Danes Rise in Polls, Face Easy Task Tomorrow
by Les Zuckerman
Albany State travels to
Plaituburgh tomorrow to face an op~
ponent than can hardly be called im-
pressive, The Great Danescomeinto
this game alter their finest offensive
showing of the season.
Last week against Curry, Albany
dominated the second half both
clfensively and defensively. After
this kind of victory against a tough
school, one can only imagine what
the Danes will do to a lowly oppo-
nent,

tuzi having probably his best game

also had impressive games at Curry.
Griffin rushed for 115 yards in five

Jor hisexcellent play-calling last
Saturday. The quarterback com-
pleted 21 passes and the Albany
defensive secondary was unable to
defend itself, All of Fair's com-
pietions were short yardage losses,
as the Danes did not allow him to
throw deep.
The Danes exited from their 50-23

injuries, Olfensive tacklé Dom Ron-

Schieffelin continued, “our final
record is 7-5-1, but when you con-
sider our 50-1 record after six
‘gumes, und the fact that this season's
schedule was not nearly as tough as
last year's, the final record is very
mediocre, We thought that we had a
great deal more talent this year, but
we really did not improve on last
season's 8-5 mark.”
“We played two seasons,

season was successful, but the se-

Scoring problems began to plague

team’s leading scorer, with six goals,

part of the season, 'heonly other
player to score more than one goal

times late in the season. Last year’s

“Our primary problems were a

physical punishment to score a

“Perhaps success came « little too

He was referring to the offensive
capability of the Danes.
Plattsburgh, the opponent
tomorrow, is 2-5 on the season.
Vheir problem so far has been a lack
of offense. The team cannot sustain a
scoring drive. The defense is on the

Soc Department Chairman
Faces Reappointment Turmoil
by Bob Mayer 3
“The whole thing is about to blow
up. Either the administration makes
a decision now or they are going to
spend the rest of the decade picking
up the pieces.” The faculty member
did not want to be quoted by name,
but summed up the overriding senti-
ment of the Sociology Department,
that Chairman Ray Forer must not
have his position as chairman renew-
ed.
The faculty had been informed
that a decision on Forer's renewal as
chairman would come by November
|, but, Vice President for Academic
Affairs Philip Sirotkin claims that
was not the case, “There will be no
decisions until after the external
review committee hands in their
report.” He said that such a report
would be released in the middle of
next semester.

In 1939, James Lee Morgan
entered Hobart College in Geneva, to
New York, asa freshman. He was
studying to be a priest, This
December, 1974, he will graduate
with sequences in Economics, Art,
Sociology, and Foreign Language.
What happened in the interim?
“In my junior year, 1 was drafted
into the Army. 1 served four years
and two months. 1 regretted leaving
Hobart because 1 was doing well in
my studiesand | wanted tofinishand
get my degree,* Morgan explains.
“But at war's end, Idid not have the
money to go back to school, so I got
a job as an electrician.”
Morgan worked his way up asa
Union Electrician until 1954 when he
purchased the company he worked
for, the W.W. Gettys Electrical
Company which operates in the

The same off election victories that tightened
their grip on Congress and the nation's biggest states
confronted Democrats with a situation in which they
must now produce on the pivotal issues of inflation and
recession.

Behind the typical law firm title
“Rosenblum and Leventhal,” works
an energetic woman attorney Linda
Leventhal. “I love every minute of
my work with students,” she says,
her voice resounding with
enthusiasm on a rainy, Monday
morning, She settles back in abrown
leather chair in her small office, a
toy-like, humorous statuette with
the caption “Sue the Bastard” sitting
atop her desk.
“We're a firm of lawyers ranging
Jn ages from 28-36," Leventhal, an
‘Albany Law Schoo! graduate, says
of herself and her four male
colleagues who are retained by the
Student Association to provide free
legal advice to university students.
“We're young enough to relateto the
students and really understand their
problems.”
The S.A. lawyers offer free office
or telephone consultation for
students from8 a.m. to 6 p.m. week-
ly. Sanford Rosenblum holds office
on campus every Tuesday night,and

private practices.
Landlord Complaints
The most common student com-
plaint Leventhal receives is against
landlords. “When a student calls, the
first thing I'll ask him is, ‘Who's your
landlord?’ I've come to know the
good ones and the bad ones,” she
says. Most students call Leventhal
for advice on breaking leases and
SA Lawyer Leventhal Handles Landlord Complaints
pressuring landlords to make needed
‘repairs in apartments,
Because of the large number of
student complaints, Leventhal does
not represent students in court. “It
‘would be impractical todefend every
student,” she says, “In cases where
one student complains about
another, how does one defend both
students in court?” she questions. “I
advise a student on how to initiate a
legal action or defend himself
inst one." Leventhal also
arranges bail for any student who
has been arrested.
“Students win the most cases in
small claims courts,” Leventhal con-
tinues, her eyes wide with interest
from behind gray tinted glasses. “Ifa

jacket, I'll advise him to file his own
suit and prepare a defense, The
process is simple in small claims
court because no rules of evidence
exist, It's satisfying for the student to
see justice at work,"
Each student lawyer is both a
general practitioner and a specialist
“We're all uniquely qualified,” she
quips. While Rosenblum deals with
criminal caves, Leventhal specializes
in domestic relationships, par-
ticularly divorces, separations, and
child custody.
“Divorce caves are nerve racking
but interesting

many men ask for my help too. 1
think they see me as a mother im-
age,’
“A lawyer's first obligation in a
divorce case is to try to save the
marriage,” Leventhal says, herjovial
expression becoming serious. “I've
had many cases where all it took was
alittle bit of talking between the hus-
band and the wife to end the divorce
proceedings. If counsel fails, a
lawyer is then responsible for mak-
ing an equitable settlement.”
She pauses, thinks, and identifies
another area that poses legal tangles
for the student: the Telephone Com-
pany. Five years ago, twenty five
telephones on campus were acciden-
tally tied up to the university
switchboard, The students using
these phones were not being billed
for their calls, and took advantage of
the situation by calling such places as
outh America. At the end of the
year, the telephone company dis-
covered their mistake and sent out
bills of $800 and $1000. “The
students were legally bound to pay.”
she said
A coughing spell interrupts
Leventhal, so she sips water from a
little dixie cup. Unperturbed, she
continues, “If a person moves out of
his suite or apartment without pay-
ing his share of the telephone bill, he
other inhabitants are responsible for
total ment, It's like a
partnership.”
Leventhal finds it most difficult to
give legal advice in cases of motor
vehicle violations, “It's simply the
student's word against the
policeman’s.”
Working amongall males presents
few problems, says Leventhal who is
single, “I find they treat me as a
woman and us an equal, yet they
recognize my unique problems. They

a Furor over Forer |
Because of the actions of its chairman, the Sociology Department is coming apart at
the seams, The controversy building within the department threatens to tear its foun-
dations away due primarily to intense intra-departmental dislike-for Ray Forer the
Department Chairman, The situation in the department can only grow worse, unless
President Benezet decides to begin the search for anew chairman. Thealready crippled
department is trying to bind itself together—at least until after the State Education
Department sends in its scholars to rate the department. Students do not need to be
strung along for the ride by, the Administration which appears to be waiting until at
least January before committing itself and the University to another three year
renewal. Come January they will probably re-appoint this man who has shown a
record of intimidation and abuse of his firing powers by eliminating thoe who speak
out against him. “ :
Forer admits he may have been in error in some of his past actions. “Perhaps my
wording was a bit harsh in some cases. I would apologize for that, but Ido not think the
substance of anything I said was in error.” He was referring to several letters of
transmittal to the Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointments in which he
stooped to personal insults against people who were up for either tenure or promotion.
He has put at least one letter of apology into one department member's file, but this
name-calling indicates an unprofessional manner (at best) in approaching his job.
Department members feel more than uncomfortable around the man. Forerpins the
blame for this attitude on four tenured faculty who are out to “get him.” But itappears
that more than simply those four are opposed to what has been described as his
“ruthless” tactics, The problem is that the junior faculty members do not want to say
anything, for fear of being denied tenure, and the graduate students are afraid to open-
ly criticize the man, for fear that their degrees will be jeopardized. Six junior faculty
members once criticized Forer for not allowing them to participate in the selection
process for a new chairman, Not one of these six is now teaching at SUNY A; all were
subsequently denied reappointment, before they even reached tenure review,
By no means is the administration clean in this whole affair, The name of Sirotkin
and Kendall continually reappear wherever there is a question of denial of a faculty
member's academic rights, In this case, Sirotkin, ignored protests by senior faculty
members over the way the department was being run. They did not listen to grievances
by faculty who complained about treatment within the department.
The situation within this department is in some respects akin to that of other
departments, but other departments do not have the chairman, who some feel may not
be able to get tenure at another university. They do not have a chairman who uses in-
timidation and coercion to make people agree to his policies. They do not havea chair-
man who is afraid of anyone who he thinks could look better than him in an evaluation.
They do not havea chairman who openly admits he does not know the new methods in
his: discipline.
{t is now up to the administration. Will they keep this man who uses phrases like a
“caricature of an academic” to describe his colleagues. Will they continue to condone
the actions, merely because the power of the chairmanship is behind him, or will they
seck someone new, someone else from the department, who could come in with a
strong background, someone who could remedy the battered department and con-
struct one that does not have to spend time rebutting accusations their chairman
makes?
‘The answer to those questions is self-evident. The ad ministration - President Benezet
and Vice-President Sirotkin - must decide to deny reappointment, But this is not
enough, they must also account for their failure to respond to complaints from faculty
members, complaints voiced three years ago and longer.
Post Script
It is curious that in light of the trauma of Watergate, due in great part to the efforts at
its cover-up, that the administration would take such great pains to conceal discontent
within its walls, Surely it is no great crime to admit that some administrative and
academic appointments were made in haste, or turned out unsuccessfully. It would be
too much to ask of anyone that every decision be the right one. The cloud of suspicion
only arises at overt attempts to hide the facts, to cover-up.

Chances Are Things Could Change
The Democratic Party is now firmly en-
trenched in power on the federal level of
government, It is interesting to attempt some
predictions of how the party will dissipate its
advantage by 1976.
It isa simple truth of our two party system
that fortunes rise and fall with each turn of
events, What appears to bean invincible front
of Democrats might easily crumble in a
ively short period of ime, What are some
of the possibilities?
1. The Democrats could proceed on the
assumption that this year’s elections were a
sweeping mandate for them, instead of the
truth; that Americans have merely repudiated
the Republican party. Perhaps repudiate is
too harsh a term; reprimand is perhaps more
applicable. Anyway, the Democrats may be
tempted by circunstanees to nominate a man
such as George MeGavern, someone with a
limited appeal, for the Presidency again, He
Proved his inexperience with some un-
believable campaign blunders in 1972, and by
emphasizing some possible legislation that
was altucked mercilessly and successfully by
Richard Nixon and other Republicans,
The point is, though, that a weak
Democratic nominee would quite possibly
lengthen the coattails of the Republican, and
at the very Jewst, reduce the Democrats’
holdings to a figure well below the over two
thirds of the seats they now control, Inciden-
tally, with Ted Kennedy out of the race, none
of the present aspirants for the nomination
seem overly dangerous to President Ford,
2, Ford could see his economic policies bear
fruit in the form of reduced unemployment
and a reasonably lessened rate of inflation, If
his programs follow the plan, noticeable ime
Provement will occur sometime in late 1975 or
early 1976,
Of course, that timing is excel

matter how loud the Democratic attempts at
taking credit for it, it will almost certainly be
the President, and

prestige can safely be translated into adh

CBS Elections News Correspondent
Linda Ellerby gave in to the little man's
harried attempts to move herearring to
a point dead centeron herlelt earlobe.
That was the extent of the “lest run.”
It couldn't progress fo her right ear
because Ramsey Clark, with his elec-
tion eve hopes not yet worn down by
discouraging results, came in and stole
the show.
After things quieted down again
among the Clark supporters gathered
in the Commodore Hotel's Windsor
Room in New York, Ms. Ellerby said:
“The network producers all knew
when Clark was coming oul. It was
planned that way so that all three
network cameras could get an ideal
angle. The three major networks get
together, but when minor newspapers
and student newspapers come it is a
push and a shove. | much prefer
covering fires. This is more hassle than
excitement.
To others, waiting for the final tallies
at the Commodore Hotel's Democratic
headquarters and at the Republican
enclave in the nearby Roosevelt Hotel,
the hassle was the excitement.
Broadcasters, reporters, bartenders,
actors, employees, mothers, children,
candidates, mothers of candidates,
sisters of candidates, children of
candidates, neighbors of candidates,
priests, Hasidic Jews, foremen, bums,
waiters, Pinkertons, students,
supporters and friends were
celebrating, crying, playing, singing,
jitlerbugging, arguing, screaming,
writing, drinking, acting, praying and
applauding. One woman slopped to
realize that she couldn't remember
who ran against Rockeleller last tin
but for many the celebration blurred
out political consciousness.
It was street theatre, the movies,
Broadway and television all crammed
into four large rooms in two hotels and
spilling out into the surrounding halls,
elevators, lobbies and suites. The city,
ilsell was inflected. Some who didn't
make it into midtown still managed to
geton the six o'clock news by showing
up at their favorite de nt store's
election day sale. Those al home could
watch it all and when the program
switched to Waller Cronkite

supporters had lashioned a patchwork

also signs like, "We were Number One

John Johnson, a member of the
Eyewitness News Team, in Clark
headquarters, wasn't much better. His
long arms served him well as he
pushed ASP Associate News Editor,
Mike Sena, out of his key place next to
Ramsey Clark, leaving Mike only with
fantasies that went like this:
“I went over to him later and said,
You know Mister Johnson that was a
really bad thing you did, pushing me
like that!"
‘Ym sorry son, Come up and see me
any time and /'ll give you a job.’ "
The street theatre, which took place
inside, was more real. The observers
became the participants and at times
they outdid the originals.
Carey, while giving his acceptance
was rivaled and, at times,
successtully upstaged by a gloriously
drunk, beaming, beautiful, Irish
compatriot with while hair, a red Jace
and blue eyes more striking than
anything ever seen on television, He
had been singing and dancing and
leading the "We want Carey. WE
WANT CAREY.” chants all evening.
Now that he had gotten what he
wanted he took the victory personally.
While Carey spoke he cheered so
frantically it was a wonder the Dillon,
Carey and “Take an Irishman to

his while suit didn't come rolling off

Street theatre knew no bounds, At

jam packed with drunk, laughing
people throwing out invitations to
parties on every floor and
accomodatingly trying to squeeze inas
many celebrants as possible. It
became evident that the only way up
or down was the stairs..until someone
discovered the freight elevators, That

the elevators just in time to heara man

With the losers the ending wasn't
quite as happy.

“Nah, he'll never do it.”
“!m gonna hatfta buy 4 shotgun."
“Yeah, we're all gonna: haffta buy

And we, as ASP reporters planted in
the middle of these scenes to do or die
were part of the show, be it comedy or
tragedy. We tasted wine in the

and frustrated by our inability to find

thought we were real journalists).

“I don't know...”

was easy lo know. The subway token
didn’t {it in the slot and it was a bleary-
eyed search to find a turnstile that
wasn't broken. Thoughts of promises
made by former politicians in former
campaigns, promises to get drunks olf
the streets and into homes, promises to
fix up public transportation, all came to
mind and blended with the
acceptance speeches of the night

FW, the boycott, Teamsters, growers and Gallo...
The struggles of the United Farm|
Workers union (UFW) with growers,
wineries and; more recently, the|
Teamsters Union are, at the very least,
extremely confusing. In essence,
the UFW accuses the growers and the
‘Teamsters of working together to take
full control of the farmworkers and
the grape and lettuce industries,
They claim they are the only ones}
who are truly concerned about the
farmworkers. The teamsters claim
Jthat the farmworkers have chosen
themd the growers agree. The]
UFW boycotts have been called to}
force the growers to reject their|
‘Teamsters contracts and sign with the
UFW. No one denies that the
farmworkers are far better off today|
than they ever were, with some of the}
greatost gains taking place since the|
Teamsters began holding the con-
tracts. But while the Teamsters take!
credit for these gains, the UFW would|
probably have been able to get the|
fame concessions from the]
growers, What the farmworkers|
really want is not clear, They voted!
overwhelmingly for the Teamsters,
but the UFW points out that many off
the elections were not by normall
ballot. They were based on a system|
where each worker gives a card to a|
representative who counts it; he is in-
directly chosen by the employer.

UFW VERSION
From April 17, 1967 - April 18,
1973
The United Farm Workers Union,
AFL-CIO was the exclusive
bargaining agent for all Gallo
Winery, E & J agricultural
employees. With the signing of the
first contract, conditions drastically
changed. Wages increased,
bathroom facilities and fresh drink-
ing water were present in the fields,
child labor came to an end,
dangerous pesticides were closely
supervised, and there was es-
tablished a Union hiring hall with
the consequent elimination of the
hated labor contract system which
brutalized and humiliated work
The Hiring Hall established hirin:
on the basis of seniority and gave
workers for the first time, job securi-
ty.
April, 1970
Gallo renewed this first contract for
an additional three years. The new
contract provided for increased
wages and additional benefits. The
Robert F. Kennedy plan gave
workers their first medical in-
surance coverage, As Ranch Com-
mittees became more active,
workers became increasingly more
involved in matters related to the
Union.
GALLO VERSION

After verification of the signature:
it was found that a majority of the
farm workers had signed cards say-
ing they wanted to be represented
by the UFW. Gallo thereupon

this meeting, Gallo pointed out that
the union still had not submitted its

previous bleven (11) meetings, the
company had demonstrated con-
siderable flexibility in their position
on all resolved and unresolved
issues. Yet the union to date had
failed to indicate any flexibility in
their position on several key items,
including Hiring Hall and Union
Discipline, which Gallo wanted to
conform with N.L.R.A. re-
quirements.
June 25, 1973
A letter from the Western Con-
ference of Teamsters was delivered
toGalloclaiming that the Teamsters
represented the majority of Gallo
farm workers, and asking for a
meeting to prove this claim.
June 27, 1973
Before a meeting could be held to
verify or disprove the Teamsters’
claim, the UFW established a picket
line at the Gallo vineyards. Since
the UFW had been soliciting signed
cards from Gallo farm workers for at
least a month, it could have proven
its majority status, if it really
represented a majority of Gallo
farm workers, by presenting its
signed cards to Gallo. It did not do
80.
July 6, 1973
Alter verifying signatures on the
petitions submitted by the
Teamsters against payroll records,
it was determined that a majority of
all Gallo farm workers (including
those who went on strike June 27th)
had requested that the Teamsters be
their collective bargaining agent.
The teamsters submitted proof of
majority preference; and the UFW
evidently had not been able to ob-
tain such prool, It was obvious that
neither union would agree to the
ground rules for an impartially
supervised election, or agree to
give up the light if they lost the elec
tion. In the absence of any legal
mechanism to require both unions
to agree on an election procedure,
and to be bound by its result, Gallo
had to make the verilication against
personnel and payroll records. Asa
result, a letter was sent to Gallofarm
workers stating that Gallo would
recognize the Teamsters as the
bargaining agent for Gallo farm
workers and negotiations would
commence
July 8, 9, & 10, 1973
Negotiations commenced the mor-
ning of July 8th, continued July 9th,
and an agreement was concluded
on July 10th. Included on the
Teamsters’ negotiating committee
were four Gallo farm workers
(formerly UFW members), The con-
tract was ralilied by an overwhelm-
ing majority of the farm workers.
Background ss
The UFW points out that the Wagner
Act of 1935, a bill which outlined un-
ion .tights, excluded agricultural
workers. The UFW cites: grower
pressure and they're right.
However, the Wagner Act was
radical; it changed the New Deal
legislation which the Supreme Court
said was unconstitutional so that it was.
constitutional. But there was a great
deal of concem about the working
man, and the bill passed only because
it did exclude agricultural workers,
Many congressmen, especially from
the South, would vote “no” otherwise.
The years went by, and by the end of
World War Il, unions were a powerful
force in the United States. Their power
was so great that businesses felt
threatened, and in 1948 Congress
passed the Taft-Hartley Act which out-
lawed certain “unfair” labor practices.
They included secondary boycotts and
strikes and boycotts based on jurisdic-
tional disputes,
The farmworkers never got organiz-
ed and thus didn't grow as the other
unions did. The Talt-Hartley Act
limited“ unions alter they were es-
tablished and powerlul, but those limits
made it extremely difficult for the
farmworkers lo get organized. They
had always been ignored by the major
unions, since they were very dillicull to
organize. For example, there can only
be one or two entrances to a lactory.
Pickets can easily block the entrance.
Farms can be reached in almost any
direction and at any point. This is a
problem the UFW olen faced. They
would sel up pickels in two or three
places, but scabs could still be brought
in af other places,
Chavez’ UFW grew, due mostly to
their own ellorts but their elforts would
have failed without the large amount of
financial and moral supporl they
received from the AFL-CIO.
The UFW lorced elections, forced
growers to sign contracts, and in-
ed pay. They found the growers

A young boy’ dream and nights of sleeplessnesson the eveof his Bar Mitzvah
may not seem to be of any importance either to him or his rabbi as long as his
voice is clear and his prayer is deep, but to Hal Malmud something was deeply
important in them—something which lasted longer than a day in the synagogue
and that was stronger than his voice as he recited from the Torah.
As] ait in Hal's roomon the 20th floor of Eastman Tower on a Friday night in late
September, the reason becomes obvious to me. Hal's long blondish hair is tied up
in braids and a feather is meticulously placed in one of them. A lead eagle
medallion accompanies some beads in circling his neck. As his eyes peer out of
the valley between his cheekbones and his brow I become a bit uneasy. I look
about his-room which is not unlike any other students room (or, more precisely
any other R.A.'s room) in that it contains an overflow of posters placedon the dull
white of the walls, and it has a stereo, records and textbooks.
But there is a difference. On the turntable is a record with chants in a foreign
tongue, cn the walls are pictures of proud and crinkly old men and women with
long black hair and brilliant scenery behind them, and in his bookshelves are
books half from his Chinese language and literature classes (where I first met Hal)
and haif ih'fulfillment of the dream which he has maintained since his 13th birth-
day and His day in the synagogue. In fact Hal's dream is more alive today than 7
years ago; itis the modern rebirth of the dream if his grandfather, and his grand-
father's peéople~the Cherokee.
While dn his father's side Hal is descended froma long line of Russian Jews, itis
his mother's father who has the profoundest influence upon him. His mother's
grand{atherwas one of many Cherokees who were forcibly evicted from their
native lands in the Southeastern United States in the 1830's. He and 15,000
others of his people travelled what was called the "Trail of Tears"; a long overland
trek toOklahoma. The tribe was nearly shattered by this, Ittook the 6,000 people
who lived many years fo regain their spirit.
Hal Malmud’s one desire is to "be adopted by a tribe; it may notbe a Cherokee
but other Indians can adopt you into their social order as a brother.”
Hal leans back on his dormitory bed and begins to talk. The lights of the city of
Albany shine through into his room. From a few flights below us, perhaps on the
17th or 18th floor music is filtering through. The music is loud but it begins to fade
out in my mind as Hal talksof the actual dream he had when he was 13—the very
same age when an Indian youth is supposed to go on a “vision quest"—4 daysof
fasting and prayer until he learns of his true spirit. Seven years later when hedid
go on a vision quest, a similar vision came to tell him of his destiny.
“In the dream [ was walking through a forest, kind of wandering through it. The
forest was dark and had the smell of deacy anddeath. In the darkness I stumbled
over 4 fallen log; a chipmunk came over to ask me if I was hurt. I said no.
“As Ibegan tostand up many more animals came to see me. There was a deer,
a bear, a fox and a snake. As I looked at each animal all the movements of the
animal came tome. Thatis, as! looked at the snake I could see it crawling and lay-
ing eggs, when | saw the bear I could see it catching fish and crawling intoa cave,
and the same with the other animals.
“[ used to think that an animal can’t talk and an animal has no feeling or per-
sonality but as I looked at each animal and the movements came to me I saw that
this was wrong,
“The darkness started fading in the forest and | began to feel comfortable with
them although I can’t explain why. [ had a feeling of comfort in a group, of
balance and security. Although the dawn came | couldn't see the sky. The
animals told me that there was another world with a sky and trees outside of
where we were. | asked them if they could take me there and they said no.
"I began {o feel lost, that everything I ahd ever experienced was nil and |
started crying—until all the animals started crying along with me.
"Then | heard a voice, saying ‘Don’t cry little one.’
“And I looked up to the sky to see an eagle.
‘Just spread your wings and fly.’ :
“And the next thing I knew | was above the trees next to an eagle with white
markings on its head and wings. The eagle flew with me fora while and then left
me alone saying—
"You are an eagle and others will look to you for : strength.’. And then my
father woke me up and told me it was time togo to Synagogue."
This summer Hal took a bus out to Arizona to study Political Science at Arizona
State University at Tempe. The course was "Revolution and the Social System”
but what really attracted him was not political science (or his other major,
Chinese) but the earlh—
“Out there they said you could hear the earth speak. | felt that the earth was
calling me out there. [ had originally planned on going toschool, work fora while
and then split, But [couldn't take it. [decided totry and geton the Navajo reserva-
tion, which’ {s really a big one, but they wouldn't accept me.
“| dropped the course and hitchhiked to Flagstaff where | happened to meet
two other Indians who took me to where they lived near Jerome (a large aban-
doned copper mining town.)
“I used to have the feeling before the summer that I would never take
hallucinogens but with these two friends | felt different. One of them I believe was
a member of the Native American Church (forwhomitis legal to use peyote). We
would take 4 buttons each time.
“I am notaware of the procedure but we did follow some ritual. We would sit
around in a circle in a dimly lit room with a drum and sing.
“Peyote made me feel as if I was in the earth. I'd move my legs and feel asif the
earth moved, I'd speak and it was like the birds were singing. | waslike the rivers,
the mountains and the earth. From the first time I started having visions each
continuing where the other one left off.
“The first time I took peyote I had a vision where I saw some guy walking along
the road with a pack on his back and long blonde hair, blue eyes and high
cheekbones. In the vision I knew he was Indian, hisname was Joe and thathe was
from Denver.
“Two weeks later while driving in a pick up truck we saw someone walking
along the road and! met him. We became sworn brothers that day.
“It was unreal, like Chuang Tzu (a Chinese mystic) when he dreamed he wasa
butterfly and when he woke he wasn’t sure whether he was a butter!ly dream-
ing he was a man or a man dreaming he was a butterfly. | don't know why it
happened, itjustdid. Ican'tgive any physical ‘explanation or anything like that...”
This separate visionary of Hal's became part of his everyday life. joe had had
visions similar to Hal's previous to their meeting. Also Hal met an old Chinese
man who wandered the desert alone. Like a refugee from the T.V, series he
offered to teach Hal a certain school of Kung-Fu once he learns Chinese. Attimes,
an old Indian man would drop by where Hal lived with his friends.
“The Indian would be able to feel out our mood and adapt to us. He would
always come in moments of crisis, somehow knowing when they were. He would
pose us questions or speak and make many allusions to animals, Then he would
leave by saying, “I am only a mocking bird,” and retumed a week later tosee the
effect of his talk, like some Zen master who had just posed a question to his
students.
“Sometimes algo we would go hunting, usually for rattle snakes. We would kill
them with a gun and say a prayer for then before and after we killed it. The meat
was unlike anything I've ever tasted.
“In the momings I would bathe naked in the river and say my prayers. Later
we'dall go into a sweat lodge—an Indian sauna and sit eround ina circle around
a hot pit singing and praying.
“I didn't know what the words meant but that didn't matter. | knew what the
songs meant anyway.”
On the door of Hal's room hangs a“medicine shield” or what is a result of a vi-
sion quest he undertook this summer. The shield is brightly painted in red, yellow
and white on paper. The design is an abstract interpretation of an eagle. Four
feathers hang down from it. Four is a sacred number among many Indians. The
shield is dircular (circles are also sacred among most tribes) but the eagle con:
tained within it is peculiar to Hal and the second day of his vision quest.
“On the second day (of the quest) there wasa sunset. I had just given upon ever
receiving a vision and I was almost ready to return and admitted to having failed.
“It was one of those sunsets that seem {fo cover the whole sky in front and
behind you. The trees and rocks all around me were glowing orange, even my
skin. I was so intent on gaining the vision that [only caughtit halfway through
“It seemed to break my uneasiness. After that I sat down unconsciously and
just began to contemplate. Ina little while the vision came—it was the same eagle
Thad seen when | was 13. It came as the last thing in the vision but the eagle had
the same markings as long ago, It was all encompassing. Even the clouds above
me took on the presence of the eagle. It's presence reaffirmed what had been said
before.
“| wear my braids and my feathers now fortwo differenct reasons. Forone the
feathers bind me to the spirit of the birds o which I am abrother. . . | have
accepted the eagle as my spirit and all birds at the same time.
“The other thing is that they are a natural expression of what's inside of me—a
feeling of Indianess that is just bubbling over.
“Heel allegiance {o the Jewish people asa tribal people and a struggling peo
ple but I don't have any feeling for the Jewish religion.”
My interview with Hal ended some 3 or4 hours after | first walked into his room
When I got home | went brousing through a book called Touch the Earth, A Self
Portrait of Indian Existence. |t was late Friday night, the Jewish Sabbath, when this
passage, (written in response to an offer made to a group of Indians in 1744 toat
tend college) caught mye eye.
“We know that you highly esteem the kind of leaning taught in those colleges,
and that the maintenance of our young Men, while with you, would be very ex
pensive to you. We are convinced, that you mean todo us Good by your Proposal
and we thank you heartily. But you, who are wise therefore not take itamiss, ilour
ideas of the kind of Education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had
some Experience of it. Several of our young People were formerly brought up at
the Colleges of the Northem Provinces (ie. Northern U.S.); they wer instructed in
alll your Sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad Runners, ig-
norant of every means of living in the woods. . . neither fit (or Hunters, Warriors,
nor Counsellors, they wer totally good for nothing.
“We are, however not the less oblig'd by your kind Offer, tho’ we decline
accepting; and, to show our grateful Sense of it, it the Gentlemen of Virginia will
send us a Dozen of their Sons, we will take Care of their Education, instruct then in
all we know and make Men of them.”
One rnust think that after all Hal has done this summer and even now, his real
education and his real barmitzvah have just begun /

Even though women need to work, they face blatant discrimination in pay

HAARLEME:
(AP) Frank Serpico, the lonely
‘crusader who helped expose
widespread grait in the New York City
police department, gazed out the cafe
window at two long-haired Dutch cops
going by in a mini squad car.
The one next to the driver wasa lady
cop, blonde and pretty.
“Happy as_larks," observed the
former plainclothesman whose fight
against police payoffs and official
cover-ups shook the administration of
Mayor John Lind- yy
say and became a
best selling book
sand hit movie.
“Cops over here
are respected.
They relate to the
people. They aren't
plotting waystoput
you in jail to meet
arrest quolas.
“Policemen in
Switzerland are
even listed in the phone book, so
someone in trouble can call them upat
home. In New York it's still a big deal
getting them to live inside the city
limits. Here cops on the beat can wear
long hair, beards, earrings, anything
they like.”
Serpico, known lo prostitutes in the
other Harlem as “The Beard,” studied
his own collar-length hair and neat
spade beard in the mirror. He tugged
the gold earring in his good ear and
ordered up a genever, a “young”
Holland gin.
“Hey, you know something,” he
laughed, “I never caught a European
cop cooping." Cooping is police slang
for sleeping on the job, in school boiler
rooms and tenements basements, a
custom Serpico early encountered as a
rookie cop in his native Brooklyn.
A horse-drawn barrel organ cascad-
ed a waltz across the cobblestone
square where Serpico's mobile
camper was parked at a meter. Alfie,
his shaggy Euglish sheep dog and “on-
ly true friend," peered patiently out the
window.
For more than two years now, Ser-
pico has been in self-exile abroad,
almost constantly on the move, trying
to find himself and maybe—he smiles
wanly at the suggestion—trying to lose
somebody, Both he and Alfie have
trouble sleeping.
He was wamed, he testified in court,
they were going to "do job" on him
and he could end up “face down in the
East River" forgiving evidence against
fellow plainclothesmen on the take
from gamblers,
Six months after appearing as a key
witness at ihe perjury trial of a
plainclothesman who denied taking
thousands of dollars in grait, Serpico
was shot in the face while making a
narcotics arrest.
Serpico stood! apart in the ranks of
the New York Police department, the
nation’s largest, as one ol the few of-
ficers ever fo report corruption and
then voluntarily take the stand against
crooked cops, For breaking the un-
written precinct house law that in effect
puts cops above the law, he was
shunned and hated by his fellow of-
licers and written off as a “psycho” by
his superiors.
Four years had gone by since a cop
on riotduty in Brooklyn handed him an

been more than’ ¥
tried toget high adrninistration officials
an organized system of bribes from
numbers operators that was netting
dishonest cops $800 a month in the
south Bronx division.
Frustrated at departmental foot
dragging, Serpico at last took his story
to The New York Times. The resulting
newspaper series caused a sensation.
In the fallout of related events, the em-
barrassed mayor appointed the in-
dependent Knapp Commission to in-
‘vestigate police corruption. Amid a
fg welter of in-
“wjiictments and
federal —_in-
vestigations, the
police com-
missioner resign-
‘ed, the department
was reorganized
land its rules
revamped, holding
field commanders
responsible for the
conduct of their
men. Precinct captains were banished
to the sticks and there wasan exodus of
retiring top brass,
Walking the streets of the old
Haarlem, which long ago gave its
name to the New York ghetto, Frank
Serpico, now 38 and retired on a dis-
ability pension, triesasmuch ashe can
to forget the past and live in the pre-
“sent,
“I don't look beyond tomorrow,” he
said, turning his right ear to the peal of
bells from the town hall clock. “The
way my head is now, Idon’tthink I'll be
around very long. Who wants to live
forever?”
Besides the unknown enemies Alfie
listens for, there is the enemy within,
the bullet fragments still lodged in his
brain that could begin moving at any
time, bringing total paralysis or death.
The lost hearing in his left ear causes
him to lose his balance in the dark and
become confused when sound comes
from several directions,
Always a loner, The Beard abroad
has become even “more radicalized,
more anti-establishment” than in the
days when his hippie clothes, bushy
hair and swinging Greenwich Village
life-style made other cops suspicious of
him. He was a crack shot and a karate
expert, but he didn’t "belong to the
club.” He liked ballet and opera, kept
T.S, Eliot's poems in his locker and, he
laughs, “didn’t stash money in mason
jars out in the back yard to avoid em-
barrassing bank accounts.”
The dust has settled now, and every
crooked cop he testified against has
served his sentence and gone free.
Serpico wonders if he would do it all
over again.
“Dare | disturb the Universe?” he
quoted his favorite Eliot poem, “The
Lovesong of J. Alfred Prutrock.”
In hisramblings, Serpico has lormed
some opinions of the police he en-
counters. He liked the easygoing inlor-
mality of the Helsinki cops. He thought
some of the local police in Italy lived up
to their Italian movie image of "bumbl-
ing, sleazy corruptability,” but the
carabiniere, the national force, were
“respecied as a just police organiza
tion.”
A village policeman in Italy showed:
him a rusty revolver,
“When was this shot last?” Paco ask-
ed,
“Who remembers?”
“By what if you needed it?"
round heje,"* the cop replied,
‘before you shoo! someone, you'd
better shoot yoursell first.”
The British bobbies didn't impress
Serpico keeps notes for a possible
book, “not a behind-the-scenes, sour
grapes look at my past but something
‘on the philosophy of justice.” He was
asked to address the police academy
in a Swiss city and pulled together
some of his theories on police training,
“like allowing 18-year-olds on the
force to train with an experienced
partner, having a ghetto family and
maybe a guy doing time rap with the
recruits and re-examining the whole
deal of arrest records versus citizen
rights.”
He attended a World Police Federa-
tion meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland,
and was disappointed to find ita big
beer drinking lest that had nothing to
do with resolving problems of better
law enforcement.”
But the more he thinks about it, Ser-
pico is convinced “it isn’t just police
corruption. The whole system is rotten.
Here it is 1974 and they still bitch
about busing. America has become
the land of the Big Rip Off; rip off others
before they rip you off.”
Serpico pointed to a paperback
copy of Kurt Vonnegut's “Breaklast of
Champions" on the dashboard. “There
a guy who's got it all together. The
American dream has become a night-
mare. I don't think the system can be
changed by legal means anymore. I'm
fascinated by Patty Hearst and that
Symbionese Liberation stuff. After
Vietnam and Watergate, what can be
called extreme?”

Barracks that once housed guards
are now occupied by families of a
dozen technicians who man a radar
station that tracks missiles launched
from the French space center on the
mainland, only 8 miles away. The
bubble-topped station is on Royal
Island, almost concealed among the
ruins of the penal colony, which
spread over three islands—Devil's
Royal and Si. Joseph.
Barely a stone's throw apart, the
islands form a triangle in the turquoise
waters of the Caribbean. They were
“tamed the Salvation Islands’ by’mis-
sionaries who fled there centuries ago
during an epidemic of malaria on the
French Guiana mainland.
For 100 years, France kept its most
hardened criminals in the South
American colony—in the Devil's
Island complex and in prisons and
work camps on the mainland.
For 50,000 of the 70,000 convicts,
French Guiana was a death sentence.
They were killed by disease, by guards
and by each other.
Few of the 20,000 survivorsever saw
France again. Some escaped into the
wilds of Venezuela; others served out
their terms and stayed in French
Guiana.
There was . . . Henri Charriere, the
convicted murderer who maintained
his innocence and chronicled prison
life and his Devil's Island escape in two
books, “Papillon” and “Banco.” It is
primarily his work that brings tourists.
..Francis Lagrange, the convict pai-
nter who only in prison developed his
own style and stopped imitating the
masters he had forged so successfully
for 80 long.
Soulange, adiamond thief, whose
ragged diary lells how he plotted his

said, "Tonight, | think I will succeed.”
And he did, with three other men on a
raft made of palm fronds, They drifted
fordays without food or water until one
man, gone mad, jumped into the sea.
The others drew straws, and the loser
was killedand eaten. Soulange made it
fo the mainland and found refuge in
Dutch Guiana, now Surinam.
There were no cells on Devil's Island
itself. The prisons were on the other
islands.
Royal Island was administrative

prison walls crumble as palm trees
thrust between the stones. In building

O'Heaney’'s For Real
To the Editor:
Your article on taverns in La Belle Albany
tc, that appeared in Wednesday's ASP (Nov,
(6) was full of misimpressions. Most noticeable
was the writer’s description of O'Heaney’s
Grill at 184 Ontario Street. The description
was out-of-date by over two years! True,
O'Heaney’s is neither a swinging singles up-
town nor rock band druggy downtown bar,
and it may be raunchy by Wolf Road crowd
standards, but it hardly deserves the image of a
jock-fraternity-fight-all-the-time boring place
that the article painted,

sationalists. You never know what infamous

O'Neillesque observations and great lies of
wisdom. There may be a bit too much sports
‘on Sundays, but O'Heaney’s remains the
closest thing to McSorley’s

Tuesday, Nov. 5, 11:30 a.m.
To the Editor:
This morning while most of the Albany stu-
dent body was still asleep, crisis struck our
suite, One of our suitemates blacked out; the
thud of his head hitting the floor luckily woke
another up.
Controlling the urge to panic, we im-
mediately contacted Five-Quad Ambulance
Service. Within minutes two very capable
representatives of Five-Quad were ad-
‘ministering first-aid to our semi-conscious
and bewildered suitemate,
We could continue the story in detail, but
it's not really necessary. Our friend was in
Albany Medical Center receiving excellent
care, not more than twenty minutes after his
accident
Five-Quad Ambulance Service deserves
for a job well done, Unfortunate
know cither the young. gentlem
young lady’s name so we cannot thank them
Personally, but we in suite 1304 are deeply in-
debted to these fine people,
In conclusion, we would just like to say'to
the Student body that whenever Five-Quad
asks for donations, to spare the change: some-
day you might need them too.

And Now, A Word About Movies:
Deeper Into Atmosphere
by David Wade
Perhaps one of the least-acknowledged
teams carefully trained in the wonders of
Wire-Crossing; the beauties of the Unfocused
aspects of SUNY cultural fife is that of the
Weekend Movie. How many of us attend the
SUNY movies every Friday and/or Saturday
night? Yet how many of us bother to tip the
doorpeople or thank the projectionist? How
many of us enjoy the special effects created by
the projectionists and doorpeople to save us
irom the boring spots? Yet, how many of us
blame these hard workers unfairly for these
very attempts?
Oh, fickle, foolish and fussy audience! Oh,
poor, thankless, oppressed workers of SUNY

Think of the suspense built up by those pearly
moments of strained silence; by those
mysterious objects on the screen which, when
finally focussed. reveal themselves as ‘THE

vital dialogue from the blur of broken film!
Yes. 'm sureallof my readers will recognize
these wonderful but much-maligned produc-

‘Guidelines for Decisions”

decids between choices:
‘everybody else is
ls your guideline “what
doing.” oF “what's bet for me” (but maybe
will hixrt somebody else), or “what Mom and
Dad said” or just “whatever is casiest?” Have |
you ever bothered to think about it? These ; _
choices and guidelines were around 2,000
{years ago of #0, when Jesus Christ was doing
his three year teaching and miracle-making
thing. What he said and did upset the big guys
20 much they killed him as. public criminal,
‘Today there are people running around who
claim to be “Christians.” The Bible says that
when someone becomes a Christian, he is a
new person. How docs this Christian make
choices? How does this brand new person live
day to day? First of all, what is a Christian?
Protestant? Religious perton? Someone who
does his best? Follower of Jesus Christ?
AChristian knows that there isa God. This
God is loving but perfect. The Christian
realizes that he is not super-goody Captain
Lovable. But instead of feeling guilty and try-
ing to escape from himself, or maybe see an
analyst or, something, he reaches out to the
promise of Jesus, which claims love and
‘oneness with God, freedom, and life.
This changes him. It turns his whole life
around, He can't explain it, but a lot of the
ways he uted to do things don’t work for him
anymore,
A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ,
and Jesus said: “If you live according to my
teaching, you are truly my followers.”
Now, back to guidelines. What was the
teaching tha Jem was taking about? The Bt

in the love God bas fot us. God is love, and he
‘who abides in love abides in God, and God in
him.” We, for our part, love because he first.
loved us.’ The commandment we have from
him is this; “whoever loves God must love his
brother.” (1 John 4:16,19,21).
Dally Moral Choices.
Obviously, the guideline for a Christian
‘who must make daily moral choices is love.
But Jesus never talked about an ego trip,
trite generalization, a “nothing word,” when
he talked about love. He said, “There is no
greater love than this: to lay down one's life
for one’s friends.” And that’s just what he did.
He stways gave, never asking anything for
himself. He lived and died freely, for people
who were rotten and hated him. And he didn't
die for some vague group. Ifyou were the only

Yes, friends, that detailed description of
social ills of America, that well-known cham-

SEB ER EERE ENED
Backed by such thrilling and innovative
compositions as ‘At Last We've Found Your
Tingler’ and the themefrom the original Old
Spice shaving-r-am commercial, Miss
Lovelace and her crew revealed new depths of
hard-core talent. Also making new strides in
the acting field were Linda's final love and
fiancé, an unknown cast in the role of a
ving thief, and Linda’s roommate, another un-
known willingly demonstrating her own
fascinating talent.

However, excrutiatingly brilliant as these
professionals were, mention must be made of
the subtle talent of the sponsors of the film
Shown in a choice basement, upon a
stylistically-wrinkled sheet, and complete with
musty odor and darkened passages, the at-
mosphere of the production was authentic and
inspiring. In fact, that atmosphere was so in-
spiring that my floor, the majority of which
was present, seemed sincerely affected by the
‘manner in which Linda Lovelace conquered
her terrible, c problem. Altogether, an
excellent and uplifting experience.

‘The Marquis de Sade. Mention his name and reac-
tions will range from repulsion tocurious fascination.
Repulsion for what some view as the most obscene works
of literature ever written; fascination for the amazingin-
telligence of the man responsible for them.
From the completion of his earliest known work—in
1782—Sade was forced to deny authorship of almost
everything he wrote. Only recently has there been an
acceptance of, of at least tolerance of, Sade's work,
Sade probably could have avoided the censorship and
persecution that he was and is subject to if only he had
limited his writings to the sexual explicitness and variety
for which he his famous. However, Sade was an atheist,
and this, coupled with his highly political pamphlets,
placed him in a very unfavorable position with both
Church and State. He spent a good portion of his life in
various prisons (where he did most of his writing) and
cleven years in theasylum of Charenton until his death in
1814,
Jean-Paul Marat was one of the greatest men of the
French Revolution, champion of the people whoactual-
ly carried out the revolution. His political essays and
pamphlets made him an enemy of the royalists, who sent
Charlotte Corday to his room to kill him. Marat, suffer-
ing from askin disease. was forced to sit in a bath to
alleviate the pain, and it is here that he was stabbed by
Corday, defenseless in the midst of his writing.
‘The Marquis de Sade and Jean-Paul Marat never ac-
tually met, When Marat died, Sade volunteered to say a
few wordsat the burial, an offer inspired by purely selfish
motives. From this chance incident, Peter Weiss con-
tructed an absolutely brilliant play, The Persecution and
Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the
Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direc-
tion of the Marquis de Sade . Or, to fit the marquee,
Marat/Sade.
It isa difficult, complex play, and just as itis not easy
to watch and understand, it is not easy to produce.
To celebrate the occasion of their 150th production
the RPI Players chose to present MaraiSade. It is ex-
cellent, thanks to the direction of Bill Kammer and the
brilliant acting of the Players.
The Fifteenth Street Lounge at RPI is just the right
size for Weiss’ play, its smallness and informality
engendering the intimacy necessary to the play's success.
Marat/Sade, is a play within a play. The audience
enters and is seated in the asylum, as the inmates mill
about, waiting for the play to begin. Sade enters, and M.
Coulmier, the director of the asylum, enters with his wife
and briefly introduces the play
“The subject of tonight's piece will be the assassination
vf the revolutionary figure Jean-Paul Marat, by the
Woman Charlotte Corday which occurrred just fifteen
years ago this very night... Please settle back and
relax... and join us fora pleasant evening’s diversion.”
But Marat/Sade never approaches “a pleasant
evening's diversion”, It is a disturbing play. a visually
assaulting collage of conflicting characters. Sade is
stuuted in his own milieu, he is in total control, The
asylum director 1s held back by his fear of Sade and the
other inmates. The inmates are puppets. they obey Sade
through fear and force and respect, he is God in this
small universe of Charenton. Only the Herald does not

"Reenter a Child's World
by Howard Jacobs
1 guess‘all little kids have had their own trees, held
-funerala for their pets and have gone into theitjown fan-
taay worlds in their own room, Last Friday { had the op-
Portunity to ré-enter the world ofthe young when I
attended “An Afternoon for Children.”
‘Three short children’s stories were adapted for the
‘stage and put on for some young children and a few older
‘ones who all seemed to enjoy the performance:
The Giving Tree was about a young boy who had his
‘ownapple tree. Ashe grew older he used the apples to sell
and make money, cut down the branches to build himself
a home, took the trunk to build a boat and left only a
stump, It was not until years later that he truly ap-
Preciated the tree. He was an old man and he used the
siump to rest his tired body upon.
In The Dead Bird a group of young children playing
together, find a dead bird. They bury it and hold a
furieral for it. They then resume their play. They return
to the grave often and sing by
shows the children'sfirst encounter with death,
‘The third story was probably the most appreciated by
the young audience, In Where the Wild Things Are, a
child is told by his mother to get out of her way. He goes
to his room and all of his fantasies of monsters come
alive. The monsters come under his power. In this story
everything goes wild. Soon dinner time comes around
and the fantasy is over.
The production was well organized and the setting was
appropriate, The children watching all sat on the floot
‘ground the room. Since most kids don’t like chairs
was a good idea. The lighting was well done with the
spotlight most important in directing the attention of the
children.
The cast rehearsed for about three weeks. I spoke to
one of the members of the cast and he told me that he
preferred adult theatre, but it did not detract from the
performance. The actors seemed to relate well with their
parts,
The entire show was only about a halfhour long but
most five year olds get restless after this amount of time
anyway. As |walked out lasked a few children what
they thought of the plays, One said he liked TV better but
most were quite entertained. 1 hope that there is another
“Afternoon for Children” this year. College doesn’thave
to be complicated all the time.

‘Lovers and Others’
Filling but Tasteless
by Alan D. Abbey
Last Weekend's Lovers and Other
Strangers used only two of the
movie's four interrelated skits, and
didn’t tie them together, but let each
stand on its own. Joseph Bologna
and Renee Taylor, who are
themselves married, wrote a funny
script that ultimately copped out in
the end.
Director Sharon’ Swerdloff’s
production was excellent; she made
ood use of the Arena area in both
scenes, The first, titled “Brenda and
Jerry," was about a very well-read
pick-up who spends the entire even-
ing quoting from such authoritative
sources as Sex and the Single Girl
and Sex and the Single Manbefore
throwing herself at the man, Brenda
was Mindy Bailin, and Jerry was
Scott Westover. Bailin was a
caricature of the Cosmopolitan
woman. She played hard-to-get until
he started getting discouraged, then
said, “You'llnever lear the meaning
of reciprocal giving—then take, I'l
sive for both of us.” She was totally
given up to the idea of being a sex
kitten, no matter what she spouted
about “love.”
The play used thedifferent exits of
the Arena well, and made good use
of some sound effects such as the
flushing of a toilet, The acting was
stiff in the beginning, and loosened
up near the end when the two actors
ended up in Jerry's bed, grappling
frantically, Bailin’s best scene was
where she rubbed an imaginary
sticky ice cream pop from her hands.
Johnny and Wilma
‘The second playlet, titled “Johnny
and Wilma,” was easily the stronger
of the two, The acting was much
more confident throughout, and
blocking was much more im-
aginative. It included the two actors
pacing around on top of their bed,
like two sumo wrestlers feeling each
other out, Equal use was made of the
three pieces of furniture, and the ac-
tion was more spread out.
Wilma and Johnny weren't mak-
ing love much anymore, because
Johnny felt his male supremacy be-
ing threatened. The two ran through
enough insults and threats to give
Don Rickles material for a year. The
essential problem with the
characters was the man, Len
Scibilia, was not strong enough to
give in;and thewoman, Holly Fitter,
was. It was less important to her to
force an issue than it was to him.
Giving in took more strength and
confidence than holding out.
The main problem with the two
plays was their superficiality. They
were funny but forgettable, cute but
tasteless in the end. The other fault
was that there was no connection
between the two, and neither was
really strong enough to stand on
their own.

For this reason, Leslie Benjamin
Siegel is a very special fellow. Most
equipment managers of college gym-
nasiums do not get articles written
about them unless they are so old
that you refer to them as “Pops”; so
old that sports editors have pangs of
conscience thinking that no article
be written about these men until
an obituary becomes necessary,
Around the SUNYA gym,
however, middle-aged Leslie will
forever be known as “Benny,” and he
does not need an article to showcase
his unique position here,
‘One need only enter the basement
on the men’s side of the gym during
the day, to realize this, There you
will find the equipment room. Enter
the door to it, and you will meet an
aluminum cage which separates you
from shelves of sports equipment
stacked eight feet high,
Behind you, on the other side of
the door you entered, are 23 signs
taped to its surface: “Benny's out to
lunch,” "Benny back in 15 minutes,”
“Cage closed, signed Benny," are just
few.
The signs say a lot. They say that
when Benny leaves the equipment,
the equipment does not move, He
employs a few student assistants, of
course, but when he leaves the cage,
they leave with him, and the signs go
up.
But signs do not begin to explain

Future Off-Campus Dwellers’ Plans
Unaltered by New Housing Law
by Ellen Eckstein
Albany Mayor Corning altered the future plans of
hundreds of students when he signed the new housing
bill, Students, according to the new law, will now have to
limit cohabitation to no more than three unrelated per
sons to a dwelling,
Considering that this bill could leave a large number of
students without apartments, « surprising calm and even
complacency seemed to prevail. At present, few appear
wortied about this bill, especially since it will not im-
ict off-campus students. The real problems
car when students will try to find off-
mediately

campus housing,
I'm not going to let the new bill bother me," com-
mented one off-campus resident. “If | wanted to stay 1
would, We have good relations with the family on the
first floor,” he added. The student lives with three others
on the second floor of a house on Kent Street
The atmosphere was likewise quiet at the off-campus
housing office on the Albany State Campus. Student
signs asking for roommates and apartment fact sheets
pained upon the walls as usual. No signs of panicwere
apparent. Apartments calling for more than three per-
sons were still being listed
“1 would advise students against renting with more
than three people,” declared Joseph Scaring, Director of
Off-Campus Housing. “We will continue to list four or
more bedroom apartments but we will also write about
the law. I don’t really see any crisis in student housing,”
remarked Scaring. “In my opinion,” he continued,
~Perhaps only ten percent of the off-campus students live
in excess of three (persons).”
Despite the fact that current off-campus students will
not immediately be affected, the law remains as an
obstacle. If the law is enforced, students will probably
have to face higher rents of return to the campus dor-
mitories. “When a $300 a month rent is divided among
five people it's cheap, but reduce that to three and it
forces the student out,” stated Joel Diringer who lives on
Manning Boulevard, a highly residential street
Enforcement Of The New Law
Yet most students are not especially worried that the
ordinance: will ever be enforced on any mass scale.
“Since it will probably be enforced on a complaint basis
from neighbors you should speak to your neighbors. Try
to get your neighbors to come to you to turn down a
stereo, instead of going to the landlord or the city,” said
Ira Birnbaum who plans to move off-campus within the
near future, “I think” he continued, “that 95% of the
cases will go undetected.”
The students who will seek off-campus housing for the
Fall 1975 term may be the guinea pigs. If they decide to
defy the law and cohabitate in numbers exceeding three
it may become obvious as to how stringently the housing
law will be enforced.
