On October 31, 1970, several hundred students, mourning the deaths of 4 Kent State
students, marched to the State Capitol.

On October 15, 1969, Albany students listened to the reading of 39,000 names of war
dead. As of October 2, 1971, the U.S. ‘death toll was 45,564, South Vietnamese totaled

33,922, and North Vietnamese and Vietcong 775,509. ~-rosenberg

Moratoriums: Past and Future

In The Beginning...

by Maida Oringher

October 15, 1969 was the beginning. The State University of New
York at Albany held its first anti-war moratorium. On that “national
day of mourning,” Albany State students took part in various actions
protesting the Vietnam war, actions that bear resemblance to next
Wednesday’s plans.

At noon, two years ago, students listened to the reading of 39,000
names of war dead; at 1:00 Loren Baritz, professor of history at
Albany State, held a festival for the “Assault on the Culture of
Death” at which various speakers discussed topics relating to mass
culture and the Vietnam war. The afternoon’s activities ended with
workshops covering such topics as “Education and the Culture of
Death,” “War As Mass Culture,” and “Draft Resistance and The War.”
Ideas were discussed, exchanged and discovered informally between
students and faculty.

Next came the candlelight march from Draper Hall to the Capitol.
Students brought their cries outside of the campus and urged Albany
residents to take part in the protest. Congressman Daniel Button,
Nassau County Executive Eugene Nickerson, Student Mobilization
Representative Bill O’Kain joined the thousands in criticizing the war.
Nickerson aimed his comments toward President Nixon, “There are
lessons to be learned, Mr. President, Our questions to you may not be
new, but you have yet to answer them!” Reverend Frank Snow
appealed for amnesty for political prisoners, “We ask for amnesty...not
forgiveness, for they have nothing to be forgiven of...a humble and
penitent nation should set them free.” ae i

The speakers were articulate, and the marchers were willing to listen.
Some wondered, however, if anyone in Washington was listening as
they chanted, “All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

Events for the Future

by Audrey Seidman

Plans for the fall anti-war offensive were presented to a group of
about fifty students last Monday night. The SUNYA chapter of the
People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice, held the meeting in
conjunction with the new chapter of the Student Mobilization
Committee. Jack Schwartz, a spokesman for the group, revealed the
campus actions.

As a part of the peace project the PCPJ will present a series of
movies on October 8 through 12 at 7:30 in Lecture Center 2. The
Coalition hopes to have a day of guerilla theatre, where a wartime
situation would be assumed on campus. On October 12 Jerry Coffin
of the War Resistance League will be speaking in Lecture Center 2 at
7:30.

The Moratorium, on Wednesday, October 13, will feature a rally at
noon at the podium, There will be information tables, movies, guerilla
theatre, fasting and a vigil at 8 p.m. Groups represented will include
the National Student Association, Vietnam Vets Against the War, and
the National Peace Action Coalition. Workshops will discuss women’s
rights, gay lib, prisons and repression, the Third World, the fall-
offensive, and the G.I. Movement.

Gordon Finch, a member of the National Task Force for the
fall-offensive discussed the plans for action in Washington D.C.
According to Finch, there will be a People’s Tribunal Friday, October
22. Speakers will present evidence and the tribunal will judge cases
such as “prisoner repression and Nixon and the Breakdown of
Democracy.” On Monday the 25, there will be a rally, a Vietnam
cultural festival, and the acceptance of the People’s Seven Point Peace
‘Treaty. There will be a phone hook-up where Minister Nguyen Thi

News Round Up

International
Paris—North Vietmanese officials claimed that the presidential
election “‘farce” in South Vietnam and the recent U.S. bombing
of the North illustrates the failure of Vietnamization, Nguyen
Minh Vy, deputy chief of the Hanoi delegation to the talks, called
on the U.S. to the Communists’ seven-point peace proposal as
“the only logical way out of the war.”

Saigon—Opponents of President Thieu asked the Supreme Court
to overturn results of Sunday’s election that they claim was
unconstitutional. Thieu was the only candidate. The petition to
the court came only hours after Vice President Ky assailed the
election as, “brazenly rigged” by Thieu.

Huyen Quang, secretary general of the An Quang Buddhist
Church, said that he would send a letter to U.S. ambassador
Ellsworth Bunker denouncing alleged American intervention in
the election. He cited the fact that tear gas, weapons and
helicopters used to break up Buddhist demonstrations were
furnished by the U.S.

National
Washington—Responding to Nixon administration pleas, federal
judges have temporarily halted longshoremen’s strikes against
West Coast docks and the Port of Chicago. The judges directed the
workers to return to work for 10 days, pending hearings on
whether the moratorium should be extended the full 80 days
allowed under the Taft-Hartley Act.

Washington—President Nixon announced last night machinery
for administering wage-price restraints that he hopes will hold the
annual rate of inflation to 2 to 3 percent by the end of next year.
Nixon fixed no specific wage or price standards. He turned over
that politically sensitive issue to two newly created quasi-
independent bodies whose major decisions will be subject to
governmental veto.

Washington—House action on a proposed constitutional amend-
ment designed to guarantee women equal rights with men was
postponed yesterday because of the death of Congressman James
G. Fulton, R-Pa. The scheduled vote was put off until next
Tuesday. In a spirited debate Wednesday, Rep. Bella Abzug
stated, “there are laws that say a woman cannot be a hotel desk
clerk at night. But these laws don’t protect a charwoman from the
backbreaking work of scrubbing the floors at night while
their ‘protectors’ are sleeping”

Some cars
look great at the
dealer's. But get them out on
the street and it's a different story. :

Fortunately for us (and you) the MGB isn’t like that. The inklings
you get about it in the showroom are more than realized on the
road.

And the reasons aren't hard to find: a 1798 c.c. twin-carb engine,
rack-and-pinion steering, racing-type suspension, front disc
brakes, and a fully-synchronized 4-speed gearbox. x

So come on in and take a look at the MGB. You'll like it. And
you'll still like it after you take a no-obligation test-drive. And isn't
that what buying a sports car is all about?

Arnold Proskin, Albany County District Attorney, is presently campaigning for re-election. He addressed

the SUNYA Young Republicans last Monday night.

DA Proskin Seeks Re-Election;
Speaks Here Amid Disturbances

by David Shain

In an assembly marred by several disturbances,
Arnold Proskin addressed the SUNYA Young Re-
publicans in LC 2 Monday night. Proskin, Albany
County District Attorney, is presently campaigning
for re-election against the Democratic challenger ,
Tom Keegan.

Speaking to an attentive, conservatively dressed
audience of thirty, Proskin appealed for student
support in his campaign. He spoke at some length
about the Albany County Democratic machine,
which has traditionally dominated area politics. He
reiterated what he considers to have been his major
accomplishment since becoming District Attorney
in 1968: “The principal thing I've done is taking
this office completely outside the realm of politics.”
Proskin deplored the campaign tactics of his oppon-
ent, whom he referred to as an organization
candidate. He acknowledged that during the televi-
sion debate on Sunday, he “wanted to bust him
(Keegan) right in the kisser.” He dismissed the
possibility. that Keegan received the nomination on
merit. At one point, he was asked about corruption
within the Republican Party. He responded by
arguing that the Young Republican Party in Albany
County is not in power and, therfore, is in no
position to steal. “We don’t know enough to be
crooks yet.” While acknowledging the existence of
political patronage, he said that he did not consider
this stealing.

Some five minutes after the thirty-three year old
District Attorney. began an informal question and
answer session, approximately twenty members of a
radical campus organization burst noisily into the

Birth Right

lecture center. After seating themselves in the rear,
one member called out, “You help carry out
enslavement.” Proskin became agitated, saying, “If
they’re here, I don’t want to be here. I don’t need
any wise guys.” He told the group that he would
answer any relevant questions, as long as they didn’t
give him any “enslavement bologna.” members of
the group began to question Proskin about prison
conditions. Seemingly angered once again, he advised
them to consult a a sociologist, saying “I’m a
District Attorney.” He denied having much know-
ledge of prisons, adding that he had never been in
jail, except on business. When asked about his stand
on sodomy, he said that he had no position'on the
subject. At this point, Proskin indicated his inten-
tion to ignore the group, Most members departed,
with much racket and door slamming. Tempering
his comments somewhat, Proskin told the Young
Republicans, “I could sit and rap with those guys all
day. These guys don’t bother me. They’re going to
grow up some day.”

Questioned about Attica, Proskin said that he
considered it a dreadful incident, yet he was
“standing behind him (Gov. Rockefeller) one-
hundred per-cent.” Terming the governor's decision
“gutsy,” he declined to speculate on what action he
might have taken had he been in Rockefeller’s
position, saying “I’m not going té be a Monday
morning quarterback, He made this decision hon-
estly. He made this decision based on the facts that
he had,”

Proskin said that he is confident of victory. Jill
Cassidy, the GOP candidate for County Legislature,
spoke earlier in the evening.

Cops Rap with Students:
Groups Share Ideas

by Mindy Altman

A discussion group presented by Dutch Quad Board aimed,
according to Peter Hickey, to “bring about an atmosphere of talking
instead of shouting,” and ‘create a dialogue that would lead to better
understanding between the two groups.” The. group met last Wed-
nesday night. and drew about 50 students. In this first of a series of
discussion groups, called “A Rap with the Cops,” the students and
police intermingled, and there were many one-to-one discussions, as
well as group talks.

The group of 30 police that came included 15 members of the New
York State Troopers, and 15 members from various other municipal
and county police departments. The men, currently on 10-week leaves
from their jobs, are taking college credit courses at the New York
State Police Academy. Many of them are in a political science class
taught by Peter Hickey, who is also a Residence Director on Dutch
Quad, and who served as a link between the policemen and the Dutch
Quad Board,

The policemen on the whole, admitted that they had been looking
forward to coming and were anxious to talk with the students, to
learn what they were thinking about and how they felt about certain
issues. A few of the men had been apprehensive and a little nervous
about coming, as they had never participated in this type of rap
session before, and didn’t know what to expect. Generally, however,
they were pleased with the discussions and found talking with the
students to be a worthwhile experience. Topics of conversation
included polities, school, drugs, the economic and educational systems
of our society, prisons, the recent Attica uprisings and student
demonstrations. The discussions included many exchanges of anec-
dotes and personal feelings. "

One of the more heated discussions took place between a senior at
Albany State, Jack Schwartz, and a member of the New York State
Police Department. Schwartz, who admits to having a dislike for all
police in general, argued the point that the rich control the United
States and that the police are pawns of political repression and of that
rich society, The policeman felt that he wasn’t being objectively
looked at as a person but was being labeled immediately as an enemy
because of his role in society. However, most of the other arguments
were less heated.

Most of the students at the discussion came because they were
curious and interested. One student found the rap to be beneficial in
breaking down stereotypes of both students and police, Another felt,
however, that because men at the academy were a hand-picked group,
they “were above the average cop on the beat type.”

According to Hickey, the rap session was a success. He feels that
hext time he would like to see this type of discussion on university-
wide basis.

Further Wednesday night discussion groups sponsored by the Dutch
Quad Board will be announced.

Future Anti-war Actions

Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (Viet Cong) to Paris,
will try to end the war by a telephone call to President Nixon, Finch
declared that if Nixon doesn’t accept the treaty the demonstrators
will evict him from the White House the next day in a show of civil
disobedience.
Other national plans include a SMC national strike on November 3

in an effort to close all the colleges, and regional demonstrations on
November 6.

Past Protests at Albany

continued from page 1

Then it was October 1970, and Albany students were again called to
action. Classes were suspended for one day as many mourned the
deaths of four students killed at Kent State University. On October 31
several hundred marched again to the State Capitol; however, the
turnout was small, about 10% as large as the previous year, and the
protestors seemed “bored,” and “unenthusiastic.” One observer said
of that march, “If the October 31 action proved anything it is that the
problems of the ’70s will not be solved by methods of the ’60s.”

Now it will be October 13, 1971. A moratorium is planned for the
same school to protest the same war. Some are optimistic that the
coming actions will have an effect; some are not. However, all
Participants, past and future, are hopeful that no more anti-war
protests will be necessary.

To the Editor:

Cultural Genocide is still being practiced against
Soviet Jews. The Fad is over but the problem
remains. Jews are being persecuted every day. This
past Rosh Hashana (The Jewish new year) for the
first time the Soviet police were actively “en-
couraging” Jews not to go near the Moscow Shul
(temple). They were turning many hundreds away
from the shul, As we approach the holiday of
Simchat Torah the holiday when Soviet jews go to
shul in very large numbers approaches we wonder
what Soviet police will do this time?By the time
this letter is printed this event will have come and
gone. We wonder what is being done for them and
for other oppressed peoples. For the Jew this past
two weeks are days of repentance and of asking

questions of oneself, man and society. We wonder
again who will speak for Soviet jewry now that the
Fad is over?We will ask these questions many times
but this is a most important time to ask them. We
ask you out there and ourselves what have we done
for them today?

Colonial Parking

To the Editor:

Regarding last week’s letter about the inade-
quacies of Colonial Quad’s vacant lot, I have also
experienced the hazards of parking legally. Towing
and ticket charges seem a small inconvenience in
comparison to the expenses already incurred to
replace a stolen side view mirror, and to bang out
and repaint $250 worth of dents due to the
overcrowded, unpaved, undelineated, poorly lit and
scant policing of this lot.

The’ previous damages occurred last year. I re-
turned to Colonial expecting, after the summer, to
see some improvements made. However it was
discouraging to find last week that while parked in
the lot my car was further damaged. How can
security expect students not to park on the circle
and on the quad with this present situation, Instead
of ticketing these cars, let security do something
about the vandalism to the legally parked cars.

A university that is annually increasing its student
body must increase its facilities. If there are any
problems in thinking of ways to alleviate this
situation, any Colonial Quad resident who has
trekked to the lot to find themselves parked in, will
be pleased to offer helpful hints to the adminis-

tration.

Phase II of Nixon's Non-Plan

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Richard Nixon’s speech
last night is what he didn’t say. And he didn’t say plenty. His
statements were so predictable that we guessed his next sentence
as we listened, a particularly Nixonian game of ours.

Apart from the “just folks” fan mail (cleverly culled from
around the nation), the major part of the speech dealt with new
names for the “price-stabilization” committees already in
existence.

He was very vague on specifics, except to continue the
exemption of “raw agricultural products” from the freeze. This,
of course, screws royally the average consumer and organizations
directly related to food preparation, such as our own FSA, Most
specific questions are to be answered today at noon when Dick’s
whipping-boy, JohnConnally, meets the press, These include such
crucial matters as pay increases (negotiated before the freeze)
which will go into effect during the-next four months.

As a sop to the big labor leaders, who have complained about
the lack of restraints on profits and dividends, Richard appointed
a Committee on Interest and Dividends under Arthur Burns
(Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board) which will have the
power (or non-power) to urge voluntary restraint on corporate
America, He made the point that “where this happens (excess
profits), the Price Commission’s policy will be that business
should pass along a fair share of its cost savings to the consumer
by cutting prices.” This applies to “windfall” profits only,
though, because (as we all know) profits generally are good for
America.

So much ‘for nice statements. Even if the President holds
inflation down to “two or three percent per year”, that’s two or
three percent more than wages can rise (They’re frozen remember?)
And you can bet that GM is not going to plow its profits back
into the “savings” Dick talks about.

Phase II is Phase I renamed, and nothing remains nothing, even
if you give it a thousand new names. Congress should put some
teeth into the Nixon proposals, especially regarding profits and
interest, because Dick will never do it himself. It’s time we
stopped deluding ourselves that “1972 is going to be a great year
for America.” It will be a rough year, a year of more
retrenchment and inflation, Prosperity is not around the corner;
it’s going to have to be worked at, and worked at hard, by all of
us. Despite his fan mail,from all the little people (“We can take it,
Mister Nixon!”’), someone’s going to have to restrain the
Corporations.

Perhaps if Mr. Nixon solicited some nice letters from the
Chairmen of the Boards of IBM, U.S, Steel, General Motors, and
all the other greats , we could sleep more soundly,

“Buyer's Guide”
Fan Mail

Upsetting the Monopoly

To the Editor:

Regarding your recent editorial concerning the
“Student Buyer’s Guide”:

Competition is the life-blood of any business.
Those who cannot cut the mustard should get out.
Until recently, competition on the Albany campus
was a myth: The ASP was the only outlet here that
businesses could advertise in and ASP editor Tom
Clingan is determined to keep it that way.

Now the “Student Buyer's Guide” is threatening
to upset Tom’s monopoly and Tom is getting
worried. Now advertisers have a choice of news-
paper outlets at State and perhaps some healthy
competition might do the ASP some good. But, as
they say, Tom, “If you can’t take the heat, get out
of the kitchen.” Rather than harrass the Student
Buyer’s Guide as Mr. Clingan suggested (thus
demonstrating his total lack of responsibility) stu-
dents here should commend the SBG and wish it
well, As for the ASP (whose funds are, unfor-
tunately, guaranteed by the student tax) and its
editor, they deserve neither the respect nor support
of the student body in their attempt to “force” the
Student Buyer’s Guide off campus.

Mitchell Frost

Trash the ASP?

To the Editor:

Joke of the year: An ASP editorial counseling the
student body to deposit Student Buyer’s Guide in
the trash, I should have thought the ASP to be the
most likely candidate for that treatment.

Unfortunately, we are not talking about joking mat-
ters. For the ASP to cleverly’ champion goon-squad
tactics (“ripoff”) to destroy competition press, is
simply disgusting. However, for the ASP to advocate
the legal banning by the student government of a
certain newspaper on this campus or anywhere, is a
serious threat to every citizen’s Constitutional right
to read what he pleases without interference from
constituted authority. The ASP screams about “King
Richard” and supposed repression, and yet the small

communications

minds that scribble its editorials call for goon-squads
and legal banning of the opposition, The Left
always exposes its true nature when given the
chance.

Sincerely,
John C. Bartlett
Brubacher Hall

Response

To Mr. Frost and Mr. Bartlett,

All this “fan mail” calls for a response. It might
interest both Mitch Frost and John C. Bartlett to
know that the student newspaper hurt the least (as a
matter of fact, not hurt at all) by the Ripoff Guide
is the Albany Student Press, As such we have
nothing to gain financially by its trashing. Mitchell
Frost and John C. Bartlett, it would appear, must
always see the world in a financial light.

Doesn’t it interest anyone that the man who put
himself forward as Advertising Manager of most of
the area college papers (and raised their rates
generally by as much as 40%) then proceded to
screw them by sending their advertisers a letter
saying, in effect, “Advertise in my Buyer’s Guide
and save a fortune”?

The first amendment to the Constitution prohibits
the student government here from taking action,
which is re-assuring to me as a newspaperman. Yet
the damage being done by the ripoff guide is too
great to pass unnoticed. Some have remarked that
student newspapers are going through the same
phase that small businessmen went through after
World War Two, only we can make our case more
publicly because we are a communications medium.
This may well be true, which poses the question,
“Which would you rather have, a successful student
newspaper (all this paper takes money, be it tax
money or advertising), or a 100% advertising Stu-
dent Buyer’s Guide.” The choice, as they say, is
yours, Are you going to let the Cavanaughs of this
world make it for you, while the Frosts and the
Bartletts stand idly by?

Tom Clingan
Editor-in-Chief

A Suggestion

To the Editor:

The concluding advice of your editorial of
October 5 seems rather senseless.

Since a student newspaper is funded in large part
by student taxation, we assume that the primary
purpose of the ASP is to provide a service to the
student body which subsidizes it. The allocation of
commercial advertising space in the ASP should be
viewed as an adjunct to this primary purpose—that
of service to the student. The generation of addi-
tional revenues from ad sales should be considered
only an incidental benefit. Since the ASP chooses to
enter the business arena by selling commercials (“to
make a buck”), it should be expected that compe-
tition would ensue.

This has happened with the introduction of a
private venture called “student buyer’s guide”. It
seems to me that because of its wider inter-school
circulation and broader advertiser base, this pub-
lication provides an informational service which no
single college newspaper can.

A more sensible way to “knock the competition”
is to recommend that student government establish
and levy a fee on any private publication for
distribution rights on campus.

To relegate “‘sbg” “unopened into the nearest
trashean”, only contributes to our rampant paper
pollution.

Respectfully,
Nick Argyros

(Editor’s note: Mr, Argyros’ idea of a fee levied on
“private publications” who distribute on campus is
good, but vague and difficult to enforce. Perhaps a
better wording would be “private publications
containing more than fifty percent advertising by
area”, It would remain difficult to collect and
enforce, in any case.)

He’d love to go back and be a normal old bear again.
And if anyone deserves retirement, Smokey does.
Since he’s been wagging fingers, the number of forest fires in

America has been cut in half.

But millions of acres of trees still burned down last year.

And 90% of the fires were started by the same people who have been
hearing “Only you can prevent forest fires” for 26 years.

We've got to get rid of all those deaf yahoos before we think about
putting Smokey out to peaceful pastures.

FRIDAY, OCT:

To Vote or Not to Vote

Allen LeVine

Registered
Democratic

Allen LeVine, a senior, is 21 and
hails from North Belmont, N.Y.
Asked if he has registered tovote,
he replied, ‘Yes, I enrolled as a
Democrat - one of my parents is
also.” Allen applied for an absen-
tee ballot, and doesn’t mind not
voting in Albany as “I’m gradua-
ting this December. If I were a
freshman I’d want to (register in
Albany) but as it is I'm going to
be leaving in a few months.’ The
Inquiring Photographer asked Al-
len if he felt 18-21 year-old voters
were going to exercise their right
to vote and effect changes on the
political scene. “That’s a good
question. I don’t know what
they’ll do...I can’t predict what a
mixed bag of people like that is
going to do.”

lene Klinghoffer

May Vote
Like Parents

Ilene Klinghoffer, nineteen
year-old sophomore from New
York City, has registered to vote
and she has “enrolled in the
Democratic Party.” She was asked
if she felt she will vote along the
same lines as her parents. “Idon’t
feel any obligation to vote the
way they do, although I feel very
often I will.” Ilene has applied for
an absentee ballot and she is “still
thinking about whether I'd want
to régister to vote in Albany.
Sometimes I feel that I'd like to
(register here) but then Ido spend
a lot of time at home. Being on
this campus I’m separated from
the City of Albany. Maybe if the
campus had stronger ties with the
City of Albany I'd feel different-
ly.” Hene was asked if she thought
the newly registered youth would
vote and make a difference in the
political scene. “I’m not Louis
Harris, but I hope they vote and
exercise that right.”

Wants to Vote

In Hometown

Ruth Herman, 19, of South New ~

Berlin has registered to vote and
“I joined the Liberal party. I tried
to change because I wanted to

vote in the primary... and I’m
probably the only liberal in the _

county.” Ruth wants to vote in
her home town and believes of
18-21 year-old voters that “if they
vote they are capable of effecting
changes.”

Ruth Herman

Hopes for A
Good Turn Out

SUNYA student MarkKauffman

~ has enrolled as a Democrat. His

parents are Democrats also and he
feels that he will probably vote
along the same lines as they “but

_ by coincidence.” Mark didn’t ap-

ply for an Absentee Ballot as “I’ll
probably go home to vote. Now
that 18-21 year-olds have the right
to vote he hopes they will tum
out on election day. “I hope we
get enough to register and enough
to vote-then they (political situa-
tions) will change.

Mark Kauffman

Vote Here
‘Destroy Corning’

Holly Fitter wishes she could
vote in Albany, because, “Then
we could really destroy Corning.
That would be great.” Holly, 20,
and from Brooklyn has registered
as a Democrat so that she can vote
in the primaries. She hopes that
only college students will get out
and vote: “I don’t care about the
kids who are rotten conservatives.
They can go jump in a lake as far
as I'm concerned.””

Ray Villard

Don’t Latch
On to Party

Ray Villard, 21, a Rochester
native is a senior at SUNYA. He
has registered to vote and has
applied for an absentee ballot.
Ray is an independent as he
“doesn’t think it’s a good idea to
latch onto a party...it seems party
philosophies are always changing.
Problems I saw with my parents
is that they always vote along
party lines..,it’s best to remain
independent.” Ray hopes 18-21
year-olds will exercise their voting
right and he hopes “that it will
affect the way political leaders,
the president especially, will re-
spond to the way younger genera-
tion feels about things. It’s giving
more power to our generation. I
hope people aren’t going to just sit
back and say ‘I’m not going to
participate because it’s all rigged.’

Til Vote
As I Feel

Joseph Curry, a freshman from
Brooklyn has registered to vote
and is enrolled in the Democratic
Paity. His parents are also Demo-
crats but he says “I'll vote the
way I feel. For the best candidate,
not just the Democrat or the man
my parents vote for.” Joseph did
not apply for an Absentee Ballot
as he will “probably go home and
vote instead.” Asked if he felt he
should vote here in Albany or in
his hometown, Joseph replied “I
think in my hometown ‘cause
once I finish school I'll go home.-
..and the candidates elected there
are more important to me than
the candidates elected here.” He
also feels the new voter group will
exercise its right to vote “because
most of us are fed up with the
present administration, I’m look-
ing forward to the major election.
..We (18-21 year-olds) know how
important the vote can be since
we will be about 3 million strong.”

Edyce Menewitch,
from Valley Stream is a sopho-
more here and has registered to
vote and joined the Democratic
Party. Edyce was asked if she
would prefer to be enrolled in her
hometown or in Albany.
doesn’t make any difference, does
it? If it does I'd vote at home

..I’m interested in the politics |

there and the schools-I think I
might end up teaching.” Edyce
believes the newly enfranchised
voters will take advantage of their
right “...for the first two years,
Parents seem to get apathetic, I
assume young voters will fall into
the same rut. I hope not.”

Didn’t Register

Junior Ellen Wolslegel, 19, of
Kingston, N.Y. did not register to
vote “because I don’t really think
that the personal ballot means
anything... Voting now is like pick-
ing the least of two evils. There’s
really no choice and my personal
ballot doesn’t mean anything.”
Although Ellen will not be able to
vote, she feels her peers will exer-
cise their privilege to vote and
that “it probably will” have an
effect on the political scene. “It
opens up a new age group to
politicians so they have to change
their policies. It probably will be
the same old bull--I hope there
will be a change.”

Ellen Wolslegel

Senior Will Not Vote Like Parents

William Doscher is twenty-two
years old. A senior, his hometown
is Amsterdam and he has register-
ed to vote as a Democrat. William
was asked if he would vote along
the same lines as his parents. He
answered “No. Our views differ.
‘They are much more conservative
than I am politically.” Doscher
applied for an Absentee Ballot but
“T think I should vote here~I’m
more affected by elections here

He feels that if the new group of
young voters go to the polls on
election day they can effect politi-
cal changes but “whether they
will or not is another question.”

Students Should Vote at Home

Text By:

Tracey Egan

Glen von Nostitz

Sharon Douglas, 22, is an
enrolled Democrat in Syracuse.
She doesn’t know yet whether
she’ll be voting along the same
lines as her parents. She feels,
quite definitely, that students
should vote in their home towns.
Commenting on whether students
will exercise their right to vote,
she says, “Some of them will, but
I don’t think all of them will. Too
many think that there is too much
wrong.” She “hopes” that stu-
dents will be able to effect politi-
cal change.

Didn’t Know
The Deadline

Mark Miller, 21, says that he
never knew when the deadline was
for registering to vote. “No one
ever told me that there even was a
deadline.” On the question of
voting in Albany or his home-
town, he responded that “We're
just transients here, and if we have
the vote we'll be able to control
politics in this area. We don’t even
live here. But since I’m paying
rent, I feel that I should be able to
vote in Albany.” Mark felt that
students would exercise their right
to vote only in the big elections,
“like for president,” and he feels
that the student vote may be
enough to tip the balance in close
elections.

Mark Miller

Students Should Vote In Albany

Michelle Candib, 19, from Al-
bany, enrolled in the Democratic
Party because “I don’t care for
too many of the Republican can-
didates - particularly for the Presi-
dency, and I did want to vote in

the primaries.” She says she
would have preferred to be inde-
pendent, but then she wouldn’t
have been able to vote in the
primaries. Michelle claims that she
will “Definitely vote along the
same lines as my parents. We do
agree, fortunately.” She says that
students who go to school in
Albany should be able to vote
here since they live here most of
the year. She “hopes” that stu-
dents will participate in the elec-
tions, but she doesn’t think they'll
really be able to change things, or
at least, “Not as much as I would
like them to.” She points out that
there are just as many conserva-
tives among young people as there
are older people.

at Was The Question

Registered
Republican

Michael Anderson, 19, is from
Albany and has registered as a
Republican because he doesn’t
want to see the school board go
Democratic. He points out that
the authorities have discouraged
some students from registering: “I
know one person who has fulfilled
the residency requirement and
went to enroll, and they gave her
a really big runaround. They gave
some really insignificant reason to
keep her from registering.” Ander-
son doesn’t think many young
people will register because of all
the hassles involved and doesn’t
think that students will have
much effect in politics. He feels
that students should definitely be
able to vote in Albany: “The
whole concept of the campus is a
community. They’re here for the
most vital part of the year. They
get involved in community poli-
tics and I don’t see why they
shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

Roger Rotundo
Party May
Tie You Down

Roger Rotundo, 18, and’ from
Utica registered but did not enroll
in any particular party because he
didn’t want to be “tied down.”
On whether students should vote
in Albany he comments that it
“Shouldn’t make much differ-
ence where you are - you should
be able to vote in either Albany or
your hometown.” He claims that
the view that, “My one vote isn’t
going to make any difference” has
been contributing to the low num-
ber of students who register. He
feels that students can effect poli-
tical change, “Only if they all get
together, but I don’t think they
will.”

Editor’s Note

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week two ASP reporters and
two photographers went forth to discover if the average “podium
person” here at State had registered to vote as well as to find out
a few other facts about the latest group to be enfranchised,

Some Have
Been Hassled

Eileen Goodrich also cited ex-
amples of students being discour-
aged from registering, and says
that this is one reason why she
hasn’t registered herself. “My ex-
roommate got into a hassle when
she registered to vote because
they said she had to vote in her
home town, She’s been living here
for at least 10 months and she’s
really interested in things going on
here.” Eileen argues that students
should be able to vote in Albany:
“I'm just not into voting at home.
Idon’t know and don’t care about
who’s running.” Commenting on
whether young people will vote,
she says that, “I think the older
people areworried about us form-
ing a giant coalition and voting
against everybody - it’s ridiculous,
because you can’t even get every-
body to go to a concert together -
let alone vote together.” She feels
that students could make a differ-
ence in politics, but doesn’t feel
that it is likely to. Eileen is 18,
and is from a town near Buffalo
...“Not Attica”, she adds.

Eileen Goodrich

It’s All A
Waste of Time

A graduate student here, Jim
Kemna, has some very definite
views on registering. He says that
he hasn’t registered, “Because it’s
all a waste of time. Ever since the
“68 elections - ever since I saw
what happened then - I’ve realized
it’s nothing but a waste of time.”
He claims that, “You're not going
to be able to change anything. It’s
too controlled by machine people,
and the Republicans and Demo-
crats are equally bad. You’d have
to assassinate them all.” Kemna
feels that, “You have a toy in
voting at 18,” and he sums it all
up quite succinctly by saying, “I
really don’t care about anything
anymore.”

Jim Kemna

John Rodriquez
Didn’t Get
Around to It

John Rodriguez says that he just
didn’t get around to registering.
He feels that students should be
able to vote in Albany because
“It’s so much more convenient.”
He is pessimistic on the question
of participation: “I just don’t

think they'll get out and vote,”
and he feels that young people
will have no effect in polities.

Michael Smith

Intended to
Register But...

“I had intended to register Sat-
urday, but got hung up here in
Albany. I was going down to the
Bronx to do it.” This was the
reason given by Michael Smith,
21, for not registering. He should
be able to vote in Albany because
“T live off-campus” and he thinks
that some young people will vote,
but, he says, “From what I under-
stand, registration hasn’t been up
to expectations.” Students will be
able to effect political change
only “if all of them get out there
and vote.”

Keith Cramer
I Just
Didn’t Bother

Bighteen year-old freshman
Keith Cramer of Ballston Spa did
not register to vote. When_asked
why he did not register he said “I
don’t know. I just didn’t bother.”

Brian Quinn, the outstanding
freshman star on Coach Munsey’s
cross-country team missed the
course record at RPI Wednesday
by six seconds. His time for the

4.68 mile course was an excellent

Munsey, the entire team displayed
fine running and hung on to whip
tough RPI and strong Siena

Ruhanshagiza, top runner for
Siena, went out stride for stride
with Quinn, At the mile mark
Quinn and Ruhanshagiza turned
in a quick 4:44. “It was too fast a
start,” Quinn commented after
the win. Arnie Shell and Scott
Abercrombie, both of Albany, fol-
lowed for the first mile in an
impressive 4:54, and sandwiched
between them was an RPI runner.
Quinn broke away from his com-
petitor at the 2% mile mark and
went on to a 15:11 three mile
with the Siena harrier 16 seconds
behind. State’s Bill Sorel, Larry
Frederick (co-capt.), and Dennis
Hackett (co-capt.) were closing in
after the third place RPI runner,
until Hackett almost took him
toward the end of the race.

Quinn sprinted in to the finish
line followed by the enduring
Ruhanshagiza. Hackett captured
fourth, eigth was Frederick, ninth
was Sorel and eleventh was John
Koch. Albany beat RPI 33-39 in a
very close meet. Siena was too far
back.

The junior varsity ran equally
well, compiling a score of 26
against RPI’s junior team. Al-
bany’s Bob Elias ran first with a
18:53.6 for the 3:44 mile race. He
was followed by Bernard Tosky
(capt), Seth Ugelow (capt.), Joe
Riley, and Louis Cuevas.

coming Game Saturday, October
9. The Great Danes, 1-1, will be
seeking to rebound from a 41-21
loss at Rochester Tech. Niagara
was idle last week after opening
with losses to Hudson Valley and
Siena.

Albany coach Bob Ford, dis-
appointed in his team’s per-
formance at RIT, is contemplating
several changes. Probably new
starters include defensive tackle
Nick Conte (New Hartford), who
has recovered from a pre-season
injury; linebacker Arnie Will, a
Troy High graduate; and offensive
tackle Kleon Andreadis (Brook-
lyn).

Running star Bernie Boggs
(Ballston Lake), who suffered a
concussion the only time he car-
ried the ball at RIT, will be ready
at tailback. Joining him in the
backfield will be quarterback Bill
Flanagan (Bethpage), fullback
Lonnie Davis (Albany High), and
flanker Ernie Thomas (Ro-
chester), Bogg’s sub, freshman
Carvin Payne (Philip Schuyler, Al-

Kickers Beaten By Oneonta

by Bruce Maggin

The Albany Soccer team was
clobbered by Oneonta State 8-1,
in a game played last Wednesday.
Oneonta came in with a highly
touted team, with a record of 2-0.
The Danes were outclassed
throughout the game, as the Red
Dragons outshot them, 31-7.

Oneonta started its field day at
13:08 of the first quarter, when
Carlos Camacho took a pass from
Mario Bianchi and shot it home.
Four minutes later, Camacho
scored his second goal of the
game. Shortly afterwards a shot
by Oneonta was batted by Danes
goaltender John Thayer right on
to Bianchi, who then scored.

In the second quarter John
Prouix, of State, had a hard shot
at goal but it went wide. At
14:49, Berthier Bidos, of One-
conta, scored on a penalty kick.

In the second half Oneonta con-
tinued to rout, scoring four goals.
At 14:53 and at 18:12 Jidos
scored to give him the hat trick.
The Danes finally got on the
scoreboard in the closing seconds
of the quarter when Rich
Conant’s screen shot beat One-
onta’s goalie McBride.

In the fourth quarter, Bidos
scored his fourth goal of the
afternoon after taking a lead pass.
At 13:50, Al McKenzie scored the
final tally of the day.

The Danes are now 1-3, having
lost 3 in a row. Last Saturday,
Binghamton beat Albany 3-1. De-
meirios Michael scored the Danes
only goal. Tomorrow at 12 noon

caught four passes for 153 yards
and three touchdowns, including
scoring bursts of 63 and 75 yards.
Despite the long TD bombs, how-
ever, the Albany passing attack
continued to fizzle, as Flanagan
and Rick Petty (New York) com-
pleted just seven of 28.

The statistics were closer than
the score, as Albany ran seven
more plays from scrimmage and
had just 58 fewer total yards, A
major factor was the kicking
game. The Danes failed to execute
the punt three times and all three
led directly to RIT scores, A
fumble, a blocked kick, and the
punter’s knee touching the ground
cost Albany dearly.

The long play also hurt the
Danes, with RIT scoring on a
61-yard run the first play from
scrimmage and later completing
TD passes of 60 and 44 yards. The
Tigers were successful on six of
nine passing attempts for 147
yards and out-rushed the Danes
167-80.

Season statistical leaders for Al-
bany are receiver Williams with six
catches for 207 yards and three
touchdowns; Boggs and Davis, 92
yards rushing each; and Payne, an
average of 5.1 yards for 15 carries.

The passing has been woeful:
eleven completions in 39 attempts
for 28.2%.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1971

q by Steve Hirsch

The City of Albany, as all but the most innocent of freshmen
must know by now, has never been overly fond of its student
population. This is why I must say I was pleasantly surprised to
see that the Albany Symphony’s first regular concert of the year
is subtitled “A Salute to Students,” The program, including
Brahms Academic Festival Overture (which uses the famous
student song “Gaudeamus Igater” in its finale), the third
symphony of Robert Starer, of whom I blush to say I know less
than nothing, “Pithoprakta,” by Yannis Xenakis, a work com-
posed in 1954 that explores the possibilities. of similating
electronic sounds with conventional instruments, and Mendels-
sohn’s ever popular “Italian Symphony” will be given next
Saturday at the Palace Theatre, that great monument of faded
artificial grandeur.

Do I hear the mocking voices of students from Buffalo,
Rochester and New York City? The Albany Symphony? Am I
joking?

No sir. The Albany Symphony may not, like the N.Y.
Philharmonic, make the front cover of Newsweek, but for a city
the size of Albany it is an ensemble to be reckoned with. The
Albany Symphony has come a long way in recent years, and has
handled such difficult works as Stravinsky’s “Petrouchka” and
Hindemith’s “Concert Music for Strings, Brass and Percussion”
with expertise. Julius Hegyi is no Pierre Boulez, of course, but his
interpretations are often quite respectable. I’m looking forward
with anticipation to the symphony’s performance of Bartok’s
“Concerto for Orchestra.” I really believe the ASO is up to it. For a
dollar fifty for a student ticket, next Saturday’s performance is
quite a bargain.

SECOND ENDINGS: WMHT-FM is coming in April! Full time
classical music! Hosanna in Excelsis!

The N.Y. Philharmonic did make the cover of this week’s
Newsweek. It’s a good article on Boulez.

Miles Davis was forced to cancel
his scheduled appearance at the
Saratoga Performing Arts Center
Sunday night, due to the illness of
his pianist’s wife. That, plus the
cold and the rain of the evening,
cut the crowd down to a few
hundred, Those few hundred,
though, received a rare treat—a:
crisp, crackling performance by a
virtually unknown (in this coun-
try), English — band—Wishbone

Ash, When the Saratoga MC
brought the band on, calling them
the No. 1 jazz-rock group in
England and winner of two trade-
paper polls, I was somewhat
dubious. In that respect I still
am—Wishbone Ash is basically
an electric rock-and-roll band that
uses jazz shadings and colorings,
not a jazz-rock band. They are,
though, one monster of an electric
rock band. The sound is remin-
iscent of early Quicksilver—twin
leads on guitars, bass and drums,

The Subjective Filmgoer

“THE CONFORMIST:” A MULTI-LEVEL MASTERPIECE

by Robert Verini

Sunlight shooting through a for-
est of dead trees onto the snow-
covered ground, as an omen of
death.,.A fascist administrator
standing behind a huge desk cov-
ered with walnuts...rows upon
rows of stark white benches occu-
pied by the hopelessly insane...a
simple seascape canvas that dis-
solves into the sea itself...these are
just a few of the hundreds of
superb images that the eye is
treated to during The Conformist.
Director Bernardo Bertolucci and
his cinematographer Vittorio
Storaro, in their depiction of
Fascist Italy circa 1938, have
created an environment that is as
dazzlingly authentic as it is terri-
fying.

Furthermore, the film offers just
as much intellectually as it does
visually. The would-be “Confor-
mist” is Marcello, whose tortured
past—a promiscuous mother; a
father turned insane through
syphilis; a homosexual seduction
at age thirteen— forces him to
seek a life of “normalcy.” To do
this he is compelled to join
Mussolini’s Secret Police, and to
z accept a “contract” on a former

beloved professor of his from col-
lege. But his humanity intervenes;
and when the war ends and
Mussolini is deposed, he is once
again the outsider, the misfit. The
film works on many, many levels
as an essentially corrupt society
takes its toll on what might have
been a decent man.

The Conformist combines all its
elements—poetic as well as sharply
realistic—into a unified whole of
staggering power. The story—
based upon Alberto Moravia’s
novel—begins slowly and perhaps
confusedly. But gradually we are
swept up into the tragedy of this
poor man, and swept up so co!
pletely that the last twenty min-
utes are as gut-crunching as any
climax you are likely to see. It is
impossible to completely and ac-
curately describe the cumulative
effect— it must simply be seen.
And seen again. And studied and
discussed and pondered.

‘The night I saw it at the Dela-
ware, a Friday as a matter of fact,
there were no more than fifty
people in the audience. If there
are only fifty in the other audi-
ences this weekend, let one of
them be you.

but the tightness and precision
with which the music is per-
formed was stunning. No sloppi-
néss, no mistakes at all. Guitarist
Ted Turner, who took lead for
most of the show, plays in a
manner reminiscent of the Jimmy
Page of years ago — late Yard-
birds, but sooo precise. Drummer
Steve Upton is a monster—
ferocious, powerful, and driving
yet lean, spare, and again, precise.
Bassist Martin Turner provided
the visual excitement and played
well at times but appeared to be
having trouble with his amplifier
for most of the evening.

Ted, Martin, and guitarist Andy
Powell all took a crack at the
vocals, and all acquitted them-
selves extremely well. The sound
balance, by the bye, was ex-
cellent, The lyrics were clearly
projected—something . very
portant for a band whose material
(original) is largely unfamiliar.
During their monster-jam number,
the “Phoenix”, Ted ran out of
original ideas midway through,
and resorted to shifting octaves
and turning the volume (already
loud) up another notch, marring
an otherwise perfect set. For new-
comers, though, they were ex-
cellent.

The audience loved them and
hauled them back for three en-
cores. The final encore was a
smasher — “Whiskey Lady.”
Andy Powell led with a strong,
lyric, somehow Celtic set of riffs
that put anything Martin Barre of
Jethro Tull has ever done to
shame and Turner unleashed some
really gorgeous, thundering chords
to back Andy. Before the adoring
audience finally let them go they
promised to return to Saratoga on
their next American tour. If you
miss them next time...

Nick Brignola had to follow that
act and just couldn’t. He played
rather well and the audience en-
joyed his performance, responding
politely, but he just couldn’t
match Wishbone Ash’s intensity.
His band has changed somewhat
since last year—Don York is still
with him but he now has a new
bassist, a singer- guitarist per-
cussionist in Bill White, and a new
drummer in George Leary (for-
merly with Whitney Sunday, a
local band). White is a jazz singer
who just might become an inter-
esting part of the band in due
time, but he isn’t there yet. As a
guitarist, he was inaudible. The
bassist is competent but Leary is
not. He displayed a number of
interesting techniques, but he had
no clear ideas when to do what
and he made an embarrassing
number of mistakes. Keep trying,
Nick.

‘Happy Day’

by Michele Ann Kantor

Last Monday night found me
happily departing the confines of
the campus and hitting the city
(Albany) for the late show of
“Jesus Christ, Superstar” at the
Palace Theatre.

The Palace Theatre is a real
old-time popcorn movie house,
with its elaborate interior archi-
tecture, muted yellow lighting,
and the unmistakable aura of for-
mer grandeur.

With the late show starting at
10:00, the place was quite nearly
deserted at 9:30. And, it remained
relatively empty. I heard that the
early show “packed them in”
much better. However, a Monday
night with a football game on
television, and tickets at $4, $5,
and $6, may very well serve as a
great deterrent to a lot of SUNY
people venturing out. By the time
the show started, the audience
consisted of a degree of middle-
aged businessmen and their wives
as well as we scraggly-haired col-
lege kids.

I think I found myself being
very open and aware of all that
was about to take place on stage
as 10:00 approached. The curtain
was up, and as the audience en-
tered, the orchestra and band ran
through a few final. musical as-
pects and some of the singers
warmed up with them. All this
was casual, relaxed, informal in a
real friendly way. The musicians

were all in their shirt sleeves and
might even have come out with
their plastic coffee containers in
hand; almost like a private perfor-
mance. Perhaps it was not what I
was expecting. Perhaps I anti
pated a Broadway musical with
elaborate costuming, revolving
sets three-dimensional back-drops

of the Holy Land, and a cast of
thousands of extras to represent

Christ’s followers.

However, with the versatility of
the chorus, plus the three leads,
the cast was complete and ful-
filled the roles demanded of them
with the utmost skill and some
truly superior singing talent. The
voices were powerful, all with
great range, yet all with a certain
mellowness and richness of tone.
Someone who went to both shows
said they were even stronger at
the early show. Patrick Jude was
particularly admirable as Judas, a
role which requires strenuous

voice manipulation and sheer vo-

cal stamina, However, I think his
attempts at acting (facial ex-
pressions, etc.) were unsuccessful
and unappealing. Mary Magdalene
(with a shag haircut?!) was played
by Edie Walker who reminded me
of Liza Minnelli somehow, only
better, Robert Croff as Jesus was
traditionally blond and bearded,
which was unexpected, but unim-

portant when eclipsed by his sing-
ing voice.

The chorus members shall 1
main unnamed here, but not un-
recognized, Under Stanley Lebow-
sky’s expert direction, they pro-
duced sounds worthy of any class-
ical-type opera group, and they
were on stage continuously, play-
ing all the roles: Pontius Pilate,
King Herod, the Disciples, etc. I
did catch the name of Reggie
Mack because of his soulful rendi-
tion of the King Herod song and
his slapstick dancing accompany-
ing it.

At Palace

Being relatively unfamiliar with
“Superstar” (although we used
the music in our high school Sing
last year), I cannot successfully
compare the live show to the
album, However, there is always a
certain esthetic satisfaction in see-
ing a live show, and of course, the
sound level is so many decibels
higher.

The interpretation here seemed
to portray Jesus as a man disillu-
sioned with his life, yet ego-
tripping on his own popularity,
Possibly at times almost scornful
of his followers. Does this corres-
pond with the Bible story? Is this
entire show “offensive” in some
way to the devoutly religious? I
am sure that Life or Newsweek
magazine must have at one time
called “Jesus Christ, Superstar”
something like “a reverant rock
opera” or “a new slant on an old
story.” I’d have to agree. It is
inconceivable that Jesus Christ
ever held a microphone or anyone
ever said, “Hey J.C., you're all
right by me,” but that only en-
hances and updates the beauty of
the story, and the fantastic An-
drew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
music has a dynamic and powerful
hypnotic effect, almost _spell-

ing.

Seeing “Jesus Christ, Superstar”
is an experience requiring involve-
ment and an openness. Monday
night’s Palace Theatre crowd came
and left with the good feelings
aroused in them by just such
awareness.

Happiness Is
A Nude Dorm

by Steve Dickinson
An ASP Column
In view of the response so far to
the 4 plus 2 experiment \, it is
evident that more thinking and
planning along these same lines
would be valuable. To be part of a
‘warm community in the midst of
sterile architecture and cold
bureaucracy is something most, if
not all, students would strive
toward. However, just forming
more 4 plus 2’s would merely
institutionalize one alternative,
admittedly a good one, but would
ignore all the other possible alter-

natives, Not all community-
minded students think along the
same lines as 4 plus 2, and alterna-
tives should be formed to try and
meet the needs and desires of as
many students as possible. As
ideas for alternatives come up
they should be examined by
LAAG, and, if at all feasible,
actively promoted.

“All right,” you say, “What’s
this dude’s idea?” Nudity. No
shit. If a sense of community is
desired, if group-warmth is de-
sired, if a sense of freedom is
desired, then a nude dorm might
be the answer for some. When
clothes are shed, so too are many
masks that we daily project and
guard jealously, There are few
pretentions possible in a nude
community — good clothes count
for nothing, and no one’s nude
body is so much more ugly or
beautiful than anyone elses, After
a while, when the novelty of nude
flesh surrounding you has passed,
it is no longer noticed. But the
sense of freedom is still there. The
sense of basic equality still pre-
vails. And it’s just so much more
comfortable than dealing with
constricting bras or belts.

Body modesty is just another
culturally-imposed convention, in-
timately tied up with the belief
that the body is evil, that it is the
source of all sin, and therefore
should be hidden, To reject this is
to move closer toward a clear-
headed, responsible, free society.

As to the limits of the law on
nude dorms, I don’t know. This is
basically a matter for LAAC to
investigate.

The objections that will be
raised to nude dorms will be
basically the same raised against
alcohol in the dorms and coed
living. They proved to be baseless
in the past, and I suspect they will
in this case, too.

I’m not an organization freak,
and I’m not proposing a Nude
Students League, or any shit like
that. If someone else wants to,
fine. I just thought I’d present this
idea to the student community; if
you come up with other ideas for
the student community dorms,
tell LAAC about it, and maybe
spread it around. If anyone else
would like to see a nude com-
munity formed, contact LAAC
and tell them, and maybe call me
and we'll rap about it. My phone
number’s in the directory,

THE

Italians, Demand Your Rights

by Roberto Discipio
An ASP Column

We Italian-Americans have long watched other
minority groups vociferously demand their rights,
gain many privileges and respect. We may have
complained among ourselves but seldom in public
until recently. Our position in this country, never
good, has tended to deteriorate. While our middle
class is pulverized, sterilized, and homogenized into
the “great melting pot” myth, our working class
brothers in the urban ghettos face mounting socio-
economic problems, In New York City, with
1,500,000 Italo-Americans, Italians have the second
highest drop-out rate in the city’s public school
system and the highest rate of whate ethnic drug
addiction. According to an article in the New York
Times (Aug. 30, 1971), none of the 93 high school
principals in the city are Italian; we are totally
unrepresented on the Board of Education and Board
of Examiners, In addition, none of City University
of New York’s 20 college presidents are Italian nor
in the state system do we hold such titles.

Meanwhile, the Italian language is being phased
out of the high schools and students are discouraged
from studying their paternal language. Biased cou-
selors call Italian “unimportant today.” and a
“fisherman’s language.” How can the language of
over 60 million people, a grea literary and cultural
language and the language of the seventh industrial
power be unimportant? Italian contributions to
American are often ignored, while those of other
groups are mentioned in social studies. Add to this
that some teachers refer to little Italian children as
“mafia children” and the damage done by these
bigots is clear. Italian children who view the racist
mass media can only have a very poor self-image.
Stigmatized as we are as gangsters, mafiosi, fruit
peddlers, organ grinders, Latin lovers and fat mamas
by Hollywood and the T.V., the psychological
damage of this cultural genocide is tremendous.
While every other group has finally made it to saints
and heroes, we're still the “hoods.” It seems
everyone forgets the pirates, Bonnie and Clyde,
John Dillenger, the robber barons (Rockerfeller,

Carnegies, Vanderbilis, etc.), “Dutch” Schultz,
“Legs” Diamond, Arnold Rothstein, Bugs Moran,
Meyer Lansky, Richard Speck, Charles Mandson and
the Hudson County Eight. Organized crime is as
American as apple pie. “Mafia” is the term that
racists, the F.B.I. and the press use to inflame
hatred against Italians and lend an exotic aura of an
alien criminal conspiracy to build. hysteria in a
xenophobic public.

While the news media is busy reporting the
sensational aspects of crime among Italo-Americans,
problems mount and limosine liberal hearts sudden-
ly stop bleeding. Italian welfare recipients in the
City are up 16% in the past two years (blacks and
Puerto Ricans are up 10%); old age benfits are up
87.3% in two years! Poverty agéncies ignore Italian
neighborhoods and problems. Italians have one U.S.
Senator (Pastore), only one ambassador and never
had a man on the Supreme Court. Our history in
this country is totally muted.

How many people realize that Italians were once
segregated in some Southern schools as “non-
whites” or murdered, lynched, and shot by Nordic
supremacists all over the country from 1874 to
1915?What of Sacco and Vanzetti and the racist
anti-Mediterranean immigration laws until 1965?

In face of all this and much more (from F.B.1.
raids on the sacred festa of San Gennaro to the
forced removal of Italian communities in Corona,
New York and Boston’s West End), the ghettos of
Little Italy have finally exploded. Risorgimento!
Italians poured from the ghettos to protest massive-
ly against the F.B., the movie czars, the news
media, the court system and the Board of Educa-
tion, No longer will we tolerate second-class citizen-
ship, defamation, discrimination, and harrassment
of our people. It is time that our middle class
brothers caught in the schizophrenia of class and
ethnicity, recognize their role in the movement,

Here at SUNYA why do other ethnic groups have
study programs and we have none though we are the
largest ethnic group in the state?Why isn’t money

alloted to us for cultural pro-
grams, speakers, and festas as it is
to other minorties? And why is
Columbus Day not a holiday,
though it is a legal and national
holiday now? Why in a state
where church and state are
separate (supposedly) all manner
of religious holidays are honored
and this ethnic and legal one not?
It is’ time for Italian brothers
and sisters to come together and
demand what is ous by every
right. Paisani, avanti! Viva la
Causa Nostra!

Meditation May Be
The Answer

by Andy Palley
An ASP Feature

There are many concepts and
beliefs which Modern American
Man will not buy. Some ideas are
rightly suspect— our 200 year-old
fear of government is constantly
proving useful and correct in light
of the growing number of both
leftist and rightist dictatorships.
So, our disbelief in government is
good— but we also disbelieve in Uto-
pia. Is this contradictory?No, for

we all know that there is no such
thing as Utopia, a Greek word
maning “nowhere.” We are hard-
ened by this belief and, although
we strive for greater happiness, we
know that we will never reach
pure happiness.

And here is Jerry Jarvis coming
up to SUNYA to tell us that he
knows the way and that for $35
we can get there in one week or
so. And not by a new system of
government (or lack of one), but
by a formerly inert mental proper-
ty contained within each of us.

As usual, I was skeptical, but
curious, As with all formulae for
Elysium, it demands checking out
before the incriminations begin.
However, I had not gotten but
two feet in the door when I was
handed a scientifically written
pamphlet describing how Trans-

cendental Meditation affects the
basal metabolism rate about 20%.
It seems that the body is half
asleep, but the mind is fully con-
scious and able to respond to
stimuli— in other words, a fourth
state of consciousness (waking,
dreaming, and deep sleep being
the other three), There seems to
be nothing unbelievable about it,
so the lecture continues. Mr.
Jarvis’s group began at Berkeley
in 1966, and has spread rapidly
around the world in the short
span of fve years. There are 1,000

qualified teachers of TM in the
country (7 in Albany, most at
SUNY), and more are being
trained. The movement is ex-
tremely honest and above board,
and has no political affiliation.
And, according to students I have
interviewed who participate in
TM, it works. Simple as that.

Technically, TM is the process
by which we establish contact
with all parts of our mind and
focus on the centers of basic
thought, rather than the outer
stimuli or superficial phenomena
associated with everyday mental
activity. The state during which
TM takes place is described by
SIMS (Students International
Meditation Society— locally, box
1062-AA SUNYA) as “restful a-
lertness, ” an physically and.men-
tally refreshing pause from life.
Twice a day, for 15 minute spans,
is the formula for total “bliss,” as
they call it. The technique is
acquired during a series of seven
steps, ranging from the initial in-
troduction through individualized
teaching, to a series of final meet-
ings during which its effects are
assessed.

Personally, my opinion of TM
has changed from one of “pure
hokum” to “if I had 35 clams,
T’d....” Please check it out. I
doubt if I have been completely
fooled by a bunch of quacks,
‘Their evidence is amazingly logical
and precise. And finally, TM peo-
ple think that the answer to Fu-

We hear much discussion about
how it is everything from drugs,
the Revolution, the Movement to
rotten dorm food that binds stu-
dents together.

Not true. There is one thing that
binds all students all over the
country— all over the world—
together.

Their parents.

There usually are two of them
per student. Some students have
more, or less; but usually each
student is blessed with two. And
it’s not easy for us to forget them,

The first letter comes a day after
you’ve arrived, taped to the out-
side of a large package,

“Dear Son, Enclosed with this
letter is a year’s supply of vita-
mins so that you shouldn’t get a
deficiency.” And the letters are
always signed Your Mother so you
shouldn’t think it’s someone else’s
mother who’s sending you vita-
mins.

For the first few weeks of col-
lege, the letters arrive dailv at the
dorm. Then the phone calls start

coming.
“Hello, Marvin? This is your
mother,”
“Oh, hi,Ma.”

“Don’t ‘Hi, Ma’ me. Marvin, do
you know how much this phone
call is costing me?”

“Ma, you didn’t have to—”

“Marvin, I know what’s going
on. I know. I saw the 6 o’clock
news tonight. I saw you sitting in
the president’s office with that
bunch of roughnecks. I saw you
smoking his cigarettes and drinking
his sherry.”

“Ma”

“Marvin, I saw. I saw it all.”

“But, Ma—”

“Marvin, I want you to know —
and I don’t want you to feel the
least bit guilty— but you've let
your father and I down terribly—”

“Ma!”

“I didn’t know. I didn’t know.
This is why we sent you away to
that fancy-shmancy $4,000 a year

and I are very disappointed that
you're, that you’re—”

“That I’m what, Ma?

“That you're smoking cigarettes
and drinking sherry. You prom-
ised you wouldn’t, Marvin.”

“But, Ma, I”

very nice on the TV, Maybe you
should go into the television
field...”

“Ma.”

“So who was that girl you were
ith? You never told your mother

with?
apout ner,

And on and on it goes, your
Mother, having only your best
interests at heart. Of course.

And then there’s that evening
you call home “just to talk” and
your mother’s out and you at-
tempt to talk to your father and
mention that you're changing
your major,

“Dad?”

“Yes, Son.” (He calls you Son
so that you shouldn’t forget.)

“I’m changing my major from
Pre-Med to Humanities,”

“To Humanities?

“Yeah,”

“What are you going to do—
open up a Humanities store?

But worse than the letters,
worse than the phone calls, are
the Vacations. There usually are
three or four a year. You come
back home exhausted from cram-
ming hard after week-long exams,
tired from having led such a
staunch, clean-cut, moral college

life, wiped out from those post-
finals parties. You return home
looking tired and worn out, ready
to go back to your old room and
faint.

As you walk in the door, your
mother pulls out an old copy of
the National Observer.

“See, Al,” she says to your
father. “I was right.”

Your father tucks in his under-
shirt and takes a deep breath.

“What’s all this about? you ask
weakly.

“Marvin, your eyes are blood-
shot,” your mother says.

“I haven’t slept much—exams.”
“And I detect a drastic change
in your personality,”

“Mom— I’m exhausted.”

“And you've lost weight.” she
says, reading from the paper as
she nods and sighs. “And you're
wearing a long-sleeved shirt. I-
knew-it.””

“Mom, It’s ten below out.”

“J knew it. Al, I knew it. I was
right all along. The boy,” she says,
ignoring you, turning to your
father, “is On Drugs. Any minute,
the narcotics men will be here to
take you away, to ruin all the
pleasure of our vacation with

you.”
Student protests really have

nothing to do with the college
campus. Student Protests are what
take place when college students
come home for vacation.

But parents try. As Marvin is
about to leave his home and re-
turn to college, lugging his water
pipe, wearing a sweatshirt with a
clenched fist printed on it, his
mother is still wondering about
those long-sleeved shirts.

‘And, as Marvin walks out of the
house, his parents call after him.

“Marvin, don’t forget...”

Marvin smiles, clutches his um-
bilical cord, and mutters some-
thing to himself about The Cat’s
Meow. And then he goes off to
college.
