COURT ORDERS BUDGET FREEZE
by Ira Wolfman
Staff Reporter
‘ALL STUDENT ASSOCIA-
TION GROUPS’ BUDGETS ARE
FROZEN.” Those words, in a
memorandum from SA Presiden
Dave Neufeld to all Student As-
sociation groups last Thursday,
signalled the latest—and most dra-
matic— outcome of a nearly year--
long controversy over the use of
mandatory tax fees.
After months of debate over
the propriety of the use of tax
money for supposedly “partisan
groups,” Ken Stringer, a senior
here, initiated a Civil Court case
against the University and Student
Association in an attempt to
either eliminate the mandatory
tax or to get specific guidelines
prescribing expenditures. The re-
cent budget freeze comes as a
result of that court case, via a
decision handed down by Justice
Harold Koreman of the New York
State Supreme Court last Thurs-
day.
‘As a result of that decision, all
SA groups have been prohibited
from spending any money which
derives from mandatory tax until,
in the words of Koreman’s deci-
sion, they receive the ‘“determ-
ination and approval of the trus-
tees as to whether they are educa-
tional, cultural, recreational or
social in nature.”
In effect, what this does is
revoke the authority which SA
has enjoyed in dealing with the
funds collected from mandatory
tax. Koreman’s decision was based
on the fact that, since the Board
of Trustees had actually become
the enforcing agency for col-
lection of the tax, it still retained
responsibility for the use of the
funds, “In view of the require-
ment for payment of the activities
fee before a student may be regis-
tered, and that fact that grades
and transcripts may be withheld
for failure to pay,the TRUSTEES
ly established a man-
ies fee.” (Emphasis
added).
Council Calls For Action
Security Faces Crisis
by Al Senia
Features Editor
The following is the first of a
series of three articles investi-
gating the present state of secur-
ity on campus and the future
course of security operations.
At the beginning of this aca-
demic year, Albany State’s cam-
pus security force is at a crucial
point in its development.
A search is currently underway
to fill a new position —Director of
Security— which, it is hoped, will
bring greater efficiency and pro-
fessionalism to the SUNYA police
force.
Central Council Thursday night
called for the establishment of a
vieitian review board. Such a body
could play a major role in deter-
ee
oo
ee
a
-
mining security’s future priorities
and establishing needed rapport
with the student body.
But security faces immediate
problems which will not be becti-
fied soon.
A major area of concern is the
shortage of manpower. There are
currently less patrolmen on the
force than at this time last year.
Meanwhile, trends indicate a sub-
stantial increase in persemmet (as
oppesed to property) crimes. This
would include the areas of rob-
bery, assault, and sex offenses.
And, qualified applicants to the
security force cannot be found, a
result of the low pay offered.
‘An expected legislative appro-
priation has become bogged down
and will not be forthcoming for a
number of months.
Continued on page 5
“In the court’s opinion, it can-
not be said,” Koreman’s decision
goes on, “that the officials of the
University have no voice or con-
trol over appropriations or ex-
penditures of the fund (Note: this
point may have been made by the
defense, in stating that SA had
always been autonomous in deal-
ing with funds) since appropri-
ations may be made by the stu-
dents only for the purposes per-
mitted by the Trustees” (i.e. edu-
cational, social, cultural, and re-
creational concerns). In his con-
clusion, Koreman states that
“since the responsibility of admin-
istration and supervision in this
area rests with the Trustees, ap-
of the Trustees as to the purpose
for such appropriations and ex-
penditures,”
The entire question of who
shall control the disbursement of
student funds is an extremely
touchy one. By revoking SA’s
autonomy, the court decision may
have opened the doors to censor-
ship and regulation of necessarily
independent student organiza-
tions. It is mainly for this reason
that Student Association is going
to appeal the decision, and it is
for this reason that the case is
being followed with great interest
across the state.
An appeal will be entered as
soon as is possible by SA’s law-
yers; the court to which the ap-
Appeals Court, the highest state
court. No action can be taken,
however, until Justice Koreman
releases his “judgement,” a docu-
ment which instructs all parties as
to the final effects of the decision.
The judgement should be coming
out some time this week.
In the interim, a meeting of the
SUNY Board of Trustees is
scheduled for tomorrow in New
York City. It is expected that a
temporary solution will be
worked out there which will at
least enable the SA groups cur-
rently cut off from funds to
function once more. However, a
long range solution must be ar-
rived at, so the courts have not
seen the last of “Kenneth Stringer
vs. Gould, et al.”
President Louis Benezet replies to “crib-in” demands at Thursday’s confrontation in the Administration
Building.
Sixty Press for Day Care
Women’s Lib Stages
by Maida Oringher
Armed with balloons, car-
riages and babies, nearly 60 wo-
men, children, members of The
Women’s Liberation Front, Con-
cerned Parents, and The New Left
Organizing Committee staged a
“crib-in” at President Benezet’s
office Thursday demanding ‘“‘a
written report” from the admin-
istration on the status of the
campus day care center.
The group entered the admin-
istration building, tacked up a
banner reading “Women Demand
Day Care,” and handed the pres-
ident a sheet of demands. These
,included a day care center for
children 6 months to 6 years,
adequate funds for a minimum of
100 children, a questionnaire to be
sent out to all students, faculty,
and staff to determine the number
of children eligible for the day
care center, and a democratic
board of directors with the fol-
lowing membership—members of
Women’s Liberation Front, stud-
ent parents, faculty parents, staff
parents, the director of the day
care center, the president of the
university, and a budget analyst.
The cry for a day care center
began last February when the
‘Women’s Liberation Front de-
manded “that SUNY at Albany
establish a full time infant and
child care center for the children
of students, employees, and fac-
ulty.” The several meetings, in-
quiries, and conferences that fol-
lowed resulted in the formation of
a committee chaired by Mrs.
Barbara Pelton.
Prompted to “speak now!” the
President read a memorandum
concerning the child day care pro-
ject. The memo stated that a
favorable answer is expected from
Central SUNY concerning the re-
lease of university funds, and a
grant of $10,000 has been made
toward the Child Day Care Center
facility by the Benevolent Assoc-
iation. “The release of funds from
the State will be an emergency
grant but further grants will have
to be made by supplemental ap-
propriation by the legislature.”
A prospective director of the
Center has been chosen. And, ata
later interview Seth Spellman,
... benjamin
Crib-i
rib-in
Assistant to the President, men-
tioned that plans are “moving on”
concerning the renovation of P
ierce Hall on the downtown cam-
pus; however, no date has been set
for the opening of the center.
The day care center would be
limited to serving the children of
SUNYA students and students’
wives, and fees will be charged on
a sliding scale to be established\by
the office of Financial Aid. “Any
students able to pay will be ex-
pected to do so.” According to
Spellman, the center will be ableto
accommodate 46 children from
the money now available.
Although some angered stud-
ents denied it, the President as-
sured them that the information
iit this memo had been available
to the leaders of the Women’s
Liberation Front on Tuesday.
President Benezet commented
that the group had “asked for
nothing unreasonable” and that
he felt “assured that the project
will succeed and could become a
model of Child Day Care Centers
in universities.”

Central Council Committed
To Overturn Court Decision
by Ken Stokem
Central Council unanimously
reaffirmed its commitment to
appeal to the higher courts of this
state and country in order to seek
to overturn the September 16th
decision of the Albany County
Supreme Court of New York
State which froze all Student
Association funds.
The decision of the Court re-
placed the previous restraining or-
der laid down earlier this month
freezing only the budgets of the
Free School, Third World Libera-
tion Front, Day Care Center, and
payment of the spring Strike’s
phone bills.
Under this latest development
in the Stringer vs. Gould, Et. Al
Case, all Student Association bud-
gets must first be approved by the
Board of Trustees before they can
be implemented. This will take a
minimum of one and a half weeks,
during which all monies are fro-
zen. All efforts are to be made to
resolve the situation as soon as
possible, though support is being
sought from other State Unive-
rsity and College student govern-
Jewish Holidays
Off ?
by Ken Deane
President Benezet and several
university administrators were
severely criticized by members of
the Jewish student community
yesterday at the President’s week-
ly forum. The students are de-
manding the closing of the univer-
sity to enable Jewish students and
faculty to celebrate freely the
dewish high holidays at Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
President Benezet professed to
strongly sympathize with the stu-
dents’ request, but expressed his
inability to act decisively due to
the limits of the school calendar,
now. precariously short, He re.
iterated the fact that the students
had had the opportunity last year
to question the formation of the
calendar, but apparently the input
was not forceful enough to ini-
tiate change.
The students tor thei part,
pointed to the closing of Harpur
and Stony Brook, for the observ-
ance of the Holidays, as prece-
dent. They also referred to a tacit
agreement they believed they had
reached with the administration
last year as to the closing of
school,
‘A resolution to close school has
already been passed by Central
Council and forwarded’ to Dr.
Benezet. A final decision con-
ments which this decision might
also affect shortly.
In other action, last Thursday
night Council once again appealed
to the administration, faculty and
students to grant recognition of
the religious beliefs of students by
not holding classes on the Jewish
New Year, Rosh Hashanah, The
bill asked that no classes be held
starting at noon September 30
until the following Monday.
Council also approved a bill
recommending the establishment
of a Civilian Review and Advisory
Board to Campus Security. The
Faculty
board is to be constituted of four
undergraduates, one graduate stu-
dent, two faculty members one
member appointed by the Presi-
dent of the university, and the
Security Chief. The board is to
study its legal rights to act upon
specific allegations and make re-
commendations to the adminis-
tration.
Finally, a giant step was taken
by Council when a bill was ap-
proved, 18--3, to authorize Busi-
ness Committee to negotiate for
game machines for the Campus
Center.
Senate Urges
Jewish
by Bob Warner
The University Senate almost
unanimously recommended to
President Benezet that the univer-
sity “suspend all classes ‘on the
Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah,
commencing noon on September
30 through Friday, October 2,
1970, andto suspend all classes
after noon on October 9 through
Saturday, October 10 for the
Yom Kippur holiday.”
The initial resolution was
amended by Dean Perlmutter in
order to gain further support for
suspension of classes. The
amendment, which was accepted,
called upon the faculty to make
up classes in “such manner” as
necessary.
The resolution, introduced by
Dave Neufeld, Lenny Kopp, and
its chief lobbyists, the Hillel Soci-
ety, spearheaded the debate for
the adoption of the bill. Their
argument centered around the
principle that if a Christian reli
gious holiday such as Good Fri-
day, is a reason for the closing of
the University, then certainly a
Jewish high holy day could be the
basis for the suspension of classes.
The point in question was the
equity of the school calendar. At
one point, a Hillel member who
was recognized by President
Benezet, called the resolution’s
opponents discriminatory toward
Jewish students.
The resolution’s opponents fo-
cused their argument both on
moral and legal grounds. The mor-
al problem seemed the be the
separation of church and state.
Some Senators could not accept
the idea of any university holidays
based on religious grounds.
Dean Morris raised the possibi-
Votes Neutral Stand
Individual Members Dissent
by Michael Avon
In resolving that this corporate
university shouldn’t endorse any
political or social philosophies,
the faculty has called for a laissez
faire attitude toward external
political affairs. The resolution
passed at their September 8 meet-
ing, stated that the university
should be “an open and inclusive
society” which is ‘dedicated to
the search for truth.” It passed by
a vote of 197 to 77 with eight
abstentions.
“There was no time to lose. I
feel that there’s a dire emergency-
—a deep crisis—in higher educat-
ion,” said Professor Morris Fin-
dier, who co-sponsored the resolu-
tion with Professor Hans Pohlsan-
der. He added that it was neces-
sary for the Albany State faculty
to take a stand against the univer-
sity becoming a “political arm.”
Professor Robert Hoffman, an
opponent of the resolution, didn’t
feel the urgency expressed by
Finder. He insisted that the reso-
lution was both “vague” and
“unfunctional.”” Hoffman claimed
that the bill failed to offer any-
thing meaningful and he voiced
concern that it will have a polari-
zing effect.
Professor Mauritz Johnson
joined Hoffman in labeling the bill
vague. He contended that an issue
such as Vietnam was both inter-
nally and externally political, and
therefore dealing with it wasn’t

defined by the bill. Johnson also
claimed that the resolution was
binding on no one and that it
failed to establish anything new.
According to Finder and Pohl-
sander, the question of Vietnam
isn’t a university matter. “The
university has no business taking a
political stand. But, I’m not say-
ing individuals should be aloof
from politics,” Finder said.
Opponents and proponents did
agree on some issues. Both parties
stated that the faculty’s vote was
in reaction to last year’s strike and
‘a University Senate resolution
condemning United States involv-
ement in Southeast Asia. The
strike, which began early last May,
closed down most of the univer-
sity. The Vietnam resolution was
passed by the University Senate
last February 9.
Although the!faculty resolution
isn’t binding on the University
Senate, Finder said that the Sen-
ate should reflect the views of the
faculty. He insisted that this
wasn’t done with last year’s Viet-
nam vote. Pohlsander added that
there’s no campus organization
that fully represents the faculty
and therefore none should speak
for it.
Johnson, who is the Vice-Chair-
man of the University Senate,
assessed the resolution as “the
faculty’s position that the univer-
sity shouldn’t get involved poli-
tically.” He added that many fac-
ulty members feared that during
last. year’s strike, people with un-
popular opinions were harassed.
Johnson claims that the univer-
sity “is necessarily involved in
political and social issues.” He
also maintained that in the'up-
coming years it may become mere
involved. “Maybe the answer is to
set up another forum— a univer-
sity assembly which will represent
all factions and not try to run the
university at the same time,” he
said.
At the September 8 faculty
meeting, proponents of the uni-
versity’s exclusion from polities
claimed that individuals can still
take a stand. Opponents insisted
that the university as a whole was
in essence political, because by its
nature, it supports the political
and social philosophies of the
society.

lity of withdrawal of state aid and
accreditation if the university had
cancelled classes. As the calendar
now stands we are scheduled for
the bare minimum of school
weeks required by state education
; law, and it was this fact that
necessitated Dean Perlmutter’s
amendment. Stony Brook and
Harpur have cancelled classes, but
the Jewish holidays were ac-
counted for during the writing of
their calendars which was not the
case here at Albany.
It was also stated that the
Board of Trustees prohibited any
cancellation of classes for any
reason during the year. Therefore,
President Benezet suggested using
the term “suspension” instead of
“cancellation” to avoid any legal
problem.
Dr. Thorne maintained that
since many students were led to
believe last year that classes would
be suspended on the Jewish holi-
days, the administration for that
reason alone was under a moral
obligation to fulfill the expecta-
tions of students which it had
implanted.
In other business the Senate
voted (45-16) to curb its powers
in taking political stands. The
philosophy of Bill 197071-01
which was introduced by the Sen-
ate Executive Committee was that
“When a situation external to the
University is demonstrated to the
Senate’s satisfaction to affect sig-
nificantly the quality of the Uni
versity’s functioning, the Senate
may appropriately express its ap-
proval or disapproval and if cir-
cumstances seem so to warrant,
will seek endorsement of its
action from the Faculty and the

dum, It shall be the responsibility
of the sponsors of any resolution

versity itself to demonstrate, in

New Program Offers Credit
- For Volunteer Service Work
by Keith Morrison
This fall semester at
Albany State marks the start
of an ambitious new commun-
ity service for credit program
whose impact on the scope of
university education and the
tenor of university-community
relationships, could prove to
be tremendous.
Under the new program stu-
dents will receive from one to
four credits per semester for
volunteer work inthe community
and up to fifteen credits a
semester for a community ser-
vice project,. Dr. Melvin I.
Urofsky, head administrator of
the program feels that this
could become a significant
part of education at SUNYA,
“It may be that in the future
every student will eventually earn
some credits through volunteer
community work during his or her
four year stay at the university.”
He also sees a time when there
will exist a program totally con-
trolled by students with faculty
helping only to decide what credit
will be given for what work. In
addition to these influences on
university life Dr. Urofsky sees
the possibility of a definite im-
provement in university-
community relationships which
have become strained in recent
years. Urofsky does acknowledge,
though, that the effect on the
community will depend a great
deal on how the program is run.
Although the concept behind
the community service credit pro-
gram has been discussed within
the university community for
several years it was not until last
spring that the faculty voted to
accept the idea of community
work as a “‘valid learning exper-
ience” for which one could re-
ceive academic credit. Very early
this semester the faculty finally
made the decision to start a com-
munity service credit program.
The Office of Innovative and
Developmental Education which
is now administering E.0.P. was
given the job of handling the new
project, and Assistant Dean
Urofsky was appointed to head
this new program. Urofsky began
to formulate the program by con-
tacting the Volunteer Bureau of
Albany which possesses a list of
all community service _organi-
zations, their manpower require-
ments and provides a central or-
ganization through which students
have been able to find work.
Urofsky emphasizes that without
the helpof the Volunteer Bureau
the program would have been
impossible.
On Wednesday, September 9, an
informational meeting was held.
Present were representatives of
the Volunteer Bureau, Legal Aid
Society, SENCAP and other or-
ganizations as well as over 300
students. At this meeting it was
made perfectly clear that no stu-
dent would be kept in the pro-
gram who showed an unwilling-
ness to work, and it was stated
that there were provisions for
dropping those members who did
not meet the requirements. In the
case of service projects a careful
check would be kept of the indi-
vidual doing them. It is up to the
individuals to make arrangements
with the university and the organi-
zations they work with to ascer-
tain what was to be expected
from them in terms of papers and
other proof of project comple-
tion,
Students who wished to enroll
in the program had to first con-
tact the agency they wished to
work for or the Volunteer Bureau
and secure a note stating what
work they would be doing and
how many hours a week they
would be working. They were
then given a eourse card and had
to follow the normal drop/add
procedure. As a rule, credits are
given on the basis of five hours a
week equal to three credits, but
this varies. As of now, about 300
students have signed up for volun-
teer work, and a half dozen for
project work. Volunteer work
consists of such things as tutoring,
technical assistance in hospitals,
and research for legal aid.
Urofsky explained that only
those who were qualified through
some sort of previous experience,
and had a clear idea in mind of
what they wanted to do were
allowed to undertake projects.
Projects range from one girl’s pro-
gram to catch potential dropouts
to another boy’s program for a
community fair on Albany's
South Side.

Professor Advocates
Independent Study
by Vicki Gottlich
In this important election
year in New York, ten political
science students are aiding in
election campaigns as their in-
dependent sutdies projects. Yet,
according to the sponsor of the
project, Professor BernarJohnpoll,
even more important than the
project itself is the amount of
polities employed in the entire
independent studies program.
The object of the political
seiency project is to study first
hand the entire campaign process.
By so doing, they will be able to
apply their previous knowledge of
Political science to the actual poli-
tical situation. In order the grant-
ed his three credits for the course,
each will havto prepare a paper or
a dissertation explaining what he
has learned. Johnpoll’s only regret
is that the course, organized last
May, could not have included
working with the actual nominat-
ing process.
Johnpoll, assistant professor in
political science, regards the in-
dependent study program as one
of the best methods of in-
struction. The only problem, he
feels, is in getting professors who
are willing to undertake all the
work involved. An advocate of
more direct relations between
faculty and students, Johnpoll be-
lieves that this university “is mak-
ing a terrible mistake in not think-
ing of a tutorial system” of educa-
tion similar to that of Britain.
Johnpoll believes that the work
load of each professor should in-
clude monthly sessions with his
students in which they can get to
know each other and the prob-
lems of their fields. According to
him, “each subject is peripheral to
the professor,” and the students
are losing out by being taught by
traduate assistants.
The basic purpose of the ini-
tiation of independent study in
Political science is to aid the
student participants in their un-
derstanding of the American po-
litical system. As they further
their knowledge they will also
hopefully heighten the awareness
of the community as well as help
the candidates for whom they are
working.

Comment
Editorial
Stringer vs Gould
Mandatory tax has had an unsteady history. Only a small
minority of students has ever approved of it. Continually, the
debate has raged over its fairness and acceptability, and with each
round of the debate organizations funded by Student Association
have risen hastily to its defense. Now, the implications of that tax
directly threaten the freedom and existence of those same
organizations and clubs.
The decision rendered by Judge Koreman, defining the monies
collected through mandatory fee as state funds, seriously en-
dangers the autonomy of student government. By bringing
Student Association under the supervision of the Board of
Trustees and within the directives of the State Education Law, it
threatens to involve that government in an unworkable bureau-
cracy of state audit and control. The procedures of the state,
which not even the university administration must follow in full,
would render student government ineffective the moment they
were enforced.
Indications are that within a week an appeal will be filed in the
Appelate Court. Indications are, too, that Chancellor Boyer and
President Benezet are co-operating with Student Association to
free those funds pending the appeal. Judge Koreman’s decision,
however, makes it clear that whatever the short term arrange-
ments made and whatever the outcome of the appeal, no student
government of a state university, which is supported by man-
datory tax, can take its independence too lightly.
Clearly state coercion, often a means of state protection, is a
means of destruction as well. The penalties used to support
mandatory tax, such as the withholding of grades and refusal of
diplomas, have become in fact the crutch of student government.
They constitute an unacceptable dependency on the state and to
that extent weaken the freedom of students to organize them-
selves. Whatever the outcome of Stringer vs. Gould, the fact
remains that student government by depending on state co-oper-
ation has short-changed its own freedom and its own strength.
It is imperative therefore, that all parties involved re-commit
themselves to the basic right of student freedom. Dr. Boyer and
Dr. Benezet must publicly state to the Board of Trustees their
Opposition to any interference with Student Association. Central
Council, most importantly, must begin an immediate investigation
into the means of freeing Student Association from the crutch of
mandatory tax and the ever-present threat of state coercion. It is
the first responsibility of those in student government to take the
means to protect the freedom of that government. To insure that
freedom, mandatory tax must go.
Responsibility
University education struggles uphill in the hope that it does
not climb a volcano. It struggles daily against a deepening
financial crisis, social polarization, a widening acceptance of
violent confrontation. The reality of academia has changed. For
the university student, the choice of major is no longer the
decision for the ivory tower.
On this campus the crisis grown steadily more acute. It extends
itself to the first principle of student organization— the freedom
to organize and to control. Yet, it extends itself to other, equally
significant affairs.
It involves physical expansion and priority of expenditures. It
involves credibility of administrators, as the day-care controversy
makes clear. It involves basic divisions over what education should
consist of and how it should be handled. It involves opening the
doors of the university to the disadvantaged. It involves the
grading system. It involves respect and equality for minority
cultures and faiths.
To such an extensive crisis, there is no simple answer, though
often those most involved perform as it there were. Not even
power resolves crises of human self mastery and human dignity,
for leaves in its wake a different minority and a different
question. Yet, where power becomes centralized it is most easily
cursed. The growth of bureaucracy parallels, in recent years, the
growth of confrontation and violence. It marks the gfowth of
delay and frustration.
Latent frustrations emerge in multitude and the community is
strained. In the midst of such crisis, the right of the journal to
freely address the tension should be among the first guarantees.
Yet, the Albany Student Press resumes publication at a time when
its very right to publish is threatened and censorship established.
Categorically, we reject the control by the Board of Trustees, or
any delegate thereof. ‘
We reject control because we have a responsibility to provide all
sides with fair hearing. We reject control knowing that the extent
of the crisis requires a great deal of a media, far beyond what we
have shown in the past. We reject control, promising instead a new
effort to meet that crisis, to serve as a responsible journal.

Interestingly enough, local
SUNY security forces have, in the
past, disputed with the Bureau of
the Budget: over the low priority
assigned to security budgetary in-
creases. But soon after last
spring’s campus disturbances, the
legislature appropriated $800,000
to increase security forces on 18
of the 26 SUNY campuses.
Difficulty in the office of the
co-ordinator for State University
Security has stalled Albany State’s
share of the money. The dispute
involves the civil service depart-
ment and centers over qualifica-
tions and pay for security per-
sonnel.
An impromptu visit to security
yielded the following inform-
ation:
There appear to be no intelli
gence files on student activists.
The only file security has consists
of a series of index cards. These
contain mostly statistical informa-
tion involving cases under current
investigation,
There is a special drug file
listing the names of those arrested
or known to be implicated in
drug-related cases.
A spot check this reporter
made comparing the names of
some of the recognized student
activists with names on the list,
yielded no listing for student acti-
vists. Neither were the president
or vice-president of Student As-
sociation listed.
James Connally, campus securi-
ty, clearly indicated his opposi-
tion to keeping intelligence files
on student activists if for no other
reason than because security has
no use for such files. Connally
does not see security’s needs being
served by keeping reports on sus-
pected student “radicals.”
Further information received
from sources in the student gov-
ernment indicates that Mr. Con-
nally is resisting subtle administra-
tive pressure to begin keeping
such files.
No weapons stockpile exists in
the security building. All campus
policemen are unarmed in keeping
with state policy. In the event of a
disturbance, the only weapons
available are riot bataan sticks.
Security also has two 8 mil-
limeter movie cameras which can
be used to help gather evidence
for identification purposes in
cases where crimes have been
committed. One has a 5:1 zoom
lens; the other a 12:1z00m lens.
In addition, there is a Polaroid
camera that is used in situations
similar to last spring’s firebomb-
ings where a picture of the crime
scene is necessary. There are some
still pictures which contain scenes
of property and property damage.
Also, a few reels of choice films
are kept because of their rele-
vancy in crimes where the statute
of limitations has not expired.
With advanced equipment of
the sort and with the possibility
of expanded files, administrators
and student leaders alike are rais-
ing the question of who ean con-
trol the use of such equipment
and such files. Thus far, no guid-
elines have been set.
Central Council passed a reso-
lution calling for the establish-
ment of a civilian review board of
students, faculty, and administra-
tors.
Connally has already indicated
his willingless to be bound by the
decisions of such a board— if such
decisions do not conflict with his
administrative superiors. Thus, the
effectiveness of the board will be
directly related to the amount of
power President Benezet gives it.
One problem Connally faces
concerns the collection of thou-
sands of dollars in unpaid faculty
parking fines. Under university
policy if students do not pay
parking tickets, they will not re-
ceive diplomas or transcripts. In
effect, they are forced to pay.
The same does not hold true
for faculty members, however. If
they refuse to pay fines, security
has no recourse.
The result, Connally indicated,
is that there are “thousands of
dollars in unpaid faculty tickets,”
One faculty member alone has
thirty-five tickets outstanding.
Student Arrests
‘The final area in which security
has come under fire is the area of
student arrests prosecuted in cri-
minal court. Examples are the
cases of Vernon Bowen and Jack
Schwartz.
It generally goes unnoticed that
the guidelines security follows in
pursuing such cases are not set by
Connally or investigator John
Henighan. Instead, they ar€ laid
down by higher administrators—
Dr. Milton Olsen or the president
of the University.
Security Procedures Probed
In the case of Vernon Bowen,
an Albany State student and the
Black Panther charged with cri-
minal mischief and harassment,
the order sent to security through
administrative channels was to
“pursue vigorously.” In effect,
they meant his case was assigned a
top priority rating which would
probably (and in this case did)
lead to prosecution in criminal
court,
Such action raises the question
of intimidation of recognized stu-
dent activist leaders by the ad-
ministration, Activist students
question whether Bowen is being
Prosecuted to such an extent be-
cause of his affiliation his
political beliefs. The administra-
tion claims it was unaware of this
when the priority on’ Bowen was
sent down,
Civilian Review Board
Out of such controversy came
ithe call by Student Association
President Dave Neufeld, his cab-
inet, and Central Council for the
necessity of having a review board
to oversee security operations.
Such a board would be composed
of students, faculty and adminis-
tration.
Ultimately, the effectiveness of
such a board would depend on the
reaction of President Benezet. Will
the board have the power to set
priorities for security? Can it de-
cide the worth of photographic
evidence used in investigations?
Can it dispense the funds security
will receive within the next few
months? Will it offset growing
mistrust existing between the se-
curity force and student leaders?

standing in their way is that
there are other people out

Once they've thrown the ball,
though, the job is up to the
receivers, and they've got some
good ones. Powerfully build Ed
Perka looks especially good for
the tight end slot. The wide
receivers are Cleve Little and
Ed Williams. Little has been
clocked at 9.6 in the hundred,
and looks to be the type of
guy who can break a game
open. Williams is a crafty re-
ceiver who has the finesse to
humiliate a defensive man.
The backfield could be one
of the teams strongest points.
Potential super-stars Terry Lee,
Rick Petty, Billy Ray Lewis,
Ernie Thomas, Larry Peterson,
Rudy Vido, John Malezyk, and
Bernie Boggs, are all men who
can get the job done. Rudy
Vido is the biggest man in the
backfield at 672”, and 225

muscle and 15% concentrated

is a powerful runner who has a

At the end of the first half
you would never have thought
that the Danes were going to
win easily. The score was 0-0
and the play was sloppy. The
Dane offense couldn’t get to-

sing poor.
The only real threats of the

A diving save by Brooklyn’s

scoreless tie was finally broken
with 13:30 left in the 3rd

much too busy complaining
about the officiating to bother
about a little thing like a

had merit (ie., the officials al-

Led by a tenacious defense,
STB defeated Potter Club by
the score of 21-6 in a hard-
fought game this past Saturday.
Potter’s trouble in scoring
stemmed from their inability to
establish a consistent running
attack against STB’s tough de-
fensive line, headed by de-
fensive end Paul Lenok.
The key, though, to STB’s
success in this game and past
years is its tremendous offens-
ive line, The line consisting of
right guard Warren Sabloff, cen-
ter Arty Lavitt and left guard
Jeff Glassey average close to
230 pounds and provide fantas-
tie protection for quarterback
Larry Myers.
Turning to the game itself,
STB struck first on a Myers to
Tom Sears 40-yard pass play.
Potter got itself back into the
ballgame on a quarterback
sneak but on the ensuing kick-
off, Larry Smith, taking a re-
verse from Bob Qnofry carried
the ball all the way for a
touchdown. That made it 14-6,
and that was the halftime
score. The only scoring in the
second half was done by quar-
terback Meyers who ran the
ball in from some 20 yards
out.
In League I action, Saturday
morning, GDX thwarted KB
20-6. Spurred by the great run-
ning of halfback Les Noble and
the passing of quarterback Rick
Matza, GDX jumped out to a
20-0 lead before KB could put
anything at all together. GDX
struck first blood on a 50-yard
touchdown pass from Matza to
Gary Levanthal and led 6-0.
KB was plagued by misplayed
handoffs and fumbles and thus
unable to manufacture any scor-
ing thrust,
In the second half, a long
drive by GDX consisted mostly
of short flips to Noble. The
drive was capped by Matza’s
5-yard run through a maze of
would-be tacklers, upping the
score to 13-0. Then when it
looked as though KB might get
back into the game, cornerback
Charlie Hauk, with an assist
from John Lenahan, intercepted
a pass and returned it 40 yards
to the KB three where Matza
again took the ball over for
the score making it 20-0. KB
avoided a shutout when Tom

Broadway
College students may now
buy tickets to most Broadway
shows at half-price, through a
special program of the League
of New York Theatres.
Upon the presentation of a
student I.D. card at theatre
box offices, student purchasers
may may buy a maximum of
two tickets at precisely half
the regular price. This program,
which has been in effect since
last July and which has been
encouragingly received, does not
apply to every performance of
every Broadway show, however.
But the majority of Broadway
productions, including such es-
tablished hits as “Promises, Pro-
mises,” “1776,” “Child’s Play,’
“Butterflies “Are Free’ and
“Fiddler on the Roof,’ are
offering the student discounts.
Students who wish to take ad-
vantage of the program are ad-
vised to check the individual
box offices in advance, to de-
termine where the discounts are
available.
Among the performers who appeared here last year were (clockwise from top left) Herbie Mann, John
Mayall, Dionne Warwick, and the Moody Blues. This semester will feature concerts by Eric Clapton, Miles
Davis, Sergio Mendez, Traffic, and Sealse and Croft.

Give Me Nothing (Open up the
Door I'll Get it Myself); Up-

Willie Bivens, vibes; Green, elec-
tric guitar; Clarence Palmer,
electric piano (tracks 1-4); Earl
Creque, electric piano (track 5);
Jimmy Lewis, Fender bass;
Idris Muhamad, drums.
Grant Green is one of the
best guitarists in jazz today.
His simple, bluesy approach is
easy to listen to and this along
with his keen sense of rhythm,
results in a distinctive flavor.
Green really eats up “Ease
Back,” a hard stomping blues,
and plays some hair raising
lines over tenor riffs on James
Brown’s “I Don’t.” His only
weak point is on “Cease the
Bombing,”’ a slow medium
number. His playing there
seems weak and unimaginative.
“Upshot,” a short funky blues
based theme, has a wicked
opening attack by Green which
blossoms out into some nice
slender guitar statements, and a
full, beautiful sound.
Bartee, a new-comer to the
scene, has promise, but as yet
he sticks too closely to the
changes and seems to be un-
sure of himself on such songs
as “Upshot” and ‘Kase Back.’
He is more in command on ‘I
Don’t,” his best effort on the
date.
b On”’ a
howcase
Biven’s only solo is on
“Cease” and it is dull, dull,
dull. Beware of a vibist who is
there only for tone color; they
can contribute the worst solos.
This album features almost
consistantly excellent work by
Green, and his playing alone is
more than worth the price of
the album. He should perform
in better company and with
better material. He does seem
to be inspired here, but the lis-
tener is less so. Except for
Creque’s electric piano solo,
there is nothing to do after
each Green statement, but to
wait for the next.
‘The Young Ones’
Seeks Members
“The Young Ones,’ an out-

ances.
The group is increasing its

Candidates Exchange Views
At Hyatt House Confrontation
by Bob Baldassano
At a confrontation at the
Hyatt House in Albany last
week the three Senatorial can-
didates informally debated.
Ottinger accused Goodell of in-
consistency. Goodell made it a
Point of pride that he was capable
of change. And Buckley con-
demned them both.
United by their awareness of
the growing frustrations of the
people with their government,
the candidates propounded their
individual. philosophies to a ga-
thering of the New York State
Publishers Association.
The key issue was the ability
of democracy to function. No
Panacea was offered, no lasting
remedy promulgated. But a
sense of imminent destruction
was imparted to the audience if
no solution within the system
was established. The candidates,
Senator Goodell, Rep. Ottinger
and Mr. Buckley pointed out
that Washington was somehow
responsible and in a large was
accountable for the country’s
loss of confidence in its go -
vernment,
The first speaker, Rep. Ottin-
ger, maintained that the feder-
al government’s inability to lis-
ten to the people was the
“central issue of the coming
decade.” The mood of the
country is “not reactionary,
but frustrated by unworkable
Programs.” He questioned the
role of the elected official in
creating social change. He poin-
ted out that such officials
should act as catalysts, to bring
positive reactions from the Exe-
cutive as well as to sponsor
such positive actions themselves.
The vicious cycle of welfare
must be broken, quality hous-
ing must become a reality and
the utilities and services must
raise their standards; these were
cited by the Congressman as
Positive actions. Ottinger called
Ralph Nader typical of the
men American politics must
produce if the country wished
to continue functioning.
Senator Goodell emphasized
his experience in Congress. He
pointed out that during his
terms of office as a Represen-
President’s
Conference

cerning the matter will be reached
within twenty-four hours, Benezet
stated.
Also discussed during the for-
um was the freezing of Student
Association funds by a court or-
der. The enjoining of student
funds is the result of a lawsuit
brought against SA, contesting al-
location of student funds to po-
litical groups. Student Association
President Dave Neufeld pledged
that as many student organiza-
tions as possible will continue to
operate through the use of private
contributions. He also stated that
the court’s decision will be ap-
Pealed. Final decision as to the
allocation of SA monies awaits
action by the Board of Trustees,
which is expected to meet next
week.
Questions concerning the con-
struction of the Day Care Center
and the Pass/Fail grading system
were also brought up at the meet-
ing.

tative, he was a Republican
blindly following “the negative
and sterile” approaches of his
party. As a Senator, however,
he has changed most specta-
cularly on the war issue, Dur-
ing the early sixties he said
that he espoused the philoso-
phy of Barry Goldwater and at
the end of the decade, though,
he was the first to sponsor
legislation to end the war
through unilateral _ withdrawal.
Still, whatever sentiments may
have inspired this change of
heart, Senator Goodell realizes
he has problems within the Re-
publican party. These were
sloughed off with the statement
that Goodell considers himself
no party man who voted strict
party line. Earlier in the day,
however, Rockefeller announced
that Goodell was the Repub-
lican on the ticket to stay and
he gave the senator his full
support.
Senator Goodell sees as the
cause of the domestic crisis
the endlessly prolonged conflict
in South East Asia, which has
drained off much of the mon-
ey necessary to clear the social
blight on this country.
The incumbent declared that
the federal government “sole
in rehabilitating addicts, easing
the welfare crisis and rebuilding
the cities must be more clearly
defined. It is up to the Federal
Government to take the iniative
to solve these problems and
not allow the States and locali-
ties to assume this burden,
As the standard-bearer of the
Conservative Party, Buckley cas-
tigated the philosophies of Mr.
Ottinger and Senator Goodell
as “systems of resolves that
have not worked in the past
except to bring the country to
a standstill.” He chided that
“we seem to be losing control
over our own destiny. Fur-
thermore, when a violent attack
is made upon the policies of ff
this country, we should not re-
sort to the streets to solve is-
sues.” As a note of clarification,
Buckley, before the address,
pointed out the universities are fl
chartered to educate people,
but he stated explicitly
education was entirely alien to
awareness of social priorities
and the need for social change.
Granting that there are cer-
tain problems, such as pollu-
tion, that should be handled by
the federal government | Buck-
ley remonstrated government
for promising too much and
coming through with too little.
The government should be
brought back to the localities
so that bureaucracy can be cur-
tailed. “Washington enlarges the
gulf between the voter and the
issue.’

Rights Conference
Held Here
by Mary Aun Meyer
Demands and tactics to elimi-
nate sex discrimination in the
education and employment poli-
cies of SUNY were finalized here
Saturday at the second meeting of
the Caucus on Women’s Rights.
The demands which, if met,
could ultimately affect woman’s
role in the family and saciety, had
been previously drawn up at the
first meeting held June 20 at
Syracuse University.
These demands, some of which
include the grounds for the fed-
eral complaint filed against
SUNYA, have been adopted into a
proclamation which will be pre-
sented to the university.
Saturday
The proclamation, approved
by vote of over seventy repre-
sentatives of the state system in-
cluded demands for the abolition
of sexism in all courses, the estab-
lishment of women’sstudies, equal
pay scales and benefits, one half
of all scholarships and fellowships
to be awarded to women and
various changes in employment
practices concerning hiring of hus-
bands and wives. A free 24 hour
child care center was also listed.
"The tacties used, in addition to
the federal complaint, will include

would receive unanimous student
approval.
They knew that members of
Young Americans for Freedom,
Young Republicans and other un-
organized political conservatives
such as policemen and veterans
studying on campus might stren-
uously object. It was the object-
ion of one veteran that has re-
sulted in the total freezing of all
Student Association funds.
Kenneth Stringer enlisted in
the army directly out of high
school. In 1966, while the Viet-
nam War raged, he applied for
Officers Candidate School. It was
common knowledge at that time
that all commissioned officers
would serve in Vietnam.
After Vietnam, Stringer entered
Albany State. As he pursued his
studies in history, his dislike for
mandatory tax grew. He came to
believe that the tax represented an
“expropriation of personal pro-
perty by a state institution”
which violated his property rights
as a student of this university,
In Stringer’s own self-appraisal
his motivations were both “self-
ish” and “individualistic.” He felt
that as a student who paid man-
datory tax he should have a say
in how those funds were used.
Revenues collected through the
agency of the state, that is,
through the Bursar, and made
mandatory by, the State, that is
the university, should go directly
to the state treasury, Stringer con-
tends.
Kenneth Stringer has been
around. He was born in Baltimore,
Md.. He attended high school in
Vermont, went to Vietnam and
then to Albany. He plans, more-
over, to enter law school in 1971
at the University of Chicago, Ul-
timately, he is interested in a
career as a corporation lawyer.
