Tracksters Win

by Jon Lafayette

It all came down (o the last event
for the track team in Wednesday's
meet against Williams at the Univer-
sity field. A scoring mistake of two
points made the score seem even
closer than it was at the end.

Williams opened the meet by tak-
ing the 440 yard relay as a mistake
caused an Albany pass to go outside
the passing zone, disqualifying the
team, Rudy Vido put the shot 497/4”
to make the score Williams 8,
Albany 6, Brian Davis won the mile
in 4:22.8, with Tom Ryan second in
4:25.4 but the scorer only gave
Albany 6 points (points are awarded
5 for first place, 3 for second, and |
for third in a dual meet) instead of
the eight they had won, making the
score Albany 12, Williams 9,
error would not benoticed untilafter
the meet with the two points missing
all through the running score until
the end.

Dave Cole took the 120 yard high
hurdles, but a mix-up between the
timersand the starters meant notime
was taken, Coach Bob Munsey
thought that “Cole's time was
probably excellent because the race
was very tight, about six inches at the
finish.” Tom Pardini took the long
jump with a leap of 2077" with Hiram
Febles third, Jim Holloway then
took thediscus by throwingit 13311",

Brian Davis won the 880in 1:59.6,
scoring double (he also took the
mile) but again Albany would be
hurt in the sprints, Two Wil
runners, Dave Parker and Michael
Reed, beat Art Bedford in the 440,
Joe Newsome and Regan Miller beat
Albany's Alan Zube in the 100 yard
dash, and Bob Ashley and Glen
Harris of Williams went 1-2 over
Roger Phillips in the 440 yard in-
termediate hurdles, State's Gary
Johnson finished second in the 220
which was won by William's New-
some, and Bill Mayer and Pierre
Beuvoir captured second and third
in the pole vault. Albany still trailed
(they thought) by 12, 57 to 45.

Albany got tough, winning four of
the next five events, Tom Cleary

threw the javelin 174°" and Perry
Hocltze! threw it 159°2to take 1-2 in
that event. Carlo Cheribino and
Chris Burns tied in the two mile,
erasing the Williams lead and put-
ting Albany up by 2 at 61-59. Bob
Malone collected 5 big points by
winning the high jump at 60", with
Williams coming in second and
third, The lead was now 3 points
with only the mile and the triple
jump remaining.

Williams took the relay, gathering
all five points in that event to put
Albany in the hole, down by two. All
eyes were on the triple jump arca
where State's Jim Pollard was first
followed by two Williams men with
one jump left, In that order,
everyone thought, Albany would
lose by one. Hiram Febles' last jump
of 42'11" won the event to give
Albany five points, and with Jim
Pollard finishing second, the final
score looked to be 74-69, No one
knew that the score was really tied
going into the triple jump so Febles
and Pollard really bore out despite
being under intense pressure.

Munsey Happy

Coach Bob Munsey said he was
“very happy, winning the closeones’
are great.” Freshman Brian Davis,
who won both the 880 and the mile
and Tom Ryan who finished secon¢
in the mile both looked very gor, as
did Daye Coleand Stu Finton in the
hurdles, He was very happy to see
Bob Malone go 6° in the high jump,
especially after a foot injury which
bothered him all through the indoor
season, Jim Pollard and Hiram
Febles were impressivealso, Munsey
calling Febles “a tough fittle
competitor. He was glad to see Rudy
Vido und the weight men come
through. “Our field events outscored
our runners 42-36 in this meet and
140-135 over the jon, and
remember there are 10 track events
and only seven field events.

end of a 7-2 score just 24 hoursafter
their 6-5 squeaker over RPI.

The two-game split left Albany
with a 2-5 record this spring and a 1
I slate in the Capital District Con-
ference.

Okoniewski allowed only two hits
in his 8 and t/3 innings of work but
also yielded ten walks which proved
to be his downfall. The Danes, after
holding off a late RPI rally the
previous day to pick up a win,
appeared to be within striking range
when they narrowed the gap to 3-2,
heading into the ninth inning of the
Siena contest.

But four Indian runs on four
watks put the game out of reach and

had of
winning their first two C.D.C, games
of the year.

In all faimess to Okoniewski, it
must be noted that the righty senior
did not allow a hit from the second
innning on. “Rick threw a great
game between the second and ninth
innings,” said Coach Bob
Burlingame. “A fabulous game!”
And even with the walks, “it was
anybody's game until the ninth.”

Rick got off to.a shaky start in the
first by walking Mark Frye with one
out and then giving up a run-scoring
double to Gary Holle, Holle stole
third and scored onan errant pickoff
throw by catcher Vie Giulianelli to
put the Danes down 2-0, Okoniowski
later walked two more batters in the
inning but escaped without further
damage

Siena upped its advantage to 3-0
in the following frame when
Malcolm Kilmer singled, advanced
on two wild pitches, and scored on a
sac fly. Until theninth, they were not
to seriously threatened again.

State got on the scoreboard in
their half of the second when Jay
Milauskas reached second on a dou-
ble error by third baseman Fryc, and
scored on a wicked single down the
leftfield line by Mike Gamage.

The Danes, who incidentally out-
hit the winners by an'8-4 margin, cut
the lead to one in the eighth when
Paul Nelson tripled up the right-
centeralley and later scored on an in-
field error.

Okoniewski was obviously tired at
this point and after getting the
teadoff man in the ninth, walked the
next three batters before being
removed, Bob Kronenberger reliev-
ed and on a 3-2 pitch to Holle, gave
up the Danes’ eleventh walk of the
game, forcing in the fourth S
run,

Tom Paradise then delivered a
two run single forthe fifth and sixth
runs, while the final tally crossed as
the result of a Kronenberger wild
pickoff attempt, But the Danes
refused to yield in their halfas John
Trace, a late inning sub, and
pinchhitter Glenn Sowalskic,
delivered base hits with one out.
When Nelson was hit by a pitch to
load the bases with two outs, they
still had a chance. But Tom Blair was
robbed of a hit by firstbaseman
Holle who Mlipped to pitcher Mike
Ruane for the final out on a very
close play.

Ruane pitched a fine game, getting
his outs when most needed. Five of
his six strikeouts came with runners
on base,und with the defense turning
three doubleplays behind him, he
was unbeatable,

Albany's thirdbaseman, Jim
Willoughby, tumed in the best
defensive play of the game in the

fifth. Holle smacked a vicious shot
down the line which was labeled two-
bagger all the way. Willoughby dove
headfirst to his right, snared the ball
in his outstretched glove on a hop as
he hit the ground, scrambled to his
feet, and madea perfect throw to just
nip the runner.

Willoughby Stars

But it was Willoughby’s bat which
was the key to the Danes’ 6-5 win
over RPI on Monday. He lashed out
three singles and drove in two runsin
that contest to back up a fine initial
pitching effort by Sowalskie.

The Danes had scored single runs
in the second (on Jeff Breglio’
squeeze bunt) and third (on

But RPI again cut the lead to one

an error did the trick before
Sowalskie closed the door, “That

Sowalskie Tires

Sowalskie tired in the seventh and
was replaced by Kronenberger who
did superb mop up job in picking
up his first save of the young season.
Nelson also lended a hand with a
fantastic diving catch in deep right
late in the game.

So, the Danes are off until Tu

home contest at 3:30. Blair is the
probable starter with John Dollard

Brockport Edges Stickmen

by Craig Bell

In a game that saw the Great
Danes lead by as many as three and
trail by as many as four, the Albany
lacrosse team dropped their first
game of the season 1-10 to the very
tough Brockport team.

The Golden Eagles opened to
scoring in the first quarter as at-
tackman Ken Balslou scored on the
end of a fast break. Dennis Walsh
got the Danes even two minutes
later, and then put them ahead with
an underhander blast at 12:03. Pete
Connor assisted on the play, while
the Danes enjoyed a two man advan~
tage, Brockport’s leading scorer

Steve Martucello converted on a
nice pass from Balslou to tie the
score at two all at the end of one
quarter.

Albany seemed unsettled carly,
They weren't controlling the ground
ball as they had againstOswego and
weren't taking advantage of their
man up opportunities. Twice in the
early going State was two men up
and couldn't put the ball in thenet,

Midfielder Tom Jefferies took ad-
vantage of a breakdown on a State

Then all hell broke loose as

times in the third quarter fora 95

NYPIRG Referendum
Decided By SA Ballot

by Daniel Gaines

A NYPIRG (New York Public In-
terest Research Group) referendum
will be on the ballot in next week’
SA elections that, if passed, would
provide foran increasein the student
tax fee of one dollar per semesterand
an equal amount to be drawn from
elsewhere in the SA budget, to total
aan estimated $36,000 Albany NYP-
IRG budget that would be
guaranteed for two years, This
assumes that the mandatory student
tax fee will be reapproved by the
students in a separate referendum
next week.

To be binding the referendum will
feed twenty percent of the students
eligible to vote, The only groups to
gel more money this year than what
NYPIRG will probably receive are
the intercollegiate sports board, the
AAB and Concert Board.

; : Restored Boulevard Cafeteria to Reopen Soon

In 1967 the Boulevard Cafeteria closed down after operating seven days a
week, twenty-four hours a day for 36 years. The Boulevard was the place to
cat in Albany, anyone of note in the city turning up there frequently. For
years older residents walked past Robin Street and Central Avenue, the
unused building bringing back memories. Recent arrivals tried to peer
through the stained-glass windows, while they speculated about the history

of the cafeteria. Due to the efforts of two SUNYA graduate:

students the public will view the Boulevard from the inside.

Robert Boor (1966 grad) and George Mitchell (1969 grad) decided Albany

ELECTRONIC EYES

The American Civil Liberties Un-
ion says it has identified at least 23
separate government agencies which
have conducted electronic sur-
veillance against American citizens.

The A.C.L.U. says that these
agencies include not only the F.B.L.,
the C.LA. and the ILR.S., but other
lesser ones such as the Defense Map-
ping Agency and the Defense
Nuclear Agency.

A NOZONE LAYER?

An atmosphere scientist is out
with a new study which indicates
that the Earth's delicate ozone level
is in more trouble than was original-
ly predicted.

Doctor Thomas Donahue warns
that the propellants in spray cans
may set off a chain reaction capable
of quickly depleting the ozone.

Doctor Donahue is the chairman
of the Department of Atmospheric
and Oceanic Sciences at the Univer-
sity of Michigan. He reports he has
discovered a secondary method
through which fluorocarbon
propellants affect the atmosphere.

Scientists have Pkifown that
flu arbons released into the at-
mos, re break down chemically
and ck ozone molecules.

Wha was not known, Doctor
Donah ¢ says, is that the
temperature of the stratosphere rises
as the ozone level drops. Hesays this
temperature increase causes water
vapor from below to rise into the
stratosphere, further depleting the
ozone level.

Doctor Donahue says this means
the Nuorocarbons trigger what he

LODIAC NE

calls a “snowball” v.fect which can
deplete the ozone level quickly.

‘A decrease in ozone, scientists say,
will cause a tremendous increase in
the number of cases of skin cancer
and blindness among humans.

FANATICAL FIGHTERS

The Washington Post reportsthat
South Vietnamese and Cambodian
Embassies are being swamped with
thousands of offers from Americans
who want to fight in Southeast Asia,

The newspaper states that the
South Vietnamese Embassy alone
receives as many as 10 calls per day,
ranging from people who claim they
are avowed anti-communists to
those who merely want money for
their services.

As an example, the Post quotes
retired Air Force Lieutenant
Colonel James Akin as saying he
didn’t really care for the South Viet-
namese, but that he wanted to return
to Vietnam because he was opposed
to “communism” and hated to see
America lose a war.

All offers have reportedly been
turned down so far, However, the
Post that some of the
proposals have come from soldiers
of fortune who want to organize
private armies to help in theing,

One such man is Bart Bonner, a
M-year-old ex-marine who told the
South Vietnamese attache he had
“quiet” or “clandestine” ways to

Bonner explained that he is confi-
dent that once he gathered together

would come up with the guns and
bullets for them.

In practice, Jon and the volunteers

The American Medical Associa~

‘The April edition of The Journal

dangerous to your hearing.

JA. Bell of the AmM.A. writes
that members of the audience at rock

amplified music.

What can be done about it? Says

concerts to be absolutely safe.”

SCHOOLS SCRAMBLE
FOR STUDENTS

Colleges and universities are
resorting to unusual cut-throat com-
petitive practices in order to lurenew
students onto campuses, now that
the baby boom is over.

Just a few years ago, it was the
students who were competing to get
into college. Now, according to

‘Clemson University Dean Harold
Landruth, it’s the colleges that’ ‘tre

‘Landruth says that some schools
are raiding other campuses, looking
for students, Other colleges, he
reports, will register students on

applications or transcripts; and even
stranger, he says,is the tacticused by
some institutions of implying that
students who enroll will get free T.V.
sets.

FILE FREEDOM

One way to insure that the F.B.I.
maintains a file on you is to write to
the bureau to ask for your file.

Under the new Freedom of Infor-
mation Act, government agencies
are required to reveal the contents of

citizen's personal file if the citizen
demands to see it.

The F.B.L., the C.I.A. and other
agencies say they are being deluged
with letters about files. The F.B.I.
adds, however, that every time it
receives a request, it checks to see if
there isa file, If not, the bureau
promptly opens a new one on the
letter writer.

editorial / comment
FSA To AAB To SA

There has been some debate within Student Association in recent weeks about
whether ognot the $185,000 loan money returned to SA from FSA(Faculty-Student
Association) in February should be only used for intercollegiate sports by AAB
(Athletic Advisory Board). The money originally came from the AAB surplus.

‘Over the past few years Central Council has regularly approved giving $7.25 out of
each student's $32.00 semesterly tax fee to AAB, to be distributed among the various
sports programs by them. Besides saving Council the trouble of going through all the
details of the intercollegiate team budgets, the AAB permits SUNYA to meet the
requirement of the NCAA that the teams be under institutional control because there
are faculty and students on the AB. Giving these non-students some control over
student tax money has been traditionally thought of asa small price to pay for NCAA
membership.

Years ago AB didn't use all the funds allocated to it by Council (it amounts to a
quarter of the SA budget) and so an AAB surplus has been built up. The money has
been invested in various ways over the years, the bulk being loaned out to FSA a few
years ago and with favorable rates to both SA and FSA. In recent years, AAB has
needed to take some money out of the surplus to cover the rising costs of operating an
intercollegiate sports program and from various special events

Now that SA recalled the loan some have suggested that it would be morally wrong
to spend the money on anything but AB. They reason that since it comes from the
AAB surplus and can help support AAB when they go into the red; thus it will be
unnecessary for AAB to ask for more money in future years, However, this is not a
moral issue. Obviously AAB was able to operate successfully and efficiently with less
than theirallotted money in some years, Though they should not be penalized for being
elficient, there is no reason to exempt A.AB from the budget cutbacks and reanalyses of
the allocations received by other SA organizations, going on now in the wake of a
depressed national economy and changing student prioriti

AAB has no Moral right to that money. There should bea presumption in favor of
permitting them to use it since it was originally allocated to them. But if Council
decides that the many money-starved groups on campus havea greater need. and that
students would be better served by reallocation, then by all means they should feel free
to distribute the money accordingly.

A decision on the use of this money can be avoided by Council, as they often avoid
challenging issues, There has been, however, increasing discussion in recent months
about exactly what the one-quarter of SA's budget spent on intercollegiate sports is
doing for the students on this campus compared to all the other places the money could
xo

The FSA loan money adds a dimension to the issue that makes it imperative that
both major branches of SA government carefully evaluate the pros and cons ot our
intercollegiate athletics program.

Saving Energy

It is increasingly clear that cigarette smoking is detrimental to a person's health.
Because of vigorous advertising campaigns of the American Cancer Society, and the
American Heart Association these are few people unaware of the risks involved when
lighting up even the most weak and filtered tobacco, For some, itis inconceivable that
smokers continue to buy pack after pack of their favorite brands, Some smokers would
like to stop, but feel they can’t. Many enjoy smoking and are willing to pay the price of
the habit,

A twist in the anti-smoking rhetoric has become popular lately. Various scientific
studies seem to indicate that people in the same room of the smoker are adversely
affected, though to a much lesser extent. As a result cities across the nation, starting
with Phoenix and recently New York City, are banning smoking in public pl

These events are, in principle, encouraging. But placed in perspective they are
capable of being absurd, There are thousands of activities that damage both ourselves

nd other people when performed. Everytime a car isdriven, a McDonald's hamburger

aten, product produced, an aerosolcan sprayed, or an unsafe food additive used
people's health is affected, To single out the cigarette smoker as the one to suffer in our
effort to keep ourselves in existence is espe ir when we consider that we are
being hurt in far more destructive ways th ing smoke blown into our face

Fuerza Latina here this weekend, carried this message: the

‘They afe a transplanted people who have taken root
through the love of their native soil. It was powerfully
stated in the performance of Pedro Pietri's Puerto Rican
Obituary, by a theater group from SUNY at Binghamton,
called “Sentido” (feeling). They performed Saturday
afternoon in the PAC; as part of the Teatro Boriken Ac-
tivities.

‘The skit tells of Juan, Miguel, Milagros, Olga,

come after, that to be Puerto Rican should not have

Negrito (dark) is to be called love!” “Puerto Rico,” they
say, “is the place you should be—even if you are not
there.”

The Latin lands were there that afternoon however,
during Teatro Boriken. They were in the 14 different per-
formances given in word and song which expressed the
talents, desires, and pains of the people present.

They are equally there later that evening inthe Campus
Center Ballroom, as you see the people dance to the music
and rythmns of Orquestra Sabor. The singer is dark with a
shirt that exposes a small muscular waist, and a voice
which exposes the joyful sensations of love. The people—
Equadorian, Puerto Rican, Panamanian, Dominican,
Honduran—share his message in motion.

The music here is rarely sad. Horns introduce a blaring
tempo as over a hundred dancers seem to flicker across
the floor. The women's clothes are bright and tighten to
shape them sensually, creating a fullness of body and
movement. The men are smooth as well, though con-
ceeding the higher radiance of their partners.

A piano and flute carry the melody in a manner both
flowing and passionate. Suddenly the trumpets and trom-
hone extol a more violent and rapid pace which shall die

‘On Sunday in Brubacher Hall, with a Puerto Rican flag

Puerto Rican independence and unity of Spanish peoples.

Rumito, famous Jibaro singer and dancer, called the
Latins a “rainbow people,” and as such they were
beautiful. There should not be racial differences amongst
them, he urged, because to be Puerto Rican is to be united

his lingers off silently. It hadn't started
out this way, and neither of them had
foreseen they would get so close. It just
happened.

One day they linished a project they
had been working on together. When it
was completed they just stood there
and looked at it, He finally realized
what thal meant, Her large brown eyes
glowed wetly, and he pretended he
was looking lor something in his
pockel. When his eyes stopped
burning he looked up at her again, She
was standing in the corner of the room,
lacing the wall, He went over to her, put
his hands on her shoulders, bul she
shrugged him off with a shudder she
fell through her entire body

shoulders, and ben! to kiss her on the

Later that day they were.in her
apartment, lying quietly on her bed.

with a round lace, which glowed pink
in the gray darkness. Each tick
sounded like a footstep, as il someone

They both laughed.

“Stepping on my lines again, huh?"

But it was a mirthless laugh, and it
died quickly.

“Instead of just sitting heremoping,
let's do something.”

‘Alright.”

As the sun sank behind the

world famous Disneyland. Disneyland,
the tlag bearer of Middle America, the
detenderof cleanliness and good taste

Disneyland looked good to me that
morning last summer as my
Greyhound pulled into the small
Anaheim terminal, considering the
fact that anything looks good after a
long nighton a Greyhound. Tossedmy
bags'into a locker, a tab of LSD into my
mouth, an ounce of grass and some
clothes intoa rucksack (in case a
young lady with a motel room should
fall victim to my charms)and walked
over to the park. Disneyland—
monument to imagination and
creativity, as long as a buck can be
made off of them.

| finished my third joint roughly a
hundred feet from the main gate, got
on line, paid my money, and passed
through those pearly gates.

My tab of acid told me that I was in
for quite an experience that day.
Betore | left the park that night I found
myselt inclined to agree.

Disneyland—1001 employees with
rancidly short hair and plastic smiles,
1001 security men (complete with
walkie talkies) dressed up as trees and
park benches, 1001 people telling you
what to do belore letting you on ‘their’
rides.

The people who run the rides do so
with an air ol parental condescension,
and alter they've told you where loline
up, how to line up, how and when to
boar, and alter strapping you in,even
il you'd rather be imaginative and fly
without a belt, you just don't feel like
going on the goddamned ride
anymore. "We'll be nice lo you tourists,
but il you don't do things OUR WAY
we'll scream for the brain police.”

Disneyland—home ol ‘fom Sawyer's

better place is there to smoke another
juint than on that secret hideaway
island? I'll bet that’s what ol’ Tom used
it for!"

However, there are some drawbacks
togetting high on Tom Sawyer's Island
First off, every single spoton that island
where you could possible hide out and
smoke is labelled with an enormous
sign, Secret Hideout'—and all of a
sudden there are a million kids
running around and hiding out. The
security men dress like mounted
policemen without their mounts, and
cast suspicious glances at everyone.
‘They certainly rubbed Acid the wrong
way, and he in tum caused them to
appear odder than they already did.
And that was a pretty rough job, even
for Acid.

Stoned and tripping, | bopped into
the john, locked mysell in, and rolled a
few joints, still hoping to find some
place to smoke. Acid just laughed at
me, and made the entire john tremble
with the force of his laughter.

Some little kids started knocking on
the door...

yland...
Oh, Disneyland

“Hey! Come outta there awready,
willyal!"”
“In a minute, OK, in a minute.”

Outon the island again. Wherecan | *

smoke? Nowhere.

So | jumped onto the Skyride, Where
else?

The rest of the day slipped by, and [
slipped along with it. In order to
increase the intensity of my trip [didn't
veat anything the day before, nor did I
eat much during my trip. | watched a
lot of bald-headed Marines hupping
through my field-of-view. They all
looked like pure, thoroughbred
American Youth, the kind you'd
expect to see in Disneyland. Acid,
however, tumed each one of them into
Dennis the Menace. I watched a ‘rock’
band that was so horribly clean-cut it
made me want to cry. Acid told me that
when their gig at Disneyland ended,
each of them would resume his regular
job of pledging allegiance, full time.

Anyway, my debut wasn’t
scheduled until after sunset.

Disneyland at night, all lit up and
sparkling. Me and Acid hanging out,
watching the girls go by. Acid showed
me a trick of his, in which he turned
beautitul girls into hideous witches,
and plain girls into sensuousdemons.

"Cut that out, Acid. How'm |
supposed to know who to try and pick
up?

But Acid just laughed and said that |
didn't know the diflerence between
beauly and ugliness, anyway.

And then it came. | was standing in
the middle of some cowboy town when
all,of a sudden the Marshall walked
over lo me. He was, as you'd suspect,
tall, blonde-haired and broad
shouldered, not lo mention clean
shaven lo the point of not even having
a hint of a nub on his face. He smelled
as if he'd squeezed the essential oils
out of an apple pie and into his cologne
bottle.

“Did you come in here with that
jacke!?", he asked in his best Randolf
Scott voice. The Marshall was referring
to my denim jacket, copiously
decorated with colorful patches, none
of which Mickey Mouse would ever be
seen with. Among others, there was a
“Legalize Pot” patch on my arm, a
large round patch on my back
picturing a pot plant with "Mary Jane”
inscribed above it, and one that read
“Fuck For Peace” cleverly designed so
that "Fuck" was made to look like a
dove, hung on another arm. A patch
featuring a rooster wearing a super-
suit and cape, flexing his muscles and
looking real determined, read, "Super
Cock," and was prominently displayed
on my front pocket, | was the very
picture ol patriotism.

Actually, | hadn't exactly worn the
jacket on my way into the park, but he
didn’t know that...

“Of course I came in here with it.
What's wrong with it?”

“It's in violation of our dress
regulations. Those patches don't
belong in a family place like
Disneyland. You'll have to come with

“Where are we going?”

“To the Security Office."

And that's where ithit me. | wouldn't
have minded if he'd asked me to
simply take the jacket off. But the
SECURITY OFFICE! Shit! It he could
take me there then I'd probably get
searched, and | knew what would be
found. But how could he do this?
Dragging me in and interrogating me
for dressing wrong?! Could that be
done in America now? Nixon was still
President, then, so one could never be
too sure when the Bill of Rights would
be outlawed. But DRESSING
WRONG?

Anyway, I couldn't talk little
Himmler out of it. Ol’ Acid couldn't,
either. So it was off to Security for the

both of us. My escort didn't know Acid
was with me, and the road to
interrogation certainly pissed Acid off.
All during our walk, Acid did his
utmost fo make me obstinatr: ..

“Walk ahead of me, please,” the
Marshall always gave orders.

Why can’t | walk next to you?”

“Just keep on walking, will you.
Follow the beam of my flashlight.”

“What flashlight?

Tum right, up ahead there.

Which way?”

| said right!"

‘Tum right where?

Will you keep walking!"

| still don’t understand why you're
taking me it

“We'll talk about it when we get
there.”

Where'd you get those cowboy
boots?"

"Why do you keep pulling your
hand in your pocket, there?”

‘Well, you see, | like to play with
mysell.’

The Security Office, housed in a
menacingly-low-slung building that is
hidden away from the usual, luxury
model! fourist. I certainly wasn't
travelling first class, though. And forall
I know, that was the reason | was being
taken in.

Hustled into a back office, laced my
interrogator. There he stood—short, fat,
sinisterly bald, and without even a
trace of oil on his skin. Indeed a
staunch, upright, citizen-on-the-go. |
sat down, and Broderick Crawford
proceeded to ask me the usual where-
do-you-come-lrom-and-how-did-you-
get-here questions, He wid me that |
was in violation of the dress coda, and
that if | wanted to stay in Disneyland I'd
have to put my jacket in a locker just

outside the main gate. He firmly
informed me that Disneyland was
PRIVATE PROPERTY, and that I was
just being ALLOWED to use the
facilities. Whe | causually brought up
the fact that I happened to have paid to
get in, heshrugged me off and said that
it didn't matter.

Broderick then asked me if I'd been
drinking, but before he could finish his
question | got up and breathed a long
one right into his unscrupulously ugly
face. The stagnant breath of two days’
fasting and a day's tripping nearly
knocked the old storm trooper out of
his chair. It even made oil ooze out of
his skin. Obviously | hadn't been
drinking. I sat down again, but my
stoned-out shape had begun to take its
toll on me. | sat‘on the edge of the chair
and trembled a bit. Acid apparently
brought along his friend, Speed.

Baldy asked me, suspiciously, why |
was trembling. | thought fast, and told
him point blank that | had never
encountered his breed of prejudice
betore, and that I was afraid he had
something up his sleeve. Something
like an ax handle. But he just smiled,
and assured me, ina fatherly way, that
political buttons of any kind, even
Nixon buttons, were banned from
Disneyland. | pegged that one as a
lame attempt on his part to keep me
from picking up his phone and dialing
the local American Civil Liberties
Union.

Anyway, alter some more verbal
ping pong, skin head told me that the
halt-wit who brought me to his olfice
would now show me the way to the
lockers. As | rose to leave, though,
Broderick made a swift grab at my
rucksack, and asked me very seriously
it | had any knives or guns in there. |
picked up my jacket and proudly
asserted that the patches on it should
suggest pacifism, if anything. He
stared at my pot patches, and said
solemnly, “| hope you don't believe in
this, uh, Marijuana. You know its
possession is a felony in California.” |
looked him right in his fateye and told
him that when one travels, one does
not bring along drugs.

And | lett.

Outside the main gate | saw a few
surly Anaheim policemen and a
couple of Disneyland ollicials,

them, and politely asked where | could

Subsequently, one community after another

RESTO

Big Brother is Knocking on the Door

by Richard Preminger é

‘As the clandestine and covert operations of the F.B.1. and C.I.A. are coming to light, it
becomes increasingly important that the people redefine and reevaluate the exact purpose and
nature of these organizations. Is the purpose of the F.B.I. to tap phones of citizens without
probable cause? Is it the function of the C.1.A. to carry out domestic spying? Are the F.B.1. and
CLA. to be used as instruments of the president? As the infringement upon our civil liberties
becomes more and more apparent, the answer to these questions becomes exceedingly more
important.

Our government is one of checks and balances. Each branch of government checks the other
making sure no one branch usurps power not delegated to it by the Constitution. This is what
makes the problem with the F.B.1. and C.I.A. so crucial; who checks them? Who regulates their
activities, and more importantly who regulates the methods that they use? One could point out
that the president and attorney general regulate their activities, since both organizations fall
under the jurisdiction of the executive branch.

However, the fact that the president and attorney general have the power to regulate the F.B.1

. provides little comfort to most people, nor should it comfort anyone who witnessed

ard Nixon manipulated and used both organizations. Under ex-president Nixon the
C.LA. and F.B.1. were tools at his disposal. Tools Nixon arrogantly wielded to obstruct justice,
tap phones, and spy on citizens. We would be only kidding ourselves if we thought that Richard
Nixon was the only president to use the F.B.I. and C.I.A. for his own purpose. Yet, Nixon is the
perfect example of what happens when organizations that have as much power as the F.B.1. and
C.LA. are left responsible only to the executive,

This leadsus to another problem. Should the president have his own police force? Although he
is the commander in chief of our armed forces, does this entitle him to a domestic army? This
argument has merit on both sides. One side could cite that it isthe president's job to administor
the law, therefore he needs organizations like the F.B.1. and C.L.A. to help him enforce the law.
‘The other side could cite cases of wire tappings, and domestic spying where neither national
security or enforcement of the law were at stake, but rather just negligible abuses of citizen's
constitutional rights.

The need for the people to have more control of the F.B.1. and C.1.A. isan absolute necessity.
No longer must the people allow themselves to be kept in the dark as to the activitiesof the F.B.l
and C.1.A. This isnot to say that every citizen must beaware of these organizations activities, but
rather citizens should be appointed to a committee, selected by both the president and Congress
to overlook the activities and methods used by the F.B.1, and C..A.. In this was citizens could
have a larger say in these organizations operations.

Our founding fathers feared centralized power. They feared creating a government so
powerful that it could have the strength to tighten therein of individual freedom. The F.B.1. and
C.LA. represent the strength that the federal government can exhibit, organizations designed for
the purpose of helping the federal government However, timeand time agian
the F.B.L, and’C..A. help the government keap ig Sir rights. Unless we act in a
strong manner we shall soon start to feel the already tightening of our individual freedoms, and
the time to act is now.

The second sketch, Family, Family by Sally

characters were those found in any nuclear

roles were reversed. Mother was played by

‘The Black Ensemble presented the
play. String written by Alice
Childress this weekend in the Arend
‘Theater, ‘Unfortunately, publicity
for the show was virtually nil around
the campus and the theater was half
empty during the performance I
viewed. Although the sparse crowds
tended to dampen my enthusiasm,
the play tumed out to be not only
entertaining, but also an enlighten-
ing experience.

‘The program read “in cooperation
with experimental theater;
however, much of that cooperation
was lacking, according to members
of the all-black cast,

The plot action centered around
some black people attending a picnic
sponsored by their neighborhood
association. The characters
represented various black
stereotypic roles ranging from the
young, slightly arrogant, flashily
dressed cavalier to the played out
grandfather figure who has long
since outlived his usefulness in this
life, There was also the young, light
skinned black woman, both the
organizer of the picnic as well as the
social worker type. The cast was
completed by two “neighborhood”
women as well asa third who played
the part of a preadolescent girl.

The old man, Joe, played by
James Adams,-was always in the

way. The other characters shoved
him around anid accused: him of
stealing the wallet of the younger
flashy L.V. Craig (played by Michael
Barker). Their accusations were bas-
ed solely on circumstantial, trivial
bits of evidence; yet I too was led to
believe he (Joe) stole the wallet. Even
the organizer who wanted everyone
to get along and believed in the
goodness of people was convinced
that Joe had stolen the wallet. She
tried not to let this on to him but her
efforts were useless. What did come
through was an attempt to shame
him into guiltily. returning
something he hadn't taken at all, The
two characters interacted extremely
well with one another at this point
and one was left with a disturbing
sense of reality from this scene,

The quality of the acting in the
play was not very high. The actors
for the most part gave adequate if
‘not exceptional performances.-Mrs.
Beverly, one of the neighborhood
women (played by Stephanie
Stewart) had the potential to be
better but she started her perfor-
mance on such a high tense note that
she was left with nowhere to go asthe
play progressed. Joe, the old man
was by far the best actor in the show,
He spoke his lines with ease and
when he performed a dance on stage
his movements were completely
natural and flowing.

The script of String was mediocre.

Much of the dialogue was stilted but,
the actors did their best to create a
degree of authenticity on stage. It
was by no means 4 heavy intellectual
drama, but worked well as a means
for the blacks involved to laugh with
and perhaps at one another without
malice.The play showed the way in
which the members of the
neighborhood treated one of the
elder men.

Stereotyping worked well to
create laughs throughout String
The most memorable line was L.V.

all of the cast after the performance.
My original intent was to interview

she insisted that I speak with the en-
tire cast as String. was completely a
group effort.

No one seemed concerned with
upstaging anyone else, and conse-

quently the play's success was more
important than that of any of the in-
dividual performers. Backstage,
after the show, this group feeling was
evident, as all the actors were friend-
ly and relaxed, unlike previous ex-
periences with most experimental
theater groups,

String’ was by no meansa first rate
theatrical success; yet it offered
something entirely different to the
audience. A chance to laugh and en-
joy oneself without fear of missing
the important themes of the play.
More than anything, it was a social
commentary on the relationships
between some ordinary people.

The Albany Symphony Orchestra
concluded its 1974-75 season with a
colorful program. The two works,
Berlioz’ Symphony Fantastique and
Benjamin Britten's Spring
Symphony, as different as they were,
were similar in that both were highly
imaginative orchestral showpieces,
the latter employing a full chorus.

ductor was, as usual, in fine form

the tune of the applause of his ap-

season closed successfully. Berlioz’
piece was truly a means to thatend,

‘The “Fantastic” Symphony is in-
deed just that—a programmatic
symphony depicting an artist on a
bad opium trip as a result of an un-
happy love. She reappears in each
movement symbolized by an
awkward melody, molded and
cleverly disguised in the develop-
ment of each of the five sections.

he dreams he kills her and he himself

though, the melodic and lyrical

Greek mythology gives us a number.of words derived from the names of

but Hercules, by means of his shrewdness as well as his strength, performed

them all,

Proteus was a sea god who could change himself at will to various forms

many parts is sometimes humorously spoken of as « protean actor.

often as he bent his head to drink, the water receded and he was unable to

Electronic Collage

-Of Sound and Light

by Glenn Verdi

Franklin Morris, the head of the
electronic music lab at Syracuse Un-
iversity, visited the Performing Arts
Center here last Thursday afternoon
and brought with him six of his
videoart works, ‘The works were
presented in another of the Mu
Department's “Free Music Store’
afternoon concerts, Morris’ works
were kinescope films accompanied
by electronic music.

Mr. Morris attempted to explain
the technical end of his artwork
before he showed the films. He said
each work was filmed with a camera
placed in front of a T.V. monitor,
The camera filmed all the wildly
abstract images Morris was able to
put into the T.V. monitor using his
special effects generator. Each film
was made in this way, live and un-
edited. Whatever happened on the
T.V, monitor was filmed. Morris
controlled the progression of theim-
ages to some extent with a T.V,
studio control board.

Once a film was completed he
either composed an electronic music
soundtrack for it or mixed voices
and other sounds together to form a
sound collage backdrop for his
abstract video work.

Stopping between each of the six
works on the program, Morris told
of the speci! characteristics of each
specific film, One film was a collage
of slide picuites of things like the
Manhattan skyline, a box of saltine
crackers and the American fag. Phe
slides Were juxtaposed and) com
hined with some special effects
produce a colorfully artful visual ex-
perience. The sound accompanying
the film way engrossing electronic
music produced in Mortis’ yyn-
thesizer lab.

Another film was t political satire
of sorts. Though very abstractly
produced and filmed, the images of
ex-President Nixon came across
well. The sound behind the film was

ition of Nixon speeches,
music and electronic
sounds.

‘The remainder of the works
Morris screened for the fifty of us
assembled in the PAC Recital Hall
were strikingly colorful collages of
ripidly changing visual images. Du
ing these four films 1 could concen-
tratemoreon the soundtrack which |
found interesting and different, Mr.
Morris said that he had little or no
concern for any continuity between
the sound and the visual images;
however, the sound seemed to fit the
visual images very well. I believe the
overall continuity of the audio and
visual aspects of each work lay in
their similar avant-garde nature.
Since both the sound and theimages
were basically abstract, they fit each
other rather naturally

On the whole, Mr, Morris’ works
were refreshingly inventive and
tustefully synthesized. They were as
Well orgitnized asany edited abstract
film 1 have ever seen, Since Mr.
Morris creates the works totally live,
with no editing, his skill in both
audio and video electronic

ipulation was more evident.

Dane Pitchers Impressive

“To arms! To arms!" No, the red-

“All the pitchers looked good,”
said leftfielder Mike Gamage, com-
menting on the way the all-righty
Dane pitching staff handled the Ver-
mont bats in the two-game scrim-
mage held here on Friday. The final
scores show Vermont with a 1-0 win
in the first game and a 1-1 tie in the
second. But in scrimmages, it’s not

As was the case last season,
Albany will probably garner most of
their points in the field events, but
Brown and Paffrath will be out to
change that, by adding sorely needed
strength in the cunning area

stalled. But Dollard’s pitching per-
formance was the encouraging news.

Dollard “looked sharp again,”
said the coach, and conceded that
the strong sophomore would open
today's game against Hartwick. “He
(Dollard) might even go Saturday if
he looks good out there on Tuesday
(today).”

Dollard is now coming off two
strong pitching performances in a
tow. Besides his work on Friday, he
turned in a masterful five-hitter last
Saturday against Cortland in win-
ning 2-1. In that contest, he picked
up cight strikeouts in seven innings,
while not allowinga hit over the final
three.

Burlingame, obviously pleased,
said, “He looks the best (of the staff)
right now.”

Relieving Dollard in that first
scrimmage game was relief ace Bob
Kronenberger. Krone pitched
scoreless ball over the final two
frames and continues to impress. His
only subpar effort of the season
‘came in last week's Siena tilt when he
contributed heavily to the Dane's 7-2
Joss in the ninth,

Rick Okoniewski started in the se-
cond game of the Vermont scrim-

ind threw fairly welt in histwo
innings. His arm bothered him
slightly but it was understandable
because the hard-throwing righty
had pitched cight plus innings on
Tuesday.

Starting Rotation Set

‘Tom Blairalso pitched two frames
worth in that second game and gave
up the only Vermont tally by walk-
ing in a run. Blair is the number two

tarter in Burlingame’s mound corps

right now, but may be in jeopardy
because of a bidding Glenn
Sowalskie.

‘Sowalskie pitched two fine in-
nings on Friday and Jooked good in
his only start last week in a winning
effort against RPL “If Glenn comes
on, he can take Blair's place,” mused
Burlingame. Blair, incidentally, is a
converted infielder from the fall
campaign. His forte is hitting and is
one of the Dane's “big three” hitters
along with Vic Giulianelli and Jay
Milauskas.

Possible Starter

If Sowalskie. can produce,
Burlingame hopes that will free Blair
for full-time hitting duty. Sowalskie
is also a possible starter in Satur-
day's home doubleheader and
could be his big opportunity to take
over the number two job behind
Dollard

Jim Witloughby saw limited ac-
tion in the Vermont scrimmage but
turned in a scoreless inning of work.

pitcher, when not seeing third base

Cards Deck Tracksters

by Jon Lafayette

Coach Bob Munsey said it all
when he said “That's oneof the great
things about track meets, even ifyou
lose, someone can still have an out-
standing performance that he can be
proud of.” Despite coming in second
ina four-way meet, beating Oswego
and Oneonta but being out pointed
by Plattsburgh, some individual per-
formances sparkled for Albany.

Jim Pollard set a track record and
aan Albany team record by running
the 120 yard high hurdles in 14.9
seconds, smashing the old record of
15.3, set only a week ago by Albiny’s
Dave Cole, This meet also saw Rudy
Vido qualify for the NCAA national
tournament, held this year at
Baldwin-Williams College in Berea,
Ohio, by putting the shot 50° 4

Carlo Cheribino may also have
qualified, but discrepancies in the
published qualifying times cloud the
issue, One copy of the rules sets the
qualifying mark at30 minutes and 30
seconds; another at 30:25. Curlo's
time of 30:29 may or may not be
good enough but Couch Munsey
promises “he'll get enough chances
to qualify, und he will.”

Albany came out strong, king

Brian Davis ran the mile in 4:25.1

would have broken the record, Dave

Alter being shut out in the triple

managing only a fourth by Roger

Plattsburgh 52-52 with six events
remaining.

Plattsburgh took 1-2 in the 220
with Gary Johnson finishing third,

Tom Cleary and Paul Hoeltzel took
the javelin, with Plattsburgh
finishing third and fourth to even
things up. Plattsburgh led by only
‘one at 63-62

The three mile was a great race to
watch, Carlo Cheribino, who had
won the six miles earlier in the meet,
was the lone Albany entry versus
four Plattsburgh runners. For nine
laps the four Plattsburgh runners
stayed in a close formation, taking
turns in first, with Cheribino staying
right behind them. With two laps
left, Carlo made his move, going up

He just didn’t have enough left so

Some Excitement

Despite the fact that Albany did
not place in any of the last three
events, (Plattsburgh won all three)
there was some excitement, Joe
Demarie, a pole vaulter from
Plattsburgh broke a track record
that had stood for six years, making
it the oldest existing Atbany track
record, Demarie’s vault of 149"
broke the record held by Greg Olson
of Boston State which was set in
1969.

Coach Munsey was proud of the
way his team hung in despite being
beaten in manpower. “We did pretty

into the lockeroom at the half.

Neither team really asserted itself

And indeed they did, Colgate had

his second goal of the quarter, pret-
ty play from Kevin Hilly, who was
playing behind, to Pete who was

Albany still was having their
troubles early in the fourth quarter.

game.

Then Dennis Walsh tied the game
for State as he blasted one home

added a final score to ice the gamie

President Louis T. Benezet made a rare appearance before Central Council
last Wednesday night in a somewhat belated gesture of unity between
students and administrators who, as a result of the recent budget cuts, have
found themselves bound in an urgent atmosphere of cooperation.

Benezet made promises for increased student involvement in the budgetary
process. “Ifthe Student Association has representatives here in June, we will
gladly include them," he said, referring (o plans for the 1976-77 budget which
will start in June, It remains to be seen whether the future President Fields is
of the same mind

Much emphasis was placed on the erroneous affluent image that many
legislators have of SUNYA, as 4 cause of disproportionate cuts it has
received, compared to th university centers, “There are forees in the
machinery of government that have chosen to consider Albany as
overendowed,” said Benezet, who asserts that, as a result, “we have been
selectively and discriminately cut, and cut, and cut over the past three yeurs
by the legislature.”

Chancellor Boyer has promised that SUNYA will receive top priority in
the supplemental budget, scheduled to come up in late May, says Benezet
SUNYA is secking total restoration of the $804,000 cut. “Without
supplementary funds,” warns Benezet, “we are confronted with the
possibility of immediate retrenchment, which is a euphemism for firing
According to Benezet. many teachers’ jobs “are literally hanging in
the balance.”

Plans for increased student enrolment next year and in the years
following, will qualily SUNYA for additional funds. But recent problems
withovererowded dorms have rtised important questionsas to where thes
students will be housed.

Benezet assured Council that “We don't want to pack them into this
podium or into the quads." He mentioned University assistance in fin
appropriate off-campus housing as one possible alternative.

Dean of Student Affairs Neil Brown says, “We don’t plan a repeat of the
fall of "74," When asked if students would be housed in lounges or tripled up
next year, heavoided any definite comitment, sayingonly, “As faras I see it,
our every effort will be against that,” According to Brown, thereare “a dozen
or so ideas” now beingconsidered for easingthe dorm situation, Hedeclined,
however, to give them specifically.

“The good news is, our dorms won't be empty next year,” said Brown,
adding reluctantly, “The bad news is that about 300 more upper level
students have opted to stay on campus.” When added to the larger freshman
class anticipated for next year, the resulting situation is one that has no easy

solutions,

“Ifall the projections that we see noware accurate, there might be as many
as 300, 400 or $00 [extra] people who apply to live in residence halls,

could serve to lower this figure. According to Brown, many people put down

commented, “As long as it’s

issue. “You couldn't have program=

"L think it's one of the best deals

another candidate for the presiden-
cy, pointing to the many: groups,
clubs, and activities that the man-

d that with a voluntary tax
there would be no way of knowing
how much money was available until
around mid-September, Therefore
no programs could be planned until
that time

Another of the presidential ean-
didates,Nathan Salant, gave full
support for the mandatory tax.
Salant too feared that “a lot of
groups would suffer” undera volun-
tary tx situation, In addition,
Salant mentioned that “the students
will be forced to pay indirectly if they
vote down the mandatory student
ax,” referring to resulting increases
in various fees, admissions, and
dues,

Vice-presidentia! candidate Jon
Levenson cited “a stable running of
student activities throughout the
year” as his rationale for supporting
the mandatory tax. However Leven
son was critical of the manner in
which the tax is dispersed. He feels
that groups who come before SA

Levenson’s sole opponent for the
Vice-presidency Rick Meckler also
supports the mandatory tax,

Meckler also showed some dive
content with SA's budgetary
decisions, “Ti like to see better use of

Presidential candidate Kim
Kreiger, the only candidate who
preferred not to take a stand on the
ax issue, said that "the tax question
should be left to the students to
decide.” Kreiger believes that_no
matter what the students’ decision is,
she will be able 10 work with it if
elected

Spencer Livingston, the other
presidential candidate, was not
available for comment,

The candidates cited many of SA's
problems and described their ideas
about solving them

Many of the candidates feel that
SA suffers aff around from a lack of
communication with the students,
with the administration, and inter=
nally.

Kreiger sees this lack of com-
munication as one of SA President
Pat Curran’s biggest problems, "His
[Curran] big problem was that he
