Mayor Defends Tobin

by Neill E. Shanahan

Excerpts of ASP’s interview with Mayor Corning
appear on page eight.

Mayor Erastus Corning defended Tobin Packing Company Thursday
and said that the alleged polluter is ‘doing everything that the
present state of technology will permit them to do” to correct the
dumpage of waste materials into Patroon Creek.

The major charged that numerous other organizations are equally
responsible for the pollution of Patroon Creek as Tobin’s and cited
SUNY Albany, Killip Launderers and Dry Cleaners and Normanskill
Septic Tank Cleaners. He also claimed that Manning Paper Company
of Green Island produces ‘“‘over half the entire amount of industrial
pollution that goes into the Hudson River.”

With the projected completion of the Patroon Creek Intercept and
the Albany Sewage Treatment plants in 1972, the mayor said, all
pollutors cited “will be completely in keeping with the rules and
regulations on water standards for both Patroon Creek and the
Hudson River.” a

In effect, therefore, Mayor Corning claimed that all the pollutors in
Albany County — whose total pollution has caused the State Health
Department to list Albany as a “major” polluter — are doing their
utmost to correct the situation and that the city is doing its utmost as
well. ‘

The mayor made his comments in an interview requested by him
with the Albany Student Press and WSUA. Following the publication
+f the allegations against Tobin in the November 3rd issue of the
ASP, the mayor had let it be known that he wished to present his side
of the story. 1

Mayor Corning stated that all organizations responsible for the
pollution had agreed to join the Albany sewage treatment project
when completed, and he charged that, as a result, the proposed
boycott against Tobin was “entirely unfair.”

He acknowledged, however, that plans for the two sewage
treatment plants have not yet been approved by the state and federal
government and that the city “couldn’t do a thing until that review is
complete.” He admitted as well that state authorities had not yet been
approached on the matter of fees involved in connecting Albany
State’s sewerage with the proposed county system.

Of Tobin, Mayor Corning said,‘They are recapturing their fats,
taking out solids, they are providing some preliminary treatment
before waste goes into the Patroon Creek. They are doing everything
that the present state of technology would permit them to do.”

The New York State Health Department has charged Tobin with
being the second worst polluter in the Albany Area. Asked to explain

An investigation conducted by this newspaper
during the past week has shown that Albany State
University dumps thousands of gallons of untreated,
raw sewage into Patroon Creek and the Hudson
River daily. The action is in direct violation of
Article 12 of the Public Health Law.

Mr. Weist, the Regional Water Pollution Control
Engineer for the Albany region was unable to give a
specific estimate of the amount of sewage involved.
“But you can make a crude estimate of 50 gallons
of sewage per person per day,” he told this reporter.
And after considering the amount of garbage and
sewage produced by the cafeterias, residence halls,
and toilets on campus, he stated: “I would say the
amount is pretty well up there.”

Thus Albany State finds itself a prime polluter of
Patroon Creek and the Hudson River. This places it
on a par with other major polluters in the Albany
area - including Tobin’s.

The investigation involved interviews with Mayor
Erastus Corning, civil engineers, and officials of
both the Albany County and New York State
Health Departments. The extent of the pollution
problem and the university’s role in it came to light
only after Mayor Corning telephoned President
Louis Benezet last week, reacting to an article on
Patroon Creek which appeared in the “Albany
Student Press.” The article detailed the role Tobin’s
Meatpacking Company plays in polluting the Creek.

Corning stated that the university also playes a
major role in the destruction of the waterway.
Benezet reacted by appointing Plant Supervisor
John Buckoff and Walter Tisdale to study the
problem and make a report to H. David Van Dyke
in the Community Relations Office. Tisdale is
responsible for campus planning.

A study of the maps of Albany County’s sewage
and drainage system conducted by this reporter
reveals that a sewer pipe carries all the sewage from
the north part of the campus (State and Colonial
Quads) into a manhole on the north side of
Washington Avenue. A pipe runs from this manhole
west into the City of Albany’s Patroon Creek Sewer
System, which leads directly into Patroon Creek,
west of Russell Road. The “creek,” which more
closely resembles a floating drainage ditch, empties
into the Hudson.

‘The sewage from the southern part of the campus
is carried through a twelve inch sewer pipe into the
system of the New York State Office Campus
complex. From there, it moves into a manhole on
Western Ave., opposite Pinehurst Avenue. Eventual-
ly this sewage is also dumped into the Hudson,
flowing past an inadequate waste treatment plant
that cannot handle the daily load.

The second barrier to lower prices in our facility, is lack of

Therefore there are no savings to pass on to the consumer.

correct the former we are participating in a national effort of
bookstores to induce the book publisher to raise the enforced

Navajo Food Fast
Organized by STB

by Harry Weiner

For the past three years, the
brothers of Sigma Tau Beta (STB)
have organized a food fast. They
have encouraged students on cam-
pus to give up their contract
dinners for one night so that Food
Service might donate the cost of
the meal to some worthwhile
charity. This Thursday night, No-
vember 19, the brothers are again
asking that we give up our meals.
The proceeds will go to one of our
nation’s most forgotten minority
groups, the American Indian.

All monies collected from this
year’s food fast will go towards
the creation of a Navajo Commu-
nity College in Arizona, Working

Bobby Cole, chairman of the

These lists will only be used to
give the chefs at the various Quads

allow Food Service to give more

Albany Restaurant Owner
Clashes with Students

by Bob Warner
News Editor

Cosimo, the proprietor of the
Italian Restaurant on Western
Avenue across the street from the
university, had confiscated a cus-
tomer’s wallet on the condition
that he pay $175, the amount
that Cosimo had lost on checks
over the past semester that had
not been paid. Cosimo had done
this because that customer and
two students beat a $4 check.
That took place on November 7,
Saturday night. The following is
the story according to Dan
Williams, a freshman, who became
the key person in the incident
with Cosimo, although he was not
with the three people who did not
pay the check,

As the three customers were
leaving Cosimo’s, the check un-
paid, about five people, bystand-
ers, employees of Cosimo’s, and
Cosimo himself chased the three
down the block. Only one person
was caught, and he paid the bill
upon demand. On his way out,
though, he met Cosimo and sev-
eral others who made the chase.
In the vestibule at the entrance,
the person was hit a few times on
his face with the palm of one
man. Then Cosimo took the stu-
dent aside, warned him that he
wouldn’t get off so easily, and

asked him for his ID.

Cosimo then seized the wallet
and demanded that he pay all of
Cosimo’s unpaid checks, which
came out to $175. Only on the
condition that the person pay the
money would he get his wallet
back. The student did not protest,
though, because he was too fright-
ened to argue while a few men
were’ surrounding him.

The three who had skipped pay-
ing the check went back to the
dorm on campus, and told a
friend, Dan Williams, about the
incident. Dan called Cosimo on
the phone, but the latter refused
to talk over the phone, but sug-
gested that Dan come in person if
he had any complaints, Therefore,
Dan went to Cosimo’s about 1:00
am. Sunday morning, only a
short time after the incident.

Cosimo told Dan to leave his
establishment, but Dan demanded
the wallet; he threatened to call
the police if Cosimo did not meet
his request. Cosimo refused to
hand back the wallet, and sub-
sequently, Dan called the police.
The Albany police, upon arrival,
told Dan that the incident was
none of his business and that
nothing could be done without
the three who had been impli-
cated. Dan then asked the police
to wait ten minutes for his
friends, which they agreed to do.

Dan asked Cosimo if he could
use the public telephone that was
in his restaurant. Cosimo denied
permission. The Albany police de-

fended the proprietor’s refusal,
but let Dan' use the phone any-
way. The officer talked to the
students over the phone and said
thatthe wallet could be picked up
the following afternnon,

Dan then asked the police if
Cosimo had broken the law.
Again, he was warned to mind his
own business, Therefore, Dan said
“It figures. Typical Albany
police.” No sooner said than
done, Dan was frisked, arrested,
and taken down by paddy wagon
to jail. The charge was public
intoxication; Dan had not been
intoxicated at that time, though.

Without being advised of his
rights, Dan was in jail. All his
things were taken, so he wouldn’t
hang himself. He had asked if he
could make a call. The reply was
“Later.” Dan never had a chance
to use the phone, however.

At 7:00 a.m. Sunday morning, a
few of Dan’s friends who had
found out what happened paid
the $10 bail for his release. The
trial was two hours later; Sandy
Rosenbloom, the Student Associ-
ation lawyer, was there to counsel
him. Rosenbloom advised Dan to
plead guilty, which he did. He was
uncondtionally discharged. If he
had pleaded not guilty, he would
have had to face Judge Tepedino.
Furthermore, he would have faced
insurmountable odds, because it
would have been his word against
the word of two policemen and
Cosimo.

Five Master Keys Stolen
From Indian Quad Office

by Larry Travis

Five master keys to the Indian
Quadrangle were reported missing
on Monday, November 9. The
keys were taken from a desk
drawer in the maintenance office.
The drawer was found to be pried
open. No evidence has been found
to suggest that the locked office
door had been tampered with,
therefore it has been assumed that
a faulty lock was responsible for
the access to the office. The theft
is presumed to have occurred Sat-
urday night, November 7.

A meeting of the Indian Quad
Association was called Monday
night, November 9, and a petition
was drafted with the intent of
alleviating the security problem.
The petition called for a rekeying
of the locks on Indian Quad and
an inerease in the security guards,
to total three guards twenty-four
hours a day.

Michael Freidman, dorm direc-
tor of the quad, succeeded in
procuring new locks for the two
inhabited halls. Residents must
now carry two keys because only
the suite doors have been rekeyed.

Central Council, in an unusually
brief session, ‘‘appropriated
$2,544.50 to the Athletic Advi-

the bill argued that the monies
from the surplus had to be spent
on athletics, anyway, therefore it
would be better to spend restrict-
ed funds than not at all. The
opponents, who were in the mi-
nority, said that Central Council,
at any rate, should retain its pow-
er over athletic expenditures, even
though its power has been eroded

‘over the past few years.

Council also, in the form of a bill,
urged the Administration to

a white ballot, which designates
wholehearted and unanimous as-
sent.

Although Council members, nor-

of being “ill-informed.” The state-
ment by the ASP, however, that
$69,000 has been spent by FSA
for the ‘maintenance and opera-
tion of the Mohawk and Dippikill
campuses” was taken directly
from page 4 of the 1969-70 FSA
audit. The confusion was probab-
ly caused by the fact that there
are two adjacent properties loca-
ted in Warrensburg: Camp Dippi-

the Glen House by FSA. The two

FOSUSTON

It has struck me that the features editor either has a strange sense of
humor or is a sadist; asking me to do an article on WFLY and WRPI is
tantamount to requesting Richard Nixon to write an objective essay
on the Vietcong. It was probably out of morbid curiousity that I

accepted.

I was told, “Students on this campus love to listen to music; they
wake, sleep, eat, study, rap, and God knows what else they do to it.
Find out what students might want to know about the programming
philosophy and operations of two of the most listened-to stations on

campus." So I hopped into “Obie’

” (a dumpy old Mercury) and took

off for Troywith pen between my toes and wife by my side.

Michael Sakellarides,
Asst. Program Director of WSUA

WFLY

When WFLY began operations
in 1948, their purpose was to
provide classical music without
profit, working only with
listener's contributions. By late
1968 and early 1969, WFLY,
owned by the Troy Record news-
paper, was losing money rapidly.
Up until that time WFLY was
considered th best classical pro-
grammer in the Capital District,
yet contributions from listeners
were insufficient to support sta-
tion operations. In the summer of
1969, the former WFLY program
director decided to move to an
easy-listening format, generally
called ““M.O.R.” in the industry
(“middle of the road”). This move
simply plunged WFLY into keener
competion with WROW, WGFM,
Wegtm, WDKC, and WABY.

With WFLY’s ratings down in
the dumps, former listeners ab-
horring the new format, and the
station still losing money, the
time was right for John Walker.

John Walker, graduated , from
RPI last year, hailing originally
from Long Island; he served WRPI
as program director from January
1968 to January 1969. Early last
summer Walker took over as pro-
gram director of WFLY. He plan-
ned on programming for a young
adult audience, ages 15 through
35, with the better music from
top 40, bona-fide oldies, and pop-
ular album cuts. He revolutionized
the WFLY format according to
the nationally proven ‘“Drake”
formula.

John Walker doesn’t particularly
like to have WFLY typed this
way, yet WFLY today will remind
anyone fr: e New York Met-
ropolitan of WOR-FM and
for good rea To understand
WOR and WFLY, and over 50
other stations in the United
States, we must diverge briefly to
Bill Drake.

Bill Drake is a popular music
programmer who is generally con-
sidered the most influentialman in
the industry today. Through his
consultant service,
Drake-Chenault, nine AM radio
stations and forty FM stations in
the biggest advertising markets
and throughout the country have
all their music, jingles,
commercials and news formats
programmed. Some of Drake’s
clients pay a feee that can exceed
$100,000 for this service. His pro-

gram ideas are psychologically
insidious, but consequently
always popular. Within a few

months after the inception of
Drake at WOR—FM in New York
City, WOR became the second-
most-listened-to station in the
area,

The format is successful because
Drake employs a crowd-pleasing
philosophy; his formula mixes less
raucous rock with the latest hits,
oldies with album cuts, slow cuts
with uptempo music, male with
female artists, and so on. Drake
programming is “tight.” It doesn’t
waste a second. The announcer
talks happily, confidently, but
tersely over the introduction of a
song, giving, basically, informa-
tion: time, temperature, ete, Each
record just barely ends when a
transitory @ capella (all voice)
jingle flows into the next song or
commercial. The formula is

Psychologically insidious because
the music becomes very uncon-
sciously predictable to the lis-
tener. For instance: a fast song is
coming to a close; a jingle starts
immediately; the singers might
sing “W—F—L—Y Stereo” quick-
ly, followed by “in Troy” slowly,
and the next song starts
immediately, and, of course, it is a
slow tune. In short, the jingle
gives away the tempo of the fol-
loving song, though the listener is
not conscious of his forekno-
wlede.

John Walker at WFLY did not
seek the services of Drake-
Chenault; he took their format,
adapted it to the Capital District’s
needs, and employed a few inno-
vations of his own, like “College
Calendar’? and carefully spaced
ten-minute newscasts. Recog-
nizing that albums are now more
popular than 45’s, Walker features
more album cuts and slightly less
gold and top 40 than most Drake
stations. ia 8 i

Walker continually seeks balance
in WFLY’s programming; he per-
sonally programs every song you
hear for balance. Old songs alter-
nate with new, male artists alter-
nate with female, fast songs al-
ternate with slow ones. The music
is not as “teeny-bopperish” as AM
stations, nor as “heavy” as WRPI.

Walker told me that he wants:
(1) listener involvement, a feeling
that the listener is part of the
station; and (2) to program just
what his audience wants to hear.
To facilitate this he established a
request line last month, along
with “Community” and “College”
Calendars. Any Capital District
non-profit high school or college
group may air their news of cam-
pus activities—concerts, meetings,
plays, rallies, sports events, or
movies—free on WFLY. In addi-
tion, Mr. Walker invites listeners’
comments and suggestions.

I told John that I first discov-
ered the new WFLY inadvertently
last summer, while dialing for
WRPI; WFLY is at 92.3 on the
dial, WRPI is at 91.5. John smiled
wryly and said, “We're quite
aware that it’s advantageous for us
to be neighbors; that’s how we get
many of our listeners.” Good
luck, neighbor!

WFLY—FM Stereo and WRPI--
FM Stereo work on two diverse
programming philosophies, each
suited to meet their needs. WFLY
is a commercial station, owned
and operated by the Troy Record
newspaper; frankly, their business
is make money through their
popularity and attraction to spon-
sors. WRPI is an activity sub-
sidized by the Student Union at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute;
frankly, station members want to
have a good time programming
music most appealing to students
at their school and throughout the
Capital District.
an engineering
school, and most students have a
very heavy academic load. Thus
the radio station serves as a release
for students, a source of diversion,
entertainment, or an outlet for
creativity and ideas.

And so what is heard over WRPI
and what goes on behind the
scenes is a result of a collective
effort on the patt of the staff,
with relatively few structures and
pragmatic or financial demands.

I talked with program directress,
Sheila Fields, as she did her Fri-
day evening show, and I realized
how differently the role of pro-
gram director was perceived at
WRPI in contrast to a commercial
station. Probably quite expectedly
for a student effort, the program
director is not perceived as a
person with absolute control.
With control comes conformity
and less creativity. Sheila
perceives her role as a peace-
keeper and coordinator.

Without any concretely
espoused radio philosophy to go
by we can probably understand
WRPI best by observing their cur-
rent format and deciphering its
character from that.

John Walker, program director, WFLY

WRPI

Sheila Fields explained that pro-
grams from 7 AM until 6 PM are
mildly controlled because daytime
personnel are not always as adept
at selecting music as the night-
time personalities. To insure unity
in programming and good selec-
tions of music, a music committee
of three or four people audition
albums constantly for appealing
songs with which they create a
format, list. From 700 to 900
albums are set aside for the day-
time format, and hundreds of
songs. from these albums are
placed on a, computerized. list
which, ideally, is rotated every
three days. In any event, daytime
personnel do select the individual
songs and the order in which they
are played by themselves. Their
only limitation is the several hun-
dred albums on format, not a very
serious limitation at all.

The personnel who take over the
air waves after 6 in the evening are
the tried and true performers at
WRPI. They included Marek, Pat
Pending, Steve Schreiber, dulia,
the Walrus, and other assorted
gentle creatures. Night-time peo-
ple generally are discouraged from
using any of the format material
from the daytime. ’Thisis to insure
diversity of music and greater
exposure of new releases,

With this introductory informa-
tion i proceeded to ask Miss
Fields some questions which had
been on my mind and the minds
of other State students who
Periodically tune to WRPI. First, I
asked her why the “Request Line
Oldies Show” on Sunday nights
was no longer being aired.

“When Rob (Bob Harris) Fried-
man and Jeff (Jay Douglas) Fogg
decided that they couldn’t handle
the show with their school and
professional radio demands, we
decided that the time could best
be served in a new jazz format.”
(Friedman works at WFLY and
Fogg works at WPTR.)

I moved on to the question of
“soul” music and black artists,
Pointing out the obvious deficien-
ey of black music on WRPI in
Proportion to black musical
contributions. My prejudice was
quite apparent when I boasted of
WSUA’s integrated program-
mming and “soul” and “Latin
soul” features on Friday night. In
Tesponse, Miss Fields simply said
that WRPI does play artists such
as Sly and the Family Stone,
Richie Havens, Miles Davis, and
Sonny Boy Williamson, to name a
few, and that the record compan-
ies don’t send much black music

...hoehberg

to the station. “Besides, there’s
been no interest in it here, until
recently.”

I moved on to the topic of news
coverage and service to the com-
munity. Miss Fields explained that
three to five minutes of news is
given on every hour (although
when challenged she admitted this
is not always true) and that at 6
PM there is a 15 minute news
round-up including sports, weath-
er, and stocks. “Pulse,” an inter-
view program, is a weekly feature
of the news department. And two
pu! ‘ic service announcements are
given each hour.

The present WRPI staff finds
nine of its members currently
working at local commercial tele-
vision and radio stations. Some-
times the commercial equipment
they find themselves working with
is inferior to or less sophistocated
than the equipment they worked
with at WRPI. In fact, there is an
overwhelmingly cheerful elitism
Present at WRPI. It isobviousboth
on-the-air and off.

nd
WSUA

After returning from the jour-
ney to Troy, I spoke with Joel
Lustig, program director of
WSUA, and learned how he react-
ed to what I had unearthed there.

Joel spoke candidly of WSUA’s
dilemma. “We have a problemfind-
ing enough talented people to do
this, and with all the production,
engineering, news and paperwork
we have to do we can’t afford the
luxury of having jocks who want
to do nothing but go on-the-air
for a few hours a week and then
leave the station until the follow-
ing week. We have another prob-
lem: AM transmission. You can’t
blame people for preferring to
listen to an FM'stationover us.”

‘Right now, we must look at
ourselves and realize that our
maximum potential is to serve
fifty-five hundred dorm-dwellers
twenty-four hours a day”

“Well,” I said, “what is WSUA’s
main priority?” To this Joel re-
plied, “To be the immediate stu-
dent source of the news which
affects their lives. Music is second.
We hope to achieve a satisfactory
balance.”

“Just one more thing,”
Joel.

“A radio station on campus
should try to involve students in
the vital and immediate social
issues in the community. WRPI
doesn’t do that at all.””

I had to reply, “Is that sour
grapes, my friend?”

“No, that’s food for thought,”
smugged Joel smilely.

Sunday’s Concert :
THE DEAD DEPART

by Jeff Burger

Sunday night was very strange. Jane, Bunny, and I arrived on time and ready to go. I remember that
clearly, sitting down in those folding chairs in the monster Washington Avenue Armory.

Then, the clear image of a loud A.M. radio dj announcing EUCLID, a local group. They sent out loud
sounds, and danced around on the stage, but sorry to say, it sounded to me like some stoned Hell’s Angels
doing a poor imitation of the DEAD and LED ZEPLIN. They carried a lot on volume but they were the
local band, and visions of Rolling Stones successes danced in their heads. Their songs were
indistinguishable from each other, and each took years to end. You kept thinking that they were finished
and that you were that much closer to the DEAD, but they weren’t and you weren't.

I spoke with the equipment man for the DEAD, and he promised to try and arrange an interview.

Then, finally, Pacific Gas and Electric. I’d seen them before, and I remember having a great time, but
that’s all I remembered. Same again. They were really tight, but no lasting impression. I do remember that
they played “‘Are You Ready?”.

Then someone walked to the
mike and said, “We're having elec-
trical problems and we have tc
clear the area. No reason for
panic, just evacuate; Come back in
an hour, and you won’t need
tickets.”

bomb scare. A lot of people pro-
ceeded to call impoverished
friends to tell them it was a free
concert.

When we returned, I again spoke
with the DEAD’s equipment man:

“The DEAD split for New
York.”

“Aren’t they gonna play?”

“Not with all this shit going on.
I watched them carry out the
equipment.”

It was midnight. On came
Buddy Miles. No announcement
yet.

I was waiting around, wondering
how the crowd would react. At
this point, I knew that they didn’t
know. Miles asked the audience to
get ready to go through big chan-
ges. “Here it comes’ I thought.
No, he played “Changes.”

As for his performance, what
can I say? You were there or you
weren't. Very simply, Buddy

Concert Band And Orchestra To Begin
New Concert Season This Week

Two concerts of particular inter-
est are scheduled at State this
week. On Wednesday and Satur-
day evenings, November 18 and
Nov. 21, the University Concert
Band will perform for the first
time under its new conductor,
Charles Boito, and on Sunday,
Nov. 22, the University— Com-
munity Symphony Orchestra will
be heard in its initial concert
under the direction of Nathan
Gottschalk.

Monday evening the Beethoven
Festival continues on campus with
a program in the Performing Arts
Center Recital Hall at 8:30. Par-
ticipating in the program, “Varia-
tions for Violin, Cello, and
Piano,” will be Findlay Cockrell,
John Goberman, Dennis
Helmrich, and Marvin
Morganstern, of the university’s
music department.

The Concert Band is composed of
about 65 students, only a few of
whom are music majors. From
biology to history majors, they
come together three times a week
for rehearsals and ensembles. Last
year the band performed to stand-

ing room only crowds at each of
its three concerts, including a
twin-night benefit concert that
raised nearly $1,000 for under-
privileged children in Albany.

Mr. Boito has had extensive musi-
cal experience at the University of
Southern California, in the West
Point Band, and as the assistanc
conductor of the Yale Band. He
will lead the SUNYA band in a
performance of works by Mendel-
ssohn, Rossini, Riegger, and Jo-
hann Strauss, as well as conduct
the University Wind Ensemble in a
composition by Richard Strauss.
The band concerts begin at 8:30.
They are open to the public at no
charge.

The orchestral concert of Beet-
hoven music will feature the Uni-
versity Singers will Karl Peterson,
conducting, and instrumental
soloists Stanley Hummel, Marvin
Morgenstern, and Findlay Cock-
rell, Selections will include “Eg-
mont Overture,” Romanze for Vi-
olin,” and “First Piano Concert.”
Under the baton of Dr.
Gottschalk for the first time, the
orchestra will begin the program
at 7:30 pm in the PAC Main

Concert Board Rejects
Jazz Club Goncert Proposals

A campus. jazz club, wishing to
work with Concert Board after
being refused separate recognition
by CPC under the direction of Sue
Levey who just happens to be a
member of Concert Board (a con-
flict of interest) met with Concert
Board Chairman Mike Glass, fac-
ulty advisor Dennis Elkin and
other members. Jazz Club was
promised the opportunity to have
a jazz concert on November 13.

Arrangements were made by
Jazz Club and explained to Flass.
Glass in turn held a Concert Board
meeting and quietly voted down
the concert without bothering to
inform those to whome he made
the broken promise, hoping to
stall time before they would react.

The rationale behind the veto
was even more absurd. They (CB)
felt thatbecause a concert by the
same man, Roland Kirk, was being

held at nearby Union College, this
would cause the SUNYA concert
to fail. Concert Board was immed-
iately notified that a change in
personnel could be made within
two days. They countered with
the following arguments and were
answered with the following res-
ponses from Jazz Club:

Voneert Board: Rock Concerts
within a week of jazz concerts
would decrease attendance of
both.

Jazz Club: Highly unlikely be-
cause there would be two differ-
ent groups of people in attendance
Also rock concerts would not be
affected because they are always
sold out and jazz concerts would
not be affected because anyone
who would make a choice would
choose a jazz concert because it is
such a rare event. It seems unlike-
ly someone could be unable to

ROLLING STONES Produce
The Finest In Live Albums

by Eric Graeber

GET YOUR YA-YA’S OUT!,
the Rolling Stones (London,
NPS-5)

It was a night to remember.
November 28, 1969. The Stones
were at Madison Square Garden
for the last of three concerts.

At 8 p.m, that night, we went
up the infinite number of escala-
tor stairs, thinking of the Blind
Faith fiasco at M.S.G. the pre-
vious Julv. Clapton, Baker, Grech,
and Winwood, the super group
whch was supposed to end all
super groups(but only resulted in
its own self-destruction) played
on a horrendous revolving stage
that hid the foursome behind ten
foot high amplifiers for half the
concert. In addition, the sound
system was putrid. We wondered
if even the magic of the Stones
could conquer the acoustic and
visual problems of an arena built
for hockey, basketball, and box-
ing.
The doubts grew as time passed.
The program started nearly an
hour late. But as Terry Reid came
‘on to open the show, one thing
became apparent: the amplifi-
cation was not to be a problem.
The Stones had the foresight to
bring their own sound system, and
the music was crisp and clear. The
Stones also sacrificed revenues for
4,000 seats so that the stage could
be placed on one side of the arena
and everyone could see well.

And, good omen! Even though
our seats were in the last row of
the upper stratosphere, we looked
down on the stage.

Terry Reid proved to be just a
distraction, like a mosquito buzz-
ing around your head as you try
to fall asleep. The music of B.B.
King and Ike and Tina Turner was
more appropriate, producing a
beautiful mood before the grand
entrance of the Stones.

Yes it all comes back after hear-
ing the new, live Stones album,
“Get your Ya-Ya’s Out!” Looking
through the binoculars and seeing
the Stones behind the stage as
they waited for the crowd to cool
down from the heat created by

Tina andthe Ikettes; the crowd in
a frenzy as Jagger in his Uncle
_Sam hat leapt into the air and the.
band started their set with a rous-
ing version of “Jumping Jack
Flash!; a 180 pound freckle-faced
teeny bopper rushing out of the
front row towards Jagger and the
latter ducking like Joe Namath
under therush of an opposing
lineman; Jagger on his knees,
slamming his gold studded belt
against the floor during “Midnight
Rambler” and moaning “Oh don’t
do that!”; Mick asking the audience
“Are you enjoying yourself?”
when the answer was self-evident;

Mick telling the audience
“Charlie's played well tonight!” as
Watts, the drummer grinned

sheepishly in embarrassment; and
finally the swaying and clapping
of the mob as the Stones played

“Street Fighting Man” and
the feeling that perhaps the revolu-
tion did have a chance.

The album has a few faults but
documents well the feeling of that
memorable night. The Stones have
never had a reputation for mixing
their albums well and this is no
exception. Jagger’s -voice is occa-
sionally hidden behind the roaring
guitars of Mick Taylor and Keith
Richard, and Bill Wyman’s bass is
almost non-existent, but well, as a
matter of fact, that’s the way it
sounded in concert also. I am
disappointed that the Stones
couldn’t squeeze in their excellent
versions of “Prodigal Man” and
“Under My Thumb.” But these
are only minor foibles of an over-
all masterpiece from one of the
greatest rock bands of our era.

Theatre and Theatre Council.

This British drama centers on
the death of a beautiful young girl
and the reactions of those who
felt they knew her. The small cast
which has brought these
characters to life is as follows:
Ron Abel, Mary Carney, Joseph
Geocco, Henry Kuivila, Richard
Leaming, Gary Maggio, Eric Pop-
pick, Barbara Richards, and Jodi
Wells.

The technical side of the
production has a new twist to a
State University Theatre produc-
tion. It is entirely student de-
signed. A movable, free-form,
changeable set has been designed
by William Snydier. The lighting
design has been done by Matt
Murphy. Rae Anne Crandall: has
designed and directed the produc-
tion of the costumes. Except for
Dr. Jarka Burian, the entire pro-
duction has been designed, built,
and performed by students.

Tickets for all performances are
now available at the PAC Box
Office between 11 a.m. and 4
p.m. The admission price is $1.00
for students with SUNYA tax
cards, and $2.00 for all others,

tion maybe obtained by phoning

afford the jazz concert because
the admission price would be $1

Concert Board: We can’t afford
the money.

Jazz Club: We are only asking
$700 most (if not all) of which
would be returned. Concert Board
spends more than that just for a
back-up group and maintenance
for rock concerts. Concert Board
will use in excess of $60,000 this
year. The comparison between
our $700 and $60,000 is stagger-
ing.

Concert Board: We cannot con-
cern ourselves as much (in terms
of time and money) for such a
small minority as you would like.

Jazz Club: The plan given them
would have taken little of their
time and money because those
proposing the plan (Jazz Club)
preferred to do the work them-
selves, and the money would be
returned by selling tickets.

Concert Board: There is not
enough time for planning a con-
cert,

Jazz Club: Concert Board has
brought this on themselves as a
result of their stalling techniques.
However, the second weekend in
December was also open and this
was mentioned. This was also re-
jected, but with no reason.

When all arguments were suc-
cessfully put down by Jazz Club
the Concert Board still said no.
Why? In the words of member
Sue Levey, ‘We are too tired and
irritable to put on another con-
cert.” All Concert Board members
agreed. No jazz concert.

So four people, all incidentally,
who are virtual xerox copies of
one another in their musical taste,
have repressed jazz. Yes, there was
Miles Davis concert handled poo-
rly: lousy publicity, ridiculous
acoustics, absurd off-campus pri-
ces. None of these self-anointed
experts knows the first thing
about jazz. But instead of making
reparations they told Jazz Club to
wait—this time until next semes-
ter—thus a continuance of their
let-them-eat- promises campaign.

So they continue, these four
all-powerful, all-knowing music
gurus, spending mammoth sums
of OUR money on who THEY
want to see. Something must be
done of course, but what?

TUESDAY, NOVEMBI

—excerpts

Interview

Readings taken of Patroon
Creek indicate that various types
of pollution are extremely severe
there — including thermal pollu-
tion, lack of dissolved oxygen,
excessive phosphate. What is be-
ing done to correct this situation?

They are recapturing their fats,
taking out the solids, they are
providing some preliminary treat-
ment before it goes into the Pat-
roon Creek — They are doing
everything that the present state
of technology would permit them
to do other than go into the
county sewage treatment plant
which is in its final stages of
design and some of the intercep-
tions are under construction.

Recent evidence collected by
private groups suggests that there
is a threat of typhoid from the
pollution and the rats in Patroon
Creek. Has this been investigated,
and if so what action is being
taken?

I don’t know whether it’s been
investigated or not. That would be
the perrogative of the Albany
County Health Department, I
don’t know whether its been pre-
sented to them, and if it was, I’m
sure it’s in the process of investi-

with Mayor Corning

The NYS Health Department
cited Tobins as the second worst
polluter in the Albany area — yet
in your letter to the Times-Union
dated July 29, you mentioned
that Tobins had made “‘a material
contribution to the Hudson Ri-
ver” — How do you explain this
conflict?

Well, the only thing that I can
say is that the State Health Dept.
that they were the second
worst polluter — if they hadn’t
done the things that they have
done, then they'd be far and away
the worst. In any event, I don’t
think that’s an accurate statement
— I think the Manning Paper
Company in Green Island pro-
duces over half the entire amount
of industrial pollution that goes
into the Hudson River and that of
course is also going to be treated
in the county sewer district treat-
ment plant.

as
hochberg

The sudden resurgence of go-
vernment activity to curb pollu-
tion is seen by many as an effort
to whitewash the failures in the
past. How long has your office
known of the pollution viola-
tions?

Well, as far as I’m concerned ,
T’ve always known it, ever since
T’ve been mayor - I've known
what has happened in this area
ever since I’ve been mayor. On the
other hand, there was no proper
way of enforcing these laws.

“Evidence has been collected to
the effect that Albany State is just
as bad a polluter of Patroon Creek
as Tobin or anyone else is. Does
your office have any information
as to just how bad the pollution is
from Albany State and, if so,
what is being done to correct this
situation?

No, there again the wastes that
are going from State University
into Patroon Creek are giong in by
gravity. They’re domestic wastes
from toilets, showers, kitchens,
things like that and, there again,
when the State University was
constructed and these towers were
built, this procedure that was fol-
lowed was recognized and pollut-
ing Patroon Creek and received
the clear understanding that this
was to be done.

I would like to point out one
thing as far as the city is con-
cerned. The city doesn’t have any
contron over the type of building
that the state does. So that is
something that is purely and simp-

the 23rd we're going out for bids
for the construction of the inter-
coptor and the bids will be taken
three weeks later which is about
the middle of December. 390 ca-
lendar days is the estimated time
for construction which would
bring that into early 1972.

On the two treatment plants —
on the Westerlo Island treatment
plant, we submitted the final con-
tract plans on that to the state
and federal governments in either
dune or July and on the North
one in August. They are being
reviewed by the state and federal
and we can’t do a single thing
until that review is completed.
We're ready to go the minute we
get the green light from the state
and federal governments.

The target date for the Albany
Intercept is in 1972 and yet in
this area it is estimated that at
best 670,000 gallons of waste are
being dumped into Patroon Creek.
If there is a threat of typhoid
particularly does this not raise
serious possibilities for the health
environment of the area?

I don’t think so. The question of
typhoid - I have no knowledge as
to how serious a threat it is - of
course there isn’t any question
that if there are any pollution
anyplace it is a threat of disease of
one sort or another - particularly
organic wastes such as this.

It has been charged that pollu-
ters are protected by the very
agencies that are supposed to pro-
tect the people. Thus, the Health
Department gave Tobins until
1972 to correct the situation and
it was rumored that the State
Attorney General's office would
not prosecute so as not to em-
barass the Health Department.

I don’t think this is any way or
attempt to embarass them - I
think the State Attorney General
and the State Health Department
realize that we've been polluting
the waters of this state for genera-
tions --we’ve been doing it for a
hell of a long time - we've been
doing it seriously I think since the
early 1800’s and to all o a sudden
say stop it’s not realistic to stop at
once, and when the Health Dept.
gave a deadline of a date, it gave
what it thought was a realistic
deadline - it gave that deadline to
cities, towns, and villages, univer-
sities, businesses - the whole crew.

this allegation, the mayor replied:

“T don’t think it is an accurate
statement — I think the Manning
Paper Company in Green Island
produces over half the entire
amount of industrial pollution —
and that of course is also going to
be treated in the county sewer
district treatment plant.

“I think that from where I sit
and from the conversations and
commitments I’ve had from the
Tobin Packing Company that
they've done everything that they
possible can to minimize the pol-
lution in the Patroon Creek and
Hudson River.”

Patroon Creek runs from the Six
Mile Reservoir through an indus-
trial area and into the Hudson
River. The mayor made no effort

lution that affects the stream.

“You can take practically any
area which slopes down to
Patroon Creek— anything that’s
on there goes into the Creek by
gravity and there isn’t a single bit
of it that is treated in any way,
shape or fashion — including a lot
of thing’, that come from outside
the ares..”

The New York State Health
Department and Attorney Gen-
eral’s Office gave Tobin until
1972 to correct their waste dis-
posal systems. Mayor Corning
commented upon this, saying that
“the state recognized this was a
realistic date — that it would not
be possible to build these facilities
until that time.” He called it “a
pretty fast date.”

The mayor called the scheduled

unrealistic” and argued against the
suit by PYE members against the
firm.

“I say to sue somebody because
they are presently polluting when
you know that they are doing
everything that they can to join
with the county I think is un-
realistic. I don’t think it does the
conservation program any good.”

The mayor said he is under
“absolutely no” pressure from
private business groups such as
Tobin to hold back on anti-
pollution efforts,

“The contrary would be more
true,” he said, “We met repeat-
edly with Tobin to see tagit that
everything is done in apple-pie
order as it could be so that we
have the thing done right and
quickly.”

SUNYA’s Sewage System

continued from page 1

So, it is only the portion of Albany State’s sewage
that flows through the south that is carried by a
closed sewer system. The other portion flows,
untreated, into an open waterway-Patroon Creek, in
violation of public health laws.

Walter Tisdale told this reporter that the Univer-
sity was aware that all of its sewage is dumped into
the Hudson, But he stated that: “It was an
assumption on our part that the sewers were closed
sewers.” In other words, the university officials
were not aware that any sewage was carried into
Patroon Creek.

This was so because John Buckoff’s maps showed
only the university-city sewage connections. The
full maps were available at the office of Charles
Fuga, a civil engineer in city hall. However, Mr.
Fuga stated that no university personnel had
checked with his office.

A further check with the New York State Health
Department reveals that the State University Con-
struction Fund did not check for possible alterna-
tives to current sewage disposal operations when the
university was being planned. According to Weist,
the engineer who was mentioned earlier, other state
agencies sometimes check with the State Health
Department for advice on waste disposal and pos-
sible pollution threats. Under a “‘gentlemen’s agree-
ment existing between the various state agencies,
the health department can recommend—but not
force compliance with — its suggested alternatives.
But the State University Construction Fund never
consulted with the Health Department. Instead, the
planners had the university tie into the existing city
sewage system.

Tisdale stated:‘‘As I see it, there wasn’t any advice
required,” since all of the sewage from Albany
County flows into the Hudson anyway. “There
could be no other place to put it,” he said.

Buckoff concurred, stating that holding the uni-
versity responsible for the problem was unreason-

able. “We're an occupant, not a municipality,” he
said. “The city (of Albany) should be charged with
the responsibility.”

No matter where the responsibility lies, the sewage
will continue to flow into Patroon Creek from the
university — and other polluters along its banks —
for quite some time, despite the fact that a law is
being violated.

Albany County is planning a series of interceptors
and waste treatment plants to purify the water as it
flows down the creek toward the Hudson. The
target date for completion, according to Mayor
Corning, is November, 1972. Until that time, it
appears unlikely any prosecutions will occur.

Under the Pure Waters Program set up by Gov-
ernor Rockefeller in 1965, the State Health Depart-
ment was given the responsibility to presecute
polluters or otherwise force them to comply with a
schedule for cleaning up the pollution.

In March, 1966, a report prepared by Malcolm
Pirnie Engineers entitled “Albany County Compre-
hensive Sewage Study” suggested that it would be
more economic for the polluters in this area to band
together and combat the pollution as a group. They
adopted this as policy.

“Since they have chosen group action and are
making progress,” said Weist, “no penalty action has
been taken.” He said that if cases of foot-dragging
occur, prosecutions will take place either through
the Health Department or the Attorney General’s
office.

So, even though the polluters (including Albany
State) are technically still at fault and the dumping
of sewage and waste continues unabated all parties
concerned are content to wait for the completion of
Albany County’s new waste treatment facilities.
Bids went out for construction late last week.

“It appears nothing is being done...but this is not
so,”said Thomas J. Quinn, director of Environ-
mental Health Services for the Albany County
Health Department. “Construction will start in a
couple of months...the municipalities and states
have few alternatives.”

The following is a memo from Maurice Glockner, City Engineer, to
Mayor Corning describing the sewerage system of SUNYA

The sanitary sewerage from the north half of the campus area is
carried by a twelve inch sewer pipe to a manhole on the north side
of Washington Avenue at number 1375. From this manhole it is
connected by a short length of twelve inch pipe running west and
connecting to MH no. 40 on the existing City Patroon Creek
Sewer, which re-enters Patroon Creek east of Russel Road.

The sanitary sewerage from the south half of the SUNY campus
area is carried by a twelve inch sewer pipe running east and
connecting to the sanitary sewer of the New York State Office
Campus System. The combined effluent from both campus areas
is carried by an eighteen inch pipe which discharges into a
manhole on the north side of Western Avenue opposite Pinehurst
Avenue. From this, it connects to the Beaverkill Trunk Sewer.

Concert Board Answers Back

by Mike Glass

This article is not to defend or
give excuses for the way concerts
are run, We who are involved with
concerts feel that it is about time
the truth behind the reasons
things are done in a certain way
should be stated for everyone to
know. Too many times the facts
have been twisted, changed, dis-
torted, or completely reversed,
and we feel it is about time to set
the record straight. Since it would
take a book to put down every-
thing about how a concert is run,
we decided to put this article into
a question and answer type set-up.

Q. Why can’t people be let into
the gym as they arrive, instead of
having to wait outside for one or
two hours?

A. When a group comes to do a
concert, they insist on at least two
hours of rehearsal time to set-up,
do a sound check and warm up.
Since the gym is a physical ed-
ucation building, it is impossible
to get into the gym to start setting
up before 6 PM the night of a
concert. Take about one hour to
set the stage, flooring, bleachers,
chairs, and lighting, plus the two
hours the groups require to set up,
and you can see why the doors
cannot open before 9 PM. In
order to keep people from waiting
on line for hours, we will be
pushing the starting time of con-
certs back to between 9 and 9:30
so we can let the people in on
time.

Q. Can’t anything be done about
the sound in the gym?

A. As we all know, the gym is far
from the ideal place to hold a
coneert, acoustically speaking.
Everything in it reflects sound,
and it really makes a group sound
bad. However, since it is the only
place on campus large enough to
hold most concerts, we are going
to have to make the best of a bad
situation. In order to help im-
prove the situation, we are taking
several steps. First of all, we have
just purchased $4000 worth of
the best sound equipment avail-
able. And secondly, we are now
looking into buying a baffle, or
drop, for the back wall, so the
sound won’t bounce around so
much. Both of these steps we
hope will improve the quality of
the sound immensely.

Q. Is something going to be done
to help keep the crowds in line
before the doors open?

Concert Board

A. This is probably the biggest
problem we've had all year, but
we are now taking some positive
steps to help correct it. From now
on there will be between seven
and ten ushers outside from ap-
proximately 6 PM on to help keep
the crowds in line. The lines will
be started a good 20 feet away
from the doors so there can’t be
any mad crush against them. The
ushers will let approximately 30
people in at a time to help allev-
iate the pushing and shoving. And
finally, there will be lines on both
sides of the gym so we can get the
people in twice as fast. However, I
think it is important to remember
that with a crowd of over 3000
people, seven to ten ushers can do
very little unless there is some
restraint on the part of the people
in line. If you don’t want to be
pushed, then don’t push yourself.
And if the person behind you is
pushing and shoving, then say
something instead of letting him
continue. Only if there is coopera-
tion from both the ushers and the
people on line will we be able to
keep order outside the gym.
Please help!!

Q. Why was an outside promoter
allowed to come on campus with
the Jefferson Airplane?

A. When the promoter first ap-
proached us with the idea, we
thought it was good because the
sudents would be getting a con-
cert that normally we could never
afford to bring to the campus.
Being that it was the first time we
ever had made an arrangement
with an outside promoter, we
made a lot of mistakes, and any-
one who worked on the concert
will be the first to admit it.
However, the students hardly end-
ed up on the short end of the
deal. Over 4500 of the 6000
people who attended were
SUNYA students. This is over
75% of the total, a good deal
more than for most of our own
concerts. We were also able to
obtain a $1.50 discount per ticket
for the first 3000 students who
bought tickets, the number who
usually attend one of our con-
certs, Mistakes were made, there is
no doubt about that, but we feel
that if an outside promoter can
provide high quality entertain-
ment that would not normally be
brought to this campus, and if it
can be done properly, then it is
definitely a service and benefit to
students, and should be done.

An ASP Column
Annul the Day Care Center?

by Dr. Morris Finder
School of Education

When the old-fashioned minister
admonished the wedding guests,
“Speak now, or forever hold your
peace,” he thereby made it clear
that the past of the bridal couple,
however flaming, was a closed
matter.

I cite this quaint folklore of the
rites of marriage because it bears
some contrast and similarity to
issues concerning our day care
center. Funds have been appro-
priated for it, construction has
begun, and so on. But as Debbie
Natanson’s article in the ASP
(November 10) indicates, the issue
is not closed. Nor should it be.

Unlike the past of the bridal
couple, the past of a university
must stand open to criticism, for a
review of an institutions’s past is
one means of assuring its more
enlightened future.

It may serve a turn, then, if I
present a brief discussion of this
question: Is this university justi-
fied in paying for the establish-
ment and maintenance of a day
care center?

I begin with the assumption that
our support of a day care center
or of anything else is justified if
such support is consistent with (1)
the purpose of the university, (2)
the principle of justice~that is,
with the practice of giving equal
treatment to equals and (3) the

“personal responsibility of adults,
which university students are.

(1) It is hard to show that
providing day care for young chil-
dren is a concern proper to a
university, which is intended for
teaching, research, and criticism.
If a university’s curricula and re-
search do include programs aimed
specifically at educating profes-
sionals in day care work, then the
needs of the program, not the
preceived needs of the students
who are parents, wot specify
the size, type, and facilities of the
center, and the characteristics of
the children to be cared for.

If the demands of some stu-
dent-parents become a cause of a
university’s making curricular uses
of a day care center, the univer-
sity then practices curriculum de-
velopment through coercion. Such
practice violates due process.

The argument in whichday care
is justified on grounds tht it is a
means of righting social injustice
is also inconsistent with the aims
of a university. A university does
not exist to rid a society of
injustice through direct social ac-
tion. One of its valued purposes,
however, is to study injustice and
to inquire into means for social
amelioration. Although anyone,
including members of a university,
must be free to advocate any
number of schemes for improving
the social order, the university as
a corporate body loses its legiti-
macy as a center of study and
criticism when it advocates a par-
ticular plan for social welfare.

(2) Within the university, all
students, I assume, are equals as
members of its community. A day
care center would make it conven-
ient for some (or all) students
who are parents to attend classes.
If these students are to be pro-
vided with day care service for
their children, then what of their
equals who are not parents or
whose children are too old for day
care? What similar provision will
the university make for them?
Would it provide such services as
household help, chauffeuring,
housepainting, gardening help and
the like? Those services would
indeed make it convenient for
students who cannot take advan-
tage of a university-funded day
care center to attend classes.
Briefly, a day care center pro-
vides conveniences to some stu-
dents. Comparable conveniences,
presumably, are denied others.
Therefore, the university’s sup-
port of day care is unjust because
equals are not treated equally.

(3) Parenthood implies the adult
responsibility of caring for one’s
children. Because the responsi-
bility belongs to parents, the uni-
versity should not assume it. If
the foregoing is accepted, then
student-parents are not justified in
attempting to compel a university
to support an enterprise for pro-
viding day care for their children.
And the university is notjustified
in encouraging its student-parents
to abdicate their parental respon-
sibility, which is perhaps the most
important one that they will ever
be privileged to assume.

If I am a student and I owe
Sears money it is my responsi-
bilty, not the university’s to pay
the bill. If I am a student and a
Parent, it ismyresponsibility, and
not the university’s, to care for
my children. The university has
no more obligation to pay for the
day care of my children than it
has to pay my bill at Sears.

In summary, I have suggested
that this university is not justified
in supporting a day care center
because such support is inconsist-
ent with the purpose of the uni-
versity, with the principle of jus-
tice, and with the responsibilities
expected of adults. This does not
imply that day care is an un-
worthy institution. Advocates of
it, it seems to me, should assume
the responsibility themselves.

The university and the day care
center, therefore, make a dubious

marriage. An annulment is in
order,

N.U.C.: A RADICAL
ALTERNATIVE

by Rita Riggione

Tucked away amidst the sand dunes, pine trees,
and complete tranquility of upper Perimeter Road
lie the halls of Adirondack and Cayuga, which
constitute the “NOW” of what shall some day be
known as Indian Quadrangle. To some, Indian
represents a figment of their imagination, a never-
never land drowned out with the roar of tractors
and hardhats which swarm around it each day. But
to the 216 braves who inhabit the reservation, it is a
real and vibrant place, alive with a uniqueness which

“We are a radical group...and want student
participation!” stated Dr. Myron Taylor of
the English Department; he was speaking of
New University Conference, a chapter of
which has just been introduced at SUNYA.

Having attended the first National Con-
vention of NUC in Chicago, Dr. Taylor is
fully acquainted with this national organiza-
tion and its goals. “Anything is open to

discussion...,”. he maintained, “but for the ; :
first time, people are seriously discussing eS
jeer To discover the true sentiments of these braves,

the ASP circulated a public opinion poll. Of the 208
polls distributed to the inhabitants, only 56 were
sufficiently moved to answer, but their answers give
enough insight into the mind of the “typical
Indian.”

Out of those polled, only 15 voluntarily chose to
live on Indian, either because they wanted to be
with their friends or because they thought Indian
life would be a novel experience. The 41 who were
put on the quad through no fault of their own are
freshmen, transfer students, upperclassmen receiving
housing for the first time, and one poor soul who
decided too late to transfer to SUNY Binghamton
Near 50% of the people expected the quad to be as
incomplete as it currently is, though many believed
that their hall would be entirely finished by the
time they established residence.

The residents had a lot to say about Indian’s most
adequate and inadequate features. The lack of
dining facilities took the award for most inadequate
feature, receiving 33 votes. It was followed by the
lack of doors on toilets, the presence of construc-
tion workers, and too much dirt and dust, Other
missing items included girls , mailboxes, hot water
oceasionally, and hall carpeting. When expressing
best features, spirit and cooperation between peo-
ple, stated 12 times, was the most frequently
mentioned. Eight people felt that Indian had no
best features whatsoever.

Most of the guys felt that Indian has something to
make up for its physical inadequacies, whether it be
the cooperativeness, the spirit of freedom, or the
fact that “‘it’s the only quad that allows rat-shooting
contests.’’ Several quad functions have highlighted

New University Conference was founded in
Chicago in the winter of 1968, by former
SDS members disillusioned both with that
institution and with the ponderous workings
of American democracy. NUC has so far
been involved in initiating college day care
centers, in organizing high school teachers,
and in finding other weapons against the
Vietnam War besides political peace cam-
paigns.

By December; the group hopes to have
completed a study of graduate education at
Albany. It will include a course, program,
and teacher analysis of every department in
the graduate program, Information for the
report will be obtained through question-
naires distributed to all graduate students.

Other members of the Albany chapter,
including Sue Ann Ethington, are actively
involved in Women’s Liberation programs.
Faculty members Jerry Johnson, Tom Smith
and Tim Reilly are avid participants in the
organization. However, as Dr. Taylor ex-
plained, “We have no constitution and no
officers.”

Dr. Taylor feels that the most important
problem facing the group right now is that
“we are limited to Humanities participation
and would like to be more broadly based.”

Each Monday at 12 noon in Humanities
122 a luncheon and rap session constitutes
the meeting of NUC sympathizers. All are
welcome and, as Dr. Taylor insisted, “We
want students!”

the otherwise dull lives of many. 60% of those who
responded attended the “Feast of the Vestal Vir-
gins,” but only 12% partook in a little-known raid
on State Quad. The largest attendance was at Keg II,
held two weekends ago.

There has been much discussion about Indian
being the only non-coed quad in the school.
‘Thirty-nine affirmed the lack of girls affected them,
16 answered “no,” with one abstaining. Comments
ranged from “I’m getting horny” to “No effect: I’m
queer” or “I’m still in love with my mother.””

When it came to the choice between the suite and
corridor systems of rooms, 22 favored the corridor,
25 favored the suite, and 9 had no preference. An
overwhelming majority of Indians preferred living
on Indian to living in the downtown dorms. Most
people objected to taking the bus during the winter
months.

Contrary to popular belief, Indian has not had an
extensive wave of robberies. Only 5 out of 51
people answered that their suite had been robbed.
Some stolen items were: a cork board, a radio-tape
player, cash, and side 3 of a Woodstock album.

Most everybody agreed that there is a definite lack
of security. This question arose once again two
weekends ago, when the master keys to all doors on
the quad were stolen from the maintenance room in
the basement, The braves are all concerned and have
signed petitions demanding maximum security on
the quad. The robbery had necessitated replacement
of all locks on the quad.

The lack of dining facilities is an inconvenience to
just about everybody on the quad, especially during
cold and inclement weather. Surprisingly enough,
four replied that they were not inconvenienced. One
chump wrote: “I enjoy walking a mile for a meal.
I'd rather walk than switch.”

Despite all the hazards and inconveniences, 38
replied that they would live on Indian again, 7

Unrest and Education: Educators Speak

by Mike Avon

“The United States at the
present time, and since the 1920's
has practiced democratic mater-
ialism,” said George Keller, an
assistant to former Chancellor
Gould of the State University of
New York. Kelier made this re-
mark in a presentation ecplaining
the causes of student unrest, at an
educational forum at Saint Rose
College on November 9.

In continuing, Keller said, “The
chief object in life is material
comfort in this world, and to have
goods available to everyone. Mak-
ing this possible requires lots of
goods and an inexpensive way to
Produce them in mass quantities.
This requires large scale product-
ion and investment.”

Because of democratic material-
ism, Keller concluded that busi-
ness is necessary, as well as spec-
ialization, bureaucracy, and,cities.
These results cause “unpleasant
consequences,” such as the loss of
self, slums, and pollution.

How does this all relate to stu-
dent unrest? Students seek iden-
tity, while bigness and bureau-
cracy requires loss of self. An-
other consequence of democratic
materialism is, according to
Keller, large scale industrialization
and internationalism. Mechanizat-
ion and war follow. Students de-
sire neither, and have been chanel-
led into both.

Keller told the mostly middle-
aged audience the the United
States is in the midst of a revolu-
tion. He maintains tha it is a
“quiet and sneaking” revolt.
Keller, who is assistant dean and
Political science prefessor at Col-

umbia, sees the causes of unrest as
plentiful and complicated.

However, Keller failed to speak
on the issue of war as a major
cause of unrest, a failure reminis-
cent of President Nixon’s treat-
ment of the same issue. Speaking
in Phoenix, Arizona, Nixon had
said,‘*Violence in America is not
caused by the war, not caused by
repression... Let’s recognize them
for what they are~-not romantic
revolutionaries, but the same
thugs and hoodlums that have
always plagued good people.”

Speaking along with Keller at
the forum were Sister Pauline
McCormick, and insuructor in ed-
ucation at Saint Rose, and David
Brown, financial accountant and
coordinator of state and federal
education funds for the city of
albany. Sister McCormick spoke
about a study on PEP (Pupil
Evaluation Program) she had done
on Albany County Schools.

The PEP tests are given to third,
sixth and ninth graders. These
tests, which are given during the
third week of the school year, test
the students’ reading and math
ability.

‘The PEP tests are given to ident-
ify educationally disadvantaged
children. Sister McCormick said
that these tests are used by the
Governor, legislature, and school
supervisors to plan the budgets.
She saw an inherent danger in this
fact, as PEP only tests reading and
math. She said, “We must be
concerned with the arts, sciences
and creativity.” The stress of read-
ing and math can bring cuts in the
wrong places, she concluded.

Brown discussed state aid to
schools, and formulas used to
determine it. He characterized
both aid and formula as deficient
and unable to meet the needs of
the school districts.

definitely would not, and 10 said that it would
depend on whether or not the quad was completed
by September.

The best part about evaluating these polls was
reading the comments we received. One itate guy
commented “Living conditions are SHIT. If a state
as rich as New York is only responsible to provide ‘a
rool and a bed,’ as the State Dormitory Authority
says, then they should go to hell, We sure pay
enough in taxes and board. They could give us
better conditions than this.” Of course, we were not
immune to comment either. Some said “Very dumb
questions,” and another “Very fine survey!” One
comment, submitted by an anonymous clown, went
as follows: “I derive an inner, intense, personal
beautiful feeling and relationship and a communal
satisfaction which is a resulting factor of the fact
that we are Brothers, friends, communally in love
and peace, together emitting our saliva upon the
floor which is walked upon equally by all.”

As the sun sets slowly in the west, the braves settle
down on their reservation to begin another evening
of stereos, studying, guitars, and passing the peace-
pipe. Despite the hardships, they are alive and well
and living contentedly on the SUNYA frontier.

-POLLUTION.
Whose Problem?

by David Comarow
An ASP Column

PYE is guilty of being complacent in constantly pointing only to
Tobin and screaming: ‘PIGS!” IF YOU EVER WENT TO THE
TOILET ON STATE QUAD‘, COLONIAL QUAD‘ THE
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING’ THE EARTH SCIENCE
BUILDING‘ OR THE FINE ARTS BUILDING, YOU FLUSHED
THE TOILET DIRECTLY INTO PATROON CREEK!! Each of
those areas connect to a 3-inch sewer line that dumps untreated
human sewage into the once crystal clear Patroon Creek. Tobin is
not the only murderer of that creek, and for that matter, neither
is SUNYA. There are numerous other sewage lines (ironically
called “sanitary sewage lines”) dumping into the same small body
of water. And what’s worse is that NO ONE KNOWS WHERE
MOST OF THESE SEWAGE PIPES ORIGINATE! It is blatantly
clar that numerous companies, shopping centers, communities,
and God knows what else, are keeping silent about their sewage in
the hopes no one will notice. They think we are so concered with
Tobin, that we will never notice them.

To all of you who dump your sewage into our creek—you are
hereby forewarned, we will find you and you will stop...one way
or the other.

SUNYA, a state government institution, is overtly polluting, and
hoping we won’t notice. What do we do? Well, now that YOU
know, it is your reponsability to hit Governor Rockefeller’s office
hard with letters and phone calls!!! And that means now
TODAY. Tell him that you DEMAND THAT SOMETHING BE
DONE TO END THE DISGUSTING POLLUTION OF PATROON
CREEK BY SUNYA!!!

The whole idea that we have been running around yelling and
screaming “TOBINS, TOBINS,” when our own institution pollu-
tes much more gets me sick! No we shouldn’t leave Tobin alone;
just because SUNYA is doing a better job of murdering the creek
doesn’t mean that Tobin has gotten any better. They still pour
their animal guts, fat, and blood into the same:strearn. It just so
happens that right across from Tobin’s out-fall are a few more
savage outlets. We don’t know whose they are. But human sewage,
sometimes brown, sometimes green, flows constantly. Westgate
Shopping Center is probably one, and other businesses in that area
are probably also guilty when we find out exactly whose sewage is
whose a lot of people are going to be sorry that they ever thought
they had the right to pollute.

Interested in helping? It will involve dumping tracing dyes into
toilets and maybe walking into some rat—infested sewers. You
had the guts to march down town and surround the federal
building, think you can stomach some real “heavy shit”?

Volunteer to put some environmental criminals up against the

all. There will be a Patroon Creek teach—in this Thursday
November 19 at 7:00PM and 9:00 PM in CC370. Saturday will be
community—wide demonstrations.

Israel’s Right To Live

by Bob Warner
News Editor

That the Jews, persecuted for so long out of
political expediency and human depravity, desire a
state of their own, a Jewish state, is morally just,
That there are those who would deny Israel’s right
to exist is morally reprehensible.

Most Americans acknowledge this right of Israel.
Yet many Americans criticize, rightfully, some
aspects of Israel, such as the predominance in Israel
of the Orthodox Jews, who have pursued a policy of
religious strangulation of the Conservative, Reform,
and Atheistic Jews, as well as of the non-Jews. The
Jewish Orthodoxy in Israel must loosen its grip if its
people and its country are to grow to fulfill the
dream of a democratic socialist state. An Israeli
theocracy is most uncharacteristic of Jewish politi-
cal and social thought.

The problem of the Arab refugees is not as simple,
however. While Israel should probably have ac-
cepted the original Palestinians, it seems too late to
turn back now, for the rabidity of the Arab mind
has made any reconcilation impossible. The hate
infused into the Arab masses, both refugee and
non-refugee, is a just rationalization for Israel to
wash its hands clean of the situation. It must also be
noted that many Palestinians left Israel because they
were terrorized by Arab propaganda; they believed
that they would be unsafe in Israel, and that they
were obligated to join the battle against zionism.
Furthermore, it is incredulous that some ignore the
fact that Arab leaders refused to absorb the refugees
into their respective countries; discontented re-
fugees are, of course, more politically useful to Arab
leaders, more so than if they were content.

Unfortunately, the United Nations, probably
theonly hope for peace in the world, has of late
favored the Palestinian cause. It is indeed unfortu-
nate that the organization which gave life to Israel
now abets those who would only annihilate her.
Admittedly, Israel sometimes overreacts to Arab
raids, but, because Israel is surrounded by her
enemies, no matter how inept they may be, it is
reasonable to assume that the Israelis will be con-
stantly geared to instant retaliation. The Arabs are
certainly notorious for breaking cease-fire agree-
ments, and Israel is therefore only partially to blame
for the aggravation of Mideast tensions.

While such a pro-Israel postion is abhorred in most
leftist circles, and by a few liberals, the position is
nevertheless consistent with the principles of justice,
freedom, and democracy, which most leftests sub-
scribe: to. The New Left attacks Israel, not only out
of ani-semitism, but because American foreign
policy, which in most areas is extremely objection-
able, is pro-Israel. The leftists’ syllogism isthatany
friend of America is just as imperialistic as the
United States; this argument is invalid for the
whole, although Spain, Greece, Nationalist China,
and South Vietnam are specific valid examples. The
few anti-Israel liberals feel that one must oppose aid
to both Israel and South Vietnam in order to be
morally consistent.

It must be made clear, though, that Israel is neither
fascistic, dictatorial, racist, nor despotic, as the
examples cited above are. Israel is a democratic
state, in need of reform, as all democracies are, and
is alsoia ‘forerunner in economic socialism. Neither
Egypt, Syria, nor Jordan can boast so much. Yet the
purported friends of justice; freedom, and peace
would not only brand Israel with the swastika and
the fasces, but would drive Israel into the sea.

GLENS FALLS
707 Upper Glen St.

by John Carter

Albany State closed out their
initial grid season Saturday with a
61-8 loss to Hudson Valley Com-
munity College. Although things
didn’t work out too well for the
Danes this game, their season was
far from the disaster many people
predicted it would be and hope
runs high for the future of foot-
ball here at State.

Losing to Hudson VAlley was
certainly no disgrace. Just last
week the powerful Vikings barely
lost to the number two junior
college team in the nation, Grand
Rapids, Mich. Contrary to popular

| belief, a school’s size has no rela-

tion with the strength of its athle-
tic program. Thus the Danes, with
no recruitment and five starters
(with high school experience) who
hadn’t played football in three
years were at a distinct dis-
advantage.

The Statesmen did come into
the game with an excellent mental
attitude. They drove the ball

seventy yards in ten plays with
quarterback Rick Petty carrying it
in for the score early in the first
period. But on that drive halfback
Bernie Boggs received a head in-
jury which required stitches and
kept him from finishing the game.
With Boggs’ departure went 90%
of Albany’s offense. Later in the
second quarter a safety and an
interference penalty gave
H.V.C.C. scores, The second half
contained many State errors and
developed into a route. However
the Albany players never quit and
kept fighting right up to the
whistle.

Coach Ford, while obviously not
pleased with the score, still felt
that Albany’s showing wasn’t that
bad for a new team, Bogg’s injury
and a few mistakes shifted the
momentum to H.V.C.C. and al-
lowed them to make a rout of the
second half. Coach Ford cited end
Butch McGuerty, tackle Steve
Finn, and linebacker Nick Conte
for playing fine defensive games.
On offense quarterback Rick
Petty showed a lot of poise in his

first start.

Looking back on the season
Coach Ford said, “We made up
our mind right at the beginning
not to measure the year’s success
or failure in terms of games won,
but rather on team growth in
unity, skill, and spirit. From this
standpoint I feel it was a highly
successful season. I think we have
a fine nucleus for next year’s
team.” He further noted that
some of this year’s players have
shown fine promise for the future.
Among this group are defensive
backs John Johnson and Randy
Farnsworth, defensive tackles Bob
Downey and Finn, and linebacker
Conte. On offense the men to
watch for are guard Pete Moore,
ends Ed-Perka-and Ernie Thomas,
halfbacks Cleve Little and Boggs,
and quarterback Petty.

Some things are bound to hold a
first year team back in their pro-
gress. Considerable time must be
taken finding the right spots for
each player. Albany in particular
was hampered by the lack of all
important pre-season practice.
The coaching staff merited fine
praise from ‘Coach Ford, but he
noted that they could have done
an even better job if some of the
assistants were on a fulltime basis.
All these factors slowed the Danes
down but despite them a good
football program was started.

It’s hard to say how far the team
will go from this beginning with a
rough eight game schedule slated
for next year. A lot of the answer
will depend on administration
Policy concerning recruitment,
admissions, hiring of a fulltime
staff ete. The important elements
of coach and team enthusiasm are
there and these lead State fans to
be optimistic. As the old Dodger
fans used to say, “Wait till next
year.”

Wrestlers Strong, Have
Depth, Experience

The picture looks quite a bit
brighter this year for the varsity
wristling team than it did at. the
same time last season. With six
returning lettermen and all the
weight classifications manned at
this time, Coach Joe Garcia pre-
dicts a successful year.

The grapplers will be led by
tri-captains Jeff Albrecht, Phil
Mims and Jim Nightingale. “They
have done a very fine job thus far
in pulling the squad together and
building morale,” stated Garcia’

Albrecht will wrestle in the 142
Ib, class with Nightingale shifting
between 150 Ib. and 158 Ib. The
latter will be hard pressed for a
starting berth by freshman Cliff
Wess, who Garcia says is very
smooth and “knows all the

moves.” Wess will also pressure
Mims for the 158 Ib. assignment
but Phil is also capable of
wrestling at 167 Ibs.

Lettermen Al Mercer, Tim
Coons and Herman Hilliard will go
at the 177 Ib., 190 Ib. and heavy-
weight classes, respectively.
Hilliard fost only one dual match
all of last year. Two men who
were out last season, Kevin Roach
(150 Ib.) and Curt Whitton
(heavyweight), should be very
strong competitors. Tom Hull, a
freshman who wrestled 3 years at
Albany Academy will man the
118 Ib. class with Rex Carey
(Morrisville C.C.) or Johnny Lutz
(Guilderland) wrestling at 126 Ibs.
Larry Mims, Phil’s brother and a
freshman might well start at 134

Hoopsters Impressive

In Brock. Scrimmage

The Great Dane varsity basket-
ball team scrimmaged a very
tough Brockport State quintet on
Saturday and came away with a
74-67 victory.

Although State did not play
exceptionally well, they did a very
creditable job in light of the fact
that Brockport finished second in
last year’s NCAA small college
eastern regional tournament.

According to Coach Doe Sauers,
the team ran very well but had
trouble culminating the fast
breaks by scoring. “Our ball
handling was not up to par and we
missed too many good scoring
opportunities.

Sauers will ‘not, at this point,
commit himself as to probable
starters this year. One might pre-
sume that they will be the four
returning starters from last season,
co-captains Jack Jordan and Alan
Reid, and seniors Jim Masterson
and Steve Sheehan, plus either

sophomore DAve Welchons or
junior transfer John Quattrochi.
Bob Rossi, also a junior transfer
could start and will definitely see
a great deal of action against the
zone defense since he is, according
to Sauers, the squads’s best out-
side shooter.

‘Transfer Steve Juss and sopho-
more Werner Kolin will give
Sheehan a strong back-up in the
middle.

Tomorrow, the Danes visit
American International College in
Massachusetts. The latter are one
of the strongest small colleges in
the nation. A good showing to-
morrow would be further proof
that this year’s squad can have a
very.successful season.

Educational Excellence?

Once upon a time, there existed a
nation which prided itself on its
educational excellence. Every-
body spoke only praise of its
secondary schools and universi-
ties. These schools were the places
where parents used to send their
children to get ahead, when
getting ahead meant something
different than it does today.
Needless to say, the students
started questioning the founda-
tions upon which the schools were
built, and they even questioned
some people and administrators
too. The university was accused of
being interwoven within the com-
plex military-industrial complex.
So many administrators were
questioned on this complex rela-
tionship that quite a few of them
developed a complex of their
own. Many frauds proved Sig-
mund correct.

Some people who noticed the
problem within the university de-
cided to see what the high
schools were like. They expected

to find subversive elements influ-
encing the minds of the young,
but found faculty members were
relatively “straight.” They were
not only straight, but were
moving along Rigor Mortis Drive
rapidly.

In high school, things were like
this. When anyone walked into a
bathroom, it was worse than being
in Los Angeles, smogwise. Some-
times when teachers walked in
they ordered those partaking in
creating this semi-purple-
haze-making to sit in detention
that night. This means that a
student would have to sit quietly
in a room from about 7:00 to
9:00 p.m.. After completing this
police function, the “teacher”
would usually retire to his depart-
ment office for a heavy smoke or
two.

Then there were coaches of
teams. Now these guys were pure.
If anyone smoked on one of their
teams, it was a no-no. If anyone
drank on one oftheir teams, it was

a no-no. If anyone had syphilus
they undoubtedly would have
been thrown off the team too. It
is unknown how many coaches
have had liver trouble, but many
have gone home to their wives
with an urge to soccer.
Admidst other problems, a drug
“epidemic” swept the land. “I
dont know why they destroy
themselves like that,” said the
teacher, after ordering one of his
students to copy the words in the
dictionary. “You think that they
have problems like grown-up peo-
ple do!”
“You know what really annoys
me? These hyppocritical kids who
want rights without
responsibilities and who say they
are for peace and who can’t even
get along with their parents. They
are insecure,” mentioned the man
salaried by the school to teach,
while he sucked on his grade
book.
And the kids turned off and on.

Editorial Comment

Environmental Crime

Construction of the uptown campus of Albany State began in
1962. Since that time an industrial area has grown in the
Exchange West Area, shopping centers have been built in the
Colonie and Central Avenue areas, and all this while, state and
city officials have known that the lack of sewage treatment has
meant environmental destruction and the threat of disease.

State and city officials have been criminally negligent of their
responsability. They admittedly have known of the severity of the
pollution. they admittedly have realized all the while that the one
sewage treatment plant at Westerlo Island—built in 1910——was
doing absolutely nothing to lessen the destructive effects of
untreated waste.

Instead, anticipating the economic advantage of the industrial and
commercial growth, and unwilling to risk unpopularity in educat-
ing the public to the need for extensive and expensive treatment
units, they have permitted the situtation to seriously worsen and
have spoken too vaguely for too long of a unified sewage system.
Even now, there are serious questions as to whether the proposed
system will adequately handle the dumpage of waste.

The State Health Department lists Albany County as a “major”
polluter of the environment. It lists all the surrounding cities and
communities as “major” polluters. It lists Tobin Packing Com-
pany in the same category——the same catagory as a city of
120,000.

What is most disheartening is that the public must now depend on
the same city and state officials who have dragged their feet for so
long. Obviously, Tobin’s, State University, Manning Paper, Nor-
miskill Septic and Killip Laundry cannot be expected to build
their own individual treatment plants. Yet, what they must do, in
recognition of their own part in the pollution mess, is to put the
utmost pressure on the city and state to expedite the county
sewage treatment system.

We are asked by the city to believe that this central system will
appear within the next two years. We are asked to believe this by
a government which has known of the situation for thirty years
and which has helped to make it grow worse within the last eight
years by approving the growth and development of further
industrial and commercial polluters. We cannot simply believe.
Unfortunately, we are at the point where to preserve the quality
of life we must struggle against city and state bureaucracy.

Only forceful and constant pressure will prod these officials into

Easter Hassles

To The Editor:

We would like to bring to the attention of the
student body the fact that as now scheduled we
must come back to campus after spring recess on
Easter Sunday. Considering the great distances that
students must travel, the present arrangement would
not allow students to spend much time with their
families on this day.

We propose that spring vacation should begin at
5:00 p.m, on Monday, April 5 instead of on
Saturday, April 3. Dorms would then reopen at 12
noon on Monday, April 12 instead of on Easter
Sunday.

Students interested in changing the present
schedule should contact their quad Central Council
representative or Faculty-Student senator. The
names of representatives can be obtained by calling
the Student Association office at 457-6542.

Patroon Creek

To the Editor:

The article on the Death of Patroon Creek was
timely and well done, for the most part. It was an
honest effort to do more than talk in generalities
about pollution. Several questions which came to
my mind towards the end of the article remained
unanswered, however. I would like to know if the
Tobin Packing Company is performing a needed
community Service (that is, do people desire to buy
their meat products) and, if so, is it possible for
Tobin to continue to perform this service while
further abating the polution they create? Mr. Oblas
did not indicate the types of action the company
might take, other than just wait for the expected
hook-up to some distant sewer system not yet under
construction. I suspect that others besides myself do
not know the steps which comparable firms have
taken to alleviate pollution. If we learn more
exactly what Tobin has not done, then we as
individuals are more capable of confronting Tobin
on this issue.

By this time most of us are aware of the
environmental crisis, but unfortunately it is hard for
us to really evaluate all sides of the issues because of
the lack of definite information. I would like to see
a series in the ASP putting forth “hard” information
on selected problems such as phosphates in deter-
gents, and what might occur if we were to replace
them with something else, etc. Discussion of other
issues of a more local nature, such as the Patroon
Creek problem, would also be welcome. Also, it
would be nice to have a more optimistic article
illustrating positive effects of pollution abatement
(if such a situation can be found). And finally, I
suspect many of us would enjoy reading an article
which describes an effective municipal sewer, gar-
bage, and trash disposal system.

Sincerely,
John N. Aronson
Chemistry Department

Bad News?

To the Editor:

The Tuesday, November 10 issue of ASP was the
worst issue that I have seen in my short time here.
Clearly “Rats on Campus” is hardly my (or I should
hope anyone else’s) idea of a front page news story.
Such a story should be considered a feature and
should therefore be assigned to a place on a
subsequent page. Furthermore, PYE activities,
though interesting and highly commendable, should
not be given coverage on page one. Priority should
be given to subjects affecting the university com-
munity as a whole. Perhaps ASP should reconsider
what constitutes news and what constitutes fea-
tures.

The “Airplane” article on page five was an insult
to the intelligence of college students in general.
Such was truly an example of a “concise” review (or
whatever it was supposed to be). Roy & Shirley
should win the year’s booby prize for that one. Is
that all that can be said about the Airplane concert
that drew two sellout crowds?

I have often wondered what ASP has done to
institute regular columns of the arts, satire in
general, ete. Such might be a good idea.

Thankfully the Eep, ASP Sports, and the Com-
munications paged have remained up to par-let’s
hope they won’t have to'save this “New York Daily
News”'ish publication for long.

action. Only a public outcry against their present course of events
will force them to reconsider their budgetary priorities. For the
sake of our collective necks, this outcry must be heard.

Thursday’s Fast

This Thursday night, one of the fraternities on campus is
sponsoring a food fast for the American Indians. Food Service will
give approximately $1.00 for everymeal not consumed. The
money will be used for the support of the currently existing
Navajo Community College. We have neglected the Indian for too
long. Giving up one meal is a small thing to ask. Please do not eat
on Thursday night. This money can be put to constructive use.
