The Albany Coalition for Peace and Justice sponsored discussions to hopefully increase SUNYA’s
awareness to the ever-escalting war in S.E. Asia. The Coalition hopes to hold another mass rally in April
like the one held in Washington last May.

Rally to Save Abortion
by Aralynn Abare
Betty Friedan, author of The
Feminine Mystique, founder of
NOW (National Organization for
Women), and prominent spokes-
woman for the women’s liberation
movement in America, voiced sup-
port Wednesday for tomorrow’s
Women’s Strike Coalition march
on the Capitol.
Friedan and other Women’s Lib
representatives spoke at a press
conference held before the Capi-
tol District Women’s Press Club
debate with Barnett Fowler,
Times Union columnist.
About the march, she empha-
sized that “the prominence there
will be of young women, especial-
ly those students who cannot get
out during the week, who will
make their numbers felt.”
Friedan vowed, “We will not
tolerate any messing with this law
that, for the first time in a hun-
dred years, gives women the right
of control over their own bodies.”
She called “obscene and immoral”
the idea that “any politician, or
and legislator would treat women,
who are 55% of the voting popula-
tion of the State of New York,
with such contempt at the request
of any political or religious pres-
sure group, which would dare try
to take back our right to control
our own bodies, and our own
reproductive processes.”
The demonstration is to protest
the 42 bills currently before the
legislature to restrict abortion.
These bills range from reducing
the time period for justifiable
abortions to twelve weeks from
commencement of pregnancy, to
barring women from abortion
whose husbands, if they are living
together, do not consent,
Cathy Walsh, of SUNYA Wo-
men’s Lib, explained that Satur-
day’s march, called for by the
Women’s Strike Coalition of New
York City, will start from Draper
Hall at 12:30 p.m., and proceed
along Washington Avenue to the
Capitol for a 1 p.m. rally.
The Women’s Strike Coalition is
composed of about 100 NYC
groups who support three basic
demands: free abortion on de-
mand with no forced sterilization;
free 24-hour community con-
trolled child care; and equal job
and educatiaonl opportunities.
“This coalition,” Friedan ex-
plained, “is one of the many new
efforts of unity among women
who have coalesced as a result of
the August 26 Women’s Strike,
when more women that ever be-
fore joined to act in their own
interest in any time or place.”
“That was only the beginning,”
she affirmed, “and now we are
translating that energy into politi-
cal power.”
Along this line, Mrs. Friedan
announced the formation of a
Women’s Political Caucus, in
which “Republican and Demo-
cratic women, as well as women
who no longer support any party”
will join to demand that 50% of
all candidates for all political of-
fice be women.
Another women’s effort en-
dorsed by Friedan was the mass
lobby planned for next Wednes-
day at the Capitol. Hundreds of
members and representatives of
45 medical, civic, religious, politi-
cal and women’s organizations
which form the Coalition of Or-
ganizations for Abortion Rights
(COFAR), plus the Westchester
Committee for Legal Abortion,
are expected to converge on the
legislature to petition lawmakers
to oppose any NYS abortion law
restriction,
“These women, also in an unpre-
cendented organization, are
coming,” explained Friedan, “to
express a political determination
to protect the hard-won right of
women, and to confront those
who should tamper with it.”
Jane Trichter, representing
COFAR, defined the general pur-
pose of the group, which is to
“oppose all efforts to add any
restrictions to the present abor-
tion law, and to support all efforts
to enhance the right of individuals
to limit their own reproduction.”
Friedan threatened revenge
upon any “man who tolerates any
tampering with this law, from
Governor Rockefeller on down,
(as) enemies of women” and she
promised ‘‘excommunication”
from office for any legislator who
supports restricting abortion
legislation.
Reporters ask Betty Friedan a prominent spokeswoman for the Women’s Liberation Movement, ‘about
‘plans for this Saturday’s planned march on the Capitol.
Sets Spring Plans
by Harry Weiner
During the month of December, 1970, student
groups from the United States, South Vietnam and
North Vietnam met to discuss a treaty which would
contain the essentials for a just and immediate peace
in Indochina. The results of those meetings, better
known as the “People’s Peace Treaty,” and the
initial plans for May’s actions were discussed on
each of the quads Wednesday and Thursday nights.
A documentary on today’s North Vietnamese so-
ciety, “People’s War,” was also included in each of
the discussions.
The Albany Coalition for Peace and Justice
sponsored these discussions, in the hopes of increas-
ing SUNYA’s awareness to the ever-escalating war in
Southeast Asia. Although a great deal of time was
spent viewing the film at each campus gathering, the
major emphasis was placed upon the students’
signing of petitions endorsing the Joint Peace Treaty
which was enacted last Christmas by the members
of the American Students Delegation, the North
Vietnam National Union of Students, and the South
Vietnam Liberation Students Union. The petition-
ing is hoped to show solidarity behind the treaty,
the essence of which boils down to three major
demands which will be made on Congress: (1) the
immediate withdrawal of all U.S. support in South-
east Asia, (2) a minimum income of $6500 for a
family of four in Vietnam, and (3) the freeing of all
political prisoners. The treaty also demanded
specific dates when each of the above demands were
to take effect.
A spokesman for the “Albany Coalition” said that
the organization had high expectations for the 1971
spring offensive. Among the most ambitious of
these plans were: (1) Mass rallies to be held on April
24th in Washington and San Fransisco centering on
the three demands, (2) a march from the SUNYA
downtown campus to the First Trust Bank of
Albany on April 30th demanding an end to their
investment in war related industries, and (3) various
events in Washington during the first few days in
May culminating in a national moratorium on May
5th, when “schools, colleges, and businesses” should
close.
More definite plans for the spring actions are
expected to be announced after the spring recess. In
the meantime, the Albany Coalition for Peace and
Justice is trying to “wake-up” the “emotions and
consciousness” of the community, both on and off
campus. The film, peace treaty, and plans for spring
action, are expected to be the first step in thawing
out a movement which has become more or less
frozen during the long, cold winter.

Roommates; or Know Your Enemy
You'd think that with all the progress we’ve made in the educa-
tion game, somebody would have found a eure for roommates by now.
But no. Roommates remain as big a problem today as they were when
Ethan Mather founded the first American college.
(Incidentally, despite what you’ve heard, Harvard was not the
first American college. Mr. Mather started his institution almost 100
years earlier. And it was quite an institution, let me tell you! Mr.
Mather built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, animal dentistry and
flintlock repair. He built a covered stadium for lacrosse that seated
200,000. Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin
motto CAVE MUSSI—“Watch out for moose.” The student union
contained four bowling alleys, 21 horoscope machines and a 97-chair
barbershop.
(It was the barbershop, alas, that brought Mr. Mather’s college
to an early and total end. The student body, alas, then as now, con-
sidered haircuts an Establishment hangup, and nobody set foot in the
barbershop. The chief barber, Truscott Follicle by name, grew so de-
pressed staring at 97 empty chairs that one day his mind finally gave
way. Seizing his vibrator, he ran outside and shook the entire campus
until it crumpled to dust. This later became known as “Pickett’s
Charge.”)
But I digress. We were exploring ways for you and your roommate
to stop hating each other. This is admittedly no easy task, and yet it
is not impossible if you will both bend a bit, give a little.
I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz, ’08). My
roommate was, I think you will allow, even less agreeable than most.
He was a Tibetan named Ringading whose native customs, while in-
disputably colorful, were not entirely endearing. Mark you, I didn’t
mind so much the gong he struck on the hour or the string of fire-
erackers he ignited on the half-hour. I didn’t even mind that he singed
chicken feathers during his prayers at dawn and dusk. What I did
mind was that he singed them in my hat.
To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my habits either
—especially my hobby. (I collect airplane tires and had, at that time,
nearly 400,000 of them in our room.)
‘Well sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringading and me,
and they might actually have reached, the breaking point had not we
each happened to receive a package from home one day. Ringading
opened his package first, smiled shyly at me and offered me a gift.
“Thank you,” I said. “What is it?
“Yak butter,” he said. “You put it in your hair. In Tibet we call
it gree see kidstuff.”
“Well now, that’s mighty friendly,” I said and offered him a gift
from my package.
“Thank you,” he said. “What is it?”
“A can of Miller High Life Beer,” I said.
“I will try it at once,” he said and did.
“Not bad,” he said.
“It is even better when you open the can,” I said and showed
him how.
He consumed it forthwith. “Wowdow!” he cried. “Never have I
known such mellowness, smoothness, amberness and generalized
euphoria!”
“Have another,” I said.
“Oh, I must not!” he ried. “Obviously a beverage of such splen-
dor is made only for rare occasions and is therefore difficult to obtain
jand costly beyond the reckoning of it.”
(a, ha, the joke is on you,” I said. “Miller High Life is brewed
every single day by plain decent folks just like you and me and is avail-
able everywhere at a price well within the most modest of budgets.”
“Golly,” he said. “Sort of makes a man feel humble.”
“Yes, don’t it?” I said.
Then silently we clasped hands, friends at last. I am proud to say
we remain friends to this day. We exchange cards each Christmas and
each Fourth of July, firecrackers.

“Vietnamization a Failure’’
by John Fairhall
Tran Van Dinh, formerly South
Vietnam’s Acting Ambassador to
the United States, spoke here
Tuesday and charged that the
Vietnamization program is perpet-
uating the war.
Van Dinh said that Vietnamiza-
tion can not work. According to
him, it must necessarily prolong
the war through its requirement
that the U.S. continue to supply
and support the South Vietna-
mese Army (ARVN). Van Dinh
stated that the South Vietnamese
can not fight because of Vietnami-
zation, claiming that Vietnamiza-
tion is “Americanizing the South
Vietnamese Army.” Van Dinh
feels that Laotian failure demon-
strates that ARVN can not fight
with the dedication of the Viet
Cong, ‘he feels their fighting abili-
ty is undermined by their depen-
dence on U.S. aid.
U.S. aid is a crutch that Vietna-
mization will maintain into the
indeterminate future, as Van Dinh
believes, producing continued
confrontations with Hanoi. He im-
plied that the U.S. is in effect
fueling the war, a war which Van
Dinh is convinced can not be
halted through U.S. military sup-
port, Van Dinh stated that Nixon
has no military tacties.
Believing continued use of air-
power and other tactics to be a
part of Vietnamization, Van Dinh
speculated that to compensate for
the Laotian losses a sudden strike
into the North may be planned.
He did not rule out the possible
American use of tactical nuclear
weapons but emphasized that
even in that extreme the war
would continue. Nixon, he feels,
may be blinded through confusing
the Vietnam war with the Korean
conflict. if
It is necessary for Americans,
Van Dinh said, to see the war
from the Vietnamese perspective.
He clearly suggested that Ameri-
ca’s perceptions of the war are not
accurate, but illusions encouraged
by Nixon’s harping on “neo-
isolationism.”
Nixon, he believes, will lose in
72. He admires George McGovern
because he thinks McGovern will
confront the issues, helping to
bring Vietnam into better focus.
Confronting the issues, Van Dinh
said, is the first step toward
“humanizing America.” It is nece-
ssary to humanize America for the
war to end, as he believes that the
“war in Indochina is in America.”
The war started here and must
end here, he stated.
Van Dinh, who supports a docu-
ment called the People’s Peace
Treaty which demands a mini-
mum $6500 a year income for a
family of four and the release of
all political prisoners, as well as.
the end of the war, expressed his
belief that the academic commun-
ity can best influence policy
through contacts with other
Americans. Students, he feels, do
not represent American thinking,

but he believes that the “other
America” can be reached.
Van Dinh is presently working
as a journalist and is teaching at
the SUNY center at Old West-
bury.
Stony Brook Workers
Protest Mass Lay-off
by Vicki Gottlich
Campus -cafeteria workers at
SUNY at Stony Brook have been
striking the Prophet Food
Company, a subsidiary of Grey-
hound Food Service Company,
since March 9, when the company
fired 318 full-time, part-time, and
student workers.
The strikers are protesting the
mass lay-off of workers. The day
after the strike was called, student
supporters occupied the presi-
dents office for several hours and
held the vice-president hostage.
On Monday, union president Leon
Davis spoke at a rally at the
university and promised to do
what the workers demand, Ever
since the strike began, there have
been between thirty and forty
pickets in front of the administra-
tion building each day.
The Stony Brook food service
workers were unionized last year.
Anyone working for twelve hours
or more is eligible for membership
in local 1199 of the Hospital and
Drug Workers Union.
When the workers first struck,
the dispute was brought to
arbitration. Monday, a decision
was made in favor of the food
company. The food company has
two contracts with the university,
one involved with feeding the
students and the other involved
with the union. The arbitrator
declared that the food company
could change its contract and
could legally make mass lay-offs.
Wednesday, Judge Anthony Tra-
via of the First Federal District
Court in Brooklyn issued an in-
junction restraining the union
from further strikes. The union
leaders only want to do what the
workers decide. If they continue
to strike, the leaders can be hea-
vily fined or sent to jail, or federal
marshalls can be called in.
The strike has been indirectly
linked with SUNY Central’s deci-
sion to allow optional meal plans.
Last fall, a little| known provision
in the StonyBrook meal contract
gave the students the right to go
off the meal plan, before the
contract was signed. Before inter-
session, the housing office
surveyed students and discovered
that the majority of them wanted
to break their contracts. There-
fore, three cafeterias were opened
as cash cafeterias while only two
were kept on board. Now, only
slightly more than 1000 students
remain on the meal plan.- This
may have caused the Prophet
Food Company to fire some of its
workers.
Other universities are also having
food service problems. Dishroom
workers at the Men’s Dining Cen-
ter at the University of Rochester
are striking over poor working
conditions and schedules. Strike
leaders there are charging that any
worker attempting to organize
while on duty or any istudent
talking to permanent workers
about the possibility of unioniza-
tion was threatened with sus-
Pension.

To the Editor:
Professors sometimes have asked to be heard on a
topic of general interest through the ASP. My
concern is a teacher education program which
affects as much as one-fourth of the undergraduate
student body. Already, I know some are militant
about real and imagined deficiencies, others comply
with the demands of the program functionaries, and
many have second thoughts about the sequence and
meaningfulness of courses. Graduating students re-
port that the real world of the beginning teacher is
far different from the idealized conception of the
educational theorists. I share some of these concerns.
Condemnation, though, serves little purpose. New
prospectives, the product of creative interchange of
student, faculty, and practitioner opinion can gener-
ate creative innovation. I would like to ask the
leadership to start here.
1. In its simplest form, does not teaching presup-
pose an intent to match knowledge, personality and
skills of getting things done with the problems of
bringing youth into an understanding of possible
alternatives for alleviating need, avoiding injustice,
and generating a prosperous community?
2. If it does, then why is it that we spend hours in
talking about the task of the school, the nature of
the pupil, and the organization of a teaching
procedure before we meet a flesh-and-blood high
school youth? Would it not be better to learn afresh
something of the prablems of high school youth, of
institutional management, of the relevance of sub-
ject matter, and of one’s personality match for
teaching before we make a commitment to a teacher
education program? It is possible, you know.
3. Why is it that we generate lesson plans, write
tests, and discipline hypothetical students in reading
courses before we learn how to get feedback in
eye-ball to eye-ball tutoring, videorecorded small
group instruction, remedial teaching, laboratory and
reading list management? It could be different.
Think about it. Maybe it is the skill that comes
before the reflection which improves one’s perfor-
mance.
4. Does the student teaching performance qualify
a student for the junior high school ghetto (rural or
urban) class? Maybe actual work experience will. It
can be arranges too.
5. Is your experience one of earning marks in
courses while the real world of teaching demands
performance competencies in translating ideas, re-
lating to and managing groups of young people,
assessing learning and teaching possibilities realis-
tically, and establishing rapport with colleagues and
community. Are the university’s priorities in right
order.
We are thinking about changes in the teacher
education program, Help us with your insights,
aspirations, and suggestions! Notes reach the ASP,
conversations can be had in ED 112 (call 457-3833),
suggestions can be written collectively and indivi-
dually. Make us be as innovative and as successful as
you can,
Sincerely,

Owners on a Leash
To the Editor:
I enjoyed the good humor of Ward Gregory in
his letter to the ASP on the problems of the
commie-pinko dogs digging-in at the university
(Wed., March 17), It’s the sort of thing we need in
the discussion of a noisome problem. If I may add
my tuned sense to the discussion, I must say that I
am sorry to see so many dogs on campus because I
don’t seem to see so many loving masters on
campus.
It seems to have become the fashion for students
to possess dogs. Aside from those who let their dogs
romp freely over the podium, there are students on
campus who literally drag their canine possessions
along with them as they go about the business of
student life. Are these people concerned with the
dog’s happiness or their own happiness in ownership
of the dog?
I am not speaking for a canine clean-up on
campus, and I do not mean to offend every dog
owner on campus; but I sometimes wonder how
some masters are providing for the happiness of
their pets. I sometimes wonder whether the univer-
sity is an environment where a dog can find true
happiness.
Perhaps I am taking this all too seriously - after all,
what great things can we expect from a dog’s life?

RA Feedbag
To the Editor:
Russell Cheek states in the March 19 ASP that
“the logic of this maneuver” (cutting RA pay in the
face of increased RA responsibilities) eludes him.
Well, Russell, the logic (or truth) of your so-called
“increased responsibilities” is what eludes me com-
pletely. In fact, I’m not quite sure what the purpose
of your position on the uptown campus was to
begin with.
I have absolutely nothing against the hallowed
position of Resident Assistant, and certainly not
against the various people who occupy it, but come
on, Russell: “all these new responsibilities”? I
laughed uproariously halfway through your letter,
until I realized that your tone of righteous indigna-
tion was serious, the voice of a man staggering under
an oppressive burden of responsibility who has
suddenly been asked to bear yet more and grosser
injustices (in the form of eliminating part of the
board from the RA contract). The RA’s certainly
must have a staggering amount of responsibilities
and behind-the-scenes work, since I’ve had official
dealings with my RA’s (two of them) a cumulative
total of about 15 minutes in the past two semesters,
and I know people who aren’t sure who their RA’s
actually are; rarely having seen this oppressed,
responsibility-laden minority.
Forgive me for’ my sacriligious attitudes, Russell,
but I can’t seem to grasp how the things you
mentioned as increasing your already overloaded
responsibilities do, in fact increase your responsibili-
ties: thefts have doubled, true, but when a TV was
stolen from my suite recently our RA had absolute-
ly nothing to do with the situation. VAndalism to
machines and elevators increasing? Again true, but
are you now required to take rotating guard shifts
over the vending machines, or to make the repairs
yourself, or to carry out the investigations of the
vandalism in cooperation with security? no? Then
how has your responsibility increased from this
factor, Russell? and “with the situation the way it is
now in Vietnam, who knows what is going to
happen in May?” Somehow I have a bit of trouble
figuring out how events in Vietnam in May (why
May?) are increasing your responsibilities here at
SUNYA.
Granted that FSA is, as your point out, mis-
managed, inefficient and in sore need of over
hauling, but it so happens that free food contracts
for the ‘100 or so RA’s” is one of those very
inefficiencies of FSA finance; you seem to contradic
yourself.
So be happy with what you've got Russell: free
tuition, free room, and seven free dinners each week
for doing essentially the same job I did in third
grade when I was the Class Monitor.

“Americans are now generally in agreement
that we cannot afford to take risks with the
environment. My vote tomorrow to continue
funding the development of the SST prototypes
is, in my judgment, totally consistent with this
overriding concern.”

Comment
Editorial
Why Not ‘No Fault’?
The proposed nationwide “no-fault” insurance
is a subject of interest to every American with a
car. Despite the anguished cries of lawyers (who
stand to lose a fortune if the law is passed), the
idea is. workable, and indeed has worked in
Puerto Rico for several years now.
The main complaint issued by opponents of
the measure is that the “no fault” concept,
which pays off immediately and circumvents
legal procedures to fix the blame, would encour-
age reckless driving. Their argument, the lack of
the legal concept of “blame” encourages acci-
dents, does not hold water. Another angle on
this is the fact that all would pay the same rate.
Thus, the more accident-prone new driver (who
now pays about $500 annually) pays only as
much as the 40-plus gentleman with a clean
record (perhaps $250). To many older voters,
this would seem unfair, except that insurance
under the “no fault” law would hopefully only
cost about $250-$300. Especially of interest to
the older is the basic fact that claims could be
settled almost immediately, instead of three to
five years after the incident. People with many
responsibilities can offer ill-afford to foot high
hospital costs while the courts debate who hit
whom. In many cases, it’s neither person’s fault.
What is more important, anyway, determining
who’s to blame, or securing immediate settle-
ment and cutting costs almost in half?
It’s way past time New York, and the entire
nation passed legislation to rid the driving public
of the faulty Fault system.

CHRISTMAS & THE BEADS
OF SWEAT, Laura Nyro (Colum-
bia KC 30259), printed lyrics.
Included is the old Drifter’s
tune, “Up on the Roof,” which is
the first song Miss Nyro has ever
recorded that she didn’t write. It
turns out to be as perfect for her
as “Me and Bobby McGee” is for
Joplin. This is a beautifully con-
ceived album that works as a unit
to take one to the private world
6f Laura Nyro. Her piano work is
a series of sharp, clear notes. Her
voice is an instrument commun-
icating non-verbally even more
than by its presentation of the
lyrics which, by the way, are quite
excellent. This is a consistent,
intricate and wonderful trip.
PEARL, Janis Joplin (Columbia
KC 30322).
Janis’ last album, finished short-
ly before her death, is so far above
anything that she’d ever done
before; all the problems that she’d
struggled with for so long are
cleared up. The band (Full Tilt
Boogie) is the perfect musical
complement to Janis’ musical in-
tensity. And Janis’ voice fulfills
her potential completely. It is soft ,
and harsh and loud and delicate:
its range is displayed as never |
before, and Janis’ control is better
than it’s ever been. She projects,
finally, all the emotion that’s in-
side her. The material is entirely
Janis. It seems that she wrote
every word, but mostly she didn’t.
We can only wonder what the
never-to-be next album would’ve
been like.
CHICAGO III (Columbia C2
30110), color poster, printed lyr-
ies, double LP.
If Chicago hadn’t stuck to their
double LP format, but had con-
densed the best of this material
into one LP, they would've had a
damn good record. As is, much of
the material doesn’t live up to the
Chicago’s talent. The problem,
mainly, is that they’re trying to
break loose from their stereo-
typed sound to move in a number
of directions. There’s a lot of jazz,
some acoustic guitar and even
some country sound. Sometimes
it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Side Two is beautiful throughout;
it is a progression without being
‘Up’-Up, And Away!
by Stephen Aminoff
UP if the name of this exciting
new literary travesty by a wonder-
fully nutty English professor who
does his professing at City College
of New York.
As a work, UP strikes me as one
of the huge comic successes of
late, and can leave you as it left
me with these inane desires to go
running about reading excerpts
from it to anything moving. It is a
collage of assorted bits and pieces
of the ultra-urban, middle class
existence. Author Ronald
Sukenick has a fine sense of real-
ity-oriented absurdity which he
“lays on you” in double doses
throughout the book.
“Just what we need”, one cyni-
cal observer might moan, “ano-
ther bout with the moralistic mas-
terpieces designed to shake us out
of our trees and to enlighten us to
our vast plague of hypocrisy.” UP
is not to be written off so easily.
Mr. Sukenick (to call him “DR.”
would be a little too academic to
link him with a piece such as this)
wants us to enjoy as we read
interesting things about ourselves.
He wants us to howl and squeal as
‘We wallow in our won little myers.
Sukenick deals with some of the
special aspects of childhood with
such imagination that it appears as
though the episodes used must
have been actual occurrences. No
one but a madman could just
invent some of these things. But
then, this Sukenick is no ordinary
author bound within the confines
of literary redundancy. He treats
his childhood experiences in a
manor reminiscent of Frank
Zappa’s more purposeful music.
UP hits a lot of sensitive chords in
the mind of a little Jewish kid
from Brooklyn. His comment
about the little clubhouse
somebody’s basement where the
secret society would meet and
decide how they would rip off
in
candy bars or whether they wan-
ted to challenge the 63rd Street
boys to a game of rough-tackle
football right on 15th Avenue,
was graphic. His mind’s wander-
ings while riding the “D” train to
34th St. were psychic, and his
reflections about trying to avoid
his family scene had a special
relevance to me.
This is not a narrow book,
though. As with many things that
well-read people get together and
collectively call “great”, UP has a
certain timeless and _placeless
quality to it. The characters are
not merely locale centered or-
ganisms peculiar to New York,
but may be looked at as a certain
microcosm of the varied types
contemporary society has to
offer.
UP is one of the new novels with
a strong sense of urgency packed
A lot of
intellectualizing may be done
about why UP is called UP. To my
mind, UP is more of a feeling than
amid all the frolic.
anything else. It’s also the name
of a funny new book.

CHICAGO II is all enjoyable, if

ABRAXAS, Santana (Columbia
KC 30130), poster.
This is an even better LP than
Santana’s first effort. It is charac-
terized by the perfect wedding of
jazz/blues and Latin music. For
some reason, Latin music has
never made it with the pop aud-
ience. Now, hopefully, Santana
will popularize it for everyone.
It’s about time, and Santana’s just
the group to do it. Carlos is just
one of the finest guitarists around.
And the group rates with any
other for the ability of each man’s
instrument to flow and work with
the others. You won't find any
ego battles here, rather there is
only one man with six bodies.
Notice how the drums provide
structure for the organ which is a
context for Carlos’ guitar which

EMPTY BED BLUES, Bessie
smith (Columbia G 30450)
This is the third of five two
record sets that together will in-
clude every song that Bessie Smith
recorded (except for twenty tunes
which appear to be lost for good).
Wisely, such gimmicks as rechan-
neling for stereo have been
avoided; the producers seek to
present the original sound as clear-
ly as possible. On this set, the first
record was made before the
microphone was invented—Bessie
used a megaphone! The second
record is vastly improved by a
mike and a much improved back-
up band. Bessie’s vocal range and
expressiveness is simply incred-
ible. You've got to hear it to
believe it, and even then you may
not. But you should own this
record.

THE ASP SPORTS
State 9 Open Against RPI
by Robert Mirett
The near-record snowfall this
past winter makes it appear that
spring will be later than ever this
baseball season and this presents a
rather serious problem for State
Baseball Coach Bob Burlingame.
In battling the cold weather,
Coach Burlingame has been pre-
paring his ball club for the upeom-
ing season by working indoors.
“We have a three-station set up
for practice,” said the Dane
coach. “We have a ‘bullpen’ with a
dirt mount in the biology build-
ing, a batting cage in the mens’
work on their sliding on mats, and
bolt bases to the floor of the main
gym when they hold infield prac-
tice.
In viewing the team, Burlingame
said the Danes’ defense
depth is “‘adequate.” “The hitters
will be doing most of the playing
as there is not much difference in
defensive abilities based on Fall
results. It also looks as if the
Danes will have good speed with
Al Reid and Rod Dunbar leading
the pack of speedsters.”
Individually, Al Reid was the
Team’s top hitter last year with a
mark of .390 and is set in center
auxiliary gum and also use the
main gym.” The Great Danes

Tedesco, a transfer from HUCC,
Gary Achminski, a junior varisty
ball player last year, and John
Zimmerman, a returning letter
man, are all fighting for the left
field spot. Both captain Tom
Brooks, who hit .304 in the Fall,
at shortstop, and Rod Dunbar at
second base, are secure. While
there are head-on struggles for
first and third positions. At first
it’s Jim Lee and Rick Ward and at
the hot corner it’s Jeff Saperstein
and Bill Lipp. Jack Leahy, who
had a good Fall batting .375, will
be starting behind the plate. Pitch-
ing wise, the Danes are deep with
Nick Ascienzo and Hi Doolittle,
who had three and four wins
respectively last year. Added
mound support will come from
Vie Errante, who was the, most
impressive J.V. hurler last season,
and also from freshman Kevin
Quinn.
On April 6 State will be meeting
RPI in the opening game of the
season, with RPI coming off a
Southern trip the day before. Al-
bany will not make such a trip
this year because of the shift in
spring recess dates which pro-
duced a.relatively short time off—
too short a time to go South.
This spring’s squad is definitely
the best in many years depth-wise
and will be looking to improve on
last year’s record of 8 wins and 11
losses.

Action On
Environment Urged
by Mat Heyman
and Rick Morse
Environment has been labeled
the issue of the 70’s. Issue implies
campaign, campaign implies politi-
cal rhetoric. Beyond the rhetoric,
beyond the neutrality of
“environment” in contrast to
more controversial issues such as
the Southeast Asian War, the im-
plications are the same; time is of
the essence.
In order that our environment
may be salvaged now and not in
some imaginary time in the future
the most viable course of action at
the present time is to bring pres-
sure on the State Legislature. This
summary of some of the environ-
mental issues on the state level is
being offered as a guide to action.
a suggested course of action
would be either writing or calling
legislators or taking advantage of
our location and visiting these
people. A show of support will be
critical to the passage of legisla-
tion.
Political’ rhetoric about “‘envir-
onment” is too well known; we
propose to end it on the students’
part,
The Future of the Adirondacks
The future of the Adirondacks
area is a vital conservation issue. A
new York State Temporary Com-
mission has finished a comprehen-
sive study of the area and made
many stringent recommendations
concerning control and develop-
ment of the Adirondacks. Most
important in their eyes is the
quick establishment of an Adiron-
dack Park Agency to exert control
over this valuable area, There are
opposing interests: timber indus-
tries, group camps, and land
“developers” in general. Public
support for an Adirondack Agen-
cy is vital. Contact your Assem-
blyman and Senator as well as the
Governor's office at the Capitol.
Department of Environmental
Conservation Budget Cut
This department, which was es-
tablished last year at the height of
“environmental” concern, is the
only state agency available for
action on environmental prob-
You’ve
lems. The Ways and Means Com-
mittee of the Assembly is pro-
posing a $4.7 million cut in this
department’s budget. The enforce-
ment capability of the DEC as
well as its field services will be
severely hampered. (Further infor-
mation is available in FA 218.)
Most important to contact are the
chairmen of the Senate Finance
Committee: and the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee.
Bill No. 2816 —
Introduced by Mr. Harris
This bill prohibits the sale or
distribution of household deter-
gent products in New York State
with a phosphorous content in
excess of three per cent of the
total weight of the product.
Bill No. 2817 —
Introduced by Mr. Harris
This bill prohibits the discharge
of mercury or mercurial com-
pounds from industrial and com-
mercial operations.
Bill No. 4231 —
Introduced by Mr. Berle
This bill amends the civil prac-
tice law and rules in order that a
citizen or group of citizens may
bring legal action against anyone
who pollutes, impairs or destroys
the air, water, or other natural
resources or the public trust of
the state or which invades or is
reasonably likely to invade the
rights of the citizens of the state.
‘This bill provides for no out of
court settlements, forcing court
decision rather than “under the
table pay-offs.” It also provides
for a cost ceiling on legal fees for
the plaintiff. This would be a very
important asset to environmental
interests in the state.
The above bills are presently in
the Committee on Conservation,
and will need a great amount of
public support to move out onto
the floor. Time is of the essence.

Record Co-op To Open
by Tony Haul
An ASP Feature
Have you ever wondered why
record albums are so expensive? It
seems many students have and
some are getting together to try
and get a non-profit record co-op
going on campus. Think it’s im-
possible? Well it might be, but
arrangements have been made and
the “People’s Record Store” has
emerged in the basement of An-
thony Hall on State Quad.
Although there are definitely
many problems involved, the An-
thony Hall “Conspiracy for The
People” is selling many albums for
a mere $1.55, All “D’ Albums
that would normally sell for $3.57
in the bookstore will go for $3.00
and “E’s”’ for $3.50).
Stores similar to this one have
been set up on the Stony Brook
and Buffalo campuses and are
thriving. It seems there might be
some problems here at SUNYA
because the S.A. has contract with
FSA that stipulates that the Stu-
dent Association cannot license
anybody to sell items on campus
that are also sold in the book-
store. The organizers of the co-op
who, for the time wish to remain
anonymous, replied that, “if the
FSA was truly serving the stu-
dents here to the best of their
abilities, they would either permit
the running of our alternate,
cheaper co-op or lower their
Prices to sound a lot more like
ours”.
It may be noted here that
the Bookstore makes slightly
under a dollar on each record they
sell. (Because of the absurd pric-
ing in the Bookstore it’s probable
that more records are stolen than
bought there anyway.)
The Co-op people stressed that
although they still had to deal
with Capitalist companies and dis-
tributers they were starting at the
lowest level to cut out profits and
serve the people.
“If students would get together
and organize their resources and
potential they would realize that
without that much effort they
could cut prices on all items they
blindly buy from stores making
absurd profits”. The Food Co-op
downtown was sighted as a def-
inite example of this.
The students also implied that
they felt FSA had entirely too
much power in deciding what
--rosenberg
students do on this campus and
that if “We're going to accept that
kind of shit now without estab-
lishing our own self controlled
institutions to combat our own
exploitation we were doomed to
complete domination from big or-
ganizations,”
“So help support the record co-
op and get yourself some good
music. The Co-op has a stock and
can get the album of your choice
within two weeks by order. The
store is open in the basement of
Anthony Hall, starting Monday by
the following schedule: Monday,
7-10 p.m.; Wednesday, 1-5 & 7-10
p.m.; and Friday, 1-5 p.m.
