THE FSA STORY (Part Five):

The chart to the right shows FSA at a glance. It
lists the major program items over the past two
years and the amount of money made or lost by
each. Note the food service figure—a near quarter
million dollar drop. At the same time, bookstore
losses tripled and income from vending fell slightly.
Only vending made money last year—and it is

operating illegally.

PROBE CONTINUES:
FOOD SERVICE EXAMINED;
PROFITS QUESTIONED

by J.Stephen Flavin
and Al Senia

The following is the fifth in a
series of articles concerning Al-
bany State’s Faculty -Student
Association.

If you are an undergraduate
student here at Albany State, and
you think you arebeingmistreated
by the all-inclusive corporation
that is Faculty-Student Associa-
tion, you are correct in your
analysis.

If you're an undergraduate stu-
dent living on one of the five
quadrangles, you have even more
of a reason to complain, because
you are forced to deal with the
FSA corporate monopoly through
its food service operation.

‘As everyone knows, you can’t
live in adormitory at SUNY-
Albany without taking a food
service meal.

‘And as everyone knows, Robert
Cooley, director of the corpora-
tion, wants to raise the price of
that meal.

It seems a fair’ request when
placed in the context of the gener-
al inflation of the times.

But you’d change your mind
quickly if you looked at an FSA
financial audit and saw what real-
ly happens to your board money.

“NON-PROFIT” CORPORATION

Under the by-laws of the corpor-
ation, FSA exists as ‘a non-profit
corporation...existing pursuant to
the Not-for-Profit Corporation
Law of the State of New York.”

What this means is that FSA
must provide ; essential services
to the community at minimal
costs; theoretically, at least it is
forbidden to make a profit. Any
profits are supposed to be re-
turned to the customer, either
through better service or lower
prices.

Food service used to be the
major money-maker for FSA.
Two years ago (the year ending
June 30, 1970), it made
$221,097.13 in profit.

But the profit never went back
into food service.

Instead, it was used to defray
the losses of FSA’s “benevolent
functions:” Alumni Affairs, free
meals for resident staff, Interna-
tional Students, Mohawk and
Dippikill, and “Special University
Functions,” which covers every-
thing from faculty recruitment
and receptions, to administrative
“sluch funds.”

It was a situation that was un-
ethical, if not outright illegal. The
undergraduate students on the
FSA membership board recog-
nized this fact last year, and under
the leadership of Student Associa-
tion President David Neufeld and
Vice-President Lampert, moved to
correct it.

For the most part, they were
successful. A Committee son Fi-
nancial Affairs) was formed to
deal with the entire issue. It con-
cluded that: “each of the self-
supporting (FSA) operations
should stand on its own.”

THE CAMPUS CENTER

The FSA audit shows the Cam-
pus Center losing a massive a-
mount of money— $222,298.20
last year.

Robert Cooley told the last FSA
membership meeting that: “The
Campus Center has lost money
since the day we opened it,” and
that the Cafeteria is responsible
for most of the loss. That is no
understatement. Since 1968, the
year it opened, the Campus Cen-
ter has lost $681,000. The quad
profits paid off.

He also said: “The Patroon
Room should break about even”
and that “Special Functions
makes money.” (Special Func-
tions are usually dinners or other

"The final tally shows FSA as being
$338,487.39 in the red”

“Every quadrangle dining hall has made

benefits
service.)

It is an interesting comment
because a report issued by New
York State Controller Arthur
Levitt about a year aand a half
ago, contradicts it. The state audi-
tors said:

“The Campus Center Cafeteria
is similar to the Quadrangle cafe-
terias which have been operated
profitably, and it would be rea-
sonable to assume that the Cam-
pus Center Cafeteria should also
produce favorable results.”

“If this is the case, then the
losses are the result of the Patroon
Room and Special Functions.””

But that’s not what Cooley told
the board. And it’s not what some
FSA employees have told these
reporters.

The employees call the Patroon
Room “the white elephant of the
Campus Center” and “a faculty
dining club.”

‘This diserepency has, of course,
cast some suspicion on the accura-
cy of the official audit.

Food service personnel contend
that “there are many extra ex-
penses slapped against the Campus
Center that management doesn’t
know about.”

These reportedly include addi-
tional costs in the payroll charged
against the Campus Center food
operation which might actually be
Campus Center building cost or
padding of the supervisory pay-
roll.

Significantly, Ronald Clough,
newly-appointed head of the en-
tire Campus Center food opera-
tion told these reporters: “If we
closed the Campus Center food
operation down, we still won’t
make up the quarter of a million
dollar loss.”

To put it another way, when
you eliminate all direct and indi-
rect expenses, a deficit remains
that cannot be accounted for,

There is additional evidence of
faulty figuring.

According to an internal esti-
mate made by food service offi-
cials, the Patroon Room must
serve 45 to 55 people a night to
break even.

Our information (verified by oc-
casional spot checks) shows that
the average number of customers
served per night is anywhere from

"The Campus Center has lost money
since the day we opened it.”’

10 to 20. (The numbers were
somewhat higher last week.)

Yet Robert Cooley told the
Membership Board of the FSA
that the Patroon Room breaks
even.

And last week, Food Service
Director Malcolm Corbiey ordered
all dinner operations to cease,
hardly an action to take if the
Patroon Room is indeed not los-
ing money.

Vice President John Hartley, re-
sponsible for the day to day oper-
ations of the corporation,
counter-manded that order, claim-
ing that not enough notice was
given customers and staff, and
that only the Board of Directors
can order an operation shut.

So the Patroon Room is now
opened at night, still losing mon-
ey.

John Hartley is the man who
said earlier this year: “FSA can-
not sustain the losses in the Cam-
pus Center. If a unit ean be
proven to lose (money), then eli-
minate it,

Another time he said: “If a unit
can be found to be operating at a
loss, and the prices can’t be
changed or the value increased,
out!”

Said one food service official:
“The operation loses. Food ser-
vice is aware of the loss. And food
service shuts it down. And the
administration keeps it open. Who
is responsible of the loss?

As a further note on the cafe-
teria operation, students might be

interested to know that Cooley
considers it to be a “service” ren-
dered to the student body by
FSA. He claims that only 10 per
cent of the resident students have
contracted for three meals a day.
According to his logic, that means
the other 90 per cent use the
cafeteria.

This ignores the fact that resi-
dent students have the option of
eating on two cash lines on the
quads, going to the snack bar,
going out to eat for breakfast or
lunch (since all residents get din-
ner), making their own meals, or
not eating at all.

Mr, Cooley also fails to mention
that this “service,” which the res-
ident students are underwriting, is
graciously extended to both the
faculty and administration.

In short: ‘No one service—the
student dining halls, for example-
should be burdened with carrying
out the other operations of the
FSA program.”

Some of the programs were
phased out; others were re-
evaluated.

But all of this reform, it turned
out, really begged the question.
Undergraduate students no longer
have to worry about what hap-
pens to FSA profits. There aren’t
any profits to worry about.

The corporation is, in fact, insol-
vent. According to its own finan-
cial audit:

The bookstore lost $205,000.

Housing lost $13,700.

Auxiliary services lost $30,000,
(These include the barber shop,
bowling alley, beauty salon, etc.)

And food service? It lost
$17,054, a near quarter of a mil-
lion dollar turnaround in one
year.

The only aspect of the FSA
Program that made any significant
money, in fact was the vending
machine operation. The vending
machines, as was showed in a past
article of this series, are being
operated illegally under present
state law.

The final tally shows FSA as
being $338,487.39 in the red,

FOOD SERVICE

This article of the FSA series
will deal mainly with food service
operations. It is in this area that
students have the greatest contact
with the corporation that “‘serves”
them, and it is here that the
abuses of FSA are most blatant.

Earlier this fall, we met with
FSA Director Robert Cooley who
informed us that he was support-
ing a board increase the following
January to compensate for losses
in the food service program. He
told the October 20, 1971 meet-
ing of the Board of Directors that
“For the second semester, a con-
tract price of $750.00 for 20
meals...has been assumed.” (This
information is contained as part
of the minutes of that meeting.)

This figure is a one hundred
dollar increase over the present
rate; about a 15 per cent boost.

FSA Story Continues

Food

Continued from Page 1
‘The] minutes also state that:
“Dr. Benezet stated that he had
recently informed a group of stu-
dents that there would be no
‘whooping’ increase in the board
rates...[t was suggested that the
matter of a board increase be
given careful study...”

Cooley, in his interview with the
ASP, offered the following rea-
sons for wanting the hike:

-Prices were not raised two
years ago and both food and labor
costs have increased,

~The new academic calendar
disrupted the twenty year pattern
of hiring established by the cor-
poration and increased the diffi-
culty of hiring qualified help that
could be dropped from the pay-
roll during vacation periods.

--Stealing and freeloading in the
dining rooms continues.

His points are valid, though
some of them are open to some
criticism. For instance, Cooley ad-
mits that rates were not raised
two years ago because the campus
had been involved in a national
student strike and: “We (the man-
agement) didn’t want to throw
the issue of a price increase into a
very disturbed situation.”

In other words, you don’t push
for a price increase when students
are already agitated; you wait
until they calm down, Then you
hit them for a boost, claiming that
prices weren’t raised when they
should have been. Some under-
graduate board members are
claiming that it is not a very
logical way to run a corporation.

And while “ripping off” un-
doubtedly occurs, the prime rea-
sons Cooley pushed for installa-
tion of the “cages” that encircle

. chow

Service

the quad dining rooms, is to make
a price increase less likely. Cooley
says the cages have stopped the
brunt of the theft—but that a
price increase is needed anyway.
The installation of the cages, by
the way, was opposed by many
students—including the student
government president.

But more importantly, none of
the factores cited by Cooley get
to the main issue.

According to his own figues,
every quadrangle dining hall has
made a steady profit over the past
three years, even after all direct
and indirect expenses were de-
ducted,

‘The quad cafeterias have been
consistent money makers.

The total for the last three
years:

Colonial made $325,000.

-State made $326,000.

Probed

--Dutch made $271,000.

---Alden/Waterbury made
$208,000.

That is over one million dollars
in steady profit; profit that never
got pumped back into the quads.

Where does the money go and
why are students being asked to
pay more of it by Mr. Cooley?

The answer is very simple: Be-
cause the operations in the Cam-
pus Center, the Brubacher dining
facilites, and the little-known
Husted cafeteria downtown, all of
which give little benefit to the
very students who underwrite
them—you,

for this loss are not even allowed
to use the facility. Only grad
students are allowed to eat in the
Brubacher cafeteria, and the grad
students do not have a mandatory
meal plan as the undergrad. resi-
dent students do.

Food service recently shut down
the cafeteria on weekends (at an
estimated payroll saving of $2000
a month) and now grad students
are complaining about the lack of
service. They have to walk across
Alumni Quad on weekends and
eat at Alden/Waterbury.

The Brubacher Snack Bar also
loses money and part of the rea-
son may be the way undergrads
are treated. ‘Says a food service
official: “Making the Brubacher

dents has resulted in additonal
losses in the Brudbacher snack

Women’s Groups
Clash at Capitol

by Tracy Egan

The statewide conference, “Women: A Political Force”, was
disrupted briefly on Saturday by shouting members of a group calling
itself Women Against War and Fascism. The disruption came as Betty
Friedan, one of the founders of the National Organization of Women,
addressed the meeting in State Capital Assembly Chambers.

The dissident women, most looking to be in their early twenties or
younger, continued shouting until Friedan turned over the micro-
phone to group spokeswoman Beth Rodriguez. The audience of
women,though largely seeming to disapprove of the disruptive tactics,
were fairly quiet while Rodriguez spoke. She read a prepared
statement charging that the state has “hidden” money from the
people, resulting in welfare cuts. She also called for free day care
centers. The protestors shouted slogans including,’ Money for
Welfare, not for Highways” and “‘Attica-Welfare, Rockefellers
Crimes.” They also objected to what they claimed was the staging of a
conference which poor women could not arrange to attend, even
though it was free.

Betty Friedan tried to continue her address, but once again there
was an attempt to shout her down. A brief scuffle, of which most of
the conference participants were unaware, broke out in the back of
the chambers when some conference women asked the group to be
quiet and then asked them to leave. The group of about 25 women
dissenters left soon after and continued their protest in front of the
Capitol steps.

Inside, Friedan resumed the statement of purpose for the confer-
ence—the political power which women must learn to assert. She
pointed out that “We are not here as a token political force. This (the
Assembly Chambers) has been turned over to us because we are
already a political force.” She stressed that if women were to be
effective as a force to better society through government, they must
be able to transcend rhetoric and work with women whose style and
political standing may be different from their own.

Decrying the fact that the State Senate has no women members, and
that out of 207 seats in the State Assembly, only three are held by
women, Friedan urged that “this government be of, by and for the
women who deserve to be here.” She continued “men in high places
are trembling at the threat of this new non-violent force... All the
talent and political energy which formerly was given to men will be
given to women...the only power which can keep women from
attaining their goals is women themselves.”

June Martin, Director of the Central Staff of the New York State
Assembly, gave an address on sponsorship, lobbying and the draft of
legislation. :
| The conference then broke up into workshops to discuss recom-
mendations for the drafting of legislation of interest to women. One
of the recommendations called for prostitution to be legalized.

Sunday’s Conference Activities

Sunday, the conference continued, without disruption, as a school
for candidates, with Assemblywomen Cook, Gunning and Krupsak
speaking. Congresswomen Bella Abzug and Shirley Chisholm also
spoke. Chisholm hopes to form a coalition of women to back her
declared candidacy for President. She said Sunday that “...women are
moving in a more positive direction than men... they are crossing class
and color lines because of a real gut committment.”

S.A. Accused of Allowing
‘Racism Funded by Student Tax’

by Allen Altman

Council member Jody Widelitz, chairman of the Grievance Committee, accused Student Association of
“racism funded by student tax” at the Central Council Meeting on Thursday, The charge-was made in
regard to a speech by Black Islam Minister Farrakhan, that took place on Wednesday, The speaker was
sponsored by the E.0.P, Student Association and funded by student tax.

Gloomy Budget Picture
Revealed at Senate

by Stephen H, Goldstein

Dr, Philip Sirotkin, University
vice-president for academic
affairs, addressed a special
meeting of the University Senate
Monday and summarized the sta-
tus of the 1971 university budget,
the projected budget for 1972,
the priorities decided upon in a
meeting between university deans
and his office, and current and
future enrollment figures.

TOS) YES ELS LY

Let Aer know you care....

see us for your next engagement

When Governor Rockefeller sub-
mitted his budget to the Legisla-
ture, this university’s total ap-
propriation was set at
$39,854,000, That figure was first
reduced by nearly $1 million, and
legislative review cut another $1
million from it, After a number of
other restraints were imposed, in-
cluding an “expenditure ceiling”
ordered by. the Division of the
Budget, the final budget rested at
$36,828,000, more than $1 mil-
lion higher than the 1970 budget.

One target of the budget pro-
blems, the ratio of students to
faculty, has suffered, according to
Sirotkin, Official figures note a
ratio of 14,2 students per faculty
member but the “operational
figure” is 15,3 to 1. The ratio in
1970 was 13,6 to |. The general
feeling in the SUNY system is that
this ratio is one of the better ones
among SUNY units,

The 1972 budget will be submit-
ted to the Legislature when the
session opens in January.
SUNYA’s chunk of that docu-
ment first showed: an expected
increase of $5 million, SUNY
Central has reviewed the request,
but it has not reached the Division
of the Budget.

SUNY Central’s review of the
1972 budget cut the $5 million
increase to $2.8 million. Accord-
ing to Sirotkin, a result of the
budget cut would be an increase
in the ratio of students to faculty
to 16,14’students per faculty mem=
ber.

“We may well be operating with
a worse deficit next year than this
year,” commented Sirotkin, who
cited the defeat of the Transporta-
tion Bond issue as a source of
future fiscal difficulty,

Meeting with Deans

Sirotkin’s meeting with univer-
sity deans resulted in the fol-
lowing agreed priorities: to in-
crease the employment of
minority groups and women; to
improve the workload distributed

continued on page 18

The charge resulted from E,O,P,
Student Association’s action of
barring white students from the
speech until all seatswere filled in
the back, ‘Widelitz presented
Council with a signed statement
from some of the people turned
away from the speech declaring
“they were not permitted to at-
tend a function paid for by Stu-
dent Association.”

One of the white students who
was refused admittance, said that
he was told all seats were reserved
for E.O,P,'students though he saw
old and young black people being
admitted, He commented “they
finally let us stand in the back,”
Another white student who was
refused admittance, commented
that he was told he would have to
wait for all E,0,P,'students to be
seated before he could be seated.

In response to the charge, Mike
Lampert, President of Student As-
sociation, assured Council that the
Executive Branch would look into
the incident in order to determine
if it is a violation of student tax
policy. If it is, he explained, he
would try to prevent it from
happening again, by either
freezing E.O.P. Student As-
sociation’s budget for a short
period or warning them that their
budget would be frozen if the
incident occurred again.

Council member Eric Lonschein
commented that everyone who
paid tax should be allowed into an
event funded by student tax. He
said thatthe incident was a fla-
grant violation of Student As-
sociation policy that mandated
immediate action. Widelitz said
that the E.O.P. Student As-
sociation broke the trust that Stu-
dent Association had in them by
not allowing all students to attend
the speech. When the E.O.P. Stu-
dent Association applied for
funds, they assured Council that
all events would be open to the
entire University Community.

Day Care Request

In other business, a loss of
quorum due to Council members
leaving the meeting, cut short
discussion over a budget request
from the Friends of the Day Care
Center. The Friends of the Day
Care Center is an organization
formed for the purpose of
supplying funds for the Day Care
Center.

"ONLY A NIGGER”

PHILADELPHIA (LNS)— James Richardson and William Morris,
two black detectives for the Philadelphia Police department, were
arrested, humiliated and beaten early this week while trying to break
up a scuffle between three people on the corner of a West Philadelphia
neighborhood.

According to their attorney, Cecil Moore, the two officers were
leaving the Jefferson Club, in West Philly, about 3:15 Tuesday
morning. They were off duty, and dressed in civilian clothing.

“They noticed an argument going on between two or three people
on the corner, The two black officers broke the argument up and then
a red car drove up,” said Moore. “The officer in the red car accosted
Richardson,” Moore continued, “Richardson shouted, ‘I’m an officer,’
and showed his identification.”

“Then, five other officers arrived on the scene including a sergeant.”
The officers frisked Richardson and felt his gun. Richardson was
insisting he was an officer and showed them his badge and I.D., ” said
Moore, “and so did Morris.”

“The sergeant told the officers to ‘book-em’”. Richardson was
allowed to put his gun in his auto that was parked nearby before
entering the meat wagon and being taken to the police station at 55th
and Pine streets.

“Richardson and Morris thought that once they got to the police
station they would the whole matter cleared up,” explained Moore.

According to their attorney, the following events took place:

“They were taken to the operations desk at 55th and Pine Streets
and then they headed towards the phones to call their superiors.

“Morris made his phone call, but when Richardson attempted to, he
was grabbed by the same officers who were at 52nd and Spruce
Streets. The officers told Richardson,‘you can’t make a phone call,
smart nigger.’

“They then took Richardson to the back, where they beat him with
nightsticks and fists and their feet.

“A black corporal at the station house broke the beating up and
Richardson and Morris were allowed to go.

“Morris went home and Richardson went to the Philadelphia
General Hospital. Around nine o'clock that same Tuesday morning,
both Richardson and Morris were called into the Round-House (police
administration building) to give statements. That’s when I was
contacted by Richardson,” the attorney concluded.

Moore said that he was filing a federal court suit against the City of
Philadelphia and the State of Pennsylvania.

62%
For Withdrawal

New York (LNS)— A few years
ago, we would have thought it was
a misprint. By a margin of three
to one (62% to 21%) Americans
now favor withdrawing all forces
from Vietnam by next May “even
at the risk of a Communist take-
over,” according to the latest Har-
ris poll.

At the same time, they strongly
and specifically oppose all of the
half-way alternatives Nixon has up
his sleeve:

Lynbrook, NY (LNS)—The student editors of the
Lynbrook High School newspaper won back their
positions and forced the school to back down pn
any further censorship on grounds other than “libel,
obscenity and plagiarism.”

The six-person editorial
headed by a 17-year,old woman, Phyllis Curott, had
been dismissed for insisting on reporting that the
school band had decided against participating in'any
more Memorial Day parades. The band members felt
that Memorial Day parades had implicit political

meaning and that they would rather play a concert J

on their own. The school administration apparently
felt that a newspaper report of the band’s decision
had a political meaning too—one that they could
not tolerate.

But when the students threatened a suit and their
ACLU lawyer convinced the local Board of Educa-
tion that the school would lose the case if it ever
went to court, their editorial positions were restored
and they were given a free hand in setting editorial
policy in the future.

Not So Credible

EAST LANSING Mich. (LNS)— Nobody believes
anything the establishment says these days ac-
cording to the University of Michigan’s Center for
Political Studies, A recent Center opinion sampling
shows a big drop in the number of adult Americans
who express a high degree of confidence in the
Federal Government according to Time Magazine.
In 1964, 62% of those polled expressed high
confidence. In 1970 the figure was 37%.

Dr. Warren Miller, director of the Center, says the
loss of confidence spread to other institutions and
leadership too. Bankers and financial leaders were
well regarded by 67% of the public back in 1966
but with the stock market shaky, jobs scarce and
the wage price freeze being met with more and more
distrust, they have slipped in regard to 36% in 1971.

Psychiatrists have fallen from grace by 16 points
from a 51% vote of confidence in '66 to 35% today
and scientists and technological progress has dipped
from 56% to 32%. Of course, nobody ever trusted
advertising execs, but in °71 they creashed to 13%
from a previous peak of 21% confidence.

VD on the Rise

NEW YORK (AP)— The president of the Ameri-
can Social Health Association said today that the
number of reported syphillis cases in the United
States increased 15.6 per cent in fiscal 1971 over
the previous year. Dr. Bruce Webster also said that
reported cases of gonorrhea, which the ASHA had
officially declared an epidemic last year, increased
8.9 per cent in the same period.

“There is indeed a VD crisis,” Dr. Webster
said,emphasizing that the ASHA figures were based
only on reported cases. He said an association study
indicated that doctors report to public health
authorities only one out of eight cases they treat.

His remarks were in a statement prepared for a
news conference.

Bircher on Bench?

Earth News

Investigative reporters in the Phoenix, Arizona,
area have uncovered distant connections between
Supreme Court nominee William Rehnquist and the
John Birch Society—but they have been unable to
find any direct involvement of Rehnquist with that
ultra-conservative organization,

Newsman David Lucer, editor of the weekly
“Voice of the City” in Phoenix, has documented
that Rehnquist was one of the principal speakers at
an “Arizonans for America” conference back in
1958, That conference was arranged by Francis
Cullen Brophy, who is now a member of the
national board of directors of the John Birch
Society; and one of the other main speakers to
address that 1958 right-wing conference in Phoenix
was Robert Welch, founder of the Birch Society,

Lucer reports that obtaining background material
on Rehnquist from the Arizona daily newspapers
has been “very difficult.” He cited the fact that the
“Arizona Republic,” a newspaper known for its
ultra-conservative editorial policy, suddenly closed
down its newspaper library on Monday “for no
reasons which were ever explained,” Lucer added
that he was able to persuade the Republic’s editor
to give him access to the news clips on Rehnquist—
only to find that many of the news stories,
including the 1958 story of his speech to “Ari.
zonans for America,” were missing.

Lueer, a journalist campaigner for civil rights and
civil liberties in the Phoenix area, insists, however,
that he has not been able to clearly document any
direct connection between Renquist and the Birch
Socity. Said Lucer: “I have talked to Birch members
who swear they saw Rehnquist at meetings. But
when it comes time for them to make a sworn
statement.,.well, they begin to have second
thoughts; they admit they aren’t really sure the man
they saw at those meetings was Rehnquist,”

Rehnquist’s possible connection to the Birch
Society was originally voiced by former New York
Times reported Sidney Zion. Zion is the same
newsman who first revealed that Daniel Ellsberg
leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times.

Rehnquist, whose background is currently being
investigated by the Senate Judicial Committee, has
submitted a sworn statement to that Committee
denying membership in the Birch Society,

Keep Goodman!

Dear Sit:
In regard to the recent denial of
tenure to Assistant Professor

David Goodman I as a student at
S.U.N.Y.A. would like to express
my opinion, I feel that it is
imperative that students have a
right in the say to the retention or
dismissal of faculty.

I feel too only the students who
take courses taught by that pro-
fessor are proper judges. As a
student in one of Dr. Goodman’s
classes I feel competent enough in
expressing my opinion both fairly
and honestly.

Professor Goodman’s ability as a
scholar was judged by his peers to
be deficient while his lecturing
capability was rated only as com-
petent. I find Professor Good-
man’s ability as a scholar very
much better than many other
professors who have received ten-
ure. I also perceive his lecturing
capacity as very much above the
average. Also the relationship by
students and Dr. Goodman is
quite close as he is well liked. It is
this closeness I feel which carries
the most weight in the retention
of Dr. Goodman.

T hope that you will take this in
to consideration and re-evaluate
Dr. Goodman and I hope you will
maintain his position in this uni-
versity as a history Professor.

Very truly yours,
David Skrilow

Library Stress

To the Editor:

In the New York Times on
Monday, 8 November, there was a
article about the Yale University

Library, having to do with the
markedly increased use of books
and other library services during
the current year. Although the
Librarian, Mr Rutherford Rod-
gers, speculated at considerable
length on the reasons for the
increased use, the operative ele-
ment of his article was the dis-
cussion of the actual increase,
namely, some 66%. Here we have
calculated our increase as approxi-
mately 60%.

Needless to say, this increase has
placed considerable strain upon
the operations of the Library,
especially of Circulation. Library
users are taking out many more
books and seem to be returning

communi-

cations

them more readily than formerly.
Our staff has been hit by a num-
ber of resignations and illnesses,
vacancies which we are unable to
fill in the present budget crisis. In
fact, it has been recently decreed
that no vacancies present or
future will be filled anywhere in
the State University system. While
we occasionally deploy clerical
and professional staff from other
areas of the Library to help shelve
the books, we thereby damage the
other operations of the Library,
such as cataloging. This kind of
emergency operation is never
going to be satisfactory either to
the users or to the Library staff.

The stark facts of life con-
cerning circulation of materials in
the Library are the following:

1. the policy of making persorial
reserves complicates the check-in
of all books and slows it down,
since it is necessary to check all
cards for possible personal re-
serves before any books are re-
turned to the shelves;

2. a policy of renewal causes the
same problem, since it is patently
unfair to renew a book if there is
a personal reserve on it. Under
normal staff circumstances, the
Library should be able both to
renew and to make personal re-
serves. In the present circum-
stances, it is hardly a question of
“either or.” I would be interested
in sampling student opinion on
temporary abandonment of both
of these services, in the interest of
getting the books back on the
shelves at the earliest possible
moment after their return. With
the new double cards, which have
been delayed because of the
necessity to put them out to bid
and to accept the lowest bid, we
will be able, ideally at least, to get
a book back on the shelves within
hours after it is returned. I say
“ideally” because this posits the
existence of sufficient staff to get
the books reshelved. However, re-
lieved of the necessity to check
every book for possible personal
reserve, the circulation staff could
devote a much larger percentage
of its time to reshelving.

The Senate Library Council is
about to promulgate a new Circu-
lation Policy, one which was
ideated largely in a vacuum and
with little consultation of the
Library staff. Under any circum-
stances whatsoever, the policy is
essentially unworkable; under the
present stringent budget situaiton,
it will be disastrous not only for
the users but for the Library.

Sincerely yours,
J.R. Ashton
Director of Libraries

editorial comment

Conspiracy!

Once the University tells you that budget cuts will
make your classes larger and the choice more limited,
and the FSA begins dropping broad hints about a
15% meal price hike, it seems almost like a conspi-
racy that the State Ed people have come up with a
plan to jack up SUNY tuition to $1500 per year,

Certainly the plan, as explained in last Friday’s
ASP, has some merits, at least as far as the private
schools of New York State are concerned. Non-
public institutions will be able to lower their rates
and SUNY will raise its to a median $1500 standard
rate, Thus anyone who can afford the $1500, plus
the usual $1200 per year living expenses, can go to
college.

The'rich and the middle class get a college educa-
tion, the poor get a token EOP effort, and the
above-poverty working class get nothing,

It’s no wonder that it came out of the State
Education department!

Of course, thanks to the immense bureaucracy of
the state, plus the efforts of those legislators who
still have consciences, this move, like any radical
move, whether just or unjust, will probably not get
to the consideration stage for years, At least this
time, the bureaucracy works in our favor, acting
against any change at all from status quo.

But how typical it is! The people of this state who
can least afford to send their kids to college are the
first to get screwed. How many of the wealthy will
be disadvantaged by a 200 per cent increase in
tuition at SUNY? For that matter, how many send
their sons and daughters to a state school?

The poor student loses, the working people lose,
and education generally, when the gifted-but-poor
are excluded, loses as well. Who gains? Not only’the
State, but the private schools which all of Rocky’s
friends, and probably most of the State Legislature,
attended when they were young, seventy years ago.
And they'll certainly be pressing the old alumni for
some fast aid, All of us had better pray that State Ed
doesn’t take that “aid” out .of the limited funds of
the State University.

Outstanding Teacher

To the University Community,

In keeping with a Senate decision last spring the
President has appointed a seven-member Outstand-
ing Teacher Awards Committee. The committee
includes four faculty members: Terrell Bynum,
Robert Frost, Helen Horowitz, and Hyman Kuritz;
and three students: Tom LaBarbera, Phil Prince, and
Bert Sapurstein. The committee has elected Terrell
Bynum chairman for the year.

The Outstanding Teacher Award will be a grant of
$2,000. Up to two such awards will be given
annually to members of the SUNYA academic staff.

The first task facing the committee is the develop-
ment of a workable and appropriate set of criteria
‘for reaching decisions. In tackling this task, the
committee will work closely with all parts of the
University community and will also gather informa-
tion from other colleges where similar awards are
given. The procedures of the committee in securing
nominations and reaching decisions will be made
public throughout the University community.

Nominations for the Outstanding Teacher Award
will be accepted between November 15 and Febru-
ary 15. All members of the University community
are invited to submit nominations, including self-
nominations, Nominations may be anonymous. In
order to function affectively, the committee de-
cided that none of its own members may be

nominated.

Nominations must include more than just a name.
They should also mention the courses which the
professor teaches that indicate excellence; and they
should specify in detail why the nominee should be
considered an outstanding teacher. These inputs will
help the committee develop guidelines and criteria

by Barry Silverberg
Opinion

SUNYA is blessed with a mul-
titude of Jewish radicals. In the
New Left, expecially, well-infor-
med sources recently reported
that there are “many of us in
the left who are Jewish and
relate to being Jewish (who)
would like some of our politics
heard above all the usual drivel
and rhetoric that gets thrown in
our direction.” With such good
news, every Jew at SUNYA and
in the Albany community
should be gratified. Our salva-
tion lies near at hand. The
leaders of “the people” are
Jews: they relate to being Jews;
and they’re interested in helping
to recreate Jewish social scenes
so that we can all take part in
the paradise they, the people
are going to create. Blessed be
the New Left, Creator of our
liberated souls and bodies, who
bringeth forth our salvation
from the imperialist running
dogs of capitalism and fascist
forces of the state!

For centuries, the Jewish peo-
ple have been “fucked over.” I
suppose that places the Jewish
oppression (dig that radical
talk!) on the same level as the
present Third World oppression.
Nobody with the least bit of
sensitivity denies the unfair
standards of American society
with regard to the Blacks, the
Chicanos, the Indians, or the
women of our society. We are
all. amply aware of the impend-
ing doom of our society once
each of the divisive factions gets
control, of guns and other wea-
ponry. Then, they'll all be in
the position to liberate them-
selves from the “‘facist running
dogs.”

Jews have always been in the
forefront of ‘‘causes.” Their
very presence in such a position
often places us in suspicion.
What have they got to gain by
supporting Blacks, Chicanos, or
Indians? Many of the groups we
so ardently support question
our motives. Their suspicions
are real, for they fail to recog-
nize the very reason that places
Jews in positions of support. We
have been persecuted for cen-
turies and we know what it feels
like to be killed, gassed, or
tortured. Many of us can still
feel the pain of our last genera-
tion that died in Hitler’s camps.

Wanted: Jews of the New Left To Build a New Society

By God, we are well aware of
whata ghetto means to a peo-
ple, or what slavery means. Let
it not be forgotten that we were
exiled from our original land for
centuries.

Our acceptance in various so-
cieties has always been condi-
tional. Until America, we could
never be sure of when our bod-
ies would be destroyed and our
immediate culture eradicated.
The medieval lords forced Jews
into such occupations as mer-
chants and money-lenders ( a
sin in the Roman Catholic doc-
trine of the time). Now the very
forces -- their descendents --
that forced many Jews to find
survival in those areas, accuse us
of such conspiracies.

The non-acceptance of the
Jew by medieval society makes
any claim that Jews sought fa-
vor and assimilation, incredible.

“Many of us

see the first need

to be

self—solution....”

The fact of the ghetto (shtetl)
forced Jews to accept their po-
sition as pariahs in general med-
ieval society. To venture be-
yond the ghetto gates (yes, Vir-
ginia, gates with locks and
keys!) was to invite what today
would pass for muggings and
murder. Is it not understandable
why some Jews still feel a sense
of paranioa?

But the paranoia is being dis-
solved, as today’s generation
finds common cause with other
persecuted peoples. Many of us
see injustice within society, and
are attempting to correct it.
Perhaps we don’t use “fucked”
and “fascist” enough in our
articles (oops! I mean rhetoric).
Indeed, we may be guilty of
concern for our brothers in the
Soviet Union, before we are

actively concerned about their
fellows in the Soviet Union; but
is it not natural to solve your
home problems first, before you
go forth to solve the world’s
problems? ‘That doesn’t mean
that some of us don’t elect to
join other groups in their strug-
gles, but rather than many of us
see the first need to be self-so-
lution; then, to add our num-
bers and influence to the more
general struggle. As Ghandi said,
one cannot begin a march with-
out the first step!

Similarly, one cannot claim
appreciation of another’s strug-
gle or attempt to gain another’s
freedom for him ( and with him
) until one has “liberated” one-
self first,

‘There'll be no rebuttals from
this writer as to inequity within
the American state and nation.
Yet, the problem seems to lie
beyond the material freedom of
the “oppressed” peoples. For
example, what is gained by a
demonstration of window-
breaking, if the demonstrators’
first reaction is to take the TV
sets? The demonstration is a-
gainst “oppression” supposedly,
so why not educate “the peo-
ple” to reject the very thing
they are struggling against -
competetive materialism. All a
demonstration, such as I’ve just
noted, accomplishes, is a change
of ownership of the material
enfringements of our society.

The “revolution” implied as
necessary from most New Left
articles (page 15 of Friday’s
ASP being no different) can
never be accomplished until TV
sets are no longer desired by
people who need food a lot
more. Perhaps, the front-liners
of our salvation would do better
to aim their investigative gen-
iuses at that problem, rather
than in distorting Jewish at-
tempts at self-help.

The Jews of SUNYA cannot
be neatly categorized and
placed in a box with a neatly
tied ribbon by any man or
woman -- regardless of his or her
polemical genius. We are a
group of individuals, with indi-
vidual concerns. We are not all
the distasteful bigots that
speak of Blacks as “‘shvartzes.”
To attempt to categorize us as
such, is a betrayal to the cause
of “the people” - so readily an
absolute for the New Left Jews.

All nominations, inquiries and information should
be sent to the committee chairman, Terrell Bynum,

Proposal For Judicial Reform

This proposal is an outgrowth of the Judicial
Workshop held on February 12-14, 1971. Par-
ticipants in the workshop ranged widely in terms of
representing various segments of the university, as
well as interested individuals within the City of
Albany and other schools within the state.

The aims and purposes of this document adhere.
to the basic concept of a community judicial system
in which all members of the university community
are subject to the regulations established by the
community. The intent of the proposal is to outline
the principles upon which such a system would
function and to set forth a general structure out of
which this system could operate.

I. RIGHTS OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS

If the university is to succeed in its pursuit of
truth and dissemination of knowledge in a setting
where the freedom of inquiry flourishes, the univer-
sity must provide an institutional framework which
encourages debate and freedom of intellectual en-
deavor without fear of consequences.

The university is in a real sense a laboratory in
which the participants—— faculty, students, and
administrators——unite in their mutual search for
intellectual growth. This necessarily means experi-
mentation with new and untried systems and
theories. It requires the articulation of views at the
frontier of thought which may seem heretical to the
majority, and may indeed never gain acceptance.
But these experiments, and these testings of senti-
ment, must not be restricted by artificial or arbit-
rary rules that would be stifling in the university
context, no matter how appropriate they might be
in another context. In short, academic freedom in
the fullest sense of the expression is indispensible to
the existence of the university.

1. Freedom in the Classroom. Freedom of ‘dis-
cussion and expression of views must be encouraged
and protested. It is the responsibility of the pro-
fessor and the student in the classroom and in
conference to insure the realization not only of the
fact but also of the spirit of free inquiry. In
particular, every effort must be made by all con-
cerned to guard against prejudiced or capricious
academic evaluation

2. Freedom of Association, Organizations within
the university may be established by members of
the university community for any legal purpose,
whether the aims are religious, political, educat-
ional, economic, or social. Association with an
extra—mural organization shall not necessarily dis-
qualify the university—based branch or chapter
form university privileges. Membership in all univer-
sity—related organizations shall be open to any
member of the university community who is willing
to subscribe to the aims of the organizations and to
meet its stated obligations. Organizations are offi-
cially recognized according to guidelines established
by the Graduate or Undergraduate Student Associa-
tion, the by—laws of the University Senate, national
or statewide professional organizations, provisions
of the Civil Service Employees Association, or the
Senate Professional Association.

University interest in the existence and objectives
of organizations within the university community
should focus on the following matters:

a. Associational Identification, The university may
not require membership lists of any organization
but it may require, as a condition for access to
university—controlled funds or use of university
facilities, the names and addresses of officers and/or
individuals within the organization who are respon-
sible for a request for funds or facilities.

b. Use of Facilities. University facilities shall be
assigned as available to organizations for regular
business meetings, social functions, and for pro-
granis open to the public. Reasonable conditions
guiate the timeliness of
f the
‘oper

may be imposed
requests, to determine

igned, time

@ appropriater
1 to insure pr

space
maintenace of the facilities used.

¢. Allocation of Funds. The authority to allocate
university—controlled funds budgeted for use by
tecognized organizations should be delegated ‘to a
body in which participation by those requesting the

money is involved. Approval of requests for funds
may be conditional upon submission of budgets to
the body authorized to approve and allocate funds.

d. Use of the University Name. No individual,
group or organization may use the university name
without express authority from the president of the
university, except to identify the university affilia-
tion of the individual, group, or organization.
Approval or disapproval of any policy or position
may not be stated as the position of the university
by any individual, group or organization, except as
authorized by the president of the university.

3. Freedom of publication. Ail publications pro-
duced by university organizations or offices (includ-
ing the student press) must be free of censorship,
and its editors and managers must be protected
from arbitrary disciplinary action arising out of
disapproval from any source of editorial policy or
content. Similar freedom must also be assured any
radio stations operated by university organizations
or offices.

4, Freedom to Protest. The right to peaceful
protest within the university community must be
preserved. The university, in recognizing its legal
obligation, retains the right to assure the safety of
individuals, the protection of property, and. the
continuation of the educational process. Orderly
picketing and other forms of peaceful protest are
protected activities on university premises if there is
no interference with free passage through areas
where members of the university community have
the right to be.

5. University Governance. Members of the univer-
sity community must be free, individually and
collectively, to express their views on issues of
institutional policy and on matters of general
interest to the community. There must be clearly
defined means for participation by all concerned in
the formulation and application of institutional
policy affecting university affairs.

6. Violation of Law and University Discipline. \f a
member of the university community is charged
with an off—campus violation of law, the matter
should be of no disciplinary concern to the univer-
sity unless the individual is unable to comply with
the requirements of his particular membership
within the community.

If the violation of law occurs on campus and is
also a violation of a published university regulation,
the university may institute its own proceedings
against the offender at any time.

7, Privacy Rights. The university must protect the
interest of its members in preservation of the right
of privacy.

a. The university should not regard itself as the
arbiter or enforcer of the morals of its members
where civil or criminal law is not broken, or where
standards of conduct established by the university
have not been violated.

b. The right of privacy for students in the
residence halls is a value which must be protected.

1) Nothing in the university relationship or resid-
ence hall contract should give the university the
authority to consent to a search of a student’s room
by police or other government officials without a
warrant or other state/federal legal authority to do

Where the university or its representative seek
ss to a student’s room to determine compliance
with provisions of applicable law relating to mul-
tiple dwelling units, the occupant(s) should be
notified of the purpose of said entry in advance
(when feasible). Where entry is sought to make
improvement or repairs, notices should be given in
advance, In emergency circumstances where im-
minent danger to life, safety, health, or property is
reasonably feared, entry should be allowed without
advance notice.

c. Confidentiality of Records. Respect must be
accorded the essentially confidentia
between the university and ti
by preserving to the maximut
privacy of all records g 4
Controlling principles for ie use of records in
disciplinary matters are specified in Section VI.

JUDICIAL PROPOSAL

TUESDAY, NOVEM

Ill. The Judicial System—

Its Purposes And Composition

A. Delegation of Authority: The President. As a
technical matter, the University’s charter usually
gives the power and authority over the educational
mission of the institution to a Board of Trustees.
They, in turn, assign certain powers to the president
of the University as the highest administrative
officer. He, in turn, assigns execution of judicial and
administrative procedures to subordinate officers,
faculty, and, increasingly, to students,

It will be presumed that the president will
normally sustain the findings and recommendations
reached by any hearing or appeal boards, Question
of those findings and recommendations might be
expected only when unusual circumstances or new
evidence present themselves. In such a case the
president would be expected to return findings and
recommendations to the appropriate board with full
comments of his own as to a need for reconsidera-
tion, After such reconsideration by the appropriate
board, a reversal by the president should rarely, if
ever, occur and should in such cases be fully
explained to the university commmunity.

B, Clearing House.

1, Composition: In order to assure the effective-
ness and efficiency of this group, the following
composition is required:

a, The clearing house shall consist of 12 (twelve)
members of which no more than six will serve at
any one time. The members will serve on a rotating
basis, depending on the case load, and the basic
ratios of membership representation within the 12
individuals selected will remain the same at all
times. If necessary, in times of heavy case loads, two
boards of six each should operate simultaneously,
Of these 12 members there shall be:

4 students (1 graduate and 3 undergraduate)
appointed jointly by Student Association and
Graduate Student Association

2 teaching faculty chosen by the faculty

2 non-teaching faculty chosen by the faculty

2 classified service personnel (not including mem-
bers of the security force) chosen by the classified
service personne]

2 representatives from the university security
force chosen by the Chief of Security. These
representatives will serve as full voting members
except in cases related to criminal matters brought
to the Clearing House as.a result of law enforcement
action,

Membership within each sub-group should be as
divergent as possible,te afford the greatest scope of
representation.

b. The Clearing House members will be notified by
the president of the university of Meir appointment
in April of each year for a term beginning in
September, Each appointed member shall serve
for one two-year term, with half of the membership
in each category changing each year. No person may
serve for two consecutive terms. Provision should
also be made in April of each year for one
six-member group to be available to function during
the summer months. No member may serve con-
tomitantly as a member of the Clearing House and
4s a member of any hearing or appeal board(s\

2. Nature: The University Disciplinary Clearing
House shall serve the following functions:

a. To distribute referral forms to any individual
who desires to file complaints or charges against a
university community member, and to assist that
individual in completing the forms,

b. To be the central “clearing house” for discipli-
nary matters, to receive referral forms, and to
determine the appropriate referral route, In addition
to routing referrals through such hearing boards as
those noted in this document, the Clearing House
may also refer cases or complaints to other uni-
versity offices, to the chairman of a department, to

any existing grievance committee, or to the Uni-

versity Traffic Appeals Committee.

c. To review all security reports forwarded to it by
the Director of Security, and to determine which
teports warrant university adjudication,

d. To review all incident communication forms
forwarded to it by university offices, and to
determine which reports warrant university adjudi-
sation.

e. To initiate with the appropriate office, organiza-
tion, or individual any additional investigation, or
interview any additional person in order to reach a
decision on disposition of any incident under review
by the Clearing House.

f, To refer to a university disciplinary system
hearing board or other adjudicatory body any case
requiring university adjudication, regardless of addi-
tional pending action (e.g., criminal court).

g. To refer the complainant to appropriate courses
in taking other action when the case is considered
by the complainant to be too serious to be handled
only within the university.

h, To be the pre-hearing body in any serious or
emergency case in which interim action might be
necessary before a formal hearing, or where a
determination must be made as to whether the
university should be taking action in a court of law
acting with the hearing board to keep the university
community informed about the judicial system,

3. Procedures:

a. Within five working days of receipt of the
reports noted in c and d above, the Clearing House
shall have completed its review and rendered a
decision, in writing, to the appropriate individuals.

b. If such a decision includes the need for
university adjudication, the Clearing House shall
forward the completed referral forms to the appro-
priate hearing board.

c. Within three working days of the receipt of all
referral forms noted in 2b, above, the Clearing
House shall forward the case to the appropriate
hearing board.

d. In all severe or emergency cases requiring a
pre-hearing, the Clearing House shall meet as soon as
possible. If it cannot meet within 48 hours of the
incident, interim action should be taken by the
Director of Security or his designee, with the
preliminary hearing to be held as soon as possible
after this (See Section IIIF, part 3), In instances
where action is taken prior to a pre-hearing, the
purpose of the pre-hearing would be to review the
action taken and to decide upon the need for
further adjudication.

e. The Clearing House will not serve as the
referring body when another member or group
within the university community is willing to fulfill
this role, It may, however, serve this function in the
absence of such a person or group, when adjudica-
tion is seen as necessary by the Clearing House. It
may also cosign a referral form, with the knowledge
of the referring body, when appropriate. In cosign-
ing a referral form, the clearing house shall be
considered to be acting in the name of the uni-
versity.

f. Some cases will be referred by an individual or
group of individuals independent of Clearing House
review or cosignature, and some will be reviewed or
referred by the Clearing House. Both types of cases
shall receive equal treatment by the adjudicating
body or the appropriate channel.

g. The fact of pending or completed court action
(if known) on any of the primary parties related to
a case should be forwarded with the case referral
form for consideration by the adjudicating body or
other appropriate channel,

4, Quorum: At least three members must be
present at all times in order for the Clearing House
to operate. A 2/3 vote of those members in
attendance is needed for the acceptance of any
motion.

5. Officers: Theré shall be chosen two members of
the Clearing House to chair the meetings tor each of
the two groups which will operate throughout the
year. The chairmen will be responsible for all
operations of the Clearing House, and shall serve in
the capacity of chairman for one year only,

C University Hearing Board,

I, Nature: This board exists to adjudicate charges
lodged against student members of the university
community, It shall be the highest student hearing
board in the judicial system, It also serves as the
appeal board for all lower boards. (Its scope of
review on appeals is described in Section IV, B6), In
addition, the University Hearing Board has original
jurisdiction over disciplinary matters involving all
university community members on university-
owned or operated property, except for those cases
handled by ¢ny lower boards or other appropriate
bodies.

When violation of the Rules and Regulations for
the Maintenance of Public Order has occurred, the
University Hearing Board shall be the hearing body
and shall follow the specific procedures as stated in
the Rules and Regulations for the hearing of such
cases.

2. Composition: In drawing together the repre-
sentation described below, the board will assemble a
bona fide cross-section of the university com

munity.

The board will consist of 18 (eighteen) members,
of which nine will serve at any given time. The
members will work on a rotating basis, and the basic
ratios of membership representation within the 18
individuals selected will remain the same at all
times. If necessary, in times of heavy case loads, two
boards of nine each should operate simultaneously.
Of these 18 members there shall be:

12 students (3 graduate and 9 undergraduate)
appointed jointly by Student Association and
Graduate Student Association

2 teaching faculty chosen by the faculty

2 non-teaching faculty chosen by the faculty

2 classified service personnel chosen by the classi-
fied personnel
Membership within each sub-group should be as
divergent as possible, to afford the greatest scope of
representation.

The board will be appointed in April of each year
for a term beginning in September. Each appointed
member shall serve for one two year term, with one
half of the board changing each year. No person
may serve for two consecutive terms. Provision
should also be made in April of each year for one
nine-member group to serve during the summer
months. No member may serve concomitantly as a
member of the Hearing Board and as a member of
the Clearing House or other hearing or appeal board,

3. Quorum: At least six members must be present
at any time in order to conduct business. A vote on
disciplinary action also requires the participation of
six members,

4. Officers: The 18 members will choose two of its
membership to serve as chairmen of the hearing
boards. The chairmen should serve not more than
one year in that position, Their responsibilities are:

a, Establishing the calendar for hearings

b. Notifying all persons to appear at the hearing,
including other board members

c. Writing all decisions or delegating the responsi-
bility to another board member

d. Signing all decisions

e, Following up on all cases as necessary

f. Presenting orientation sessions each year for
new members

g. Acting along with the Clearing House, keeping
the university community informed about the
judicial system

h. Initiating changes in the system as needed.

There should also be a full-time secretary who
shall serve the hearing board and the appeal board.
The secretary shall maintain all records concerned
with the disciplinary system, and shall assist the
various chairmen of any hearing body or other
appropriate channel with any correspondence re-
lated to the boards.

D. University Appeal Board

1. Nature: The University Appeal Board hears
appeals on student cases from the University Hear-
ing Board (appeals from lower student hearing
boards must first be heard by the University
Hearing Board before they can go to the University
Appeal Board). It will also hear appeals from any
other source except in cases where one of the
campus bargaining units has already begun formal
grievance procedures in accord with provisions of
their contract and the Taylor Law. It has no original
Jurisdiction, Because it is the final arbitrator in
matters of campus, it should be highly sensitive to
and capable of weighing the interest of the person
who has appealed with the interests of the institu-
tion, and should be representative of the various
segments of the university community,

2. Composition: The University Appeal Board

shall consist of:

3 students (1 graduate and 2 undergraduate)
appointed jointly by Student Association and
Graduate Student Association

2 teaching faculty chosen by the faculty

2 non-teaching faculty chosen by the faculty

2 classified service personnel chosen by the classi-

fied service personnel.

Any other persons (up to three additional pro-
visional members) may be added to the University
Appeal Board for specific cases as a majority of the
board deems necessary, Such additional persons
might be named if the case, for example, requires
the knowledge: of an expert ina particular area, or if
the individual lodging the appeal comes from a
constituency within the university which is not
adequately represented on the appeal board.

3. Quorum, Term of Office, Voting procedures
and other procedural questions should follow the
same guideline as for the University Hearing Board.

E, Other Student Judicial Boc

S the Taylor

Law permits, these procedures should also be
followed in hearing cases involving any other mem-
ber of the university community.

a. The calendar for hearings shall be fixed by the
chairman of the Hearing Board after consultation
with the individuals involved in the proceedings.
The chairman shall have the discretion to alter the
calendar for good cause. The date for the hearing
shall be set no later than three working days after
the receipt of the referral forms, and the hearing
itself shall take place no later than ten working days
after receipt of the forms.

b. The hearings shall be conducted in such a
manner as to do substantial justice, and shall not be
unduly restricted by rules of procedure or evidence
(see Section IV, AS).

c. The charges and evidence shall be presented by
the complainant and/or., if the university is the
injured party, by a person designated by the
president of the university to serve such a function.

d. The Hearing Board may address questions to
any party to the proceedings or to any witnesses
called by either party or by the board itself. Any
party may request the cross—examination of other
parties. The chairman may use his discretion and
limit the number of witneseses to be heard.

e. The hearing shall be private if requested by the
person charged, or by the complainant (with suf-
ficient reason), or if disruptions of the proceedings
require it (see Section IV, B3).

f. Right to counsel: See Section IV, B1.

g. A record shall be made of all proceedings at the
hearing except that, on order of the chairman,
procedural matters may be discussed in executive
session. This record shall be available under the
supervision of the chairman to all parties at the
hearing. The deliberations of the board after the
formal hearing of the case shall not be recorded.

h. The chairman shall determine, after con-
sultation with the parties to the proceedings,
whether a summation of one or more aspects of the
case would be helpful to the board.

i. No—appearance at a hearing: see Section IV, BS.

j. The board shall write a report containing the
decisions of the board and the reasons for those
decisons, and have them made available to the
parties in the case.

k. When two or more people are jointly charged
with the same alleged infraction, their hearings will
be held jointly. (Excessively large numbers of
violators may, in the judgment of the hearing board,
jeopardize the fairness and impartiality of the
hearing. In such cases the board may conduct
several hearings in order to reduce the number of
cases heard at one time and in order to restore
fairness and impartiality to the hearing procedure.)
If one or more of these individuals desires a private
hearing while the other(s) desires a public hearing,
the hearing will remain a joint one with the public
being excluded from those portions of the hearing
involving those persons desiring the closed hearing.
(See Section IV, B3)

2. Pre—hearing Disciplinary Action

One of the problems which arises in a university
disciplinary system is the use of prehearing discip-
linary action. In general, the following principle
whould hold in determining any pre—hearing ac-
tion: the individual’s status on campus should not
be altered except when that person’s status re-
presents a danger to his own safety and well—being,
or to the safety and well—being of other students,
faculty, or university property.

In any case where pre—hearing action is seen as
necessary or at least as possible, the alleged violator
should be given the opportunity to be informed of
the offense, of the possibility of pre—hearing action,
and be permitted to make a statement before any
decision is made. A detailed denial of the offense,
supported by names of witnesses would probably
require further investigation. .

In the case of our disciplinary system, the Clearing
House would function as the preliminary hearing
body in all cases, except when a quorum of that
board cannot convene within the time parameters
specified in Section III, B. In this case, pre-hearing
action would be taken with the pre—hearing itself to
be held as soon as possible.

These guidelines pertain also to those violations of
civil or criminal law, other than felonies, in which a
determination must be made as to whether the
accused should be arrested in addition to being
referred within the university disciplinary system.

3. Double Jeopardy

Unlawful action should not preclude or mandate

disciplinary action by both the university discip-
linary system and the courts of law. The focus,
rather, should be on the most effective way of
dealing with the individual(s) inYelved. Since the
same act may violate both university regulations and
the laws of other jurisdictions, both the courts and
the university have the right to adjudicate such a
case. This is not double jeopardy. Double jeopardy
occurs only when the courts of a given jurisdiction
try a person more than once for the same violation.

The university’s concern is not double jeopardy in
such cases, but rather a concern for unnecessary
duplication of punishments. Unless the interests of
the university or of any member of the university
are implicated in some way, prosecution should not
take place within the university. The university
should also avoid employing diverse channels of
action where there has been essentially one offense,
if that one offense can be handled effectively by the
University Hearing Board.

4. The Transcript

A record shall be made of all proceedings of the
hearing, except as specified by the chairman (see
Section IVA, Ig). In the event that a written
transcript of the record is requested by either the
defendant or complainant (e.g., for the purpose of
preparing an appeal), the cost of such a transcript
shall be borne by the individual making the request.

5. Rules of Evidence

Although rules of evidence need not be followed
in university disciplinary hearings, it is suggested
that standards of relevance and materiality be
maintained in order to preclude the utilization of
unreliable information. The hearing board must base
its decision on substantial evidence, and only on
evidence presented during the hearing. In keeping
with the standard of fundamental fairness, it is
acceptable to permit charged persons to testify
concerning moral justifications, motives, and rea-
sons for their acts, in order to assist in the
determination of the appropriate sanction.

Any past infractions which are on record within
the files of the hearing board and/or presented to
the board during the hearings or the deliberations
by be used to determine the sanctions which are the
most appropriate to the charges for which in
individual has been brought to the hearing.

6. Publication of Decisions

Once a decision has been made by a hearing board,
the results of the proceedings must be made
available in writing to the defendant, with copies
available to the complainant and to any other
persons who took part in the hearing of the case.
Any member of the hearing board or appeal board
may attach a minority report to the final report of
the board. Such minority reports, along with the
final report, may be used by the complainant or
defendant in developing an appeal.

Where a hearing is open to the public, any
interested community members or groups may view
a copy of the decision. However, it shall be within
the power of the hearing board to determine the
validity of motives for requests of results of the
hearing, and to have the power to keep confidential
from the public any information which it feels will
not be used in a manner consistent with the
principles of the judicial system. An example of
circumstances which might lead to a decison to
restrict the availablity of information would be: a
case arises in shich testimony reveals highly confid-
ential information related to psychological problems
of the involved individual(s). Public access to these
facts could only be detriment to the individual(s)
concerned.

Periodic notice should be distributed throughout
the university stating the results of recent hearings.
This information should be general, giving no names
and only the types of cases and the results. The
purpose for publication of this infomation is to
inform the university community as to the workings
of the judicial system.

7. Other Recognized Procedures for Adjudication
of Cases

Pursuant to the Taylor Law, the following pertain:

a. Faculty members, or professional staff not in
the classified service of the civil service: charges of
misconduct in violation of the rules of the univer-
sity shall be made, heard, and determined in
accordance with Title D of Part 338 of the Policies
of the Board of Trustees. Those found guilty of
misconduct may be susbject to dismissal or termin-
ation of employment or such lesser disciplinary
action as the facts may warrant including suspension
without pay or censure.

b. Staff members in the classified service of the
civil service: charges of misconduct in violation of
the rules of the university shall be made, heard and
determined in accordance with Section 75 of the
Civil Service Law. Those found guilty of misconduct
may be subject to the penalties prescribed in said
section.

Any other faculty or staff member of the univer-
sity community found guilty of misconduct by a
recognixed university hearing body shall be dis-
missed, suspended, or censured by the appointing
authority prescribed in the Policies of the Board of
Trustees.

For all procedures as recognized above by the
university in the adjudication of cases, criteria for
due process as outlined in Section [V must apply.

B. The Individual

1. The Right to Council

Any individual charged with misconduct has the
right to be advised at the hearing by anyone of his
choice, including a lawyer, but he must represent
himself. To have an advisor or a lawyer speak for
any parties concerned with a case would escalate the
nature of the hearing to something approximating a
legal trial. Because the hearing is being conducted
within the university by a community hearing body,
and not in a court of law, the speedy and informal
characteristics associated with the hearing are pre-
ferred over a legal atmosphere. The system is not
intended for legal adversaries to use as a “battle
ground” but for members of the same community
to decide what is best for the accused and for the
community. Trained, paid attorneys would add
little to this.

The University Hearing Board will attempt to
maintain a file of faculty and staff as well as
interested students, who would be willing to assist a
complainant or defendant in any case which comes
before the hearing bodies. Such advisors, like
lawyers, have the reight to be present during a
hearing, but as in the case of lawyers, will not be
permitted to speak for either complainant or de-
fendant.

This restriction on lawyers and/or advisors within
the hearing itself in no way restricts the right to

counsel and representation outside the hearing
room.

2. Self Incrimination

An individual has the right at a university
disciplinary hearing not to incriminate himself, and
he may not be punished solely for asserting this
right. In claiming the right to refuse to answer
questions, the individual is asserting his right not to
disclose information which could be used to incri-
minate himself further.

3. Private and Public Hearings

As a general rule, hearings should be open to any
member of the university community. In asserting
this stance, the university is acknowledging the
validity of public hearings when they insure obser-
vers that justice is done, when more university
community members may view the judicial process,
when community members may make comparisons
between cases, and when possible suspicions of
special treatment and/or prejudice are tested.

Although hearings are generally open to the
public, requests for press coverage by local news
media should be directed to the hearing board for
approval. In general, still or television cameras,
lights or electronic recordings will not be permitted
during any hearing, public or private.

The hearing board begins, then, with the assump-
tion of an open hearing. It can proceed to change
this in view of one or more of the following
circumstances:

a, the accused requests it.

b. The complainant requests it (with sufficient
reason)

c. disruptions of the proceedings require it.

The closing of the hearings to the public would in
each case be ordered only when needed to insure a
fair and impartial hearing. It is vital that the rights
of cooperating community members be preserved.

4, Group Hearings

It is recommended that group hearings be held in
cases where a number of individuals are involved in
the same alleged infraction, and where the facts of
involvement are identical. Group hearings are favor-
ed under these specific circumstances in order to
assure greater objectivitiy on the part of the
members of the hearing board. The provision guards
against a tendency to use the first case as a
precedent in hearing the other cases which follow,

PAGE 12

JUDICIAL PROPOSAL

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1971

when the facts are
basically alike, It also allows alk
defendants to presént their cases,
retains fairness to all parties, and
retains the context of the
incident within which the alleged
infraction(s) took plac e. See
Section IVA, Ik for additional
information,

Group hearings by no means

predispose the hearing board to
render the same judgment for
each defendant. Each shall be
judged on the facts of his/her
particiaption in the incident, and
not by the actions of éthers who
were involved.

In the case where one or more
of the defendant requests a
private hearing while the othere
desire a public hearing, the public
would only be excluded during
the testimony or cross—examina-
tion of those requesting the
private hearing, (See Section IVA,
Ik and Section IV, B3),

5. Non—appearance

Section Id requires that all
parties, inclding the accused,
must appear before a hearing
board when summoned, or give
reasonable cause for their
absense. The appearance of the
defendant at the hearing in which
he is accused, however, is not
necessary in order for the
proceedings to be fair and in
keeping with due process. The
-only necessary condition for a
fair hearing is the opportunity to
be heard. This implies that the
pperson(s) involved must be
informed of the charges and the
possible consequences and has
been given the opportunity to
attend a hearing.

Non—appearance of the
defendant should never be caused
by the establishment of an
inconvenient hearing calendar.
Alternative dates should be
available. If, within reason, the
defendant has been given viable
alternatives to the date of his
hearing, and there is still no
mutually agreed—upon time and
date, the hearing board may
proceed to fix the date of the
hearing. A three—working day
advance notification to the
defendant should be issued, along
with a statement that the hearing
will proceed whether or not the
defendant is present.

Non—appearance does not mean
that the appropriate procedures
need not be followed in hearing
evidence, weighing facts, and
rendering judgment. In addition,
the non—appearance of one party
does not prevent the appearance
of any other individual associated
with the case, Non—appearance
(except in violation of Section
Mid) shall not be considered as a
valid justification for the
imposition of disciplinary
penalties.

Under the conditions of
non—appearance, the defendant
does not admit guilt, nor does he
waive his rights to due process.
He simply implieS by his absence
and his negative answer to the
summons that he will not
participate in the hearing process,
In doing so, he does not lose the
right to appeal (based on
inadequacy of process or severity
of punishment, not on
mon—appearance)), and he does not
lose the right to a transcript of
the proceedings.

6. The Right of Appeal

a. Both defendant and
complainant have the right to
appeal the decision of a hearing
body.

b. An appeal of the decision of
the hearing board must be
submitted to the appeal board
within seven calendar days of
receipt of the decision of the
hearing board. This appeal must
be in writing,

c. An appeal, when accepted by
the appeal board, must be based
upon one of the following issues:

1) Questions of procedure at
the hearing which involve due
process

2) Was the evidence sufficiently
strong to justify a decision?

3. Was the sanction imposed in
keeping with the gravity of the
wrongdoing?

4) Appearance of substantive
new evidence related to the case,

d, The appeal board may accept
the original decision of the
hearing board, may reverse the
hearing board’s decsion and
return the case to that board for a
further hearing, may reverse the
hearing board’s decison and
dismiss the case, or may reduce
the sanctions imposed, They may
not, however, increase the
sanctions imposed,

If the appeal board accepts the
decision of the hearing board the
matter is deemed final, except
that either party may petition the
president of the university for a
new hearing. In cases where the
president grants the petition for a
new hearing, he may conduct the
hearing himself or designate the
individual(s) who will hear the
case. The accuse, additionally, has
the right to petition the original
hearing board to reopen the case
upon discovery of new evidence.
The hearing board will judge the
sufficiency for the new evidence,
and no appeal can be taken for its
decision.

Normally the appeal board
reviews the written record from
the hearing board in determining
whether to accept the request for
an appeal, or in actually hearing
an appeal. However, the appeal
board may ask for an oral
presentation concerning the
grounds for appeal, and may-also
ask for rebuttal statments from
the hearing board, The appeal
board should invite the chairman
of the hearing board to be present
at appeal hearings, to clarify the
actions or decision of the hearing
board.

e. Hearings of lower boards,
appealed to the hearing board,
terminate at the hearing board
level

V. DISCIPLINARY ACTION

A, Sanctions

The most important principles
which should guide hearing bodies
in choosing sanctions are:

a. Relevance to the gravity of
the offense, .

b, Relevance to the area of
activity or circumstances in which
the offense occurred (i.¢., resi-
dence halls, parking lot, etc.).

The following sanctions are the
official university sanctions which
may be used by the hearing board
by the appeal board, Addi-
I sanctions which apply to

tie

faculty and staff are noted in

Section IV, A7.

1, Admonition, An oral state-
ment to the offender that he has
violated a university rule.

2. Censure. Written reprimand
for violation of specific
regulations, including note of the
possibility that more severe
disciplinary action could occur in
the event ofconfirmed violation of
any other - university regulation.
The censure should contain a
specific period during which the
censure is in effect.

3. Disciplinary Probation.
Exclusion from participation in
privileges or activities as set forth
in the notice of disciplinary
probation. The length of
probation should be stated in the
notice of such action,

4. Disciplinary removal from
residences. Exclusion from the
residence halls for a specified
amount of time. This action will
involve forfeiture of all room
and/or board charges,

5. Restitution, Reimbursement
for damage to or misappropriation
of university property or of
property under - university
administration and/or supervision,
or of property of a member of the
university community while such
property is on university premises.

6, Disciplinary hold on records
and/or right to register for classes,
Action taken as an assurance that
other conditions of disciplinary
action are met.

7. Incorporation of notice of
any official sanction into the
academic transcript and/or the
official sanction into the academic
transcript and/or the official
personnel folder of the individual,

8. Suspension. Exclusion from
classes and other privileges or
activities as set forth in the notice
of suspension, The length of
suspension should be stated in the
notice of such action, as should
conditions for readmission, if any.

9, Expulsion, Termination of a
person’s status at the university
for an indefinite period,

B, Expulsion and Suspension

Explusion should be used only
in the most serious cases where no
amount of rehabilitation would
warrant reconsideration of the
individual’s status within the
community, Sanctions such as
“suspension - term’ and
“suspension - conditional” are
recommended in place of
expulsion in order to give the
greatest latitude to the individual
and the future improvement of
his/her ability to function within
the university.

C, Return to the Community

The process of gaining
readmission to the university after
the individual has completed the
terms of a particular disciplinary
action is as follows:

1, Expulsion, Readmission must
be requested first through the
hearing board or other
adjudicatory body which first
imposed the sanction of
expulsion. Since any petition for
return would be extraordinary,
since no provision would
ordinarily be made for the
person’s return to the community,
and since no guidelines for the
racess should exist, such a
n should be direcied io the
person or persons most likely to
exercise competent judgment over
the petition for readmission, The
judgment: of the group which
imposed the sanction should carry

primary weight with the person or
persons- who would then review
the application for readmission.

2, Suspension,

a. Term: The individual is
automically readmissable by the
proper authority to the first
regular semester after the
completion of his/her term of
suspension. No disciplinary review
is needed,

b. Conditional: The board which
suspended the individual must
review the petition for
readmission, This petition should
contain evidence supplied by the
individual that he had fulfilled the
conditions of the suspension, If a
simple majority of the board
agrees that the conditions have
been met, they would authorize
the readmission, The petition for
readmission would at this point
then be treated as any other
petition for readmission,

3. Removal from Residences.
This sanction may also be
imposed for a term or with
conditions, and petitions for
readmission to the residence halls
should be handled in a manner
similar to suspensions, with the
appropriate administrative office
in this case being the Office of
Residences,

VI. MAINTENANCE OF
CONDUCT RECORDS

The university’s policy of record
keeping in disciplinary matters
should always be in accord with
the gravity of the offense, and its
long term effect on the individual,
The university shall provide that
minor disciplinary matters, or
matters which relate more to
Personal growth patterns rather

than to deep-rooted personality
flaws will not be permanently
tecorded, If a hearing body
determines that a disciplinary
matter is of sufficient importance
to appear in the individual's
official record, an adequate
explanation should be attached.
The following provisions will be
followed in the regulation of
conduct records,

In cases
involving members of local
bargaining units, contractual

agreements on the maintenance of
tecords shall also apply,

A. Each hearing body shall
maintain in a central location
shaved by ali hearing bodies a set
of records consisting of all the
official material which has been
assembled during the hearing of
each case. These records will be

destroyed two calendar years after

the specific sanctions imposed as a
result of the hearing of a
particular case have beeen met
(i.e., if an individual is
reprimanded on 1/1/70, his/her
files will be destroyed on 1/1/72. If
a person is placed on probation
for two years, his/her records will
be destroyed two years after those
two years of probation have been
fulfilled),

B, It shall be the function of the
chairman of each hearing body to
maintain the records related to
his/her -hearing body, and to
authorize their use.

C, There shall be nothing in an
individual’s record of hearing(s)
which he/she has not seen, nd
each person shall have access to
his/her own record (subject to
reasonable regulations as to time,
place, and supervision).

D. Any person wishing to
challenge the accuracy of any
entry in his/her record of
hearing(s) may do so by appealing
to the board which maintains this
record,

E, Except with the prior written
consent to the person involved, no
information in any such record
may be released to any individual
or group other than another
hearing body or individual within
the university which/who is
concerned with hearing a case in
which the individual is accused of
a violation, Individuals or groups
concerned with hearing a case
where a witness or a complainant
in a former case is now the
accused will be denied access to
the records of the former case,

F. If, as a result of the hearing
of a case, the hearing body
determines that some record
should be placed in the
individual’s permanent file, this
determination must be in writing
as part of the decision on the case.
The information would then be
sent to the appropriate dean or
vice president for inclusion in the
permanent file. Individuals for
whom disciplinary action did not
include the placement of a record
of the case in the permanent file
should be considered as having no
disciplinary record within
university,

G, The parents of any minors
involved in disciplinary
should not be informed of any
disciplinary action except for that
of suspension or expulsion, or
major alteration in college-related
expenses (i.c., requirement to give
Testitution for extensive damage,
removal from residences),

You worked hard for that new car of yours. Now all you've
got to do is take care of it. Part of it’s using the right
gasoline. Amocoe. The type most new car owner

manuals recommend.

Amoco is specially formulated for your new car's anti-

pollution engine. Made to help it run better, longer. And

Amoco can double the life of your tail pipe and muffler
compared to fully leaded gasolines; spark plugs last

longer, too.

Amoco Super-Premium gives you all these benefits plus

better mileage than other premiums. It’s the only anti-
pollution premium gasoline you can buy.

That's one reason why more new car buyers switch to
Amoco and other gasolines at American than any

other brand.

So now that you've got that new car, use the gasoline

you can count on.

You expect more from American and you get it.

Booters Finish Dismal Season; Hoopsters to Start
Dumped 6-3 by New Paliz

by Bruce Maggin

The Albany Great Dane Soccer
team concluded a disastrous soc-
cer season last Saturday, as they
lost to New Paltz 6-3.

The Danes showed some sus-
tained offense for the first time in
a while. This was only the second
time this season Albany scored
three or more goals. For Albany,
Carlos Alvarez scored twice, fin-
ishing the season with five goals,
and George Keleshian scored
once. New Paltz’s 6 goals were
scored by six different players as
they tallied four times in the first
half. This game left Albany with a
record of 1-5 in SUNY conference
play,

The Booters finished the season
with an overall record of 2-9, This
set an Albany record of most
losses in one season surpassing last
year’s record eight losses.

The Danes record over the last
decade is a measly 30-56, with
only one winning season. One of
the reasons for this mediocrity is
Albany’s lack of recruiting, Al-
bany awards no scholarships to
soccer players and all the players
must meet the academic standards
of the university, Coach Bill
Schieffelin said that he lost a few
boys who could have played with
the soccer team but they could
not meet the academic require-
ment to be accepted, In order to
improve the soccer team, the
coaching staff must convince
quality soccer players to come to

Albany next year. Also some

players from the Junior Varsity
must be found to play with the
varsity team.

The major problem that must be
corrected for next season is Al-
bany’s lick of offense. The Danes
scored a meager 14 goals this
season and were shutout 3 times.
The opposition scored 32 goals.

The Great Dane Soccer team
stands around after a final game
loss to New Paltz, 6-3, which
gratefully ended a poor season,

Upset Army Cadets, 6-4:

by Stuart Shalat

In only their third year of play,
the Albany State J.V,'Sdccer team
ended their season on a winning
note and with a winning record
with a shattering upset of the
West Point Cadets by a score of
5-i at West Point Wednesday.

Coach Don Prozik’s team, which
has had stunning offense this year
Posting thirty one goals in ten
ames, surprised the physically
strong Army defense, and he gave
the Pups a 6-4 record,

The scoring got underway for
Albany with twenty-five seconds
left in the first period off the foot
of Mick Walker, the first of his
four goals in the game, The Dane
Pups took a 2-0 lead into the half
with a score in the second period,

In the beginning of the third
period Army came back strong,
but the State defense held. At
16:25, and just two minutes later
at 18:25, Walker put the game
almost out of reach, 4-0. The

Cadets came back part of the way
twenty-five seconds of the fourth

quarter, with a goal, but again the
Albany defense tightened up and
at 10:23 Mario Fleurant scored on
an assist from Walker to end the
scoring and the game.

Throughout the season the Dane
Pups saw fine offensive perfor-
mances form their front line, Out-
standing at left wing was Leon
Sedefian (soph,) with four goals
and twelve assists, Leading scorer
was Eduardo Ordonez with eight
goals and two assists.

Albany seems to play too conser
vative,. Perhaps a more wide open

style of play would greatly aid
Albany’s meek offense, it is

hoped that the 3 goals last Satur-
day was a start for more offensive
punch next year. For Coach
Schieffelin, he has a great deal of
work to do to build the soccer
team into a contender.

Rebuilding Season

by Bill Heller

The biggest. question facing
Basketball coach Dr. Richard
Savers, is, “Can this year’s team
match the excellence of last
year’s?” Dr, Sauers, starting his
17th year as Albany basketball
coach, will have his work cut out
for him, First of all, the °70’71
Great .Danes accumulated an im-
pressive 17-5 record that led to
their being rated fifth in the final
New York State College Division
poll, This included winning the
last 10 games in a row. Add to
that, the loss of four starters, and
you can perceive the situation.

Missing from this year’s edition
of the Hoopsters will be co-
captains Jack Jordan (15.8
average) and Alan Reid (11.7) at
forward, center Steve Sheehan
(9.0)' and guard Jim Masterson
(9.5); That leaves Captain John
Quattrocchi, at guard, as the only
returning starter,

However, Quattrocchi brings
with him some . impressive
statistics. As a sophomore last

year, he averaged 13,7 ‘points a
game, and scored over 20 points
in four games, With four starting
berths open, this is how it looks
so far. Don Joss (6’3”), who
started a few games last year,

appears to have the inside track at
center.

The forward problem will prob-
ably be solved by Werner Kolin
(6’4”), a returning letterman, and
sophomores Reggie Smith (6’2”),
and Byron Miller (6°2”). Smith
and Miller both averaged over 10
points for the freshman team last
year, Junior letterman Dave Wel-
chons (6’2”) is a good bet for the
other guard, *

Sauers feels that the team that
gets the most good shots will win
ballgames, To make sure that the
team will do this,he will employ
sueh tacties as an aggressive man
to man defense, a full court zone
press, and a set offense allowing a
lot of two on two plays and
requiring the players to think on
their own, “The players will have
to think quickly on their feet, and
react quickly,” ‘Although there is
a lack of big rebounders to initiate
the fast break, Dr, Sauers will still
have his team running,

This year’s schedule is a tough
one, with the roughest com-
petition likely to come from Hart-
wick, Brockport, and SUNY at
Buffalo. This year’s team is
young, with only three seniors,
and a little green, but is the type
of team that will improve game by
game.

Forget a Winning Season:
Danes Blanked 3-0 by HVCC

by Bill Heller

The Great Dane defense was up to the challenge,
but for the second straight week, it was the Albany
offense that was the main cause for what should
have been an important win, Albany completely
shut off the highly touted Hudson Valley Com-
munity College’s passing attack, but succumbed to
their own miscues and an early field goal, to be
edged 3-0,

The win ended HVCC’s season at 7-2, and left
Albany 3-4, going into their last game, home against
Pace, this Saturday.

What turned out to be the winning score was the
result of one of six Albany turnovers, as Steve
Slagen picked off a Bill Flanagan aerial, and
returned it to the Dane 29, Albany held on their 11,
but Fred Kiefer booted a 26-yard field goal to
make it 3-0, just before the first quarter ended,

The rest of the game was a multitude of offensive
drives, by both teams, ‘that always fell short, The

Great Dane defense held on its 34 twice, its 30,8,
and 15 yard line, on five different occasions.

On the other hand, Albany missed no less than
four golden opportunities to get'on the scoreboard,
The Danes fumbled twice, deep in Hudson Valley
territory. In the first quarter, they lost the ball on
the HV 25 and in the last period, they gave it up on
the enemy 31. They also ran out of downs on the
HV 26, late in the game, and Vinnie Pierce missed a
15 yard field goal, just before halftime.

A look at the stats reveals that both passing
attacks were anemic, The Albany secondary caused
many dropped balls by their ferocious hitting.
However, the Danes were even worse in the air,
They completed 4-15, for 50 yards and had three
interceptions. Carvin Payne’s 86 yards for 23 carries
led the Great Danes.

The game was the lowest point total for Hudson
Valley all season, and it marked Albany,s first
shutout since last year. Once again, a credit to the
Dane defense, and as far as the Albany offense...

Thoughts on Trends

by Mike Igoe

Judging by the rapidity that area
films are coming and going lately
once the sudden shift in the
subject material prevailing from
week to week, it would seem that
theater owners are conducting an
experiment to determine what
kind of market they’re catering
to.

Two weeks ago the film fare
consisted primarily of mature au-
dience, sex-geared films such as
How to Succeed with Sex, Ginger,
The Minx, The Female, and even a
few horror thrillers: Let’s Scare
Jessica to Death, I Drink Your
Blood, and I Eat Your Skin. Last
week the offerings leaned more
towards a general audience. West
Side Story, Plaza Suite, Love
Story, Doctor Zhivago, Walk-
about, Cactus Flower, and Patton
fell into this category. A glance at
the theater pages this week reveals
a mixed slate of presentations.

This observation might bring to
mind some questions concerning
the cinema. Why is it that some
movies which you'd like to see
take off when they’ve just arrived
in town? Why do others that have
been shown for umpteen numbers
of times seem to linger on? What
determines the caliber of the
flicks? A -closer look behind the
scenes discloses that many factors
are involved. Some local theater
managers rendered a variety of
comments on the whys of what
viewers see.

Mr. Arthur Bowell manager of
the Fox Colonie Theater explain-
ed that his movie house, part of a
national chain, carried first run
movies as a rule. He pointed out
that the class of these shows was
determined by public response.
Mr. Bowell added that publicity
will always make a film whether it
be excellent or of a very poor
quality. “Many sex films got as far
as they did because they received
so much publicity. I Am Curious
(Yellow) is a good example of
this. It got a tremendous response
throughout the country.”

Mrs. Betty Turnbell manager of
the Cinema 7 in Latham agrees
that publicity determines how
long a show will stay. Mrs. Turn-
bell claimed that publicity, parti
ularly word of mouth, helped to
make hits of films that played
there such as Bob & Carol & Ted
& Alice, Kama Sutra, and their
current hit, The Summer of ‘42.

Mr. George Stowell. manager of
the Madison Theater said that a
big response to a particular film
helps to explain why some films

are played many times over in
various area show places. Mr. Sto-
well cited the eight week run of
Klute at the Madison and the fact
that Klute enjoyed runs in several
other area theaters as an example.

In regard to the type of movies
being produced, once again it
seems that the general public is
largely responsible. For when
there is a major response to a
certain type of film, movie com-
panies rush to make imitations of
the successful product. As Associ-
ated Press drama writer William
Glover put it, “there are countless
numbers of unreleased ‘ Easy Ri-
ders’ rotting away in the can.”

Thus, we can make ourselves felt
on the type of movies we want to
see by not patronizing inferior
quality films. You might be in-
clined to say to yourself , “What
can I do? I’m just one person.”
However, if we all take this view,
the effect can be substantial. This
has already been evidenced by the
large grosses of Love Story at the
box office. Here people have
clearly indicated they want a re-
turn to more conventional movies
and less sexual slop. Also, the
major Hollywood film companies
have announced they won’t be
making any more X movies, at
least not for the present.

Even on a local level here in
Albany, the public mood has in-
fluenced the policies of some of
the theaters, A theater manager
who wished to remain anonymous
claimed poor response in this area
helped to clean out the sex mark-
ets here. The manager of the Tri
City Twin Drive In, Mr. Rapp,
firmly stated that his theater will
not show X-rated movies or as Mr.
Stowell put it, “by comparison
nationwide. Albany is a much
different city.” A fact to which
I’m sure Mr, Goodman will agree.

THE TOTAL FILM-MAKER
(Random House) is a book by and
about Jerry Lewis the movie-
maker, but is most interesting in
the insights it gives into Jerry
Lewis the man. Culled from lec-
tures he gave while teaching a film
course at U.S.C, (which certainly
gives one pause) the book is sloppy
and poorly organized, repetitious
and often incoherent; nevertheless
it is a useful look at a little boy
who truly never grew up.

I personally can’t abide Lewis.
While I applaud his efforts as a
humanitarian, and not having met
the man I know nothing of his
off-screen personality (although as
with Streisand one can make some
good guesses); nevertheless his

The

films I find by and large dreadful:
as funny as the proverbial crutch.
To be sure he has his good mo-
ments—the first half hour of THE
ERRAND BOY is, I think, as
funny as anything ever put on
celluloid—but both his acting and
directing have a depressing air of
familiarity about them, as if we’ve
seen it all before, and done better.
Moreover, all of the Lewis efforts
I've seen (and I shudder at their
number) seem to degenerate into
a kind of desperate, ultra-
hysterical slapstick in which Lewis
begs for a laugh in much the same
way a dispossessed. goldfish
screams for water. Ultimately this
provokes acute embarrassment
rather than prolonged laughter.
Lewis doesn’t seem to think so.
Only once in his 208 pages does
he come close to admitting that
he has “made some bad comedy:””
and even then he blames it on too
many broad facial expressions (if
only the answer were as simple as
that!), What’s more surprising is
that many ‘critics; especially in
Europe, don’t think so either—I
refer of course to the auteur
school of criticism. (For those
unfamiliar, I will discuss the au-
teur critics in a later article; for
the moment let me say that they

are of the violent opinion that
every film must have the mark of
an “author,” that is, one who is in
total artistic control). French eri-
tics have twice voted Lewis Best
Foreign Director of the Year,
which really says more about
those critics than it does about
Lewis.

What I do want to emphasize is
that one’s opinion of Jerry Lewis
is not irrelevant to an appreciation
of his book. THE TOTAL FILM-
MAKER, besides presenting many
practical details involved in the
production of a movie (his chap-
ter on financing is particularly
interesting), raises serious, fas-
cinating questions about the men-
tality of those before and behind
the camera, Lewis, of course, in
particular.

The impression of the author
which the book, inadvertently or
not, leaves with the reader is that

Subjective

of a complex, intense, ego-
maniacal individual whose com-
pulsion for learning all there is to
know is at once admirable and
terrifying. Occasionally he dis-
plays ignorance phenominal for
one who has been in show busi-
ness so long. He says: “Some
directors have wonderful tricks
and devices for pulling per-
formances. Norman Taurog is an
expert. When he wanted to make
me cry, he’d take me into a corner
and ask me to think about what
would happen if my little boy was
hit by a truck.” Tricks and devices
indeed! Relating part of a scene to
one’s own feelings and experi-
ences is one of the fundamental
precepts of acting, as the most
inexperienced performer knows.
Earlier in the book he seems to
pride himself on his ignorance (he
defensively states that he is going
to use a word—‘humanities”—
wrong deliberately, “no matter
what the word purists say,” when
it would be just as easy to find a
synonym) and then displays a
kind of reverse snobbism: “I’m
getting (in my films) to those who
probably don’t have the mentality
to understand what the hell A
MAN FOR ALL SEASONS is all
about.” N.B. If any reader could
not figure out what that film was
all about, please let me know, I'll
be stunned.

But as I say, Lewis does have a
compulsion to learn. He mentions
how, when he was merely acting,
he could never be found for
shooting, always looking through

nooks and crannies of sound
stages to pick up knowledge.
(What costly delays this practice
caused is not mentioned). Lewis
works hard at his craft, believes in
it, and honestly feels he has some-
thing to say in his films. This is, I
imagine, the feeling of most direc-
tors; and it is refreshing to hear it
spoken so directly and with such
emotion. In the arts, dedication,
belief, and hard work are abso-
lutely essential. Lewis swears by
all three, so in this respect, at
least, I must admire him.

It would take one far better
versed in psychology than I to
completely fathom Jerry Lewis’s
self-portrait in his book. Ido feel,
however, that he was undoubtedly
born sixty years too late. He and
his art are anachronisms, throw-
backs to the days when a pie in
the face was a novelty and uncon-

the last word on Lewis, who may
have told us more about himself
than he ever suspected—or wanted

The two nuns in the front row were rather surprised to find Marcello
painting a scantily clad model instead of the Red Sea. There’s no
doubt about it, La Boheme in the Frank Corsaro version, presented
this weekend by Capital Artists, puts those members of the audience
used to more traditional performances in minor shock. The Corsaro
version updates the story from 1830 to 1919, and makes those
loveable young male chauvanists Rudolfo, Marcello, Colline and
Schaunard, Americans in Paris post World War I. For those uninitiated
to the joys and frustrations of opera it makes a fine primer; the four
lads drink, wench and rip-off their landlord in true contemporary
style. When the Corsaro version is done well as it was in Lake George
this summer, it is tremendously enjoyable. Unfortunately, the Capital
Artists production was only mediocre. Joan Spain was pathetically
un-vivacious as the grand C. T. Musetta. She sang well enough, but she
had all the vibrancy of a dead fish. Schaunard, as played by David
Aldrich, acted poorly and sang weakly. He just did not come across as
a young World War I veteran. You got the feeling he might have spent
the war as a colonel forced to latrine duty. The chorus, to put it
mildly, was terrible. They were off key and out of phase with
conductor Kurt Saffir more than they were correct. They, too, were
lifeless.

Now that I have played the venous-spitting critic, let me mention
some of the good. Theodore Morrill was an excellent Rudolfo,
professional in every way. He even acted like he meant it. Eileen Bush,
as Mimi was equally as fine. Acts III and IV, which are mostly Mimi
and Rudolfo, were excellent. Also, SUNY A’s Joel ‘Acosti of Captain
Hood fame, made his debut as Benoit, the horny landlord. Hoel had
the best baritone voice in the company, and once they get away from
the “let’s give the kid a break” attitude evident in the program, he’ll
be one of their biggest assets.

The Capital Artists should be commended for their efforts to bring
opera to the people; there is no question about that. The addition of a
good orchestra, however, does not make the company. The produc-
tion was entertaining, and the two romantic leads good enough, but
for God’s sake, get rid of that chorus.

Some truly innovative theatrical techniques were
employed in the Experimental Theatre’s fine pro-
duction of Tennessee Williams’ The Purification.

Director W.C. Doscher included a brief note on
what was being done with this play in the program.
He ‘explains,“What you are seeing tonight is the
culmination of six weeks work with the theatre
techniques of Konstanten Staniscauski and Jerzy
Grotowski.””

I found the type of theatre that was used (the
second floor Lab Theatre in the PAC) to be a very
effective instrument. Granted, the room looks more
like a vacant ‘warehouse than a theatre in the
traditional sense of the word. But this type of
atmosphere can lend a communal feeling which can
be invaluable in terms of giving the audience a sense
of unity with the production. i

I found some of the effects, though, to be poorly
thought out and somewhat inconsistent. The plot,
ideally, allowed for a break in the intensity in the
form of some music and merriment sandwiched into
the confrontation of a man with his lover’s mur-

derer. This break featured folks going into the
audience with offerings of ladles filled with water.
‘The mood was supposed to be one of relief, and the
kids who brought you water looked friendly. But
the lighting was kept at the same dimly-lit level, and
the violin player was playing sounds which were not
any more happy than the mood of just a few
minutes before. A little more consistency of mood
might have done to make things seem more
“‘together.””

The performances were good. Robert Chanin
knew exactly when to turn the energy on and off.
His ability to be restrained yet definitive in his
emotions provided a sense of “believability” which
is so important, Even during the vivacious oratorios
of Alan Herman’s portrayal of Rossania, I found my
attention drawn to Bob. Alan’s acting was alive, and
worked. I just wish he'd learn how to “die” a little
better.

All in all, Experimental theatre is a nice thing to
do on weekends. I have a feeling a lot of people will
start getting into it on a regular basis. I hope so,
anyway. Some really fine things can happen there.

A Continual Saga:
‘Great Gate Rip-Off

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1971

Nov. 19 10-3 in

by Steve Salant

A new student activity is sweeping the campus.
No, it’s not mumblypeg or tiddlywinks. It entails
breaking down and collecting the electric gates
located on State and Colonial Quads. This is what is
known as “The Great Gate Rip-off.”

Although the gates are usually up during the night
and on weekends, students often take it upon
themselves to facilitate their entrance during the
day. A group of students will pull the gate until it
snaps. This is legally classified as criminal mischief
and its consequences could be a jail sentence or a
fine. Security feels that it is not necessary to impose
such harsh penalties for this action and it generally
will make the student just pay for the damage. Only
once was a student arrested, and this occurred
because he allegedly started to harrass the officers
who caught him,

Students who participate in this activity may not
always pick up the gates and bring them home, but
passersby will often take them. Students often
consider them a “trophy” and feel that they will
add a little life to their otherwise “drab” rooms.
The “Great Gate Rip-off” is not just limited to
students. Truck drivers making deliveries to the
university like to play this game. Their reasons can
only be guessed at as expediency.

This activity should not be taken lightly. Its causes
range from student pranks to malicious destruction.
The Colonial Quad gate, according to security, was
completely, destroyed by an axe or a crowbar. The
two gates (Colonial and State) have been broken
approximately 40 times much to the dismay of
security and to the expense of students. The charge
to a student who breaks a gate is $40.00.

Academic Calendars Discussed

The 1972-73 calendar was the
focus of a meeting held an hour
prior to special University Senate
meeting Monday afternoon,
Senators and other interested
persons attending discussed the
various internal and external con-
straints upon calendar prepara-
tion, three models for the fall
semester and four models for the
spring semester were presented.

Calendar preparation is restric-
ted by ‘‘internal parameters”
ranging from the effect on the
quality of the academic program
to deadlines for adding and drop-
ping courses to dates for opening
and closing residences to various
administrative considerations, The
chancellor’s mandated 30-week in-
struction period for an academic
year is one of the external con-

among staff; to improve the al-
location of space and staff assign-
ments; to begin a cutback and
modification of existing programs;
and to offer no new faculty
openings for 1972. “Apparently
no program will be better off in
the future than at present,” said
Sirotkin,

Sirotkin referred to a letter from
President Benezet to SUNY Chan-
cellor Ernest Boyer calling for an
increase in interdisciplinary pro-
grams, including environmental
studies, an increase that Sirotkin
noted probably will not be
allowed,

Other proposals within SUNY
for this university include a three-
year bachelor’s degree, being re-
viewed by the Undergraduate
Academic Council and due for
future Senate consideration,
Support for the three-year pro-
gram will have to come from

external sources such as the De-
partment of Health, Education
and Welfare in Washington and
from private sources like the Car-
negie Foundation.

Enrollment Figures

The current enrollment here is
13,905 students,by a head-count.
This figure compares with a Sep-
tember 1970 head-count of
13,240, Full time enrollment cur-
rently lists 12,200 students, com-
pared with a 1970 FTE of 11,497.

Estimated 1972 figures set the
head-count at 14,935, but that
number may be later revised, The
figure is based upon the assump-
tion that 1,600 freshmen and 900
transfers will enter next year. The
1972 total breaks down into
9,435 undergraduates and 5,500
graduate students, a net increase
of 800 graduate students.

straints, as are the policy of no
exams, registrations or convoca-
tions on major religious holydays;
public opinion of a month-long
Intersession in a tight budget year;
and the adoption by various other
colleges of the plan that ends the
fall semester before Christmas.

Two of the fall semester models
suspend classes on Sept. 18 for
Yom Kippur. One of the two
models shortens the examination
period to five days to compensate
for the holiday, and the other
schedules on’ Sept, 5, the Monday
classes suspended Sept. 18. The
third fall model eliminates sus-
pended classes for any religious
holiday.

The first model for the spring
semester includes a three-week
winter recess and classes suspen-
ded for Judeo-Christian holy days
in a second spring recess, Spring
plan no. 2*has a four-week winter
recess and includes religious obser
vance after 12 weeks of classes.
The third spring plan would
require the Chancellor’s approval
to end before the mandated May
15, a four-week winter recess and
a spring recess eight weeks into
the semester, The spring recess
would not coincide with religious
holy days. The fourth spring plan
also requires the Chancellor’s per-
mission to end on May 5, termed
“hard to obtain;” a three-week
winter recess and the same type of
spring recess as in spring plan
no.3. The third plan calls for
classes ending May 12, a date that
might secure Chancellor Boyer’s
approval more easily than May 5.

Food Protest
Petition Out

by Evelyn Katz

Petitions calling for a rechan-
neling of FSA funds for increased
student benefit have gone up on
Indian Quad. Lee Gamelsky, one
of the students involved in the
petitioning, when queried as to
why the petitions had gone up
replied,‘‘Well, because of hunger
for one thing.”

Posted on the way to the dining
area the petition calls for five
specific actions to be taken on
behalf of all students who con-
tract with FSA: 1) student répre-
sentation in planning the menu; 2)
seconds on all meals; 3) fresh
fruits and vegetables; 4) sand-
wiches on Sunday nights, and; 5)
restitution for uneaten meals.

Gamelsky continued, “‘That’s not
all though. The basic idea is that
FSA is making a profit when the
money should be going back to
the students. They're balancing
their own books.”

The petitions will remain up
until next Thursday morning.

Environment Exploited by
Ad-men’s Eco-Pornography

The following is reprinted from
the August 26 issue of the Wash-
ington Park Spirit:

by Mark Plat

“Eco-Pornography” is not a pic-
torial magazine whose features ex-
ploit men and women in all sorts
of Kama Sutra positions. It does
not come through the mail in a
plain brown envelope with a Swe-
dish stamp in the upper right hand
corner. Nor do dirty old men
snicker and drool over it for
hours,

Eco-pornography is all around
us everyday. Ican be heard on
the radio,, seen on T.V., ih com-
mercials, and in magazines. Yet
there are no little-Victorian old
ladies protecting young innocents
from such smut and garbage.

The term eco-pornography may
be familiar to many but it is hard
to define. After many years of
reading pornography, a person can
usually recognize hard-core ob-
scenity and that which has social
significance, However, if one may
combine a little Webster (ecology)
and the Supreme Court (porno-
graphy) the result is “the exploita-
tion and misuse of environmental
issues and terms.”

Eco-pornography can be found
in any media used by business and
corporations to advertise their
products. Bill-boards, one type of
media, are themselves environ-
mentally degrading, They must
attract attention and be read
quickly to be an effective adver-
tising medium. Taste is usually the
last criteria considered in creating

these masterpieces of American.

art, The Lark “STOP SMOG-
GING” bill-board featured in The
Spirit two issues ago is a prime
example of eco-pornography. An-
other example is. found in the
Atlantic-Richfield bill-board fea-
turing a scenic photography with
the heading, “How to help keep
America beautful...” *

A more familiar advertising me-
dium, television, has been used
particularly by large corporations
for PR commercials. PR, or Public
Relations, can be defined in two
ways, It can describe programs
that inform the public of contri-
butions to social causes and teh
acceptance of responsibility in
like matters by large corporations
seeking to improve their public
image. PR can also describe pro-
grams designed to camoflage en-
vironmental abuse by the large

corporations and industry.

There are many companies who
are slowly accepting their public
responsibilities and have seriously
begun cleaning up, However,
most super-corporations spend
more money and time on their PR
than on their pollution abatement
equipment.

Consider the television commer
cial whose narrator broadcasts,
“We struck oil in Alaska, 200
miles north of the Artic Circle,
Now men are working there 24
hours a day, seven days a week...
We're there because our dealers
are in your localneighborhood
He’s so important to us that we'll
go the ends of the earth to keep
him supplied with products to
take care of your car.” No men-
tion is made of the planned Alas-
kan pipeline or the damage to the
ecology of the Alaskan wilderness
if such a pipeline is built, Getting
the product to dealers is given
primary importance in this com-
mercial, and the environmental
threat to Alaska is ignored.

Many products themselves have
taken an ecological bent. Low-
phosphate detergents have all but
flooded the amrket in the rush to
save the environment. Some low-
phosphate detergents will actually
clean your clothes. Others, such as
the now infamous ECOLO-G de
tergent can be harmful to clothes
and humans, ECOLO-G (pro-
nounced ecology) came on the
market soon after the first Earth
Day. Sales zoomed as houswives
could now do their part for the
environment, This was fine until it
was discovered that ECOLO-G
was almost one-half salt, did not
clean clothes very well and caused
skin rashes.

Trash Mashers are another line
of products which are advertised
as a solution to an environmental
problem, In reality, this line of
products does more harm than
good, The spray used to de
-oderize the garbage when com-
pressed, prevents food from de-
composing naturally. Cans and
bottles are crushed together, and
cannot be recycled or reused,

Locally, eco-pornography exixts
in abundance. One radio station in
Particular, WPTR, has a nastyhabit
of using the word “ecology” be-
fore the time (Ecology NOW time
is...)} a practice completely with-
out significance, There is a differ-
ence: between the over-use of a
counter culture term and the mis-

uses of language that should de-
scribe critical ecological issues. E-
cology, as defined by Webster, is
that branch of science concerned
with the interrelationships of or
ganisms and their environment. Its
meaning should be taken far more
seriously than the media would
often have us think,
Eco-pornography has not escaped
criticism from the business com-
muninity, Malcolm S. Forbes,
president of Forbes Magazine at-
tacted the use of eco-pornography
in an editorial entitled “No Room
on the Bandwagon,”

“With such a stampede to
board the anti-pollution band-
wagon, some people are falling off
in their attempts to climb on,
falling flat on their faces in front
of the wheels,”

Jerry Mander, president of a San
Franciscan advertising agency,
prepared a portfolio of Eco-
pornography to accompnay an ar-
ticle in Scanlans Monthly, Some
of his selections included: Stand-
ard Oil’s “Announcing the most
long awaited gasoline develop-
ment in history;” Shell’s “Last
year we saved a lot of fish from
drowning, And made a lot of kids
happy;” Humble Oil’s “This bird
sanctuary is an oil field;” Bethle-
hem Steel’s “What in the world
does a forester do at Bethlehem
Steel;? ‘Westinghouse’s “We're
providing electricity througn
clean, safe, nuclear power;” and
Clorets “Do you share to Clean
the Air with a little help from
Clorets,” *

A recent survey at SALES MAN-
AGEMENT, a marketing maga
zine, asked, “Does Ecology Sell?”
The results revealed that compan-
ies vying to paint their products
into ecological sainthood often
end up as martyrs.

Advertisers and marketing men
have a common unofficial slogan,
“Tf it sells my product, use it.”
With increasing awareness of the
environment, fewer people have
accepted eco-pornography as
truth, Fhe waste land which is
eco-pornography will disappear if
it does not sell products, and it is
not now selling products.

Theconsumer is advised to dif-
ferentiate between truthful adver-
tising claims and the not-so-
truthful. The theory of consumer
sovereignty may often seem more
myth than fact. However, the
consumer will finally decide what
is sold by what he buys.

Anti-pollution Fight

AP— A $200,000 fine was im-
posed yesterday upon the Ana-
conda Wire and ‘Cable Company
for 100 unlawful discharges of
copper and other wastes into the
Hudson River from its plant at
Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.

Federal Judge Thomas F.
Croake fined the company, which
pleaded guilty last Sept. 27 to a
100-count indictment alleging
spills five days a week from Jan, 4°
to May 24 from its Westchester
county mill,

A special anti-pollution grand
jury, filing charges Sept. 8, alleged
infractions of the Federal Refuse
Act of 1899,

Company officials told the judge
last Sept. 27 that the plant had
remedied the situation in compli-
ance with New York State anti-
pollution standards,

Without further interpretation,
Judge Croake told company offi-
cials: “This cannot be considered
part of theoverhead of a business,
That is my thinking, and I have
given it very serious considera-
tion,”

Under the law, fines ranging up
to $2,500 for each violation could
be imposed. Croake set $2,000 for
each, ordering the company to
pay by Dee. 1,

Representing Anaconda were

Earth News

The Council on Economic
Priorities released a report which
revealed that many ad claims by
major manufacturers are false or
misleading.

The Council on Economic
Priorities (CEP) is a non-profit
organization, similar to Ralph
Nader's organizations, Earlier this
year CEP released an extensive
study on the paper industry, ex-
plaining how polluting that parti-
cular industry is.

The report reveals that the
major polluters do most “environ-
mental advertising.” That is, CEP
found that the companies with
the worse pollution records spend
more money on advertising either
disclaiming pollution complaints
or claiming that the companies
don’t pollute more than the lesser
polluters.

The CEP report cites many spe-
cifie cases, among them the adver-
tising done by both Ford Motor
Company and General Motors.
Both GM and Ford, according to
the report, advertise that they
have reduced pollution emmisions
from 65 percent to 80 percent on
1971 cars, CEP, however, cites a
California study which shows that
75 percent of the 1971 cars on
the road failed to meet that cri-
teria.

“Ford claims that auto emission
comprises only 39 percent of total
air pollution,” CEP says. “Yet
CEP shows auto pollution impact
on urban areas is over 75 per-
cent.”

The report also states: “The
images created by generalized
claims are not consistent with
those conveyed by specifics in the
news.” CEP says that this leads to
a “frustrating conflict which in
light of the growing U.S. concern
over the condition of our environ-
ment...may not be tolerated much

JEFF BECK GROUP: Rough
and Ready (Epic 30973)

‘After being immobilized for two
years by a motorcycle accident,

Jeff Beck, former lead guitar of
the Yardbirds and the Jeff Beck
Group (with Rod Stewart) has
formed a new band that includes a
black singer. Jeff Beck playing
soul-rock music? Yeah, it hit me
kind of funny at first. Since Beck
is noted for his flaming egotism
and a desire to lay down as much
guitar as possible (which was fine
within the context of his other
groups) it seemed rather unlikely
that he would adapt to the new
sound.

But yes, he does adapt. There is
still enough of the most unpredic-
table, staccato guitar in rock, but
Beck does not get carried away
with himself, and adds much to
the mood of each song. Ironically,
vocals do not play a large role in
the proceedings. Bob Tench has a
pretty good voice and he excells
in “I’ve Been Used,” “Got the
Feeling,” and “Short Business”
but his range is rather weak and
he has trouble handling love bal-
lads like “Jody.” Perhaps this is
the reason his vocals are staioned
rather far in the background.

“Got the Feeling” shows off the
new Beck. It has a typical soul
opening with Beck grinding out
some notes on wah-wah pedal.
Overdubbing of guitar and piano
is used extensively so a smooth,
complete feeling is obtained. A
variety of sounds by Beck fills in
any empty spaces. Max Middle-
ton, who. spent many years play-
ing classical piano, combines
many unusual notes to produce an
exotic solo with a touch of latin
flavor, The rhythm section of bass
player Clive Chaman and drum-
mer Cozy Powell, probably the
most essential part of soul music
supplies a lot of punch. An auspi-
cious start.

“Situation” has an intro buildup
that gives Beck plenty of oppor-
tunity to explode but he surprises
with a soft, legato line that leads
right into the opening verse. Later
on, his fuzzy guitar solo is con-
trasted with the velvet touch of
Middleton on electric piano.

Don’t expect another
Pudding” or “Beck’s Bolero”
from the 8:25 instrumental
“Raynes Park Blues,” which in
spite of it’s misleading title is a
jazz piece. The theme takes too
long in unfolding and there is too
much wasted space, though by no
means can the song be called filler
material for there are plenty of
ideas, the problem is that they’re
too sketchy.

“Rice

Tightness is the main quality of
“Short Business” and “I’ve Been
Used.” The latter opens with an
eerie syncopated beat but then
quickly straightens out into the
main theme, Tench, drowning in
pain, is at his best here.

The last two songs on the album
point out some weaknesses in the
group’s format. “New Ways Train
Train” utilizes ideas from Traffic,
James Gang, and Buddy Miles
without having a personality of its
own, The constant switches in

wyle are a little hard to take and
for all the music layed down,
there is very little accomplished.
“Jody” underlines the lack of
good material at hand. Still, the
tnusic is strong enough to leap any
hurdles. Middleton’s magic carpet
tide electric piano solo that ends
the album is sheer genious. He
steals the spotlight from Beck.

“Rough and Ready’ may not be
what you expect but it doesn’t
intend to be. If you give it a little
time, you could be pleasantly
surprised. So Jeff Beck has soul.
What do you know?

Jack and Jorma are at it again,
First time ’round they fooled us
with an album of stunningly ex-
ecuted acoustic blues when we’d
expected a rock jam set. This time
‘round they give us what we first
looked for, plus some extra good-
ies. Papa John Creach, the veteran
(53 years old) black electric vio-
linist we saw here when the Air-
plane flew in last fall, is aboard,
and Sammy Piazza, a get-it-on
rock and roll drummer if there
ever was one, replaced the succes-
sion of lackluster drummers
(Spence, Dryden, and Covington)
that Jack and Jorma have had
with them, Oh...and for laughs
they didn’t put the album title on
the cover (it’s in small print on
the side), so this LP is the one
with the yellow and aqua swirly
design on the cover, OK?

It’s a fine piece of work. The
predominant flavors are jazzy and
bluesy, with traces of oldtime
swing fading in and out as the
musicians jam on, Jorma’s vocal’s
are, well, there, His voice won’t
make you forget anybody's but
his style and inflection are excel-
lent for this type of music and he
delivers the drivingly urgent yet
somehow distant sense of longing
that makes “Been So Long” and
“Come Back, Baby” smolder and
burn, Scarlett is an intriguingly
inventive harp player and Papa
John plays a jazzy, bluesy electric
violin that often sounds like a
reed. Jack backs Jorma steadily
and Sammy keeps ‘em rockin.
Basically, though, the show be-
longs to Jorma. His influence has
continued to be himself, and he is
not averse to ccpping figures from
his own earlier work. Little echoes
of Jorma-ish embellishment of old
Airplane standards abound, but
the musical context is different. If
you're looking for melody and
harmony and old-fashioned songs
you won’t care too much for this
disc, but if you can get your head
into some really crisp playing it’s
there to love.

The PENTANGLE’s new album
“Reflection” (Reprise
by far the best album by this
English folk-jazz group since their
initial disc about two and a half
years ago. “Try to relax and let
your mind run free’? says Bert
Jansch in “Helping Hand” and
this is the overall philosophy of
the album, one of the most re-
laxing of the year.

With two of England’s finest
acoustic guitarists in Bert Jansch
and John Renbourn and two very
competent vocalists (Jansch and
Jacqui McShee), the only surprise
is that it took this long for PEN-
TANGLE to record their defin-
itive album, Where in previous
outings, Jansch and Renbourn
fought each other in the guitar
solos, here they meld their styles
into a tasty sound. Instruments
that up until the last album were
not synomous with the group,
namely sitars, banjos, harp, and
electric guitars are utilized to
achieve a more complete sound.
The material deals more with the
American folk idiom than pre-
viously, so that even an over-
worked song like“Will The Circle
Be Unbroken?” gets new life
pumped into it. Throughout,
Jansch is at the top of his form,
and McShee’s sweet voice is as
helpful as butter on hot toast.

Showing remarkable consis-
tency, each cut is about as good as
the next, with the 11 minute
finale “Reflection” the standout
if only for the fliudity it displays
during it’s long life. McShee’s
voice, backed up lightly by Jansch
is likely to send shivers down your

SOMETIMES I JUST FEEL LIKE
SMILIN’, Butterfield Blues Band,
Elektra EKS 75013.

Butterfield fans, get ready: this
is probably the best of their seven
albums. If you’ve followed this
band, you know that they’ve con-
stantly experimented: two albums
were into Chicago blues, then
there was the addition of brass,
the experimentation with jazz,
Eastern sounds, and at times a
merger with rock. This new album
defies any such categorization; it

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1971

(es
seems, rather, like the logical con-
clusion of all the previous mater-
ial. Everything that has been
learned has been merged here-
-jazz, folk, blues, pop, and rock
are incorporated into a smooth
and natural synthesis. And a
back-up chorus that includes Mer-
ry “Gimme Shelter” Clayton is
the perfect compliment to the
band. Butterfield shares the spot-
light, even more than usual, with
the other members of his group.
As he said in a recent interview:
“J don’t want to play all the solos
on all the songs; I want some
other folks to play. I’ve got some
cats that can really play!” You'll
feel like smiling.

T. Rex, “Electric Warrior” Re-
prise 6466

When T. REX played here last
year they were pathetically inept.
Of course, any group would have
been a letdown after the speeding
fury of JOHNNY WINTER AND
but Mare Bolan’s gooey preten-
tiousness and phony havingsuch-
agoodtime attitude fell just a bit
short of being a good stage act. I
was quite prepared to dislike the
new T. REX album “Electric War-
rior” (Reprise 6466) but believe it
or not, it’s not bad. No world
shocker by any means, but a
decent album. If you can accept
Bolan’s magical lyrics of cosmic
oneness as a goof then you will
probably enjoy the music that
accompanies it. A typical Bolan
lyric: “Beneath the bebop moon/I
want to croon with you/Beneath
the Mambo Sun/I got to be the
one with you” or: “Shallow are
the actions of the children of
men/Fogged was their vision since
the ages began/and lost like a lion
in the canyons of smoke/Girl it’s
no joke.” When the lyries degen-
erate into triteness, the music is
just that much better to compen-
sate. In addition, the string ar-
rangements and the saxophone
work of Ian McDonald of KING
CRIMSON fame fills in any loose
eracks in the foundation.

“Get It On (Band A Gong)”
which was a hit on the charts in
England but fizzled in the States
is the best of the lot but the
electric ‘Rip Off’ isn’t far behind.
Bolan, who was a famous folk
singer for many years in England,
is generally better off when he
plays acoustic, but he seems to
know his limits as an electric
guitarist and hardly ever overdoes
anything.

The key to whether you will like
T.REX or not is whether you like
Bolan’s voice. I despised it in
concert but it doesn’t bother me
at all on record,

Chuck Mangione has been
around for quite a while. The fact
that he has now made an album
that has actually, in part, received
some airtime can not be inter-
preted as an indication that Man-
gione has just now become a good
musician.

I remember picking up an old
album by the Jazz Brothers, with
Sal Nistico on tenor, Chuck’s
brother on piano, Roy Mc-
Curdy—who later joined Cannon-
ball Adderley—on drums, and a
less prominent cat, Vinney
Rugiero, or something, on bass.
Chuck was already playing real
nice trumpet, creating an original
style which fit comfortably be-
tween Miles Davis and Dizzy Gil-
lespie. Sal Nistico was not as
flashy then but played a nice
Sonny Rollins influenced tenor.
The group was called the Jazz
Brothers, and they originated out
of Rochester, and were ‘“dis-
covered” by Cannonball Adder-
ley, who had a large part in
signing them up with Riverside, a
now defunct jazz label.

Chuck was doing some nice
writing then, so when The Jazz
Brothers broke up Chuck was
given the opportunity to write
some Charts for Maynard Fer-
guson. He also played and wrote
for Art Blakey.

After starving in New York he
returned to Rochester, taught at
Eastman, and just kept growing
musically. He was into compo-
sition so he naturally gravitated
towards classical music. Being
young he learned to appreciate
rock and folk. Meanwhile he was
playing jazz at the clubs in the
area, and sitting in when he could.

Sitting in has always been part
of his life. As a kid his father had
him sit in with some of the greats
who came around to play, Father
Mangione would also get the
musicians to visit the house, have
something to eat (and drink) and
blow till all hours of the night.
Dizzy Gillespie was so impressed
by Chuck’s playing that he gave
him one of his updo horns. Chuck
used it on his first record date.

So Chuck Mangione’s past led to
do the rather remarkable concert
that is recorded on Friends and
Love (Mercury SRM 2-800).

This double album is an am-
bitious project, and presents some
rare moments in American com-
positional music. He somehow
brought together classical, folk,
rock, C&W, and jazz elements and
welded them entertaining whole.
The performing group comes com-
plete with the Rochester Philhar-
monic Orchestra, and folk singers
Bat McGrath and Dan Potter, and
various jazz musicians. Chuck
plays two beautiful solos that are
a study in economy, and as fresh
as the falling snow.

Gerry Neiwood plays some nice,
insinuating lines on the soprano,
but I would have liked to see him
given more space. Marvin Stamm
doesn’t quite live up to his repu-
tation concerning himself more
with the hystrionics of shrill high
note non-playing than with any-
thing musical. A more complete
musical annotation takes more
room than I have, but suffice it to
say this is one exceedingly com-
pelling piece of work that is
screaming to be heard, and there
is something in it to satisfy any
musical taste bud.
