Collins Discusses
Draft Effects
On Grad Schools

by Don Stankavage

President Evan R, Collins dis-
cussed the new draft policy and
its effect on the University grad-
uate program as well as several
activities of the Faculty Senate.

He expressed the belief that the
University’s graduate school en-
rollment, in spite of the new se-
lective service regulations,
should increase 10 per cent over
this year due to the addition of
new schools and the extension of
existing programs,

However, President Collins al-
so stated that this 10 per centin-
crease would still be a reduction
from the usual 30 to 40 per cent
growth experienced in previous
years. Said President Collins,
concerning the abolition of grad-
uate deferments and its effect
on educational institutions, ‘T
think we’re heading toward a sit-
uation which is clearly impos-
sible.’?

President Collins also com-
mented on the recommendation of
the Executive Committee of the
Faculty Senate to its membersto
institute an Ad Hoc Faculty Com-
mittee on Teaching in order to
emphasize the importance of
teaching and to explore ways to
improve teaching in the Univer-
sity. The Faculty Committee has
also asked Central Council toes-
tablish a parallel student com-
mission to work with the faculty,

The Faculty Council on Pro-
motion and Continuing Appoint-
ment has distributed to the facul-
ty a criteria for advancement
and tenure. Three specific cate-
gories were stressed as basic
attributes of the capable college
level instructor. They are schol-
arship, teaching ability and serv-
ice to the University.

Dr. Webb Fiser, Vice Presi-
dent of Academic Affairs,
has asked to return to his con-
tinuing appointment in the Politi-
cal Science Department, He wish-
es to reassert himself in his ori-
ginal professional field,

President Collins expects a
successor to Fiser tobe confirm-
ed within a month, The President
declined to name the potential
candidate.

Open Door Policy
Still Under Study

A drive to allow closed doors
during open houses hit a snag
when it was found that no one
had been assigned the responsi-
bility for the conductof residents
if the proposed policy ig imple-
mented.

The closed door bill was sent
to the Council of Student Resi-
dences, which is under Faculty
Senate, after being passed by
Living Area Affairs Committee
(LAAC), Council of Student Resi-
dences tabled the bill until LAAC
could fix the responsibility of the
new policy.

It is expected that LAAC will
come up with a statement that
will charge the individual student
with insuring that the rules of
conduct are followed. In all likeli-
hood Residence Assistants or
staff will not be obliged to check
rooms during open houses.

After LAAC has amended the
bill then the Council will be ready
to act on the bill. The bill will
not become policy until it has
been approved by higher bodies,

PEOPLE LEAVING ALBAN

Y County Police sCourt after

the first day of the Dow demonstrators trial. The court decided

to try each defendant separately.

Grant Individual Trials

To Dow De

by Tim Keeley

When the court convened Mon-
day morning, March 18 for the
ten defendants arrested at the
Dow demonstration, the D.A. Wil-
liam Gray moved that separate
trials be held. The case was ori-
ginally intended to be a mass
trial of the ten defendants against
the people of the State of New
York.

Consequently, the case of
James Whitney versus the People
of the State of New York in the
Police Court of Albany County
was begun.

This case is the firstinachain
of cases that will be presented
before the magistrate of the court
in the coming weeks.

James Whitney, along with nine
other defendants, was arrested
for disorderly conduct in con-
nection with the Dow demonstra-
tion of February 21,

The attorney for the defense is
Jonathan Harvey, a local attorn-
ey, who graduated from the law
school at Union University.

Representing the people of the
State of New York is the Albany
County D,A, William Gray. Pre-
siding over Monday’s court was
the honorable Michael V, Tepe-
dino.

The trial began at 12:40, at
which time a motion was made
and granted that the court adjourn
for lunch until 1:30,

The case reconvened at 1:55,
Harvey began by making a motion
that the case be dismissed be-
cause of the statement of a Uni-
versity security officer who “is
not a peace officer in means of
the penal code as it relates to
this case.’’

To prove his point, the defense
called Chief James J, Connally
of the security police to the wit-
ness stand.

At this point Harvey moved
that all witnesses, except the de-
fendant, be asked to leave the
court room. Among those asked
to leave was Clifton B, Thorne,
vice-president for student af-
fairs. Thorne had been subpoen-
aed by the defense.

Gray proceeded to examine
Connally asking information
about the physical aspects of the
scene of the arrest, until 3:05,

At one point Connally referred

endants

to the demonstrators as protes-
tors. This prompted Harvey to ob-
ject to the use of the word ‘pro-
testors.’

Harvey explained, ‘‘We are not
trying a movement or a concept
but an individual — James Whit-
ney.”

Connally revealed that Dr.M.C.
Olson told him that the Univer-
sity police should take action.
And that the Albany police would
be called. This happened around
four o’clock on the day of the
demonstration.

The D.A. then asked Connally
if he saw Whitney at the demon-

Council Approves

CC, CPC Budgets

by Vic Looper

Central Council approved all
budgets for Communications
Commission and all except three
of Community Programming
Commission’s and commended
the Election Commission for
“the best elections ever’? at its
marathon 41 hour meeting,
Thursday, Mary 14, All other
budgets were considered yester-
day.

According to most observers,
the budget meetings are one of
the most important of the year.
It is at these meetings that the
future plans of the Student As-
sociation and the amount of mon-
ey needed to enact these plans
are unveiled, considered, weigh-
ed and decided upon, The budgets
which were passed will be for
the fiscal year July 1, 1968 to
July 1, 1969.

Council has so far budgeted
approximately $138,000 for Com~
munity Programming Commis-
sion (CPC) and, $73,000 for Com~
munications Commission (CC)
for a $211,000 total.

Council actual appropriations
totaled $86,000, $61,000 and
$147,000 respectively. The dif-
ference between the total budget
and appropriation will be made
up by income lines of $52,000,
$12,000 and $64,000 respective.

Bs The $147,000 appropriation fte-
ure for the two Commissions
compares with a total appropria-
tion for all Student Association
(SA) groups of $152,000 for the
present fiscal year, ’67-68,

All the above and following
facts and figures are based on
the original budgets as passed
by Council last year and do not
reflect any additional appropria-
tions or newly budgeted groups,
Unless otherwise stated, the
term budget will be defined as

CONGRESSMAN DADDARIO (left) confers with President
Collins (right) after his speech on ‘‘Science Policy and the
Hidden War’ to inaugurate the center for Science and Future

of Human Affairs.

Most budgets were increased
to help cover the rising cost
of printing, photos, supplies,
provide for more copies and to
provide for new, increased and
better programming,

A few budgets were decreas-
ed due to higher income lines
and the fact that they may have
bought the major equipment that
they needed under their *67-’68
budgets. The largest increase in
the C.C, budget was WSUA, an
increase of $9,068.70, from $6,-
683 to $15,751.70; the largest
increase in CPC was CPC itself
of $9,866 from $2,000 to $11,866.

The reason for the large in-
crease in WSUA’s budget was
that they will be making major
engineering changes and willalso
add State Quad to their listening
audience, CPC’s budget was in-
creased because it now encom-
Passes recreational andarts con-

One of the most noticeable
facts in this year’s budgets was
the large number of riders which
were attached. Seven riders were
attached to approved budgets, two
were for one budget, one was
added and one was removed,
Dramatics Council’s budget
which was tabled until after the

has, “could be of immense worth
— particularly in the role of alert-
ing this generation as well as
succeeding ones to both the values
and dangers of applied science.’*

Daddario discussed the bless-
ings that technology has given to
us and also the many evils that
spring from this development
of technology. He statedthat along
with the great advances in food
production, in medicine, and in
communications, come increased
population, increased numbers
of obsolete workers and increas-
ed amounts of air and water pol-
lution.

He continued by commenting
that many times technological de-
velopments are pursued “largely
because we know how, and be-
cause others are doing it and we
feel we must compete for a mul-
titude of reasons,’”’

Daddario then commented on
“the hidden war’ as being a war
of ignorance, Withthe technologi-
cal developments we “need to
find out how, why, and what we
—humans — are doing to the na-
tural rhythms of earth and to the
life and environment upon it.’
The Congressman continued by
using the example of nuclear pow-
er plants. These power plants

power, but they also “discharge

Chairinan Reese
Of Philosophy
Has New Plans

by Herb Greenblatt

Dr. William L, Reese has be-
come the new chairman of the
Philosophy Department. Reese
came to Albany from the Uni-
versity of Delaware, where he
headed the Philosophy Depart-
ment, :

Reese has dreams as well as
plans for the Philosophy Depart-
ment, ‘What a department be-
comes depends upon everybody
in the department,” according
to Reese,

As for a projected doctoral
program in philosophy, Reese
says: ‘Dr. Creegan (former head
of the department) has done
most of the work. I think Cree-
gan has done very well by us;
the question is will we do well
by him,’?

One of Reese’s dreams for
the University is a center for
interdisciplinary study. The
Princeton Institute for Advanced
Studies and the Wesleyan Insti-
tute of Advanced Humanities are
cited by Reese for their achieve-
ments, however, he pointed out
that ‘they are essentially out-

side the structure of curri-
culum,??
Reese feels that a center

‘should have on-going seminars.
The center would serve as host
to ‘various people from vari.
ous parts of the world,’ and
‘pring together people in the
forefront of their communica-
tions,””

In the words of Reese: ‘We
have to put philosophy where the
action is, The problem is how
to do that. In some of the de-
cades of this century, philoso-
phy has painted itself into a cor-
ner, The question is how you
define the role of philosophy.”

Reese believes that ‘in addi-

tion to the standard people, (ex-
perts in ethics, epistemology,
etc.,) there should be interdis-
ciplinary personnel,””
Reese feels that the philosopher-
phsychist, philosopher - human-
ist, and philosopher - social sci-
entist will be a replacement for
the inert, book-bound system.”
Reese terms his concept of
philosophy as ‘responsible gen-
eralization,’?

On a Ford Foundation fellow-
ship last year, Reese toured
Sovth America, ‘interviewing ex-
perts in various fields at the
rate of 25-30 people per week.
Reese contends that the Latin
Americans follow a French hu-
manistic tradition that is alien
to U.S, culture, Oné course that
will be added next year is Latin
American philosophy.

Reese foresees an integration
of philosophy with social science
with our graduate schools of so-
cial welfare, criminal justice,
and public affairs, He cites
Clark Kerr’s contention that ‘an
attempt to investigate the inter-
faces of knowledge will ‘make
more of a university out of the
multiversity,””

Reese thinks that despite the

achievements of schools such
as Harvard and Yale, such
schools dominate studies with

“vested interests.” Reese cites
the declaration of Chancellor
Gould: “We are limited only
by the fertility of our imagina-
tion.’?

Whitney Signs Oath,

Continues To Teach

Professor James N, Whitney
of the University Math Depart-
ment signed the oath of office re-
quired of allstate employees Fri-
day morning when it was present-
ed to him by Vincent Cowling,
chairman of the department of
mathematics.

He had been removed from the
University payroll because he
had refused to sign the ‘loyalty
oath?? when asked previously.

Whitney, stating his reason for
signing the oath at this time, in-
dicated that ‘‘this issue is less
important than others.’? Furth-
er, he stated that by staying at
the University as a professor he
would ‘be in a better position
to carry out activities against
the (Vietnam) war and against
circumstances which would per-
mit this kind of a war.’”

The fact that he has ‘fa source
of income” and, in addition, ‘free
time to devote’ to his activities
Whitney mentioned as other ad-
vantages of his position as apro-
fessor.

Whitney had stated, in a letter
to Dr. Eugene McLaren, chair-
man of the division of science
and mathematics, dated February
23, 1968, ‘*The circumstances
in which I am being asked to
sign the oath show clearly its use
as an instrument of political in-
timidation.

“T was not asked to sign the
oath when I was hired presum-
ably because by a clerical error
it was not sent to me,’?

Pelton Discusses Functions

Of End War Committee

by Linda Staszak

Dr. Leroy Pelton of the Psy-
chology department at the Uni-
versity spoke at a recent meet-
ing of the Faculty Committee to
End the War in Vietnam, The
lecture was concerned main-
ly with the Teachers’ Draft Coun-
seling Committee of which Pel-
ton is a member,

‘The committee is made up of
approximately 90 members,
about one-third of whom are coun-
selors, The rest are supporting
members,

According to Pelton the com-
mittee has two functions, First,
it gives out information about all
possible alternatives to the draft
and second, it acts as a sound-
ing board to help the student
organize his beliefs about the
draft,

The committee does not en-
courage ‘students to do one thing
or another, It feels that the stu-
dents must come to their own
decisions,

Pelton also discussed the vari-
ous alternatives to the draft,
The first one is to be declared
a conscientious objector, In or-
der to gain conscientious objec-
tor status a person should be
against all war not only the Viet-
nam war, ‘‘The important thing
is to have a consistent set of
beliefs.”

Pelton feels that one of the
Possible outcomes of the com-
mittee will be to make conscien-
tious objection respectable which
is important since “everybody
needs some kind of social sup-
port.??

The second alternative that
Pelton mentioned was immigra-
tion to Canada, A person can-
not be extradited once he gets
to Canada but Pelton stated, “As
far as I can see there’s no hope
of ever coming back.”?

Another alternative which he
mentioned is a five year jail

30 per cent more waste neat...
than conventional plants.” Be-
cause of this, large fresh water
areas might be used for nuclear
cooling, but, Daddario stressed,
no one knows what the ecological
results will be. There were many
similar examples given and all
lacked information of the results
that might be produced.

Daddario reaffirmed his be-
lief that promotion of immediate
research in all fields of ecology
is necessary “to any future life
of quality.’”

To help with these problems,
Daddario commented on how col-
leges and universities can help.
He suggested that centers such
as the one at this university could
help by alerting the public to the
many threats that technological
development brings.

Secondly, with “competence in
technology and public affairs,”
the answers, that are developed
to solve some of the problems re-
sulting from technological ad-
vancement, should be put forth
with vigor. The answers result-
ing from the study of the prob-
lems should not just be talked
about, but acted upon.

A third way, Daddario contin-
ued, is by having the universi-
ties “take the lead or help...
in the development of a theoreti-
eal ecology, The situation is such
that this type of discipline is de-
finitely needed.’?

The final way that Daddario
states as a possible way that uni-
versities may help with the prob-
lems of technology, is bya change
in “the techniques of learning and
in attitudes towards it.” Learn-
ing, Daddario stresses, must be-
come important to people andnot
just a necessary thing to do to
be able to earn more money. Peo-
ple must begin to see that learn-
ing about technology and its even-
tual effects can make this world,
a world of quality.

These suggestions may seem
next to impossible to accomplish,
but, Daddario stresses, these
solutions are necessary. Many of
the troubles in today’s world are
a direct result from ‘‘our tech-
nological brand of materialism.”
Along with the universities, Con-
gress is alsotrying to solve some
of the threats of ‘‘the hidden
war.’’ Daddario stated that many
congressmen are becoming more
and more aware of thecritical na-
ture of the problems resulting
from the advancement of technol-
ogy.

said that strong efforts are being
put forth ‘‘to develop new meth-
ods of assessing technology, and
particularly a capability within
the Congress to gauge correctly

port for applied science.””

Daddario concluded his lecture
using a quote from Roger Revelle
which summed up the congress-
men’s feeling on the subject of
“the hidden war.’’ It was, “Our
goal should be not to conquer
the natural world but to live in

Socialist Party Candidate

Speaks On Vietnam War

by Vic Looper
Staff Reporter

Fred Halstead, the Socialist
Workers Party Presidential can-
didate, who spoke at the Univer-
sity Sunday, March 17 stated that
the reason for our involvement
in the Vietnam War according to
the Administration was that ifwe
don’t stop them there we will
have to stop them here and the
Tonkin Resolution,

He stated that the first argu-
ment has been rejected by a
large number of people including
some Generals. He questioned
this argument by asking who could
we fight,

Halstead said that we would
obviously not fight the Viet-
namese, or the Chinese because
there are no Chinese troops any-
where outside of China. This is
in definite contrast to the United
States which has troops all over
the world.

‘Arguing that fighting the Com-
munists was the problem accord-
ing to the myth perpetrated by the
administration Halstead declared
that this argument is ridiculous
because the Communists are a
race and not an ideology.

He believed that the second
argument advanced about the Ton-
kin Resolution had a ‘ring of
truth.’? He said that the reason
the Tonkin Resolution was pass-
ed was because it was supposed-
ly vital to the American interests
to maintain stability in South
East Asia.

Halstead stated that the cause
of the war was U.S, imperialism.
He criticized U.S. corporations
for exploiting the countries that
it enters so that a few large
American corporations can make
money.

This to him was the prime
reason for our involvement in
Vietnam. He believed that it was
not worth it for 20,000 men to
get killed so that a few people

Fiser Resigns,

Resume Teaching

President Evan R. Collins has
announced the resignation of Dr.
Webb S, Fiser, vice president for
academic affairs, effective
September 1. Fiser, a professor
of political science who has been
serving in his present capacity
since 1965, plans to return to
teaching and research.

Fiser said that at the time he
accepted the position of vice
president for academic affairs at
the University he indicated to
President Collins that he had
some unfinished academic work.
It was understood that a request
to resume teaching and research
in his professional field was a
possibility. He is on the faculty
of the Graduate School of Public
Affairs.

In commenting on his decision,
Fiser said, ‘I have greatly enjoy-
ed my term of office as vice
president for academic affairs.
Working with the Albany faculty
and administration has been a
genuine pleasure; however, I have
not had much contact with stu-
dents. I look forward torectifying
that situation in my new role.’?

Prior to coming to the Univer-
sity, Fiser taught at Syracuse

B.C, and also has Mycenaean,

ers which are reported to hold
much promise.

The Director of Antiquities in
Israel has given his permission
for the excavation, and Israeli
counterpart funds have been
assigned to the project by acom-
mittee of the Smithsonian In-
stitute in Washington, D.C.

Plans have been completed by
Professor Mary Goggin, chair-
man of the Classics Department,
and Professor John Overbeck to
go to Israel in late May for pre-
liminary digging andalsoto make
preparations for more extensive
excavations in the summer of

could get rich by selling war
materials and by exploiting the
raw materials of the country.

Halstead also states his views
on the amount of social protest
in the country as compared to
former times. He stated that
there is more social protest than
ever before.

The two reasons for this were
the depth of opposition by the
leaders of the country such as
Sen, Wayne Morse, William Ful-
bright and Eugene McCarthy. He
seriously doubts the sincerity of
Sen. Robert Kennedy due to his
actions taken during the Me-
Carthy era.

Halstead and his running mate
Paul Boutelle are the only can-
didates to call for a unilateral

withdrawal from Vietnam and
that fully support the Black Power
movement.

The other reason was that
since they could not agree among
themselves about the war, they
could not agree on how toweaken
the strength of the anti-war dis-
senters.

The audience of about 50 were
urged not to take their protests
off the streets into the Demo-
cratic party where they would be
controlled and co-opted.

Halstead urged a large vote for
him on the upcoming Choice ’68
college primary and a large vote
against the war on the referen-
dum. Halstead was given astand-
ing ovation by about half the
crowd.

Council Approves Budgets

(Continued from Page 1)

Revue. The one that was removed
by Council vote involved the
spending of SA money for a De-
bate coach.

In the Dramatics Council bud-
get there were riders stating
that SA members must be able
to purchase tickets at least three
days in advance of the general
ticket sales, that no season tick-
ets may be sold and that there
will be strict enforcement of
the Student Tax Policy due to
prior infractions.

The riders were put on for
various reasons of prior viola-
tion of policies and exploratory
moves to seek information, If
these riders are not followed,
Finance Committee can revoke
an organizations budget, as de-
cided by Council at a previous
session.

The meeting which started at
7:30 lasted until 12:10, Members
of various organizations were in
attendance to defend their bud-
gets, especially if they had ask-
ed for large increases,

The debate was marked by a
great deal of cross questioning
of the budgets to ascertain the
meaning of various terms, the
reasons for appropriation of spe-
cific funds and motions to in-
crease or decrease various lines
in presented budgets. There were
four motions made that increas-
ed the total budget amounts and
one that decreased ‘the amount.

Council also had a short dis-
cussion about the Arab Club bud-
get, State Fair and Campus Car-
nival, (these évents are current-

ly non-budgeted).
An amendment to eliminate All-

University Reception’s (Talent
Show) income line was defeat.
ed, after the measure was strong-
ly opposed by Student Tax Com-
mittee.

Traditionally, the Reception
has been free for both SA and
non-SA members, The members
of the Tax Committee felt that
there should be a price levied
for non-SA members, Maintain.
ing the income line will force
Reception to levy such a non-
SA price.

The budget process is a long
process which begins about De-
cember and involves a number
of levels of SA,

presented to the Special Events
Board by the Executive Commit-
tee. The Board then passed it
and forwarded it with approval
to CPC,

The Commission held hearings
on the budget at which time mem~-
bers of the Board were asked
to appear and defend the amount
of the proposed appropriation. Af-
ter Commission hearings, the
budget was then sent to Budget
Committee where it was further
debated and scrutinized, Board
members also appear and testify
at these hearings and the Com-
mission representative gives his
support to the budget.

After these intensive hear-
ings, the budget is sent to Cen-
tral Council for its final vote.
By this time the budget may
have been increased from what
was originally asked for but it has
usually been decreased.

Council usually passes most
budgets as presented without ad-
ditions or subtractions. The num-
ber of levels a budget has topass
through depends on the structure
of the particular Commisssion
and its lower boards if any.

10Members Of HouseSubcommitiee

Ask For Changes In Draft Law

WASHINGTON (CPS) — Ten
members of the House Special
Education Subcommittee have
asked President Johnson and Sec-
retary of Defense Clark Clifford
to take steps to lighten the im-
pact of the loss of draft defer-
ments on graduate students.

‘The group made no specific
proposal but asked for ‘fa sys-
tem of selection which will dis-
tribute the burden equitably
among all avajlable men in the
eligible manpower pool.’”’ How-
ever, Chairman Edith Green (D-
Ore.) and several other members
of the subcommittee, have gen-
erally favored a plan that would
make 19-year-olds the prime age
group, along with college grad-
uates.

Under the present regulations,
almost all draftees after June
will be college graduates.

The subcommittee also sent
a copy of the resolution to Chair-
man L, Mendel Rivers of the
House Armed Services Com-
mittee, who had earlier made the
same proposal in a letter to
Selective Service Director Lew-
is Hershey.

In the petition the subcom-
mittee noted especially the im-
pact of the loss of deferments
on higher education, The sub-
committee became involved in
the draft question when it was
considering a group of federal
programs to aid graduate schools
and students,

The subcommittee had also
considered calling Secretary
Clifford to testify on the draft
problem, but apparently decided
against it.

The resolution was approved
by all ten of the 15 subcommit-
tee members who attended an
executive session on Tuesday.
They include six Democrats and
four Republicans.

Besides Mrs. Green, Demo
crats who signed the petition
included Frank Thompson

(N.J.), John Brademas (Ind.), Wil-
liam Hathaway (Me.), James
Scheuer (N.Y.), and Hugh Carey
(N.Y.). Republicans included Al-
bert Quie (Minn.), Ogden Reid
(N.Y.), Marvin Esch (Mich.), and
John Erlenborn (Iil.).

The Senate Armed Services
Committee passed a bill that
would have left much of the re-

form to the discretion of the
President. However, the House
Armed Services Committee
changed the Senate-passed bill,
adding many restrictive provi-
sions. The most significant re-
striction prohibited random se-
lection, although it gave the Pres-
ident power to designatea ‘prime
age-group” for the drafts

Rabinowitch Introduces
New Center For Science

Given the task ofdescribing the
general characteristics of the
Scientific Revolution, Dr. Eugene
Robinowitch, speaking at a con-
ference Monday morning at the
Thruway Motor Inn discussed the
revolution in relation to man and
society.

We are, he indicated, in the
midst of numerous crisis (war,
poverty) and everyone is concern-
ed with the immediate events,
and not inclined tothink creative.
ly of the society that will emerge
from these crisis.

Feeling that everything will be
all right if the war ends and
poverty in the cities is solved is
not enough. Finding a way of
ending all wars, and the injustice
of poverty within plenty as
aspects of our society is the
primary concern.

A stable and permanent peace
involving all mankind in a
common advance toward a more
worthwhile existence without the
division of the rich elite and the
poor masses is an essential goal.

Along with the evolution of ris-
ing expectations, said Rabino-
witch, revolutionary methods of
communication have developed.
Because of the realizations of
other modes of living brought out
through communications, the
modern man, so exposed to other
cultures, cannot return to his
isolated life forgetting the other
way.

Questioning the effect of fitting
the American social and scienti-
fic technology to traditional
forms of American existence,
Rabinowitch suggested that more

could be accomplished by ques-
tioning how the framework of our

society can be fitted to the
Scientific Revolution, how to re-
form and revise national and
international life to make them
fit in with the Revolution.

This reformation, he indicated,
is necessary to prevent us from
being swept aside by the technical
revolution.

The revolution in science has,
said Rabinowitch, brought abouta
change in the consciousness of
mankind; ithas changed the status

of man in the universe and in
man’s attitude toward himself.

Man has always thought of him-
self as holding the central posi-
tion in the universe despite con-
formation of the Copernican
theory. The idea is that beginning
to permeate human conscious-
ness now is that man is only a
very small part of this universe.

This general philosophical
change in man’s view of himself
and society is an essential aid in
tackling the problems that arise
with the Scientific Revolution.

Dr. Klempner Author,
Book Result Of Study

Dr. Irving M. Klempnex, asso-
ciate professor, School of Li-
brary Science at the University,
is the author of a book just pub-
lished by The Scarecrow Press,
Metuchen, New Jersey. The
volume, ‘*Diffusion of Abstract.
ing and Indexing Services for
Government - Sponsored Re-
search,”’? assists in the assess-
ment of the role played by the
federal government in dis-
seminating information about
government-sponsored research.

Klempner’s work is the result
of a study conducted whilehe was
at Columbia University, The
volume analyzes the effect for
scientific and technical informa-
tion on national economics and
corporate enterprises.

Before joining the faculty at
the University last September,

Klempner was manager of in-
formation services at United Nu-
clear Corporation, Elmsford. He
holds degrees from Brooklyn Col-
lege and Columbia University
where he received his doctorate
in library science.

Klempner’s study is based on
data assembled for the total U.S.
recipient population, including
detailed questionnaire responses
from a representative sample of
over 800 recipients of the serv-
ices.

Current U.S. information dis-
tribution policies are reviewed
and recommendations are made
in light of the research findings.
A related study is made of the
production and distribution of
abstracting and indexing serv-
ices in the U.S.S.R. andanumber
of Soviet block countries.

HEADED

“DRAMATIC REVOLUTION”

FEDERAL SCHOOL REPORT says: The Phila-

delphia public schools are engaged in “the most dramatic

revolution in a city school system in the post-war period.”
Reform in Philadelphia is “more widespread and far-reaching
than in any large school system in the country.”

DR. MARK R. SHEDD, new Superintendent of Schools, says:

“| will continue to support teachers who are able to examine, in a
mature way, the gut issues of our day—war, sex, race, drugs, poverty.
If we divorce school subjects from the guts and hopes of human beings,

we can expect students to find them gutless and hopeless.”

RICHARDSON DILWORTH, President of the Board of Education,
says: “The city is where the action is. It’s where the challenge is. It’s where
we are facing the great moral and social issues of our day. If you want action,
come teach in Philadelphia. If you don’t, go teach in the suburbs.”

WE SAY: Come join our school revolution as a teacher. Get in on the action.

Pub Where Joyce Wrote
To Be Sold By Auction

by Vincent Tobin

Newsmarket -on-Fergus, Ireland

SHANNON AIRPORT, Ireland
— Literature lovers around the
world have heard of Mulligan’s
Pub in Dublin and James Joyce,
the controversial Irish writer,
who made it famous.

To most Dubliners, however,
Mulligans has been just another
pub, and the fact that James
Joyce was, for years, a regu-
lar customer there and wrote
part of his most important work,
Ulysses, in a smoke-room off
the bar, has done little to dis-
tinguish it from a thousand other
pubs throughout the city. For
James Joyce, amongst his own
people, is very much a prophet
without honour, But last week
Mulligan’s Pub in Poolbeg Street
became a conversation piece,
Not amongst fovers of litera-
ture or Joyce fans but for busi-
ness men.

For the old premises is due to
come under the auctioneer’s ham-
mer on March 21, and its loca-
tion beside the quays, in a
congested area of the city, makes
it one of the most coveted pieces
of real-estate in Dublin.

What will happen to Mulligan’s?
Will it go the way of the fine
Georgian terraces in Mountjoy
Square and Fitzwilliam Street
that were razed lastyear to make
way for twentieth century steel
and concrete office blocks?

‘Will one more feature of Ire-
land’s past be swept away in the
country’s rush towards prosper-
ity? One can almost here the
ghost of another Irish writer,
Oliver Goldsmith, quote from
his immortal poem ‘The Desert-
Village” “I'll fares the land to
hastening ills a prey, Where
wealth accumulates and men de-
cay.’

Mulligans of Poolbeg Street
has looked out upon nearly two
hundred years of life in Dublin,

Mexican Poor Seen
In A ‘Twlight Zone’

by Pep Pizzillo

Rotary Founaation rellow

Mexico is not so “American
ized’? as one is told. Once out
side of the large cities (Mexico
City and Guadalajara for ex-
ample) one sees Mexico from
more than a tourist’s point-of-
view.

Also, Mexico isn’t complete-
ly a country of “obliagados’””
on horseback as many believe.
(Writing from an American point-
of-view, I am accustomed to the
prescence of alarge middle class
which seems to be lacking here.

I often use the word “twilight
zone” in describing Mexico; I
believe the poor see none of this
“progress.” What isnt? con-
trolled by the government, is
owned by foreign powers (mainly
the United States and British

interests.)
The “‘official party,’? the PRI
Qnstitutional Revolutionary

Party) is run as a Tammany-
like machine, The PRI police
and federal forces, besides sup-
porting the opposition parties
(which, of course, never win),
control everything in Mexico,

The class system is moreblat-
antly evident Here than in the
United States (Mexico has econo-
mic discrimination rather than
social discrimination), With its
second-class buses, trains, res-
taurants, and wages, los pobres
are easily identified,

I believe that when one speaks
of Mexico, he speaks two lan-
guages: that of the rich and
that of the poor, You might think
this is a horrifying presentation;
but after realizing that Mexico
is one of the three leaders of
uatin-America (Argentina and

Brazil are the other two), if
not the leader, you begin to pray
for other countries.

But Mexico certainly has a
popular attraction which is
proven by the thousands who re-
turn every year to Mexico (put
a tourist also sees ‘‘surface Mex-
ico”; to me, to know Mexico
you must have a certain feeling
for it).

To say it is a beautiful coun-
try is an understatement, The
Mexicans of past centuries have
permitted the culture brought by
the Spanish, Mayan, and other
Indian cultures to remain and per-
meate Mexico, The numerous
pyramids, temples, pottery and
paintings reinforce this point;
from this perspective, the Mex-
ican is a gifted individual.

It sheltered patriots during Ire-

ing one raid, by the British
forces, a group of Irish soldiers
hid their guns in a grandfather’s
clock that still stands ina corner
of the bar and sat drinking Guin-
ness while the house was being
searched.

In more recent times it has
been host to many celebrities
including the late President Ken-

the barman by asking for ice—a
commodity not often requested
and even less readily available
in Mulligans.

As young actors at the Abbey
Theatre the late Barry Fitzger-

both customers and the raucus
voice of Brendan Behan was of-

smoke-filled bar.

impending sale the atmosphere

Contact lenses can be
heaven ... or hell: They
may be a wonder of
modern science but just
the slightest bit of dirt
under the lens can make
them unbearable. In
order to keep your con-
tact lenses as comforta-
ble and convenient as
they were designed to be,
you have to take care of

Until now you needed
two or more separate
solutions to properly pre-
pare and maintain your
contacts. You would
think that caring for con-
tacts should be as con- fi
venient as wearing them. i
It can be with Lensine.

Lensine is the one lens
solution for complete
contact lens care. Just a
drop or two, before you
insert your lens,coats and
lubricates it allowing the
lens to float more freely
in the eye's fluids. That's

do your
ontact lenses lead
clean life?

because Lensine is an
“isotonic” solution,
which means that it
blends with the natural
fluids of the eye.

Cleaning your contacts
with Lensine retards the
buildup of foreign de-
posits on the lenses. And
soaking your contacts In
Lensine between wear-
ing periods assures you
of proper lens hygiene.
You get a free soaking
case on the bottom of
every bottle of Lensine.

It has been demonstrated
that improper storage be-
tween wearings may
result in the growth of
bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of
eye irritation and in some
cases can endanger your ;
vision. Bacteria cannot
grow in Lensine which is
sterile, self-sanitizing,
and antiseptic.

Let your contacts be the
convenience they were
meant to be. Get some

THE DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH and Drama has sponsored
this year, among its activities, ‘‘The Adding Machine.”

Speech, Drama To Move
To New Arts Center

by Laura Silverstein

The Speech and Drama De-
partment will be moving next
year to the new Performing Arts
Center, on the opposite end of
the Podium from the library,

This complex is reputed to be
one of the finest theater train-
ing facilities in the world. Dr.
Paul Bruce Pettit, chairman of
the Speech and Drama Depart-
ment, has been told this by sev-
eral major international archi-
tects at a meeting in Prague
where Pettit presented the blue-
prints of the building,

The Centre will consist of five
theaters, One will be specifical-
ly for music, the main stage will
be shared by both music and
theater. The remaining three
theaters will be employed by
theater only,

Next fall several new courses
will be offered, These are: Strind-
berg, Ionesco and Genet, the
Dramatic Art of the Romantic
Period, Broadcast Production,
and Film Production,

The Speech Pathology and
Audiology Department is rapidly
installing an audiology lab which
will include a sound-proof room,
major testing equipment, etc. The
department is striving to pro-
duce one of the finest research
and training facilities in New
York State outside of New York
City.

A Ph.D, program in Drama-
tic Art should be prepared by
1972, The Radio, Television
and Film department will have a
second phase of courses for a
second degree in the depart-
ment,

The Rhetoric and Public Ad-
dress section will begin a. li-
brary of significant speeches in
national and international events,
This way students will have the
opportunity to observe directly
the way in which great speak-
ers speak,

The theater section is enter-
taining the possibility of an in-
ternational program with an op-
tion in foreign study, There will
be summer and year-long pro-
grams that will be available with-
in the next two years,

This year, as Pettit says, is
really just a matter of house-
keeping until the department can
move, But that housekeeping is
keeping them awfully busy.

Dow Trial To Continue

For Each Individual

stration. To be sure, he was ask-
ed to step down from the wit-
ness stand and identify Whitney
who was sitting among the spec-
tators.

Connally stated that before any-
one was arrested they were told
they had ten minutes to leave
of their own accord.

After this ten people were ar-
rested.

Harvey began the cross exam-
ination of Connally by asking
him to explain the University pol-
icy that was violated by the de-
fendants.

Connally was forced to admit,
“I do not know.’”

Harvey continued the cross-
examination in an attempt to
prove that Connally was not a
peace officer as it applied in the
case.

Court was recessed for five
minutes at 3:35, It reconvened at
four o’clock. At this time Con-
nally was recalled to the witness
stand.

Connally finally stepped down
at 4:30.

At this time Harvey again moy-
ed that the case be dismissed
because: ‘the people have not
proved that Whitney breached
the peace at any time.’’

To further back his point, Har-

vey called Mary Loya to the wit-
ness stand. The D.A. immediate-
ly rose to object because Mrs.
Loya was a spectator in the court,
This violated the motion passed
by Harvey that all witnesses
should clear the court room.

To “amend this technicality,
Harvey requested a mass trial.
He was refused. In a final at-
tempt Harvey asked for an
adjournment until Tuesday morn-
ing. He was refused.

Continuing the case, the de
fense called James Whitney tothe
witness stand.

While Gray was examining
Whitney, Harvey interrupted the
D.A, This prompted the judge to
warn Harvey of his improper
court behavior.

Whitney testified that ‘There
were several requests for the
demonstrators to disperse. Iwas
determined to sit until five o’-
clock.”

Once again the proceedings
were halted, The judge moved
that the case be adjourned until
10:30 Tuesday morning.

The cases will continve into
next week.

Student view of Mexico

(Continued from Page 6)

The beautiful National Univer-
sity in Mexico City (which I
attended) is a huge, complex and
unbelievable structure. (94,000
students and 102,000 predicted
by 1970). Being autonomous, the
university encourages student
leadership in all affairs.

If a student group is not sat
isfied with the calibre of a
teacher, the teacher is dismiss-
ed (in 1965 so was the Head
Rector). The high budget allot-
ted to Education in Mexico has
filled the Academic Centers with
very capable and adequate in-
structors,

The most precious part of
Mexico are the poor people. They
are courteous, cooperative, and
friendly, and most of the time
happy, despite the plight they
have suffered for centuries.

To attend a posada at Christ-
mas time, or a fiesta at any
time is an experience. Their
music, dancing and mannerisms
are as near-perfect to happiness
as I can describe. They, alone,
make it worthwhile to see Mex-
ico.

T hope I have related a some-
what clear picture of a few of
my thoughts on Mexico.

On The Oath

Professor Whitney of the Math
Department was removed from the
University payroll recently be-
cause he refused to sign the Oath
of Office which is required by all
State employes. He has now, how-
ever, signed the oath.

Because he was asked to sign
after he had asserted his approval

" of the Teachers Draft Counselors
and had been arrested at the Dow
demonstration, Whitney consider-
ed the oath as an instrument of
political intimidation.

We admit that the timing involv-
ed in this case was poor, however,
only by a clerical error was the
oath not sent to Whitney when he
was first hired. The Supreme Court
has upheld the required oath as
law, and therefore, it is only by
signing the oath that he could leg-

Several aays ago a student posed
a bill from the New York State
Assembly on a bulletin board near
the Colonial’ Quad Flag Room. In-
troduced by an assemblyman from
the Southern Tier, this andanother
bill would demand the forfeiture
of the Regents Scholarship by any
student who participated in any vio-
lent public demonstrations or who
used or possessed illegal drugs.

It is ludicrous to even imagine
that this bill would be sent to the
floor of the Assembly. Our con-
fidence in our Legislators would
be severely shaken if itdid make it
to the floor.

The Regents award is given to
students primarily for their schol-
arship. It then follows that, if the
award is to be taken away it should
be because the recipient has not ful-
filled his academic requirements.
To take the scholarship away for
any other reason would be defeat-

ing the purpose of the award.
If a scholarship can be denied

or revoked if the holder partici-
pates in a “‘violent public demon-
stration’ or “uses or possesses
illegal drugs’” why can the schol-
arship not be taken away if the
student leads a promiscuous life,
~becomes a habitual drunkard, or is
in the numbers racket.

If these two bills somehow do be-
come law then the person designat-
ed by them would receive two pun-
ishments if he is convicted.of us-

ally teach. This is not political
intimidation.

Whitney’s reasons for now sign-
ing the oath is that his professor-
ship at the University puts him
“in a better position to carry out
activities against the war and
against circumstances which per-
mit this kind of war.”’ If this was
his conviction when he was origin-
ally asked to sign, why didn’t he?

Signing.the oath when he was first
asked would not have compelled
him to believe or act contrary to
his convictions. His signing the
oath, we feel, would not have in-
hibited his criticism of the war in
Vietnam, his activities as a coun-
selor for the Boston Draft Resis-
tance Group, his advocacy of the
Teachers Draft Counselors or his
participation in demonstrations.

ing or possessing illegal drugs or
violently demonstrating. The first
punitive measure would be dealt by
the courts; the second by the legis-

lature.
If the drug user or demonstrator

is a high school student he would
not be permitted to apply for a
scholarship. This is punishment

for an action of the past which
should haye been dealt with by the

courts. If the person is already
holding a scholarship he would have

it taken from him, but not because
of his academic standing as it

should be.
Is this assemblyman actually at-

tacking the protestors and pot us-
ers or is he attacking the so-called
“intellectual eggheads whc coop
themselves up in their universi-
ties?’ We feel that the latter is

the basis of these bills.
This attitude which the assem-

blyman and, mostlikely, the people
he represents, hold towards uni-
versity students seems tobe based
on the fear of the people who are
made out to be “smarter than the

ordinary man.”
This is not the case; universi-

ties are not to be feared and there-
by controlled and stifled. Those
outside and inside the centers of
education should learn tocommun-

icate with each other, not fight.
Perhaps if there were true com-

munication between the legislature

and the universities these unfor-
tunate bills may never have been

introduced.

Great Expectations

The long-awaited report of the
Committee on Undergraduate Edu-
cation has proved for the most
part to live up to the great ex-
pectations held for it. A quite
thorough document, it contains sug-
gestions for some startling innova-
tions and provides a basic over-
view of the direction which the com-
mittee feels the University should
take in the coming decade.

Somewhat conspicuously absent
from the report is any mention of
the possible installation of a pass-
fail system, rumored under con-
sideration by the committee in the
past months. Replacing this are
several options including evalua-
tion by various types of ‘‘indepen-
dent study” projects, overall con-
sideration of a student’s progress
by persons other than the student’s
instructors, and credit by examina-
tion, among others.

All of these, we feel, provide
constructive alternatives to the
present evaluational process.

In addition, credit by examina-
tion would also serve to free the

student who enters the University
with a great deal of knowledge in
a particular area or who is ca-
pable of attaining proficiency in
elementary material quickly, from
the mind-deadening drudgery of
lower level required courses. This
outside evaluation would also
serve largely to eliminate the
possible personal prejudice caus-
ed by personality clashes and dif-

ferences of opinion between student +

and professor.

We hear students daily speak-
ing of professors who will not
tolerate valid opposition to their

own point of view. For this type’

of professor, we feel, there is no
place in the University, especial-
ly as it is outlined in the curri-
culum report.

Another substantial deviation ad-
vocated in the curriculum report
is the institution of the three quar-
ter system. If this idea were in-
stituted, much of the loss of inter-
est exhibited by the student during
the final weeks of the semester
could be eliminated. By taking
only three coures at a time, the
individual would also be able to
study more fully in these areas.

However, with a little addition
and multiplication, it becomes evi-
dent that, unless these three cours-

es carried four credits each in-
stead of three, either it would be
necessary for the student to spend
more than four years at the Uni-
versity or the total credits neces-
sary for graduation would have to
be reduced.

Of the alternatives foreseeable
at this time, allowing the student
four courses per quarter or three
and an independent study project
seems the optimal plan.

Of the other proposals, the three
year Master’s, the General Col-
lege, the’ Departmental Program
and the Experimental College, only
the latter is deserving of extensive
criticism.

This proposal, which would ad-
mit students at the beginning of
the. tenth grade and devote their
summers to various study pro-
grams, would, while perhaps good
by educational standards, be detri-
mental to the students involved.
The plan is discriminatory mone-
tarily, even if scholarship aid were
provided, since it would involve

oe of living expenses away
‘rom home for seven years rather

than the four presently involved.

In addition, very few individuals
at age 15 are ready for a college
atmosphere,

If the student is removed from
the home and high school too soon,
as would be the case in the Ex-
perimental College, his develop-
ment would be greatly hampered
by forcing him to face a too ad-
vanced situation with few roots
and familiar faces to turn to.

We feel that, in the interests
of the individual student, setting
aside the possible advantage tothe
educational system, this portion of
the report should be disregarded
in the consideration of future di-
rections for the University.

On the other hand, we highly
recommend that the General Col-
lege be considered for implemen-
tation as soon as possible.

A commission set up to review
Separately each of the five major
provisions of part five of the re-
port and consider the practical
aspects of implementation, pos-
sibly working during Summer ’68,
would be an applaudable step to-
ward the quickest possible in-

Muck and Chaff

The memory of this year’s
New Hampshire primary will long
linger. Out of the morass of hope-
lessness emerged the first hero
of Election Year 1968, Subse-
quent developments should not
be allowed to dull the luster of
the McCarthy victory. Senator
McCarthy won the first round;
he not only defeated an incum-
bent President but he also, more
importantly conquered the feel-
ings of apathy and alienation that
until March 12th had pervadedus
all.

We had been prepared to ab-
dicate responsibility; to indulge
ourselves with self-pitying tears
over the inevitability of a Nixon-
Johnson race. We, who oppose
the war, were finding ourselves
driven out of the political main-
stream. We were, in fact, giv-
ing up on the American demo-
cratic process and not even the
McCarthy effort in New Hamp-
shire could move us.

Then came March 12th and it
changed everything. The shocked
visages of a stunned Huntley
and a delightfully amazed Brink-
ley brought it home to us. Mc-~
Carthy had done it, One felt as
if that forty-two per cent vote was
a personal vindication.

One felt somewhat ashamed
that he did not go to New Hamp-
shire; that he did not have the
faith in the American people
that was obviously felt by the
thousands of college students who
did go. However the victory was
our’s whether we went to the
Granite State or not.

The victory belonged to each
one of us who sat in front of a
television to see the Secretary
of State say that the President
would not consult with Congress
on further escalations ofthe war.
It belonged to each of us who has
argued and fought and demon-
strated only to be met time after
time by frustration and disap-
pointment.

It belonged to each of us who
was so conditioned to defeat that
we were ready to accept grate-
fully a twenty per cent McCarthy
vote. Today, in the wake of New
Hampshire, we will accept noth-
ing less than victory. Eugene
McCarthy has brought to 1968
what John F, Kennedy brought
to 1960; excitement and hope,

He also produced the candid-
acy of Robert F, Kennedy. Ken-
nedy is now challenging the Pres-

ident and I welcome his an-
nouncement with great expecta-
tions. Senator Kennedy has long
been a most articulate antiwar
advocate. He can now work with
Senator McCarthy to insure vic-
tory for a peace candidate. Those
of us who oppose the renomina-
tion of Lyndon Johnson must
not allow ourselves to be divid-
ed at this point. It is perfect-
ly reasonable to support both
Senator Mccarthy and Senator
Kennedy in fact there is no
alternative to that approach. One
can be quite certain that these
two idealistic men will weld an
alliance long before the Chicago
convention. It is my personal hope
that McCarthy will release his
delegates in favor of Robert F,
Kennedy and that Senator Ken-
nedy will be nominated. I have
heard all the arguments made
against Kennedy’s candidacy and
I find none of them convincing.

There are those who argue
that Senator Kennedy’s delay in
announcing his willingness torun
or support McCarthy demonstrat.
ed anew his unseemly ambition
and ruthlessness. These people
contrast McCarthy’s courage
with Kennedy’s lack of it.

The fact is that McCarthy had
little to lose by running against
Johnson, He had no Presidential
aspirations and New Hampshire
guaranteed his becoming a na-
tional figure. Kennedy, admitted-
ly a politician, had all to lose.
An unsuccessful Kennedy race
in 1968 will destroy any claim
he might have had on the 1972
nomination. And yet Kennedy is
running and he is running, not
merely to protest but to win.

Robert Kennedy’s candidacy
lends a new credibility to the
anti-war movement. He is the
national figure that Eugene Mc-~
Carthy is not. Kennedy, for most
Americans, symbolizes the anti-
Johnson faction of the party. He
will gain much more than the
anti-war vote.

Hundreds of politicans in this
country today feel an allegiance
to Robert Kennedy that stems
from 1960, He is not about to
lead a quixotic crusade; he can
garner the professional sup-
port that can lead him to the
White House, The stakes in 1968
are much too high for us to go
with anyone but the one man who
can be elected as the peace can-
didate.

“Oh, my roof’s got a hole in it”

It’s All Greek To Me...

by Maggie Dietz

This is a word of encourage-
ment to you in the metamorphic
state called PLEDGE!

It may seem as if you’re sup-
posed to be everything and noth-
ing at the same time. You’re
wearing a jacket, but you’re not
a brother yet; you’re part of a
sisterhood, but not yet a sister.

Is the Sword of Damacles hang-
ing over your h@d? No! If you
face up to the situation, you'll
find that it’s (what you probably
think is) an overly - sagacious
brother or sister who has pin-
pointed and pronounced your par-
ticular Achilles’ Heel to spur
you ona little,

As a part of the metamorpha-
sis from ‘*worm’? to ‘‘whatever,’”?
a pledge goes through what is
traditionally called Hell Week.
The duties you’re expected to
perform may seem “UNBELIEV-
ABLE,” but your brothers or
sisters do have some definite
purposes in mind.

You may be asked to get sig-
natures on various kinds of med-
fa, take a poll, iron shirts, or
even ‘Go to all your classes this
week!’? These duties, believe it
or not, are designed for fun!
Their purpose is, also, to help
you meet people in an informal
situation, With the encourage-
ment of your brothers or sis-
ters you will meet not only
members of other groups, but
also faculty members of the
University Community.

The individual fun activities

of pledging are best compliment-
ed by a group project which may.
be required of your pledge class.
Under the leadership of your
brothers or sisters, you may
be requested to complete a pro-
ject or service for your group,
your University, or your Com-
munity.

Your fraternity or sorority
may need a new decoration or
piece of furniture for the lounge.
You may be asked to help in a
Clean-Up or Renovation Project
for the University or the Com-
munity, You may spend some
time doing volunteer work at a
hospital, or on a Drive for the
Red Cross, Heart Fund, or Can-
cer.

The point is, of course, that
your status as a pledge becomes
what you do with it, Pledging
varies from group to group and
the examples I’ve mentioned are
a beginning sampling.

Your brothers or sisters will
frequently remind you of the
colors youre wearing, but
they’re doing it for a purpose.
It's important to assess and re-
member the fact that fraternal
groups are formed and perpet-
uated by reciprocal CHOICE, both
group and individual.

The metamorphic state of
PLEDGE can chrystallize into
a pretty great metamorphic state
of GREEK; in both cases, there’s
a lot of group and individual
growing going.on.

There are many who distrust
Kennedy. They say that heis wily
and deceitful. They have to goall
the way back to 1957 to find
any evidence to support their
contention but they will not see
these blind intuitions for what
they are.

These are the people who are
driven to such indignation by the
fact that so many of us are so
emotionally involved with Bobby
Kennedy. They don’t quite real-
ize that statements like, ‘‘There
is just something about Bobby I
don’t like so I can’t vote for
him,’”? are a good deal less ra~
tional and a good deal more dan-
gerous than anything we say.
They just don’t trust Robert Ken-
nedy; it is very unfortunate and
perhaps tragic that otherwise
reasonable people persist insee-
ing self-doubt as deviousness and
intensity as ruthlessness.

It is about time that they face
the fact that you cannot divorce
politics from the Presidency and
that, as the Eisenhower exper-
ience should teach us, it can
be very dangerous to attempt to.

I look forward to supporting
Robert Kennedy for the nomina-
tion and in November. One can
only hope that the disenchant-
ed Democrats realize that he
must be the candidate that they
finally agree upon, The times
require greatness and Robert
F, Kennedy is the one man
today who offers it.

Continuing with the views of
Adekola Odunade, a student here
from Nigeria, we examine the
racial problem. in the U.S, and
the Pueblo incident. The column
is also graced, this week, with
the viewpoint of another student,
Michael Muller, on the Pueblo
incident.

Adekola has a novel criticism
of the U.S, role in the Pueblo
affair. He believes that es-
plonage in any form is an im-
moral enterprise. Adekola ques-
tions the judgment behind reten-
sion of spy ships, by any navy.
Adekola bemoans the fact that
the Pueblo indicent occurred
through a needless vigilance.

The funds allocated to espion-
age not only detractfrom sources
of economic and educational de-
velopment, they are unnecessar-
ily allocated to begin with. Ade-
kola thinks that defense spending
should be geared to counter-es-
pionate activities within the U.S,,
in order to be truly defensive.

Since Russian ‘fishing? traw-
lers have merely been fined upon
violation of U.S, waters, Adekola
feels that North Korea should in-
stitute a similarly mild re
prisal against the U.S.S, Pueblo,
Adekola suggests that the Soviet
Union, and the U.N, should inter-
vene on behalf of the U.S. ship
and crew.

Michael Muller, a junior
majoring in political science,
also proffers his view on the

Pueblo indicent. He cites the
RB-47 and U-2 cases, in which
the U.S, first denied, and later
admitted, that U.S,S.R, air space
had been violated. With such evi-
dence of ‘credibility gap’ in U.S.
official statements, Michael sees
much reason for doubt inpresent
official statements.

Adekola’s opinions on the rar
cial problem seem to be as mild
as his other views, if not more
so. He believes that American
Negroes should have equal op-
portunity for education and em-
ployment, and equal payment for
that employment.

These attitudes may seem
oversimplified and naive, yet,
how naive and bigoted Americans
must seem to the rest of the
World when such a problem con-
tinues to defy resolution.

The U.S, has, indeed, already
altered its stand on the matter
by admitting the ‘possibility’ of
violation of N. Korean waters
by the U.S.S, Pueblo, The justi-
fication for American outrage at

the incident is largely under-
minded.

The pre-war generation nas
failed; the post-war generation
(WWII or Vietnam, take your
choice) displays an apathy more
dangerous than the atoremen-
tioned failure; and Americans
purport to be proud. Caucasian
American society must reevalu-
ate and remodel its own dynamics
before any constructive action
can be taken,

Review Of The New Right Wing

by Ray Bertrand

I agree, with members of both
ends of the political spectrum,
that a society without construc-
tive criticism is indeed totali-
tarian. And those people whose
beliefs push them to the right
do, strangely enough, also have
criticisms,

First, I shallexamine the prob-
lems of the Negroes, I hesitate
to label this case the Negro prob-
lem, because I don’t consider Ne-
groes as a problem, I feel that
Rap Brown and Stokley Carmich-
ael are problems, however .
not as Negroes, but as hate-fill-
ed, commie-loving, hammer-and-
sickle subversives, The life of
the Negroes, from any point of
view (except perhaps, those of
Governor and Mr. Wallace, Les-
ter Maddox, and KKK members),
is filled with troubles, I am op-
posed to handouts by the govern-
ment. Giving is not the answer,
Helping is-

I definitely would not be op-
posed to a non-wasteful jobtrain-
ing program, The present
scheme, where it costs more in
a year to train a man than he
could possibly earn, is unrealis-
tic. I can commend the idea and
the volunteers, but not the prac-
tice. Having been trainedproper-
ly, an individual can learn to
compete in a world full of re-
wards, and reap the benefits.
He can live in dignity, rather
than in one of humiliation caus-
ed by handouts unfair in part to
the taxpayer, but totally destruc-
tive to the ego of the recipient.
What the Negro really wants
is self-respect, and only through
capitalism can he achieve that
end.

Next, I shall examine a few
aspects of the Vietnam War.
Concerning inhumanity: if the salt
of the earth wants to protest,
how about both sides? Hearing
that the VC are all good Joes
makes me sick, as does the un-
provoked accusation that we are
imperialist aggressors. In our
recent history, we have demon-
strated, more than once, that we
are in favor of giving people
freedom, rather than  enslav-
ing them.

Anyone interested can check
the commie records on that point;
I needn’t expound their doctrine
of imposing shackles on every
country they lay their crummy
hands on, Is Vietnam fighting in
our best national interest? I con-

. tend that every square inch in

the world that Marxists don’t have
is worth defending, They’ve
shown in the past that if you give
them an inch, they’ll take the
country. If we allow this prac-
tice to continue, pretty soon good
old U.S. of A. will be the only
free republic in the world,

Pulling out isn’t the answer to
a sensible solution in Southeast
Asia. That would easily result
in the wholesale slaughter of
millions, You’d think that peo-
ple would learn by the lesson
of Munich in 1938, that aggres-
sors are never satisfied.

Now a constructive criticism
of the left, We on the right real-
ize that the United States is far
from perfect; but today, we are
as close as anyone has ever
come, Our ultimate goal is the
perfection of our society. If ’'m
not incorrect, the goal of the
“New Left”? is the destruction
of our society. We both say that
we're not perfect. The right re-
Plies, ‘‘Let’s try harder.’? The
left’s solution is, ‘Let’s start
all over.’ Destruction of great-
ness rarely reproduces great.
ness,

I suggest the left also take
part in the quest for perfection,
We must build instead of destroy,
The men who signed the Declara-
tion of Independence laid the best
possible foundation. The only task
remaining is the finishing
touches, Of course, perfection
can never be reached, but striv-
ing for it can build a better life
for all of us than socialism could
ever hope to offer,

Apologies are in order for two
mistakes in last weeks column.
First of all, I was referring to
the proposed protest against the
Firestone Company, andnot Arm-
strong as was stated. Secondly,
shortly after I wrote praising
Dr. James Whitney for having
the fortitude to quit his job for
what he believed in, he announc-
ed he would sign a loyalty oath
and go on teaching, The signing
of the oath, I feel, is in direct
conflict with Dr. Whitney’s con-
victions.

P.S, Fred Halstead, Socialist
Workers Party candidate for U.S,
President, looks like a fat capital-
ist.

Balance of Views

To the Editor:

I must compliment you on the
balance of the political views ex-
>ressed inyour editorial columns
of the March 1 issue. Anyone
who says that we did not have
more than one view of political
philosophy in our comprehensive
student newspaper is, of course,
an anarchist (who alsohappens to
have the added attribute of ob-
jectivity.)

Ray Bertrand’s column con-
cerning the Dow Chemical de-
monstration was excellent;
especially the section about the
behavior of the demonstrators, I
noted that the demonstrators
could have taken a hint from Mr.
Bertrand’s ‘*Normal People”?
who heckled him; spewing good,
down to earth patriotic, Anglo-
Saxon, four-letter-words; whose
meaning everyone understood. I
felt the yelling in cadence of one
of these terms was extremely
exemplaritive of the intelligence
of the YAF.

Also, I enjoyed Mr. Bertrand’s
definition of a true patriot. It is
reminiscent of Germany’s defini-
tion during the ’30s and 740s; a
period of time which we all look
back to as an ideal.

His definition of a patriot is
one who ‘‘loves the U.S., as itis,
a capitalist sovereign nation.’
Most collegians would not draw
this conclusion on their own —
put Mr. Bertrand had set them
straight!

Bert Devorsetz’ columnis also
deserving of recognition. He con-
cerns himself with the personal
hygiene of the demonstrators. I
am sure that the American
soldiers in Vietnam can sym-
pathize with him, as they are
forced to savor the odor of the
scorched, decaying flesh of their
friends and enemies.

I noticed that it was difficult
to distinguish between the scent
of the demonstrators and that of
the ‘normal’? hecklers.

I did not feel Mr. Devorsetz’
concern for Albany State’s pos-
sible ‘degeneration’? onto a
Berkeley or Antioch is well
grounded. The academic
standards of these schools, obvi-
ously, donot compare with Albany
State’s ‘magnificent’ standing.

The renown people who have
graduated from Antioch and
Berkeley are obviously left-wing
upstarts. Just because they have
the highest posts in government
and industry is, ef course norea-
son to suspect that these schools
have anything going for them.

Don Gennett’s column is
another deserving comment. The
extreme seriousness with which
he approached the Dow Problem
(that of a man dying from eating
sandwich wrapped in Saran wrap)
is alarming.

This represents his total
awareness of the great moral
dilemma facing mankind today,
With his type of approch, we will
never have to face this dilemma;
so it will just naturally go away.

Therefore, I wish toagaincom-
pliment the newspaper on its
magnificent array of political
thought in its March 1st issue,
The left of center arguments
were magnificent although the
newspaper wisely made the stu-
dents look for them. I foundsome

Founding Peace
To the Editor:

We must be on guard against ©

attempting to found peace upon
a false foundation. We must base
all of our actions upon care-
ful thought and open discussion.
Any counsel that denies this ae-
nies the universal brotherhood
of all men by reducing some men
to the status of mere tools to
be exploited by other men. There-
fore, it denies the very founda-
tion of peace.

Is it not an amazing inconsis-
tancy that some of those who
would advise us to question the
entire structure of our society
would have us limit the thought
and the discussion that preceeds

our actions?

Perhaps they would be only
too glad to do our thinking for
us. Furthermore, we must at
least question the counsel of
those who would have us destroy
part of our society but who are
unable or unwilling to tell us
what they would erect in its
Place.

We should take no comfort
from such vague statements as
something will evolve out of the
process of change. That some-
thing might well be a military
government or government by a
power block, Moreover, we can
base no hope for peace upon a
counsel which would sanction vio-
lence within our own nation,

How van we be expected to
behave nonviolently toward our
brothers in other lands if we
can offer no counsel except the
counsel of force within our land?

We must remember that the
oppressors as well as the op
pressed are victims of their cir-
cumstances. Violence can not
change this situation, for vio-
lence by its very nature forces
some men to become the oppres-
sors of their brothers and creates
a self-perpetuating cycle of vio-
lence.

We must remember that our
greatest problem today probably
consists of men with good in
tentions who are so damn sure
that they are right that they would
destroy the world in order to
save it.

Healthy Changes

To the Editor:

Mr. Devorsetz’s column, ‘¢On
the Starboard Side,” and Mr.
Iseman’s “The Right Way” (ASP,
March 8, 1968) were good
catalysts for liberal discussion,
However, some ofus liberals who
are earning academic freedom
and who know demonstrations —
my experience as a black in
Mississippi was proof enough—
can produce healthy changes in
society lke good journalism in
our campus paper.I hope Messrs.
Devorsetz and Isemanwill accept
the following quotation from Ric-
hard M, Weaver’s ‘*The Ethics of
Rhetoric” as a carminative:

«eThe machinery of propagation
and inculcation is today so im-
mense that no one avoids entirely
the assimilation and use of some
terms which havea downward ten-
dency. It is especially easy to
pick up a tone without realizing
its trend. Perhaps the best that
any of us can do is to hold a
dialetic with himself to see what
the wide circumferences of his
terms of persuasion are. The
process will not only improve
the consistency of one’s thinking
but it will also . . . prevent his
becoming a creature of evil public
forces and a victim of his own

thoughtless rhetoric.’*

Eyes Mock

Eyes mock the man who owns
them when those eyesare blind or
astigmatized. It seems that the
column written by I. Mock (He
doesn’t sound like Bertrand Rus-
sell or Russell Bertrand — He
has no eyes man!) must eitherbe
self-mockery or scorn for the

ler.

‘The title of the article, of that
copiously .unsighted hindview,
‘qnyisible Man on Campus,”
brings to mind the Ralph Ellison
ook entitled ‘Invisible Man.’?
Ellison deals with the hardship
thrust upon the Negro by Cauca-
sian blindness to the problems
and individuality of both black
and white alike. I. Mock is guilty
of the same crime.

The first American patriot to
be killed in the Revolutionary
War, Crispus Atticus, the former
slave referred to by Mock, might
as well have died a slave for the
treatment given him in the
solumn. I. Mock dared tousehim
(in the same manipulative sense
that Ellison decried) tohelp justi-
fy our current‘liberation’ efforts
in Vietnam, while ignoring the
contract between the patriotism
of Negro soldiers in Vietnam and

the blindness that whites display
toward blacks in the states. This
is not justice just because it’s
blind.

The next time that I. Mock
chooses to use a Negro patriot
to prove a point, I hope he doesn’t
ignore the implications of Negro
patriots demise in the cause or
Vietnamese ‘freedom.’ Such a
staunch freedom fighter as I.
Mock, certainly shouldn’t wish to
reveal his hypocrisy by relent-
less babbling on‘ freedom fights,’
while ignoring every aspect of
the milieu of the real patriot, the
freedom fighter, black or white.

I think that I. Mock should take
to heart (and head), the last
statement of his polemics, ‘*We
must press forward intelligently
. . 2? Why don’t you do that, I.
Mock, It’s a worthy and sincere
challenge for any patriot, lame or

blind.

Correction

To the Editor:

Regarding your printing of my
article, ‘‘The Port Side’’ in last
week’s ASP (March 15), I wishto
point out only the most important
of the many errors.

Please change ‘We do not sup-
port. .”? to “We support the right,
(sie) of black people to achieve
freedom by any means they con-
sider necessary to attain it.”

and, I might add, the SWP-
YSA supports that right uncondi-
tionally.

Off-Center Off

To the Editor:

M, J. Rosenberg’s recent ‘Off
Center’ was really just that and
one had to strain to glean a
grain of truth. This conglomer-
ation of falsifications reflects
the sick mentality of the Zion-
ists. ‘The Rosenberg” vomit-
ed the usual zionism content of
hatred, antisemitism, genocide,
insolence, etc., while waving his
rusty sword (antisemitism) to
scare people, but his blade is

Rosenberg’? accused
Roosevelt of making a coalition
with Hitler, and the State Depart-
ment of Antisemitism because it
denounced the barbarism of the
Israelis, Yet he forgot that the
U.S. with the aid of colonial
Britain created Israel on Arab
soil, crucified the Palestinian
Arab nation, armed, financedand
actively supported the Israelis
to please Zionism, the twin of
Naziism. The Israelis destroyed
a U.S, ship Liberty” killing 34
Americans, yet they were for-
given whereas the United States
is destroying North Vietnam be-
cause of the Tonkin incident in
which no ships were destroyed

and no Americans were killed,
Why ‘the Rosenberg” forgets
all that. Perhaps he has a case
of selective amnesia.

It is interesting to note that
‘the Rosenberg”’ uses the Ausch-
witz and Dachau persecutions as
an excuse for the zionists to es-
tablish their third Reich ‘Is-
rael,” and to practice annihila-
tion in the Middle East under
the protection of the U.S, The
zionist robbed Palestine and
yet label any Palestinian objec-
tion antisemitism. U.S, profes-
sors who visited the area and
tell the truth are accused of anti-
semitism., ‘‘The Rosenberg’’ and
his band of censors prescribe
to the American people what
they should or should not know.
He establishes the principle that
the zionists are the untouchables,
Hitler should be condemned for
his crimes but the zionists should
not be condemned for their
crimes.

Finally, Arab students need
not to listen to a Zionist robot.
Moreover, they are confident that
the Americans are intelligent
people capable of differen-
tiating between facts and falla~
cies, between Rosenberg’s
myths, propaganda, illusions and
hallucinations on one hand and
truth on the other, .

In Reply

To the Editor:

In reply to Mr. Rosenberg’s
fanatic arguments I must admit
that he has a wild imagination
to conjure that the State Dept.

is antisemitic and pro-Arab when
most Arab countries do not even
have diplomatic relations with
the U,S, However, what struck
me as most fanatic was the usual
Zionist argument which one hears
repeated over and over againand
which successfully intimidates
even the most liberal minds from
questioning the true nature ofthe
Arab-Israeli conflict. The means
of this powerful argument is one
label: ‘Anti-Semit.” This label
crushes the Arab side of the
story before you have even ex-
posed yourself to the facts,
And as Mr. Rosenberg has used
it, this label rests on a sound
psychological method which the
Zionists exploit and that is, the
guilt feeling of all Christians
who have persecuted the Jews
throughout their history and most
recently for the genocide of the
six million Jews.

To us Arabs, the Palestinian
problem is an instance of dispos-
session, not of an individual dis-
possessing another, but rather
of individuals dispossessing an
entire people from their legal
home.

We realize that the Jews are
representative of the 12 tribes
of Israel which conquered most
of Palestine in the 13th Century
B.C,, that they were evicted by
Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C, and
later by the Romans in 135 A.D,

We realize that these Jews
who were living in Europe were
persecuted constantly by the West
and that Hitler’s atrocities left
many of them homeless. But we
also know that we have consti-

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

by Bill Rohde

Historically, empire building
has beena risky business because
the architects usually injure the
people whom they use as building
plocks. In 1938, the Japanese
cabinet wanted to settle the war
in China. It was stymied in that
attempt by the Japanese general
staff which argued that the flower
of Japan’s youth was being killed
off by the politicans’ error in
stimulating intervention in China.
The general staff made clear,
that it was not about toaccept the
idea that the young men who died
in China did so in vain. Thus
more lives were thrown away.
There was also another reason
for the rashness of the Japanese
military: they wanted to protect
their prestige and dominance in
politics, and the national budget.
Thus the military forced the
civilian cabinet to escalate and
to continue actions which led to
the Second World War.

The United States is dealing
with similar experiences today,
and the same confrontation is
developing because of the Viet-
nam War. Marcus Raskin, form-
er White House assistant under
President Kennedy, remarked on
this civilian-military issue in
1967:

«‘The methods we have followed
in Vietnam may not be without
cost, in terms of our own nation’s
stability and freedom of choice.
When we ask the military to
undertake projects which are
inherently unmilitary, we are
courting great danger. The of
ficial American policy in Vietnam
is to support a civilian govern-
ment, but the rank-and-file in-
tary, as well as high ranking
American military officers, sup-
port the South Vietnamese mili-
tary. Bad habits are learned in
such wars, and they may be too
easily applied at home.’? These
“*hbad habits” are steadily rein-
forced as the Pentagon wrestles
more power from the civilian
sector of government. An ex-
ample is the recent House Arm-
ed Service Committee bill estab-

lishing a four-year term for the
chief of staff of the Army, the
Navy, and the Air Force. Until
this bills inception, the President
had been able to exercise control
over the Joint Chiefs of Staff by
not appointing them to set terms,
thus making it clear to them that
they were not independent. The
President and the Secretary of
Defense were in astrong position
to sack any general or admiral
who met with their disapproval.
The new bill negates this civilian
power, giving the military a freer
rein.

In addition to relinquishing the
power ofdismissal, the President
has also subordinated much of his
authority to his military advis-
ors. It is a general rule that

Page 11

leaders depend on their top brass
during wartime. Thus, when a
President commits himself toa
policy of escalation, he must
lend an ear to their demands,
and recommendations which they
make cannot be avoided. He is
the passenger in the plane and
must depend on his crew for
flight.

The military power is eroding
civilian authority in America.
Like any large bureaucracy, the
Pentagon perpetuates itself by
absorbing power and spreading
influence. Since the military mind
is basically authoritarian, itdoes
not see government in democratic
terms. Its forte is domination and
regimentation, and these are the
historic enemies of our liberties.

The Rig

by Robert Iseman

ht Way |

The President’s Advisory
Commission on Civil Disorders
used a very disturbing phrase
in their recent March 2 report.
They said that welfare recip-
ients should be ‘table to regard
assistance as a right.’? When
people begin to think of welfare
as a right, and not a privilege,
our entire economic and social
structure is threatened,

Let’s examine the legal and
social validity and practicality
of making welfare a right. First,
there is no law that gives peo-
ple the “right” (in the sense of
the right to life, liberty and prop-
erty) to a welfare check. Our
Constitution grants and protects
our political rights; it is a po-
litical, not a social document.

From The Behind

by M.D.S., and M.A.D.

Albany State has recently been
selected as one of the contribut-
ing agencies to a world-wide time
capsule to explain to future gen-
erations something of our time,

We had the pleasure of din-
ing last week with one of the
foreign investigators who has
been on our campus checking us
out.

“what here has interested you
most?”’ we asked.

“No question about it,’ he
said, ‘your non-profit bookstore,
I am convinced that it is being
run as a psychological exper-
iment to see how much can be
put over American college stu-
dents, supposedly the smartest
group in the world.’?

“We don’t understand,’ we
said.

“Simple. Where else in the
world would someone have the
nerve to charge  college-edu-
cated people 29 cents for an

West compensate the Jews as
well as its own conscience

Election Congrads

To the Editor:

First, as a member of Central
Council, I would like to public-
ally congratulate the Election
Commission for a very excel-
lently-managed election. Con-
sidering the great difficulties of
past elections, it is obvious that
the management of elections has
come a long way toward the better
in just a few months.

Secondly, I am hopeful that the
problems which did arise inthese
recent elections may be easily
eliminated or alleviated. Above
all, one big problem must be
solved — how to get people to
vote. The fact that just barely
20 per cent of the student body
voted points its finger accusingly
in a number of directions. Is the
election Commission to be
blamed? To some degree, yes. Is

the Student Body at fault? YES!
It, or rather we, find ourselves
not caring who guides the govern-
mental bodies; that is, until we
find something wrong or want
something done. Then, those
same people who couldn’t be
bothered with voting are the
people who yell the loudest or
kick the hardest.

Many of these people do not
realize that in just a few years—
or maybe even this year — they
must yote for the leaders of a
nation. Will they care enough to
vote then? I wonder.

Lastly, I feel it must be noted
that the change in voting pro-
cedures here at SUNYA was initi-
ated, not by the Election Commis-
sion, but rather, by an Election
Bill presented to Central Council
early in the fall semester, The
bill forced the question and pre-
cipitated changes that otherwise
might have taken a number of
semesters to gradually evolve.

Its writer was ticked off at
the oceurrances of the past elec-
tions and decided todo something
about it. I know.

I wrote it!

Jerusalem

To the Editor:

I was doing some research in
back issues of ‘'The Jerusalem
Post’’ the other day. In view of
the recent articles in the ASP
dealing with the Arab-Israeli
issue I would like to share a few
comments made by an East Jeru-
salemite, Dr. Shawki J, Kubleh,
M. Se., M. Ch., of the Jeru-
salem Clinic, Beit Hanina, in an
article in the December 20, 1967
‘Jerusalem Post,’? He wrote:

*T too am a refugee. . .But
whose fault was it ? I, as Arab

nationalist, point the finger of
guilt at us. Nobody forced us to
abandon our houses, our orange
groves, our lands, our country.
Why sould we, now that guilt is
weighting heavily on our
shoulders, blame the State of
Israel for driving us out in 1948?
You say, all our former property
was confiscated and given tototal
strangers. But who was the
one who left it all behind? If you
have property, take care of it;
if you leave, you have no right
to it.

‘faving kept a dairy since
1949, I carefully traced my notes
and found out that those people
who nowadays are living in tents
and camps, have always had their
dwellings and shall always have
their homes in slovenly tents and
shabby hovels. . .In short, an
idle refugee has always been
lazyl 11

“why should Israel return to
us our previous abodes? May I
ask, on what grounds do you
propose it? Even, had the Arab
armies reconquered ‘‘Pales-
tine,’’ what privileges have we
as ‘Palestinians’ to claim our
former property? Who fought this
war but Arabs who heard of
Palestine and never set eyes on
1t?". 0.

“One more thing: it is very
unfortunate that we know nothing
of Israel and the Israelis. The
tragedy is that they know more
about us than we know ourselves!!
Our people and Arab brethren
call your exerted efforts in vain,
Why? Because we never bothered
to know about Israel. We were
too sure of our victory. In our
rabid and blind hate, we have
learned absolutely nothing. . .””

I hope that my fellow students
and faculty members will give
some further thought to‘ ‘the guilt
and the refugees.”

terest also. At the last meeting,
the budget of Music Council was
held up 20 minutes while the
amount of money they asked
for stamps was debated, although
a $40,000 line for Contempor-
ary Music Council was OKed in
under a minute,’?

“But they hold down expenses
as best they can.’?

“That’s true. The budget for
next year is only $45,000 over
what was expected, necessitating
a more than $5 per person in
crease in student tax.’?

“Wow! I can’t afford that, But
aren’t they acting in our best
interests?”

“Sure, Under the current sys-
tem, only half the members are
elected directly by the students,
and they on the basis of person-
alities since there areno parties,
no platforms and no possible way
of knowing what a student stands
for when he runs for Council.’*

“‘What can we do about it???

“Nothing. By my actual count,
99.2 per cent of the student body
doesn’t care in the slightest what
Central Council does, and almost
60 per cent don’t even know there
is a Central Council.”

“Js all of this going into your
official report?”

“Of course, We feel this is
the best way to show your de-
cendents why the American so-
ciety is filled with arrogance,
intolerance, racism and war.
With products of one of Ameri-
ca’s educational systems com-
ing out like this, it is plain
that there was no one to stop
the country from going to Pot.’?

Apologies must be extended to
Chi Sig for my reference to their
assimilation of the 26 mule team.
So what if they took in 26 mules,
look at what the other sororities
took in.

One of the members of The
Club was abducted from his apart-
ment in the middle of the night.
Although kidnapings are not at all
unusual during pledging, this one
was. He was kidnaped by four
girls from Hudson Valley.

The past few weekends have
seen the Rathskellar filled to
capacity during the evenings.
Most State students are still
frequenting the off-campus spots
while the snack bar has become
a ‘Pig pick-up Palace’ for the
“men” of RPI and Union. It
would seem that we already have
enough faggots of our own with-
out having to turn to imports.

The New Myskania has taken
the oath as the guardian of Al-
bany’s traditions. Of course, our
only remaining tradition is My
Myskania itself.

The local hippies are headed
for the all-eastern demonstration

to give everyone equal oppor-
tunity, not equal reward.

Our present welfare system
can probably be traced back to
our Judeo-Christian heritage. We
feel that we haye-the moral ob-
ligation to take care of others.
Society’s responsibility is moral
not legal; the welfare recipients’
aide is their privilege, not their
right,

Unfortunately, social rights
have been interpreted into the
Constitution, These decisions, of-
ten increasing the scope and in-
tensity of welfare programs, have
all but destroyed what Max Web-
er called the Protestant Work
Ethic in America, The trend
towards the welfare state has
diminished the incentive to work
and caused serious social and
economic repercussions.

The most repugnant: example
of the abuse of the welfare sys-
tem is shown by the recipients
who simply refuse to work, or
those who refuse to accept em-
ployment because they think that
the job is below them. The atti-
tude of these good-for-nothing
loafers is exemplified by Mrs.
Beulah Sanders, Chairman of the
City-Wide Coordinating Commit-
tee of Welfare Groups (NYC).
She says that she would not ac-
cept employment for less than
$6,500 a year, ‘and no dead-end
job neither, a job with a future.”
Well, Beulah, society doesn’t owe
you anything!!! and people with
your attitude shouldn’t receive
a cent of assistance. Other wel-
fare clients, particularly in NYC
are not satisfied withapartments
that rent for $90 a month, Rath-
er, they demand and often re-
ceive housing in the $150-$250
per month range,

The ultimate goal of the bleed-
ing-heart liberals and profession~
al parasites is the guaranteed
annual income, Several egg-head-
ed economists have suggested
giving a guaranteed wage of not
less than $3,500 a year per fam-
ily of 4, Although this may sound
unbelievable to many, it is re-
ceiving serious consideration,
In fact, it is one of the Presi-
dent’s riot commission’s pro-
posals.

If this practice were initiated,
how many hard working people
making $4-5,000 a year would
keep their jobs? Would itbe worth
their while to work a year and
earn only $1,000 more than some-
one not working? Furthermore,
the cost of such a program would
be 15-25 billion dollars. Where
would the money come from?
Supposedly, the federal govern-
ment would continue to play Rob«
in Hood, but I for one do not rel-
ish the idea of paying higher
taxes.

“The Affairs of Anatol”’ gives its last performance tomor-
row evening in the Richardson Studio Theatre.

Lewis Reviews
Theatre Season

Actor, director, and teacher
Robert Lewis spoke before a
large, interested, and entertain-
ed audience in Page Hall onMon-
day night. Mr. Lewis is present-
ly the holder of the Agnes E.
Futterer Lectureship and cur-
rently teaches two courses in
dramatic art at the University.

Lewis’ speech was entitled ‘A
Non-Critic Reviews the New York
Theatre Season” and was co-
sponsored by the Theatre Alumni
Association and the Department
of Speech and Dramatic Art of
the University.

Lewis’ opening comments in
the past Broadway season were
entirely general, ‘‘The season
was divided into bad musicals,
comedies, imports, and old plays.

Speaking on the first play ofthe
season, Mary Mercier’s‘‘Johnny
No-Trump” (a play ‘‘of real
merit”? with ‘‘no chance of sur-
vival’), Lewis blamed the Broad-
way audience for the production’s
swift demise(**it opened and clos-
ed on the same night.””)

Lewis’ main complaint in this
case was that in order to satisfy
the modern New York theatre
audience, plays ‘‘must be pre-
packaged” with ‘names.’ This
he continued, is “ a horrible
economic fact”? about Broadway
today.

Lewis was particularly critical
when speaking of Edward Albee.
(Here goes another friend.’’)
Commenting on that playwright’s
recent unsuccessful adaptation of
a British drama, “Everything in
the Garden,’? Lewis asked, ‘*Why
does he do it?”

On this point, Lewis was refer-
ing to Albee’s puzzling insistence
on adapting other works ‘that
resist the adaptor’s hand”? in-
stead of concentrating on his own
original ideas.

Of Arthur Miller’s new play,
“The Price,’” Lewis felt that it
is **good, solid, with sound char-
acters” but that it is too old-
fashioned and out of the times,
too much like Miller’s older
plays with no commentary on
modern day problems,

Lewis pointed out that this
play is merely a full-length ex-
pansion of a one-act teleplay that
Miller had read to Lewis in synop-
sis form more thanadecade-and-
a-half ago.

Turning to off-Broadway,
Lewis admitted that ‘*Macbird’”?
was “very funny’? but ‘was too

easy, like some sort of prank,
with no real meat of genuine
satire.”

He added that a delegation of
foreign theatre luminaries who
saw the play during the summer
were ‘very greatly offended by
the play’s lack of taste” and its
“tunintellectual satire.’”

Lewis called ‘*The Beard” ‘a
landmark, a first:’? the audience
was ‘thombarded by psychedelic
lights and screeching noise for
a solid half-hour after the play
had begun.’?

Later, at the conclusion of the
play, an indescribable sexual act
was performed on stage com-
pletely and in full view of the
audience (for the first time in
dramatic history).

Lewis warned that the Lincoln
Center and APA-Phoenix Reper-
tory Theatres are trying ‘‘to
create a library of good plays’”’
without first ensuring that they
will always be assured of capable
casts for their productions.

Lewis lavished much praise on
the recent performances of the
Merce Cunningham and Robert
Joffrey Ballet Troupes for their
successful employment of mixed
media concepts in their shows.

Commenting on why artists are
not usually successful when hand-
ling mixed media techniques,
Lewis pointed out that mixed
media is a very stagy process
and that these artists ‘tare not
theatrical enough” either in
training or imagination to use
mixed media to its best advant-
ages during a performance.

‘Affairs’

by Francine Holz

The State University Theatre
is currently presenting its third
major production of the year,
“The Affairs of Anatol’? by Ar-
thur Schnitzler. The play, which
was directed by Dr. Paul Bruce
Pettit and presented in the Rich-
ardson Studio Theatre on March
13-16 and 20-23 must on the
whole be judged a very polished
production.

The story itself is essentially
static. In the course of seven
scenes the audience is given
a glimpse into the character of
one, Anatol, and his relations
with a seemingly endless succes-
sion of Victorian ladies. The
play, though pleasant, is com-
pletely episodic and devoid of
plot.

In each scene Anatol is either
falling in or out of love while
rigorously practicing the double
standard of chastizing these lad-
ies for their previous relation-
ships. This, in toto, is all we
ever learn about our hero —
he remains neither completely
dispicable nor completely ad-
mirable.

Given the play, however, one
must acknowledge this as a beau-
tifully executed production, The
acting was consistently good, the
staging interesting, and the tech-
nical aspects superb.

Each scene began with a tab-
Jeau viewed through a house cur-
tain made of scrim, which work-
ed beautifully to set the scene
with an almost picture card ef-
fect.

The character Anatol was most
excellently enacted by Mr. Wil-
liam Snyder, and Fred Penzel
as his philosophical friend, Max,
also did a fine job with perhaps
the most witty and delightful lines
of the play.

Plans Announced

Plans for Sophomore-Junior
Weekend are now fully under
way. Friday, March 29, the Four
Tops will appear in concert,
and there will be a day at the
Lake George Inn on Saturday,
March 80.

Tickets for the Four Tops
are $2.00 with student tax cards
and $4.50 without tax. Tickets
are now on sale in the Campus
Center.

The day at Lake George will

consist of a showing of the W.C.
Fields movie ‘The Bank Dick,’?
a barbeque dinner, and a beer
party with two bands, Beer will
be on tap all day. Tickets for
Saturday are $9.00 per couple
and are now on sale in the
campus center for all.
Buses will leave for Lake
George at 2:30 from the traffic
circle, Dutch Quad parking lot,
and Partridge Street.

part of Sophomore-Junior Weekend, The concert will take place

in the new gymnasium.

Presented
Highly Polished Production

All other performances were
consistently good. Anne Murray
gave an excellent performance
as Emily, in one of the most
serious scenes of the play, while
Gila Slavin as Mimi and Heidi
Baird as Lorna gave the most
enjoyable comic ones.

The only real production weak-
ness came at the very opening
of the play. Despite the first
tableau, the play begins too rap-
idly. Before the audience has
had a chance to take in the sit-
uation, it is deluged with a rapid
and wordy exchange between Ana-
tol and Max.

Technically, however, this play
is superb. The sets remind one
very much of paper and ink draw-

ings and were most impressive.

Music for the production was
recorded at the Museum of Music
in Scarsdale, New York. The
tapes were made of songs play-
ed on an Automatic Cremona
Theatre Orchestra, which is a
device resembling a player piano,
producing the sounds of twenty
different instruments. Antique
furniture completes the scen-
ic virtuosity.

It is difficult to draw con-
clusions about a play like ‘The
Affairs of Anatol’? except to
say that it was skillfully present-
ed. and on the whole an enjoy-
able production, Ultimately one
must admit, that the play itself
is not much,

The Julliard String Quartet
Concert in Page Hall last Fri-
day night, March 15, was one of
the better concerts sponsored
by Music Council. The group liv-
ed up to any preconceived expec-
tations of the audience.

The selections varied from
two selections by classical com-
posers — Mozart’s Quartet in
D Minor, k. 178, and Beethov-
en’s Quartet in A Minor, Opus
132, to a modern piece, Quartet
No. 4, Opus 37 by Schoenberg,

The Mozart and Beethoven se-
lections had audience appeal be-
cause of their melodic quality
and musical unity, The most im-
pressive things about the entire
concern were the superb balance
of all four instruments, the sen-
sitivity of the players to the dy-
namics, the rich tone quality of
the instruments, and the precise
executions and endings of each
movement, The control, unity and
precision of the style of theplay-
ers was especially noted in the
molto adagio — andante move-
ment of the Beethoven piece,
where Robert Mann, the first
violinist had a sustained high
note to be played with a slowly
drawn bow, to which he added
the slightest vibrato — three
elements which demand rigid con-
trol in order for the ending to
result light and airy.

The Schoenberg Quartet No. 4,

Opus 37, was appealing for its
technical aspects. In contrast to
the Beethoven and Mozart pieces
which were characterized by
beauty, regular rhythm patterns
and symetrical design, the
Schoenberg piece showed irregu-
lar rhythm, intense pitch, dis-
sonant harmony and extreme
dynamics. Arnold Schoenberg, a
Vienese composer of the 20th
century, established the ‘tone
row’? or the 12 tones of the
chromatic scale as the funda-
mentals of a new musical lang-
uage, sometimes referred to as
dodecaphony. His music is pow-
erful and expressive. The piece
was characterized by the bold
staccato of all four instruments,
syncopation, dotted rhythm, dis-
sonant chords and enharmonics.
The effect of the contrasting dy-
namics was enhanced by the use
of mutes, and the interesting var-
fation of pizzacato, staccato,
bouncing bows and the use of
the wood part of the bows over
the strings,

The audience, made up of a
disproportunate number of fac~
ulty members over students, was
very receptive to the group. All
in all the Julliard StringQuartet,
consisting of Robert Mann, first
violin, Earl Carlyss, second vio-
lin, Raphael Hillyer, viola, and
Claus Adams, cello, was a mag-
nificent success,

Intermedia ’68: Audience
Participation At Its Best

by Robert B. Cutty

INTERMEDIA ’68 is intended
primarily to expose.students to
all the various new theories
that have arisen in the different
arts. Thus, one of the main con-
cepts that the program has been
and will continue to be empha-
sizing is ‘mixed media,’”

Last Wednesday, the first of
the “artists” scheduled to per-
form in the INTERMEDIA series
arrived. No, he did not himself
perform at all, he merely ar-
rived, (Which is to say, he de
monstrated an appearance rather
than an act, play, concert, art
showing, or what-have-you),

This person, Dick Higgins, di-
rected, conducted, and super-
vised the audience in various
sketches of dubious artistic
worth and little comprehensible
meaning or importance. (1
again repeat, Higgins did no-
thing himself but join in what
the audience was doing).

This is what the audience per-
formed: a “Giant Flute Ensem-
ble” (the audience ‘‘overblew”
a lot of cheap, Chinatown wood
flutes); a “Giant Dance En
semble” (the audience performed
various exercises to some cle-
verly ironic music selections).

A “Giant Silk Screen En
semble” (the audience, ‘“coor-
dinated by Alison Knowles,’? Hig-
gins’ wife, printed some silk
sereen designs on a plain white
bolt of poster paper); a Giant
Examination Ensemble’? (the aud-
ience wrote down questions on
“any subject”? and Higgins read
these “thoughts” back to them),

“The Giants’ (the audience
was given some two hundred-or-
so lit incense sticks and they
waved these around in the dark
like uninhibited children for
nearly a quarter of an hour),
Then the audience helped Hig-
gins in a “Clean-Up, performed
and coordinated by Dick Hig-
gins,’

In other words, Higgins’ per-
formance consisted simply in
describing to the audience anum-
ber of “group art happenings’?
that they should perform, This
of course implies a absolute
lack of talent on Higgins’ part,
@liggins, however, does write;
his “printing songs’? are just
that: lectures on printing),

Further, if these writings are
any example of the only ‘talent’?
he does possess, then it is clear
that my supposition is entirely
correct. Truly, one can say of
Higgins’ appearance that its
artistic merit depended on how
successful the audience was in
entertaining the performer.

And, then, of course, there
were Korean ‘composer (7) and
musician (?¥? Nam June Paik
and cellist Charlotte Moorman,
who gave a concert last Saturday
night to a packed house (until
the intermission) in the Art Gal-
lery (kudos to the Gallery staff
for their patience),

Simple reporting of what took
place should suffice for anample
commentary, Entrance music
was played softly while the
audience entered, (Though they
couldn’t hear it, this was quite
all right, for Paik assured us
that this music “was written to
be not noticed’’).

One musical piece consisted
of a tape recording of the fir-
ing of guns, shells, cannons, and
rockets. In another, Miss Moor-
man merely struck, stroked, and
slouched all over her prostrate,
electrified (iterally) cello.

Two other ‘numbers’? were
so ridiculously executed as to be
completely unbelievable: in the
“Cut Piece” the audience was
invited to cut up Miss Moor-

For the ‘Variations No. 2

on a Theme by Saint Saens’?
the ‘variations’ consisted of
Miss Moorman’s getting up in
the middle of the playing of
the theme and immersing her-
self in an ofl drum filled with
water; then, dripping wet, she
finished playing the theme.

In “Instrumental Music,’?
Miss Moorman lay on the stage
while her cello was mounted upon
her. Paik then covered her with
a red cloth and had the lights
turned out; during this interval
of time, Paik conducted a “pray-
er for peace by having the
audience open and close its eyes
for several minutes,

One doesn’t know who to con+
demn more: Paik, after all, got
a lot of laughs, but Higgins’
group art happenings were un-
conventional -enough to please
some of the small audience,
though only for a short time.

Where Is Music Going?

Fourth Time Around

by Igor Koroluk

I don’t know if it is just me,
but it seems as if there is
nothing exciting happening in the
realm of popular music. We have
been so bombarded with new
styles, groups, and innovations,
that I think we have become call-
ous to it all; and, as for me,
I am looking for a new direc-
tion.

West Coast has had its day
with its fug, feedback, and funk,
Every new group has incorpor-
ated those readily identifiable
aspects of the sound so that
what was creative has now be-
come standard, if not a cliche,

Of the valid groups, only the
Cream and Beatles have shown
any inspiration in recent weeks,
“(Lady Modonna” could be the
only new sound around, and it
probably is the best Beatle re-
lease since “Strawberry
Fields.”

What’s happened to the Doors?
Why is Jefferson Airplane so
hung up on that one sound? Why
are album covers getting better
while the inside products seems
to deteriorate?

Finally, I think it is a case
of over-exposure, and the music
business, especially album pro-
ducers (with a few very import-
ant exceptions), has become so
commercially oriented that the
consumer is not getting a chance
to hear or be heard,

For example, Capitol Records
released an album with Jimi
Hendrix and Curtis Knight with
a picture of Hendrix and his
mame dropped over the cover,
Well, the album is a dud—Hen-
drix was nothing more than a
sessions man and the quality of
the cuts could be called mediocre
at best.

Capitol saw it as a good money

making venture to capitalize on
Hendrix’s success by pulling out
some of these old tapes and push-
ing them off on the buying public,
Beware, even the big record
companies do not necessarily
have your interests in mind,

Tambellini has used primarily
television to express his crea-
tive ideas. In December of 1967,
ABC-TV presented his ‘Black
TV” which used two televisions
simultaneously for a complete
“audio-visual bombardment” of
the home audience.

The Howard Wise Gallery, as
part of their ‘Festival of
Lights,” from December, 1967
to January, 1968, presented
“Black Video 1.’ In this show,
Tambellini was specifically con-

Today, these positions have

Somehow, neither of these
views have ever been realized,
either in the past or in the
present. There is an interesting
analogy which can be drawnfrom
the two stands though, no matter
which side takes them.

Noninvolvement is basically

This writer sat next to Betz

at which today’s hand was taken,

Kaplan was north, Betz south,
and although the new pair didn’t
do extremely well overall, Betz
had his moments and this was one,

The game was match points,
so overtricks are very important.

_ Through a good line of play and
some nice deception, Betz
managed to make four heart on

The play went as follows:

Now come the key, For his
double, West figures to have the

spades and a club, West must be
end-played. But before this can be
done, Betz had to steal a club
trick. So he led the club tenfrom

West, thinking his partner
might have the queen, played low.
Now a spade toward dummy’s

or give up two spade tricks.
A diamond ruff put Betz back on

Now, west had come down to
four cards. He chose to throw
his last diamond, keeping ace
and another spade and king and
another club, but he was finished,
Ace of clubs followed by the

had to make his king of spades,

THE LACROSSE TEAM IS already in full gear, with outdoor

practices daily.

Lacrosse Club Looks
Toward New Season

The Albany State Lacrosse
Club has been working.out for
several weeks. Fifty-five men
signed up for the club and twenty-
eight to thirty have been attend-
ing the workouts regularly,

Coach Silvey is pleased with
the turnout, He feels the clubhas
a good number of experienced
players and many of the inexper-
ienced players are making fine
progress.

The experienced players in-
clude Mike Baroletta, Jim Flan-
igan, Steve Jackaway and Kevin
Sheehan on attack and Mark Wer-
der, Dan Grenen and Bruce Sand
at midfield. There are no exper-
ienced defensemen, but Dave Rie-
gel, Mike Drexel, Mike Goldych
and Mike Warner show promise
at this position. Larry Smith, a

converted attack player and Joel
Aroeste are most likely to play
goalie, The club has not scrim-
maged as yet and starting play-
ers and their positions are not
definite.

Games are tentatively sched-
uled with the Union Frosh away,
April 17; the Cobleskill Lacrosse
Club at home April 27; the R.P.I.
Frosh at home May 1; Tri Cit-
ies Lacrosse Club at home May
4; Siena Frosh at home May 11;
and with Cobleskill away May 18.
The club is negotiating for addi-
tional games.

Mr. Silvey feels that the team
is working hard. He looks for-
ward to a successful season and
the development of the lacrosse
club into a full-fledged varsity
team.

Spring Soccer Starts
Booters Victorious

Coach Bill Schieffelin was ex-
tremely happy with the perform-
ances of his two seven man
teams in Sunday’s indoor soccer
tournament held at the Washing~
ton Ave. Armory in Schenectady.

The tournament included ten
teams; two each from the Amity
Soccer Club of Schenectady, and
Albany State University, and
one each from Little Falls, Utica,
Amsterdam and RPI, The Albany
Sports Club, and the Albany Sons
of Italy were also represented.

“A” Team Wins 2-1

The Great Danes A team pull-
ed a real upset in their opener
as they downed the Little Falls
squad by a 2-1 count, with Phil
Kahn and Craig Springer scor-
ing for Albany. The A team was
eliminated in the second round
by a strong Amsterdam squad,
but their one win was very en-
couraging in view of the fact
that the majority of the opposi-
tion were foreign born, highly
experienced soccer players.

The Albany State B team was

eliminated in the first round,
put so-was the powerful RPI
contingent.

Although the games were rath-
er informal, with only fifteen
minute halfs, and no kickoffs,
it was a good opener for Al-
bany’s new spring soccer pro-
gram. The squad presently
is planning on 7 or 8 practice
games with Union, RPI and Hud-
son Valley, starting late in April
and continuing through May.

Schieffelin pleased

Coach Schieffelin’s comments
on the program were all favor-
able. He stated that the program
has the team thinking soccer,
working with weights and run-
ning at a time when they used
to have to work entirely on their
own.

Obviously this sort of program
can only help, as it gives the
freshmen prospects a chance to
be incorporated into the line.

ing date some time next fall.

State Sports Ten Lettermen
Catcher Is Biggest Problem

by Jim Winslow

With the spring sports season fast approaching, coach Bob Burlingame’s baseball
lettermen and hopefuls are beginning to appear on the Albany State diamonds. Their

little over three weeks away, the team roster is beginning to take
Jt centers around 10 returning lettermen; five pitchers, three infielders and

two outfielders. Heading the list are the two senior co-captains, Denny Elkin and Jim

first game only
shape.
Murley.

Elkin, a two - letter
man, is the solid short-
stop for  Burlingame’s

starting nine. Denny also
serves time at first base

and is available for spot
pitching. He will be batting clean-
up and the coach has dubbed
him ‘my best long-ball hitter.’?
Murley is a transfer from Hud-
son Valley Community College
last years he and Elkin combin-
ed for a team high of 15 runs
batted in, Known as the “flee”
to his teammates, Jim will lead
off and play centerfield,

Sinnott Most Valuable

Leading the infield lettermen
is junior first baseman Jack
Sinnott. Jack was voted the
“Most Valuable Player’ of last
year’s squad. He led the team
with a batting average which
coach Burlingame called, ‘‘not
spectacular, but decent.??

Returning at the second base
position is senior Paul Leonetti,
Paul, is a transfer from Rockland
Community College, at the end of
his sophomore year, whose men-
tor characterizes him as ‘‘the
best glove man we have.’’ Paul
will most likely bat second.

Stein Breaks into Lineup

The other outfielder returning
is junior Art Stein, the super-
sub of last year’s team who
ended up starting almost every
game for an injured or sick
regular.

Pitching Strong Point

The pitching corps is the
strongest point on the squad,
sporting five returnees.

Heading the list of chuckers
is senior Tom Egelston, a right
hander whose specialty is beat-
ing Rensselaer Polytechnic In-
stitute, He has beaten them
twice in two years while regis-
tering only one other victory,

Another senior with the most

Galka Best Percentage

impressive won-loss average last
year (3-2) is Cas Galka, Cas,
a right hander, transferred to
State from Hudson Valley along
with Jim Murley.

George Webb, another righty,
returns with a string of ‘tough
luck’ decisions behind him, Af-
ter shutting out Brooklyn Col-
lege last year, George pitched
one run ball against powerful
Central Connecticut State for
nine frames only to lose when
he tired in the tenth,

Senior Tom Piotrowski heads
the list of left handers, Tom
is mainly used as a reliever and
will probably continue in that
capacity,

Smooth-working Richie Patrel
rounds out the letter winners.
Coach Burlingame looks for
Richie to be much improved over
last year after playing some
fine summer ball.

Deficiencies, as pointed out
by the coach are a catcher, a
third baseman, and one or two
outfielders.

Gary Torino, a returning let-
terman and first - string catcher
chose to join the track squad
this year leaving a big hole at
that spot, Graduations have
taken their toll in the others,

In future articles the State
hopefuls from last year’s frosh
squad will be highlighted as well
as an overall look at this year’s
tough schedule.

The entire gym, the pool included is now open for the stu-

dents to get in shape.

New Athletic Building
Has Many Facilities

The Physical Education Build-
ing which has just opened is a $3.5
million complex which offers a
wide choice of activities to the
student.

The Main Gym, which will be
used for all varsity events, has
a total floor space of 112’ x 174”
with all the bleachers folded back
into the wall. For varsity com-
petition, the bleachers are roll-
ed into position and offer a seat-
ing capacity of 3,000 people. For
open activity and intramurals,
however, the gym will havethree
full-length basketball courts, 5
volleyball courts, and 8 bad-
minton courts. In order to ac-
commodate the members of the
press during athletic contests,
there is a special press box
at one end of the center court.

Swimming Pool Impressive

A second outstanding aspect of
this building is its collegiate-
size swimming pool. Measuring
75x43 feet, the pool has a capa-
city of 200,000 gallons of water
which circulate at the rate of
4,030 gallons a minute. For var-
sity competition, the pool is set
up with six racing lanes as well
as two one-meter diving boards
and one three-meter board.

To supplement the main gym,
there are also two auxiliary gyms
which will be used primarily for
gymnastic activities, including
rope climbing, flying rings,
trampolines and other activities.
In addition to these facilities,
there is also a special wrestl-
ing room for the practicing and
conditioning of the teams.

Facilities Varied

The diversity of facilities is
further exemplified by the pres-
ence of a dance studio room,
four handball courts, four squash
courts, and two special exercise
rooms, one of which houses an
exercising apparatus which can
be used by anyone wishing to

improve the vondition of his body.~

The men’s locker room has fa~
cilities for 1,300 students, plus
four varsity sports and three
visiting team locker rooms. The
women’s locker room has 2,500
lockers plus one home and one
visiting team room.

Also included is a complete
training room with facilities for
handling as many types of injur-
ies as could conceivably come
up during the course of a sea~
son. There are also two dif-
ferent class rooms for physical
education classes and enough of-
fice space to satisfy the needs
of the entire athletic staff.

Probably the most important
aspect of this building is that
the coaches and staff have final-
ly teached the point where all
the particular facilities are cen-
tralized into one location, With
this centralization, it will be
much easier for the coaches to
co-ordinate not only their coach-
ing efforts, but also their re-
cruiting.

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

Friday, March 22, 1968

by Duncan Nixon
Sports Editor

Scheduling was the number one topic at the sports-
writers luncheon held at the Campus Center on Monday.
As everyone knows, the scheduling controversy stems
from the fact that our basketball team was denied an
NCAA regional berth because of its “‘weak’’ schedule.

This problem is indeed a serious one. The present
schedules are certainly not of the cream-puff variety.
The soccer team takes on Bridgeport, and other powers,
and the cross country team faces LeMoyne annually,
and has Cornell set for next year. The wrestling team
also takes on several perennial powerhouses, including
Maritime, Cortland and Montclair, while the basketball
team regularly beats the state schools whose conference
winner gets an automatic NCAA bid. Also included on the
schedule this season were Williams, U.B., Ithaca, and
Central and Southern Connecticut. Unfortunately this was
not good enough for the selection committee; they would
obviously like to see us go big time, but that is easier
said than done. The Ivy League schools snub us as a
mere state school, and others, at some distance, seem
to feel that the trip is not worth it. Although both ex-
cuses are lame ones the fact remains that they are
used, and it will take some time to counteract them.
Obviously a “‘big time’’ schedule cannot be achieved
over night. s

Although our basketball team has been highly success-
ful recently, another question about high powered schedul-
ing must be considered. How far can we go without
athletic scholarships? Doc Sauers has been very fortun-
ate recently, as he has gathered some top notch talent in
the past few years, but there is no guarantee that the
same talent will be forthcoming indefinitely. Coach Garcia
had a fine wrestling team last year, but this season he ran
into hard times.

Recruiting at this school is certainly not easy. How
would you like to try to find: honor roll students who
are good enough to get full scholarships, and can also be
convinced to come to Albany. This is a tall order.

And from the looks of things, there is little financial
help in the offing. The trustees of the State University
recently came out flatly against the ‘‘distortion’’ that
would result from athletic scholarships, and the Alumni
have neither the money nor the motivation. This is cer-
tainly an unfortunate situation, for without athletic
scholarships, the University will expand and the sports
program will be left behind.

The problem apparently is to provide a means of fund-
ing scholarships that does not result in ‘‘distortion.”’
This would call for a reorganization, and revitalization
of the present scholarship set-up, but such a revision
might not be such a bad idea.

As the competition for outstanding students increases
and the University improves, the sports departments
dilemma may become more universal. The low tuition and
improving faculty are bound to draw top notch students,
but the really exceptional students will continue to be
attracted to the prestigious private schools, where they
will be offered full scholarship grants.

Thus it might be a good idea to start a full payment
scholarship program for the entire State system, with
say.50 or more scholarships for each University Center,
to be distributed at the discretion of the school. These
grants might all be given strictly on the grounds of
academic excellence, or some of them could be meted out
to the various departments. This way the art, music, and
dramatic arts departments would all be able to attract
students who met the entrance requirements, and also
showed outstanding promise in these non-academic areas.
While, a further expansion of this concept could result in
scholarships in such fields as communications, or even
athletics.

Obviously this policy calls for a drastic revision of the
astate’s scholarship program, but if it were incorporated
into the present regents scholarship program, it might
lessen the hit and miss. nature of the present policy.

Future

by Don Oppedisano

Despite the disappointment
over not being selected to play
in the NCAA Northeastern Re-
gional Tournament, the Albany
State basketball team can look
back on the 1967-68 season with
the pride which comes with the
knowledge of a job well done.
Further, the underclassmen, fans
and coach Dick Sauers can look
forward to next year, when a
solid returning nucleus should
produce another strong team,

Two school records were brok-
en, three tied and one extended
by this winter’s 18-4 club. Rich
Margison, Albany’s 6-1 junior
star from Cortland and who was
recently named to the Divison 2
ECAC All-East squad, account-
ed for several of the changes in
the record book, His 195 field
goals erased the old mark of 193
set by Don Cohen seven years
ago and his 16 field goals against
Pratt tied Gary Holway’s stan-
dard established in 1957, In ad-
dition, Rich extended his streak
of scoring double figures to 43
games, becoming the second play-
er to hit twin digits every game
two different years.

Albany’s 14 consecutive victor-
ies, achieved over a two-and-one-
half month period, scratched the
record of 12 straight by the 1964-
65 club, By topping the century
mark three times, this year’s
team equalled the accomplish-
ments of their 1958-59 predeces-
sors, Finally, the team’s winning

season marked the 13th straight
year of .500 or better basketball
at Albany, extending that record,

Margison, whose 514 points
and 23,4 scoring average both
were second best in Albany his-
tory, will head an impressive
Ust of returning veterans for
the 1968-69 campaign, Also com-
ing back are starters Scott Price
who averaged 15.9 points and 11.4
rebounds a game and Jack Adams
who averaged 10 ppg his
sophomore season. In addition,
Bob Wood who was scoring 10.7
ppg as a starter, before being
sidelined after the season’s ninth
game, should be back next year,
along with 6-1 junior Jim Caver-
ly who averaged 7.0 as areserve
and saw as much action as most
of the regulars,

This year’s freshmen willalso
make some valuable contri-
butions. Jack Jordan hit for a
24 point per game average, and
could become a valuable asset.
While Jim Doyle and Joel Volin-
ski may also help out.

Potter Bombs Shafts
Remain Unscored Upon

Ray McCloat led the way with
a 591 triple last Saturday as
the Potter club keglers remain-
ed unbeaten, registering an im-
pressive 7-0 win over the pre-
viously unbeaten Shaffts. In this
head to head battle of the lead-
ers Potter came through in fly-
ing colors, as all five bowlers
hit 500 or better, The match real-
ly was not even close, Potter
took the first game by an over-
whelming 971 to 835, the Shafts
were closest in the second game,
but not close enough as Potter
won by a 37 pin margin, In the
final game. The Clubscored very
well again, winning by an im-
pressive 916-853 count,

APA also faired pretty well
as they scored two perfect 7-0
wins last week to jump from
fifth to third in the standings,
John Naumowitz led the way for
APA as he recorded a phenome-
nal 673 triple, far and away the
best score recorded to date,
