Danes Split Vacation Pair
Fall to Hartwick, Upset Hamilton, 91-83;
Cavanaugh Scores 36 in Season Finale
by Mike Piekarski
While most of the university pop-
ualtion was enjoying its recent vact-
tion, the Albany State varsity
basketball team was fighting for its
life. Tangling with powerhouses
Hartwick (ranked number one in
Division I-11) and Hamilton
(winner of the ECAC Division II
tournament last week) at University
Gym, the Great Danes were,
amazingly, able to salvage a split.
Defeated by Hartwick 70-68 on
February 27, the Danes rebounded
to upiet a heavily-favored Hamilton
aquad by a 91—83 marginthefollow-
ing Tuesday. That victory closed out
their seasonal record at 12—I1 and
kept Coach Richard Sauers' streak
of never having a losing season here
intact at 21 consecutive years.
Albany finished third in the SUNY
Conference which was won by
Plattsburgh.
In the Hartwick affair, the hosts
led early but trailed for most of the
game, With the Warriors employing
‘an aggressive 1—3—I zone which,
according to Sauers, was “tough for
‘our small guards,” the Danes were
having their problems,
“They [Hartwick] had three guys
at 65", 616", and 67" as a starting
front line and we had to work hard to
get off a good shot,” explained the
coach.
Surprisingly, the Danes morethan
held their own off the boards—
thanks mainly to a hard-working Vic
Cesare who snagged a game-high
total of 12 rebounds,
The Danes led 24—20 late in the
first half, but were outscored 12—2
in the remaining minutes and trailed
32—26 at intermission, Most of the
damage was done by speedy Dana
Gahres and center Bill “Stretch”
Martin—a reported pro prospect.
‘The Warriors increased their lead
as the second half opened, but the
Danes kept fighting back. With
Albany center Barry Cavanaugh in
foul trouble, Sauers moved Kevin

Gymnasts Finish at 12-7:
Sixth in N.Y.S. Tourney
by Chaistine Bellini
“We competed against top-flight
schools and held our own quite
well,” said Dr. Edith Cobane, the
varsity Women’s gymnastics coach,
regarding the team's 12-win-7 loss
season record,
‘The Danettes completed ‘their
schedule in late February, tosing a
pair in a triangular meet, 72,60
points, to Canisus (101.20 points)
and Ithaca (78,50 points) colleges
and splitting their final meet with
72.00 points to Rhode Island's 72,75
and Westfield’s 71.15 point totals.
‘The team never ceased to showim-
provement.
“The Westfield meet marks our
highest total," ‘said Cobane, “with
scoring like that (72.00 points), no
‘one can complain, It was a beautiful
meet with equal teams competing.”
‘The New York State Tournament
‘on March 6th was the zenith of the
season, consisting of competition
between the ten New York State
schools of Canisus, Cortland,
Brooklyn, Wthaca, Brockport,
Albany, Cornell, Hofstra, Queens
and New Paltz, (Listed in order of
final rankings.)
Placing 6th in the final ladder,
Albany scored it’s highest total of
75.10 points to wrap up the season
with a grand finale,
Outstanding performances were
executed by Carla Landsman, first

(23rd) events. Julie Aciun captured

with a fine performance, “He really
asserted himself out there,” said
Sauers.
With seven minutes left in the
game, Hartwick led 57—46 and held
an cight-point advantage at the 4:43
mark. Winston Royal then found the
range and popped in a few quick
buckets to bring the hosts back to
life,
Albany closed to within two but
could not get the knotter. Their best
chance came with less than a minute
remaining. Trailing 68—66, the
Danes had gained control of the ball
as Royal brought it upcourt. Near
the foul line, he tried to split the
defense, but had the ball deflected
away. Hartwick’s Ralph Pugliese
was then fouled and his two free
throws put the game on ice. Keane’s
bucket at the buzzer was academic.
“It was the right play,” Sauers said
of Royal's last-minute turnover.
“Had he kept his balance, I think he
could havefound Audi underneath.”
Royal, however, was Albany's top
point-getter with 14, while
Cavanaugh garnered 12 and Keane,
10. Gahres and Martin shared top
honors with 19 apiece.
As for the Hamilton contest, the
story, in a nutshell, was Barry

Booters Host Home Invitational
by Nathan Salant
Contrary to popular belief, the
varsity soccer season did not end in
December with a 4—3 NCAA Tour-
nament loss to Binghamton, but
continues through the winter
months via a number of indoor tour-
naments, including the Albany In-
vitational, scheduled for Saturday
(6:30 pm—10:30 pm) and Sunday
March 13 and 14 (this weekend), at
the University Gym.
Albany will enter two squads
(team field seven players as opposed
to the I-player units outdoors)
against some of the finest schools in
the country, including: Cornell,
Hartwick, and Oneonta (Each of
whom participated in the NCAA
Division | Tournament); Adelphi
i 1 NCAA Tourney); St. Fran-
cis; Keene State, and Kings Point
(ECAC Tournament); Binghamton
(Div. If Tournament); RPI, and a
team to be named today
Last year, Hartwick and Oneonta
were the finalists, with Hartwick
overcoming a 2—0 Oneonta lead to
win, 3-2
“We expect to do very well in this
one,” said Albany varsity soccer
coach Bill Schieffelin. “The competi-
tion will be the finest we've ever had
at this school in the way of indoor or
outdoor opponents, but based on
our strong showings in other indoor
tourneys so far, we have to rate with
the best teams.”
Indeed, Schieffelin's commentary
is easily supported. Albany has par-
ticipated in five indoor tournaments
to date; their worst showing was
semi-final loss to LIU, 1—0 in the
Southampton Tournament.
‘The indoor season began at St.
Lawrence, where the Booters easily
won the tournament, beating Con-
ference foe Plattsburgh in the
process, Next came the Hartwick
Tournament, with Albany pitted
against such Division { foes as

Legislature Slashes SUNYA More

SUNYA President Emmett B.

their entirety,”
and has forwarded his report to
SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and
the Board of Trustees. Both are ex-
pected to approve the report
The termination of seven doctoral
Programs, five master’s programs,
cight bachelor’s programs and
various administrative functions will
cut $1,343,200 from the SUNYA
budget.
This figure matches the figure in
Governor Hugh L. Carey's Ex-
ecutive Budget.
Last night the legislature released
its biget, cutting an additional
$44,200 from SUNYA. $33,700 of
that was in foreign student advise-
ment and $10,500 in public relations
activity, TAP will not be cut.
Dean of Student Affairs Neil
Brown, when contacted at homesaid
he suspected that the foreign advise-
ment cut includes the director of the
International Student Office. The
director's secretary, and the director
of Sayles Hall
He pointed out that the resident
director of Sayles Hall is not an ad-
visor as the Legislature probably
thought—it is on the same budget
line with the ISO by fluke.
David Van Dyck, Director of
Community Relations said the cut in
public relations activity could affect
catalogues or brochures created in
his office, or possibly equipment.
The legislature's budget cut public
relations throughout the state
bureaucracy. Foreign student ad-
visement was cut on each campus
where a program existed for the
and many SUNY schools had ut
funds cut because it was felt they
were not efficient enough.
Fields’ cuts, based on Carey's
original budget, are the same as the
Task Force's: doctoral programs in
Classic, French, Romance
Languages, and fourinthe School of
Education (the original six were con-
idated into two); master’s
ms in Art History, Com-
ative Literature, Malian, Latin=
American Studies, and Speech
Pathology and Audiology; and
bachelor’s programs in Art History,
Astronomy, Comparitive
Literature, Environmental Studies,
Studies, Italian,
ag and Speech Pathology and
Audiology
Some courses in these un-
dergraduate areas will be continued,
however, for non-majors
Fields’ reallocation of resources
away from the Humanities last
semester has been delayed by the
new budgetary situation. Those
reallocations were to have added
faculty to the schools of Education,
Criminal Justice, Business, Public
Affairs, Social Welfare and the divi-
sion of Social and Behavioral
Sciences.
While Public Affairs will gain two
positions next year, Education will
lose five, and the other beneficiaries
will have a net change of zero.
Humanities, which was to lose nine
positions under the reallocation
plan, will now lose 12 in the first
year.
Fields followed recommendations
to elimiate the Office of Um
dergraduate Studies and the
Vocational and Veteran's Counsel
ing Center. Their responsibilities will
be redistributed.
Student Affairs was cut by 12.5

university offers “more programs
than can be sustained with available
fesources. We must now give up
some for the sake of others.”
Fields pointed out that the current

Cutbacks Near Final Stages; Tension Mounts
Board Of Trustees Sues Nyquist

The SUNY Board of Trustees is

Numerous people found the first

states in Roiling Stone magazine
that, “After ell, watching this show
can be something like a Rorschach
Test and—well, if the person
watching you merely stares blankly,
nodding in grave agreement, while
slapstick, mass murder, venereal dis
ease and general mayhem appear on
the sereen, you might just have
legitimate cause to worry.”
One of the reasons that viewers
“stared blankly” at the screen the
first few shows may be due to the
lack of a laugh track. One viewer
says tha, he couldn't quite unders-
tand what the show was about when
he first viewed it. The humor was so
subtle, people didn’t know how to
react.
However, the show's absurdity
and outrageousness has confirmed
its humorous ‘intent fo those who
waited (o find out. Others who didn’t
catch its meaning, turnedit off, com-
menting that it was “sick.”
Many students interviewed agree
that the show is much funnier when
viewed in the Campus Center than it
is at home. The group laughter seems
to produce the same effect as a laugh
track, In addition, they feel theshow
has “definitely improved since the
first few shows.” One new aspect is
the use of organ music at the end of
certain dramatic points.
While Mary Hartman appeared to
be an“intolerably stupid housewife”
in the regular
viewers can see the intricacies of her
personality that make the show so
appealing.
Laura Guerino says," Mary Hart=

doesn't care, while she over reuets 10

Liberal Arts Degree No Gateway
by The College Press Service
Once considered (he gateway to
success, a liberal arts degree may in-
stead be the route to restlessness. A
study recently completed by the
College Placement Council shows
that liberal arts graduates are in-
creasingly displeased with their jobs
and in many cases would like to find
different places to work.
‘And to compound their problems,
humanities and social studies
students are having more trouble
just finding a job—regardless of how
well suited it is to their training—
than students who started college in
the carly sixties.
The study was made by polling a
group of 127,000 freshmen in 1961
and another 250,000 freshmen in
1966. A tollow-up study done in
1971 queried a sample of each group
to see what they thought about the
jobs they got after graduation and
how their education prepared them
for their work.
While about two percent of the
1961 freshmen were unemployed in
the 1971 follow-up study, that figure
was up to 18% for liberal arts
graduates hitting the marketplace in
1972,
at Haifa, and a law degree from
Hebrew University.
While here, Abo taught Hebrew
literature and Hebrew language, as
well as the multi-media course, He
also served as the acting chairman of
the Judaic Studies Program for the
1972-73 school year.
Abbo's work on his multi-media
method was financed by a SUNY
Central grant.
‘The method, which involves audio
lab sessions, TV tapes and live
sessions, was instituted at SUNY in
1972.
Current chairman of the Judaic
Studies program Stanley Isser said,
“It enabled us to stretch out our
resources and sections. Although the
Project started with practical pur-
poses in mind, it eventually formed
into research in itself and he[Abbo},

of writing it up for a doctoral disser-

Fiscal Scalpel Slices SUNY
by Gavin Murphy
‘The fiscal scalpel has cut widely,
deeply, and in some cases
haphazardly into the 1976 state
budget, according to a SASU
analysis of this year's state budget.
‘These cuts have mandated reduc-
tions in expenditures for almost all
state departments or agencies and
according to the 1976 Executive
Budget Analysis prepared by Joel
Packer, a SASU legislative director,
“SUNY was given by far the largest
cut” ($51,8 million).
Governor Carey has said that the
state faces its greatest crisis since the
Great Depression, and itis apparent
that public higher education will suf-
fer as a consequence,
SUNYA faces an overall budget
reduction of $1,369,500 and the loss
of 118 full-time teaching positions.
State University scholarships will
be reduced by $2 million and all
graduate student scholarships
eliminated,
Programs for the educationally
and economically disadvantaged
(SEEK, EOP) will be reduced by
$3.6 million.
‘The Governor has called for anin-
crease in tuition, which according to
the SASU analysis already “ranks
high among public universitiesin the
U.S.." being the sixth most expen-
sive in the country.
The number of students enrolling
in SUNY schools has increased
steadily over the past decade yet the
1976-77 budget calls for enrollment
reductions.
Despite proposed reductions in
students, the faculty-student ratio is
shown in the analysis to increase in
1976-77 to 16.6 students per instruc-
tor. The analysis also shows an 84.6
per cent increase in the average
faculty salary over the last ten years.
‘At Albany the following entire
programs have been recommended
for elimination: Comparative and
World Lit. (undergraduate and
graduate), Art History (graduate),
Italian (undergraduate and
graduate), Romance Languages
(graduate), Environmental Studies,
Inter-American Studies
(undergraduate), Latin American
Studies (graduate), Nursing
(undergraduate).
According to Packer, the
fecommendations “will go to the
legislature and they can increase the
proposed budget or decrease it," or
they can jst approve it as itis,

won't add any more money.”

Mardi Gras Celebrators Go Crazy
by Edward Moser
‘The New Orleans Mardi Gras isa
“drunken Halloween,” “A great
place to see in mid-winter, a lot of
srl with very litle thes on” and
a good excuse to go mental.” Thus
tthe capsule comments of some of the
SUNYAites who caught the wild
carnival prior to its end on March 3,
‘Ash Wednesday.
Mardi Gras means parades, Social
clubs called Krewes enter floats in
the vast processions, with costumed
club members sitting on them and
throwing necklaces and ‘doubloons’
out to the watching crowds.
“People go crazy to get these little
pieces of tin,” says Ed O'Neall, one
observer from Albany. SUNYA’s
Lenny Goldman gives an example:
“1 put my foot onto one of the
doublons (tossed out). A bigfat old
lady came over and started
wrenching my leg, screaming'I want
itt 1 want itt? " Lenny does not say
whether it was the tinny pice of
prestige or his leg that the woman
wanted,
Above all, Mardi Gras means
total unrestraint, judging from the
stories of those who attended. "I met
this cabbie from Chicago,” says Wal-
ly Thorman, “wearing nothing but
Nehru shirt, He said he comes every
year.” Wally estimated the age of this
dope-smoking, acid-eating, self-
described baseball bleacher bum as
“about fifty years; he was all gray.”
On the street Lenny spotted two
seedy looking women leaning on a
parking meter pole, In a Southern
drawi, one said to the other, after
pointing to the pole, “Meredith,
thats just about your size, isn't it?”
Some of the male revelers wore
only jockstraps, while others who
donned bras and panties would
‘gratefully “stop and pose for pic-
tures," said O'Neall, Albany's
Annette Galassi observed the sex
joints weren't reticent about adver-
tising their wares: “Sometimes they
kept the doors of a house of ill repute
‘open, so youcould see the girls hang-
ing out in the hallways.”
These kind of sights would often
contrast with more quaint ones
Next to a whorehouse would be a
‘great Dixieland jazz band, while
next to a whore trying to make a
pick-up, would be a gray-haired Bo-
jangles tapdancing and getting
thrown nickels and pennies for his
trouble.
A lot of the action revolved
around the balconies of buildings
overlooking the parade streets. Ac-
cording to Mike Burley, people on
the balconies would use trinkets like
beads or necklaces as incentives to
bait those on the street into doing
certain things.
“They'd yell, ‘Take yourshirt off!"
to a girl below, and when she did
down came the necklace reward, Ex-
hibitionists of a more theatrical bent
would slowly undress on the
balconies themselves, to the pleas
and hoots of the audience below
A good deal of this fun is expen:
sive, for the Mardi Gras is a great
tourist trap. Bar prices are ut
rageous, and, says SUNYA’s Tim
Smith, a half-hour stint ina massage
parlor costs $25.

CIA Indulges Foreign Officials.
by Cary B. Ziter Z
Tax dollars are sometimes spent
by the U.S. intelligence community
to satisfy the whims of foreign of-
ficials or to provide heads of state
with liquor and female companions,
the House Intelligence Committee
has charged.
Shortcomings in audit and cost
control procedures lead to the spen-
ding abuses, the committee said.
The House of Representatives In-
telligence Committee report on the
Central Intelligence Agency was
published this week in “The New
Citizen," a Schenectady weekly, with
the permission of The Village Voice,

Monday the report does not jeopar-
dize the national security “one iota”
but did say the report will embarrass

ficials
The committee report—as
reprinted in “The New Citizen"-
said one foreign official described his
son's enthusiasm for model airplanes
tothe chief of a Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) station. The foreign
wanted three model plane
Kits and even advised the CLA where
to buy them in America. A cable was
sent to the states by the CIA re-
questing the purchase,

Gatorade, One CIA employee was
immediately relieved of his ordinary
duties and assigned to meet the
golfer’s needs.
The report said a “medium sized
station” purchased over $86,000 in
liquor and cigarettes during the past
five years. The purchases were
designated “operational gifts” for
friendly agents or officials “in return
for information and assistance.”
The committee was unable to
determine the reason for certain
high-cost items being purchased in
secret for many overseas stations.
The committee said hundreds of
refrigerators, televisions, cameras
and watches are purchased each year
along with a variety of home fur-
nishings.
“The question is why an American
television would be purchased here
and sent‘to Europe if someone was
trying to conceal his involvement
with the United States,” the com-
mittee said. “Power requirements
abroad are different, and a
transformer has to be installed onan.
appliance t-rught in the U.S. before
it will work.”
The commitice report said tax-
payer monies were spent to provide
heads of state with female com-
panions and to pay people with
questionable reputations to make
pornographic movies for blackmail.
Other funds may have been used to
buy limosines for foreign
dignataries.

siders in intelligence spending which
now totals at least $10 billion, three

has becn told, Congressional and

“Executive officials do not stress
the lack of a centralized budget
authority in the intelligence services,
which causes enormous waste,
duplication and hidden costs in
military intelligence, There is little
consideration given to the extraor-
dinary spending latitude granted to
CIA, or to the CIA's heavy use of
‘unvouchered’ funds. There is no ex
planation from FBI of the reasons
for millians of dollars of ‘confiden-
purchases.

January was
forced to adapt himself to a new
‘college im a very short time before
lasses got under way.
Transfers said that adjustment to
social life at SUNYA was not dif-
ficult. Lynn Maxson, from
Mansfield College in Pennsylvania
said, “Coming from a small school,
this place is like a country club.” She
said, “There is more entertainment
than we ever had.”
Many complained that there was
no organized entertainment the
‘weekend before classes started, when
‘most transfers arrived on campusfor
the Spring semester. “It was very
lonely here at first,” said onetransfer
student, “We didn’ know what todo
oF where to go.”
When asked if she thought SUNY
students maintained cliques. Linda
Mirabal, from Cazenovia College in
New York said. “People hang
around with the same people as a
‘means of security because the school
is so big People can easily get lost
and lose their idemity.”
Cold Students
Maxson said, “It’s a pretty cold at-
mosphere among the students.” She
said, “An elevator ride would be a
perfect example of the situation.”
“I think everybody’s got their own
group. Whether they are good or bad
depends on how easily you can get
into oF out of the group if you wish,”
said Debbie Smith from Siena
College in Loudonville.
‘Academic adjustment, for most,
was difficult since many felt that the
competition at SUNYA is more in-
tense. Transfers for the Spring
semester were given a “shock-
treatment” orientation session where
they were warned that their
cumulative index would decrease a
whole point in their first semester at
SUNYA.
Those in charge of the orientation
session used the fear philosophy to
spur the new students to work hard.
‘This strategy succeeded only in mak-
ing the first day of classes a“D-Day”
with most transfers expectingtofind
an ogre with a whip in place of the
professor.
Those who transferred from other
State University centers; Bingham-
ton, Buffalo, or Stony Brook, said
the competition and work load was
about equal. However, most
students who transferred from
smaller state colleges and communi-
ty colleges felt that the students at
SUNYA seem much more grade
conscious and more intent on
beating the other guy.
A transfer from Brockpon said,
“Back in my other school everyone
just worried about themselves,
Everyone did their own studying and
ho one cared what anybody else was
doing. You'd never catch anyone
asking a student what his index was
for last semester. People don't care
about grades.”
Cutthrost Competition

if it stimulates added interest, but the
minute it gets cutthroat, i's
overstepped its bounds.”

Delving Into Past of Albany’s Irish
by Maria McBride Bueciferro
The Irish didn't just settle in
Albany; they came, saw, and con-
quered it.
“Conquered is no exaggeration,”
said William Rowley of the SUNYA.
English department in an “trish
Month” lecture at Harmanus
Bleecker library
Rowley said, “After $5 years in
power, should Dan O'Connell
[Albany's political chieftan) die or
resign, could Mayor Corning ignore
the power of the Irish com-
munity?" After overcoming poverty,
prejudice, and disease to hat
power, would the Irish let him?
When Governor Thomas
Dongan, an Irishman, granted its
city charter in 1686, Albany was a
pluralistic town of Dutchmen,
French Walloons, Quakers, French
Protestants and Lutherans. Though
Rowley spoke of one Irishman nam-
ed_Jan Andriessan de lersman Van
Dublingh, afarmer and liquor excise
tax collector, around as early as
1644, the first inflow of Irish to
Albany was during the 1700's,
By 1790, 644 heads of families in
Albany were Irish; some had been
mercenaries in the French and tn-
dian War, some had been soldiers in
the British army, and some had
fought against the British in the
American Revolution.
Rowley told of one incident:
“A group of Tories locked
themselves up in the Albany County
jail for a sit-in, They spilled gun-
powder onto the street, threatening
to ignite it if they were moved in on.
The patriots doused the powder with
water, and one brave frishman nam-
ed McDole grabbed a club and
stormed his way in. The Tories were
subdued, and later hanged.”
‘After the Revolution, Yankees
settled in Albany. Among them was
Erastus Corning from Connecticut
(Mayor Corning’s great-great grand-
father) who became president of the
New York Central Railroad and the
Albany City Bank. The Irish settlers
Were well-established in Albany
when control of the city shifted from
the Dutch to the Yankees in the
1820's.
Between 1820 and 1855, the Irish
population in Albany grew from
2,000 to 23,000,
The building of the Erie Canal in
the 1820's brought the first wave of
poor Irish immigrants, a wave that
became a flood during the potato
famines in Ireland in the 1840's,
Some immigrants came up from
New York City by boat, but most
came down from Canada and over
from New England. Some walked all
the way.

Anti-Catholic feelings peaked at
the same time. A crowd of Germans,
who made up 12 percent of the pop-
ulation, burned an effigy of Mon-
signor Bedini at a rally in Capitol
Park. The vis monsignor,

Irish workers were notto be ignored,
Dignitaries, bankers, investors, and
Politicians had gathered, and so did
members of the labor movement in
white coats. Ralph McClinton
shouted a toast—“To the cartmen of
‘Albany: may they never back out
when they can drive in"—and got the
most chen.
“The Irish didn't back out in
Albany. :
By 1829 they made up five to ten

‘of Albany, which fought in
the War of 1812, and owner of a
wholesale meat business, Maher “in
a miniature Al Smithcampaign” lost
the election “but was a champion.”
He also wedded the Irish vote to the
Democratic party, a marriage still
viable today
Irish immigrants streaming into
Albany between 1830 and 1855 saw
obstacles early Irish settlers didn't
have to face.
After being met at the dock and
exploited by hustling runners who
sold them overpriced or phony
tickets to the West and overpriced
boarding house reservations, im-
migrant families would find
themselves crowded into small
tenements with as many as 23
families in the South End, Limerick,
or Albany's slum along Canal St. in
Sheridan Hollow.
‘St residence.
‘A fracas also occurred at the Alms
House when it was discovered
someone had given Protestant Sun-
day school books to the Catholic
children.
Not all the Irish immigrants were
poor and unskilled. John Taeffe, a
dlerk in Dublin, took a wife in New
York City and stopped in Albany on
his way west by the canal to St.
Louis, He went to mass at St. Mary's
and was so impressed with the
‘Albany of the 1830's that he stayed

came to Albany with a price on his
head when the Patriot’s Revolution
of 1837 failed in Canada, He settled
here, becoming a distiller of liquats
and the sixth wealthiest man fh
Albany, owning the Schuyler Man-
sion.
Though the poor Irish had to
struggle, they had certain advan-
tages over other minority grou
they spoke English and weren't ghet-
toized in one section ofthe city. They
‘weren't isolated. The Irish communi
ty established welcoming com-
Tmittees after the potato famines to
familiarize newcomers with the
political, economig apd social situa-
tion. z
‘The immigrants weren't a docile
bunch. They had dances, jigs, prize
fights, cock fights, brawls... and
an Irish nationalistic spirit.
Rowley told of an Albany visit by
British royalty:
“In 1860 the Prince of Wales was
met atthe riverfront and brought up
Broadway to the Capitol. Most Irish
stayed home. James Cassidy,
however, placed his truck at the in-
tefbection of State and Broadway.
‘When he insisted it remain there, he
‘was arrested. The Irish police of
course later let him go.”
Albany Irish fought in the Civil
War—General Phillip Sheridan's
equestrian statue in front of the
Capitol attests to that. Alter
demobilization it sought to irritate
the British again
Two Civil War officers, Brigadeer
General James Heffernan und
Colonel Terence Quinn, led a com-
pany of 150 mentoinvade Canadain
the Fenian movement in 1866. The
‘American Fenians, wanting to help
the Irish Republicans free Ireland
from British rule, sought torouseihe
‘Canadian Irish to the cause and to
establish military bases there.
Heffernan and Quinn, however,
were arrested by the U.S. Army at
the border and jailed, but made it
back to Albany in time to lead their
companies in the Fourth of July
parade.
The Irish had become a political
power in Albany. This power was
proven when Albany elected its first
Irish mayor, Michael Nolan, in
1878—eight years before Boston,
and two years before New York
Rowley said, “The diarchy—when
two hierarchies share power
equally—was established between
the Yankee-Dutch and the Irish
when Nolan won. They could con-
quer or deal with each other, and
chose to deal.”
Nolan was president of the
Beverwyk brewery. He sent out red,
white, and blue wagons packed with
Irish lager to every saloon in town
when he was elected,

JACK POT AWARD
A New national marijuana
Publication, The Daily Beaver, has
named Jack Ford as the winner of
the first “American Weed Seed
Award.”
The Publication, which is dis-
tributed monthly to thousands of
head shops and record stores across
the U.S., says the honor is “Ac
corded to the person who has done
the most, either on purpose or by ac-
cident, to bring legalization of mari-
juana to accomplishment.”
The Daily Beaver explains that the
President's son was chosen for his
admission of using pot, “Thereby
contributing more than anyone else
inthe past year to mariuana’s accep-
tance in the mind of the American
public.”
Jack Ford will be presented with a
ey belt and buckle emblazoned
with a picture of a marijuana leaf.
BETTER RAT TRAP
Many peopletalk about buildinga
better mouse trap, but the Ame
Dryer Corporation has actually
done something about it.
The Fall River, Massachusetts,
Company is out with an automat
rodent trap that grabs the unlucky
rat with a pair of steel spiked jaws.
The rat is then automatically clec-
trocuted, picked up and dumped
into a plastic bag where an arm at-
tached to the trap pushes the dead
rat to the rear to make room for the
next victim,
A LITTLE FAITH
Former Western star Lash Larue
has beaten a marijuana rap by hav-
ing his conviction overturned by the
Georgia Supreme Court.
The 57-year-old Western
came up with an unusual ex;
tion for having a baggie of grass in
his hand when he was arrested on
drunk charges last May. At thetime,
ue insisted that the pot wasn't
his; he stated that a repentant young
hitchhiker had just given it to him to
throw away after Larue had given
the hitchhiker some fatherly talk and
abible
Larue was convicted last summer,
but the whiperacking idol of Satur-
day matinee fans learned this week
that his arrest last year was unlawful
and that the pot charges will,
therefore, be dismissed.
STEREOTYPING
When does sexism begin?
Well, according to The American
Journal of Orthopsychiatry, sex
stereotyping may begin a few
after a baby is born.
Journal reports that
researchers interviewed 30 pairs of
first-time parents, 15 with newborn
sons and 1S with newborn
daughters, Each parent was asked to
describe their boy or girl babi

The Journal reports that even
though there was no difference inthe
size or weight between the male and
female infants, the daughters were
described fter, finer featured,
littler and more inattentative” than
the boys, Fathers, the magazine says,

In a related study, The Journal
reports that 150 undergraduates at
Tufts University were asked to look
at three slides of a week-old infant
named Sandy. Students stereotyped
the baby as “littler," “weaker” or
“cuddlier” when told Sandy was a
girl than when Sandy was identified
as.a boy.
ELECTRO-BRAIN
‘A New York Bioengincer reports
he is trying to develop a system that
would put the human brain in direct
contact through electrodes with a
computer,
‘Adam Reed of New York's
Rockefeller University says that
dlectrodes implanted in the brain
would make computer of the future
a direct extension of the human
mind.
In a report delivered to the
American Association for the Ad~
vancement of Science, Reed argues
that the brain-computer hook-up
would give the average person the
ability to understand anything and
everything he orshe would ever want
to know.
Reed acknowledges, however,
that there are some sinister im-
plications in his idea: he admits that
it would be possible to use com-
puters to dictate or control the
thoughts of persons hooked up to
them,
Reed predicts that a miniaturized
computer that could be hooked upto
the human brain and implanted un-
der the skull will, be ayailable within
the next $0 t0 60 years,

engulfed in feelings of profound
serenity.

fight or switch?
To the Editors:
Adaptable SUNYA Students (ASS) is a
recently founded student organization on
whose purpose is to work as aliason between
‘the administration and the student body of
SUNYA, We feel that the recently published
‘Task Force Report represents a new and im-
Portant set of priorities and directions for our
‘school. Prior to the publication ofthe report it
was superficial activities as teaching and
research, but it was the wise thinking of the
Task Force whick brings to light the true
priorities of SUNYA, the activities of the ad-
ministrative sector of the university.
ASS feels that rather than fight the in-
novations which the more experienced
members of the university community wish to
introduce, we as students should be more
feasonable and openly accept those changed
with the spirit of kinship and adapdability
which makes our university what it is today.
ASS wished to aid and assist the administra-
tion in its struggle for recognition as well as to
play an integral part in the practical applica-
tion of the task force's decisions.
ASS feels that fundamental tothe success of
the university is the replacement of obsolete
“knowledge increasing” and “knowledge im-
parting” with more vital administrative ser-
vices. Because student participation would in-
crease the success of such services, we feel that
courses of instruction should be offered which
will facilitate easy adaptation to the new
dard. Such courses as Introductionto Gradua
ting, or Elementary Phone Answering, or Ad-
vanced Reception, or possible even graduate
work in Classroom cleaning and maintenance
would be living examples of the spirit of the
university.
Quick adoption of the new directives of the
schoo! would eliminate gross wastes of tim
money, and valuable services. Therefore AS
will direct its energies to the facilitating of
these new programs for SUNYA.
Apology should be made at this point for
any vagueness or superflouity in this docu-
ment, but with the elimination of Com-
parative Literature and the reduction of the
English department, acquiring writing skills
necessary for such activities is much more dif
ficult nowthat we are implementing more vital
Programs.
Mare Leve
promoting education
To the Editor:
Some of our undergraduate programs have
cither been eliminated or have deteriorated
badly. Among a number of examples, I me
tion five. Closing of the Milne School cut
down any real practical aspect of the methods
courses of the School of Education and
eliminated what was once a fine student
teaching program. Liquidation of the Allen
Center will stop any tenured professor who is
of sound mind from getting involved in any
all-university undergraduate curricular ex-
periments for a long time, Talk of the demise
of the school of nursing puzzles people, in-
cluding nurses who write letters to the
Knickerbocker News to point out that there is
an increasing demand for graduates of four-
year programs. A close look at professors’
Tecords who have not received tenure or
promotion recently will show a number who
received as part of their recommendation high
ratings as teachers from both students and
colleagues, A recent recommendation that
raduate programs need more professors with
higher national prestige could mean that un-
dergraduates would be taught more and more
by the temporary, the inexperienced, and the
mediocre,
Ifthe situation is as deplorable as some of us
feel, what can be done? First, as has been
pointed out, we can simply agree publicly that
graduate programs are first, and then clearly
inform those teaching undergraduates that
this in the case, This should be made clear to
students and parents who, if they want a good
undergraduate education for their, children,
can advise them to go elsewhere. A student
with a high SAT, a very highset of grades, and
‘a good deal of money can gotoasmall college
like Williams: where all full professors, a
number with fine national reputations, teach
undergraduates. There are, of course, good
undergraduate colleges in the SUNY system.
However, if we think that undergraduate
education here is important, we should
organize a group to present our concerns to
the administration. Such a group might con-
tain not only tenured faculty but alsostudents,
parents, and alumni who have profited from
the fine undergraduate education which they
feceived. We should consider, too, doing
something new and exciting with our graduate
Programs, eliminating some traditional re-
quirements, developing more interdisciplinary
co-operation (as we have in some programs),
and encouraging some of our undergraduates
to stay with us for more than the time needed
for the undergraduate degree.

more SAnd piles
To the Editor:
Inadditiontothe Albany Student Press, the
Off-campus Student Guide and the Tower
Tribune, SUNYA has « new SA publication
entitled “out of the SAndbox.” It seemsironic
that. while our system is facing vast cuts and
student groups aré preparing to go before
budget committees, our student leaders can
preoccupy themselves with the endeavor.
The publication (it cannot be dignified by
the term newsletter or newspaper) seems to
duplicate many of the functions of the ASP,
while heavily emphasizing SA activities
SAndbox seems to be nothing more than a
propaganda sheet which allows student
leaders to give their own slant onSAactivities.
SAobviously feels the ASP is denying them
suitable coverage,
‘This became obvious with Rick Meckler's
recent letter to the editor. He felt the ASPhad
distorted the importance of a missing $200.
‘The story only highlighted the failure of SAto
provide effective leadership on issues of
freater magnitude. In addition, Meckler ac-
wed the ASP of too great a concern with
Journalism, That's interesting. Journalism has
its roots in uncovering the truth. Could this
mean Meckler would like less accuracy in the
ASP and its coverage of SA?
The ASPhas come under Meckler's guns for
carrying too little 54 and campus news
However, there is an entire community here at
SUNYA interested in all that the ASP offers:
from sports to arts to news—worldwide,
nationwide and universitywide. The ASP is
not without fault but it does deal with the con-
cerns of students on a broad seale. To narrow
this range would further damage the college
student's already distorted perception of the
world outside this school,
In my opinion, SAndbox is a reflection of
SA’s inability to deal with its inadequacies
ASP has nothing to gain by being critical of
SA. It must be remembered that ASP is stu-
dent funded also, A student cunnot help but
surmise that SAndbox represents SA's
willingness to spend our monies on a futile
attempt to portray themselves more kindly.

reciting
residents’
rights
To the Editor:
I wish to add my voice in support of the Ten
k Liberation Army (ASP Feb, 24)
‘This campaign against the imperialist un-
iversity housing authority is of a provoked
nature. Residents living in Ten Eyck were not
aware of the inconveniences, nay, atrocities
which would be committed against them when
they signed to live in the dorm, In particular,
the imperialist attitude exhibited in the com-
mandeering of the Ten Eyke study room
shows the true colors of thie housing office. this
‘room, which was invariable in use last year by
a large number of people, was considered in-
significant compared to the placement of an
office an mimeograph room (currently oc-
cupying that space). The failure to provide the
hall with a working television set also shows
the lack of concern shown to the dorm (ex-
cluding the offices) by the university.
‘Although independence from the quad, un-
iversity, and stateis a bit extreme, I believethe
ultimate goal of the TELA to be the reinstitu-
tion of our rights as residents of Ten Eyck, and
1 wholeheartedly endorse and support the
TELA in this endeavor.
Mr. Ten Eyck
superficial survey
To the Editor:
Inthe last issue of the ASPbefore vacation,
an article appeared concerning an off campus
housing survey. It was conducted by the Office
of Residences (specifically the Off Campus
Housing Office) “in an effort to obtain infor-
mation on where students are living and what
problems they arefacingin locating housing,”
Yet the summary’s recommendations don't
deal with off campus housing at all, Rather
they call for “an increased effort in makingin-
formation available to students about finan-
cial aid and part-time work.” All well and
‘good, but where's the connection with dealing
with the immediate concerns of off campus
students. The survey is practically useless. It
doesn't tell where anyone can find housing or
what that housing is like. Someone might be
pleased to know that they are the typical off
campus students, but there are no benefits
derived.
What's the solution? The Off Campus
Association (a SA funded group) is currently
conducting their own housing survey, which
‘can be picked up at the Campus Center Infor-
mation Desk. This survey is radically different
in that it's solely being utilized for the benefit
yone wishing to find a place to live off
mpus.
What's the difference? The information
gathered will be available for anyone and
everyone to make use of, Information
available will be the location of each dwelling:
whether a lease and/or a security deposit are
required; how much is the rent
cluded, and if not, how much are the;
ments onthe landlord /tenant relationship and
the landlord's maintenance of the dwelling.
There are also items eliciting whether the
‘occupants will continue to liveinthe dwelling,
and if not, whether they would recommend the
dwelling to be occupied by others
Here's a yood tool for use in fo
apartments for next year and how to evaluate
that housing. And you'll be able to discover
what landlords own what housingin the area.
And while we noticed mention of the Guide
10 Off Campus Living in that articl
be mentioned that these Guides were prepared
and published by the Off Campus Associa-
tion. These Guides contain useful and impor-
tant information pertainingtothe problems as
well as the benefits affecting those people liv-
ing in the community.
This information includes: Housing (leases,
landlords, deposits, insurance, housing codes,
eviction, etc.), Legal and Health Services
(Legal Aid Society, S.A. Lawyer, consumer
information & protection, a guide to Small
Claims Court, Medicaid, prescription drugs,
on campus health facilities, and health clinics
in the Albany area), and Transportation Ser-
vices & Daycare Centers.
Later this month another Guide will be
published detailing the preparation in moving
off campus (how to go about looking for and
evaluating housing, choosing roommates,
dealing with utilities, etc.). Copies of these
Guides may be obtained inthe Student Life of-
fice, CC130,
Other projects the Off Campus Association
is involved with are: Information Sessions
(such as Food Stamps, N.Y. Telephone,
Medicaid, etc. & on Wednesday, March 17
there will be a representative from the Albany
Housing Code Enforcement Bureau from 11
to L inthe Patroon Lounge), the formation of
an Off Campus Student Lounge (located
between Billiards and Check Cashing),
feinstituting the Housing Board, as well as
‘aurveys to help students cope with
life in the Albany community.
To involve others that are interested in the
above topics, the Off Campus Association is
holding interest meetings on Wednesday,
March 17, at 3:00 and 7:00, and on Thursday,
March 18, at 4:00 in the Off Campus Student
Lounge.

nursing
our
priorities
To the Editor:
Wednesday afternoon the Budget Com-
mittee of the New York State Legislature met
to hear the proposed SUNY budget for the 76-
77 semester. The only matter of importance it
seemed, was the fate of SUNYA’s nursing
program. And it was rightlyso, Assemblyman
Landes in questioning members of SUNY cen-
tral said that the cuts should not “calculate
public fear” and show “a lack of sensativity”.
The nursing program is the only un-
dergraduate at Albany where you are virtually
‘a “Professional” when you get your degree.
Last year 100% of the nursing graduates
received jobs. How's that for effectiveness.
‘Though the program will be phased out in-
stead of cut, this year’s freshman nursing class
will be out in the cold, When you are accepted
to Albany, you are accepted to the nursing
program, and this school should obligate their
part of the bargain; that is to graduate these
people with nursing degrees also.
Assemblyman Landes said that the freshman
nursing students will be deceived if they are
not graduated, “they entered a program in
good faith and the intistution should not
deceive them.”
What perturbed me also was the fact the
Chancellor Boyer did not have the guts to
show and meet the nurses head on. Instead he
sent some of those “administrator's ad-
ministrators. In arough estimate by Professor
Bernard Johnpoll, the self proclaimed an-
tibeauracrat, cafculated that the ad-
ministrative costs of SUNYA could possibly
run as high as 359. Their fringe benefits are
not even added to the budget. | feel these ad-
ministrators add nothing to education. It is
also rumored that maintenance costs at this
school could run as high as 20 f the t
budget. feel budget. That leaves the student
with 4% of the total, Instead of axing the nur-
sing program let's remove some ad-
ministrative positions. 1 wouldn't know who
the in of Humanities was if | walked over
him
Assemblyman Landes asked forthe creation
of a committee to study the possibility of mak-
ing the SUNYA nursing program an excep
tion to the axe, but Chancellor Boyer's
representative siad that there was no chance.
Up unit! now Chancellor Boyer has not made
4 concerted effort to meet with our nursing
students. | think he owes them that courtesy,
considering they are the most productive
school in SUNYA as far as the job market
goes.
Though Harvard University has a 60% total
graduate enrollment, their per student budget
comes out to approximately 4,100 per one,
ours is about 5,300 per one, but how much do
‘we actually get out of that?
| think its about time that SUNYA central
re-evaluated its priorities. It is completely
assinine to remove such a successful program
as the nursing one here at SUNYA.

Slanders and Misconceptions

Recently a column appeared here on Nix-
an’s trip to China, In what was supposed to be
ascholarly, analytical articte. the author made
several undocumented comments about the
government of the People’s Republic of China
which we feel constitute slander. The author
claisned that “Richard Nixon was a |
the finest tradition of what the Chinese con
sider politics. That is, one euts down any un-
derling or competitor for the purpose of m
ningandenhancing power. . .Nixondidn't
ill peoptein the millions like Chou En-tai did.
but he certainly cut down, ina figurative sense,
anyone who challenged him.” Regarding the
first part of this claim, we fee! nothing could be
further from the truth, And the second part is
entirely groundless; we would be happy if the
author could explain just who these “millions”
re that Chou Enlai supposedly killed.
Rather than relying on unfounded nonsense,
vwe feel the author should take a look at some
of the facts, which we will present he
Firstly, it isn’t even necessary to consult
communist journals or sympathetic sources
almost all analyses of China's government
whether made by liberal or conservative “ob-
jective” researchers, shaw beyond shadow of
a doubt, that the Chinese Communist Party
under the leadership of Chairman Mao, came
to power in China nor through “Watergate
means (i.e, wiretapping, bribery,
ry), but through the active participation
of the hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
The current campaign in China to criticize
“capitalist-roaders” is an example of this same
‘active, mass participation, and, one of the
means by which this is achieved, the use of
“character posters”, is strongly reminiscent of
erin
history, the Great Proletarian Cultural
Revolution, When the Chinese people grew

A similar event accutred several years later

| Demonstrate Diligently . . .
—
Today thousands of SUNY students are marching to the steps of the Capitol, where
they will rally in protest of the State University budget cuts. Students ard being busedin
from all parts of New York Stateto participate in the demonstration, Supposedly, they
are joining forces to fight for a common cause—higher education. It is crucial that they
keep this in mind.
For those involved, the value of today's demonstration should lie not with the
demonstration itself, but with the change it seeks to affect. They musn't confuse the
means with the ends.
Often, people become too caught up in the spirit of protest, loosing sight of its
purpose. A longing to bring back the visible, radical movements of the sixties is no
reason for picking up a placard, waving a banner, or mouthing off into a megaphone.
Purpose,after all, is what brings them together, not nostalgia.
When a demonstration evolves into a forum for name-calling and the espousing of
unconditional demands, it loses its integrity, and thus, its potential worth, A
demonstration must find its impetus in critical thought and sensible argumentation,
Today's demonstration presents SUNY students with a well-deserved opportunity
to voice their dissatisfaction with the nature and extent of the cuts made from the State
University budget. They must, however, keep in mind that the entire state is suffering
from this fiscal crisis.

Cutbacks in various other state departments will leave many factions dissatisfied.
They too will protest and make demands of Governor Carey and the legislature. To
disregard their needs is selfish and narrow-minded.
What the demonstrators must demand is a careful re-evaluation of the state's
financial situation. They must demand that their arguments be heard—but not that

What's In
A Date?
by Robert M. Bartell
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Liberty Lobby News
Service}
Feb. 22 was George Washington's birthday.
No, wait aminute, it was Feb. 16. . . or was
it the 28th? In any event, we didn’t observe it
on bis birthday in order to make the celebra-
tion more convenient for the government
work force. Or so they say. I'm not so sureit
doesn't mean something else.
it would appear that shifting the birthday
celebration of America’s honored leader
means more than just giving the bureaucrats a
three-day week end. It includes a conscious
downgrading a de-emphasis—of the memory
of George Washington, For nearly 200 years
school children have revered the memory of
the first President, bringing nothing | but credit
to the nation and the people.
Today we have the Pike Committee leaking
damaging information about the CLA and its
commander-in-chief, the President. We learn
more unsavory details about several
Presidents who allegedly wereinvolvedin the
overthrow of foreign governments, assassina-
tion of high government officials in various
foreign nations and sundry sexual episodes
Presidents are considered to be above. To
fearn your hero has feet of clay is dis
illusioning and the state of disenchantment
extends to other Presidents.
1 suppose historians have dug up all the
damaging information they can about
Washington. This never interfered with our
respect for him as anableleader, a statesman
and a Founding Father. Respect for the
Presidency, in large measure, has been
‘supplanted with a cynical wariness as
appear to be waiting to discover what else can
be uncovered about their leaders,
Not so in Washington's day. For example,
Lord Cornwallis, who commanded the
British forces at the battle of Yorktown and
who personally surrendered to Washington,
might have been an enemy on the battlefield,
but he was a friend afterthe war. In his declit
ing years Cornwallis braved the North Atlan-
tic storms in order to accept an invitation to
visit General Washington... an old
soldier's final tributeto an honored adversary.
Chateaubriand, foreign minister in the
court of Louis XVIII of France, knew
Washington, He also knew most of the greats
of his time—Byron, Wellington, Metternich,
George 1V of England and Alexander of
Russia, Chateaubriand made no secret of the
fact that he admired Washington. Comparing
Washington with Napoleon, whom
Chateaubriand didn't like, he labeled
Napoleon a foreign-born crook, murderer and
confidence man, He spoke of Napoleon's tac-
tic of using France as a pawn in order to
aggrandize himself, bleeding the French na-
tion white on a thousand battlefields. And he

American hero who retired prematurely from

Grand Juries
and Justice
by Erica Silver
‘As we all now know. in recent years the FBI
and the Nixon Administration had set out to
systematically oppress the “New Left" and
anyone who opposed the U.S. policies in Viet-
nam, During this effort, many methods of
harassment were perfected by the repressive
arms of the U.S, government. Now that the
war is over, these repressive efforts continue,
and today the harassment is being directed at
two of the most effective (and threatening)
movements for social change. the black liber
tion and radical feminist movements. The
timate aim is to imprison or intimidate those
considered most dangerous.
A tactic employed toward this end is the re-
cent widespread abuse of the grand jury
process. By granting “use immunity”, the
government can imprison people without trial
for the duration of the grand jury whenever
subpeonaed persons refuse to allow their per-
sonal rights of privacy to be violated
QUASH, the newsletter of the NY Grand Jury
Project, is an endless litany of such cases
around the country. One recent grand jury in
NYC was established after contraband was
discovered in a courtroom neur the three
Black Liberation Army defendants then on
trial, Oddly enough, people attending the trial
hed that day after having been
y day previous to that, Coin-
idence? Twelve persons, all of whom were ae-
tivists (including two lawyers) who frequently
came to the trials to lend support to political
prisoners were subpoenaed. Six of them are
still facing imprisonment for contempt
During the FBI search for Susan Suxe and
Catherine Power, grand juries were establish-
edin Kentucky and Connecticut, astensibly to
ssequire leads in the search for these Fugitives.
However, the questions asked were so broad
that it became obvious that these grand jury
investigations were intended also to be in-
telligence gathering efforts into the feminist
and gay communities, Grandmothers,
parents, employers and landlords were ine
formed of the sexual preference of persons un-
der questioning, Two women in Connecticut
‘were recently freed after over eight months in
prison, Jill Raymond in Kentucky is stil im-
prisoned (without a trial) after a year, ‘The jail
conditions for Jill are harsh, She is allowed
‘and she’s the only
woman in the county jal
OF course, once the ages ts of repression
achieve their ultimate aim of imprisoning a 1o-
called dangerous person, this political
prisoner then has practically no protection
from their abuse. Consider the case of Aasata
Shakur, a member of the Black Liberation
‘Army. Since May, 1973 Assata has been in
jul, and she has yet to be convicted of any,
crime. She has been acquitted in three trials,
and one trial ended in a hung jury.
Throughout these trials in NYC, Assata was
dept in the psychotic ward at Rikers, For
refusing to let the prison doctors treat her,
afterthe delivery of a child, eleven male guards
beat her, causing internal bleeding and head
injuries, Her fifth and final trial begins this
month in New Brunswick, New, Jersey.
‘Assata Shakur has conducted,*political
trials"; that is, she has used her trials as a
forum to expose injustices. Another such trial
will begin in April when Susan Saxe begins her
defense. Susan's case has been tied to the in-
cidences of grand jury abuse mentioned above
and with concern over prison conditions. She
aecepted w ten year sentence last summer to
prevent further investigation into the
Philadelphia women's community, She has
made it clear that she intends to fight to keep
her trial and other struggles against the in-
justice system from being seen as separate
lights, People are organizing throughout the
country around Susan Saxe, Assata Shakur,
grand jury abuse, and prison relormstrugy
Demonstrations and benefits have been held
in many cities: many alternative news
and organizations have been trying to spread
the word, Obviously, in this short space, only
the harest outlines could be related to you, but
hopefully you'll seek out more information.
The struggle against oppression and for the
righty of political prisonery is a difficult one.
Ay Assata Shakur hay said. “Throughout
America's history, people have been ine
priyoned because of their political beliefs, and
charged with criminal aety in order to justify
that imprisonment, . .. sat next tou pregnant

doning of a president who had stolen millions

Threat of Stagnation }3\
by Stephen Eisenman
and Naomi Friedlander
The university, by nature, is the
center of intellectual growth, and
nowhere is this more visible than in
SUNYA’s humanities programs are
being threatened with stagnation;
and the English Department is a
prime object of this assault.
The National Board of Graduate
Education, in a report published in
the Chronicle of Higher Education,
gave these startling statistics. Of the
33,000 Ph. D.'s granted in all fields in
1974, “as few as 7,000 and certainly
no more than 15t0 20,000 will secure
employment.” Inthe humanities, the
situation is far more severe. In light
of this figure, the proposal to create a
new English Ph.D. program com-

posed of visible scholars, and a
larger number doctoral candidates
from a wide ranging geographical
area, is troubling.
This proposal, suggested by Pr
dent Emmett Fields’ hand picked
committee of outside evaluators
(Hugh Holman, Helen Vendler, and
James Woodress), is now inthe first
stages of implementation. A new
English Department Chairman has
been hired (pending the hiring
freeze). He is John Gerber: 69 year
old retired chairman from the Un-
iversity of Lowa.
John Gerber's credentials are not
in question; he has a fine reputation
Yet at a time when four faculty lines
are being slashed, when the budget
crisis is severe, and when younger
men of fine scholarship are left un-
employed, the question of Gerbe
installation becomes very serious.

When you think of disco music,

SUNYA, of course, is in contrast

groups like Friends are trying to

‘was anything significant about dis-
¢os at SUNYA, and f also wanted to
set what it's like to be a decjay at
SUNYA. Joe Williams seemed to be
the perfect person to talk to.
Joe Williams is a student from
Manhattan, the heart of the New
York City disco scene. He has been a
disco deejay for years and now rates
& the top decjay at SUNYA. His
parties attract many people and are
quite popular, despite their off-
campus locale. He has given discos
for various campus groups, in-
Suding Fuerza Latina.

Joe replied, “but after a dee-

“What about the music?" I asked
“Joe, you always seem to get the best

ple do like to hear new sounds."
“Does equipment count" He con-
ceded that mixing devices help, but
he added that you could use tess

conversation, | get the impression
that he didn’t think he was anything

I asked Joe why people come 10
discos as SUNYA, if they can't ex-
pect a well-done disco. He simply
said, “it’s something to do.” He felt
that love for dancing and wearing

why people come to discos. There
isn't really much for them, oranyone

In spite of criticisms of the type of

‘Of Mice and Men:’
Meek and Mediocre
by David Talfet
Regional theatre in the Capital District is new and
exciting. Two recent productions at the Cohoes Music
Hall, home of the area’s new resident theatre, were both
excellent, and so, with much anticipation, did | attend
the season's final offering
Of Mice und Men by John Steinbeck, running
through March 27, stars Mike Mazurki, a Cohoes
ative. This must be the reason that Mazurki has been
drawing large crowds to the Music Hall each night
despite his limited talent. Although his face is familiar, |
found it hard to place him in any particular role. His
biography insists that he has appeared in more than 200
films, an equal number of television shows, and quite a
few commercials, “including one for Hanes stockings."
Generally Macurki has portrayed villains and
gangsters and his role as Lennie is his first truly
dramatic performance. Lennie, the retarded man, is
played with a total lack of understanding for the
character. Mazurki played Lennie as another criminal,
king him appear stupid rather than innocent and
eliciting no sympathy for him
The credentials of the other actors in the cast would
algo indicate more talent than I witnessed upon stage,
Gino Morra who appeared in The French Connection
and The Godfather, as well as a Ragusauce commercial,
was more Ragu than Godfather, as George, Lennie’s
friend and companion, He played the part of the
Northern Californian usinga strange accent somewhere
between Bostonian and Ozark mountain hillbilly. The
rest of the cast was equally dreadful with one notable
exception. Earl Theroux as Candy, one of the other
ranchhands, tried to inject alittle lifeinto his character.
The production was entirely too long, lasting more
than three tedious hours. In the final scene, when
line with the 4. New criterion for judging and
rewarding faculty performance
George shoots Lennie, ratber than allow others to lynch
his friend, all I felt was relief, not remorse or regret.
‘A lack of imagination surrounded the production,
‘causing one bit of unintentional humor. Candy's dogis
supposed to be asheepdogand twice, while the dogis on
stage, they refer to its breed, Obviously, a sheepdog was
not found for the production and a black and white
mutt was substituted. A small exchanging of the word
mutt for sheepdog would have solved the entire
problem, Without changing the meaning at all, he use
of alittle imagination by the director, would have kept a
sensitive scene serious.
‘So much for this season at the Cohoes Music Hall. In
general, it was excellent. Both The Subject Was Roses
and Arsenic and Old Lace were high calibre
productions that would have graced the schedules of
any repertory or regional theutre group, Next season
again looks quite promising. Life with Father will begin
the third season in November, followed by a Gershwin
musical, Oh Kay, Noel Coward's Blythe Spirit, Arthur
Miller's Death of a Salesman, and Oscar Wilde's The
Importance of Being Earnest. Quite noticeable is the
lack of any play written within the last twenty years in
the schedule,
After the cast of Of Mice and Men took their final
bows, Mike Mazurki stepped out of role to address the
audience which became ecstatic when he said he hoped
to return again next year. Out of character, he spoke no
differently than he hid done as Lennie-performed-as-
Chicago-mobster, The low-class, uneducated voice was
Mr. Mazurki's own.
| began to think about what Mr. Mazurki had said:
‘That he would like to return next year to do another
show at the Music Hall. As a member of the English
Aristocracy in Oscar Wilde's play? As Willy Loman?

Players Association is willing to set-
te for a six-year reserve clause. The
players, under an arbitrator's deci-

“I'm not disappointed,” said
Albany varsity basketball coach
Richard Sauers. “I feel we're as good
as any Division Il team around
right now.”
The Great Danes had just com-
pleted a struggling 12-11 campaign,
but Sauers was anything from dis-
traught. “We beat three of the top
ten ranked teams in the state and
only lost to Hartwick [number onein
Division I-III] by two [70-68], 1
think we're a much better team this
year than last year.”
Last season, the Danes posted a
15-10 seasonal log. Why is this year
“better”?
“We're more disciplined, we take
better shots, and we have a better
bench,” answered the man who has
been around long enough to know.
Doctor Richard Sauers, who
became head coach of the basketball
team here beginning with the 1955-
56 season, has never had a losing
campaign in 21 consecutive years,
His Albany record now stands at 332
wins and only 161 i a 673
percentage, He is alsothe winningest
active coach in the Northeast.
‘What were the reasons behind this
year’s unimpressive showing? Cer-
tainly, one would have to point to
the youth factor. Of the 12members
of the squad, not one was a senior,
and only five were juniors.
“This is the youngest team that
ve ever had,” said Sauers. “In the
past, I've seldom had sophomores in
the lineup. But this year, in one
‘game, we had two sophomores and
three freshmen on the court at one
time,”
The three freshmen, Barry
Cavanaugh, Brian Barker, and
Winston Royal, all showed promise
during the season. Of the three,
Cavanaugh has to be regarded as the
standout. Not only did the 6° 7°
center crack the starting lineup, he
led the team in scoring with a 13.5
points-per-game average—the first
frosh to turn the trick since Gary
Holway did it in the 1955-56
season,
But even if someone had predicted
the Danes would come up with a
rookie sensation, no one could ex-
pect them, before the season began,
to come up with a winning season,
Why? The schedule,
“We had our toughest schedule
ever this year,” explained Sauers.

between club owners and Players
Association over a new labor con-
tract,
“1 can't offer you a hard date,
whether it is Monday or Tuesday,
but we will have bateball and on
time,” Kuhn said Sunday in a sur-
prise appearance at the hotel where
negotiations are taking place.
Despite Kuhn's optimism, the
negotiators issued dour reports at
the end of the 29th negotiating ses-
sion,

and cross-town rival Siena, just to
name a few, the cards were not in the
Danes’ favor.
“But it wasn't only them,” explai-
ed the conch. “Theteams that usedto
be pushovers are damn good clubs
now.” For instance? “Six or seven
years ago, Union was nothing.”
(They defeated the Danes twice).
Ironically, the Danes began the
season like gangbusters. Winning
their first five contests, two by
margins of 18 points or more,
Albany threatened to tear up the
Jeague, But a rash of injuries (Bob
Audi, Mike Suprunowicz, and
Cavanaugh, notably) cooled them
off in a hurry, Of the succeeding
seven games, the Danes managed to
win only one, and suddenly, they
were a .500 ball club,
A victory over a tough Oneonta
‘Squad in overtime seemed to give the
Danes a big lift, but it didn’t come
without a price. Star guard Gary
Trevett broke his wrist in that con-
test and now the Danes were minus
one experienced backcourt man for
the remainder of the season.
Junior transfer Vic Cesare seemed
to get more aggressive off the boards
as the season wore on, and
Cavanaugh, too, began to make his
Swimmers
The Albany State varsity swim-
ming team showed great talent and
depth as more than half their team
placed in scoring positions in seven
individual events and all three relays
at the recent State Championship
meet at Brockport. Albany finished
seventh in the 14-team meet.
Individual improvement was the
key to the team’s success as every
member of the team hit lifetime best
times, Two records were broken and
one tied, while three others survived
by mere tenths of seconds.
Steve Bookbinder dropped 14
seconds while easily winning his heat
of the $00 yard freestyle, the first
event of the meet. “I'm a little disap-
pointed," said Bookbinder after the
race, “I know | could have done
better if had only been in a faster
heat.” Freshman Brian Rosecrans
also swam extremely well in the
‘event with a personal best time.
Paul Marshman began the scoring.
for Albany by placing 8thinthe con-
ference in the 50 yard freestyle with a
near record time of 23,2. The medley
relay comprised of Dave Rubin, Jeff
Cohen, Mitch Rubin, and Paul
Marshman ended the first day of
‘competition by winning theconsola-
tion finals and establishing a new
Albany State record of 3:53.4,
Artie Rosenberg was Albany's
sole diving entry and suprisingly did
not qualify in the top 12. “I can't
believe it,” said Rosenberg. “I wasn't
a bit nervous... I felt really comfor=
table, I just couldn't hit the entries.”
The second day began with
Albany entering five swimmers in
the 200 yard freestyle. The bright
spot for the team was Fred Zimmer-
man, who had consistently done 1:58
times all year, but rose to the oc-
solomon
Freshman center Barry Cavanaugh at the foul line in Hamilton
contest, Cavanaugh was leader in scoring this
presence known on the court, as a
dangerous offensive weapon,
But still the Danes continued their
“win one-lose one" style. The
Hartwick defeat left the Danes once
more at .500 with only one game
remaining. (“If our student body was
there [University Gym] when we
played Hartwick, | don't think we
would have lost,” said Sauers).

season, the magic winning streak of

the head coach was squarely on the
line against a heavily-favored

tenths of a second off Dave Rubin's

The 100 yard butterfly was next
with Mitch Rubin, Albany's
strongest entry. After Jeff Rosen and
Paul Marshman proved that they
were top flyers for the team and the
conference, Rubin broke his own
record placing fourth with a time of
0455.3 seconds, Jeff Cohen and Jack
Seidenberg were strong hopefuls in

placed in the top seven in the con-

F.B.L. on Campus
During the 1960's and early
1970's, J. Edgar Hoover
repeatedly urged agents of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
to exert themselves more
forcefully against campus and
other radical groups, according
to previously secret documents
released last week by the Senate
Select Committee on In-
telligence,
The committee included 653
pages of documents, some of
which had been made public
before, in a 1,000-page report on
hearings it conducted in
November and December
The F.B.1.'s
counterintelligence program

“Cointelpro—New Left,”
tablished by a memorandum
from Mr. Hoover dated May 10,
1968. Later memoranda
suggested specific approaches
that F,B.1, agents might take to
disrupt radical groups.
Ina memo dated Oct. 9, 1968,
Mr, doover complained,
instructions and
in the fact of mounting evidence
of {the radical groups'] moral
depravity, little evidence has
hed the Bureau to indic
field offices are using this infor-
mation to best advantag
He ordered F.BL offices to
send anonymous letters to the
parents of any student who was
arrested during a demonstration
or whose “participation in a
demonstration is accompanied
by the use of or engagemtn in an
enclosing
obscene display
photographs, if they are
available.
In a letter he wrote to F.B.L
offices on July 23, 1968, Mr
Hoover said. “I have been ap-
palled by the reaction of some of
our field offices to some to the
acts of violence and terrorism
which have occurred, such as
those which have recently taken
place in certain college towns
and in some instances on college
campuses.”
Mr, Hoover ur
id the field of:
very logical ef
radical
fices to make
fon”
to determine if
groups were behind the violence.
Militancy Escalating Daily’
“L have reminded you time and
again that the militancy of the
New Lelt is escalating daily.”
Mr. Hoover told the agents
“Unless you recognize this and
move in a more positive manner
., this type of activity can be
expected to mount in intensity
and to spread to college cam-
puses across the country, This
must not be allowed to happen
the I am going to hold each
Special Agent in Charge per-
sonally responsible . . . ”
A July 9, 1968, memoto F. B.1.
offices listed suggestions for dis-
rupting radical groups, in-
cluding:
“Preparation of a leaflet
designed to counteract the im-
pression that Students for a
Democratic Society (S.D.S,) and
other minority groups speak for
*he majority of students at un-
iversities. The leaflet should con-
tain photographs of New Left
leadership at the respective un-
iversity. Naturally, the most ob-
pictures should be
noxious
used.”
Taking advantage of “per-
sonal conflicts or animosities ex-
isting bet ween New Left leaders
and of the “definite hostility" of
New Left organizations toward
such older groups as the Young
Socialist’ Alliance and the
Progressive Labor Party.
Creating the impression that
radical leaders are F.B.1. infor-
mants?
“The use of articles from stu-
dent newspapers and/or the
*underground press’ to show the
depravity of New Left leaders
and - members,” especially “ar-
ticles showing advocation of the
use of narcotics and free sex.
which could be sent to university
officials, donors, legislators, and
parents.
Passing information on drug
use by radicals to local police.
Writing anonymous letters on
radical students and faculty
members to parents, parents’
employers, neighbors, university
governing-board
legislators, and
officials,
members,
reporters.
“Consider the use of cartoons,
photographs, and
letters which will have the effect
of ridiculing the New Left
Ridicule is one of the most po-
tent weapons which we can use
anonymous
against it.”
Previously
documents indicate that FB
offices did use such
against radicals on a number of
campuses, including Antioch
and Oberlin Colleges, the Un-

According to a memorandum
dated Aug, 1, 1968, F.B]L, head-
quarters sent copies of the 1966
and 1967 incomestax returns of a
professor at a Midwestern un-
iversity to one of its offices.
The returns indicated that the
professor had claimed very high
deductions, including con-
tributions to such groups as
$.D.S., the Student Non-Violent
Coordinating Committee, and a
draft counseling service, ‘The
F.B.L office suggested that the

Cooperative Reporters Used
The documents indicate that
the F.B.1, made considerable use
of cooperative reporters ints ef
forts to discredit radicals
A Noy. 5, 1969, memorandum
proposed that the F.B.L. dis-
tribute

memorandum revealing
evidence of the growing dis-
satisfaction of militant” balcks

flicts between the S.D.S. and the
Black Panthers and between the

ed
anti-war New
Committee and the Black U:
Front of Washington, D.C
In 1969, the F.B.1. provided
information on the New Left toa
Jackson Daily News reporter
who wanted to write a pamphlet
1o be distributed on college cam-
puses by the American Legion.
In addition to detailing
empts to disrupt the New Left,
the documents also indicate the
extent to which the F,B.1, con-
ducted traditional in-

A meeting of top FBI. ex-
ecutives on Oct. 29 1970,
proposed a major exppansion of

student organizations
‘A report on the meeting said
the FB, estimated th

bout 2.500 persons and that
“about 252" independent radical
groups on college campuses in-
cluded about 4,000 persons
While the F.B.1. had investigated
CUNY and SUNY students marching to the demonstration
those groups, the report said, the
bureau executives proposed that
investigations be opened on each
of the 6,500 individuals.
Expanded Probes of Black
Groups
The report added that the
F.B.L, hud previously ine
vestigated only black student
organizations that showed
evidence of black extremist ac-
tivities.” Because of an increase
in campus violence, the F.B.I. of
ficials proposed that all black
udent organizations be in-
vestigated, “regardless of their
past or present involvement in
disorders.” The officials es-
timated that this would involve
opening 4,000 new cases,
The documents did not in-
dicate whether the increased in-
vestigation of S.D.8. was ever
carried out, but the biack-
student investigation was. A
Noy. 4, 1970, memo ordered
F.B.L. offices to subject black
student groups to “discreet
preliminary inquiries” and to
“open individual cases on of
ficers and key activists."
The documents also revealed:

The mandatory, uniform
“College Fee" of $12.50 per

tinue to charge all students on
the basis of its contract with the
State Dormitory Authority, It is
charge that most students who
ay the semi-annual SUNY ex-
penses know nothing about and
so it is important to reveal the
facts
Prior to 1955, the Dormitory
Authority constructed and
operated the dormitories, stue
dent unions and food service
operations, The Authority
collected a rental ch da
combined dormitory, student
union and food service fee. In
1955, Lease Agreement was
entered whereby the operations
of the dormitories, the student
and food
operations were transferred to
the State University, and a lease
payment (rental payment) was
ade to the Authority to lis
quidate the outstanding debt for
unions service

dent union facilities constructed
and financed by the N.Y.S. Dore

the floor of Central Council is
brought before one of six stan-
ding committees. The
membership of the committees
fare made up of both council and
non-council members. One of
the duties of The Athletic
ince. Committee (AFO),
chaired by Ellen Deutschman, is
to approve the fiscal budget of
the Intercollegiate Athletics
Program. Monies are allocated
fromthe past season contingency
fund for SUNYA athletes to par-
ticipate in championship tour
naments such as the NCAA
(National Collegiate Athletics
Association), ECAC ( Eastern

and other similar tournaments,
At the present time, AFC is
cussing the budget line by line for
the 1976-77 fiscal year. Meetings
are held in PE 231 at the gym. All
those interested are invited to at-
tend.
The Administrative and Aux-
iliary Committee, chaired by
Anne Markowitz, deals with ex-
tra student, needs, (such as check
cashing) and anything dealing
with the administration of
SUNYA(including the bursar
and the registrar). Committee
members are working in-
deprndently on various projects.
