Lib Author Speaks
On Oppression
by Elizabeth Sciarini
Are today’s women oppressed
by the institutions of marriage
and the family? According to Miss
Evelyn Reed, a national spokes-
woman for the Woman’s Libera-
tion Moverment and socialist acti-
vist who spoke here on Tuesday,
this is one of the major problems
with the structure of today’s soci-
ety.
Making several references to her
booklet, Problems of Women’s
Liberation; A Marxist Approach,
Miss Reed proposed three ques-
tions concerning marriage and the
family as a man-made social insti-
tution. Her first question, “What
kind of society requires marriage
and the family and for what pur-
pose,” began her discussion on
what resembled a lecture on the
history of the enslavement of wo-
men throughout western civiliza-
tion.
Miss Reed made reference to
Engels’ book, Origin of the Fami-
ly, Private Property and the State,
showing how marriage began as an
institute to serve the men of
wealth in the patriarchal society.
She then pointed out that during
the Feudal period, the “right to
marry” was extended to the mid-
dle class with the rise of Chris-
tianity. Later, with the rise of
Capitalism, came the privilege of
universal marriage, the “bonds of
women.” At present, it now co-
vers all classes. Women are no
longer workers in the family, as
seen in an agricultural society;
they have become consumers
dependent upon their husbands.
Miss Reed’s second question
was, “How are women degraded
by this institution and human
needs thwarted?” She pointed out
that the social, sexual and intel-
lectual needs of women are stin-
ted by our society as is the right
to unrestricted development of
the brain and cultural life. She
made an analogy to this by com-
paring the female sex to a colonial
country under a mother imperi-
alist nation. It was not until the
Academic Affairs
Search Committee
President Benezet recently an-
nounced the following appoint-
ments to the Advisory Search
Committee for Vice- President for
Academic Affairs: Mrs. Edna
McAffer (University Council), Mr.
Michael Gilbertson (Central Coun-
cil), Mr. David Neufeld (President,
Student Association, Central
Council), Mr. William White
(Graduate student, educational
administration), Prof. Webb Fiser
(politicscience), Prof. Violet Lar-
ney (mathematics), Prof. Moran
Weston (Afro-American studies),
Dean Neil Brown (Student life),
Dr. Jonathan Ashton (Acting Di-
rector, University Library), Mr.
Dwight Smith (Director, Institu-
tional Research), Dean Edgar Flin-
ton (Graduate Studies).
The Committee will move rapid-
ly in its search for suitable candi-
dates to recommend to the Presi-
dent so that an appointment amay
be made and the position filled by
the beginning of second semester.
The Committe will search for
the best qualified persons avail-
able. The Committee is anxious to
receinominations for this most im-
portant post from members of
SUNYA and from other interested
persons.
rise of the bourgeoise class that
the fusion of love and marriage
was seen, and this is not to say
that it is what the speaker termed,
“a smashing success.” Statistics
show that 1 out of 3 marriages
end in divorce court. (In Califor-
nia 1 out of 2 marriages are
dissolved.) But it now takes two
to support the average family and
women are struggling for eco-
nomic recognition and are being
doubly oppressed: on the job and
at home. The growing influx of
women as workers is bringing the
growth of women searching for
liberation, possibly through eco-
nomic independence.
Miss Reed’s third question asked
about the prospects of the family
institution and what must be done
for women to regain coutrol of
their destiny. One answer given
was that society must be restruc-
tured along with the restructuring
of the family set-up, Already
there are many changes and wo-
men are launching many offenses.
The abortion law and the current
sexual revolution are examples of
this, The “double standard” is
being scorned by many women.
The WLM wants new social an-
sexual norms and wants them
extended to the realms of family
morality.
Miss Reed noted that love must
also be redefined so that people
will no longer be merely ‘“‘elabor-
ate, expensive furniture” in each
others’ lives. In particular, she
ridiculed the middle class homes
where love is often measured in
terms of how much parents buy
for their children.
Concluding, Miss Reed stated
that the WLM began about 1-1/2
years ago with strong anti-Capital-
istic feelings. She looked beyond
the institutions of marriage and
the family and then questioned
the right of the Capitalistic system
to its own existence. In reference
to man’s observation in Look,
Miss Reed concluded that the
women’s revolution will lead to a
human revolution when human
will not settle for less than their
potential, when they will no lon-
ger tolerate war and violence as
the only end to man’s conflict.

Probes
Non-violent Action
by Walt Keller
“I don’t think there’s any differ-
ence between a cop shooting a kid
or a kid shooting a cop-they both
mean death.” This statement was
made by Roy Dickson, in a meet-
ing of the Institute of Non-Vio-
lence on October 14. The organi-
zation begun by Joan Baez in Palo
Alto, California, has been ex-
panded into other cities across the
nation.
Dickson, a former student here
at SUNYA, had resisted the draft,
and then gone to Boulder, Colo-
rado where he became actively
involved in the non-violent revolu-
tion. He stated the aims of his
group to become a non-violent
force in the community. This is
attempted mainly through form-
ing food co-ops, leafletting and
demonstrations.
In Palo Alto the Institute has
been trying to discourage people
Car yields for Albany youth in the downtown area.
from working for the Lockheed
Corporation, which handles de-
fense contracts. Other areas of
involvement include the Chicano
movement, and the grape and
lettuce boycotts.
Denise Breetburg, a student
here, then spoke about war taxes.
Speaking for the group, she advo-
cated non-payment of the federal
excise tax on phone bills. Consti-
tuting approximately ten percent
of the bill, this tax allegedly goes
directly to the Vietnam War ef-
fort.
Plans are underway to form
classes in non-violence and related
subjects, hopefully involving the
philosophy and psychology de-
partments. Additional events in-
clude the leafletting of construc-
tion sites in downtown Albany, a
weekend of non-violence, tenta-
tively at Dippikill and possibly a
spring forum on non-violence.

Rally Set
For Oct.31
by Martha Nathanson
A march to the Capitol and an
anti-war rally are planned fo:
October 31, by the Student Mo-
bilization Committee, which met
on Tuesday.
All those participating in the
anti-war demonstration will as-
semble at Draper Hall at 11 a.m.
and march downtown to the Capi-
tol building. The rally will begin
at two o’clock when there will be
speakers and entertainment on the
steps of the Capitol.
The Planning Committee of
SMC is in the process of negotia-
ting a permit for the march. They
also reported that a group will
perform Viet Rock and they are
trying to get Pete Seeger to come,
as well as other speakers— an
anti-war veteran, and a women’s
lib representative. One member
anticipates a crowd of 10,000.
Many high schools in the area
have pledged to participate in the
demonstration, The High School
Committee will be leaf-letting and
talking to the high school kids in
preparation.
The Ad Hoc Committee on
Community Interaction is separ-
ate from SMC, but a representa-
tive was at the meeting to report
on their progress. This committee
is working on leafletting to the
people at the Central Ave. shop-
ping center and Stuyvesant Plaza.
They plan to distribute literature
on the candidates running for
election and how each one feels
about the war. Then they would
like to talk to the people and urge
them to get out and vote.
Finally a coordinating commit-
tee was formed to be responsible
for the organization of SMC’s
activities. Their immediate con-
cern is the rally at the end of this
month.

Vote Invalid
by Gary Cole
‘The recent L.A.A.C. elections at

Rather than the proper method
which works through the voting

cast by writing candidates’ names
on a paper inside the machine.

Burnett Discusses
Social Restraints
by Kathy Stabbert
Opportunities for rebuilding
democratic socialism are brighter
than they have been since the
days of Eugene Debs, according to
Jim Burnett. Burnett, currently a
professor of Political Science at
York College, spoke to a group of
approximately fifty people in a
speech sponsored by the Young
People’s Socialist League on Octo-
ber 14.
Burnett’s speech related the tra-
ditional socialist ideas concerning
the working class, changes and
developments in socialist thought
since Marx and the labor move-
ment and modern American poli-
tics in relation to socialism.
Burnett’s address explained
Marx’s mistaken prediction con-
cerning the increasing oppression
of the working class. Since Marx
was proven wrong, some socialists
felt that there would be no social-
ist revolution, just a series of
reforms within the Labor Move-
ment. Burnett referred to this
point of view as “Pollyannish.””
He said that a socialist movement
must relate to the workers, repre-
senting their needs. He cites the
American socialists’ failure to do
this as the cause of their weak-

man.
Burnett then traced the history
of the American Socialist move-
ment, examining its decline during
the twenties, thirties, and during
and after World War II.
Noting recent favorable develop-
ments, he feels that “things are
going in a much more optimistic
direction (for the Socialist Party)
than many thought fifteen years
ago.” Burnett said that there is
now a need for the Socialist Party
in America to develop a close
relationship with the labor move-
ment, He added that “this deve-
lopment is not impossible, but
likely.”
Burnett was introduced as an -
acknowledged expert on the labor
movement, to which he jokingly
replied that he would probably be
the only one who would acknow-
ledge it. Burnett, however, is a
member of the National Commit-
tee of the Socialist Party, a former
student radical at Berkeley and a
member of the Socialist Party of
America.
Following his speech, a question
and answer period was held.

West End Podium Extension
To House New Facilities
by Sharon Cohen
As part of the continuing expan-
sion of this State University cen-
ter, a West Podium extension is
now being planned.
Buffalo Birdshot
by Bill Vaccaro
College Press Service
BUFFALO, N.Y.(CPS)—On
the night of May 7, Buffalo police
occupied the State University of
New York at Buffalo campus and
fired birdshot at students protest-
ing the U.S. invasion of Cam-
bodia.
This was the conclusion of a
report issued in conjunction with
a group of law students and the
Buffalo chapter of the American
Civil Liberties Union. The report
indicates the following:
*that Buffalo police fired bird-
shot that night at students with-
out provocation and wounded at
least twelve of them, and;
*that both local, state, and Fed-
eral officials “expended little ef-
fort” to conduct a full and thor-
ough investigation of the incidents
and charged that there was, in
fact, “‘a predetermined effort” on
the part of some of these officials
to “‘whitewash”’ the incident.
Richard Rosche, spokesman for
the Concerned Law Students for
“Peace, said that efforts to get
local, state, and Federal officials
to conduct a full-fledged inquiry
“by the appropriate agencies
which have the capacity to do the
right kind of investigation have so
far met with little response.
“With all our efforts,” he con-
tinued, “not one real investigation
was initiated. The city of Buffalo,
the Erie County district attorney,
the State of New York and the
Department of Justice expended
little effort to adequately resolve
thi
Rosche and his group based
their conclusions on 78 eye-
witness accounts—including a
number of: personal interviews
with witnesses—medical reports
on students treated for pellet
wounds, perforated windows in
North Union, as well as a nu-
merous assortment of metal pel-
lets, spent shotgun shells, and
photographs taken during the in-
cident.
According to the report, the
responses by various officials
showed an extraordinary lack of
concern and complacency towards
the incident.

'| Ramifications.”
Designed by Edward Durell
Stone , the extension will have the
same type of white concrete struc-
ture as the present academic po-
dium. Rather than a series of
buildings, though, it will be one
huge complex, about half the size
of the podium.
The disciplines sharing the com-
plex will be Humanities, Social
Science, Criminal Justice, Educa-
tion, Library Science, Social Wel-
fare, School of Business, and
School of Nursing. There will also
be additional student- faculty faci-
lities, including a cafeteria and
library facilities.
The building of the podium ex-
tension is contingent upon’ the
approval by the state legislature of
a $27 million budget request. If
the request is approved, it will
take effect on April 1, 1971, and
construction will begin in the late
spring or early summer.
It is expected that the extension
will be ready for partial occupan-
cy in two years (school year
1978-74), and is scheduled for
completion in three years (school
year 1974-75). As of yet, though,
the builder has not been decided
upon. =p
A slightly larger east podium
extension is planned for the near
future also.

In the article, “Which Laws to

was omitted.
The passage should read: “Ini-

fashion as follows: a ghetto youth
who stole a car would be prose-

smashed a computer during a stu-
dent strike would not be prose-
cuted.”

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1970
(Many thanks to Nancy Gell,
Prof. Fred Cohen and Al Al-
pern)
The F.B.1., the Justice Depart-
ment, the Attorney General, the
Supreme Court, these are all insti-
tutions in which Americans place
great faith. If you're one of
them—think again. Crime and dis-
sent are the two major issues in
the minds of Americans, and the
politicians know it. Almost all
candidates for office, from 1968
up until and including those run-
ning this coming November, use
fear tactics and crime statistics to
gain votes. They all use law-n-or-
der rhetoric— Democrats, Repib-
licans, Reactionaries, “Liberals.”
(See NY Times page 1, Oct. 12,
1970).
The public is being fooled, and
it may be too late when we finally
awaken to reality — that the issue
of crime is being used to create a
terror in which a crackdown on all
“disruptive” elements will be
acceptable to the public.
The Dept. of Justice is headed
by a presidential appointee— the
Atty. General, who has the power
to control federal crime presecu-
tion, investigation of violations of
federal laws, federal prisons, citi-
zenship proceedings, foreign sub-
version and internal dissension,
riot conditions, drug trafficing,
drug rehabilitation, coordination
of state and local police, “corr-
ectional” institutions and courts,
screening of federal judge nomi-
nees, legal advising to the cabinet
and President, and drafting of
legislation to create a safer and
more equitable notion and the
application of the law in a more
just manner.
One man is delegated all this
power, to use or mis-use. When
Nixon became president in 1968,
one of his first acts was to replace
Atty. Gen’l Ramsey Clark with
John Mitchell. At the Republican
National Convention in Miami,
Nixon told what he believed was a
secret session of Southern dele-
gates (until the Miami Herald prin-
ted a verbatim transcript made
from a tape recording of the
meeting) that he was going to run
the Dept. of Justice himself. “I
am going to take charge of this,
because I am a lawyer!”
“‘Nixon’s campaign manager
Mitchell, once the A.G., surroun-
ded himself with his “own kind of
people.” His second in command
is Richard G. Kleindienst, who
was national director of field
operations for Goldwater in 1964

and field director for Nixon in
68.
“Kleindienst was said to be
somewhat to the right of Gold-
water.” “At the start of a two
hour visit he paid (then Att'y
Gen’l’) Ramsey Clark for a brief-
ing on the Dept. of Justice, he
suggested that he be dealt with on
the assumption that he didn’t
know anything. “I found nothing
to challenge the assumption,”
Clark remarked afterward. Klein-
dienst had reportedly promised to
crack down on “draft-dodgers,”
on “anarchistic kids,” and on
“militants” of all persuations...
student radicals were regarded as
an even greater threat than the
forces of organized crime...” Per-
haps they know too much.
Jervis Leonard was made Ass’t
Att’y Gen’l, in charge of the Civil
Rights Division, When appointed,
he was a member of an all-white
fraternal organization called the
Order of the Eagles. Ultra-conser-
vative Texas Seantor John Tower
was given a pick of Ass’t Att’y
Generals. His choice was Texan
Will Wilson, as head of the Crimi-
nal Division. Wilson, after taking
office said, “Clark’s trouble was
that he was philosophically con-
cerned with the rights of the
individual.” “He was like a foot-
ball coach warning his players not
to violate the rules, when he
should have been telling them to
go in there and win,”
When the changeover was ended
at the Dept. of Justice, Clark had
watched Mitchell “fire liberal law-
yers from the Civil Rights Divi-
sion, support Carswell and
Haynesworth (for Supreme Court
seats), and now Ramsey Clark
fears that his successors are begin-
ning to turn up the long-dormant
machinery of McCarthyism,” He
has watches, appalled, as the Jus-
tice Dept. subpeonaed media files
and notebooks, push preventive
detention, no-knock laws, bugs
and secret files.
First Speech on Crime
Nixon’s first major speech on
crime, Sept. 29, 1968: ‘Some
have said that we are a sick
society. We're sick all right, but
not in the way they mean. We are
sick of what has been allowed to
go on in this nation for too long.
Under the stewardship of the pre-
sent Administration, (Johnson)
crime and violence...have
creased ten times faster than pop-
ulation.”
He then reviewed a bunch of
statistics on rising crimes, and
ended with the fact that crime
had risen a total of 88%. He did
not mention that under Eisenho-
wer and himself, the rise was 98%.
Nixon continued, “ Today it is
comparatively safe to break the
law. Something has gone terribly
wrong in America.”
in-
Local Police Forces
Of course, the main thing that
had gone wrong was that many
local police forces were too inept,
untrained, undermanned, or cur-
rupt to do their job. The current
preoccupation of most law-
enforcement agencies is how best
to use statistics for political mile-
age, because the more crimes re-
ported, the louder the public out-
cry and thus the allotment of
money and headlines for the po-
lice agencies. What do the statis-
tics really mean? Of the four
million serious crimes reported in
1968, only 12%, less than
500,000 were the kinds of crimes
the average citizen fears — that is
violent or potentially violent
crimes.
In other words, 1/4 of 1% of the
population of the United States
would expect to be victims of
such crimes in a given year. Of
course, the profit-motivated mass
media will fabricate headlines
when necessary. By far the great-
est number of crimes were com-
mitted by slum-dwellers upon’
other slum-dwellers, the victims
being mostly poor and non-white.
We must also remember that what
they mean by “‘crime”’ includes
things like smoking dope, loitering
(without money), homosexuality
and conspiracy to intend to may-
be commit a crime. Real criminal
activity, like mass murder, racism,
genocide and exploitation are con-
doned, if not caused by, the ruling
elite and its media.
Mitchell’s first moves for law-
n-order included replacing Robert

Morganthau, M.S. Attorney for
the Southern District of New
York State, one of the finest law
enforcers in the country, with
Whitney North Seymour Jr., son
of a Republican Party bigshot.
And on Sept. 4, 1969, in the NY
Post, James Wechsler charged
Mitchell and Hoover with at-
tempts to obstruct prosecution of
well-known white collar crook
Roy Cohn. Instead of enforcing
laws, the J.S. went about
restricting the rights of suspects.
Mitchell and Nixon pressured
Congress into passing a McClellan
Crime Bill that reversed the ac-
claimed Miranda decision (giving
suspects the rights of counsel,
etc.). Legal authorities were al-
most unanimous in their protest
against the blatantly unconstitu-
tional law.
Law Enforcement Agency
The Law Enforcement Assist-
ance Agency, (LEAA) is supposed
to coordinate police training, riot
control and reduction of or-
ganized crime throughout the na-
tion by helping local police forces.
Unfortunately Congress has limit-
ed their giving funds to local
areas, under the “block-grant
amendment,” which allows states
to use the money for any purpose
they wanted, without LEAA ap-
proval needed.
The result has been that the
large cities get very little, due to
the apportionment of power in
the states, and police departments
have been using the money to
stockpile extravagant weapons
systems. In addition, the NY
Times of August 27, 1970; “the
Nixon Administration this month
is killing a widely acclaimed
(LEAA) program for freruiting
college graduates as policemen.”
Smart cops seem to have con-
sciences.
On civil rights, one of the token
Blacks in the Administration said,
“From what I’ve heard, neigher
Mitchell, the President nor any-
body else high up in the White
House has any real understanding
of what’s going on among Black
men in our society, He’s (Mitch-
ell) so out of touch that he
doesn’t call us Blacks, or Ne-
groes,—he calls us colored peo-
ple,” The Justice Dept’s laxity in
enforcing anti-segregation laws
caused a Black advisor to the
United States Commission on Civ-
il Rights to resign, accusing the
President of having “‘broken faith
with millions of people.”
Let’s TALK These Things Over
When a group of Black civil
rights workers travelled to Wash-
ington, DG, to protest the weak-
ening of the guidelines and re-
vision of the Voting Rights Act,
Mitchell ordered Assistant Att’y
Gen’l Leonard to see them.
Leonard appeared in the reception
room and when he saw that a
white woman was in the all-Black
crowd, he went “directly up to
her and said, ‘Let’s talk this thing
over.’
She shook her head. ‘I’m not
one of them, I'm just a friend.
Talk to them.’ ”
Leonard, in a fit of anger told
them that they were “extremely
presumptious,” and that Mitchell
would see them later, adding that
if they didn’t leave immediately
they’d be dragged out. At another
time, over forty lawyers from the
Civil Rights Division organized a
“revolt” to protest Justice Dept.
policy, and they were asked to
resign. They refused.

miered at special performances in
New York at Philharmonic Hall,
Lincoln Center, October 13; and
in Los Angeles at the L.A. Music
Center, October 25.
Each of the Festival’s five judges
selected his own first prize win-
ner, setting his own criteria for
excellence. The 20 runners-up and
the honorable mentions were se-
‘lected by weighted ballot. The
judges were: Carl Lerner, film
editor, director and producer;
Brian De Palma, director and
screenwriter; Ann Guerin, senior
editor, Show Magazine; Michael
Getz, promoter and exhibitor of
independent films; andiMare
Stone, former Festival winner,
now head of motion picture pro-
duetion for New York University

ley’s head is at.” Filmmaker Jona-
than Kaplan was graduated from
New York University Film School

in advanced film studies.
Showdown, chosen by judge
Carl Lerner, is a satire on Peckin-
pah-type western movie violence.
Kenneth Friedman is a student of
the NYU Film School.
Pas De Deux, selected by judge
Ann Guerin, is a poetic film about
two people meeting, resisting their
mutual attraction, and finally giv-
ing in to it. Frank Dandridge is an
award-winning still photographer

Selective Service System was
chosen for a grand prize by judge
Michael Getz. It is the actual film
record of a young man shooting
himself in the foot in order to
avoid the draft and involvement in
the Viet Nam war. Warren Haack,
who is studying motion picture
production at San Francisco
State, notes that we see people
being “‘shot” twenty times a day

reality. Its horror, he hopes, car-

Double Win
by John Carter
Coach Bob Munsey’s cross
countrymen took a double victory
from northern foes Plattsburg and
Potsdam State Wednesday by
23-78 and 23-48 scores respec-
tively. Highlighting the meet was
an exciting finish by Albany’s ace
Dennis Hackett who passed Platts-
burgh’s Bruce Milliman in the last
hundred yards to take first by one
second. Nick DeMarco and Pat
Gepfert took third and fourth and
Saul Rodriguez, John Stanton, and ,
Bill Meehan took seventh through
ninth, respectively, to provide Al-
bany with the winning depth. The
Danes now sport an impressive 8-1
record on the year.
When Milliman jumped off to a
200 yard lead the Dane runners’
dismissed him as a “rabbit.” When
his challenge proved to be real,
Hackett had all he could do to
catch him at the finish of the 4.5
mile course. Coach Munsey said,
“That Milliman really surprised
us. Dennis did a great job catching
and passing him in one of the
most exciting races I’ve ever
seen.” Understandably the Dane
mentor was pleased with his men
thus far in what should be one of
the Dane’s finest years.
The double victory gave Albany
their seventy-fifth win since cross
country began here nine years
ago. It was also Hackett’s thir-
teenth personal victory giving him
an excellent chance to pass the
two men ahead of him on the all
time victory list at State, Joe
Keating (17 wins) and Tom
Robinson (22). ;

Defensively, the Indians are big
and strong. Gary Klipp, Albany
offensive center, will be lining up
opposite a middle guard who
weighs 320 pounds. Klipp weighs
in at 190. Right down the line,
State will be at a distinct weight
disadvantage.
Siena’s secondary is far superior
to R.LT.’s. Breaking through the
line was the key to Bernie Boggs’
big runs last week. The deep men
just couldn’t stop him. But it
could be a different story with
Siena. As coach Ford said, “If our
backs break through, they’re go-
ing to have to work.”
The Danes hope to be at full
strength defensively on Saturday.
Steve Finn will be starting at right
tackle, and a relative newcomer,
Jeff Wachtel, will see plenty of
action. Wachtel came out late, and
as a result is not in top condition,
but as coach Ford stated, “Fresh
off the bench, he destroys peo-
ple.”
In addition to Finn and Wachtel,
Butch McGuerty will be at right

Vido will again round out the
State backfield. Last week Flana-
gan was cited by coach Ford for
calling an “outstanding game”
against R.LT. He hopes to repeat
his performance this week.
As for a game plan, Albany will
again look to establish Vido in-
side. Vido rushed for 101 yards
against R.I.T., and combined with
Boggs, they comprise one of the
most productive backfields any
team on our schedule is likely
to face.
Outstanding performances were
the order of the day against R.LT.
last Saturday, but coach Ford
made special mention of several
individuals:
Outstanding Offensive Back of the
Week: Bernie Boggs
Bernie rushed for 148 yards,
three touchdowns, and kicked
two field goals for a total of 24
points. Everything done last week
was a record, since it was Albany’s
first game, but Bernie’s accom-
plishments could very well stand
for years to come.
Outstanding Offensive Lineman of
the Week: Peter Moore
Pete came through with crucial
blocks that led to vital yards in
the Albany offense. His desire,
determination and consistency of
play earned him special recog-
nition.
Outstanding Defensive Lineman of
the Week: Butch McGuerty
Butch spent more time: in the
R.LT. backfield than did their
running backs. He anchored the
right side of the Albany line,nd
broke through to make numerous
unassisted tackles. Wherever the
ball went, McGuerty was there.

Football: What ItIs
by Dave Fink
This is the first part of a three part series on football. This
information came from a member of the team who has given up quite
a bit (involvement in school government and his private life) to play
the sport. In talking to him, it was impossible to ignore him rubbing
various scrapes and bruises, He was also kind of tired.
Last Saturday afternoon approximately 3800 people ventured down
to the football field to watch a team representing Albany State play
the first game on agridiron in the school’s 125 year history.
For most, the outcome, a decisive 30-21 victory over R.I.T., was
enough to kindle a great deal of support for the team and anticipation
for tomorrow’s Homecoming encounter with Siena.
One might wonder, however, just what the feeling would have been
had the Danes lost their opener. Would the average spectator have
criticized the players, the coaches, the team in general? Indeed, if
State is not as fortunate in the oeming weeks, will this be the
sentiment? I think that an important prerequisite in understanding
this team and accepting any defeat, as well as victory, is to understand
the sacrifice that a player makes to play football.
Many members of this team have never played football before. For
them, it means learning a new game, expending energy to a greater
extent than they ever have. It means giving up many pleasures and
much time. It means, in the case of some, rushing from student
teaching assignments in order to get to practice on time. It means a
married man giving up hours during which he might earn moneyrand it
means men taking graduate courses at the university just so that they
might play.
Obviously, to sacrifice and sweat in this manner is the choice of the
individual. The fact remains, though, that this choice should be
understood.
This is a rough account of what one week is like for an Albany State
football player.
Sunday evening: Review films of previous game. After the coaches
have gone over the films, they rate each player on his performance
and he is told what he has done wrong and what he has done
correctly.
Monday: Defensive team goes through light workout while
offensive team goes over next opponent’s formations and personnel
and their own game plan for the upcoming ball game. Then the
offensive team goes through an easy workout while the defense has a
similar meeting. Then the defense joins the offense to practice kickoffs
and punts. The practice concludes with a series of wind sprints (30-40
yards) and an “up-down” drill where the players run in place and
then, on the coach’s whistle, drop to the ground only to get up again
and continue running. This goes on for about 2% minutes.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: Scrimmage type situation with
the offense first running the upcoming opponent’s plays for the
defense and then the defense running the opponent's defense for the
offensive team (on the basis of scouting reports). There is also some
regular scrimmage (mostly on Wed.). The team then goes into the
“ive or die” drill. It has been called the “nutcracker drill’ when used
by Vince Lombardi and Allie Sherman. It entails, for example, two
linebackers taking on a blocker and a ball carrier in a confined area.
Needless to say, it is despised by the players. The practice ends with
sprints and up-downs.
Friday: An “easy” day. The team runs through the entire game plan
(plays, formations, etc.).
Saturday: Before the game, the coach goes over the personnel on the
respective teams (offense, defense and specialty), the opponent’s
strong and weak points and what his players must do to win the game.
Practice runs from 3:45 to 5:45. A man must reach the gym by 3:00
p.m. to get taped, dressed and talk to the coach. If a man is late for
calisthenics, he must do an extra minute of up-downs. This encourages
punctuality. Upon getting in from practice, he has until 6:30 to
shower, dress and get to Dutch Quad to eat. He can get to the library
by 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 and study until 10:30 because he finds that he
must be in bed by midnight. He is usually up early.
From this account, it is obvious that playing football is not all
scoring touchdowns. When you go to watch the Danes take on Siena
Saturday, keep this in mind. You might not be so quick in yelling
“Hey number 99, you stink!!””

Basketball Team
Begins Practice
Veteran State University at Al-
bany basketball coach Dick Sauers
greeted 13 candidates Thursday,
October 15, as workouts began
for the 1970-71 season. The squad
should be one of the deepest and
best-balanced of Sauers’ 16-year
career at Albany, during which
time he has compiled a 237-113
record,
On hand will be five lettermen,
four of them starters, from last
winter’s 13-9 varisty; four sopho-
mores from the 13-5 freshman
team; and four transfers.
“We will be improved over last
year,” Sauers claims. “With a
stronger bench, we can be more
aggressive and the new players are
good scorers, which will strengt-
hen us where we were weakest last
season. We'll miss the floor leader-
ship of Jack Adams (the only
graduated starter), but I think we
have several players who could
step into that role. As of now, all
Positions are open.”
Returning regulars, all seniors,
are co-captains Jack Jordan (6-0,
Green Island), and Alan Reid (6-2,
Binghamton), both forwards; cen-
ter Steve Sheehan (6-2, Fort Ed-
ward), and guard Jim Masterson
(6-1, Albany). Jordan led the
team in scoring (16.5) and re-
bounds (255), while Masterson
averaged 11.8 points a game, Reid
10.0, and Sheehan 8.0. Junior
John Heher (6-1, Elmira) missed
most of the season with an injury,
but was the leading freshman scor-
er the year before.
Up from the freshman team of
last. year are Werner Kolin (6-4,
Kingston), who was the top scorer
(12.6) and rebounder (153); Dave
Welchons (6-2, New Hartford);
Bob Obermayer (6-3, Rensselaer);
and Tim Minnehan (5-10, Li-
vonia). All should help.

Editorial
The Bombings
It’s here. Bomb scares, bombings across the state and
nation. Wisconsin, Santa Barbara, Harvard, Rochester,
New York City. It’s here. It can happen here. The same
reasons for it all, which exist in these other places, exist
here and everywhere.
Bombings happen not simply because there are psycho-
tics or crack-pots among us whose frustrations have built
to an outrage aginst humanity. Bombings are a tactic, and
a tactic of those whose outrage is against society and
society’s repression.
The first fault must lie with society, therefore. There are
those who have determined that there is no hope in the
present structures of society, that nothing can be gained
within those structures to redress the grievances against
minorities, against the nations of the Third World, against
the resources of the land, against democratic principles.
For many, for a growing many, these grievances are a way
of life, for this way of life, society is the blame.
The rationale is that of the guerilla behind enemy lines.
Operating in small cadres, those who are the outraged steal
among given sites and offer them up in ashes—a sacrament
or a sign for the rest of us. Thus most of the bombings
have been directed toward Defense Department or De-
fense- related establishments.
If bombings are a tactic, therefore, they cannot be
argued against as if they are the trade of psychotics. It
does the “liberal” absolutely no good to appeal to the
fears of his constituency by mounting a moral crusade
against the “demented.” He will never stop the bombings.
He will win his constituency, but he may move them
toward facism as well. He himself, in fact, may soon
become the facist.
They can however be argued against as a tactic, and
vehemently so. One person who is outraged can approach
the other on equal footing, can prove to him that he does
his position no good at all by his politics. A tactic that is
seldom understood as intended and which results in an
outcry against the accidental deaths, is a poor tactic
indeed. And it is increasingly clear that the politics of
selective bombings threaten to transform this nation into a
fully repressive, fascistic state, and offer in return no hope
at all for the redress of the outraged.
What have the bombings brought us? Nixon, Agnew,
Mitchell, the D.C. Crime Bill, the Henderson Act, under-
cover agents, college and inner-city massacres, “law and
order” elections, repression. Where will they lead us?
And there is a thought: that the means can grossly
pervert the ends, that the outraged in search of true
democracy adopt through their tactics, the most clitist
position of all, that for their outrage another life is
meaningless. On that principle rests imperialism and
Vietnam as well.

To the Editor:
The article by Al Senia in the
ASP of October 13 should not
pass without response. Mr. Senia’s
article is richly interlarded with
both simplistic logic and the con-
fusion of rhetoric with truth. He
is willing to do precisely what he
abhors most: accept violence as a
means of achieving one’s ends.
The United States has rightfully
been castigated for using violence
and destruction as tools of oppres-
sive policy, internally and exter-
nally. In opposition to this the
value of human beings as such is
justly held to be worth infinitely
more than any political or eco-
nomic goal. Systematically ma-
king people into “things” is the
greatest crime of our era. Hence, I
fail to see any meaningful distinc-
tion between a death caused by a
B-52’s bomb dropped from
35,000 feet and a death casued by
a terrorist’s bomb exploded sever-
al hours after the craftsman’s de-
parture. If quantified lives were a
measure of moral correctness then
perhaps even Hiroshima could be
grotesquely justified. But claiming
that “only” one man died in the
Wisconsin explosion (and he “ac-
cidently”) is one of the more
sinister manipulations one can ef-
fect using inhuman logic. Even the
bombers’ magnanimous _accep-
tance of responsibility for their
act’s result is pathetic.
The terrorists’ intention may
well be to beneficently alter this
country’s societal situation by eli-
minating militarism, racism, alien-
ation, exploitation-- in short,
espousing the whole litany of
humanistic goals, But their py-
rotechnics have already caused
one death and, should further
terrorism ensue, there will be
more. It is obviously absurd to
claim that the reckless endanger-
ment of human life is under
Humanity’s aegis. Thus we—each
of us—are utterly responsible for
ourselves: we can decry others’
acts, but we alone must insure
that we do not follow their im-
moral lead, To claim otherwise is
to abrogate moral responsibility
and to commit the atrocities at
which, ostensibly, we are out-
raged.
Terrorism will surely result in
more repression and violence. But
aside from this consideration,
which may be a calculated result
in some mutant dialectic, it
should be realized that, here and
now, terrorism imperils individual
lives in the service of dramatic
gesture. It seems to be not only
the American military which is
capable of disregarding human life
and which is willing to be a party
to death and suffering.

To the Editor:
I would like to comment on the
astoundingly “intelligent” selec-
tion of garbage placed in the ASP.
by that super-intelligent Al Senia.
His editorial “Bombings on the
Campuses” in Tuesday’s ASP has,
I’m proud to say, failed to see the
point, I would like Mr. Senia to
please distinguish between the
degrees of irresponsibility and
terrorism in respect to the bomb-
ings, when he states that for the
most part the bombs do “only”
property damage. Regardless of
what type of damage is perpetra-
ted (be it property or human life)
the bombings are undeniably
wrong! Simply because no human
life has been taken, or simply that
the only damage done was to the
American system, does not give
anyone the right or obligation to
destroy,maim, or kill, I wonder
what Mr. Senia would say if his
home, or car, or wife, became the
next victim of our sick society.
These idiotic bombings are not
destroying this evil society. They
are destroying the dilligent labor-
ing of good citizens and hard-
working masses who earn their
living by working hard. That’s all,
they simply work hard all their
life, Perhaps Mr. Senia wouldn't
like it too much if his father’s
“© COMMUNICATIONS: Bombs Away!
place of occupation was ruined
with a simple bomb. I also wonder
if he realizes that his father’s taxes
and hard work have helped to pay
for these campuses rocked with
bombs. It isn’t the evil or sick
society of America which should
bear the blame for these distur-
bances. It is radical extremists,
Gary J. Hull
To the Editor,
Many of us on campus were
pleased to see Albert Senia’s arti-
cle, “Bombings on the Cam-
puses,” in Tuesday’s ASP. It is
one of few ASP articles which is
truly analytical of the contempo-
rary American situation, which
doesn’t attempt to compromise its
Position and which doesn’t at-
tempt to appease every faction of
the campus community. It is writ-
ten not to satisfy, but to report
the truth as seen by the author,
As opposed to an Editorial
appearing on the same page—
which is unable to make the dis-
tiction between ignorance and re-
pression, which is blatantly igno-
rant of the Nixon Administra-
tion’s intentions and which warns
that it would be presumptuous on
the part of the Justice Depart-
ment to assume that violence and
terrorism on campus are “the
main thrust of change and acti-
vism.” Mr. Senia recognizes the
nature of the Established Order
and the direction which the strug-
gle against it must take—especially
if that struggle is to manifest itself
in any real change of society. His
article observes that, “blowing up
induction centers will stop the
system more effectively than sit-
ting on the steps will.”
When one has become accus-
tomed to mediocre reporting and
editorializing from our campus
newspaper, it is a hopeful sign
that someone has written an arti-
cle which perceives so well the
society in which the author is
existing. We would be pleased to
see such integrity, so infrequently
seen in ASP reporting and editori-
alizimg, continue.
