How to Demonstrate

ANDDO IT RIGHT

by Diann€ Piche

*Rule number one is to be
there. What good is a mass
demonstration if there are no
masses? Obviously a handful of
students Will do little to effect
any sort of change in the budget
situation.

*Your second responsibility is
to make sure all your friends
show up, even if it means dragg-
ing your roommate (orlover) out
of bed and convincing him/her
that if s/he doesn't join you, you
will never share your bone with
him/her again.

“Another thing you might un-
dertake is attemptingto convince
your teachers to join the march.
This will be especially easy if they
are untenured or members of
departments slated to be ter-
minated next year and you make
a point of reminding them of the
same. Having more than
students at the march and rally
will be good not only forthe sake
of numbers, but for building a
kind of morale and comeraderie
that has never really existed
before.

*A definite must for the media
and any other folks we happen to
catch the eye of is to make
yourself a poster or sign. S.A.
will have a limited number
available, but you should have
no trouble making your own.
Poster paper is only 35¢ a sheet
inthe bookstore and most people
have magic markers handy, One
thing to remember is that the
police will not allow sheets and
signs to be carried on wooden or
metal sticks since this is a poten-
tial safety hazard. They will has-
sle you if you're caught so your
best bet is probably cardboard
rollers if you need something to
support your sign

Some suggestions for slogans
are “You say cut back, we say
fight back.” “Defend public
higher education” “Cut ad-
minstrators, not students”, etc
etcete. Also, if you feel a need to
relate to your own department
feel free to bear signs reading
“Don't kill SUNYA nursing’, or
“Health care for the people” ete
These are only suggestions and
not very original. Be creative

*Remember that this is a
peaceful demonstration and
nobody we know wants a repeat
of the incidents in New Jersey
where their student demonstra
tion turned into violence and led
to several arrests. Keep cool, do

what you feel you have to, but
don't stop anyone else either.

Violence is definitely not cool.
The police have been cooperative
and will be at the demonstration,
so there's no reason to do
anything illegal.

*No dope or other contra-
band.

*There will be student
marshals within the crowd at all
times. They are people who are
trained to help facilitate a good,
orderly demonstration, They are
not cops. If you haveany trouble
or confusion ask your local
marshal, S/he will be wearing a
blue armband.

*If you haveto piss, trytodoi’
before you leave campus. There
are very limited toilet facilities
downtown. Four portable toilets
have been rented for the occa
sion, but they probably won't be
adequate for thousands of peo-
ple, Also, there are a limited
number of restaurants down-
town, so it would be a good idea
to eat something before leaving

*If you are a student witha car
and happen to pass other
students coming to or leaving the
demonstration, you might want
to pick them up.

*In the event that you need
first aid of any sort, look for peo-
pie from S-quad and other
medical personnel who will be
there. All marshals will know
how to get first aid easily and
quickly

*Don't stray off the route for
the march, We only have a per-
mit to march down Washington
Ave. from 11:30 am til 2:00 pm.
‘Any deviations may upset the
police.

*Nobody “in charge” of the
rally and march intends to in any
way limit the freedom of speech
of any other political groups
which ahppen to show up with
their literature and rhetoric
However, we remind you all that
while anyone may endorse the
demonstration, only the follow-
ing groups are ity official spon-
sors: SASU, CSEA, CCSA
UUP, CUNY, Students Senate.
NYSUP, and the PSC

*Shout your brains out!! Be
enthusiastic and friendly to your
fellow students. Join in the
chants and have fun
Demonstrations are called tor
serious things, but you can have
a hell of at good time if you doit
right

SUNYA Nursing students (above) ‘expressed oppositionto the proposed elimination of their schoo!
by rallying at the Capitol. Pictured below are protestors in the February 26 rally against Task Force
‘recommendations for the Italien Studies program which Is also being phased out.

Task Force Suggestions
Receive Sharp Criticism

by Susan Miller
and C.S, Santino

‘The President's Task Force has
met with heavy criticism following
the release on February 24 of thei
recommendations for extensive
program cutbacks, Charges of unfair
procedure have been made by facul-
ty members, who feel the Task Force
did not have enough time to fully
consider the implications of
suggested cuts.

Opposition to the recommen-
dations has been most vocal from
such programs as nursing, art
history, and astronomy, all pegged
by the Task Force for elimination.

1t was recommended that nursing
be phased out over a four-year
period because the “commitment of
needed additional resources is not
possible.”

‘According to Assistant Dean of
Nursing, Shirley Kane, “Faculty and
students reject the recommendation
to phase out the Schoo! of Nursing.”

Students and faculty members
have been involved in a vigorous
campaign to save the nursing
program. They have lobbied at the
State Capitol, both individually and
in groups. Students have gone to
their representatives asking for
assistance, and attended a recent
hearing of the Higher Education
Committee's Budget.

Contact with the public has in-
cluded coverage by local media
Newspapers and radio and

Students Coordinate Protest On Cuts

by Paul Rosenthal

Student government officials here
and at SUNY schools across the
state are coordinating efforts in
preparation for mass protests
against proposed cuts in the 1976-77
SUNY budget. Plans include a
march on the Capitol this Tuesday.

‘Accordingto SASU, reductions in
the SUNY budget amount to SSI
million so far.

‘A three-pronged effort has been
undertaken by SA toexpress opposi-
tion to both the recommendations
made by President Fields’ Task

Task Force

by Daniel Gaines

SUNYA President Emmett B.
Fields will make final decisions on
program cuts by Tuesday. He has
received a review of his Task Force's
report, on which he will base his
decisions, made by the Univeruity
‘Senate's Educational Policies Coun-
cil. Fields also received the Task
Force's reaction to the EPCreview.

The EPC reviewed the procedures
of the Task Force and 67 responses
to it from academic and ad-
ministrative units of the univer-
sity,21 of which did not take issue
with the Task Force, 25 that were
discussed but not considered of sul-
ficient weight to alter the Task Force
recommendations, and 21 that the
EPC felt contained relevant evidence
that may have been overlooked by

Task Force.

The Task Force delivered its reac-
tion to those 21 comments to Presi-
dent Fields yesterday, The Task
Force reiterated its recommen-

Force and proposed tuition and
room rent hikes.

Central Council Chairperson
David Coyne said a voter-
registration/letter-writing campaign
is underway in an effort to give
students a more effective voice in
governmental decision making. A
‘Student Association of the State Un-
iversity spokesperson said similar
programs are underway at other
SUNY schools.

A teach-in has been scheduled for
Monday morning in LC-23. Faculty
and student speakers will talk about

the implications of budgetary and
program cutbacks at SUNYA.
Proposed mass efforts will be dis-
cussed in a seminar-type setting.

The largest display of the
statewide student mobilization will
come Tuesday, witha march and ral-
ly at the Capitol. The SASU staff
predicts ten thousand students,
faculty, and support staff members
will participate

In addition to SUNY students,
those from City University and the
community colleges, as well as
members of the Civil Service

Review Reaches Fields

dations in most cases, adding
clarification and explanation where

the EPC had questioned the original

report.

Reactions from some programs,
solicited independently by the ASP,
appear on page four. A summary of
the EPC review of the 21 recommen-
dations in question follows, along
with the Task Force's response. A
third report, from the Executive
Committee of the University Senate,
assured Fields that the Task Force
and theEPC operated fairly. These
reports are available in full in the
library reserve section.

‘Summary

Fields asked the EPC to in-
vestigate whether the Task Force (1)
was guided by appropriate prin-
ciples(2) had procedures that would
assure all available evidence was
seen,(3) was reasonable and (4) met
the requirements of the Governor's
budget ina way that leaves the in-
stitution still wholesomely formed

for the future, The EPC, essentially,
answered yes to all four questions,
though they pointed out that it
would be difficult to answer question
three in the short time they had.

In evaluating the Task Force
procedures, the EPC said “the sub-
committee assignments and
membership were selected in such a
way asto preclude any direct conflict
of interest, Given the unavoidable
assignment of individuals to review
data concerning programs related
indirectly to their own, we were
assured that the subcommittees
reviewed data and drafted infor-
mation only, and that no formal
recommendations were made by
them to the Task Force as a whole...
decisions of a less severe effect, such
as the borrowing of a line for a year,
may have passed with a simple ma-
jority. Itshould be further noted that
‘almost all the major voles were un-
animous.”

Employees Association, the United
University Professionals, Inc,, and
the New York State United 7leachers
will be involved in the demonstra-
tion.

‘A SASU spokesperson reported
leaders from student ranks, the un-
ions, and the State Legislature are
slated to speak, SUNYA students
will march downtown from the
podium, while others will leave Lin-
coln Park, passing the Executive
Mansion, for the 2 p.m. rally.

Certain individuals and groups,
such as the Pan-Caribbean Associa-
tion, have expressed a reluctance to
participate, fearing a general protest
could hurt their efforts,

Coyne said Student Association,
in cooperation with SASU, is
attempting to combine separate
forces into one coalition of students,
faculty, and staff. He said, “We're
not saying ‘save this program,” we're
saying, ‘save all programs.” "

Cutbacks Oppored

SA officials say the
demonstrations may bea final attack
con the proposed cutbacks for SUNY
and CUNY, Monday is the deadline
for President Fields to submit a
budget request to SUNY Chancellor
Ernest Boyer.

‘A University Senate resolution
passed Monday requests SUNYA
instructors not to"administer exams
and not to take punitive action”
against students innext week's rally.

Vice President for Academic Af-
fairs Phillip Sirotkin stated,
however, that classes have not been
officially suspended. He announced
yesterday that “classes will be held as
scheduled Monday, March 15, and
Tuesday, March 16."

television stations have covered”
rallies and meeting held at the
Capitol.

~ In addition to this students ob-
tained 12,000 signatures on a peti
tion urging support of the SUNYA
nursing program. Senator Howard
C. Nolan of Albany received a copy
of the petition prior to meeting with
President Fields last week.

‘The Task Force recommendation
allows for all students presently
enrolled in the nursing program to
complete their degree requirements.

Faculty members have not yet
given much thought to facingthejob
market again, says Kane, According
to her, they are “more concernedwith
activities related to preserving the
program.” She adds however, that
“there arc unlimited opportunities”
for teaching in the nursing field and
letters come in daily indicating
vacancies in universities across the
country,

Kane believes the university will
Jose animportant programif nursing
is eliminated, since it is the only one
here that is health-science oriented,
she says.

‘The Art History department has
also been hard hit by the
recommended elimination of the
M.A, and B.A. programs.

Louise Drewer, Chairman of the
department, says that “the criticism,
of the task force was very subjective
‘and sometimes inaccur

“The task force claims that student
enrollment in Art History is declin-
ing, Drewer says that “in 1971 there
were 391 students enrolled in Art
History courses and this semester
there are 394. The number of Art
History majors has been fairly
steady for the last five years at about
35 students.”

The Task Force cites “dissension
and disorganization among the
faculty and inadequate resources” as
problems facing the Art History
department.

Drewer feels that the Task Force
may be confused, She says that there
was a negative evaluation of the
M.A. program in an outside
evaluators report done in spring
1974, However, that report only had
good things to say about the B.A.,
according to Drewer. She suggests
that the Task Force has unwittingly
lumped M.A. and B.A. together, at-
tributing this to short time span in
which the Task Force had to work.

Drewer calls the Task Force's
criticism “highly subjective” and
hopes that “Fields will take a closer
look at us.’

department have launched a letter-
writing campaign in hopes of
preventing the cuts, One faculty

South Africans Will Not Fight

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) “The whites represent the
blacks in Parliamem—so tell them
to represent us in this war.”

The wry statement, in a letter toa
newspaper, reflected the overwhelm-
ing attitude of African readers
answering the question, “Would you
fight for South Africa if we ure im
vaded from Angola”

Only 17 per cent said they would
fight, when the World. South
Africa's largest daily aimed ex-
clusively at Africans, invited readers
to write in on the issue.

rude shock if black leaders were

newspaper awarded prizes for the
best letters on each side.

Ephraim Maakane, who received
a top $37 prize for his letter, wrote:
“there is no home for blacks except
South Africa. Even long before the
whites came here it was our home.

outsider that we also are in posses-

CIA Picks on Otis Pike

WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Otis
Pike says a CIA official threatened
to destroy him after the House in-
telligence committee approved its
final report on spy agencies. but the
official angrily denied the story

Pike, (D-NY), who served as
chairman of the now-defunct panel,
told the House on Tuesday that CIA
counsel Mitchell Rogovin made his
threat in a telephone call to com-
mittee chief of staff A. Searle Field.

“Pike will pay for this, You wait
and see,” Pike quoted Rogovin as
telling Field. “I am serious. There
will be political retaliation for this.
You'll see. Any political ambition
Pike has in New York is through.
We'll destroy him for this."

Pike said Field wrote a memoran-
dum on the conversation but that he
personally had discounted
Rogovin's alleged remarks as being
made out of anger. He said heis un-
aware of any attempt so far to “get
him”

Rogovin angrily denied that he
made any threats. “Field's a God-
damned liar,” Rogovin said.

He said he and Field had a “big
fight” the night of the telephone call

SA Might Shift Budget Priorities

by Bryan Holsberg

SA's Executive Budget Com-
mittee has shifted priorities and
modified funding procedures while
Preparing their budget recommen-
dations for 1976—77, according to
Committee Chairperson Rich
Greenberg.

“Living areas are being given
greater priority,” says Greenberg.
“In the past, they've been shafted.
We'll probably [recommend] they be
budgeted a set amount per person in
the area, say, $5 per person.”

Greenberg explained that there is
hope that the recommendation will
deemphasize Quad Cards.

“A rider will be attached stating
that if any Quad event uses even $1
of SA funds, a Quad Card differen-
tial [for non-card holders] can't be
charged,” said Greenberg.

Apparently such activities as State
Quad's Tower East cinema would
not be affected if such a rider were
approved as Greenberg said that
“SA money is apparently not in-
volved with Tower East.”

Greenberg also said that “plus use

of income” funding procedures will
apparently be discontinued if both
SA President Andy Bauman and
Central Council approve the budget.

money generated was in effect used
however [the group] wanted.
Elimination of this practice will give
the controller more control over

Greenberg explained that in
evaluatingthe Budget, consideration
is directed to the quality, scope, and
cost of each group, the number of
students served, and past fiscal
responsibility and efficiency. Also
considered are group plans for
future programming. Greenberg said
the Chinese Club was an example of
this. Their appropriation was in-
creased to cover the New Year
celebration which was held this year
for the first time andis being planned
for next year,

Universities

When students break school rules,
the traditional way of doling out

justice is 10 drag them down to the
dean's office, lecture them sternly
and promptly suspend them. Case
opened, case shut and out theschool
door they go.

Yet an increasing number of
colleges are leaving tradition behind
and looking to the US court system
as a model for setting up school
judiciary systems. Students charged
with violating school regulations
now often receive written notices of
the charges against them, appear in
school court to present their defense
and have the opportunity to appeal
their punishment to a higher court.

Although the juries are usually
made up of faculty, administrators
and students, some school court
systems are manned entirely by
students.

‘The court system at the University
of Georgia, for instance, is made up
of a main court, which deals with
serious violations that might result
in suspension, a campus court,
which rules on dorm rule infractions
and a traffic court,

ment.

“Cheating, book theft and assault
are the three most common cases we
handle,” says one of the main court
justices, “but we also deal with all
drug cases and some cases involving
serious falsification of university
records.”

The J-Board at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute in New York is
also run by students, although
punishments are decided jointly by
the judiciary board and the ad-
ministration.

Cases have run the gamut from
federal crimes to fraternity frolics,
Last semester the J-Board meted out
justice to an electronics whiz who
decided to bypass Ma Bell bills and
drilled a hole in his dorm room wall
to wire into a pay telephone, four
students who were accused of steal-
ing tubs of ice cream from the Com-
mons by lowering them by ropes out
a second-story window, and a

spotted happily hosing down several
students with a fire extinguisher,

‘Classice— Task Force recommends
cutting Ph.D.

Chairman Hans Pohlsander:“The
Department of Classics represents
an intellectual discipline whichis not
only the oldest of all, but also central
to the humanities. This is why un-
iversities which are recognized for
the excellence of their graduate
programs invariably offer the Ph.D.
in Classics, This is true of univer-
sities in any part of the country,
‘whether private of public. Without a
Ph.D. program in classics, this un-
iversity will never be able to claim
true excellence for its graduate
programs, The termination of the
Ph.D. in classics would, therefore,
be a loss not only to the department,
but also tothe other humanities and
to the entire university,

“Since 1968 the Department of
Classics has, without the addition of
full-time faculty, more than doubled
its enrollment. We are now
operating at a faculty/student ratio
approaching that which prevails on
this campus at large. We view the
recommended loss of one faculty line
as an undeserved misfortune.

“The faculty and students of the

Ubrary end Information—Task
Force recommends cutting one line,
borrowing another.

Dean John J. Farley: “The Task

‘School of Library and Information
‘Science be reduced one faculty line
[as previously recommended by the
Select Committee] and that, in addi-
tion, one line be borrowed from the
School during 1976-77.

“We concurred last spring in the
one-line reduction and agreed not to
replace Professor Susan Smith who
retired on December 31, 1975.

“To replace Professor Dorothy
Cole who will retire in June 1976, we
have been conducting during the
current academic year, a vigorous
search for an appropriate junior
faculty member to further
strengthen the information science
aspects of the program. We have
found and have, asa faculty, cometo
an agreement upon a highly
qualified prospective appointee, Mr.
James Liinas. He happens to be a
minority-group member—the only
Spanish-American information
science specialist we have been able
to locate in several years of faculty
recruiting. Histeachingand research
specializations fit in uniquely with
the School's needs. He will receive
his Ph.D. in information science in
July 1976 from SUNY Buffalo. He
has had eleven years experience as a
research engineer and holds a degree
in library science with a speci
tion in library management and
systems. He is very highly
recommended.

“We've discovered that Mr. Liinas
is very much in demand and is being
interviewed in several universities
throughout the United States,
although he has indicated a
preference to join our faculty.

“Because of the attractiveness of

next Tuesday's rally at the State

to UUP President Samuel J.
Walkshull,

UUP is a statewide bargaining
unit for faculty and non-teaching
personnel, According to this in-
formed source, UUP has consistent-
ly been on record in opposition to
the way in which recent budget cuts
are being implemented.

Members of the SUNYA chapter
of UUP had adopted several
resolutions shortly after the
Presidential Task Force on
Priorities and Resources’
recommendations were released.

‘The first resolution, according to
the chapter president, Bruce Marsh,
was that “in substance, we do com-
mend the Task Force for being able
to meet the immediate crisis through
attrition.” Attrition involves making
use of faculty lines which become va-
cant through resignation, retire-
‘ment, non-renewal, etc,

‘As for the Task Force's
recommendations pertainingto 1977
and beyond, Marsh says, “We feel
that the time available to them [the
Task Force] was not sufficient to
give proper consideration to what
the future should be.”

According to Marsh UUP feels
that future plans need to be re~
examined’and re-evaluated.

In addition, UUP has resolved to
organize internal long-term plan-
ning committees which will provide

responses and alternative policies (0

costs, and FTE ratio, the Task Force
proceeded with its deliberations
separately and apart from the ad-

it did meet with President Fields and
staff to assess the degree of congruity
and progress toward the required
reductions, In the case of the
ministrative review as well,
ministrative input on ratings of units
was not made until after the Task
Force had begun its review of inter-
nal and external documentation,
the EPC is satisfied that the Task
Force worked independently and
that its report is the result ofits own
data review, deliberations, and
voting.”

Twenty-six academic and
ministration responses were “review-

vant evidence that may have been
overlooked by the Task Force, but
the EPC does not find the evidence
to be of sufficient weight to alter the
Task Force recommendations.”
‘Among these are the ‘Italian

the EPC made a comment. The Task

most cases that within the same fiscal
constraints, the units could make
some adjustments, Most of these
questions were left to President

‘Study Scrutinizes Requirements

Ever since the elimination of dis-
tribution requirements in 1970, ad-
ministrators and faculty have ex-
pressed a concern that students
‘aren't getting enough breadth in
thein studies. For the past two years,
‘Dean of Academic Affairs Robert B.
Morris, has gathered evidence to add
fuel to the controversy.

‘Based on SUNYA's May 1974 and
1975 baccalaureate degree recipients
[the first groups of students to befree
of degree requirements) Morris
analyzed the distribution of
scademic credit. Morris said, “The
Fesults of the studies show that a
large number of students in the past
have had good distribution in their
course work as undergraduates.”
But he added, “You find there are
differences from one discipline to
another.”

Morris said that the academic dis-
tribution of the 188 Humanities
‘graduates (1975) was “probably the
most significant finding” Citing
figures from the study Mortis
remarked, “these 188 students
‘average about two courses inscience

their selection of courses.” He said,
“Conversely, the greatest breadth in
terms of course selection by dis-
cipline or area of study was found to
be the students in the natural
sciences and mathematics.” Accor-
ding to Mortis they “took
significantly more courses” that

PHI ALPHA THETA

provided them breadth.

Overall, the results of the studies
have brought about some reaction
from members of the University
Senate, “Probably the most impor-
tant reaction” said Morris, “isthe ac-
tion taken by the Educational
Policies Council (EPC) where they
suggested that we reconsider the
meaning of a liberal education. . «1
think the studies provided specific
evidence for the need to consider
that question."Last November the
EPC recommended that distribution
requirements be reinstituted.

Morris, who claims not to favor
distribution requirements, does
think there will be some changes in
university policy with regards to
academic requirements. “I don't
know how soon” he mentioned, “but
I think there will besome changes.”

When asked if he thought his
studies would be responsible for
those policy changes, Morris replied,
“Only to the.extent that the studies
provide evidence of past behavior of
students in course selection when

given free choice. . . I wouldn't at-
tribute any future changes diretly to
the studies.”

Although Morris doesn't favor
distribution requirements per se, he
‘does favor a changein policy. Accor-
ding to Mortis, students generally
should seek more course breadth.
“Part of the answer” said Morris, “is
a limitation on the number of credits
a student can take in their own
department, .. that’s. where 1
think 1 would stan." Morris also
feels that students should be re-
quired totake a minimum number of
credits in other academic divisions.

Morris plans to continue his
studies of course distribution by in-
cluding 1976 and 1977 SUNYA
graduate. In this time of budgetary
crisis, Morris asserts that the study is
“not that expensive.” Although he
hasn't figured the exact cost, Morris
estimates that initially, in 1974, the
study cost about $1900. However,
after the basic development he said
the whele project annually costs on
the order of $600-700.

Zahm Claims Rathskeller

by Beverly Hearn

Although the Rathskeller Pub tas
drawn large crowds since it opened
last October, FSA Director E.
Norbert Zahm says it is currently
operating at a loss,

‘The bar was built during the
summer of 1975 in response to stu-
dent effort of the FSA Board of
Directors. The intent of the facilityis
toservethe students of the university
community. In order to enter the
pub, you must havea university ILD,

Live entertainment, movies, and
specials on food and drink are
provided by the pub. For example,
on February 14, 1976, an eight-foot
long Valentine's Day cake was given
away, and special Valentine's Day
drinks were available.

Says Manager Les Hynes, “When
wwe dothese things, very often we will
lose money on evenings like this—
but it is a service to the student.”

Movies are available on a weekly
basis, On Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday nights, there is live enter-
tainment and movies are shown
between entertainment breaks.

According to Hynes, all his enter-
tainment resources are culled from
SUNYA's students.

‘Changes have occurred since the
pub's inception, and more are being
planned.

Maplewood tables replaced the
pub's plastic cafe tables,

‘Atape deck will be installed —now
there is only ajukebox. Atalent con-
test will be instituted with prizes
given to the best performer of the
week.

When the pub first opened, mixea
drinks were 75e with one ounce of li-

quor. Then, prices were raised to 908
for 1%-1%4 ounces of alcohol. Now
the price has been reducedto 75¢for
a drink containing 14-1% ounces of
alcohol. Happy Hour will returh.
Says Assistant Manager Paul Ar-
nold, “We want to give them
[students] someplace to go on cam-
pus where the possibility of driving
while intoxicated, gettinginto fights,
etc, is eliminated.” He said, “We're
here to serve these students. We
wanted to do something for the
students because nothing was going
‘on in this building. We are quite
proud of the rathskeller and want to

\

continue to keepit as nice as possible
and operateit ina professional way.”
‘Arnold explained that he doesn't
want the pub to become a sloppy,
rowdy area. He said that student
response has been overwhelming
Students have expressed satisfaction
with the way the pub is policed as
well as with the pub itself,
Snack Bar « Plenle
But Jerry Goldhagen said, “I's
just like an indoor picnic area, as far
as I'm concerned. No matter what
they do, it's still going to be like it's
part of the snack ber.” He said,
“They should build a wall between

Pub

the snack bar and the rest of the pub
to separate it from the snack bar,
‘SUNY Binghamton haslow ceilings,
pool tables, a more cozy at-
mosphere.” He added that the jazzis
good but the folksingers “stink.” He
would rather go any place else to
drink than here. “Nothing can im-

we the SUNY architecture,” he

said,

‘One girl who works behind the bar
said it is packed every Thursday
night, but she disqualified herself as
being biased, Another girl stated
flatly, “I don't like it—the
aimosphere—it's too crowded and

Loses Money.

‘one based on the project being
finished, Zahm explained that the
figures for direct operating expenaes
for the fiscal year are somewhat out
of line, because the pub's sales have
doubled. He said as business
doubles, new bartenders must be
hired and this was not in their
original budget.

Zahm says that an approximate
projection for pub sales was $63,000,
which has already been reached this
year. The budget was set up in
February 1974, with final approval
in May. A new FSA Board of Direc-
tors was appointed in September
1974, The new board had ideas for
improvements for the pub. Accor-
dingto Zahm, they are talking about
a complete renovation package,
which will cost more money,

Wall's Future in Question

Ori an allocation between
$5,000 and $7,000 was set aside for
putting in the bar itself, The
possibility of buying furniture and
making additional renovations was
considered, but no money was set
aside for this last year, Last year, a
wall costing $45,000 was brought up
for consideration, but the students
‘on the FSA Board this year don't
want a wall built

‘On a $65,000 investment, the pub
procured a net return (income) of
15%, which is $9,900 in actual net in-
come. Zehm points out that sales

Contracts with Universities

bby the College Press Service

‘The CIA will be allowed to enter
into research contracts with univer-
sities due to an executive order on
foreign intelligence recently issued
by President Ford. The only stipula-
tion is that a university's top officials
know that the funding came from the
CIA.

A White House spokesperson ex-
Plaining Ford's order stressed the
‘CIA's need for academic research.

‘The Presidential order authorizes
the CIA to enter into “contracts and
arrangements” for “classified or un-
classified research . .. with academic
institutions,” as long as top schoo!
administrators know about the CIA
‘sponsorship.

The Ford order modifies to some
extent an executive order made in
1967 by Lyndon Johnson, barring
secret CIA funding of educational
and other non-profit organizations,
Johnson's order was given after
Ramparts Magazine had revealed
that the CIA secretly financed the
National Student Association and
several other groups,

Before the 1967 directive, there

kind of confidential contact with the
CIA.

At least one covert university con-
nection with the CIA existed after a
1967 directive by Johnson. The
director of the news bureau at the
Washington University Medical
School, in St. Louis, supplied the
CIA with information about
members of the medical school
faculty who traveled abroad. For
cight years the news director kept the
CIA informed of certain professors’
activities.

Harvard University has also had
recent connections with the CIA. In
1969, a contract of $80,000 was paid
by the CIA for computer intelligence
gathering experiments.

A coaltion of parents and
vative Christian clergy fled nal
recently to halt the teaching of
‘Transcendental Meditation in the
New Jersey public schools

high schools which introduces th

The Republican Party in
Minnesota has come up with anovel
solution to its problem of attracting
‘new registrants: it has simply chang-
ed its name,

A recent Gallup Poll found that
when voters were asked to describe
their party affiliation, the
Republican party finished a poor
third behind both the Democrats
and the Independents.

In Minnesota, the solution was
simple: the Party has officially
changed its name from the
“Republican Party" to the
“Independent-Republican Party’.

BOOK CROOK

Robert Barnes of Minneapolis,
the author of a book called Are You
Safe From Burglaries?, has been
sentenced to three terms in prison of
up to five years each.

Barnes was convicted last month
for his part in engineering five
burglaries.

VOTE BUYING

How much does it cost a Political
Party to get your vote?

‘An analysis of the 1972 campaign
by The Syracuse New Times in-
dicates parties spend anywhere from
27 cents to a whopping $6.50 per

vote. The People’s Party was the
mont economical, spending iust 27
cents for each vote it received.
Republicans forked out $1.05 per
vote; while Democrats spent $1.65
per vote.

‘The biggest spenders were the
‘Communist Party at $4.88 per vote;
and the Libertarian Party at a record
$6.50 per favorable vote.

IN ZILCH WE TRUST
A University of Michigan study
has found that young persons and
their parents are growing increasing
ly cynical and mistrustful of their

government.

The study, conducted by the Un-
iversity’s Institute of Social
Research on 2000 young people and
their parents, found that during the
years 1965 through 1973, mistrust of
the Government more than doubled
among parents, and tripled among
their offspring.

‘The study found that the genera-
tion gap which appeared to un-
bridgeable in the 1960's is rapidly
closing, mainly because of a growing
lack of trust in government among
young people and their parents.

FREER SEX
=A special Swedish Government
Committee, in a surprisingly frank
report, has recommended that all
laws against incest—that is
between brother and sister or child
and parent—be abolished.

The committee, composed of
seven experts in medicine, sexual
research and law, recommended to
Swedish Parliament that all incest —
except relations between an adult
and a young boy or git! under his or

her care—should be permitted in

‘Sweden.

‘The Committee said it reviewed
most ethical and generic reisons for
forbidding incest and had “Not
found these reasons of such impor-
tance that they would justify con-
tinued legal prohibition.”

The seven experts also
recommended that sexual inter-
course be legally permitted as early

as age 14, and that the word
homosexual,’ be banned from
legislation dealing with sex, so that
all homosexuals would be treated in
the same manner as heterosexuals,

Grenier says he's offering the

won't let things get that bad agsin
the next time around.”

ANTI-SNUFFERS

Groups of New York feminists are
attempting to stop the showing in
Times Square of the controversial
movie, “Snuff.”

“Snuff” purports to show the real-
live murder and dismemberment of
fan unsuspecting woman actress on
the screen, Most critics who have
seen thefilm report that the so-called
real-live murder is actually a poorly
done fake,

However, several feminist groupe
have lodged complaints with New
York City and Federal officials, con-
tending that the movie presents the
idea of a woman being murdered on
the screen as a titilating thing,

The House Select Committee on
Intelligence, chaired by Otis Pike
(D-NY), found that the CIA had
violated Johnson's orders against
covert funding for universities
Although publication of the com-
mittee’s report on the CIA was

Portions that were leaked to the

But that's what the Salesians of St. John Bosco aro
about — a large family of community-minded men dedicated
to the service of youth. (And no one gets lost.)

In the 1800's a chance meeting between a poor
priest and a street urchin served fo create a movement of such
Success that itis still growing today, Don Bosco became the
priest who brought youth back from the streets — and
back to God.

He reasoned that a program of play, learn and pray would
make useful citizens of the world, He crowded out evil with
teason, religion and kindness in a (what was then unheard of)
atmosphere of family spirit.

The ideals of St. John Bosco are still with us today. His
work goes on in boys clubs, technical and academic schools,
guidance center missions, And his very
human approach is very evident in the family spirit of the
Salesians, This is the way he wanted It. This is the way itis.
The Salesian experience isn't learned — I's lived.

For muny years the growth of the humanities has
been marked, The number of Art History majors
registered in 30 selected universities (Harvard, Yale,
Vassar, etc.) in 1961 was 199, By 1974 the number had
soared to 2985 (34 schools), This type of meteoric
growth has been apparent in all visual arts endeavors,
‘The greater importance of the mass media (particularly
n) and the public institutions of art, speak of a
visually oriented culture, Rather than frustrating these
tendencies, New York inthe past has. encouraged them.

The Arts: Albany’s
Debt to Learning

by Stephen Eisenman
and Naomi Friedlander

The recent proposals by President Field's Task Force
greatly reduce the opportunities for gaining knowledge
at this university. The cuts in the humanities should be
studied closely; those made in English, Comparative
World Literature,
especially drastic and need to be re-examined

To eliminate the Art History program would be to
rob Albany of a most important vehicle for human
understanding and discovery. The visual arts have given
man many moments of supreme insight, The discovery

appreciation of the works of art in the area, Albany is
the only institution in the area that
History program. It would be sorely missed.

It is not merely a matter of financial imperatives, The
university had decided torre-structure, The lost teaching
lines inthe Humanities will be gained elsewhere. This, in
the mistaken belief that student demand for Art History
has greatly decreased. The figures do not bear this out.
In Fall, 1971, the total enrollment for all Art History
courses was 366, The number in 1975 was 360; a
remarkably consistent figure considering the
documented decrease in overall humanities enrollment,
‘The number of majors, too, has been consistent,
hovering at around 36 for the past five years

Seymore Slive stated the matter eloquently in his
report on the Visual Arts ten years ago:

revolutionary advances in science and affected by
radical technological changes, there are growing

“Now, what were we talking about? *
Jan asks, smiling innocently at her con-
fidante. “Oh yes, the men in my life.”

The bright blue eyes flash with
laughter, with tension, with excitement,
and the straight-haired head bobs gently.

The long legs, covered by a long
lavender dress, are stretched luxuriously
across a shiny wooden table top; the
slender figure is perched neatly in a white
vinyl dining room chair.

“Let's see... ." she reflects.

‘Then the 21-year old teacher, therapist,
Michigan State grad student, and
liberated woman ala Isadora Wing/ Erica
Jong, leans forward and confesses in a
hushed voice.

“The men in my life. David Bomb,
whose parents were going to name him
‘Adam Bomb, but whose mother changed
it the last minute, David Adam Bomb,
who was 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed
250 pounds at 17, had frizzy hair in two
poofs like a clown; and was very large and
round and rotund.”

Her fingers promptly shoot out from
her ears and her stomach in swirling
motions to demonstrate the poofs and the

roundness.
“Now at 21, David Bomb is still 5'5",

but wears heels to make him 5'7" and is a
bit thinner, but not much.”

“David Adam Bomb worshipped me,”
she continues, simply. “He thought I was

{ fantastic. He was the first person | ever

Men!!!

took No-Doz with. | was afraid to take
No-Doz myself.”

At this, Jan throws her head back and
laughs.

The soft white facial skin glows under a
single ceiling light.

The light hair dances across her
forehead and she sweeps it away with a
pale hand whose pointed nails seem to cut
the space around her,

For hours, she has been floundering
around the small New Hampshire trailer
home, contemplating her sundry adven-
tures with the male sex.

“So, David Bomb was madly and
passionately in love with me," she main-
tains, “but I found him to be a twirp. At
this time in his graduate career, he en-
joyed wearing a black leather hat, black
‘cape, and red thermal sweat pants, and
carried his father’s machete from Spain.
He loved to zoom across my room. Can
you just picture it?” she asks, the head
bobbing.

Soon Jan is quiet. Pulling her legs from
the table, she carefully smoothes out her
dress,

Then, with a swift jerk, she rises and
walks to the window, and watches the
December snow fall softly, in tune with
the murmur of a nearby brook,

Placing forehead to pane, she chuckles
once more—a high screechy sound, a bit
like a wheeze.

“It's all quite absurd, really,” the young,
therapist continues, relaxing again.

“At school, I hung out inthe stairwells,
1 met all the other stairwell types, Now,
this is grad school—you figure you don't
meet these any more, ones that come up
to you and snicker, ‘Hey, lady, you really
have a bedroom voice.’

“Shall I tell you about Chuck? Chuck
Wagon, hunky man, who whispered, ‘I'd
like to travel in your gully.”

She shakes her head fiercely and the
fine hair smacks against her cheeks. She
mutters, indignantly.

“Chuck Wagon. The ultimate injustice.

He is grease, he is vomit. Get this—he in-
vited me to a wienie roast that started at
12:00 at night, at his house. How thefuck
did he think I'd get home?”

“The eyes are wide and angry, but with
a spark of amusement glisteningthrough,
Jan begins to talk faster, immersing
herself in the memories,

“Then there was a man from Uganda,
My roommate’s boyfriend. I was in my
sleeping bag and he asked if he could
craw! in there with me. He made some

subtle passes, wrote a few love letters,

There waxs a lot of cultural bullshit.”
“Then Gary, another stairwell type,
was after my ass, So | started “acting all
snippy and mean, and he couldn't unders-
tand it. But,” she stresses, “rather than
having all these goons pantingat you, you
have to be mean and unreceptive.

By the end of the night, Jan is weary,
She paces the room, often pausing by the
windows to watch the whiteness, She\had
‘come to New Hampshire to relax, to en-
joy the snow, to escape academia, and
mostly, to flee from a painful romance.

“Let’s see what else I could tell you,”
she says thoughtfully, the eyes intense,
sharp like her fingernails,

“J suppose it all comes down to Robert
Martin, who flew me around in his
father’s mini-jet, to houses in Chicago
and Wisconsin, Robert Martin, who's
deeply in love with me, but goes to Aspen
Colorado to fuck a million and one snow
bunnies. Who broke his thumb skiing,
but still skis and still fucks, but tries to put
Jan on the shelf, thinking he can reach
for her whenever he wants, The one man
who keeps her going in some sort of
rebellion against him...”

pierce the air and the voice trai

‘Taxi Driver’:
Valid Insights

by Stephen Eisenman

Taxi Driver, directed by Martin
Scorsese, is a troubling film. It is at
‘once a powerful evocation of the
decay of N.Y.C., an insight into the
psychopathic personality, and an ex-
ploitation of the new “cult of
violence.” Each of these elements
combine to form a frightening visual
experience.

Travis, an ex-marine, livesin a run
down apartment in N.Y.C. He has
trouble sleeping;
job as a taxi driver, He agrees to
work any part of the city, so long as
he can work long hours. We follow
the movements of his
the streets of New York picking up
rich and poor, hookers and johns,
pimps and pushers, It is a nightime
N.Y, that fills our senses. It isa New
York that is decayed and decaying,
where an open hydrant that sprays
the cab is welcomed, It refreshes the
audience just as it refres
children of Bedford Stuyve:
the colors and sounds of the city
begin to merge as our insights into
Travis’ mind build.

Robert DeNiro as Travis, gives an
outstanding performance. His por-
trayal of the crisis in Travis’ life,
when Travis feels that he must “do
something” (“I got bad thoughts
runnin’ around up here,” he tells a
fellow cabbie) is remarkable. He
becomes a man possessed by hatred
of the filth he sees around him, The
human vipers that inhabit the city
are his target. Yet his wrath is blind,
he directs it first at a candidate for
President, Thwarted in his assasina-
tion attempt, he murders the pimp of
a 12 year old whore and some un-

derworld figures, Yet his rage and
sickness are not understood. This
man whose arsenal of weapons could
arm a militia, whose wrath carried
him blindly into murder, is lauded as
hero. The film ends, and the
audience can breathe again. Scorsese
has recognized that there are noeasy
explanations for the behavior of men
like Travis. He does not bombard us
with close-ups or wild soliloquys. He
presents the character in a bold and
assertive manner without resort to
cliche or contrivance.

Yet Scorsese's viewpoint lacks a
single direction, How does this
man's behavior reflect upon society
at large? There have always been
deviants, but whereisthe connection
between this man and his city,
between American society in the
1970's and the decay of New York?
Indeed is this a valid reflection of
New York, or ist toosick, too dark?

Perhaps the most eloquent sta
‘ment about the American mentality
comes in the end of the film when the
Violence that had been brooding
erupts onto the screen; the ketchup
runs freely, Here is an exploitation
of the American penchant for guns
and violence, When Travis pulls out
his 357 Magnum, the audience gasps
in fear and excitement

We are a nation that loves it's
weapons, it's toys. Scorsese has
supplied us with toys. In the film,
violence is rewarded. In society,
Violence is rewarded. Here is both
the triumph and the tragedy of
Scorsese's film, It is a document
about our battle seared society; yet
it suggests no answers, when we most
need them.

OND THE DARKNESS

-Or Distorted Reflections?

by Paul E. Horan

Martin Scorsese's new film Taxi
Driver is a naturalist's delight. I say,
“naturalist”, because it depicts the
seamy and sensational side of New
York City not in a realistic way, but
in the exaggerated manner of
naturalism,

Our tour-guidethrough Scorsese's
urban metaphor is Travis Bickle
(Robert De Niro) an insomniac cab
driver. Bickle takes us through his
night-shift Manhattan, a bleak neon
landscape, inhabited by pimps,
hookers, and junkies, who he fondly
describes as: “The lowest scum,”
Bickle narrates the film with
passages from his diary and he
emerges as a victim of the city: i's
alienation, loneliness, but most im-
portant, it’s hypocrisy, Junkies make
him sick, but he's forever popping
pills. Pimps and prostitutes are
scum, but Bickle spends his off hours
in a cheap porno-film house.

Finally salvation comes into his
life, He falls in love with an “Angel”
named Besty (Cybil Shepherd), a
political campaign girl from upstate.
Bickle hopes that Besty will save him
from his own personal hell of
Jonliness as well as the physical hell
of the city. The affair comes to an
abrupt end, and he relents that she
was “just like all the rest"

Frustrated, Travis confides to the
veteran-cabbie, rd” (Peter
Boyle), that he's plagued by “bad
thoughts." Wizard responds that
“after a few years aman becomesthe
job.” Bickle, however becomes the
city. He becomes his own hell, Some
men may lead lives of quiet despera-
tion, but Bickle, an ex-marine,
chooses a life of violent retribution.
He becomes the self-appointed
saviour of New York. He takes up a
strenuous regimen of exercise and
firearms training and while his body
is being built up, hie mind

deteriorates, Bickle finally is ready
for action, and ina scene reminiscent
of the ending of Robert Altman's
Nashvillle, he attends a political rally
to assassinate Besty's candidat
Pallantine, His “Arthur Bremer’
like plans are thwarted, but
escapes to fight another day.

Travis realizes he can't save the
whole world so he tries for a little
piece, He returns to a sleazy
neighbourhood to liberate the other
woman in his life, Iris (Jodie Foster),
twelve year-old prostitute, He had
previously sent her money so she
could escape from her pimp. Bickle
‘enters the dingy hotel and a blood-
bath, filmed in slow motion, ensues.
Still alive at the finale, Bickle stands
in the room with the hysterical Iris
tand puts a pistol to his head. Bickle
clicks the empty gun in desperate
frustration, There seems to be no
way out, not even suicide, Bickle
then dies and goes straight to hell,
which in Scorsese's film means he
recovers and goes back on the street
to his cab,

The filming of Taxi Driver was
done on location and this must have
created many problems. Those
problems are further exaggerated by
the cinematography, which is often
as shoddy as it is pretentious.
Michael Chapman uses his moving
cameras with the refinement of a
New York City tourist. Cameras are
strapped to all parts of the cab's
anatomy, and indoors, shoulder-
mounted cameras are bumped and
jostled.

As for the acting in Taxi Driver,
Cybil Shepherd confounded me once
again with her total lack of acting
ability. She has all the depth and
polish of a piece of office furniture
Jodie Foster ax Iris, fares much
better. The role could have easily
been disposed of in caricature, but
she takes it seriously, Her Iris is a

le

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

child forced to be a woman, and
forced to be a whore, Her resigna-
tion and latent dreams underline
Bickle's desperate plight,

But the acting in the film is
dominated by Robert De Niro, who
plays the troubledBickleHistast role
fas the young Vito Coreleone, in
Godfather Part Two, was exceeding-
ly good, considering the role had
ready been defined by Marlon
Brando, De Niro’s Bickle is a bright
man, but one who's perceptions are
severely limited, De Niro plays these
limitations superbly. He underplays
4 portrait in urban pathology that
might have been overplayed by any
number of other actors. De Niro
prepared for the film by actually
driving a cab in New York beforethe
filming, Asun actor, he has complete
control of his body on screen, par-
ticularly his facial gestures. He has a
gilt for economy in his acting and
movement which allows him great
levity and free range in his character
projection

But De Niro's performance, no
matter how strong, cannot redeem
the film. The main flaw perhaps lies

biguous, chat it seems as though thir-

nutes are edited from the film,
rsese has gambled and given
the public an interesting but an ugly
and flawed movie, Unlike his last
work Alice Doesn't Live Here
Anymore, Taxi Driver offers little
solution, no salvation, and little
humour. Robert De Niro, on the
other hand has managed to give us
‘an amazing portrayal against all the
‘odds, and has won recognition as a
rising artist, | suggest that you wait
for his next film, Fitzgerald's The
Last Tycoon, that screen-play is be
ing scripted by English playwright
Harold Pinter, and it should prove
very interesting.

Th the carly darkness I could see the
outlines of the buildings along the water-
front and the traviers and boats tied tothe
wharfs or bouyed furtHer out in the bay.
They were shadowy and ill defined except
where the moon cut a shaft of light across
the water, giving off the dreamy quality of
‘an impressionist painting. The only reali-
ty hung in the pungent odor of fish.

“I, don't think you're gonna like
fishing,” Dominick Montagnino said. He
was short and full with a tan face and a
raspy throat that made him sound more
gruff than heintended, I said | was willing
to wait and see and he laughed. Underthe
baseball cap and the plastic rimmed
glasses he looked more like a street ven-
dor than a captain but the voice had
authority in it. He took one of my bags
and we walked down to the wharf.

‘The “Curlew” had been a dark green
once and there were traces of gray where
the paint had chipped but the color had
dulled from the ocean air and water and
the metal fittings were all rusted brown.
She was roughly cighty feet long, with a
high bow and a rounded stern and a mast
that jutted up high in the middle of the
deck. “Twenty-five years ago she was a
beauty,” Montagnino said, “but now
these wood boats are out of date. It's not
worth it to the owners to keepthem up.”

He showed mearound: Theforcastle or
“foc’sile” where the crew sleeps, the stern
below where the engine is housed, the box.
upon the aft deck that is the galley andthe
box above that, the wheelhouse,

“When you're walking on deck always
hold on to something,"he said,

“You got any blankets?”

“E've got a sleeping bag.”

“Pit get you some blankets, a sleeping
bag is not god if you've got to get upina
hurry.” We climbed up the ladder to the
wheelhouse and waited for the rest of the
crew to show.

It was completely dark now except for
the harbor lights and the moon. “What do
you want to go fishing for?” The state-
ment was more rhetorical then question-
ing. “You went to college, you should get
work in an office.” 1 told him I had
dropped out and saw the disapproval in
his face.

“My father used to fish out of Boston
when | was a kid. I’d ask him to take me
with him but he always said no so one
time I snuck aboard his boat. He found
me before we sailed and pulled me off by
the hair and gave me a good beating. Our
family had been fishermen before they left
Italy but he didn't want me doing it. I
took my son out when he was a kid but he
didn't likeit and I'm glad. Now he’sin real
estate, That's smart, that’s what you
should do. Fishing’s no life. I've been do-
ing this for forty-eight years. When my
father died I didn’t have any choice but
it's no way to make a living” He wasn't
complaining, it was just advice.

Someone was cursing on the dock and
Montagnino switched on the deck light.
Two men staggered aboard, looked up to
us and waved. One disappeared downthe
hatch of the foc’sile, the other stood un-
certainly on deck. In the light I could see
the severe features of his face, fringed
with a growth of shining white stubble
and white hair that made himlook asif he

had been hewn out of granite. He looked
like a creation of Melville or Joseph Con-
rad. His face had been on the Bounty,
rounded the Horn, fought at
‘Trafalgar and generally shouted and
grimaced and cursed in the harsh tradi-
tion of the sea. He faced away from the
wind, unzipped his fly and peed un-
romantically on the deck.

“I can't allow any booze on board,”
Montagnino “If I did these guys
would be at it all night.”

The four other crew members showed
up more somber and sober, with the
resigned air of hopelessness and vague
futility that people go to work with on
Monday morning. They were committed

their three or four days off, then gotosea
again. Its a routine made haphazard by
the weather,

I stayed in the wheelhouse and listened
to Montagnino swear his way through the
harbor traffic and talk fish prices over the
radio with an incoming trawler. “The
biggest thing you gotta worry about these
days is getting run into,” Montagnino
said after we hit the open sea, “A few

enough away, then he sank ours andtwo
other trawlers with his deck cannon. He
was pretty decent about it, He could have
just let us have it, We grouped the
lifeboats together and rowed home. We
were glad to be alive.”

He lapsed into silence, perhaps in
greatful memory to the decency of the
U.Boat captain. The sea rolled under the
“Curlew,” giving her a mesmerizing sway

as she headed for the fishing banks 209
miles east. As Captain, Montagnino had
the first two hour watch. The rest of the
men took their turn with the wheel
through the night. There is no status of
command in fishing, the Captain, the
Mate, and the Cook all get a higher
percentage of the profit for their extra
troubles. But what the Captain says goes.

“You oughtta sleep, we start at dawn.
Do you get seasick?” That was not a
rhetorical question,

“I don't know, I've got some pills.”

“Abb, pills don't do anything. | hope
you don’t get sick. Be careful when you
cross the deck. Goodnight.”

The deck had developed a bad habit of
fall yy when you lifted your foot up
then rising too suddenly to meet the nest
foot coming down. The ladder down to
thefoc’sile had more certainty toit but the
bare bulb that lit the room took away all
stability with its swinging. A few of the
men sat around the hatchway smoking
They all looked to bein their fifties or six-
ties and spoke to cach other about their
wives and children with the interest of
people who aren't close but have known
each other for a long time. They nodded
to me and shook hands and I joined in the
ritual pre-sleep cigarette.

The light bulb, the smoke, and the
crash of the bow over cach new wave set
odds against my stomach making it
through the night. I took off my boots
and climbed into a bunk built like a shelf
into the wall of the hull. It was damp and
cool and I let myself fall in with the mo:
tion and sound of the sea onthe other side
of the wall. A trickle of water ran down
the wood in the bunk across from meinto
someones face.

“Shit, this goddamned bucket is leak-
ing already,” someone said.

Four men, each holding a dumble-like
weight stitched with thick rope to the
orange net, walked over to the starboard
side and dropped it over the railing into
the sea five feet below. The net, dragged
by cables connected forward and alt
opens like a bag under water, snaring
whatever swims into it. “Someone almost
caught a submarine once,” Zeke, the
Mate, told me, “but it ripped through the
net and got away.” One eye gleamed with
his smile but the other glinted a bit too
much in the sun. They were a pretty good
match; you had to look closely to see that
one was glass.

The cable played off the side of the
trawler by a rolling winch until the net
sank to desired level. The “Curlew” tilted
slightly from its drag and Montagnino,
steering after the electronic blecps
emitted from the “Fischfinder,” steamed
the ship in widening circles.

The “Fischfinder", an underwater
sonar system that sends electronic im-
pulses bouncing off the fish swimming in
schools beneath the sea, has turned trawl-
ing into more of a science. In the past
there had been educated guesswork but
back then the fish had been more plentiful
and you didn't need more than a vague
idea of where to look. Still, the element of
luck counts strong and for the next two
hours there's nothing to do but sleep or
read and hope for a good catch when the
net is hauled in,

“You make sure you stand clear of that
cable when its moving. It can cut you up
bad,” a gaunt faced fisherman told me
over lunch, He spoke without morbid in-
tent in an accent that might have becn
Finnish or Scandanavian. “A few years
back, Somebody fell into one and it took
his arm off, The coast guard helicopter
picked him up pretty quick but they left
the arm behind. One of the men packedit
inthe ice below and brought it back tothe
hospital. The doctors were able to sew it

his pocket where they are kept during
meals to keep from spilling and sipped
thoughtfully. “He's getting so he can
move his fingers pretty good.” The story
‘was part awe at the wonders of modern
science, part educational illustration of
why you should look out for yourself.

‘The men ate with one hand braced
against the boards nailed around the table
to keep the dishes and themselves from
sliding off. Through the galley portholes I
could see the ocean, then the sky, then the
ocean again as the “Curlew” bounced
high and low with the waves. Sometimes
too, I could seethe Russian, German, and
Japanese ships spread out like atask force
along the horizon.

Most of the foreign fishing fleet operate
like an assembly line, centered around
huge steel trawlers that process and
package their catch on board then load
the finished product into the holds of the
smaller vessels that bringthem home, The
majority of American trawlers work in-
dependently, taking in their own catch.
Although they themselves work over the
edge of the 200 mile limit they resent what
they consider to be the foreign intrusion
into their waters.

“I'd hate to be on one of those mother
ships,” granite face, whose name was
Leroy, said. “They stay out for three
months at a stretch then they change
crews. One of them, a Russian I think,
had some trouble once and pulled into
Glouscester for repairs. They wouldn't
give the crew leave to go into town so

they had a whore come aboard. You
should have seen them yell at. those
women on the dock when they left.”

“That's bullshit kid, don’t listen to
him,” the Cook said. He didn't think
much of Leroy.

“No, it's not, I saw‘em.”

“Bullshit.” Leroy and the Cook
glowered at each other.

“You got a girlfriend?” the maybe-finn
asked me. He had the makings of a
diplomat.

“No.”

“There are plenty of fine ladies in
Glouscester.” Leroy winked at me and
smiled with a smile that suggested
boundless, unspeakable lusts.

“Stay away from those whores kid,” the
cook said. “As soon as your done with
them you'll spend the rest of the night
wondering why youdid.” Leroystarted
tosay something but the Finn shot a ques-
tion at me to change the subject. “How
old are you?”

“Nineteen.”

“How would you like to be his age
again, Paul?”

‘The cook, standing by the stove with a
pot of coffee in his hand looked down at
me, He was a tall, heavy Irishman who
had graduated from Holy Cross in
Massachusetts and served as a Com-
mander in the Pacific Fleet during the
war. Later he had been a real estate
broker, aninsurance salesman anda cook

irony that showed now in the raised
eyebrows and played down smile, “No,”
he said, “Once is enough.”

There is a sense of restrained expecta-
tion when the net suddenly bobs up from
underwater like a well stuffed orange ball,
With the engine cut, the sea seems
stronger as it washes against the hull and
the crying of the gulls gets louder. The
winches turn inward, hauling the net
aboard until it swings like a pendulum
from the mast. Someone pulls the cord
that ruptures the bottom of the net and
the fish slide through the hole onto the
deck like sand spilling through an hour
glass. Then they get separated, cleaned,
and stored.

The ocean perch, or redfish, destined to
become MacDonald's fish sandwiches,
are too small to be gutted and boned on
board. They make upthe majority of each
catch and are segregated into a mound
while someone prys off one of the
manhole-like covers that lie flush with the
deck over the hold. A wheelbarrow
Without the undercarriage is pulled by
cable and winch across the deck, stuffing
them down into the hold where they are
packed in ice by the mate,

The larger fish, the cod, hake, and had-
dock, always less in number than the red-
fish, are piled together to have their
bellies slit andl their bowels pulled out,
‘They are thrown intoa wooden trough on
deck and hosed down before they are
stored in a different part of the hold.

Then there are the garbage fish; the
skate and other weird, flatbacked
minimonsters that remain nameless ex-
cept to the oceanographers and marine
biologists who go down to the sea in
bathescapes, Unedible, they are stabbed
up with small pointed pitch forks and
flicked over the side. It's harder during

the rough days, struggling for balance
upon an uncertain deck boot~deep in a
pile of fish. There is a knack to dodging
the spray thrown by the waves breaking
cover the railing but sometimes it hits full
inthe face and runs uncomfortably down
the inside of the foul weather gear. After
each haul, the deck is hosed down,
washing the blood and guts and other
refuse over the side to be pecked by the
gulls and gulped by the sharks.

Fishermen hate sharks. They make
things much worse if someone goes over
the side and have an annoying tendency
to attack a drifting net. Sometimes they
get entangled and rip it apart in the wild
panic of sudden captivity, If they fight
their way out the resulting damage can
keep a crew up sewing half the night. If
they don't get out, they're hauled in with
the catch and allowed to flop half their life
cout onthe deck until it’s safe to cut the tail
off and throwthem back into the seato be
finished by fellow sharks,

After eight days at sea the“ Curlew" left
the sharks, the Russians, the Japanese,
the Germans and the grand fishing banks
behind. There was enough fresh water left
to shave with and more food in the galley
to eat but most of the people slept on the
ride and saved the cleaning and feasting
until after the hold was unloaded. Mon-
tagnino swore his way throughthe harbor
traffic with less feeling than he had ex-
pressed on the outbound run and parked
the trawler against the same wharf she
had left from.

“We had a reporter from some sports
magazine with us last January, He stayed
in his bunk or by the stoveinthe galley all

made a beeline out of here as fast as he

“The new generation” began in the 1960 It was a
time of change, of liberality, and idealism. A new society
was developing, and the whole world was to be bettered
by it, People learned to question old standards, mores
and norms.

“The old generation” had cither been through the
great depression of the 1920's or had come intothe U.S.
‘ts poor immigrant refugees from World War Il, and in
reaction to their impoverished situations, strived to
attain financial security. “The new generation”
‘denounced this goal in search of a more humanistictype
of success,

who were starving.

“The war in Vietnam, perhaps, served as a major
‘unifying factor. All over the U.S., prodominartly on
college campuses, people were actively opposing
something that the old generation would probably have
‘ever even questioned. You took the time to wonder
‘why imaginary and arbitrary borders should have the
power to divide peoples. Why people of different races
‘ox creeds or political affiliations should have reason to
‘Gil each other.

‘The most important part of the 1960's was the
concept of Jove and the heautfull people. You learned 10
smile for the helt of it, and to trust a stranger. You
decided to give up the rat race business world and
Sought more abstract and philosophical prosperities.
You saw yourself as essentially good, and searched out
the good in others, You wanted to love, and love freely.

The 1970's are far distant from the 1960's. Best of
friends keep tabs onthe nickels and dimes they oweeach
‘other, and it is difficult to grub a cigarette, Faded and
worn denim workclathes cost as much as formalclothes
ccut of the finest material. Instead of the natural, we of
the 1970s have the “natural look”. And we wear
platform shoes to add 10 our comfort.

We don't have brotherhood anymore either. All we
have are niggers, P.R.’s (a new development to replace
“spic”), kikes, and wops. And we file those school-of-
business applications and cut the humanities programs.
Don't give away a paper, why should someone get
something for nothing? Sell it. We embezzle our own
student funds. At a party we often separate from the
others to smoke a private joint. Or better yet, smoke it
alone before we get there.

Love was to the 60's what competition is to the 70's.
We've brought the rat race of the business world into
‘our personal relationships. With our apathy, cynicism,
and self-centeredness we have forgotten how to reach
out to each other. Perhaps the idealists of the 1960's
loved indiscriminately, we do not love at all

‘The 60's generation was prepared tosacrifice allt had
in the fight for world freedom. Now we ai
preoccupied with personal freedoms that we sacrifice
nothing. We have learned to demand what is rightfully
‘ours. Will we ever remember what it means to give?

A Woman of
Independence

In the male-dominated society of
ancient Greece not many women
‘managed to attain prominence ot
fame. One who did was Aspasia, a
native of the Ionian city of Miletus.

‘Aspasia came to Athens some
time after 450 B.C. as a young
woman perhaps 20 years old or even
younger, She opened in Athens a
school of rhetoric and philosophy
for the daughters of the leading
Athenian families. It is clear that she
encouraged the intellectual and
social emergence of Greek women.
By her beauty and intelligence she
tracted the great Pericles, who, hav-
ing earlier divorced his wife, made
her his mistress. Aspasia remained
by the great stateman’s side until his
death and bore him a son, also nam-
ed Pericles.

Like Anaxagoras and Phidias,
Aspasia was attacked by Pericles’
political opponents. She was ried in
‘an Athenian criminal court for im-
piety, defended by Pericles himself,
and acquitted. In one of his comedies
Aristophanes called her the madam
of a brothel and blamed on her the
outbreak of the Peloponnesian War.
On the other hand Plato, in one of
his dialogues, attributes to her
Pericles’ famous Funeral Oration,
which is recorded by Thucydides. In
our own days Will Durant, in The

Lfe of Greece, has called her the
“uncrowned queen of Athens.”

Aspasia is the subject of a recent
novel by Taylor Caldwell, A
novelist, of course, is not bound by
the facts of history, and Miss
Caldwell puts much into this novel
that is not found in our history
books. Thus Aspasia, before coming
to Athens, spendsseveral years inthe
East as the teen-age mistress of a
Persian satrap, she and Pericles are
familiar with Jewish scripture and
await the coming of a messiah,
Anaxagoras is never heard from
in after fleeing Athens, and
Phidias dies in an Athenian prison,
while other characters are entirely
fictitious.

‘Aspasia at times sounds like a con-
temporary advocate of women's
rights, and Pericles, most un-
believably, is a severe critic of Athe-
nian democracy. There are many
anachronisms and many mis-
representations of Athenian political
and legal institutions which appear
to be inadvertent and add nothingto
the novel.

Nevertheless, Miss Culdwell's
book, Glory and the Lightning,
brings historical characters to life
and makes excellent leisure-time
reading

media madness:

You, You’re the One

by Lon Levin

This piece was written to avenge the public lynching
of The Sound of Music, a movie which deserves more
respect than TV gave it. In front of millions, it was cut
up and displayed in between the golden arches of
MacDonalds. { didn't know whether to eat or sing
Now, I could understand advertising which was related
to the film. Perhaps air freshener or guitar strings or
Planned Parenthood or even war bonds.

However, the time of dissected movies will soon be
over, When Home Box begins to appear in every living
room, showing full length movies without commercial
interuption, the competition will drive commercial TV
to cither become innovative agai

‘And now, in memoriam, here is my piece sung to the
tune of “I Am Sixteen, Going on Seventeen” as sung by
the Big Mac Family Singers:

You are sixteen, going on seventeen
Innocent and naive

Because you're so sweet

We'll sell you our meat

‘And maybe an apple pie

You need someone
Established and wiser
Telling you what 10 do,
Forget your health
‘And add to our wealth
And try

Our crispy

French fries.

Totally unprepared are you
To face our ad campaign

Now with your mind we can make you
Think our shakes are like champagne.

You need someone
Established and wiser

Telling you what 10 do,

You are sixteen, going on seventeen
We

Are happy

To serve you.

‘Hey baby, wanna dance?”

My eyes were still adjusting to the
room. So this is the Albany disco scene,
the infamous Varsity Inn. Smoky
darkness is made electric by blinding
flashes of colored light throbbing to the
frenzy of the Stones lead guitar. “Heart-
breaker, heartbreaker” resounds through
the smoke and heat and I stare infascina-
tion at the mass of swaying, sweating
bodies writhing beneath the flashing
lights and imagine, for one minute, that to
‘one unacquainted with the current modes
of civilized recreation this would seem to
be a room full of people in unbearable,
agonized torment.

1 feel an arm coil around me. “Hey
baby, I said do ya wanna dance?" Retur-
ning to reality my eyes shift and focus on
the body next to me who's fingers are now

through an opening in his head.

I couldn't decide if the

adow under

his nose was due to the dimness or a

sprot

yg mustache, I caught a good look

when the lights suddenly flashed. It was

definitely due to the dimness, He looked
about sixteen,

“You have a real subtle-type approach,
do you know?" | figure that should throw
him. I'm wrong. The fingers are back and
roaming. He pulls me closer, the
medallion flashes in my face. He grins and
I smell Marlboros on his breath andin his
clothes. God, he's really close.

“Hey, ya look like a really cool chick. :
can really get into this song. Cmon!”

Tdon't have a chanceto object. He pulls
me through the mass of bodies, weaving
in and out until we're standing in the
midst of them. The tape has changed, I
recognize the familiar opening line which
is greeted by cheers of approval by the
crowd who immediately resumes ther
bumps and grinds, “That's the way .
like it” mouths the kid as he ae
skillfully against my upper thigh.

Strobe lights flash white, green, red,
orange as the writhing mass groans and
grunts in soulful bliss, The rhythm is in-
toxicating. | look down and realize my
legs are matching the kid’s moves without
any trace of inhibition, So what if he’s a
minor, this feels terrific! Saxes pulsate,
trumpets unwind, voices ooze, “That's the
way uh huh uh huh.” Qoooh yeah, what
ecstasy! We are all one throbbing mass of
nerves touched off by heat and sweat and
light and an amazingly barbaric rhythm
that pierces all layers of acquired
sophistication to set you free.

Pandemonium breaks loose as the sax-
es fade out and the voices last “uh huh uh
huh” grows faint. I wipe my forehead with
my sleeve and toss back the hair that is

sticking to my face, | am exhilarated as
one who has been purged from all anx-
ieties. ‘ihe adrenalin has been released
and is overflowing in my veins. | stand,
impatiently antici ing another brassy
tape. My rapture is interrupted by the
strong smell of tobacco— Marlboro's.
The kid offers me one, | shake my head.
He leans back on his silver laced wedgies
as if examining me, takes a deep drag for
effect, and exhales it in quivering rings
that float weightlessly upward. I have to
smile—this kid is really something.

“You're not bad baby. Ya know howto
move”. He inhales again.

“You're not bad yourself, fora kid". He
ignores the latter half of my compliment,
which I expected, then leans forward and
puts both arms tightly around me, which |
did not expect.

“I's a slow one”, he whispers. | am
suddenly aware of a low, deep moaning.
It's Barry White now, sighing amidst bass
and violins “I'm gonna love you, love you,
love you". The kid gets comfortable, folds
himself around me. What the hell.
White's sensual tenor exudes passion that
is overpowering even to the coolest chick,
so | sigh in sweet surrender and put my
arms lightly around his neck.

‘While flipping lazily through an ASP on
February 24 my eyes gazed across an article
entitled “Intro to Bureaucracy”, by Cary Scott
Goldinger. After reading the entire account of
the ill-fated Spanish 102-Beclass, of which 1am
‘a member, 1 was compelled to respond in
defense of the woman who, according to Mr.
Goldinger, is “not really a teacher” andincon-
fused aggravation towards the ASP.

Mrs, B as she has asked me to refer to her
‘as , a graduate student at SUNYA, is currently
sacrificing three hours per week for class time
‘and countless hours of her own time for the
102-B class, Although she has no college
teaching experience, she has taughteighth
graders. She considers this class as the chance
of her lifetime, Contrary to Mr, Goldinger’s
article, she has an office (Tuesdays and
Thursdays, HU 281, 2:30-4:30) and the in-
terference between her class beginning at
(rather than 9:10 as scheduled) and my 8:10
class has not shattered my constitution.
Moreover, Mrs. Blives 25 miles away fromthe
campus, yet she seems to makeit here on time
with amazing consistency. This may be sur-
prising to some, since she is not being paid a
cent for her efforts. Hers is an open and shut
case of innocence. The fault of her late
teachingassignment, her immediate lack of of-
fice space, and her cancelation of Friday
classes lies elsewhere in the maze of
bureaucratic bullshit (second floor
Humanities, you can't miss it.)

‘As for our Albany Student Newspaper, 1am
shocked to find suchas article, an article based
solely on heresay and secondhand inter
pretations, readily published and printed. Mr.
Goldinger statedincorrectly that astudent was
assured of a teacher “definitely” by that said
Friday (January 23) and that the class's
problems would be “straightened out”
“definitely” by that following Monday. { am
the student Mr. Goldinger speaks so freely of,
and my story, when juxtaposed to the story in
“Intro To Bureaucracy”, runs a different rou-
te.
On the third day of classes (January 21) 1
was assured a teacher by the following
Wednesday. On that Wednesday I wastold by
the Chairperson of the Humanities Depart-
ment that the class was to either by taught bya
then unnamed graduate student or cancelled.
Due to bad weather, the chairperson failed to
make a decision, and Friday's session was also
suspended. The following Monday, Mrs. B's
car door was frozen shut, and, although class
‘was missed again, assignments were given and
the course had finally commenced.

object to yellow journalism. But mostly, !am
infuriated when the latter induces the former,

ott Frisk
The author respon

The intent of my article was not to question
the dedication or the teaching ability of the-
graduate student. Rather, 1 sought to point
out the feeling of frustration students en-
counter when dealing with bureaucratic

problems.

PhD Cont'd

To the Editor:

Prof, H. Peter Krosby’s letter (ASP,
Feb.20) chastizes the twenty-one members of
the English Department who protested the.
plan the administration is conidering to
revive our PhD program, He calls our letter
(ASP, Jan 20) a “pathetic communication”
‘and suggests that although “one could readily
sympathize with us,” we are mismotivated and
we misunderstand SUNYA's mission.

We do not want sympathy but rather un-
derstanding of, what we ectually wrote,
Professor Krosby has misread our letter and
twisted its meaning.

| Women’. The People’s
‘Studies
allow its majors to use other departments’

course offerings to help fulfull degree re-
Quirements. Majors would in addition to tak-

* ing with courses in their desired ethnic/sextal

program would hurt Albany's strength as a
graduate center, What we were protesting was
“the way in which the SUNYA administration
‘has thus far addressed the problem,” which we
declared threatened the English Department,
‘the Humanities Division; and the quality of
‘under graduate education at SUNYA. Our ob-
jection, it must be made clear, was and still is
tothe procedure, not tothe goals. We said we
wanted to work with the administration “to
create an innovative graduate - degree
program that would both maintain SUNYA's
university status and also serve better the
needs of contemporary education.” Never did
we limit our hope merely to ecpanding our
Doctor of Arts program, but we urged ex-
ploration of “a more flexible PhD program.”

Professor Krosby reminds us that our mis-
sion as a university center was outlined in the
“master plan” of some fifteen years ago. By s0
doing he reaffirms, unwittingly, one of our
fundamental arguments: that times have

the old master plan may now be
ic; that the time has passed when
institutions such as ours can economically or
mofally indulge their dreams of prestige by
building traditional PhD programs “modeled
jarvard-Berkeley pattern.” That
jon from the recent report of the
nal Board on Graduate Education,
which we also quoted as saying, “as fewas one
in ten new doctorated may secure faculty
employment in the next decade.” In other
words, we said we did not want to aggravate
the problem of an expanding number of
traditionally trained PhD’s and a shrinking
job market.

Professor Krosby seems to question the
motives of the “more than half” of thetwenty-
one signers of our letter who are non-tenured
and of “the rest [who] remain dedicated to the
level of quality which characterized the
teachers college from which SUNY sprang”

if that level were low. The suggested allu-

sion to the myth of Athena, SUNY A's
traditional goddess, as she sprang full bodied
from Zeus’ forehead, is interesting, because
unlike the mythical Athena SUNYA did not
spring full bodied from the teachers college
but evolved organically from the tradition of
excellence, in scholarship as well as teaching,
of the, old college, It must be made clear to
both professor Krosby and the the SUNYA
community that it was not easy for the non-
tenured faculty (a bare majority of eleven) to
sign our letter. Their signing could be regard-
ed, ungenerously, as self-serving, or in another
way, it could risk disapproval. They, and the
enured ten, signed because of their commit-
ment to our English Department tradition and
its potential for both graduate and un-

dergraduate education in the future,

unity in diversity
in the university

To the Edit

In these times of pecuniary stringency and
fiscal peril, | feel it is imperative, in light of
SUNYA's drastic academic cutbacks, for
creative innovations to revamp our
curriculum offerings. | thereby propose a
merger of the Afro-American Studies, Judiac
Studies, Puerto Rican Studies, and Women's
Studies Departments into one all-inclusive
People’s Studies Department, which would
encompass a survey of all the sub-groups of
the human species, The union of these
departments would, I believe, do much ¢o br-
ing together the diverse ethnic/sexual
groupings on campus, as well as to reduce
clerical overload with scant lossin educational
potential.

‘The Department's introductionary course
offering would be a general overview of

concentration would also be required to take
three other courses dealing with different
human sub-groups. For instance, a student
electing to a specialize in the Puerto Rican
concentration in the People’s Studies Depat-
ment would take the Department's Introduc-
tory course, atleast eight courses dealing with
other ethnic groups within the department.
This new proviso I fee! would aid students
by encouraging themto develop an understan-
ding broader than one people, culture, or sex-
ual grouping A unified People’s Studies
Department would also be able to periodically
offer other courses dealing with human sub-
groups that do not have sub-departmental
status. Such courses as The Scandanavian Ex-
perience, The Embattled Male, and The
Catholic Community could be conceivably
offered under the aegis of the Department. In
addition, each of thefour major sub-groups of
the People’s Studies Department would
provide an introductory course to its concen-
tration, i.e. The Black Experience, The Puerto
Rican Experience, The Feminine Experience,
The Jewish Experience, for the benefit of
those in the Department and other interested
students, There would be fiscal savings incen-
tralized administration and these savings
could ve used to revitalize sagging schools here
and/or to augment successful departments.
With the continuing possibility of steeper
budget slashes ahead, I believe my idea would
be the best way to maintain all four
departments at Albany State, while allowing
cach to display its own separate identity within
the People’s Studies Department. Although
there may be some opposition to my proposal
due to the loss of departmental autonomy, 1
feel in this critical period, it is better for all
concerned now tp put aside dicisions, and
work together for mutual benefit. Let usstrive
to achieve “Unity in Diversity.

To the Editor:
Right now, before Student Affairs thereis a
motion of change the name of our university
from State University of New York at Albany
(SUNYA) to University of Albany.

This change in the name sounds as if we are
being cut of from the State, As much as I dis-
like the bureaucracy of the state, | am proudto
be part of the university system, I do not care
how convenient the new name will be. Ido not
want to be considered part of a small “hick”
private college, when 1 am part of the im
pressive University system,

1 am not quite sure what is being planned
with all of the proposed changes. However,
hope that the student body stands together for
our undergraduate programs, our professors,
and our name!

cutting the center
‘To the Editar:

‘We at the Allen Center would like to join
our concerned colleagues in voicing our out-
rage over procedural and decision-making
matters in these “extraordinary times”. We
were among the first to feel the impact of
retrenchment. Now, while others among our
colleagues await the decision of yet another
faculty cut, we wish to articulate some of the
dangers inherent .in the present decision-
making context,

The demise of the Allen Center program
‘was the first and most obvious move against
undergraduate education at this university. As
the campus.unit whose charge it was to deal
specifically with undergraduate education,
our program was developed to bring students
into the university earlier than the completion
of highschool (which resulted in substantial
savings for the fiscally troubled state), and
offer them an integrated four-year inter-
disciplinary social science major specifically
designed toeducatethem in public policy deci-
sion making and institutional analysis, The
termination of the Allen Center program was.
a step backward and a blow to imaginative
and creative ways of meeting the challenges of
contemporary education. Most importantly,
the demise of the Allen Center program
sounded the death knell for personalized
education and teaching as a legitimate focus
for faculty members of this university.

Presumbly the decision to close the Allen
Center was a diffult one. Allegedly, the
“economic crisis” was forcingthe university to
make “tough” but “necessary” choices.
Wewould imagine that such “extraordinary
times” would have demanded careful and con-
sidered evaluations. Surely the decision to
break contracts, to disrupt the education of
several hundred students, to ignore tenure,
and to send so manyindi viduals into a virtua
ly closed job market would demand a fair and
thorough decision-making process. Of equal
imporance, it also demands a humane and
realistic vision for the future of our university
and our academic community. Most certainly
those most involved in the process of educa-
tion, the faculty and students, should play the
central role in such planning. But such was not
4nd still is not the case. Let us recall for you the
procedure whereby the decision to retrench
the Allen Center was made. With the implicit
‘mandate that some programs must go, hurried
and harried priorities committees were es-
tablished to “evaluate” existing programs,
Despite the fact that last year's Select Com-
mittee was originally formed in response to
concerns arising from external review of
2graduate programs (see p. 3 of the Select
Committee Report), despite the fact that the
committee recognized that it was premature”
to evaluate a program searcely three years old,
and despite a vigorous defense from the Allen
Center correcting statistics and pointing to
the misuse of information, the decision to
rFetrench the Allen Center was made. And not
without irony we were not even to go because
of the “economic” crisis but merely to allow
administrative experimentation in the
redeployment of faculty lines. For how else
could almost the exact number of faculty lines
appear as “new” lines only two months later
on the same campus?

We cannot remain silent as we watch the
same dubious process at work this year as
program, tenure, renewal and retrenchment
decisions are made. ‘The atmosphere for
decision-making grows worse asthe university
gropes for clarity and direction in the fuct of
more severe circumstances. We watch with
disbelief and pain as colleagues turnintocom-
petitors, and departments and programs
jealously guard their own territory. This
wholesale destruction of an acamdemic com-
munity for questionable, if not, unattainable,
goals is antiethical to the very notion of a un-
viersity. We add our voicetothe mounting.call
for a stop to this just another corporate entity
Education demands a diversity of approaches;
research and teaching, traditional and new.
We reject a rigid approach to educational
priorities. For all we know, whatis designed to
meet today’s priorities may result in
tomorrow's retrenchments, There are more
reasonable and effective ways of adjusting to
‘economic crises and fulfilling our obligations
to our colleagues and our students,

CBS news correspondent Daniel Schorr has

people cannot plug up their own leaks they
should not vent their anger on Schorr. Having
the information in his hands from his
disclosed source, the CBS correspondent per-
formed what he felt was his journalistic duty
to avail the people the greatest amount of in
formanion possibleso the publicmay makethe

day.

But wasn't the question just raised that
Schorr might have taken freedom ta.its ab-
solute limits and ultimately abused thar
freedom? This is not really the case inthis in-
stance if you consider the fact that most of the
report's major points had previously been
published, so that at worst any security
damage had already been done. It would have
been different if he had released, for example,
cither secret troop movements or the
movements of our nuclear submarines. ‘That
undoubtedly would have been treasonous, a
term hardly applicable to releusing a report
whose important facts had been hashed out on
the public stage for over a year.

sector in New York—with each other and with the national Government and capital
markets, We have seen how a.crisis in one city, in one authority, can endanger all the
others and undermine the credit of the state itself. We have learned that the soundness
of the state's own finances is the cornerstone of the entire structure.

Bear in mind that the problems we have struggled with over the past year have never
been faced by any other state. With no precedents to guide us, we have broken new
ground.

We still have difficult problems before us. We shall face them and we shall overcome
them.

This much is certain: with this budget we can put our house in order. I shall not be
content until we have finished the job. (excerpt from Governor Carey's message tothe
legislature on the 1976-77 budget)

The State University system faces a budget slash of about $1 million dollars. It will
be difficult to convince the thousands of students attendingthese institutions that their
house is in order, as programs are cut and phased out, The possibility of a $100tuition
increase and a $100 rent increase will only serve to aggravate the situation.

The staggering repercussions of Carey's budget were brought clearly into view here
at SUNYA when the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on’ Priorities
were released, Their job was to save money by cutting programs and positions—and
cut they did, Whether one agrees or disagrees with the decisions they made, some cuts
were inevitable. No matter where those cuts were made, people were sure to be
dissatisfied.

Some of the decisions the Task Force made do seem misdirected. But the real
problem is not the Task Force. It merely had the unfortunate assignment of deciding
where money should be saved. Carey's 51 million dollarstice out of the State University
system budget is the real problem. The cut represents a nine percent decrease from the

1975-76 budget.

Concerned SUNY /CUNY students will lobby, rally, and march to the steps of the
capitol this week in protest of the cut, They will be demanding that the legislature
restore State University monies when they act on the 1976-77 supplemental state
budget. Their efforts are well-placed and should be supported by all students, It is not
clear what effect the demonstration will have. Sources inthe legislature report that it is
doubtful the supplemental budget will return to the State University the money that
has been taken away. Nevertheless, the voice of higher education must be heard, The
State University system was one of the hardest hit of the major state departments.

‘This budget marks the end of more than a decade of unchecked growth in state.
support for institutions of higher education, Instead, it emphasizes increased support
Sor individual students, (from Carey's message to the legislature)

The demonstrators marching Tuesday are conviaced they are not those students,

‘There is a belief about in the world of
academic politics that a professor who puts
together a series of pompous nor-sequitors in
studied intemperateness haf served the cause
of scholarship. In truth, such missives—of
which H, Peter Krosby's is the most recent —
are little more than self-serving
rationalizations. Krosby’s arguments are

infighting over the past ten years should
know].

“The crux of his argument is that there is no
salvation [for SUNY A} outside the Ph.d.
History and English]. For, he insist
primary role of a SUNY university center is
graduate, doctoral-level, education. And he
infers that undergraduate teaching is only for
those who, unlike himself, are less than
nationally reputable scholars. He then
proceeds to “demolish” those twenty-one
“inferior” English Department faculty
members who oppose the methods proposed
by this university's administration to revive
the Ph.D. He questions their ability or
willingness to revive our fallen Holiest of
Holies—the History and English Ph.D.s. And
thén he proposes his solution. Krosby would
have us divide the faculty into two castes:
Ubermenschen, composed of eminent

scholars such as H. Peter Krosby and Emmet
Fields, who would devote their lives to the
direction of future Platos, Darwins, and
Einsteins, and Untermenschen, among whom
would be the tenured few among the twenty-
‘one, who would teach the lesser breed—the
undergraduates—exclusively. Moreover,
since the twenty-one and their equals are ap-
parently a majority of the faculty, and since
they fail to accept the truth as delivered by
Peter Krosby, this decision could not be reach-
ed collegially. This decision would have to be
made and enforced by such illustriousscholars
Fields, Sirotkin, Welch, Salkever, Kendall,
and Krosby. [I remember when this was
labeled the Fuhrer Prinzip. . . butthat wasso

is a second part implied in Krosby's
proposal. He would have us go out into the
academic hustings and bring in some “stars”
This would be accomplished by replacing non-
stellar faculty (three for each new member of.
‘our constellation), who would be fired from
their jobs. Ignoring the heartlessness of this
proposal, the question arises: Wh.’ should a
jar come here? The outstandi rary? The
outstanding graduate students? The erudite
and humane administration? The intellectual
‘and committed collegiality which pervades
SUNYA? None of the above: All that would
attract these stars would be money. Any

The Not-Work Ethic

by Wiliam Heller

Most of you have probably heard of the term Protestant work ethic—that

jhe inherent

‘goodness of doing work. Our country was built on the philosophy of the work ethic(along with &
lot of dead Indians), but inthis bicentennial year, belief inthe work ethic seems to be declining, It
is being replaced by what I call “the not-work ethic.”

‘The not-work ethic follows the philosophy that not doingsomething is doi

something. This

apparent paradox is not as simple as it seems. One cannot merely be not doing anything and
really,be doing something. A person must consciously be not doing something, For example,
most students constantly complain that they have so much work to do. These people are just

fooling themselves,

Being an honest man, I realize that most of my schoolwork will remain undone. However, t
still have as much to do asthe next student. As a firm believer in the philosophy of the not-work
‘ethic I will complain, “I have so much work to not do.” In this way I am making a conscious
effort to not do my work, so in reality I am doing something. Although the unknowing observer

will think that 1

‘A classic example of the not-work ethicin actionis the case of a mancalled Scoocherini. He's a

the wrong w

Some people give him five dollars a week; any

He's so tough, in fact, that he makes people pay him so he won't beat them up.

it seems like a good way to earn a living.

When Scoocherini is asked what he does for a living he can reply, “I don't beat people up.”
Again, the unknowing observer who sees Scoocherini standing around on a street corner will
think that he's doing nothing, but we know that he’s doing something, He's not beating people

up.

‘A currently popular political ideal that stems from the not-work ethic philosophy is that

government is too big. Many people seem to feel that the government should not do so many

things; that it is too bothersome. T!

snot to say that the government should merely not do

anything, for this would not be following the not-work ethic philosophy. Paradoxically, by not
following the philosophy, it is consciously not doing something; therefore it is following the

philosophy. Politi

ins who profess the not-work ethic, such as Ronald Reagan, George

Wallace, California Governor Jerry Brown, and New York's Hugh Carey, all contend that the
government should not do as much as it has been doing in the past

Now that you're somewhat fami

with the not-work ethic you might as!
What can Ido with it Well, youcan’t doanything withit, but youcancertai

‘What good is it?
ly not do alot with

Let me suggest a few things you can not do, When it comes time to register for classes sign up
for as many as possible. Using the not work ethic philosophy we can justify this in the following
manner: If you sign up for lots of classes then you have more classes to not go to. With more
‘lasses {0 ot go to you'll have more free time. In addition, you'll have more work not to do,
‘adding to your free time, We can alsolook at theeconomic advantages. With anincreased course
oad you'll have more books to not buy, s0 you'll save money.

In America today, practice of the not work ethic is on the increase, There are countless
instances of people who essentially are employed at not working —Government officials, upper,
middle and lower level bureaucrats, college administrators, and professional students. After all,

chairman. And the committee labored long
‘and hard, from October until April. And it
failedtofind an acceptablechairman. One was
too old [50}, another took a drink now and
again, a third taught an esoteric field,
‘American history. Finally a self-proclaimed
second rater came—like Lochinvar—out of
the West and he was hired. Eventhe dean, who
wanted someone no better than himself,
accepted the appointment. And the new chair-
man set to work immediately. He searched far
and wide for stars to brightenthe History con-
stellation. And he offered money—buckets
and buckets of money. And he finally found
two “stellar performers”—with records that
impressed him and the dean—and a majority
of the department—beyond words. One of the
desired professors had written two books.
Neither of them had won any acclaim. But that
was irrelevant. He had also been achairmanin
another university [who was given atravelling
bag on his leaving the chairmanship with the
hope that he would go far away]. The second,
an expert in a segment of European history,
was widely known for his eccentric egocen-
tricity. There were warnings against the pair—
their research was less than world-shaking,
they had done little for several years, they had
created serious problems among other faculty
and students. But the chairman persisted, And
they were appointed at exceedingly high
salaries.

‘Their stay at SUNYA was short, eventful,
and expensive to the taxpayers. Besides their
salaries, they spent thousands of dollars of
SUNYA funds shipping books to and from
Europe, they ran up astronomical overseas
phone bills [on University phones}, and they
took sabbatical leaves within a year of coming
here, Moreover, they polarized and paralyzed
the department by political shenanigans. And
then, within three years, they left. The first to
the greener ($SSS] pastures of administration.
The second to another university for a short
stay before voluntarily shuffling off this mor-
tal coil.

There were other cases of “stars” coming
here, Few of them shined very long—if at all—
at SUNYA. There is enough empirical
evidence—right here—to prove that the star
system is less than efficacious. | could cite ex-
amples from other universities as well. The
idea of instant university is, to put it mildly,
non-viable. You can’t turn a mediocre school
into a Berkley on the Hudson overnight. Nor
can you doit by buyingtalent. Good academic
talent ‘is not for sale. All you can buy is a
collection of academic con artists. That is all

that is all we will get inthe future, unless we re~

history and or an English Ph.D. at SUNYA
would be a good thing—if we had the
resources and the personnel. A good scholar is
perforce a good teacher, and vice versa[if heis
‘not one, he cannot be the otber) It is possible
that good scholars require good graduate
students to inspire their work—although such
‘schools as Amherst and Williams have at-

acted reasonably good scholars—
‘Commager and Burns, for example—without
‘any Ph.D. programs. But I suggest that this is
not what is back of the current hysteria about
‘the imperiled Ph.D. ‘The truth is
that the commitment to the Ph.D. among the
faculty is—with few exceptions—inversely
proportionate to the scholarly commitment
‘and production of those involved.

In fact, there are three bases for the current
hysteria. First, isthe political struggle between
SUNY and the State Department of Educa-
tion. My natural inclination would betosup-
port SUNY against the overblown
bureaucracy at State Ed. But I should hardly
be prepared to run roughshod over junior
faculty in the effort to over-ride Nyquist and
Company. Nor am I convinced that the
bureaucracy at SUNY Central is that much
less oppressive than the State Ed pencil
pushing brigade.

Secondly, theres the problem of ego. Many
an academic mediocrity needs the bolstering
which a Ph.D. affords. And faculties attract
innumerable minuscule intellects with well-
deserved inferiority complexes.

Finally, there is the question of graduate
assistants, These graduate students come
cheap and do the work of lazy “scholars.”

ints, professors needn't worry
about grading papers, or doingthe nitty-gritty
research, They turn it over to graduate
ints [I plead guilty, O mighty one]. The
assistants teach the sections which make a
professor's FTE's look good. And they do it
cheap. Years ago we called this chattel slavery.
But since 1865 Massa’s been in the cold, cold
ground (we supposed).

Yes, there is a way to win back the Ph.D.s
and save the fair name of SUNYA. We can
give ourselves time. We can hire some good,
young people with reasonable records. We can
make their work here pleasant and rewarding.
We can encourage them to be good scholars.
Some—possibly most—will become scholars.
‘And they won't be money grubbers from the
constellation Gonef. We've had too much of
that already.

Thear it now, Thecry of outrage against this
diatribe. [Pucker up your lips boys, the great
one is bowing toward the Mecca spelled

which we've had enough.

Turn off the gas in the ovens. Junior
professors are human, and they can be anasset
to this university. They ought not to be rungs
on the ladder to a bureaucrat’s greater per-
sonal glory. It was the bureaucrat in Germany
who "did his job” and won his promotion who
was responsible for 20 million deaths.

Ph.D. program a university.

ATale of Yore

by Karl Haeusing
‘Once upon a tine, in a period accurately
labeled the “Dark Ages", there existed a
monastery near the old Italian city of Albany.
‘The monastery of Albany or St. Albany, asit
was affectionately named by its pious
protherhood, was the center of a monastic
system, and although I will deal specifically
with her story, the ordeal through which she
passed was generally representative of what
‘occurred to all monasteries during these dark
days and a matter of historical fact.

During this time a severe famine,
documented as being caused by the “Great
Drought” swept the lands. All culture died at
the hands of economic necessity except for
these few islands of intellectualism. But even
these stauinch pillars of the intellect were
beginringtoshow signs of weakening, signsof
moral decay, as severe rationing was forced
upon them by the worried local government.
History and literature were studied as purely
intellectual categories. Intellectual growth had
far outstripped emotional growth, and both
had become almost totally dissociated from
behavior. Schizophrenia and paranoia,
repressed by a translucent veneer of courtesy,
were the order of the day. Even monks of the
higher ecclesiastical rank began to worry more
about their own economic well-being than
“spreading the faith”. Some were down-right
hypocrites, using learning merely as a hobby
fo relief of boredom or as a cosmetic in social
gatherings apropos smidgens and
sprinklings of witty words to be pettered into
‘an otherwise bland bowl of alphabet soup.
Yet, with all its imperfections, the monastery
was siillthe symbol of the best this country of
barbarians had to offer.

As the famine situation came to a head, the
local government began questioning the
necessity of feeding these intellectual
“parasites”, It was likewise felt by the hungry

Populace that education was a |
could ist definitely do without Not aay
unaware of the climate outsidethe monastery,
the monks worried and prayed with a fervor
they believed God just couldn't help but
notice. On the following day a governmental
decree was issued that food allotment for the
monastery was to be cut in half. The monks
wailed and protested, citing that they were
already on barely a subsistence level. The of-
ials smiled, however, for they had seen that
the monks were prepared to yield yet
further . . . not that it really mattered to the
officials, for short of violence nothing could
have changed their minds, and monks were
noted for their piety and uninvolvement in
worldly affairs

To be sure, a printed ecclesiastical decree of
the previous day showed that a ritual of
sacrifice had been approved, whereby the
Weaker members of the order were to be
systematically eliminated so that the institu-
tion as a whole (i.e. the stronger monks) could
survive. But before consumating the sacrifice,
‘so as not to appear totally heartless, the con-
victed monk was given a bull-horn, whereby, if
he yelled loud cnough to convince his fellow
monks he yet some good years left, he
could be granted a stay of execution, Unfor-
tunately for the convicted, however, the bull-
horn was extremely small, limited in range
and totally ineffectual. The sight of one of
these caped monks yelling furiously into a
miniature bull-horn, squealing for his life,
would have been ridiculous had it not been so
tragic, It would have made the devil laugh.
Thus, with sadness in their hearts and eyes
turned toward God in heaven, the
“brotherhood” left their brother at the altar—
their thumbs pointing down,

It was a sad thing to see these monks, these
men of noble ideals lose ‘h, refuse to stick
by each other my and
turn against themsell ves and theirown kind.
Perhaps it was all for the best if anything at all
was learned from this, If not . it shall re-

Why has Nixon been accorded the honors of a head of state though he is only a private citizen
discredited by scandals? Was the idea to divert attention from the serious crisis under way in
China... To welcome as a heroa man whomeven Americanimperialism was forced to dismiss

—Yves Moreau, L'Humanite, Paris, France (Communist).

Putting dialectic at the service of their meandering diplomacy, the Chinese pretend toforget

Danes Split Vacation Pair

Fall to Hartwick, Upset Hamilton, 91-83;
Cavanaugh Scores 36 in Season Finale

by Mike Piekarski

While most of the university pop-
ualtion was enjoying its recent vact-
tion, the Albany State varsity
basketball team was fighting for its
life. Tangling with powerhouses
Hartwick (ranked number one in
Division I-11) and Hamilton
(winner of the ECAC Division II
tournament last week) at University
Gym, the Great Danes were,
amazingly, able to salvage a split.

Defeated by Hartwick 70-68 on
February 27, the Danes rebounded
to upiet a heavily-favored Hamilton
aquad by a 91—83 marginthefollow-
ing Tuesday. That victory closed out
their seasonal record at 12—I1 and
kept Coach Richard Sauers' streak
of never having a losing season here
intact at 21 consecutive years.
Albany finished third in the SUNY
Conference which was won by
Plattsburgh.

In the Hartwick affair, the hosts
led early but trailed for most of the
game, With the Warriors employing

‘an aggressive 1—3—I zone which,
according to Sauers, was “tough for
‘our small guards,” the Danes were
having their problems,

“They [Hartwick] had three guys
at 65", 616", and 67" as a starting
front line and we had to work hard to
get off a good shot,” explained the
coach.

Surprisingly, the Danes morethan
held their own off the boards—
thanks mainly to a hard-working Vic
Cesare who snagged a game-high
total of 12 rebounds,

The Danes led 24—20 late in the
first half, but were outscored 12—2
in the remaining minutes and trailed
32—26 at intermission, Most of the
damage was done by speedy Dana
Gahres and center Bill “Stretch”
Martin—a reported pro prospect.

‘The Warriors increased their lead
as the second half opened, but the
Danes kept fighting back. With
Albany center Barry Cavanaugh in
foul trouble, Sauers moved Kevin
Keane to the pivot and heresponded

Gymnasts Finish at 12-7:
Sixth in N.Y.S. Tourney

by Chaistine Bellini

“We competed against top-flight
schools and held our own quite
well,” said Dr. Edith Cobane, the
varsity Women’s gymnastics coach,
regarding the team's 12-win-7 loss
season record,

‘The Danettes completed ‘their
schedule in late February, tosing a
pair in a triangular meet, 72,60
points, to Canisus (101.20 points)
and Ithaca (78,50 points) colleges
and splitting their final meet with
72.00 points to Rhode Island's 72,75
and Westfield’s 71.15 point totals.

‘The team never ceased to showim-
provement.

“The Westfield meet marks our
highest total," ‘said Cobane, “with

scoring like that (72.00 points), no

‘one can complain, It was a beautiful

meet with equal teams competing.”

‘The New York State Tournament
‘on March 6th was the zenith of the
season, consisting of competition
between the ten New York State
schools of Canisus, Cortland,
Brooklyn, Wthaca, Brockport,
Albany, Cornell, Hofstra, Queens
and New Paltz, (Listed in order of
final rankings.)

Placing 6th in the final ladder,
Albany scored it’s highest total of
75.10 points to wrap up the season
with a grand finale,

Outstanding performances were
executed by Carla Landsman, first
among Albany's entries'on the beam
(5th), floor (15th), and vaulting
(23rd) events. Julie Aciun captured
11h place out of forty-three (43) for

with a fine performance, “He really
asserted himself out there,” said
Sauers.

With seven minutes left in the
game, Hartwick led 57—46 and held
an cight-point advantage at the 4:43
mark. Winston Royal then found the
range and popped in a few quick
buckets to bring the hosts back to
life,

Albany closed to within two but
could not get the knotter. Their best
chance came with less than a minute
remaining. Trailing 68—66, the
Danes had gained control of the ball
as Royal brought it upcourt. Near
the foul line, he tried to split the
defense, but had the ball deflected
away. Hartwick’s Ralph Pugliese
was then fouled and his two free
throws put the game on ice. Keane’s
bucket at the buzzer was academic.

“It was the right play,” Sauers said
of Royal's last-minute turnover.
“Had he kept his balance, I think he
could havefound Audi underneath.”

Royal, however, was Albany's top
point-getter with 14, while
Cavanaugh garnered 12 and Keane,
10. Gahres and Martin shared top
honors with 19 apiece.

As for the Hamilton contest, the
story, in a nutshell, was Barry
Cavanugh. The freshman pivotman
exploded for 36 points to set a gym

Hitting on anjncredible 16 of 20field

Both teams came out shooting and
the lead see-sawed quite a few times.

Booters Host Home Invitational

by Nathan Salant

Contrary to popular belief, the
varsity soccer season did not end in
December with a 4—3 NCAA Tour-
nament loss to Binghamton, but
continues through the winter
months via a number of indoor tour-
naments, including the Albany In-
vitational, scheduled for Saturday
(6:30 pm—10:30 pm) and Sunday
March 13 and 14 (this weekend), at
the University Gym.

Albany will enter two squads
(team field seven players as opposed
to the I-player units outdoors)
against some of the finest schools in
the country, including: Cornell,
Hartwick, and Oneonta (Each of
whom participated in the NCAA
Division | Tournament); Adelphi

i 1 NCAA Tourney); St. Fran-
cis; Keene State, and Kings Point
(ECAC Tournament); Binghamton
(Div. If Tournament); RPI, and a
team to be named today

Last year, Hartwick and Oneonta
were the finalists, with Hartwick
overcoming a 2—0 Oneonta lead to
win, 3-2

“We expect to do very well in this
one,” said Albany varsity soccer
coach Bill Schieffelin. “The competi-
tion will be the finest we've ever had
at this school in the way of indoor or
outdoor opponents, but based on
our strong showings in other indoor
tourneys so far, we have to rate with
the best teams.”

Indeed, Schieffelin's commentary
is easily supported. Albany has par-

ticipated in five indoor tournaments
to date; their worst showing was
semi-final loss to LIU, 1—0 in the
Southampton Tournament.

‘The indoor season began at St.
Lawrence, where the Booters easily
won the tournament, beating Con-
ference foe Plattsburgh in the
process, Next came the Hartwick
Tournament, with Albany pitted
against such Division { foes as
Philadelphia Tentile, Penn State,
Sourthern Conn,, East Stroudsburg,
and Cornell,

Albany lost that one in the finals,
battling Hartwick for 17 and one

Legislature Slashes SUNYA More

by Daniel Gaines

SUNYA President Emmett B.
pted his Task Force's
their entirety,”
and has forwarded his report to
SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and
the Board of Trustees. Both are ex-
pected to approve the report

The termination of seven doctoral
Programs, five master’s programs,
cight bachelor’s programs and
various administrative functions will
cut $1,343,200 from the SUNYA
budget.

This figure matches the figure in
Governor Hugh L. Carey's Ex-
ecutive Budget.

Last night the legislature released
its biget, cutting an additional
$44,200 from SUNYA. $33,700 of
that was in foreign student advise-
ment and $10,500 in public relations
activity, TAP will not be cut.

Dean of Student Affairs Neil
Brown, when contacted at homesaid
he suspected that the foreign advise-
ment cut includes the director of the
International Student Office. The
director's secretary, and the director
of Sayles Hall

He pointed out that the resident
director of Sayles Hall is not an ad-
visor as the Legislature probably
thought—it is on the same budget
line with the ISO by fluke.

David Van Dyck, Director of
Community Relations said the cut in
public relations activity could affect
catalogues or brochures created in
his office, or possibly equipment.

The legislature's budget cut public
relations throughout the state
bureaucracy. Foreign student ad-
visement was cut on each campus
where a program existed for the
and many SUNY schools had ut
funds cut because it was felt they
were not efficient enough.

Fields’ cuts, based on Carey's
original budget, are the same as the
Task Force's: doctoral programs in
Classic, French, Romance
Languages, and fourinthe School of
Education (the original six were con-

idated into two); master’s
ms in Art History, Com-

ative Literature, Malian, Latin=
American Studies, and Speech
Pathology and Audiology; and

bachelor’s programs in Art History,
Astronomy, Comparitive
Literature, Environmental Studies,
Studies, Italian,

ag and Speech Pathology and
Audiology
Some courses in these un-

dergraduate areas will be continued,
however, for non-majors

Fields’ reallocation of resources
away from the Humanities last
semester has been delayed by the
new budgetary situation. Those
reallocations were to have added
faculty to the schools of Education,
Criminal Justice, Business, Public
Affairs, Social Welfare and the divi-
sion of Social and Behavioral
Sciences.

While Public Affairs will gain two
positions next year, Education will
lose five, and the other beneficiaries
will have a net change of zero.
Humanities, which was to lose nine
positions under the reallocation

plan, will now lose 12 in the first
year.

Fields followed recommendations

to elimiate the Office of Um
dergraduate Studies and the
Vocational and Veteran's Counsel
ing Center. Their responsibilities will
be redistributed.
Student Affairs was cut by 12.5
Positions, over a third of which will
come out of the Student Health Ser-
Vice

Ficlds said in the report that the
university offers “more programs
than can be sustained with available
fesources. We must now give up
some for the sake of others.”

Fields pointed out that the current
number of majors in the terminated
programs is about 750, or slightly
less than five percent of the campus
total

To insure that any retrenched
faculty would have at least a year's
notice, the cuts will not be fully put

Cutbacks Near Final Stages; Tension Mounts

Board Of Trustees Sues Nyquist

by Paul Rosenthal

The SUNY Board of Trustees is
awaiting a response from the State
Education Department in a lawsuit
challenging the Department's right
to discontinue SUNY A’s history and
English doctoral programs.

An SED spokesman said a
response (o the suit would be
forthcoming by the end of the
month, He said Education Com-
missioner Ewald B. Nyquist “has the
right to control what courses are
registered” at SUNY institutions.

“The legal action is the first one
ever to question the extent of SED
jurisdiction over the SUNY system.

SUNY officials say the action is
based in part on 196) legislation
which removed the State University
from direct control of the Board of
Regents.

SUNYA Vice President for
Academic Affairs Phillip Sirotkin
said that, although the SUNYA ad-
ministration is not directly involved
in the suit, it is “supportive” of the

Board of Trustees’ action. He said
Nyquist “has miade the decision un-
ilaterally,” without consideration of
SUNY's own jurisdiction,

Boyer said SUNY fully accepts its
responsibilities tothe Regents andto
the State Legslature, but explained
that *This process had never been
challenged.” He believes that Ny-
quist’s decision 10 close down the
twodoctoral programs had confused
the relationships in New York's
higher education governa
D officials say Nyquist was ac-
ting completely within the law in his
decision. “This is one of our
regulatory functions over all educa-
tion in the state,” said a spokesper-
son, He said the Department does
not oversee the day-to-day running
of SUNY, but rather the “broad
policy decisions.”

The Board of Trustees authorized
the legal action partly in response to
a report received from SUNYA
President Emmett Fields, The report
said that the history and English
