FSA’s Cooley Dismisses
Plans for Board Hike

by Al Senia

Last month the ASP reported
that any chance Robert Cooley
had of getting a hike in board
rates approved by the FSA Board
of Directors had appreciably
diminished in the face of in-
creased student, administrative,
and even FSA officials’ opposi-
tion.

Monday afternoon, Robert
Cooley dropped his request for a
price hike. The move was prob-
ably the most significant action
taken at the afternoon FSA meet-
ing which lasted over three hours
and yielded few concrete answers
to some often-asked questions.
The membership will try again at
another meeting next month.

PRELIMINARIES

As reported in past issues of the
ASP, the FSA membership board
has become so concerned with the
financial situation of the corpora-
tion that it balked at superficially
approving the yearly financial
audit at its annual meeting held in
October.

Instead, the members opted to
meet jointly with the FSA Board
of Directors in November. (The
Directors have the real control
over FSA priorities and policy

Poll Watchers

Charge Voting Violations

by Glenn von Nostitz

three poll watchers in the City of Albany claimed last week that they observed several violations of

voting regulations last election day.

Harold Berberick, Belle Drew and Stephen Villano were poll watchers in the eighth and eleventh wards
of the city. Among their charges were that polling places were unmarked, that distance Be. were
never posted, and that absentee ballots were counted and sealed before the legal time. Also, they charged
that a Democratic Committeeman, Buzz McHugh, distributed campaign literature within ten feet of the
polling place in the eighth ward, and that McHugh assisted voters in the voting booth who were clearly not
in need of assistance. When Berberick objected to this last violation, McHugh physically threw him out of
the polling place. When another one of the poll watchers entered the polling place, McHugh insisted that
only one poll watcher per poll was allowed and this person was also physically forced out of the polling

place.

At this point, the Attorney General’s office was called, and a represen’ mf :

continued to violate the law to which responded that he “didn’t care how many people the Attorney

General sends down here.” The representative left shortly after this.
Apparently, violations like these were not limited te the eighth and
eleventh wards. Drew claims that a friend of hers knows about one
polling place which is so well hidden that only voters who know the
Democratic ward leader know where to vote. :
Berberick, Drew and Villano were not the only ones to witness the
violations. Also ont he scene were election inspectors and the police,
but according to the poll watchers they did nothing to stop the
illegalities. “They were acting as the Democratic ward leader’s
bodyguard,” Drew adds. Fume
Berberick says that only “blind, handicapped and illiterate” people
are entitled to assistance in the voting booth. He alleges ne meee

decisions; they meet monthly.)
This was the meeting held Mon-
day afternoon.

All members of the university
community had the right to
attend. Few did, and this sparked
the first disagreement between the
undergraduate student _repre-
sentatives and the rest of the
membership board.

Hours before the meeting began,
SA President Mike Lampert had
sent a memorandum to President
Benezet, who is chairman of the
corporation’s Board of Directors.
Lampert contended that “since
due notice (of the meeting)has not
been given . . . I do respectfully
request that you (Benezet) not
convene today’s illegal meeting
and forthwith set a new date for a
joint meeting of the members and
Board.”

Lampert based his argument on
the fact that last month, the
membership passed a motion to
open meetings to the university
community, and to give ten days
notice of their meetings.

Chandler Stein, FSA attorney,
denied Lampert’s charge and
claimed that notice had indeed
been given through news stories
and a graffitiannouncement in the
ASP. Discussion ensued over
whether this constituted “due
notice” and whether the spirit of
last month’s motion had been
violated.

‘After much bickering, the mo-
tion came to a vote with Benezet
observing that “We had, indeed,
not fulfilled the proper spirit (of
last month’s motion),” and with
an admonishment to see that
nothing similar would occur in the
future.

The members voted 10-5-2 to
meet, with Benezet noting that
“It was unfortunate that faculty
and students were split on the
vote.” (Faculty support carried
the measure.) The students had
suffered their first defeat of the
day.

COOLEY’S PROPOSAL

With the meeting officially
underway, minutes were approved
and a Chairman (Benezet) and
President (John Hartley) of the
Corporation elected. This was a
virtual certainty, since the by-laws
mandate their election.

Then, Robert Cooley came be-
fore the board to announce that
Arnold Colon had been named the
new bookstore manager, and to
present proposals to the Directors.
Colon’s appointment was greeted
with little argument; his creden-
tials were checked thoroughly by
management and students.

Cooley’s proposals and financial
breakdown, however, were a dif-
ferent matter. He urged that the
Directors do the following:

—Close the Patroon Room
evenings.

—Close the Colonial Quad cash
line.

—Convert the Brubacher snack
bar to a vending operation.

—Continue the “Special Fune-
tions” part of the FSA program.

—Continue the Campus Center
Snack Bar and Cafeteria.

—Continue the Brubacher and
Husted cafeteria.

Even though some of the pro-
Posals were in line with student
wishes, tempers flared. The
Directors had received Cooley’s
proposals late Wednesday after-
noon and so had little time to
study them; the membership
board was never given the infor-
mation at all, even though the
purpose of having a combined
meeting was to evaluate Cooley’s
proposals and study the Campus
Center food operation.

The undergraduates (and some
grad students) wanted the meeting
recessed to study the information.
But Cooley and Hartley conten-
ded that action to cut costs need-
ed to be taken immediately be-
cause of the financial situation of
the corporation.

Muskie Gives Views
On Women’s Rights

by Sibel Bulay

Senator Edmund Muskie charged Monday night that President
Nixon has opposed any action to further the cause of women’s rights.

Muskie opened his speech at the “Freedom Forum” in Schenectady
with the usual anecdotes, and commented on Mayor Lindsay’s change
of party: “You know, whenever I’m in New York these days ‘I’m
asked what I think about Mayor Lindsay becoming a Democrat. My
answer is that I can understand why. He suddenly focused on what
five years of Republican rule has done to New York City.” Muskie
went on to say that, “I really think that John made the right move. I
think that his political prospects have brightened. At about the same=
age Winston Churchill made the same move and I think that it was
twenty-nine years later that he became prime minister of Great
Britain.”

‘The Senator had originally planned to talk about the presidency in
America, He spoke, instead, about women’s rights. He had prepared a
speech on women’s rights to present before an exclusively female
audience, but changed’ his mind and decided to present it before a
mixed audience,|as “most women already understand sex discrimina-
tion. They live with it every day. But most men here and everywhere
in American are still not truly committed to women’s rights, nor do
they understand what the women are talking about.”

Muskie aecused Nixon of not only opposing any action to further
the cause of women’s rights, such as his opposition to the comprehen-
sive day care bill, but of refusing to propose any bills himself: “Eight
years after John Kennedy appointed the first presidential commission
on the status of. women, Richard Nixon said that the Democrats had
not moved fast enough or far enough on women’s rights, The
President was right—we had not moved fast enough. So Nixon
appointed another task force which reported its findings in 1970. The
report was printed and the president has ignored virtually all of their
recommendations. Let me say to you that what we are discussing is
not some female fad. It is a fundamental of the American assumption
of equality among all those privileged to live and enjoy citizenship in
this country.” Muskie went on to say that the anwer to sex
discrimination is not more task forces and study commissions, since
“if we do not know by now what must be done, we never will.”
Instead, Muskie proposes that women be guaranteed admission to
publicly supported higher education under the same standards as men,
and that “we must broaden the coverage of the equal pay'and equal
employment acts to cover every job in government and in the private
sector.” He urges that the Congress not delay beyond this spring
approval of the equal rights amendment of the Constitution: “That
would be the singlemost vital victory to the cause of women’s rights.”

After sixty minutes of championing the cause of women’s rights, the
Senator tarnished his image as a crusader for women. When asked how
his wife obtained her rights as an equal in their household, he replied,
“By giving me a baby son.””

Student Ordered To Remove
Waterbed That Is “Too Heavy”

Senior Robert McCabe's water-
bed is only half-filled and has
double linings. Nevertheless, his
Quad Coordinator has ordered
him to remove it from his room in
Cayuga Hall.

The Quad Coordinator report-
edly told McCabe that his bed is
too heavy, and he cited the figure
of forty-five pounds per square
foot as the maximum floor load in
the residence halls. McCabe claims
that with his bed only half-filled,
it weighs only thirty-two pounds
per square foot and that he
should, consequently, be allowed
to keep it.

McCabe alleges that a typical
Dean’s desk exerts a force of at
least one hundred pounds per
square foot. Although McCabe is
not a physics major, he concludes
that a Dean’s desk is more struc-
turally harmful to a building than
is his water bed.

Another reason given for the
removal of his water bed is the
danger of leakage and the result-
ing water damage. McCabe claims,
however, that his waterbed is
guaranteed for five years, and that
it has a double lining which makes
it nearly foolproof.

Even though he is slated to
appear before the Judicial Board,
McCabe still refuses to move his
waterbed. He says that when he
signed his housing contract there

was no regulation against such
beds. Furthermore, he is “chal-
lenging any Dean to stand trial
with me,” since a Dean’s desk
allegedly weighs more than his
waterbed. What bothers McCabe
most about his situation is that a
note will appear in his transcript
folder reporting that disciplinary
action was taken against him, but
not specifying why this disci-
plinary action was taken. McCabe
will be applying to graduate
schools next semester.

McCabe says that he enjoys his
waterbed, and he comments that
sleeping on one “tis just like float-
ing.” Indeed, McCabe is so de-
voted to his waterbed that he is
risking rejection by graduate
schools in order to keep it.

University Library
Hard Hit by Freeze

by Roy Lewis

The’ ramifications of the state-wide budget freeze
have been felt severely by all departments of the
university community. One of the hardest hit areas
has been the University Library. In an interview
with John Ashton, Director of the Library, this
reporter learned some of the unique proklems facing
the Library this year.

In light of the budget freeze and the subsequent
forced savings program imposed upon this institu-
tion, the Library has no free funds this year with
which to launch any new buying programs. As
Ashton explained, under a forced savings system,
libraries in general are always hard hit since those
funds allocated for the purpose of buying new
books are viewed as “excess” by the state and are
hence consumed. Since the Library must wait for
the books to be published before they spend their
appropriation, they find themselves in a very vul-
nurable position.

In other respects, the Library is attempting to
function normally. For example, the Library has
retained all journal subscriptions for this year in
order to reserve continuity with previous purchases.
As Ashton pointed out, the Library would prefer to
have complete sets of magazines and not suspend
any existing subscriptions. In addition, our blanket
or approval order has been maintained on a par basis
with last year with only a 6% increase to compen-
sate for a rise in costs. This blanket order is a
standing order, whereby all books printed in English
in- the United States which demonstrate some
positive interest for the University Community are
automatically purchased and received by the Uni-
versity Library. Ashton feels that ‘we shall not be
able to maintain our blanket order unless more
forced savings are imposed upon us.”

‘The budget freeze has left the Library without the
proper funds to buy a sufficient number of copies
for the reserve room reading shelves. But more
important, the freeze has cteated serious staffing
problems. To date, the Library has been unable to
refill any job vacancies that occur and furthermore,
any replacement for a student salaried by temporary
funds must be approved by the Director of the
Budget. Ashton said that nowhere is this man-power
shortage more acutely felt than behind the circula-
tion desk. At present, that staff is operating at only
40%, of its full capacity and at the same time must
accommadate a 60% increase in the general use of
the library facilities. This incongruity has led to an
eight-day backup in the reshelving of returned
books. The help shortage behind the desk has
slowed up the check-out of books as well. Ashton
pointed out that the computer system, employed by
the Library last year, did not work out favorably
and hence a return to a manual system this year was
affected. This manual system, Ashton noted, is
transitory. Ashton hopes to place the Library on a
more responsive computer system, once the funds
are made available. Yet in any event, this manual
system, coupled with a skeleton labor force, has
taxed the efficiency of the library operation.

Once funding problems are resolved, the Library
hopes to expand over the next several years, in a
series of stages. Ashton feels that the present
facilities can accommodate the university com-
munity for the next five years. Inté¥fial reorganiza-
tion, he feels, whereby shelving and seating space is
revamped, will temporily solve space problems.

Library Director John Ashton has reported that the recent budget freeze has necessitated deep

Board Hike Plans Dropped

continued from page I

“I’m getting fed up with not
owing what’s happening at
these meetings until they start,”
one student observed, adding that
Cooley had been given a month to
prepare the information. Another
countered Hartley’s argument by
contending that “We could have
taken action if we had been given
the information and knew what
was going on.””

The exchange grew heated at
times, as arguments ensued over
each of the proposals and then,
whether anything ought to be
done at all’ because of the lack of
information.

Proposals on the floor included:

—Accepting Cooley’s sugges-
tions.

—Recessing the meeting to
study them more fully.

— Accepting some and rejectin
others. .

—Bringing in “outside ac-
countants.”

—Sending management back
“to do their homework again.”

Benezet was in the unfortunate
position of having to mediate the
disputes.

THE DEBATE
After much debate, it was de-
cided to vote and a new problem
came to the surface: Should the
membership vote, or should only

the Directors cast ballots? This
issue split the students themselves
with Lampert arguing that under
the by-laws only the directors
have power to make policy de-
cisions and undergraduates who
are not directors claiming that
they would be “disenfranchised”
and “the spirit of the actions of
the last meeting would be vio-
lated.”

Benezet ruled in favor of Lam-
pert (who found himself on the
same side as the administrators on
this particular issue), and the
Directors, with the Membership
Board entering the discussion but
not voting, decided to:

—Close the Colonial Quad cash
line so more business would be
forced upon the Campus Center
operations which, Cooley felt, will
enable the Campus Center to
make a profit, (it lost $222,000
last year).

—Close the Brubacher Snack
Bar and replace it with a vending
operation, so undergraduate stu-
dents wouldno longer be forced to
underwrite the operations’ steady
losses.

—Continue Special Functions
which, Cooley claims, runs in the
black but which some under-
graduates say loses money. (The
students point to a 1968 State of
New York audit as evidence; it

infers that the opposite of
Cooley’s contentions.)

The other proposals were sent
back for further study; a com-
mittee composed of John Hartley
(administration), Dr. Walter Balk
(faculty) and Carol Hughes (stu-
dent) will examine them more
closely and come back to the
membership and directors with
more information and suggestions.
‘The combined meeting will take
place December 15 at 3:00 and
everyone in the university com-
munity can attend, The main
discussion will deal with the
much-disputed Campus Center
food operation which, oddly, was
supposed to be the main subject
of Monday afternoon’s meeting.

Help Children

Recently, a group of faculty
and graduate level students a-
greed to work. with the Upstate
Community Service Bureau, an
arm of the State Division For
Youth, in an attempt to find
suitable foster homes for ado-
lescent boys and girls, Joseph
Garbin, a graduate student at
the School of Social Welfare,
says that many of these boys
and girls had to be placed in
training schools because they
had extremely poor family situ-
ations, Most of these children
are between the ages of 11
and 16, and about 35% are
black or Puerto Rican, Garbin
feels that a University as large
as SUNYA should be able to
provide many interested and
dedicated familes who will be
able to help. More specific in-
formation can be obtained by
calling the Social Services Stud-
y Unit of the School of Social

Black Panther Party chairman
Bobby Seale told an audience
at Stanford University last
week that the panther Party is
dropping its “para-military ti-

stead on providing free medical

Seale said the Panthers were
not calling on people to pick
up guns; he said party mem-
bers are being asked to point
out the oppressiveness of the
American system to the people
through genuine service pro-
jects. He added that the call to

guns was being advocated by
those he called “a few defect-
or” — a reference to Eldridge

Cleaver who heads up the more
militant international faction of
the Panther Party.

Seale insisted that the Black

Dope Is Death

NEW YORK (LNS) —- For 17 months after he went underground in April 1970, very little was
heard from H, Rap Brown, former chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
(SNCC) except for his place of honor of the FBI’s expanded most-wanted list. There were a few
messages printed in the SNCC paper or other black papers, to the effect that he was alive and
well, Then on October 15, four black men were busted while they were trying to hold up
Manhattan’s Red Carpet Lounge, a dark little bar down some steps on 85th Street, in a
predominately black and Puerto Rican neighborhood,, Shiny Cadillacs often line the bar’s front
curb and there is a rumor floating around that it is a drug drop for the kids at Brandeis High
School across the street, A few hours after they were in custody, the cops claimed they had H.
Rap Brown in their hands,

For quite a while the man in the Bellevue hospital prison bed, who was shot twice in the
stomach, claimed he was ‘Roy Williams.” It wasn’t until over a month later that supporters of
the man who was awaiting another operation to repair his gunshot wounds publicly announced
that he was H. Rap Brown.

At the same press conference where these supporters identified Rap Brown, the formation of
the H, Rap Brown Anti-Dope Movement was announced, Nov, 24, The Movement was sponsored
by a coalition of groups represented by former Georgia representative Julian Bond; Fred Meely
of the Nat’l Congress; Mrs. Rosa Hamilton of the New York City-wide Welfare Rights
organization; Rev, Alfred Sharpton of the National Youth Movement, Mamu Amiri Baraka (Leroi
Jones) of the Committee for a United Newark; and Popi Sharp of the Black Peoples’ Unity
Movement of Camden, NJ.

The movement plans to be .a nation-wide coordinating group whose “primary goal is the
elimination of dope from the black community by waging an aggressive campaign against dope,
dope pushers and dope suppliers.”

Black communities have made many attempts to stop the flow of dope from reaching our
stoops our hallways and our schools, We have also tried to rid ourselves of those whose sole
function is the destruction of our families by selling dope...

“There have been numerous incidents of mothers, fathers, friends and relatives who have taken
it upon themselves to drive pushers and their so-called “legitimate” fronts such as bars,
restaurants, candy and “variety” stores, florist shops, laundries and cleaning establishments out of
the black area, Because they have been alone in this struggle, the impact of their work has had
a limited effect,

“We ask the aid and assistance of all sectors of the black community-- students, street blocks,
artists, anti-poverty organizations, housewives and radio and TV personnel to contact the H, Rap
Brown Anti-Dope Movement, 346 W, 20th Street, New York, New York 10011.”

When questioned by reporters, Bond (as acting spokesman for the group) said that the
anti-dope movement “would not only have its own surveillance, but its own tribunal and its own
punishment,”

He said that the purpose of the Anti-Dope Movement was to “eliminate people dealing in
dope.” When questioned further, Bond said they would first use “moral persuasion” and if that
didn’t work, “more forceful deliberate means.”

And the Red Carpet Lounge? “I’m not willing to say anything about the Red Carpet Lounge,”
said Bond drily. “Or any candy store, lounge, bar, laundry or cleaning establishment, The black
community knows which places are well-known drop-off places for dope.”

Community

Service: Yes

Dear Sir:

I read with interest the recent
editorial about the Community
Service program at SUNYA.
Naturally, I can only respond with
authority about the program as it
functions here at Albany Medical
Center Hospital. Far from ‘‘baby-
sitting” out in the community,
the students assigned to us are
placed in areas where they are
expected to contribute. During
the three semesters we have had
students — 35, then 86, and now
71 young men and women — there
have, of course, been situations in
which a part of the volunteer job
has been filing, answering the
phone, or lab glassware washing.
Even these, however, have been
much needed by our hospital,
which like all others, does not
have unlimited funds to hire all
the personnel we need. Also, these
chores do afford the student a
chance to see how a hospital
functions.

For most of our students, their
assignments are in their field of
interest, and we try our best to
give them a real learning situation.
Chemistry and biology majors
often work in laboratories learn-
ing how these disciplines are
brought to bear on patient ill-
nesses and malfunctionings. Soci-
ology and psychology majors
work with patients directly —
children, the aged, emotionally

disturbed, ete. Most of our
Community Service students are
pre-meds, and many have given
their sympathy, understanding
and intelligence to handling all
kinds of situations in the Emer-
gency Room. Over a year and a
half period, the E. R. has been
“life as it is” for some 50 stu-
dents.

By their own observations, the
students have verbalized that their
work at Albany Medical Center
Hospital “the most relevant
thing,” “the best learning exper-
ience,” “what has finally moti-
vated me,” “away from books and
theory — part of the world.”

We see the program as extending
the academic curriculm — helping
to put flesh on the skeleton. We
expect the SUNYA students to be
serious in their work, mature,
responsible, and intelligent. They
have not fallen below our expec-
tations.

Speaking for our hospital, I can
say the Community Service pro-
gram has been mutually beneficial
and illuminating.

Very truly yours,
Mrs, Dorothy P. Gallagher
Director of Volunteers

Although anonymous letters
normally warrant no reply, the
unfounded allegations concerning

graduate instruction at the ex-
pense of undergraduate students
(“Russian Revelation,” ASP, Nov.
19, 1971, p. 6) deserve correction.

During my first six weeks at
SUNYA, the Slavic Department

reappraised its Russian under-
graduate course offerings and has
submitted extensive program re-
visions to the Curriculum Com-
mittee. An examination of the
revisions would reveal:

1. Next year there will be 28
Russian undergraduate courses
offered by the Department in-
stead of the 18 listed in the 1971-72
Undergraduate Bulletin.

2. Students enrolled in the re-
vised initial two-year sequence of
101, 102, 201, 202 at five credits
per course will attain the same
level of proficiency at the end of
three semesters as they currently
achieve at the end of four, (The
new four-course sequence will re-
quire almost 50 percent more
instructor time than the old.)

3. The number of classes offered
next year on the undergraduate
level will remain approximately
the same as this year (I7 per
semester), while graduate course
offerings will be reduced by half.
(from 10 per semester to 5).

4. I personally intend to set up
the curriculum for the Elementary
Russian course (Rus 101) next Fall
and will participate in the teach-
ing of all sections.

In view of the above facts, each
reader can decide for himself
whether or not I am committed to

the improvement of Russian
undergraduate education at
SUNYA.

editorial comment

Endangered Species

This newspaper has long been in the forefront of
demands for more communication at large, impersonal
Albany State. Yet, one of the frustrating things about
such a stand is the apathy which greets it. Try to
start any movement away from the status quo and
you'll see what we mean: nobody listens, nobody
cares.

Another major complaint is that in this university,
no one seems to be willing to take on responsibility.
This also frustrates communication, and leads directly
to the kinds of apathy we’ve been talking about.

If you’re one of those people concerned with com-
munication, or if you’ve a problem that seems to
have been “buckpassed” through the normal channels,
we’ve got the place for you, and you'll be doing a
favor to the community as a whole by just showing
up. About once a month, President Benezet moder-
ates a University Forum, to which everyone is in-
vited, to talk over problems, new developments, and
recently, the budget crisis.

It strikes us as strange, with all the demand for o-
pen communication and more access to those in pow-
er, that the past Forums were so poorly attended, In-
deed they have become an “endangered species” in
their quiet failure, when the series could contribute
so much to the community understanding of the
operation of the university.

This coming Wednesday, for example, the much-
discussed Environmental Studies program, hard hit by
the budget crunch, will be examined. This program
had the wide support of the student body, yet how
many students will show?

Is the most common shared feeling of mankind that
of selfishness? It seems to us that people at this uni-
versity are always ready to complain, except when
someone points out the proper avenue for complaint.
We scream about a problem, then shut off a reply
with “I’m too busy right now to do that.” Those
who are too busy with themselves to find solutions
deserve problems.

So if you’ve been one of the many with time to
complain but no time to work on answers, try a lit-
tle positivism for a change. You can begin it
today.....or at least next Wednesday.

Frost Wrong

To The Editor,
In the ASP of Friday, Nov. 19,
1971 there was an opinion ex-
pressed: by Michell Frost. We feel
compelled to respond to that
opinion. As members of the
Sweetfire staff we are very sensi-
tive to the tendency of certain
people to attribute Sweetfire to
dack Schwartz and Jack Schwartz
only. Jack is a member of our
staff but definitely not the only
member. It is not Jack’s paper.

Mr. Frost talks about anti-
intellectualism in the new left. To
support his statement he uses a lot
of generalities such as the left
wants to politicize the university.
The ‘university is and always has
been political. The university has
always been a research center for
government (most often defense)
funded research. Universities also
have a purpose to help prepare
youngsters for a profession or
fitting them in jobs. It is poli-
tically, at least has a tendency of
being supportive of the govern-
ment. The university also provides
political ‘advisors such as Henry
Kissenger. It is a mistake to say
the left is trying to politicize the
university — it is already political,
we just want to change the direct-
ion,

Mr.. Frost doesn’t even mention

the theme of Jack’s’ i the,

eople
most anti-intellectiat® I
we wish to say even though we are
on the Sweetfire staff it doesn’t
mean the ASP isn’t our paper.
Mitch wants to take that away
from us.

Opinionaire

To the Editor:

I have been informed that my
students are to be given a
form to fill out. The purpose,
as I understand it, is to elicit
their opinions about. my teach»
ing, Tt’s important, I think,
that such opinions be sought
and elicited in some reasoned
and reasonable fashion,

But if the form is similar to
those that I’ve seen, it is a du-
bious instrument, It is based
upon no ascertainable theory of

teaching, but on some stereo-
type of what someone else
thinks teaching ought to be

like,

Ordinary academic freedom, I
would assume, implies the free-
dom to hold partucular assump-
tions of teaching and to teach
and. to elicit opinion about
teaching in a manner consistent
with those assumption, In my
opinion such freedom is at
least as vital as the freedom to
hold particular assumptions
about methods for inquiring in-

blems associated with the

Wouldnt it be easier if you

feel it wouldn’t work for a

In regards to the problem of

To The University Community,

As you probably all remember,
there was a dinner fast on Nov. 10.
We received a check for $1750
from FSA on Friday, Nov. 19.
This is absolutely unbelieveable,
exceeding any expectations we all
had. The money will go to the
free breakfast and lunch program
and day care for the children cf
the north ghetto here in Albany as
planned. We -can’t thank you all
enough — everyone who gave up
his dinner or donated money to
the center. Special thanks, also, to
everyone who worked with us on
the fast.

If you would like any other
information on Peter Jones and
his work in the community, or
would like to come down to meet
some really neat little people,
please get in touch with us.
‘Thanks so much again.

On Grokking Matakos

by Vicki Gekas

Andre Malraux, in one of the
major literary oeuvres of our
times LE MUSEE IMAGI-
NAIRE— defines the modern
artist as he who is no longer in
harmony with his milieu and the
external “reality” around him. His
art is in revolt, refusing to ornate
simply or to exalt a civilization
whose: values he sees as hollow.
Man’s only worth therefore is in
his faculty to create an inner
world and an artist is he who
successfully transfers this inner
reality on canvas. His artistic
fecundity is the result of this
awareness of his inner world but
also of the frightning solitude of
the pain that accompanies it. The
“artiste maudit” has no longer
any higher values with which to
identify but those he creates him-
self. In the final end that world —
the world of art — will have more
reality for him than the “ex-
ternal” one, and it will have more
beauty as well; for, as Mallarme
put it: “a flower described is more
beautiful than a real flower.”

Modern man in his frantic grasp
for a value higher and outside of
his inner self certainly can find no
“answers” in modern art as de-
fined above. Yet, the Marxists and
the Sartrian “Marxists” insist that
man may have lost all absolutes,
but he must still believe in “Man”
— not the individual, inner, un-
stable self but the “social self.
Man’s value lies in his altruistic
and not in his individualistically-
motivated creative force.

After this lengthy introduction,
Mr. Matakos’ work should define
itself easily in relation to the
above theories. One finds it ex-
tremely comforting to discover an
artist who is also a man who has

ASTERIOS MATAKOS

The Matakos Exhibit was Nov, 20-4 in the Patroon Lounge
and was sponsored by the Modern Greek Studies Association,

no conflict — or rather who has
resolved the conflict — between
his inner self and his social self;
individualism and altruism; life
and art. Matakos has a personal
vision which lacks the furor of the
modern artist. Matakos lives in
harmony with Man and with what
he has created so far. He carries in
him a tradition — that of Classical,
Byzantine, and modern Greece —
which he does not try to “‘strang-
ulate” through his medium.

iVaya! Ha Bailar

Coming to SUNY Albany this weekend of Dec. 4 is a Latin
happening as the dynamic combination of Willie “Wolfgang”
Ramirez, our own Latin WSUA annoucer and trumpeter in the
to-be-performing Paul Ortiz Orchestra, the University Concert
Board and P.R.O.L.E. are sponsoring a series of star-studded
Latin reviews to be held nightly in the Campus Center Ball-
room, To be offered by our “Across-the- border” brothers and
sisters will be entertainment for all tastes ranging from Puerto
Rican folk-singing and dancing and political rapping to Latin-
Soul combo sets, Fun-loving brothers and sisters of all worlds
me and check out this cultural happening as it
should surely noke,”

Kicking off this dynamite weekend on Friday night at 8:30
P.M, at the C.C. Ballroom is “La Protesta.” featuring trumpeter-
er Tony Pabon on Rico Records (sponsored by Concert
Board and Willie Ramirez), This hot ten-piece Latin combo, be-
ing composed of the former members of two other great Latin
groups, the Ricardo Ray and Pete Rodriguez Orchestras, won
first prize in Panama for the best Carnival band, won the Latin-
American “Diplo Award” and won a Gold record for their hit
“Bandera,” a revolutionary song, Then on Saturday night, the
sounds of “Paul Ortiz and Orchestra Son” (Orchestra Soul) fea-
turing Willie Ramirez himself and leader-pianist-vocalist, Paul
Ortiz,

This band, while new, is also composed of members who have
played with top Latin bands “before coming home to roost.”
The band has already produced a fruitful LP just recently re-
leased on Ghetto Records, the title being “Son Los Que Son”
and including a hit single played often on WSUA radio, “Tender
Love.” This evening event will follow an afternoon of political
rapping by Carlos Feliciano, “independentista,” revolutionary so-
cialist and recently released political prisoner, who will be fea-
tured at 3 P.M. in L.C. 18 this same Saturday for no charge.
Wrapping things up on Sunday afternoon at 1 P.M, in the C.C.
“Cave” will be a Puerto Rican folk review known as “Puerto
Rico Sings,” doing much lyrical “Island” singing and dancing.
Both of these last two weekend events will be sponsored by
P.R.O.LE. by Bruce Bain

SUPERMAN 247

“MUST THERE BE A SUPERMAN?,” the
cover-featured lead story, is the type of Super-
man tale DC should have been turning out
years ago, Thank God Elliot Maggin and, in the
second story, Denny O’Neil are doing it now.
In the abovementioned lead feature, the Guar-
dians of the Universe, Green Lantern’s superiors,
try to make the Man of Steel realize the fact
that, by helping earth, he’s, in a sense, hin-
dering them, as the Terrans won't do things for
themselves. Of course, when Superman does try

arr:

to aid some people in distress, he discovers
that; for the most part, these people could
have helped themselves, but would rather have

had a superman do it for them,

The premise of the story, then, while totally
and extremely engrossing in presentation, is,
however, not entirely logical, That is, the Guar-
dians look at Superman as an outsider... an
alien, Maybe so, but since Superman’s adopted
planet (FROM CHILDHOOD) is earth, it is log-
ical for him to channel all his efforts into
aiding his “fellow” earthmen, just as, say, an
American doctor would, in a foreign country,

cure a sickly child, The circumstance of the The second story, also by the same artists,

And after a while, I swear I
could even hear Led Zeppelin V
rising up out of my primal sub-

capture those sounds and pull a
real coup for the ASP by re-
viewing an album that hasn’t even

rudely brought down. “Who da

“When on
“THE PRIVATE
LIFE OF CLARK KENT,” The story had its
moments (Superman trying some tobacco), but

That is, if earth is imperiled in the Fantastic
Four strip, then Thor, Iron Man, and the rest
of the Marvel heroes will die along with Reed,
Sue, Johnny, and Ben. Keeping in mind this
idea of interaction between characters of dif
ferent magazines, Roy Thomas, along with Gil
Kane, use MARVEL PREMIERE as a_ vehicle
for showcasing the Warlock, better know as
Him of FANTASTIC FOUR numbers 66
through 67, The other half of the so-called
“character interaction” is old Thor/Hulk guest
star, the High Evolutionary,

In this issue’s “AND MEN SHALL CALL HIM
..WARLOCK!,” Thomas and Kane weave an in-

teresting tale of how these two characters meet
and, in doing so, set the premise for future
strips, Gil Kane clearly put a little bit more
than his minimum effort into “WARLOCK.”
His fine layouts, better-than-average camera
angles, and proficiency of execution all sreatly
enhance the plot, not to mention the added

plus of Dan Adkin’s concise inkings,
Unfortunately, Thomas chose to tamper with
formerly-resolved elements of the High Evolu-
tionary-Hulk story, rather poorly, I might add,
Looks like Roy wasn’t satisfied with the con-
clusion of ASTONISH 96 and sort of contrived
a way of bringing the High Evolutionary, along
with his New Men, back in his old outfit

THE ASP SPORTS

Hoopsters Open Season With Loss

by Bill Heller

The Albany basketball season
kicked off on a sour note
Wednesday night, as Williams
held on to a lead they had
sustained the entire game to
defeat the Danes, The differen-
ces between a tough loss and a
good win become evident upon
examination of the statistics.
Williams outshot Albany from
the field, and foulline, and outre-
bounded the Danes. Despite the
stats, the game was almost
pulled out by a determined Al-
bany team, but the time just
ran out.

Williams took an early 8
point lead and held it for
three-fourths of the first half,
threatening to bust it wide

open. In doing this, they relied
on inside shooting, good re-
bounding and alternating de-
fenses that bottled up the
Danes. ‘To solve his board
problems, coach Sauers substitu-
ted Bob Curtiss, Curtiss played
aggressively at both ends and
gave Albany offensive rebound-
ing, which helped keep the def-
icit under 10 points.

With Curtiss doing the job in-
side, and John Quattrocchi and

Byron Miller hitting from the
outside, the score closed to
34-30 just before the half, The
Danes then gave a perfect ex-
ample of how to hold for the
last shot, as reserve guard Bob
Rosse canned a jumper with 2

seconds left, to close the gap
to 2.

The second half started out
fairly even, but Williams re-
gained the lead 45-38 by domi-
nating the offensive boards.
The culprit was center Les
Ellison, as he came alive for

Williams with 8 quick points,
and helped provide his team-
mates with 2 or 3 shots at the
basket at a time, At the other
end of the court, Albany was
getting just one shot, and
things began to look dim, as
Williams upped it to 63-52
with 7:15 to go in the game.

But then Sauers made-a key
move, He brought back Dave
Welchons (who had 4 fouls),

Byron Miller (who had grown

cold), and Curtiss, ‘All three
contributed, but the big man
was Quattrocchi, “Troch” hit

several important jumpers, and
with 8:50 left, the score was
66-62.

Two baskets were exchanged,
and the Danes found them-
selves with the ball, trailing
70-66 with 1:38 to go, They
hurried downcourt, shot,
missed, but with inspirational
rebounding, managed 5 or 6 at-
tempts at the hoop to no a-
vail, Kenny Bate made a free
throw for Williams with 30 sec-
onds left, to make it 71-66.
Miller came right back for the
Danes, hitting a jumper ten
seconds later, The clincher
came on the inbound play, as
Bate dribbled the length of the
court (through a fierce Albany
press) and neatly passed off to
a wide open Small for an easy
lay-up to make it 73-68.

‘A disappointing loss, but for
the Danes, Quattrocchi hit for
18 and made some excellent
passes as he played floor gener-
al for the Albany. attack,
Byron Miller displayed a fine
soft touch in tying for game
honors with 19, Also on the
positive side was Curtiss’s all-
around performance

center Rick Lawless. The next

There are so many rules. It seems that the rulemakers are enamored
with just imposing rules on people.

Superficially, the spectator code seems mild enough, but enforce-

2, Unsportsmanlike behavior,
such as booing, should be
discouraged,

3. Silence should be main-
tained during all free throw
attempts,

4, The use of noise makers
that interfere with the proper

game administration should
be barred,
5. Enthusiastic cheering
should be encouraged as a
traditional part of college
basketball,

The wish here is that the spec-
tator code be quickly and quietly
forgotten, and crowds be left to
their own judgement concerning
their conduct, and left alone to
enjoy themselves.

“can afford

to ski the Alps

Please don’t blame it all on us. But after February 1,
anybody of any age can fly to the Alps for almost youth fare
ices.
z What used to cost them $480, will cost $250. Which
means a lot of people that wouldn't think of coming over,
are going to be coming over. But they won't be coming
until February, and until they arrive, there's plenty of seats
on the planes, plenty of room on the lifts, plenty of beds in
the hotels and plenty of young Europeans on the slopes.

From $250 Swissair will fly you to Zurich or Geneva, the
closest you can get to the Swiss, French, Iealian or Austrian
Alps without actually landing on one.

We want you to take your January vacation in resorts like
Andermatt, Davos, St. Moritz, Chamonix, Zermatt...
Everyday we'll be bringing in students from all over the U.S.
for one last Alpine blast.

Besides the skiing there's skating, riding, sunning,
snowmobiling, climbing, tobogganing, dancing, swimming,
even gambling. All with people your own age, if not your
own country. (An American is as exciting to the Swiss,
French, and Italians as they are to you.)

If you'd like to be part of all this, write Swissair for more
information and write dad for $250.

Recycling:
Means

The constant increase in per
capita generation of solid
waste, stimulated by production
growth and coupled with a ra-
pidly increasing population con-
centrated in urban areas, is res-
ponsible for the nation’s pres-
ent environmental crisis. _In-
creased demand and the in-
creased production to meet it
are the basic causes of in-
creased pollution, This is con-
firmed by the fact that the
real output of goods and ser-
vices in the U.S.‘ las grown as
much since 1950 as it grew in

the entire period from the
landing of the Pilgrims up to
1950.

1980, which can easily be
translated into more junk cars,
cans, bottles, plastics, fly ash,
and paper products. If the
present production of solid
waste is not managed, what of
the future?

Solid waste falls into three
major source categories, The
first is urban refuse, which in-
cludes domestic, commercial,
municipal, and industrial waste
products; the second category
contains the. mineral waste
which results from mining and
mineral processing operations;
and the last, agricultural waste,
includes farming, animal, and
crop waste,

breakdown of ur-
refuse shows that the na-
tion generates about 400 mil-
lion tons each year. This in-
cludes 60 billion cans, 36 bil-

‘million tons of plastics, over 1.
million abandoned automobiles,
mountains of demolition debris,
180 million tires, and countless
millions of tons of refrigerators,

tems. The cost to collect and

manner, and the other half is
buried in landfills and dumps,

The second category, mineral

duction of 1 ton of copper re-
sults in about 500 tons of

ally, a past accumulation of a-

waste, is even more awesome -
over 2. billion tons annually -

HUMAN WASTE

Furthermore, over 100 Ib of
solid waste daily is generated
for every man, woman, and
child in the country. By 1980,
this is expected to increase to
150 Ib per day.

The importance of secondary

only growing metal resource -
can best be assessed by com-

The Odyssey
of a Vietnam Vet

by Al Senia

The red hair rests carelessly on
his shoulders, The beard is full.
The tie-dyed shirt, bell bottoms
and bare feet could belong to any
street person.

But Ron Podlaski, 25, is not just
anyone. For two years ago, Ron
was a Sergeant in the U.S. Green
Berets. And now, after a painful
radicalization, he is a regional
co-ordinator for “Vietnam Vete-
rans Against the War.”

“I went into the army to be
important,” he explains. “I was
like Norman Nobody. Well, I had to
be somebody. I had to stand
out...I wanted to go see what it
was all about, win some medals,
and look good.”

‘So Ron went down to his draft
board, enlisted, volunteered for
the U.S. Special Forces and ducy
in Southeast Asia, and braved the
rigors of basic training. Unfor-
tunately, he possessed a police
record, a fact his superiors over-
looked until the last moment.
Upon completing his training,
they denied him clearance because
he was thought to be a security
risk,

Ron Podlaski is not one to be
easily outdone. He wrote to Con-
Bressmen; badgered his superiors,
“I’m not going to spend the rest
of my days in the Special Forces
Picking up pine conegat Fort
Bragg,” he told them. Under the
Pressure, the army relented.

Immediately, he volunteered for
duty in a special operations group
assigned the task of crossing the
Laotian border and conducting
hit-and-run aids, ambushes and
Spying operations on suspected
North Vietnamese base camps.
This, back in 1968, when the
Pentagon was still insisting that
U.S. troops were observing Laos’
Status as a neutral country.

To his lasting amazement, Ron
teceived top secruity clearance in
tecord time. It took only twenty-
four hours. “That's why I don’t
mind telling you this stuff,” he

says, the usually sullen face break-
ing out into a boyish grin. “I
figure if they were stupid enough
to give top security clearance in
only twenty-four hours to some-
one like me with a police record,
they deserve any of the conse-
quences.”

For the next ten months, until
early 1969, he served in the Lao-
tian countryside with a six man
team. out of radio contact for long
periods and surrounded by North
Vietnamese. “We planted sensory
devices...it was an intelligence
thing.” It was also. the first time
Podlaski was to be confronted
with death, “I was scared, really
scared. It wasn’t just being afraid
of dying. But I realized I had
never really lived...Combat didn’t
prove you were a man.,..The real
thing, the reality of it, was that
when I died, I had to look back
and see if I had ever lived.”

This realization, placed against
the context of what was happen-
ing in Southeast Asia, proved to
be the first crack in a previously
solid middle-class consciousness.

All in all, Ron Podlaski did not
like what he saw. He did not take
part in some of the sensational
atrocities others had committed
(‘We were too busy for that sort
of stuff”), but his testimony at
last summer’s Winter Soldiers In-
vestigation in Garden City, Long
Isalnd concerning the mutilated
bodies, burned villages and mur-
dered prisoners that he saw as a
common sight mirrored his moral
disenchantment. It is a memory
he prefers not to dwell on. He
offers, instead, a casual dismissal:
“It was the whole ‘gook-thing’
you've heard so much about.””

After serving the ten months, he
took a rest-and-recreation leave in
Australia and, in effect, went
A.W.O.L., refusing to follow any
additional’ orders. His superiors
pretended not to notice because
he had served four months be-
yond the average and, in Ron’s
words, “they figured it got to
me.”

It was a summary more
prophetic than anyone in the
Green Berets would probably care
to believe. He came home to
Albertson, Long Island troubled,
disillusioned, and with his con-
sciousness unalterably changed.

“I was on a hate trip in Vietnam
for ten months. I learned to hate
Vietnamese. Then I came back
here trying to love everybody and
I fucking can’t do it...I can’t relate
to this scummy society we live in,
to the whole profit motive
thing...”

“I’m totally, totally living in the

wrong country. I can’t relate to

the people or the culture. I can’t
see loving material things that
can’t love you back.”

Upon his return, he was arrested
(for, of all things, driving with a
faulty muffler) and his court
appearance provided a further
spark, “I couldn’t relate to having
a loud muffler when I had just
killed people (in Nam). I keep
trying to tell them that.”

Now, Ron concentrates all of his
energies into stopping a war in
which he volunteered to seive. He
hasn’t had a regular job in two
years (“I don’t feel comfortable
with more than forty cents in my
pocket”) and hopes to obtain a
pension from the government on
mental grounds.

“The guy I lived with said to
me: ‘In all honesty, you’re wac-
ky.’ And I am. I’m crazy. So if I
can convince the government to
give me some money, what the
hell, I'll take it.”

What remains now for Ron Pod-
laski, ex-Green Beret, is an altered
reality and an almost general crav-
ing’ to find some peace of mind.
The combat medals (Vietnam
Campaign: and Service Medals;
National Defense Medal; Bronze
Star) were tossed away in Wash-
ington last spring during the na-
tional veterans protest. They have
been replaced, it seems, by a
feeling of alienation. Perhaps his
work co-ordinating peace mar-
ches, performing street theatre
and working in poor black neigh-
borhoods will restore some bal-
ance. But it seems unlikely. Be-
hind his words lurks a wisdom that
is unnerving to find in someone so
young.

He speaks with harshness of the
peace movement: “The peace
movement is the largest threat to
keeping the war going. It’s set up
just like’ the government with
leaders who are egotistical bas-
tards; who don’t relate to their
people. Just like our president.” A

‘ang i

pause. “There are too many per-
sonal hang-ups.”

Nevertheless, he is optimistic. It
is couched, but it still remains.

“If you believe in peace,” Ron
Podlaski claims, “you should find
the most meaningful thing you
can do, even if it’s an individual
thing...helping the poor is working
for peace, too,”

“Right now, young people are
nice...the junior-high school kids
are nicer. The elementary shcool
kids are even nicer. And their kids
are gonna be beautiful. And that’s
the only hope we have.”

As for himself, Ron Podlaski
still has a way to travel. One can
easily relate to his thoughts. “The
only thing we have in this world is
each other,” he observes. “We've
got to learn to recognize each
other and I’m finding that a diffi-
cult thing to do in this culture.
But I have never been happier
with myself than right now. I’m

happy just living my life the way I
want to do it.”

He has aspirations for the fu-
ture; is eager to live in the moun-

tains and get involved in a “decent
communal thing” where he can
live, relate, and grow with others.
The strain of the past few years is
showing and, in any event, Ron is
scarcely an organization man.

“I don’t like being tied down,”
he confesses. That goes for any
organization, even this One (Viet-
nam Vets).”

And now he is nearly finished.
“You now,” he says, “it’s nat
‘Vietnam that makes us commi
these war crimes. We're dehuman}
ized when we go over there...We
go there having the framework of
an animal: Vietnam just brings it
out, that’s all.”

“Most people in this country,
given the same circumstances and
excuses, would do the same
thing.”

The conclusion one draws in
clear: Ron, like many others, will
soon be leaving this society to try
to build something better.

He is silent now, fingering the
bracelet that was given to him' by
Montagnard tribesmen. A sardonic
smile crosses his lips. “Tell them
one more thing before you leave”
he says, offering an existential
summary that speaks for so many
other people’s personal experi-
ences beside his own.

“Tell them that I believe man is
just too smart for his own fucking
good.”

Job Bias Revealed:

Job Discrimination Fought

by John Fairhall
An ASP Feature

This university is energetically

seeking to hire, for the- first
time, Blacks, other minority
group members, and women.
Prompted by a federal govern-
ment study done here last
April, the university has im-
plemented an “Affirmative Ac-
tion Program” to break a pat-
tern of job discrimination

The study made by the De
partment of Health, Education,
and Welfare uncovered 24 spe-
cific instances of job discrimi-
nation, For example, as of
Fall, 1970, of 2,241 full-time
employees in all categories,
2,135 were white, Discrimina-
tion in terms of tenure, promo-
tion, and salary was also docu-
mented (as of June, 1971):

—43 percent of the faculty
has tenure; minority group fac-
ulty members, . however, com-
prise less than one percent of
the tenured faculty.

—There is only one minority
group member in a position of
assistant dean or higher.

—Women make up 18 percent
of the total faculty and are
found mainly in the lower level
positions of instructor and as-
sistant professor.

—There .is a marked pattern
of salary differentials between
men and women in nearly all
job classifications on the facul-
ty. For example, all male full

professors are higher paid than
women.

at SUNYA

The Affirmative Action Pro-
gram is intended to increase rap-

members and women employed.
(Minority members are defined
as Spanish-surnamed, American
Indian, Afro-American and
Oriental.) ‘The vice presidents
of Management and Planning,
University Affairs, and Academ-
ic Affairs oversee most of the
hiring that this university does.
They have been asked to sub-
mit their plans for hiring min-
ority members and women dur-
ing the coming five years.
These plans are the critical part
of the university’s program to
end discrimination in employ-
ment.

PLANS ANNOUNCED

John Hartley, Vice President
for Management and Planning,
has announced a policy of one-
to-one hiring of minorities, af-
fecting all of the administrative
staff, This means that for every
white (non-minority member)
hired, a minority group mem-
ber is hired.

The guidelines for the Office
of Student Affairs (the. largest
employer in the University Af
fairs division), under Dean Neil
Brown, state that no fewer
than one of every three new
and vacant positions be filled
with minority members, Addi-
tionally, one of every three
positions is to be- filled by a
woman,

Dr. Philip Sirotkin, Vice Prasi-
dent for Academic Affairs, has
stated that on the academic
side there will be-a net gain of
ten minority members and
women in the next academic
year.

(Another of university
employment is the  Faculty-
Student Association, but Direc-
tor Robert Cooley has been
unavailable for comment.)

The Affirmative Action Pro-
gram is under the direction of
Vice President Hartley, but the
program’s actual administration
is in the hands of Leon
Calhoun who is directing the
Office of Equal Employement
Opportunity, Calhoun is going
to make sure that past mis-
takes are not repeated. He will
help recruit minority members
and women as candidates for
jobs to, in his words, “counter
the excuse. that minority mem-
bers can not be found.” ‘His
office will review new job ap-
pointments made to ensure
than an honest effort is being
made to hire minority members
and women, Violations of the
program will be brought to the
attention of Hartley,

BUDGET CRISIS

The severe budget crisis we
are experiencing has hurt the
program, Lack of funds pre-
vents the creation of new posi-
tons which could be filled
easily by minority members
and women, According to
Calhoun, “Attrition represents
the only dependable action to
get minorities in,” “That means
minority members and women
will have to wait for people to
retire or transfer to another
school (or be fired).

So the introduction of more
women, Blacks, Puerto Ricans,
and others to our university
will proceed slowly. The budget
crisis explains that. But the

why the university did not act
in any recent years to break
up an obvious situation of dis-
crimination. Calhoun has seen
“no evidence of a review of
hiring practices” until now, de-
spite a policy of equal employ-
ment opportunity that sup-
posedly had been in operation.
Calhoun also believes that dou-
ble standards have been used
to exclude minority members:
“They (deans, other university
officials) have insisted on high-
ly - qualified minority members
without any consideration for
modifying the qualifications.”
In other words, it has been
easy to bend the requireme:

“Junk” Continued from page 14

Thrown away each year in city dumps is
25,000 tons of tin in tin-coated steel cans,
which is equivalent to the amount of tin sal-
vaged from all other secondary sources. These
are just a few opportunities.

The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of
Mines has always considered waste products and
scrap generated by the mineral.and metals in«
dustry and the consuming public as potential
resources, In the business of reclaiming values
from metal and mineral-based by-products for o-
ver 30 years, the bureau has been a pioneer in
the field of secondary metals recovery and solid
waste research,

Another problem to which the bureau’s Salt
Lake City, Utah, research center has been de-
voting a considerable research effort is junk
cars, Although discarded auto hulks constitute
only a small fraction of the waste disposal
problem in terms of tonnage, they are higher in
metal values than most waste materials,

‘As a result of recent research| by the bureau,
practical and economic methods have been de-

veloped for dismantling junk automobiles to
produce high-quality scrap, All components of
15 scrap automobiles procured from auto-wreck-
ing yards, scrap processors, and insurance sal-
vage firms - cars manufactured between 1954
and 1965 - were dismantled, separated into var-
ious components, and analyzed. ‘Alternative
means and methods of stripping and dismantling
the cars were employed to determine the fastest
and most practical technique. Derived from the
information obtained, a representative junk auto-
mobile weighing 3600 Ib could yield approxi-
mately 2500 Ib of steel, 500 Ib of cast iron,
32 Ib of copper, 54, Ib of zine, 51 Ib of alu-
minum, and 20 Ib of lead . Thesyemaining 400
Ib consisted of nonmetallics.

In a cooperative effort with the Wasatch
Metal and Salvage Co. (Salt Lake City, Utah),
the bureau developed, constructed, and is pre~
sently “operating a practical, smokeless junk car
incinerator. It is relatively inexpensive and can
efficiently process as many as 80 cars in an
eight-hour period. Also,
are smokeless and meet or exceed most clean
air standards,

The new incinerator’s principle attraction is its
$22,000 construction cost (roughly one-tenth
the cost of smokeless models now commercially
available) and a relatively low operating cost of
about $2 per car. The incinerator has stimulat-
ed wide. interest among scrap processors whose
open-air burning practices are being increasingly
restricted. At least nine scrap car processors are
constructing auto incinerators which are based

the combustion gases.

on the bureau design,

The .bureau has also been active in reclaiming
values from mining, metallurgical, chemical, and
industrial processing operations. This work not
only includes salvage and reuse, but also stabilie
zing nonusable -mineral waste.

West Virginia University, under a bureau grant,
developed a process producing rock wool insula~
tion from, coal ash slag, a waste product from
coalfired central power plants. Commercially
competitive structural concrete blocks also have
been fabricated from the power plant fly ash.

Processes have been developed by bureau scl
entists to convert asbestos mining waste, phos
phorus furnace slags, and mine and mill tailings
into raw materials for manufacture of wall tile
and bricks,

The bureau is working on recovering and Te
using waste materials that are being ejected in
the stack gases generated by the minerals and
metal industries during smelting and chemical
processing. Good progress is being made by re-
moving these wastematerials in a form that will
Permit their recycling and reuse,

It is not inconceivable that the present-day
mine tailing dumps, landfills, and
junk car graveyards may be looked upon in the
future as “man-made mines” for minerals whose
natural ores have been depleted. or remain in
deposits that can be mined only at greater cost
than required for recycling waste, The Bureau
of Mines considers solid waste as resources out
of place - and is simply trying to put it back
where it belongs,
