FSA Is Still
In The Black
by Stephen Dzinanks
‘Turning away from prior periods
of financial insecurity, SUNYA's
Faculty-Student Association (FSA)
is in the black for the second straight
year, according to FSA General
Manager E, Norbert Zahm.
Zahm’s annual report to the
membership, which will be di
tributed to the FSA Board of Direc-
tors at their meeting today, states
that FSA's net income from
operations for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1975 was $230,318,
“I's tight,” said Zahm, “but it’s
reasonable.” He ind.cated that the
matter “subject to opinion”
depending on your definition of a
non-profit organization,
The report makes note of the fact
that “the years 1972 and 1973
produced a total net loss of $542,020
while the years 1974 and 1975 show-
ed a $575,417 net income.”
‘We're getting adjusted,” remark-
hm, “we're not going broke.”
Fewer Expenses
Zahm explained that the $230,318
figure reflects the deduction of cor-
porateand program expenses. These
expenses include programs such as
the Glen House, Mohawk Campus,
and the Student Loan Fund. ‘The ac-
tual overall net operating income for
the year was $305,268
Zahm attributed the corporation's
recent success mostly to cutbacks on
expenses. “We became extremely
cost conscious,” said Zahm. “We've
let a lot of people go.” Zahm added
that there was “not that much new
business,” but that there had been
some “moderate price increuscs.”
Last February FSA Board of
Directors voted an cight percent
board hike which they felt was need-
ed to keep them financially above
water. Subsequently, Central Coun-
cil withdrew a foan from FSA of
about $180,000 in protest of the
board hike. At that time Zahm wat
not sure that FSA could endure
without eventually going “back to
the bank to borrow some of that
$180,000 again.” Zahm stated that as
it turned out, he never had to. FSA
was able to pay off the loan without
financial assistance.
Inthe report the General Manager
outlined the goal of FSA “to have
major functions support themselves
and not have any one support to an
extraordinary degree any other.

Zahm said that in previous ye
food service (parti
tracts) supplied the income
necessary to cover lossex in other
FSA operations.
The overall net operating income,
according to Zahm’s report, “was
composed of 43.7% funds from food
; from investment and
other [income from the sale of
property and interest on in-
vestments}, and 20.1% from aux-
iliary services [includes the
bookstore and vending (less soda)”
“We really don't have a losing
unit,” commented Zahm,
Meal Money
The report shows that FSA netted
atotal of $185,026 income from meal
contracts, the downtown Husted
cash cafeteria, the added Indian
Quad cash cafeteria and the soda
vending business (operated by food
service),
Zahm was especially pleased with
the success of the soda vending
business. “I don't know what you
kids are doing with all that soda,” he
remarked. “They [students] must be
washing their cars with it” or
something.”
Zahm stressed that the $185,026
invome is not such a big chunk of a
four million dotlar operation. “It's
hard to convince students that $180,-
000 is not alot of money," he added.

Administration Reacts To
State Department’s Audit
by Stephen Dormer
Calling the criticisms made in a
recently released State Department
audit of SUNYA “helpful,” John
Hartley, Vice President of Manage-
ment and Planning, and Philip
Sirotkin, Vice President of
Academic Affairs, said that the Un-
iversity will try to utilize several of
the report's recommendations.
However, both administrators
feel that the report’s criticism is not
an indication that SUNYA has been
grossly mismanaged.
* ‘Standards Needed
One of the issues dealt with in the
audit report was the University’s
lack of formal faculty workload
standards and the faculty's weekly
‘ontact," or classroom hour
average of 11.65, lowest of the four
university centers. Sirotkin
thinks this problem has been over-
simplified. The “contact hours” are
only one part of a teacher's
workload, but it is the part that
sometimes is over-emphasized, For
example, a 1973 study of the Biology
and Sociology departments here in-
dicated an average of $5 hours per
week spend by the faculty in ac
tivities related 10, but outside of, the
SUNYA Police Increase Ticketing
by David Winzelberg
The University Police, working
‘overtime, served 689 parking tickets
‘on September 22. The ticketing blitz,
ording to Assistant Director of
urity John Henighan, is part of a
crackdown on the many vehicle
violators on campus.
Henighan said that usually two of-
ficers are assigned to give out tickets
which amount to about 250 daily.
However in the one 24 hour period,
four additional officers worked an
extra four hours each in order to
reach the unusually large number of
windshields.
mn reported that the over-
time pay for the period amounted to
approximately $150, He pointed out
that “if you look at it economically"
the extra pay was a “good invest-
ment,”
Henighan stated that a large part
of the problem is the number of
vehicles that remain unregistered
with the University Poli
timated that “40% of the cars aren't
registered.” Henighan explained
that frequent violators can get towed

the Educational Policies Council of
the University Senate in 1972,
The audit report discovered that
in the 1973 Fall semester, classrooms
sand lecture halls were only used two-
thirds and laboratories two-fifths of
the available hours, Sirotkin
suggested that these statistics might
be due to the fact that the hours
between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. ure the
most popular class hours, Many
departments therefore try to
schedule as few classes as possible
outside of those hours, knowingthat
nuany students shy away from early
and/or evening classes.
The audit reported that the Un-
iversity was plagued by a huge
backlog of uncollected student bills.
Hartley revealed that the school
has made substantial progress. in
diminishing that backlog. As ol
une, 1974, students owed the sch |
over two million dollars, and 1.
mullion of that was over one semester
old. Presently, only $939,000 of that
two million is uncollected, and
$710,000 of that has already been
forwarded to the attorney general
for collection, As of June, 1975,$1.3
million was owed by students,
sharp $800,000 reduction from the
backlog of a year earlier.
According to Hartley, the
bucklog is deceptively large. Since a
student can defer part of his bill bas-
ed on student aid and loan
Programs, the University must
sometimes wait over a year to collect
from the state and federal agencies
which provide this aid,
Strict directives have been issued
to rectify several practices criticized
by the auditors, especially the split-
ordering, which was uncovered in 14
instances, according to Hartley.

could utilize (hese standards by re-
‘quiring “department chairpersons to
submit justification for faculty
assigned a workload of less than the
standard” for the department.
Through the Fall, 1973 semester,
the University used classrooms an
verage of 31.6 hoursa week, lecture
hally 318 hours a week, and
Jabs jories 19.7 hours a week, The
report compared these averages with
the 50 hours available each week
during the day for scheduling
classes, ‘The comparison revealed
‘that classrooms and lecture halls are
used only about two-thirds and
laboratories about two-fifths of the
available 50 hours,
Further

ture hall seats 16,1 hours a week. The
utilization standard for both
classrooms and lecture halls is 24
hoursa week, showing the classroom,
rate to be signigicantly below its
standard. In terms of student oc
cupaney, the report showed that
one-fourth of chissroom seats and
one-third of lecture hall seats
remained unoccuppied during class
periods in those rooms.
The report suggested that the Un-
versity try to schedulein classrooms

taught in lecture halls, It might then
be possible to shut down one or more

Law Violation
The audit revealed that the Un-
iversity hud violated state law by the
“split-ordering" of purchases in 14
instances between 1970 and 1974,
This is the practice of splitting one
purchase into several orders to cir-
comvent competitive bidding re-

legal action has been taken, but the
University has agreed to disdain

‘As of June 30, 1974, University
records showed that students owed
$2,118,343, all but $504,109 of which

policy of the State University’s Cen-
tral Council is that students must
resolve their accounts either by pay

report, “there should have been no

Stringent campaign spending
limits have curtailed the use of

For example, Rep. Morris K.

to a faster, more comfortable, 20-
seat turboprop when he uses
chartered flights. Secret Service
agents are expected to occupy up to
12 seats, meaning the government
would pay more than half the charter

Government advance work is an
even bigger boon to the candidate.

Thomas R. Lippert, 25, was to go
on trial in U.S. District Court here
on kidnapping charges Wednesday.
Instead he pleaded guilty totwocon-
spiracy charges.
Lippert was a professor at
Southwest State College in
farshall, Minn., when he kid-
rapped Susan Cochran, 20, Purdue

“The bottom is lined with 1,400 nail
heads wired to a fence charger like
farmers use on barbed wire fences.”
According to the original kidnap
indictment, Miss Cochran was fore-
ed to lay in the box wearing night
clothes und was subjected to elec-

Malcom Sherman is a math
Professor who believes: - students
should be denied representation on
the University Senate. He has much
to say on why he feels this should be
90.
Sherman thinks the Senate's stu-
dent membership prevents the facul-
ty representation from ha
meaningful say in Senate
Says Sherman, “The presence of
students inhibits the faculty from
speaking its own mind ... they're
(the profs) afraid of bad student
reaction
* ... The students in the Senate
are politicians who want to build a
record for their constituencies, so
that they can run for other offices.”
Thus, feels Sherman, students bring
up issues not really meant for Senate
consideration. He compared student
Senators seeking more school
holidays and an easing of honor re-

quirements to “union leaders trying
to get pay raises.” The sum effect of
these student efforts, feels Sherman,
is that the “faculty is prevented from
dealing with issues of academic con-
cern,”
Sherman says that, unlike student
Senate reps, who often congregate
together and make plans at SA and
Central Council, faculty members of
the Senite seldom see cach other
outside of their organization's
meetings. Claims Sherman, “They
don’t have the time to deal with the
nitty-gritty part of issues except
within the Senate itself . . if the
faculty are to have a sufficient role
(in University government), they
must work within a structured,
ongoing organization.”
Sherman is also upset that the
“faculty Senate members have little
influence on how votes turn out.”
Sherman says the administration
and student reps in the Senate are
organized well, and vote as.a bloc .
On the other hand, the faculty. is
often split over an issue, and this
division forfeits a good part of ite
voting punch
Also, Sherman dislikes the fact
that students help determine policy
(the Senate has little real power, but
n often follows its

‘As an answer to these problems,
Sherman wants the faculty, which he
said must each year approve the

still serve on Senate committees, ac-

NYPIRG Makes Plans for Future at Fall Conference

semester,
The colleges represented included
SUNYA, SUNY at Buffalo, SUNY
at Stony Brook, SUNY at Bingham-

College, Syracuse University, and
Colgate University
Topics discussed included the
ERA, Nuclear power, the banning of
non-returnable hotles, the
Educations Testing Service (ETS),
marijuana reform, campus voter
registration drives, utility rate
reform; and various consumer
protection issues,
Students and staff members of
NYPIRG began arriving late on Fri-
day, and were provided with lux-
urious accommodations on the floor
of the girls’ gym.
The conference was held in the
University's oldest building, where
everyone met at 8:30 on Saturday
morning for coffee and donuts.
Business began with a general
mecting where Donald Ross, a
former employee of Ralph Nader
and NYPIRG's faithful leader, dis-
cussed NYPIRG'S role as an ad-

The French violin wizard, Jean-Luc Ponty.
by Larry Schwartz
A % lull Campus Center ballroom crowd
herd Jean-Luc Ponty and the Heath Brothers
this past Monday night, he Heath Brothers,
modern jazz quartet, played # very enjoyable
warm up set mixing their talent as jazz
musicians with their own .rand of musical
humor. Percy Heath's “W .tergate Blues” was
‘1 good example. He pu'le J out his blonde cello
and began plucking i* ke a lead guitarist to
the old standard tw .ve bar blues.
The Heath Bro’ vers got the audience in a
good mood whi a can sometimes be hard for
warm up grov ys. They played most of their
‘own compositions which allowed each musi-
cian to display his own talents. They proved to
the jazz-rock crowd that modern jazz can be
alot of fun.
Jean-Luc Ponty, the violin wizard, and his
band followed the Heath Brothers, It was the
acoustics of the ballroom that put a damper on
Ponty’s otherwise excellent performance.
Ponty relies heavily on electronics employing
Jimmy Heath, werraing up the crowd.
NX
Sax & Strings Dazzle Fane
an echoplex and custom made. synthesizer,
‘Naturally he is loud and must play in a hall
that will absorb much of the sound.
‘The ballroom has a high reverberation time
which causes an echo that interferes with Pon-
ty's music, His first performance was extreme-
ly lacking because of this. But aftera long con-
ference between shows certain corrections
were made and his second performance was a
success.
The Wings of Music
Ponty's band consists of twenty-two year
old Daryl Steurmer on guitar, Tom Fowler on
buss, Norm Farrington on percussion and
Mike Wolff on keyboards. Steurmer is an ex-
cellent young guitarist who was discovered
playing in « local band in Milwaukee and re
commended to Ponty by George Duke. He
traded solos with Ponty much like the viol
wizard had done with John MeLaughlin when
he was with Mahavishnu, Steurmer's speed
dazzled the audienee.
Another crowd favorite was Tom Fowler on
bass, Ponty picked him up from Frank Zap-
pa's band,
Ponty’s performance consisted of all his
‘own compositions, most of them from his new
album, Upon The Wings Of Music. He
started the second show with the title cut from
that album, This song is typical of Ponty's
music. He'll start a composition with a centri
theme which is introduced asi sort of pretude.
Then he'll break off into a jam whereby solos
are handed out. Toend the song he'll devise an
ending usually encompassing the central
theme or some « variation.
The most exciting parts of his performan¢
are the solos. The sounds he produces from his
violin attached to a synthesizer is astounding
to your ears, He has acquired this technical
proficiency through fifteen years of classical
training and thirteen years of experimenting
with the electric violin,
Steurmer is also an ex soloist. Ponty
commented between shows that it’s
fascinating to sce Daryl grow, incorporating
new riffs all the time,
T talked with Ponty between shows and
found him to be a musician who is sincereand
dedicated to music, He listens to all types of
music for enjoyment. When on the road he
carries cassettes of Stravinsky, Chick Corea,
Flamenco music, Indian Music, Jimi Hendrix
and Stanley Clarke
For enjoyment
Ponty listens to
Stravinsky, Hendrix
and Stanley Clarke.
Both his parents were classical musicians
who began training him for the violin at age
five, At seventeen he graduated the Conger-
vatoire National Supericur de Musique de
Paris with the highest honors. After playing in
@ symphony orchestra for three years he split
to play jazz exclusively. He lost alot of friends,
he comments, but gained a lot of new ones too,
Ponty had difficulty in making the transi
tion from classical music, which is very struc-
tured and requires devote accuracy to each
note, 10 jazz and blues where he was to im-
provise and experience new rhythms.
He also had the problem of having his soft
violin heard over the loud drums, trumpets
and saxes of jazz, He had to put a mike on his
violin out of necessity,
He was displeased with amplified sound
because it carried with it the distortions in-
hefent in the amplifier. But he soon learned
through experimentation that this sound
could be further developed, So after thirteen
years which took him through the Monterray
and Berlin Jazz Festivals, and George Duke,
Frank Zappa, Elton John’ and) John
McLaughlin he has developed his own sound
and his own music,
‘And that's: what he played last Monday
night.

Leader of The Pack
by Keith Graham
Jn thepast year, electroni¢jazz has
risen considerably in popularity.
Despite critic's accusations that it'sa
sellout, more people are interested in
jazz than ever before. Herbie Han-
cock, Billy Cobham, Weather
Report, the Eleventh House, George
Duke, Alphonse Mouzon, and
Return to Forever, among others,
have done considerably well playing
this type of music. Suprisingly, none
of these fine musicians, in a group or
individually, has been acknowledged
as the leader of the movement
Electronic jazzman Stanley Clarke.

Despite being associated with
Return to Forever he is in the
background) and no album newly
released since last year, the
acknowledged leader is » Stanley
Clarke. His last effort was a good,
but not great seller, This year he
toured with Retum to Forever most
of the time, So why ishe the leader of
this musie
does it better than anyone elye
Stanley Clarke just happens to be
the world’s finest allaround
He is also an exectlent composer of
music, He combined these talents
with those of other good musicians
and came up with a great album,
Whar he does is ply the music
differently than anyone who has
done it before
Most electroni¢ jizz is usually
played in a funny way. Most sides
are done in no particularly sot
rythmical pattern, Sooner or later, a
performer will break from the
pattern the song has established as
its main one. In Clarke's music, there
isn't that tendency, The rhythmical
pattern is established at the begin
ning of the song, with few variations
ater on. He also uses his buss very
well in the lead. Most performers
have the keyboards ora guitar in the
lead. Interestingly enough, he puts
the keyboards in the background
(perhaps out of plying behind
Chick Corea), The result of allthis is
a new and different type of music,
‘A problem is that he won't Jeave
Return to Foreverand really get into
some creative music, Despite his age,
he has played with numerous great
jazz musicians, He has played all
types of jazz and says he was in-
fluenced by Coltrane, Dayis and
most of all by Hendrix, The ability ix

antiquity, is the most typical an
best preserved example ofa Roman
provincial town in the Near East, It
is located in a well-watered valley in
the Biblical land of Gilead. It fell
under Roman ruil in 63 B.C, when
Pompey incorporited the entire
Palestine-Syria area into the Roman,

Jerash flourished in the security of
the great Pax Romana, Building
projects of the first century A.D.
included the city walls, temples to
Zeus and Artemis, among others,
baths, theaters, and a splendid
forum; the latter isabsolutely unique
in architectural history by its
peculiar oval shape. In the second
century A.D. the temples to Zeus
and Artemis were torn down ant
rebuilt on a grander scale, the streets
were widened, a numphaeum was
added, and a triumphal arch was
erected to commemorate u visit by
the emperor Hadrian, Local stone
was supplemented by marble
imported from Asia Minor and by
granite imported form the Aswan
area of Egypt. Even in its ruinous
state Jerash suggests the level of
comfort once enjoyed by its
residents,

‘Anamateur film-maker based in Philadelphia makes
a horror film about corpses coming to life to eat the
living, Cost—about $15,000, Profit: well into six digits
Hollywood produces an offbeat little black comedy
about a necrophiliac adolescent and his ninety yeur old
girl friend, Distribution near zilch, but it plays for three
years straight in a Minneapolis theater.
Both of these films ("Night of the Living Dead” and
“Harold and Maude") and hundreds of others produces
in the last twenty years or so are found in the mixed bag
of cinematic mutations that fall under the general
heading, “cult films.” .
Attempting to define what a cult film is ean be as
difficult as producing one (film-makers would always
like to believe that their creation will be adored by
millions and not become the private property of a select
group of fanatics), But cult films do have a few
recognizable earmarks, The subject mutter is usually off
the beaten track, to say the least. “Pink Flamingos”, a
now-famous cult “classic” is John Water's “exercise in
poor taste” that coneemnsa war betwei
hundred pound transvestite, and Connie and Raymond
Marble, who run an adoption agency, which gets its
offspring as a result of the forced mating between the
butler and the female prisoners they keep locked tight in
the basement. Not exactly family fare
“Pink Flamingos" represents the kind of sick fringe
that cult audiences are often responsible for. What's the
attraction? “The perversity itself," says one film-goer,
“Weirdness for its own sike. It's 4 reaction (0 the
tupioca-flavored mush that is Hollywood's stock in
“ ness that seems to count here
Not all films that have attracted a cult following are
this sort of campy trash, Hardly. In fact, most are nicely
polished productions that for one reason of another
(poor distribution, legal hassles) just never made i
“Little Murders.” a vrotesquely comical film adapted
from Jules Feiffer's play is probably one of the best

“Zardoz” ranks with the post-2001 sciti films that

deserved following of cultists.

reason—it is something of a sequel to Lindsay

McDowall not only returns again in “O Lucky Man”
(which is said to be MeDowall's bivgraphy of sorts) but
in the last scene of the film actually walks into an
audition and is hired by Lindsay Anderson (playing
himself) to star in a film. This sequence is more or less
the way McDowall copped the role for “IM, claims
Anderson. Confusing? Maybe so, but if the cultists
thrive on anything it is cinematic allusion,
Some cult films are more a social event than good
film-making. “Harold and Maude." “Brewster
McCloud,” and “Night of the Living Dead,"are seen by
everybody when they hit the loca! “art” theater ~and for
no good reason. “King of Hearts,” for instance, is more
obvious than “heavy”, but it packs “em in every time on
the campuses. It's something that a small group of fans;
can call their very own.
The films of Stanley Kubrick present something of a
problem. His budget is virtually limithe... his
distribution widespread, his profits respectable and
nearly everyone has seen something of his. Yet Lam still
compelled to stick Kubrick in there with the rest of the
zoo-world of cult films,
Inside of the countless millions who know Kubrick is
that fanatical group whose relation to his films is more
than a casual acquaintance. These are peaple who saw
“2001: A Space Odyssey” fifteen times, These are the
people wh know every fine of dialogue from “Dr.

Floating around somewhere between the cheapo
trash and those Hollywood flops is the unique talent of
men like Robert Downey who have enough money to
pull off a slick production and the foresight to aim at the
kind of young audiences that films like “Little Murders”
end up with anyway
Downey started out in the early sixties as a
pornographer and then went “legit” to make “Chafed|

Lampoon Show
Bombs Out
by C.S, Santino
“The National Lampoon Show”
opens with the six cast members
(four males and two females) doing
‘an energetic songand dancenumber,
the message of which goes like this:
“We don't give a shit about you,
We're inthis for the money; we don't
give a shit about whether you're hav-
ing a good time, cause we are.” And
it shows, The show isa great disap-
pointment,
‘The Lampoon show, which played
at Troy's Proctor Theater last week
and which will be making its way to
this campus November 7, is their se-
corid stage show since the Lampoon
boom three years ago that
quadrupled sales. The Ponies have
recently extended their octopus-like
tentucles into records, films, radio,
posters, and special issues, proving
that there are a hell of a lot more
things to laugh about than we
thought. Even without Nixon,
The Lampoon people, though
never paragons of good taste, have
always been intelligent, clever
full of insight, The Lampoon show,
however, is just plain vulger, The
show consists of about two dozen
skits, sketches, bits, and songs that
occasionally make us laugh but rare-
ly make us think, The program notes
‘efforts .succeeding wholly on the
author's seductively comic prose.
The stage skit is funny, too—if you
find the word “fucking” used-as an
adjective 47 times in ten minutes fun-
ny. A lot of people do.
The show uses.a lot of funny
‘words in fact; among them are such
favorites as “cunt,”*shit,” “asshole,”
“prick,” “tits,” “dildo,” and more
technical compounds like “mother
fucker and “shithead,” all
guaranteed to effect waves of
laughter at their mere utterance,
Oddly enough, even though the
show's material is unrelenti
Pointlessness, most of the audience
ed by the language, like
gto the library to look up all
those words in the big dictiona
Make no mistake—the show’
vocabulary isn't offensive
tedious,
Inall fairness, thereare a couple of
good bits in the show, the best one
being a song by Watergate convicts
Magruder, Colson, Krough, and
Dean, who, wielding golf clubs and
singing negro blues, complain about
having to drink domestic cham-
pagne and wait two days for laundry
in their low-security prison. But the
good bitsare outnumbered twelve to
‘one by the sludge. “The National
Lampoon Show” simply lacks the
bite, the vigor, and ther integrity of
the magazine, or, better still, “Lem=

Escape to Tranquility
by Susan Colman
‘Away... . The weekend caught
me by surprise when we spon-
taneously drove to Vermont. An un-
inhabited’ ski lodge between
Killington and Stoweawaited the fif-
teen or so people who had oneai
tranquility, And it was incredibly
fulfilled throughout the day we have
been here.
We arrived early in the morning
with the sunrise, The azure sky
enyeloped us and dispelled the
coldness one feels at dawn, Our
‘dwelling exuded a kind’ of warmth;
helping’ to bridge the gap between
the cold dankneds of the city and the
mystery of the forest. Weimmediate-
ly experienced a communion with
nature; not overwhelming but com-
forting, And it filled us with
calmness. All of us bécame friends, if
only for this brief experience
The lodge, located on the slope of
4 mountain, is surrounded by similar
dwellings. All blend amazingly well
into the foliage and the sense of com=
munityisevident, The mountain, ap-
proximately 2,000 feet high, is a
steep precipice which isnow affected
by the changing hues of the dying
leaves. The colors; reds, yellows and
golds frame the mountainside and
we feel a strange appreciation of
nature like few of us have ever felt
before.

The foliage is breathtaking as we
hike the mountain and we stop every
few hundred feet to rest and let the
‘waves of nature creep over us, The
intense yet relaxed fatigue which we
experience somehow makes it all
worthwhile,
‘All our daily struggles seem dis-
tant and we feel little except the
satisfaction which we have attained
through our physical exertion. Our
emotions lose the complexity they
have acquired in the city and we ind
contentment in the simple things.
The twilight and carly evening also
take on this demeanor. Sitting
around a large table, we satiate our
ravenous appetites in a large feast of
hetti, with all the trappings. All
else seems so trivial compared to the
enjoyment we derive from this
Everyone seems unhassled by life;
everyone assumes a calm attitude
Complaceney permeates all, Sooner
or later, we know we will haye to go

X-rated film of the year,
If you're expecting an evening of
torrid love scenes from “Emman-

you're looking for strictly physical
stimulation, don't see “Emman-
nuelle," Don't let the X-rating throw
you; “E c delicately

nuelle is forced to decide whether to
ain her own sketchy ideals and re-
main estranged from the group or to
open herself 10 the seemingly banal
influences of that group.
She chooses the latter; in effect,
she is throwing off the societal sane-
timony of forced virginal purity. The
experiences that follow, including an
introduction 10 masturbation, anal
intercourse, and an involved lesbian
affair, make up the bulk of the plot
and Emmannuelle’s eventual
metamorphosis, Sylvia Kristel, a
luscious wide-eyed waif, is fresh and
lovely as Emmannuelle, although
her carnal scenes are by far het most
vibrant ones,
The film's director, Just Jueckin,
has created some miarvelously
hewutiful effects through the use of
soft-focus lenses and fluid camera
movement, The results are muted,
almost translucent scenes and a gen-
tle flowing from shot to shot,
creating an expeessionistic dream-

Aside from that complaint, Se

Living With the
Second Amendment
by Gordon Karp <t
President Ford has made it clear that he in- with semantics in a
tends to keep right on mingling. Dialogue
the American people our first unelected presi-
dent contends, is of the utmost importance in
‘our society. The man has been shot at twice in
three weeks. So we have a problem, The issue
is not how to catalogue all the nuts who live in
the fifty states, or what the Secret Service can
do about them. The issue is, as it always has
been, gun control,
Granted, there is some truth to the
overworked phrase: guns don't kill people,
people do, But people with guns kill people a
lot more easily than people without guns.
Should something be done to contro! the
‘number of illegally possessed handguns in the
United States? You bet. And it would protect
you and me just as much as Jerry Ford. Not
that I expect a half hour of network coverage
when someone takes a shot at me, but 1 do
want help, Let's put an end to the kind of
entertainment that the Saturday night special
has made the longest running hit in the history
of American Street Theatre
And now to theconservatives and free liber-
tarians | hear breathing down my neck. Yes, 1
believe in the Bill of Rightsand I don't want to
see them voided by acts of Congress. Like it or
‘ot, you, me and the second amendment can
all be healthy at the same time. Just to beclear,
here's the second amendment, in its entirety: A
well regulated militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people
10 keep and bear arms, shallnct be infringed.
Note the intent of the amendment and then
ask anyone; which well regulated militia was
Sara Jane Moore associated with? To play
sense, regulation isnot a synonym for prohibi-
tion, There are many types of regulations
which do not infringe upon your right to
possess the good being regulated. The
Massachusetts Bartley-Fox act, for instance,
appliesonly to illegally owned handguns being
carried outside the owner's home.
‘We have delegated to various agencies of
the several levels of government the very
desirable end of protecting us from the
capricious and dangerous acts of others. Gun
control is merely a necessiry and appropriate
means of achieving that end. It violates none
of the rights secured (0 use in the first ten
amendments.
Imagine a contemporary constitutional
convention at which all levels of government
would undoubtably have delegates. An
amendment like the following would probably
result: Efficient personal transportation, be-
ing necessary to the prosperity of a free state,
the right of people 10 own and operate
automobiles, shall not be infringed.
Would such an amendment prohibit the
government from registering automobiles to
prevent trafficking in stolen cars and to make
it possible to apprehend drivers who leave the
scene of an accident? Surely not, And so it
should go with registering or in some other
manner regulating handguns.
“The Bartley-Fox Bill should serve as an ex-
ample not only to the states, but to the federal
‘government as well. There are ways tocontrol
the number of illegally possessed handguns in
‘America that will peacefully coexist with the
second amendment.
ditorial / comment
| Buzz Off !
A bill is presently on its way to Student Association's Central Council that would set
WSUA's budget for next semester at a bare minimum. Though the conversion of
WSUA from an on-campus carrier current station to 10-watt FM stereo is universally
acclaimed to be desirable, it seems that fulfillment of that goal has become secondary
to debate about the present budget.
That debate stems from WSUA' ty. It is understandable that
students find it difficult to believe that WSUA will go FM when station managers have
‘been telling SA for five years that they would “soon” go FM. However, the FM
application had never left the station until this past summer. The present delays within
the university are not unexpected; with some pressure the :.pplication should be at the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in a few weeks. Assuming the FCC
approves, WSUA will be FM within a year. So now is the time for WSUA, SA, the
students and the rest of the university to work their utmost to obtain for WSUA the
new status.
Instead, it appears that SA and WSUA have taken adversary roles. Student
Association's executive branch worked out a “shoestring” budget for WSUA's spring
semester slicing more thana third of their fall appropriation, and there was talk about a
zero budget. Some WSUA officials reported that the sports department was asked to
support the contention that they were the only part of WSUA worth funding. WSUA
threatened to withdraw their FM application if too many cuts were made. Andso on.
Threats to withdraw the FM application for any reason represent a lack of sincere
interest in the students. Waving a sword at the radio station's budget is the wrong
attitude for the SA exec branch. Instead, both WSUA and SA must take a greater
interest in the higher goal, serving students. This may have already started,
WSUA and the SA exec branch have begun talks to work out next semester's funding.
WSUA would probably be willing to cut about twenty per cent of their fall
appropriation for the spring semester, and the Central Council will probably vote a
figure near that, That appropriation would be made with the expectation that the FM
application will be approved, a reasonable conclusion. If, however, WSUA cannot go
FM, the station should be disbanded.
WSUA's inadequacies are inherent, not the result of bad staff or programming, The
station is, in its present state, limited to less than half the student body since it
icasts on-campus only. Its reception is poor because it is carrier current, and not
stereo. Though the station itself has improved so that it is comparable to any staticnin
the region, its listenership will always be low. Sports, news and the most innovative
special programs will not make up for the lack of a music listening base. WSUA AM
costs too much in money, time and space for the service it provides. Without FM it still
may be possible to retain the training function for future professionals, but it is not
worth keeping up the quad transmitters for that.
Indeed, it isn't sensible to make any thousand-dollar repairs on the AM equipment
this spring. If there is a major breakdown, the station should limp its way to FM. Of
course, it is more important to go FM than to save money, so if there would be
complications from the FCC about grantinga FM license toa non-functioning station,
are should be taken to keep the station operating.
Studer and impatience with WSUA was expressed last spring from Rick
Meckk special Central Council committee. Meckler, now SA Vice President,
red” the station into gettingits application out. Now that the station has started the
application process, however, efforts should be directed primarily to further it.
FM is on its way, and if it isn't, WSUA is on the way out.

Inference
To the Edhor:
Fuerza Latina would like to have it made
clear that we did ntot write the article on page
nine ofthe last issue of the ASP, aa the graphic
featured with that article would seem to
suggett, We hope that no one has inferred that
‘we are striking up old conflicts with the EOP-
SA. ‘
We also wish to take this opportunity to
welcome the West Indian and. Carribean
brothers and sisters to join our membership
and thereby add to our cultural education.

Chavez Forgotten?
To the Editor:
What could be a greater display of apathy
than the number of students who attended the
recent meeting that was held in the CC fireside
fireside lounge forall students interested in the
plight of the farmworkers in this country’? A
total of six students showed up to show their
concern for a group of people who have been
harassed and discriminated against for years.
Where were the rest of the concerned students?
Were they too busy to attend the meeting?
Surely they could have spared one hour of
their time to help the people who pick the
grapes and lettuce we eatand whom to this day
remain grossly underpaid with too few
benefits
‘An hour-long movie describing the U.F.W.
(United Farm Workers), their leader Cesar
Chavez, and their goals will be shown soon on
campus, Let's hope more people show up for it
than did for the discussion.

sity Day, Homecoming, Parent's Weakend
‘and probably a host of other things. Itis one of
‘the rare times ‘throughout the year that the
‘students of this university as well as the sur-
rounding community can discover what this
great university has to offer. It is one of the
‘most enjoyable and simultaneously one of the
‘most significant days on our university calen-
dar, Families, students, faculty, administra-
tion, staff, alumni, and the local community
help make this weekend possible through par-
ticipation in planning and attendance at the
various demonstrations and exhibits. In addi-
tion, this year an old tradition has been reviv-
ed at Albany—the Homecoming Parade. This
parade was possible only through the efforts
of members of our university community.
With all the apathy and violence and
destruction that we see and hear of everyday,
this past weekend certainly was a bright spot
for the Albany’ university community. One
simple question | ask? Why was not one word
mentioned in Tuesday's Albany Student Press
‘concerning this past weekend?
‘The ASPis a publication responsive to and
responsible to the people of this school. Cer-
tainly a small space on some page could have
been reserved to give the students of this un-

Unorganized Football
To the Editor:
We, the members of “Vinnies,” feel that
the Women's Intramural Recreational
Association is very inefficiently organized in
conjunction with women’s flag foctball.
The rules were not presented in a clear
manner to the teams or to the officials. This
was evident when officials were forced to con-
sult the rule book too much, and when of-
ficials were not sure which official was sup-
posed to call certain penalties. The WIRA has
been negligent in assuring the teams that
referees would be at each game. A game
should not be scheduled without scheduling
Teleroes af the ame time. Presenily games are
‘scheduled at the teams’ convenience and then
‘asearchis made for officials, How many men's
flag football gamesare called off due to lack of
officials? ‘
‘The one and only “field” is not always ade-
quately prepared for flag football games: For
‘example, on Sunday, September 28, a game
‘was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. The field was still
lined for field hockey. The officials were not
‘aware that the field was not properly prepared
for the game. This alone is inexcusable!
The goal markers for women’s flag football
have consisted of sweatshirts and jackets ob-
tained from the members of the teams that are
playing. The men have bright orange cones to
mark their goal lines, We feel that the women's
teams should also have some type of bright
markers to differentiate the goa! lines,
‘Whereas in men’s flag football, the teams
received a full page of penalties and the severi-
ty of each, we women have no such list. All we
were told was that we shouldn't wo?ry about
most of them, Since the beginning of our
‘games, we have been called for a number of
different offenses, most of which we were
given 5 yards for. We feel that itis unfair that
we don't know.what exactly will be called as a
penalty, and how severe it will be, We, too,
should have received a list for us and our of-
ficials to follow instead of leaving it up to the
discretion of the official as to whether rou-
ghing should be called in a girls’ game.
We would also like to protest one rule. This
the “whistle rule” which says that when the
bull is hiked, no onecan move until the whistle
is blown, Theoretically, the whistle is blown as
the quarterback receives the ball. In practive,
the whistle is often slow, which hurts the ef-
ficiency of the offensive teams.
We feel that there has been unsportsman-
like conduct on the part of all teams, A great
deal of this has been caused by confusion and
ignorance. This could be resolved by increased
‘organization and cooperation from the
WIRA, the officials, and all the women in the
womens flag football league.

EANNURARALARERRRALERA
by Craig Bell
The Albany State Great Danes
football team should have an “easy”
time this Saturday when they travel
to Rochester to tangle with the RIT
Tigers. i
Danes coach Bob Ford readily ad-
‘mits that Albany is a superior
ballclub but adds “we can't afford a
week of non-growth.”
“We got away with alot of mis-
takes last Week the kind which we
‘won't be able to get away with wher.
‘we come up against the tougher op-
ponents on our schedule.”
RIT meanwhile has been having
its problems. They lost their season
‘opener to Hobart college and were
destroyed last week by St. Lawrence
College, 56-0.
"Young Team
The Tigers are basically a young
team with a lot of freshmen and
sophomores in the starting lincup,
according to Ford, Since they are so
young, Ford expects them to im-
prove with the season.
Their offense revolves around the
right arm of quarterback Paul
Adamo.
Adamo connected on 16 of 35
passes last week for 162 yards and is
the second leading passer in Division
III of the NCAA. He averages 17
completions a game.
His favorite target is split end Al
Lentz. Lentz burned St. Lawrence
last week for eight catches for 74
yards and is the leading pass receiver
in Division 1M with 18 receptions,
Ford's scouting reports back up
what RIT previous scores seem to
indicate: their running game is not
very sound (last week they managed
minus one yard rushing for theentire
game),
“Their backs are small and only
anes Prepare For Tigers
average in speed,” said Ford, “The
offensive line is of average size and
very basic. Their blockingis not con-
sistent, reducing the effectiveness of
their running game, but they do give
the quaiterback excellent. pass
Protection.”
“We'll give them different looks in
the defensive secondary, and double
and triple Lentz if we have to", said
Ford. Adamo has a quick release
and is tough to get to, but we'll mix
up our defensive alignments and
hope to get to him on occasion."
On offense the Danes will be try-
ing to eliminate foolish penalties and
striving for consistency, offensively.
Albany finally got the big offen-
sive machine rolling as they churned
out 549 total yards last week against
Brockport.
Orin Griffin, who led the ground
game with 235 yards gained in only
one half of play, was named ECAC
Division II co-
Once again Albany will try to es-
tablish the inside power game.
Ford's Philosophy
“Once they respect us inside
‘opens it up for us to get outsidi
said Ford. “The inside game will be
in the hands of Tom DeBlois if he is
physically able. DeBlois is going to
sec the doctor and if he feels that the
week off will help his toc that much,
then he won't play”
Either Bill Ruggles or Mike
Mirabello could be in DeBlois' spot
come Saturday.
If the Danes have a problem that
needs to be solved, it is the hi ich
spot lelt vacant by the injured Glenn
Sowalskic. Tim Ridgeway did a
job last week but has been sick a
week. Mike Monroe, another able
performer, is not available and Roy

Ford is confident that the offense

_ Ninth-Ranked Booters Face Red Dragons
by Nathan Salant
‘The Albany State varsity soccer
team faces its first major challenge of
the young season when they meet the
Cortiand Red Dragons under the
lights at 7:30 p.m, in Cortland, ina
game to be broadcast live over
WSUA-640 AM.
Albany is ranked 3-0, ninth in the
State, 1-in State University of New
York Athletic Conference play,
while Cortland is number eight, 4-0,
3-0 in the Conference.
Last year the teams playedtoa 0-0
tie in Albany,
Danes’ Coach Bill Schieffeli
year's meeting of the “undefeated”
promises to be another well-played,
physical contest.
“They have a very consistent
"said Schieffelin, The most im-
portant comment I can offer is that
Cortland has not played poorly
against a good team during the past
few seasons.”
Last year the Red Dragons were
undefeated in SUNYAC play, in-
cluding an upset, 2-0, win over
Brockport. More importantly, one
Joss was enough to drop Albany into
third place in the Conference last
year, behind Onconta and Cortland,
“They have not given up more
than two goals in one game in the
past two seasons,” Schieffelin said.
“Balancing that is that they are es-
sentially, a low-scoring club,”
‘The Red Dragons visited RPI last
week, and went home, 1-0, winners
thanks to a defensive mistake by the
Engineers. Albany downed RPI
in their season opener two |
ap.
“Don't interpret that to mean
more than a win,” said Schieffelin,
“For some strange reason, Cortland
has always had trouble with RPI.
‘The old idea that we won, 6-0, and
Cortland won, 1-0, 80 we should beat
Cortland, 5-0, is absolutely
ridiculous.”
The Booters have not played un-
der the lights before, and Schieffelin
hopes that this will not be a serious
disadvantage.
“We'll get therewell in advance of
the game, and we'll head out to the
field early so we can pick out the
poorly lighted areas,” explained
Schieffelin. “I am more concerned
with the home field advantage than’
Solid
According to Schieffelin, Cor-
tland is a team of solid players who
match-up well with Albany. The
Jone standout is Jim Jordan, a
member or the 1974 All New York
State soccer team.
“This is a very big game for both
clubs," said Schieffelin. “We are
ranked ninth in the state, they are
number eight. Both of us are un-
defeated in the Conference, and last
year, one loss was enougt. to drop us
down to a tie for third place behind
Cortland and Brockport.”
‘The Booters will go with Henry
Obwald in the net, and a frontline of
Chepe Ruano, Matty Denora,
Frank Selca, and Pasquale Petric~
cione,
“We have the momentum as far as
the scoring end of it is cornered,”
said Schieffelin. “We've scored 18
{goals in 3 games, and allowed one,s0
offensively 1 believe we have an
edge.”
‘The defensive alignment depends
very much oa the ankle of center
fullback Ricard Rose who has been
sidelined by a bad sprain for the past
two games.
Mf Rose is healthy, he will play
center fullback, flanked by Pepe
Aguilaron the left and Arthur Bed-
ford on the right. If not, Aguilar will
move to the center spot and either
Carlos Arnago or Carlos Rovito will
play left fullback.
“Aguilar has been doing an out-
standing job,” said Schieffelin of the
freshman who has filled in forthein-
jured Rose. “He has played as near-
perfect as anyone on the team, He
keeps his cool and knows how to
direct the defense.”
The halfback assignments also de-
pend indirectly on Rose, as Rovito
normally fills the starting left half-
back slot, with John Rolando in the
center and Simon Curanovic to his
right
If Rose does not play, Arango is
the more likely to be left fullback to
keep Rovitio at his natural position,
according to Schieffelin
‘Albany Has Momentum
Analysis: Albany has the momen-
tum and has been scoring regularly.
While Cortiand's defense may
temper the Danes’ attack, Albany
should still find the net at least two
or three times.
Defensively, the Danes match up
at least even with Red Dragons, so
‘one goal may be enough for a win,

Plattsburgh had tied the score just
an inning earlier thanks to some
shaky Dane defense. Marty
Donahue led it off with a high pop
into short left, Shortstop Silverman
raced back, called for it, and then
dropped it, Donahue winding up
‘on second. On the next’ play, Doug
Robert hit a sinking liner to center-
field. Nelson. raced in under it,
appeared to have it, and then
dropped it, as Donahue held at se-
cond.
Bruce Close then dropped: a
beautiful bunt over pitcher Paul
DeLello's head and when third
baseman Jim Willoughby slipped
trying to field it, Donahue raced in
all the way from second, That was
the only run Dane pitchers allowed
the entire afternoon. DiLello allow-
ed only five hits (all singles, three of
the inficld variety) white striking out
ight and walking three.
‘Vanderhoff was pitching an ex-
cellent game himself. The Danes gar-
nered only two hits the entire game
but made the most of their scarce op-
portunities. Besides the run without
the aid of a hit in the sixth inning,
Albany tallied once in the third on
only one safety.
Nelson was hit bya pitch to start it
off and promptly stole second onthe
first pitch to the plate. Vanderhoft
then fanned the next two but camein
a little too close with a fast ball and
Jeff Breglio slammed it onalineinto
leftcenter to score Nelson with the
first run of the game.
It was beginning to look asif that
was the only run DiLello would need
until the Cardinals broke their scor-
ing drought in the fifth-their first run
in twelve innings,
‘They later gave DiLello a scarein
the last frame when an infield hit and
‘a walk put two on with only one out.
Dan Pazzanese then sent a screamer
intoshort center for what looked like
a sure hit before Nelson came
scooting in to make a fine catch.
Another hard shot to left field was
taken and the ball game was over
with freshman DiLello picking up
his first varsity win ever. ‘I was very
pleased,"said the coach of hisperfor-
mance. “I kind of expected it from
him because he pitched fairly welt
against some tough baliclubs the last
few games... and | figured we could
beat this club(Plattsburgh).”
But the story of the first game was
Dollard. The slender righty, who has
pitched against every team the
Danes have played this fall, was just
superb.
He allowed only two hits-a double
down the leftfield linebyClose in the
first and a single up the middle by
Robert inthe third-and faced only 24
batters in the seven inning contest
The only other runner was Close
‘again who walked with (wo outs in
the sixth and was stranded there.
After the Danes had built up their
quick 3-0 lead, the only question
was: How many strikeouts would
Dollard wind up with? The answer
was 12-a club high this year and
possibly also a personal high for
Dollard. “That might be the highest,
I'm not sure,” said the man who is
now pitching his third consecutive
year on the varsity.
He had at least one whiff in every
frame except the sixth while fanning
the side on two occasions: the fourth
and the seventh. “He looked fine,
real sharp,” praised Burlingame.

Library Survey Shows Book Losses
by Elizabeth Freedman
The alarmingly high rate of books
stolen, lost, or otherwise missing
from the SUNY library has caused
great amount of concern on the
part of University faculty members
and personnel.
Ina recent survey to determine the
percentage of books missing from
the library collection in the last
academic year (74-75), two groups of
books were randomly chosen as
samplings. Both groups contained
1,000 volumes each. One group, con-
taining books of over two years old,
had about 7% missing, o unaci
table for. ‘the other set, which in-
cluded newer books (under two
years old) had about 10% of its
collection gone. The books missing
were presumably still in the library's
possession, but had not been charg-
ed out to anyone on circulation,
Although the survey is far from
foolproof as an indication for the
percentage of books missing from
the entire library collection, and only
hypothetical conclusions can be
drawn from the results, it does reveal
that a high rate of loss is a very real
they could retain a de fucto student
inajority and still comply with the
letter of the law. An example of such
a plan was unveiled by Coyne at the
meeting. Basically it would have ine
creased the studentrepresentationon
the Membership Board by four while
appointing an equal number of Un-
iversity Council Members, By doing
this a fifty-fifty split between
students and non-students would
technically be maintained but in fact
with many of these Council members
living far from Albany it would be
doubtful that they could attend the
bulk of the meetings, This is signiti-
cunt becuse the absence af ane of
them in the face of pertect student
attendance would give the students a
working majority

SA Makes Restrictions On Solicitations
After Charging Paper With Harassment
by Betty Stein
Claiming tat they we
ing students” on the podium, Stu-
dent Association Vice Presid
Rick Meckler revoked the solici
tion permit of se
newspaper hawkers on September
24, Although the permit was re-
issued within a matter of hours, the
incident has raised important
questions about theextent of control
SA—or anyone~-has over the public
sale of newspapers
“I gave them four warnings," said
Meckler, who claims he received
several complaints from students
about the “hard-sell” tactics used by
groups such as the Young Socialist
Alliance to sell their newspapers
Meckler subsequently told the
hawkers they could not approach
students individually. Instead,
Meckler said they would be allowed
to stand outside and hold up the
and prominent problem on campus
tis rapidly becoming a central issue
and an area of major concern for the
library and the authorities.
The problem is by no means uni-
que to our library, Other libraries
with similar troubles of missing
books by theft or other means, have
aitempted to control the rapid deple-
tion, of their resources through
mechanical methods and modern
technology. State University of New
York at Farmingdale, has specially
treated their books in a way that

American Civil Liberties Union
attorney Greta Powers however says
that SA iy oversteppingits boundsin
making such a restriction, “The Stu-
dent Association doesn’t have and
can’t have any jurisdiction on this,”
said Powers, speaking on behalf of
the Socialist groups,
“If they actually harass somebody,
then you can arrest them,” she said,
‘otherwise, they can’t be restricted,”
SA President’ Andy Bauman
defended the conditions laid out by
Meckler, “It’s not interfering with
the right of free speech.” sind
Bauman, “We're not stopping them
from selling anything they want,”
Bauman feels that the hawkers
were the ones overstepping their
bounds. “They were
harassing the students,"
“There's no need to go up to[them]
According to Powers, a similar
case came up in Albany about six
months ago, In this instance, several
people selling Socialist newspapers
at the corner of State and Pearl were
arrested on charges of harassment
and not having a vendor's license.
The judge ruled in favor of the
hawkers, He held that license laws
are not applicable to political
literature, since its purpose is to get
out ideas, not make money,
SA lawyer Sandy Rosenblum feels
this is a different situation, “The
State University campus is not the
streets. of New York,” said
Rosenblum, who claims the issue is
one of accessibility.
“What's effective hereisto.call out

“Ldon’t think anyone hay the right
to interfere with another person's
privacy or passage across a public
plce,” suid Rosenblum, "This is
something they [SA] should do with
all cases, not just the Socialists,” he
added, emphasizing that SA has no
axe lo grind with the Socialist
groups in particular.
Powers called this restriction un=
reasonable. “People don't have to

According to Powers, no college
can claim the right to make such
restrictions by saying that it is not a
public place, Courts have upheld the
right of an individual to treedom of
speech in all areas generally opento
the public, even on private cam-
puses, This would include, for exam-
ple, the podium and Campus Center
lobby, but not such areas as the dor-
mitories.
