Vol. LVI No. 12
Council reviews ASP
election procedures
A considerable amount of
discussion at last Thursday night’s
Central Council meeting
concerned the publicizing of
election results in the ASP. The
topic was brought under
consideration by a proposed bill
introduced by Chuck Ribak
calling for the listing of winners
and losers in elections but with
only the vote count of the
winners publicized in the ASP.
This bill would repeal Central
Council Bill 6970-26 of Oct. 9th
which requires: - “that Election
Commission publicize via the
Albany Student Press the
complete results (including the
vote count of winners and losers—
except Who’s Who losers of all
election under its jurisdiction.”
Council member Ralph
DiMarino cited that this bill was
positive censorship.
has a very large surplus
(approximately $160,000), Gold
proposed that the $7.75 of the
Student Assessment which
normally goes to AAB be used to
eradicate the deficit in SA’s
budget.
It was felt that students would
never see their money put to use
if it goes into the AAB budget and
it could better aid the financial
problems of SA.
if it goes into the AAB budget and
it could better aid the financial
problems of SA.
A motion was made that for
second semester the Athletic
Advisory Board’s part of Student
Tax ($7.75) be put into the SA
budget.
This motion was tabled by a
unanimous vote pending further
information, People involved with

Though discussion of the ASP’s | future meeting in order to answer
violation of the earlier bill was not
deemed necessary and exactly
legal, the debate centered around
that issue.
Dave Neufeld said that since
the ASP was funded by Student
Association; SA should be the
policy maker. There was
murmered dissent voiced
regarding this statement.
The only censorship, according
to Gary Gold, rests within
Cimmunications Commission.
Election - Commissioner,
Jeanette Beckerman praised the
front page coverage received by
the Faculty Senate elections. She
further reported that when some
of the losers learned their results
they indicated that they were glad
that their vote count was not
listed.
Lenny Kopp, author of the
original bill (6970-26) felt that
when a person enters an election,
he is then in the public domain
and has no right to be shielded
from the public.
The discussion was ended by a
tabling of Ribak’s bill with a vote
of 23-2-0.
The subject of Student
Association’s tight money
situation was also brought up by
Gary Gold. Since SA is already in
debt and Athletic Advisory Board

CONSIDER LIFE FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE.
How can learning be improved
on the AlbanyState campus
by Bill Johnson
How can learning be improved
on the Albany State campus? This
is the question that will be
discussed at a special session for
interaction between students and
faculty next Monday from 3 to 5
.m. in the Campus Center
Assembly Hall.
An effort is being made to have
this first meeting as free, open and
unstructured as possible to
provide for exposure to a wide
variety of opinions and free
thought. This announcement was
made by President Alan Kuusisto
at his weekly conference with
students.
The President also expressed his
satisfaction at the first meeting of
the University Senate with its
thirty-three new student
members. He described it as an
historic and constructive meeting
with an absense of polarization
between students and faculty with
the students playing a full and
significant role in the proceedings.
In response to a student’s
question, concerning budget cuts,
WET LEAVES WITH RAIN ON THEM.
--benjamin
the President stated that the
University’s discretional
expenditure funds were severely
cut. The maintenance and
janitorial staffs were hit the
hardest, but academic
departments also had to have their
funds cut.
Many complaints were aired by
students concerning the poor way
they believe the Pass-Fail grading
system is being handled.
According to the plan, freshmen
will either receive a pass or no
credit grade on their transcripts.

There is much“ anxiety among
students concerning the effect of
the grading system on_ transfer
possibilities and the difference
between no- credit and
withdrawal grades.
The President tried to console
the consternation by proposing
that the Undergraduate Academic
Council will have to take steps to
iron our these difficulties. An
important idea was stated that the

Black Panthers try
to ‘wake the people’
by Dave Peck
The Black Panthers, in a press
conference held Friday, Oct. 31 at
2 o'clock, pointed out the
deplorable conditions in which
the poor of Albany live.
Jerry DArbeau, the Harlem
Representative trom Peekskill,
said that the Black Panthers will
start a free hot breakfast program
for the elementary school ghetto
children of Albany. He explained
that because of cutbacks in
welfare, parents will not be able
to five their children breakfast.
D’Arbeau stated that the
ghettos of Albany are ruled by
fear - fear of the “pigs.” He told
of an incident in Albany where a
woman, three months pregnant,
was beaten and kicked in the
stomach by the police.
The Panthers are trying to
“wake up the people.” Mr.
D’Arbeau said they would like to
see ‘‘People’s control of a
decentralized police department,
better housing for our people, and
a better education for our
children.” They plan to do this by
talking to people and getting their
support. When asked how many
members the Panthers have, Vern
Bowen, Defense Captain of the
Albany Balck Panthers, said three
million with five million in
training.
The Press Conference was held
at 41 Ten Broeck Street. The
paint was peeling off the bricks,
the doors were boarded up, and
the mailboxes were all broken.
The sign above the doors said
“Elite Apts.”
Elite Apts. is located in the
Arbor Hill section of Albany, an
all black ghetto. When the twenty
white students from SUNYA who
support the Panthers showed up
they received many stares. One
supposes that few, if any, whites
are ever seen in this
neighborhood. The Panthers wore
black berets and ither a clenched
fist or a five inch bullet around
their necks.
Down the block is the Ten
Broeck Mansion. A few houses
away was a boarded-up building.
A sign posted on it read, “This
building has been treated for the
control of Vermin and Rodents:
Date 7-23-69 Do not enter until
7-29-69.”

A UNIVERSITY SHOULD EXPAND and improve
SUNYA tries to satisfy the needs of the university community with
another improvement.
@® phone
by Robert Warmer
Last Friday afternoon, Dean
Fred Tickntr of the Graduate
School of Public Affairs lectured
informally at Sayes Hall on the
future of imperialism.
Approximately 25 graduate
students participated in the
hour-and-a-half discussion.
Afterwards, the discussion broke
down into smaller groups.
The Dean opened with a short
history of imperialism. Western
Europe first exploited the Far
East in the pursuit of spices,
which were vital for the
preservation of food. The early
imperialists did not intend to
occupy the territories that they
were robbing. Gradually out of
necessity, imperialism! became a
political and social force that
intervened in Asian and African
affairs.

“Perfect, unflawed, balanced
‘An ASP Satire by Dennis Whitehead
The press conference was a little late in getting
started. Advance notice had been
skimpy: all President Richard Noskin had said was
that he had commissioned one of America’s leading
architects to design a mammoth 100,000-student
National University of the United States to be
located (for one reason or another) at Yorba Linda,
California, and that the chosen architect was an
innovator in university planning. Two students from
the State University of Nelson Rockyfellow at
Albany, fearing the worst (for one reason or
another), were on hand to witness the event.
There was a general murmur as the President,
followed by the ever-popular Vice-President
Spirochete Agnu, marched down the center aisle
from the back of the room, Mr. Agnu took his
accustomed seat just to Mr. Noskin’s right, as the
President strode up to the microphone and began:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure you are all
aware that I have commissioned an exceptional
architect to design the magnificent National
University of the United States, to be located (for
obvious reasons) in Yorba Linda, California. He is
here today to present his model to you and the
nation, and to answer any questions which you may
have about this awe-inspiring undertaking. I give
you Mr. Edward Droolstone.”
The President seated himself at his
Vice-President's left as Edward Droolstone, nattily
attired in a black and white striped suit with a
flairing white collar, emerged from a side door and
faced the newsmen. The students from SUNRA
sank low in the seats.
“My friends,” began the architect, “our President
requested me to create a university which would
stand as a monument for great nation. A bastion of
education and learning, as I would put it. And what
greater means to express the soaring pride our
country feels fro the intellect than through
symmetry! Perfect, unflawed, balanced symmetry!”
Thunderous applause rocked the room.
“My assistants are now passing out photographs
of my already famous State University of Nelson
Rockyfellow at Albany. As you see, it is not a
perfect university.” £
A reporter in the front spoke up, “Why is it not
perfect, Mr. Droolstone? It looks fine to me.” Cries
of agreement were echoed by all but two of the
others present.
“Because, sit, upon close examination you will
. an awe-inspiring venture’
py)
we an umpaired extension off the Academic
Podium. This is the Campus Center. There is also an
unpaired gumnasiu, infirmary, central heating
building, and polluted lake. The roadway around
the school is not a perfect oval, and the spire in the
middle of the podium is off to one side.”
“What do you propose to alleviate this condition,
Mr. Droolstone?”’
“T have effected the symmetrical arrangement so
lacking at the Albany complex via the following:
four infirmaries, four central heating buildings, four
gymnasia, four lakes, and a symmetrical oval road
enclosing the campus.”
One of the SUNRA students rose and spoke out
with a tinge of hope in his voice, “Your design is
still failing, Mr. Droolstone. Perfect symmetry in
unattainable. I defy you to balance the Campus
Center and the chiming phallic symbol on the
podium. You'll have to settle for another
assymmetric campus.”
A sea of angry faces swung around toward the
offender. Vice—President Agnu came to his feet
menacingly and muttered something about “effete
snobs,” but was immediately restrained by a touch
on his arm from his leader.
Droolstone, visibley ruffled by the attack,
indignantly adjusted the arches supporting his collar
and declared:
“On the contrary, my young friend, I have met
with success. The National University will feature
four Academic Podia and living complexes, such as
what is found singly at SUNRA, located at the four
corners of the campus. At their center will be a
Central Academic Podium, replete with living
complexes, which shall be four times as big as the
four surrounding it. I.e., the towers on the central
quandrangle will be 88 stories tall and the academic
buildings will consist of 12 stories above ground and
4 below.
There will be four levels of lecture rooms. There
will be two SUMMETRICAL, I say, ‘Centers of the
Campus Centers’, flanking a majestic 1200-foot high
phal—er, spire, located at the exact geometric center
of the campus, having a fountain at its zenith
shooting a column of water an additional 300 feet
into the air. That, my skeptical friend, is
symmetry!”
Like all good parents, the newsmen cheered and
thought the plan for the symmetric campus was
indeed wonderful. The two students subsequently
transferred to Rensseltechnic Polytute Instilaer in
nearby assymmetric Troy.

Tickner on major powers
Future of Imperialism safe
This, intervention quite often led
to outright colonization, therby
prostrating many underdeveloped
nations at the mercy of the white
man, chiefly, the English, French,
and Dutch. It was not until the
Spanish-American War that the
United States Government turned
its hungry eyes out to the world.
Dean Tickner characterized
American and Russian imperialism
as land expansionist in contrast to
the overseas territories of England
and France.
Tickner sees England’s present
Commonwealth system as a viable
alternative to her “white man’s
burden” policy of the past
century. It is worthwhile for
Britain’s old colonies to remain
with the Commonwealth. But the
Dean is remorse over the reality
that although the poor nations
might be getting richer, the rich
nations are increasing their wealth
at a greater pace than the former.
It is commonly thought that
Caesar favored Cleopatra out of
love. Actually, Rome was in dire
need of food to feed her
population, from Greece to Gaul;
it was Egypt that had a sufficient
supply. Also the imperialist
aggressor imprint its culture on
the colony.
Persian Mithras an ancient cult
was widely accepted by the
Roman army. More lasting was
the influence of Christianity
which emerged from Judea. By
the Edict of Milan in 313,
Christianity became the official
religion of the Roman Empire.
Thus, Tickner demonstrated that
imperialism as a means of cultural
exchange has been a great
determinant of the course of
history.
Modern imperialism does not
benefit either the entire economy
of the aggressor, so says Tickner,
nor the helpless colony, but
imperialism is now a tool of a few
special interest groups in the
economy.
In the United States, as one
graduate student interpretes it,
the military, because of its very
nature and existence must remain
in the business of war. War
industries profit from our
imperialist adventure in Vietnam.
Anaconda Copper affects our
foreign policy towards Chile. Our
government acts in conjunction
with private oil concerns when
dealing in the Mid-East. As long as
a few Americans hold large
foreign interests, our government
will even go to war to protect
them.
Tickner cited political ends as
an excuse for fighting in Vietnam.
A grad student insisted, though,
that half-a-million men are-there
to keep the military- industrial
complex thriving.
Dean Tickner ruefully stated
that he is quite certain that the
major powers will continue to
dominate and exploit the smaller
nations indiscrimininantly, but he
hopes that they will find a more
productive, imaginative, and
intelligent form of imperialism, if
this institution must exist.

trancended by the thought of
making it easy for freshmen

The abolition of required
subjects was also discussed.
Kuusisto favors the retention of
requirements but would be willing
to hear debate on the issue. It was
pointed out that the purpose of
abolishing requirements is not to
increase specialization, but to
prevent students from wasting
time and credits on courses of no
interest and therefore of little
vatue to them.

THE
ASP
GSPORLS Break up The Knicks!
STB Wins
STB DESERVEDLY Won the League I Championship by handily defeating APA, EEP, and KB and in the process did nat give up a point.
by Mark Grand
STB’s long awaited League I
championship was not a fluke.
Indeed, they were the finest
offensive team in the league, the
most well-drilled, in short, the
best. For a while, they had
trouble scoring points and as a
result tied two games which they
should have won.
They broke open in their last
regular season game, however,
scoring a resounding 44-0 win
over TXO. This proved to be the
start of a streak which ran straight
through the playoff. They handily
defeated co-leader APA 15-0 in
their first post-season game and
then downed EEP and KB 18-0
and 13-0 respectively.
ALC took the top spot with a
record of 9-2 amounting to a total
of 18 pts. APA also ammassed 18
pts. but a loss to ALC during the
season put them in second place.
PTC (7-2-2) with 16 pts. and GDX
(7-3-1) with 15 finished third and
fourth respectively.
The League II playoffs begin
today with first place ALC
meeting fourth place GDX.
Tomorrow, 2nd place APA takes
on 3rd place PTC. The winners of
each game tackle each other on
Saturday in the final game of the
season.
In final regular games Saturday,
PTC knocked off a tough
Stumpy’s Raiders team, a victory
that gained PTC a playoff berth.
In the only other game, the
..grossman
Warriors forfeited to ALC.
The league winner will be
decided by the team with the
most total points in the regular
season and the playoff.

Adelphi
Meet LeMoyne Today
by Robert Familant
The varsity Cross Country team
hosted Adelphi Saturday, looking
to continue their dominance over
the downstaters. The series record
against the long Islanders had
previously been 2-0.
The Great Danes continued
their winning ways with a strong
win, the score being 19-41. State
dominated the field finishing first,
second and third, and placing
seven runners in the top ten.
Dennis Hackett led the field in the
fine time of 27:26, Tom Mills was

Danes 4. - 3 inOvertime
by Dave Fink
The Danes traveled to New
Paltz Saturday looking to run
their one game winning streak (?)
to two against an extremely
talented squad, but again Coach
Bill Schieffelin’s varsity booters
found a way to lose the game, this
time by a 4-3 count.
State started quickly, almost
scoring on the opening kick-off
only to be denied when a shot
narrowly missed the New Paltz
goal. They were not to be
discouraged however as
sophomore Gavin Lowder found
an opening and slammed the ball
into the net for a 1-0 Albany lead.
Captain Jim Shear made the
score 2-0 midway through the
second stanza as he converted a
penalty kick after New Paltz was
called for a hand ball inside the
goal area. The home team
narrowed the margin to 2-1 at the
half but the Danes raised their
Jead to 3-1 at the end of the third
quarter ona goal by attackman
Demetrius Michael.
Up until this time, State had
been able to keep New Paltz’s
explosive forward line in check.
Warden Scholarship
The selection committee for
the James A. Warden Scholarship
invites any male undergraduate to
make application for a grant of
$200 which is awarded yearly.
The Scholarship Award was
initiated by the class of 1951 in
memory of one of its members,
James A. Warden, who died in
1959. Recipients in past years
have been Craig Springer, Jack
Adams, and Patrick Gepfert. The
Selection Committee lists the
following criteria as a guide for
selection:
The applicant must be:
1. An able scholar.
Described as “‘one of the finest
lines around’? by Coach
Schieffelin, they are led by two
All-Americans, Bob Hippy and
Guy Casserini, a junior college
All-American transfer from
Orange Community College. The
Danes could not, apparently, hold
them out forever as they gave up
2 goals within the last seven
minutes of regulation play to tie
the encounter at 3-3 and then a
third marker in overtime to come
out on the short end by a 4-3
score,
According to Coach Schieffelin,
this was State’s finest game all
year long. They outplayed New
Paltz for most of the game, in
fact, for all but those seven last
disastrous minutes. He sees the
latter as being a finer team than
even RPI.
Albany plays their last game
Saturday against a well-drilled
Plattsburgh contingent. The
upstaters last year went to the
NAIA post season tournament
and finished fourth.
They are not reputed to be as
strong this year but will be a
formidable opponent nevertheless.
2. Have interest and
participation in athletics (need
not be varsity sports).
3. Sincere in his relations with
others.
4, Above criteria being equal,
need will decide.
Anyone wishing to apply or
desiring further information
should contact one of the
members of the selection
committee. The committee is
composed of Mrs. Blodgett, Mr.
Garcia, Mr. Hathaway and Mr.
Lamanna.
Women Swimmers
Begin Promising Season
The womens intercollegiate
swimming team traveled to
Plattsburgh Saturday to compete
in a triangular meet against Green
Mountain and host team
Plattsburg. This was their first
meet of the year and although
they finished third, the season as a
whole looks highly promising.
Green Mountain finished first
with 63% points, Plattsburg was
second with 59, with State last
with 58. We took four first places
with Sue Galloway leading the
team by copping both the 50 yard
and 100 yard breast stroke.
Maureen Gillard won the diving
competition while the quartet of
Pam Phillips, Jo Vecchi, Carol
Gleasman and Sandy Hutton
finsihed first in the 200 yard free
style relay.

second, Paul Holmes was third,
Bill Meehan was sixth, fourth for
State, and John Comerford
finished seventh, fifth for State.
Comerfozd is a freshman and this
was the first time he raced against
varsity competition. There seems
to be a bright future in store for
him. Paul Holmes was awarded
“Runner of the Meet” honors. It
was the second time this year for
Paul. He also received this honor
at the Lemoyne Invitational. The
team record now stands at 8-4,
with only a dual meet with
LeMoyne remaining. That meet
takes place today.
The team has done remarkably
well this season despite a very
rough schedule. Coach Bob
Munsey, who deserves a lot of
credit for this fine team, calls
them the hardest working team he
has coached in eight years.
Taking a quick look into the
future, next year’s team should be
as strong if not stronger than this
year’s. Of the first five State
finishers against Adelphi only one
will be graduating this June, Tom
Mills, and Pat Gepfert one of
State’s better runners, did not
finish as well as he normally does
because of a bad cold. With such a
strong nucleus for next year’s
squad, we should again have a
winning season.

Basketball Squad Starts Workouts
Without Margison and Price
Veteral coach Dick Sauers will
greet 12 varsity basketball
candidates Wednesday (October
15) as he begins his 15th season at
State University at Albany. Five
players, four of them lettermen,
are back from. last year’s 18-6
team, which finished third in the
NCAA College Division East
Regionals. Only two of the
returnees were starters, however,
so the key to 1969-70 will be held
by the newcomers.
The only first stringers from
last winter’s “Cardian Kids” are
senior captain Jack Adams, a 5:9”
Voorheesville High grad, and 60”
junior Jack Jordan from LaSalle
Institute, Troy. Among the losses
from last year are All-American
Rich Margison, rugged center
Scott Price, and floor general Jim
Caverly, All were starters and will
be hard to replace. Margison and
Price led the Great Danes to a
51-17 mark the past three years.
Sauers will look to speed,
balance, and depth to maintain
Albany’s reputation as an upstate
College Division power. As usual,
the Danes are lacking size. Adams
has been a backcourt starter since
1967, averaging 10 and 9 points
per game in previous varsity
campaigns. He is quick, a good
ball handler and tough on defense.
Jordan, who averaged 24. 7 as a
freshman, led last year’s team in
rebounds (210) and was second to

Arseneau were valuable subs last
season and figure to see plenty of
action.
Three transfer students upon
whom much depends are juniors
Steve Sheehan from Hudson
Valley, Alan Reid from Broome
Tech, and Jim Masterson from
Ithaca College. Sheehan, a 6’2”,
200 pounder from Fort Edward,
is a solid rebounder, who may
take up the slack left by Price’s
graduation. He pulled down 233

good shooter, as indicated by his
Percentages of 63.9 from the field
and 72.2 from the line. He
averaged 11.8 for the Vikings and

Burns of Brooklyn (East). Heher
led the Dane pups with a 13.6

averaged 10.1 as starting center.
Both have promising futures and
should see considerable varsity

Contemporary Music Festival
shows innovative techniques
Next Tuesday will see the start
of one of the most exciting
musical events ito hit Albany State
in many years. The first Festival
of Contemporary Music,
sponsored by Music Council, will
be held from Tuesday, November
11 through Saturday November
15, and will feature as
comprehensive a cross-section of
the Avant-Garde) as can be
obtained anywhere on this
continent.
Some of the leading figures of:
the American Avant-Garde will be
on campus for the event, and
many of the leading European
figures will be represented on the
programs. Several of the leading
new groups performing live
electronic music will also be on

Later that evening, at 8:30 in
the Main Theater of the
Performing Arts Center, John
Eaton will present a concert on
the SYNKET, a new, unique,
completely electronic synthesizer
specially designed for live
performance. Unlike most
electronic synthesizers which
require much time in
programming, the synket is a
specially engineered instrument
which eliminates much of this
complex programming.
On Wednesday, November 12,
the Sonic Arts Group, one of the
new groups which performs
electronic music and does
intermedia, will perform on the
main stage of the Performing Arts
Center. The group, consisting of
Alvin Lucier, Robert Ashley,
Gordon Mumma and David
Behrman, does some very odd
things. For instance, one of the

Young “tube” watchers
unresponsive to NETV
Education Television told the
magazine.
Viewers in the 2-to 11-year age
span generally don’t differentiate
between learning and
entertainment. Yet youthful
American viewers have a
surprisingly healthy appetite for
many of the so-called adult series.
“A glance at the viewing habits
of 2-to 1l-year olds during one
recent four-month period (Sept.
‘68-Jan. ’69) reveals that the
best-watched program (out of 211
prime-time specials and regular
series surveyed) was an animated
version of ‘Rudolph the
Red-nosed Reindeer,’ followed by
a pair of Peanuts specials, “How
the Grinch Stole Christmas’ and
the live-action program ‘Heidi.’
“Surprisingly high on the list
(ninth and tenth places) was a pair
of adult series, ‘Bewitched’ and
‘Gomer Pyle.’ And further along
(but still in the top 20) were a
National Geographic special on
reptiles, ‘Rowan and Martin,’
‘Julia,’ ‘The Ghost and Mrs. Muir’
and ‘The Flying Nun,” the
magazine said.
Observers of new children’s fare
for the 1969-70 season agree that
network TV programmers are
responding moderately “to
widespread fears that the
depiction of violence on television
might be contributing to
anitsocial behavior among the
young. The Saturday morning
programs are noticeably ‘softer’ in
their handling of action, and there
are considerably fewer Westerns
and adventure series in prime
time,” the magazine said.

visitations
by the Women’s Liberation Front
COMMUNICATIONS
What is women’s liberation?...something to laugh
about?...sex?...Mark Rudd’s body guards? It’s a subject much in the
air about now. There’s a lot of talk about it on this campus but little
is being done. Girls are interested, but what will their boy friends
think? And it seems so difficult to get to meetings. So a movement
that is involving women all across the country, yound and old,
students and working women, young mothers and the not yet
liberated hip “chicks” has no voice on this campus.
Last year a small group of women met on and off around the issues
of birth control and abortion. Discussions broadened to include the
possibility of a day care center on campus, the attitude of some of the
Infirmary staff toward its female patients, the double standard still
prevalent on the campus scene, roles for women beyond the campus,
and the relevance of the present educational system to women
students.
The main reason the women continued to meet, however, was that
they found talking to other women about important issues affecting
their lieves, in a situation where they could talk freely, without a
sense oof competing against each other, a rewarding experience. That
women can be friends and comrades, can really talk to each other
seriously, is a fact we’ve been educated against recognizing.
A couple of these women, plus a number of women from the
Albany, Schenectady, and Troy area continued to meet, ona different
basis, throughout the summer. In a Project free school class, these
women discussed Eleanor Flexnor’s book on the history of the
women’s movement, A Century of Struggle, Margaret Mead’s Male and
Female and several other readings dealing with different prospectives
on the problems women have in this society. Everyone realized that
serious reading and discussion was just beginning. But it was, for
some, a beginning.
These meetings held last year on campus and last summer at the
free school class need to be continued - on a much broader basis.
There are plans by Capital District women to have programs that will
teach out to all women in the tri-cities area. There will be smaller
discussion groups in both Troy and Schenectady for students as well
as off-campus women. And, in Albany, women should be involved in
discussion groups both on campuses and in the community.
And returning specifically to the SUNYA campus - there is much to
be done. The main emphasis, at this point, should be on educating
both the men and women on this campus about the particular
oppression of women and how that oppression is related to this
oppressive society. Women’s lib should have a literature table in the
campus center to distribute the articles, books, and newsletters that
are being written by those in the women’s liberation movement. We
need a regular column in the ASP to keep the issues before the
student body.
And eventually, we need programs that will unite and organize
campus women into an effective force for change. Women must
change the discriminatory hiring practices at this University, both in
academic and non-academic personnell; change the curriculum offered
to women and later, the jobs offered to the same women; change the
University’s (as well as the society’s) policy toward married women,
who cannot attend class (or work) because they have no place to leave
their children; and most of all, and perhaps most difficult of all,
change the attitudes of both men and women that perpetuate the
myth and reality of women as subordinate and inferior.
Women’s liberation should reach all the women on this campus -
whether they work here or teach here or are students here. Women in
the community should be invited to participate fully in all discussions
and programs. Come to weelky meetings at 3:00, Monday, Fireplace
Lounge, Campus Center. Everything is just beginning. Join us now!

Double Standard
To the Editors:
I am writing to make people aware of the double
standards that the University has imposed on the
graduate students at this school. The graduate
students are subjected to two types of grading
systems instead of one. Graduates have some
courses which are graded A-B-C-D-E while others are
graded S-U,
Any arbitrary grading of graduate students by
letter grades is an insult to their intellicence and
ability. Why should students who have proven their
potential be forced to compete for grades?
Shouldn’t the graduate students be able to learn in
their courses?
This double standard cannot be rationalized on
the grounds that letter grades are needed by the
student to be admitted to programs they are already
in. If it cannot be rationalized as a “measuring
stick” what then are the grades for? Letter grades
on the graduate level can become an arbitrary and
penalizing tool to prevent the learning precess form
entering into some graduate studies. A total S-U
system for grad students will eliminate this
duplicity.
Graduate students on this campus are a lost group
because of our short stay here. I urge the ASP to
support graduate students in our efforts for a
rationalized grading system. John Babcock
(Paar Fai 1 205 Quail Street
To the Editor and Student Body
The proposal passed by University Senate this
past Monday is ineffectual, so said Dr. Eson. He
went on to say that because of its nature our
Terry Mathias
institution will not change to any great degree, and
from these premise he felt debate should be ended
and the proposal passed.
The problem was that if the proposal is
ineffectual, we should change it— not pass it, With a
Pass-No Credit system the professors are given the
opportunity to teach their courses in a new and
interesting way. They have to learn to get the
students interested in the course, not the mark.
Under the present proposal, most classes will be
made up of a mixture of sutdents under pass-no
credit and A-E systems. The hopeful change in
curriculum can not take place. Also Freshman will
be marked on an A-E basis and then their mark will
later be converted to Pass or no credit.
How will the Freshman feel being in a class where
his fellow students get marks and he doesn’t? Will
his willingness to work be underminded?
What is the student doesn’t want pass-no credit;
he is forced to take it.
If the way of teaching and the reasons for
learning (i.e. the “institution”) are not changed then
why camouflage it with an “ineffectual” proposal?
Dr. Eson’s statement did not go far enough
because not only is the proposal “ineffectual” but
So is the institution. Maybe the Faculty Senators
and some Student Senators are afraid to truly
reform our University Structure. The only way
“Pass-Fail” will change curriculum and student
interest is when we have a system where all students
enrolled in the University are under Pass-Fail.
I hope, that with the help of fellow student
senators, and backing by the student body we can
teach the University how to stop crawling

Editorial. Comment
Dichotomy
This University serves one basic purpose: the preparation of
students for employment. This preparation takes the form of
supplying the student with the academic ‘credentials’ neccesary to
secure a career position— or to gain admittance to a grad school which
will eventually lead to the same end.
To suit these needs, the ‘trade-school’ university has maintained
institutions which aim at better preparedness in the ‘outside world’.
These institutions include a competitive marking system (a neccesity
in a world which seems to be founded on cheating and mistrusting in
order to attain the coveted prize), a field of study oriented around
memorization of facts, the adoption of a slave-master attitude towards
his ‘superiors’ (wherein the student learns to swallow his own intiative
and follow orders), and the acceptance of an atmosphere of total lack
of communication, whereby no one says what he thinks, and soon, no
longer has to think.
The University has also retained more formal institutions, such as
the placement service, which aim to fill out the University’s role in the
production of students capable of meshing into the outside
technocracy.
But there exists a breed of students today who, having been
breast-fed affluence and professional prestige, still do not enter these
hollow walls with career preparation as their goal. They, rather, wish
to spend four-- or five or six or more- yeasryears of their life, isolated
from the economic realities of society, experimenting, growing,
learning and developing their individuality.
They come with no premeditated goals; they may seek direction,
but they do not seek ‘placement.’. They, in their foolish, impractical,
and idealistic little ways, wish to grow and become individualss, they
will be at peace with.
It is these students—these sorely confused, certainly impractical
students- who are entering the University in the need of an
atmosphere which will allow them to, most importantly of all,
develope as they see fit. It is these stduents who are not being
satisfied.
Whether this - or any - University can satisfy the needs of these
confused people — is a question without a definite answer. But the
lack of a definite answer in no way cjustifies ignoring the problem.
The University has not ignored this student; it has, rather, attempted
to solve his problems along with everyone else’s. This cannot be done.
It is this student who has no need for a marking system. It is really
irrelevant whether he receives an A B C D or E ~ but whether he has
gained any knowledge is painfully relevant.
It is this student who has no need for the credit hour; for, if he has
learned, it cannot be measured, and if he has not, measurement is a
farce.
It is this student who is trying , oh so valiantly, to discard his
master-slave attitude(carefully acquired through thirteen years of
edgeakayshun). It is this stduent who is attempting to actually
communicate.
It is these students to whom the University has failed to address
itself effectively.
In a feeble attempt, the University has tried to ‘have its cake and
eat it too’. It has attenipted to "provide relevancy’ for all--those who
crave it and those who have no care for it, in equal dosages. This in
between step mollifies no one.
The university hands us a shoddy, confusing pass-fail system which
probably cannot suit the needs of any of the different type s of
students, and then says, benevolently, “Here, here is true
education”....most don’t want it at all, and to some, it is pitifully
little.
No compromise between the two alien worlds of these students can
be satisfactory; there must be a definite seperation, and only then can
there be satisfaction for both--or either-side.
The stduent who wishes to go to med school will be hurt by
attempts at ‘relevancy’ or at ‘educational freedom’. He has chosen his
path~ any sidetracks along the way the University may provide do not
really aide him, but may harm him in his pursuance of his goal.
A candidate for University Senate last month suggested that the
University should provide all kinds of environments, so that all might
find their niche; Right now, the only environment being provided is
one in which many find themselves pitifully unhappy. Until the
recognition of the two different worlds is complete, none will be
satisfied.
Inherent in this argument seems to be the assumption that the
student who desires relevancy is the superior stduent. This
assumption, while it is appealing, is a foolish one. The thing we must
do is recognize the difference in students and then cope with it-not
judge it.
We realize that the realistic, practical outlook is not only an
ingrained part of this society-it is an essential cornerstone of it. But
for those of us who cry out for merely an idealistic developemental
center, society’s seemingly appointed caretaker--the University~has
failed. We hope it cna succeed, or at least come closer to success. But
will it? Can it?
In our agony, we await an answer ~ and action.

Forget the War?
To the University Community:
Is it possible that between moratoriums and
marches, Americans can forget that a war is going
on?
Perhaps the atrophy of our society is so pervasive,
reaching into government, industry, economy,
law-enforcement and education that we can no
longer distinguish it from everyday life. It’s so much
easier to ignore our individual part in this delay to
conform, and remain unnoticed!
Since I transferred to Albany last September, I
have wrestled with the question of my personal
complicity with the system. Today, at long last, I
reached my eighteenth birthday and E must act in
accord with my convictions. Unfortunatey, 1 can’t.
I have chosen to register with the Selective Service
System. Although I refuse to accept any
classification other than that of conscientious
objector, I feel extreme guilt at this decision. I am
sorry for all those men who have died in our
invasion of South-east Asia, and all those who loved
each one of them.
l ask that each of you re-examine your role in our
country’s policies, and maybe a few of you will be
able to take a stand against illegitimate authority,
and resist being swept into docile submission to the
Establishment.
I regret that I could not.
In peace,
Jack L. Schwartz
Protest Make-
To the Editors,
p
Students and faculty who take part in political
activities should check carefully into the make-up of
the “protests” in which they participate, both for
their nation’s good and for their own.
I take in point the thousands of SUNY students
who signed Political and Social Positions
Committee’s petition for funds for the November
15 bus trip to Washington. The overall coordination
of this demonstration is in the hands of the New
Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet
Nam (or the “New Mobe”). New Mobe is
represented on campus by “Student Mobe” which
has representatives on the steering committee of
“New Mobe.” If SUNY students had taken the time
to look into “New Mobe’s” leadership, it is doubtful
that they would have supported the November 15
protest in such large numbers.
On “New Mobe’s” steering committee are a
number of personalities whose careers bear looking
into. There is for one, Arnold Johnson—who
happens to be public relations secretary for the
Communist Party USA. There is also Sylvia
Kushner, whose husband Sam Kushner has served
on the National Committee of the CPUSA. Others
of this type are Irving Sarnoff and Otto
Nathan—both of whom have taken refuge in the
Sth Amendment when questioned onCommunist
Party activities.
Also included in “New Mobe” are David Dellinger
and Rennie Davis, both currently on trial for
violation of federal anti-war laws during last year’s
Democratic Convention in Chicago. The last name
which rates mention here is that of Fred (“Big Red
Fred”) Halstead, last year’s candidate for President
on the Socialist Workers’ Party ticket. The SWP has
long been listed as subversive by the U.S.
government.
Students who wish to protest the war (or
anything else) have that right. But with that on
goes the obligation to do it thoughtfully and
tesponsibly. The leaders of “New Mobe” to many
do not appear to be of the caliber to provide the
leadership necessary for such protest. This is not
only the opinion of those who support the nation’s
commitment in Viet Nam, but also of several leaders
of the Viet Nam Moratorium Committee.
It would seem that if one wishes to protest the
Viet Namese War, one could find bett
do it with than the “New Mobe.” peer
Sincerely,
David A. Pietrusza
Joint Appeal
Open Letter to the Student Body:
In the past the students of SUNYA have
contributed to the Joint Appeal fund drive. They
felt it to be past of their social responsibility to-do
so. 66,000 members of the Capitol District have
seem fit to contribute to this Appeal which collects
for 33 voluntary community agencies which provide
“essential health, educational, welfare and character
building services.”
Many of you worry a great deal about the
relationship between the University and the local
community. Many of you seck the humanistic
approach to life. There is no better way to aid a
good relationship between campus and community
than showing your concern for the Joint Appeal.
And this could hardly be more humanistic!
Also many of these services are related to
students here at SUNYA. These services provide
jobs for many students. These services even employ
some of the parents of students. Many of our
students find it necessary, appropriate, and even
convenient to use the services. If we could only
return half of the benefits these services give us, it
would be greatly appreciated.
Beginning next Monday and lasting until next
Friday pledge slips will be availabble both at the
Campus Center Information Desk and in the
Student Association Office. Fill out a pledge slip. Or
