GEORGE WALLACE STOOD in front of the State Capitol and
delivered an address in his home style lingo. Excerpts of his speech was

carried by national television.

Socialist Candidate
Speaks to Students

“The university should be a
plaza for revolutionary activity,”
said Peter Buch, Socialist Workers’
Party candidate for Congree from
New York’s 19th district,
speaking here Monday.

Mr. Buch feels that the
American two-party system offers
no real alternative to those who
are dissatisfied. “The blow of a
police club” in Chicago, he said,
was “an echo of the vote you or
your parents cast in 1964 due to
the ‘lesser evil’ policy.”

According’to Mr, Buch, U.S.
involvement \in the war in
Vietnam represents not the will of
the people, but part of a
bipartisan program to protect
capitalist investment.

The cold war is not the fault of
Russia or China, Mr. Buch said,
when U.S. bases encircle these
nations.

“Racist institutions resist
change,” Mr. Buch said. He cited
the resistance to the Ocean
Hill-Brownsville school board’s

demand for more local control o1
schools,

Mr. Buch sees the struggle for
black liberation as a focal point
for America. He feels “The Black
Panthers, far from being nihilists,
bring real thoughtfulness to bear”
on the question of America’s
direction.

Hope is also seen is Latin
America, but he cautions radicals
against believing they can make
change alone.

The anti-war movement which
once held GIs in contempt now
finds support among them, he
reminded his audience. He ‘aid,
“Young people and black people
must look to other segments of
the population for support.”
Working people are not satisfied
with wage gains which lead only
to tax increases, according to Mr,
Buch.

He believes that working people
will join students, as they did in
France, where a rebellion led to
“the largest general strike in

Wallace Speaks On Capitol Steps,
O’Dwyer Replies At Counter Rally

by Daryl Wager

A sizeable group was
assembling across the street from
the Capitol well in advance of the
scheduled appearance of former
Alabama Governor George C.
Wallace at three o'clock
Wednesday afternoon.

A good deal of activity was
generated by the Brothers, a black
organization which planned to
show Wallace that they did not
appreciate his personal appearance
on the steps of the Capitol
building by displaying posters and
singing freedom songs.

Spokesmen for the group, who
wore black berets and medallions,
announced that their program
would include readings of the
Declaration of Independence, Dr.
Martin Luther King dr.’s “I Have a
Dream” speech, and John F.
Kennedy's message to Congress on
civil rights.

The Brothers were joined by
individuals who described
themselves as “independents.”
Both groups pledged that heckling

history.”

Radicals must above all be wary
of absorption, of selling out, of
compromising in order to win
moderate concessions, said Mr.
Buch.

He believes “the next stage for
humanity” is “the revolutionary
transformation from capitalism to
socialism.”

would have no place in their
efforts to inform the Wallace
group of their oppositon to the
third party candidate.

Meanwhile, a crowd began
forming in front of the Capitol
itself. Sepctators waiting behind
Police lines were barraged with
posters declaring, “Equality Not
Bigotry,” “Wallace: A Most
Discriminating Candidate,” ‘Like
Hitler? You'll Love Wallace!” and
“Support Wallace and Get
Whitewashed.”

Descending the Capitol st s
and smiling broadly. the governor
was met by wildly waving banners
and posters and the chanting of
“Down with Wallace!” He
managed to make light of the
opposition evident in the
audience, opening his remarks
with the introduction of several
state and local Alabaman officials.

As Wallace began his speech
and became aware of the
appreciable number in attendance
who were adamant in their refusal
to accept his ideas, the former
Alabama governor’s voice grew in
urgency and in volume, stopping
periodically when the poor
acoustics proved inadequate for
combatting the chanting of the
throng.

Wallace attacked the young
people in the audience, who were
almost all college students, for
“giving aid and comfort” to the

Homecoming Queen

ToBeChosen ByJ udges

Ellis Kaufman, chairman of the
Homecoming Queen Committee,
Committee, announced that this
year both the Homecoming Queen
and the Freshman Princess were
picked not only for beauty, but
also for personality and poise.

They were chosen by eight
members of the school
administration and a student
representative from each class.

There were twenty-nine
upperclassmen and nine freshmen
in the contest which lasted over
two evenings, October 9 and 10.

The first evening, all of the
contestants modeled a Sunday
outfit and spoke a little about
themselves, The girls were rated
on a basis of one to ten, ten being
the highest, on their beauty and
poise which were separate
categories At the end of the
evening, eight semi-finalists
were announced for Homecoming
Queen, but no contestants for
Freshman Princess were
eliminated.

Thursday night, the remaining
girls modeled the same outfits and
this time were required to
describe them.

Following this, only the eight
semi-finalists changed into casual
outfits which they modeled and
described where they would wear
them,

The seventeen girls were then
asked two questions, one of a
humorous nature and one of a
more serious nature(which had
been taken from forms the girls
had filled out earlier in the week).

That night, the name of the
Freshman Princess was
announced. The names of the
Homecoming Queen and her court
will be announced tonight after
the concert.

Communists by organizing food
and clothing drives for Vietnam.

The presidential candidate
stressed his contempt for the
presidential preference _ polls,
explaining that the current
predicted drop in his popularity is
due a conspiracy of “eastern
establishment moneyed interests”
wheih seek to control election
results through false poll figures.

Wallace would place existing
polling outfits under federal
investigation.

Prefacing his discussion of the
Vietnam situation, Wallace used
the phrase, MMWhen I become
the President...’’ which
precipitated a new round of
opposition chants.

Addressing his adversaries,
Wallace promised to send “thirty-
thousand troops, each with a
bayonet’” to protect Washington
from the anarchists. He accused
the Con gress of passing a bill that
would permit Communists to
work in our defense plants.

Wallace explained that the
reason for our present situation in
Vietnam was our failure to look
to our Western European allies for
munitions and manpower.
Wallace’s Vietnam policy would
be a military solution to the war if
the Paris talks fail to produce a
political solution by January.

He cited education as the main
cause for the rise in federal taxes
and added that should he be
elected in November, he would
see that the New York schools
and the Alabama schools were run
independent of one another and
not by the federal government.

Closing his remarks, Wallace
declared, ‘There are more of us
than there are of you and on
November fifth we're going to
find. that out.” Waving and
throwing kisses to his listeners,
Wallace turned and left the
posiu: Con't top. 5

Pacifists Found Guilty

On Draft

BALTIMORE (UPI)—A feder-
al court jury found nine Roman

Catholic pacifisis, who were
accused of destroying draft
records, guilty on all three

counts late Thursday after only
one hour and 25 minutes of
deliberation.

The defendants, on hearing
the verdict, began to sing, “We
shall overcome,” the civil rights
anthem, One man among the
spectators shouted, “Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury, you have
just found Jesus Christ guilty.”

The two women and seven
men, including two priests,
could each be sentenced to a
maximum of 18 years in jail
and fined up to $22,000 each on
the convictions of disrupting the
operations of a draft board,
destroying federal property and

ST, LOUIS (UPI)—Mickey
Lolich outpitched World Series
master Bob Gibson and the
Detroit Tigers broke through for
three runs in the seventh inning
Thursday to beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 4-1 and win their first
world baseball championship in
23 years.

Lolich, the rugged individua-
list who drives a motorcycle to
the Tigers’ home games,
matched shutout pitching with
Gibson, winner of seven World
Series games including two in
this classic, until the seventh
when the Tigers got one of the
big breaks of the Series.

The break came with two out
and Norm Cash and Willie
Horton on base as a result of
singles. Jim Northrup walloped
a long drive to center field
which appeared catchable. But
Curt Flood, one of the best
centerfielders in the majors,
stumbled as he turned to run
for the ball and it sailed over
his head for a two-run triple.

Bill Freehan followed with a
double to left field scoring
Northrup and giving Lolich and
the Tigers a 3-0 lead over
Gibson, who had pitched one hit

Lowenstein Supporters
Canvass Republicans

A meeting of Students for
Lowenstein. was held Monday
night.

Plans were made to canvass the
Fifth Congressional District to
convince a largely Republican
neighborhood to cross party lines

and vote for Allard K.
Lowenstein
Lowenstein is credited with

convincing Eugene McCarthy to
run for President, is a member of
the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference, was one of the first
to visit Vietnam, and is the
originator of ‘the ‘*Dump
Johnson” movement.

The meeting was led by Gary
Weiner and Pat Meglin, who read
quotes from the Village Voice
describing both Lowenstein and
his opponent Mason Hampton,

Hampton is a conservative who
advocates blocking integration
and considers marijuana as a
major threat to society and would
like to see pushers punished by
death.

The students met to discuss
plans to go from door to door on
the weekends preceding Election
Day to talk to voters and “make
them understand the issues, make

people care.
Lowenstein, who won the
prima: largely because of

students canvassing for him, “will
have rough going mainly because
of voter apathy.”

As one student at the meeting
said, “So many people have no
i is going on. They know _
lablels

ea
only party

In speaking of the candidate,
Weiner quoted the Village Voice
as saying “If he wins it will be due
to the canvassing of the kids.”
Weiner has met and worked with
Lowensteing personally and said
of him, “He’s dynamic, a hard
fighter and works for what he
believes.

‘“‘They (Johnson
Administration) don’t want him
in, He would effect a change-he
would have to.”

Over 200 students from other
schools are expected to canvass
for Lowenstein but Gary says,
“We need all the help we can get.”
If you are from Long Island or are
interested in working for
Lowenstein call Gary Weiner at
8700.

Mage referred us to the Peace
and Freedom Party (PFP)
Platform that said, “The Peace
and Freedom Party was formed to
unify the movements which are
seeking radical change in America,
and to create for these movements
a focus and political expression.”

‘The Peace and Freedom Part is
a coalition between the Black
Panther Party and the PFP. The
coalition was established officially
seven months ago at the Peace and
Freedom Founding Convention in

Lolich Pitches Win

ball through the first six
innings.
That’s all Lolich, working

with just two days rest, needed
to enable the Tigers to become
the third team in Series history
to win a seven-game series
after trailing 3-1. He is the
eighth pitcher to win three
games in one series,

The Tigers, a come-from-
behind team all season as they
won 40 games after being tied
or behind in the seventh inning,
were held to one hit by Gibson
over the first six innings,

But the Tigers erupted for
seven hits in the final three
innings ro snap Gibson’s seven-
game winning streak in Series
competition.

It was enough to beat Gibson
although Freehan then doubled
in Northrup with an insurance
run and singles by Horton,
Northrup and Don Wert pro-
duced another run in the eighth.

A traditional lateseason
standout who likes to pitch in

cool weather, Lolich was
brilliant as he held the Cards to
just five hits on the mild

afternoon in the mid-60s while
the crowd of 54,692 at Busch
Memorial Stadium pleaded in
vain for the Cardinals to solve
his deliveries. But the only
player to do so was Mike
Shannon, who hit a solo homer
with two out in the ninth, after
the Tigers already had won the
game.

Lolich also stopped the Cards’
running game. In the sixth
inning he gave up singles to
speedsters Lou Brock, who tied
a Series record with 13 hits, and
Curt Flood. But then he
proceeded to pick both of them
off base.

It was a heartbreaking loss
for Gibson, whose 7-2 record in
World Series play is still one of
the best—leaving him tied with
Yankee aces Red Ruffing and
Allie Reynolds. Whitey Ford
was 10-8 and Lefty Gomez was
6-0. Gibson still pitched a record
eight straight complete game in
defeat.

Card shortstop Dal Maxvill
set a record for frustration as
he went O-for-2 before being
lifted for a pinch-hitter leaving
him 0-for-22 in the Series.

Peace and Freedom Party

Candidate Speaks Here

California.

The Parties remain distinct and
separate, and geared to their own
needs, though they are united
under the Peace and Freedom
banner, and have been working
together for close to a year.

Mage enumerated the policies
and goals of the white half of the
coalition, and Lt. Aponte those of
the black community.

The two groups are protective
of their individuality, but realize
common goals.

The PEP coalition hglds that
the Social structure of the U.S.A.
is responsible for the fears and the
existing and developing conditions
that are intolerable to many
Americans.

The PFP is just as convinced
that the powerful development of
this country can be turned to
allieveate these problems.

Mage said, “‘With all the wealth
in this country, it is obcene to

have the poverty and oppression
that we have in this country.”

She pointed to the welfare
system and social planning for
minority groups, and said that
they put money into white
pockets while they “guaranteed
Poverty” to black people and
“institutionalized inequality.”

The PFP Platform holds that
the American “colonialist”” policy
has resulted “support of
reactionary regimes throughout
the world and in
counter-insurgency against
oppressed people seeking
self-determination,””
is pursuing a campaign that hopes
to “change people heads a little
bit.” It supports meaningful
education that will prepare and
involve people in the realities of
instability and change that are
happening around them.

Lt. Aponte emphasized that the
Black Panther Party ‘is a real
political party.

He said that they are organized
for the ‘‘well being and
preservation of black people” and
that they are not looking for
trouble in white communities.

The PFP endorses the “Ten
Point Program” of the BPP. They
demand community control of
schools, welfare, housing, and
police, and an immediate end to
police harassment and brutality of
blacks.

Eldridge Cleaver defined Black
Americans as a colonized people,
and regards America as a “mother
country” in her domestic as well
as foreign policy.

To the Panthers, the police in
black communities are an
“occupying force.” Lt. Aponte
told his listeners that the BPP
emphasizes discipline among its’
members. They are organizing to
regain control of their
communities, their identities, and
their lives.

After recounting some
examples of police harassment of
the Panthers, Aponte said, “If we
dare to stand up and be bjack
men, they are there to oppress

Julian Bond
Cancels Speech
In Protest

KNOXVILLE, TENN.
(CPS)-Georgia legislator Julian
Bond, scheduled to address
University of Tennessee students
October 2, refused to appear in
Knoxville because students there
had been forbidden to invite Dick
Gregory to the campus a week
earlier.

“If the chancellor of the
university thinks the students are
too simple-minded to hear
Gregory, they are obviously too
simple-minded to hear me,” Bond
said when he discovered he had
been invited in Grogory’s place. “I
certainly don’t want to poison
student minds.”

Chancellor Charles H. Weaver
had denied a student speakers’
Program permission to invite
Gregory, saying he had “nothing
to say to the University
community’’ and that his
appearance would be “an outrage
and an insult to many citizens of
this state.”

About Bond’s cancellation,
Weaver only said, “I am sorry that
he is not coming.”

“Tt’s not a matter of Gregory
himself,” Bond said. “It’s a matter
of students’ being allowed to
make their own decisions. I
wouldn’t care if it were Harry
Truman or George Wallace being
denied permission. The issue
would be the same~freedom of
choice.”

Master Plan Announced

By Gould For 1968

Chancellor Gould last week
anriouncéd the 1968 Revision of
the Master Plan, built upon a
series of 46 recommendations to
guid State University’s further
growth during the next seven
years.

The Chancellor noted the
Revision coincided with the
University’s 20th anniversary and

described the document as a
“combined effort of faculty,
students and staff, designed to
maintain and expand upon the
great strides in physical growth
and academic achievement which
thave come about during the first
two decades of our existence.”
Chancellor Gould noted that
the first emphasis in the revision is

Button Confronts Herzog
Before 125 Area Clergy

Congressman Danial E. Button
urged Wednesday that we “stop
the bombing of North Vietnam
and rebuild urban America’, in
the first of a monthly series of
breakfast forums for area clergy in
the Patroon Room of the Campus
Center.

Guest speakers were
Re]ublican Congressman Button
and his Democratic opponent,
Jacob Herzog, a prominent
Albany Attorney.

Vietnam was clearly the most
important issue discussed, with an
overwhelming majority of the area
clergy against the Vietnam war.

Button charged that it is
unnecessary to “slaughter the
youty”, and hopes that the
tragedy of the Johnson
administration in Vietnam will be
ended with the election of a new
President.

His opponent, Dem. Jacob
Herzog is closer to Nixon than
Button on the war. Herzog
supports President Johnson on the
war and doesn’t believe we should
stop the bimbing of the North. He
indicated a complete lack of faith
in Ho Chi Minh to neogiate, and
wouldn’t risk the life of “one
single fighting man” by stopping
the bombing.

Herzog feels dissent on the war
is healthy . . .“‘everyone is entitled
to their own thoughts and
beliefs.” He supports the
conviction of Dr. Spock because
he violated the law and “those
who violate the law should be
prosecuted.”

He doesn’t believe in the
conscious objector status because
“it is unpatriotic”,

The candidates after their
speeches to the clergy were asked
their views on the darft and
lowering of the voting age. Both
candidates feel the present draft

situation is unfair. ;
Button said that he would like

to see Congress explore other
ways to do it, possibly a volunter
army. Herzog told me he favors a
lottery and the option of serving
in nonmilitary areas.
On the question of lowering tt

voting age to 18, Button strong ,
advocated it,'and went onto say

that “we should let the younger
generation know that the older
generation is willing to transfer
their responsibilities.”“I will give
it careful consideration,” Herzog
said, adding that he favored
lowering it, but not to 18.

According to A.D.A.’s rating,
Button is the second most liberal
Congressman in the House.

Button noted briefly that
Wallace was to speak later that
afternoon in Albany and urged
the clergy to hear him speak, even
if they disagreed with his views.

Congressman Button supports
Richard Nixon for the Presidency
“as a man who has shown a

capacity for growth in his public

career. Only his election can lead
to a turnover the State
Department. . . he will make a
fine President.”

Jacob Herzog, prominent
Albany attorney, supported by
the Democratic and Conservative
parties, spoke next.

It is alleged that he is part of
the O'Connell machine, When a
priest bluntly asked him if he will
buck the machine if elected, he
replied’ “What machine?”.

“Law and Order” was a
dominant theme of his speech, in
which he urged that Congress set.
up a National Police Academt to
professionally train local police
forces on a national level (not a
national police force) and
increases pay for police en with
federal funds if necessary (local
real estate taxes are too high).

Herzog, after his speech, lashed
out at Button‘s record and called
him “irresponsible”. “What is his
record? . . .Well I'll tell you. . . he
is absent 30% of the time... and
last October 16-November 7 of 41
roll calls, he voted on only 12...
Was he attending to the needs of
his constituents? - No.”

Button lashed back: “I have
never been in Albany when my
vote in Washington would be
important.” He claimed to have
made 86% of the roll calls this
session.

Herzog endorsed Hubert
Humphrey for the Presidency
because he believes in the

principles of the Democratic Party

and the Democratic platform.
Herzog indicated that he has no

plans to influence local politics if
elected . . . “my job is not to
govern Albany.”

In summing up _ his
qualifications, Herzog said that he
realized that he doesn’t have all
the answers to the problems but
he does have new, specific ideas.

The forum was co-sponsored by

the Ecumenial Council for the
Continuing Education of the
clergy and the College of General
Studies at Albany State, About
125 clergy of all faiths attended

growth to extend the goals of
unity, identity and excellence set
forth in the Master Plan of 1964.
The prioritiesof growth specify
the nature, quality and scope of
work remaining to be completed
on missions already formulated.

The second emphasis of the
revision is placed upon the
priorities of change that have
taken form from swiftly changing
human values and behavior as well
as alterations in man’s physical
enviornment.

Some priorities of change, such
as the rising aspirations of our
disadvantaged population or the
impacts of science and technology
upon society, are already clear,
according to the Chancellor.

Chancellor Gould pointed out
that priorities of change guarantee

continuous renewal of the
University. They assure new
relationships between the

institution and the society it

serves; they encourage
adaptiveness in teaching and
research; they combine

scholarship with social concern to
the end that students may easily
see their furture role of leadership
and responsibility.

Policy statements will be dealt
with in a later issue of the ASP.

Dining

be charged to the student.”

“If a student loses his meal
card, the Housing Office
recommends that he should first
check the dining hall and make a
thorough search of all his
clothing, To date, fifteen meal
cards reported lost have been
found, If he does not find the
meal card, the student may
purchase a new one at weekly
rates.

If the card is subsequently
found, the Housing Office will

refund the money for the
remaining meals.

“Because the meal card is
necessary for the student’s

freedom of eating in anyone of
the contract dining halls,” said
Seyfarth, ‘meal cards must be
treated as money.

Upon presentation of an
approved schedule card, the
Housing Office will issue a meal
pass to the Campus Center or
Brubacher Snack Bar.

A procedure has been set up for
students who cannot go back to
the contract lunch rooms for
lunch.

‘The meal pass is worth 80 cents
for lunch and $1.25 for dinner.
When the student presents a meal
pass he must also present his meal
card.

Commuting students may make
arrangements for either of the
meal plans available to resident
students through the Housing
Office.

Please direct all questions to
the campus Housing Office.

Europeans

Fear Wallace

LONDON (UPI)—The assas-
sination of Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy dulled much of Eu-
rope’s interest in the U.S
presidential campaign, but as
election day approaches some
interest is being revived,
largely out of apprehension.

Most Europeans find little
difference between Democratic
candidate Hubert H. Humphrey
and GOP standard-bearer Rich-
ard M. Nixon, but have definite
opinions on the candidacy of
former Gov. George Wallace of
Alabama and his American
Independent Party. :

From Rome to Stockholm ani
Moscow to London, newspapers
and private citizens _ alike
express mostly fear at Walla-
ce’s campaign.

When Wallace announced that
Gen. Curtis LeMay would be his
vice presidential running mate,
European newspapers voiced
dismay.

SDS Forms
Draft Council

A student draft counseling
service is one major project of the
‘recently formed Anti-draft
Committee of the Students for a
Democratic Society, according to
Richard Evans, a junior at the
University and chairman of the
committee, at a meeting on
October 7.

Evans stated that ‘The purpose
of the committee is to acquaint
the students with their rights
the present Selec tive
Service Act, and to inform them
how to use the law to remain out
of the draft.” Another aim of the
group is to gain increased
community support against the
draft.

The committee plans to train
University students as draft
counselors who will work in
conjunction with the existing
faculty draft counseling service
which is headed by John Riley of
the English Dept.

The on-campus ‘ counseling
service will be expanded to
include open forums with guest
speakers who will present farious
aspects of the draft. Ramifications
of the latter will assume the form
of individual dorm lectures similar
to the one already presented by
Dr. Riley at Colonial Quad.

A movie, concerned with tl
Boston Draft Resistance Group
was viewed by the committee at
the meeting. Information
pertaining to the draft, such as
material on Canadian immigration
laws, and draft deferments, was
being made available by the
committee.

Apollo Astronauts

Orbit for Eleven Days

By CHARLES E. TAYLOR

CAPE KENNEDY. (UPI)—
The countdown for Apollo 7, the
three-man, li-day test of
America’s moonship, entered its
critical last hours “like a
charm” Thursday with weather
remaining the only question
mark for Friday’s launch.

Dr. Wehrner Von Vraun, head
of Saturn rocket development,
said astronauts Walter Schirra,
Donn Eisele and Walter Cun-
ningham were “in a_ highly
confident frame of mind, eager
to go.”

The astronauts took a last
opportunity to hone their skills
Thursday by spending about an
hour in a simulated spacecraft
and then rested the remainder
of the day. They were expected
to go to bed about 10 p.m.

They were to be awakened at
6 a.m. Friday to prepare for the
flight.

“Tt have never attended a
preparation for a space vehicle
that has gone as smoothly as
has this Apollo 7,” said Von
Braun.

The nation’s first manned
venture into space in nearly two
years was scheduled to roar
aloft atop a 22-story Saturn 1B
rocket at 11 a.m. EDT.

Weather A Factor

pected to be good for the

snag for the start of the 4-
million mile earth orbital test
for later flights to the moon,

“The weather is a little bit of
a qiestopm mark,” said Von
Braun. Heavy rain was falling
on the spaceport as he spoke to
newsmen.

“The predictions are good at
the moment but there will be
some shower activity in the
morning. Should the shower
situation indicate that winds
prior to launch may increase
beyond the magic 18 knots (21
miles per hour) figure, it may
be necessary for the crew to
leave the spacecraft.”

Officials said unmanning the
cehicle after the astronauts
were settled into it for flight
would mean a delay of at least
48 hours in the shot.

It will be the last spaceflight
for Schirra, the 45-year-old
veteran of Mercury and Gemini
shots, and the first for Eisele,
38, and Cunningham, 36.

Must Prove Safety

The object of the ambitious
Apollo inaugural is to prove that
the 16-ton moonship — the
world’s heaviest manned space-
craft—is safe for a 500,000 mile
round trip to the moon.

The launch of Apollo 7 will
come almost 20 months after
the ill-fated Apollo 1 ship was to
have started manned flight
testing.

To Vote Next Week

Voting to ratify a constitution
establishing a Graduate Student
Association will be extended
through October 18th in order to
allow all interested graduate
students to have an opportunity
to vote.

Copies of the constitution have
been distributed throughout the
campus and are available at the
Information Desk in the Campus
Center wherer the ballots may be
cast.

‘The constitution creates an
organization which will represent
the graduate students on this
campus. Along these lines, a
questionaire is being constructed
to inventory those interests and
activities of concern to graduate
students and will be distributed in
a week. One form of achieving the
goals of graduate students will be
by participating in the decision
making process of the University.

Specifically, invitation has been
extended to the Graduate

STudent Steering Committee to
nominate, in the interim, graduate
student delegates to serve as
members of several committees of
the Student Affairs Council.

Any graduate student who is
interested in serving in such a
capacity should contact Michael

LBJ Gives Up Fight

Warren Continues InSC

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Pres-
ident Johnson gave up the fight
Thursday to name a new chief
justice to succeed Earl Warren
before he leaves the White
House.

Eight days after he withdrew
his appointment of Justice Abe
Fortas for the job in the face of
a Republican-led filibuster, the

President issued a statement
saying he would not submit
another nomination to the
Senate.

He said it would be best if the
TT-year-old Warren defer his
retirement plans and remain on
the high court “until emotiona-
lism subsides, reason and
fairness prevail.”

This was an obvious reference
to the Senate’s refusal to
confirm Fortas, his old friend
and confidant, to be Warren’s
successor. The President with-
drew the nomination at Fortas’
request, as well as that of
another friend, Federal Judge
Homer Thornberry of Texas, to
become an associate justice in
Fortas’ place.

In asking to retire, Warren
noted he would stay on as chief
justice until his successor was
confirmed. The Senate rebuff to
Fortas left both on the Supreme
Court in their usual seats whe:
the justices opened the court’s

pronounced the basis of their
attack: “Do you want Wallace to
do for America what he has done
for Alabama?” Across the
street, the Brothers rally was
being addressed by Democratic
senatorial candidate Paul
O’Dwyer.

Attacking Wallace, O’Dwyer
declared, “This is not going to be
the image of our state throughout
the United States and the woiid.”

Another group participating in
the event called themselves the
“Hippies for Wallace.” This group
explained that Wallace’s contempt
for the hippie movement

prompted them to feign support
of his policies, In this manner,
they hope to intimidate the hird
party candidate.

The turnout at the Capitol,
which was estimated at four to
five thousand person, was
impressive; the Wallace support

Johnson expressed regret that
the filibuster had prevented the
Senate from voting on his
nominees.

“In ordinary times, I would

another name to the Senate for
this high office. I shall not do so
now,” he said,

Hong Kong Flu
In New York;
No Vacine Yet

NEW YORK (UPI) — This
year’s version of the Asian flu
has arrived in New York, the
city health department said
Thursday.

The department said it had
diagnosed four cases of the
“Hong Kong flu” so called be-
cause it appears to have origi-
nated in that British crown col-
ony on the China coast. The
department said pharmecutical
houses are working on a vac-
cine for the flu but as yet none
has been developed.

Hong Kong flu, the depart-
ment said, runs its course in
about five days.

Dr. Don Conwell, assistant
health commissioner, said two
of the patients were health de-
partment employes who had
traveled abroad, one of them
to Hong Kong. Another case in-
volved a2 man who walked in
off the street and asked the de-
partment’s bureau of laborator-
ies what was’ wrong with him.

The fourth case was that of
a patient whose virus specimen
had been sent in by a hospital.

| O'Dwyer To Lure Unionmen;

Page 5

Fears Wallace’s Strength

NEW YORK (UPI}— Demo-
cratic senatorial candidate Paul
O'Dwyer announced Thursday
he will make a major effort to
lure blue collar workers away
from third party presidential
candidate George Wallace al-
though the two are not compet-
ing against each other,

The first event will be a mass
rally of union members to be
held in the garment district of
Manhattan at noon, Oct. 24, the
day Wallace has scheduled a
rally in Madison Square
Garden.

In announcing his campaign
among unionmen against Wal-
lace, O’Dwyer criticized _ his
Senate rival, Reiublican incum-
bent Jacob K. Javits, although

he stopped short of calling him
“soft on Wallace” in answering
a reporter’s question.

The candidate said Javits had
come out in opposition to the
former Alabama governor but
not in any place where it would
have any effect on Wallace’s
strength among blue collar
workers. He cited Javits’ failure
to say anything about Wallace
Wednesday when he spoke to
the iron workers.

O’Dwyer said Javits’ support
among labor cam: from union
leaders who were “not wrest-
ling with this problem” of Wal-
lace, while O’Dwyer’s support
came from the “rank and file.”

An aide of O’Dwyer said a

meeting with union leaders rep-
resenting 60 locals resulted in
the decision to hold the garment
center rally.

He said another rally of labor
men would be held next
Wednesday at Manhattan Cen-
ter at which further plans for
developing support among blue
collar workers will be made
and plans for the garment cen-
ter rally made final.

O'Dwyer said he was making
the effort to win labor votes
away from Wallace because if
the campaign polls are correct
and the election were held to-
day, Wallace would get 2 mil-
lion votes in New York State,
or 25 per cent of the total.

Barriers Down

Whether the white barriers should be taken

down or not is not the basic issue behind the

controversy concerning the gates about the
perimeter road. The principle under examination is
whether the human element on this campus is
actually being recognized by the physical plan of
the University.

Theoretically the campus was to be reserved for
people and no vehicles were to be allowed to
interfer with the pedestrian. Unfortunately, this
view is still held by some on this campus. These
people sincerely think that this system is designed
for the human element, but it is not. Too many of
the present plan’s adherents have not
acknowledged that the age of the automobile and
of general affluence has affected the University as
well as the American society.

The automobile has become an integral part of
life to the human element on this campus, as it has
to the general public. To deny its existence is to
deny the person what he feels is natural. The
physical plan, then, is demanding that the people
on this campus do the unnatural.

By prohibiting students from bringing their cars
near their living areas, the physical plan, that is
presently being adhered to, is artificially restricting
the student. We do not feel there is any theoretical
support for the barriers that were erected about
the campus.

However, there is a valid argument that if cars
were allowed, the chances of a person being hurt
by an automobile would be probable. Most all
accidents would be the result of speeding on the
fire lanes. Yet, this danger could be easily reduced
to negligible proportions if the roads that form
straight connections between two points of the
Perimeter Road could be blocked off at both ends
so through traffic could not pass. The right angle

turns on the fire lanes would aid this technique of

blocking straight thoroughfares to slow down the

autos.

If this method is not fully successful, then, the
road could be paved with built in bumps so the
vehicles would have no choice but to drive slowly.

Last year when the attempts to keep cars out of
the residence areas failed, it was threatened that
cars would have to be towed away since they were
blocking the fire lanes. The cars blocked the fire
lanes because the obvious place to park (on the
stones) was blocked off. Automobiles should be
allowed to park on the pebbles as they are south
of the Joseph Henry (Physics) and Chemistry
Buildings. Because there is room to park some 100

automobiles around each quad, and because of the
nature of student parking, there would be little
chance of double parking. The fire lanes would be
clear and emergency vehicles could get to the
buildings.

If the parking areas about the quads were
cleared every night by ticketing the parked (not
standing) cars in the early hours of the morning,
then the students would use the parking lots.

The students who would be using the parking
area about the quads then would either be using
his car again that day or picking up or leaving off
someone or something. At no time do we see over
a hundred vehicles parked about the quads (except
during the period of moving in to the dorms).

A substitute would be needed for the pebbles,
since the cars would sink into the mud during the
spring. Also, there might be a need for more
security at night, but these problems are minimal
and not serious obstacles to overcome.

We see no reason for the gates to have been
erected except for the fact that a philosophy alien
to human nature has been the policy concerning
the physical plan of the campus. Because of this
policy, the student is faced with an unnecessary
inconvenience. It is fesible and practical that the

barriers come down.

Langley Urges Student Support

Walter P, Langley, Republican
Candidate for State Senator from
the fortieth Senatorial District,
speaking at a University
conference Monday sponsored by
the Forum of Politics, stated his
belief in the necessity of student
support in the local issues.

In his forty-five minute speech,
Langley criticized his opponent,
Julian B, Erway, on his practices
and his disregard for civil duty.

One of Langley‘s major goals is
to “‘overcome fear in the
backwoods, ” by teaching the
voters to vote,

A “tremendous amount of
voter registration” has to be done,
said Langley, “but first the fear
must be eliminated.”

Fear, Langley charged, arising
from the forty-seven-year reign of
the Democrats in Albany pervades
the educational system, police and
fire departments, social groups
and even the local Bar
Association.

Langley, the candidate from
Albany and Schoharie Counties,
believes the voter is afraid to vote
Republican, thus the lack of local
GOP support.

His central issue now is “not
what kind of representation the
voters want, but do they want
representation?” Langley
pronounced the local Democratic
officials as not working for the

people,
He proposed to reduce real
property taxes by ending

unfairness in distribution of state
aid and also by making the state
pay real property taxes.

Campaigning actively for
several months, the GOP hopeful
endorses the lowering of the
twenty-one-year-old voting age.

He is presently counsel for the
Republican Minority, Albany
County Legislature and is a tax
attorney in the Albany law firm,
Langley and Kinum.

Formerly, Langley has been
instrumental in improving Albany
housing and in enforcing Multiple
Residence Laws, in working for
the outlawing of the “five-dollar
vote” or the buying of votes.

Speaking of Albany politics in
general, Langley viewed that the
city machine has somewhat
improved but there is still “much
to be cleaned up.”

When the NAACP wished for
the use of voting machines in an
attempt to instruct the people in

voting procedure, the city
obstructed the request.
Langley, running for the

second-highest local office, noted
that he needs 18,005 votes to win
against Erlay, the present State
Senator.

He supports Nixon as the GOP
Presidential candidate, but feels
that Governor Rockerfeller would
“make the best president.”

Referring to himself as a

“moderate, progressive, modern
Republican,”Langley believes the
State Senate is where he can best
help the people, by not being
caught up in the local machine,
nor by getting too far from the
voters.

Expressing need for student
volunteers, Langley urged further
student support for local
candidates, just as youth
supported Eugen McCarthy's bid
for the Presidential candidacy.

FCC Admonishes NBC

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The
Federal Communications Com-
mission accused the National
Broadeasting Co, Thursday of
misleading the public by provid-

ing guest celebrities on two
television quiz shows the
questions—and in some cases
the answers—prior to the

programs.

This was the second time in a
month that the commission had
raped the knuckles of NBC for
alleged failure to maintain its
responsibilities to the public.
This time, the admonition had
teeth in it.

The commission told NBC its
“lax procedures” in the conduct
of the network quiz show,
“Hollywood Squares” and the
“PDQ” program shown only on
five NBC-owned stations, would
be considered during its applica-
tion for renewal of the license
for KNBC-TV, Los Angeles,

"Gat Sept. 18, ‘the FOC
chastized NBC for not informing
its viewers that network news-
caster Chet Huntley had an
interest in the meat industry.
The admonition came after
Huntley broadcast radio editor-
ials against the so-called clean
umeat_bill_in Congress. _

For Quiz Show Fraud

In that decision, Commission-
er Nicholas Johnson dissented
and suggested the commission
go much farther and consider
the breah of public responsibili-
ty in connection ‘with the
pending application for KNBC’s
license renewal.

“PDQ” is produced under the
supervision of KNBC. It is also
carried on NBC’s four other
wholly-owned stations in Wash-
ington, D.C., Chicago, Cleveland
and New York City.

Gun Act Passed

By ANN WOOD

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Near-
ly five years after President
John F. Kennedy was assassin-
ated with a mail-order rifle,
Congress Thursday approved a
virtually total ban on interstate
shipment of guns and ammuni-
tion.

The compromise bill, expand-
ing an earlier restriction on
Pistols to cover rifles, shotguns
and ammunition, was given
final passage by the House and
sent to President Johnson for

his signature.

Lock Doors

To the Editor,

After a two year absence, I
again feel it necessary to write
your distinguished newspaper. I
feel that I must take exception to
your editorial of last Friday (Oct.
4) concerning “Locked Doors.”

There is one excellent reason
why the women’s dorms should
be locked at night and it is a
four-letter-word: rape. Certainly,
Mr. Cromie, non-residents wander
about the men’s dorms after hours
with no complaints. I will be the
first to agree with thath. But then,
when is the last time you
remember someone being raped in
a men’s dorm??

If the women’s dorms were
open all night, it would be an
open invitation to all rapists. It is
certainly im possible to have
security guards at all the entrances
to all the women’s dorms, despite
the wonderful security force we
have here at SUNYA.

You say “The women can lock
their suite doors and remain
secure.” True. But let’s not
inconvenience these poor girls any
more than possible. What about
the girl who prefers the quiet of a
lounge to study in late at night?
Or the girl who has a considerable
amount of typing to do and seeks
a place outside her suite where
sxhe will not disturb her sleeping
suitemates? Would any girl feel
“secure” outside her suite if she
knew there might be men
wandering about her dorm?

I thus ask you to reconsider
your position concerning the
“docked doors.”

Revolution

To the Editor of the ASP:

The United States of America
was founded on
revolution--violent revolution. The
success fo the American
Revolution has had a profound
effect on the history of human
society, holding out hope to the
oppressed of the world that they
can effectively resist their
oppressors, even against what
appear to be overwhelming odds.
The most widespread
maniféstation of this phenomenon

was the mass refusal, after World
War II, of Asian and African
nations to continue to submit to
the humiliation and exploitation
of European colonialism. The
Vietnam War of today has its
origins in this revolutionary
movement to overthrow Western
domination of the Third World.

It is a paradox of human nature
that there is no reactionary like
yesterday’s revolutionary. The
increasingly counterrevolutionary
nature of the Dulles-Rusk foreign
policy we have adopted is a
reflection of this paradox. One of
our greatest miscalculations is the
belief that the forces that have the
most of lose by re-distribution of
resources can somehow be urged
to ‘‘guide’”? revolutionary
development. Such a “guided
revolution” is no revolution at all,
but, at best, a grudging, minimal
response to conditions which call
for radical change. Proof of this is
our pathetically unsuccessful
attempt to get the Saigon
government to implement land
reform while we fight their battle
against the truly revolutionary
forces of South Vietnam. It is
significant that the government of
South Vietnam has become even
more repressive and less
responsive to the needs of its
people as it has been shored up
and strengthened by the foreign
military intervention of the
United States.

Our government has repeatedly
defended its military action in
Vietnam as necessary to guarantee
security from communism to the
developing nations fo the world.
We seem unable to understand
that the paramount need of the
people of these developing
countries may not be security
from communism.

What they need--and what we
are unable or unwilling to help
them achieve--is security from the
oppressive conditions of gross
maldistribution of wealtn which
invite internal revolution and
communist infiltration,

Secretary of State Rusk tells us
that by fulfilling our
“commitment” in Vietnam, we
have instilled confidence in the
governments of all the
non-communist nations of Asia,
Africa and Latin America, that we
will support them against any
communist-inspired “war of

national liberation’

Unfortunately, that is exactly
what we have done and, in the
process, we have destroyed any
incentive they might otherwise
have to enact badly needed social
and economic reforms.

We have, in effect, told every
tyrannical oligarchy in the world
that, faced with a popular uprising
by its desperate and
undernourished masses, it need
only scream “COMMIE!” and

The Right Way

by Robert Iseman

It’s hard to believe that only a
little more than eight years ago
our eyes were on Senators John
Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey
as they fought for the Democratic
Presidential nomination in the
West Virginia primary campaign.
Kennedy had won an indecisive
Wisconsin victory and it was West
Virginia that would make or break
his candidacy. Most of us were for
Humphrey then; the crowd that
took its cues from the “New York
Post,” and Mrs, Franklin D.
Roosevelt. We wanted Humphrey
and our “impossible dream” was
of Adlai Stevenson. John
Kennedy was for a later year, if
ever.

The Kennedy campaign was a
blitz. Kennedy money poured
into hungry West Virginia to
produce an effort with all the
glamour, excitement and style
that was the hallmark of that
family before the two murders.
The Kennedys jetted all over the
state while Hubert Humphrey
tried unsuccessfully to keep up in
his battered campaign bus.

Humphrey was trying to prove
that a poor man could be elected
President--without a plane,
without an organization and
without big money support. It
was no contest.

On Primary Night Hubert
Humphrey walked into his
headquarters to announce that he
was withdrawing from the race.
His people wept as Humphrey
sp

joke.

I think that Hubert Humphrey
learned. something from that
experience. He learned how to
play the ball game and it is hardly
his fault if all of a sudden in 1968
somebody changed the rules. For
a while the system worked for
him, He became Vice-President
and for his term’s duration he
supported his President. After all,
was that not the way
Vice-Presidents became
Presidential nominees? For once
in his life he listened to the
cynical men who run American
polities and he won. Today
Hubert Humphrey is his party’s
nominee for President.

He runs against a man who
always knew the score. Richard
Nixon has no conflict between his
youthful idealism and_ his
pragmaticism of today. Nixon
started without illusions. He
began his career with red-baiting;
he won a Senate seat by calling a
great woman a Communist
symphathizer. He grabbed
headlines by nailing Alger Hiss.
He, when exposed in 1952 as
something less than the
personification of integrity, wept
before the T.V. cameras and
begged our forgiveness

He ran for President and lost;
learning nothing in the process.
He ran for Governor ang lost;

learning only that the press was to
blame. He spent six years backing
every reactionary Republican in
the country until he could, in
August, accept his party’s
nomination with inspiring tall
about a poor Quaker boy who
lis@ned to faraway trains
‘That’s Dick Nixon.

Hubert Humphrey’s record is a
good one and we all know it He is
responsible for the 1963 nuclear
test ban treaty, for most of the
civil rights legislation of the past
twenty years, and for the peace
program, He is a great progressive;
The Peace Corps was his idea. He
is most vulnerable on the issue of
Viet Nam but he has promised to
end the bombing if he is elected.
That’s a start.

The relative merits of the Vice
Presidential candidates need not
be discussed. Agnew is a buffoon;
a bullnecked old line politician
who is not qualified to be
governor of Maryland. Nixon:s
choice of Agnew, to please Strom
Thurmond, when he could have
had Lindsay, Hatfield or Percy
shows that their is no “new
Nixon.” Four years of the
Nixon-Thurmond Administration
should be enough to make nuclear
holocaust appeal to some as an

attractive way out. Senator
Muskie is the one candidate who
can talk to the students the way
Kennedy and McCarthy did. He
shares our reservations on the war.
We can use him on the high
councils of our government.

So therefore I say, without
apology, that I will support
Hubert Humphrey. We all should.
Humphrey should not be the
scapegoat of those in our society
who oppose the present course. I
too am sorry that he did not
speak out against the war, and
against the President.

But one should not blame
Hubert Humphrey. One should
blame a system that makes it
impossible for a man to be true to
his ideals and stay in office. One
should blame a system that allows
only men with millions of dollars
to speak out without fear of the

financial consequences. One
should blame America.
I shall vote for Humphrey

because he is Humphrey; forgive
me, I don’t think that he is a
Fascist or a killer or any of the
other things that the “New Left”
so glibly calls him, And as for
you; when you shout about how
you will never vote for
Humphrey, do this one thing:
Consider the Alternative.

One of the few contemporary
issues on which members of the
left and right can find agreement
is their common dislike of the
draft. It is not necessary to list
the faults of the system.

The inherent economic and
racial discrimination found in the
draft is widely known, I think the
prevalent attitude among
Americans today is, the
peace-time draft is unsatisfactory,
but we haven’t been offered a
workable alternative.

However, in this election year a
candidate has provided us with an
option, an all volunteer army.

Two major questions are
immediately raised wher such a
plan is proposed. Will it endanger
our national security? How will
we get enough men to volunteer?

In responding to the first
query, we must examine the
nature of future conflicts. It is
highly likely that we have seen
the end of conventional world
wars. Another war on a
world-wide scale would almost
certainly be a nuclear conflict.

Future engagements such as
the war ix Vietnam, however, are
real possibilities. For this type of
limited war a _ well-trained,
specialized soldier is needed, not

With elections only one month
away, the country is in an uproar.
‘The Albany area is being plagued
by the crime that all three of the
candidates are pledged to stop;
the “war” in Viet Nam is still
grinding on; the people don’t like
it.

Quite a number of us are
qualified to vote in this election,
for many it is our first
opportunity to help select a
president for this country. Aside
from the fact that we aren’t
represented by the candidate of
our own choosing, we can be a
significant force in the coming
balloting.

George Wallace isn’t
making an effort to appeal to the
college students, or the
“over-educated.” That is good,
because he has nothing to sell to
most of us. What is a race like
this, if not a massive attempt to
sell an individual to the people At
any rate, he has a very small
following among the
people of today, and I encourage
all of you to make it even smaller
by stopping even your most
unconscious prejudicial action.s

Richard Nixon, who I once
heard touted as the man who can
snatch defeat from the jaws of

even

college |

victory, is the man I most fear in
the office of President. He has
blazed a trail of propaganda across
this country, and the way he
works spells disaster to the
present liberal movement. He
plays exquisitely on the emotions
of his audiences; rather like an
accomplished organist. He always
gets the desired result.

The first time I heard what
sounded like a policy statement
from the man, was on a record.
Perhpas some of you remember
Simon and Garfunkel’s “Seven
O'Clock News.” It is on the
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and
Thyme album.

Now we come to the man with
everything to lose and very little
to gain; Hubert H. Humphrey. He
has the worst problem, because of
his subservient position to
Johnson and Johnson’s policy
makers, He’s damned regardless of
his action,

"This is the man that I am asking
you to vote for; not as the best
man for the office (McCarthy was
better in my opinion) but as the
lesser of several evils.

If either Wallace or Nixon are
elected, I am afraid of the
unnecessary violence that they
will cause by érying to stop the
liberal movement.

HHH has in the past. and
present shown his willingness to
let the fringe groups on either side
of center work with a minimum
of interference. In other words. he
doesn’t discriminate and he has
solid liberal background.

Students

merely troops in large numbers.

The situation in Vietnam, for
example, demands a relatively
small number of highly skilled
soldiers, Thus our future need is
for a small, efficient, professional
army; precisely what a volunteer
system would produce.

The second question concerns
attracting enough men to military
life. Unfortunately, the call of
patriotism will not be sufficient;
we have to make military careers
financially enticing. This can be

accomplished without further
burden to the taxpayer.
Since our army design will

be much smaller than it presently
is the money now being used to
house, clothe, train, feed, and
even draftcould be applied to
increased salaries and benefits.

Before you get the impression

‘that the title of my column is a
misnomer, let me make on thing
crystal clear. Today, regardless of
its shortcomings, the Selective
Service System is the law. I
realize that I too am a pawn on
General Hershey's chessboard;
but I refuse to sympathize with
those who flee to Canada, burn
draft cards, and lie down in front
of troop trains.

In fact, I hardily applaud when
these people are dealt with to the
full extent of the law.

Any change in the system must
be made by democratic process.
True, minority groups and the
poor have long suffered under the
draft. We have sought a national
leader who would alter or abolish
the selective service method of
recruitment.

Finally we have found a man
who has pledged to establish a
volunteer army. And who is the
one who will make this change?

NIXON’S THE ONE!!

Unite

To Destroy Machine

Under the leadership of
Dartmouth Senior, Donald
“Chip” Elitzer, an organization
has been created in the Albany
area which cites as its main
objective “the smashing of the
Albany Democratic machine,”

Elitzer has taken a term leave
from his studies at Dartmouth to
“view Albany politics firsthand
and to have a part in its reform.”
He hopes to use the techniques
that seemed to have been so
successful for Sen. Eugene
McCarthy in his primary
campaign.

He was an active member of the
McCarthy campaign in California
and has voiced the hope that
through student work he can help
“Bust up the machine for good.”

It was announced by the
administration today that a water-
filled ditch will be’ constructed to
compliment the foxholes now
surrounding Colonial Quad. No
announcement was made
concerning the function of these
preparations.

Food Service surprised
everyone today by serving corn

without peppers, peas,
mushrooms, tomatoes, etc.
thrown in.

Students have also been

surprised to find that served meat
is now tasting better, what there is
of it, and that servings of potatoes

have increased, with a
corresponding worsening in taste.
Food Service, also, has had to
suspend its policy of basting its
food with laxitive as part of anew
program to eliminate waste.

Zenger Hall still holds the
University toilet flushing record
set last year. At that time a
second floor toilet flushed
continually for seventy-two
recorded hours.

Food Service is still serving
seconds this year. After you finish
eating it, you may return to the
serving counter and be served with
seconds of seconds,

The conflict of the year seems
to be stemming from whether or
not Central Council will find Don
Genetles newspaper, The Sheet of
the Piece.

Central Council has denounced
North Korea; YAF has denounced

denounced YAF’s denouncement;

ever said that door’s weren't
closed anyhow?

have been working with Elitzer as
he concentrates mainly on door to
door canvassing.

Students from Russell Sage,
R.P.L, Union and some from
Albany State have been

instrumental in his drive.

The group is non-partisan, and
members of all political
persuasions have been urged to
join.
According to Elitzer, the bulk
of the students working with him
are former McCarthy, McGovern,
Kennedy, and Rockefeller
supporters.

However, in its drive, the group
has endorsed only Republicans,
the most notable of those being
Arnold Proskin, candidate for
Albany County District Attorney,
and Dan Button, incumbent
Republican Congressman from the
29th Congressional District.

Elitzer was very much
impressed with the need for

reform in the area. He cited'the’

corruption in the area and called

the political situation in Albany
“a miniature fascist state.”

‘The group does mainly all of its
work on weekends, specificaiiy
Saturday mornings.

Every Saturday morning there
is a short general briefing meeting
at which the students are given an
idea of what they are to do in the
next few hours.

These meeting take place in
Lecture Room 3 at 9:30 A.M. on
the University Campus.

On the University campus,
Elitzer has been working with the
Young Republicans, who also are
working for the election of
Proskin and Button.

He has reiterated that there is a
great need for anyone who is
interested in helping “smash the
machine” to begin working now,
since less than four weeks are left
until Election Day.

All those interested are to
contact Chip Elitzer at 477-6171,
or Cathy Bertini, president of the
Young Republicans, at 457-7874.

“America Hurrah.”

JEAN-CLAUDE VAN Italie, author of the controversial play,

FILMS

by Dave Bordwell

In one steamy southern town in
summer, mix together two deaf
mutes (one of low intelligence), a
slow-to-ripen tomboy who loves
Mozart, her crippled father, a
proud Negro doctor who hates
white, his daughter who hates
him, her husband (also a cripple),
an alcoholic drifter, a knife fight,
various race tensions, a
deflowering, a slow death from

cancer, a sudden one from a
kidney ailment, a yet more
sudden one by suicide—and

you've got “The Heart Is a Lonely
Hunter,” which despite the
isolated excellence of Alan
Arkin’s performance seems to me
one of the most ill-conceived and
sloppily realized films of recent
months.

I haven’t read the Carson
McCullers novel (and now have no
desire to) but I assume there the
theme is depicted with a certain
economy. Not so in the film, It’s
much too long; nearly every scene
could make its point in about half
the time, For instance, does the
prologue establishing the mute
Singer's reason for coming to
Jefferson need to be garnished
with so much extraneous detail?

What about the subplot of the
drunken drifter, who exercises no
influence on the major action and
vanishes two-thirds of the way
through: Why need the Negro
subplot be given so much
development, to so little effect?

And who’s supposed to be the
center of consciousness? (A plot
as complicated as this needs some
indication of point of view; I
don’t ask for one single viewpoint,
only some consistency and point
to the shifts.) In the art of the
film, less is more; here the
feebly-realized sequences thrash
slowly past and begin to
accumulate a deadly rhythm that

pervades the whole movie; more
and more becomes less and less.

To the fault of wastefulness can
be added that of implausibility.
Singer happens to move into a
jeweler’s house (Singer does
jewelry work); the drunken drifter
happens to play chess (Singer

plays chess); and the same
drunken drifter happens to be
around when the knife fight
breaks out.

Small difficulties like these can
ruin a film: the feeling of
contrivance is hard to dispel. And
contrivance it is, As the movie
grinds to a close and the
calamities pile up thick and fast.

One by one the escape hatches
shut with creaking finality, until
at the end all those characters
who haven’t been maimed,
contracted cancer, or died a
horrible death wind up with
permanently crippling trauma.

Nothing wrong with a nihilistic
view of life, but “The Heart is a
Lonely Hunter” is faked nihilism,
an overt manipulation for bathetic
effect. In fact, one could call this
something of an exploitation film,
in that perhaps the assorted
deformities of the characters are

supposed to wheedle us into
accepting their implausible
sufferings.

To such as this Alan Arkin’s
performance is a saving grace. Just
to watch his eyes throughout a
scene is to see a genuine gift at
work. And there are moments in
other performances, and now and
then a good detail in the staging.

But at its center the film seems
empty. When Singer commits
suicide (where did that gun come
from, anyway?) and the girl Mick
visits his grave, where there should
be pathos is—nothing. As with so
much in this movie one is left
finally in uneasy disappointment.

New TV Network
May Hit Waves

NEW YORK (UPI) — Me-
tromedia Inc. and the Trans-
america Corp., announced joint-
ly today agreement in principle
to merge, giving rise to
speculation of establishment of
a fourth television network.

John W. Kluge, chairman of
the board and president of
Metromedia, said at a news

conference “the joint resources
of both organizations could
provide Metromedia the capabi-
lity for an alternative program
service for television stations
lacking network affiliations.”

Kluge, as well as John R.
Beckett, president and chief
executive officer of Transameri-
ca, who also was present at the
news conference, declined to
elaborate on the statement.

Both men, however, would not
deny the possibility that a
fourth network could be creat-
ed.

Kluge told the news confer-
ence, held at Metromedia
offices, the Federal Communi-

cations Commission would have
to approve the merger before it
would also have to give their
approval, he said.

The University theatre season
proceeds in rapid order with a
November 6-9 production of
Thorton Wilder’s “The Skin of
Our Teeth,” directed by Martin

Mann and performed by
University students. Man will
survive, says Wilder, by the

proverbial skin of his teeth, but
why does he always operate with
so narrow a margin?

Highlighting the season will be
the premier dramatic performance
in the University Performing Arts
Center scheduled for March
12-16, 1969. Paul Bruce Pettit,
Chairman of the Department of
Speech and Dramatic Art, will
direct the production which has
not yet been announced.
‘Auditions for the production will
be held this semester on
November 20, 21, and 23 in Page
Hall.

Art Gallery Features
Superb New Exhibits

by Paula Carmadella

The exhibit now showing at the
Art Gallery is really superb.
Featured are the works of Rafael
Villamil, a Puerto Rican painter,
Donald Ogier.

Both Villamil and Ogier
interpret the world
pessimistically, and they both deal
with social injustices, individual
failures, and war and sex as
destructive forces, But their
manners of presentation are
completely different, which
makes the entire exhibit
refreshing and exquisite.

Donald Ogier, working with
‘three dimensional _ painting,”
enhances the communicative
possibilities of his works because
he involves the onlooker by
making him participate physically
in appreciating the creation.

He uses a combination of found
objects, canvas and wood to
convey his message, and he also
eliminates the “look but don’t
touch” attitude about observing
paintings. Instead, he makes the
sense of touch a compulsory

element in the observation
process
Sliding wood panels, and

hinged doors make for perfect
communion of thought between
the artist and onlooker. “Romeo
and Juliet” is the most ingenious
of his 12 paintings, whereby he
uses the frame of an automobile
which has doors to open to reveal
the meaning of the creation.
Villamil, on the other hand,
uses harsher art forms to

communicate a harsher message
about his world. Instead of using
rich canvas, acrylics and wood
textures, he jabs the onlooker
with aluminum, plastic, morror
chips, distorted pictures, and
flashing lights.

His creations usually deal with
the gruesome ircny of the horrors
of war against a peace loving
nation and the hypocritic religious
sentiment of “love thy neighbor.”
He introduces such an idea in
“The Last of the Great Lovers.”
and “Yes, it Was Not Sad, But . .

Villamil uses mirror chips to
reflect the onlooker, so that he,

too, is distorted and grotesquely
out of proportion. He juxtaposes
bloody scenes with silver
decorative elements to add a
cynical, sadistic enjoyment of the
scene of horror.

There is no solace or hope
whatsoever offered by the-
Paintings of Villamil as he
audaciously reveals the glaring
facts of social hypocricy, abuses
of sex, and horrors of war.

Ogier manages to incorpotate a
less cynical outlook about the
same situations by the use of a
Christ figure in many of his
paintings, which adds a dimension
of compassion for . human
shortcomings.

Both artists make their points
on different emotional levels.

This particularly fine exhibit
will run until October 13.

GRAND PRIX PROVIDES RACY EXCITEMENT

By Paul Mann

Human nature is plagued by a
somewhat large number of
frailties. At this time of year,
certain of these behavioral
weaknesses become more rtahn
readily apparent amongst the
people who are members of the
Grand Prix racing elite.

October brings the penultimate
events of the racing season and
when the Grand Prix circus alights
upon Watkins Glen, a sleepy
hollow in upstate New York, for
the U.S. GP, very few racing
people are in an amiable mood.
There are several reasons for this:
1) Since Everyone cannot be first
all the time, there are many losers
at a season’s fini, 2) Beginning in
May, or earlier, the world’s
greatest racing competitors have
had their nerves chewed and
ravaged by hordes of autograph
seekers, by rounds of testimonial
dinners, by inane public relations
appearances, by cocktail party
gush, by living out of a suitcase in
Europe’s seedy hotels, by stupid
quesitons put by dialy newspaper
journalist and by a general lack of
privacy~because of this bother
and uproard a couple of drivers
have lost their wives this season,
among other things. 3) The first
two reasons for crumby behavior
amongst racing people are
exacerbated by the fact that the
Glen race is prevaded by an
atmosphere of clandestine
intrigue, Machiavellian political
chicanery, and a general scent of
subterfuge. This atmosphere issues
from a great deal of intra-and
inter-team bickering about who is
going to get what contract for
which car next year. Meanwhile,
drivers, team owners, managers,
and wives are all busy casting
aspersions upon one another for
past mistakes and grievances--the
cold chill of error has everyone on
edge. Four letter word expletives
are used in abudance to describe
another man’s personality or car
or both. amid all this
bumbolt and yellow stink of
treachery there was a race on,
Twenty-three of the world’s most
expensive thorough-bred
racecraft, each effulgent with a
kind of tawny pride, each
incredibly erotoic, vulpine, full of
harnessed anger, turned up to do
battle with the asphalt arpeggios

of the 2.3 mile Watkins Glen road
racing circuit.

Friday practice was held from
one to five pee M, and Saturday’s
from 12-4. The weather both days
was frightful, Smoky colored
lachrymose skies hovered over the
Glen’s autumnal purlieus. Bouts
of rain on Friday afternoon
fouled up fuel mixtures and what
not and croos-winds played havoc
with the newly instituted wings
that all Formula I cars sprouted
this season.

Scuderia Ferrari fielded three
cars, one each for Chris Amon
(New Zealand ) and Derek Bell
(England). The third was a

muletta ear for the boys to play §

with at their whim. Amon
monkeyed around with fuel
blends and the new Y-12
Firestone rain tires. Bell’s car was
kind of an old nail, 15 months of
age, and hence not very
competitive. This was the
Englishman’s second Grand Prix
(his first was Italy) and it is
obvious he hasn’t been around GP
racing long. Being naive, he’s hot
to have any titwit journalist ask
him sum sudsy question or give an
autograph. He'll get over that
right quick, if he’s around racing
at all long. Amon got to work and
turned a 1:04.25 lap. The Kiwi
has turned up the wick this season
and is long overdue for A Grand
Pix victory. Crease (as team
manager Forghieri calls him in his
gumbo English) is a_ terribly
wistful chap and really too nice a
guy to be a racing driver.

Vie Elford and Lucien Bianchi
drove for Cooper-BRM but the
cars were not competitive. The
engines (V-12s) have two-valve
heads instead of the customary
four, and Elford could only
account for this engineering
bobbble by uttering the words
“Politics, my mon, politics”, Vic
reckoned he'd quit racing and go
to the World Series if the weather
didn’t clear up.

Chez BRM works team, the cars
were running ratty too. Rodriquez
was rowing around like a galley
slave and indy 500 winner Bobby
Unser managed to get into a shunt
at the top of the hill past the pits
and beat the bungee out of the
second car. Team Manager Tony
Rudd did much gnashing of teeth

For Women Only

by Leslie King

Encouraging is the word which
would best describe the progress
made so far by the Women’s
Recreation Association.

This past weekend, three
W.R.A. members traveled to
Brockport to attend the New
York State Athletic and
Recreation Federation of College
Women (NYSARFCW)
Conference. From their
impressions, it seems that in many
of the other New York State
‘olleges, the only factor missing
aow is success; but from the looks
of the first General Council
neeting, it may not be so difficult
0 achieve.

“Next week, W.R.A. will present

its first series of Special Interest
Sessions. Beginning Tuesday,
October 15, and extending over a
three week period of Tuesdays
and Thursdays, interested people
will be able to meet to play tennis
from 3:30 to 5:30 P.M. on the

Women’s Tennis courts (near
Dutch Quad).
This will provide an

opportunity for beginning players
to obtain free lessons
(professional lessons are quite
costly) or for tennis lovers to just
play the game.

There will be people on hand,
either from the tennis team or
from the physical education staff,
to give instruetion: :

race but Unser couldn’t get a
move on and packed it up. He
sprained his ankle playing
basketball, for God’s sake,
Thursday night and looked to be
in a considerable amount of pain,
not to mention what he looked to
be in walking back to the pits,
after breaking the car.

One could not view the Lotus
pit without the rise of a lacerating
gnaw in the entrails, do to the
absence of Jim Clark, who was
killed in April at Hockenheim,
Germany in a banal Formula Two
race. Twenty drivers have been
sacrificed to the Goddess of
Racing this summer and that’s
twenty too many. Cineri gloria
sera venit~glory com s late when
it comes to one’s ashes. Anyway,
team Lotus was in a terrible state
of disorganization.
Owner-manager Colin Chapman
didn’t show up til Sunday for the
race itself and Graham Hill looked
to be in charge of team
management in addition to his
own driving chores. All sorts of
incoherent gabble and babble was
going on. Andretti’s engine was
crook all weekend and it was a
tribute to his driving skill that he
took pole position. I reckon he go
so disgusted with the car (the
engine was in awful shape and the
car’s driving manners were nil) he
just flung it, instead of driving the
rattly old mother. Third Lotus
driver Jack Oliver crashed at over
100 mph. in Sat. practice and
wrote the car off. A wheel (the
left rear one) let loose. Lotus are
notorious for flimsy suspensions.

surtees (Honda) looked rueful
and resigned. John is tired of
putting up with the baloney of
Japanes palace politics. He’s had
bouts of mechanical trouble all
season. He played with suspension
geometry at the Glen and drove
like tophet as he always does. In
the pits, he kept looking at wife
Pat with a tenderness and love not
to be expected of a man who has
been described as having an
infinite capacity for hate.

The McLaren Fords of Bruce
McLaren and Denis Hulme (both
of New Zealand) looked
beautifully prepared and as Vie
Elford noted, they started the
race with a tremendous

psychological advantage: having

won the last two Grand Prix at
Italy and Canada,

Jackie Stewart of Scotland,
who ultimately won the race in
the French Matra, drove with
great ebullience and impecable
style. He turned the  fastes
practice lap on Friday, which was
never headecd except by Andretti
who took the pole in the last few
minutes of Saturday’s trials. The
works Matra of J.P. Beltoise
looked lumpy aerodymanically
and the Frenchman just barely
trundled thru the ruck during the
Grand Prix until the clutch blew
up on the back straight.

Sunday’s dawn brought more
of Wagner’s Gotterdammerung
weather. Before the race, motha,
we took a speculative stroll about
the Infield, to view some of the
93,000 ale-washed wags
composing a Weekend subculture
unto themselves-one gets the
impression that a great many
people are pursuing an autistic
way of life. WHat a donnybrook
the Infield is. Pasty veal-faced
college blokes drunk to the gills,
sitting in Indian-style postures of
grave stupor. Slack-mouthed
tongue lollers with last night’s

vomit down their fronts. All the
males, of course, are hot to play

kissy-face and touch-body. Every
once in a while one can walk past
a tent and hear some young
wench’s voice inside gruffly
whisper “Stop That!” The blood
wary cattle crowds. Minds of stale
torn rags.

A little past two o'clock, nerves
tensed, lips tightened in grim
determination, hadns anxiously
gripped gear levers, engines rose to
an excruciating nasal whine, the
flag dropped and then the 20
fixed bayonets of speed roared in
high hot haste up the hill and into
the future to play tag all
afternoon at 170 mph. Stewart
led the flashing cascade of cars
along the front straight, down
into the precipitous loop chute,
then hollering like hell down the
back straightaway, into the 90

and up the hill agains. The
Scotsman never gave up the lead.
Andretti (Lotus) blustered after
him like a rocket for 33 laps until
the transmission packed up. A
“parte poste” Gurney and Surtes
were conducting a helluva flap
cum ding dong for third spot
behind Graham Hill, who took
over second slot from teammate
Andretti, The cars tore on under
skies mentioning rain, playing nip
and tuck down the back
strightaway with some of the
most incredible dicing I've seen in
a great while. Beltoise’s Matra
sounded sicker than Guy
Lombardo’s saxophones. Amon’s
Ferrari was down in the seventh
after 20 laps and finally packed
up two thirds of the way thru the
race with a broken water pump.
Crease relieved himself of a few
choice words to Forghieri after
the race on water pumps in
particular and Ferraris in general.

for his third Grand Prix this
season for Matra. Graham Hill was
second, 25 seconds behind. Big
Bad John Surtees finished third in
his torqueless wonder of a Honda,
a position he picked up on the last
lap when a grim Dan Gurney lost
fuel pressure on his McLaren
Ford.

The next race is in Mayheecoe
and only Denny Hulme has a
mathematical chance of winning
the World Championship there.
He scored no points at the Glen as
he fell down and broke his crown
by spinning at the hard right
hander in front of the pits on lap
93 whilst lying sixth.

a fine motor race. too often

League II competition.

ALC Heads

League II

EEP Commands Three

by Tom Libbos

As it seems in AMIA, defense is
the key influence, and leagues 2
and 3 illustrate this fact very well.

The leader in league 2,
surprisingly enough, has only
scored twice in two games, while
the highest score in the same
league has been under twenty.

League 3, which is hampered
this year by a lack of team
membership is struggling with
only four teams, but still has shoe
wed a great deal of spirit and
individual effort.

‘At this point,ALC is off to a
fine start and their record is 2-0
which leads league 2. This year,
ALC has combined all their talent
into what seems a trophy winning
team. Depending mostly on their
very strong defense, ALC has been
tough thus far - they have shut
out both the Raiders and TXO by
ascore of 7-0.

On offense, ALC is cpatained
by quarterback Jerry Calvario,
who intercepted a pass and sped
for a touchdown against the
Raisers and passed to Steve Shear
for a score agains TXO.

State Quad and Waterbury A
opened their season with State
winning 12-2. It has been their
only games but a substantial
amount of abillity was revealed on
both’ sides State’s
quarterback,Jim Cavanaugh,
proved very effective, and
Waterbury’s captain Pauf
Smalheiser also did a fine job.

The Raiders led by the
Cudmore Brothers - Dave and
Rog, showed good scoring ability

agaisnt APA where they
overpowered the good guys by a
score of 19-0, Their record is 1-1.

TXO, captained by Gary
Simser, is even on the year at 1-1.
They could very well be a threat
as they improve with each game.

In league3, Potter Club has
again illustrated a seemingly
overpowering team. With such
impressive individual efforts of
Kevin Sheehan and Charlie Stamp.
the Club has compiled a 2-0
record by defeating STB and State
by scores of 12-0 and 13-6
respectively.

In other league 3 action,the
Huns scored a forfeit over State.

Middlebury College

Homecoming Opponent

Middlebury College, having
only recently returned from a
European tour will be the
opponent of the Albany State
soccer team for the Homecoming
game this Saturday. The
Middlebury team toured
throughout Europe playing
twenty games aginst teams from
Germany, Denmark, Sweden,
Finland, Russia, Poland, and
France.

Although the team was winless
on their tour, the experience
which they gained will
undoubtedly serve to make them
a better disciplined team than

they otherwise would have been.

The Albany booters will be
seeking to even their record and
maintain their winning ways in
Homecoming games.

Thus far this year, the Great
Danes have one win, two losses
and one tie. They have, however,
displayed a propensity for scoring
as they have amassed eight goals
in four games.

The game on Saturday promises
to be particularly exciting as the
players will have the extra
incentive of playing before a large
Homecoming crowd.

STB

Mauls Waterbury 34-0;

Tappan Defeats Potter 7-0

yy Jeffrey Saperstein
Two teams emerged this week victorious in League I intramural action, and both must be considered

champion contenders.

On Monday, Tappan upset the Potters 7-0. State Quad is now 2-1 and this game proved that they have
jelled into a competent and cohesive football team.
Both teams were unable to mount steady drives in the scoreless first half.

Tappan broke the ice in the
second half, when quarterback
Cass Galka threw a pretty pass
into the flat to George Margan.
Margan did a little ballet so as not
to step out of bounds and finished
it off with a dive into the end
zone. He then kicked the extra
point, for Tappan’s 7-0 victory

Both Jim Sommerville and
Royce Van Evera played fine
games for the Tappanites.

The first routing of the season
took place Tuesday afternoon,
and it was another shutout, STB,
with probably the finest set of
receivers in the league, also got
great performances from
quarterback Larry, Myers and both
lines. They dominated action over
Waterbury through the entire
game.

The first time STB got the ball,
(after a partially blocked kick)
Myers rolled right and threw a
touchdown pass to Tom Sears,
Myers used this roll out pattern
quite effectively, often choosing
to run power sweeps to balance
his passing game. One of these
sweeps was good for STB’s second
touchdown.

‘An interference call set up
STB’s third touchdown, Myers
threw a long pass to Tom Nixon
and the first half ended, 19-0.

The great pursuit by STB’s
defense, especiallly Al Herzlich,
caused Waterbury quarterback
Monte, to fumble in the end zone,
for a safety. A long pass to Tom
Sears led to Mike Pavy’s first t.d.
He also caught one to finish the
scoring at 34-0.

dim Healv plaved a great game,
making a beautiful onehanded
grab. Payy and sears were stars,
along with defensive halfback

Most Valuable Runner trophy.

His transition to college
cross-country was smooth. Once
in the grips of Albany State and
Coach Munsey, Paul began where
he had left off, scoring highly in
meets against State’s
cross-country opponents.[ ‘“‘The
distance is longer - that’s all” says
the talented senior, though it
doesn’t seem to bother him at all.
He was third man in his high’s
school’s frosh squad, fifth man as
a soph, and third man again in his
junior year.

In his junior year, Paul won the
Most Consistent Runner Award.

Aside from his achievements in
cross-country, Paul has
distinguished himself in other
areas as well.

Frosh Harriers Place
Fourth At Le Moyne

The Freshmen cross-country
squad traveled to LeMoyne this
past Saturday to compete in the
LeMoyne Freshman and Junior
College Invitational meet.

‘The team placed fourth among
the ten teams competing. Last
year, the freshmen squad won the
race as Larry Fredericks
established a meet record of 14.30
for the 2.8 mile course.

The frosh harriers placed two
men in the top ten of the fifty
runners competing. They could
not, however, manage enough
points to challenge the ultimate
winners, Buffalo State.

In addition to losing to Buffalo,
Albany also was outpointed by
Cortland State and Alfred
University.

Top runner for Albany was
Paul Holmes who finished fourth
with a time of 15:47. Dennis
