Council lowers student fee;

SA Legal Aid Society poll

by Nancy Durish,
Staff Reporter

The passage of the bill
containing revised student activity
assessment rates was the highlight
of last night’s Central Council
meeting.

This bill, whose major provision
calls for a reduction of $4 in the
mandatory student tax rate for
the entire year, contains changes
affecting all students, including
graduate and special students as
well as students enrolled in the
General Studies program.

The new rate of $26.75 per
semester applies to all
undergraduates and_ special
students carrying 9 or more credit
hours a semester. Those carrying 4
to 8 credit hours will pay $13.38
per semester, and those having a
courseload of less than 4 hours
are exempt from paying student
tax.

On the graduate level, if
students elect to pay the student
tax fee the charge will be $13.38
per year for a course load of 7-Il
hours and $26.75 per year for 12
or more hours.

Students enrolled in the
General Studies Program will pay
no student tax. These students are
generally people from the

community who take one or two
courses a year at the University.

A completely new rate for
married students was also
instituted with the bill’s passage.
If one member of Student
Association is married to another
member of SA, they will pay the
normal rate for two people but
will receive a refund of $13.38 per
semester. In addition, if an SA
member is married to a
non-member, the non-member
will receive all of the benefits of
student tax by paying $6.69 in
addition to the member’s fee of
$26.75 per semester. However,
because this non SA member is
not attending the University, he
shall not be able to vote in any

election or be a member of any
SA financed group.

In other matters, Council
passed the resolution to run an
opinion poll concerning the
establishment of a Student
Association Legal Aid Society.
The poll is expected to be taken
in the fall by Council’s Political
and Social Positions Committee.

The main purpose of the legal
aid society would be to help
obtain legal counsel for University
students charged with a felony or
misdemeanor.

Dennis Arnold, a student at the
University of Buffalo, spoke to
the members of Council about the
Legal Aid System recently
established at UB, and its success
so far.

Arnold stated that the system
consisted of an answering service
that could be called at anytime,
and which gave information to
students about their legal rights. If
the student found himself in jail,
an attempt to post bond and
obtain legal counsel would be

made by Arnold, who is UB's
Student government’s “Student
Rights Coordinator.”

Council also passed
unanimously the resolution in
which it “‘urges the earliest
possible implementation of the
proposals for establishing a
General College and an
Experimental College” at the
University.

Council endorsed the pluralistic

concept of undergraduate
education enunciated in the 1968
report, ‘New Patterns in
Undergraduate Education,” and
felt that the establishment of the
General and Experimental
Colleges would be a mark of real
Progress toward necessary
academic reform,

Thomson Littlefield, an
introducer of this bill, stated that
due to the budget cuts for the
coming fiscal year, there may be a
lengthy delay in the
implementation of these two
colleges at the University.

Reinstatement of

Psych professors

by Anita Thayer

Dr. Waterman’s and Mrs.
Rhoads’ term appointments have
been extended for one year by a
decision of President Collins
which concludes with his recent
statement on ‘‘Student
Participation,” distributed at an
all-University meeting Thursday,
May 8. This is the culmination of
administration efforts to find a
constructive and acceptable
solution to the Waterman-Rhoads
issue.

The issue, according to Collins
“is the extent to which
information from students was
systematically included in the
judgements made, the ways in
which students were involved in
the discussions, and most
important the degree to which
constructive dialogue between the
students and faculty was
effective.”

The Student committee
requested Collin’s intervention on
the basis of “their inability, over a
period of more than three weeks
iw develop a basis for constructive
discussion with the faculty of the
psychology department.”

Prior to this case, the faculty
had committed self to the
principle of student participation
in sxcademic affairs.” There is no
request by students nor intent by
faculty to shift control over
faculty appointments to
sutdents,” but there is an
intention to utilize student
information, and concern.

Meaningful discussion is the
“heart of the academic process.
Unless opportunity for continuing
,dialogue is assured, the
fundamental function of the
University is threatened.”

Over 200 students atterded he
May 8 open meeting and greeted
Collin’s decision and statement
with emotional approval and
expressions of relief.

Students present also discussed
the general issue of student

participation. “If we slow down

Whereas: The President has
requested the offices of the
University Construction Fund and
the Dormitory Authority to
conduct a survey of the extent to
which minority groups are
employed on SUNYA
construction projects.

To this end a committe is to be
formed composed equally of 4
students and 4 faculty senators.
Any student interested in
participating is urged to submit
his natme to Terry Mathias at
3430.
Faculty Senate passed a
resolution Monday resolving:
That the Faculty Senate
review the findings of this study
and, if discrimination is found to

exist, join with the Student
Association to establish a joint ad
hoc group empowered to rectify
the situation by such measures as:

1’ Publicize the findings of the
study

2. Ascertain the reasons for
non-enforcement of existing laws

3. Study the need for changes
in existing legislation

4. Survey the availability of
trained construction manpower in
the local area, with emphasis on
members of minority groups.

we're really going to lose...What
we need now is a vehicle for
showing broad student
responsibility.,.The ultimate
power should reside 50-50...Power
isn’t numbers; if you can acualize
your ideas you have power...”

The Faculty-Senate discussed
the Waterman-Rhoads issue and
President Collin’s statement on
student participation at their
Monday meeting.

Although Collins affirmed
several times that attempts had
been made to solve the issue at
the departmental level, many
Senators saw the President’s
action as a threat to departmental
autonomy,

Collins denied that “coercion
had played a role in his decision in
response to another Senator’s
charge.

President Collins emphasized
that the role of “meaningful
student dialogue” was more
important in his review of the
issue than the merits of the
original decisions, on which he
passed no judgement.

The right of students to
petition for the redress of
grievances has been affirmed in a
policy on student consultation
adopted by the Faculty Senate.
Faculty are obligated to “consider
such petitions in good faith and
act responsibly on their merits.”

This policy calls for the
University President to impose on
all departments and schools the
“duty of providing for an orderly,
continuing process of
faculty-student consultation with
regard to policies and decisions on
matters of concern to students.”

An Ad Hoc Consultation
Guideline Committee of four
faculty members and four
students will draw up guidelines
for implementation of this policy
before the end of September,
1969.

Any student who is interested
in serving on this faculty-student
committee and will be here this
summer should contact Terry

Election results

contested

The validity of the recently
held Central Council and LAAC
elections has been questioned.
According to Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, Paul Liberman, a
referral contesting the results of
the elections has been submitted
by Brian McMenamin, a
sophomore here. MacMenamin has
contested the elections on the
grounds that the provisions for
write-in’ ballots were unclear and
unknown to most students.

In the elections, three students
from State Quad were elected
solely by write-in votes. There
were only four candidates running
from the Quad, with 7 available
openings, The three remaining
berths were filled with those who
had been written in the most
times.

Lieberman admitted that the
referal will not be heard until next
term begins, however. He stated
that there is not now sufficient
time for the Court to hear the
case, even if it was possible for the
opposing sides to draw up
adequate briefs, which
Lierberman felt was “doubtful.”

The only students who were
elected from the Quads on
write-ins were the three from
State. In the past, the policy on
write-in votes has been rather in
question.

There has not been any referral
as to the legality of the currently
passed mandatory tax. However,
in a similar situation at State
University College at Cortland,

this year the Office of Residences
will allow students to request
release from their
contract for academic year
1969-70. This request should be
submitted between May 15-July
1, Individuals whose requests are
granted will receive a full deposit
refund.

The procedure for requesting
release from the contract is as
follows: The person(s) wishing to
be released should go to the
Housing Office in Fulton Hall,
Room 103 between May 15 and
July 1. The Housing Office will
ask the person to fill out a request
to break the contract. After the
request is reviewed official
notification will be sent to the
student indicating whether or not
release has been approved.

This procedure is designed to
allow maximum flexibility for
continuing students while

Clothing boxes were placed in the

in the Administration building, in
an attempt to gain faculty and

placed in the lower lobbies of the
dorms.

This year the drive netted
approximately 100 pairs of shoes,
1300 articles of adult clothing,

The clothes are sold at a

clothing will bring in between
$200 and $300 in receipts.

Originally the money went to
the Trinity Summer Camp at

Committee to Save Chapel House. ‘Proof of much student support would be necessary to save it.”

Chapel House destruction
is opposed by committee

by Valerie Ives

Opposition to the destruction
of Chapel House, which is to be
replaced by an Interfaith Center
has been voiced by the Committee
to Save Chapel House.

The Interfaith Corporation now
owns’ the property where Chapel
House is located. Although it is
used by University students,
Chapel House is neither run nor
paid for by the University.

This Corporation, made up of
citizens in the community, was
given the power to plan the
Interfaith Center by the Capital
Area Council of Churches. In
order to get the money to build
the center, it is hoped that enough
donations will be made by
members of the community.

A survey of students in
religious organizations was taken
by the Corporation and it was
revealed that they would be in
favor of the new center.

‘The preliminary plans for the
center have already been drawn.
The chairman of the Corporation
said that proof of much student
support would be necessary in
order to save Chapel House
because it would be expensive to
change the plans.

One alternative suggested was
that Chapel House be moved.
Within the committee, however,
an objection was made to this--the
architect wouldn’t approve of the
way the huge, modern, center
would look next to the old,
wooden house.

Other suggestions include
making the Interfaith Center
smaller or putting it next to the
Chapel House so that it need not
be moved.

Chairman of the Committee to
Save Chapel House, Shari Long,
said that the Interfaith Center
could be a good thing, but that it
doesn’t seem to merit the tearing
down of Chapel House. This is
because there doesn’t seem to be
any real need for an Interfaith
Center, and especially one of the
size planned.

It would have two floors and
include offices for the campus
ministers and priests, and also one
room large enough to hold 300
people

One of its purposes would be
having traveling clergymen come
and stay for a few weeks while

giving speeches, etc. Any religious
group could meet there. It is
hoped that it would get the
community and the student body
more involved in this type of
activity and also that the religious
groups would become more
active. A regular worship service
would be held every week.
Chapel House was built
somewhere around 1910 and, asa
point of interest, was run by the
Republican machine. Most people
that know the place have come to
love it. Its wooden structure, high

Walinsky, Kennedy

Initiates

A lecture series honoring the
late Senator Robert F, Kennedy
has been established at the
Graduate School of Public Affiars
at the State University of New
York at Albany. The initial
lecture will be delivered by Adam
Walinsky, the late Senator
Kennedy’s chief legislative
assistant, on Tuesday, May 20th,
at 8:00 pm at the Campus Center
of the University.

Mr. Walinsky will speak on
“The Radical in Politics.” The
lecture series is being sponsored
by the Albany Chapter of Pi
Sigma Alpha, a national political
science honor fraternity.

The Robert F. Kennedy
Memorial Lectures, in addition to
the primary purpose of honoring
the late Senator, will be designed
to establish a dialogue between
today’s political leaders-go-
vernment officials and aides--and
tomorrow's political leaders-the
students.

Senator Kennedy was involved
in such a dialogue during his
public life. His many campus
appearances were consistently
marked by a sharp exchange of
opinions and ideas. Senator
Kennedy’s willingness to accept
this challenge of student views
impressed many of the present
college generation and sparked
admiration for his frankness and
the idealism of his concern.

Mr, Walinsky is a graduate of
Yale University. He joined
Senator Kennedy’s staff while

atmosphere. It’s ideal for small
group discussions and is also a
good retreat house. Its setting on
the hill and the sharp contrast in
atmosphere between the rest of
the campus and Chapel House are
important to those who go there,

is planned to begin next fall. At
the present, the Interfaith
Corporation is trying to see if the
community is going to donate
enough money.

‘Black Rhetoric’

Truth, Booker T. Washington,
Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael,
and Eldridge Cleaver.

Prerequisites include RPA 103
(SPH 103). or RPA 202 (SPH
102), or the former course SPH
101.

Mrs. Phillips, an official Red Cross

witnessed. Her expectancy was
that somewhere in the
neighborhood of 300 pints would
be obtained even though the
fraternity’s goal was boldly stated
at 400. Yet, the last drops of
blood shed pushed the mark well
over both the estimation and the
goal. Mr. Peter Pavone, a junior at

senior, worked throughout the
entire day and put on an
outstanding performance ~ in

Stickmen Beat Cobleskill

Host

Albany’s second lacrosse season*
comes to an end this Saturday
when the Danes meet Corning
Community College at 2 pm on
the soccer field. Corning has a 5-1
record.

The highly successful stickmen
will take an 8-1 record into the
game. Over their two-year
history, coach Silvey’s charges
have an even more impressive
13-1-1 mark.

The only setback in State’s
short history came at the hands of
the West Point J.V.’s earlier this
year. The tie came last year
against tomorrow’s opponent,
Corning.

Under a new rule, no game may
end in a tie. Thus, a repeat
performance of last year’s game is
impossible, There will be a winner
(and a loser).

In their most recent games, the
lacrossemen have posted victories
over the Hartwick varsity, the
Siena frosh, and Cobleskill A&T.

do your

contact lenses lead

a clean life?

Contact lenses can be
heaven . . . or hell. They
may be a wonder of
modern science but just
the slightest bit of dirt
under the lens can make
them unbearable. In
order to keep your con-
tact lenses as comforta-
ble and convenient as
they were designed to be,
you have to take care of
them.

Until now you needed
two or more separate
solutions to ptoperly pre-
pare and maintain your
contacts. You would
think that caring for con-
tacts should be as con-
venient as wearing them.
It can be with Lensine.

Lensine is the one lens
solution for completé
contact lens care. Just a
drop or two, before you
insert your lens,coats and
lubricates it allowing the
lens to float more freely

in the eye's fluids. That's

because Lensine is an
“isotonic” solution,
which means that it
blends with the natural
fluids of the eye.

Cleaning your contacts
with Lensine retards the
buildup of foreign de-
posits on the lenses. And
soaking your contacts in
Lensine between wear-
ing periods assures you
of proper lens hygiene.
You get a free soaking
case on the bottom of
every bottle of Lensine.

It has been demonstrated
that improper storage be-
tween wearings may
result in the growth of
bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of
eye irritation and in some
cases can endanger your
vision. Bacteria cannot
grow in Lensine which is
sterile, self-sanitizing,
and antiseptic.

Let your contacts be the

The Albany State varsity golf
team played its fifth match in a
week yesterday and in the process
closed out its first winning season
in five years.

Last Tuesday, the team hosted
Union College and were more
than hospitable as they dropped a
4-3 decision to the men from
Schenectady. The six individual
matches were split, three and
three, but the seventh point went
to Union by virtue of their lower
overall stroke total.

The following day, State
traveled to Syracuse to face
LeMoyne. Led by sophomore
Tom Patterson’s 73 and junior
Marv Gertzberg’s 74, the team
came away with a 6-3 victory. On

,, BLEAChn.! ’
‘ BOUND

By Jim Winslow

Several weeks ago, a very inconspicuous column appeared in this
space. It had to do with the much talked about possibility of
intercollegiate club football next fall at Albany State. In essence, it
concluded that the only solid obstacle to institution was the lack of
knowledge, in the Athletic Department and Central Council, that
there were enough men who would want to play the rough contact
sport.

The column must have been quite inconspicuous for although it
was made clear that club football could easily become a reality; no
group of individuals has, as yet, come to the Athletic Advisory Board
with a petition to institute the sport. Once again, let it be stressed that
the petition had to come from those who wanted to play the sport.

This has been the policy of late when instituting new sports and it
has worked with much success. Both the Sailing Club and the Lacross
Club began with petitions by interested participants. The policy
partially assures a successful club--at least it fulfills the most basic
prerequisite: fielding a team.

It is both the Athletic Department’s and Central Council’s prime
concern that each new sport at least be given the prerequisites for
success. In demanding a petition from the participants, those who
have the most to do with the athletic~ teams (coaching and
supervision-wise, and money-wise) are trying to assure the
prerequisites.

Discounting the facetious possibility that no one has approached
the Board actually because the column was inconspicuous, only one
explanation can be seen for the lack of action: there are not enough
men at this time at Albany State who wish to play the sport.

I go out with a whimper, not with a bang!

appear in the 1969 edition of
OUTSTANDING COLLEGE
ATHELETES OF AMERICA, a
biographical ‘compilation
featuring the accomplishments of
approximately 5,000 young
atheletes who have proven
themselves outstanding in sports,
campus activities and
curriculum.” They are seniors
Rich Margison, Scott Price seniors
Jack Sinnott, John Compeau, and
junior Jim Sandy.

As far as Margison is concerned,
little need be’ said about his
previous achievements at this

University. This honor is indeed a
fitting reward to an individual
who has a great deal of which to
be proud.

Price is also a most deserving
recipient. Hobbled by an ankle
injury this year, his performance
did not lack hustle and desire
which characterized his play
previously.

Sandy is a two letter
man,catching for the baseball
team, and in winter serving as the
sixth man for the basketball
squad. Sinnot is the starting first
baseman on the baseball team,
while Compeau captained the
Soccer team.

Baseballers Set Back Utica
Brooklyn Twin-Bill Saturday

’ Albany’s baseball team ran its ' bullpen and brought in George

record to eight wins and six losses

this past. weekend as they
defeated Utica, 8-3.
The Danes were originally

scheduled to play a double-header
with Utica on Saturday, but were
rained out, The Sunday attempt
to play the twin bill was also
washed out resulting “in the
playing of the single game on
Monday.

George Webb hurled no-hit ball
for the first six innings, and with
relief help picked up the win for
the Danes. Webb, the top winner
for Albany this year with a four
and two record, held Utica in
check until the sevent when they
erupted for two of their three
runs,

With Webb tiring in the eighth,
Coach Burlingame went to his

Margan who squelched Utica’s
attempt to come back, thus saving
the game for Webb.

The Danes put the game out of
reach in the fifth when they put
four runs across the plate. Singles
by Rich Spiers, Jim Lee, and Jack
Sinnott preceded a booming triple
by Jim Sandy.

Spiers and Sandy also supplied
big hits in the seventh frame when
the Danes collected three more
runs. Spiers slashed out a double
while Sandy added a single to the
cause,

The Danes have a

A People-Oriented University

Edward

urell

by Kevin J. McGirr
ASP Feature Reporter

One of the more frequent
topics of discussion by the aware
student body of Albany State is
the campus architecture. It’s a
rare week when students or
faculty are not complaining about
some facet of the grandiose
structure. Complaints such as:
poor acoustics, lack of visual
variety, or the sterility radiated by
the bland colors are very frequent.
It has been said that the
architecture was designed to
reflect the student body.

It has also been the delight of
certain individuals to perpetuate
rumors about the stupendous
structure. There have been stories
that the academic podium is
sinking, that the campus was
designed for Florida, and that the
tower on Indian Quad will only be
ten stories high.

All untrue says Mr. Hoopes,
office manager for the architect's
office. There has also been
speculation as the fact that the
University is planning on building
another podium, this is also
untrue.

In the Fine Arts building lobby,
one will find’ a model of the
finished structure as of 1974. One
will also take relief in the
asymmetrical plan for the whole
campus. Mr. Hoopes says that the
present campus is actually not
that symmetrical; one may notice
that there is no dome between the
Administration and Fine Arts
buildings. One will also notice the

most glaring contradiction, the
water tower which is off center on
both axis.

Mr. Hoopes explains that the
campus was designed for function
and points out that very few
Universities can be built up in five
years. He says that in future years
there will be more greenery to
give relief to the white and grey ,
stone.

The man responsible for this
super magnanamous structure is
renowned Edward Dprell Stone.
Mr. Stone at 67 is responsible for
a bevy of structures throughout
the world.

Mr. Stone has designed the U.S.
Embassy in India, Civie Center in
New York, JFK Performing Arts
Center in’ Washington and has
been a consultant for the,
Verazanno-Narrows bridge; this is
only a small sample.

‘At present, Stone has designed
the Institute of Nuclear Science
and Technology in Pakistan which
looks remarkably like the Albany
Campus. When I asked Mr.
Hoopes about the similarity in
Stone’s architecture he said that
once an architect designs
something that is successful he
likes to ‘utilize its popularity in
other designs.

Whether or not one is satisfied
with the sterile appearance,

-symmetrical desing, cold concrete,

or smalll living quarters; the
taxpayers of New York have spent
$104,000,000 for this phase of
the campus construction--so enjoy: -

College of Arts and Sciences

(Editors’ note: this essay was
written at the request of the
editors in order to lend
perspective to the paths this
University will follow so that it
may fulfill its educational goal:
Let each become all that he is
capable of being.)

A university is a human
creation. People define its
goals and methods, and these
change with time. As a_ living
institution, the university is
always in process of becoming; it
has no fixed essence like the
things of chemistry or
mathematics; it has only a history
and an uncertain future.

For a long time it has been
traditional to describe and define
universities in abstract terms, that
is, as institutions concerned with
gathering, transmitting and
advancing knowledge. I believe
that the university of our time
and the near future must now be
described in more concrete and
human terms.

The “free university” of the
future should be a model of
self-goverance, dedicated to the
human development of its
members and to the improvement
of society. I see the State
University of New York at Albany
as becoming an outstanding
example of this new kind of
university.

Self-governance.

Let me speak of self-governance
first.

As a legal and corporate entity,
the university should eventually
embrace all of its members as part
of the corporation; policy and
decision-making should become
funetions shared by all—not only
students and faculty, but also
people in support positions. If
you work or study in
institution, you have a stake in
what happens. Policy should be
based on consent freely obtained
and distilled through the
democratic processes of
discussion.

The order of priority would be
to serve: 1) students in their quest
for human fulfillment; 2) the
needs of society; 3) the needs of

the techno-structure
‘At present, the order is usually

reversed. A university must do all
three. If it does only the first, it is
a finishing school; if only the last,
a technical institute; and if it only
serves society, it is a totalitarian
institution.

When I speak of serving
students and human fulfillment,
our topic is really undergraduate
education. High priority should be

given to implementing last year’s
report, ‘‘New Patterns of
Undergraduate Education,”
especially the establishment of
diverse experimental colleges. Let
me review two that were
mentioned and suggest a new one.

The Experimental College

This would combine the last
part of high school (two or three
years?) and the first two years of
college. It should be the entry
point for the economically and
socially disadvantaged, together
with the culturally disadvantaged
from white middle class suburbia.

We solve two major problems
with this type of unit: the
articulation of school and college
and the provision of systematic
preparation for university-level
studies to members of depressed

groups.
Educating the children of the
poor, redressing the bitter

injustices of the past, and reaching

equity among all racial and ethnic
groups in the society—this is our
most urgent problem. We have yet
to take that magnificent American
step, the “all-out” effort, New
York State should lead the way.

The General College

This unit should be come the
heart of undergraduate education
at SUNYA. The report envisages it
as a two-year non-departmental
interdisciplinary school,
experimental and innovative in
character, carrying out liberal,
humane education in a
contemporary manner. It is
requested in the 1970-1971
budget.

College of Transnational Studies

To prepare leaders for the
modern world, I propose a
three-year college leading to an
M.A. in. the social sciences and
humanities, with programs in a
variety of fields requiring an
international background. and a
mastery of two or more cultures.

This college would aim - at
producing a bi-cultural person.

Comparative studies, teaching,
international administration, are a
few of the possible areas of

studies. 3
Entrance requirements would

include mastery of two languages,
plus academic achievement,
aptitude and a deep sense of
personal dedication.

Each program would require a
minimum of one year of study
abroad.

More about this at another
time.

Performing Arts

A people-oriented university
should become an active cultural
center. For the Albany campus
this indicates an enormous growth
in the performing arts, especially
theatre, music, and art. We have
some of the finest physical
facilities in the world, and they
should be generously supported
and used with daring and
imagination. The people of the
capital district should feel at
home on their campus all year
round, enjoying theatre,
symphony, ballet, cinema, and a
vast variety of art forms.

Advanced Studies

On the scientific side, and
without science there is no
university and no liberal learning,

I see the concept of
environmental sciences as a
unifying and harmonizing

principle for us in Albany.
Accommodating pure and basic
research within these parameters
presents no great problem; where
possible, I would hope that much
of our research could be related to
the notion of planning and
controlling our environment. We
are already on the right path in
atmospheric science and we are
making considerable strides in
biology and chemistry. Geology
and geography and the planning
sciences need substantial support
above present levels,

Our new Afro-American
Studies chairman, Dr. Nathan
Wright, keeps reminding us that
modern life is predominately
urban and that “cities are
people.” I couldn’t agree more,
Magnificent. possibilities exist for
translating this idea into
university activity and relating it
to the concept of environmental
sciences.

The university should also
become an_ international
community, using many languages
and assisting its members to
become bi-cultural.

A fine beginning has already
been made toward these goals and
much of what I write is contained
in or is implicit in our campus
master plan. The various graduate
schools on campus have a major
and obvious role to play in a
people-oriented university. Social
welfare, education for urban and
suburban schools, the health
sciences, the communication arts
library science, criminal justice,
business, and public affairs, can be
readily unified in common effort
in conjunction with the concept
of planning and improving our
environment. Continued on page 7

rsity for 20 y tt will be a gr

friday may 16, 1969

concerned when he steps down as President this year. The best wishes of the student body will be his, no matter what he may endeavor.

by Jill Paznik

Few others have had the
opportunity to develop the
perspective over this University
that President Collins has from 20
years experience in his position.

From his vantage point, the
primary function of the
University is to provide a free
forum for learning both old and
new ideas.

However, he emphasizes that
“ideas are not static. for
knowledge to be alive it needs to
be transmiteed, taught, discussed
and applied.

“Knowledge for its own sake
gets sterile, precious. It has to be
tested, used, in order to be viable.
It is used in its applied forms in
the professions.

“The big advantage of this

institution, is that it has,
historically, combined
professional and liberal arts

preparation.

“The core is the arts and
sciences with the professional
school based around and
benefitting from this liberal

education.”

READINESS FOR CHANGE

“The 1960’s everybody agrees,
has seen all kinds of explosions
most notably in the areas of
population increase, technology
and human aspirations or
expectations.

“The attitude now is that it
(the world we live in) can be
better, we want it better and we'll
make it better.

“People are ready and more
than that, determined to bring
change. Now we have the
opportunity and implements for
change.

“This attitude has hit here.”

RELEVANCE AND CHANGE
Many students are interested in

and skeptical of the relevancy of
the university to the changes that
are and will be made. Some have
reached the conlusion that the
entire university is irrelevant.
Collins, from his perspective, feels
a little different.

“Courses,” he says, “Don’t
have a relationship to each other
or to the students’ problems
except as he coordinates them in
his own mind.

“Relevance is established when
the student takes a course with
this in mind. A course is relevant
when the individual has a use for
it.

“Students make the course
make sense; the ‘goodness’ or
‘badness’ of a course varies with
the individual’s purpose.

“Students feel the generation
preceding them hasn’t done such a
good job; they are impatient with
the rate of change.

The University Becoming

Continued from page 6

Since language and literature
are among the most humanizing
of the disciplines, they will have a
vital role to play in this kind of

university and should be
intimately linked to our
transnational and multicultural

efforts. In this connection, we
should add to the strength we
already have in Romance
languages and continue to build in
German and Slavie studies. Special
efforts are already under way in
Afro-American studies. Parallel to
these are new efforts in Hebrew
and related ‘languages, as well as
Asian studies, Capitalizing on our
position in the State of New
York, we should take 4 leadership
role in Latin American studies,
with emphasis upon Puerto Rico.
What many people consider the
problem of New York State,
namely its ethnic diversity, is its
greatest educational opportunity
and a source of intellectual
leadership.

Graduate study in the United
States is in a rut, As we develop
new programs at the masters and
doctoral level, we should carefully

reexamine teaching methods,
degrees, and program offerings in
order to bring about radical
improvements in graduate
education. A report similar to our
undergraduate study is, in my
opinion, now needed.

I leave the social sciences until
last, since this is my own field. In
a sense, they can fulfill an
architectonic role and provide an
over-all design for the various
studies of the university. The
concepts of environmental
studies, urbanism,
transnationalism, autonomous
undergraduate colleges, and
human development, relate
directly to ideas and methods
from the social sciences. Another
way of putting this is to conceive
of the university as an inter- and
cross-disciplinary affair, cutting
across ethnic and national
boundaries, pluralistic in approach

and dedicated to human
fulfillment in an environment of
mature self-determination.

On the balance, I would say we
have made considerable headway
since we first assumed university
status, It has been painful at
times, but this is a normal part of
growth, We need also to remind
ourselves that a plurality of goals
does not mean that one cancels
out another; and we must not be
overcome by the complexity of
our task. A great university must
do many things and do them
superbly, with artistry or at least
with high craftsmanship.

“Universities are changing very

up their processes of adaptation
and change; they are becming

TRUTH
The idea that the University’s
function is to uphold the

standards, values, and morals of
the society within which it exists
is, to some, repulsive.

President Collins believes that
the University must, “as well as it
knows how, uphold the standards
of society while, at the same time
subjecting them to critical
evaluation and refinement.

“Tt needs to teach the truth the
best that it knows the truth and it
strive

must to discover new
truths.”
In order to offer the free

intellectual atmosphere necessary

for critical evaluation of
established ideas and values, the
University must be without
coercion of any kind from those
within it or those in the civil
community.

THE FUTURE

Collins now would like to
instruct graduate students in
adminstration of higher education
and personnel services at a
University that offers active
programs.

Of graduates in gneral he
believes the University experience
has aided them in asking more
intelligent questions. “You won’t
be half as comfortable when you
leave as when you came in.”

Right now many of us are

asking the uncomfortable
question Who will take his
place?

The issue of discrimination on

brought to the attention of the

that have stopped construction

The cause of these

The Odyssey Of A Dow Demonstrator : 68-69

by Ed Sih

(Editors’ note: The Dow demonstration and its after-effects has
been all but forgotten by the present student body. It does, however,
leave its mark on some. For this reason we asked Ed Silver to present
their and, more specifically, his own story of the games people

played.)

Well I got kicked out of school
just short of my B.A. and it
certainly didn’t end the bloody
war. However, it certainly did not
end my education either so maybe
it is not all as black as it might
first seem to you academically
obsessed people. Before sinking to
the theory part though, it is best
that I tell you the intricate story
of my bust and the actions
following that finally lead to my
suspension February 28, 1969.

Once upon a time not too far
past (as these things go) the Dow
Chemical Company recruiter
decided
again and the terribly named
‘Student Placement’ Office, which
just does its job, posted a notice
of his visit in the usual place.
Some students signed up for
interviews, they were just doing
their jobs, of course, and some
other people doing their own jobs
took it to the attention of the
school’s anti-war groups. This was
in December, 1967 or January,
1968. These groups began
considering taking measures
against the recruiter’s campus
appearance,

Why protest against Dow’s
recruiter? Briefly: 1) Dow
Chemical Company is
supplying the U.S.’s imperialist
war effort with napalm and other

murderous chemical weapons.
These weapons are new and
spectacularly barbaric, brutal,

disgusting. This makes Dow a
standout among the more
traditional industrial murderers in
our country if the point is

to visit Albany State _

presented graphically enough,
things being as they are.

2) Demonstrations and protests
against Dow Chemical had
precipitated all over the country
on many half ass campuses.
Albany is a particularly half ass
apathetic nothing, but given the
great news buildup for months
and months, it was possible that
even here spirit could be aroused
among ‘student radicals’ to
actually implem ent their talk with
some action. At Albany State
people just do their jobs and do
their jobs and do their jobs so that
anti-war and anti-imperialist
activities are difficult to stir up.
Dow was a golden opportunity,
not to be lightly discarded in
favor of poster making.

1 belonged to no political
groups on campus, because I was
tired of attending endless
meetings and talking pointless
talk, which is where radical
polities is at in this town. I did go
to a few meetings where Dow
actions were discussed and tried
to suggest the strongest measures
people would agree to, but
agreements were few. The night
before the recruiter was to appear
SDS held a big meeting
concerning the coming event.
After an hour or more it looked
like moderation (ie: impotency,
hypocracy, stupidity) was winning
the day so I walked out with a
few others and we all got a better
night sleep than the rest of the
debatees.

Early next morning 1 walked
into the administration building
and found twenty people seated

~gaiust one wall of the corridor on
either side of a door that said
Dow Interviews. I sat down on the
other side of the hall and was
immediately told to leave by a big
fat guy in a very blue suit. He
later turned out to be one of the
campus cops in disguise and he
told me I was blocking the hall.
This was a lie and I appealed to
the rest of the people to help me
out. They said wait so I moved
across the hall with them. By 10
AM the numbers had doubled and,
a group worked up courage to
cross the hall and take both sides.
The fat man couldn’t do nothin
about it. Gee won. After that the
hall filled up quickly with about

Demonstrator’s Odyssey

=. continued from p. 8. .

The notices charged everyone
with breaking a school rule against
blocking students from acess to
legitimate school activities. The

rule had been passed on
administrative initiative by our
puppét-like Central Council

exactly one month before the
protest. They got it in just under
the wire

Two of the letters to
undergrads, including Joe Schyler,
a senior, and myself, also charged
us with entering the room of the
recruiter, a special crime.

Several were never charged with
any infractions at all. Oh well. We
were all of us ordered to appear
before either LAAC judicial
Board, undergrad, or the Faculty
Committee on Student Conduct,
for grad students. We could bring

witnesses, but lawyers were
prohibited.
Someone contacted a local

lawyer, Johnathan Harvey, who
agreed to represent all of us in a
civil case against the school
dealing with the kangeroo lack of
due process recurrent in its
judicous reprisal system. He
advised us to ignore the scheduled
hearings until we were permitted
council, due process, and the right
to express our viewpoint, none of
which seemed forcoming from the
school as things then stood.

Then he went to court and got
a holding order against the school
on March 6. This prevented the
school from taking any actions
against us until the case
concerning due process was heard
in court. The school desisted and
the case came up in County court

on April 17, 1968. It was
dismissed and the school
rescheduled its hearings. The

lawyer filed for an appeal to the

Appelate Division (Court of
Appeals).
Still heeding legal advise

everyone boycotted the hearings.
The boards met and sentenced all
the students in abstentia. Joe and
I were suspended for one winter
semester. The five grad
students—who being older should
have been wiser, spoke the faculty
committee—were suspended for
the summer semester. The rest
were placed on disciplinary
probation for the rest of their
undergraduate years.
Unfortunately, the intensity of
political feelings had been fading
since the point of the
demonstration. Many of the
charged students were already
seared by the idea of school
reprisals—how will this affect my
future employment and all that
shit. As for the other members of
the academic community, some
profs and kids hashed over the
perversity of it all, but nothing
much was done to help us.
Therefore, many of the
students in the original lawsuit
group now accepted their
probation status and quietly
disappeared for the rest of the
semester. Everyone who was
suspended, however, along with a

small number of the longer haired
school people decided to fight the
decision. We were right in our
actions; there was no crime to be
punished for. The lawyer was
unable to get another court order
until we had used up our school
judicial appeal, so we all appealed.
Nobody told us that under what
jrounds we could appeal—I do not
shink that there is such a listing, it
is all probably arbitrary to the
situation, so we wrote a long
letter of appeal all about the
criminality of the war, etc.

This was rejected, but we were
allowed the appeal because the
punishments meted out to us were
improportionately greater than
those given to the rest in light of
the fact that we were all charged
with the same ‘crime’. We were all
reinstated pending this appeal.
For me the appeal did not come
up until early June after school
was out and there was no chance
of trouble.

The appeal body turned out to
be the same group that had
original jurisdiction over the grad
students. It had suspended them
and I really did not expect much
more for myself. I put on my red
shirt and marched on down with
the lawyer, Harvey. President
Collins, reknown for his slippery
ways, had decided to permit me a
legal counsel this time around.

My ‘trial’ lasted about six hours
and it was really a gas. Harvey did
not let me say a word, because
anything I said might hurt the
court appeal. I just had to sit
there while all kinds of strange
nonsense went on. There were
microphones set up and the whole
show was tape recorded, They all
wore suits.

Little Dean Chesin acted as
prosecutor for the school. He
called lots of witnesses and I had
trouble staying awake. Harvey
helped that by objecting
everytime due legal process was
massacred during the hearing. This
happened about twice every
minute and it was fun to listen to.
He was consistently overruled by
the committee chairman, Mr.
Lanni of the Physics Department,
who did not seem to be very
interested in them.

Several of the witnesses
distinguished themselves by lying
about their observations of my
action. The big fat cop in the blue
suit was there, his name was
Officer Rogers and he lied like a
cop. Another cop, Andrew Fitz,
was extremely honest in
testifying, however, so that
evened out. Dean Lois Gregg,
Clifton Thorne’s assistant
surprised me by“her lies. She had
me fling open the Dow door and
force myself in as the first
entering the room.

This is a moot point, true, but
they were only interested in moot
points. It was also false—and since
she was very close and did see
what actually happened, I wonder
why she chose to tell that story.

The testimony all dealt with

whether anyone had recognized ~

me as entering the room in a
‘rude, offensive, or boisterous
manner’. I would have if it had
been necessary, but it had not and
so I had not. Iam usually a pretty
quiet guy, in fact. It did not seem
to me like much was proved one
way or another. Most of ‘the
witnesses contradicted one
another and grinned a lot. Most of
them admitted that it was not me
that they saw, but rather they saw
a fellow with a beard that stuck
out of the whirl because of the
beard. The

committee told me they would
make a decision and that was that.
About six weeks later I was again
suspended.

I was again readmitted at Fall
registration when Harvey got
another court order enjoining the
school from taking irreparible
action against me until the appeal
was heard in Appelate Court, That
finally happened this past
February, a year after the Dow
demonstration, The case was again
dismissed in favor of the school,
and I received a letter kicking me
out. I can reapply next January,
1971,

Right now, lawyer Harvey is
willing to take the case on to the
Supreme Court, but first he wants
$500 to write and research the
brief that would be necessary. No
one seems at all interested
anymore. The

grad stuaents took their
suspensions and went on to
academia. I would fight this
suspension if there seemed to be
any more milage left in it
politically, but it looks pretty
dead politically and I am in no
hurry to get a B.A. anyhow.

So I am out of school 12 hours
short of my. degree. Was it worth
it?What was proven? Well, it is
impossible to say whether it was
worth it all. It gave me an
unusually personal view of how

reflect on the war and on the
whole ugly mess now brewing just
under the surface of the fading

glob of middle class superficiality
out of my system. I do not know
if it was worth it, since after all I
really did not do anything

would be kicked out of school for
attempting to talk to a Dow
recruiter, I could have at least set
fire to a couple of buildings or
something—but it certainly did

It proved that the university 1s

and of acting irrationally and
irresponsably. At no time did my

Perhaps in the screwed up

somewhere doubt and death. I
had rather doubted their
immortality for some time,

It did not seem to prove anything

ON CINEMA

by michael nolin & diana dalley

Tt is a shame that more
publicity hasn’t been given
Boulting Brother’s production,
TWISTED NERVE. The film has
only one name star, a grown
Haley Mills, which is hardly
enough to make movie-goers
break down the doors.

It is indeed _ tragic that a film
such as TWISTED NERVE has to
struggle to break even when
unartistie trash such as THE
CARPETBAGGERS makes
millions simply becuase its
producers have the financial
resources to purchase expensive
advertising. Despite the fact that
TWISTED NERVE will probably
be a box office failure, it will also
_be remembered as one of the best
films of 1969.

The film starts out slowly.
Director Roy Boulting builds
scene upon scene, always giving us
hints at what is to come. The
movie opens with Martin, alias
Georgie, (Hywell Bennet) playing
ball with his Mongoloid brother.

We get insight into Martin’s
character when we see the
dissension in his home life. He
hates his stepfather, and at one
point his overly protective mother
says, “Sometimes I don’t think
you care for anyone.” We don’t
realize the full importance of this
line until after Martin has killed
his stepfather. Then it is
connected with a young medical
student’s comment that a
psychopath is a person who has
no conscience and cares for no

one but himself.
The first 35 minutes of the film
are weak. Their sole’ purpose is to
establish the setting, Georgie’s
character and sickness. The scenes
are often tedious and somewhat
sloppy in their construction. They
are rather unsophisticatedly built.
The camera work in this section is
below standard, occasionally
cutting off the tops of heads.
From the time Georgie picks up
those deadly scissors and the
camera focuses on their ghastly
reflection of the pantry light,
everything seems to pull together.
The Boulting Brothers have
learned their film-making from
watching other films, From here
on out they borrow heavily from

Alfred Hitchcock’s classic,
PSYCHO.
Their best devices are not

original, but are successful bits
‘stolen from other films. The crane
shot in Susan’s (Miss Mills’) home
is right out of CHARLY, although
it is enhanced further by some
sharp, sophisticated editing.
Susan’s mother looks and acts like
Mrs. Robinson with the added
Von Stroheimian twist that she
wants to make it with a
simpleton.

Georgie’s cutting up of his Mrs.
Robinson with a hatchet is shot
from the same angle and precision
as it was in Bette Davis’
STRAIGHTJACKET. It is almost
impossible to watch that closing
sequence of Georgie sitting in jail,

State Fair funds
aid ambassadors

In the midst of the excitement
generated by preparations for
tomorro’s State Fair, a great many
people on campus fail to realize
the very purpose of the Fair itself:
that the proceeds from the event
will be used for scholarships to
bring foreign students to Albany
State for a year of study.

Diversity in its student body
can only serve to enrich a
University. Foreign students on
campus implement an
inter-cultural exchange by living
and studying with American
students. SUNYA’s foreign
students contribute to and also
benefit from campus life.

According to Mr. J. Paul Ward,
the international student adviser,
there are far too few foreign
students on campus today. there
are only 150 students,
representing 40 countries. Of this
number, only ten are
undergraduates.

NOTICE

Chad Walsh, poet, author, and
anthologist, will read and discuss
his poetry at 8:15 p.m. on
Wednesday, May 21, in the
Assembly Hall of the Campus
Center. A professor’ of English at

Beloit (Wis.) College, he was a’

Fulbright lecturer in American
literature in 1957-58.

The primary reason for this
small number is lack of funds. In
recent years the cost of financing
one student’s year of study has
risen from about $1600 to over
$2000.

A scholarship provides the
foreign student with room, board,
tuition, books, linen, insurance
and a small monthly stipend for
expenses; the student must
provide his own transportation to
Albany. ©

Scholarships are usually given

to students from developing
nations.
Selection of scholarship

recipients is the responsibility of a
student-faculty committee
composed of five faculty
members and two students, This
committee meets after State Fair
to determine how much profit
was made and how it will be
distributed among incoming
student ambassadors.

State Fair represents the sole
source of money to finance a
foreign student’s year of study at
Albany State. This State Fair was
conceived with the goal of making
it possible for foreign students to
broaden the dimension of the
University while gaining personal
benefits. Since then, these
purposes have made State Fair an.
annual event.

calling for Susan, without thinking
of Anthony Perkins in PSYCHO.
However, even with the best of
several movies, this film still could
have been unsuccessful, if it were
not for the excellent editing that
tied each of these scenes to the
next, This is obvious in the cut
from Georgie raising the hatchet
to kill Susan’s mother to a
medical chart of twisted blood-red
chromosomes.

As for the acting, all the actors
perform so well that the plot
remains suspenseful throughout
the film. This is not to say it is
too ominous or heavy.
Scriptwriter Leo Marks
thoughtfully provides the
audience with comic relief. His
sequence where the ‘medical.
student diagnoses an intestinal
infection for a woman whose only
malady is an overdose of laxative
can be compared favorably with
Shakespeare’s drunken porter
scene in MACBETH.

All the characters are
ingeniously necessary to the plot
except for Jerry (Frank Fihlay), a
broken-down film editor. Hir
presence is by no means a flaw, as
he also provides needed laughs
with his drunken comments on
sex and violences in films.

Photographer Harvey Waxman
and the other members of the
Boulting staff have a decided flair
for suspense and drama.
Unfortunately, their
routine-establishing sequences are
just that, routine.

Also there is one routine
sequence which is edited out of

order, ‘The reason
for this is unknown; perhaps they

needed what is commonly known
as a “cheat shot” and hoped no
one would notice. It is, however,
quite noticeable.

If it weren’t for flaws such as
these, the Brother Boulting would
have created a minor masterpiece.
Yet even with its flaws, it is still
far above the average as an art
work.

Editorial Comment

Social Knowledge

If the good of knowledge lies in its practical social applications why
do we not receive academic recognition for using that knowledge?

This University has never given credit for tutoring in the South End
or Arbor Hill areas, for work in political campaigns, in student
government, in the newspaper.

It has not recognized the educational function of any of these
activities,

As a matter of fact, the university’s emphasis on ‘ideal’ knowledge
rather than practical or ‘realistic’ knowledge has led many students
away from these socially beneficial services. In order to acheive purely
academic perfection they cannot spend time serving the community
(Academic and outside).

This policy must change and can change by this fall.

Faculty Senate must implement the task force report on
Instruction which calls for recognition of aforementioned services.

By doing so it would be rewarding many for using their education
and social motivation for the good of the community. It would also
allow more of us to contribute in this way /y benefitting ourselves and
this institution.

Department chairmen can add to this prevailing inflexibility by
adding new programs to their departments within which students can
shape their own education. The departmental programs are only a
start. More independent study courses for individual projects should
be offered on the undergraduate level, preferably by the fall.

We are sure professors can aid in this pursuit of knowledge by
innovating within their department.

Students, of course, now that they have had their influence
formalized, may add immeasurable new dimensions to their
departments. They can and must demonstrate their ability to
contribute to their own education.

We hope that the expectations for a more invovled and flexible
institution, next year are fulfilled so that we may be better educated
for the future.

Another Dedication

Today, we formally dedicate this impressive, 104 million
dollar campus. Construction has been completed on the entire body
of the podium (for the while, anyway) and on the quadrangles (we’ll
forget about Indian Quad for now.) Speeches are to be made, mention
of the University’s first 125 years will be repeated endlessly, and
fascinating and captivating predictions will be made for her next 125.

But, STOP. Right now, stop and think...and maybe, even, Isiten.
Dediated to what? for whom?

The dedication of a mass of concrete and glass is meaningless.
Concrete, whether designed by Edward Durell Stone into a campus, or
simply lying on the ground in the form of sidewalks, is nothingness.

What students on this campus should get from this dedication, is,
finally, a sense of dedication themselves. Is it possible that this might
become a dedication far more meaningful than to “Old SUNYA” or
MYSKANIA?

Let us instead, attempt to dedicate ourselves to
awareness and responsibility.

An awareness that tells us that we must do what we can in an
attempt to aid people-- for that is the one variable you must not
forget, even on this mammoth campus.

An awareness that will make us stand up for the rights of
others---and our own personal rights.

An awareness that calls for watching, with interest and concern, as
a new administration will attempt to cope with the universe of
problems that this campus contains.

And responsibility--a responsibility far more important than
chairing an event or running for an office.

A Responsibility to learn, to grow, to experience. A responsibility
to be sure that your mind is not closed to any ideas---old or new.

We see the need for dedication on the part ofstudents as pressing;
we can wait another 125 years for the concrete dedication.

Terrifying Reply

To the Editors:

In response to Miss Rae Ann Harman’s letter of
Tuesday, May 6, I would like to offer my frustrating
and terrifying reply to her charge of apathy and
complaceny.

Close observation reveals that each of the recent
college protests were initiated by those who saw the
crying need for social reform, Outright militancy or
destruction never entered their actions, even though
an occasional building was set afire or a few
shotguns were carried here and there, And it is my
firm belief that the 100 or so students who blocked
firemen from extinguishing a blaze in Brooklyn
College’s administration building were doing so only
to protect the firement from the dangers within.
The clubs and spears that the militants carried were,
no doubt, Mother’s Day projects from shop class.
And what has Albany State to compete with such
news-making events? A blood drive? An educational
and recreational program for the kids in the South
End slums? Pathetic, isn’t it?

Yes, Miss Harman, there is no alternative but to
assume that a college that doesn’t have a good,
old-fashioned riot once in a while is just no damn
good. I, for one, feel that the academic podium
needs a few strategically placed molotove cocktails
and perhaps a brick-and-bottle fight with the police.

News Board

The News Board of the Albany Student Press has
elected a somewhat new slate of editors to forge
into the Fall Semester with high hopes. Kathy
Huseman, currently the Assosciate News Editor of
the paper, has taken over the reigns from Tim
Keeley as News Editor. Her Associate Editor will be
Anita Thayer, a sophomore from Hastings, New
York.

Daryl Lynne Wager and Dave Fink were
appointed to the positions of Arts Editor and Sports
Editor, respectively, for the Fall "69 campaign.

Phil Franchini has stepped down as Business
Manager, but will continue as National Ad Manager.
Chuck Ribak will take his place as Business
Manager.

Technically speaking, Pat O’Hern will continue to
serve the paper in her capacity of Tech Editor. Bill
Shapse, former Technical Co-Editor, has resigned.

Stepping down as Arts and Sports Editors were
Carol Schour and Jim Winslow.

Newly elected Photography Co-Editors were
Marty Benjamin and Andy Hochberg.

All members will take office officially in
September.

‘The Editorship will remain in the same hands as it
has been in this term.

This would serve the three-fold purpose of ending
the war in Vietnam, eliminating poverty from the
face of the earth and reserving page 1, column 1 of
THE TIMES as proof of the interest students take in
world problems. With a stabbing or two, we might
even make the ENQUIRER’

Respectfully,
Howard Tag

Absurd Representation

To the Editor:

Since the position I am presenting appears rather
pro-administration and pro-faculty and since Iama
student, I would like to have my name withheld to
prevent speculation about ulterior motives.

Presently a group of students is concerned with
trying to obtain student representation on faculty
committees, particularly personnel committees. I do
not feel that the Waterman-Rhoads issue, which is
somewhat unique, should be used as a precedent for
one-to-one representation for students on faculty
committees. Fifty-fifty representation is absurd.
Students should be able to communicate their
opinions to their departments since they are
members of the University, who have unique needs.
But students are not the professional or intellectual
equals of faculty members and therefore do not
deserve equal representation.
