WSUA Investigated
By Central Council

by Carol Hughes
News Editor

Alleged violation of Student

Association financial policy and

mismanagement have resulted in a Central Council investigation of the

campus radio station WSUA.

A committee, headed by Tom Clingan, was appointed by Central
Council President Dave Neufeld “‘to immediately investigate the whole
operation of WSUA, i.e. past, present, and future,” according to the

Council resolution.

Council ordered the inquiry on the basis of a bill introduced by Jeff
Wasserman which charged “gross violation and patent neglect of the
Constitution of Student Association, Student Association Financial
Policy, the Constitution of WSUA, and the Laws of the New York

State...”

The original bill called for a complete shut down of the station at

midnight September 24. However.

al motion, contended

that WSUA had been fiscally irresponsible’ on several counts —

overspending, crossing budgetary
misuse of income.

lines, forgery of vouchers, and

Members of WSUA justified their handling of funds on three basic

points, First, most of the money
was spent to facilitate the move
uptown (which, according to SUA
sources, was promised by Student
Association) and to update equip-
ment uptown. (WSUA broadcasts
from Brubacher Hall on Alumni
Quad). Secondly, since most of
the large expenditures occurred
over the summer, it was difficult
‘to reach Central Council members
for consultation on budgetary
changes. Furthermore, to go on
the air, certain budgetary lines
had to be crossed to finarce the
purchase of all the necessary
equipment to broadcast.

However, members of Central
Council felt that these expend-
itures needed further justification

According to Clingan, results of
the committee’s investigation will
be released at the October 8th
Central Council meeting. In the
meantime, the station’s operation
has been left to the Station Man-
ager and the Executive Committee
of WSUA.

Although the Council bill called
for the relinquishing of keys to
the President of Student Associa-
tion, keys were not taken, and the
regular functioning of the station
has not been disturbed. The sta-
tion was forbidden, however, to
make on the air editorials on the
investigation, so that the commit-
tee’s findings may not be pre-

judiced.

Campus Security

.-harris

Investigation;

New Albany Director Sought

- The following is the second ina
series of three articles investi-
gating the present state of security
on campus and the future course
of Security operations.

by Al Senia.
Features Editor

The new Director of Security on
the Albany State campus will have

| “an extensive background in mili-
tary research,” according to in-
formed sources,

If this is the case, the effect such
a choice would have on
security operations and priorities
would be substantial and could
increase the possibility of renewed
student-security alienation.

The final selection has not yet
been made by the cight-member
search committee which is
currently screening applicants,
Nearly all of those interviewed
thus far, however, have been re-
tired members of the armed
forces, veterans of Southeast Asia,
and have had a solid background
in the field of military intelli-
gence,

“I would say,” this reporter was

told, “that based on the appli-
cations reviewed thus far, there is
a very good chance the person
chosen will have an extensive
background in military research
and intelligence.”

This new director will be respon-
sible for enforcing “federal, state,
and local laws as well as the laws
of the campus,” according to
central administration guidelines.
The choice,therefore, of the new
director will assume’ more signifi-
cance than choices of past
chiefs. Securivy’s responsibili-
ties are being expanded to cover a
wide range of statutes, rather than
just being concemed with
campus-related crime.

In less than a year Albany State
may find itself with a professional
police force, headed by a full time
director with an extensive military
background, and having a juris-
diction encompassing -all types of
crime,

spiraling crime rates, and growing
student distrust. Most other forces
in the SUNY system share the
same problems.

It was because of this that the
central administration conducted
a survey and developed a program
designed to upgrade security
operations throughout the system
Last spring’s disturbances served
as a further stimulus to SUNY
Central.

The key to this efficiency drive
is the creation of a new position—
Director of Security—on each of
the SUNY campuses. He would be
a full time professional, respon-
sible for maintaining and moderni-
zing local security police forces.

Here at Albany State, Chief of
Security James Connelly will
become an assistant to this
director.

The actual choice of the director
will be made by an eight-man

Ginsburg, Wagner
Open Free School

Allen Ginsberg and Gregory
Sorso poet laureats of America’s
youth culture spoke Sunday night
to a crowd estimated at 1200 in
Albany State’s gymnasium.

The poetry reading sponsored
by the Free School also featured
appearances by Gerry Wagner,
whose dismissal from the Rhetoric
and Public Address faculty caused
an uproar on campus last year.

Wagner read two poems ending
with his message to the crowd,
summarizing, he said “where his
head is at now.” “If it feels good
and doesn’t hurt anybody, do it.’

The evening’s events had started
with a spirited rendition of pop-
ular and folk music by Hector
Rivera, a student here at Albany.
His selections included: “Wood-
stock,” “In My Life,” “Fire and
Rain,” and “Tommy.”

Then Wagner strode to the pod-
ium, gave brief comments about
his court trial and welcomed the
audience to the first event of the
Free School. He pledged that the
school would continue operating,
even though its funds are caught
in the general budget freeze order-
ed by SA President Dave Neufeld
as a result of last week’s Supreme
Court decision.

The highlight of the evening was
an all too short appearance by
Ginsberg who began by soothing
the audience with a prophetic
recitation from the works of
Willizm Blake. The 44 year old
poet accompanied himself on the
cecorder.

He then read apoem he had
written only a few weeks before.
Using his famous stream of con-
sciousness technique, he outlined
his reactions to the current eco-
logical crisis. His farm in the
country, the imprisonment of
compatriot Timothy Leary, and
the pollution-laden Hudson River
were among the topics he touched
upon.

Then it was Corso’s turn and as
he began reading from his works
some of the audience drifted out.
He developed a quick rapport
with the remaining members of
the crowd who demanded and
received a poetic encore.

STREP STRIKES

by Terry Wolf

Dr. Rudolph Schmidt, acting
director of the infirmary, in
answer to the many rumors about
an epidemic of strep throat, ad-
mitted there was an outbreak of
the infection,

Dr. Schmidt clarified some of
the misunderstandings which have
been circulating campus. He ad-
mitted there was an outbreak of
upper respiratory infections and a
rash of sore throats, Dr. Schmidt
stressed the fact that there were
more colds reported than usual
but it had not reached epidemic
proportions.

Students have been found to
have strep throat. It is prevalent
throughout the living areas al-
though it is particularly concen-
trated in one of the quadrangles.
The State Health Department has
been on campus taking a survey of
students, both those that are sick
and those who have not demon-
strated any symptoms, in an ef-
fort to arrest the spread of the
strep-tococcus bacteria. In a re-
view of the random throat cul-
tures, it was discovered that a

disproportionate number of stu-
dents who do not appear sick are
carrying the bacteria. The food
handlers are also being tested as a
possible cause of the spread.

How the strep has been carried
is unknown at this time. The
major possibilities are through the
food or from person to person.
An investigation is being con-
ducted to answer the question.

In the meantime, the university
is taking preventive measures. Dr.
Schmidt has been in contact with
the State Health Department and
the U.S. Department of Health.
Since this is not an emergency, no
immediate action has been taken
yet. One possibility which is being
discussed is that of administering
preventative treatment at all the
living areas beginning with the one
which has reported the most cases
of sore throats. This would also
include students who are not ill.
Such action is being seriously con-
sidered because the bacteria can
affect the kidneys. Before any
measures can be initiated, a per-
mit will probably be reguired for
those students under 21, and tests

Rockefeller Against Crime

by Vicki Zeldin

“The crime and violence that
has become part of our daily
experiences” was the subject of
the speech delivered by Gov. Nel-
son Rockefeller to the NYS As-
sociated Press Association yester-
day.

“The fight against crime,’ said
the Governor, “is an issue on
which we stand united. Every
neighborhood, every race, every
age, every economic class...”

Rockefeller went on to discuss

Trustees Concerned

what steps have been taken to
ease this problem. He cited the
reorganization and the more than
doubling of the State Police
Force, the furthering of educa-
tional opportunities, and the set-
ting of minimum standards’ for

local police officers. The establish- .

ment of special units to deal with
the problems of drug abuse and
the computerization of the forces
to enable quicker, more efficient
law enforcement, were, also
among the improvements that
Rockefeller called his own.

Over Fund Freeze

by Linda Ulsh

The State University Board of
‘Trustees has resolved nothing in
the current student tax contro-
versy. After nearly a year of dis-
agreement over the allotment of
the mandatory student tax not
even a short-range solution has
been reached to thaw frozen stu-
dent funds.

The Trustees met last Wednes-
day and expressed “genuine con-
cern” over Justice Koreman’s de-
cision that student monies cannot
be appropriated without Trustee

All classes at SUNYA have been
suspended in observance of the
Jewish High Holy Days, from
noon Wednesday, September 30
until the evening of Friday, Oc-
tober 2, and from noon Friday,
October 9 until the evening of
October 10. This was the essence
of the statement issued by Presi-
dent Louis Benezet on September
22.

During these holidays, all dor-
mitories will remain open. Meal
hours for those eating at dorms
have been changed for the days of
September 30 until October 5. On
Thursday through Saturday, regu-
lar breakfasts will be served from
7:45 to 8:30 a.m., and continen-

8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Lunch will be
served from 12:00 to 1:00 and
dinner will be from 4:30 to 6:00
on these days. On Sunday, regular
breakfasts will be served from
7:45 to 8:30 a.m, and dinner will
be from 12:00 to 1:15 p.m.

The Campus Center will main-
tain regular hours during the holi-
days. The University Library will
be open from 8-5 on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday and will
operate on a regular schedule on
Saturday and Sunday.

approval. The Board gave its exec-
utive committee the job of investi-
gating all aspects of the problem
and reporting, at the next regular-
ly scheduled meeting, on what
action should be taken.

The Student Association now
looks to the New York StatelAp-
peals Court for a possible reversal
of the Stringer vs. Gould verdict.
Until the Trustees decide how to
appropriate money to agencies
that are of “educational, cultural,
recreational or social in nature,”
the problem of what the various
SA funded agencies are to do still
remains.

Rockefeller also spoke as well of
the addition of 125 judgeships
and the creation of a Statewide
Prosecutor for Organized Crime as
a means of alleviating the backlog
in the courts. The Governor did,
however, admit that the courts
were still backlogged. Rockefeller
also mentioned several other
measures that he had initiated
while in office to alleviate this
problem of crime.

Despite these steps Rockefeller
stated, “the problem of crime and
violence remains.” Rockefeller
promised that if re-elected he
would provide more grants to
local governments for crime pro-
tection and put more policemen
on the street. He proposed that
more policemen be assigned to the
major problems of each com-
munity—depending upon the
needs of the community. “ But
additional police are not the only
measures needed to crack down
on crime,” said the Governor and
he therefore proposed the follow-
ing: legislative authorization for
additional measures to improve
the administration of justice by
removing more non-criminal
offenses from criminal courts, by
providing criminal court judges,
and by authorizing a special pro-
cessing of trials on drug law viola-
tions.

Rockefeller closed his speech by
saying, “We must recognize that
crime will continue until we un-
derstand and cure this basic illness
in our society,” and he pledged
his total dedication to the people
of New York State in combatting
this problem.

Central Council’s grievance com-

with students’ complaints. Every-
one on campus, at one time or
another, has a grievance. The
problem is that there is no one to

mate—who surely can’t help you.

The grievance committee will be
looking into the following areas in
the coming year:

FOODSERVICE: Why are the
lines so long? Is it necessary to
treat students like criminals by
setting up barricades and employ-
ing people to guard the doors?
Why is the food so bad? Why

Two major candidates for state-

Adam Walinsky, the youthful no-

The nomination of Basil Pater-

the racial precedent involved.
Paterson represents a Harlem dis-

on numerous committees includ-
ing the Labor and Industry, the
Housing and Urban Development
and the Judiciary Committees.

There is no group on campus

Alan Ryder, co-ordinator of the
Walinsky campaign at Albany
State, said that the main issue in
the campaign for Attorney Gener-
al is that “the Attorney General is
not using his powers to protect
the people of the State of New
York. Black people are not being
protected. The laws are not being
enforced.”

Mr. Walinsky is hitting hard on
the lack of enforcement of racial,
and pollution statutes and the
general estrangement of the Atto-
rney General’s office from the
“little people.”

Mr. Paterson was recently the
subject of controversy when Gov-
ernor Rockefeller was quoted as
“too bad he’s not with us.” Mr.
Rockefeller later denied that he
would have preferred Paterson to
Malcolm Wilson, the Republican
candidate, as his running mate.

The Evolution Of The Gnema-
Bergman’s ‘Passion Of Anna’

by Tom Quigley

To state a consistent personal
philosophy in one film is still a
rather daring topic for money
motivated moviemakers. To state
this philosophy in a series of films
is unthinkable.

Yet Ingmar Bergman, Sweden’s
most prolific filmmaker, con-
tinues to court financial disaster
in his thirtieth film, THE PAS-

SION OF ANNA. The serious
filmgoer can be thankful he does.

The topic is once again
Bergman’s pessimistic view of
human relationships that inter-
twine the many themes evident in
his past three efforts: PERSONA,
HOUR OF THE WOLF and
SHAME.

Bergman once again examines
man’s inability to understand his

Students Now Offered

‘Ticketron’ on Campus

The services of TICKETRON are
now available at the Campus Cen-
ter Information Desk. TICKET-
RON is a recent computerized
ticket agency that uses a single
computer in New York City and
services theaters and sports events
throughout the Eastern seaboard.
In fact, it allows you to order
tickets in the Campus Center for
performances in New York City,
Boston, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Canada, Philadelphia, Washington
D.C. and Maryland.

Here’s how it’s done.

Each theater has its entire
seating plan for each performance
“memorized” by the TICKET-
RON computer center. Then each
TICKETRON outlet is wired
directly to the computer center
and can get an instantaneous re-
port on the best seats available for
any performance for any attrac-
tion subscribing to the’service.

Once you decide what night you
want to attend and what price
you want to pay, you tell the
TICKETRON representative, and
he places your order through the
computer center. By remote con-
trol your actual tickets are printed

by a process similar to teletype
and you leave the TICKETRON
outlet with your tickets in your
hand. You never haye to visit the
box-office at the theater you plan
to attend; you never have to wait
in line in the lobby; you never
have to make any kind of ex-
change of the ticket you get from
TICKETRON for some other tic-
ket issued at the box office. Your
TICKETRON ticket is your thea-
ter ticket and indicates the date of
the performance, row and seat.

Once your purchase is com-
pleted, the computer center has
on record that your seat is no
longer available and it is ready to
report for the next customer just
what seats are still to be sold.

The cost of the ticket is the
exact price you would have to pay
if you bought it at the door, plus
a $ .25 service charge.

So, if you ever decide to buy
tickets, look first to your nearest
TICKETRON location, the Cam-
pus Center Information Desk. The
hours are Monday, Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m,
to 2 p.m. and Tuesday and Thurs-
day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

SUNYA Hosts Theater Conference

Albany State was host to the
25th annual Conference of the
New York State Community
Theatre Association at the Perfor-
ming Arts Center this past week-
end, with dames Lommel of
Schenectady serving as conference
chairman.

The Tri-Cities Council of Com-
munity Theatres performed Oscar
Wilde’s ‘The Importance of Being
Ernest” on Friday evening. A con-
federation of theater groups in the
Capital District, the Tri-Cities
Council is under the direction of
Albany Times-Union drama critic
Martin P. Kelly.

On Saturday, Vinette Carroll,
director of the New York City
Urban Arts Corps, conducted
morning and afternoon work-
shops. Jack Suesse of the Syracuse

stage. Also planned was a mixed

media workshop, demonstrating

the use of film, projections, and
television tapes in combination
with live theater.

Following a conference banquet
on Saturday evening, the Hartford
Players of Westchester Com-
munity College, directed by Mort
Clark presented ‘Home Free” by
Langford Wilson. The second part
of the program featured the East
River Players’ production of “El

own nature as the reasoning
animal whose lack of self know-
ledge prevents the truthful com-
munication of his feelings to
others. The film is, in reality,
about the lies and self-deceptions
that man disguises as thruths.

The setting is a bleak, frozen
island that for no apparent reason
is suddenly plagued with a series
of vicious animal killings, The
mysterious identity of the killer
is, however, not of primary con-
cern to Bergman. The situation is
used metaphorically to parallel
and explore the insensitive natures
of the characters.

A Bergman film is its characters,
and ANNA, being no exception, is
a showcase for a quartet of talent-
ed regulars.

Max Van Sydow is superb as
Andreas, who isolates himself
from other human beings through
an attitude of calculated indiffer-
ence. Bibi Andersson and Erland
Josephson are the married couple
whose relationship has degenera-
ted to stalemate, in whichtheyare
nothing more to each other than
polite, emotionless strangers.

Liv Ullmann is fragile and bril-
liant as Anna, whose “happy”
marriage has been shattered by
the violent deaths of her husband
and son.

Anna’s passion is truth as she
perceives it, and she spreads her
inflexible “faith” like a religious
zealot. Her relationship with
Andreas, however, becomes the
mirror image of her marriage, and
despite her incredible willfulness,
Anna’s truth becomes just another
interpersonal lie.

Bergman’s construction of the
film borrows heavily from Jean
Luc Godard as the actors step out
of their roles to discuss their
characters in on-camera inter-
views. Bergman frequently aban-
dons the illustration of thoughts
and has characters reciting their
monologues and dialogues for the
camera to record, not unlike
Godard.

He also incorporates the themes
from his past films into the fabric
of ANNA. For example, the con-
fusion of identity from PER-
SONA as Von Sydow (as Andreas
Winkelman) assumes the role of
the dead husband, whose name
was also Andreas; the illustration
of Anna’s nightmare, which is the
continuation of the end of
SHAME; and the themes of per-
sonal isolation and the distrotion
of realities, which are basic to all
three films.

Finally, Bergman’s technique of
using the camera as a simple re-
cording device is completely
Godardian and would seem to
violate the kinetic principles of
film, which is Godard’s style. The
use of long shots and close-ups in
static, unmoving positions be-
comes a bit tedious. Yet Sven
Nykvist’s lyrical cinematography
shot in muted color is marvelous
in its usage of light to record

This group will probably never

writing is often impressive and
rarely pretentious, and their
soloists range from adequate to
capable.

The sound isn’t perfect nor the
lyrics earth shaking, especially
“Diary’? where the  singer’s
mumbling makes matters worse.
“Pocket” is a Chuck Berry-Type
old-fashioned-rock’n’roll, four-to-
the-bar thing. The vocal has an
echo chamber affect and the
guitar solo is all strumming. The
use of two tempi here doesn’t
work as well as in “Diary”? where
everything is speeded up for the
solo.

Whilé “Tired Eyes” is too polite,
and with the strings (an added
distraction) it sounds like a good
vehicle for Dean Martin, it is
catchy and might make the God-

“Some Other Time” is
Dylanesque with some grandiose
brass figures. Some might find it
stirring. Some find the National
Anthem stirring. “Going Round”
balances it out though; it is
humorous, and entertaining.

I have an ambivalent feeling
about this album. There is variety
and some nice composition. There
is no definite character developing
here, but it is worth a listener s
time and money if you have a lot
of it.

nothing but a roughly-cut
diamond. It is the director’s job to
do the polishing up.

But when it comes to organizing
pantomimes, actors’ exercises,
improvisations , or especially,
skits, the problems facing the
director are more basic. Here, he
must create order out of chaos.
He must mould the disjointed
parts into a whole. In short, he
must lend coherence to his work.
Any: successful (aesthetic or com-
mercial) production has that qua-
lity; Art without unity is meaning-
less.

In this respect,
FEIFFEROLOGY, Experimental
‘Theatre’s first Friday Night pre-
sentation, failed. The evening was
advertised as “‘a series of dramatic
sketches.” It was just that: a
series, not an organic entity. W.C.
Doscher, the director, forgot, pre-
sumably, to build his production
around a specific theme.
FEIFFEROLOGY drifted in all
directions; consequently, it went
nowhere. Not that a show should
be so tightly structured that it
cannot breathe. A certain loose-
ness is desirable. But the presence
of a motif is essential, a central
idea which brings all other aspects
of the production into focus.

Unfortunately, lack of selecti-
vity was not the only problem
afflicting FEIFFEROLOGY. A
severe absence of creative imagina-
tion stunted the entire produ-
ction. Lights, for example, were
functional—at best. Ditto cos-
tumes, sets.

The real catastrophe, however,
was the cast. Using the state like a
rhinoceros might perform a sur-
gical operation, they accompli-
shed little of value to posterity.
They looked ‘stiff, off-balance,
and, maybe just as well for them,
insincere. I could not help feel
they were playing a part, and
badly. To treat Feiffer like slap-

stick is the same as allowing ‘Our
Boy Dick” to recite Shakespeare
in public. That constant begging
for the belly-laugh was rather dis-
heartening. Towards the end, I
was beginning to wonder if such
overbearing absence of subtlety
might have some relation to the
coming of the Apocalypse. I hope
not.

On the credit side, there were
certain things worth praising. A
bundle of energy named Holly
Fitter gave the show some move-
ment. Rae Ann Crandall endowed
her part with a little bit of insight.
Katherine O’Connor combined
the angeli¢ and the sexy. But the
main praise goes to Greg Haynes
and Hank Kuivila who seemed to
belong to another show.

Enough of this. Most of the
actors in FEIFFEROLOGY can
do better than the flop that was
Friday night. Let us all, my
brethren, await happier times.

Ancient Federal Law Used

By

by John Hamer
College Press Service

Qui Tam is an old legal principle
which allows you, the individual
citizen, to file suit in the name of
the government against people
who break certain laws, and then
collect half of the fine for a
conviction.

The idea has been getting a lot
of attention lately coupled with
another crusty old law called the
Refuse Act of 1899, which for-
bids anyone or any group from
throwing pollutants into any navi-
gable waters in the United States
without a permit.

What all this means is that now
you can proceed directly to your
local neighborhood industrial pol-
luter, get some information and
samples, and then file a suit which
could bring a fine of not more
than $2,500 nor less than $500
for each day of violation, of
which you get half. It could get
the polluter thrown in jail for not
less than 30 days nor more than 1
year, which is unlikely but nice to
think about.

Basically, once you find a pollu-
ter to attack, you should prepare

a detailed statement, sworn to
before a notary public, setting
forth:

the nature of the refuse material
discharged;

the source and method of dis-
charge;

the location, name and address
of the person or persons causing
or contributing to the discharge;

each date on which the dis-
charge occurred;

the names and addresses of all
persons known to you, including
yourself, who saw or knows about
the discharges and could testify
about them if necessary;

a statement that the discharge is
not authorized by Corps permit,
or, if a permit was granted, state
facts showing that the alleged
violator is not complying with any
condition of the permi

if the waterway into which the
discharge occurred is not com-
monly known as navigable, or as a
tributary to a navigable waterway,

“state facts to show such status;

where possible, photographs
should be taken, and samples of
the pollutant or foreign substance
collected in a clean jar which is
then sealed. These should be la-
beled with information showing
who took the photograph or sam-
ple, where, and when, and how;
and who retained custody of the
film jar.

This will be your basic ammunit-
ion in the suit, and should be filed
in a U.S. district court, which
apparently have exclusive jurisdic
tion to hear and decide such suits.
The Supreme Court has upheld
Qui Tam suits in the past on the
basis that the citizen-informer has
a financial interest in the fine and
therefore can sue to collect it.

In July, the Justice Department
issued a fascinating memorandum
called “Guidelines for Litigation
Under the Refuse Act” and sent it
out to all U.S. Attorneys.

The prosecution policy state-
ment encouraged U.S. Attorneys
to use the 1899 law “to punish or
prevent significant discharges,
which are either accidental or
infrequent, but which are not of a
continuing nature resulting from
the ordinary operations of a man-
ufacturing plant.” (Italics sup-
plied.)

acknowledging that industrial pol-
lution posed ‘‘the greatest threat

to the environment,” claimed that

the Nixon Administration was al-

ready hard at work to stop large
manufacturers from polluting.

Assistant Attorney General
Shiro Kashiva of the Justice De-
partment’s Land and Natural Re-
sources Division has stated that
“we can see no justification for
allowing court actions by indivi-
duals.”

In short, it seemed to some
environmentalists that the Nixon
Administration, despite its strong
rhetoric, was hedging in favor of
big business and industrial inter-
ests.

Reaction from many sides was
immediate and scathing:

-Stewart Udall, former Secre-
tary of the Interior, said, “En-
vironmentalists who fear that the
Nixon Administration's anti-
-pollution drive may be half rhet-
oric, half promises and half poli-
ties have found a strange new ally.
The Justice Department is trying
to prove they are right.”

~The Conservation Foundation,
a respected national group, stated,
“Our basic difficulty...is with the
underlying policy of the (Justice
Department’s) Guidelines...The
policy you articulate disregards
the theory behind the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act; fed-
eral leverage is required to force
states to establish and implement
water quality standards.”

~And Henry Reuss, Wisconsin
Congressman, complained that the
Justice Department's “limited en-
forcement” doctrine “favors the
polluter over the public’s interest
in preventing the pollution of our
waterways.”

The basic problem in the entire
area of water pdllution law en-
forcement and prevention seems
to be theunderlying différence of
opinion between the Nixon Ad-
ministration and environmental
activists concerning individual citi-
zen involvement. Activists want to
increase it; the Administration
tries to decrease it.

Dr. Frederic Gerard Burke, Pro-

fessor of Pediatrics at Georgetown
University, Washington, D.C., be-
gan his fight for clean air in the
early 1960’s with testimony be-
fore the Senate Subcommittee on
Public Works on a bill which in
1963 became the Nation’s first
Clean Air Act. He was concerned
-about the insidious effects of air
pollution on children who have
some form of allergy: hay fever,
eczema, or asthma. He knew some
20 per cent of the country’s child-
ren were plagued in varying de-
grees by these pulmonary ail-
ments, and he knew U.S. pedia-
tricians spent up to 85 per cent of
their office time on respiratory
diseases.

What he didn’t know was to
what extent air pollution actually
complicated and intensified the
respiratory suffering experienced
by one out of five American
children. So he decided to find
out. His studies were
aimed at the long-term sub-lethal
effects of contaminated air on the
children he affectionately termed
“the canaries of our streets.”
Children whose chronic respiratory
ailments react sensitively to any
adverse change in the air they
breathe, warning city residents of
dangerously contaminated air
much like the coalminers’ trusted
canaries. Children whose afflic-
tion, in many cases, may never
have been accurately diagnosed

The submarine unit can already
duplicate virtually all the physical
environmental features of any
part of the country through con-
trol of barometric pressure, temp-
erature and humidity. Controls
still under construction are those
regulating the quality of air—
content of sulfur dioxide, nitrous
oxide, ozone, ete.—which can
then simulate the ambient atmos-
pheric conditions of any city, at
any time (such as those occurring
during an inversion).

Dr. Burke estimates a three-
week stint within the unit will be
necessary to produce solid air
pollution data. Some 20 chronic-
ally asthmatic children at the Hos-
pital for Sick Children have al-
ready spent from 2-3 days in the
unit, 2-3 at a time, under baro-
metric pressures ranging from sea
level to Denver’s 5000 feet. With
the addition of the control fea-
tures which will inject various
degrees of contaminated air into
the unit, the statistical data so
essential in documenting air pol-
lution’s effect will begin to be
recorded. Building trades, accord-
ing to Dr. Burke, have already
expressed interest in the sub-
marine principle which they feel
may someday have to be incor-
porated into business offices.

Dr. Burke does not stand alone
in his deep-felt convictions about
air pollution. Others share his
feelings and are doing the same.

‘Better Than Cancer Cure

Consider the recent statistics
compiled by two Pittsburgh eco-
nomists, Dr. Lester B. Lave and
Eugene P. Seskin of the Carnegie-
Mellon School of Industrial Ad-
ministration. Their study indicat-
ed that if air pollution were cut
by 50 per cent in major cities,

—a newborn baby would have
an additional 3-5 years life
expectancy.

—deaths from lung cancer and
in fact all lung disease would
be cut by 25 percent.

—death and disease from
heart and blood vessel dis-
orders might be cut by 10-15
per cent.

—all disease and death would
be reduced by 4.5 per cent
yearly, and the annual saving
to the nation would be at
least $2 billion.

“We can put it more simply,”
said Lave in an interview with The
Washington Post. “For the average
middle-class American family liv-
ing in an urban area, abating A
pollution is the single most im
portant thing we could do to
improve health.

“If we could reduce air pollu-
tion by 50 per cent, it would save
nearly as much in money and life
as if we found a complete cure for
cancer,”

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

A Redress of Grievance

Albany State has needed a day-care center since the day the
uptown campus was built. This is a suburban campus to which
most faculty and students commute relatively long distances.
Those with children have long since felt the need for an adequate
program of caring for infants as parents taught, studied or
worked.

The University has the responsibility to provide those within its
community with the services necessary to successfully function
therein. This service has for years been denied, often in the most
cynical of ways. The administration should be mindful therefore
that the service is not a bold innovation but to some extent, the
redress of grievance.

Dr. Benezet was correct in immediately asserting his intention of
establishing day care. It is apparent that he has made every
attempt to obtain funds, including the unusual move of personally
appearing before the University Budget Committee to explain the
need for funds. R

Unfortunately, however, rehabilitation of Pierce Hall basement
will not be completed until Dec. 1 and no prediction is being
made as to when the facilitigs for day care will actually be
installed. There have been reports as well, though wholly
unconfirmed that Dr. Benezet has not asked for as much as
necessary to meet the need, and therefore, they money obtained
would meet the costs only for a limited operation. A public
statement is necessary specifying the amount requested, not
simply the amount granted. Moreover, the demand for a more
complete survey should immediately be met to determine the
actual extent of the need and the nature of day care required to
meet it.

The frustration of those who have campaigned since last
February for the long overdue service is easy to appreciate. They
have met with continual delay and until recently, total non-
commital. Yet, those involved in the struggle should realize the
politics of the situation, that the legislature , in a repressive and
conservative mood, would react negatively to any subsequent
request for funds if the center is associated with radical activities.
Pressure must be maintained on the administration, but to the
extent possible, it should be applied not through demonstrations
but through the committee designed to create the center.

Heated Controversy: WSUA

A latent controversy was brought violently to the surface when
the management of WSUA indicated that they would submit to
Central Council a supplemetary budget request for nearly
$20,000. Charges of duplicity, forgery and general mismanage-
ment were met by the radio’s staff with countercharges of
bureaucratic delay and unfulfilled promises. The mistrust was
such that the first reaction to the budget request was a move for
the immediate closing and reorganization of the station.

Fortunately, the station has not been closed. The resolution
passed by Central Council established instead an Ad-Hoc Com-
mittee to review the station’s financial situation and report back
directly to Council. As passed, the resolution cited “gross
violation and patent neglect of the Constitution of Student
Association, the Constitution of WSUA, and the Laws of New
York State.”

The management has in fact admitted violations totalling $1600.
They insist, however, that the misspending has been overplayed
and that the fundamental difficulties are not financial but
technical, stemming from the frustration of the studio’s move
uptown. They insist, too, that they were sold out, that though the
move was never formally budgeted, it was okayed by the S.A.
president.

Every student has the right to expect that the finances of the
station be brought in order and that misspending cease. WSUA is
funded from mandatory tax paid by all, and the management
cannot take this fact too lightly. At the same time however,
Central Council should proceed cautiously in its handling of the
situation lest a dangerous precedent of interference with ‘the
media be set. By directly interfering with the media, Council is
dangerously asserting its right to control that media. Such control
is unwarranted and to avoid it the committee’s role should be
limited to advisement, not direct supervision. :

On campus media serves as a forum and hence effective check to
the power and operation of Student Association. Obviously,
Central Council is making no move to assume control, yet it
remains true that precedents established now could be used in an
entirely different manner by future S.A. representatives.

Freedom

by Robert H. Iseman
Class of 1970
The author was originally a plaintiff in
the Stringer vs. Gould case.

I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to set the record straight
concerning the purposes and mo-
tives of our law suit against the
Central Council and the Trustees
of the State University of New
York; and hopefully dispel some
of the misconceptions that have
arisen over the past few months.

Particularly disturbing has been
the persistent efforts of some peo-
ple to politically label our actions.
For example, the ASP described
the law suit as a “conservative
protest.” Ours is not a conser-
vative or liberal protest, but a
protest for individual freedom and
responsibility. Mr. Stringer and I
object to the funding of any
political group with mandatory
student tax money, regardless of
its philosophy. We do not believe
that any individual should be
forced to fund and thus promul-
gate any political or moral idea
that he finds personally offensive.
If certain students at SUNYA
wish to financially support activi-
ties such as the Student Strike

and Mandatory Tax

Committee, The Day Care Center,
peace rallies, the Free University,
and the Third World Liberation
Front, that is certainly their right;
but they have no right to coerce
the rest of the student body into
doing the same. In our opinion,
the ideal solution to the problem
is to eliminate the mandatory tax

and put all student activities on a

pay-as-you-go basis. Unfortunate-
ly, Justice Koreman denied us this
remedy.

After Justice Koreman froze all
student funds some people asked
me if I wasn’t sorry for all the
inconvenience that Ken and I
caused the “moderate” students.
We caused no inconvenience, but
Central Council did. Had the more
“moderate” students cared
enough to vote in school elections
they could have averted the pre-
sent situation by electing more
responsible representatives. Our
suit can be directly attributed to
student apathy, and for that mat-
ter, so can the property damage
and distruptions that occured last
spring. Regrets? Yes, I do have
one, I regret that my June 1970
graduation prevented me from be-
ing an official plaintiff in the suit!

Finally, our motives have been
described as both “selfish” and
“individualistic.” This description
is precisely CORRECT. We are
both extremely selfish with our
,individual liberties; everyone
| should be!! Those who are not
selfish with their freedom soon
lose it, and any man who tells you
that individual rights have to be
sacrificed to something called the
“greater good” is either a tyrant
or a fool. Individualistic? Yes! We
refuse to accept the theory of
“social rights” as implied by such
proposed activities as the Day
Care Center. Since when has hav-
ing children become a social func-
tion? By what right does Central
Council decree that every student
must pay child support by fund-
ing the Day Care Center?

We believe that everyone must
have the right to decide what
causes they want to support. We
will not allow anyone to make
that decision or any other decison
for us. This is the motive behind
our legal action; to maintain free-
dom of choice, freedom of asso-
ciation, and to control the de-
cisions that ultimately affect our
lives as free individuals.

Whoops! The Thinking Toy

by Barry Kirschner

With the heavy burdens of be-
coming an uncle about to be
thrust upon my shoulders I felt it
my responsibility to find out what
is happening in the fantastic world
of toys. To do this I spoke to Sam
Somley at the Ideal Corporation.
The interview went something like
the following:

“| heard you’ve made some fan-
tastic progress in the field of toys
and dolls” (not to be confused
with Guys and Dolls).

“Yes, the wonders of American
Technology can be no more better
seen than in the simulated ma-
chine and people industry. Why
our products are capable of exter-
minating millions of fabricated
enemies, and we also can now
make dolls which not only drink

and wet, but can also solve simple -

mechanical problems.”

Having resolved in my mind that
should I be the uncle of a boy, the
only way he would play with
military hardware would be over
my dead body, I chose to ignore
that segment of the industry and
concentrate on what was hap-
pening to the model peoples. I
asked Mr. Somley how he made
his manufactured people work.

“Well one must realize that we
are dealing with artificial people
and therefore must work with
artificial stimuli. In order to pro-
duce the reactions our cory ra-

tion wishes to instill in these toys,
we have been blessed by a govern
ment grant specifically earmarked
for researching how to keep arti-
ficial people from doing things we
don’t want them to do.”

Amazed at the idea of artificial
people reacting any way other
than the way preordained for
them I asked how this might be
possible.

“Well what has happened is that
some of our dolls whom we pro-
grammed to talk and react acci-
dentally picked up the ability to
think. Needless to say some of our
better schools are already in
chaos. Seems as if ideas spread
very quickly among our pro-
duets.”

“Do you mean that there are
actually radical toys among an
assembly line produced stock?’

“Unfortunately. We make allow-
ances for some dolls to have long
hair and shabby clothes, but we
expected all our products made in
this country to be -essentially of
one material—plastic.”

“If you actually created schools
for these toys to go to, didn’t you
expect they would learn to
think?” I asked in my naive man-
ner.

“That was not in the plan. In-
struction at our centers for educa-
tion were supposed to be comple-
tely programmed. The purpose of
these schools is to build artificial
people able to perform functions

their masters choose for them. ”

“And what is the matter with
the free-thinking doll?”

“He obviously does not fit in
with the rest of his people. Not
only is he unwilling to do mecha-
nical work, but some of these
radicals are trying to interject
philosophical questions into what
was once a smooth running
business.”

“By the way how is business?’

“We're on the downtrend of the
cycle now, because we made the
mistake of putting certain chemi-
cals toughening our dolls’ resist-
ance to spindling, folding, and
mutilating, a few years ago. Put
too much longevity in the natural
life of those dolls. Until the ’67
and ’68 models start dying sales
on our new °71’s will be off. The
decision to put those chemicals in
our old products sort of made us
look like dummies.”

Choosing to ignore this last pun
and Sam’s silly giggling, I thanked
him and left, hearing him say on
the way out “I hope the kid grows
up right, I got quite a few nieces
and nephews myself.”

For some reason thinking about
the implications of the manu-
facturing plastic people wouldn’t
let me rest, but fortunately a
television commercial had the
good sense to suggest that I take
two sleeping pills and go to bed,
and I obeyed.

Hef & Ziggy

Dear Hef & Ziggy
ASP Feature Inc.

Dear Hef & Ziggy:

Now that the administration has accepted the right of Jews and
Christians to observe their religious holidays perhaps, at last, equal
recognition will be given to all religions. Being the Grand Erector and
Towering Head of “The United Priapic Sixth Minute Front of the
Nonyonic Rising Phallic Order” I have the responsibility of providing
the meeting place of the sacred ceremony of “Tricentennial ‘Trans-
terrestial Precarious Positioning of the Penisian Planets.”

This ceremony takes place when the Van Allen Belt is transformed
into a precise replica of our Founder’s, Master Batus Organus,
genitilia. Commencement of services is signaled by the High Rod
blowing his horn. Some highlights of the mass include: The
distribution of the movement's traditional dildoian fezes, the unison
offertory of the seminal prayer reiterating the Ten Phallic Fallacies,
the awe-inspiring sight of the ritualistic deep knee bend (done with
arms stretched rigidly overhead) and the sacrificial, page-boy haircut
received by the Grand Erector as a symbol of the demands modern
society places on the holders of the sacred pudenda. The soaring
finale, accompained by exciting organ music, is the formation of a
human obelisk composed of each member sequentially pyramiding on
one another’s shoulders till the membership is molded into a human
lingam, ascending skywards—reaching towards the great vision in the
heavens.

To bring my point to a head, I would like this campus (which
incidentally, was constructed as a shrine to our movement by one of
the cream of our crop) to host this obviously solemn rite.

So, Hef & Ziggy—holders of all wisdom, knowers of truth, seers of
sooth, prophets of what will be, counselors of the humble masses and
second string assistant cleat pickers for the New York Mets—in what
manner does one obtain official permission to hold such a deeply
ecclesiastical celebration?

Peter Pecker G.E., T.H.

Your Honorable Erector:

It seems you have a problem.
There is a precise, official pro-
cedure that queries of this nature
must follow. You must first sub-
mit a written request to gain
permission to use the campus to
the Vice President in charge of
Student Affairs, who will refer
you to the Dean of Campus Acti-
vities, who will refer you to the
Chairman of the Campus Program-
ming Committee, who will refer
you to the President of Women’s
Liberation Front, who will refer
you to the Chairman of the Philo- |
sophy Department, who will refer |
you to the Zeteticks club, who
will refer you to the head librar- |
ian, who will refer you to the ASP
copy boy, who will refer you to
the Rathskellar short order cook,
who will refer you to your R.A.
(who can solve all problems), who
will refer you to the Rathskellar
short order cook, who will refer
you to the ASP copy boy... Our
fez sizes are 8% and 7%.

Council Acts To End Freeze,
To Investigate SUA Problems

by Ken Stokem

In an effort to thaw the court
imposed freeze of Student As-
sociation funds Central Council
passed a position statement, intro-
duced by Dave Neufeld, recom-
mending the Executive Commit-
tee of the Board of Trustees, of
the S.U.N.Y., to empower Presi-
dent Benezet to approve S. A.’s
budget and appropriations.

It was. stipulated that this state-
ment would be specifically termed
as an interim action and would be
superceded by any court action. It
was emphasized that this action
by Council was to be by no means
termed as a long-range asnwer to
the current court decision. Coun-
cil is continuing in its efforts to
appeal and overturn the Koreman
decision.

The bill also recommended the
establishment of a series of study
groups consisting of one-half stu-

New Services

Mark Holiday

by Robert Schwartz

Searching for a unique and more
meaningful way of celebrating the
Jewish High Holidays, several
Jewish students are creating their
own experimental services for
Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur.

Since most Jewish students will
probably be going home for Rosh
Hashonah, the few remaining stu-
dents will meet at a private home
off campus for services. For Yom
Kippur, though, the group intends
to obtain the use of the Campus
Center Assembly Hall; it encour-
ages the entire campus community
to celebrate the holiday with
them.

Many Jewish students feel
divorced and alienated from tra-
ditional temple services which
tend to stifle rather than stimulate
their enthusiasm for Judaism, and
feel isolated from their fellow
Jews. The others, although able to
relate to traditional services, de-
sire to reevaluate both themselves
and their religious beliefs from a
much deeper and more critical
level. The group believes that the
High Holiday services should en-
courage a deeper and more spirit-
ual involvement on the part of
each individual while also pro-
viding an atmosphere in which
individuals can freely express their
religious thoughts and feelings
with each other.

In order to provide this atmos-
phere, the group is planning an
unstructured service in which any-
one interested is free to bring in
any poems, writings, and songs
which they consider to be mean-
ingful to the holidays. The stu-
dents do not want to passively
read their writings and listen to
the music but instead aim to
freely discuss their own ideas on
these works.

NOTICE
All graduate students wishing
to nominate themselves for po-
sitions on the University Senate
and Executive Council should
send a note via campus mail to
the Graduate Student Associa-
tion office, CC 333.

tact Richard Pfister, 459-5155,

dents and one-half appointments
of Chancellor Boyer. The groups
are to consider such things as: the
effect of the Koreman decision on
other campuses, manditory and
voluntary student tax, the current
guidelines for S.A. expenditures as
outlined by the Trustees, and the
rights and responsibilities of stu-
dents and how students monies |
can be student-controlled.

The bulk of last Thursday’s
meeting was taken up in discus-
sion over whether or not WSUA
should have its budget frozen and

operations suspended. A bill intro-*

duced by Jeff Wasserman stated
the following: “WSUA has acted
in gross violation and patent ne-
glect of the Constitution of the
Student Association, S.A. finan-
cial policy, the Constitution of
WSUA, and the laws of New York
State...” and proposed that
WSUA’s budget be immediately
frozen; that WSUA must cancel all
services as of midnight Sept. 24;
that all equipment, supplies, and
other materials belonging to S.A.
be immediately inventoried and
locked; that all keys and other
instruments of access be im-
mediately turned over to the Pre-
sident of S.A.; that Council ap-
point a committee to immediately
investigate the whole operation of
WSUA, i.e., past, present, and
future; and that before any futher
action is taken concerning WSUA,
that this committee report back
to council. Wasserman went on to
list the alleged WSUA actions that
precipitated the introduction of
his bill. He alleged the overspendi-
ng of 3 budget lines, totaling over
$600, the transference of monies
from one line to another, totaling
$5,000, without Finance Commit-
tee’s authorization, failure to get
competitive bids on purchases of
items costing over $500, reusing
income without permission, all in
violation of Finance policy, for-
gery on money vouchers and sev-
eral other violations. Any one of

the forementioned violations calls
for freezing of a group’s budget.

Discussion centered on the ques-
tion of whether or not it would be
more harmful than beneficial to
the University community to
freeze WSUA’s budget. In an ef-
fort to reach a solution suitable to
all, Professor Bernard Johnpoll
introduced an amendment to the
bill that WSUA be allowed to
continue to operate, but as of
midnight Sept. 24, 1970, all
operations of WSUA will be under
the control of a committee select-
ed by Council. The bill finally
passed Council in its amended
form 16-3-3.

In other business Council estab-
lished an ad hoc committee on
student security. The committee
will “have the powers, upon stu-
dent request, involving investiga-
tion of sources of imminent
threats to students’ persons, indi-
vidual liberties and property.” It
will look into possible violations
of civil liberties of students and
report back to Council. The bill,
also, requested the cooperation of
the Campus Security Department
in the committee’s activities.

Finally, Council voted to sup-
port the Indian Quad petition
{signed by about 150 residents of
that quad) which requested a re-
duction in their housing bill. The
residents of the quad cited the
lack of services and incon-
veniences they must endure as the
basis for this bill. Residents of
that quad pay the same room and
board charges as do all campus
residents.

Draft Counseling

The following is a series of questions and answers regarding the
Draft Counseling Service recently set up by Student Association.

Q: What is draft counseling?

A: Draft counseling is aimed at making available to all draft age men
vital information pertaining to their draft status and possible
alternatives to military service. We do not counsel ‘draft-dodging,’
the aim is to utilize the wide provisions of the law as regards to
options in and out of the military.

Q: When can I get counseled?

A: There is now a schedule of hours when counseling is available.
One schedule is located at the CC Information Desk, another
schedule is posted outside the SA office. Over 20 hours of
counseling per week, during the day and at night, are now available.

Q: Can I contact draft counselors by phone?

A: Yes, the draft counseling office has a phone--457-4009. In

addition, each counselor will have his individual number available to
his advisees.

Q: What if there is no one there when I need help?

A: There is a sign-up sheet in the Draft Counseling office where
anyone can write their name and number down, and they will be
contacted shortly.

Q: Lam qualified to be a counselor. Can I help?

A: ‘Yes. Qualified counselors are needed urgently. There is a sign-up
sheet in the Draft Counseling office which askes for only qualified

counselors who are willing to donate four hours per week to
counseling.

AMIA

In League I action this past
Tuesday, ALC and Potter Club
played to a 14-14 deadlock. On
Thursday, APA shut out GDX,
27-0, while front-running STB
edged KB 14-6,

After almost two weeks of play
the races in Leagues I, II, and III
are beginning to take shape.

Currently, in League I, STB
holds a substantial lead and ap-
pears to be a very strong contend-
er for the championship. ALC’s
chances of moving up into con-
tention, will be determined in the
coming week when they oppose
STB twice. If APA and EEP re-
main within tackling distance of
STB for the next three weeks,
they will both have shots at first
place, as STB’s final two match-
ups are with these two teams.
Don’t be surprised, though, if it
all narrows down to the last game
on October 24—a showdown for
the League I crown—matching the
STB and APA powerhouses. As of
Sept. 25 the standings in League I
looked like this:

State broke the scoreless tie at

by Bob Mirett

In League II, both TXO and BPS
have perfect records and will meet
head on on Oct. 8 to determine
league supremacy.

Turning to League IIL, there are
five teams bunched at the top of
the standings and it seems likely
that there will be a five team
scramble for first place.

As of Sept. 25, this is the way
the teams stood:

17:35 of the third period when
center halfback Fred Campbell
was fouled in the penalty area.
The rules state that this type of
infraction calls for a penalty kick
and forward Demetrios Michael
promptly deposited the ball in the
Castleton net to make the score
1-0 in favor of the Danes. The
score remained the same for the
remainder of the third quarter as
Castleton missed two great chanc-
es to tally when shots struck the
goal posts instead of going in.
With only twenty seconds to

Castleton, 2-0

play in the encounter, forward
Ron Spratt kicked the ball loose
from the hands of the home team
goalie and Michael again was
Johnny on the spot, being right
there to put it in,

This type of break, along with
those two shots that hit the posts,
are an example of just what part
luck plays in a game like soccer.
Last year’s team was a very strong
one but an incredible number of
bad breaks and wasted opportu-
nities led to a 1-7-3 season. This
year seems to be a different story.

was a near perfect outing for
Quinn, who looks like he'll be
doing some nice things on the
pitcher’s mound over the next
three years,

In the past, Albany’s basic prob-
lem has been hitting and pitching.
This season, fielding looks to be
added to the list, but hopefully
pitching can be crossed off. Dane
fielders committed two errors last
Saturday and four big ones against
Siena Wednesday. Against Le-
Moyne last week, they made three
in the first game and were able to
squeeze in five more in the second
game, before it was called in the
sixth. That adds up to 14 errors,
which adds up to a lot of the
enemies running around the bases,
who really shouldn’t be there.

On the plus side, Hiland Doolit-
tle, who was the ace of the mound
staff last year, looks like he’ll be
fairly steady once again for State.
Quinn and he counld spell a rather
respectable 1-2 punch to solve
some of the pitching problems.

fact, it looked as if Coach Bur-
lingame might have to rub two
bats together to get something
going. At least it would give him
something to do.

But getting back to bright spots,
Albany did do its damage of the
season to the tune of seven runs,

The squad is capitalizing on these
opportunities and consequently

is needed in order to make good

This win, according to Schief-
felin, “showed the team that they
can play top caliber soccer teams
and win.” Victories like this one,
early in the season, not only add
up in the win column, but also
add to the pride and confidence
of the squad.

Coach Schieffelin has stated that
no one man can be singled out in
accounting for the team’s success
thus far. He credits the fine play
of senior captain Joel Volinski
and freshman Bruce Ackerman on
defense and Nick Ascienzo and
transfer Fred Campbell at half-
back as being instrumental in the
team’s two victories to date. He
especially commended Campbell
on completely controlling the

vital areas in a soccer game.

20-—50—53
by Bob Familant

The Great Dane Cross Country
team entertained the Coast Guard
and Montclair State Saturday in
their first triangular meet; the
Danes were very poor hosts.
Coach Bob Munsey’s ‘Guts Men’
scored an impressive 25-50-53 vic-
tory. Second place Coast Guard
came into the meet with an over-
all 35-1 record for the past two
years. Small consolation for Mont-
clair was that their premier run-
ner, Victor Mizzone, placed first.
He was one of only two Montclair
runners in the top ten while State
placed there five top runners with-
in the first eight finishers. The
lead runner for State was Junior
Dennis Hackett who finished 3rd,
a mere half stride behind second
place finisher, Joe Estes of the
Coast Guard. Albany then fin-
ished fifth through eighth with
Pat Gepfert, Nick Demarco, John
Koch, and John Stanton taking
those places respectively. Stanton
received Coach Munsey’s ‘runner
of the meet’ honors as he passed
four runners in the last 1 1/2
miles to clinch fifth place and ice
the victory.

The temperature was in the high
80’s and the humidity was thick
enough to cut with a knife as the
34 starters started out on the five
mile race. Eight runners were
forted to drop out including one
Coast Guard runner who had to
be hospitalized for heat exhaust-
ion.

The victory brings State’s record
to 3-0. Their first victory was a
thrashing of Clarkson 15-49. In
the meet, State placed runners in
the first six places, with Pat Gep-
fert and Dennis Hackett finishing
in a tie for first place. ‘Runner of

State Loses RPI Scrimmage; Gains Experience

Early Fumbles
Proved Costly

by Mike Piechowicz

The Albany State Football Club
met its first opponent on a foot-
ball field Friday, in a pre-season
scrimmage with the R.P.I. fresh-
man squad. R.P.I. outscored the
Great Danes, 26-12.

The curious. onlookers who
filled the bleachers and dotted the
hillside were treated to an early
glimpse of the team that will carry
their colors in thefall. Overall the
Danes appeared shaky and uncer-
tain of themselves, but they had
their moments of glory as well.
The defensive “miniline” met
with the solid approval of the
onlookers when it repeatedly
threw back R.P.I. rushes. Forced
to turn to the air, however, the
R.P.I. offense began to roll. Al-
bany’s offense, on the other hand,
spent part of the afternoon trying
to hold onto the football, al-
though the situation seemed to be
remedied to an extent in the
second half.

R.P.I. scored the first time they
got the ball. They bobbled the
kick-off on their goal line, and for
a minute it looked as if Albany
State would get an early break.
The ball carrier recovered, how-
ever, and the Engineers started
from their eighteen yard line. The
first two plays from scrimmage
were unsuccessful rushes into the
left side of the Albany line. Faced
with a third down and eight situa-
tion, the R.P.I. quarterback faked
a hand-off into the line and rifled
a pass over the right side. When
the play was whistled dead, the

then held to the fourth down,
when another pass was good for a
first down at the State thirty.
Eight plays and two completed
passes later, the score stood six to
nothing in favor of the visitors,
With a somewhat less than auspi-
cious start behind the defense, the
offensive unit took the field with
the ball on its thirty-two yard line
following the kick-off. The first
play from scrimmage was a hand-
off from quarterback Bill Flana-
gan to Bernie Boggs, that looked
good, but went nowhere. The
second play signalled the end for

Sports Hash

Priorities, a sense of values, are an important part of our existance.
They come into play in the allotment of our time, our energies, and
our monies. Obviously, the rational way of deciding just how we will
divide these things is determined by how much good we can, in fact,
do. It follows that we try to achieve the most with what we have.

Albany State has endeavored to run a fine mens intramural
program. Every conceivable sport is made available to the university
community—from football to badminton; from squash to volleyball.
A concerted attempt is made to provide competent officiating. AMLA
is also well aware that superlative performances deserve recognition
and thus rewards winners with trophies and medals. AMIA, in its
desire to be innovative, has attempted to keep abreast of current
Procedures and methods by belonging to the National Intramural
Association for the past ten years. In short, AMIA understands its role
at the university and consequently has tried to provide an atheletic
and recreational outlet for those men who have neither the time nor
the expertise to compete on the varsity level.

AMIA will cater to 3,300 men during the 1970-71 year. The Torch,
the Albany Student Press, WSUA and University Concert Board are
the only organizations that realistically reach more people. It is here
that priorities take hold. Central Council has appropriated only
$2,000 to AMIA. In their proposed budget, AMIA has made a
Conservative estimate of $3,500 for officials alone (this being their
foremost expenditure). In total, they have asked for $4,270.00. This
may seem like an unduly large sum yet it actually comes to only a
little over a dollar per man. The appropriation by Central council
comes to approximately 50 cents per man. These figures bring the
problem into perspective. It is impossible to run the type of program
which this university needs on so little money.

It seems in any type of administration, if something is important
enough — if something has to get done — the money can always be
found. It is obvious that the Association of Men’s Intramural Athletics
offers a very great opportunity to many inhabitants of this university.
If we look at this problem objectively, we can readily see that such an
organization must not be denied what it needs to exist. To those of
you who benefit from this program, it can only be siad that you
should make yourself heard. If this situation is not remedied, the
result will be a very meager excuse for intramural atheletics.

Louis T. Benezet:
The Man, The Issues

by J. Stephen Flavin
An ASP Feature

“When things get out of control,
do you let disruptions and
violence go through? Or, do you
haul things into line?”

A rhetorical question? Louis T.
Benezet may someday have to
answer his own question.
President of the State University
of New York at Albany since July
1, 1970, Dr. Benezet approaches
the $38,000 a year post with
nearly 30 years of administrative
experience.

“To use off-campus police to
quell disruptions would be an
extreme measure, an admission of
defeat...defeat for the entire uni-
versity community. Students have
the right to demonstrate
peacefully, to communicate, and I
am ready anytime to meet with
sincere students.”

“Students’ rights to privacy
must be respected. This adminis-
tration will not hound studerits to
act as informers. Resident Assis-
tants, Deans, people over whom I
have control will respect others’
rights and our employees will

respect a ‘no-knock’ policy on this
campus.”

“Drugs bother me. The use of
narcotics, including marijuana, is
still a felony and can’t be passed
off lightly. It’s not so much the
indulgence, but the dependence
upon drugs to escape reality.” The
dependence on some drugs is en-
slaving and a hindrance to con-
structive problem solving. “If the
use of drugs comes to the
attention of the administration
and authorities, we can’t look the
other way and they have to act. I
can’t tell the outside authorities
what to do, but I would be
disturbed by an outside raid.”

To maintain order within the
university community, Dr.
Benezet feels that channels of
communication must remain
open, open to all individuals or
groups on every rung of the uni-
versity’s hierarchy. He intends to
exchange information every other
week in an open forum. :

“No man can know all. I am not
the one calling all the shots. Presi-
dent’s press conferences tend to
magnify the role of the president

Middle East Forum
Ends in Heated Debate

by Jerry Price

Although the Middle East is in
complete turmoil, therd are in-
dications that Jews and Arabs can
coexist peacefully if not work
together for common goals.

There are still grave problems in
this part of the world that may
very will worsen and this was
brought out by the forum on
Middle East troubles held last
night. The Forum was initiated
by the May Ist Student Strike
Committee in an attempt to air
conflicting views on the con-
troversial subject.

Bashir Khadra spoke convin-
cingly as a Palestinian whose own
family was thrown out of what is
now Israel by Israeli authorities.
Mr. Khadra denounced the state
of Israel as “an expansionist and
imperial nation.” He felt that
most of the Palestinians not only
found themselves homeless, but
also found themselves totally
humiliated and at a loss as to
hat to do next.

Sami Khasawinah spoke briefly
from the point of view of a native
Jordanian. He was horrified at the
refugee living conditions that he
encountered. There is no doubt,
according to the speaker, that it

was not a question of civil war.
sympathized
with the Palestinian cause. King

Most Jordanians

The greatest portion of the
forum was spent in question and
answer fashion. Zionists confront:
ed the Arab speakers with a mul-
titude of questions. Why did
Arabs terrorize the Jews who
settled in Palestine before the
state of Israel was even in exis-
tence? Specific instances were
cited beginning with 1922 and
continuing through 1937.

“ Some people were concerned
with the question of who had the
first and best claim to the land of
Palestine. A few individuals in the
audience cited the Old Testament
as proof that the Jews were pro-
mised the land in question. It
should be noted, though, that the
Old Testament makes mention of
the fact that the ancient Hebrews
conquered the Caananites, the
original inhabitants. The speakers
tried to explain that they as,
Arabs were actually descended
from the Canaanites, Philistines,
and other ancient tribes. “Arab”

is a cultural term, they pointed
out~not a description of a race of
people.

—-rosenberg

and not the roles of other key
administrators. Top men in the
administration may know more in
their respective fields than I could
ever know. We must be ready to
speak on policy, for what we
think is related to what will
happen.”

“Weekly converences are too
confining, redundant. Every other
week, I and other men in the
administration will be regularly
available in an open forum to
exchange ideas, discuss problems
and to let out air pressures. I'll
take my raps; I don’t like to send
someone else. The forums are not
likely to be disappointing.

“Members of the university
must define our own goals. We
must use student powers and
faculty powers more effectively.
Granted, there will be disa-
greements, but we must agree ona
reasonable order of priorities, and
complete them.”

New Security Head Sought

Continued from page 1

search panel consisting of two
undergraduates, one graduate stu-
dent, three administrators and
two faculty members. The board,
as it stands now, is composed of
David Anderson (the graduate
student), Sorrell Chesin, Seth
Spellman, Robert Stierer, Regis
Devel, Torin Baritz, Joe Kaiser,
and Jeff Wasserman.

The question of membership led
to some early disagreements.
Originally, no undergraduates
were included. In fact, the board
operated for over a month and
passed through about one-third of
the applications on this basis.

President Benezet came on the
scene and pushed for undergra-
duate representation, acting on
the request of the president and
vice-president of Student
Association.

One administrator
cular—Dr. Milton
opposed to the move. As
Vice-President for Management
and Planning he is second only to
the President of the University as
far as running security is con-
cerned.

Benezet, however, had final say
and the committee recessed for a
month until undergraduates re-
turned for the fall semester.

By the time this recess occurred,
judgment had been passed on
about thirty applicants.

Since undergraduates were
added, the board has met three
times and has rated about one-half
of the eighty to ninety applicants.
An “A” rating means the candi-
date receives an interview. “B”
indicates further research is neces-
sary before an interview will be
granted. A “C” rating is tanta-
mount to a rejection.

Sources indicate the highest
rated candidates thus far have
been armed forces veterans, espe-
cially those of Southeast Asia
with histories in military research
and intelligence operations.
Twenty to twenty-five years of
such experience seems to be the
average.

Nevertheless such experience is
not a necessary prerequisite. The
only specific qualification for the

job, according to Central Admini-

: stration guidelines, is a two-year

college degree.

The search board met on its own
and upped the requirement to
four years. This action was taken
before the inclusion of undergra-
duates.

Student government leaders,
appraising the entire security
situation, offer the following as
areas of concern:

—Had it not been for the direct
intervention of President Benezet,
the make-up of the search board
would have been markedly conser-
vative, and without undergraduate
representation.

—As it is, some of the more
liberal members are complaining
of problems in notification. In
one case, a secretary misplaced a
student’s telephone number and
he was not notified of a meeting.
Another student was notified of
the same meeting one and one-
half hours after it began. “I would
say that the administration is not
insuring proper notification of all
members,” was the way one mem-
ber phrased it.

—As security chief, James
Connally opposed the keeping of
name and picture files of student
activists. This has brought him
into conflict with administrators
in the past. Will this policy change
under a director who has a history
of military intelligence?

A Counterbalance

To counterbalance these sup-
posed “threats,” Central Council
has, over the past two weeks,
passed two bills.

The first dealt with the
establishment of a review agency
to oversee security operations. It
was introduced by Student Asso-
ciation President Dave Neufeld’s
cabinet.

Neufeld himself introduced a
bill at the last council session
calling for an “ad hoc committee
on student security,” which
would investigate “sources of

imminent threats to students’ per-
sons, individual liberties and
property.” The whole question of
student files would come under
this committee’s jurisdiction.

So far, there has been no
administrative reaction.

The amount of concern ex-
pressed seems warranted since
trends are already apparent at
two of Albany’s sister schools.

The Stony Brook student news-
paper, The Statesman, reported
that a letter was sent from the
Office of the Executive Vice
President to an officer in the army
military police asking for the
names of qualified, retired mili-
tary policemen who might be
interested in the director’s post at
Stony Brook.

And at SUNY Buffalo, President
Robert Ketter recently announced
the appointment of Kenneth P.
Glennon as security chief.

“Mr. Glennon’s background and
qualifications are uniquely suited
to solving the special problems of
security on our (the U.B) cam-
pus,” Ketter said in making the
appointment.

Dr. Ketter did not mention that
Glennon’s “background and quali-
fications” include 31 years of
service (1938 to 1969) with the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
