The Everwatchful,
Awesome Univac. . .

Vol, LIX No. 39 State University of New York at Albany

by David Lerner

Imagine, somewhere deep within the heart of State a Giant, buried
beneath shielding concrete and cobblestones, hidden from view in an
obscure section of the Academic Podium, protected by heavy metal
doors that remain, almost arrogantly, closed to the curious. Listen,
and imagine the purr and hum of a great underground network of
intricate wires, cables, connections, relays, and circuits, Try to
visualize an immense hallway of seemingly limitless length, ascep-
tically lit with white light casting its even shadow everywhere,

What massive colossus is this that resides here in our humble
village, hinting to no one of its existence, yet commanding such awe
and reverence that those who have ventured to breach its walls and
have returned alive can only but guess at the awesomeness that lives
inside? What could it be that so controls our academic existence yet
goes virtually undetected, totally unnoticed by the vast majority of
the residents of the campus?

When evil professors assign grueling tasks Lo innocent, unsuspecting,
ts, brave UNIVAC is standing ready with his battery

subconsciously angered at being referred to as a “son of a computer,

statement of fact. Somewhere to be sure, somewhere in its huge

Slow Business
MeansCut Hours

by J. Stephan Flavin

Some part-time student book-
store employees had “adjust-
ments” made in their work
hours Monday morning.

Arnold Colon, who has been
bookstore manager since Spring
‘Semester, said that the reduction
in hours of some part-time stu-
dent personnel was the direct
result of decreasing sales for the
first quarter of fiscal 1972. Ac-
cording to Colon, “Sales are off
$57,000 from last yeur's rate.
This $57,000 is close to
$200,000 off of projected in
come in FSA's budget.” De
creasing income has mandated
payroll and other
nses. “Most of the

‘As a top union organizer Jim
Drake explains:

“The great thing about the
boycott is that there you are
dealing with profit which might
mean 3 per cent, 4 per cent or
even I per cent, In a strike it's
the same thing, but there you
have to do it for a long time
during which you have to pay
people~they've got to have
food. In an election you have to

get 51 per cent, but in a boycott
you have to worry about only 2

sacrifices of a strike. The in-
justice of a healthy 60-year-old
facully woman asking for a

consider the plight of the poor
18-year-old man who then has to
walk from the far end. After all,
his legs are probably strained
from climbing out of his TR-6.

Equal rights for all! But let us
not forget the disabled, who

Gury Selwyn believes that only the very hardy
goldfish can survive in the pond, that the
attempts at stocking the pond have all been do
because there ix something in the pond that kills
fish. Walter ‘Tisdale thinks Selwyn ix wrong, that

‘Tisdale, in a memo to commission members, states
that "According to frequent observations there have

the Physical Education department hus enjoyed

about the fishing and was told the tast time he

for some years
Selwyn also suygests that the goldfish may be too
strong competition for any bass, in terms of the
food available, If that is the ease then a decision will

another species to live. At any rate, if §

‘Tisdale plays down the significance of oil in the
that Selwyn reports only two-tenths

points out that a quart of oil bs enough to

killing fish, but he ean not prove this

in eaeh of the parking lot drains would be impeacti

Pool, which he believes to be the main source of oil
pollution.

Erosion Problem

Another possible reason for fish not reproducing is
that silt, the result of erosion, affects the spawning
grounds of fish. Selwyn says that De. MeNaught of
the biology department told him that fish eggs may
sink through the sill. ‘The question of the effect of
silt on pond life is important, although Selwyn does
not know the unswer, ‘The fact is that the bunks of

pond size has shrunk as a result, Selwyn pomts |
the delta formation at the northwest corner of jl
pond as evidence. More evidence is the trees

the banks of the pond; they are tilted askew, 1
ground support eroded away, Selwyn says
many trees along the banks had to be cut d
because they would have, eventually, fallen in

‘To correct the erosion Selwyn wants the h

Oil pollution and erosion represent the w
