of their mouths some were
screaming freedom, and from the
other side they denied freedom to
others. The people who spoke had
nothing really new or ‘exciting to
Propose. They said things to ap-
Pease the crowd. Their thoughts
were for applause rather than
about the ramifications of the
bills.
Most of the speakers were poli-
‘of up-coming elections. This was
also true of some of the sponsors
of the bills. Unfortunately we will
never really know whether it was
sincere belief or opportunity that
stimulated the sponsors.
The voting that ensued after
the one-sided deliberation was an
outrage to the electoral process.
Members of Council were scared
to vote “no” because it was a roll
call vote and they felt threatened
by the mood of the crowd.
Statements were made to back
the so and so administrators
against the wall. Council had al-
ready been forced against the
wall. If you keep backing people
against the wall, sooner or later
they'll act in haste. A forced
decision will be regretted by both
sides of any dispute.
Central Council should not
have been intimidated by threat.
Perhaps the room should have
been cleared of observers. There
was no communication without
fear among most council mem-
bers. This seems a little ironic
since one of the bills tried to
protect a man whose very idea is
communication without fear.

Sorry
To the Editors:
I would like to apologize for an
inaccuracy in my feature story
entitled “The Gerry Wagner Con-
troversy,’ printed in last Tues-
day's ASP
I stated in the last paragraph of
the article that, because “all sides
have accepted” the renewal deci-
sion, “matters will return to nor-
mal. Unfortunately, I was
opetating under the erroneous in-
formation that-both Gerry Wagner
and, the Administration (specifi-
cally, President Kuusisto) had ac-
cepted the one year term renewal
recommended by Dean Perl-
mutter.
This was not the case, and
events of the last few days indi-
cate the controversy may be far
from over.
Sincerely,
William Rohde
That’s Life
Brothers and sisters,
This life as a college student
is unbearable. Outsiders look at
me and read about me and say
“isn’t he lucky?” Well, fellow
students maybe you are, but I’m
not. Let me give you some for
instances.
First I don’t have anyone to
smoke L & M’s with. Now there’s
nothing as lonely as not having
someone to smoke L & M’s with,
especially if you don’t smoke,
period. Furthermore, I am proba-
bly the unluckiest student in that
I have pot-proof lungs. Like I
can’t get high, man! It all started
when I bought a nickel bag of
alfalfa and failed to get off the
floor. How can I feel that I belong
if I can’t get stoned? The closest I
got was when some little kids
pelted me with snowballs as I was
coming out of Central Markets.
Bad scene. But I can grow a beard
and fake it, right? No deal, my
semi-annual shaving partels are the
closest I get to having fun. I grow
1/10 of an inch of stubble in 6
months and then we (my friend
and I) all have a cake with shaving
cream on it. Worse. And like my
last pair of bell bottoms is ready
to rip out at the crotch. And my
beads keep falling all over my
apartment. Hang on, it gets worse.
Let me tell you how rotten life
really is.
I don’t have a car, not even a
little Volkswagon. Do you know
how much valuable time I waste
waiting for the bus? I could be
reading Marx or something, or at
least trying to get stoned. Never
read any of Groucho’s books,
huh? Like my time is valuable,
dig? Life is rotten, but time is
valuable. Then I can discover how
it gets rottener. I think I'll go
attend some of the student politi-
cal meetings so I can feel brother-
hood and sisterhood and be loved.
Remember Confrontation Mon-
day? All power to the people
May the people get out of their
ruts and be as happy and loving
as we students are! Up against the
wall, all you evil administrators.
You're not human like we are. We
love our brothers and sisters.
Look, I’ve got to admit some-
thing. I’m not as good as the rest
of you students. I can’t even make
a good political speech. Oh,
what’s the use? Please excuse my
frown. Tell me how would you
feel if you didn’t have a car?
I guess I have a shitty attitude.
But I have good reason. I keep
walking into pillar’s because the
left lens keeps falling out of my
wire-rim glasses. No. perspective,
baby! Now, I’ve even lost the
razor blade that. screws the lens
back into place. Did you ever hear
of such a terrible existence? I just
don’t look good in the horn-
rimmed glasses I wore back in my
happy fraternity days. But at least
I was loved then. We really had
brotherhood before the politicals
did. Ask any of my brothers. Why
don’t people talk to me anymore?
I don’t even have a button to
explain what I walk and fight for.
Somebody once put a “love” but-
ton on my chest and the pin
pricked right through my pride
and joy- the hair on my chest.
After that I doubtedmy mascu-
linity, and I still do. I’ve never
even shot a gun or killed a bird.
And I’m 21.
I’m hemmed in. Now I'll grad-
uate and I'll have to go into the
Army. I hope they allow mastur-
bation. There’s really no choice
for a healthy American boy, is
there? Why don’t I just end it all?
And they say that college students
have fun. I’m glad everybody else
are brothers and sisters and love
each other. I guess I’m not good
enough. I wasn’t born in this great
country, so I must be an alien.
Does that explain alienation?
Why? Why!
Respectfully,
John P. Juckema
Criteria?
Dear Sirs:
My wrath has been aroused as
has my habitual apathy (conse-
quently this letter) as a result of
the dismissal of Professor Cadbury
of the Philosophy Department
whose failure to obtain a doctor-
ate and to publish has led to his
dismissal. Why should a man’s
ability be judged on his title or on
the amount of his publications?
Look to his performance as a
teacher which is outstanding. Here
is one man who is more concerned
with teaching and stimulating his
students than with writing or in-
creasing his social stature and eco-
nomic class by affixing a doctor-
ate to his name. How can the
Administration act on such crass,
superficial and material values?
They argue for recognition as an
“accredited school” with qualified
teachers where qualified seems to
mean. possessing a doctorate and
publication. Is it not enough to
leave teachers time to teach crea-
tively and judge their qualifica-
tions by their performance and
impact on their students?
I for one, as a Philosophy
major, feel that the loss of Profes-
sor Cadbury and perhaps the re-
placement of him by Dr. So and
So will not be the gain of a
“Qualified” teacher but the loss
of a man too concerned with the
intrinsic values of teaching than
with the extrinsic demands of a
screwed up (perhaps that is a bit
euphemistic) Administration - an
Admininstration who places ac-
creditation before education.

Greek To Me
To the Editors:
The weakness of Greeks on this
campus is obvious. The reason for
this weakness can be attributed in
part to the increased desire of
today’s student for a feeling of
individuality, a word which su’
posedly lacks meaning in Greek
organizations. But often this criti-
cism comes from people who have
never experienced Greek life, and
who perhaps aren’t fully aware of
what it has to offer. Fraternities
and sororities do insulate their
members from being victims of
the loneliness which faces many
students at large universities, but
it is a mistake to confuse this
insultation with a denial of indivi-
duality.
Furthermore, a large com-
munity such as our university of
twelve thousand people makes it
difficult to realize potential
friendships. An organization such
as a fraternity or sorority can aid
the individual in achieving these
potentials by giving him or her a
smaller community in which to
work,thus making it easier to
change acquantances into friends.
It is hoped that Greek member-
ship will serve as a crystallization
of one’s ties to the university by
giving him or her a greater attach-
ment to the university through
association with a smaller group
of people. This is not to suggest
that one closes his eyes to the rest
of the university after joining a
fraternity or sorority, for this
indeed would be self-restriecting.
The individual must always allow
for changes in himself that may be
brought about by the university
community.

Consider It!
Dear Editors:
Richard Pearsall was worried
about apathy, he has no com-
plaint now. Two hundred children
from the University Community
showed they cared by smashing
twenty windows in the Adminis-
tration building. They didn’t like
the Administration’s decision so
they became belligerent and de-
structive. Now Albany State is in
the news.
We can’t take over any Dean’s
offices or buildings because any-
thing we've ever asked for has
been given fair consideration and
granted. We wanted open dorms
and we got them. We wanted
liquor in the dorms and we got it.
We asked for no hours for fresh-
men women and we got it. But
some people are never satisfied.
Instead of looking at the good
aspects of our school, they search
for more things to complain
about, Sure these are times of
change, but these same demolish-
ers of University property are the
‘ones wearing the peace signs.
Richard Pearsall was also ex-
cited about the rumored
$300,000 that could be spent on
the landscaping going on between
the Biology building and the Per-
forming Arts Center. Well I hope
he starts worrying about the
$1,000 of unnecessarily broken
windows and needless despoiling
of pillars.on the podium. If the
state allocates money for land-
scaping, so much the better, I'd
rather see a garden than some
more concrete!
But what I don’t want to see
are more broken windows,
marked up pillars, and 1/60 of the
University claiming to represent
the whole community with their
radical actions and quest for per-
sonal power. If the students
would take full:advantage of the
representation already available, it
would be obvious that they have
enough to keep them busy. Those
wishing more should have applied
here to be an administrator, not a
student. This is my university too,
and I certainly don’t wish to see it
overridden by an anarchist mi-
nority!

Help Please
To the Editor:
Sometime after 4:30 p.m.
on March 12, my office in the
Administration Building was en-
tered. Among the things now mis-
sing is a small, blue, dime-store
ashtray. It is not worth anything,
but it does have sentimental value
to me, and I would be grateful for
its return. Thank you for your
help.

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
BUFFALO
by J. Stephen Flavin
As we prepare for a hopefully
peaceful two day moratorium of
classes to discuss issues and dif-
ferences dividing the university
community, our sister university
remains in a state of siege
“The streets of our country are
in turmoil, the universities are
filled with students rebelling and
rioting. Communists are seeking
to destroy our country. Russia is
threatening us with her might and
the Republic is in danger. Yes,
danger from within and without.
We need law and order. Yes,
without Law and Order our
nation cannot survive. Elect us
and we will restore law and
order.”
This quote has been attributed
to Spiro Agnew and University of
Buffalo President Regan, but
comes from Adolf Hitler. Many
student factions have been united
in a solidarity strike at the State
University’ at Buffalo. These
groups’ representatives have
formed a Provisional Revolu-
tionary Government to coordinate
student and faculty activities de-
signed to close all formal classes
on campus until ROTC, Project
Themis (Marine Biology and
Underwater Warfare Research),
Acting President Regan, and all
police are removed from campus.
Also demanded is an open ad-
missions policy for all students -

World, and members of the Buf-
falo communityto form a work-
er’s college to make life more
meaningful. The worker’s college
Forty-five Faculty
Arrested at Buffalo
by Kathi Ott
At least forty-five faculty mem-
bers of the State University at
Buffalo were arrested Sunday af-
ter staging a peaceful sit-in at
Hayes Hall, the administration
building on the U.B. campus. Po-
lice, notified of the sit-in, relayed
an ultimatum to the faculty:
Leave the premises, or face arrest.
‘A vote of the faculty unanimously
resolved to remain, and minutes
later, the forty-five were arrested
on charges of criminal trespassing.
Prior to the arrest, the faculty
had released a statement which
read: “Peter Regan and his ad-
ministration have defied the will
of Faculty Senate expressed Wed-
nesday, March 11, for the im-
mediate removal of police. from
campus, thereby making them-
selves responsible for Thursday’s
events. Hence, we the members of
the faculty will occupy Hayes
until the police are removed from
campus and the injunction is lif-
ted.
“We are in sympathy with the
general principles of the strike and
will be fromulating new structures
of University governance to fol-
low Regan’s resignation for the
consideration of the university
community.
“We call on all faculty members
to join us here.”
In court Monday, 45 of the
faculty pleaded innocent to the
charges of criminal trespass and
were released in their own re-
cognizance until their trial, the
week of May 11.
Some 500 students marched in
support of the faculty.

Regan has vowed the police will
remain to protect taxpayers’ prop-
erty as long as “disruptive condi-
tions persist and until peace is
restored.” It is acknowledged that
the 300-400 police are receiving 1
free meal per 8 hour shift - free
because student funds are pur-
portedly being used. The police
are being housed in Clark Gym,
cots and canteen provided, and no
one will comment on who is
footing the $15,000 daily bill.
Students claim since the admini-
stration invited them, the admin-
stration is responsible - but the
administration may have control
of student funds through the fae-
ulty in the faculty-student associa-
tion (FSA). The Public Relations
Office says it is up to the com-
munity or state to absorb the
costs and no university funds
would be utilized.
Student response to police on
campus was epitomized by a day-
long “Pig Roast.” Festivities
began at noon and continued until
eight at night with the arrival of
Jerry Rubin, Tuesday, March 10.
The police intervention not
only united student groups but
aligned some of the faculty
against the administration and
forced entire departments to take
a stand in relation to the strikers
or the administration. The Lin-
guistics Department is allowing
any member to freely choose to
hold classes on campus, or sup-
Port the strike and hold classes off
campus, or not hold any classes at
all. Many departments after
lengthy meetings and_ belated
soul-searching have arrived at simi-
lar positions.
Other departments are forcing
class attendance by having dep:
mental finals and holding indi
ual professors accountable for all
class material the department
heads feel relevant to their respec-
tive fields.
Regardless of material to be
covered, sciences are in a bind
because of lab requirements, it is
the students that paid to attend,
paid for instruciton, and those
wishing to honestly attend classes
and not support the strike are, in
some cases, being deprived and
cheated of their “money’s
worth.” The only alternatives are
to drop the courses, take them
over, or make up the work
possibly over the summer through
an extended school year.
Regan issued a statement claim-
ing the strike a failure and claim-
ing 90% class attendance. Stu-
dents responded by countering
that “on normal days we don’t
even have 90% of the student
Kappa Beta Fraternity
Holding Qothing Drive
by Susan Kellman
This year Kappa Beta fraternity
is holding its third annual clothing
drive for the children of the South
end district. The drive will be held
from Monday, April 16, through
Tuesday, April 24.
During this week, the fraternity
will count on the university’s use
of the depository boxes placed in
the lower lounges of the residence
halls, in the staircases of the Ad-
ministration building, and in the
Campus Center lobby.
In the first year of the drive,
the fraternity collected seventy
pairs of shoes and thirteen hundred
various articles of clothing; the
last drive however, was even more
successful, and the drive ended
with one hundred articles of adult
clothing, and four hundred sep-
arate articles of clothing for child-
ren. This year the fraternity es-
pecially wishes to stress the im-
portance of donating childrens
clothing.
The clothing all goes to the
Trinity Institute in the South
End, after it leaves the university.
The Trinity Institute has a thrift
shop and after they sell the
clothing, the money they earn is
turned over to the various assist-
ance programs in the area.
Every year the success of the
drive has increased. With special
concern for the children, in this
particular drive, let us hope that
they will continue on an up-
ward surge.

body in attendance.” Tours of the
campus revealed entire buildings
void of studious bodies. The over-
all opinion is, “The Strike is
Working!” Whether Regan knows
this was the only undetermined
question.
Not only have students risen in
numbers to take over the campus,
liberate the administration build-
ing and files, but the Peace Patrol,
initiated by Regan, became dom-
inated by concerned students and
faculty desirous of peaceful pro-
test instead of pitched battles and
violent confrontation. “We hope
to maintain an image of neutrality
and curtail violence by our pres-
ence.”
The individual members of the
Peace Patrol were free to join the
Pickets or to attend class, but
when doing so they were to re-
move their armbands, symbols of
peace and neutrality. If trouble
arose, they were free to run or
attempt to break it up; it was to
be an individual choice. But the
Peace Patrol went the way of so
many other fence sitters; com-
ments and criticisms from both
sides, long hours of thankless end-
less patrol, and a sense of fruitless-
ness took their toll and the patrol
was officially dissolved. The buf-
fer zone will never be able to

The faculty unanimously re-
solved that the police should be
removed from campus in a Fac
ulty Senate meeting held in War
Memorial Auditorium last
Wednesday. Four hundred and
seventeen voted to allow Regan to
stay and two hundred and sixty-
three voted for his resignation.
This was after Regan publicly
stated “the police were being
phased out.”
A week later the police are still
besieging the campus. In protest,
45 members of the faculty staged
a peaceful sit-in in the administ-
ration building and were arrested.
They are now free on $500 bail
each and many intend to sit-in
again, perhaps today. F
Very few people on either side
want violence. Many people want
a return to normaley, but not at
the price of sacrificing relevant
issues, of supporting directly or
indirectly U. S. involvement in
Viet Nam , or being dictated to by
a “repressive. and oppressive ad-
ministration” or an unhearing,
unknown Board of University
Trusteeswhose interests lie in the
companies and banks investing in
war and destruction, the vested
interests instead of investing in
their children and their education.

Danes Complete Rebuilding
Season; Sauers Pleased
by Jay Marshall
The 1969-70 basketball season
ended more than a week ago when
Albany downed Brooklyn 83-69.
Coach Sauers thus finished his
fifteenth consecutive season with
a winning record and prospects
for a winner next season seems
good.
Albany began the season slow-
ly, dropping games to Stony
Brook and Plattsburgh after an
overtime victory at Williams. The
team was having trouble scoring
and there was no Rich Margison
to score a clutch basket. The team
was not yet the cohesive offensive
unit it was at the end of the
season. The most important asset
was the team defense which was
ranked among the best in the
nation. As the season progressed
Potter Wins Second
Straight Mat Crown
AMIA held its annual wrestling
tournament this weekend with
Potter Club emerging as the
vietor for the second consecutive
year.. STB was second with 55
total points, eleven short of EEP,
with APA third, garnering 49.
The following men should be
given much credit, not just for

With four starters returning, Al-
bany has the nucleus of a fine
squad next season. Jack Jordan,
will be back for his third varsity
season and will be joined by Jim
Masterson, Al Reid, and Steve
Sheehan all of whom will be
seniors. Coach Sauers has said that
as many as five members from the
freshmen team will move up to
the varsity. Top prospects seem to
be 6-4 Werner Kolln, 6-2 Dave
Welchons, and 6-2 Bob Curtiss.
Transfer students Bob Rossi and
John Quattrochi will be eligible
next season and seem to be the
leading candidates to fill the guard
position being vacated by the
graduation of this year’s captain
Jack Adams. Both practiced with
the varsity this winter and were
members of Potter Club’s League
I Championship team. Two re-
serves from this year’s team, Mike
Hill and Hohn Heher, will also be
counted on next season.
This abundance of talent may
require Sauers to cut members in
a tryout session for the first time.
It is impossible to make an-ac-
curate prediction with the season
still months away, but barring an
unforseeable catastrophe, Albany
fans can look forward to a fine
team next year.

The Albany Mermaids, in their
strongest showing of their 3 year
existence, finished the season
10th among 17 N.Y. schools at
the State Meet held March 7 at

19-21. Sue a sophomore from
Albany will compete in the 50
and 100 yd. breastroke. Marni, a
freshman from Fulton will com-
pete in 1-meter diving.
Freshman Basketball
- An Apology
by Dave Fink
At this time (admittedly late), recognition should indeed be given
to this year’s freshman basketball team. Coach Sauers has stated that
it was the best in his fifteen years at State - few can disagree.
It would be impossible to single out any one player in evaluating
the squad - in fact, it would be wrong to do so. This could be easily
seen by the fact that on the average, nine or ten men would play in
every ball game with one man seldom dominating the scoring.
Starters over the course of the campaign, Werner ‘Kolin, Bob
Curtiss, Bob Obermayer, Dave Welchons, Steve Howard and Chris
Burke, indeed, deserve much of the credit, but at the same time, little
if any of the squad’s effectiveness was lost when the likes of Tom
Lawrence, Tim Minnehan and Bob Moore entered the game.
Looking for the good shot, hitting the open man, quickness and
fine defense characterized their play and while it was the players whc
affected all these aspects, much praise is due Coach Bob Lewis who
molded these athletes into the team they were.
Dr. Sauers expects no fewer than five players to graduate to the
varsity next year. This alone is proof enough of the fine team we had
this year, but which got so little coverage through no fault but my

Athletic Scholarships
Edward E. Potter Club, a cam-
pus fraternity at State University
at Albany, has established a
scholarship fund providing $400 a
year for each of two scholar-
athletes for at least two years. The
freternity has stipulated the award
go to basketball players, unless
that sport has no qualified pros-
pects in a given year. The scholar-
ship will be administered by the
University’s financial aids office.
Recipients must meet all uni-
versity academic requirements.
State University of New York
doesn’t permit state money to be
used for athletic scholarships, but
student or alumni groups may
allocate funds for such purposes.
Varsity basketball coach Dick
Sauers was understandably
pleased with the scholarship.
“This definitely is a step in the
right direction,” he said. “I'd like
to see other fraternities establish
similar awards. With such help, we
could begin to attract some of the
top players we now are losing for
lack of financial assistance. In
basketball, a few such players a
year could make a world of dif-
ference.”
Athletic director Dr. Alfred
Werner welcomed the scholarship
as “an opportunity to improve the
development of our intercollegiate
sports program at Albany.”
Although athletes are eligible
for financial aid based on need,
this is only the second scholarship
at the university specifically estab-
lished for athletes. The James A.
Warden Memorial Scholarship is
given annually, but not necessarily
to a varsity performer? it could be
awarded to an intramural athlete.
This year’s Warden Scholarship
was shared by senior basketball
and baseball star Jim Sandy and
junior soccer and golf standout
Joel Volinski.

To the Editors:
There is an issue in the air
which has not really as such been
brought into the forefront as
yet...It is the tenure issue—Pro-
fessors Wagner, Tucker, and Cad-
bury will not be returning to the
University in the fall because of
failure to gain tenure—tenure,
however, is based on degrees and
amount of published material ra-
ther than on the most important
criterion of all, teaching ability—
This is wrong. Once granted ten-
ure, a teacher has a job for life
whether he can teach or not,
whether he develops with the
times or not—This is also wrong.
WSUA feels that the current
tenure system should be abolished
in favor of a system of 3-year
renewable contracts. In this way,
the service of all professors would
be evaluated periodically. Albany
State should not become a haven
for teachers who can’t teach—We
urge all students and faculty mem-
bers to push for this reform.
Sincerely,
Keith Mann
Station Manager

To the Editors:
During the past few weeks, the
procedure of hiring and firing has
been shown for its stupidity. The
priorities seem to be vague and
somewhat meaningless. I feel a
well defined point system should
be initiated. I have drawn up a
model which could be revised. I
present it to you for your ideas of
refinement.
The plan is based on a scale of
18 points and has four standards
of evaluation. The first area is
research, The research will be
evaluated by a panel of 50% facul-
ty and 50% junior and senior
majors in that department. This
will be worth 2 points.
The second criterion is publish-
ing. Again, this will be evaluated
by a panel of 50% faculty from
the department and 50% student
majors in the department. This
would also be worth 2 points.
The third standard is contribu-
tion to the community. Admitted-
ly this is the vaguest point. An
instructor can, however, make
contributions. His research and-or
publishing could tie into this. His
availability outside of the class-
room could also be a part of his
contribution. This would be de-
cided ‘by the same panels as des-
cribed above.
The final criterion is teaching.
This would be broken down into
two areas: ability to communi-
cate, and motivation. An evalua-
tion of the instructor by the
students who have him will be the
deciding factor. The evaluation
will be taken near the end of
every semester. The results will be
evaluated and made public. Four
points will be given to the opin-
ions of majors and minors; 2
points for each area. Two points
will be given to the opinions of
the other students who are taking
the professor; one point will go to
each area.
Together these add up to 13
points:
2 research
2 publishing
3 community contributions
6 teaching majors and minors
others
There will be only one time
when a Ph.D. will be required, and
that is in the instruction of grad-
uate students.

At 2:30 a.m. two upper eche-
lon administrators popped their
heads out their office doors to
discuss the “issues” with us twelve
outside agitators. They were al-
lowing us to occupy the building
all night or at least until we fell
asleep. One of these prominent
administrators was dominant, and
he was the person who talked at
us for a couple of hours. He was
polite, evasive, and perhaps the
most pervertedly impersonal man
I've ever spoken towards. It is his
total lack of speaking about any-
thing that relates to anyone per-
sonally that prohibits me from
giving him credit, by name, for
these out of context quotes. We
feel they do him justice:

Weekend Revolution
Continued from page 1
before support from the Univer-
sity community could be counted
upon. Smith said that the only
reason that he attempted to chair
the meeting was to help “lead the
group out of their morass.”
The demands themselves were
referred to as merely a “working
list,” and that it was the “intent”
of each demand that had to be
considered and reckoned with.
Obviously aware of and fearing
the possible negative reaction to
the group, the steering committee
groped for a title. Strike com-
mittee was a suggestion; Central
Coordinating Committee was
another. Using the two titles in
conjunction was also suggested.
The group broke into com-
mittees. A “Rumor Committee”
was formed in an attempt to
facilitate communications
between the University com-
munity and the group. Others
“grouped in an effort to dis-
seminate the list of 21 demands to
the students, and another formed
a phone committee which was
responsible for contacting the
faculty to inform them about the
Sunday night meeting that the
committee had decided to hold.
Sunday
Sunday night approximately
150 faculty members attended the
semi- closed meeting with the now
newly titled Ad Hoc Committee.
Paul Mann chaired the meeting
and opened by explaining the
procedure that would be used to
inform the faculty. He introduced
the ad hoc committee of 12
students, explained how the com-
mittee had “arisen spon-
taneously” in an effort to deal
with the problems at hand; he also
filled the faculty in on the events
of the weekend.
He read the list of 21 demands
and prefaced each with a brief
rationale.
After the initial information
was given, the students of the
committee were to move out
among the faculty to facilitate
dialogue. Dissension on this action
was voiced by two faculty mem-
bers, but the small groups were
formed.
It was difficult to tell, but it
seemed that most of the faculty
present were in sympathy with a

This symbolic action has also been
backed by the Capital Area Peace

men Concerned About Viet Nam.
A rally has been scheduled for
Wednesday in support of the sit-
in. It will be held at 7:30, March

student strike. Most of the faculty
seemed to find points among the
21 demands that they disagreed
with. A suggestion was made that
the faculty join the student
meeting that was already in-pro=
gress, and this suggestion was
agreed upon. i
Mass Meeting
Over 500 students were at the
meeting in L.C. 7. Factionalism
was evident among those students
and faculty who spoke from the
podium and the audience. The
authority of the Ad Hoc Com-
mittee was challenged. Paul Mann
was attacked at intervals for at-
tempting to chair the meeting.
One student asked that “every-
thing be started over since so
many factions were present.” This
request met with a tired, negative
response. Another student said
“it’s true we need action, but let’s
decide what we’re taking action
on.”
Dr. Johnpoll from the Political
Science Department spoke. He
felt that “students and faculty
should run the school, and no-
body else. The administration
should do its job, which is to
clean out the men’s and ladies’
rooms.” He said that “the school
should be run for education, not
for the greater glory of the ad-
ministration. When the budget is
cut, it is the professors that leave,
not, the administrators - adminis-
trators are falling over one anoth-
er.” His speech met with a re-
sounding positive response.
Another faculty member, Dr.
Eckstein, was against the 50-50
proposal. In stating his reasons
why he said, ‘There is a lot more
work involved in these commit-
tees than the students realize, and
there are some areas that students
are not qualified to participate
in.” He gave as an example for the
latter reason, “students can judge
faculty members already present
in the University, but they are not
qualified to judge new instructors
applying for positions.”
Several students and faculty mem-
bers reminded the audience that
many of the committees that the
students wanted were already in
existence.They stated that the
problem was not one of making
provisions for student _parti-
cipation, but one of finding stu-
dents willing to participate.
Faculty Opinion
Jeff Smith wanted action. He
called for a week’s stoppage of
classes. During this week the stu-
dents would be informed about
the reasons why they shouldn't go
to classes. He said that a strike
was more than a boycott - it
required more tahn a refusal by
some students to go to classes. It
required pickets and other means
to make all students realize why
they shouldn’t be in classes.
At this point, A student said,
“coercion should not be used to
prevent those students who want
to go to classes from going.” Dr.
Finder, from the Education De-
partment said, “there is no such
thing as a University run by strike,
threat and violence.”
Another faculty member,
Friedman, said, “the adminis-

tration doesn’t feel anything is
wrong. Most students don’t realize
that they’re being screwed day
after day after day. Students are
needed on all committees. The
students must be spoken to first,
Let them feel it in their gut that
something is wrong.” Another fac-
ulty member retorted, “close it
(the University) and then think.”
Fred Cohen, Gerry Wagner's
legal advisor and an associate pro-
fessor in the School of Criminal
Justice. spoke to the group. He
appealed to the students fo focus
on one issue, and impressed upon
them the idea that the adminis-
tration had been lying contin-
uously.
Dr. Eson from the Psychology
Department spoke to the students
and said, “If you want to change
the University, close it by with-
drawing from it.” A student yel-
led, “You're a phoney liberal.”
Eson retorted, “I’m not a liberal
at all.”
Lieberman from the Sociology
Department, who had helped to
rephrase the 21 demands, said,
“You already have your commit-
tees. In the Sociology Department
nobody wanted to work.” He also
raised the question of “Who will
be on what committee? How will
they get there?”
Demand Debate
Throughout the discussions and
after the bulk of them, several.
motions were made and voted on.
What seemed to be the issue at
stake was whether to use the 21
demands or the demands from
Central Council or both. Dave
Neufeld wanted to return to the
Council demands. He gave the
demands as a 50-50 ratio of facul-
ty to students on the Student
Conduct Committee, and on Fac-
ulty Senate and its councils, and
on the departmental committees
concerned with the hiring, firing
and tenure of faculty members. It
was also stipulated that on the
latter committee there be no veto
power over the departmental de-
cisions.
Opinions vacillated between
what demands should be used.
Rich Ariza, addressing himself to
the 21 demands, seemed opposed
to them and stated “It is a ques-
tion of what you do once you

Moratorium
The final decision of the slowly

that the future demands and
priorities should be decided upon

Prosecution
The question of amnesty is a
serious issue in light of the events
which occurred Friday evening.
The concern voiced by several
students might be considered in
view of the following statement
issued by the University
__The University reaffirms its pol-
icies and regulations as stated in
Student guidelines 1969-70 in par-
ticular paragraph 1.2.4. on page
18, ‘The university, of course,
complies with all federal, state
and local statutes,’ and No. 4

Page 21, prohibiting ‘Unauthoriz-

facilities or property, or removal
or destruction of such property.’
The university security office is
continuing its investigation con-
cerning the events of Friday
evening, March 13. If sufficient
evidence is gathered leading to
identification of persons guilty of
breaking the law, appropriate legal
action will be taken.
