CURFEW, OPEN HOUSE BILLS PASSED
by Don Stankavage
In a special session last night, Central Council accepted LAAC’s Proposed Changes
in University Residence Policies by a vote of 24-0-2. The passage of this bill called for
abolition of Curfew Hours, discontinuance of the Mandatory Sign-Out procedure,
determination of Open House policy by the individual Hall or Hall governments, and
Closed Doors.
At this time, freshmen women still have curfew hours; next semester they will face,
if this policy does not become effective, curfews at midnight.
Even though the Mandatory Sign-Out Policy would be abolished, an optional system
could be subscribed to by any woman.
Determination of Open House Policy by the individual Hall would allow for a 24
hour open house policy, but Visitation Policy could enclose any lesser time span.
The passage of this bill through both Central Council and LAAC is the culmination
of the efforts of Central Council and LAAC member,Jay Silverman, and LAAC’s hard
working Committee on Residence Reforms. Their rationale for these proposed
Residence changes, which appears as a special ASP supplement, draws upon several

Gen. Romulo Discusses Asia ,
Clarifies Misconceptions
by Kathy. Huseman
“Asia in the American Mind”
was the topic discussed by
General Carlos P. Romulo on
Thursday, November 14, Romulo,
a scholar-in-residence about the
University System, which he
describes as a “traveling salesman
in orbit”, stressed the need to
clarify the American image of
Asians,
According to Romulo, Asia has
just come to the consciousness of
the American mind within the last
decade. Prior to this, the
European continent, and Great
Britian in particular, dominated
the American mind. Even during
World War II, the importance of
the war in the Pacific was not
realized. In an attempt to correct
this, Romulo was sent on a
speaking tour of the United States
covering 466 cities to “bring
home the Pacific war in America.”
After the second World War,
with the emergence of China as a
Communist nation rapidly
advancing in scientific knowledge,
the United States was shocked
into the realization that the Asian
culture existed and that people
were suffering from denial in the
affluent 20th Century.
The former President of the
United Nations General Assembly
said that Asia is not a totally
understood entity, but that it
must be understood by the United
States so that she cun formulate
foreign policy. Romulo feels that
the- statehood of Hawaii and
Alaska, besides the United States
involvement in Korea and the
United Nations, shows the
American determination to
remain a Pacific power.
Romulo said, “Asia means
people.” He emphasized the fact
that various groups such as
educators look at Asia in terms of
schools rather than people. The
east-west cultural exchanges, he
feels, is an “exchange between
firemen and visiting firemen.”
They never truly get to know the
people who differ from
themselves.
His addition to this definition
was “Asia is time.” Time being
defined as a movement as well as a
process with built-in decay,
resulting in age.
Some of the basic
characteristics of Asia, as
presented by Romulo, are: ‘rne
absence of the pressure of time;
the ability of Asians to live in
various centuries simultaneously
and a relatively unstructured life.
Asians recognize “the authority of
change” but are not fatalistic.
They do not fear death, further
stated Romulo, but view it as an
event which has “its place and
season.”
future is also different from the
American. For the Asian “the
future arrives in due course as all
things do.”
Americans must also recognize
that American ideas may not
represent what Asians love,
challenged Romulo.
He asked for an emphasis on
the people of Asia rather than the
Population so that Asia may be
recognized by America and the
other nations as a real part of the
world.
_INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE, General Carlos Romulo

Countries.

Responsibility, and MYSKANIA’s recommendation for abolition of freshmen women’s
On Wednesday of this week, 250 students assembled in Lecture Room 3 to view the
weekly meeting of LAAC where this bill passed 25-0-1. At this same
LAAC meeting, the “Walden Experiment,” a two week proposal by
Waterbury and Alden to operate Open House by the definition “A door
is open if it is not locked” was defeated.
The main reason voiced at the LAAC meeting for the Walden defeat
was the underlying fear that its passage might in some way inhibit
action in the faculty and administrative circles on its “Proposed
changes” listed above.
The current proposed policy
changes were felt to be more
comprehensive and far more extensive than the “Walden Experiment.”
A majority of LAAC representatives felt that the administration would
slow action on the more important “Proposed Changes” or, perhaps
even limit future changes to only the changes proposed in “Walden
Experiment.”
The basis for these residence reforms is eacn student’s personal
responsibility. Personal xesponsibility will be the key to a sufficient
security system and personal responsibility will be the key to student
conduct behind a closed door so that one student does not infringe
upon the rights of any other.
Student government leaders are hoping that the ASP Supplement will
inform students not only of the new freedoms that a reformed
residence policy can allow, but
demand of them personally.

asserted O.B. Okon, a Biafran
graduate student at the
University. He went on to say that
Biafra will never become part of
Nigeria because that would mean
death at the hands of the
Northern Nigerians.
The background of the present
crisis in Nigeria was discussed in
depth at the meeting of the
Student Faculty Committee to

Okun held that before
independence, Nigeria was
superficially kept together under
the barrels of British guns.

Mosiem, uneducated North for
the Christian, capitalistic East was
festering. There had been
massacres of Easterners living in
the North since 1948. Finally,
after numerous compromises, the
Easterners saw no other way out
than the creation of an
independent Biafra’, stated Okon.
Okun later asserted that after
World War I the world had
pledged that what had happened
in Germany| would not ever occur
again. Yet, ‘now, over four million
people have been killed in Biafra
and still the world passively
watches, claiming this to be an
internal conflict.
The major nations of the world
are dedicated to preserving the
status quo, Okun said, as is shown
when ‘the New York Times
reports things. that are polarized
180 degrees from the truth.”
When asked about what
students can do to help the
situation, the Biafran students
replied that it is imperative to put
Political pressure on whomever
they can, They were leery of
contributing to any United

Red Cross, as these groups may
aid Nigerian federalists.
In the near future, the Student
Faculty Committee to Keep

table in the Campus Center. A
student fast, in which Food
Service will send to Biafra the
money that would have been used

in December. Additionally, col-

Outstanding
Aid Program
At Wisconsin
Madison, Wis.—(I.P.)—The
University of Wisconsin program
of assistance to disadvantaged
undergraduate students on this
campus has been cited as one of
the three “most outstanding”
among public institutions of
higher education in the United
States.
The Madison program of
tutorial and financial assistance
was described by the magazine,
Southern Education Report, as a
“significant contribution” to the
education of “high risk” students,
Projects at the University of
California and Southern Mlinois
University also were among those
cited.
Launched in 1966 with 24
students, the program is directed
by Ruth Doyle, specialist in the
office of the dean of student
affairs.
“This is not a pilot project,
Mrs. Doyle said, ‘ We're not an
experimental group. these kids
can make it. The big state
universities have more of an
obligation to help these
students—and can do it with less
trauma—than the private colleges.
This is part of our responsibility.”
Tutored by honor student
volunteers, the 24 were joined last
fall by another 63 students, all
rated in the bottom one per cent
on the University’s “predicted
success scale.’? This group
included 53 Negroes, four
American Indians, two Puerto
Ricans, and four whites.
Size of the program is restricted
by ‘“liack of money,” the magazine
explained. ‘The University’s
present intention is to continue
enrolling 60 to 65 new students in
the program each year. In a
five-year program, this will add up
to some 300 students.”

Participating in a series of
dialogues aimed at bringing them
sloser together on topics of
cu ¢ent interest.
These ‘ Intercollegiate
Dialogues” are held once a month
at various college campuses, where
students discuss the issues in small
groups.
‘This month’s dialogue will be
Sunday, November 17, at 2 p.m.
in Roger Bacon Hall at Siena
College. The topic will be “Sex on
Campus.”
Colleges which take part
include RPI, SUNYA, Albany
College of Pharmacy, Siena,
College of St. Rose, Maria, Union,
St. Anthony’s on Hudson, Russell
Sage, and the Seminary of Our
Lady of Angels.
Alll the topics are selected by a
steering committee made up of
representatives of the various
colleges involved in the dialogue.
Topics are designed to keep
participants aware of today’s ideas
and issues.
Demonstration Supports
Divinity. Draft Resister
Brooks Smith, a Latham
student at the University of
Chicago Divinity School, will
refuse induction into the Uf
Army at the Old Post Office
Building in Albany on Tuesday,
Nov. 19.
Refusal of induction, which
could earn Smith up to five years
in prison, is the culmination of
almost a year of resistance
activity, which began when he
burned his draft card last
December 4.
He was also involved in the
planning for a “resistance worship
service’? at the University
Christian Movement conference in
Cleveland last winter.
The Draft Committee of
Albany State’s Students for a
Democratic Society has called for
a peaceful support demonstration
for Smith in front of the Post
Office Building beginning at 8:30
Tuesday morning.
He hopes by refusing induction,
to demonstrate his “concern for
the’ democratic and humanitarian
strands in our culture,” as well as
his opposition to “the inequalities
of the draft system including the
question of conscription’s
legitimacy.”
Besides making plans for the
demonstration and Sunday
program supporting Smith, the
Nov. 11 SDS Anti-Draft
Dommittee meeting decided to
postpone a large-scale draft
‘conference at least for the near
future. However, there are plans
for an event to initiate a program
for the training of draft
counselors to be held soon.

to take a moral stand on

“You can debate the war, you

while our guys are there we feel
like giving them the weapons they

Although Doan feels the
Vietnam War has ‘‘gotten

favors an immediate troop
withdrawal, he also says that
napalm is “a fantastically useful
strategic weapon.”
“There’s only one tactical
weapon that can turn back the
human wave and that’s napalm,”
he said. This liquid fire bomb is
the only way to seep death into
conerete bunkers and heavily
protected troop emplacements.”

‘The event, sponsored by Cathexis, became a psycological exercise.
Audience Involvement Marks
Cathexis Psycho-Drama
by Barbara Heyne
Visualize a restaurant. A drunk
accosts a college student.
Argumentation ensues, React.
This was the situation
presented by Cathexis, the
Psychology Club, in their
program, “The Role-Play, an
Experiment in Psycho-Drama,”
November 13.
Students were randomly
selected from the audience to
participate in a situation of which
they had no previous knowledge.
Each participant was assigned a
role and was instructed to be alert
to the responses of others, The
success of the enactment hinged
on thé ability of the characters to
interrelet with one another, “to
come out of their bag.”
As the incident in the
restaurant evolved, participants
interpreted the attitudes and
personalities evoked by such an
experience. The middle-aged
drunk reacts hostilely to a college
student who he thinks has
insulted his wife.
The wife tries to calm her
husband pleading with him not to
make a fool of himself. However,
when he is insulted she reverses
her reaction and jumps to his
defense. A mediator arises out of
the confusion, The manager
intervenes taking the side of the
drunk immediately.
As the role-play reaches its
climax, the artificiality of the
contrived situation gives way to
an understanding of the characters
point of view by each actor. The
student assuming the role of the
drunk understands the man’s
reaction and the actor tunrs
against his own peer. Each
participant was able to lose

The Teachers’ Draft Counseling Committee recognizes that many of our young men question
further, that, under conditions imposed by the draft law, the choice of service, alternate service, or
non-service represents, for many, a serious chvice about life goals, and for others, a far reaching
personal crisis. The Committee takes the position, therefore that as teachers and responsible
members of the academic community, we must help such young men obtain information on all
alternatives and examine their own feelings to the end that they arrive at a rational and

As editor of the 1969 Torch 1
would like to reply to the column
“The Greek Echo’’ which
appeared in the ASP on November
x
The Editorial Board of the
Torch has decided not to include
composite pictures of the Greeks
in this year’s book. Our, reasons
for using group photographs are as
follows:
First, and primarily: thirty-four
pages of individual photos of
fraternity and sorority members is
too much when added to almost
one hundred pages of senior
portraits. We believe that row
after row, page after page of head
shots is monotonous and boring,
The university has grown too large
for anyone but graduates to have
the privilege of an individual
portrait; and even so, the
yearbook is having to devote more
and more of its space to this kind
of layout.
Second: We cannot be impartial
and still give the Greeks a
coverage far greater than that of
any other group. Fraternities and
sororities are indeed active in
s dent affairs, but their
membership is only a small
fraction of the total enrollment.
We can treat the Greeks only for
what they are, not for the
accomplishments of their
individual members. We are not a
publicity manual for the Greeks,
but a yearbook for the whole
university-including that large
majority of students who prefer
to make their mark as
independents. i
Third: We sincerely believe that
a group photograph of a fraternity
or sorority is far more interesting
to most students than rows of
look-alike head shots. From an
imaginative group photo a

the Greeks as much as we can. We
arranged a meeting with
Pan-Hellenic Council and carefully
and fully explained the position
contained in this letter. We asked
the members of Pan-Hellenic
Council to report back to their
groups, and we are willing to meet
with the Greek presidents if our
policy is still unclear. We will try
to give the Greeks the best phots
possible, allowing them enough
time to arrange a date and to
decide on an appropriate location.
We plan to put names of all the
members under their photo,
including the names of those
absent. We will provide space for
photos of Pan-Hellenic Council,
IFC, and ISC, We will give
coverage to such events as
Homecoming, State Fair,
Christmas Sing, and AMIA games
in the student life section at the
front of the book.
In turn, we ask for co-operation
from the Greeks.
James D. Folts
P.S; in reply to the advertisement
appearing in the ASP on
November 12:
In effect we charge all groups
for their photos when we ask for a
budget from Central Council. If
we billed the various organizations
separately, the money would still
be coming from the same place.
But the Greeks are independent
groups affiliated with Student
Association; Central Council has
no control over them, through
granting funds or otherwise. The
fraternities and sororities receive
no money from the student
treasury, and their members pay
student tax because as students
‘they now must pay it. Therefore
implemented. Central Council, being the most
representative student body, should be allowed the
to decide
concerning students. It does not have this power in
areas concerning residence reforms at this time.
Since the bill must now go to Faculty Student
Committee on Resdiences, we strongly urge that
this body recommend the bill in its original form
and that President Collins promptly submit these
proposals to University Council for their final
questions and proposals
we assess them $25 per page,
which is inexpensive compared
with our advertising rates.
To the Editor:
‘As a member of the University
community, I feel I must speak
out on the dangerous situation
which exists in the Dutch and
State Quad parking lots. This
situation is caused by certain
individuals who feel it is their
right to park their cars around the
curbs rather than in the lined
areas.
Owners of small cars account
for the majority of this privileged
group because their automobiles
fit most conveniently into these
unsafe areas. There is certainly no
reason for the continuance of this
practice because authorities
should recognize this condition as
a threat to the safety of those
who use the parking lots.
Not only do these cars make it
difficult to turn at the end df a
row, but they also reduce’ a
driver’s visibility as he proceeds
into the lanes which aborder the
lot.
The trend now seems to be one
of parking medium-sized cars in
these areas which makes it even
more difficult to drive around
corners. This development,
coupled with the curb parking
along the sidewalk, has turned
spacious two-lane roads into
narrow one-lane passages. Fire
apparatus would certainly find it
difficult, if not impossible, to get
through the parking lot.
Why should certain people be
allowed to park closer to the
podium just because they drive
small cars? Are the authorities
waiting for a serious accident to
occur before they take any
action? I doubt this, but let them
prove me correct by putting an
immediate end to this situation.

The
by Robert Iseman
Right Way
First of all, I apoligize to the
Swim Club for several inaccuracies
that appeared in last weeks
column; and also for narrow
mindedness on my part.
eeEKEK
I got an indication today of
why so many people disrespect
the police, considering that you
can define the Security Cops as
police. My car died last Friday at
10:00 p.m. in front of the
Humanities building, and on
Monday at 3:54 p.m. it was
ticketed. Did the Security Police
get the weekend off?
My entire electrical system had
conked out, so I couldn’t even
start the motor. On Monday night
some friends, with another car,
came to give me a push; and
started pushing me to a service
station. Just as we were passing
Checkpoint Charlie, one of the
“finest” hopped out and in a very
bitchy yell, told me that my lights
weren’t on.
Amazed at his perceptiveness, I
agreed. He then replied that this
couldn’t be so. Again I agreed,
knowing that it was an electrical
impossibility to operate a light
with no source of power. I was
then questioned why I didn’t
either have the car towed away or
have someone come to look at it.
Assuming that anyone who saw
someone driving a beat-up °54
Chevy would consider that the
owner would not have much
money, I answered his question in
sort of a disgusted groan.
With this, he informed me that
I would be ticketed for driving
without head lights. Apparently
he didn’t have any tickets with
him, as he jumped into a truck
and sped away toward the
security office. Doubting his
motives, my friends and I drove
away before he could awaken
anyone at the office.
Later that night, I observed the
observed the University Patrol Car
crusing around with only one
headlight. So, I give the Security
Police (?) this advice, “If you
can’t better it, don’t blame it.”
We needed a change, and next
January we'll get one. Now that
the campaign is over, it’s time to
step back and look at what has
happened.
‘There are three factors arising
from the election that might
affect the Nixon administration in
the next four years. All three are
being built up by some political
observers as nearly
insurmountable barriers to
progress in the new
administration.
The first of these problems is,
of course, the closeness of the
election itself. A 2/10 of one
percent victory in the popular
vote can hardly be considered a
mandate to govern. But the factor
that has to be taken into
consideration is the 13.5% of the
vote received by George Wallace.
Added to Nixon’s total) of
43.8%, the result is about 57% ot
the people voting for a change.
‘True, a small part of Wallace’s
lsupport would not have gone to
‘Nixon, but the fact remains that
in voting for Wallace they were
demanding a change, and by the
very nature of their third party
protest vote, demanding it more
emphatically than the Nixon
supporters.
The second predicted
roadblock for President Nixon is
the Demoeratically controlled
Congress. The point here is that
party disipline, especially in the
party out of power, is almost
non-existant. The Demoerats do
control Congress, but many of
these are conservative Southerners
who will probably cross party
lines to support Nixon legislation.
It should also be remembered
that Southerners either chair or
control many important
committees in Congress. During
the next four years, I think we
can look for a coalition of

Republicans and Southern
Democrats to give Nixon a
responsive Congress.
Finally, we have the matter of
political debts. Who does Mr.
Nixon owe? There are some who
say he is indebted to Strom
Thurmond and others of his
persuasion. In my opinion, the
choice of Mr. Agnew as the
Vice-Presidentialjcan didate would
be concession enough to hold the
south for a long, long time.
Indeed, it is the south who
should owe Mr. Nixon for giving
them a conservative alternative to
a man who probably would have
been the most expensive president
in history (in more ways than
one). As for Rocky, Javits,
Goodell, Lindsay, ete., they did
nothing to help in the campaign
and obviously cannot expect
anything in return.
In fact, I’d say Sen.’s Javits and
Goodell were the two major
reasons why Humphrey carried
New York. Nixon owes the
liberals nothing, and here’s one
person who hopes he gives them
just that in regard to positions in
the new administration.
On second thought, if we need
new ambassadors to outer Borneo,
or some such area, 1 can think of
no better place for these four
gentlemen. Surely the taxpayers
of New York would be eternally
grateful,
I can see no reason why
President Nixon should not take
the initiative and provide America
with strong decisive leadership.
Last Tuesday, 57% of the voters
asked for a change. Hopefully, the
new administration will respond
to this mandate and act
appropriately.

A SCENE FROM Le Depart. The movie is both comic and dramatic.

|The Changing Judy Collins
| Sometimes A G
reat Notion
by Robert B. Cutty
I don’t frequently write about
recording artists, in fact I’ve done
so only once, but because of the
great pleasure with which I have
received Judy Collin’s albums I
have decided to devote a column
that will normally concern itself
only with drama to her artistic
talents.
Miss Collins began as a simple
folksinger, much in the manner
of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, and
Donovan, to whom I , will
frequently compare her in this
article, Her repertoire was
dominated by traditional
Anglo-American ballads, of
varying quality, but all sung with
a terribly fine voice, of fairly high
pitch and little dramatic
by Dave Bordwell
What strikes one immediately
about Jerzy Skolimowsky’s “Le
Depart” (Ceinema Art Theatre) is
its sense of restless, propulsive
energy. From the first shot—of a
turtleneck sweater yanked down
over his head—Jean-Pierre Leaud
scarcely pauses as he drives,
sprints, skips, fistfights, leapfrogs,
and handsprings through Brussels
in search of a Porsche 6118 to
enter in a sports car rally, ana his
hurtling, reckless resourcefulness
is a delight to watch.
“In Poland,” Skolimowsky has
remarked, ‘possession of a car is a
distinctive mark of property.”
“Le Depart,” while superficially
about Leaud’s passion for racing
and his awakening affection for a
girl (tartly played by Catherine
Dumont), is really about mass
advertising, elegant wigs, fancy
cars, bathing suits, gas
pumps-that is, contemporary
values and the glittering gadgetry
that surrounds them.
Here an auto show is a masscult
display case, where people come
to gawk at the gleaming tactile
machines. A noisy argument over
an accident takes place before
huge auto posters from which ad
people grin blankly.
Skolimowsky’s use of pop culture
to extablish a milieu and mood
and to comment on the
foreground action indebts him to
Godard; but I’m afraid his
fragmentation is more mechanical,
his milieu emptier of background
than that of his French model.
If Skolimowsky is derivative, he
has gifts too. His comic sense
knows how to make Leaud’s
attempts to steal a Porsche both
humorous and elegant cinema.
Now and then, side riffsike a
closeup of a hotdog thrust up an
exhaust pipe—and minor
characters—a snooty dame on the
make, a mufflered
pawnbroker—teveal that this
director doesn’t overlook the little
details that can make a film a
chain of pleasantly unexpected
explosions. (Godard uses Molotov
cocktails, while Skolimowsky,
more gentle and less
revolutionary, favors nickel
firecrackers.) Finicky
compositions, a calculated
rhythmie abruptness, long
sequences kept tactfully
silent—here Skilimowsky’s impact
is strong.
I especially liked the scene in
which a cutaway display car
rotates, its hinged halves regularly
parting and meeting, and Leaud
and Catherine, each sitting in a
side, discover their growing love as
the slowly swinging segments
finally, gently, meet.
Art Gallery Presents
Two New Exhibitions
Two new exhibitions are
scheduled to open at the SUNY
Art Gallery on November 25th.
Collages and “projections” by
Romare Bearden will be shown on
the Gallery’s first floor. Mr.
Bearden’s powerful Expressionist
images are created from
newspaper and magazine
photographs, and scraps of fabric,
paper , and paint.
The Projections originate as
collage but in the final state are
photo-enlargements of the original
piece. The artist’s subject matter
ranges from his intensely personal
view of Negro life in the southern
countryside and in Harlem to
interpretations of events from
classical mythology and
contemporary life.
Romare Bearden was born
in North Carolina and educated in
New York where he’now lives, He
exhibits regularly at
Cordier-Ekstrom Gallery and has
recently made covers for Fortune’
and Time magazines, ;
The paintings of Donald Cole
who also lives in New York will be
shown on the Gallery’s first floor.
Mr. Cole graduated from Bucknell
University in 1953 with a degree
in Civil Engineering. He worked as
a civil engineer until 1959 when
he returned to sehool to study for
an MFA degree at the University
of Iowa. Mr. Cole now teaches at
the New York Institute of
Technology. His large abstract
canvases reflect an interest in
relating the forms and
mathematical relationships of
technology to the plastic and
coloristic concerns of painting.
‘A reception for Donald Cole
and Romare Bearden will be held
in the Art Gallery at 7:30 p.m. on
November 25th. The public is
invited.
Ekolimowsky only loses control in
the pacing of those interminable
driving sequences which should
serve merely as connective tissue
but instead stick out as unsigittly
lumps of fat.
The ending is quietly, satisfying.
Leaud and Catherine finally steal
a Porsche. While they’re holed up.
in a hotel the night before the
rally, she shows him slides of her
childhood. Before he’d wanted
nothing more than to win the
xace, buttnow as she dozes over
the projector, he looks at her
tenderly for the first time. The
next morning she awakes to the
sound of motors whining outside.
But Leaud is in the room with
her., He overslept? No. She smiles,
and'when he looks at the bed,
she’s undressed and waiting for
him, Closeup of him, and the shot
begins to melt as slide had.
Superficial, sure, like so much
of Skolimowsky’s film, but also
assured and affecting. “Le
Depart” makes one vigilant for
more from this talented young
director.
‘We
Gains
Judging by his enthusiastic
reception from the critics, Joseph
Heller, whose ‘“Catch-22” has
become an anti-war classic, has
made a most auspicious debut as a
playwright with “We Bombed in
New Haven,” his first play.
Now settled at the Ambassador
Theatre on West 49th Street in
New York City, this powerful and
provocative anti-war
comedy-drama stars Jason
Robards and Diana Sands. Called
by Richard Watts of the New
York Post “The first really
satisfactory new American play af
the season,” “We Bombed in New
Haven” again demonstrates as did
“Catch-22,” Heller’s great gift for
adopting wild farcical humor to a
serious anti-war purpose.

inflection.
This early style of hers was
greatly similar to Donovan's,
except that Miss Collins dwelled
obsessively on the typical ballad
topics of war, romantic suffering,
and family strife, while Donovan
kept sounding again and again the
theme of unrequited, innocent
adoration, masking as romantic
love,
This further differed from
Dylan, with his stylistic tricks,
(which, however, were very
successful) and Miss Baez, with
her violeht dramatic flourishes
and her extreme emphasis on
guitar beat fulfilling the role of
emotional upsurgence.
As it did in the individual cases
of the other folk-singers herein
mentioned, Miss Collins’ tastes
changed. Primarily, this change
was relected in a new, almost
sudden tendenc to sing about
modern’ social problems. Where
Dylan and Donovan were
congerned, this meant writing
‘one’s own songs entirely instead
of singing other compositions.
But for Collins and Baez, this
new<tentiency led them to being
recording modern folk songs,
‘among which, most importantly,
were gongs by Dylan and other
ontemporary American folk song
writer-singers.
‘All three of these artists were
mist concerned with the problem
of the American Negro, although
Donovan out-distanced virtually
all folk and rock singers,
American and British, by an early
interest in drugs. As for Miss Baez
and Mr, Dylan, their chief tartgets
were racial prejudice (not social
and individual moral hypocrisy, a
prime theme of Janis Ian in later
years) and the horrors of war.
But Miss Collins, after “A Maid
of Constant Sorrow” and “The
Golden Apples of the Sun,”
turned in her third album to a
variety of songs dealing almost
exclusively with anti-war,
On
Clive Barnes in the New York
‘Times calls “We Bombed in New
Maven” a remarkable theatrical
debut for Joseph Heller, a writer
to the tip of his keyboard. His
dialogue flows out, natural, real,
amusing, absorbing. Here is the
writer of “Catch-22” flying high,
high on words of his first
theatrical flight.
Rarely has the Broadway
sheatre seen an audience react as
collection of
anti-violence, and anti-killing
themse, plots, and images.
Though “Judy Collins in Con
cert” was a final return to pure
folk music, her fifth album was a
definite transition to the folk-rock
style that soon was to
overwhelmingly dominate the
American popular music scene.
This album retained the folk
mannerism of simple guitar
accompaniment but the songs are
all fok-rock.
It is obvious how this album is
comparable those of Baez (her
fifth and “Farewell, Angelina”)‘
Dylan (“Bringing It All Back
Home” and ‘‘Highway 61
Revisted”), and Donovan (‘Like
IT Is, Was, and Evermore Shall
Be’’), as it combines an
‘increasingly cynical tone with a
more rabid worship of personal
freedoms and civil liberties.
Capitilizing on the

Living
Theatre
i
Returns
From Long European Exile
After four years of exile, the
Living Theatre has returned to
New York to create on the stage
of the Brooklyn Academy of
Music a mute and terrifying
monster.
Julian Beck and his wife, Judith
Malina, founded the Living
Theatre in 1951. Sets were built
of string, rags and scrap lumber.
“We were broke after our
second production,” admits Beck.
Each new theatre was sucessively
closed by fire regulations and
accumulated debts.
No large foundation would
support them because Beck could
not afford to pay his actors
Equity rates. The Ford
Foundation said if Beck could not
finance professionalism, they
would not finance Beck.
Finally, in October 1963, the
Internal Revenue Service entered
the theatre and declared that the
building was seized. The Becks
had not been able to afford
income tax.
In 1964, the group went to
Europe. or four years the Living
Theatre, renamed ‘le Living,’
toured the continent, drawing
alternate applause and attack.
The disciples of Artaud saw
them as ultimate actors - that is,
sacrificial victims, immolating
themselves by their art. They were
ejected from the Avignon Festival.
They became a legend fabricated
by a welter of press dispatches,
riots and “‘scandales.”
The Living Theatre returned to
New York on guarantee of a
round trip ticket and opened with
Paradise Now. The climax of the
play occurs when actors and
audience troop out into the
streets. The people loved it. The
police descended, and the Becks
et al were arrested for indecent
exposure,
The police
cancellation of
demanded
the next
Performance. But the show went
on. Outside the theatre 300
members of Students for a
Democratic Society protested,
demanding to be let in. So the
Becks agreed to give an extra
performance. Most of the SDS
delegation sneaked in through the
stage door anyway, condemning
the Living Theatre for not
breaking the regulations of the
system,
But the Living Theatre breaks
the system itself. Frankenstein,
which ran for six days at the
Brooklyn Academy of Muisc
earlier this month presents a
monster formed of Freud,
Strin
Paracelsus, Norbert Weiner and
victims. Our society has created
these people who lift the massive
limbs of Frankensteing toward the
audience. They frighten us; they
are thin and muscular, young and
hard, They have lost their
innocence, and they remind us
that we too have lost what
innocence we possessed--and
replaced it with a lie. They want
to form us in their image, and we,
in turn, demand that they rebuild
themselves.
Frankenstein is not a play. The
dramatic confrontation is between
the audience and the actors. It is a
silent battle and it lives.
Individuals Impre
by Paula Camardella
The concert given by the
American String Trio must remain
in the shadow of the Philadelphia
Wind Quintet, which had
appeared here at the University
last week. Although the individual
players, notably Karen Tuttle and
John Goberman, showed precise
sensitivity, the group as a whole
neither gave the impression of
confidential unity nor of
convincing control.
The setting for the concert was
quite appropriately the Art
Gallery (which is presenting a fine
exhibition). The first two pieces,
by Schubert and Martinu went
fairly well. The Madrigals for
violin and viola were interesting
because they combined a lot of
dialogue between the instruments
with interesting chord
combinations and contrasting
runs.
Miss Tuttle’s sensitivity to the
pathos of the music made her
sound as if she was playing a harp
instead of a viola at times.
By the time the Mozart piece
had ended the program was
dragging a bit.
The group entirely redeemed
itself with the Beethoven Trio in
D Major. With this selection, they
really came to life—they played.
‘This was the gem of the evening.
Miss Tuttle, indeed the demur,
self-assured, accurate musician, is
most attractive to watch because
she works quietly, yet supurbly.
Goberman, the cellist, stole the
show in his own quiet way by
mastering the techniques and
dynamics of the music so well,
always bringing our the richest
tones. Every tiny movement was
measured and controlled in
contrast to a somewhat distracting
freedom of movement of the
violinist.
Contrasting the serious mood
of the concert was a curious
incident. During the intermission,

State Quadrangle
Productions Grow
by Holly Seitz
Started as an attempt to
provide a break from the books,
State Quad Productions has now
developed into more of an
entertainment corporation
according to Frank Levy,
Producer-Director of the Council.
The staff will celebrate the first
anniversary of the founding of the
SQP Saturday, November 16, with
a party at the Ambassador
Restaurant. The Quad will be
treated to “Fantastic Voyage” on
the new cineamascope wide
screen,
Following the film will be a
double feature, The two films are
being shown for the price of one.
“Hud” and “Cincinnati Kid” will
be seen November 22 and 23.
The purpose of the Council was
originally to provide
entertainment for the Quad. But
interest has developed to such an
extent that Levy estimates 3,000
students have been turned away
from the Tower East Cinema.
This great demand for seats has
lead to the institution of the
reserve seat policy for cinema
weekends, the first of which was
November 8-10 which featured
“Judgment at Nuramberg.’ The
next weekend will be December
13-14, Featured will be “The
Longest Day” on Friday and “A
Man for All Seasons.”

final week of the semester the
Quad will present the Marx

W.C. Fields in “Barbershop.”
‘These films will be shown on a
staggered schedule to permit
students to attend when their
study schedule permits.
The Production Council has
originated a State Quad honor roll
and humanitarian award. The first
named to the honor roll were
David Black, producer of “George

The first recipiant of the
humanitarian award will be Miss
Pearl Bailey, a long time
entertainer. It is hoped that the
award will be presented during the
Quad’s special spring weekend.
March 7-9 has been designated
as State Quad Weekend. The
humanitarian award will hopefully
be presented then, The
production of “On A Clear Day
You Can See Forever” will be
presented along with sporting
events, a possible special dinner,

celebrity.
Auditions for “On A Clear

Wrestling Squad Announces
Schedule For Coming Year
The fourth annual Albany Quadrangular will open the State University at Albany’s 1968-69 varsity
wrestling season on December 7. Held for the first time in the wrestling room of the physical education
builidng, the tournament will include the same three visiting teams a$ last year, Hartwick and Dartmouth
colleges and the University of Rochester. Dartmouth is the defending champion.
Two teams will be met for the first time in wrestling, New Paltz at home on February 4, and Harpur

Bayard Fenner Will
Appear For Sailers
The Albany State sailing Club is
having a special meeting on
November 19 at 7:30 p.m. in
Physics 129. This meeting was
called because the club was given
the opportunity to have as a guest
Bayard Fenner, sailing coach at
Adelphi and Bay Constable, to
give a discussion on sailing.
In 1965, Mr. Fenner reached
the Mallory Cup district
elimination finals. He also won
two races from Cornelius Shields,
Jr., who later became North
American sailing champion.
Mr, Fenner’s services are
requested in regattas and national
sailing championships for course
patrol because of his extensive
imowledge of water and wind
conditions.
Due to the sailing teams
outstanding season of four team
wins out of five fall regattas, there
is a possibility that some more
boats can be bought. The club is
particularly interested in boats
which would make a Henry
Hudson Regatta, a race from New
York to Albany, possible.
Anyone who is interested is
welcome to attend this meeting
Post following a five year lapse.
Montclair, Coast Guard, and

All-Stars Angered By
Action
In a recent interview with
Irish-All-Star mentor Bill Blain,
certain discriminatory practices of
AMIA that have barred the
All-Stars from competition were
discussed.
Captain Blain described a
“eovert, insidious, heinious plot
on the part of AMIA League I
Bowling and its officials,” as the
corner stone that kept the
All-Stars off the League I roster.
In summing up the bad turn
done by AMIA to his All-Stars,
Captain Blain also mentioned that
other AMIA League I teams have
not always been above board in
their signing of new players.
Also discussed was the bad
showing of other teams as they
floundered on the stubborn
All-Star defense, thus deflating
what were once high averages.
Blain also mentioned other team’s
jealousy for the amount of
publicity recorded by the
All-Stars.
This was thought to be not
simply due to the excellent
publicity staff of the All-Stars,
but rather to dynamicism of the
All-Stars themselves.
The All-Star roster also notices
some changes this year. While still
retaining such stellar performers
as very offensive captain Butch
McGuerty, the defensive stalwart
“Fuzzy” Galvin, sparkplug Jim
Healy, ‘Bullet” Dan Moran (last
Of AMIA
year’s most valuable player), and
of course captain, Bill Blain.
Missing from this year’s squad
will be key offensive player Mike
Brennan, who has not recovered
from a roughing up by League I
toughs, and Mick “the Thing”
McMsaahon, who was dropped
from the squad due to excessive
weight.
New faces will be number one
draft choice, Chip Johnson and
Tom Howard, who was obtained
on waivers from Grambling
College.
While being relegated to League
I, Captain Blain will reorganize
his volatile defense and introduce
a new, virulent offense, “It’s the
audacious, pugnacious,
pusillanimous game we've played
that has given us our fine
reputation,” states Captain Blain,
“and we don’t intend to let down
one bit.”
