Although a request to unfreeze
some library positions was sub-

DiMco feels the situation is being
slighted.
“I think the Department of Budget
is playing games with us,” he said
“They don’t realize the necessity of
such a service.” With library hours
now reduced by 20 per cent, DiMeo
is convinced many students will not

In regard to the student protest,
Library Director James Schmidt
said, “I think it would be premature
to doit now it would be a mis-
take." Although Schmidt is aware of
Library Cuts
the effectiveness of a student
demonstration at this time he
believes students should wait until
hearing from the Division of Budget
before taking any action,
After meeting with Eric Engler
from the Division of Budget, DiMeo
left feeling dissatisfied. “I didn't
think he showed much concern,"
DiMco said.
DiMeo sees a “study in” as a real
possibility. “I know we can get a
massive turnout.” he added,
chmidt said, “We ought to keep
the heat on them (division of
Budget).” In regards to Engler,
Schmidt seemed optimistic and
replied, “I would prefer to give hima
chance . . . he could come off like
a man on a white horse.”
hmidt suggested the possibility
of establishing some library hours
with the help of “trained” student
assistants, “We can't put anyone to
work, we need mature and responsi-
ble folk.”
Although the library was
scheduled to remain open later this
week, Schmidt said there is a
possibility of restoring some hours

‘A decreasing amount of state sup-
port may significantly boost tuition
fates at SUNY schools, if the
fecommendations of the Board of
Regents are approved later this
month,
The Regents have released a
feport calling for greater propor-
tional aid to private institutions in
‘New York, and a closing of the tui-
tion gap between them and the
state's public schools. Hearings were
held last ‘week on the Board's Ten-
tative Statewide Plan for the
Development of Postsecondary
Education. A vote on the plan is
slated for September 24.
SASU Delegate Kathy Baron of
SUNYA said the Regents study gave
SUNY students “a slap in the face.”
She said the report goes against the
concept of cheaper publiceducation,
claiming, “They're saying it's a lux-
ury to attend college.”
If the Board hasits way, there may

There will be less of it on campus
this year according to SUNYA
power authorities.
University Auxiliary Services
(UAS) and the Plant Department
have shut off the hot water of 185 un-
iversity washing machines.
Utility Chief Wayne Allen said,
“By reducing energy and using cold
water, the bills can be kept down,
Heating water takes energy. Without
heating, you save energy and
money.”
Because the American Society for
Heating and Ventilation Engineers
has lowered the figures for the
amount of air to be circulated,
SUNYA power authorities have
followed suit. Power authorities said
that the intake of fresh air or
recycled air necessary to the air flow
system in all campus buildings will
also be reduced.
‘Temperature Now 68°
Classrooms previously heated to
T2 degrees will be lowered to 68
degrees, Lights will also be dimmer
this year.
Allen explained that with a reduc-
tion in freshair intake, the air needed
to be heated from outside to inside
will be lessened. In the winter, these
costs are high, according to Allen,
because of the need to heat air to
room temperature,
Dr. Dennis Stevens, associate for
the University Financial Analysis
said “power is a cost problem rather
than an energy availability. It's
costing us more money than we
have.”
Allen suid, "We need more univer-
sity community involvement for
energy conservation. To date it has
been principally the plant
department's work with little in
volvement from the rest of the com-
munity.”
Savings to Education
Allen added, "What we save on
energy can be put elsewhere, I'm
assuming the savings are going back
to education,”
no longer be a great distinction
between the amount of support
received by different schools in the
state. The Board's report noted,
“The independent institutions are
quite public in nature. There are no
‘public' or ‘private’ students,”
The report calls for 25 per cent
state funding for private schools
within New York’State, and 67 per
cent support for SUNY institutions,
‘The Regents further recommend-
ed ‘periodical evaluations and ad-
justments for the SUNY tuition
policy,
The Regents report maintains
state support “will increase, not
decrease, primarily to meet cost in-
creases in the public and indepen-
dent sectors.” It also claims available
funds for higher education will in-
crease by an average of 7.4 and 8,8
per cent annually,
The basic principles outlined by
the report stress that “the costs of

Schmidt's problems are being
compounded by more losses in per-

positions they vacate will be frozen,
Schmidt said these workers are being

studentd donot differ between public
and independent institutions.”
In the development of ite
tecommendations, the Regents
determined the major distinction
between SUNY and private schools
is simply the share of their budgets *
covered by state appropriations.
Initial reaction to the Regents
study has been negative from SUNY
student governments, Baron noted
that public institutions had already
been hit hard by the state, She cited
cutbacks at SUNYA as an example.
Baron added, “Until we can prove
that state education is. necessary,
we're going to keep getting reac-
tionary attitudes from the Board of
Regents.
If Regents recommendations are
implemented, New York State will
have to come up with $1.36 billion
for higher education in fiscal 1977,
According to the Board, that figure
is on par with expenditures of recent

On this ‘campus, few students are
ible as to the actions and decisions
which control the. vay we live. This includes
legislative decisions “both here and in
‘Washington, policies of the Board of Regents
and SUNY Central, a3 well as actions taken
here on campus by the administration, faculty,
and students, Fewer still recognize or know
anything about the individuals around whom
the news on this campus focuses,
Steve DiMeo is President of Student
Association.
Steve DiMeo was elected to that office last
May, defeating Jon Levenson and Jay Miller.
Ona campus with a population of 15,000 peo-
ple, 7,000 of whom were eligible to vote, fewer
than 1,000 voted for him,
For about eight hours a day, Steve can be
found in his office on the third floor of the
Campus Center, He can also be found work-
ing in the Colonial Quad dining hall. “I'm not
working in the dining hall primarily for the
‘money. I think it gives me an opportunity to be
closer with the students, People who know me
come up and ask me questions and tell me
about problems I might not hear otherwise.”
DiMeo transferred here from Community
College and was placed in the dorm with the
‘Alpha Pi Alpha fraternity. “I got very close
with those guys and decided to join them, Last
year I was social chairman and now I'm their
ong leader.”
Steve's first move into campus politics was
his election to Central Council in the spring of
"75. “I ran because I felt that 1 wanted to do
something for the students here, and being
lected was a real thrill, a real accomplish-
ment.”
In his home town, Utica, Steve was also
politically active. “My freshman year in High
School, 1968, | was for the war in Vietnam to
prevent the spread of Communism, I was sort
of a super patriot,” By'71 he spoke out against
it and worked for the election of George
McGovern. “I considered myself an idealist
guest opinions
rather than a radical’ as far as politics goes.”
In Utica, DiMeo quit the campaign of
Mayor Ed Hannah when he felt that his cam-
paign was run by bosses. “Rufie Elefante [a
Utica politician] tried to convince me that he
‘wasn't 20 bad, but I felt that 1 just, equidn’t
work for Hannah,” fark
Steve now supports Jimmy Carter for presi-
dent, after originally pulling for Mo Udall.
“I'm feeling stronger and stronger for Carter
every time I hear him speak.”
Last year Steve was elected Vice-
chairperson of Central Council and became
chairperson of it's Financial Committee.
“When I became vice-chair, the last thing on
‘my mind was running for President.” But as he
watched the operations of student association
close up, he felt that SA wasn't serving
students like it was supposed to.
“really wasn't sure that I wanted torun un-
tilabout four months before theelection. I had
actually decided not to run as late as
December.
“While I was running I really didn’t get that
much of a chance to get a lot of studying in,”
Steve says that he ig not a big studier, and that
his grades were better second semester of last
year without studying than those he received
the semester before when he really “busted his
chops."
Now as president, he feels that several ma:
jor, important issues will arise this year that
students should be aware of, Most important,
he feels isthe publication of the Mission Study
Statement, Steve feels that with faculty reac-
tion split over Fields'“mission” for the school,
this statement can make or break Fields’ con-
trol in this University.
DiMeo agrees with Field's mission, “In
these times of austerity and retrenchment, we
can't possibly expect to fulfill Rockfeller's
‘grandiose plans for a University for all worlds.
Allocation decisions must be made about
human, physical and monetary resources. The
direction chosen for this University by Fields
was really indicated by students’ academic

“Most of the students here are either taking
Business, the Social Sciences, or Sciences for
pre med/dent. These were the ‘public policy’
areas that are being emphasized by the mis-
sion” + i
1 ‘The SUNY buidget comes up again this year,
‘and DiMeo says that we can expect further
cuts, though not to the same extent as last
year. “The thing we've got to watch for this
year is a major cut in services, particularly the
infirmary.”
To build or not to build a fieldhouse will be
‘another question to be answered this year.
“Students know there is a lack of recreational
facilities on this campus, and we must decide
whether we want to subsidize the construction
of a fieldhouse, knowing that the State
definitely won't build one for us," DiMeo feels
that the Campus facilities are being wasted
during the summer and that the place could
make money by holding conventions here.
Another thing that will be worked on is the
improvement of off-campus housing. “Sandy
Voit and Mike Grill of the Off-Campus
Association have done a great job in finding
‘out where students live off campus.” To have
more off-campus housing available for
students, DiMeo hopes to reactivate the Stu-
dent Dwellings Corp., which would buy and
renovate buildings with Federal funds and

Ford?
by Ed Moser
President Ford said today he will convert to
Catholicism, “Washington is worth a Mass,”
he has privately told his family.
Ford sees in a direct appeal to Catholic
voters, a chance to win the election, as
Catholics may be irritated by Jimmy Carter's
born-again Protestantism and ambivalent
stand on abortion,
Next week, Ford and his entire family, ex-
cepting Ford's son Jack, will wade into the
Potomic River to be baptized by a Cardinal of
the Church. The youthful, athletic Jack Ford
will dive into the water from a bluff overlook-
the river.
That same afternoon, Ford will deliver a
‘major campaign address from the pulpit of St,
Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, Among
other things, Ford will claim his grandfather
was opposed to Prohibition.
Yesterday, in Rome, Pope Paul made the
erstwhile Episcopalian President an honorary
deacon of the Catholic Church. In return,
Ford promised to lend the CIA to the Pontiff
“for use against the Communists in future
national elections of the Italian democracy,”
The traditional atmosphere of the White
Howe has been drastically altered by the
President's change of Spirit, The heavy smell
af incense now prevades the Oval Office, and
paintings of the Four Apostles have replaced
thore of Washington, Madison, Jefferson and
Lincoln. Secret servicemen no longer protect
the outside gates,

Our experience indicates that this semester
program is more satisfactory to students and
to our office than one lasting a month or six
weeks, or only a few days week. The semester
program can be combined with a summer in-
ternship if the student wishes, (Special in-
ternships for the winter intersession and for
the summer only are also available.)
Most semester interns join us on the basis of
a work-study or independent study program
through which they receive some academic
credit. There are no funds available for a sti
pend or for defraying expenses while students
are in Brooklyn, Students make their own
living: arrangments
Because our office receives so. many
applications for internships, it is helpful if we
hear from applicants for the spring ‘77
semester as soon as possible. To help us
evaluate each application, we prefer a per-
sonal interview, if feasible, either in New York
‘or Washington, but interviews can be con-
ducted by telephone if necessary.
Students who are interested in our District

‘The new Rathskeller is really beautiful, The

effect, being told to stop studying or to find
someplace else (analmost impossible task that

‘As students, we come here to learn, and itis

Increased freshman and transfer-student enrollment this semester
means many new faces on the Albany campus; faces unfamiliar with the wae
atmosphere and crisis of our community and indeed, a problem in
themselves,
The overcrowding on this campus in something that is hard to ignore,
especially if you are one of those fortunate students assigned “emergency
housing” in a lounge, or a freshman in a tripled-up room barely
adequate for two. The first week of school saw dinner lines extending
through flagrooms, long waits at this office and that, people crammed in
sweltering classrooms. These hassles are by no means unique to this time ;
and place, but do necessitate immediate concern and evaluation. —
The problem of overcrowding extends way beyond the physical
discomforts of classroom and dorm..The whole issuse of quality _
education is at stake, On.a campus suitable for 10,000, we are pushing
15,000. How long is this to go on? Till we hit 20,000, 25,000? Where and
when will the line be drawn? Shouldn't it have been drawn long ago?
What it boils down to is a question of priorities. Money must be made,
yes, and contracts must be fulfilled, but what does this institution exist
for? The concern for quality education and the ‘maintenance of an
atmosphere conducive to it seem all-but-forgotten in attempts to make
ends meet and mass-produce college graduates. ~
While we recognize the attempts being made by University personnel
to deal with the immediate overcrowding crisis confronting us, we
express extreme concern over the perennial trend to tax our Tesources to
the limit and beyond, at the expense of our very reason for being here.

from The American Wing of the

New York Historical Society and the
Albany Institute to show the dis

cabinetmukers as distinguished from
their contemporaries in Boston,
Newport, Charlestown and
Philadelphia. Beginning with the

with the Empire style of the mid-19th

Munsey does not hide the fact that
the schedule is going to be a tough
‘one. The season opener against Cor-
tland will not scare Munsey but the
succeeding contests just might make
him nervous. “After Cortland, we go
to play the Coast Guard and Marist,
We're decided underdogs to
Marist—they beat us out last year in
ur own invitational.”
“Our third meet is our first home
meet (Sept. 25) and we'll be playing
against Army and Syracuse”. Both
are Division | schools (Albany is
Division 111) and Munsey feels it will
be “the most top-notch collegiate
cross country match ever held in this
area.”
Albany has beaten Army only

once in four tries and has never
beaten Syracuse, “I hope we're
strong enotigh to givethem a battle,”
Munsey explains, “It's a big thrill to
have them here.”

Even so, Albany has defeated them
the last two years. Following that

Schietfelin Describes Squad As Most
Talented Team Ever in Albany State’
by Ken Kurts
‘The Albany State soccer team
kicks off its season on Tuesday,
‘September 14, against NCAA Divi-
‘sion [ runnerup champion Southern
Illinois University, Coach William
‘Schieffelin describes this game as the
highlight of the season, and if the
weather holds up; a crowd of
between 3-10 thousand spectators
are expected. Admission will be
charged, $2 adults, $1 children, and
student tax card bearers will be ad-
mitted free.
‘Schieffelin describes this year's
‘team as “the mont talented team ever
at Albany State, with fifteen retur-
ning letterman out of a squad of
eighteen”, But it will have a tough
schedule, Besides Southern Illinois,
‘State will meet NCAA Division III
runnerup Brockport, as well as
tough SUNYAC teams from Cor-
tland and Oneonta, The only ten-
tative date on the schedule is the Oc-
tober 16 contest versus Hamilton.
In preparation for the tough
schedule, the soccer players came up
a week early, paying their own ex-
penses, and have played two scrim-
mages to date. The Danes defeated
Fulton-Montgomery by a sore of 2-
0, and played three halves against
Marist on Saturday, winning the
scrimmage 7-1.
‘The high-powered offense made
its appearance in the Marist game.
This same offense scored 58 goals
last year, 19 more than any Albany
team ever scored, There are two
scrimmages left in the preseason:
Wednesday afternoon at 4
against a good Ulster Community
College team, as well as a Saturday
quadrangular scrimmage (Williams,
Castleton, and St, Lawrence) at |
pam,
‘The team has some standout
players returning, but the net-
minders are young, Two freshmen,

re the goalkeepers, and Schieffelin

Leroy Aldrich, a two time all-stater,
as well as Johnny Rolando and
Arthur ‘Bedford are players with a
shot at-All-State.
Frank Selca, All-State last year,
‘anid the second leading scorer in the
state last. year (19, goals and 10
assists) has gotten off toa start
this year, Selca scored a goal in the
first preseason game as well as two
goals against Marist on Saturday.
Last year, Selca broke the single
season scoring record at Albany.
“The defense has a multitude of .
wealth", says Schieffelin. Pepe
Aguilar and Bedford are returning
standouts, Simon Curanovich and
Mark Wenzel are doing a good job,
and two transfers are playing well for
the Danes: Stan Gage (Fulton
Mont.) and Aldo Sergovich
(UCC)
Players From 16 Countries
‘The midfield is strong, as Chepe
Ruano, Selca and Paul Schisel have
all looked impressive in preseason,

Munsey Worried Over Harriers
by Mike Plekaroki
“I'm acared to death, We've lost so
many guys and as for our new
arrivals, we haven't seen them in ac-
tion yet.” For Albany cross country
coach Robert Munsey, this kind of
preseason analysis is a new ex-
perience,
ce 1962, when Munsey first
became Albany's cross country men-
tor, the team has not had a losing
‘season, They came closest last year
when they finished with a 6-4 dual
meet record—by virtue of winning
slawiky
(y-Albany Harrier Vinnie Reda wende hie way through enemy course.
their last fivecontests. With a ldyear
overall slate of 126-28, Munsey has
hardly learned what itis to lose here,
But. unless something, or
someone, turns up in a hurry,
Munsey will have his hands full try-
ing to keep his perfect winning
record intact. No less than three of
last year's top seven runners are not
returning, including Most Valuable
Runner last year, Carlo Cherubino;
winner of seven of nine races,
Cherubino has graduated but the
other two non-returners have other
reasons, Fred Kitzrow is working
and cannot compete this year and
number four runner in 1975, Keith
Benman, has declined to come out
because he has decided to work out
on his own. “I don't know why he
quit,” said Munsey, “But I guess he
has his reasons”,
In any case, his loss will definitely
be felt, “I'm distressed and unhappy
by his decision, He's left a tremen-
ous hole and whether or not wecan
fill it, 1 don’t know.”
Nevertheless, Munsey does have a
“fairly solid nucleus” to work with
His hopes will probably revolve
around Chris Burns, Brian Davis,
Eric Jackson, Tom Ryan, and Ken
Burnett, Only Burns and Jackson
areseniors. Burns, incidentally, was
number two behind Cherubino last
year while Davis was ranked third,
(The rankings are computed by
dividing the runner's number of
races entered by the total number of
points he has compiled—i.e, three
points for a third finish in a race).
According to Munsey, Jackson
has improved considerably
“He's a lot better this year; he's got
the confidence. The last meet of the
year he went down to the ICAAAA
Meet (in New York City) and came
in 25th out of 202 entrants, The first
25 make All-IC4A. He's not goingto
bbe another so-so runner.”
This year there are 21 other can-
didates out for the ten cross country
positions and twelve of the hopefuls
are freshmen. “I'm pretty tickled
with it,” Munsey asserts. "We also
have a couple of seniors trying out
for the first time."
In addition to the first five, there
are “about five or six people whocan
slip on to the varsity," explains the
coach, Junior Mark Dalton is one of
them.
‘According to Munsey, he's “as
strong as an ox, He had a good spr-
ing season and just did a super job,
He has an excellent chance to make
the team,” Mark Lavan is another

ponent scores first,
“Only eleven guys play, but those
who don't are part of a winning
team, and if someone gets hurt, a
position will open up for a capable
player. The team has balance and
depth, as well as a good attitude, and
we're looking forward to a good
season,” concluded Schieffelin.

whose prospects look good. “He was
our swing man last year between the
varsity and junior varsity and then
wemoved him uptothe varsity inthe
middle of the season. He's been run-
ning all summer anf he's got a pretty
good shot at the varsity,”
Senior Phil Sullivanis also.on the
“possible” list. “He ran track last
year, He's been a little overweight
the last few (track) seasons but he's
got a shot at it."
“Leading the pack of newcomers
is a freshman, Matt Williams," says
Williams comes from
town near Wap-
pingers Falls, and Munsey has had
his eye on him for a while, To makea
long store short, according to
Munsey: "he's here and boy am I
happy!”
Tradiitonally, the cross country
team hus a preseason race around
Perimeter Road early in the practice
week, and Williams won it this year.
It was “a humid
were really awful
he does not take it away from
Williams and his hopes on the
freshman remain high.
‘Other notable candidates include
senior Roger Miller and freshman
Joe Reinhart, “It's strange, two
freshmen and a senior,” mused the
coach.

Library Extends Hours
With Temporary Funds
by Judy Loeb
‘The Library will restore on Mon-
day cight out of thetwenty operating
hours which had been cut due to a
state budget hiring freeze.
‘According to SUNYA Acting Ex-
ective Vice President David Martin,
temporary service money will be
used to fill two professional library
positions, and to hire temporary stu-
dent supervisors for the hours that
were cut back
Martin said, however, that this
was merely “a temporary measure
conducted to combat the statewide
budget crunch we areexperiencing,”
The remainder of the cut hours
will only be restored, according to
Martin, if the Division of Budget ap-
proves the unfreezing of those va-
cant positions causing the present
cutback in hours.
Should the request to fill the
vacancies be refused Library Direc
tor James Schmidt said there would
fot be enough money to maintain
the newly restored hours for the rest
of the term, He said, “Should this
happen, there is not a shadow of
doubt in my mind that hours would
be cut further.”
According to Schmidt, the
Library will increase its operating
hours from its present 83.5 hours per
week, to 91,5 hours a week starting
on Monday.
The new hours will be: Monday
through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to
midnight, Friday from 7:30 a.m. to
6p.m., Saturday from 10:a.m. to
5:00 p.m, and Sunday from 1:00 p.m,
to p.m,
Schmidt emphasized the fact,
however, that hiring student help
will not hold out for the rest of the
semester if SUNY Central does not
act on this matter. Hesaid, “Itis only

DiMeo remains disatisfied with

DiMeo said, “The matter is

Fields Uncorks Mission Plan
shay
Aims SUNYA Toward Public Policy Analyste
bby Stephen Drinanka
‘SUNY is headed for a new era of
increased public policy analysis ac-
cording to a proposed mission state-
ment released by President Emmett
B, Fields at a press conference
Wednesday morning.
Fields described the mission state-
Ment, of statement of purpose, as &
response to the SUNY Master Plan
released this summer by Chancellor
Ernest Boyer. The plan requires that
each campus prepare a clear mission
statement flavored by SUNY's new
push on public service.
“Apparently, one of the themes in
the mission statement, as you will
discover in reading it,” said Fields
standing before a cluster of
microphones in his office, “is a
reemphasis on the uses this campus
can be put to in public policy
analysis and servicing state and local
government.”
Swift faculty response to the mis-
sion statement came at a prearrang-
ed press conference called by the
Committee of Concerned Faculty in
a Campus Center lounge. A written
release being circulated by the com-
mittee accused Fields of attem;
to create a “Think Tank” at
SUNYA, Committee meinibers
described the concept of w think
tank as an institution serving the
needs of public policy m
than education.
Committee spokesman Donald
Reeb, an associate professor of
economics at SUNYA, explained
that public policy analysis at the un-
iversity is normally conducted on an
individual basis, Members of the
faculty seek out an area of concern
trying to find a piece of research that
is academically respectable and
acceptable to the particular govern-
ment agency.
“But athink tank,” said Reeb, “is
a much different kind of
phenomenon, especially if you con-
nect it with the university, What
you're doing is asking a university
not to take on an educational func
tion, . .but rather to serve the
primary purpose of coming up with
sellable ideas for politicians for their
constituencies. That's no longer a
university. I'm not too sure what it
does to a university because 1 know
of no university that ever did it,”
Fields rejected the contention that
SUNYA might evolve into a think
nk. “Think tanks," said Fields,
ve scholars that are working
wholly on their scholarship without
any obligation to teach and that ob-
viously does not describe us.”
The mission statement earmarks
the following departments and
schools for a net increase in faculty
lines and associated support funds as
soon as is feasible: Business, Com-
puter Science, Economics, Pa
chology, Public Administration,
Rhetoric and “Communications,
Social Welfare, and Sociology,
The statement calls for continued
support of the following programs
based on their quality, achievement,
and potential: Anthropology, At-
mospheric Science, Biolo;
Chemistry, Criminal Justice,
Educational Psychology, Geology,
German, Mathematics, Philosophy,
Physics, Public Administration, and
Reading. at
The mission statement make it
clear that the move toward increased
involvement in matters of public
policy can take « variety of forms
and include a wide range of field
and disciplines. However, the state-
ies out the following
to be given special en-
State solve some of its problems: At-
mospheric Science, Business, Com-
puter Science, Criminal Justice,
Economics, Educational Policies,
Programs and Institutions,
Educational Psychology,
Geography, Geology, Political
Science,
ministration, Social Welfare, and
Sociology.
Fields stressed that the proposed
mission statement ig only a
university-level document, not a
finalized scheme of SUNYA‘s
future, “The mission study has been
designed,” said Fields,
‘open it up to everyone on the cam-
pus for their thoughtful reflection
and criticism, whether friendly tothe
‘general crux of the document or un-
friendly to it, . . Members of the un-
iversity will have full opportunity to -
react to the statement and to par-
ticipate in the preparatiqn of the.
final mission plan for each school
and department at the‘ university.”
Fields expects that a revision of
n statement wil take place
ie in November.
A certain amount of flexibility is
built into the mission statement to
compensate for unforeseen changes

Jack Ford Speaks At The Hyatt House

of a chance to work out, What he

getting to his low-key campaign.
People were finding it easy to in-

Jack who had a “Ford is a better

“Thereis a common goal here, This is
the core, what determines if we win

Although he is giving his all to the

people can agree on everything and
that he does disagree with his father’s
stand on abortion, strip mining, and

“There are some things which I
think should be decided on a private

In a crowd where some men were

Carter's playing both sides of the

we have a candidate on the other side
