Research Grant
Policy Discussed
By Pres. Collins

President Evan R, Collins com-
mented on the University policy
concerning private and govern-
ment research grants offered to
the University at Monday’s Pres-
ident’s Conference with students.

He stated that according to
the present policy the University
will accept no contracts whose
findings are of such a nature as
to be classified.

He stated that this policy was
in accord with a statement, drawn
up last January by the Faculty
Senate Committee on Faculty Re-
search, which stipulates that any
funded research involving faculty
shall carry the stipulations that
all findings can be published,

Collins also referred to mis-
understanding over the Univer-
sity’s part in Project Themis, a
project designed to “developnew
centers of excellence to provide
new opportunities for research
in the hard sciences.”

He stated that all Themis re-
search is to be unclassified ma-
terial ‘so that the results may
be published,” thereby meeting
the present University standards,

The University is presently
working on eleven projects of
Operation Themis, mainly in the
field of atmospheric science.

An announcement was also
made of a new policy statement
handed down by the University
Committee to Draft the Univer-
Sity Alcohol Policy dated Jan-
uary 4, 1968,

The policy concerns the sale
and service of alcohol in the Pa-
troon Room, the Rathskelter, and
at the Mohawk and Dippikill pro-
perties. Gee Page 11.)

Vice President of Studéht Af-
fairs Clifton C, Thorne also an-
nounced the formulation of a new
Kosher food plan by the Student
Affairs Committee in coopera-
tion with the Hillel Society (see
also page 6 for policy.)

Questions were raised as to
the new policy of running the
last buses at 12 midnight on
a weekly basis. Collins comment
ed that it was originally intend-
ed that the head of the Trans-
portation Service would revise
the bus schedule in order to
provide more buses at prime
time,

Negotiation Changes
Rejected by Faculty

by Tim Keeley

In recent months there have
been attempts to change negotiat-
ing conditions for the faculty of
the State University,

Currently the Civil Service
Employees Association, the
Faculty Association of the State
University of New York, and the
Empire State Federation of
Teachers have applied to the
State University Faculty Senate
for the right to represent the
faculty in collective negotiations
with the state.

Under the Taylor Act, passed
in 1966, state employees were
given the right to collective ne-
gotiations with the state, All em-
Pployees were included in this law
except professors at the State
University and state troopers,
because they already had means
of negotiating with the state,

The Statewide Faculty Senate
has asked each local branch of
the University to determine if
the faculty members prefer the

present arrangement of negotia-
tion, or whether they desire
collective negotiation with the
state under the Taylor Act.

The Faculty Senate at Albany
prefers the present arrangement
of negotiation between the State
University Senate and the Cen-
tral Office of the State Univer-
sity.

The current attitude of the
faculty towards selecting the
CSEA is unfavorable, although a
large portion are members of
the CSEA, Many have joined to
receive the favorable life insur-
ance policy offered in its pro-
gram.

In February, the Statewide Fac-
ulty Senate will convene and de-
termine how the faculty of the
entire State University system
feels towards changing negotia-
tion conditions. If a change is
decided upon, they must select
an organization to represent
them.

New Co-Editors Plan Revisions;
To Enlarge News, Features, Sports

Linda Berdan and John Cromie
were elected co-editors-in-chief
of the Albany Student Press for
a year at the News Board meet-
ing last Sunday night.

They were chosen. to fill the
position after the resignation
of Sara Kittsley whose term of
office will expire at the end of
this semester,

tion of News Editor was Sandy
(Adele) Porter, and Gary Gelt
was chosen for the position of
Arts Editor, vacant since last
Spring. Kittsley will continue with
the ASP in the position of Exe-
cutive Editor,

Cromie and Berdan have both
been with the paper since fall
of last year, Berdan, a junior,
has served in the capacities of
Arts Editor, Association Editor
and Managing Editor, and
Cromie, a sophomore, has act-
ed as a reporter and as News
Editor.

Porter and Gelt joined the

_ ASP staff this fall. A transfer
from Elizabeth " Seton’ College’

in Yonkers where she edited
their newspaper, Porter hasbeen
working in the News department,
Gelt, a freshman, has had ex-
Perience in journalism during
his previous years in high school
and has been working in the
ASP Arts department,

Philip Franchini, a sophomore

signed as business manager,
Franchini has worked in busi-
ness positions for Special Events
on Campus,

Larry De Young, Associate
Photography Editor, has been
raised to the position of co-
Photography editor with Gary
Gold. De Young will be alter-
nating the duties of Photography
Editor with Gold throughout the
semester,

All of the new officers will
assume their positions at the
beginning of second semester,
They will be in charge of coord-
inating the 40 members of th

‘newspaper staff. <

The new co-editors stated upon
their election, ‘*We don’t expect
to produce the same paper that
Sara has, but the ASP will lar-
gely remain the same.”

“We hope that an atmosphere
condusive to the expression of
all major viewpoints on the sun-
dry issues, which we too will
face, will exist. There will be an
enlargement in news and feature
coverage relating to the trends
and ideas in and out of the Uni-
versity Community.”

“The sports area of the news-
paper we feel, should be en-
larged to include more of the
freshmen’s and women’s
sports.’?

“Sara has brought the news-
paper and the staff to a point
where it is beginning to look
like a university paper. This
expansion we hope will continue
under us and our successors to
the time when an organized staff
can turn out at least several
copies of the ASP a week,’?

Council Adopts New
Student Tax Policy

by Vic Looper

Central Council approved a
new Student Tax Policy and again
acted on the question of budget-
ing of groups advocating a speci-
fie partisan political or religious
viewpoint at their Dec. 14 meet-

The Student Tax Policy, pass-
ed by a near unamious 24-0-2
vote, includes among its major
changes the provision that ‘the
Student Tax card cannot be trans-

A ferred to or used by another stu-
{) dent.” In order to purchase a

ticket or obtain a publication,
a student will have to show both
his ID and his Student Tax card.

Under this provision, students
purchasing tickets for dated
events with tax cards will have to
bring their dates with them to
pick up tickets. Buffalo alsouses
this type of system to encourage
people to pay student tax.

Another section of the policy
states that when tickets are re-
quired for admission to an event
sponsored by a Student Associa-
tion organization then one ticket
will be issued per tax card, If
the chairman of the committee
consents upon the recommenda-
tion of the event chairman a
different ratio may be instituted
due to the nature of the event.

As in the old policy, student
membership, participation or
holding office and the right to
vote in elections or referendums
put to the students by the Student
Association is contingent upon the
payment of Student Tax,

Another provision in the
tax policy gives the chairman of
the Committee the power to dis-
tinguish whether a poll or
referendum affects the Student
Association or the student body
in general, If it affects the Stu-
dent Association then only mem-
bers will be able to vote.

It also indicates that whenever
a price is levied for an activity
the price shall at no time be the
same or lower than that charged
to Student Association members.

The new policy also gives the
Student Tax Committee the power
to exact various forms of penal-
ties on an Association organiza-
tion that the Committee has judg-

icceosnslt,

ed to be in violation of the Tax
Policy.

There are a number of viola-
tions a group could make e.g.
having non-Student Association
members in their organization,
not selling tickets to Association
members at lower prices, etc.

The penalties will depend on
the severity of the offense, One
of the penalties is freezing a
budget. The group is then unable |
to get payment expenditures and
thus their activities would be
severely limited.

The Committee may alsoissue
an injunction, calling in and audit-
ing an organization’s books,
which is a stronger penalty than
freezing a budget. They may ask
the Student Activities office to
refuse to give the group a table
in the Campus Center for selling
tickets, etc. Confiscation of a
publication and withdrawing ofan
organizations constitution or bud-

Oneonta To Offer
Hebrew Courses

In Jerusalem

State University College at
Oneonta, in cooperation with the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem,
is offering both an eight week
1968 summer session course on
“Modern Israel” and a full year
study abroad program to begin
in August 1968,

The summer session course
will be from June 29 to Aug.
27 with formal study to be at
the modern campus of the He
brew University in Jerusalem.
Students will concentrate on lec-
tures given by the instructor
of the course and Hebrew Uni-
versity faculty.

Two weeks of the period will
be spent in touring, visiting and
supplementary lectures by Is-
raeli authorities around the
country.

The year abroad study pro-
gram, also to be held on the
Hebrew University campus, is
open to students of the State
University of New York. Although
the study of Hebrew will be an
integral part of the program,
no prior knowledge of the lan
guage is required for accept-
ance.

From August through October,
1968, the students take Hebrew
University  ‘Ulpan’’ intensive
Hebrew language courses, each
at an appropriate level. From
November 1968 to June 1969, the
regular academic year of Hebrew
University, participants are en-
rolled as full time students in
individually selected programs.

Among the programs offered
are: elective courses taught in
English in many disciplines; spe-
cial courses in Judaic studies
taught in simple Hebrew; and re-
gular courses in Hebrew in all
disciplines, (However, partici-
pants may submit exams and pap-
ers in English),

Persons desiring further in-
formation on either program may
write Dr. Yonah Alexander at
State University College, Oneon-
ta, N.T, 13820, or Allen E. Cas-
well, director of International
Education atState University Col-
lege, Oneonta, N.Y, 13820.

Dr.Mossin Elected
VicePres:ofS.A.M.

Dr. Albert C. Mossin, chair-
man of the Department of Man-
agement, School of Business, has
been elected vice-president of the
International Society for the Ad-
vancement of Management,

Serving as a member of the
society’s board of directors, he
will be responsible for regional
operations in New York State.
The society serves as an educa-
tional forum for its 15,000 mem-
bership of business, industrial,
and government executives in
over 90 chapters throughout the
world,

Mossin is a past president of
SAM’s Hudson Valley Chapter.
In 1965 he received an honor
citation from the Society’s Ja-
Panese Chapter for his lecture
series, conducted under the chap-
ter’s sponsorship, on “The De-
cline of Authoritarian Manage-
ment in the Soviet Union,”

The lectures, presentedbefore
business and university groups
throughout Japan, pointed to the
Probable expansion of the then
rudimentary profit system be--
ing experimentally introduced in
@ small number of Soviet enter-
prises under the guidance of So-
viet Professor E, Liberman,

As predicted, more than 5,000
Soviet enterprises since have
been reported brought under Lib-
berman’s profit principles, Ja-
panese businessmen and profes-
sors, according to Mossin, re-
acted with particular interest to
the suggestion that Soviethistory
might in time repeat itself in
Communist China,

Mossin joined the University
faculty in 1951 after a number
of years’ service as a business
executive. Formerly, he had been
associated with the business ad-
ministration faculties of the City
College of New York and Connect-
icut State College at New Britain,

New Women’s Colony

by Barb Grossman

Sigma Tau Beta (STB) was
officially recognized as a frat
ernity by the Faculty-Student
Commission of Government
(SC) on December 13, The vote
was 6 to 1 in favor of STB,
with one abstension.

This is the second time that
STB has tried to gain accept-
ance as a fraternity. Last
Spring, one semester after they
had broken away from SLS, STB
was turned down by FSC, re-
portedly for violations in rush-
ing.

Because STB was the last re-
maining men’s colony on cam-
pus, the Greeks feel that new
colonies may be desirable, Any
group that wishes to become a
colony can contact Mike Shien
wold for information.

There is a new women’s col-
ony. On January 3, Kappa Chi
Rho was accepted by the Inter-
Sorority Council (SC), Norma
Pollizzi is President of the
new colony. The President em-
phasized that KXP is a colony
for friendship rather than a stat-
us symbol.

The other officers of the col-
ony are Marge Persico, Vice-
President; Lenore Rubin, Secre-
tary; and’ Marie Colgan, Trea

SDS To Council
College Drop-Outs

New York, N.Y., Dec, 22
(LIBERATION News Service)—
A counselling service to give
advice to college drop-outs and
potential drop-outs is being or-
ganized by the New York regional,
office of Students for a Demo-
cratic Society.

The purpose of the program is
to acquaint young people with the
various ways they can lead con-
structive lives outside of the
“establishment,’? including the
world of academia.

It will also provide realistic
information about the problems of
financial support, alternative
jobs and life style changes,

The counselling service is ex-
pected to offer clear, intelligent
information and advice, rather
than get into the “therapeutic”
bag, according to Jonathan Ler-
ner, who is organizing the pro-
gram along with Michele Clark.

Jonathan and Michele expect to
set up a network of counsellors
in key college communities. This
organization was expected to
emerge from the National Coun-
ceil meeting of SDS in Blooming-
ton, Indiana, Dec, 27-31.

Part of the service will in
volve referring drop-outs to new
creative roles inthe underground
press, craft workshops, commun-
al farms, community organizing
and political groups.

surer, The members of the col-
ony now are making prepara-
tions to participate in some
phases of Greek Week, This will
be their first presentation to
the University.

In the Spring, the colony will
rush for new members. They also
hope to be accepted as a soror-
ity by ISC upon formal presen-
tation of their purposes and pro-
cedure for induction of new mem-
bers, If they fail then, they will
still have one semester to try
to gain ISC acceptance as a
sorority.The majority of the girls
are from Livingston Tower.

CUC Aids Needs
Of Student Life

The Church of the University
Community is ‘a non-demonina-
tional Christian parish serving
the students and faculty of the
University. This model parish
serves the worship intellectual
and social needs of the community
by relating Christian faith to the
life of the student.

Worship services offered by
C.U.C. include prayers and les-
sons led by students. Liturgical
music at C.U.C. services uses
guitar, brass quartets, cello and
piano accompaniment, Dramatic
productions have been used in
Place of sermons,

The ecumenical outlook and di-
versity and personalism of
C.U.C, in the non-traditional set-
ting characterizes the parish.
Agape services are centered
around student led discussions
exploring conetmporary issues.

C.U.C, was instrumental in
the founding of the ‘Golden Eye’”
the University coffee house, The
“Eye”? sponsors student and fa-
culty readings, dramatic produc-
tions and discussions on vital,
contemporary topics.

C.U.C, joins with other campus
religious organizations in spon
soring joint activities such as
the Festival of Carols. Social
projects in the South End, asum-
mer project and the publication
of a paper, L’HUMANISTE, are
also among the projects of the
Church of the University Com-
munity.

HungarianDepicts

Communist Evil

by Gerald Melton

Dr. Tivor Baranski, secretary
of the Hungarian Freedom Figh-
ters’ Society of America, spoke
last December 14, of his person-
al experiences under Hungarian
Communism. His lecture en-
titled, “The Evils of Commun
ism’’ was sponsored by the Young
Americans for Freedom chapter
of the University.

Baranski urged all Americans
to fight the Communists by *‘word
and sword until the final victory
to free the people who are burn-
ing behind the Iron Curtain,”

He recalled several terrible
experiences the Hungarian peo-
ple suffered in what he diag.
nosed as a ‘less and less human
Society.”? He spoke of the women
and children raped and murder-
ed by the Communists ‘dogs and
rascals,”

Moreover, the speaker termed
Communism the ‘great social
disease,” since this system of
regimentation has turned men and
societies into animals, scoun-
drals, hords and gangs,’

Baranski denoted Communism
as ‘‘animal-life and puppet-life’’
in conflict with the Judeo-Chris-
tian viewpoint which emphasizes
“human life based on divine prin-
ciples.’”

Initial Response

To Choice 68

Is Favorable

A collegiate presidential pri-
mary involving nearly 2500 col-
leges and several million
students, will be held simultan-
eously on campuses across the
country on April 24,

Leaders of student organi::-
tions at more than 200 majo.
universities have already asked
to participate in the vote, An-
nouncement of CHOICE 68, Na-
tional Collegiate Presidential
Primary, and an invitation to
take part will go out to 2200
additional colleges this week.

CHOICE 68 is being run by
a Board of Directors composed
of eleven student leaders, each
from a different region of the
country. The Board is establish-
ing guidelines for the Primary,
designing the ballot and provid-
ing overall direction and leader-
ship.

Administrative costs are being
underwritten by TIME magazine
as a public service. There is
no connection between the pri-
mary and the editorial content
of TIME, Results of the primary
will be available to all media,

Initial response by student
leaders has been highly favorable
according to Robert G. Harris,
Executive Director of CHOICE
68,

In addition to indicating their
choice of presidential candidates,
students will also have a chance
to vote on certain issues of na-
tional concern, The selection of
these issues will also be made
by, alee of Directors,

formational pros|
on CHOICE 68, the Boom cs
plained the philosophy behind the
idea this way: “Never in the
nation’s history have so many
college students been so well in-
formed about the major issues
of the day. . .yet they have had
little opportunity to express their
views in a unified, coherent man-
her. CHOICE 68 offers students
the opportunity to express their
Preference on Presidential can-
pear selected issues—

i beay petite e first time as

Thus, he- felt it was his moral
obligation to inform the citizens
of his ‘Second Homeland”? about
the dangers of the “diabolical”
Communist system,

Baranski, born in 1922 in Bud-
apest, spent most of his life in
the Hungarian Capital. In 1948
he finished his studies at the
Pazmany Peter University, He
helped to save the lives of 3,000
Hungarian Jews threatened by
Nazism and fought Communism
through his lectures and writings.

The speaker was a freedom-
fighter during the Hungarian Re-
volution of 1956 and was im-
prisoned by the Communists for
five years,

The revolt that occurred dur-
ing the months of October and
November was quickly success-
ful, but was just as quickly sup-
pressed by Soviet intervention.
This revolt was aimed to es-
tablish political democracy in
ae of a system of one-party
rule.

Central Council
(Continued from Pg. 1)
get were also mentioned.

Downes stated that the freez-
ing penalty would be made by
Finance Committee under the Tax
Committee recommendations.
The other penalties would re-
quire Council approval. Downes
believes that this policy is
superior to the previous one,
will be vigorously enforced and
will encourage people to pay the
tax by plugging up some of the
loopholes that had existed in the
old policy.

Council also took action on the
Young Americans for Freedom
(YAF) budget for the third con-
secutive week, The bill, introduc-
ed by Gary Gold, suspended the
YAF budget and setup an ad-hoc
committee to solve the problem
of representing a wide range of
political views by providing
speakers through a non-partisan
group. Forum of Politics or
Social and Political Problems
Board were suggested.

A similar bill was defeated at
the previous meeting, which stat-
ed that Student Association funds
could not be used to finance
groups which advocate specific
political or religious viewpoints.

At this meeting a bill was
passed which prohibited religious
groups from receiving Student
Association funds. The bill was
introduced by Paul Downes re-
presentative from Religious Af-
fairs commission, and had full
commission support. The Dill
was passed unanimously,

Council also approved twocon-
stitutional changes for Religious
Affairs Commission. One adds
two at-large members to the
Commission and the other makes
the election of a Commissions
officers and representatives to
Central Council coincide with
the general elections of the Stu-
dent Association, They had pre-
viously been elected in February
whereas all the other Commis-
sions and Council elect officers
and members in April.

Academic Affairs Commission
also had a constitutional change
which reduced their quorum from
2-3 to 1-2 of the total voting
representatives minus excused
student teachers.

Faculty Members Organize Group
To Develop Draft Counseling

by Jill Paznik

A group of faculty members,
ealling themselves a “Teachers
Draft Counseling Committee,’
have decided to assume the re-
sponsibility for making our cam-
pus aware of the draft options
available in addition to those rec-
ommended at the military re-
cruiting desk,

These teachers were disturb-
ed to discover that there is no
place in our University commun-
ity where a student can get de-
tailed information or counsel«
ing to make an informed decision
concerning his draft options.

The Teachers Draft Counsel-
ing Committee recognizes that
many of our young men ques-
tion whether or not they can,
as a matter of conscience, serve
as soldiers in the Vietnam war,
and further, that, under condi-
tions imposed by the draft law,
the choice of service, alternate
service, or nomservice re
presents, for many, a serious
choice about life goals, and for
others, a far reaching personal
crisis.

The Committee takes the posi-
tion, therefore, that, as teach-
ers and responsible members of
the adacemid community, we
must help such young men ob-
tain information on all alterna-
tives and examine their own
feelings to the end that they
arrive at a rational and emo-
tionally satisfactory devision
about their role, if any, in the
Vietnam war,

The group agreed to begin
to train themselvesas draftcoun-
selors. Included in this commit-
tee are: Warder Cadbury, Gloria
DeSole, Peter Larrick, Dr.
Thomson H, Littlefield, Frank
Snow and Harry Staley with John
Reilly as its chairman.

About forty faculty members
met Monday, December 18th with
local attorney Margrethe Pow-
ers whose information on
procedures for counseling con-
scientious objectors, it was
felt, would be of aid to the poten-
tial counselors.

Powers stated that the limits
of the law concerning draft coun-
selors allows only “The giving of
factual information. There is no
legal opposition to counseling,’”
except for ‘‘counseling to disobey
the law.”

When asked what the best time
to apply for a CO deferment is
for those whose present classi-
fication is 2S, she replied that
they would have to write their
local boards as soon as their
minds are clear. She said that
under the present interpretation
of the law a boy who has not seen
other wars and opposes only this
war but not necessarily future
or past wars would not qualify
for a CO deferment.

Concerning the question asked

on form 150 (form for conscien-
tious objectors) -Do you believe
in a Supreme Being?, Powers
stated that if you do not know
if you believe, check yes. She
strongly suggested writing
‘everything in duplicate, make
copies and send everything by
registered mail.

“Fill out the form adequates
ly, have witnesses available for
any hearings. The board may re-
fuse to listen to them, make a
record.” Having a record of
everything involved in the ap-
peal is, Powers indicated,
of great importance. The appeal
candidate must have a thick
enough file in support of his case,

“The poorest time to appealis
after you receive the induction
notice.’ If the candidate appeals
at this time, Powers said, he
would have to show that ‘‘some-
thing beyond his control changed
his mind after notification.””

The faculty members were told
that it is their ‘‘duty to assure
yourselves you are counseling
someone who really wants to do
this. You can’t (under the law)
counsel them (students) to go to
Canada or break the law. You
are here and respected, lend-
ing your moral force’ as teach-
ers to counseling.

Asked how government of-
ficials would find out if coun-
selors advised against the law,
Powers answered that the boy
“might get caught on his way to
Canada and say something, he
might be disturbed, or his par-
ents might say something. As
counselors you are public and
acknowledged; your name would
be on references.

“The CO applicant must be
reasonable. One of the ques-

through a series of screening in-

announced early next semester.

Students selected will spend
three weeks living with a family

as goodwill ambassadors. They
will speak the native language.
Language training can be receiv-
ed prior to the trip in Put-
ney, Vt.

There is no initial cost to
the student. The University as~
sumes the cost. Funds will be
raised by soliciations from so-
rorities, fraternities, and other
organizations.

tions that may be asked (of the
applicant) is Do you believe in
a police force? He must know
in his own mind the difference
between police and the military,
war and violence; he must have
his answers thought out.”

During the time between the
appeal and the hearing the CO
candidate, advised Powers,
should get as much into his file
in support of his case as he pos-
sibly can. ‘If you get a mili-
tarist to vouch for your sine
cerity’’ it would be a great help,

One question asked of the ap-
plicant may be whether he had
ever done anything else on the
grounds of conscience. “If he
marched on Washington or join-
ed any Peace Vigils, get it on
file. The Draft Board will have
to make a case against you’’
and with this support on file
it will make it harder for them
to win their case.

Peter Pollack, editor of the
Albany Liberator, has-been is-
sued a CO classification; he was
asked some questions by the
group of faculty members. Pol-
lack said he was asked by of-
ficials if he would have fought
during World War I,

His answer was that he ‘could
not make judgments onthe actions
of nations in historical setting.’?
He told his interviewers that
he ‘could not go back and say
what he would do under differ.

Poolroom Open

In Campus Center

The long awaited opening of
the poolroom in the Campus Cen-
ter is almost here. Mr. Nelson
Swartz, head of the poolroom,
feels that it will open in a few
days.

There were several obstacles
preventing the opening. Initial.
ly, the equipment was not order-
ed properly. When the right equip-
ment came there were not enough
men from AMF, the manufactur-
er, to assemble the tables.

The largest obstacle, how=
ever, was the failure of the State
Inspection Bureau to accept the
work. The Bureau has finally ap-
proved the tables after many in-
spections,

The University has signed off
to AMF and there is nothing
foreseen to prevent the open-
ing of the poolroom.

The charge for the tables is
90 cents for an hour. One or four
people may use the same table
for the hour.

The hours for playingare Mon-
day-Thursday, 10 a.m. -5 p.m.,
7 p.m. - 11 p.m., Friday, 10
am, to 1 am.; Saturday 12
p.m, - 1 a.m.; Sunday 2 p.m.

ArabStudent Club

Forms On Campus

by Janie Samuels

An Albany Chapter of the Arab
Student Club has been formed on
campus to “promote true and
adequate information about the
Arab people, their history, cul-
ture, problems, and aspira-
tions.’?

Various activities are being
planned to further the education-
al and cultural objectives of the
“club. Significant among these is
a series of lectures related to
the Middle East and U.S, - Mid=
dle East relations.

Contacts are being made with
men who have lived in the Middle
East and Israel andare now serv-
ing in the State Department, at
the United Nations, or teaching
in universities.

Coffee hours are also on the
agenda. At these informal gath-
erings club members will pre-
sent various programs related
to their own particular country.
At Easter time the Club also
plans to show slides of the Holy
Land,

Seminars and debates will be
an important activity in which,
it is hoped, Arab and non-Arab
students may be able to discuss
matters of mutual interest. The
Arab Student Club also antici-
pates giving free instruction in
Arabic to interested students on
campus.

The Club is a local chapter of
the Arab Student Organization of
the United States and Canada. It
is an independent non-profit cul-
tural and educational organiza-
tion having chapters in many
colleges and universities
throughout the country.

Nafez Abdullah, president of

the Albany chapter, feels that the
main goal of the club is to ‘pro=

mote a better mutual understand-
ing and stronger ties between
the American and Arab people.’”
He speaks on behalf of all the
members in welcoming all stu-
dents on campus to join the club
and help foster this rapport.

All those interested in the
Arab Student Club may contact
Nafez Abdullah 463-0945 or sec-
retary Nabila Mango 472-8255.

Mme. Wolkonsky

Granted Waiver

Madame Catherine Wolkonsky,
professor of Russian language
and comparative literature at
the University, again has been
granted an extension of waiver
of the mandatory retirementpro-
vision by the Board of Trustees
of State University of New York.

The action permits an addi-
tional year of academic service
by Madame Wolkonsky who is
72, The noted authority on the
Russian language has been grant
ed three waivers of theprovision
upon the recommendation of
President Evan R, Collins.

Her current waiver expires
next June. Formerly chairman
of the Russian departmentat Vas-
sar College, she came to the
University four years ago.

The request for her continued
service noted that Madame Wol-
konsky is ‘still the mainstay of
the Russian part of the depart-
ment of Germanic and Slavic lang-
uages and literatures.””

Madame Wolkonsxy is co-
author of the book, ‘fA Diction-
ary of Russian Roots.’’ The work
is widely considered to be a
definitive study of the struc-
ture of the Russian language.

Ecological Researchers
To Study Whiteface Mt.

Dr. Jon T. Scott, professor of
earth and atmospheric sciences
at the University, and Dr. J,
Gary Holway, professor of
science at Oneonta State and an
alumni of the University, will
direct an extensive study of the
vegetation, soil, and microcli-
mate of Whiteface Mountain in
the Adirondacks,

The research project entitled
“¢Vegetation - Environment Rela-
tions at Whiteface Mountain in
the Adirondacks” will yield in-
formation for forest management
and conservation practices inthe
Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Dr. Scott is an atmospheric
scientist with particular interest
in ecological studies, the rela-
tion of vegetation to the envi-
ronment, Dr, Holway, abotanical
specialist in ecology, will re-
search mainly in the area of
vegetational structure,

The . two - year investigation
seeks new statistical and mathe-
matical techniques for relating
measures of vegetation to quan-
titative environmental measure-
ments. The team will also de-
scribe the vegetation in an area
which has not been studied by

modern ecological methods.

The study will attempt to ob-
tain more information on a con-
troversy in the field of ecology
dealing with the structure of ve-
getation, Research will center
around the question, “Does vege-
tation consist of discrete units
or is it essentially continuous?”

While their conclusions are
highly tentative, Drs. Holway and
Scott speculate that the truth
lies somewhere between the two
Positions. The results, to date,
show features of both the ecolog-
ical hypotheses.

Smith On Council

Barbara Smith, a junior has
been elected to Central Coun-
ell from Colonial Quad, Only
about 60 students voted in the
election, The reason for the small
vote was the fact that the vot-
ing took place only in the Cam-

lines, but because of complaints
of fraudulent votes the elections
were moved, Voting machines
were used for the first time,

Definite engagements for
Greek Week entertainment have
not been made yet. The Facul-
ty Student Association has
not met, and, therefore, the
Greeks have not received money
from them.

‘The money expected from
yarious beer companies has also
not come through. Consequently,
money is still needed for thebeer
party, the concert, and the guest
speaker.

Co-chairmen Linda Klein and
George Liebowitz have been
working to make definite engage-

made the planning difficult.

Dr. Paul Bacquet, visiting pro-
fessor from the Sorbonne, spoke
at the English Evening on Thurs-
day, December 14.

His discussion centered around
«An American Student in Paris’?
and dealt with many interesting
sidelights.

The University of Paris, the
Sorbonne, is the oldest university
of its kind in Europe. It offers
an almost unlimited amount of
courses and excellent pro-
fessors, and nearly every foreign
language. Founded in 1257 by
Robert de Sorbon, it was origin-
ally a college for men who had
achieved the equivalent of a
Master of Arts degree, and who
wished to continue their study in
the field of theology. Even at this
time it was considered a
European center, and not merely
a French school, with adiversity
of students and professors. Situ-
ated in the center of the com-
mercial district, the university
bears the mark of belonging not
only to the city of Paris but also
the world, Dr. Bacquet added that
it has been called ‘‘the famous
monster which must be tamed.’”

Student-faculty rapport is al-
most non-existant; professors
find themselves faced mainly by
American students; unaware of
their elders rather austere and
unapproachable position,

The old system of education
was abandoned in 1966, and has
been replaced by a variety of
effective improvements. The
rather archaic structure of high-
er learning and the overcrowded

'Am..Students In Paris ;
_Topic of Eng. Evening

conditions’ made such changes
necessary.

Enrollment for large lecture
sessions at the Sorbonne may be
twice the capacity of the class-
room. Students interested in the
lecture of a popular professor
must usually attendtheclassheld @
beforehand in the same room in
order to have a seat for the next
class.

University Plans

To Join Circuit

Plans are now being made by
the Campus Center Governing
Board for the University to join
the Coffee House Circuit next
semester. This would mean night-
ly entertainment, Monday-Satur-
day, in the Rathskeller of the
Campus Center. ®

The cost for joining the Circuit
is $200 and $150 - $200 for each
group that entertains, The senior
class has already agreed tospon-
sor the first group, and the other
classes will also be asked to
participate in this plan. During
the week there will be two shows
nightly and on Friday and Satur-
day there will be three shows
each night.

Through their Coffee House
Circuit, Sennet and Weintraub,
owners of the famed Bitter End,
have made several professional e
and highly talented singers,
comedians, and other enter-
tainers available for one week
stands.

New Emphasis
In Outing Clubs

‘*A good outing club shouldbea
team of first class woodsmen who
can handle themselves in the out
of doors as well as work harmoni-
ously together.” (IOCA News-
letter 1949).

Although this definition of an
outing club is still true 20 years
later here on Albany’s campus,
there is a new emphasis on
participation in intercollegiate
trips.

In recent years, Albany Outing
Club enthusiasts have not only
traveled more extensively along
the eastern coast, but are shar-
ing the fun with more college
Outing Clubs,

For example, Albany woodsmen
have combined talents with such
American colleges as RPI, Union,
Vassar, University of Conn., Mt.
Holyoke, and University of Vir-
ginia for weekend trips.

.For winter ski trips, McGill

Unliversity in Montreal, Canada
lures many Northeastern IOCA
clubs to their slopes for a week-
end of fun and relaxation,
._ For newcomers, this emphasis
gives them more of a chance to
see the natural beauties of the
East coast,as well as meet other
college students with common
interests.

Year-round activities include
anything from crawling around
unexplored caves of Knox Mt.,
canoeing on Lake George, or
mountain climbing in Mexico over
this recent Christmas vacation.

CBS Schedules
Smoking Test

Television viewers willbe able
to find out how much they know
about cigarettes and why people—
including themselves — smoke,
when CBS News presents the
“National Smoking Test”? Tues
day, January 16 (10:00-11:00 PM,
EST) in color on the CBS Tele-
vision Network, CBS News Corre-
spondents Mike Wallace and
Joseph Benti are the reporters,

The test will be based on facts
about cigarette smoking which
have been public knowledge for
some time and will be divided into
three segments.

(1) How You Feel About Smok-
ing, consisting of statements with
which television yiewers —
smokers and non-smokers alike
—can agree or disagree.

(2) What You Know About Smok-
ing, a section involving true or
false questions plus opinion-seek-
ing queries..

(3) Smoker’s Profile: Why You
Smoke, which will enable those
taking the test to learnthe motiva-
tions behind their smoking.

Part 3 will be based on the
Insight Development _Question-
naire developed by Dr. Daniel
Horn for the National Clearing-
house for Smoking and Health.
These questions will be animat-
ed by John Huxley, and Dr. Horn
will appear on the broadcast to
interpret the finding.

In this segment there will be
no point-count ‘score.’ Instead,
smokers and non-smokers will be
able to compare themselves to a
national sample to learn how
many people are in the same
category in which they find them-
selves,

Another portion of the broad-
cast was filmed in San Diego,
California, with CBS News Cor-
respondent Bill Stout reporting,
where private companies, physic-
fans, city officials, adults and
teen-agers are cooperating in a
“soft-sell” anti-cigarette cam-
paign with the help of federal

the first Sunday of second
semester. Beginning February 4

and continuing on each following.

Sunday from 5 to 5:30 p.m. the
panel game, ‘*Keep Talking,” will
feature teams from various
campus organizations.

The first show willbe a contest
between two teams: one from
Kappa Beta Fraternity and the
other from Beta Zeta Sorority,
No prizes will be to the winning
team, but they will have the oppor-
tunity to defend their title against
another team the following week,

One member from each team
will be given a unknown phrase
which he must incorporate into a
story. The story, to be started
by the moderator, will be passed
to the member of a team whohas
a phrase, then tothe other team’s
Member who has a different
phrase and then back again,

Once the time for the story has
run out each team will try to
guess the other’s unknown
phrase. In the future the teams
will be drawn from other Greek
groups, dormitories, and other

* campus groups.

The University Radio Station,
will present another new show
starting on Feb. 4, called the
“Rich Stevens Show.’ It will be
held inthe Brubacher Game Room
from 6-7 in the’ evening,
Audiences are possible for this
Show as well as the earlier show,

Two New Shows Start
NextSemesterOnWSUA

The University’s radio station,
WSUA, will begin a game show on

“Keep Talking’? because of this
location.

The program will be a variety
show featuring live talent from
the University. Four or five guest
groups will be presented each
week,

The Candy Coated Out-House, a
rock group, will perform on the
first Sunday. Members of this
group are: Dennis O’Leary, Pete
Jogo, Barry Sarna, and Terry
Baxter.

A folk group called The Con-
ference consisting of Andy Nagel
and John Birchler will also be
featured. John Fotia will perform
a variety of comedy and singing
arrangments,

Included in the new ‘Rich
Stevens Show” will be a special
talk feature, Rich Stevens will in-
terview Sara Kittsley ona variety
of topics.

The pianist for the show is
Daniel Perlmutter and the an-
nouncer is John Michalke,

On Barring Recruiters

President Evan R. Collins re-
sponded to an open letter ad-
dressed to him which appeared
in the Dec, 12 ‘Objector,” a
magazine serving as a forum of
opinion on Vietnam published by
the Faculty Student Committee
to End the War, at his Dec. 18
President’s Conference With

Students.

The letter called for Collins’
immediate and public condemna-
tion of the actions of U.S, Gener-
al Lewis B. Hershey which be-
gan with a statement issued by
Hershey to draft boards on Oct.
26.

It further called for condemna-
tion of the action by prevailing
upon Collins toban Armed Forces
recruiters from the campus in
order to demonstrate the Uni-
versity’s disfavor.

Collins explained that he felt
there were two issues of concern
instead of what may have appear-
ed to be one from the context of
the letter. The first issue is the
public reaction and feelings about
the action taken by Hershey, and
the second issue lies in whether
or not the University should take
action against Hershey and osten-
sibly, the whole army.

He also stated that he felt that
from the beginning of the Hershey
incident he had offered public
comment on the situation. He
again cited his belief in support
for a ‘Open University’ and his
subsequent belief that the campus
should be open to all recruiters,

At that time he made comment
against Hershey’s action which
would, in effect make the draft
a punitive organ by using it to
punish those demonstrating
against the draft, by changing a
persons draft status.

He illustrated the concern of
not only himself, but of the other
Presidents of the University
Centers of the State University
System, by citing letters sent to
President Johnson and the Justice
Department expressing their con-
cept.

On Dec. 9, the four presidents
sent a letter as a body which
offered their commendation of
the Joint Statement issued by the
Justice Department and The

Selective Service which insured
that constitutional guarantees of
due process would not be cir-
cumvented through administra-
tive proceedings taken by the
Selective Service.

The letter stated ‘*We under-
stand that no sanctions, either
administrative or penal, will be
imposed against protest or dis-
sent which is constitutionally pro-
tected,

“*We also understand that the
statement to insure that criminal
prosecution in the United States
District Courts . .. shall con-
stitute and sole sanction against
public protests or demonstra-
tions, and that administrative
proceedings shall under no cir-
cumstances be employed tostifle
or suppress opposition to the
Selective Service System. . .””

Later, on Dec. 15 the Presi-
dent again sent a telegram ex-
pressing their feelings that
although the Joint Statement had
provided enough assurance that
registrants ‘engaged in peaceful
demonstrations and other forms
of legal protest would not risk
criminal prosecution.” ‘It failed
to give assurance that reclass-
ification or withdrawal of student
deferments for alleged violations
of the Selective Service Act would
not be employed against protest-
ors on college and university
campuses.”?

It went on to read that clari-
fication on the rights of students
is “even more urgent than before
the issuance of the joint state-
ment, We seek assurance that no
sanctions will be imposed against
legal protest or dissent which is
constitutionally protected.’?

Construction

To Finish More Phases

by Sandy Porter

Many phases of construction
on the University campus will be
completed during 1968 reported
Walter M, Tisdale, assistant to
the President for Plant Plan
ning, in a recent interview.

The Physical Education build-
ing will be ready for use this
semester and that area will be
landscaped, The Computer Cen-
ter is also scheduled for aspring
opening. Early in the spring se-
mester the Administration Build-
ing will be occupied.

Podium landscaping is also
scheduled for this spring. Flower
pots along the perimeter of the
Podium as well as the east and
west podium courtyards are on
the work agenda.

Fulton and Irving Halls on
State Quad will be occupied next
semester completing the low rise
dorms on that quad and land-
scaping will be done. Eastman
Tower is scheduled for occu
Pancy by the summer of this
year,

Construction for the new plane-
tarium on campus and Indian
Quadrangle will be begun this
spring. Both sites are slated as
the focus of attention for the
summer construction season.

The Theater Music Building
will be completed and taken over
bv the University in the fall as
will the Instructional Resources
Center, in the middle of the

podium,

Bidding for the University’s
Atmospheric Science Research
Center to be located on White-
face Mountain will be opened
late in the spring semester. Con-
struction for the center will be-
gin during the summer,

Sayles and Pierce Halls on

The Christian Science Organi.
zation was instituted by Arthur
Cornwall in 1944 to meet the
needs of the Christian Scientists
or those interested in Christian
Science within the University
community, This group directs
itself towards challenging the
aesthetic areas such as indi-
vidual’s thoughts on meta-phys-
ical questions as existence.

‘Tuesday meetings, modeled af-
ter the traditional Christian Sci-
ence Wednesday evening church
meeting are held weekly by the
Christian Science Organization,
These meetings focus on readings
from the Bible and the textbook,

the Scriptures, by Mary Baker
Eddy.

The Christian Science Organi-
zation sponsors two lectures each
year. The first of this year’s lec-
tures, ‘The New Morality,” was

given on Dec. 7, 1967, by Mrs. ©

Lenore Hanks.

residences and academic facili-
ties, are being converted to sole-
ly academic buildings.

With the completion of these
phases of the University’s build-
ing project, plans for the future
are being made. Additional build-
ings on campus to meet the
various needs of the University
community are in the planning
stage.

Tentatively scheduled for com-
pletion in 1970 are 160 apart-
ments for married students. The
complex will be located on cam-
pus.

New parking facilities are also
planned, The new structures will
be two levels of covered parking
with recreational and athletic
fields on the roof. The structure
planned for a site east of the
Indian Quad is scheduled for com-
pletion in 1970, A second Phy-
sical Education building will also
be completed in 1970,

A multi-purpose auditorium or
field house seating 7500 people
is in the plans for 1971, The
structure will make possible a
continuous practice season for
all sports by, in effect, moving
the outdoors inside. The build-
ing will contain indoor practice
fields for the various sports,

Long range planning for the
Academic Podium includes ex-
tensions which would expand the
instructional space by fifty per-

Blood Shortage
AtAlbany Center

The Albany Blood Center has
a shortage of fresh blood dona-
tions. Dr. Albert H. Harris, the
medical director of the North-
eastern New York Red Cross
Regional Blood Program, said
many medical situations such
as, extensive surgery patients,
severe liver and kidney diseases
and hemophiliacs, require the use
of fresh blood, or components
that are present in blood for
only a short time after it is
collected from the donor.

Blood collected at the Albany
Center can be sent to the lab-
oratory to fractionate blood into
components but blood collected
at the bloodmobiles can’t be de-
livered to the laboratory fast
enough for the process.

Carl H, Barley, Jr., administ-
rative director of the blood pro-
gram, said ‘But the Center is
our weak spot, we must get
more individual donors and more
civic and fraternal and religious
organizations, to schedule their
donations at the Center.’”

Chances For Dismissal

by Don Stankavage

Are you concerned about your
academic situation after your
first semester at the Univer-
sity? Is that 2.00 goal out of
your reach? Is it possible that
you may be on probation next
term, or even dismissed from
the University?

“Before contemplating any
drastic action,’” says Dean Rob-
ert Morris of the University
College, “see your Academic
Advisor and discuss your prob-
lems thoroughly. Each student
is considered as a special case.””

There is no low quality point
average that is a cut - off point
to separate those who are ex-
cluded and those who stay for
another term, The determina-
tion of probationary standing is
based on a Quality Point De-
ficiency, not a quality point
average. An explanation of the
idea of quality point deficiency
is in order.

It is the number of quality
points you must earn in a pro-
bationary semester to achieve
an overall 2.00 average. Dean
Morris used this example to
clarify quality point deficiency,

Consider the first semester
freshman who is carrying an
average 15 hour load of five
three-hour courses. He earns,
after his first semester, two
C’s and three D’s or any equiv-
alent grade combination,

He would be placed on Aca-
demic Probation. In order to at-
tain a 2.00 average after his
first two terms, he would have
to earn three B’s and two C’s
in his second semester,

The three B’s are necessary to
balance the three D’s of the
first term represent nine qual-
ity points. Those nine points
also represent his quality point
deficiency.

Your status in regard to aca-
demic or terminal probation de-
pends on the magnitude of your
quality point deficiency. Any
equivalent average below five
C’s to three D’s and two C’s
is the range of academic pro-
pation, in your freshman year.
You can go as low as one C
and four D’s and still be on
terminal probation.

‘Any average worse than one
C and four D’s usually results
in dismissal after the first term
because the quality point defi-
ciency is considered insurmount-
able.

Academic probation demands
that you decrease your quality
point deficiency by a substan-
tial amount or erase it entire-
ly if possible in the subsequent
semester,

Terminal probation is much
more demanding. Its first con-
dition is that you pass all cours-
es, The second requirement is
that you reduce your quality point
deficiency by a specified amount
by doing a certain number of
hours of B work in your pro-
bationary semester. In both
cases, a letter from Dean Mor-
ris is sent to your parents out-
lining your probationary status,

A freshman at the University
has only.a 1,1 per cent chance
of being dismissed after one
semester, according to statis-
tics supplied by the University
College.

Fifteen students of the fresh-
man class last year were drop-
ped in January of 1967‘after one
semester, 2.8 per cent or 37
students were placed on term-
inal probation and 11.1 per cent
or 145 students warranted aca-

demic probation.

To put these figures into per-
spective: after the fall semes-
ter of last year, 15 students
out of 1289 total in the fresh-
man class were dismissed and
182 students of 1289 were plac-
ed on some type of probation.

If a student finds himself on
probation after this fall semes-
ter, he should not take his con-
dition lightly. Just because he
is on academic probation does
not automatically mean that the
student still has terminal sta-
tus to fall back on, Also, do not
be surprised or discouraged if
your probationary situation lasts
over two terms,

Let’s see what happened to
that select 182 after their sec-
ond semester last year. Of the
37 placed on terminal proba-
tion in January, 19 were dismis-
sed from the university in June,
Ten continued on terminal pro-
bation, 3 were removed from
terminal status, and 5 withdrew
from the University. That means
only 10 out of 37 maintained
their status quo, and only 3
of 37 improved their position
by June,

Consider the 145 who were
on academic probation after their
first semester. 26 students were
dismissed after one term of aca-
demic probation, 35 were reduc-
ed to terminal status, 46 con-
tinued on academic probation,
4 withdrew from the university,
and only 33 were removed from
probation,

These statistics show that of
the 182 on probation, 45 were
dismissed after a subsequent
term and 9 withdrew, which
makes'a total of 54 of 182 who
after one term of probation are
no longer with us.

What can you do if you are
dismissed? Your last | chance
is to appeal to the Faculty Com-
mittee on Academic Standing,

Kosher Food Plan
To Be Available

A kosher food plan available
to students who have contracted
for food service, will begin next
semester. It was developed af-
ter consultation with represen
tatives of the Hillel Society on
campus; and Rabbi Napthali Ru-
binger, former advisor of Hillel,
who was authorized: to convey
the opinions of the Capital Dis-
trict Board of Rabbis.

Frozen dinners, labeled with
#Q7'-U"" symbol, signify-
ing certification as kosher, will
be served seven times each week
when standard dinners are serv-
ed,

These dinners will consist of
the entree only, generally in-
cluding a meat item and two
vegetables. As wide a variety
of food as is available for pur-
chase will be offered and will
include, insofar as possible, fish
once a week.

Students participating in the
plan will be offered the regu
lar salad, beverage and dessert
on the menu. Participating stu-
dents will be offered the stan-
dard breakfast menu in the din-
ing rooms of their regular places
of residence.

Kosher dinners will be served
in the cafeteria of the Campus
Center. Students will not be as-
signed a special place for din-
ing but will use the regular
dining facilities in the Campus
Center.

The Hillel Society will take
responsibility for communicat-
ing needs to the University Food
Service, including providing: the
Food Service each session with
an estimate of the number of
students who are interested in
participating in the plan and rep-
resentatives on the Campus Cen-
ter Students Food Service Com-
mittee which consults with Food
Service personnel.

A participant is expected to
notify Food Service in advance
that he plans to be present for
a particular meal. The partici-
pants should, in consultation with
the Food Service, decide on a
time when the frozen food meals
will be available so that there
will be no unnecessary delays
in serving.

The cost per student is $50
in addition to the regular charge-
for board for the second semes-
ter of the 67-88 academic year.
‘A separate bill for $50 will be
prepared by the Bursar’s Office
for this charge. The plan, in-
cluding the charges will be eval-
uated before adoption for 1968-
69.

It’s All Greek to Me...

The Game Is

by Maggie Dietz

Due to the semester-long ef-
forts of the co-chairmen and
committee chairmen, plans for
Greek Week are nearing com-
pletion, with the unfortunate ex-
ception of those involving fi-
nances.

Publicity and operational ex-
penses have been met by IFC-
ISC contributions. The difficulty
lies in procuring a subsidy for an
All-University Concert culminat-
ing the week-long gamut of activi-
ties.

The inherent problem lies in
the purpose of the activities them-
selves. Participation in the
festivities is open to any and all
members of this University;
Greek Week is not limited in
welcome to present fraternity
and sorority members.

Contributions have initially
come from the pockets of in-
dividual Greek members, but
these have been given in the in-
terest of supporting numerous

Greek Week

and varied functions open to the
University.

In view of the situation, I
would suggest a possible solution
in the cooperation of Student
Association with the Greek Week
Committee. Each fraternity and
sorority requests its individual
members to pay student tax;
however, no benefits are derived
for the group. Only the indivi-
duals benefit personally.

Fraternities and sororities are
not part of our Student Govern-
ment structure; they do not re-
ceive budgets as do commis-
sions and clubs. The Greek
Groups have always remained
financially independent of Student
Government, and there seems no
reason for a different method of
operation at this level.

A cooperative effort in the
form of a loan or subsidy for a
University-wide activity might
produce the most beneficial and
enjoyable result for all con-
cerned,

Gift of Torrente-Ballester

This past Wednesday, the Uni-
versity’s library was the
recipient of the original manu-
script of the latest novel by
Gonzalo Torrente-Ballester, one
of the foremost contemporary
Spanish novelists.

Mr. Torrente-Ballester, a
member of the faculty as a dis-
tinguished professor of Spanish
literature since 1966, has en-
titled the work DON JUAN, Writ-
ten in 1963, the novel is con-
cerned with a modern approach
to the life of the mysthical char-
acter, Don Juan.

The manuscript was present-
ed at a formal reception by Dr.
Charles W. Colman, chairman of
the department of romance langu-
ages, on behalf of Torrente-
Ballester. Receiving the addition
to the University’s rapidly ex-
panding Spanish collection was
Miss Alice Hastings, director of
libraries.

Guests at the reception includ-
ed chairmen of the modern langu-
ages departments at many nearby
colleges and universities. Others
in attendance were University
administration and faculty repre-
sentatives.

In addition to the manuscript
of his novel, Torrento-Ballester
also presented his own personal
noted with observations of life in
Spain.

The newly acquired works of
professor Torrente - Ballester
will be placed in the rare book
room of the library where they
may be seen and consulted by in-
terested students. Prior toplace-
ment in the room, the manuscript
and notes are scheduled to be on
display in the library,

Torrente-Ballester arrived in

this nation in 1966 when he ac-
cepted the position of distinguish-
ed professor in the Spanish de-
partment at the University. He
hold degrees from the Institute
de Ensenanza Media and from the
University of Santiago, Chile.

Torrente - Ballester has a
reputation as one of the finest
writers in Spain today. He has
published books of criticism, of
which the most known is PANO-
RAMA OF CONTEMPORARY
SPANISH LITERATURE, He also
has written a number of plays
and novels, none of which has
been printed in the UnitedStates.

In the short time he has been
here, Torrente - Ballester has
grown deeply attached to the Uni-
versity. Professor Edwin Munro
of the Spanish department stated
that Torrente-Ballester ‘thas de-
veloped very quickly a great
sense of loyalty to the Univer-
sity.’? This can be evidenced by
his enthusiasm and willingness to
engage in lengthy conversations
or ‘‘terulios’ with interested
students. Dr. Munro commented
that Torrente-Ballester also has
the great talent of being an ex-
cellent extemporaneous speaker.

Professor Torrente-Ballester
is scheduled to have a new work
appearing shortly,

University Alcohol Policy
To Be Initiated This Month

ditor’s note: Because of the questions
which have arisen concerning the official
alchohol policy on campus and in considera-
tion of the recent Central Council measure

sugesting the reconvening of the Alcohol
Committee to further study the use of alcohol
in the possibly make
additions to the present alcohol policy, we
are printing the present policy in full.

residence areas and

On January 3, 1968, the University adopted the
following policies concerning the sale and service
of alcoholic beverages in the Patroon Room, and
Rathskeller of the Campus Center, at the Mohawk
Campus, Camp Dippikill, and the Goodman Place
at Dippikill. The regulations are based on the re-
commendations of the Committee to Draft Campus
Alcohol Policy, which includes both students and
faculty members.

The specific recommendations which pertain to
the Campus Center and to the off-campus facilities
which are considered adjuncts of the Campus Cen-
ter are made with the understanding that the Dir-
rector of University Food Service and the Director
of the Campus Center will be in close cooperation
regarding hours of operation of specific facilities,
and specific operational procedures for carrying
out the intended principles.

Alcoholic beverage service in the Patroon Room
and Rathskeller will be initiated at the same time.
That is, one facility should not serve alcoholic
beverages before the other.

I

"Policies and Procedures for Serving Alcoholic
Beverages in the Patroon Room

Service of alcoholic beverages in the Patroon
Room is motivated by the concept of ‘‘gracious
dining.’”? Beverages are served for the purpose of
enhancing the meal. For this reason, the following
regulations exist:

1, Service in the Patroon Room will coincide
with the hours during which food is served, for as
many days during the seven-day week that the
restaurant facility is open.

2. The Patroon Lounge, with the understanding
that it will not be reserved for special functions
when the restaurant is open, may be used as an
auxiliary facility. That is, only in conjunction with
meal serving: 2

a. for cocktails when waiting for a free table,
or prior to a reservation.
b. for after-dinner drinks,

3. Alcoholic beverages will be served by waiters
and or waitresses only. This pertains tothe routine
operation of the Patroon Room and Patroon Lounge.
Other arrangements may be made when these
facilities are reserved for special functions,

4, The University reserves the right to request
proper proof of age or identification from any
patron, Acceptable age validation would include the
SUNYA I.D, card, driver’s license, and selective
service registration certificate.

5. Should an individual who is refused service,
either due to insufficient proof of age or intoxica-
tion, become actively indignant, immediate referral
to the Director of the Campus Center, or his de-
signee, is mandated. At the discretion of the Di-
rector of the Campus Center, this individual may
be further referred tothe appropriate judicial body.

Policies and Procedures for Serving Beer in the

Establishing “open” hours when beer will be

and the non-drinker a place on campus in which to
socialize — a place that by its atmosphere, nature
and standards will encourage socially acceptable
behavior, Because the Rathskeller will be both afood

typical bar or grill will not be created.

It is also desirable that students have a ‘‘place
on campus” to drink so that they will not be forced
to go off-campus, and so that they are in a situation
which is conducive to the imparting and integration
of certain educational principles with regard to
socially acceptable behavior. In such an
atmosphere, the rights of the non-drinker are not
easily lost, hence the opportunity to learn about
the rights of both the individual and the group is
presented.

1. Service of beer is to be on a seven-day basis,
as follows:

a, Sunday - Friday: 7:00 P.M, to one-half hour
before the closing time of the Rathskeller.

b. Saturday: 2:00 PM to one-half hour before
closing.

c. At the one-half hour before closing, service
is to stop, and beer mugs are to be recalled.
2. Beer only will be dispensed from the beverage

service area.

3. 1.D. Cards:

a. Each individual must present an 1.D. card
to the bartender. Only one mug of beer per
1.D, card will be served. A non-member of the
University will be asked to present some means
of identification such as a driver’s license,

b. Bartender will retain I.D, card until empty
mug is returned.

c. Each re-ordering will necessitate the same
procedure. In this way, no one can pass a mug
to a friend (who has not presented an I.D. card)
for re-filling of same. This would necessitate
a person, additional to the bartender, to handle

this procedure.

d, Non-members of the University community
must be ‘guests’? of a member. (This means
that sponsorship by an individual faculty mem-
ber or student of an outsider is necessary. It
would then be exceedingly difficult for ‘«wander-
ers” to avail themselves of the service and
to potentially cause problems resulting from
consumption of beer.)

4, Should an individual who is refused service,
either due to insufficient proof of age or intoxica-
tion, become actively indignant, immediate referral
to the Director of the Campus Center, or his
designee, is mandated. At the discretion of the
Director of the Campus Center, this individual
may be further referred to the appropriate student
judicial body.

m
Policies and Procedures Concerning Alcohol at
Mohawk Campus, Camp Dippikill and Goodman
Place at Dippikill

At registered and approved events, and during
designated ‘open’? hours all legally-eligible mem-
bers of the University community, and their
specifically invited guests, are permitted to bring,
serve and consume their own alcoholic beverages
at the Mohawk Campus, Camp Dippikill and the
Goodman Place at Dippikill. The Student Activities-
Campus Center Office has responsibility for the
registration and approval of events, and for the
execution of the same guidelines and policies with
regard to functions at which alcohol is served, as
exist for the Campus Center.

1, No one under 18 years of age will be per-
mitted to drink;

2. The present chaperone policy shall be main-
tained;

8. The responsibility for the behavior of the
members of the group rests with the leaders.

4, The individual is expected to assume a high
degree of personal responsibility.

These regulations are promulgated with the
understanding that the responsibility for adminis-
tering the use of the Mohawk Campus, Camp
Dippikill and the Goodman Place, is vested in the
appropriate official of the Student Activities-
Campus Center Office staff.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK The Spectator
ante- officially speaking

A View of the Arts

by Robert B.Cutty

by Gary Gelt

Along with a new semester,
the end of January has ushered
in new editors for the ASP. My
position as arts editor will not
be an easy one, especially since
I follow Linda Berdan, who did
an excellent job as both Manag-
ing Editor and Arts Editor.

The arts pages in any news-
paper usually consist of news
stories and reviews pertaining
naturally enough to the arts.
This is fine but an arts sec-
tion requires something more.

It needs reviewers who are
so adept in their field that they
can pick apart a dramatic pres~
entation, musical composition,
or artistic plece and then put
all the parts together again. The
ASP has such people. Robert
Cutty, handling drama features,
and Gail Safian, working withart,
will help make this a better,

more penetrating section.
There will also be a few ad-

ditions to the page. No arts sec- _

tion is complete without a lit-
erary review. Books are of’such
importance that they must not
be ignored in favor of the more
popular movie review. The arts
section will also contain edi-
torials relating to all sections
of the arts. If possible, no area
will be neglected. These editor»
jals will not be reviews but will
consist of some honest éevalua-
tions of the arts events on cam-
pus.

Tt is true that the war in
Vietnam is a more pressing
matter than a review of anEliza~
beth Taylor movie, but the arts
pages would like very much to
receive criticism — whether fav-
orable or adverse. A letter may
not be printed but it certainly
won't be ignored.

sity. Pianist Samuel Sanders will
accompany Mr. Perlman.

Praised by Albert Goldberg in
the Los Angeles Times as ‘a
major talent among the younger
generation,” and by the New York
Times as ‘a sensational violin-
ist,’? Mr. Perlman recently made
successful appearances in New
York and Tanglewood.

In 1963, Perlman made his
first Carnegie Hall appearance,
playing with the Native Orches-
tral Association. A year later,
he scored a major triumph and
received wide acclaim as a bril-
liant young musician, winning the
coveted Leventritt Memorial
Award in international competi-
tion.

Many renowned musicians have
found the award a stepping stone
to fame, including Van Cliburn,
and for Perlman it meant con-
cert appearances with the New
York Philharmonic and other
major U.S. orchestras, as well
as $1,000 in cash,

Since then, he has embarked
on extensive concert tours in
this country, Canada and Europe.

In his Albany concert, Perl-
man will perform Beethoven’s
“Kreutzer”? Sonata, Debussy’s
Sonata in G minor, a sonata by
Veracini- and three- pieces by
Wienlawski. A donation of $3:for
patrons and $1 for student tax
card for students will serve as
admission.

There’s a certain tone evi-
dent in the best films of 1967and
it’s part of a trend in the total
arts spectrum: cruelty, perver-
sion, and sadism, all existing
for their own cynical sake. With-
out further discussion, we com-
mence the list:

“Accident”? Harold Pinter’s
intellectual brain-teaser proved
a trifle obvious, but boasted flaw-
less direction (by Joseph Losey),
beautiful cinematography, and exe
citing performances by Dirk Bo-
garde, Stanley Baker, and Vivien
Merchant.

“The Battle of Algiers:’ al-
most the best foreign movie of
the year and one ofthe best semi-
documentaries ever filmed.
Young Italian director Gillio Pon-
tecorvo is to be praised for this
heart-rending indictment of the
callousness of humanity's wars.

“Closely Watched Trains:’?
brilliant Czech film by a new
director, Jiri Menzel, that is ac-
tually perfect. Humorous, sympa-
thetic study of a young man
emerging into the shadow of ma-
turity with an excellent perform.
ance by Vaclav Neckar.

“Cool Hand Luke;’? Don Pear
ce’s fascinating portrait of an
American idol, the social rebel,
is gently transferred to the
screen by first-film director Stu-
art Rosenberg. Lovely color pho-
tography is matched by Oscar-
caliber performances by Paul
Newman, Jo Van Fleet, and
George Kennedy, with good act»
ing also from J.D, Cannon,
Strother Martin, Lou Antonio,
and Robert Drivas.

“The Deadly Affair:’? John Le
Carré’s cynical account of the
deadly emotional involvement of
an intelligence officer, his wife,
his friends, and a spy ring is
translated to the screen with
precise cinematography andcold,
heartless cruelty by American
Art director Sidney Lumet. Stun-
ning performances are garnered
from a cast of top-notch Thes-
plans, including James Mason,
Maximillian Schell, Simone Sig-
noret, Harry Andrews, and Roy
Kinnear.

“Divorce American Style:’?
surprisingly mature study by
screenwriter Norman Lear and
director Bud Yorkin of Amer-
ican family follies and foibles.
Dick Van Dyke, Debbie Reynolds,
and Jason Robards are worthy
of Oscars, and they’re backed up
by Jean Simmons, Van Johnson,
Joe Flynn, Emmaline Henry, Tom

March 1, will be the opening
night: for the 13th annual State
University Revue. This year the
Revue is the off-Broadway hit
musical — THE FANTASTIKS
and is under the direction of
Ellis Kaufman. The show current-
ly is the longest running play in
New York and has been selling
out for eight years. There have

world.

Simply, it is the story of a boy
and girl in love. The central
theme {is that of experience: chil-
dren must experience hurt, or
they never will mature or be able
to develop a meaningful romance,

The play is somewhat stylized
and has as its central figure, a
narrator who assumes different
roles during the play. He is
assisted by a Mutewhose function
is essentially to function,

Taking the role ofthe Narrator
is Charles Bartlett, a senior who
has had major roles in many plays
most noteworth being Lysis-
trata, Of Mice and Men, and
Carnival. Kenneth Fisher, who
appeared in Carnival and Side-
show, is playing the role of the
Mute, John Webb and Jay Kuper-
man portray the Fathers; Robert
Clayton and Donald Terry take
the roles of the Old Actor and
The Man Who Dies,

The show will run for 11 per-
formances from March 1 to
March 11 exceft Tuesday and
Wednesday. OnSaturday evenings
there will be two performances.

‘Pilgrimage’ Successful
According To Students

“The Interfaith Pilgrimage
was very successful as 154 of us
carrying over $2,000 and 46ofus
carrying packages of medical
supplies addressed to Red Cross
agencies and earmarked for the
relief of Civilian Casualties in
all parts of Vietnam crossed the
Peace Bridge into Canada.” The
statement was made by Carol
Crandel and Walter John Clark.

As part of the Interfaith Pil-
grimage they walked through
American Customs with packages
earmarked for Vietnam andwere
warned of the illegality of their
actions. Some were asked tosur-
render packages but did notcom-
ply with the wishes of the of
ficials.

As the group passed over the
Peace Bridge into Canadatoward
Canadian customs they received
word that the Canadian govern-
ment reversed an earlier policy
and would now allow packages to
be exported from Canada for re-
Hef of civilian victims in Viet-
nam. Canadian officials greeted
the pilgrims warmly, extended
New Year’s wishes and aided
them in rewrapping packages
opened for United States officials,
The group then proceeded to
Toronto to present the funds to
the Canadian Friends Service
Committee. The committee will
use the money for the relief of
suffering civilians in Vietnam.

During the course of the pil-
grimage several speeches were
delivered expounding the ideals
of the marchers.

Ross Flanagan, leader of a
Quaker Action Group spoke of
the reaction of the State Depart-
ment when it denied an applica-
tion for a license to take medical
Supplies into North Vietnam,
Flanagan stated that he was told:
“It appears that you would place
yourselves above the President,’?
To this he replied, ‘It is not our-
selves, but our God whom we
would place above the Presi-
dent.” To this he received the
retort, ‘Your conception of
God.??

Flanagan also commented on
the comparisons with Nazi Ger-
many and the biting question
‘Where are the good Ameri-
cans?’ He said the analogy for
our situation is one with the
biblical King Herod. Now it is a
jealousy for power which is ruth-
lessly seeking out the child of
revolution, he stated. The
message he had to give was that
the child of revolution could not
be destroyed by military force
but that violence could only be
avoided by ending the conditions
that are breeding revolutions.

Father McFoley followed
Flanagan’s speech with the an-
nouncement that Pope Paul VI
had given a personal gift of

$100,000 to CAIRITOS, a Catholic
international agency which will
use the funds for the relief of
suffering civilians in Vietnam.
McFoley spoke of General West-
morelands request that Catholic
Charities in Vietnam provide ex-
tra food to the families of mem-
bers of the South Vietnamese.
army. ‘

Rabbi Feinberg, who had visit-
ed Hanoi during the period be-
tween Christmas and New Years
during 1966, also spoke.

He expressed his delight at
seeing those who were willing to
violate the law of our nation to
affirm that ‘‘no human being is
our enemy.’? He commented that
man’s true enemy is the de-
humanization of man, the grow-
ing acceptance of violence, and
the growing inhumanity that
Americans are willing to accept.

Feinberg stated that the people
of North Vietnam would ‘‘rather
die than surrender. The bombing
which is stiffening the resistance
of the North Vietnames people
should be immediately and un-
conditionally ended.’?

According to the Rabbi the
people perceive themselves as
fighting to maintain their own
independence. He had heardnoth-
ing of the preservation let alone
the spread of communism. He ex-
pressed his belief that the NLF
truly represents the interests of
the South Vietnamese and that
Americans must divorce them-
Selves ‘‘from that paragon of
democracy, the military junta’
that at present controls South
Vietnam,

The Rabbi spoke of the feel-
ings the Vietnames have for the
United States. They patterned
their Declaration of Independence
after the United States document,
It begins with ‘All men are
created equal.’?

He called attention tothe amaz-
ing inconsistancy of the govern.
ment, It protested the North Viet-
namese government return of
gift parcels earmarked for
American pilots downed over
North Vietnamese territory as
inhumane. But the government
denied the civilians who are ac-
cidential victims of boming
medical aid by prohibiting Ameri-
cans from sending such aid to
them by normal means.

Feinberg called those on the
pilgrimage who were willing to
risk the penalty of the state as
they attempted to show that their
love of mankind transcends na-
tional boundaries “the saving
remanent,”?

Rabbi Feinberg’s words ‘I see
by the headlines inthis morning’s
paper: ‘*Westmoreland reports
Progress 80,000 Enemy Dead.’
I trust you'll reject that definition
of progress, We wanttosee some
real progress,’? echoed through
the pilgrimage,

State U. At Westbury-

by Fredda Jaffee

The new State University Col-
lege at Westbury will open in
September, two years ahead of
schedule, catering to a small
experimental group of students,
whose major goals will be di-
rected towards dealing with
“pressing urban problems,??
Visions of the rolling hills of a
Long Island campus, fashioned
out of a plush estate, may appear
rather incompatible with an im-
age of the teaming slums. How-
ever, Harris Wofford, president
of the new college, defends his
plans in terms of Toynbee’s idea
that you must ‘¢withdraw and re«
turn.’’ He wants his new venture
in education to be “involved, not
engulfed,” and feels that by

On a recent Saturday, in con-
junction with a flurry of Christ-
mas spirit and the Smiles pro-
gram, a small segment of our
braver and more patient souls
entertained young visitors from
the South End of Albany. On the
surface the event appeared less
then excruiciating; the kids calm-
ly devoured refreshments, tore
open their gifts, and proceeded
to race through the dorms for
two hours of pandemonium. But
there were some glaring ques-
tions which seemed toundermine
the festivities; Aren’t we creating
a rather artificial situation when
we transport them intoa different
world, feign interest in them for
one isolated afternoon and then
return them, dismissing their
problems with a sigh of reliet,
patting ourselves on the back
with a false sense of benevolence?
The new Westbury campus bears
implications of the unfortunate
isolated - insulated status of the
majority of campuses.

Further consideration should
be given to the existing “ivory
tower” coricept of higher educa-
tion. The ‘outside world” is a
rather formidable item which
we tend to overlook whén we
become engrossed in personal

Rain, Workers

Cause Fiasco

The urgent need for the moye-
ment to change the consciousness
of the American working class be-
came evident at arecent anti-war
demonstration,

Rain began falling as an anti-
war rally was taking place onthe
campus of the State University at
Stony Brook, soa janitor came out
to take down the U.S, flag,

When a group of construction
workers on a nearby job saw the
flag being lowered, they assumed
the students were about todeface
it. So they rushed to the scene,
stomping on students, the janitor
and even some of the school ad-
ministrators.

us. A hackneyed position, per-
haps, but one that hasnot carried
enough strength. We possess an
unlimited stream of resources
and our position in society per-
mits us a headstrong, potent,
and flexible role. Yet scholastic
isolation itself, whether in Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, or Plattsburgh,
New York, stifles any hopes of
creativity. There is also the
possibility of building a utopia
within the boundaries of a uni-
versity, encouraging a realistic
application to radiate into sur-
rounding areas. However, such
dreams rarelv materialize,

While the City University is
pressing plans for a new four
year institution to be situated on
a scenic penisula in Queens,
Mayor Lindsay prefers a more
realistic site in rundown South
Jamaica. He feels that this will
stimulate rebirth,

The Universities of Chicago
and Pennsylvania have become
city rebuilders, expanding ener-
gies and expenses to meet the
challenge of urban renewal,
Vassar college will soon re-
locate in downtown Manhattan,
while N,Y.U. and Columbia are
considering suburban locations
for faculty and research, en-
couraging the ‘withdraw and re-
turn” theory. Another unit of the
State University in suburban
Westchester, hoping toadmit stu-
dents in 1970, will create an
active branch in Lincoln Center,
geared towards the Arts.

These basic differences will
not be easily solved, Should we
establish centers of education

within the ghetto, creating almost

a fortress of strength upon which
to base further growth, or should
colleges be situated beyond the
crucial areas to calmly plan
future strategy rather than in
the midst of the storm?

There seem to be many valid
reasons for establishing on-the-
Scene-involvement, For instance,
Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania was
the scene of an effort begun after
World War II to revitalize a de-
pressed coal-mining community.
Wilkes College provided graduate
departments in various fields in
coordination with new labora~
tories offered by RCA. A cultural
and academic give-and-take en-
hanced both partners involved.

It is time that we correlate
the pressing, yearning demands
of urban slums with the equally
disturbing situation of ‘Peter
Pan” type institutions whose
“‘Never-neverland” — approach
Jead us only further astray. There
may be no answer to the ques-
tion of where new colleges should

be built if they are to tackle the
urban crisis. Universities can
fail in suburban pastures or on
low district street corners. The
challenge lies in not being obess-
ed with scholastic fields or non-
intellectual activism, and in en-
gaging in the urban battle for sur-
vial rather than becoming a cap-
tive in foreign territory. Centers
of higher learning must take into
consideration both components in
future planning, and integrate
them into a feasible and effective
whole,

MilitaryRecruiters
Barred AT G.W.U.

All military recruiting on the
campus of the George Washington’
University was banned last week
in an order by university presi-
dent Lloyd H, Elliott.

The action was explicitly in
response to Lt. Gen. Lewis G,B.
Hershey’s letter to draft boards
urging punitive drafting for pro-
testors,

Elliott said that industrial re-
cruiters (such as the representa-
tives of Dow which produces
napalm used in Vietnam) would
continue to be welcome on the
campus,

David Ganz, a spokesman for
the George Washington chapter of
Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) welcomed the action but,
criticized Elliott for “handing
it on a platter.’? The way he did
it, Ganz explained, ‘the students
avoid responsibility for a de-
cision they ought to make,’?

Ganz said he felt the ban on
military recruiters would be
temporary, since Hershey’s
stand is not likely to withstand
the attack on it.

Press Conf

(Continued from Pg. 1)

Formerly there were 6 buses
running as late as 1 a.m, and it
was felt by the Transportation
Service that there was not enough
demand for buses at these hours,

Contrary to’ public opinion Col-
lins commented that the new
change in scheduling was posted
before the holiday under glass in
the bus stops; he also remarked
that although other efforts were
made to post the changes, the
Posters were rapidly stolen or
disappeared,

He commented that perhaps the
action has been too drastic on
the part of the Transportation
Department and that they are
presently reviewing the case to
see whether it would be possible
to operate one or two buses at
lam,

and a more efficient salad bar has finally opened.

“The State University of New York at
Albany has long been dedicated to high
standards of intellectual excellence. Its
methods are those of free inquiry, the
consideration of alternatives, and the mak-
ing of choices. In its human relationships
it provides for a maximum of individual
responsibility.

“‘The characteristics of the university
make detailed description of behavior un-
desirable and the tradition of freedom
places high value on the ability of the in-
dividual to make choices and determine
his own way of action.”’ ‘Student Guide-
lines 1967-68’; page 22; Part IV, Personal
Responsibilities; section entitled ‘‘Stan-
dards of Conduct.””

All this may be true; however there is
one case of “‘human relationships’’ in
which the student is not permitted to make
his own decision, in the freedom to judge
for himself his conduct with guests of the
opposite sex in his own room during Open
House, or Open Room Visitation.

For “‘Guidelines’’ further outlines these
aspects of individual freedoms in Part Vii,

Residences; section entitled ‘‘Residence
Guests,’’ No. 2, which specifies that “The
doors of bedrooms and studies remain
open during this time. In general, these
events last two or three hours.’”

It seems to us that this tacitly states
that there will be no heterosexual rela-
tions in anybody’s room, at any time, no
matter what, which is in effect a forced
moral decision. :

Violators of this ‘understanding’ will
undoubtedly fall under the section of
“Student Conduct,’’ No. 3; ‘Disorderly
or indecent behavior’ subject to discip-
linary action by the University.

It seems to us that students, encourag-
ed by the University to become adult
and individual in their own relationships,
should be allowed some privacy during
specified open houses.

The only people involved in any moral
decisions on the matter should be the resi-
dents having the same living quarters. It
should concern no one else. We hope this

policy will be abolished as soon as
possible.

The formation of the new Teachers’
Draft Counseling Committee this week,
headed by John Reilly of the English De-
partment, merits the appreciation of the
University Community.

It is rewarding to us to think that these
individuals will give their time to learning
to counsel others on the legal alternatives
to the draft.

It is important to realize that they are
not a lobbyist group, nor are they designed
to disseminate propaganda; rather they
see themselves as offering a “‘sympathetic
ear’’ to those young men who are in doubt
as to what to do when faced withthe draft.

We have already stated our abhorrence

for a policy which forces those people
morally committed against the war to
fight under conscription, especially when
this system becomes an unofficial punitive
organ. Unfortunately, when the time
comes, many young men are in doubtasto
their legal alternatives. The absence of
sympathetic aid is all too evident.

To make matters worse the Selective
Service has now formulated a new system
of graduate deferment which is not close
to being democratic.

We believe the nature of the war the
United States is presently involved in
merits this unwillingness on the part of
its young men, and support all attempts
to aid them,

Notes from the Movement

by Peter Pollak Editor, ALBANY LIBERATOR

Some say progress has been
made in the area of civil rights.
They say that segregation has dis-
appeared and discrimination is
being outlawed. They say that
lynching is a thing of the past
and legal justice is available
to ally

Yet a legalized lunching of
five black students is the object
of a trial beginning in Houston,
Texas this week. The five have
been charged with committing
murder, conspiring to commit
murder, and felonious rioting in
connection with events occurring
on May 16, 1967 on the campus
of Texas Southern Univer-
sity (TSU).

The Houston Police hope to
convict the five of murder and
thereby rid the city of “black
power advocates.’?

The “black power advocates’?
in this case, members of a mili+
tant Friends of SNCC chapter,
had participated with other TSU
students in two protest activi-
ties that day in Houston.

It was the second day of a
demonstration protesting condi-
tions at a dump in the Sunnyside
section of the city. Residents
complained that obnoxious odors,
rats, smoke and raw sewage from
the dump permeated the commun-
ity. The residents with the aid of
TSU students attempted to block
the garbage trucks from enter-
ing the dump and Houston’s may-
or, Louis Welch, responded
by ordering police with dogs and
clubs to arrest the demonstrat-
ors.

TSU students were also in-
volved in a peaceful picketing of
recently integrated Northwood
Junior High School in protest
to unequal punishment of black
students involved in a scuffle
with white students. 19 TSU stu-
dents were arrested by 200 Hous
ton police,

A rally of about 125 students
was held on the TSU campus that
evening with students mapping
plans for further demonstrations.
Policemen who were “guarding”?
the rally arrested a student who
they claim threw a watermelon
rind at their car for possession
of a concealed weapon. The

charge later was dropped.

The police called in more pa-
trol cars and students began to
greet them with bottles and
bricks. A temporary truce was
arranged and the police with-
drew. The students then bar-,
Tacaded themselves from the po=
lice, blocking off Wheeler St., a
main thoroughfare which bisects
the campus and hasbeena source
of conflict between students and
the city.

Hundreds of police returned
—the number was later estimated
at over 500. The students ree
treated to their dormitories and
over 5,000 rounds of ammunition
were fired wildly against the
buildings by police. In the pro-
cess, one student and one police-
man were wounded, another po=
liceman was hit fatally.

The police rampaged through
the dorms, dragging students out-
side, beating some, abusing
many. In a supposed search for
weapons, they destroyed $15,000
of personal property.

The police arrested 488 stu-
dents and released all except
five. The five were held in jail
for more than a month before
they could post bail of $10,000.

‘The police found three guns, but
it was not reported whether any
of these had been fired. The
weapon(sy that police claim in-
jured the policemen have not
been found.

Of the five students held one
was in another part of the city
at the time. He and another stu-
dent were arrested the next day
as leaders of the SNCC group,
based on files kept by the Hous-
ton police.

I feel none of these five men
are guilty of the charge of mur-
der or conspiring to commit mur-
der. Student witnesses maintain
that both policemen were hit by
ricocheting bullets. The stu-
dent who was injured was hit in
the back.

I feel also the five are not guilty
of inciting a riot. A report pre=
pared by the student council which
was refused as evidence by the
McClellan Committee stated that

COMMENT

by William M, Leve

It is very likely that this will
be the iast semester of peace
and sweet reasonableness for
most large American universi-
ties. If the war continues to es-
calate, as it seems certain to
do, and if the vindictive, reac-
tionary, and evil old man who
heads the Selective Service
bureaucracy continues to mold
the Draft to implement his own
contempt for education and youth,
then the Spring of 1968 will
see an unparalleled outburst of
anti-war student demonstrations
both on and off campus.

The targets will be local Draft
Boards, on-campus recruiters
for the Armed Service and de-
fense-oriented industries, and,
increasingly, the administrations
of the universities themselves.
It is also probable that most col-
lege administrations will re-
spond withincreased physicaland
political repression. This is the
pattern being played out now at
Berkeley, where students show
almost complete solidarity be-
hind a demand for an end to
administration interference in
campus-based demonstrations,
and where their demands are
running head-on into a united
front of faculty, administration,
and California politicans whoare
equally dedicated to peace and
quiet at any cost, The likely
result, as an article in this
week’s Village Voice prophe-
sized, is the destruction of the
University, whose morale has ale
ready been undermined by the
prospect of losing all its grad-
uate students next September.

The Berkeley pattern is like.
ly to spread. With few excep-
tions, college administrations

and the majority of faculties
are not willing to participate in
the turbulent anti-war move-
ment if participation means en-
dangering any of the financial lar~
gess that is so amply showered
upon research-oriented schools
by government and industry. Ex-
cept for Harvard, Wayne State
University, and a few other in-
stitutions, college have been un=
willing even to take the purely
symbolic step of denying campus
facilities to military, CIA, or
defense industry recruiters,
Most administrations wrap them-
selves in the banner of ‘‘free~
dom of information,’? maintain
ing the convenient fiction thatre-
cruiting is purely an informa-
tional service, and therefore im-
mune from screening by the uni-
versity. (Would most universi-
ties tolerate recruitment for
prostitutes, drug pushers, or
maybe a student homosexual
elub?)

The war in Viet Nam and the
Draft are forcing students to-
ward political awareness at a
rapid rate. This awareness is
leading to action, which helps
to further polarize political opin-
ion within universities. The re-
sulting conflict can easily de
stroy any college, At the pres-
ent time, college administrations
still have time to reexamine
their role as manpower suppliers
to the military-industrial com-
plex. They may even choose to
fight with their students against
American society’s suicidalrush
towards international violence.
But the time is short: the pase
sage of events is rapidly hem-
ming in their freedom of ace
tion. In time, the only role left
for them to play may be a re-
pressive and brutal one.

The Right Way

by Robert Iseman

During the 1950s college cam-
puses throughout the United
States were characterized by the
apathy of their students. Colleg-
iates cared little and knew little
about their political and social
environment. Because of this at-
titude, the American public ap-
pealed to college students to be-
come active and take an interest
in the forces that were going to
influence their lives, and indeed
the entire world. The response to
this plea for involvement result-
ed in the emergence of student
demonstrations, committees and
clubs. Although this activist trend
is in many ways beneficial, it
also contains certain dangers
which should be considered.

The greatest peril threatening
this student movement is con-
stituted by the extremist groups
who try to lure college students
into their grasp. The college cam-
pus is surrounded by an aura
of idealism and learning, and
many times is divorced from
reality. As a result of these
conditions, a college stu-
dent, who is at an impression-
able age anyway, might easily
be duped by extremists of the
left or right.

For instance, Communist
Party-USA has an extensive pro-
gram for recruiting and ine
doctrinating America’s youth. J,
Edgar Hoover said, ‘The party
feels that our nation is witness-
ing a new upsurge of leftist think-
ing among young people which
makes the Communist message
more palatable. The party, of
course, is exploiting this trend.”

To further emphasize the Com-
munist?s desire to pollute and
exploit American youth is the
fact that during the academic
years from 1961-65 Communist

Speakers averaged 50 appear-
ances on college campuses. Dur-
ing the 1965-66 academic year
they spoke on 69 campuses.
However, the Reds arenotcon-
tent to merely speak and leave.
In their wake they organizeCom-
munist youth groups, and per-
suade other pre-existing organ-
izations to follow them. Some of
this Communist or Communist
affiliated groups are W.E.B, Du-
Bois Clubs, the Young Socialist
Alliance, Youth Against War and
Fascism, and Students for
a Democratic Society (SDS).
“This group (DuBois Clubs) to-
gether with other so called ‘new
left’ organizations such as the
SDS work constantly in further-
ance of the aims and objectives
of the Communist Party through-
out the nation. Communist Party
Secretary Gus Hall described
these groups as part of the ‘re-
sponsible left’ that the party has
‘going forus.’ ” (testimony -
House Subcommittee on Appro-
priations for 1968). ;
Tam not suggesting that every=
one cease from joining student
organizations. However, I do be-
lieve that it is essential that
you carefully investigate any
group you plan to join. It is in-
edded unfortunate when young
people who have legitimate
concern for the problems oftheir
country become involved with
subversive groups. As for the stu-
dents at the University, would
you join an organization (SDS)
that Gus Hall, head of the Com«
munist Party USA has describ-
ed as a group the party has
“going for us??? We must be
certain that in an effort to ime
prove ourselves and our system,
we are not blindly aiding an
idealogy which seeks to destroy
use and free people everywhere.

Writes On Vietnam Scene

To the Editor;

Before entering into a dis-
cussion of the War in Viet Nam
which is based on my own obser=
vation, a few basic facts should
be brought out for foundation.

Well we know that our govern-
ment’s purpose for fighting in
Viet Nam is ‘‘to protect the peo-
ple and government of South Viet-
nam from Communist aggres-
sion.” There are facts however
which make this purpose weak
at best.

—South Viet Nam was not in-
vaded by the North until after
the United States had begun bomb-
ing raids on the North.

—The Viet Cong are South
Vietnamese who began their re-
bellion against dictatorial gov-
ernments in their own country
and who are now fighting in op»
Position to United States imper-
ialism.

These two facts alone are suf-
ficient to prove that the United
States is not fighting a war of
protection or liberation, but rath-
er one of intervention in a coun-
try’s domestic affairs.

Rebuttal for United States
policy: ‘The United States was
asked to intervene by the gov-
ernment of South Viet Nam’? ...
This is true, however, the Viet
Cong, being South Vietnamese,
were not and are not represent.
ed by the government of South
Viet Nam although they are citi-
zens, but in rebellion.

Our administration has stat-
ed time and again that, ‘“‘we want
nothing for ourselyes in Viet
Nam? (i.e. we are not engaged
for imperialism). Here is where
direct observation of affairs in
‘Viet Nam are shockingly opposite
in their implications.

Off Center

by M.J. Rosenberg

1968 is now upon us and it
already seems destined to be,
politically at least, a disaster.
Every major publication and
virtually every columnist in-
forms us that this November
the American people shall be
faced with a choice between Rich-
ard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson.
This is tragic as an electoral
contest like that can do more to
vitiate the Democratic process
than the fearedCommunists could
ever hope to accomplish in the
United States, Every public opin-
ion poll demonstrates that the
American people would like to
see a choice between Nelson
Rockefeller and Robert F, Ken-
nedy. The people neither like or
trust Messrs. Nixon and John-
son, but we Americans havecome
to accept the idea that the bosses
and not the people choose our
leaders. I believe that we call
this the American political tra-
dition. And therefore we ac-
cept the alleged inevitability of
a Johnson-Nixon race. More than
anything else, it is sad and dis-
illusioning.

Remember 1960? That was the
year that John Kennedy supposed-
jy ushered in a new era inAmer-
ican politics. He entered primar-
ies in twenty-five states and won
every one. And then he was nom-
inated, and his election proved
that a man could be elected even
if he challenged some of our
more cherished assumptions.
Maybe we should have known way
back then that the Kennedy exper-
ience was not to be the, norm,
After all, even against so sterile
an opponent as Nixon, the Amer-
ican people only gave him 50
per cent of the vote. But it look-
ed as though a new generation
had taken over and that the ‘safe
mediocrity of the past’? was not
going to be good enough. In No«
vember, 1962, all the talk was

about the Kennedy-Rockefeller
bout that was two years hence,
And Nixon was through. If the
California defeat did not in it-
self destroy him; then his vindic-
tive and tearful concession
speech did. And Lyndon Johnson
was buried in the anonymity of

the Vice-Presidency and he was
not expected to ever surface.
This was to be a new day and
in the 1960s there was going
to be no room for the Nixons
and the Johnsons, November
22, 1963 changed everything. Not
only did we lose the man who was
the greatest leader of the gen-
eration, but we seemed to have
Jost our bearing too.

So now it seems as though we
have turned the clock back. The
resurrection of the Eisenhower
era is apparently complete. Un-
less there is a radical change in
the situation, we are going to
have to choose between Johnson
and Nixon.

And we are going to hear
them debate as to which of them is
more anti-Communist, more anti-

crime in the streets, more pro
“peace without surrender’ and
more likely to create the moral
society. Unlike 1964 there is one
issue that will not arise; with
“Credibility Gap’? Johnson and
“Checkers”? Nixon as candidates,
we shall not hear much about
integrity and honesty.

That’s the way it looks at the
dawn of 1968. One had hoped
that the demonstrations and the
riots could end this year. One
felt that we could all put down
our placards and return to what
Governor Rockefeller calls ‘the
mainstream’? of American de-
mocracy. It does not look as if
things are going to happen quite
that way. It’s back to the streets,
kids. There will be no place else
to go this November.

Review Of The New Right Wing

In Saigon, Bien Hoa, Ton Sun
Nhut, Plieku, Da Nang and other
cities there are extremely per-
manent looking concrete air
fields with complete central tow-
ers andaircraft hangers. Inevery
city of reasonable size and at
every division base camp there
are wooden, metal and concrete
and steel buildings fully elec-
trified and many with air condi-
tioning. At these same areas
there are blacktopped roads built
by the United States and many
are being built daily. Also in
these areas there are compre-
hensive PXs, Snack bars, serv-
ice clubs and libraries. These
are not tents, ready to be pulled
down as soon as we free South
Viet Nam from Communist ag-
gression, but permanent struc-
tures for the well being, and
entertainment of, yes, “Yankee
imperialists.”

The American public has also
been swamped with tales of “paci-
fication and friendship pro-
grams.” True, those exist to a
small extent, but on a much
more complete level of U.S,
atrocities. °

Child Labor — too often have
seen Vietnamese children as
young as five years of age fill-
ing and carrying sandbags and
building walls, and bunkers with
them. Under the armed super-
vision of American GIs! Labor
such as this was not tolerated
for American children and was
condemned long ago. More often
have I seen Vietnamese children
unloading trash andgarbage from
American trucks so as to leave
the GI free to protect them from
“Communist domination.” Mean-
while Vietnamese adults work
as galley slaves in the kitchens
of our mess halls at every Amer-
ican base camp in Viet Nam.
Incidentally, I have often seen
Vietnamese working as trash
pickers and latrine cleaners.
Perhaps this is not too shock-
ing. Perhaps the Vietnamese want
to do this work, But why is it
that the United States imports
Koreans to work at much less
menial jobs in our snack bars
and PX’s? These people work
as clerks and waitresses while
the Vietnamese are resigned to
subservience,

Further, and perhaps most
shocking is the fact that outside
every large US base camp, there
are areas of organized prosti-
tution districts which are sup-
ported by the U.S. government.
The women in these areas are
inspected regularly by U.S. gov~
ee employees to protect
the GI’s against venereal dis-
ease. The women are Viet-
namese,

Another fact whichis practical-
ly unknown to the American pub-
lic is that the Americans are de-
stroying the Vietnamese economy
through inflation, The GI who is

able to, (andthere are many more
GI’s near cities than constantly
in the jungle) goes into town
often with his pocket full of money
which has been convertedto Viet-
namese plasters.

He is able to buy goods at a
far higher price than the aver-
age Vietnamese, and thus, the
merchant is able to raise his
price so high that his country-
men can’t possibly afford his
merchandise. This is doubled
when you realize that the South
Vietnamese forces are paid by
the United States.

Now a ‘How would you feel
if?’ Imagine yourself in your
own home town. How would you
feel if every day, or every othe
er day tanks rumbled down your
street. These tanks are often fol-
lowed by 30 or 40 armed infan-
trymen who search your house
looking for weapons or for reb=
els (your brother or cousin is
probably a rebel): Anything lay-
ing around in your house that
strikes these men’s fancy is
simply pocketed. Then the men
go on their merry way stomp-
ing through your garden on the
way out. Oh yes, these men are
about 7-714 feet tall, (they’ve got
to be to correspond to our height
over the Vietnamese.) That night,
artillery rounds explode all
around your town and a few mis-
directed ones fall on your neigh-
bor’s house or possibly yours,
completely demolishing the home
and killing “Mr. Jenkins” or
maybe the babysitter and your
Kid sister. This is Viet Nam.

Lastly, viewing the economy,
in South Viet Nam, the economy
is almost totally agrarian, and
the villages are established on
@ socialistic cooperative basis,
At present, this is the most prac-
tical economic system for South
Viet Nam. Our system of capital-
ism would destroy the average
people here. The average Viet~
namese hasn’t capital for a sys-
tem of private enterprise, and
thus, their cooperatives are their
only protection from the possible
exploitation of them by the very
few wealthy. Yet, the Great White
United States is adamantly op-
Posed to any economy other than
capitalism, which, since it is
effective in the United States
4> therefore the best for all na-

“vhat terribly warped logic.

That is how I see Viet Nam.

President Johnson is being
frighteningly Captain Ahabesque
in his obsessed pursuit of the
Great White Whale of Commu.
nism, and has been blinded from
seeing the immorality of the con-
tinuation of the war.

A. Edward Lange
4th Infantry Division
Vietnam

by Ray Bertrand

It seems as if every time some-
one mentions he is a conserva-
tive, the average person pictures
him standing there wearing a
coonskin cap, carrying a flag
with thirteen stars, and talking
about the ‘good old days,’? Al.
though I admit that this is better
than wearing hair down to your
nose, carrying a flag with a
hammer and sickle, and plotting
tomorrow’s revolutions, it is a
false portrait of the conserya-
tive.

The conservative thinks of him-
self as a bread-winner, a pro-
gressive, and a man who cherish-
es his rights and freedoms. He
is as opposed to reaction as the
most extreme leftist. He believes
in a nation that can grow tech-
nologically, but he also values
the traditions of hard work and
clean living that were given to
him by his ancestors. He thinks
of a future America where every-
one can earn his money and live
a rewarding life, not of some
vague Utopia in which the state
Provides man with everything.
Of course, he looks to the past,
not with revering eyes, but rather

with analytical ones, He doesn’t
see the 1920’s as the greatest
time to duplicate, He doesn’t want
to copy any time in the Past; he
wants to help build a better fu-
ture, He doesn’t view capitalism
as an outdated system, He sees
it as the only fiar system, one
which has proven it can work,

Another picture of the conser-
vative is the Nazi soldier who
delights in slaughtering Jews,
Catholics, Puerto Ricans, Orien-
tals, and Negroes. This, too, is
an incorrect picture. A conser-
vative prefers other criteria by
which to judge men than skin
color or religion, He doesn’t
judge what they do. Bigots, to
conservatives, are narrow-mind-
ed idiots. Hate-peddlers find no
Place in the conservative camp.
By the same token, idealistic
love-peddlers find no place also,
They can play around with their
flowers all they want, and ex-
plain the evils of capitalism.
I personally feel that this is
due to a natural allergy to work
and or decency,

A third picture of the conser-
vative is the war-monger. He de-
lights in killing people. Of late,

COMMUNICATIONS

Anti-Johnson

To the Editor:

With the passage of more than
adequate time to properly test
and evaluate the Vietnam related
policies and actions of the Pres-
ident, one must conclude that his
re-election would not be in the
best interest of the Democratic
Party, but of greater impor=
tance, the interest of the coun-
try. The detailed substantiation
of this conclusion is beyond the
scope of this letter, but one
method of obtaining the goal
is not.

Currently the one reasonable,
logical and lawful method open
to concerned Democrats is to
deny Mr. Johnson the Party’s
nomination. To promote this
course of action calls for actual
and potential sacrifices from
those closely affiliated with the
Party. But, to some individuals,
the demands for ‘party loyalty’
come second to what they be-
Heve is of significant national
concern.

Having been a supporter of
Mr. Johnson, I find it neces-
sary to change my position.
He no longer represents the
ideals for which I voted in 1964,
and for which the country stood
the four preceding years, There-
fore, in encouraging and prais-
ing the decenting Democrats
and their cause, I cast my lot
with theirs.

Sincerely,

Gary Proud
Democratic Chairman
16th Ward, 12th District

ROTC Poll

To the Editor:

On January 4 on the dinner
lines, Living Area Affairs Com-
mission administered a poll to
*tascertain whether or not there
is sufficient student desire to
establish a non-compulsary Air
Force ROTC Program at Al-
bany.”? There are several as-
pects of this poll that I ques-
tion. The first is whether it is
within the jurisdiction of LAAC
to poll the students concerning
curriculum rather than that of
Academic Affairs.

After I questioned the person
who administered the poll on
Dutch Quad he inferred that it
was done upon the ‘request’?
of Dean Thorne. Therefore my
second point questions whether
LAAC is a tool of Thorne and
what services he expects from
them.

My third point is that women
were excluded from this poll.
I appreciate the fact that wom-
en are not eligible for ROTC,
but I do not appreciate that they
were not given an opinion in this
poll which might contribute to
a significant change in Univer-
sity policy. It is more than a
question of ROTC in place of
physical education; it is one of
allowing the armed forces into
the curriculum of SUNYA, LAAC
should represent the women as
well as the men both in and out
of University residences.

I am especially disappointed
that LAAC did not seem to put
much thought into this question
which merits much more consid-
eration. In view of these points
I question the validity of the
poll; I would like to see one
presented thoughtfully by those
who are best in the position to
do so — as I see it, Academic
Affairs.

YEA Security

To the Editor:

I would like to commend the
Campus Security force of this
University. I have read quite
a bit in columns within this
newspaper, and heard in general
conversation, remarks which
might lead one to believe that

the credentials of the Campus
Police weren’t those which might
be expected of a security force.

If their job is to aid the Uni-
versity community in maintaining
some sort of order as far as
traffic and parking are concern-
ed, I think that their work is
quite satisfactory, while very
unrewarding. But their job goes
beyond that, as those who have
needed their help should be able
to verify.

lam writing this letter main-
ly to compliment the fast, cour-
teous and timely aid that I re-
ceived from the Campus Police
on Dec. 20. At about 8:30 that
evening my wife decided to have
a baby that wasn’t due for three
weeks. She called the Security
Office and through their prompt
action I was transported home,
my wife picked up, and we were
driven to the hospital (and, if
I may use a cliche) just in the
nick of time.

On my behalf I would like to
say ‘Thank You,” to the Cam-
pus Police. I am sure there are
many others on this campus who
could say the same.

Sincerely yours,
David P, Moore

Needs vs. Books

To the Editor:

Recently I acquired a some-
what disturbing piece of know-
ledge from a reliable source,
It seems that one member of
the Bookstore Advisory Board
would like to turn the State Uni-
versity Bookstore into a Scib-
ner’s, Drugs, records, cards,
cameras, sweatshirts, and other
assorted non-literary items such
as school supplies are unnec-
essary for the student, says this
misaligned faculty member. The
Bookstore, he says, should be
just that, selling a greatly in
creased stock of paperbacks and
hardbound volumes, including
such things as encyclopedias, and
carrying an almost nonexistant

stock of such unimportant things
as notebooks. In short, this
faculty member would like the
Bookstore to cater to the faculty
and not to the students, F

I must agree that the more
books that are offered for sale,
the more completely the store
will be serving the University,
However, the Bookstore also is
meant to serve the needs of the
students’ daily life, Cigarettes,
drugs, and other sundries are
necessities for the student, who
does not want to walk through
the cold to Stuyvesant Plaza to
buy a bar of soap, It would be
advisable to devote the present
facilities solely to the sale of
books only if another spot on
campus were available for sale
of other items, but since the
available space on campus is
nil, anyone who wants an en
cyclopedia will have to use the
library’s,

While the bookstore is no
Scribner’s, it is no Rexall’s
either. In fact, when it completes
its reorganization and restocking
of its shelves it will have reached
@ good compromise between book-
store and drugstore, a welcome
change from the mess that last
year characterized its operation,
At that time the store offered
everyone nothing. Now it offers
everyone something, and there is
no reason to slight one group
in favor of another,

‘Dear Sara ASP’

To the Editor:
(Dear Sara Asp:)

As a basically Conservative
American student, I rarely find
necessity to ‘protest?’ (ugh) any
branch or function of our wonder-
ful nation and its people. I have
seen the deviations wrought by
certain small minority elements
over the past few years; the pro-
tests, bestialities and ingrati-
tudes of the few (mostly “big
city” sons of immigrants).

I am a tolerant man, however,
and realize the European and
African influences exerted on
them by their families and old-
country based organizations. I
know that as they grow acquaint-
ed with our great land they will
come to realize their mistakes
and will accept enthusiastically,
as do we all, the fine way of life
that is America.

However, I finally feel forced
to speak out, now, againstagrave
sedition which has quietly appear-
ed to infect this campus far be-
yond the undercurrent of
ignorance of whichI have written.

Your paper ever since! arrived
at this campus, has certainly re-
flected the fine patriotic, Ameri-
can attitudes expressed by the
S.U.N.Y.A, student body. But
suddenly, over the past few
issues I have detected certain un-
savory, un-American influences
creeping into its pages.

Take, as the main example
so far, your twopage ‘‘Communi«
cations’? column of Oct. 12, 1967.
(*«Communications’?? Funny how
similar that word is in appear-
ance to another term that be-
gins: ‘Communi . . .’? Coinci-
dence? Really? Some Coins
cidence!)

Just looking at the first three
“articles” we find: ‘‘inter-
national pacifism’, ‘the right of
sabotage,’ ‘disruption of the

Pentagon,’ and ‘limitations of the
freedom of speech for Johnson,
McNamara and others.’

Now really, I know that a little
liberalism is inescapable even in
a nation as great as America,
but this is excessive to the point
of insanity. Nuts like these three
writers are a danger to the well
being of us all.

Here are people who refuse

o even write under their own
names; the obvious pseudonyms
all three employ show their true
yellow Commie mettle. (They
must be pseudonyms. I know of
the people right on campus with
identical names and I am certain
that they are not ranting radical
persons at all. They should all
get together and sue.

To shower such ridiculous
abuse on the head of such a fine
one-hundred per cent American
as Michael J. Rose is to defeat
completely any even half legiti-
mate sentiments that such
radicals might hold.

The first writer feared that
our hard earned Freedom of
Speech was endangered by the
lunatic fringe. I cannot help but
agree with him. (I am, as they
say, a tolerant man). It is Com-
mies like this that strain our
great Democracy towhere we can
only say ‘Oh Lord forgive them
for what they do, for they are
like unto children,” and hope that
some day the fine spirit that is
America shall come to warm
even their cold eastern hearts.

Clean up your paper before
it is to late. Drive the nuts from
your gates. The

Wonderful
Able and
Sincere
People of this great
land must be served.

Profiles in the Performing Arts

by John Webb

Films

by Dave Bordwell

Peter Glenville’s “‘TheComed-
jans” (Delaware Theatre) and
Joshua Logan’s ‘Camelot’? (Mad-
ison Theatre) have so many simi-
lar faults and exemplify so much
commonly rotten in cinema to-
day, that lumping them togeth-
er in the same review isasmuch
a matter of analysis as conven-
ience — killing two turkeys with
‘one stone.

Both films are stagy, over-
long, filmically static, heavy-
handed in treatment, and unbear-
ably talky. Both display dialogue
that would make a sophomore
‘weep; two samples out of many:
“Comedians?” ‘My dear, my
darling, don’t torture yourself!”
and “Camelot: ‘Better to be
rubbed clean than rubbed out.’?
Such deathless dialogues are nev-
er integrated with the settings,
but no matter, since the settings

yare treated so perfunctorily any-
how. And neither film really fits
the wide screen or attempts to
use color creatively.

Stylistically both films share
that common fault of contempo-
rary cinema: excrutiating over-
use of the extreme facial close-
up. Now such a close-up is like
a fortissimo in orchestral writ-
ing — you use it sparingly, sav-
ing it for the moment when it
will be most powerful emotional-
ly and esthetically. Though
*‘Comedians” is replete withthis
flaw, “Camelot” is the worse
offender because with almost
every song-sequence shot in those
extreme close-ups, Logan has
permitted his actors to indulge
in the most histrionic of expres-
sions and gestures. He does not
know that the camera demands
its own, quieter style of acting,
completely different from that of
the stage; acting exaggerated in
the theatrical mode looks ludi-
crous when splashed across an
enormous cinema screen. For-
tissimo for three hours is ex-
hausting and, ultimately, boring.

So far I have saidnothing about
the stories (sic) of these films.
“Comedians”? is adapted by Gra-
ham Greene from his novel, and
oddly, his cinema writing is as
prosaic as his prose writing is
cinematic.

The film, as politically agnos-
tic as Greene’s “Quiet Ameri-
can,” places in Duvalier’s Haiti
an exceedingly uninteresting
bunch of people wallowing around
in the stifling political heat, sup-
posedly revealing Haiti as hell
and their souls as empty, but
really revealing that: a) Liz Tay-
lor is twice as ridiculous as
usual in a thick and inconsis-
tent German accent; b) Peter
Ustinov seems uncomfortable
when all he has to do is look
intellectual and tap the side of
his nose with his finger; and
c) Alec Guinness is getting bet-
ter and better at playing Alex
Guinness.

Burton wears his usual haggard
belligerence and muddles through
his part. It may be niggling to ob-
ject to the implausibility of a
couple of lunatic American tour-
ists when none of the characters
possesses the solidity of card-
board. The plot finally starts
to move in the last half-hour,
when the film seems to end three
distinct times. Glenville’s direc»
tion is hackneyed throughout, with
the exception of a shot of a toad
by a corpse which is momentar-
ily arresting.

“Camelot” is painfully whim-
sical, self-consciously pretty,
and rigidly stagebound. Itposses«
ses one of the most tedious ex-
positions on film, a meaningless
prelude to a flashback which does
not even have the courage of its
own banality, since it includes
many events the narrator could
have no knowledge of.

Every snatch of song or dia-
logue comes Special Delivery,
always in closeup. Moreover,
Joshua Logan simply cannot con-
trol a film: the jousting tour-
nament is a paralyzing bore, the
costumes look like costumes, all
but two shots aren’t evenpicture-
postcard good, the songs are
clumsily dubbed, and the
matched-action cuts — the most
elementary piece of technique
a director learns — invariably
don’t match.

‘Vanessa Redgrave (Guenevere)
looks vapidly pretty, and so does

(Continued on Pg. 14)

It was with considerable apprehension that I
took my seat at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in
New York for ‘‘How Now, Dow Jones!’? My sus-
picious nature was aroused because the last
play that I saw at this theater was the horrible
*Skyscraper,’? and to add to. this was the fact
that no big-name leads were listed on the bill.
‘The only really familiar names were George
Abbott, Oliver Smith, and Philip J, Lang, and
these were only in the technical realm. Never-
theless, I took a deep breath, and the rather bor-
ing but percussive overture brought the cur-
tain up.

Broadway has had a terrible time getting musi-
cals off the ground this season. This is due, I
believe, to the rather harsh critic’s reviews
(Henry, Sweet Henry’? has suffered unduly),
and because the music theater is caught in a
vacuum. People are getting weary of burlesque-
type shows, even if they are the only big hits,
and they are searching for something besides
the bombastic ‘‘Mame’s’? and “Dolly’s,”” yet they
are hoping for something original, new, and en-
tertaining. So far nothing too original has shown
up except for Dow Jones which probably fits the
bill of originality the best of anything so far this
season or last!

Curtain Rises

As the curtain rises, we find Cynthia, a guide
played by Brenda Vaccaro, leading a typical group
of sightseers (the audience) on an untypical tour
of the ‘‘heartbeat” of our mighty nation, the stock
market on Wall Street. These tourists, however,
are about to see a little more than is customary.
Cynthia has a mad crush on the head of the New
York Stock Exchange, Mr. Wingate, while her friend
Kate (Marlyn Mason), the voice of Dow Jones who
announces the trend of the stock market hourly,
thinks she is-in love with a clerk who will not
marry her until the stock market hits 1,000.
Kate meets another guy named Charley (Anthony
Roberts) at a nearby Child’s Restaurant.

Charley has been a failure in life, and is pres-
ently getting drunk so he can go out and commit
suicide. Kate joins him, but they suddenly find
themselves really enjoying each other’s company
—‘‘Live a Little,’ and ‘*The Pleasure’s about to
be Mine.? The romantic escapade ends up in bed,
but the following morning Kate decides that she
must leave Charley for good because she has to
preserve her reputable stature, and because Char-
ley is really a failure. She sings ‘‘Walk Away,’
an almost good song!

In the meantime, Mr. Wingate and the tycoons
are trying to find someone who will be able to sell
stock to those wealthy widows and orphans. They
need a guy who is shy and easily mothered to at-
tract these women whose only interest in stocks
is whether or not the President of the company is
handsome and wears glasses — a terribly true
comment on an actual state of affairs. Charley is
hired and becomes an amazing success because
of his popularity with the women. They celebrate
his popularity in the show stopper, ‘Step to the
Rear.”

Kate Pregnant

Kate has gotten pregnant from her little es-
capade, and realizes that she really loves Char-
ley. Cynthia and her doctor tell her that she’ll
get over it in ‘Shakespeare Lied,” but in an at-
tempt to resolve her troubles she decides to mar-

ry the clerk by making the announcement that
Dow Jones has hit 1000. Then she realizes her
mistake not only because she loves Charley, but
because she has endangered the stability of the
market. Her song about her ‘Big Trouble’? ends
the first act.

The second act opens in the Ascot tradition
of “My Fair Lady’? — “Credo” — a rather se-
date chorus number. Everyone starts buying stock
madly, and it is obvious that the stock market
is headed for “Big Trouble.’”? Charley has to in-
form his widows that they are about to be ruined,
and everybody rushes out in search of Kate who
has disappeared — ‘Panic’, a big dance-chase
number staged very cleverly.

Charley and Kate solve the problem for every-
one, including Cynthia who has become the unused
mistress of Mr. Wingate, by bringing in A.K.,
the world’s richest man who is persuaded to buy
some of every kind of stock to save the market.
Everyone ends up happy — ‘That’s Good Enough
for Me.”

For a while I was really worried because the
show was very slow getting started — even the
actors and chorus had no life. All of a sudden,
Charley and the widows bring the house down with
their song “Step to the Rear,’? and the show
moves along at a rather brisk pace right to the
end. The score, created by Elmer Bernstein
and Carolyn Leigh, is really not memorable, but
the songs are enjoyable. Bernstein has been the
composer for ‘Hawaii’? and “Thoroughly Modern
Millie,” while Carolyn Leigh has done the lyrics
for ‘Wild Cat” and ‘Little Me.’? Max Shulman,
the librettist, has created a script which is full
of cute laughs and commentary on the times. The
problem is that it is so dated that no one will
laugh in a couple of years.

Cast Delighted

The cast, although not made up of big name
stars, is truly a delight. Brenda Vaccaro, play-
ing Cynthia, is really the tops. Her personality
and husky singing voice both radiate in every
way except distinct audibility. Kate, portrayed
by Marlyn Mason, is enjoyable, and Anthony
Powers, as Charley, is truly delightful. Hiram
Sherman, as Wingate, plays his role beautifully
and in good comic style, and all of the widows
are really quite hysterical, particularly Charlotte
Jones whom many will remember for her recent
role as Mother Burnside in ‘Mama’?

Oliver Smith, the famed scenic designer, has
designed what I think is probably his worst set.
It is a bore of scanty drops, and unreal flats
and moveable platforms. The platforms which
may be moved about on the stage are stored be-
hind two ugly flats which are lowered to con-
ceal the tables etc., on the platforms, really
creating a lousy looking stage. The only clever
and good feature is the scrim of New York’s
skyline on which all of the buildings look like
ticker tape. The choreography leaves a great
deal to be desired — there’s nothing new or
clever to be seen here, and the lighting by Mar-
tin Aronstein is adequate.

How long Dow Jones will last is anybody’s
guess, but I fear that it will not be for very
long. Nevertheless, if you are looking for some
rather good entertainment and a few laughs,
make this show a part of your theatrical itiner-
ary. Tickets are readily available.

Music Department
Sponsor Tape
Concert In Gallery

The music department, State
University of New York at Albany,
presented “Electronic Pers-
pectives I,” a concert of tape
music, Wednesday evening, Jan-
uary 10, at 8:30 in the gallery
of the fine arts building on
campus.

Two exhibitions of con-
temporary art were on display in
the gallery and the electronic
music program was such that
people either listened while they
walked around and viewed theart
works, or sat still during the
concert.

The informality of the show
allowed conversations between
selections and after the concert,
The art exhibitions, both of which
will be on view January 8-25,
are ‘The Responsive Eye:
Prints,” a display of 42 works
exploring perceptual phenomena,
and ‘University Collects,’’ a se-
lection from the New York Uni-
versity Art Collection. x

Joel A. Chadabe, assistant pro-
fessor of music and director of
the electronic music studio at
the University, coordinated the
electronic concert and had one
of his compositions, ‘alb-
anymusic3”’ on the program. Mr,
Chadabe is a graduate of the
University of North Carolina and
received his master’s degree in
music from Yale University.

‘Hamlet’ Auditions
Early In Feb.

The First Quarto version of
“Hamlet,” the final production
of the 1967-68 season by the
State University Theatre, will
have its auditions Monday, Tues-
day, and Wednesday, February
5, 6, and 7, 1968 at 7:30 pm.
in Page Hall.

This rarely staged edition of
the Shakespeare classic will be
directed by Dr. Jarka M. Burian
of the Department of Speech and
Dramatic Art of the University.
Burian stressed the fact that
the auditions are open to all
students at the University: the
play has openings for more than
twenty male roles and two major
female parts,

“Hamlet? is the first Shake-
spearean play to be presented by
the State University Theatre
since the 1961 staging of
“Othello.” This latest Elizabe-
than tragedy is scheduled for per-
formance Wednesday through
Saturday, May &11, 1968,

The First Quarto version of
“Hamlet” is approximately half
the length of the standard modern
editions of the play, as well as
being somewhat different inform.
However, the editor of this us-
ually criticized edition feels that
the First Quarto version is thea-
grically superior to the more.
familiar edition.

Exactly how the First Quarto
version originated still poses a
problem for Shakespearean scho-
lars. Some critics have suggested
that it was a first draft of the
present version, Other critics
have theorized that this edition
is a “pirate script,’? which would
account for its differences from
the standard version,

Reverie

by Walt Doherty

Now showing at the Campus
Center Gallery (that’s the balcony
around the entrance hall) is Mrs.
Lois Gregg’s exhibit of fabric
designs. Mrs. Gregg is an As-
sociate Dean of Students. here
at the University, and this is
her first showing in New York
since she has come here.

The works are mostly fabric
collage which means, basically,
that cut-up pieces of cloth have
been placed on top of each other,
This may sound simple, but it’s
difficult to make one and have
it come out looking like some-
thing you’d want hanging in your
living room; fortunately Mrs,
Gregg can do this.

One problem a person might
overlook in making one of these
mantages is the texture of the
cloth (or fabric or paper). In a
mantage of predominately one
color, the texture can play an
important influence. In the one
called ‘‘Night Shadows”, texture
as well as color figures im-
portantly.

Also in the show are some
paintings done with acrylic paints
which are much like oil paints
except that they are water-based
rather than oil-based. There are
also three works done with broken

off about the best, but no thanks
to the script.

He is King Arthur, a quasi-
intellectual whom Merlin sup-
posedly taught to think (We know
Arthur thinks because every now

brow furrowed, and comes up
with pearls like “Might doesn’t

There is a performance of
mannered villainy by DavidHem-

taches looks like the Jack of

tears frequently, and once or
twice you can actually see — I
am not making this up — muc-
ous glistening in Miss Redgrave’s
elegant nose. Ah, realism.

I am not an admirer of the
play, but I doubt that is ad-
mirers will be satisfied with the
film; some of the best songs
and lines have been cut. Inshort,
the whole production is a thor-
oughly tiresome and slobbering-
ly maudlin insult to one’s sensi-
bilities, which finally pairs it
with ‘*TheComedians” andcount-
less other films pre-packaged

audience: their falsity to both
art and life.

been attached to a mirror,

These are very colorful; one
called ‘‘Bright Sea” seems to be
a three-d mound that flatens it-
self out as you approach it and
then reforms itself after you’ve
passed. Unfortunately the gallery
presents some problems in rela-
tion to another of the glass-and-
mirror works; ‘‘Cathedral’”’ was
designed to be hung at a height
above a persons head, but here
it’s at eye-level,

The most interesting of the
works are the fabric collage.
There are several which show
scenes, one of a small Mexican
fishing village, one of an Arabic
town, and a Mid-Western horizon,
Each of these has it own special
problem either in color, or tex-
ture, or arrangement all of which
Mrs. Gregg solves well. In the
Mid-Western landscape _ the
mountains in the background are
done with perfectly flat cloth;
however, by the way the cloth is
cut and the way contrasting colors
are arranged around the moun-
tains, the picture takes on a
three-d, or at least a more real,
aspect.

One piece in particular which
I like is ‘Shocking Pink,’’ Mrs.
Gregg’s use of red is some-
thing alive.

It’s a good show. The only
criticism that I have is why did
we have to wait so long to get
it here.

Bergman Brings

Life To ‘Mansions’

by Jane Richlin

«More Stately Mansions,” now
playing at the Broadhurst Theatre
with Ingrid Bergman, Arthur Hill
and Coleen Dewhurst, brings Eu-
gene O’Neill’s tragedy to the
American stage for the first
time.

Ingrid Bergman’s appearance
as the mother in a thwarted tri-
angle introduces her, after 25
years away from Broadway, toa
new theatre-going generation, It
is a fine opportunity to see areal
acting pro at work. Not a role to
particularly display her ver-
satility, the part is, rather, an
easy one for Miss Bergman to
play.

The crux of the story is the
warped triangle of a mother, her
son, and the son’s wife. Theweak
son (Arthur Hill as Simon) is
made to choose between a strong-
willed mother and an equally
strong-willed wife (Coleen Dew-
hurst as Sara). Torn between
these two willful females, Simon
finally eases out of the tangle, to
let the two women battle it out.
Swaying from doting affection to
raging hate for each other, the
wife and mother almost destroy
each other to win out in Simon’s
affection.

Miss Bergman intermittently
flubs her lines and seems, some-
how, quite unconcerned as to
where her son’s loyalty does lie.
But she pulls through toa strong,
credible finish by the third act,
arriving at an overall satisfying
performance. She is, without a
doubt, the play’s real star.

Arthur Hill as the son Simon
brings a peculiar flaw to his
portrayal. He comes through as
too strong a person for such a
weak role. Had he soft-pedaled
his strength, he might be more
convincing. But he didn’t, so his
performance lacks believability.

Coleen Dewhurst as the wife,
Sara, seems to think that if you
can Scream and bellow your lines,
at intervals, you can act well.

Not quite. Her Irish accent is
remarkably unpredictable. Thick
at the beginning, it wafts off to
almost nothing by the play’s end,

Campus In‘Time’

This week’s ‘Time Magazine’?
is carrying an article on the
State University featuring Chan-
cellor Samuel B, Gould and his
clusters of universities and col-
leges.

“Time” classed this Campus
as ‘Miami Beach North’? and
carried a picture, taken during
the summer, of the campus. The
magazine pictured the University
as ‘striving for problem-solv-
ing competence in the social

sciences.’”

According to the weekly Gould
feels that most of the university
is “still more concerned about
whether a student has the right
number of courses for a degree
than whether he has really learn-
ed anything or not,’*

Some critics have said that Miss
Dewhurst ‘steals the show” from
Miss Bergman, This is not at all
the case. Even now, Ingrid Berg-
man holds much of the same
mystery and grace that endeared
her to the public in such films
as “Gaslight” and ‘ Anastasia.”

Directed by Jose Quintero,
several notable supporting roles
add to the enjoyment of this play.
Of special note is Richard Bowler
as Benjamin Tenard, who gives a
polished, fine performance.

Whether you are a frequent
theatre-goer or if you only get
to a few plays a year keep in
mind ‘More Stately Mansions’®
when you're deciding on the next
play to see,

Eye To Present
Readings Soon

The Golden Eye, continuing in
the tradition established by Alex
Krakower’s recent, successful
dramatic-reading production of
“Maebird,” will present two one-
act plays as dramatic readings,
the night of Friday, February 23,

The two plays, Edward Albee’s
“The American Dream” and
Archibald MacLeish’s “The Fall
of the City,’ will be directed by
Robert B, Cutty.

Cutty stated that auditions for
the plays will be held Wednesday
and Thursday nights, Jan, 1 and
Feb. 31. Cutty added the Albee
comedy has five roles to be filled,
two male and three female.

MacLeish’s verse drama util-
izes the talents of six actors,
eight male and one female, and
a chorus, whose number and
gender is flexible. Cutty noted
that there may be a need to
double-cast the plays, because of
the chorus in the second play.

State Quadrangle

Presents Movies

The State Quad Program Coun-
cil is sponsoring a showing of
“The Unsinkable Molly Brown’?
tonight at 8:30 p,m, in the State
Quad Dining Room. Tomorrow
Evening the Council will show
“The Cardinal.’?

Franklin Levy, Stephen Bookin,
Laurence Pearson, and David
Ridge are in charge of the com-
mittee, State Quad Productions,
which rents the films for pre-
sentation on the weekends.

The committee has tentatively
scheduled ‘*Love With the Pro-
per Stranger” and ‘The Um-
brellas of Cherbough” for show-
ings after intersession.

The Production Board is hop-
ing for a sizeable turnout this
weekend despite the fact that

Next semester, hopefully, Albany will take another
big step up in its sports program, with the opening
of the new gym. Finally all sports will be centered
in one place. There will be no more bus trips to
Hudson Valley or Cardinal McCloskey, basketball
games will be right on campus at last. Wrestling
matches will also be on the New Campus for the
first time, and thus they too should get improved
attendence.

The opening of the new gym means that all
sports will now be played on the New Campus.
Soccer and cross-country moved to the New Campus
in 1966, and basketball track and tennis will all
be “‘out here’’ this spring.

If having all sports located on campus seems
advantageous to the spectator, it seems doubly
so to the varsity athletes, who for the past few
years have endured considerable inconvenience,
just to get needed practice. The basketball team
has traveled far and wide the last two years,
practicing all over the Capital District, while
the varsity grapplers have had to suffer in the
stuffy confines of the Page wrestling room.

It is hard to say what effect these conditions
have had on the teams. It would seem that those
who stuck it out may very well have been better
off for the effort, for adversity seems to breed
solidarity, and last year’s basketball and wrest-
ling squads were quite solid. However, there is
no telling how many freshmen prospects were quick-
ly. discouraged by the conditions they found con-
fronting them. Surely there were some.

To say that the acquisition of new and better
facilities will result in better teams may not seem
logical, but if a freshman prospect finds that he
is getting regular practice in a spacious gym, or
an airy well lighted wrestling room, he is far more.
likely to stay interested. However, the biggest
advantage probably lies in recruiting. If the coach
has to tell a prospective student, who is trying
to decide between Albany and some other school,
that our basketball games are played in a Catholic
high school on the other side of town, or if he has
to show the prospect the Page wrestling room his
chances of getting that student are likely to drop.

Thus the new gym will make it easier on all
concerned. The spectators will finally be treated
to winter sports on campus, the varsity athletes
will have regular and adequate facilities available,
not only during their season, but all year round,
and the coaches will finally be able to recruit
from excellent facilities without having to worry
about where the next practice will be held.

Christmas holidays.

Frosh Hoopsters Fall

Grapplers

Looking at the frosh hoopsters’
achievements over the week, one
might say they didn’t do much,
This would certainly be true
concerning the RPI game, in
which the frosh suffered their
worst drubbing of the season,
losing 107-70.

However, after an important
lecture by Coach Mike O’Brien,
the frosh went out to face the
Alumni, and they played their
most hustling and alert game of
the year. Although they lost, the
game went down to the final
minute against a team which the
Freshmen usually lose to an
nually by over twenty points.
The final score was a very re-
spectable 85-79,

John Jordan led the way for
the frosh as he hit fifteen shots
from the field and added four
free throws. Les Newmark and
Dave Grilli also chipped in 15
and 10 respectively. The Alumni
were led by former small col-
lege All-American Dick Crossett
who tallied 23,

The freshmen’s record is now
1-7 which is disappointing but
not discouraging, All but one of
their losses have been by no

Win 27-14

Pete Ranalli started the frosh
off right as he registered a pin
at 5:58 in the 123 pound class,
At 180 Kev Sheehan lost by a
fall, but Dave Jones put the Baby
Great Danes in front to stay as
he registered an easy 7-1 de-
cision in his 137 pound match,

Roger Jones followed Dave and
he upped the count to 13-5 by pin-
ning his man in 3:29. Ted Long
then won by forfeit at 152, and
Fairleigh won 160 by forfeit,
167 and 177 were both double
forfeits, while Kris Jackstadt
captured the heavyweight class
by forfeit, for the final result
of 27-14, The frosh grapplers
are now 1-2, and will be in ac-
tion again Wednesday, February
10 when they will travel to Rock-
land Communit College,

This week AMIA Leagues I &
II swung back into action after
the Christmas vacation layoff.

In League IB the Raks rolled
over Alpha Lamda Chi 76 to 53,
while Alpha Pi Alpha and the
Barons ran their records to 3-0,
tleing for first place. APA de-
feated the Grads 79-39 and the
Barons snuck by Sigma Tau Beta
55-46,

While in the other division,
IA, the men of Edward Eldred
Potter Club also ran their re-
cord to 3-0, by beating the Bruins
in a nip and tuck battle, 50-
46, Elsewhere the Nads slipped
by the Water Buffalos 37-34, and
Kappa Beta beat Upsilon Phi Sig-
ma 65-37.

In their game the Raks were
once again paced by their high
scorer John Gallagher who col-
lected 21 points, with support
from Ron Rice and Ed Sturgus
who had 17 and 16 points re-
spectively. High for ALC was
Dale Smith who collected 20
points, aided by Wayne Fetter
with 18 points.

Alpha Pi Alpha’s well balanced
team was led by Denny Elkins who
hit for 29 points in their romp
over the Grads, who were once
again paced by Gary La Fona-
tain, Here he collected 19 points,
while his teammate Bill Nenn-
stiel got 13,

The Barons after being down
at the half came back to win under
the leadership of Dick Adams
and Jim Doyle who netted 30
points together. STB who led
most of the way, but seemed
to run out of gas late in the
game were paced by Jerry Sar
Perstone with 12 points and Don
Beavers with 10,

Potter Club, which seemed like
a one man team early in the
year has settled down and cur-
rently leads its’ division. Their
high men for this game were
Ray McCloat who netted 14 points
and George Webb who netted 9,
While the Bruins pacer was Mike
Cole who hit for 16 points.

KB meanwhile spread the scor-
ing out in their game as they
were led by Dave Goldstein with
20, while Bob Rifenback and Steve
Flood got 14 apiece.

In League II, meanwhile, ac-
tion was hot and heavy, with the
real shocker being Potter’s win
over SLS 103-32, placing five men
in double figures,

Chore To Stop Robinson

by Don Oppedisano

Rochester Insitute of Technology, led by the nation’s fifth-leading small college scorer
in Jim Robinson, will be in town tonight to face the powerful and exciting Albany State
Great Danes, winners of the 1967 Capital City Basketball Tournament and four straight
at the time of this writing. The locals, supporting a 7-3 record, met Southern Connecticut

State at New Haven in their most recent outing on Tuesday.

Robinson, Division III ECAC Sophomore of the Year two seasons ago and an all ECAC

choice last year, is

currently averaging 32 points a contest. The 6’2’’ senior

from Dunellen, N.J. possesses a deadly outside shot from anywhere on the court and
will present a serious problem to the Dick Sauers’ coached quintet. Six other Tiger
lettermen return, among whom is Rick Cetnar of Amsterdam. The contest is slated
for 8:30 p.m. at the Cardinal McCloskey gymnasium with free bus service leaving at

8:00.

Leading the Purple and Gold, who swept through Hamilton, RPI, Siena, and Brooklyn .
College in their four game win skein, will be junior stalwarts Rich Margison and Scott
Price, who were named co-MVP’s of the Capital City classic.

The Albany State wrestling
team lost its third straight match
on Saturday, Janurary 6th, as
they were outscored by Fairleigh

registering their third defeat, the
grapplers gained three victories
and one draw in nine matches.

wrestling in his last match for
Albany, however, as he is gradu-
ating this semester.

In the 130-pound division, Gary
Smagalski suffered-a pin at the
hands of Dusualdo and Fairleigh
thus gained a lead which they
never relinquished,

Clark Registers Win

Bill Clark, competing in the
137-pound division, registeredhis
second win of the year as he
decisioned Sam Gambino by a 6-4
score, Frank Weal, however, who
filled the 145-pound spot for Al-
bany was pinned in 4:59 by Bob
Locks.

Craig Springer, one of the
team’s co-captains, tallied three
points for the Great Danes as he
posted a 6-2 decision over Barry
Verga.

The next two weight classes
were won by Fairleigh as Bob

Wood, caged 17 against
Hamilton and is currently
averaging 10.7 ppg in addition to
being the team’s third leading
rebounder behind Price and
Margison. However, at the
present time, he is recovering
from penmounia and will be un-
able to play against RIT, His
place will be taken by Tom Doody,
who hit for a personal high of
14 against RPI.

Sauers has also been pleased
with the play of Jim Caverly, a
junior transfer from Broome
Tech. Jim hit the nets for 12
in the second half to insure the
win against Siena besides pulling
down some clutch rebounds.

Working as a Team

Commenting on the team’s
play, Sauers stated that “We
are playing together more each
game, looking for the open man
and working better as a team,
Adams and, Wood are taking some
pressure off Price and Margison
with their double-figure scoring,
giving us a well-balanced attack,
which means the defense can’t
concentrate on one or two men
and stop our offense.””

But when it comes right dow.
to it, it is Margison and Price
who must perform well if the
Dane offense is going to click,
In the first game of the Tourney
against Hamilton, which* the
locals won, 105-87, Margison
tallied 25. In the 86-69 victory
over RPI on the second night,
Price netted 24. In the finale
aginst Siena, which the Sauers-
men came out on top, 69-63,
both tallied 17. Price, whoseems
to “explode” into the air, set a
tournament record of 57 points,
while Margison’s. 56 also beat
the old mark. Rich led all Albany
rebounders with 39, while Scott
was right behind with 37,
