Citizens Protest Silencing of Priest,
Petition in Support of Bonaventure

Repercussions from the
silencing of Father Bona-
venture O’Brien continue
to loom large over most
of the Albany area,

Father Bonaventure was active in
helping Negroes learn their rights,
especially regarding thelr voting
rights, He was a poll watcher dur-
ing the recent general election and
questions several of the illegal prac
ices at the poll places,

Mrs, Charles Rorle was one of the
first South Enders to complain of
Father Bonaventure’s silencing, She
has been active in the Better Homes
and Community group which has
been active in Albany's South End,

Mrs, Rorle was one of the leaders
of the prayer meeting at Trinity In-
stitute which drew 350 South Enders

as well as about 100 college students,
mostly from Steva,

The tiusban of the secretary of
the Better Homes and: Community

Most of the people interested in
the program do not give indications
of fearing the machine, Those who
have committed themselves to the
suppof.of Father Bonaventure are
remaining firm in their determina-
tion.

On Mars Botany

Noted plant biologist Dr/ Frank
Salisbury will speak on plant biology
with respect to life on Mars, Mon-
day afternoon, November 22, The
talk 1s sponsored by the Biology
Club and the biology department,

The author of two books, Thc
Flowering Process" and ‘Truth
by Reason and Revelation’ (science
and religion), Dr, Salisbury is a
professor of plant physiology at
Colorado State University, He re~
ceived his B.S, and M.A, from the
University of Utah and his Ph.D,
from California Institute of Tech~
nology.

In 1962 and 1963, Dr. Salisbury
spent time in Germany and Austria
as a National Science Foundation
Fellow, At that time, he toured all
the major plant laboratories in Eu-
rope and in Moscow,

Presently, his research concerns
the phystology of flowering and space

intensity light, life on Mars), under
the National Science Foundation, the
National Institute of Health, and the
National Aeronautical and Space Ad-
‘ministration,

work of Father Bonaven-

visor and as a sriend.’’ He said that
he was “amazed that the Diocese of
‘Albany and the Holy Name Province
of the Franciscan Order have seen
fit to limit his activities.”

Bosis of Chan;

Father O'Brien, according . to
Martin, “has realized that social
progress means institutional
change, and he has worked for this
change.” $

Martin concluded his statement
with the statement: I have only
the greatest respect and love for
the Catholic Church and its teach-
ings. Yet in this case It seems to
me that the Church has openly con-
tradicted its own teachings,””

This statement was applauded
longer and more loudly than any of
the other statements made, Many
of the students who were seated In
the “stands rose to applaud him,

The student leaders who spoke
emphasized the points that their
objection was to the Church's attl-
tude, that 1t was the Church action
which is culpable, and that the stu-
dent role is to enforce the protests
and desires of the South Enders,

Unmecningful Method

To do otherwise, they concluded,
would be to be labelled irrespon=
sible demonstrators.

In the question period which fol~
lowed, several students raised the
question of whether supporting the
South Enders showed sufficient sup=
port for Father O'Brien,

‘The vast majority seemed to sup=
port the reply that a demonstration
of students would be dismissed as
meaningless

: Broken Relay in Tanita Blamed

For Northeastern

by Barbara Blodgett

The ‘black out” that
‘darkened Albany and most
of the Northeast last week
has been attributed to a
broken relay at a Canadian
power plant on the Niagara
River.

‘The break tn the relay was caused
by excessive overloading of the six
power lines golng into the Slr Ad
Beck plant number 2 in Queenston
Ontarlo. Over 1.6 million tlowatt

¢ belng pumped into this plant
at one time, and Its capacity was
hot great efiough to ineet such a
demand.

As the relay broke, the 1.6 mil-
Hon kilowatts were transferred to
U.S, distributing facilities, causing
a rapid increase of frequency and
a massive surge of power that
could not be hauled.

ROBERT COHEN DISCUSSES the Common Market before Forum

of Politics Monday afternoon.

Truthfulness Not

a Prerequisite

For the Profession of Diplomacy

“The diplomat is not re-
quired to tell the truth, in
fact he is not expected to
tell the truth, Telling the
truth is not his business,”

‘This was one of Dr, Robert Ole
tver’s main points 1n his analysis
of the “Speech of Diplomacy: Ap=
pearance vs, Reality.” He spoke
before an auidlence of more than
400 Monday night as part of the
“America at Mid-Century” Sym~
poslum series.

Oliver s presently chalrman of
the department of speech at Pen-
nysivania State University, He spent
over twenty years in the eld of
diplomacy, however, and illustrated
many of his points with personal
experiences,

No Distinction

Oliver undertook the task of clear=
{ng up public misconceptions of the
diplomatic profession, One popular
misconception 18 that diplomats
from different countries poss
distinct characteristics, ‘That
French diplomats are sly, British
diplomats cauy and Russian diplox
mats not to he trusted,

On the contrary said Oliver, “The
rules of the diplomatie profession
are pretty much the same all over
the world,’” Diplomats,
ent countries regard
almost as fraternity brothers, united
In the effort of keeping the peace,

While the countries they repre=
Sent may viticlally hate each otlier,
diplomats are often close frien
This is due partly to the fact that
a diplomat 1s a puppet speaker,
speaking to a shadow audience,"

The diplomat has uo power or
authority to determine policy or
work out compromises with other
diplomats, He can only convey the
officlal potley of hs government
and take the stands they want to
take.

Truth of Littl Import

Ih showing how policy is deter+

mined in Washington, Oliver x=

plalned that diplomacy: has its own

athies.”* Under this code of ethtes,

the ti "or “the truth’! play
Aittle part,

When a crisis such as the one
In Cuba arises, two groups of men

(lon and of various courses of action,

to other ‘ations, 18 Hol expected (0

Truth Actually Harmful

‘The truth may actually harm the
countryts position, as in the Use
spy {neldent In 1960, When Power's
plane was shot down over [tussta,

"aur State Department spoke right

up and Med about tt.” Two days later
in a press conference, President
Elsenliower admitted that Powers
was on a spy mission, Russia tm=
mediately gained an advantage {n
international relations, and can-
celled the scheduled summit con«
ference.

When asked why he had made
such an admission, Eisenhower re=
plied, “Because it is true.’ Said
Oliver, “That is the poorest excuse
for that sort of blunder,*

Oliver also criticized newspapers
such as the “New York Times” for
demanding that the government give

people the facts of an Issue,
his {s the kind of stupidity that
no newspaper should indulge In,"

‘The University of Color-
ado held'a ‘tbitch-in’’ sev-
eral weeks ago during
which time 2,800 students
were able to complain
through the ‘proper chan-
nels,’?

‘The “bitch-in"” recetved total ad-
ministrative support as they sup-
plied the students with everything
down to coffee and donuts.

‘The entire evening was organized
under the guidance of Howard Hig-
man, a sociology professor. Students
say that Higman speaks their lan
guage as he attends their parties,
drinks with them, and responds
happily when students call him at
3a, for a talk,

Began at 10 P.
The “biteh-In’? began at 10 p.m,
and by 4 a.m, the last stragglers
were finished bitching, At times it
appeared that the evening might
turn into a circus, with effect meas~
ured more In terms of oratorical
adeptness than actual complaints,
Reason, or the word most {re~
quently heard throughout the eve~
ning, “responsibility,”” was quickly
restored by a hard-core group of
fifty student leaders, These leaders
sald that the purpose of the entire
evening was to find out Af student
opliton existed on questions of ed=
cational reform, academic free=
dom, and administrative control,
as they felt It did,
‘They were searching essentially
for a “mandate for action.”

Dismisses Critics

‘The leaders dismissed all critics
who felt the evening was an admin
istrative plot to try and level off
student protest by giving it a vocal
*etting-oft-steam,”

Seating was not avallable for halt
of the early crowd; many sat, slept
and did homework on the ‘floor,
while others wandered in and out,

Outside, the ballroom where the
‘“ ludents mitted

about, most of then trying to
of a “bitch” they might air.

‘One brunette from California
walked back and forth wrapped in
red ribbon. with a sign on her back
stating “I protest the red tape at
the University of California,

On the ballroom ceiling hung a
$1,000 mobius strip built by IBM
for a special conference they had
at the University. It was an endless
strip, on which light can carry and
never cross itself,

‘Analogy Made

‘This caused an observer to re-
mark that it was a little like the
university — built by sclence and
running around in a never ending
circle tring to find itself.”

While all the students who talked
were the ‘normal student type” =
no bearded or sandaled rebels —
there were virtually no faculty or
administration speakers. Both had
expressly been invited to attend,

‘The loudest “bitches” of the en=
tire evening came from the night

crew of janitors, who are used to
having the Memorial Center, where
the program was held, locked at
1pm

They complained to each other
loudly of those “complaining stu-
dents” -=-="All that’s going to
come of this will be coffee and
stains and cigarette butts on the
floor,” one janitor sax’, “I didn't
even’ intend to have to mop

place, but I guess I'll have to now.’

ocedure Protested
‘The actual bitching procedure was
in itself protested by several stu-
dents. When they entered the room,
they were given an IBM card with «
number, and their speeches, timed
five-minute complaints, were called
out by number.

This seemed to many a gross
example of everything wrong with
today’s “multiversity’’: the 11531
machines even controlled thelr pro
tests.

= BG ARDLESS OF
CHURCH, RE RECOUNIZE. ‘THEIR TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT
AND LEAD OTHERS TOWARD IT WHILE PURSUING IT. THEM:

FACT: In recent months, there appeired in the area an additional active,
vital foree working tor the betterment of man and the promulgation
of true Christian principles.

This force wes manifested by an individual who had the courage
to criticize lethargic political machine, ari apatheticcitizenry, and
@ Church authority lacking in conviction —' by & man who not only
criticized the social 1ijusttce that he witnessed, but who also truly
bore witness to the Christ to whom he is dedicated,

‘The Caancery of the Diocese of Albany has brought about a situs=
tion in which the aforementioned individual is not allowed to involve
‘himself in community action in any manner —cannot fully follow the
Christian conviction and seek Christ in men,

PRINCIPLE: 1. In today’s world, many men seek a true and valid con=
cept of Christianity. Many have come to the conclusion that Christ
must be found in man — they believe that a Christian must become
involved with men, and that by dedicating their lives to the, cause of
humanity, they are, in fact, living for and in Christ,

To be truly Christian, one must fight deprivation of human
rights, destruction of self-respect, and social injustice of all types.
One must seek Christ in the betterment of man,

2, Any human being has, by his nature, the right to express opin=
fons and to follow his convictions, Moreover @ Christian has the
right to pursue fulfillment of his Christian responsibilitie

3, Leaders of groups within the Church have the responsibility
to direct human activity toward Christianity.

, Speaking in positive terms, 1eaders of the Cathouc diocese
must be active forces in the profession of true Christian con=
cepts. They must both speak out themselves, and encourage others
to fight social injustice and degradation of human beings, They
must manifest, by action, the cause of the Christ they claim to
follow,

Upon examining the present situation, we see that, in Albany,
the hierarchy of the Church 1s ignoring its own responsibilities,
Moreover, the diocese 1s actively prohibiting an individual from
attempting to fulfill his personal commitment,

We call ton the Diocese of Albay fo gids its merabers toward
Christ, We ask that it give witness to its professed bel
it recognize and act according to its Christian responsi ities We We
urge that it risk any political insecurity that might ensue, and we
express our belief in the abilities of a directed, faithful community
to overcome this.obstacle,

Moreover, we demand that the Diocese of Albany no longer pre:
vent or discourage the Christian involvement of man, We desire to
see, at the very least, 'a policy promulgated by the hierarchy which
will enable a Christian to fulfill his commitment without negative
actions being taken by the diocese to prevent him.

We fail to see how the diocese could possibly prohibit Christian
action, and we have not heard comment to the effect that the actions
taken were either un-Chrigtian or against Chureh doctrine, Conse~
quently, we must call upon the Bishop to stop this hypocritical meth~
od of avoiding responsibility on the part of the diocesan hierarchy,

Furthermore, we have already noted that united action by a large
number of faculty and administration would have prevented the si=
lencing of one man, We suggest that in unity there truly is strength,
We urge the administration and the faculty, by their actions and ex-
pressed opinions, to take their place jers in a Christian aca-

jemic community, We ‘urge them to lead us in Christian action. We
suggest that Siena take a more active interest in the community, We
feel that the ideals of the academic community are such that all ine
volved must attempt to relate their education to human advancement
and to God, and we ask that the College authorities create an atmos
phere in which a student can broaden his outlook to include the
realization of the responsibilities of his position as an educated
Christian in the world,

Virtually everyone living in Stuyvesant Tower pro- z

* claims: favorable opinions regarding the view from

most floors of the tower. Students marvel at the im-
provement of -the Loose nae to Waterbury and
especially the old jouses.

Batre dl is pkey in a series of suites. As one
arrives on a given floor from the elevator or from
the stairs, one is in a centrally located area. At the
two ends of a small hall there are doors leading to
the suites, There are four suites on each floor.

If a floor is an elevator stop, there is a lounge
and two four man suites and two six man suitea,On
the other floors there is no lounge and four six man
suites,

Many of the lounges have television sets. The
lounge in the Potter section features the only color
television in the tower, Where a fraternity occupies
an area, the lounge will tend to be filled with paddles,
banners, and, especially in Potter’s case, many
trophies.

Most of the students interviewed complained of the
isolation of the’new campus and remarked that the

absence of a Snack Bar is felt almost universally.

Several of the men in fraternities said that rushing
has been more fifficult, but again, conditions were
expected to improve when most everyone is living on

the same campus,

None of the many suites had the six desks in the
so-called study area, At least two and as many as all
six desks were moved into the ‘sleeping’? rooms by

the students,

The reactions of students who lived in the low rise
new campus residence halls were noted, Several stu-
dents said that it was much quieter in the tower be-
cause of the absence of a central study lounge with

eight surrounding rooms.

Those non-affiliated students who lived on the same
floor as 18 fraternity men shared the views of fra-
ternity men that the situation was not desirable. The
problems were those of lacking common interest:
The independents do feel at home with the Greeks,
and they tend not to know the mena floor or two above

who are also independent.

Many students said that they were hoping the new
library could be opened for study purposes, Their
complaints were based on the absence of comfortable
study areas outside their own suites. The U-lounge is
comfortable to sit in, but the tables are the wrong
height for studying. (These tables were not intended
to be used as desks and are being used stop-gap

fashion.)

One active independent complained that the presence
of the Greeks with their self-centered interests de-
tracts from general interest in Tower projects such

as the Christmas sing.

THE PROGRESS ON THE wer
demic complex and
rangle can be seen in this 5:

One,.man complained that there is no Jake’s, no
Walt’s and no Joe’s near the new campus. Another
commented that participating in AMIA sports was
difficult because it means an extra trip to the old
campus,

Freshmen were unable to compare previous col-
lege experiences, but their views were fully as vocal
as the upperclassmen,

The Frosh, like the upperclassmen, complained of
the number of hours spent each week on the buses,
“no matter what any survey shows.’?

The rooms tended to be crowded because of the
presence of desks in the sleeping rooms, One frosh
said he thought the unofficial sports program on the
new campus was great,

Students do a good deal of cooking on the new cam-
pus. Many import food. Cans and boxes of food
could be seen all over, There were several empty
boxes from Andy’s pizza,

Col, Walter Tisdale, Assistant to the President
for Plant Planning, at Monday's weekly press con-
ference stated that a great deal of planning has been
done to provide for student needs and comfort.

He pointed out that his office is eager to hear con-
structive complaints from the students living in the
tower and in the low-rise residence halls, He stated
that a remarkable job had been done so far.

He said that there have to be rough spots and he
admitted that there have been some mistakes. He said
that the staff of the Tower is almost completely new
men, Some will not make the grade, but the funds are
available for additional workers if they are needed.

Accidents caused by the slipperiness of the tubs
have been dealt with. Phone calls were made and
letters were written within 24 hours of the first ac-
cident report. Rough strips will be placed on the tub
floors to prevent accidents in the future, This is one
example of the efficiency of dealing with complaints
when they are brought to the attention of the right
people,

In this situation the picture is com-
plicated by the apparent fact that the
local political machine and the Church
are not separate,

The men of Siena are correct in
centering their attention on the Church’s
error, The action of the Church was ap-
parently at the request of the city. The
city deservés to be criticized to the
extent of its role. The Church’s attitude
is not only inhumane, it is unjust andun-
Christian.

Fraternity. Influence

A fraternity can exist on many levels.
One of these. levels is that on which the
group has an effect on an individual out-
side the group.

The Edward Eldred Potter Club, better
known as Potter, has been working onan
individual who is not even technically a
member of the University community.

There is a man who has been seenand
continues to be seen around the campus
with many of the men in Potter, He is,
or at least was, a high school drop out.
At least partially through the influence
of several members of Potter, he isnow
back in high school.

We do not believe that this is any
heroic action either by Potter or by the
individual. We recognize its importance
for the individual. We congratulate the
men who exercised what influence they

appeal, for ‘work. asa ghost. writer. It
seems indicative of the state of affairs
which has come about since the end of
Campus Commission and the political
retirement of Pat Creen. -

There has been‘no control of the stu-

can sit in the boxes once regularly

The parking lot is in miserable shape.
The parking habits of many of our stu-

‘The posters, once regulated, approved,
shung and taken down by the Campus Com~-
mission, are now placed everywhere and
are now worded and desigifed in manners
varying from artistic to offensive:

The ghost writer poster on a bulletin
board intended for publicizing University
events is a symbol of the present lack
of control of posters.

The Solicitations Commission has is-
sued a notice telling those people who
violate their rules to admit their guilt
and remove their illegal posters.

This is not the way to achieve a
controlled situation, We do not consider
it necessarily to be the job of the So-
licitations Commission to police the
walls of the campus,

A determination should be made and
made soon as to who should do this
needed job,

Negotiations With

Vietnam. Begin

Without Preconditions to Peace

by D. Gordon Uphom

A great many people mistakingly
believe that the United States wi
begin unconditional negotiations with
the antagonistic parties involved in
South Vietnam, This only partly true.

President Johnson has repeatedly
maintained that no conditions exist.
But upon further examination, one
discovers that he really means that
the United States will negotiate with~
‘out preconditions for a peace.

Preconditions are different from
conditions, By preconditions, it 1s
meant that no concessions be made
prior to negotiating, The North Vie
namese have stated preconditions
‘as prerequisites to negotiating.

‘The United States, on the other
hand, to negotiate if certain
objectives will be reached by the
negotiations, In other words, the
United States will discuss the war
with North Vietnam and/or the Viet
Cong only if the agreement which
is made embodies thedemands made
by the United States,

Similarity of Positions

The North Vietnamese position
requires the United States to make
concessions prior to a peace cén-
ference. The most important of
these concessions 1s that the Uni
ted States withdraw its troops from
South Vietnam and that South Viet~
nam be free from foreign domina
tlon,

‘The United States also requires
that any solution must allow South
Vietnam to be free from foreign

domination.
‘Tne North Vieuwamese would gain
from the withdrawal of U, S,:troops

Il as a precondition, The reason for

this 1s clear. Not long after the
withdrawal, the government of South
Vietnam would be overthrown by
native South Vietnamese Commu-
nists and other members of the
National Liberation Front. This
would be without any foreign inter=
ference.

If the conditions proposed by the
United States were accepted by North
Vietnam, the United States would be
able to remain in South Vietnam
until elections could be held which
would be free from forelgn (Com
muntst) influence,

rower Positions Chonging

‘At present both sides have re~
fused to compromise the principl
which they have stated, North Vi
nam in the past was in the better
position and was not willing tocom=
promise because of the successes
of the Viet Cong, North Vietnam is
now beginning to realize that the
United States Is Lmproving ts post~
tion in South Vietnam, and this may

cause North Vietnam’ to reevaluate
{ts stance,

‘The United States is gradually
changing the positions of power in
Vietnam, The repeated bombings of
Worth Vietnam, which are gradually
destroying the basis of the Indus~
trial economy, and the increasingly
superior military advantage in South
Vietnam are guaranteeing that any
settlement will be largely on terms
decided by the United States,

Questions Silencing
To tne Edltors:

‘The ‘silencing’ of Father Bona-
venture of Siena College raises some
interesting points which the Catholic
Church, of at least its representa-
tives in the Albany diocese, is going
to have to consider and’ answer,

1) Since Father Bonaventure’s
actions were the application of the
Christian ethic, are we to assume
that the Church maintains a dual
nature: a Catholic ethic anda Chris=
tan responsibility?

If there {5 no distinction between
the two then obviously the party
responsible for ‘calling-off the
priest has abandoned his proper duty
as a cleric in reaction \o outside
pressures,

2) In ‘the current Ecumenical
movement, the Church is making
commendable efforts to more ac-
tively relate itselfto a contemporary
environment, to take & more ener=
getic role in alleviating the particu-
lar problems of this generation,

Is the Albany diocese so far r
moved from the Ecumenical spirit
that {t can negate its social obli-
gations, or $s this, after all, the
true depth of the Ecumenical move-
‘ment itself?

3) Finally, what value does Cath-
ollcism, oF its Albany representa
tives, Place upon Individual cons-

clence if it can so arbitrarily refute
and stifle the moral efforts of a
rational man?

Does the Church of Rome com-
pletely invalidate the possibility of
morality and rationality onany level
but that of offictal dogma?

The most tragic result of this
action 1s that questions like these
must arise at all, Ifthis action were,
as it now appears to be, simply a
desire to avold political involvement
as a result of Father Bonaventure’s
outspoken participation in contro=
versial issues, it was a poorly cal~
culated risk,

Political neutrality in this in-
stance could only be purchased at
the price of moral neutrality, As
it 4s now, the ‘censoring’ of Slena's
theologian must provoke serious and
sobering thoughts on the Church's
role in the community and the extent
of {ts commitment toa soctal gospel,

It {6 to be hoped that the answers
will reflect the convictions of Asaph
who charged the Christian tot

‘Give Justice to the weak and
the fatherless; maintain the
right of the afficted and
the destitute,

Rescue the weak and the needy:
deliver them from the hand
of the wicked,!?

- Building Better Bridge

by Horry Nuckols

Jolin Mureness, 2 part-time stu-

ait here at State, has been this
riter's frequent partner in many
yplicate games in this area. He

s been playing bridge for only a

ry short time, but has already

quired many of the skills of a
ine player.

‘This week's hand was played by
jureness a short time ago in a

me in town, North's first bid
howed a real club sult and about

i opening bid, Soutl’s bid of five
pales was excellent, It was really

sacrifice attempt, his htand is bad
for defense,

Mureness won the opening lead
1: the dummy and played the king
nd ace of trump, exhausting the
ponents, He then ted a low club
trom his hand, West rose with the
luce and returned another diamond,

‘This almost has to be the correct
play, If South has a singleton club,
fhe rnust wave fve cards tn the red
suits, and must give up either a
Jdiamnond trick and one or more
fiearts, or he must lose two heart
tricks eventually.

The diamond return was trumped
ts the South hand and the pressure
pn West was applied by playing out
all the remaining trump from the
South han, West ean afford tu pitch
is diamond and one card tn each
pt the other sults, but when the last
unp 48 played, he's

Belore the last trump is pl
we dummy Is down to one heart
nd four clubs. If West iisearis a

club on the Jast spage, the heart is
discarded and the duinmy's clubs
are all good,

If, as was the case, West throws
the heart queen, South'can still dis~
card a heart from the dummy and
lead his ten of clubs, If West cov=
ers, dummy’s clubs are good.

If he doesn't (he didn't), a heart
lead puts him in, and he must lead
a club to the duminy, This, as you
probably guessed, is called a
squeeze play, It is one of the most
difficult plays to recognize, and it
15 also a lot of fun to make,

Panel Discusses Works of Ayn Rand
Raises Question of Social Welfare

by Cynthia Goodman

One
pects of the
November

of the most fascinating ase
Ayn Rand panel held
Srd was the contrast be=
‘aud what
the panel had intended to discuss.

Despite the valiant efforts of the
panel, the diseussion inexorabl

moved from a philosupliical esan=
ination of Objectivism, 10 a study of
Ayn’s economie, political and social

contest,
Dr, Mark Berger precipitated the
move when he injected tuto the cot

Ver'sation the question of social wel=

“Rational Self-Internist"*

One of the key phrases used tn
the course of the eveulig Was "ra~
tional self-interest, ””a phrase which
Miss Ruud uses to describe her
beliess.

As Lester Greenberg outlined lis
position (which he emphasized was
his iuterpretation of Objectivism
and in no way a ‘commitment? of
Miss Rand), the most compelling
reasons for ‘charity? would le not

Back 10 Philosophy
Philosophy had been the starting
point of the panel discussion al-
though it was rapidly obscured,
Roger initially responded (o the
question of why Objectivism was
popular by saying that he and others
were ‘uissatisfied’ with the doc
trines that were put forth an the
past,

The trend of philosophy, he felt,
was toward an assertion that man
ould know nothing through reason,
yet reason was the only means
int fed enough for man tu follow,

Objectivism, huwever, he

Mr, Grimes indicated throughout
the discussion that his objections

phy that concerned itselt
with man’s selffultitiment, rather
at the program that Ayn Rand pree
sents as a means to self-ful illmont,

It ts highly doubtful that the panel

‘adverse about a film which other
wise should be highly lauded, It is
‘disturbing to have to say, in spite
of all a film's excellent qualities =
superb filming, top-notch acting, a
‘trong, ‘forceful screenplay — that
somewhere along the line someone
important made a blg mistake, a
mistake that shows up with nagging
persistence throughout the film,
Such 18 the case with Kenneth Hy-
man’s production of The Hill,”

he Hill’? is the film verston of
the Ray Rigby story sbout sadism
and inhumanity in a British prison
compound during World War I. It
stars Sean Connery, Ossle Davis
and Harry Andrews and was directed
by veteran Sidney Lumet.

On the whole it is a stunning film,
bold, startling and brutally realis-
tle, and therein Hes {ts problem —
it Is too realistic, too authentic to
be appreciated by even some of the
artefilm audience, much less the
general public,

British Army Life

“The IL" concerns British
Army life in the Second World War,
specifically a North African com=
pound for the “bad sort” of British
soldier's who have been convicted
of various offenses and sent (here
for punishinent,

‘The hill Itself is @ steeply-sloped
mass of rock and sand over which
the Inmates are made to hike with
full pack equipment, usually until
they drop. The baste plot of the
film Jnvolves the struggle of one
cell block of these men against the
tyranny of their sadistic keeper

Difficult Dialogue

‘This may all sound fine and dandy,
ad deed the screenplay is excel
Jent, The only problem, and it sa
big one, 1s that a good

1 of the dialogue ts
to decipher, or totally Incompre~
henstble, Lumet has tried toachteve
the ultimate in realism tn this film
and his good intentions are to be
highly praised,

Hence, to any British Army regu
Jar, or for that matter, any British
filimgoer, the fim’s dialogue will
probably’ not prove to he the least
bit disturbing, However, the aver=

military language and custom, is
very likely to become annoyed by
the mumbled, incomprehensible dia.
logue, During a number of scenes in
the film, some of them five to ten
minutes In length, the viewer may
have trouble catching even one word
out of three,

It 1s unfair to make a viewer have
to strain and lean forward in his
seat, his hand cupped around his
ear, trying to decipher dialogue as if
he were at a foreign flim without
subtitles.” If Hyman and Lumet had
been content to settle just for art
house patrons, thelr sin would not
have been as great as it {s, and the
dialogue might have been excused,
But they both must have kilown,
surely, that fo place a top box of
fice star like Connery in the lead
was to open the film to the eyes of
the general movie public,

Lumet Gets Blame

Much of the blame for the film's
muddied dialogue Hes with the di-
rector, Sidney Lumet, Lumet on the
whole ‘does a fine job with “The
HH.” ‘The actors all perform ad=
mirably under him, his camera work
ts exceptional, even for him, and he
handles the subject matter intellt-
gently and with purpose, But it
seems that Mr. Lumet, possibly
striving for a higher art than his
previous films had achieved, may
have forgotten that his’ film was,
as are all Anglo-American films,
primarlly made to be shown to an
English-speaking audience,

True Merits
However, all this eriticism must
not be mistaken as demeaning the
true merits of an {mportant
noble film, It is merely a qu
ing factor that each filmgoer
consider before he makes hi:
ciston to see the film. For, apart
from the annoyance of the garbled
dialogue, here 1s a film of great
conviction and purpose, a frighten-
ing stwly of the inhumanity of men
and of the uselessiess of outmoded
discipline ‘tneasures tn a modern
army of intelligent human beings.

Gems of Acting
Netther must the dialogue prob=
1 be allowed to overshadow some
real gems of acting. Harry Andrews
gives a strong, absolutely convincing

Performance of the Sergeant-Major
who “runs. is: camip. according .to
‘outmoded Victorian rules of disci=
pline, Ossie Davis, as a West In-
dian prisoner, te great to say the
least and in the scene where he
throws off his uniform and declares
his. independence of the British
Army, he {s hilarious, Davis is sure
to garner a few armloads of awards
for his fine portrayal,

007 Acts

Sean’ Connery's performance 1s
everything the critics have sald of
it, It may indeed prove a shock to
many to discover that James Bond
can really act. He Is strong and
competent, though not extraordi-
nary, throughout the flim, Although
he 18 often over'siiadowed by Davis,
when he finally gets to play a highly
dramatic scene with the Sergeant
Major (Andrews), he 1s astonishly
good,

Despite its faults, The f111” ts
definitely worth seeing, The dia
logue, thank goodness, ts most of
the time not really important enough
to distract the viewer from what is
aking place in the scene and usually
the action Is suffictent in itself to
convey the purpose of the scene,
The viewer, however, is forewarned,

s by Diane Somerville
The 1965-1966 State University Theatre season has
heen one full of firsts for the department; the first
production in the fifty-first season at State, the fi
design hy a new technical director, the first four
night run in Page, the first musical under State Uni-
versity Theatre auspices, and, in December, the first
major production to be done in chamber theatre style
John Cheever’s celebrated novel ‘The Wapshot Si
dal,"” adapted by director Ross Stephen, began re
hearsals in mid-October, and will premiere on De-
cember 8,

Chamber Theatre
Regarded at times with some of the wonder usually
reserved for such phenomena as nuclear fission and
childbirth, chamber theatre is neither mysterious nor
difficult to understand: it is, in essence, a technique
for presenting narrative fiction behind a proscenium,
taking full advantage of available theatrical devices
Without sacrificing the narrative clements. The work
presented retains the original form, differing only in
that lines (often in the third person) are assigned to
specific individuals.

Norrate Central Figure,

The central figure in the production becomes the
harvator who has the task of providing background
and transition, allowing the audience to sce and un-
derstand the workings of the story — to function as
would the reader, He provides the link which allows
the work to exist on two structural levels, the nar-
rative and the dramatic,

Conecived in the last deeade by Dr. Robert Breen
or Northwestern University, chamber theatre re-
ceived its Albany debut on April 13, 1965, with an
English evening production of D, H. Lawrence's
“Two Bluebirds” and Katherine Anne Porter's The
Jilting of Granny Weatherall,” also directed hy Mr.
Stephen,

As a critical technique for understanding fiction,
chamber theatre makes no attempt to dramatize all
fiction; it secks solely to embody that criticism by

ans of the stage.

ment which the University’s
P. Commitee on the Arts is working
“out with the New York State Council
| on the Arts, The announcement was
made by Dr. Paul G, Bulger, presi-
‘dent! of the College at Buffalo and
chairman of the Committee on the
Aris,

‘The council on the arts was rep-
resented at the Committee's last
meeting by Robert E, Armstron
Special Programs Associate, He
said the Council is prepared to
recommend talent and, in some
cases, to provide partial support
for visits to college campuses by
leading artists during which in
tensive short-term instructional
programs, such as lecture-dem-
onstrations, concerts, workshops,
‘and seminars, could be conducted,

Cost Reduced
Mr, Armstrong pointed out that
the cost of these instructional pro~
grams could be further reduced if
a number of colleges in one region
of the State can schedule the appear=
ance 0° the artists involved on a
cooperative basis and thus lower
fees and transportation costs. The
committee has agreed toassist those
campuses interested in cooperative
scheduling,

ate University Co
Yorks on Instructi

The Committee on the Arts also
agreed to inform all University cam-
uses from time to time of art ex-
hibits organized by the Council on
the Arts. Cooperative scheduling by
neighboring campuses could serve
to reduce the transportation costs
involved,

Collaboration with the couneil on
the Arts is only one of the avenues
through which the Committee hoped
to nurture the development of the
arts within the University.

Other activities contemplated by
the Cominittee include the exchange
of faculty and student artists among
State University campuses; the dis~
semination of the work of these
artists outside the University com~
‘munity-through art exhibits, for ex-
ainple; and periodic conferences on
the arts,

Membership of Committee
‘The membershtp of the Committee

Persichetti Lectures

Un Modern Materials.

by John Spross

Last Saturday evening Albany
State was host to one of the fore=
most of contemporary composers.

Introduced as “planist, organ=
Ast, scholar and
edie Dr. Vincent Perst-
chetti presented a lecture-recital
on “The Materiats of the Contem=
porary Composer.

During the lecture, the audience
was given a glimpse of the varied
talents of this modern mustelan,
His comments revealed a vast mu-
sical knowledge, as well as a ready
wil, and his musical tlustrations
demonstrated a brilliant plano tech=
nique, Through these various ele-
ments, Dr. Persichetti attempted
to show that contemporary Amert-
can composers use as thelr ma=
terials ali cf the musical {nnova-
tions of the twentieth century,

Unfamiliar History

Beginning with the relatively un=
famillar history of American music,
Dr. Persichettl reviewed the en-
slavement of this native art to its
European teacher, American com-
Posers after the Civil War wrote
Second rate European music,?’ By
1920, however, American mustcl-

ns had begiun their struggle for
Uberation,

Tone Clusters
Dr. Persichetti noted that the
New Englander Charles Ives wrote
Stravinsky” before Stravinsky did
and that Henry Cowell enraged the
Russian nobility with his tone clus-
ters — all in the early 1900's,
By the 1950's Americans finally
began to synthesize the different
modes of twentieth century compo-
sition: serlalism, polytonality, tone
clusters, and atonality, Just as Bach
Lecthoven were synthesizers,

Art Council Announces
National Foundation

by Laura Dodofsky

Artist-in residence programs throughout the coun-
try will receive booster shots from the new National
Foundation for the Arts and Humanities,

President Johnson has listed grants to schools and
universities to support great artists on the campus as
one of the major tasks of the foundation, The others,
announced at the ceremony on September 29 signing
the foundation bill into law, include the creation of a
national repetory theatre and an American film insti-
tute; support of a national opera, a national ballet,
and symphony orchestras; and commissioning new
works of music.

The Foundation consists of two $5 million national
endowments — one for the humanities and one for the
arts — and a Federal Council inthe Arts and Humani-
ties to coordinate their activities. In addition, the new
law provides funds to match private contributions to
the endowments, to give special arts grants to the
states, and to remodel and purchase elementary and
secondary school arts and humanities equipment,

Strengthen Teaching
It also authorizes $500,000 for training institutes to
strengthen the teaching of the arts and humanities in
elementary and secondary schools. Many college and
universities can he expected to host these arts and
humanities institutes, just as they have sponsored lan-
guage, science, mathematics and history institutes in
the pa
According to the new law, the essential difference
hetween the arts and the humanities is that the arts
involve creation, performance, and exhibition; whereas
the humanities center around study, Included among
the arts are music, dance, drama, creative writing,
irchitecture, painting, sculpture, photography, cos-
{ume and fashion design, industrial design, film, telo-
vision, lio and recording, Included in the humanities
ue modern and classical languages, linguistics, lit-
crature, history, jurisprudence, philosophy, archae-
logy, criticism, theory of the arts and humanistic as-
pects of the social sciences,
Need Support

The Commi report was presented in June
1964, and concluded that the arts, humanities, and
relevant academic disciplines needed additional mas=
Sive support, coming largely from the federal govern=
ment. It recommended that an independent National
Humanities Foundation similar to the National Science
Seience Foundation, be created, Congressman William
S, Moorhead introduced a bill embodying the Com-
mission's recommendation,

After hearings in February and March of this year,
the administration’s ‘consensus’ proposal, easen-
tially the one passed, was formulated, In addition to
many university and commission representatives, the
bill's hearings included testimony by noted perform-
ers such as Theodore Bikel and Charlton Heston,

The success of the Humanities commission, whose
20 members inoluded 11 faculty members of admin-
istrators of universities, contrasts sharply with a
Commission sot up in 1955-56, The main result of its

Through December 5

We ‘experienced one of the more rewarding aspects
of athletics last Wednesday night that we feel should
be of interest to every sports fan, The experience we

“are referring to is the seasonal sports banquet of the
‘athletic department, this one being the fall affair.

At this banquet we saw State sports at their best.
This may sound funny because. who thinks of a ban-
quet as being an intrinsic attribute of athletics? We
now do, We saw the sincerity and pride of coaches
praising their athletes, the humility of the athletes
receiving their awards, and the exuberance with which
the members of-the different teams. applauded their
Peers. What more can athletics teach an individual?

Over and over again the coaches told of the hard
work, patience and desire their players put forth
during the year. And yet we never grew tired of it.
We felt proud to be associated with a group of indi-
viduals who know what it is to work for something
other than the highly inadequate coverage of a college
newspaper or for the appreciation of fellow students,
We never kidded ourselves into believing this was

ever their moment,
Emotion Filled

We saw an emotional and tear-filled Joe Garcia bid
a fond farewall to a player whom he had coached for
three years, We felt a lump in our throat, too,

We watched an intense Tom Robinson extol his frosh
runners, using the same terms that coaches used to
describe him with when he was Albany’s greatest har-
rier only a year ago.

We saw Bill Schieffelin convey his deep frustration
during the past frosh soccer season, He showed im-
mense pride in his players, and from the skills and
attitudes we know the freshman learned from him
during the season, we can easily call to mind an old
adage: ‘Achievement is not the primary function of
athletics,’

‘Spud’? Kruzan and Keith Munsey provided the en-
tertainment for the evening, epitomizing the buoyancy
of the affair,

To the award winners — Udo Guddat, soccer; Paul
Durbin, cross-country; Mike Atwell and Don Beevers,
frosh cross-country; and Harold Toretszky, frosh
soccer — our most sincere congratulations,

Dislike Selections

The sports department should like to voice its dis-
satisfaction with the AMIA football all-star selections
as made by the team captains last week,

Since it was the captains doing the choosing, we
cannot see how they arrived at some of the choices
they did, There are certain players on the team we
feel don’t belong there; discretion rules out naming
these players, However, it is our opinion that such
players as Trinity's Charlie Hickey, Tower's Sal Vil-
la, and Potter's Len Haybrook were among the out-
standing players in the league and yet overlooked in
the balloting,

Trinity, in particular, was hard hit; APA, which
was tied by Trinity for second place, had eight men
on the starting team — Trinity had none,

As we said before, since the captains of the teams
did the choosing, we cannot blame ignorance for the
selections, All we can say is that something must be
wrong with the selection system that allowed such a
gros misrepresentation to occur.

ACCORDING TO PRESEASON outlooks, Coach Bob Burling-
ame's freshman wrestling team should be equally as good os
last year's team, who posted a fine six won three lost record

Central Council Resolution Supports
Siena’s Father Bonaventure O’Brien

Shortly after election
day, the news of Father
Bonaventure O’Brien’s or-
ders to remain on campus
at Siena College became
public, Three colleges in
the Albany area have joined
together in support of
Father Bonaventure,

The College of Saint Rose made
a statement through {ts Student Sen-
ate favoring the work of Father
Bonaventure and praising the efforts
of the Siena Student Senate in behalf
of their instructor. In the statement,
the Senate urged the students of St.
Rose to examine the situation, and
urged the faculty to “continue to
provide Christian leadership.”

‘The students of Siena initiated the
action and requested support for
their proposed plans. They had hoped
to organize demonstrations, and had
Published a leaflet stating their po-
sition and feelings toward the action
of the diocesan hiearchy,

At the Central Council meeting of
Noveinber 18, the question of sup=
Port of the actions of Siena students
and the manner in which we might
extend support was debated. Presi-
dent Thompson stated that he had
been to Siena and had discussed the
situation,

Princip!

Dr. Rosenbach suggested that the
Council extend support of the pri
ciples behind the action taken, but
hot necessarily support the action
itself. Then the question of a public
Anstitution interfering in the internal
affairs of a religious organization
was debated,

It is npt necessarily the right of
this institution to question actions
taken by the Catholic Church Ad=
ministration in this or any other
question, At the same time the stu
dents and faculty members of Cen=
tral Counell felt some statement
should be made on this matter,

‘The students of Sena had stated

in their leaflet that “a man should
not be removed from social action
since the principles are Christian
in nature. Council agreed on this
point, but disagreed on what the
nature of its statement should be,

Statement

Several suggestions were sub-
mitted for the Council's approval.
Finally the suggestion of Dean Brown
was accepted as the best possible
wording for our sentiments, The
resolution sald both that {t approved
of the action of Father O’Brien and
that it supported the spirit of Sle
ena’s actions,

The statement submitted for pub-
Ucation is as follows: “The mem=

bers of the Central Council of the
State University of New York at
Albany accord respect and admira-
tion for the spirit and maturity with
which the Siena Student Senate has
stated its convictions toward hu-
manttartan concerns,

“We support the contention that
each man must be free within self
nposed limitations to fulfill his
personal commitment to others in
@ manner consistent with his beliefs,

‘The following night, interested
students gathered at the “Golden
Eye’ to hear people speak on the
tople of Father Bonaventure’s or=
ders, Representatives for the three
colleges were present,

Wolkonsky Another Year

Madame Catherine Wolkonsky of Albany State’s De-
partment of Slavic Languages has been offered an addi-
tional one year extension of her tenure, Madame Wol-
konsky will be 72 before the endof this yer, The policy
of the State University ordinarily precluded persons over

70 from full time teaching assignments,

Late last year, the local
University Council voted to
allow Madame Wolkonsky
to remain a full time teach-
er for this year,

Russia, sa world famous authority
on the Russian language, She joined
this faculty in 1963,

She is co-author of abook entitled
“A Dictionary of Russian Roots,"
This work ts widely considered tobe
a detinitive study of the structure of
the Russian language,

Madame Wolkonsky has been ac-
tive in assisting the research of
many scholars of the Russian lan=
guage. A graduate student currently
studying here claims that he cannot
find a recent book which does not ine
