by Lauren Ostrander
“Students for O’Dwyer” met
last Wednesday to discuss the
work that must be done to help
make the O’Dwyer campaign for
New York State Senator a
successful one.
Canvassing from door to door
or on the telephone, preparing
letters and flyers, organizing
election districts, and recruiting
supporters are some of the many
that college students are
needed for.

Council Petitioned On
Pueblo Statement
by Don Stankavage
Central Councit accepted a
petition presented by Steven
Villano which opposed the
contents of the Council’s policy
statement concerning the U.S.S.
Pueblo.
366 petition signers from State
Quad especially disagreed with
Section II of the bill which they
said, “indicts the United States
even if North Korea is wrong.”
Council members then listened
to a statement delivered by
Villano in which he deplored the
“only brief consideration” given
to the bill before its passage.
Villano suggested that a
referendum be held on this and
all other issues of national
concern so that the true nature of
student opinion could be judged.
Council then moved to
reconsider the bill, tabled it, and
sent it to the Committee on
Political and Social Positions for
further study and review.
Central Council then approved
the réport of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Tenure. This report
recommiéhds formulation of a
mixé@” graduate and
undergraduate student committee
within each University school to
“consider the qualifications of
each faculty member who is up
for tenure.”
The student recommendations
are to be forwarded along with
departmental recommendations.
Furthermore, four students from
the student committees will be
members of the Council on
Promotions and Continuing
Appointments.
Central Council also instituted
a Grievance Committee to
“officially receive and consider all
petitions from the student body,
and to act on suggestions from
Central Council and from the
general student body and present
to Central Council for action
Proposals concerning such
suggestions.””
On campus, people are needed
to help at a literature table that
will be established in the Campus
Center.
Peter Parsons, a member of the
Coalition For A Democratic
Alternative and chief organizer of
the O'Dwyer headquarters in
Albany, talked about the voting
wards in Albany.
He said that there were, in
particular, eight wards that
needed to become much more
familiar with O’Dwyer and his
policies,
‘These districts need the energy
of college students to help
O’Dwyer carry the wards.
Over one hundred students
who came to the initial meeting of
this independent student
organization heard Mrs, Carol
Waterman, a professor of
Psychology here , in addition to
student coordinators Carol
Schneider and Ira Wolfman,
All emphasized the fact that
now is the time for workers, not
just button-wearers,
In the weeks before the
primary, O’Dwyer was relatively
unknown, they said, But by
primary day students had worked
and sacrificed to help make
O’Dwyer and his stand familiar
with the voters.
‘As the primary illustrated, they
said, this system really works.
It was also brought out at this
meeting that Allard Lowenstein,
running from the fifth
Congressional district (in Nassau
County), needs college students to
aid his campaign. It was said
that anyone who could travel to
Long Island and help in his
campaign would be greatly
appreciated. Contact for this may
be made with Gary Weiner.
Help is still needed for the
O’Dwyer campaign in Albany. If
anyone would like to work to
help Paul O’Dwyer become a
Senator from New York State,
please contact either of the
following student coordinators.
Carol Schneider may be reached
by calling 482-0568 or Ira
Wolfman at 457-3021.

“The study,” Pierce explained,

Secretary Of American Friends
Blasts
by Becty Anderson
Russell Johnson, Peace
Secretary of the American Friends
Service Committee, emphasized
the aggrandizing tendencies of the
“American empire,” especially in
Southeast Asia, and how the
United States often adversely
affects their societies.
In particular, the American
military and business tendencies
have obtained, according to
dohnson, a toe hold within the
nation and have intruded our
economic system, thus making the
economy of other states
dependant upon the United States
rather than maintaining their
self-sufficiency. Johnson has had
wide experience in Asia and is
well acquainted with its problems,
He has spoken to many people in
Asia and the United States about
our policy in that area and urges a
realistic appraisal of the situation.
He was in Vietnam in 1961. At
that time, he talked to many
Buddhist students who were
disgusted about conditions in
their country. He tried to alert the
American embassy about the
Buddhists feelings.
The American officials
wouldn’t listen to his information.
The result was the ousting of
President Diem and the
Vietnamese distrust of American
authority.
In Southeast Asia, 85% of the
peasants live on the soil. Their
main enemies are the landlord and
corrupt officials. This is their
major concern not the war,
Johnson said.
Ho Chi Minh was one of the
first to believe that Communism
was the force to help liberate his
nation and help it advance. As a
result, according to Johnson, the
main issue is the linkage of
communism to nationalism.
The most basic problem, in
Johnson’s view, is social equality
and justice for the peasants, This
is difficult in most Asian nations
since the elite often neglect the
welfare of the peasants,
Our presence within the Asian
nation, Johnson reported,
produces more Communism than
before. This coupled with the
example of the better conditions
of Chinese peasants turns the
people of an Asian nation against
us.
Johnson offered two
alternatives, Thailand and
Cambodia, to what might happen
next in Southeast Asia.
Thailand could be a prosperous
and peaceful nation but is rapidly,
says Johnson, becoming the next
Viet Nam, They have good
relations with China, The United
States has nine air bases in the
country.
A military junta, controlling the
government, uses the United
States! presence to bolster their
‘American Empire’ In Asia
power. The United States uses
them to maintain our interests
there.
Within the society there is a
growing resentment against the
United States; they believe we are
destroying their Thainess.
Finally, Johnson noted, there
is a growing Communist
insurgence in the country.

Inciardi and Dean Babst of the
Commissions’ Division of
Research, under the direction and
supervision of Dr. Daniel Glase,
Associate Commissioner
Research.
Both the New York City Youth
Counsel Bureau and the
Department of Health
collaborated in the study.
‘The research team investigated
the extent to which adolescent
marijuana use is followed by
heroin use, the extent to which
adolescent heroin use is continued
in adulthood, and the extent to
which non-drug delinquency is
followed in later years by
addiction.
The study is based on an
examination of the records and
behaviour of male adults who first
came to public notice five years
and 10 years ago as adolescent
offenders.
Because only a
adolescents apprehended
iegal acts are referred to the
courts, cases were selected from
the records of the Youth Counsel
Bureau in order to identify
youngsters at the earlies stage of
involvement with law
enforcement agencies.

Mall Grant
Doubled
ALBANY, N.Y. (UPI)—State
Comptroller Arthur Levitt ap-
proved a compromise agree-
ment Thursday to more than
double the state subsidy for a
442-unit housing project in the
South Mall development.
Under terms of the agree-
ment, $7.4-million of the $18.4-
million cost of the low income
housing project will now come
from the overall construction
cost of the South Mall complex.
The original agreement called
for 500 low income rental units
at an estimated cost of $10.2-
million with an annual state
subsidy of $466,900. Under the
amended agreement, the state
subsidy will be $966,000 a year.
Unit cost has more than dou-
bled from $20,400 three years
ago to $41,629, Levitt said.
Levitt said the upward trend
in construction costs since 1965,
poor subsoil conditions, and the
scarcity of skilled labor account
for the increased unit cost.
The development will include
102 efficiency and one-bedroom
apartments specially designed
for the elderly. Seven additional
buildings of seven and eight
stories will contain 340 apart-
ments.
When initial occupancy begins
in 1970, it will mark the first
time in the state that high rise
public housing will accommo-
date low and ~— mode

families as well as senior citi-
zens, Levitt said.
Peace Talks
To Resume
PARIS (UPI)—Western diplo-
mats said Sunday the new
indiscriminate shelling of Saigon
by Viet Cong forces could signal
a new terror campaign to win
concessions from the United
States at the Paris peace talks.
The talks between American
and North Vietnamese: sdiplo-
mats resume Wednesday. There
has been no progress ‘since they
opened May 13.
Western quarters —_ regarded
the new rocket’ attacks on
Saigon as a demonstration by
Viet Cong troops that they could
penetrate allied defense and
move the missile launchers
within range of the South
Vietnamese capital.
Both sides in the talks here
were busy during the weekend
Preparing for the 24th negotiat-
ing session,
Hanoi sources indicated the
chief North Vietnamese dele-
gate, Xuan Thuy, would demand
with renewed insistence that the
United States unconditionally
stop all bombing of North
Vietnam.
Neither side appeared ready
to make any major concessions.
The United States demands
e sign of reciprocity as the
price for complete halt in the
air raids which have been
restricted to the southern
panhandle area of North Viet-
nam since April 1.
The U.S. delegation, headed
W. Averell Harriman, has been
urging North Vietnam to say
what it would do if the bombing
was stopped. Thuy has refused
to do this, saying that the
United States is the aggressor
in the Vietnam War and that
the. .Vietnamese.. people. are. the
victims.

HHH Announces
US Peace Plan
By MICHAEL POSNER
SAN
Vice
Humphrey
FRANCISCO (UPI)—
President Hubert H.
Thursday unveiled
his “new strategy for peace”
providing for an international
force under the United Nations
to take over the role as world
policeman,
In his first major foreign
policy address since his - pres-
idential nomination, Humphrey
avoided mentioning — President
Johnson as he appeared to take
a cautious step away from some
administration policies.
HHH Proposal
The Democratic nominee pro-
posed in his speech prepared for
San Francisco’s Commonwealth
Club that an _ international
peace-keeping force be sent to
Vietnam, as well as other world
hot’ spots, once hostilities are
halted in southeast Asia.
“As president of the United
States, 1 will do everything in
my power to place international
peace-keeping soldiers in trou-
bled areas, rather than Ameri-
can soldiers,” Humphrey ‘said.
“Nowhere would a United
Nations. peace-keeping force be
more weleome than in Vietnam
to administer free elections and
verify the withdrawal of foreign
troops.”
While advocating enlargement
of the United Nations’ peace-
keeping functions, Humphrey
said it could be done only if its
members, particularly smaller
nations, would earmark and
train units of their armed
forces for international assign-
ments.
Must Pay
“If we want peace we, and all
nations, must be prepared to
pay for it,” said Humphrey.
‘As for America’s assistance,
Humphrey suggested three
steps:
—Military assistance _pro-
grams to help less developed
countries prepare units of their
armed forces for U.N. and
regional peace-keeping _assign-
ments.
—A new effort to resolve the
financial and constitutional eri-
sis now hampering the U.N.
—Leadership in establishment
of a U.N. peace-keeping fund
‘beginning with $20 million to
help the U.N. launch emergency
operations “without delay.”

NEW HORK
bia University opened
term Thursday in an atmos-
phere of calm underscoring
‘Acting President Andrew Cor-
dier’s belief that the number of
students intent. on disrupting
campus life is “decreasing by
the day.” :
The campus was quiet
through the morning Thursday.
The Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS), which paralyzed
the university last spring, was
able to muster only 40 persons
for a demonstration Wednesday.
‘The demonstrators, protesting
dxpansion by the university
which they said is driving
residents from Morningside
Heights homes, dispersed after
a brief march.
Gordier exprdssed his view of
the situation in an address
taped last week and telecast by
closed circuit Wednesday night
to Columbia alumni meetings in
27 places around the country.
“There is a forward move-
ment (at Columbia),” Cordier
said. ‘There’s a sense of
cooperation. There’s a desire
for teamwork.
“There are those, there have
been those, who would disrupt
university life, That number,
happily, is decreasing by the
day.”

Wallace Strength
Grows In Chicago
By RANDOLPH PENDLETON
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (UPI)
—George Wallace, still running
along but continuing to increase
nis strength in the polls, plans
to demonstrate his popularity
Monday with a high noon
parade through downtown Chi-
cago.
The former Alabama gover-
nor—who is exj2cted to name
his running mate this week—
apparently wants a comparison
with Republican candidate Rich-
ard Nixon who was welcomed
by a huge crowd during a
similar Chicago parade recent-
ly.
Wallace claims he has been
outdrawing both Nixon and
Democratic nominee Hubert
Humphrey. He said _Nixon’s
huge Chicago turnout was
merely a result of Nixon being
where the people were.
Wallace aides have _ been
saying for several weeks that
the third party’s vice presiden-
tial candidate would be named
momentarily. Last week they
said the running mate would be
announced this week, during
Wallace’s six-day foray into the
industrial midwest and the
northeast.
Wallace has said that he
already has sewed up 177

dispute this but several have
shown him running ahead of

A Gallup poll, _ published
Sunday, showed Wallace with 21

nationall compared - with 43 per
cent for Nixon and 28 per cent
for Humphrey. Wallace, who
gained two percentage points,
was the only candidate to
increase his percentage over a
poll taken three weeks ago.
Wallace, who has campaigned
primarily. in the Southern and
border states, has received little
heckling in recent appearances.
In two trips this month the only
organized heckling occurred at
Milwaukee where several
hundred young demonstrators
tried to disrupt his speech. At
other stops he found, at most, a

Invasion Of Czechoslovakia
As Seen By AmericanIn Russia

by Margaret A. Dunlap
At first I could oly stare at
my friends to see if they. were as
shocked as I as we stood in the
Souvenir shop of the Hotel
Europe in Leningrad, USSR and
heard the words “the SovietUnion
has just invaded Czechoslovakia.”
I was totally confused and
worried because those words
could mean so much but said so
little.
I didn’t know whether to
ask questions about the
technicalities of the invasion or
worry about what could happen
to the group that I belonged to,
that was still touring the Soviet
Union. A member of our group
told us the news that a Soviet
student had heard from Voice of
America. The Russian was
standing there so I immediately
asked the same questions that
everyone else asked that day, but
no one answered.
I asked how many troops
had entered the country and if

A five year and 10-year
follow-up was provided by
searching the records of the New

how many of these 1957 and
1963 juveniles were reported as
heroin users.
The basic findings indicate that
while half of the male adolescent
heroin usé¥7had a heroin record
five or 10 years later, about 40
percent of the adolescent
marijuana users also acquired a
heroin record in this follow-up
period,
Only one-eighth of the
non-drug adolescents acquired a
subsequent record of heroin use.
Dr. Glaser stated that these
statistics indicate the conclusion
that, “...among New York City
male adolescents apprehended fur

delinquency, marijuana use is
almost as portentious of adult
heroin use as in actual use of

Presidential
Nixon,
He introduced Steve Jones who
spoke about where to find
volunteers and how to get them
involved in a campaign. Jones
believes the most effective appeal
can be made by directly
approaching the voters.
“Each person (volunteer) is the
center of a small universe,” as
such he can influence and
stimulate others as does a ripple in
a pond.
“There are two types of
volunteers-those who do small
things (making 10 telephone or
door calls) and those with
unlimited time,”
In all cases, advised Jones,
“have something for them to do
before you ask them for help.
Concern with a future
campaign for themselves may
motivate certain volunteers.
“Some (volunteers) have been
asked (to participatejand feel
patriotic, others have been asked
and have no good reason not to.”
To make the most constructive
use out of volunteers, Howser
advised organizers to “find out
their interest in the campaign and
suit their job to meet that
motivation.”
Speaking on the subject ot
getting voters to the polls was Carl
Ruben.

why they were there. A more
optomistic member of our group
tried to shrug the announcement
off with the comment that there
are always troop coming and
going and maybe they were there
for “‘manuevers.””
I somehow sensed- the
ominous meaning of this news. I
had been in the Soviet Union four
weeks and had talked to Soviet
students about the liberalization
taking place in Czechoslovakia.
Three Soviet students had given
me the idea that this liberalization
would not be allowed to continue.
They were pleased to see their
Czechoslovakian brothers gaining
freedom, because they would have
liked some too.
When we had talked of it,
they were also a little sad. They
knew that the reforms would be
stopped and then the citizens in
Czechoslovakia and the Soviet
Union would have less freedom
and everyone would be a little
more closely watched, I knew that
these same Soviet friends would
be shaking their heads with
sadness and sympathy for the
Czechoslovakian people.
‘There was not much I could
do about finding out what the rest
of the world was doing or how the
Czechoslovakian people were
reacting to the entrance of the
troops. We went on our day-long
excursion to Novgorod, one of the
oldest centers of civilization in the
Soviet Union, and I continued to
wonder,
It would have been
comforting to be able to turn on
the television and hear a panel of
news commentators explaining
the facts and what their
consequences could be as we have
become used to during times of
crisis, but there were no
commentators, There was no
complete analysis of what was
happening in the minds of
government officials or what was
happening in the U.N, We had the
same news sources as the Soviet
people, and it wasn’t very much,as
usual, and trying to read Pravda’s,
the official voice of the
Communist party, explanation.
My questions still weren't
answered. Pravda announced to
the Soviet people that troops had

Cambodia is run by Prince
Sihanouk, but the people respect
him, and he is concerned about
his people
He tries to keep the elite in
check. He works for equality and
social justice,
Sihanouk doesn’t want to be a
lackey of any nation and has
broken diplomatic relations with
the United States to insure his
independency.
Often the United States and
South Vietnam bomb Cambodian
lands.
The United States action does
little but antagonize the
Cambodians, reports Johnson.
Refering back to Vietnam,
Johnson didn’t think it was
possible to leave the fighting to
the Vietnamese because of the
level the war has reached. Few
South Vietnamese have enough
hope left to protest conditions.
They are beginning to see
Communism as a lesser evil and
want the foreigners off their soil.
They see Vietnam as one nation.
Johnson pointed out that
North Vietnam has been insisting
that it will not talk seriously until
the bombing stops.) Alsd,~ the
North Vietnamese prefer not to

Chiefly, Johnson blamed the
American ethos which condones a

Czechoslovakia at the request of
the Czechoslovakian government,
to save its citizens from the
‘“‘counterrevolutionary
influences.’’ There was an
ideological discussion of these
influences and then the
announcement that no -country
would ever be allowed to break
away from the Communist Bloc.
I was still trying to figure
out who or what in the
government had ordered these
troops. There was no news of
what had happened when the
troops had entered the country. I
had no idea, as I found out later,
of the cold reception the troops
had received by the people they
had gone in to “save.”
The next big puzzle in my
mind was what the United States
was doing about this invasion. I
had an idea that my group could
be affected by a decision of
disapproval that the U.S. might
make. Actually we were leaving
the country Saturday so there
wasn’t much time to worry about.
From Wednesday to
Saturday life went on as usual for
the people of Leningrad and for
us. There were no groups of
citizens protesting any kind of
unfairness, We waited because
soon we would get the details of
the invasion as the rest of the
world knew them. The Soviet
citizens, however, would never
hear those details.
Only the most aware might
ever think that the rest of the
world might be hearing different
facts from what they were
hearing.
Saturday finally came and
after a minor customs delay we
boarded the plane to Helsinki,
Finland, less than an hour away.
Soon after we arrived at the
institute where we were staying,
we met the group of 33 that had
been in Moscow. We started
swapping rumors in an attempt to
put the pieces together and find
out what really happened, They
had been watching the Kremlin,
but watching it gives little
indication of what's going on
inside.
Someone had heard that
Dubeek, the head of the
Czechoslovakian Communist
Party, had been killed, Someone
else said no, but where was he?
Someone had heard that
China had entered “the war”?
What war? Rumors, rumors and
no one knew anything for sure.
Finally we located an English
language newspaper and
discovered that the rest of the
world was also confused. That was
nice to know and a little bit of the
worry was gone because I knew
that as soon as I found a
newsstand I could find the latest
issue of Time magazine or
Newsweek and have all the tiniest
details at least stated, if not
completely explained. Now I
could relax and let the
kremlinologists figure it out and I
could read it.

It has not come to our notice that the gates that
block the fire lanes have been condemned because of
their impracticalness during the winter months of the
year. The fact that they will be unuseable within a
few months should be reason enough for them to be
taken down. But, there is a greater reason why the
barriers should be destroyed. Their existence causes a
gross disservice to the residences of State and
Colonial Quads.
For instance, a dairy supplier was attempting to fill
the vending machines Sunday, September 22, but
because of the weekend the loading dock on the quad
was locked, The supplier could not deliver his
product to the empty vending machines.
Since there is a shortage of security officers, the
security office stated that they could not be locking
and unlocking doors for all the services that came on
the campus.
If the barriers on State Quad did not exist, that
supplier would have been able to reach the vending
area through Eastman Tower. However, this is not the
case, and it appears that the student on State Quad
will have, like the resident on Colonial, empty
machines on Sundays.
If any student on these quads orders a pizza, he
can expect it to be a bit colder than usual because of
the gates. In order for the pizza man to reach either

absurb distance so that his customer can have -a
luke-warm pizza.
The gates are a disadvantage to businesses in
another sense. Because of the extra time it takes the
deliveryman, whether delivering pizza, subs, drugs or
any other product, the business is actuall receiving
less profit from the deliveries and might eventually
cut out the service.
There is actually no sane reason why the person
who supplies the local newspaper's boxes on the
quads must carry his bundles of papers at 5:00 a.m.
from his idling truck outside the gates to the vending
box where the papers are sold.
WSUA has a transmitter on Colonial Quad. If that
transmitter ever malfunctions when the service docks
are closed, it probably would be turned off and not
serviced immediately since the service men could not
get near the transmitter.
Why do these white barriers remain when they
hinder the connections between students and off
campus services? A seemingly obvious conclusion
could be drawn, but we do not feel that such a
scandalous conclusion is justified. The gates appear to
be solely a product of someone’s limited imagination.
They should be recognized as such and taken down.

Reston, these same men are
“trying to impose the Middle

results could be, at best,
“awkward.” This uncomfortable
feeling that “we are backing into
the future,” could be avoided,
perhaps, if the
McCarthy-Kennedy-Rockefeller
orbit were to swell into something
more than a threat.
That article, however, was
written on June 2, and one week
later Reston’s hope was washed
away with the tears being shed for
Kennedy: the central shaft of the
orbit had been taken away on

Death,’’ declared Reston,
“virtually assures the nomination
of Hubert Humphrey and Richard
Nixon,” the Middle Generation he
spoke of one week before.

Reston was, Kennedy’s death was
indeed the beginning of the end
for the momentum begun by
McCarthy, pursued by his
followers, inspired by crowds,
advocated by the primaries, and
buttressed by the Kennedy myth
which soon joined the march,
along with Rockefeller, against
the Old Guard. By the time of the
conventions, therefore, the
McCarthy pregnancy was
midwived by Strom Thurmond
and Mayor Daley, and large public
sectors had delivered to them the
Middle Generation candidates
they neither chose nor desired.
Hence the Humphrey-Nixon
candidacy is calling for law and

Director Of Peace Corps Blames
Administrators For Campus Unrest
WASHINGTON-Peace Corps
Director Jack Vaughn predicts
continuing protest activities on
college campuses in the coming
year because many school
administrators have not tuned in
to the real cause of unrest among
students.
In an article in the September
issue of Glamour magazine, (on
sale Aug. 20) Vaughn states: “It is
becoming clear that half of
today’s students are out to change
the system-not necessarily our
system but their system of higher
education. I believe they’re right
in thinking it is ready for radical
overhauling.”
The trouble, Vaughn believes,
stems from depersonalization of
higher education and failure to
recognize students as adults
capable of full participation in
society and in educational affairs.
The student is demanding a
personal experience, Vaughn says,
and turns on the school
administration. “If this is to be
reversed, the faculty must be
liberated, and perhaps reoriented
toward the student” the Peace
Corps director says.
He points out, “It may be that
there will be more dissension on
the campus similar to the unrest
which rocked many campuses last
year unless changes ensue in the
decision-making apparatus of
higher education.”
Vaughn’s opinions are based on
the results of a Louis Harris
survey of student attitudes toward
current issues such as Peace Corps
service, the Vietnam war, the civil
rights movement, and student
activism. The Harris poll,
commissioned by the Peace Corps,
was supplemented by in-depth
interviews conducted by Peace
Corps staff members on 12
representative campuses.

“The two most significant
results of our studies,” says
Vaughn, “were the finding that
the real revolutionaries totaled
less than four per cent of the
student population and that one
third of the students were activists
who want to work for reform
within the system.”
According to Vaughn, the
surveys indicated that 11 per cent
of all students are “true
protest-activists;”i.e., those who
comprise the leadership of most
campus protest activities.
However, only four per cent of all
students are “so radical or
anarchistic in their views to be
considered out of communication
with society.”
“There is another 30 per cent
committed to social and political
action but who feel that their
goals can be attained within
existing systems,” Vaughn says.
“add to these groups an
estimated 10 per cent whom we
ean call constructivists-those
committed to social and political
action, but who have not engaged
in dissent or protest movements.”
‘This adds up, Vaughn says, to
approximately 50 per cent of the
student body committed to some
form of social action, ranging
from violent protest to doing
community volunteer work.
Vaughn describes the 50 per
cent who are still uncommitted to
social action as “the remnant of
the ‘silent generation’ of the ’50s.
He points out that the Harris
survey shows a drop in interest in
Peace Corps service among the
four per cent of students who are
radical activists
“But on the other hand, the
rapidly increasing number of the
more moderate activists who were
very interested in the Peace Corps

students likely to volunteer

not to mention the criminal
coddling Supreme Court decisions

Much of the 380%-32%

evils, Whether or not you agree

make this possible, Party
discipline in Congress is
practically nil. Too many
Congressmen and Senators vote

rightly so.
Second, a Conservative Party

the voters a choice, The threat of
third parties would be lessened.
Honesty would be injected into
the campaign. Today if you want
to be President you have to be a
hypocrite;saying one thing to
please a wing of the party, but
believing something else.
A reorganization of parties is the
only way to save the two-party
system. If it is not done, I fear the
emergence of even more third

Mantovani is not sure. “I don’t
understand why we are the only
light orchestra in the world doing
this sort of thing”
Most of the secret undoubtedly
lies in his finely toned
orchestrations. Each facet, like a
diamond, may display a spectrum
of intermingled iridescences, but
as the orchestration turns it is also
a musical prism: the whole is
clearly, almost crisply, delineated
until not one shimmering
spectrum winks out, but a whole
constellation of them; flecks of
warmth among the colder musical
transparencies. The whole piece
becomes a sort of trembling
musical candelabra, and at the
musical center always that clear
melody shining through. These
musical candelalbras may assume
almost any shape~it’s “Catch a

another, but invariably they are

added that the workshop is not
oriented to a final production, as

experiences—the activities—which
are prompted by the child’s
imagination and guided by a
creative dramatics group leader.
She concluded, “All children

A Visual Triumph
“2001” is remarkable for tackling
no less a theme than the cosmic
role of man’s evolving
imagination, On Jupiter Bowman
is taught his place in the universe:
by witnessing his own decay and
death, he can realize where man’s
life is stationed within what Pascal
called “these infinite spaces,”
The space odyssey is a time
odyssey, too—from ape-man to
star-child—so that finally he can
turn from the earth to confront
comprehendingly the beauty of
the universe. This serious and
intelligently treated theme,
combined with visuals of
surpassing grandeur, make “2001”
one of the most fascinating and
exciting of recent films.
State Presents
American Breed;
First Edition
Alan Lasker
The all university concert,
sponsored by Special Board
Events, featuring “The American
Breed” and “The First Edition”
lacked a certain ‘“‘umph,”
The “American Breed” began
the evening with a medley of their
hits followed by a selection of
works that were difficult to
identify with. They tried to
perform well but their efforts
proved futile. A coordination
between the volume of their
music and their voices lacked
harmony, and their songs
contained neither catchy lyrics
nor a pulsating beat.
Their attempts to involve the
audience, which included certain
members of the audience to sing
and dance before their peers,
failed. Their songs were only
mediocre with the exception of
“Bend me, Shape me.” The
“American Breed” lacked a
unique characteristic that could
set them apart from anyone of
their many competitors.
“The First Edition” proved
more entertaining. One. reason
may be due to the fact that
Thelma, their lead female singer,
not only sang with an enchanting
voice but danced quite gracefully
to the public’s satisfaction.

Of Soccer Colleagues
One of the co-captains of this
year’s Varsity Soccer team is
senior John Compeau. In his third
year of soccer for Albany State,
John is one of the two starting
wide halfbacks.
Before coming to Albany, John
lettered in three sports in Central
High School. John earned letters
in football, basketball and
baseball in both his junior and
senior years.
With no previous experience in
high school, John has progressed a
long way to become one of the
outstanding performers for
Albany’s team, Weighing in at
only 150 pounds, John not only
possesses a strong foot, but is also
capable of giving and taking
punishment, John has also played
fullback for Albany thus giving an
indication of his versatility in the
game.
Besides his playing soccer, John
has participated in intramural
sports for Potter Club, of which
he is a member.

Im his freshman year at Albany,
John did not participate in soccer,
but rather was a member of the
Cross-Country squad. Along with
his athletic endeavors, John also
found time to participate in the
Albany State band the first two
years of school.
Albany Harriers
Big Win Over Plattsburgh
Following an opening season loss to Coast Guard, the Albany State Harriers registered a win over
host Plattsburgh State this past Saturday. The final score of the meet was Albany 16, Plattsburgh 45. Last
year, the Albany squad registered a shutout against Plattsburgh’s squad. This year, the Harriers came within
‘one runner of duplicating the feat of crossing the first five runners over the line.
The first three finishers for Albany were Sophomores Larry Fredericks and Pat Gepfertand, and Junior
Paul Roy. The winners finished holding hands as they crossed the line.

Following these three was Don

seconds behind the trio of
winners. The next finisher was a
Plattsburgh man, thus avoiding a
second straight shutout at the
hands of Albany, Senior Paul
Breslin was the fifth man for
Albany in the race.

two wins and one loss. Using a
complicated system of a double

the Albany team was awarded a
win over Montelair, but were

Academy.
This Saturday, the Harriers
travel to LeMoyne to participate
in the LeMoyne Invitational. Last
year, the Great Danes finished

Bill Schiefflin.
Schiefflin received his

University College at Brockport
and his Masters from the
University of North Carolina
before arriving on the Albany
campus in 1964.
Prior to his job as head coach
of the Varsity Soccer team Mr.

Varsity squad for the past three
years, always having been in the
top five finishers for State.
Starting his running career long
before coming to State, Don won
four Cross-Country letters and
four track letters at Cobleskill
Central School. Besides simply
winning these letters, he was also
honored by being chosen as
captain for cross-country in his
junior and senior years, and as
captain of the track squad in his

Besides gaining recognition on
the cross-country and track teams

the nickname, “Dirty Don” by
Coach Munsey to exemplify his
determination and keenness to

Newcomer Jim Handzel
Leads Freshman Soccer
The Freshmen Soccer team is
being coached by a gentleman in
his first year at Albany State.
Jim Handzel, a graduate of
Springfield College is handling the
reins of the team this year as the
coach of last year, Bill Schiefflin
has moved up to take over the
direction of the Varsity squad.
In addition to his duties as
coach of the frosh soccer team,
Mr..Handzel will assume direction
of the Freshman Baseball team
this spring.
Whereas coaching a freshman
team is never easy, Handzel is at
even more of a disadvantage as the
turn out of ballplayers has been
very meager thus far. In a sport
such as soccer, which requires
constant running and repeated
contact, a lack of substitutes is
particularly a disadvantage.
Perfect football weather was
with us Saturday. Both specatator
and player enthusiasm was
generated by the keen
competition of the athletes. In
some ways, however, the spirit of
the players was almost a “kill”
attitude. In instances, it
looked more like tackle football
than “two-hand touch.”
Most attention was focused on
the EEP—STB game. EEP
dominated the first half. A Larry
Myers interception for STB
almost’ broke the deadlock, but
the first half ended with no score.
STB started moving at the start of
the second half, mounting a
steady drive by using short pass
patterns. But the EEP defense

Fifty-Mile Swim Club
Initiated At Albany
It appears very odd,
unfortunately, that few students
and faculty are taking advantage
of the facilities of our beautiful,
new athletic building. In an
attempt to bring use of the pool
to an optimal level and at the
same time encourage personal
physical fitness, a new program
has been added to the activities
available in the physical education
building.
Under the supervision of Miss
Lynnette Martin, the Red Cross
Fifty-Mile Swim and Stay Fit
Program was begun last week in
the State swimming pool.
Any person who possesses a
reasonable swimming ability
eligible to register for
participate in the program.
The only rules
requirements are:
1. A swimmer completes
eighteen laps (1 lap=25 yds.)
during one visit to the pool. The
eighteen laps does not have to be
swum continuously; the swimmer
may stop or rest as often as
necessary and upon completion of
eighteen laps, he should ask the
lifeguard to mark the wall chart
for him,
is
and
and
2, Each participant will receive
individual record card on
completion of his first eighteen
an
laps. On this card he will keep
track of his own swimming
distances. The posted wall chart
will be the official record only to
be adjusted by the guard on duty.
3. Laps swum will only count
when a lifeguard is on duty, but
may not be counted for swimming
done in classes or for swimming
club practice.
For any further clarifications,
contact Lynnette Martin at
457-8936 or Dave Cummings at

Track Club
Step Up To
The Albany State University
track team has been elevated to
the level of a varsity sport. The
track team having operated on a
club basis for the past two years,
will be officially instated on the
varsity level this spring.
Last season’s track club, under
the guidance of R. Keith Munsey
and Mr, Brian Kelly, compiled a
creditable record in view of its
relative inexperience, Facing the
likelihood of a more demanding
schedule coupled with a division
of strength, the 1969 season
should prove formidable.
Phenomenal Record
Held By Coach Munsey
The Albany State Harriers are
being led this year by R. Keith
Munsey. Coach Munsey, who is in
his seventh year as mentor of
Albany’s team has accumulated an
amazing dual meet record of fifty
wins and only six losses. During
his tenure, he has directed two
undefeated teams, while none of
his teams has lost more than twice
in a season.
In addition to coaching the
Varsity Cross-Country team, Mr.
Munsey also has charge of the
freshmen squad. During the
spring, he is director of the newly
formed Track and Field Club. The
‘Track and Field Club which began
only two years ago is expected to
become a varsity team this year.
Before the inception of the
Track Club as a spring sport,
Coach Munsey also served as
mentor of the Freshman Baseball
Team for a number of years.
The fantastic success of Mr.
Munsey’s teams can be attributed
to his outstanding ability to not
only recruit top-notch runners,
but to develop their capabilities
when they arrive on campus.
Working under the handicap of
not being able to offer a
scholarship of any kind, Coach
Munsey is still able to attract
runners of high ability.
How well he develops them
when they get here is
demonstrated by his .893
won-lost percentage.
With Narrow 3-2 Victory
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
by Phil Kahn
Saturday afternoon the Albany soccer team suffereg their second straight setback at the hands of RPI in
areal heartbreaker 3-2. The game was a real thriller with RPI getting off to a quick lead on a goal by Crosby
at 9:20 of the first period. The Danes played ins;
goal on their arch-rival from
Troy. But they just couldn’t seem
to find the nets in the first half.
Much to their dismay, however,
RPI did, on a penalty kick by
Crosby, who had had a one on
one with goalie Rich Rankin until
he was tripped by Phil Kahn in
the penalty area. The goal came at
3:47 of the second.This broke the
hearts of the Albany players as
they watched weeks of
preparation go down the drain.
The defense play aggressive, tough
soccer in the first half but the
forwards just didn’t seem to have
the necessary drive
determination. The first
ended with RPI leadin: 9-¢
and
half
Part of the game swategy had
been to handeuff Tom Conroy
(Number 9) who is RPI’s leading
scorer (last year he scored fifteen
times).
Albany came out of the locker
room a new team, for the second
half. The third period started off
innocently enough, but you could
see the marked difference in the
State players. They were
aggressive and began to push RPI
all over the field.
But RPI wouldn’t be denied,
and at 10:20 of the third, Lock
put their third goal in the nets on
a pass from Munkittrich that
goalie Rich Rankin could not get
control of, With absolutely
nothing to lo now, the Danes
played with reckless abandon and
finally began to upset and break
through the RPI defenses. The
game was now drawing to a close
and still Albany hadn’t scored.
Preparing
Varsity
The transformation from the
club level to the varsity level
should have the ironic effect of
diminishing overall team
effectiveness. While operating on
the club basis there was no
distinction between varsity and
freshman.
Insufficient depth, particularly
prevalent in the varsity area, will
likely result from this division.
The completion of the beautiful,
eight-lane, tartan-surfaced track
will make home meets possible.
Coach Munsey reports that the
port-o-pits, huge foam rubber
cushionsemployed as landing areas
in the high jump and pole vault
events, have been received by the
athletic department.
This is a long awaited for and
much appreciated addition, as it
allows the vaulters and jumpers to
practice on home territory.
Coach Brian Kelly, last year’s
field coach, has initiated a fall
track program, Track and field is a
sport which requires an inordinate
amount of conditioning. This
program is designed with the
intent of encouraging all
prospective spring participants to
engage in moderate conditioning
efforts throughout the year, thus
mitigating the aches and pains
normally associated with the
opening weeks of spring practice.
Mr, Kelly has also arranged an
interesting decathalon program.

test of physical endurance,

LacrosseClub
Holds Clinic
The Lacrosse Club, which was
formed this past spring, is
planning a clinic for this fall, with
hopes of scheduling a few
scrimmages with other teams in
the area.
The primary purpose of the
clinic, however, is to provide a
chance for those who played last
year to further refine their skills.
In addition to providing an
opportunity for these players the
clinic is also open to anyone
wishing to try their hand at the
sport for the first time.
Last spring, the Lacrosse Club
was extremely successful as they
won all but one of their games
which they tied. The club saw
outstanding performances by
many of their members and with
the added practices this fall, the
team should be able to maintain
their winning ways.
Practices will start today for
anyone interested in trying out
for the team.
