Harpur
Freeze ?
by Maida Oringher
The scene at SUNY at
Binghamton could have been
Albany a few weeks ago. Three
Harpur students have issued a suit
charging that the $2,200 appropri-
ation to the anti-war Student
Mobilization Committee last
spring had been used “to foster
political activity beyond the con-
fines of the SUNY Binghamton
campus.” The students, Michael
Stever, Richard Glick and Barry
Kriegei, state they are acting as
“individuals.” Their legal fees,
however, are being funded by the
national conservative group—
Young Americans for Freedom.
On Friday, October 30, the
court granted a show-cause order
against Harpur Acting President S.
Stewart Gordon, the United Stu-
dent Government President J.
O’Rourke, and FSA President
Demske which must be answered
by NOvember 20.
Last year President Gordon had
approved a $2,200 appropriation
requested by theSMC in order to
“increase dialogue with the com-
munity.” The purpose of the
recent suit is to test the Trustees
guidelines in compliance with the
Albany case. University funds can-
not be used for political activities,
but only for “educational” pur-
poses. The SMC asserts that it
does not endorse political candi-
dates, and therefore, is not a
Political organization.
Last week in accordance with
the guidelines, President Gordon
vetoed 2 student-government
appropriations totaling $250.
These funds would directly or
indirectly have gone to the Angela
Davis defense fund.
The mandatory tax fee at
Harpur is $30. The majority of
the students willingly pay the fee
and are in opposition to the
recent suit,

“The limitations in the pro-
ducation and consumption of
energy” is the paramount problem
we face today according to Rene
Dubos, microbiologist and philo-
sopher. Dubos spoke here Tues-
day as the guest of the Environ-
mental Forum,
Dubos predicted the establish-
ment of a new “dynamic steady-
state economy” within the next
20 years which would limit
quantitative production and com-
sumption while still having the
potentiality for qualitative
change.
This is the second time in two
weeks that an ecologist speaking
at SUNYA has called for drastic
changes in our economic struc-
ture. On Oct. 14, Kenneth Watt in
a definitely more pessimistic pre-
sentation predicted an economic
collapse within 36 months be-
cause of the obsoleteness of the
Present economic structure.
“Trend is not destiny.” Sce-
narios for the future usually por-
tray “human life completely en-
slaved by technology,” according
to DuBos. This is a view of the
future solely as an extension and
extrapolation of the present. But,
according toDuBos, this vision of
the future includes a serious fal-
lacy. The world does not have the
natural resources to support a

Dubos Speaks on Ecology
continuing quantitative growth. It
is physically impossible for us to
continue growing in the present
manner.
The production of energy is the
most crucial aspect of this prob-
lem, “You cannot produce energy
by any means without producing
heat...and the introduction of
heat into the environment always
alters the quality of life.”
Dubos was especially critical of
the American technological struc-
ture which he feels “must be
restructured so that it can better
work for human needs.” In the
past “technology has produced
things that we have used whether
they have helped us or not, like
the automobile.”
The population problem,
according to Dubos, is not as
crucial as the energy problem.
“Man has always wanted to be
crowded..Man has selected himself
to live in crowded settlements.”
American cities are much less
crowded than cities anywhere in
the world. New York City is much
less crowded than were Neolithic
settlements or Mideval towns.
Dubos believes that “the archi-
tecture of cities should reflect the
possibilities of peoples’ potentiali-
ties..Monotony is an anti-physio-
logical condition, as well as being
boring...The maintenance of men-
tal, stability depends on a suf-
ficient variety of sensory stimul
“Disposable cubicles for dispen-
sable people” are.products of ef-
ficiency, of an economy centered
on production of goods. Dubos
hopes that the emphasis on ef-
ficiency will shift to an emphasis
on diversity which is
people-centered.
Dubos sees a revolution in life
styles which has already begun as
the social vehicle which will make
possible the transition from our
current economic structure to a
new one,
After his formal presentation
Dubos answered questions, and
gave encouragement to students
and faculty at a reception in the
art gallery.
Throughout his life Dubos has
been intensely concerned with the
effects that environmental
forces—physiochemical, _biologi-
cal, and social—exert on human
life. He has been involved in the
socio-medical problems of under-
privileged communities where he
has concentrated on the early
environmental factors that influ-
ence the developing organism
during the prenatal and early post-
natal period.
Recently! Dubos has developed a
number of experimental- models
that enable him to study environ-
mental influences on animals in
the laboratory.

Fight
For Voting Right
Terry Wolf
Jean Dixon and Anne Catanese,
two students at Albany State,
along with eight other students
from the area, were victorious in
their effort to vote last Tuesday
after being denied this right under
an 1874 law.
All the students involved have
lived in apartments in Albany for
over a year. Earlier this fall they
registered to vote in their respec-
tive districts. They were given
permission to register although a
challenge was made, they were
told, as a mere formality. One
week later a policeman checking
into the case told the students
their vote wouldn’t count ona
legal technicality.
Tom Maxwell, Republican fifth
ward president, told election in-
spectors to fight the Democratic
dominated election board’s deci-
sion. Maxwell wants change in the
New York State law and statute
which states that “‘classes of
people will not be deemed to gain
or loose residence by virtue of
their presence or absence in semi-
naries of learning,”
Jean, Anne, and the others re-
ceived a letter from the Board of
Elections asking them to appear at
a hearing on October 31 to show
cause why they should vote in
Albany. The ten students involved
felt they met all the prerequisites
for voting in Albany County: they
are over 21, they are United
States citizens, independent from
their parents, they have jobs, they
have savings and checking ac-
counts in Albany, and they intend
to remain in the area for an
indefinite amount of time.
When they recdved notice Mon-
day, the day before the election,
that their registration was can-
celled, it was already too late to
register elsewhere or vote through
an absentee ballot. The letters,
they noticed, werepostmarked be-
fore the date of the interview.
After meeting with their lawyer,
John Starrs, an affadavit and peti-
tion were presented on Tuesday
before the State Supreme Court,
the only authority to grant an
order allowing the students to
vote. More students were ex-
pected to be turned away at the
polls, some with and others with-
out notification.
Anne went in first to meet with
Judge Conway, a court reporter,
and John Clyne, the attorney for
the Albany County Democratic
legislature. Several hours later
Judge Conway delivered his State-
ment of Opinion in which he
granted the students the right to
vote on the grounds that the letter
was postmarked a day earlier than
the hearing, the letter gave no
reason for the denial, and the
absence of signatures on certain
records.
Tom Maxwell has objected to
the policy of the Board of Elec-
tions. The law, applied across the
state, is vague, and is generally
used against the young who find it
hard to establish their own resi-
dence. He further believes those
over 21 should be able to declare
where their home is. The decision
was disappointing to him because it
was made on technicalitiies, not
on the merits of the law, Max-
well’s immediate plans are to con-
tact the president of Student As-
sociation and possibly have a
meeting with interested students.
He wants to amend the present
law so that students can work
from within the system,
John Starrs, lawyer for the stu-
dents, believes the law puts an
unfair burden on students. He
feels that decisions on residence
can’t be made just because some-
one is a student. The issue may
discourage students from making
Albany their home. Older pre-
cedents are being relied onand
Starr feels it will be hard to pursue
the intricacies of the law. A deci-
sion may be pressed for under a
civil rights clause. There are, it is
felt by Starr and Maxwell, good
reasons to pursue the case further.
Famed microbiologist Rene Dubos makes a point to a group of
students following his lecture to the Environmental Forum on
Tuesday.

Benezet Clears Air
On Several Issues
by Kenneth Deane
Various topics concerning stu-
dent and administrative affairs
were discussed at Tuesday’s Cam-
pus Forum, the President’s bi-
weekly encounter with students
and faculty.
President Benezet in opening the
meeting moved to settle any mis-
understanding concerning the pro-
jected restaurant for the Indian
Quad Tower. Contrary to previous
plans the restaurant will be avail-
able for both student and faculty
use. The restaurant will serve both
as a catering and dining facility.
During the discussion a ques-
tion arouse concerning the delin-
quent payment of parking viola-
tions by members of the faculty.
These outstanding fines amount
to $18,000, money which could
properly be employed in the con-
struction of a badly needed Colo-
nial Quad parking lot.
President Benezet stated that
he recognized the problem and
would do all he could to
publicize violations and invoke
sanctions against those delinquent
in payment.
Also discussed was the pos-
sibility of operating a birth con-
trol clinic on campus. It was

An Issue:
Peace Corps
by Bob Kanarek
Lately, there has been.a great
deal of opposition to the Peace
Corps. Spearheaded by the CRV
(Committee of Return Volun-
teers), the movement has been
calling for an international organi-
zation such as the Peace Corps.
The reason for this is to rid the
volunteers of the “American
image” that hinders them in their
efforts around the world, Accord-
ing to Mr. L. Lundberd, an ex»
volunteer in Micronesia, however,
the Peace Corps is
“‘people...human beings relating
with each other, not politics.”
On Nov. 2-4, representatives
from the Peace Corps were at
SUNYA, in search of interested
and qualified students as prospec-
tive members. Although pleased
by student interest and attend-
ance at the interviews, movie and
panel discussion they presented,
there seemed to be a substantial
amount of student concern in
regard to the Corps’ political ties.
The Peace Corps is “a way of
dealing with the world on a realis-
tic level,” said Lundberg. “I
wanted to do work that involved
people,” he said, “it’s one small
effort, but you have to start some-
where.” He expressed the need for
specialized graduates in the Corps.
In response to opposition to the
Peace Corps, he said that the
Corps was at least a “‘vehicle for a
person to do something positive.”
As for America, he said that the
Peace Corps is “one of the best
things we’ve got going for us.””

COLUMNS
Inside Construction
by Dennis Whitehead
Prior to this year, I am sure that if you asked
college men what type of summer employment
seemed most desirable, at least half of them would
have indicated something in construction. And why
not: the pay is good, you get in good shape, and
you gain some prestige among your peers. Over the
past year, however, the hard hat has become the
symbol of conservative America: waving the flag,
beating radicals, eating lunch with tricky Dick, and
crying like babies whenever Spiro proceeds to
polemicize the putrefaction of patriotic principles
by pestiferously perverse pupils. So when I chanced
to find a summer job with a masonry firm in
Suffolk County, I wondered just how the hard hats
would react to an “enemy” in their midst.
I was hired as a masonry laborer. This is a human
pack horse who carries around 75-pound cement
blocks (one in each hand), digs ditches, pushes
around 400-pound wheelbarrows of mortar, builds
scaffolds, etc. ‘he laborer is considered secondary
to the bricklayer, a person who generally stands
around with other bricklayers complaining about
how lazy the laborers are, and who occasionally lays
a brick. All the rest of the work is done by the
laborers, each one of whom is supposed to take care
of three bricklayers. On any construction site, it is
easy to tell them apart: All the bricklayers are
white, and all the laborers (with one or two
exceptions) are black.
The first few days of work involved an agonizing
process of discovering just how many muscles (all of
them aching) are contained in the human body. For
the first week I did very little talking on the job
(mainly because I was panting), but as I got used to
the routine, I was able to converse while working.
The laborers’ foreman, a gregarious black named
Lee, was the first to ask whether I was a college
student. My affirmative response did not pass
unnoticed:
“Hey greenie, show us some of that college
knowledge! Ha ha ha!” (Pant, pant.)
“You ought to be in good shape, kid, what with
all those protest marches and everything.” (Gee, I
never thought of it that way, I feel better already.)
“Just keep your opinions to yourself, kid, and
we'll get along fine.” (Oh goody.)
“Guess this is the first real work you’ve ever done,
eh kid?” (No, we used a very heavy bomb on the
administration building.)
“Well, youngblood, I’ll bet you can’t wait to get
back to school.” (Oh, I don’t know—you meet so
many interesting people here.)
I was a celebrity.
A few of the bricklayers (who make $7.76 an
hour) had kids in college, and I was often asked for
the “inside story” on the spring strikes and on
student attitudes in general. During lunch one day a
bricklayer sat next to me and said that his daughter
at the University of Rochester did not like Spiro T.
Agnew, and would I please explain why this was so.
“After all, he speaks up for America, so he must be
good.” I told him that I didn’t think that he was
making this a better nation to live in, inasmuch as he
was attempting to divide the country in order to
promote the more primitive elements of the Repub-
lican party; but I didn’t get my point across. Our
definitions of patriotism differed too radically.
Perhaps the most surprising thing I learned during
the summer was that most of the workers (especia-
lly the laborers) were anti-Nixon on many issues,
notably the economy. Most felt that the war should
be ended fast, one way or the other, with about
three-fourthsof those favoring a “bomb ’em to hell”
attitude. Virtually no one imagined Nixon to be a
friend of the working man, and from what I could
gather it seemed that most had voted against him
and would do so again given the right opponent.
whites (by their own admission) voted on pocket-
book issues, while the black paid attention to racial
issues as well. All the laborers spoke often of racial
matters and were well-read in this area. Their acute
dissatisfaction with the present administration
should prove to anyone that you can’t turn off a
man’s distaste for bigotry with a big salary ($6.56
an hour for the laborers).
At no time did I hear any kind of racial slur from
the bricklayers, partially because one would not
want to have that kind of remark overheard by a
group of men resembling an army of black Bobby
Hulls. But, more significantly, there was a latent
man-for-man
pect for the laborers because on any _|
Albany State:
Where Are You?
by John O'Grady.
Features Editor
I am moved to write this mainly
by my experience at the last
meeting of Central Council’s
Grievance Committee, day before
yesterday. I had the experience of
being a reporter at a meeting in
which I was the only participant;
the other person at the meeting
was the chairman of the commit-
tee, Dave Peck, and, oh yes, one
other lonely soul who wandered
in half an hour later (interrupting
our pleasant chat) to complain
about complications in the pre-
registration procedure. All present
speculated on whether the remain-
ing 8,000 undergraduates on cam-
pus might have similar complaints,
and on that constructive note the
meeting of the Grievance Commit-
tee was adjourned.
But that’s only beginners. Since
aspiring to contribute my services
to this, the only campus news-
paper, I find I can better under-
stand most of the great move-
ments in this University Com-
munity, and I find that one of the
greatest of these movements be-
gins at the Ride Board in the
Campus Center and rumbles to
Long Island and back every week-
end. We're thinking of printing an
underground supplement, Bare
ASP, with which we lure people
back onto the campus with extre-
mist rhetoric.
I suppose my complaint is some-
what unjustified, as I was not
around for the actions of last
Spring. Having quit college last
year to take a vacation from
intellectual pursuits (an idea I
would recommend to many a dis-
illusioned student), my perspect-
ive on the Strike was that of an
outsider. The impression we out-
construction site their job is the most demanding
and, despite constant grumblings to the contrary,
the bricklayers (or any other craftsmen) know it.
While riding into town one day on the noon beer
pickup, the bricklayer with me (who was extensive-
ly tattooed, spoke with a South Carolina accent,
and carried a pack of cigarettes rolled up under the
sleeve of his bright blue overtight muscle shirt)
asked me if I was finding the job tougher than I had
expected, and I said yes. He told me, “Y’know, I
used to hate niggers, all of ’em on welfare and livin’
off the whites. But when I see how hard you guys
work, I'd be the first to speak up for em. I sure as
hell wouldn’t want to work that hard.””
“Would you want a black working as a bricklayer
next to you?”
“T guess so, if he was willin’ to work.”
“Would you want one to live next door to you?”
(Pause.) “If he worked like these guys, I guess I
wouldn’t mind it too much. It depends on the
man.”
So the question arises, why is the bricklayers’
union lily-white if, as others in it also told me, they
admire the blacks? First, there is clearly a form of
discrimination in the unwritten rule that only
relatives or friends of men already in the union will
be accpeted for membership. But the other two
reasons stem from the vicious economic cycle of
poverty which oppresses black people. There is a
high initiation fee (about $250) to join the union,
which is a lot of money for anyone to come up
with, let alone someone who needs and wants a job
badly. Then there is a three-and-a-half year appren-
ticeship, which pays under $90 a week. There is no
apprenticeship for a laborer, and hence the prospect
of a $200+-a-week job available right away becomes
more attractive to an economically depressed person
than a job which initially pays less than half that.
Just before I was laid off in mid-August (a victim
of the economic slowdown), I asked Ron, a well-
liked laborer I had become good friends with, why
he didn’t quit his position and become a bricklayer.
His reply tells something of what it is like to be a
laborer: ‘You know, I hate being a laborer, I always
have. I come home at night, have a beer, watch TV,
and go to bed. I’m too damned tired to do anything
else. But I’m used to the big money now. I’ve got a
big house, two cars, a boat, and I couldn’t ask my
wife and kids to give it all up for three-and-a-half
years and to back to living the way we did, in a
crowded apartment, before I got this job. I've got
no education, so what else could I possibly do to
earn this kind of money? What could I possibly ever
do?
He turned back to heaving bricks onto a scaffold. I
came back to school. SF
siders got was that a lot of shit
flew around last year, a lot of
guilty concrete and clay got
knocked out of business, and a lot
more visitors came to the beaches
and mountains. On the positive
side, from my better perspective
as a twenty-year-old, I got the
impression that many students
met with administrators for the
first time, talked with one another
more intelligently than they ever
had before, and also got a taste of
what a violent revolution might be
like in the future.
Violent or not, if there was so
much shit flying around last
spring, where did it all land? How
many more adminstrators are con-
fronted by real live students this
year, as opposed to two years
ago? How many more students are
involved in shaping college curri-
cula? How much support is Free
School getting? Who’s working in
the ghetto downtown, or investi-
gating the racism and bureaucracy
at the South Mall Project? How
many students are complaining
about the food, the parking prob-
lem, the library, the construction
work, the pollution; but how
many are complaining to their
girlfriends?
To answer my questions: Presi-
dent Benezet’s forum with the
students every other week attracts
a coterie of about a dozen regulars
and maybe one or two gapers-on;
there were two dozen people at a
forum on the future of the library
held last Wednesday, including
three faculty members and five or
six representatives of the library
staff; out of 1500 to 2000 under-
graduates in the Teacher Educa-
tion Program, most of whom will
vehemently protest to the nearest
pillar that Teacher Education
courses are a total waste of time,
there are now approximately five
undergraduate students involved
on any committee at all to change
the situation; a questionnaire on
the conditions of Indian Quad got

I began with a short note on the
Grievance Committee, and would
like to correct the impression I
might have given that there’s been
no response at all that this rather
basic tool of student participa-
tion. Grievance Committee has
held four meetings thus far, the
fourth of which I described above;
the first three attracted a gather-
ing of about seven students each,
and solved several complaints
ranging in importance from minor
to crucial. A student got his
money back for two tee-shirts
bought at the bookstore; the Arts
Council acquired a table in the
Campus Center; letters were sent
to other New York State Univer-
sities asking specific information
on room and board rates and on
policies relating to these services,
in order to discover possible in-
equities at Albany State; and
other business too detailed to
mention. The Grievance
Committee is an important arm of
Central Council, which shouldrep-
resent the views of the student
body; four meetings for 8,000
bitchy students should not be
enough in 1970.
You may take the preceding
exhortation seriously, or you may
call it flag-waving, but in any case
I won’t go further in the “need to
communicate” file, that bottom-
less yawning pit of committees,
slogans, marches, leaflets, and
other political machinations
which lure men into thinking that
there’s nothing more to do be-
cause everything’s been said. You
may also consider this column a
filler needed for the page because
no one else was making any news
on campus, and you'd be very
close to right if you thought that,
and you’d be a long way toward
understanding my point.
Let us all ride off now to create
the world in our own image, but
let’s supplement our political mo-
tivations with evnergy and
honesty. I close with the follow-
ing form The Pogo Papers by Walt
Kelley: Resolve then, that on this
very ground, with small flags wav-
ing and tinny blasts on trumpets,
we shall meet the enemy, and not
only may he be ours, he may be

The Campus Center Governing
Board has reinstituted last year’s
highly successful program of Cof-
fee-House style entertainment.
The Cireut will be presenting on-
campus talent as well as perform-
ers from the area this year.
An informal atmosphere is main-
tained through the use of low
lights and round tables, as well as
casual dress and good company.
The first program featured Chris
and Brian, a flute and guitar duo,
in two shows at 10 and 12:30
p.m, W.C. Fields movies were
shown during the break between
shows.
However, last week’s Halloween
Party was an even greater success.
Magician Clayton Albright pro-
duced a combination of magic and
humor which allowed everyone
there to forget their cares for a
while.
The next presentation will be
held on November 13 and 14, and
will feature John Simpson, who
some of you may remember from
his appearances at The Cellar.
Coffee House Circut is
will be held during the second
weekend in December. However,
the cireut will return with a new
show every other weekend
throughout the spring semester,
Admission is free. The Coffee

JEFFERSON 23
444 ATRPLANE
With the success of its best-
-selling ‘‘Surrealistie Pillow”,
Jefferson Airplane emerged as the
nation’s most exciting contem-
porary musical group.
Composed of lead singers Marty
Balin and Grace Slick, lead guitar-
ist Jorma Kaukonen, bass guitarist
Jack Casady, drummer Spencer
Dryden, and Paul Kantner, singer
and guitarist, Jefferson Airplane
has created a sound drawn from
the jazz, folk, blues and rock ‘n’
roll backgrounds of its individual
members.
Very much the voice of today’s
“happening” generation, the Air-
plane has it’s roots in the much
talked about San Francisco scene.
The first Bay Area group to gain a
strong national following, Jeffer-
son Airplane does not sing songs
of protest, but rather of love.
In his song “Fat Angel,” folk
singer Donovan, refers to the
group by name, describing it as

To: Robert Rosenbaum
From: Madelyn Boyd
A Black student of S.U.N.Y.A.
At what period of time, did you
become a great critic of Black
music? Just because you've listen-
ed to a few Black records (it’s the
“IN” thing to do now, you
know), you think you know what
Black music is all about. As far as
I'm concerned, “You” not being
Black, but Jewish, you couldn't
possibly know where Isaac Hayes,
(Oct. 6, 1970) is ‘coming from.
(You probably don’t know where
I’m coming from.)
Now, Robbie-Baby!! Don’t you
know all the Psychedelic-Manic
music, (as with all your music), is
merely an attempted take-off of
the Black music? I could really go
into avery heavy discussion about
Black music, But I won't. (It may
be a little above your head.)
There is a message I must give
you and all the other so-called
authorities of Black music. “If
you don't have “SOUL”, you
can’t relate in any way, fashion,
shape, or form to what SOUL
music (as you call it), is all
about !111!
STICK TO YOUR BOOKS,
BABY! A CRITIC OF BLACK
MUSIC YOU AIN'T!
Dear Miss Boyd:
I will try to reply to your letter
as clearly and rationally as possi-
ble.
As for my qualifications of
Black music—I guess that all de-
pends on your criteria, doesn’t it?
If it’s the amount of records
listened to (as you suggest) that
should be considered, it has been
more than a few—well over a
thousand would be more accurate.
I've found that reading several
books by such important critics as
Andre Hodier, Leroi Jones,
Gunther Schuller, Nat Hentoff
and Martin Williams, et. al., and
reading Down Beat magazine is of
great assistance in forming an edu-
cated opinion
I can’t accept my religion as
having anything to do with the
matter. I’d hate to thing that my
being Jewish restricts me to criti-
cizing the Freilich. But if your
flimsy logic was correct, wouldn't
this also apply to you? Can you
judge properly books written,
plays and movies produced and
music played by whites? Not a
comfortable suggestion, is it?
‘As for psychedelic music being
“merely an attempted take-off on
Black music’’ I believe you are
confusing being imitative with be-
ing influenced by. The Rolling
Stones for example are not imitat-
ing B.B, King (they sound quite
differently) but there can be no
question that King has influenced
them either directly or indirectly.
I think my not having soul is a
very moot point. But I find it
rather amusing that around the
beginning of this century white
classical musicians were accusing
black jazz musicians of not having
soul. That type of invective is
usually a last resort. At any rate
soul has nothing to do with skin.
By the way it might be a good
idea to read my review before you
criticize it. If you paid as much
heed to what I wrote as you did
to my religious origin you would
have discovered that I liked Issac
Hayes as well as you; And the
album also with some reservation.
You might be surprised to find
out how much soul music is
drenched with gimmicks at the
direction of a white producer, not
because he has soul, but to make a
fast buek.

“trans-love airlines.” Look Maga-
zine has a five page color spread
titled “Jefferson Airplane Loves
You” called the Airplane’s music
“love rock.””
The Airplane’s list of personal
appearances is a unique amalgam
of jazz festivals, college campus
concerts, teen dance palaces,
nightclubs and television shows.
Included among the many firsts
the Airplane has to its credit are
the first folk rock group to appear
at the Berkeley Folk Festival and
the Monterey and Pacific Jazz
Festivals as well as the first rock
group to appear on NBC-TV’s
“Bell Telephone Hour.”
Jefferson Airplane has also head-
lined some of the nation’s most
popular night spots including New
York’s Gife Au-Go-Go, Boston’s
Unicorn, Chicago’s Mother Blues,
San Francisco’s Basin Street West
and Fillmore Auditorium and Los
Angeles’ Cheetah, Kaleidescope
and Whiskey A Go-Go.
Reviews of its appearances from
coast-to coast have been unani-
mous in their praise of the group’s
style, skill and musicianship. Var-
iety called Jefferson Airplane
“One of the best and most lyrical
of the new blues-rock groups.”
The Los Angeles Times said the
group’s sound is “...a swinging
combination of wit and fervor,”
while the San Francisco Examiner
said “The Airplane has already
achieved voice balance and tonal-
ities utterly beyond the unsophis-
ticated fraternity pop-rock banal-
ities...”
If you don’t believe in critics,

‘Sympathy’ And ‘Wind From Eas
Show Godard’s
by Tom Quiqley
Jean-Luc Godard’s SYMPATHY
FOR THE DEVIL is a film about
revolution, fascism, democracy,
and media of all kinds including
music, literature, and of course
film. Those who believe that the
movie is pure “revolutionary”
cinema, however, have been hood-
winked by a master satirist.
The themes and messages of
revolution are there but Godard’s
presentation of realism is sugar-
coated. Somehow it cannot be
taken that seriously. The film
stars the Rolling Stones, who are
hassling their way through a re-
cording session of their song
Sympathy for the Devil. They
can’t seem to get together and
Godard uses the metaphor of their
disoriented jam session to illus-
trate the confusion within the
movement.
The film is -ircular in nature and
Godard’s emphasis is upon circu-
lar images, dialogues, and intricate
camera movements that follow
circular patterns. The film has
incredibly forceful and hilarious
moments.
For example the porno book
store sequence with the fascist
proprietor reading from Hitler's
Mein Kampf, the Yes-No ques-
tionnaire interview with Anna
Wiazemski who represents demo-
cracy, and the sequence in the
junkyard where black militants
are trying to get their revolution
together but somehow, like the
Stones, are traveling in repetitious
circles.
Godard abandons the conven-
tional use of montage and lets his
camera’capture movement in long,
sometimes tedious lengths of film,
Godard’s Marxist learnings tend to
make him didactic but there is
much in what he says that is hard
truth,
It is only when Godard the artist
lapses into propaganda, in the
dubious name of “revolutionary
cinema” that the serious intention
of his work is marred. No matter
whether it be Mein Kampf or the
Communist Manifesto; pro-
paganda is not art.
the

Master Touch
Watching Godard’s latest, and of
this moment, still unreleased, film
THE WIND FROM THE EAST, is
like watching documentary foot-
age captured from a raid on a
Vietcong outpost. It is repetitious,
boring, scatological, humorless,
and quite frankly a halfwitted
exercise in amateur cinema.
Godard’s view of revolution is no
longer satiric but deadly earnest
and thus totally non-objective.
This righteous propaganda film
extolls the hardline mindlessness
of Red Chinese rhetoric. Soviet
and American “imperialists” are the
target of the cultural revolution’s
wrath. It is obvious that Godard
believes that the dominant force
in social change is the “east
wind.”
Godard’s studentsare as thought
less and naive a group of revolu-
tionaries that you'll ever witness,
as they come to grips with power
politics, They understand that in
order to make their revolution
work, they need the support of
the bourgeoise slaves.
Yet they foolishly fantasize that
all workers are united in some
universal struggle against the capi-
talists when, in reality, the majori-
ty of middle class union members
would rather kill a radical than a
rich employer. The workers want
to be rich. The revolutionaries
think that they want to be liberat-
ed.
This futile exercise in radical
philosophy only exposes the sad
decay of a man whose past work
has been challenging and enjoy-
able. THE WIND FROM THE
EAST resembles a poorly thought
out, executed home movie, made
in someone’s backyard with the
neighborhood kids. If this is
Godard’s idea of pure “revolution-
ary cinema” then Godard is no-
thing but a pure fool.

Diary Of A Mad Housewife
by Tom Quigley
Frank and Eleanor Perry’s adap-
tation of Sue Kaufman’s DIARY
OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE is their
sixth and most penetrating analy-
sis of modern mores.
The film is theatrical in its con-
ception which tends to diminish
its cinematic potential. Yet the
Perry’s craftsmanship, coupled
with the dynamic performances of
the cast, weaves an engrossing
satire about social climbers who
are nothing more than urbane
savages.
The victim is one Tina Balzer
(Carrie Snodgress), an average, un-
imaginative woman who has been
trained to be unassertive and sub-
missive. She plays the role of the
bland, efficient housewife almost
as well as her husband Jonathan
(Richard Benjamin) plays the suc-
cess game.
Johathan has a consumer pro-
duct mentality. He sees everything
in terms of brand names, social
connections, and “creative poten-
tial.” Tina is just another object in
a collection of expensive status
oe The Gay
Tune In
This album deals basically in
avante guarde jazz and seems to
verify Alan Heineman’s theory
about the similarity between it
and rock. There is, in both forms,
an attempt to pack each moment
with interest before moving on,
thus a feeling of non mobility
rather than swing; or as Heineman
says: verticle rather than horizon-
tal. This imposes a difficult prob-
lem for the jazz man and in this
case the reason for their inability
to grapple with the situation
which sometimes causes an aura
of dullness.
“Tune In” is a simple Eastern
melody that is harsh and deep,
with firy vibes and a drone bass.
The bass and flute then play
melody in counterpoint for a
couple rounds until the bass is
isolated to slowly develop the
theme, There are also occasional
interfections by Berger's sarangi,
an Eastern string instrument that
is bowed and sounds like a raspy
violin.
“With Silence” is played with a
trio—a very slow and moody piece
with Blackwell concentrating on
toms. ‘Get Up” is notable for its
clarity while being very Cecil
Taylor-like in conception. There
are some blurry runs on vibes—a
delightfully complete statement
and, considering the tempo at
which it is executed, well thought
out.
“Fly” is much the same type of
song and Berger handles some
startling runs with ease with only
a bass accompaniment. Flute later
joins with a full sound which
seems to be more of importance
for its tonal qualities, than the
actual ideas. The sarangi found its
way in, Blackwell plays some
George of the Jungle licks behind
Holland’s bass lines.
“Beyond the Moon” has some
alto from Ward who has an origi-
nal concept, but is not very excit-
ing. This song also has Berger’s

object in revolt.
Her method of sexual-social lib-
eration is an affair with a hand-
some hack (Frank Langella)
whose sadistic egocentricity is
greater than his writing ability.
The paradoxical conclusion of the
Perry’s thesis is cynically clear.
Tina is still an object in both her
marriage and affair. The problem
and nature of this tragedy is her
limited emotional and educational
conditioning, that molds her into
a non-person.
The problem also lies with Mrs.
Perry’s scenario that for a change
avoids the heavy symbolism of
their past efforts and concen-
trates on subtlety of content. For
all its witty insight into the mores
of the skyscraper set, her use of
latrine language is sort of sopho-
moric.

daily intercourse with each other

Much of Berger's work, though
technically astounding is rhythmi-

double eigth notes with an accent
on the first not—something that
most people escaped from in the
’40s. But there is much to recom-
mend this album. Berger is only
beginning to develop and
Blackwell and Holland always add
something to a performance.

results are repetitious, and unre-
strained. Carlos Ward does not

uncomfortable in this context,

are. After a few hells and damns
subtlety and maturity of purpose
tend to be blugeoned to death by
the pretentious dialogue. Unfor-
tunately this is becoming an irri-
tating trademark of Mrs. Perry’s.
Yet her characterizations of the
three principles, including two of
the most obnoxious children
you'll ever see on the screen, are
brilliant and the actors’ interpreta-
tions are inspired.
Newcomer Carrie Snodgress, as
Tina, is not as average and plain-
looking as the publicity people
would have you believe. She is a
charming performer with a laryn-
gitis voice and a lovely counten-
ance. She tirns in a sympathetic,
credible performance as the mad
housewife.
The chauvinistic characters of
the males are established from the
outset. Dick Benjamin is so in-
credibly obnoxious and hilarious
that you hope he'll choke on his
sarcasms. Frank Langella is superb
as the lover-writer. His snide wise
cracks are calculated to drain
every bit of pleasure out of emo-
tional experiences. Yet under the
callous surface of his battering
ram sexuality purrs the heart of a
Pussycat. Puzzle that one out,
symbolists!
Frank Perry’s fluid direction is
of primary interest because of his
use of the principles within con-
fining sets. Most of the action
takes place within the limited
four-walled world of the mad
housewife. This enables Perry to
stimulate an intimate atmosphere
as the actors go through their
series of confrontations,
His eye for muted color and
texture is equally fascinating.
Gerald Hirshfield’s beautiful soft
focus photography enables Perry
to explore the textures of cloth-
ing, skin tones, and other in-
animate objects, utilizing to the
fullest the powers of the objective
camera. The editing and judicuous
use of the closeup, help to rein-
force movement and intimate mo-
tivation within the storyline.
The Perry’s are not easy film-
makers. Their films dissect the
social foibles of our species and
continually force us to face the
mirror of self-knowledge and cyni-
cal truth, DIARY OF A MAD
HOUSEWIFE is one more in their

Editorial Comment
SA Moves Ahead
In past years, here at Albany State and throughout the nation,
the influence of organized student governments has steadily
declined. Most significant movements of the late 1960’s--civil
Tights, student power, peace, ultimately the May strike—have
arisen as groundswells and left student representatives in an
irrelevant position.
This has proven of great benefit. Direct action has provided
students with deeper recognition of the problems confronting
society today, and has impressed upon administrators the fact
that students are people and must have a role in shaping their own
lives.
Unfortunately, however, before significant change is made, such
groundswells tend to subside. The student power movement is no
longer recognizable yet students have still not achieved the degree
of representation which they should have. The strike, for all its
Strength and vehemence, has given way to a deadened political
scene.
There has arisen in the meantime a new form of student
government, More conscious of the need for militancy, more
aware of the crisis in education today, much more hesitant of
playing “the nigger role” which previous generations ofstudent
leaders have played. This year’s Student Association has taken the
first steps toward becoming a true articulator of student interests.
The major achievement has been the reformation of the Board
of Directors of the Faculty Student Association to include more
students, and the interrogation of Mr. Cooley and Mr. Haley by
Central Council. FSA has been attacked consistently throughout
the year for its misdirection, its lack of sensitivity to student
needs.
Student Association leaders have engineered the formation of
Student Associations of the State University. While SASU has yet
failed to address itself to the significant problems confronting
students, such as the question of mandatory tax, its formation
does raise the hope that here is a collective bargaining unit for all
students throughout the State University System.
Student Association leaders have done a great deal to improve
the quality and quantity of rock concerts. By disbanding the
Contemporary Music Council, an inefficient and unresponsive
committee which last year ran the concert program, by substitut-
ing in its place the University Concert Board giving it the power
to work with a professional promoter, Student Association leaders
have been able to save costs and to provide better concerts.
Student Association leaders have moved into a new area as
well--housing. Students have hassled for many years with a critical
shortage of housing and have been subject to extremely high rents
in off-campus units. This year Student Association leaders have
set aside $2000 and are actively exploring the possibility of
purchasing land near Mohawk Campus, building housing, and
providing bus shuttle serviee back and forth to the campus.
This trend must be maintained. Student leaders are elected by
students to represent students, at the very least to case the
frustrations of attending a massive, slow-changing university. If
student leaders fall back into meaningless, cliquish controversies,
if they limit their perspectives by the methods and actions of their
predecessors, then they will have failed to make student life here
in any way a communal life and the university a place where
academic community may indeed become a reality.

Dig it...there’s a problem. It’s the concerts. You see, the man is
walking around all the time--they call him “FIRE marshal ”. He’s
got all the strings. He snaps his fingers and the shows over, and
maybe, with the Airplane putting in on, you’d have a riot and
hurt, very hurt people...no joke.
Number two...the gym burns real easy. When you're there take a
look around..see all those coats...see the floor...see the bleach-
ers...poof. And with the Airplane putting on two shows, with
crowds inside and outside--and big, big, crowds at that--just one
coat, just one hint of a blaze, and you’d have a stampede and
people hurt, very hurt...no joke.
Finally, this. At the Clapton gig, one-half,yes, one half of the
crowd was under sixteen years of age. People actually stood there
and counted. They know. Little kids, having absolutely nowhere
else to go for music, come here and get zonked out of their minds,
and Dad comes to pick them and can’t understand why they’re
giggling so and making no sense at all--but then he knows. He
knows. He’s mad, The community’s mad. They know. So cops are
sent in after the concert to clean up and collect the evidence.
Then, they know.

Morning rouses after Electiondae-Night,
And I do feel as a pawn shoved about

Without a whimper.

Disbelieving, but believing.
I not only know that what I have seen.
T have already felt,
But that Iwill feel it, too,
In the future not far.
Amidst, and uppermost,
In ali this feeling,
I feel impotent.
And find no more organ between them,

Lucky,
Deem the gods above me,
I survive castrated,
Rather than not at all.
Now I need only settle for repression in exchange for my liberty.
With this balm
My life is expected to be renewed.
How many times will Life be offended
And stabbed
Before she dies?
I prayed in morning’s light that I only be dreaming
Or recovering from drunken stupor.
I prayed that my fears be rendered nonsense.
I preferred that the test of Time
Render me laughable rather than prophetic.
I have been stabbed on the stage of Politix

In my back,
Yes, thrice by my mother and father alone;
Landholders and possessors of upper-middling

On the Island of Long to the south,
They cast down their once-cherished feelings
Of struggle and Ascension,
And replace this with arrogance.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT TONIGHT’S CONCERT

AND CONCERT BOARD ASK THAT
THESE DIRECTIONS BE FOLLOWED:
LA
WITH MAX SHULMAN
(By the author of Rally Round the Flag, Boye... Dobie Gillis
How to Prevent Students
The chief reason why today’s college students are so restless is of
course tight pants.
But other factors also contribute, and one of them, I fear, is bore-
dom. All too often, I fear, students find their classes dull beyond en-
durance. Let’s face it: the modern undergraduate, caught in the grip
of history and his zipper, is far too impatient to sit through old-fash-
ioned lectures delivered in the old-fashioned way.
Novelty, excitement, stimulation—that’s what it takes to grab a
student's attention these days. And wise teachers know it. On cam-
puses everywhere they are trying bold new techniques to pique and
engross their classes. Take, for example, Ralph Waldo Sigafoos, the
distinguished professor of economics at the University of Florida, who
now delivers his lectures nude.
Or let’s take E. Pluribus Ewbank, the distinguished professor of
English literature at the University of Minnesota where it’s too cold
to lecture in your buff. Here’s what Professor Ewbank does: when he’s
teaching, for instance, Shelley’s immortal To a Skylark, he pauses
after each stanza and does 2!4 minutes of bird calls. Believe me, he
gets a terrific hand every time, but of course the biggest hand comes
at the end of the poem when he eats a worm. The kids sometimes ap-
plaud till nightfall.
Another innovation by the same resourceful Professor Ewbank is
to make poetry more relevant to his students by taking them to the
actual locale of each poem. Last month, for example, while lecturing
on Wordsworth’s immortal Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern
Abbey, he rented a Zeppelin, flew his entire class to England, and
meored on the same moor where Wordsworth wrote his immortal
lines. Then everyone deblimped and had a jolly good pienic, complete
with Morris dancing, three-legged races, pie-eating contests, and of
course that without which you'd never call a picnic complete. I refer
of course to Miller High Life Beer.
If there are still some of you haven’t tried Miller High Life—
you're laughing, but it’s possible—let me tell you what you're missing.
You're missing flavor, pleasure, refreshment, comfort, satisfaction,
felicity, truth, beauty, malt and hops. There is no other beer like Miller.
How can there be? Miller's marvelous brewing formula has been a
closely guarded secret for generations. In fact, it’s known today to
only one man in the whole world— Miller's chief brewmaster—and he
has been trained to eat himself if ever taken alive.
So if you haven't tried Miller yet—you're laughing, but it’s pos-
sible—get'a bottle or can right away. The bottles are beautifully made
of transparent glass. The cans aren’t bad-looking either; they are,
however, opaque.
But I digress. We were talking about the new breed of teacher
who doesn’t just stand in front of his class and drone. No, sir! He dem-
onstrates. He illustrates. He dramatizes. Take, for example, Glebe of
U-C.L.A., professor of marine biology. He doesn’t just tell the kids
about the strange life-forms beneath the sea. Instead he brings a live
sponge to class so they can see it. Similarly, Gransmire of North Caro-
lina State, professor of textile engineering, brings a live washcloth.
Then there’s Williams of Amherst, professor of library science,
who brings a live Dewey Decimal. And of course there's Schumann-
Heink of Hardin-Simmons, professor of Indo-European, who brings a
live hyphen. And Champert of Utah A & M, professor of Hebrew
Philology, who brings a nice Jewish girl.
And so to those who despair of ever winning back our alienated
students, I have only this to say: remember that America did not be-
come the world’s greatest producer of butterfat and milk solids by
running away from a fight! Right on!
* * *
We, the brewers of Miller High Life Beer and sponsors of this column,
have made what seems to us a very sensible arrangement with Max Shul-
man. We don’t tell him how to write and he doesn't tell us how to brew.

Why isn'ta big
company like General Electric
doing more to clean up
the environment?
How much can one company do
to clean up the environment?
Until the problems of pollution
are under control—until its effects
are reversed—no company can ever
be doing “enough.”
What follows is a listing of
things General Electric is doing to
ease environmental problems.
Some are new. Some are as old as
twenty-five years.
Should we be doing more?
Yes, of course. Every company
should. These are only a few of the
more important ones. But every day
sees us take more steps in many
more directions.
> General Electric is working
toward a process that will use
bacteria to convert garbage into a
high-protein food for cattle. One
possible answer to the mounting
garbage problem.
> Modern, pollution-free mass transit
from General Electric is carrying
more and more commuters into cities
without their cars.
> GE pioneered the development of
nuclear power plants. A nuclear
plant makes electricity without
making smoke. While there is still
the problem of thermal effects, it’s
being tackled ona site-by-site basis
and can be solved. But for now,
increasing demands for power can
be met without an increasing
output of air pollution.
> GE has developed a waste-
treatment unit to significantly
reduce the water pollution from
ships and boats.
> We have been chosen by the
federal government to solve the
problem of jet-engine noise for the
aviation industry. Our present jet is
already quieter than those on the
passenger planes of the Sixties, and
yet it’s nearly three times as powerful.
>» GE designed and built an
undersea habitat called “Tektite.”
Several teams of scientists have lived
in the habitat while studying coral-
reef ecology and ocean pollution.
> We're designing an earth-resources
satellite which will be used for a
worldwide survey of the oceans.
A first step toward the ultimate
control of water pollution.
» Our newest jet airplane engine,
for the DC-10, is designed to be
smoke-free. Of course, there’s more
to jet exhaust than just smoke. And
our goal is to one day make them
run totally clean.
» General Electric makes high-
temperature vortex incinerators for
GENERAL €@ ELECTRIC
the complete combustion of many
types of solid waste. Complete
combustion drastically reduces the
amount of leftover ash, as well as
virtually eliminating air pollutants.
The problems of the environ-
ment are many. And some of the
solutions will be difficult and
costly. But, as you can see, we're
working on them.
Why are we running this ad?
We're running this ad, and
others like it, to tell you the things
General Electric is doing about the
problems of man and his
environment today.
The problems concern us
because they concern you. We're a
business and you are potential
customers and employees.
But there’s another, more
important reason. These problems
will affect the future of this country
and this planet. We havea stake in
that future. As businessmen. And,
simply, as people.
We invite your comments.

Gridders Try To Snap Loss Streak vs. Platts.
by Dave Fink
Sports Editor
The Great Dane football team
will attempt to bounce back from
two consecutive losses Saturday
when they play their third away
game in a row at Plattsburgh.
This will be Plattsburgh’s last
chance for a victory obviously
because this is their final ball-
game. They are 0-6-1 but, accord-
ing to Coach Ford, are not to be
taken lightly. ‘““They have been in
every one of their games and their
defense is very tough.” It is led by
linebacker Steve Garcia, who is a
“real fine football player,” stated
Ford.
Plattsburg plays a 4-4 defense
but State’s offensive line will,
unbelievably, have a slight edge up
front. Because of this, the Danes
have put in a new offense for the
game. Coach Ford has inserted a
pro-T-set with a split backs and
two tight ends. There will also be
a flanker. Jim Butler will start at
one running back along with co-
captin Bernie Boggs. Both are real
quick and Albany will try to use
their line advantage to spring
them on some long gains.
Gordio Kupperstein will start at
quarterback in place of the in-
jured Bill Flanagan who is out
with a broken hand. Freshman
Rick Petty will be waiting in the
wings should the offense sputter’.
The latter is credited with being a
very fine passer. Ed Thomas and
Ed Perka will be the tight ends
with Cleve Little probably getting
the nod at flanker back. All pur-
pose operator Keith Ward is
doubtful with an injured ankle.
Senior Dick Wesley is back
from a two game absence with
broken ribs and will start at right
tackle. The best of the line will
consist of Dick Moore and Al
Barocas at the guards, Gary Klipp
at center and Bernie Pooler at the
other tackle.
The Dane defense will be trying
to stop a Plattsburgh attack which
puts the ball into the air about
50% of the time. The quarterback

is Pete DeNato and his favorite
receiver is Chris Kringle. What
makes the home teams offense
that much more dangerous is the
fact that they use deceptions such
as sereen passes and draw plays to
keep the defense honest.
Obviously, there will be a lot of
pressure on the defensive line to
contain Plattsburg’s good running
game, and at the same time put
pressure on DeNato. Tom Patter-
son’s exceptional game at safety
last week (3 interceptions) earned
him a starting role this week. If
captain Royce Van Evera is back
from a shoulder separation, we
might see him at the left corner
slot. The rest of the defense is
pretty well set with one notable
addition. Rudy Vito, a starter at
fullback at the beginning of the
season, will very possibly see work
at linebacker.
‘This is the Danes’ chance for a
winning season. They must win
tomorrow to have a shot at it.
When asked to speculate on the
team’s chances, Coach Ford re-
plied, “I think we can win but
games are played between 2:00
and 5:00 in the afternoon. We'll
find out then.”

Harriers End Fine Season of 10-3
by Robert Merett
Coach Bob Munsey’s cross
countrymen entertained LeMoyne
this past Tuesday and suffered a
rare loss by a score of 25-30.
Dennis Hackett ortce again led
Albany as he finished first by 12
seconds, in a field of 22 with a
time of 27-01. His time, though,
was not indicative of the type of
race he ran as he kept back to
help out his teammates and only
with 14 miles left to go on the 5
mile course took off on his own.
Otherwise, he might have come
close to the Albany team record
of 26:21.
‘An interesting sideline is that,
since the first meet of the season,
when Albany murdered Clarkson,
15-49, the “Guts Men” have never
had their top six runners together.
Something has always popped up-
injuries, strep throat or intestinal
virus (which has affected almost
the entire team). This week was
no different as Pat Gepfert, the
third runner on the team, just
before the start of the meet,
suddenly came down with a
muscle spasm and could barely
breathe. After being rubbed down
and heavily taped along the chest
and back he amazingly came back
to run, “It was one of the most
courageous efforts in cross coun-
try that I’ve seen in 9 years,”
Coach Munsey stated. “He was in
agony and had trouble in getting
breath. We never would have run
him but since we didn’t have
depth we couldn't keep him out.”
Running under tremendous adver-
sity, Pat finished 9th but was at
least 45 seconds slower than his
normal pace. With a healthy Gep-
fert the Harriers would have prob-
ably come back on top as, in the
two previous meets he had beaten
the third, fourth and fifth finish-
ers of the race. This was only the
second loss Albany has suffered in
nine meetings with LeMoyne.
Although disappointed in finish-
ing the season ona losing note,
Coach Munsey noted that his men
did a good overall job in finishing
the season with a 10-3 record. If
they had pulled off this last meet,
they would have finished with an
11-2 mark which would have
matched the team record number
of victories which was set in 1966
when the Harriers finished 11-1.
Still remaining on the schedule is
the IC4A Meet in Van Cortland
Park in New York on November
16 when Hackett and Nick
DeMarco will represent State.
Looking forward to next year,
only Pat Gepfert will be grad-
uating so only one of the top five
runners will be lost. In addition,
Hackett will be aiming at the
school record of 22 dual meet
wins held by Tom Robinson. With
15 wins in 2 years of running he
appears to be well within range.
Finally, I think we should all
take note of the Harriers fine
performance. In Coach Munsey’s
9 years with the team they boast
an outstanding record of 77-15
and have 9 consecutive winning
seasons behind them. Both the
coach and the men who devote
precious time and energy to the
sport should be heartily congrat-
ulated.
Apologies are in order to Joe
Kaiser (STB) who was named on
the All-Leage III second team at
offensive end. His name was left
lout of Tuesday’s edition.
JUNIOR DENNIS HACKETT was the top finisher-in Tuesday’s meet
against LeMoyne to give him 15 firsts in his varsity career to date.

NEWS ANALYSIS
by Bob Warner
News Editor
The 1970 mid-term elections seem to have given
Nixon a slight gain in the Senate, and a minute loss
in the House. The Republicans, who have gained
two seats, including Buckley’s, have fallen far short
of their original goal of Senate control, however.
Considering that the Republicans spent $65 million
to gain control, plus an incredible amount of energy
and prestige by Nixon, Agnew, and many Repub-
lican Senators, the Administration has gone down to
defeat.
They have obtained a slightly more conservative
Senate, however, with Gore, Tydings, and Goodell
going down to defeat. The Democrats have gained,
though, impressive Senate victories in California and
Illinois. The Southern Democratic gains, though
significant for party control, have virtually no effect
on the ideological struggle in the Senate.
Another consideration in terming Nixon’s cam-
paign efforts a failure, is that the President has again
been denied a Republican Congress; every President
for over a century has obtained at the time of his
election to office, control of Congress~except Mr.
Nixon.
Not only will this year’s gubernatorial outcome
affect the 1972 Presidential election, it will affect
the redistricting of all House and State legislative
seats for the next decade.
In summary, it seems safe to say that while New
York and Connecticut were Republican landslides,
the nationwide results indicate that this has been a
Demoeratic year.
The gubernatorial races have resulted in an im-
pressive gain for the Democrats. As Lawrence
O’Brien, the Democratic national chairman, said,
this is “nothing short of a fantastic Democratic
win.” Considering that the Democrats went into the
election in the minority, with only 18 out of 50
governorships, and now have the majority of state
houses, 29 to 21, O’Brien’s claim is not mere
104 A.D,-Mary Anne Kurpsak (D-L) exaggeration.

Well, there it is in New York
State. The important positions,
the positions that people looked
towards as channels to air their
displeasure with America, have
been severely constricted.
Whether or not the youth of this
state gave the candidates that they
wanted to see elected enough sup-
port is questionable. But actually
it’s relatively unimportant for a
conservative tide has swept across
the state. A tide that can perhaps
be most aptly attributed to the
campus unrest and ensuing de-
struction during last spring in par-
ticular.
To every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction. It seems
that in politics to every surge to
the left, every surge towards vio-
lence, there is an equal and oppo-
site move
towards the
order,
The fact that many, although
not enough, honestly committed
and involved youth worked for
candidates really didn’t make a
difference. The youth of today
have been stereotyped by Misters
Nixon and Agnew as no good, and
a large segment of the electorate
has accepted this image. Although
the inflamed rhetoric of these two
men is an abuse of their authority
and their position they merely
said what a large segment of the
population was thinking.
Unfortunately it is not the
“good,” hard-working, average
youth who makes the headlines.
Rather it is the bomb and brick-
throwing minority who are
focused upon. Because of this
candidates who welcome student
volunteers did so cautiously. The
longer of the long haired workers
were kept at the candidates’ head-
quarters answering phones.
It is not that the candidates
truly question these students’ sin-
cerity, but they also hold no
illusions as to the importance of
images. And to a large part of
middle America today, a long-
haired, beaded, belled, booted
youth is a bomb and brick-throw-
ing youth. To say the least, this is
unfortunate.
To change this image is difficult.
Almost as difficult as changing the
composition of the state, local
and national legislatures. But if we
want to work within this system,
even with all its faults, to contin-
ue to exist as a free, hopefully a
freer state, we must change the
composition of the law and deci-
sion making bodies of this
country. To do this we must not
even give Agnew and Nixon and
others the chance to make our
image for us. We must make our
own image, and hopefully it will
be one of a responsible, and of
course frustrated, concerned, and
of course upset, involved, but of
course legally, intelligent, but of
course still willing to learn, youth
of today.
