‘changes in Soviet industrial organi~
zation and management policies,”
On accepting the scrbll of honor
presented to him by Hideo Tono-
mura, President of Japan's S,A.M,
and Japanese Board Chairman for
Esso, Dr, Mossin gave a talk en-
titled “The Decline of Authoritar~
fan Organization and Management
in the Soviet Union.’
Professor Mossin discussed the
transition from Marxist philoso
phies pertaining to bureaucratic
ministers and managerial powers
which are causing Soviet mana-
gerial policies to become analagous
to the Free World,
He explained that the Soviet change
1n policy was made inevitable by
the mid-century technological revo-
lution which caused the formation
of a more sophisticated technology,
economy, and work consuming popu=
lation, This, plus the fact that ac~
cording to the Soviet Economist
Abel Aganbegyan, the economic
growth rate has fallen by two thirds
in the last six years, spurred the
change.
In 1959.Soviet Economics Profes=
sor Evsey Liberman first proposed
his ideas to vest capitalistic like
managerial autonomy to individual
enterprises and tntroduce a profit
incentive and indexes which would
measure enterprise cefficiency,
He felt that this would motivate
enterprise directors by greater
freedom of management and in profit
sharing. In 1962 the Soviets tinpl
mented two experimental entei
prises along Liberman's plan and
later two hundred more,
Dr. Mossin pointed out that the
pressure of economic demoraliza-
tion and industrial chaos plus the
fact that the Russian workers are
now more educated people looking
for realization of promise in their
industrial system will not be easily
suppressed by reactionaries push-
ing for perpetuation of discredited
Marxist policies.
Dr. Mossin concluded his talk by
explaining the real significance of
the Liberman proposals. One of
these is the fact that years of Soviet
Experimentation witha bureaucratic
method of management have been, in
effect, surpassed by the Free Mar-
ket System, The second being a re=
Vealing of a ferment in the Soviet
Power structure, A reappraisal of
the tyrannical dogma has probably
marked the turning polnt of enchant
ment with Marx, Finally, the Russian
people will have an opening for free
inquiry, humane economte progress,
and advancing personal security In
Peaceful cooperation with other na-
tlons of the same values,
Dr, Mossi is also a member of
the Hudson Valley Chapter of the
Soclety for the Advancement of Man-
agement and has just returned from
a world trip, and he 1s terested
in starting a SAM in Hong Kong,

fill his speech requirement by taking
one of the following courses:

bate), Speech 9 (Public Speaking), or
Speech 16 (Group Discussion). Pr

unfulfilled speech requirements are
assigned to first or second semester

Gould of State University of New

vocation on September 14,
It is a great pleasure for me to
Join in this colorful and impressive
occasion and to add my word of
welcome to those already offered
you,
The great new campus presently
emerging as the home for the St
University at Albany is far more
than a symbol of physical growth,
It represents in a much more im-
portant way the change this institu
tion is now undergoing as it moves
toward becoming a major education-
al and research center for the Uni-
versity asa whole. Its undergraduate
concerns will now be more and
more augmented by graduate and
professional work. The splendid
record of this campus in the past
will stand it in good stead as it
Row increases and expands its
‘sponsibility, I hay
dence in the les
president, in the faculty, and in
the st ts as you all shoulder
your re of such responsibility.
T wish you all well as the academic
year begins and pledge you my
complete and enthusiastic support.
Tonight I should like to talk about
something that reaches to the heart
of your reasons for being here, I
should like you to consider with me
the intellectual life of this campus
community and what we hope it will
bring about both for yourselves and
for the institution you cherish,
Of course, it is a dangerous un-
dertaking these days to discuss in-
tellectual life at all, As a nation
we show too many signs of placing
{ntellectualism and subversiveness
hand in hi It seems impossible
lo convince ‘some people (all too
many people) that one can love his
country deeply, be proud of .ts his-
tory and achievements, be ready to
give his life for it, and still be
critical when it falls short of its
{deals or its promise, There seems
to be some mysterious comfort for
us to keep repeating to ourselves
\tke Candide that we are the gré
best of all possible world:
‘Yet in our hearts we know that
we must give our very life blood,
if necessary, to protect the com-
Pleteness of the freedom by which
versity flourishes and achieves
excellence. And we know, also, that
must think carefully about the
elements of freedom and how we
use those elements, lest we find
ourselves guilty of equating free-
dom witty irresponsibility. and thus
indulging ourselves and encouraging
others in license,
We cannot emphasize too often
these days the necessity for com-
plete and absolute academic free
dom for the scholar and a similar
sense of freedom for the lay citi-
zen, We live in a time when the
clash of ideologies has shaken the
foundations of our constitutional be
Uefs insisted upon and defended so
fiercely by Jefferson and his con~
temporaries as well as by many
decade has brought forth crise
challenge these beliefs, that tempt
Us, perhaps in the interests of tem=
Porary peace of mind, to relinguish
@ small portion of our freedom to
believe or to discuss or to explore,
Ultra-liberals and archereaction-
aries, alike, representing opposite
poles of political and social philos
ophy, steadily test our willingness
to adhere to the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Bill of Rights, It does
not matter that some aspects of the
Philosophies of these people may
be repugnant to us as individuals,
Under such circumstances we can-
not afford to forget that the dental
of this freedom to any person ulti
mately threatens the freedom of
all of us, If we believe in excel-
lence, we cannot and must not per-
mit any corrosion of the spirit of
inguiry as a value in the free world
and most particularly in America,
‘The fact that as students you are
faced now with the ever-present
danger of becoming intellectuals,
should cause us to take some no-
tice of why we bother to fight for
the continued existence of educa-
Uonal institutions in this country
in view of the sinister reputations
we are prone to acquit, It is to
simultaneously matures
stitution,
To put the matter simply and
frankly in regard to the first ques-
tion, we are concerned about the
existence of the university because
it 1s-the major bastion against ig-
norance and the wellspring of ideas
by which civilization progresses,
In a democratic society
committed to the bel
xplorations and that
the shadow of thought control should
never touch it. Adherence to this !
principle is the best guarantee we
have of the preservation and nurture
of our democratie ideals,

eral arts and humanities, achieve
fruition through a dynamic perpet~
uation of the classical tradition
and through the firm retention of
those aspects of learning that are
linked to the {dentification and
strengthening of humane values, The
timely elements reflect the impact:

Poor Planning
A time of transition is, in theory, a
time of planning. Unfortunately this is
ngt always the same, The library is an
example of good planning. The change
over to the Library of Congress system
of cataloging books comes at a good
time. To wait until we are on the new
campus would be to compound the job
and the confusion.
The move of Financial Aids from
Draper to the Air Force ROTC is an
example of bungling.
The situation of their new offices is
remote from this campus and especially
remote from the people who need their
services the most, The average person
needing financial aid is less likely to
have a car than an average student.
The reason or reasons for the move
are, no doubt, the usual series of gen-
eralizations, We would like to hear an
excuse for the debacle from whoever
let this happen,
Sales Tax
If there is one issue that will domin-
ate the November election, it will be
the popularity of the new state sales tax,
This tax is obviously the result of a
deal between New York City's outgoing
mayor and New York’s ever-smiling,
still blintz~eating, governor.
The sales tax is wildly inconsistent.
Text books, as we now know, are tax-
able; while magazines are not, No in=
dustry is satisfied with the definition of
taxable consumable supplies and the def-
inition of non-taxable construction or
improvement materials. There are many
other examples,
We feel the greatest injustice is being
done to the person collecting and billing
the tax, Every merchant dealing with
taxable goods is now a New York State
tax collector, Each must spend countless
hours working for Nelson A. Rockefeller
without the benefit of the minimum wage.
The State itself is unsure as to what it
means by taxable and non-taxable items,
The State Tax Department cannot answer
many of the questions it is being asked.
The ASP would like to know if we have
to bill our advertisers with the sales tax
included,
We were exempt from the federal ex-
cise tax because we were considered an
educational institution, Whether the state
will let us continue in this status is still
up in the air,
We'd like to find out, It may mean a
major change in our budget if we must
charge the tax. If we end up having to
pay the tax, things could change radically,
We are not the only organization which
is unsure of its status regarding the tax,
Business in Albany and the rest of the
state often find themselves in the posi-
tion we are in,
We feel that since the state has been
uflable to do a competent job of extend-
ing this tax the state should adopt a meth-
od of taxation which it can handle, with-
out drafting every merchant into a spe~
cial army of Rocky's tax collectors,

Mohawk River Property to Serve
As University Recreational Area
Many students traveling north.on Route 87, the Northway, may have noticed a
large conspicuous Thruway Motor Inn, Quality Courts sign on the left side of the
road about .2 of a mile after the Crescent Bridge, This billboard is constructed on
a piece of the seventy acres of land which the Faculty-Student Association, Inc,
purchased last semester. Saturday morning Hollis Blodgett, assistant director of
student affairs, accompanied by this reporter andan ASP photograph left Brubacher
Hall to visit this future
recreational area, He got
on the Northway heading
toward Saratoga. After a
short ride of approximately
fifteen minutes, he turned off at
the Town of Crescent exit onto
Crescent Road. Turning right he
proceeded along Crescent Road to
the first crossroad in the Town of
Crescent and turned right again,
Continuing until the end of this
road he turned right onto River
Road, crossed over the Northway
and arrived at 1831 River Road,

Our land borders on the North.
way for about a half of a mile. A
few acres are situated on the right
side of River Road, but the major
expanse of land is on the left,
The vibrating sounds of carpen-
sal work were heard as the
‘ed the driveway. The workmen
under the supervision of Russell
Bedford, superintendent of bufldings
and grounds, were busy replacing
Sections of ‘the farmhouse root,
Once the work on the roof 1s
finished, intertor work can begin,
According to Mr. Blodgett, the farm=
house will include a student lounge
and snack bar. The room proposed
fas the student lounge has one brick
wall with a set-in fire place —
perfect for cold winter nights.
On the other side of the house ts
the proposed sight of the snack bar,
The Faculty-Student Organization,
Food Service, will probably be in
charge of this, Behind the kitchen
is a large storage room which has
to be completely overhauled because
most of the flooring and parts of the
walls are worn and rotten,
Also leading off of the kitchen
1s an outside patio bordered by a
petunia flower garden, Standing out
side on the patio and avolding the
workmen, he was able to look across
the field towards the , the
Thruway Motor Inn billboard, and
the inlet of the Mohawk River,
This large field, formerly a hay
meadow, sloped down to the lake
or ‘lagoon’? as Mr, ilodgett named
it, State students working at the
area this summer have cleared
away the hay and kept the fleld
looking Itke a lawn,
‘The banks along the water were
also cleared and several stone flre~
places were constructed, Many other
fireplaces were built In other loca~
tions within the Seventy acres for
future use as plenle groves,
While Mr. Blodgett walked along
the shore he saw several kinds of
wildiife, A small flock of ducks
took off in fight after he acct
dently discovered and roused them
from their resting place, Birds,
fish, and muskrats seemed in abun-
dance, too.
The only animal he actually came
tn contact with was one frog who
lucklessly hopped in front of his
path, ‘This reporter tried unsuc=
cessfully to catch it, so Mr. Blod~
gett did the honors, Carrying it
about for several minutes, Mr.
Blodgett finally decided to return ti
to its natural habitat,
Before returning to the car to
drive to the other side of the pro
perty, he stopped to admire the large
red barn and beautiful apple orchard
next (0 the house. Next, Mr. Blodgett
drove around to the entrance of the
inlet.
‘The old Barge Canal which passed
along this route makes an excellent
trail on this part of the land, Pos-
sible plente areas were cleared out
along here this summer, Mr, Blod-
gott explained that in the seventy
acges there would be several pienic
sites joined by a trall,
‘Whe lake bordering the new land
is being cleared of watercress,
‘The State has been working on a
five year program to eradicate
watercress from the Mohawk River,
When the lake is clear, swimming,
boating and fishing could be pos=
sible. Also, once travel to the small
island, 1s possible, recreational fe
cilitiés could be established there,
Other suggestions tossed around
for recreational use of the available
land were a golf range, beginners
ski slope, hiking or riding trails,
and a soft ball area, The opportun-
ity for extensive recreational fa-
cllities is equally balanced by the
possiblities for academic pro=

‘The proximity of the area offers

While thts acreage has unlimited
possibilities there still remains
much work to be completed.
Unfortunately, groups will not be
able to use the’ area until adequate
nd proper sanitation faciiities hav
been installed, .
MR, BLODGETT SUGGESTED that this room might be suitable
as a student lounge. This end wall is made of red brick with a
built-in fireplace,
go.a long way in determining the general
fall aports picture at Albany this year. These events
are the first varsity soccer and cross-country en-
counters and the kickoff of the AMIA football program,
© The soccer and cross-country teams are suffering
badly from’ lack of seasoned competitors, Both squads
will be relying largely upon relatively untried per-
sonnel and that alone is enough to make any predic-
tion completely hypothetical. Coaches Munsey and
Garcia are well aware of the task they face, and both
have been trying for weeks now to establish the best
possible lineups they can compete with tomorrow.
The competence of the coaches and the spirit of the
players are there; but being pessimistic by nature,
all we can do is wish the two teams the best of luck,
The soccer game is home,\on Vets Field, at 2:00. A
large turnout never hurt arly team, but it would be
interesting to see if it would at Albany--catch?!
On Monday, September 27, the AMIA football season
is slated to begin, With cautious optimism and re-
served high hopes, we look forward to seeing the
league swing into what we believe can be its finest
season in a number of years,
Eight teams are entered in the “big league’? —
with the five Albany fraternities each entering a
team. There are two dormitory teams and one inde-
pendent squad. Early reports indicate that each team
has had a large turnout, and the enthusiasm felt in
conversations about the upcoming season is unparalle¢
in recent years,
Eight teams, all five fraternities, large turnouts,
unmatched enthusiasm--almost too good to be true!
Seriously, the pre-season indications all point toward
a highly successful and very rewarding season for the
AMIA football league, and no organization deserves it
more, It is our sincere hope that the officers selected
in the AMIA election next Wednesday will take full
advantage of the participants’ exuberance, willingness,
and cooperation to effect an efficiently run and well
coordinated season, One such successful season could
lead to a successful year,
which indeed would be an
asset to State’s athletic department,
