SA Pulls Rug From EOPSA

Haber New Vice-Chairperson

by Brent Kigner

Central Council decided Wednes-
day night to hold Fred Stokelin
responsible for $630 worth of carpet
installed last week in EOPSA's cam-
pus Center office, to cancel EOP-
SA's order for drapes, and to un-
freeze EOPSA’s budget. EOPSA’s
budget was frozen last Friday by the
Executive Branch since no SA of-
ficial had signed the voucher; this is
in accordance with Finance Pol
Earlier in the evening, Seth Haber
was clected Vice-Chairperson to
replace Lew Fidler who moved to
Chairperson upon Eric Klein's
resignation last week.

The annual question of EOPSA’s
(Equal Opportunity Program
Student's Association) autonomy
from Student Association was thrust
on Council five months carly this
year as a result ofa violation of SA

nee Policy

Finance Policy requires that
purchases by any SA-funded
organization must be approved by
cither the President, Vice-President,
or Controller of SA. Recently, EOP-
SA ordered from Sears a $200 set of
drapes and $630 worth of wall-to-
wall carpeting, Signed only by EOP-
SA President Fred Stokelin, the
purchase order for these expen-
ditures was presented to Sears and
the carpet was subsequently in-
stalled,

SA President Pat Curran and
Comptroller Jerry Albrect came to
Council Wednesday with a proposal
for the thawing of their budget.
Curran’s motion included, in addi-
tion, provisions that SA disapprove
payment for the carpet and the
drapes.and that SA and EOPSA of-
ficials meet to work out a new set of
budgeting guidelines. Each of the
four parts of the motion, which was
voted on ad seriatum (by section),
were passed.

Asia result, EOPSA will be forced
to cancel the order on the drapesand
Stokelin will be held personally
liable for payment on the carpet. It is
expected that EOPSA will sponser
some sort of donation drive to help
Stokelin raise the $630.

EOPSA contends that, since
Council is made up of “white, middle
class” students, it cannot understand
the needs of the primarily black
EOPSA and thus has no right to
legislate on the group's internal a
lair. Asa result, EOPSA is one of a
very small number of groups that
receive a lump-sum budget. The e
tension of this kind of funding, EOI
SA feels, is that all purchases should
be automatically approved by SA
since subjectivity is inherent in any
SA decision

Most of Central Council, on the
other hand, viewed that it is the duty
of the Controller to approve or dis-
approve all purchases by SA groups,
including EOPSA. When a purchase
is considered extravagant, it is SA's
responsibility to prevent it, explain-
ed some Council members.

Council was practically of one
mind in rejecting EOPSA’s claim
that the group should have full con-
trol over how it spends its money.

Only Jon Levenson, Candi
Mayer, Steve Meyer, Mike Sakoff
and Mark Waldman voted in favor
of having SA provide EOPSA with
the funds for the carpet.

Voting for disapproval of the
voucher were: Lew Barr, Andy

Bauman, Gary Bennett, Kirk Davis,
Maureen Demaio, Andy Dolan,
Lew Fidler, Andy Goldstein, Seth
Haber, Mark Hammer, Roberta
Harwitt, Dave Kenline, Sue Leboff,
Arthur Levine, Rick Meckler, Stu
Simon, Alan Spivak, and Ken Wax.
Linda Shore was the lone absten-
tion,

Earlier in the evening, Seth Haber
was elected Vice-Chairperson of
Central Council, repli
Fidler who had become Chairperson
upon Eric Klein's resignation last
week. Haber won on the eighth
ballot on a 17-6 decision over Ken
Wax. Four other candidates — Gar-

Bennett, Andy Dolan, Andy

and Maureen De Maio

hater dropped out of the contest. It
wasn't until the field was narrowed
to two that Haber, who had taken a
plurality on the seven previous
ballots, was able to obtain the 1wo-

thirds vote required for election.

Reacting to the mandatory dona-
tion in’ the Jerry Garcia-Mel
Saunders concert (for Alton Smith's
Defense Fund), the firs bill to come
up would have prevented student tax
money from being used to raise
funds for charity and prohibited the
inclusion of mandatory donations in
the admission charge to any special
event. ‘The bill was considered too.
broad (it could. have eliminated fun-
ding of Five Quad Ambulance as

was soundly defeated.

mation, a bill in support of the
History Department's appeal of the
State Doctoral Council's recommer
dation for the termination of itsdo
toral program. It passed a bill es-
tablishing a committee to consider

History Professors Remain Quiet
Until Nyquist Decides PhD Fate

History Department members are

the State Dogtoral Council. Co

Crowd Gathers to Not
Hear Thompson Speak

by William Heller

The crowd nearly filled the Campus Center Ballroom ast Tuesday night to
hear Hunter Thompson speak. According to a sign posted outside the
ballroom, Thompson had malaria and could not attend his appearance.

“This is quite an avant-garde event” commented Jim Porreca, a student
here was disappointed and complained, “I can't believe how many people
didn’t come to not hear him.” Rick Meckler, another student said, “It's so
disappointing when we finally get someone of such stature to not show up
and so few people come to see it.”

As it came closer to 8:00 p.m., the time Thompson was scheduled to not
speak, the crowd grew in size, As two students walked in one commented to
his riers, “Maybe we should sit near the door in case we don't like it, Dr.
Phillip Tompkins of SUNYA’s Rhetoric and Communications department
said, “I think thaLwe may have a case of the unreliable narrator,”

At 8:00 the spotlights illuniinated the stage as people in the crowd called
out for silence so they could not hear Thompson better. The mug of beer
which had been placed on a table on stage by a Speakers Forum official

ntained its silence so as not to disturb the absent Mr. Thompson.

As the inventor of gonzo journalism, Hunter Thompson followed its well
known triditions, Thompson finally took the stage and madea poor attempt
‘at an imitation of Ken Wax. It wasat this point in time that the crowddecided
to not show up and filed through the doors, en masse.

Porreca, a student who enjoyed this av
establishment of a “non-speakers bureau.” “Think of all the gre
could not get io speak" he said. “We could not get Nixon and Agnew and a
host of others. We could send out letters saying (as an example), ‘Dear Mr.
Croce, Would you please not come to SUNYA on April 4, 1975, .." Porreca
added, "We charge 50¢ to those who don't come without tax cards, and $1 to
those who don't come with tax cards.” He concluded, “It would all be very
avant-garde.”

Students Learn the Good Life \Open Files CanseConfusion|

CEDAR FALLS, 1OWA—A
pioneering program to introduce
wine and gourmet living to college
students has become a permanent
extracurricular feature after a pilot
project at the University of Northern
lowa here. Organizers of the “Wine
‘n’ Dine” program, the first of its
kind in the nation, say it was in-
itiated to give students training in
social skills,
College Offers More Than The Bars

Program originator Russell
Davis, an amateur chef and wine
lover, started Wine ‘n’ Dine with the
blessing of other UNI ad-
ministrators. “Tight schedules and
limited opportunities often force
college students into drinking and
eating habits that they themselves
don't really like,” Davis said in an-
nouncing the formal adoption of the
program at UNI. “I think it is the
responsibility of college administra-
tion and faculty to offer more ex-
periences than are available in
cafeterias and local bar

To provide those experiences,
Davis began inviting 34 studentsand
four to six special guests from the
University and the community-at-
large euch week toa candlelit seven-
course meal mpanied by
California wines in a private dining.
room of « UNI dining complex. The
program has been so successful that
it prompted the complete remodel-
ing of the two rooms used for the
dinners and other special events,

The six epicurean menus for
students and their guests include en-
trees such as crab and shrimp stuffed
founder, Szekely Gulyas, and breast

of chicken on ham with cahmpignon
sauce. The soup course may be a

consomme or tomato bisque, with

desserts ranging from Black Forest
torte to cherries flambe,

“If we are going to teach students
something about responsible drink-
ing,” Davis said, “then | think the
best way is to introduce them to
good wine with good food, Wine is
the traditional beverage of modera-
tion, and of course, it's most en-
joyableand appropriate when served
with food.”

In a get-acquainted period before
the meal begins, Davis serves a
California wine punch or a hot spic-
ed wine drink, He selects California
wines to accompany the meals and
discusses the subtleties of each wine
with his student-guests. After the
meal, students remain in the dining
area for discussions over California
Sherry or Port.

California Wines More Popular

Davis said his decision to serve
only California wines is supported
by research into the preferences of
young people, He cites a na
series of comp:
tastings of California wines against
their foreign counterparts. In those
tastings, Davis points out, the $0,000
participating young people preferred
California wines six times out of
seven to foreign wines costing at
least twit s much. Davis said the
tastings confirmed California's abi
ty to offer thre best wine valud,

Reaction to the program has been
almost entirely favorable, Davis
reports. He said student response

(AP) The first day of a new law
designed to let students see what's in
their schoo! files brought lots of con-
fusion and little action, ‘

The problems centered over a
provision of the law that seems to re-
quire colleges to let students and
their parents see the complete files —
including things such as confidential
recommendations and evaluations
that previously were kept secret,

Several university officials said
they interpreted the law differently
and had no intention of disclosing
the confidential information, Other
educators predicted that the law —
which gives schools 45 days after a
request to producea file — would be
changed before the question ever
comes up.

The law took effect at midnight
Tuesday and a suit was filed
‘Wednesday aftemoon in U.S. Dit

vent Harvard University from
destroying or permanently removing
confidential information from the
files,

Alan Caplan, the attorney for
several Harvard students, filed a
classaction suit also asking the court
to restore any records alresdy
removed from students’ files,

Daniel Steiner, general counsel at
Harvard, had said earlier that the
school was removing secret letters
from the files because of a “moral
obligation” to respect the confiden-
tiality of documents written before
the law went into effect,

Sapir Promotes “Aliya”

by Sue Leboff
Pinchas Sapir, chairman of the
Jewish Agency, is an energetic sep-
tuagenarian who until his recent
retirement from political lifewas one
of the most powerful members of
Israel's “Old Guard"—the aging
founders of the Israeli Labor Party.
Now, in approved Zionist fashion,
he wishes to devote the rest of his life
to promoting “aliya”, immigration
to Israel. This mission brought him
SUNYA last Thursday after-

The crowd of students awaiting
Sapir's appearance in the Campus
Center Ballroom could have been at
@ synagogue youth group reunion.
Most of the girls were weuring chais,
everyone knew everyone clse, and
the subject of many of the murmured
conversations was visiting Israel.
When Zvi Abbo, chairman of the
Judaic Studies Department and

sponsor of Sapir’s appearance, got
up on the rostrum and led the singing
of “Havenu Shalom Aleichem", a

vival.

While Sapir referred to his own
arrival in what is now Israel in 1929
as a “privilege”, it was apparent that
marly students in the audience view-
‘ed a Vilit' to Isracl as right. One girl
‘asked what Israel could offer in the

Isracl subsidize the airfare for

‘An Isracli who is studying here

‘questioner that as long as he wanted

that he had tried and failed to get

Child Care Agency

Adds the Family Touch

by Andrea Herzberg
The family living at $0 South
Main is a rowdy bunch. The porch
door, minus the plate of glass
Charlie managed to put his hand
through last week, swings open and
within five minutes the house if full
of activity, The kids are home from
the dentist and it's “energy release
time.” A couple of the boys light up
and relax while the stereo competes
with the sounds of wrestling,
laughter, and platformed shoes bop-
ping up the narrow stairways,
None of the kids bear even the
lightest resemblance to each other,
It's a different kind of family with a
formal title: Abba Beth Home Inc.,a

gency.

The home can be described as a
residential treatment center for the
care and sheltering of abandoned,
delinquent, handicapped,
emotionally disturbed, and children
with special needs, all experiencing
difficultiesjathome, in the communi
ty, and in school, But the seven boys
living at Abba Beth have a dim con-
cept of the agency bit. It's their
home,

The boys in the program now
range from 11 to 18 years, They were
placed there by either state agencies,
family court, or troubled families,

“What we're striving for, and it'sa
real struggle sometimes, is to make
these children as close to a family as
possible. This means mother and
father figures and a lot of love and
caring,” said Stan Haluska, co-
founder and now executive director
of Abba Beth,

Stan, 25, has been working with
child care agencies for seven years.
He was a counselor at Albany
Childrens Home when he met Steve
Lewanick who had dropped out of
SUNYA after his freshman year to
work with kids. They both felt that
there is an important need for the
family element which is lackingin es-
tablished childrens institutions, So,
they put their dreams under a title
and started Abba Beth in October of
1973,

‘The philosophy behind Abba Beth
is simple. If you take kids with
problems out of their disruptive or
abnormal living situations and place
them in a regular home environment
with normal expectations, they will
progress and live up to thote expec-
tations.

‘The live-in staff are in their twen-
ties. Despite their age Jan Potens
and Paul Bassler come across as

parental figures and even the
toughest adolescents in the bunch
listen to them, Bods are made, floors
are sweptand the assigned chores are
completed to satisfaction or else
there's a lot of “discussion” at the
Wednesday night gripe

Baha Celebrates
Two Anniversaries

Membersof the Baha'i Faith in Albany have two religious anniversarieson

. November 26 and November 28; both are related to ‘Abdu'i-Baha, son of

Baha'u'llah, Prophet-Founder of the Covenant. It was on this day in 1912in
York City that ‘Abdu'-Baha, during his visit to America, announced to the
‘American Baha'i community that he was the center of his Father's
Covenant—the person who Baha'u'llah promised would lead the Baha'is
after His death.

November 28, the Ascension of ‘Abdu'l-Baha commemorates he death of
*Abdu’Bahaon this date in 1921. ‘Abdu'l-Baha was the eldest son of
Baha'u'llah (the “Glory of God”). He was born in Tehran, Persia (now Iran),
on May 23, 1844, His name means “Servant of the Glory.”

He shared persecution, exile and imprisonment with his Father, and
remained a prisoner in the Holy Land until 1908. He was appointed by
Baha'u'llah in his Will and Testament as the Center of His Covenant, to
whom all Baha'is must turn for instruction and guidance.

‘After release from prison, ‘Abdul-Baha undertook extensive teaching
tours in Egypt and Europe, and spent eight months in the United States in
1912, where he spoke in churches, synagogues, universities, and to
philosophicand scientific societies. His visits were given wide acclaim, and he
was honored by government officials and community leaders throughout the

At Abba Beth these kids are given
the love, care and stability of struc~
tured family life. It is important that
they know what to expect and what
is expected from them, Every night
there is something to do, School
nights everyone is in by 9:30 and in
bed by 11:00, Saturday night is fami-
ly night. The boys decide where they
want to go. It can be a movie or free
bowling provided by this University,
as long as everybody goes,

Monday and Thursday are “out”
nights. Everybody's got to get out of
the house and into the community
for at least an hour. They've made
friends in the neighborhood and a
few of the boys have taken an in-
terest in the girls across the street

Abba Beth, Paul said their reception
wasn’t too bad."* “They thought we
were all dopers but once they found
out what we were doing they calmed
down,” he explained.

There's always someone on duty
with the kids, Jan is a SUNYA un-
dergraduate who started in the
program for Community Service,

She and Paul are co-directors of the
residential staff. The titles exist only
in hopes of expansion because right
now there is no one for them to
supervise.

Abba Beth needs volunteers.
“Anyone interested, we are asking
you to join our family. You'llbehere
for the kids and they know it. That's
what is going to make it work:
people caring.” In this house there is
room for two more residential
counselors. It involves twenty hours
a week in exchange for room and
board. Volunteers for, just a few
hours of one-to-one companionship
per week are also needed, Abba
Bethers explained

Money is tight. The staff is on
retroactive pay and the organization
is about four thousand dollars in the
hole, They pay the rent, ‘eat, and
have furnished the house through
donations by individuals and church
groups. They are trying to get cer-
tification as a state agency, which
would mean money. They want to
‘open more houses so there can be
more families like them.

NOVEMBER 22, 1974

by Kenneth E. Lichtman

With the passing of the record co-
op bill on November 6, Central
Council has suggested that the FSA
Tid itself of the barbershop and open
up the space for a record co-op.

‘The Student Association's posi-
tion is that if a service is student
oriented and loses money it's all
right, but if a service is faculty
oriented and loses money that is un-
acceptable. The thinking behind
such a policy is why should students
pay for a non profit service (such as
the barbershop ), used mostly by
faculty. Therefore, the SA believes
that the FSA should rid itself of the
barbershop in any case, and suggests
a record co-op as an alternative. If
‘not a record co-op something else,
possibly an SA contact office, with
services such as distribution of tax
cards, forms, and other functions.
The SA office would remain as is,
with file cabinets and records.

The idea of a record co-op
originated a few years ago. At the
beginning of this semester David
Coyne appointed council-person
Andy Goldstein to research the
feasibility of such an operation.

Goldstein proceeded to call the
University of Buffalo, which
presently hasan operating record co-
op, to get information on dis-
tributors, the type of help (volunteer
or paid), and other factors involved
with its operation, The U. of Buffalo
has an inventory of $25,000 worth of
records.

Goldstein then contacted a record
distributor in this a the United
States Records Company. The com-
pany said the co-op could start with
4 $10,000 inventory (worth of
records) which may increase to $20,-
000.

The main problem faced by
Goldstein was the question of space;

* where to put the co-op? He first went

to see Alice Corbin, who manages
the space available in the Campus
Center. She said that there was no
space available. He then went to the
Performing Arts Center but was
again met with the answer of no
available space.

Sue Pierce, head of Residence,
said there was room on Dutch Quad.
Goldstein went to see Paiil Doyle,
Dutch quad coordinator. Doyle said
the available room was presently be~
ing used for garbage collection. The
distributor,U.S. Records, said no to
the idea because of the security fac-
tor. It was out of the way for most
people, and the insurance would be
too high. The distributor preferred
the Academic podium because of its
accessibility.

Through communications with
other SA officials, the idea of the
barbershop came up. The advai
tages of the barbershop included its
location (in the Campus Center) and
its size (being large enough to house
a record shop).

The barbershop is contracted by
FSA. It loses approximately $6,000
a year. Its customers are mostly
faculty.

The FSA profits from the follow-
ing
1, Food Contracts.

2. Pinball Machines —
approximately $15,000 a year.

3. Washing Machines
proximately $3,000 to $4,000
ye:

It loses money on the following:
1. Check Cashing—approximately
$14,000 a year.

2. Bowling Alley~-approximately
$3,000 to $4,000 a year.

SHARE THE RIDE

WITH US THIS
THANKSGIVING

3, Barber Shop—approximately $6,-
000 a year.

‘The SA believes that since check
cashing is used by students and loses
money, and pinball is used by
students and makes money, they
balance out. The same with the
washing machines and the bowling
alley. But the barbershop caters
mostly to faculty and few students,
‘The money lost by the FSA is com-
pensated for by thestudents through
the food contracts. The FSA makes
the most money through food con-
tracts, The SA therefore believes the
barbershop should be abandoned
and suggested the record co-op asan
alternative. As stated previously, the
SA doesn't mind if money is lost on
student oriented services, but it does
show concern when money is lost on
faculty oriented services paid for by
the students, Therefore, the
barbershop should be abandoned at
any cost,

The bill which was passed by a 2-1
margin was veloed by SA President

Curran because the statement was
‘not strong enough. Central Counell
recommended that the FSA Board\

‘of Trustees make s motion to

remove the barbershop and replace
it with a record co-op.

Curran suggests that research
should be dome to show the exact
loss incurred by the barbershop, the
number of customers it has, the
make up of its patronage, and the de-
mand for a record co-op. The SA is
now looking into all auxiliary ser-
vices, This includes the washing
machines, barbershop, pinball,
bowling alley, and check cashing.

The bill will come up again before
the FSA board, The record co-op
has to go through Central Council
for funding. Approximately $10,000
for records and $2,000 for adver-
tising and other expenses will be
needed

‘The distributor says that the sales
from a record co-op could increase
as much as four times, up to $40,000
1a year worth of business,

+ Goldstein had hoped that. the
record co-op would be open by next
| semester. If the barbershop ia

it will take the for the barbers to
readjust. It ls hoped that the record
‘co-op will be opened by next fall.

The price of records would be hess,
approximately 20% off. for in-
dividuals with tax cards. The prices .
are also dependent on the amount of
sales, the number of workers,
whether they are working on a
voluntary basis (which would mean
less overhead) or are paid, and the
losses due to theft.

‘There is a student who has already
requested to be manager. Right now
the problem is finding a place to put
the co-op.

Before a final decision can be
made, consideration must be given
to those people who do use the
barbershop, both faculty and
students. The FSA must be sure that
there are barbershops accessible to
the faculty and the students and that
prices are comparable,

Employed under a new program

purpose is to give veterans a face to

problems specifically whereas the

Fenton handles 25 0 30 veterans a
day and claims to be 85% t0 90%
effective in solving their problems,
Tom feels that the V.A, encounters
problems due to the volume of work
and a lack of sufficient staff at deci-
sion making levels, resulting in a
constant backlog of work, As a
result, your initial contact in New
York is only able to writedown your
problem and refer it, rather than
dealing with it immediately.

Volume Of Vet Work Is High

‘The volume of work in New York
is high. They handle over onemillion
Veterans who are receiving all types
of benefits and their work force is
only 200 people. When the work
lond gets great, after the first of the
month, a response to even a simple
problem may take a long time. So
when onehasa problem he may have
a few thousand veterans in line in
front of him, and it takes time to
process all of them.

Fenton said to those veterans
who were given a special payment
due toa hold-up of a check that this
is called a “running award” cycle. If
the check were issued, for example,
on the 1Sth of the month, the next
would arrive on approximately the
same date, not on the Ist of the

involved, so it would be worth it to
leave it alone says Fenton,

It has often been repeated that millions of people, or millions of dollars have no
meaning, simply because no one can fathom the quantity. When millions of people are
dying of mainutrition, starvation and disease, the effect it has is minimal. No one can
help millions of people. Governments can affect millions, but not the .

“Such pervasive logic is indisputable, The “go fight City Hall” attitude
ingrained to be discarded for humaneland intangible goals. Indeed, no one person can
‘effect the lives of millions, but the individualism that once characterized this country
hias been replaced by the paternal caretaker Federal Government syndrome, To change
the lives of the masses, leave the work to the Federal Government. Unfortunately, and
what has been increasingly clear in the past years, Washington is not uveranxious to
extend itself on a long-term project that doesn't reap any immediate rewards for itself.
To help the millions of underdeveloped peoples who today wallow in poverty and face
imminent starvation and death, the direction to turn is within.

In a number of colleges and churches across the nation, yesterday was honored asa
Fast for a World Harvest Day, a day when concerned Americans refrained from eating
for 24 hours—both as a concrete and symbolic gesture to the starving people of the
world, Here at Albany, no such commemoration was held, due in the main to lack of
advance warning. The call to give up a day's meal is none the less strong, because the
world’s starvation hasn't ended by the actions of those yesterday.

It will be immediately thought that one person giving up food for a day will not help
any one in India, or Bangladesh, since FSA will simply |recook the food for another
day. The point however is that for each pound of meat not consumed by Americans,
grain that would have been used to feed those animals would now be released to the
places where it is far more severely needed than here at home,

In addition, it is hoped by the planners of the nation-wide fast, that those fasting
would contribute that amount they would normally spend feeding themselves to the
agencies that have taken it upon themselves to lead the fight against starvation, This
would require that FSA bend the rule limiting fast days to one per semester and accept
another one before the Thanksgiving recess. We would also request that they not

imply give up one dollar for each person fasting, but an amount more closely
approximating the cost of the meals, No one can claim that a one day fast will balance
the world’s food equation, but as in most other charitable gestures, it is a start.

Anyone wishing to contribute their day's savings to the effort may contact Oxfam
America, 302 Columbus Avenue, Boston, or Bread for the World, 602 East Ninth
Street, New York.

Untangling Ma Bell

In what will inevitably be a landmark case, the Justice Department is going to court
to break up the A.T.&T. monopoly, The suit alleges that Bell Telephone systems,
through its ownership, whether in whole or in part of the manufacturing and
transmitting of long distance and local telephone(\ service across the country is an

eliminate competition in all areas of the telecommunications field.

Taking on the monolith of Bell Tel is undoubtedly the most ambitious task that
Washington has ever attempted. The people have been abused by the cartel without
recourse, The company has always been too large for effective control. Only by
splitting up the huge conglomerate/can control of this vital public utility return to
effective governmental management.

Branches and Guns

Yasir Arafat, in his dramatic speech before the United Nations General Assembly
last week said that the Palestine Liberation Organization was not a band of terrorists,
but revolutionaries in the style of the American revolutionaries in the late 1700's. They
are not murderers, but they carry the Olive Branch| of peace and the gun of the
revolutionary

Kiryat Shmonah, Maalot, and now Beit Shean. Palestinian commandoes burst into
residential apartment complexes and systematically murdered its inhabitants, These
are acts{ of outright barbarism, “Terrorist” is too kind an epithet for fanatics who kill
without cause, without distinction. Olive Branch? How long will the world delude itself

Congress’ Myth About Job Safety

Washington—For years Washington
politicians have believed the cruel myth that
having a safe place in which to work is not an
issue which much concerns most citizens, a
myth that each year costs the lives of some
14,000 Americans.

It was not until 1971 that the government
established the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, an agency which from
its inception has been a center of bitter
controversy. Labor says it has not done
enough of the right things, business asserts it
hhas done far too many wrong things.

Both sides are right. At a time when the
agency might have been trying to do
something about the deaths of hundreds of
coal mine workers from black lungand related
diseases, it was focusing a good part of its
limited attention on trying to force even family
owned and run businesses to install separate
toilet facilities for male and female employees,
‘ luxury many of the owners didn’t have even
at home,

So cynical was one former head of the
agency about its effectiveness that he
suggested that former President Nixon use
OSHA's laxness as a means to pry campaign
contributions from small businessmen: Either
Pay up, or we'll sic the federal health and
safety people on you. Praise be to God, that
‘one never made it to the White House.

There is precious lttle else worthy of praise
to be found about the agency. The most
objective studies show that the same number
of workers die each year from job related
accidents and illnesses as before Congress
established the Occupational Safety and
Health Adiministration.

‘This yardstick is an accurate measure with
which (o pinpoint the heart of the matter:
Official Washington continues to pay little
more than lip service to job safety,

However, a couple of recent developments
fead me to believethe picture may be changing
ever so slowly, Metro construction workers,
building Washington's elaborate rapid transit
system, went on strike last week. Some 3,000
workers stayed off the job and shut down
subway construction, Their main complaint
‘was capauled in one picket sign: “METRO

WORKERS DEMAND AN END 10 ON:
‘THE-JOB MURDER”.

Twelve workers have died in the multi
billion dollar project since its inception in
1969, most if not all of them in accidents that
could and should have been prevented had
theic superiors been more attentive to job
safety.

Concurrently, the nation’s coal miners went
on strike in a walkout that will likely ast (wo

retire from a career in the coal mines and have
any realistic expectation of living much

That is why companies pay miners as much
as 50 dollars a day. The work conditions are
such that they have to in order to keep people
‘The question we haven't addressed is whether
a civilized nation should permit corporations

doctor bills most of them have to shovel out
just to stay alive,

The job of dealing with this question, and
host of similar ones in a myriad of 01
industries, belongs tothe Occupational Salty
and Health Administration.

Before reading a review, one should always
know the mood and personality of the author,
Let it suffice to say, that sending me to cover

U was expecting an avalanche of distortion,
prejudice, and Billy Graham-like crusades
against the male sex. What | got was a very
timid and superficial attempt at shaking the
apathetic.

To the ignorant, Women’s Lib represents
dumb broads protesting against men because
they can’t get any, and Helen Reddy singing a
bubble gum song with inbecilic lyrics. I's no
bra, no brains movement based on women's
sexual frustration.

Frustration actually is the key word, but it
has more to do with prevailing attitudes than
with the bed. According to a brochure that
accompanied the films, “All images
surrounding us are images conceived and

Significantly, all the films were made by
women, The intent was to question male and
female stereotypes by showing how women
perceive their world, and to open “a world of
female fantasy,

The first film, "Something Different.” wasa
caricature-like tale of two women. Vera is the

vacuum cleaner, knocks over plants, and

difficult; sometimes she is physically and
mentally abused by her coaches. She
constantly whines about giving up: the workis
too hasd and she’s had to give up oo many
things she has always wanted to do.

Vera and Eva are both imprisoned by their
lives, but with one huge difference: Ev
successful career to show for her weariness.
Vera will always have nothing.

Although the film had a somewhat
worthwhile ifsimple message, some parts were
so slanted that it was almost silly. Some
husbands do actually love their wives.
Bringing up children is not always
synonomous to chasing after infants as if they
were rodents. Many women have successful
careers, in spite of familial burdens.

Eva is held up to the viewer as the career
woman. Just by coincidence of course, Eva
accomplished the mundane act of capturing a
gold medal in tough, world-wide competition,
and gains the adoration of thousands in the
arena and millions around the globe.

Perhaps the only redeeming message in the
film was a line Mashed across the screen and
aimed at all women: “You see, you can really
do it if you try.” ;

‘Or can you? The second film, “Anything
You Want To Be." was a brief, outdated, and

s citizens,

not-so-satirical attempt at showing how male
society maps out every step of every woman's
existence,

Life for females is a constant comedown,
Imaginative games are replaced with dolls,
Hopes for the hight school class presidency
change to class secretarial aspirations.

Intellectual pursuits shift towards domestic
training, Political Science texts are replaced
by cook books. Chemical experimentation
‘turns into the concocting of baby formulas.

Women would like to be
sophisticated,and suave,” continues the film,
Male norms force them into being “simple,
sweet, and synpathetic.” Females want to be
“sexual, cratic.” No, they must be

cultured,”

“elegant,

“Women can't take anything seriously, .
they're silly. . .Women are always late. . A
woman should serve her man. ..Women are
never content, . .etc.”

If the movie had any effect at all, it was
probably as a detriment to the Women's Lib
Movement. A managerie of screaming,
laughing, mocking, and teasing painted an
absurd picture of the women's struggle.

The film depicted a raucous group of
fanatics whose only suggestion for saving the
world seemed to be denying the male sex untit
they ended wars. This would seem to fan the
fire of male chauvinism rather than to drown

re no idea whether the films shown on
the following two days were more valuable

than the three I viewed. Fortunately for the
women'smovement it was not ewential that
‘the films be spectacular. The important thing
is that a weekend fulll of movies, discussions,
and communal meats was devoted to and
planned by women. Pethaps next time, the
movies themselves can elevate &
“consciousness raising” weekend.

The film was made in 1971. It is hard to
believe that it was that recent, The general
notion of unjustified inferior status is one that
should itk most women. Unfortunately, the
film causes one to say, “That is true,” rather
than, “Let's do something about it!”

The third and final film of theevening, “The
Girl's," was based on “Lysistrata,” a 2,000 year
old Aristophanes play. The cliches and
altitudes seemed almost that ancient:

He toliched her face and ran his
fingers over her eyelids, nose, lips
and cheeks. She raised her head
slightly and opened her eyes, He bent
to kiss her neck. Around them the
night was alive, Cars passed by in the
distance; wind shook the trees,

“Let's go to my room,” she
whispered, They left the bridge,
walking down the other side.

They slipped quietly into her
room, It was dark, but she didn't
tum the light on. They fell on her
bed, not saying anything, laying in
each other's arms.

“It feels so good just to fie here,
holding on to you,

“You're right, I feel so safe, so at
peace with everything,”

“L wish 1 could stay this way
forever."

‘They curled closer together on the
narrow bed

“Thisisall happening so suddenly.
J hope nothing goes wrong.”

“What could?”

“1 don’t know. It's just that such
nice things rarely happen to me,”

Don't worry, Just hold onto me.
Please.”

They squeczed each other tightly,
not wanting that moment to pass. If
it could only stay that way forever:
‘warm, soft,and trusting. They rested
there apart from the terrors the
world held, They snuggled together
for a long while, not awake, not
asleep, just floating in a limbo of
security, It was not to last,

The silence was broken by a
screeching of tires, and the dull thud
of metal on flesh. They jumped up
together, not knowing what happen-
ed, Evelyn turned the lights on and
Adam opened’ the’ curtain. They
both looked out at the parking lot
behind the dorms, People were run-
ning to the front of the lot, A car was
stopped with its light on, engine run-
ning, and doors open. The crowd
had ady grown too large for
them to see anything else

“Do you want to run out thereand
take a look?” Adam said.

“No. Ther nothing we can do,
and I'll get too upset. You don't want
to, do you
jo. | guess not.” He closed the
curtains, and pulled the window
closed. Evelyn stood up and began
walking around the room,

“Come back and sit down here,”
Adam said.

get my pipe.”

‘She withdrew a wooden pipe from
her dresser, and began filling the
pipe, crushing the aves into powder
as she sprinkled it in the bowl. He lit
‘a match for her and she took the first
draw. The bow glowed red, and the
tangy smell of the smoke began
filtering through the room, He took
the brown pipe from her, and in-
haled deeply.

‘Adam sat back against the wall
and looked over her room. The walls
were institutionally white, but there
was little of them to be seen. One
wall was completely covered by an
Indian bedspread which was orange
and brown, with red and yellow pai-
sley creatures on it, The other wall
hhad a calendar opened to the wrong
month, some snapshots of Evelyn
and a few other people riding horses,
and a poster of Robert Redford.

“It belongs to my rommate," she
answered before he asked. “I guess
he's cute, but I'm not crazy about
him, He's an alright actor.” Adam
turned his attention to the bed.
There were four stuffed animals: a
blue elephant, a surprised lookin
zebra, a lion with glasses, and a very
sad looking bear. The bear looked
yery old, He was missing one eye,
and his fur was rubbed off in most
places

the light,

her and she opened her mouth to
him. One thing followed another...

Much later she wriggled up arid
moved her mouth near his ear, She
licked it and her tuned to face her. A
quick kiss,

Preservation Hall Jazz Band is a
catch-all name for several jazz bands
working out of The Preservation
Hall. The band that played here was
the Kid Thomas Valentine Band
Kid Thomas Valentine on trumpet,
Emanuel Sayles on banjo, Joseph
Butler on bass, Charles Hamilton on
piano, Louis Nelson on trombone,
Paul Bames on clarinet, Emanuel
Paul on saxophone and Alonzo
Stewart on drums.

They were all experts and in total
command of their music, They alter-
nated between slow and lively
numbers, and when they finished
their last number they had everyone
up and jumping to “When The
Saints Come Marching In.”

Dill Jones opened the show with a
varied program on his piano, con-
sisting of jazz and ragtime. He also
provided, in between songs, a bit of
background on jazz, ragtime, and
the musicians of his time,

'y morning's concert; the last show
ended after three A.M. The arguments of
those who were’ there were-not over the
(undeniably excellent) quality of the
performances, but over which band was
better—Fusion or the Eleventh House.

Michael Urbaniak’s Fusion was the real
surprise of theevening.- Armed with a custom-
electric-solid body-five string cross between a
violin and a viola, complete with pedal’
synthesizer hook-up, Urbaniak created some
interestingly effective sounds, He led the other
members of the band very well, knowing when
‘to step! up front and when to lay back in
thythm.

But the star of the group is Urszula
Dudziak, Urbaniak's wife, whose vocals are
brilliantly, unbelievably beautiful. She has
extrapolated the scat style of jazz vocalists like
Ella | Fitzgerald to its ultimate electronic
conclusion, ‘There were no lyrics, she r
upon her voice as the perfect instrument, an
instrument run through a synthesizer
extend its range and versatility.

Urszula also handled percussion, doing an
excellent job on the electric bongos, but her
voice is the band’s most potent instrument,
Her solos, almost spiritual in nature, left the
audience astounded, wondering just how the
Eleventh House was going to be able to top
this,

But once the five Eleventh House members
wandered onto the stage and launched into
their music, all doubt was gone, They shot
straight up, settling somewhere between
amazing and perfect.

Concentrating on the numbers from their
first albuinifnerdducingrhe-Eleventh House
with Larryicenyeth ttiey dit exterided versions
of “Joyride”, “Yin", “Funky Waltz", and other ,
compositions, most of them written by

mes
Mouzon and Mandel. Jams and solos formed
4 good part of the music. The band still retains
the traditional jazz format of
statement/sol0/statement,. using formal
‘composition only as a foundation on which to
improve and improvise. Throughout the
evening. they were tight, cohesive, and loud,
hypnotic and—along with Fusion— they
finally gave SUNYA an idea of what a really
fine concert is all about..

It wasn't until halfway through the second
show that Coryell stepped up to the mike to
announce solos from Mike Mandel on piano

¢ and drunimer Alphonse

Coryell introduced him, a
genius on the keyboards, He is fast,
unpredictable, original and even comic
(screaming in the midst of his solo, in German,
“Ford ist eine grosse scheisekaup!"). He has
been playing with Coryell, as well as almost
everyone else, for over fifteen years, and in
spite of his blindness he is one of the best
keyboard players in either jazz or rock. Lack
of physical vision does not hinder his musical
vision from extending far beyond that of most
other musicians,

Combining all the diversity, complexity and
unpredictabilityof a jazz drummer with the
power speed and emotion of a rock drummer,
Mouzon gave a solo that at times seemed
reminiscent of Ginger Baker, at times of Cuirli
Palmer, but was finally, uniquely his own,
Coryell describes Mouzon as “the most
superhuman drummer I've ever played with,”
and sitting behind his large array of drums he
does indeed look larger than life. Performing
on two base drums, his foot roll and an
occasional “speciaity"—a sweeping single
stroke roll across the entire drum kit
convinced the audience that Coryell was right.

Assisting Mouzon in setting down a heavy,
solid, background rhythm was Danny Trifan,
bassist. Perhaps not as flashyas the rest of the

group, he contributes a precise, clean bass,
He's good, he's consistent and he’s there:

Mike Lawrence is the relative newcomer to
the group, joining after the Eleventh House
was released, replacing Randy Brecker. With
‘a trumpet, flugelhom:, ring modulator and
‘wah-wah pedal, Ke takes the pllce of a whole
horn section. !and his leads rival anyone's for
speed, accuracy and clarity.

Which brings us to the guiding light of the
Eleventh House, guitarist extraordinaire
Larry Coryell.. He's spent the last decade or so
of his life racking up a reputation and a
following among jazz fans by playing small
clubs, doing’ back-up work for other
musicians, and releasing six of his own
albums. With the Eleventh House, Coryell is
entering a new stage in his career, where he can
sitback and bea member of the group without

.the stress of constantly being in the spotlight.

‘Coryell sees himself as a student, he wants to
learn everything; this is one of the reasons

behind his continued growth as a guitarist.
With each passing album Coryell has
‘expanded his limits,, incorporating what he
hhas learned from other guitarists—he was very
strongly influenced by Jimi Hendrix, most
clear on Lady Coryell

On Friday night he was excellent. People
came expecting him to be fast, loud and good.
He was faster, louder, and better. His leads
were flawless, and healso proved himself to be
an excellent rhythm guitarist.

‘At one point in the concert, as the other
‘members walked off the stage, Coryell stepped
up to the mike and announced “I'm going to
do a guitar solo riow.” Amidst the applause he
picked up a large hollow body F-hole Gibson,
and proceeded to playa slow, gentlesong. The
first time, his performance was marred by
distracting guitar chord that crackled each
time he moved. But by the second show, the
trouble was corrected, and the solo came off
well.

Educating Ourselves

‘An Open Letter:

‘As students of this tiniversity, as Ameri¢ans,
wwe are appalled and we are outraged! There
has been absolutely no response from this
“educational” institution to the status
achieved by the “Palestinian Liberation
Organization” in the United Nations. In view
of current P.L,O, attacks, most recently the
vicious attack at Beit Shean, we are amazed at
the lack of unified response. -

How can we, “educated” individuals,
allow such a situation to exist? Weas students
have the power to effectively protest. In this
decade especially, student protest has proved
to be very powerful (ic., Vietnam).

Murders are not to be compromised with.
Animal minds cannot dictate world affairs
Killers are not to be afforded the status of
diplomats. Brutality is nor characteristic of
siatesmen!

An “olive branch” is to be carried in the
name of peace, not in the name of murderand
brutality.

Facing Reality

To the Editor
We are shocked but not surprised at the
attitude expressed in the letter to the editor
regarding “Unitary Palestine” in last Friday's
ASP by Charlie Meyer. Just as the facts
relevant to the conflict in the Middle East are
being misconstrued by representatives of the
nations of the world at the U.N., we find the
same error here in Albany
Does the Palestinian
Organization in fact represent a political
reality? No. It is a tool of the Arab leaders in
their ultimate goal of the destruction of the
state of Israel. As seen in the ten-point policy
jementadopted by the Palestinian National
Council, in Cairo, on June 1-8 1974, the PLO
will stop at nothing short of eliminating Israel
It reaffirms that peace is impossible without
“restoration of full rights of our Palestinian
People particularly its rights to repatriation
and self determination on its entire
soil." This leaves no room fora |
Any such
establishment of a mini-Pal entity
were explained by Arafat as a “phased policy
which makes us hold back various projects
and formulas and impels us to reconcile what
is currently possible with our ultimate
strategic objective." (Le Monde, Dec. 5, 1973)
How can we believe that the PLLO's goa! isa
“democratic, non-sectarian, unitary
Palestine” as Mr. Meyer wrote, when the PLO
itself regards democratic procedure us
unnecessary? The PLO does not represent the
“Palestinian People.” There is no evidence
that the PLO represents.

oppressors who are subjugating them
economically and politically, It is the

Ripping Them Off

'To the Editor:

In his denunciation of PIRG's proposed
mandatory/refundable contribution ‘plan,
Ken Wax (ASP, Nov. 15) hits the nail right on
the head, What was that PIRG slogan’? “Fight
power with power”. How about “Fight ripoffs
with jtipoffs"?

PIRG leadership knows very well that some
students don't care to donate to their noble
organization. Why should these students have
to trek over to the Administration Building
and play games at the Bursar’s window just to
regain money that they did not wish to
contribute in the first place? The whole idea
reeks of arrogance and self-righteousness,

Sure, three thousand SUNYA undergrads
petitioned for voluntary funding of PIRG. But
how many would have signed if they/knew
the PIRG definition of “voluntary”?

‘And then the real joke, The ASP, that
stalwart defender of students’ rights (real and
imagined), supports the
mandatory/ refundable proposal. How about
the student's right to reject this petty
shakedown? Well, ASP likes PIRG; so for the
time being, principle accedes to what's
“practical. As John Roche said recently, it all
depends on whose ox is getting gored.

Supporting PIRG

To the Editor:

This letter is in response to Ken Wax's letter
of November 15, in which he advocates
voluntary funding for NYPIRG,

Mr. Wax fails to realize that the method of
fund collection is irrelevant now, What
matters is that students havevoiced a desire to
support NYPIRG (as evidenced by the
response to last year's petition campaign) and
that monies should be collected in the easiest,
most expedient way. A voluntary collection
system would be a waste of time, since the
soliciting of funds from students would
expend time, effort and money which could be
devoted to consumer-related projects,
Compounding the problem is the fact that
door-to-door soliciting is prohibited on
campus. NYPIRG would be virtually
powerless to collect funds froma student body
which has expressed the desire to support and
fund it,

Yo operateeffectively, NYPIRG must hirea
professional yyers, coordinators, etc.)
to assist the group in its work. It would be
impossible to employ a professional person if
the group had no stable funding base, What
job security could NYPIRG offer such a
person?

‘Another misconception held by Mr. Wax is
that NYPIRG has asked to be budgeted via
the mandatory/refundable system. This
option has been abandoned; the group realizes
that such a system s infeasible at this ime, and
is in the process of finding an alternate means
of fund collection

Mr. Wax compared NY PIRG tosuch social
service organizations as Red Cross, Heart
Fund, and USO. He argued that, since these
groups were able to function effectively
through voluntary funding, NYPIRG should
be able to do the same. It should be
understood that this comparison is not a valid
one; in addition to providing social services,
NYPIRG is first and foremost a student-run
group which functions to give students the
opportunity to effect a chunge in society.
Students run the local board, decide which
projects they will undertake, and benefit from
the experience they gain in the areas of
investigation, lobbying, organization, etc. In
addition, many NYPIRG members are

incorrect,
In requesting student

overwhelms the campus. Is this an

Dear Bruce:

have decided to join it, This incident
demonstrated two things: |(1) as a guardian
for faculty interests, the Senate is bankrupt;
(2) the only effective faculty voice on campus
is now the Union,

I've never really been an advocate of
collective action; at heart I'm an individualist.
However, the combination of administrative
weaseling on the parking problem and student
‘attacks have finally convincedme there is no

far more effective public relations campaign
than anything you could possibly have

“Get your hands off me,” I said to History
Department Chairman Joseph Zacek, “or I'll
putich yout fuckin’ head off.”

What prompted this comment was the
poking of Dr. Zacek’s finger in my eye, with
force, deliberate and painful, The place was
his office, the time, 2 p.m. Monday, the topic
tunder discussion, the possible suspension of
the History Department Ph,Dy program by
the State Education Department, It was a
brief discussion. :

“Get the fuck out of here,” Zacek said to me,
in a rage. Then he shoved hisfingers in my eye,
‘and pushed me out the door, Archie Bunker
‘couldn't have been more eloquent,

To place this incident in historical
petypective, the day's events were as follows:
Last Friday I had arranged for a meeting with
Zacek to discuss the Ph.D, situation, (My
astociation-at the time was not with the ASP
but with another local paper.) His secretary
scheduled a meeting for Monda

On Monday | was told by Zacek’s secretary:
meeting cancelled, all inquiries referred to
Vice President Sirotkin. Another reporter and
f.went to Sirotkin's suite tose if wecouldhave,
‘an immediate meeting with the Vice President,

“gees aie

ight To Know, Or How To Get Poked Off

No, his secretary sald, there could be no
meetings today. .

“Listen,” [ told the other reporter after this,
“Ill go and se¢ if anyone in the History
Department will say anything. 1 know some
professors from class.” After explaining the
situation t0 two professors — including the
refusal of the Chairman to say anything —one
eacher agreed to talk, as long as he was not
quoted. ¥

We had just begun conversing, when into
the professor's room burst Zacek, He was
furious, “Didn't I tell you to get the hell out of
here and talk to the Vice President?” He
ordered to professor to. say nothing, and
demanded all other teachers do the same,

“Don't worry I never say anything,” called
one history professor from his room.

Tdidn't want to get any professor in trouble,
so Heft the offices abniptly, and walked out of
the building. But halfway out the door 1
stopped and thought: This is bullshit. By
preventing me from questioning any
professors, without any explanation, Zacek
was at the very least, overstepping his
authority as Chairman, and possibly violating
my constitutional rights.

So I went back to see Zacek to complain
about his treatment, and to ask about our
cancelled meeting. In reply to my questions,
Zacek poked me in the eye,

The Environmental
Decisions Committee

by Roger Radick
Have you ever wondered whose idea it was
to put,those frustrating but effective bumps of
asphalt on campus roads? Who decided to
restore the campus marsh to the campus
pond?
‘Our university has a cross representation of
iministrators, professors, non-teaching
faculty, and students that meet onceeverytwo
weeks to discuss and coordinate strategies for
solutions to every day campus problems. This
Environmental Decisions Commission (EDC)
was established in the spring of 1971 to
incorporate rational environmental reasoning
in all aspects of the university, i.c., energy
utilization, —aesthetics,| communication,
transportation, safety, and recycling.
.Along “with estabishing speed control
bumps and giving the campus pond a facelift,
the EDC has been responsible for the removal
@f the Mohawk Campus billboard, reduced
pond pollution by reducing winter road
salting, organization of a workable paper
recycling program, incorporation of energy
‘conservation ideas, and the creation of
campus “forever*natural” areas. Because'the
IEDC has members in almost every level of

university fife, from students to
administrators, it has the potentiat to view
campus problems from a wide variety of
perspectives. With this overview of campus
problems, a comprehensive plan of action can
be instituted.

The EDC has both a monitoring and action
initiating function, Since it hasno budget of its
‘own, its research projects are carried out by
students with cooperation and assistence from
faculty members and the various university
departments,

“Throughout this semester, the EDC will be
considering solutions (0 campus poster
pollution, jogger and bicycle hazards and
safety on campus ronds, the possibility of
converting cafeteria food waste into fertilizer
by composting, and the dangers of a purely
permissive attitude towards smoking in the
Lecture Centers.

If you notice campus environmental
problems that could benefit from our
consideration, we could appreciate being
notified via @ letter or call to the commission
co-chair-persons, Lou Ismay or Roger
Rodick| in the Environmental Forum Office,
Fine Arts Building Room 218, 457-3913

After exchanging pleasantries, 1 walked

back to Sirotkin's office, where I'stormed in.

‘on one of the Vice President's meetings. “I
‘want (0 speak with you tight now,” [ told him.
Sirotkin and I discuissed the situation, and
he apologized (conditionally) for the History
Department Chairman's behavior.

“Thank you,” 1 said, “but J want his
apology, not yours.”

Later that day, Zacek called me up at home.
“1. wish to apologize,” he said, “with
misgivings.”

Besides feeding my already inflated hero-
martyr complex, and leading to some funny
lines, (“Why don't you write a book, All the
Department Chairman's Men, a friend
advised) { saw a more serious implication to
the incident, Whether with force, or with a
smile, the SUNYA administration is always
giving the campus press the finger.

The view of the journalist as the enemy
predominates in the administration.
Protecting their offices as if they were sacred
domains, administrators seem to believe that
the only people they are responsible to is other
administrators. Dr. Zacek was only
expressing violently a common feeling among
administrators towards journalists: get the
hell out of here, this isnone of your business.

Community, affairs of the school are of
importance, If the History Department has

been publicly discredited, itis at! our concern.

‘With bureaucratic rigamarole, administrators

often prevent the campus community from
finding out the entire story.

‘Then, the administration has the colossal
balls (as Nelson Rockefeller might say), to
accuse the ASP of presenting wrong
information. It's a pathetic joke.

For example, Zacek later explained to me
that he could not talk, because the fate of the
Ph.D, program was still in jeopardy, and our
chances would be hurt if any “sour grapes”
statements were attributed to professors or
administrators, Fair enough. Why then was
his first reaction to shove me out the door?

It was an act of temper, stupid but
meaningless, provoked no doubt by the
tension within the Department. “We are
responsible here for many professor's jobs,"
Zacek explained to me later in a cooler
‘moment; in other words, by writing a story 1
would put men out of work.

Nonsense. If anyone will put men out of
work it is administrators who worry more
about their public relations image than
academic achievment, One week ago | might

a big orange “NO CLOSED COURSE CARDS!" on the door. Put my lighter to it and kicked
the door open while it was flaming. His office was empty.

‘The secretary caught up with me and started screaming hysterically.

She was frantically dialing the phone.

“LISTEN TO ME! I want to know where he is, Do you understand?” My hand tightened on
her throat for punctuation,

“A-A-A meeting!” she trembled.

“Why no, this is the President’s office. What you want is

My entrance raised a wave of questions which were soreamed at me from around the table,

“SHUT THE FUCK UP!” | mouthed, and my muteness confused them. | continued
screaming “silence” until the whole bunch had shut up.

: Foothall Review

‘The footbell’ season was only minutes old, but Albany's footbalt
coach Bob Ford was already planning for next year,

He spoke to his undefeated team in the lockerroom after the Danes’
‘season finate win over A.P.I., setting his sights on next years’ Lambert
Bow! and the NCAA Division Il! football championship. “I want to go
to Alabama (site of the Stagg Bow! for Division IliChampionships
before I retire,” sald Ford.)

If the Danes can put together a season like this next year, they should be
strong candidates for a bid to the Stagg Bowl,

Albany played devastating football, as the Danes well balanced
offense and defense always managed to rise to the occassion. The
offense was often brilliant. John Bertuzzi proved himeelt as. true field
General, successtully directing the wishbone offense. His backup,
‘sophomore Dave Ahonen, filled in ablely when Bertuzzi was sidelined
with a broken thumb.

Halfbacks Marvin Perry, Orin Griffin, and Glenn Sowalskie had fine
seasons to compliment star fullback Tommy DeBlois, as the Danes became
the number one team in rushing yardage in Division III.

As for Tommy DeBiols, what more can be sald about the man who
broke the 1000 yards gained mark on the last play of an undefeated
season. Time and again, It was DeBlois up the middle, eating up those
yards, and when necessary, that clock.

Bertuzzi went to the air with greater frequency this year, finding Bob
Baxter, Don Whitely, and Tom Cleary often alone, as the defense keyed on
the Danes’ ground game, Baxter, in particular, proved himself to be a first
class wishbone split-end.

Perhaps it was the offensive line which was the real collection of
heroes, as they opened up the holes for the runners, and protected
their quarterback, game after game. It Isa tribute to them that DeBlols
gained that 1000 yards, and the Danes unleashed a powerful offense.

Though the defense did not record any shutouts this year, they remained as
tough as their predecessors of previous years, When the offense stalled, the
defense was always there to pick up the slack, and keep the Danes in the
game,

‘The defensive line was superb. Anchored by Rudy Vido, Frank
Villanova, Dom Paganio, and Tim Myers, opponents found that a
running game was impossible versus Albany (Recall the Danes’
Goalline air? OdFekad WIP I:y19r11% ah 8

Mf the defense had any faults, they centered on stopping the acrial attack,
‘The Danes were vulnerable there, but always managed to come up with the
big play, Ford's philosophy in defending against the pass has been, “To keep
things in front of us, and let the opponents cough the ball up. ! would trade
seven completions for one interception,” This philosophy worked, as Albany
intercepted 28 passes while allowing only eight TD tosses. Ken Schion,
Donnie Mion, Amie Will, Skip Scurry, and Billy Brown were among those
who, time and again, pressured poor passes by opposing QB's.

‘The Danes introduced something new in their kicking game - Al
Martin, abona fide field goal kicker. Though inconsistent at times, he
gave the offense anew dimension, and proved tobe the most valuable
addition to the squad. Mike Marrin, the other hall of Aibany's foot-
team, had a strong punting season, especially versus Hofstra, where
he recorded an 85 yarder.

‘Albany's 9-0 record was the first perfect mark for a college team in this area
in sixty years. Unfortunately, the Danes were caught with an easy schedule,
and paid the price in the Lambert Bowl Ratings, where they finished seventh,

“There were a lot of legitimate reasons for us not getting a bid,” said Ford. “If
‘we can go 9-0 again next year, we will be logical contenders for a bid.”

With a schedule that includes top ranked Ithaca College, and such
other eastem powers as Southern Conn., Norwich, and Albright for
next year, another undefeated season would send the Danes packing
‘on the road south.

But it will not be easy putting together anther undefeated season.
You have to be lucky to go 9-0. The Danes had few injuries this year, a

Off into the future, and perhaps, a Dallas Cowboys’ uniform.

Vido was the leader of the defense. He came to reprosent Albany Sate
football, and will be hard to replace.

The Danes willalso lose defensive end Tim Myers and defensive tackle Dom
Pagano, so Ford will probably be shopping around for some defensive
linemen this winter. Donnie Mion, the Danes’ number one linebacker, and
Teddy Robinson, a valuable defensive bi will also take their diplomas
with them in May.

It Is a tribute to the program that the Danes have come this far in a
mere five years, two as a varsity team, “The loss of Vido and the others
will hurt,” sald Ford, “But that {ust goes to show how farwe have come
- we are not going to be able to replace our ballplayers with better
people.”

Nobody knows how far the football program will go. Much of the credit to
the team’s current and future success must be given to the coaching stall
Most of the coaches are graduate students, who do not get paid for their
work,

As for Coach Ford, he Is truly a remarkable man. He has bullt a strong
tern football power fromnothing Ina short time. Lacking funds and
Scholarships, Ford has successfully compensated for this through
hard work and dedication. He treated his players like champions, and
they responded accordingly on the tleld.

by George Miller

The Albany State Cross Country
‘Team has finally closed the book on
what has been their longest and, in
some aspects, their most productive

year.

‘Coach R. Keith Munsey guided
the harrier squad to a new record in
the area of dual meet competition,
‘going 12-1. The only set-back was to
‘a top calibre Syracuse team. At the
same meet, Albany hit one of their
high points of the season by upset-
ting Army.

The final meet of the season was
the 13th Annual ICA Varsity
College Division Cross Country
Run on Monday, at VanCortland
Park, Bronx. SUNYA placed 13th
out of 38 teams.

Co-captain Vinny Reda came on
to cap the year with a super in-
dividual performance, finishing 4th
out of 245 finishers. Vinny, who
came away with IC4A distinction,
covered the soggy 5.0 mile course in
25:33.0. Second for Albany was
Chris Burns, who was able to grab
47h with a 26:34, while Carlo
Cherubino came in on Chris's heels,
Sist, with a 26:39.

Reflecting, Coach Munsey said,
“It’s been a good year, highlighted by
the wins over Army and Colgate.
Also the fact that we did come home

with an All American and IC4A
tunner for the second year ina row.”
Indeed, there were many in-
dividual and team highlights this
past fall. The strong first half of the
season allowed the varsity to rack up
7 shutouts (i. first five places taken
by Albany runners, three more than
any previous season) Although the
Danes failed to win one of the “big
meets”, they nevertheless faired well:
SUNYAC’, 2nd of 10, Albany In-
vitational 3rd of 19, Upstates 2nd of
11, NCAA's 19th of 41, and then
13th of 38 in the IC4A’
Season's Highlights
If one wishes to look for a real
highlight from the team’s point of
View, they must certainly have been
the defeats handed to Army and
Colgate. Not only was it a personal
ral of the runner, but
over these “big time
schools” prove that Albany's cross-
country team could handle the tough
competition schools of this classand
could win
Individually, it was a good year,
especially for Reda, Burns, and
Cherubino. Reda, by his own admis-
sion, hit his personal emotional peak
at Colgate, where he placed first.
Vinny also won All American
honors and set a new record on the
Albany course for a State runner,

~~ Runners Close Season

25:11 in the Upstates, Cherubino ran
a 25:21 in the same meet to take
third, and Burns finished sixth, via
25:38 in the Albany Invitational, As
far as place rankings within the team
in all meets (i.e. who had the best
finishing average), Reda was first,
Burns second, and Cherubino third.

Things began to look bad for the
harriers around mid-season, just as

of this Doug Van Zet and Steve

have been.

In the area of recruiting Munsey
said, “We're getting more kids to

‘While the football team has been
attracting most of the attention of
the campus, the Albany State
basketball team has been quietly get-
ting into shape for their December 4,
opener at New Paltz.

Coach Richard “Doc Sauers
‘once again had to perform major
surgery on his team as fowards
Byron Miller, Harry Johnson, and
Reggie Smith are all gone.

‘Sauers will be going with a three
guard offense to take advantage of
the team’s strength—four first class
backcourt men. Albany will use a
running offense to take advantage of
the guard's speed. This should prove
quite pleasing to the fans, as the run-
ning game is more exciting,

‘The Danes will not be using a
pivot man, but instead plice' their
two forwards at opposite comers,
The bulk of the rebounding and
much of tHe scoring will fall into the
hunds of senior, captain, Pete Kola,
who iy the Danes only returning
forward. Pete appears to have com-
pletely recovered from his year-and-
a-half tayoff, He isa good all-around
player and he contributed much to

s Hopes on Three-Gu:

Albany's late season drive last year.
The season will depend'a great deal
‘on how well Koola plays.

The other starting forward spot is
still up for grabs, between Tom
Morphis, a transfer from Merrimack
College and Bob Audi, up from la
year's 17-3 junior varsity.

Morphis at 674” is the biggest man
on the squad, “If he can rebound, he
will playa lot," said Sauers, Morphis
should improve as the season
progresses, as he has sat out a year
because of NCAA eligibility re-
quirements, (Transfers must sit out
one year after transfering to dis-
courage intercollege recruitment).
Heis strongly built, but must show a
little more aggressiveness under the
boards. Morphis has a good inside
shot and he has been improving on
defense.

‘Audi was the leading scorer on last
year's junior varsity. He isnot big, as
forwards go, but he makes up for this
with hard work. He has a good out-
side shot and picks up many “gar-

bage points” thanks to his
aggressiveness.
Because Sauers will be using a

three guard offense, all four of the

Friday, November 22,1974

Dane guards will see plenty of ac-
tion.

Ed Johnson was the Danes third
leading scorer last year (12.2)and he
has been working very well in prac-
tice. “He's going to have a great
year,” said Sauers. “He will be able
to use his great speed when we will be
running.” Johnson was plagued by
inconsistent play last year, but Doc
feels that he has matured this year.
Eddie will be counted on heavily to
ive the Danes some scoring punch,

Rich Kapner doesn't shoot as well
as the other three guards, but he may
well start because he does so many
other things on the court. He gives
the team some much needed
steadiness, as he isa team ballplayer,
During the two scrimmages the
Danes had, Rich has been quite
effective in sparking the offense after
coming off the bench. He has also
worked well in the Danes pressing
defense. Kapner has been prone to
injuries and he is currently nursing
two sore shoulders. If he can stay
healthy, Kapner could have a great
say in the Danes conference title

hopes.

Mike Supronowitz has the best
outside shot on the Danes and
should hit fifty per cent of his’shots,
His big weakness has been his
defense. The Danes’ fastbreak
offense should also help his game, as
he isan excellent running baliplayer.

Gary Trevett was one of the most
improved players on last year’s
squad. His job has been to bring the
ball up court, He is a good shooter,
but must make a better selection of
shots, Trevett probably will be play-
ing forward on defense, as he has
height (62")and strength, something
theotherslack, During the two scrim-
mages, Gary pulled down his share
of rebounds, If a forward guards
him, he will try to take his man in-
side.

Because four of last year's five
starters on the junior varsity decided
not to go out for the varsity squ:

Kevin Keane, a freshman at 63", will

He's also got a good outside shot.
Dave Lanahan, who was backup

proved greatly and could see some
action at forward, Mel Brown is the
backup guard, but because of the
four, guards in front of him, he
doesn’t figure to see much action.
Pre-season scrimmages

The Danes scrimmaged Hartford
College and AIC, Though they out-
scored: their opponents in both
games, it is difficult to evaluate
Albany's performance because the
‘other teams were doing a great deal
of experimenting, Doc will beable to
get a better gauge when his team
faces Colgate in a scrimmage Sun-
day

years’ squad.

Albany is in the tough SUNY con-
ference. Buffalo State, Brockport
and Oneonta appear to be the con-
ference favorites, Potsdam, last
year's conference champs, should be
weakened by the graduation af Mike

Deane,

Highlighting the 74-75 schedule is
rival Siena College. The Danes have
the unenvyable task of facing the
highly rated Indians twice at Sicn’s
new field house. Hartwick College,
who played in last year's New York
State Regionals, should provide
equally tough competition

The Danes open their season at
New Paltz, December 4, and then
return home the following Saturday
to face Cortland College. “I don't
know how good we are." said
Sauers, adding, “We are capable of
heating anyone’

Big Three Are Key to Wrestlers’ Success

With the arrival of the cold
weather the sports world turns its
eyes indoors, and Albany State
wrestling fans can expect good
things this winter.

Veteran Coach Joseph Garcia has
@ powerful nucleus to work with,
consisting of twelve returning
lettermen from last year's varsity.
Coming off a season which sported a
fine 12-2 record, imporvement on
such a mark would seem difficult.
Albany has, essentially, the sume
schedule, The wrestlers all have an
extra yeut's experience under their
belts. In light of this, bettering last
year is a definite possibility,

Mims Retums

Anchoring this year's varsity is
SUNYA's most outstanding
wrestler, senior Larry Mims. Mims,
who competes in the 142 Ib, weight
division, placed Sth in the NCAA
Division 111 national finals last year
and will be looking to improve on
that in March, Another key figure to
watch is two time SUNYAC Con-
ference Champion Rudy Vido, the
Danes star heavyweight, Also, keep
an eye on the 190 Ib, class with Don
Mion,

“We're set preity well this year,
says Assistant Coach Ron Behe,
“We have @ good shot at at least

three champions in Vido, Mims, and
Mion. At the minimum those three.
We'd expect other kids in there to
place, so we'd have a good shot at a
tein championship (ic. at the
SUNYAC's)

Basically, as mentioned, the varsi-

ty will be wrestling the same com-
petition as last year, New additions
fo the season, which runs from
December 7 10 March 8, are Univer-
sity cf Massachusetts (Feb. 4),
Potsdam (Jan, 18) and Southern
Conneticutt (Jan. 25). Other then

Wreetiers grapple with tack of bettering leet years’ 12-2 mark. Among the retuming veterans are

these three, some other schools
Albany will face are Dartmouth
(Dee, 7), Cortland (Dec. (1),
Fairleigh Dickenson (Jan, 21) and
W. Post (Feb. 8). Albany's main
competition in the SUNYAC's
should come from Potsdam, Os-

Larry Mims, Rudy Vido, and Donnie Mion, The Grapplers open their season at home, December 7,

and Dartmouth,

wego, Brockport, and Cortland.

In the area of tournament com-
petition, the Danes will travel to
Boston over the Christman holidays
for the Massachusettes Institute of
Technology Tournament, At the end
of the year, there is the SUNYAC
Championships at Oneonta, New
York State Invitational atR,1.T.and
the NCAA Division Ut finals at
John Carroll University in
Cleveland, Ohio,

One {oss over the summer that
hurt Albany was that of Walter
Katz, He decided not to return to
school, thereby leaving a weak spot
in the 118 Ib, class. Other then that
prospects look strong down the line.
In the middle range (150-167) a real
battle is developing as o who will
wrestle

“We've got depth from 150 on up
in case of injuries," reveuled Behe,
which is going to make the person
wrestling really tough, because we
haye wrestle offs to see who'll go.
We're going to have to wark. We
won't be able to loaf a bit.”

As of now, the preseason outlook
is definitely a bright one, and we
won't have to wait long to see how
good it actually is, The wrestling
