“The best of the East, the best of
the East” was the chant out of the
Daneslocker roomafter the football
team defeated Alfred 7-6 in their
biggest game ever, Water flowed like
champagne over the mud-caked
tired bodies of the players as there

exuberance all over the
locker-room,

The players had every right to
boast as they beat one of the best
small college football teams in the
East and this resulted in the Danes
being canked second only to Hhaca
in the weekly Lambert Bowl voting,

The game was decided for all in=
tents and purposes on one pl
Alfred hus just scored, leaving them
‘one point behind with six and a half
minutes to go, The Saxons choose to

verted it would haye given Alfred the
ballgame, as Albany's offense awas
going nowhere,

Alfred quarterback Chris Kristoff
fired the ball but Albany’s secondary
converged to knock the football
away from an open receiver to keep
Albany in front. When questioned
about Alfred's strategy Couch Ford
said “In that situation you must go
Jor the win, | would have done'the
same thing,

It was the defense that won the
game for the Danes, Led by pro
prospect Rudy Vido, the defense was

allowing Alfred only
first downs in the second half
constantly bottled up the Sux-
con's running attack with their gre
pursuit and the defense completely
shut off Alfred's highly touted pass=
ing attack, the secondary was out=
standing as Billy Brown, Arnie Will
and Donnie Mion all had a hand in
key fumble tecoveries or intercep~
tions,

Defensive star Rudy Vido
couldn't have been any happier with
the game, “We played our finest op-
ponent ever. We really got- it
together, The team moved well tothe
ball.”

Perhaps the biggest defensive hero
for the Danes was punter Mike
Marrin, Martin constantly put the
Danes out of potential danger with
his punts of about forty yards.

On the offensive side, things were
dismal, Alfred Coach Alex
Yunevich's philosophy om how to
stop Albany's wishborie was simple:
get the quarterback, And that is ex-
‘actly what his team did, as Albany's
starting signal caller John Bertuzzi
was injured in the Ist quarter, put-
ting him out of action for amonth,

That left things upto sophomore

terback Dave Ahonen. Facinga
tough Alfred.delense, Ahonen, who
had limited college experience, had a
treat deal of trouble moving the ball
He fumbled the ball nine times

“Ltried'to do the best | could,” said
Ahonen after the game, “I would like
to try it ona dry day, Most of the
fumbles were caused by a pretty wet
field und Alfred’s tough defense.”
Perhaps inexperience and ner-
vousness must ulso be attributed to
some of those fumbles,

Bertuzzi Hurt

he game was played in a constant
pouring rain, Coach Ford described
the field's condition as “wetter than
Hell." Alfred won the (oss and
elected to receive. This was a
questionable move because of the
poor conditions,

Alfred's Scott Herring recvived
the opening kickoff and moved up
field with the ball. He was met with
jarring tackle by Arnie Will and the
ball squirted loose. R

the ball and the Danes had excellent
field position inside the thirty.

Thid was“ the set-tip Ford wi
waiting for. Using the halfback op-
tion pass, he inserted Ahonen into
the halfback’s stot. The pitch went to
Ahonen. His pass found Bob Baxter
wide open in the end zone for the
Danes'only score of the day. Kicker
.AI Martin converted the extra point
for what proved to be the margin of
victory.

From then on it was a defensive
struggle. The third time Albany had
the ball, they showed signs of mov-
ing as Bertuzzi was handling the
wishbone excellently. But suddenly
Bertuzzi was on the sidelines with an
icepack on his dislocated finger and
thé spark seemed to go out of the
Danes. Aside from a dropped pass
by Baxter near the end zone, Albany
mounted little offense the rest of the
way,

Things really got hot in the fourth
quarter. With the Danes facing a
third and long on its sixteen, the call
was a quick kick, The piteh was poor

The Albany State cross-country
team has once again proved their
high caliber of cunning this past
weekend, by upsetting a powerful
Army squad at a triangular match
with Syracuse

It was a most rewarding and
satisfying meet for the Albany
harriersas they have been looking
forward to facing Army with a quiet
determination ever since last year's
defeat. The scoring done at 2 dual
cneets showed Albany topping Army
25-32, while §: came away
with all the marblesdowning Albany
22-35 and Army 25-36

“My God, it was a thrill, *
claimed Couch Bob Munsey, "Army
takes its losses really hard, It just
floored them.”

The meet was ran over a 5.2 mile
course and according to Coach
Munsey, “A very, very hard course
to sun.” ‘The times were very sur-
prising however, despite the overcast
conditions and strong, gusty winds,

‘Army placed their wo top
three year veteran Dennis Trujillo
and former New York State cham-
pion Bob Alitz across the line
together with a winning time of

ja and Carlo Cherubino
fourth and sixth respectively with
times of 27:36 and 27:49.

An indication of the im-
pressiveness of these times is shown
by their ranking in the top 25 times
ever recorded over the Drumlins
Golf Course, since its completion in
1946.

“Vinnie Reda with his time, ran
hard enough to get 15th best,” stated
Couch Munsey while "Cherubino
ran hard enough to get the 19th best
time ever.”

Very s were
grabbed for Albany by Chris Burns,
W0th, with a time of 28:09, Herb
Hason, 12ih, with a time of 28:31
and freshman Steve Archer, 13th,
with a 28:55.

“Et looks fike an upset but the way
we ran it, it wasn't, " said Munsey.
Supporting this claim is the almost
unbelievable fact that Albany placed
five men ahead of Army's third!

“We were undressed, showered
and sleeping by the time they got
their 4th and Sth men across," laugh-
ed Coach Munsey.

Reflecting on the race, Munsey
said, “They went-out like a bullet
with a 4:45 mile on a hilly,
windswept golf course, When | saw

Cherubino and Reda leading the
pack | just about lost my cookies

revealed, "Reda got a little lost on

as Army, but Syracuse was able to

Thieu, Amnesty
And Aid Assailed

by Ed Moser

On Wednesday about two dozen
people staged a so-called silent
demonstration at the front of the
Capitol Building in Albany. The
group, which brandished placards
and piissed out leaflets, questioned
United States policy in regards to the
Vieinam conflict. Demands were
raised calling for unconditional
amnesty, an end to the torturing of
political opponents by the Thiew
regime, and a halt to American aid to
South Vietnam,

There were three official sponsors
of the event, These were the Inter~
national Women's League of
Friendship and Peace, a local

ization, and Albany

A few ine
joined the

terested outsiders

members of these groups in the
protest ({the participants were mixed
in age; most were students although
there were about a half dozen people
in their fifties and sixties),

The demonstrators seemed to
realize that their efforts would
probably go unh “Well, we
won't affect the government very
much, but someone has to at least
make some kind of stand,” said one
protester.

The peuceful, uneventful rally
lasted for an hour, from twelve to
one in the afternoon. Throughout it
there fell a rather heavy rain, which
kept down attendance and plagued
the efforts of certain reporters, who
could not writedown any comments
about the allair om their drenched
writing pads.

“Heroin is, in fact. a rather bland
drug," claims Glasser, Unlike
alcohol, nicotine, and over-cating,
heavy doses of heroin over 20 years

, under legal and safe con-
ditions, has no degenerative effects.
What makes this concept so difficult
for most people to understand says
Glasser, is the stereotypic image of

Wiegality of drug, not drug itself
Despite what most people think, it
is the illegality of the drug itself, that
has actually forced its users to live
the way they do. And similarly, itis

= the illegality of the drug that

prevents it from being regulated in
any way, One result of this is that
heroin sold on the street is generally
only about 2% pure, the rest of it be
ing harmless powder or sometimes
other drugs which injected with
heroin, can be fatal, In fact, accor-
ding to Glasser, it is ‘usually this
lethal mixing of other drugs with the
heroin that produces symptoms
erroneously termed by doctors asan
dose. Tests have shown that itis
exceedingly difficult to get an over-
dose of heroin and virt
ble to do so with the
mixture that is sold on the street,
In ths past, heroin was sold o
the counter as a tranquilizer and

pai a

century was the drug.made illegal,
‘And strangely enough, it was not un-
til the early 20th century that its
umge and subsequent’ addicition
became a big social problem. infact,
there were more heroin addicts in
our country during the 18th and 19th
centruries than there are today,
However, in those days, heroin ad-
diction was viewed no differently
than alcoholism or nicotine addic-
tion ‘are today. The difference that
has made the heroin addict a
national problem, according to
Glasser, is the illegality of what he
does: “The law creates the criminal-
in fact, the law creates the crime.”

“Crime without complaints”

The usage and/or selling of heroin
is what Glasser refers to as a “crime
without complaints.” In other
words, it is a private type of crime,
meaning that the police must resort
to various techniques of surveillance
(i.e. wiretapping) in order to enforce
it, Glasser feels that, for this
reason, in addition to the fuets that it
has failed to prohibit its usage and
has created a black market, our pre=
sent drug law should bé done away

Citing Rocky's new "get tough” _

Glasser went on to comment upon °
the real reason for making this law:

“this law was ‘ever conceived of,

Rockefeller had private polls taken
which showed that the two greatest

up with what turned out tobe dne of

icult to say exactly how
successful he was in creating this im=

Ukrainian Ice Festival in Troy
Mostly Soviet, Durback Alleges

by Rick McRobert

Last week at the RPI Fieldhouse, the Ukrainian,
Festival on Ice was presented as an opportunity for
Americans to become acquainted with one aspect of the
Ukrainian culture, But some felt the audience was
witnessing an illusion of cultural independence.

‘Andrew Durbak, a member of the Ukrainian Con-
gress Committee, said that when he asked the promoter
of the festival in Troy how many Ukrainians were actual-
ly in the show, the answer was “almost all.” But upon in-
specting the list of numes on the program, Mr. Durbak
concluded that only six out of the eighty performers were
definitely Ukrainian, There are such performing troupes
all over the USSR, buttnstéad of sending one that is all
Ukrainian, the Soviets have sent performers from
different countries within the Soviet Union and called it
4 Ukrainian festival, Durbak compared it to presenting a
German festival direct from England

‘Asked what difference this makes so long us the Ukrai-
nian culture is accurately reflected, he Said, it is a very
entertaining show but only a few of the routines are
Ukrainian, the rest being primarily Russian, The Rus-
sian flag hung conspicuously over the spectators rather
than its Ukrainian counterpart. It is also a fact that the
show is only being performed in minor cities where the

They wouldn't dare put it on in New York, said Dur-
bak, but it is safe here where probably only a couple hun-

‘The welcome mat is being readied
on the campus of State University of
New York at Albany for the third an-
nual Community-University Day on
Saturday, Oct. 5, when attendance °
is expected to top last year's mark of
more than 12,000 people. Open
house activities will begin at 10:30
a.m, and continue until 5:30.

President Louis T. Benezet has
issued an invitation to the communi-
ty at large (o attend and enjoy the
more than 125 events scheduled.
Said President Benezet, “For this
third annual Community - Universi-
ty Day we should like to think that
many of our fellow citizens have
Visited the SUNYA campus and
know something of its attractions.
Like any human show, it changes
from year to year. We hope you will
‘come back and bring your families.

“For the newcomers to the region
or to the University Center”, he con-
tinued, “I offer the most cordial in-
vitiution to come and see for
yourselves ‘the almost endless ways
in which a moderncampusis prepar-
ing young people for modern life and
at the same time exploring the paths
of new knowledge. We shall be
delighted to welcome you on Satur-
day, October Sth”,

One of the many highlightsof the
day will be an outdoor musical
program entitled “Mostly Marches"
to be presented by the University
Wind Ensemble at 1:30 p.m. on the
Academic Podium. Charles Boito,
of the music faculty, will conduct.

Featuring « variety of both well-
known und lesser-known marches
from around the world, the program
promises to be “rather spirited and

rolled for

invigorating,” said Mr. Boito. He
addea ‘that the concert should have
an added appeal by virtue of its being
presented outdoors.

‘The composers to be represented
are Byrd, Beethoven, Hanssen,
Strauss, Teike, APord, Sousa,

Williams, Bagley, Boc-
calari, Chambers, Fillmore, Fucik,
Hall, Lithgow, Waner, Ives, King,

Of particular ‘interest in the
department of chemistry will be a
look .at how chemical energy
theoretically is converted into mo-
tion, Shown will bean original mo-
tion picture cartoon which
represents the solution of the con-
tinuum equations of the mechanics
of pseudopodium extension in an

designed to help solve political

‘tim of Community-University Day
as imparting an overwhelmingly
positive experience on the commun

Those Curbs Can Be a Big
Step for a Wheelchair User

The “Students for the Improve-
ment of Programs for the Han-
dicapped,” (S.1.P.H.), at the SUNY
at Albany Campus will be spon-
soring the Second Annual Campus
Awareness Day on Thursday, Oc-
tober 10.

Beginning the extensive day of in-
tended awareness of program and
architectural impediments facing a
disabled student attending SUNYA
will be the Opening Day Ceremony.
Scheduled to begin promptly at 9
A.M. in front of the Campus Center,
the ceremony will be centered
around a panel of a dozen key ad-
ministrators and staff—all volun-
tarily in  wheelchairs—who have
been selected for the event as in-
terested representatives of respective
campus areas of needed architec-
tural modification or program
change. A welcomeand introduction
to the day's events will be given by Al
De Graff, President of S.1.P.H. Ad-
dresses will then be given by Stephen
Cotler, Project Coordinator of the
S.U.N.Y. Construction Fund, and
Dr. Louis Benezet, President of
S.ULN.Y, at Albany.

The remainder of the day will in-
clude activities and demonstrations
‘aimed at the day's objective of bring-
ing awareness to the communities of
the University and off-campus
locale. Administrators, faculty.
staff, and students will take part in
two main day-long projects, Close to
fifty wheelchairs have been donated
from community organizations to
enable as many of the University
community to spend a full day of
normal activities from wheelchair
mobility. The second project, also
involving volunteers, will enable the
nondisabled to spend time about the
campus, “seeing” it as those with
sight disabilities do each day. This
will be made possible by outfitting
those interested with visual
occluders and white canes. These
suppliesas well as expert instruction
regarding their use, will be provided
by personnel from an otl-campus

ney for the visually impaired

An information center located in-
side the Campus Center will be
munned by members of S.1.P.H.,

professional faculty and staff
members connected with rebubilita-
tion education and service for the
campus, and members of the Wheels
to Independence, a quite active off-
campus organization whose con-
cerns run much along with those of
S.LP.H. This information center
will answer any questions regarding
the architectural and programatic
advantages and impediments facing
4 student with any physical disability
attending SUNYA as well us those
regarding handicaps and disabilities
in general.

Demonstrations of facilities and
special devices which aid the dis-
abled student will algo take place. At
aan aftemoon time tobe announced
that morning, an awareness seminar
will take place in the Campus Center
Assembly Room for all interested,
Questionnaires given to each
volunteer of the two projects will

Center on October 7,8, and 9 for
anyone who may wish to volunteer

of the two projects.

The State University of New York

«at Albany has become a leader, both
nationally and internationally, in its
many innovations to higher educa~
tion, say S.1.P.H, leaders, It is the in-
tention of Campus Awareness Day
to add yet another dimension to this
leadership: that of architectural and
programatic accessibility to those of
various physical disabilities who are
secking such an atmosphere which
enables furthering an education to
whatever level is desired.

individual plants do not contain protein ‘with all eight of the essential ansini
acidé, but that combining different foods (like cereal grains and beans) will
yield complete protein equal in’ qualiv to, meat,

The greatest risk vegetarians face, the committee wamed, comes from
heavy reliance on a single plant food source like'a cereal grain or starchy root
crop as in the Zen Macrobiotic Diet,

To ensure proper nutrition the study recommended that vegetarians con-
sume two daily servings of high-protein meat alternatives like legumes, nuts,
Peanut butter, dairy products or eggs. Those who exclude dairy products:
form their diets should add liberal amounts of dark green, leafy vegetables or
fortified soybean mitk as sources of calcium and riboflavin,

The! National Academy study was the first concession by the scientific
establishment to the research on “protein complementarity” presented by
Francis Moore Lappe in henbook Diet Fora Small Planet. in that 1971

ppe first presented the notion that foods cont
can be combined to complement each other and produce A complet protein
amino acid configuration.

In another study the National Cancer Institute concluded that vegetari
may be less susceptible to cancer than meat eaters.

To set a proper control the institute compared the cancer rate among non-
drinking, non-smoking Mormons with that among non-drinking, non-
smoking and non-meat-eating Seventh Day Adventists, Preliminary con-
clusions of the five year study are that meat-eating Mormons have twice the
cancer rate of the vegetarian Adventists,

University Professionals have successfully undermined their own posi-

tion at their respective colleges. Arguing “job security,” thenewUUP contract will seal
the fate'of hundreds of teachers whose only hope for appeal of negative

‘decisions occurs when students and faculty present a unified strong front to thecollege

level and university level appointments:and tenure committees. yi 3 i

Because of the new contract, students will no longer be able to vote on tehure com- ‘=

ittees such as the Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointments or:the’
dividual college level committees such as those for Arts and Sciences, Mathem
‘and others, Their input will now be merely advisory, and the decisions made finally, by
Vice-President for Academic Affairs Philip Sirotkin and President Benezet
haye to answer to a divided faculty. : :

It isn't necessary to point out the cases when the faculty of a department gave a
tenure candidate high recommendations, only to find that the chairman, or the Dean of
the Division or College submitted an undeserved and uncomplimentary letter of
recommendation to the CPCA. There were many cases, usually involving professors
whose students’ ratings were the highest and whose respect among the faculty was
great, but whose views did not necessarily match those of the administration, that
found themselves the object of unwarranted attacks on their reputations and dismissal
of their services, The result of the union contract will mean that any decision reached
by the faculty will have that much less teeth in it without student input.

To be sure, the administration isn't given the power to vote on tenure recommen-
dations either, but this provision makes the contract that much more dangerous to
faculty. It will enable administrators whose dedication to the higher principles of
education is questionable, at best, to excuse themselves from their own actions. Thus,
should another Carolyn Waterman case come up again this year, Dean Richard Ken-
dall will have the perfect excuse to exert a de facto veto of any faculty committeedeci-
sion.

SUNYA faculty should be highly commended for their progressive stance on this
issue, fighting the proposal from its inception. It is truly unfortunate that we are the
only university to benefit from their insight into true matters of academic concem. The
contract is binding on this university for two years. During this time, close faculty-
student interactioh will be crucial if we are to preserve any measure of excellence in
teaching.

Visiting Day At the Zoo

‘The Podiumis under repair, The pillars are getting cleaned and scraped. The gravel
roads surrounding the quads and the podium are getting aface lift. The campus is get-
ting more thoroughly cleaned each day. Has the state suddenly found more money to
give the university? Have the priorities of the Administration gone astray? Hardly, for
Saturday is October 5, and the annual faree of Community University Day isabout to
descend upon this campus for yet another time.

Three hundred sixty-four days a year this campus goes about the normal business of
running itself as an institution of higher educaiton, But on C-U day, it is like a cancer
cell just coming alive, It goes berserk,

Albany will once again be the colossal fish bowl that all the gaping town residents
and parents come to ogle. What they. will see is something that the daily residents of
this university can only dream of: a clean, patched, paved, repaired campis that one
would never suspect was inhabited by social human beings. ForCommunity-
University Day, the students should shut themselves in, protected within the confines
of their rooms, so as not to despoil the perfection that the Administration is trying to
shove down the throats of unsuspecting visitors who have no way of knowing any
better. A student appearing outside on C-U Day will be an alien in his own home. We
do not belong here on Saturday. The displays, the student/ mannequins, the pageantry
and pomp is all that C-U Day means. If we want to present to the outside community a
true picture of the monolith that takes such a large bite of their taxes, let them comeany
day they choose, any time they choose, and go anywhere they choose. Let them sit in
‘on classes, eat in the cafeterias, and ask students if they'can visit their rooms.

Passing off Community-University Day as an example of how this college is runis a
gross insult to the sensibilities of anyone who sees this mockery for what it is. If it takes~
4 Community-University Day to make essential repairs, to get the Administration out
their ivory towers and onto the- campus with the rest of the population, then
Community-University Day should be a daily occurrence.

But 1, the lost soul lived on,
With the help of my grandmother

And say, "Hush child, ain't nothin

Is help me corrupt my life.
Other people saw it coming.
But [ was just too blind to see,
What the things | was doing.
Were slowly doing to me.
Grandma pleaded with me, and
begged me to do right,
‘She'd say, “Watch who you hangout
with,
And don't sty out so lateat night.”
Now Mom and Dad, they tried their
best.
But there was four kids younger than
me.

Versatile Band Here Saturday

This Saturday nite SUNYA is
sponsoring a concert by the Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band, They've been
around for about eight years now,
although not in their present form.
Back in 1966, the Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band started playing at the Paradox
Club in Orange City. They were
basically a jug band at the time, This
original group was made up of
Jackson Browne, Bruce Kunkel, and
Ralph Barr, and they cut an album
for Liberty records in 1966. The
group was upset with the way Liber
ty handled the recording and they
never recorded for them again. The
album was fairly successful though
and one song in particular, "Buy For
The Rain”, was moved into the
gory.

Until recently, country music had

Despite the fact that the new

‘on in a. 1968 campaign speech in which he
bitterly denounced Ramsey Clark, then At-
tommey General, We have all witnessed how
much respect. Nixon and his “Attorney
Generals John Mitchell and Richard Klien-
‘dienst (not to mention the other members of
Nixon's debased crew) had for law and justice.
‘The nation saw the brand of law and order im-
posed by Nixon and was repulsed by it.

Political Irony

‘The nature of politics is such that it abounds
with irony. Today while Richard Nixon lies in
a hospital bed, his life at its nadir, the political
fortunes of Ramsey Clark are on the rise,
Clark is the Democratic candidate for Senator
for the state of New York. Decency and in-
tegrity - qualities alien to politics as practiced
by Richard Nixon - are the hallmarks of the
Clark campaign. The voters of New York
State are receptive to Clark's brand of politics,
‘as evidenced by his smashing primary victory
three weeks ago,

The people of New York and the nation
want a marked change in the post-Watergate
style of politics. Politicians must respond con-
vincingly and decisively to the abuses of
Watergate. In 1974 the voters will seek a new
breed of candidates; the public will favor
office-seekers who are not linked to big
money, big business, or special interest
groups.

Ramsey Clark, in acknowledging the voters’
concern'with the evils exposed by Watergate,
has stipulated that his campaign contributions

bbe limited to $ 100 per person, Clark feels that
“money dominates politics and, through
politics, govetniient.” He is attempting to free
politicsand government from the shackles and
influence of great wealth, In a-day when
political campaigns are expensive, grandiose
Projects, Clark is,taking his message to the

people via a low-key, low-cost campaign. The

austere campaign being run by Clark differs
srikingly frqm the campaign of his opponent
Jacob Javits,

+ money dominates)

[politics and, through politics

government.”

‘The Javits campaign promises to be a

well financed affair, he already has,
amassed a colossal campaign treasure chest,
Javits has solicited contributions from all
segments of the business world. Banking, real
estate, and insurance interests have all

Some have bought into the Javits campaign
for $100,000, This should not surprise people,
because in his other three campaigns, Jacob

Javits always kowtowed to the “fat cats” of the
business world, Despite disclaimers by Javits
and his supporters, those large checks do
affect and sway the performance of an office
holder; it would be fatuous of us to think
otherwise.
While in the senate Javits has often been
slow (o act on the major issues. He supported
y in Vietnam well into the 1960's,
i his position when it became the pop-
ular thing to do, Javits waited a long time
before calling for Mr. Nixon to resign; even
the troglodytic James Buckley called for
on’s resignation before Javits.

‘Clark A Civil Libertarian:

‘There is more to the Clark campaign than
just a $100 limit on contributions. Clark's
Tecord in goverment is enviable, His years at

the Justice Department were noteworthy for
many accomplishments, In such areas as civil
rights, prison reform, and civil liberties, Clark
was at the forefront of change. In addition, he
was a leader in anti-trust enforcement, cur-
tailing the merger activity of such industry
titans as 1BM and ITT,

A Bad Year for the Pundits?

The pundits say Clark has no chance of
defeating Jacob Javits, one of the most for-
midable vote getters in the history of New
York State. But, in a tumultuous year such as
this, one in which both the President and Vice-
President have been driven from office,
anything is possible. As Senator J, William
Fullbright can tell you, it isa bad year for in-

cumbents,

‘Booters Readying for Key

by Nathan Salant
Tomorrow, October 5. at 11
‘a.m,,the Albany State Great Danes
soccer team will host Cortland State
in a key State’ University of New
York Athletic Conference game.
Both teams are undefeated in con-
‘ference play, and the result should
icate just how good the Danes
feally are. Perhaps indicative of the
importance of this game is the fact
the WSUA has decided to carry the
‘pine live.

“This is a key game for us,” said
Coach Bill Schieffelin. “I hoped we
wouldebe 4-0 going in, and | only
hope we are 5-0 coming out. You
have to take them one at a time, and
this is one I really want to take.

Schieffelin sees Cortland as “a fast
and aggressive team with good
balance and depth, not unlike our
‘own. Generally, if Cortland carries
twenty players, twenty will play.”

The Booters match up at least
evenly with Cortland, Albany will
field ahealthy team, with no injuries
toworryabout. Albany's defense has
been rated among the best in the
State by opposing coaches,
anchored by goalie Henry Obwald,
and fullbacks Bob Schlegel, Leroy
Aldrich, Emerick Browne-Marcke,
and Arthur Bedford. “Superlative
speed and excellent skills” was the
way Buffalo State Coach Hartwick
rated it

The halfbacks are also solid, with

The strong doubles team of Pat Podgorski and Dorti Burreshould beable
to intimidate their opponents and win the title. Bonnie Rawitz and freshman
Claire Goldman round out a very strong team. Albany will be up against a
very tough field that includes Skidmore, St. Lawrence, University of Ver-

Rolando on the left, Jerry Lee Hing,

Toway of Ricardo Rosé on the right
(Garroway sometimes sees action up

Carew give the Danes depth here.
Most soccer people point to the half-
backs as the key to a good team as
they play both ways (offense and
defense) and serve as a link between
the offense and fullbacks. When the
halves play well, the Dunes play well,

Danes have allowed only two goals
in four games, they have scored only

two in cach of their last two games.
‘The only player approaching con-
sistency up front has been Chepe
Ruano, ‘with four goals and “one
assist. Frank Selea came for

twice, but a leg infection forced him

the player with the most potential up
front may be Clinton Aldrich, yet his
‘emotions occassionally get the better
of him, as seen at Buffalo State.

With his excellent speed and fine
skills, Clinton could mature into as
good a wing as Albany hay

Munsey Happy

Afterwards Coach Munsey felt,
“They looked awfully, awfully good.
They ran a very relaxed race with no
real pressure. | think they surprised
themselves with rather fantastic
times.”

The weather couldn't help but
have a hampering effect on the
runners as a strong wind, which has
become a trademark of the SUNYA
campus, once again was up to its old
tricks. According to Couch Muini
“It was good running temperature-
wise; the problem was the wind, It

‘As he says, “We've reached that
higher plane of running; | do think
we are about there. You couldn't ask

we're just continuing to run well.”

Another surprising fact that
makes the win look even more im-
pressive is that Chris Burns and Her-
bie Hason, State's number three and
four runnersdid not compete. Burns
stayed out due to a leg injury and
Hason was rested.

‘Albany's freshman crop looks
very strong this year, as they helped
place the first seven men in the all

here,

“This is really nice to see.” stated
Coach Munsey. “They were running
without having to run.”

Tomorrow the harriers will havea
little more to worry about, as they
face a definitely stronger Williams
team.

“We're looking forward to a little
more challenge.” said Coach
Munsey. “If we do our duty ind

Ahonen Gets Nod Against RIT Tomorrow

by Les Zuckerman

Dave Ahonen will get his chance
to prove himself at quarterback
tomorrow when they take on RIT in
4 2 p.m, start, This will be his first
ting assignment in a Great Dane
uniform,

Coach Bob Ford has always e
pressed a great deal of confidence
his young quarterback, “I think
Daye has looked fine in two scrim-
mages and in practice, The Alfred
situation was tough because of the
weather, so | can’t fault his perfor
mance." Ford was referring to
Ahonen's problem of fumbling and
inability to move the ball. On a dry
ficld Ford feels that Ahonen will be
able 10 do a good job,

John Bertuzzi, the regular
quarterback, suffered a dislocated
left thumb in last week's 7-6 victory
over Alfrec The preliminary
medical report revealed that John
would be inactive for three weeks.
However, Bertuzzi has been working
‘out all week and feels he can be ready
tomorrow. Coach Ford does not
want to rush the situation, so he will
g0 with Ahonen,

RIT and Albany have met four
times in the past with the Great

game lust year at Rochester ended in

calls this “an intense rivalry with
each game a physical test for both
squads,"

On the season, RIT is 0-2 with
defeats at the hands of Hobart and
St. Lawrerice. This RIT team is prac-
tically the same one that faced the
Danes last season, with the excep-
tion of a new head coach,

Coach Ford feels that RIT has a
very strong defensive line which will
PUL pressure on his offensive
linemen, Paul Isbell at middle guard
isa standout for the RIT defense,
Ford stated, "RIT isas bigdefensive-
lyas Alfred, We must use our speed
to compensate for the weight we are
giving away.” Ford hopes that the
Dane offense can move the ball to
the outside and control the RIT
defensive line,

On offense, the RIT line is very
young which will aid the Great
Danes, The inexperience of the RIT
offense should ke matters easier

Alton Smith will appeal his felony conviction sometime in December.

by Richard Nordwind

Almost one year after his arrest,
the controversy and legal manuever-
ing over the Alton Smith case con-
tinues unabated, The Alton Smith
story epitomizes the tensions
between the black community and
the Albany Police, as well asdistrust
between the University and the
Police.

On Noy. 1 1973, Akton Smith was

charged with 7 counts of felonies,
following « violent altercation with
two police officers, and the acide
tal shooting of a bystander. The in-
dictments were for Ist and 2nd
degree assault and reckless et
dangerment,
Smith, a black Albany State un-
dergraduate art major, had wounded
another je student,
Greggo, during the incident. Greggo
was not seriously wounded in the
shooting.

Only two facts about the Nov. |
incident are agreed upon by Smith
and the Police, One is that it took
place on Delaware Ave. near the
Delaware Movie Theatre, a little
before 10 P.M, Secondly, both sides
concur that Smith was near his ear

SA Lists Invalidated Elections;
Some Council And Senate Totals In

State Quad Couneil seat, and the
(wo Colonial seats went to Arthur
Levine and Linda Shore,

The results of the Council for the
Class of '76 will be released pending
the rerun of the commuter election
The votes from the five quads were
not invalidated,

All the commuter elections (for 2
versity Senate
seat, und the ‘76 Council) were in-
validated because, according to
Curran, the names slipped on the
machine so that when a person press-
ed a lever, he had no way of knowing
whose name he was programming
into the machine.

The elections for 2 Central Coun-
cil seats and one University Senate
seat on Dutch Quad were in
validated, said Curran, because the
machine was not working properly
and there was no space provided for

write-in votes.

Linda Weinstock in response to

“One person having all that respon-
sibility is ridiculous - that is, unless
that is the only thing they're involved

Birnbaum looks ahead to next

when the trouble began, From this
point the two stories are radically
different,

“Alton was just checking out his
car, when two men called down the
street to him, ‘Hey nigger! Hey
coon!,” says Smith's lawyer Mike
Feit. Only tater, Feit states, was
Smith to discover that the (wo men
were policemen. The two cops, later
identified as Officer Manion and
never presented
ication, claims

According to Smith, the two men
grabbed him, and began beating him
for no reason. Feit recounts, “Alton
was down on the ground yelling for
the police to help,"

A gun from the holster of one of
the policemen fell o the ground dur-
ing the fight, and Smith was able to
grab it

“All Alton wanted to do was to
fire the gun in the air for attention
He thought he was dead man other
wise,” believes Feit, Instead of firing
in the air the gun went off on street
level, wounding Michael Greggo
who had been sitting in a car one
block away, Greggo had not known
about the altercation,

Police units in the area helped to
subdue Smith, and placed him under
arrest, Feit claims that Smith had
severe head injuries from his struggle
with the police, “which weren't
properly treated until days later.”

Smith was charged with several
county of Ist and 2nd Degree
Assualt. Bail, set_at $20,000, was
raised with the help of the NAACP,
and the Union Settlement

Smith took two lie detector testy:
‘one in mid-November and the other
in May, Each confirmed hiy
testimony,

The District Attorney's office re-
jects Smith's assertation that he was
the victim of blatant police brutality.

Smith “suspicious”

“The two policemen were on a
prostitution stake-out_ when they
saw black male, later identified as
Alton Smith, ucting suspiciously,"
siys Steve Coffey, prosecuting at-
torney in the Smith case.

The policemen, Coffey argues, im-
mediately identified themselves to
Smith, so as to ask some routine
questions. Alton Smith, Coffey
states, threw the first punches at the
policemen, and “fought like a mad
bull" before he was arrested

Nor did the District Attorney's of-
fice believe Smith's version of the
shooting incident, “The policemen
thought that Smith was pointing the
gun right up in at them, not up in the
air," says Coffey. And Coffey further
claims that it ook a number of
policemen (o subdue Smith after his
arrest, “This was not the actions of a
man who had just been severely
beaten,"

The trial did not begin until July,
1974, It lasted five days, was well
covered by the local media, and well
attended by members of the black,
and University community, In his
three years at SUNYA Smith had
built up an excellent reputation for
his art work, and academie
achievements, and many in the Un-
iversity came to support Smith, and
offer character witness in his
defense,

The trial centered around three
main arguements: Did the police
offer identification (o Smith?, did
witnesses on Delaware Ave, actually
see Smith being beaten? was the
testimony of either Smith, or Officer
Manich, and Detective Topin incon-
sistent with previous testimony given
(o the grand jury?

The jury, confused by the exact
meaning of the seven indictments,
epeatedly asked presiding Judge
John Clyne for instructions, After
long deliberation the jury cleared
Smith of all Ist Degree assault
charges, but found him guilty of two
counts of 2nd degree assault, In
‘other words, the jury did not believe
that Smith had attacked the officers,
but they did find Smith guilty of
resisting the policemen's  perfor-
mance of duty.

Defense scores Clyne

Alter the trial, one of the jurors,
Louis A. Lessier sitid the jurors ins
correetly thought they could tind
Smith guilty of resisting arrest ev
though that charge way not part of
the indiciment, Another juror,
William Straney, regretted he had
hot “held out” for an innocent ver=
dict on all counts. according to Feit

Defense attorneys were furious at
Judge Clyne for what they felt were
“insulficent instructions to the jury.”
It was lack of knowledge, Feit
believes, that led to Smith's two
count conviction, Smith was
sentenced to a five year probation
period by the judge.

So the process for appeal began.

Such a process is an expensive
one, and Smith with the uid of the
NAACP, American Civil Liberties
Union, teachers at SUNYA, and
community leaders, have begun a
fund raising drive (0 raise legal fees,
The Alton Smith legal defense fund
hopes to raise $2,000 through private
donations, und fund-raising events,
on-campus and off. The appeal will
be lodged with the Apellate Division
of N.Y. state courts,

“Alton Smith is a remarkable
young man,” says Paul Smith,
chaplain at the University, and a
firm Alton Smith supporter. “He
battled his way up from a poverty
buckground, and he's displayed a
fantastic talent for art." Like many
others, Paul Smith does not believe
Alton Smith was capable of com-
miting the crimes he was convicted
of

DA, backs his case

“Believe me," says Ralph Smith,
D.A, of Albany, “we took a good,
long look at this case before we
brought it to trial. Alton Smith did
have a fine background, and he ob-
viously was a person of talent.
Nevertheless, the D.A, felt the case
against Smith was strong enough to
bring to court, and strong enough to
win against any appeal.

“All these people who testify in
Alton Smith's behalf, how the hell
do they know what happened that
night?" asks Ralph Smith,

One person who does know is
Alton Smith himself, and he ix reluc-
tant to talk for fear of endangering
his chances for appeal,

“The fucts speak for themselves,”
is all that Alton Smith will way about
the night of Nov.
