Offer Two Choices

Preliminary plans for changes
in contract food service next
year have been prepared by Food

Groups

Plan For Choice,Convention

According to group officials,
the McCarthy and Kennedy
groups on campus are now func-
tioning at close to top form,

Chairman of the McCarthy
group is Sally Mendola, a soph-
omore, Michael Gilbertson, a
freshman, is servingas co-chair-
man,

The McCarthy group is work-
ing with the Albany CDA - Coa-
lition for a Democratic Alterna-
tive — in an attempt to pro-
cure electors for McCarthy at
the Democratic National Conven-
tion. Leon Daims is the
representative of C,D,A, whohas
been in closest contact with the
group,

Although they plan a great
deal of work on the coming col-
legiate “presidential preference
poll,” Choice ’68, the main ob-
jective of the McCarthy work-
ers will be to contact as many
registered Democrats as pos-
sible in the Albany area,

A storefront headquarters
had been set up at 110 North
Pearl Street in downtown Al-
‘pany. The grand opening of the
headquarters will be Saturday,

Prompts Student Comment

by Ira Wolfman
Staff Reporter

Lyndon B. Johnson announced
to a stunned public that he would
neither seek nor accept the no-
mination of the Democratic party
for President of the United States.

Johnson said that he did not
believe that he should devote‘‘an
hour or a day” to anything but
the ‘fawesome duties’? of the
presidency in the coming year.

CLARIFICATION

‘To clarify the misunderstanding
caused by the March 15 column
“Off Center,’? we feel it necessary|
to state that there was no intention
of implying that Dr. Richardson
Rice, Dr. Paul Pettit or Dr. Ryland
Hewitt are anti-semitic. This mis-
understanding is unfortunate, and
we hope this clarification will end
any misconceptions which have
arisen.

John Cromie
Linda Berdan
M.J. Rosenberg

Senator Robert F. Kennedy of
New York and Senator Eugene
McCarthy of Minnesota were con-
sequently left as the only two
declared candidates for the
Democratic Presidential nomina-
tion.

The reactions of students at

the University to Johnson's de- ~

cision were varied. Ron Pisani,
a sophomore, expressed the doubt
felt by many when he stated that
“I still don’t believe him. It’s
probably some kind of political
maneuver.’? Bill Farelli, a
senior, admitted he was ‘very
surprised,’”? and that ‘Johnson
didn’t seem the type to quit.”
Some students believed that John-
son ‘was finally admitting he was
wrong”? as Phil Pickus, a fresh-
man, stated. Jim Capossela, also
a freshman, said he‘* Wasn’t sur-
prised, but rather happy, for I
feel that the United States needs
new policies,’’

Some students believed that

Workers are needed for a great
variety of jobs. Telephone can-
vassing, work at the desk (which

ed, Work is available both on

The original LAAC survey pro-
posed a 14-meal-per-week plan
allowing students to choose from
breakfasts, lunches, and dinners
up to a total of 14 meals per
week, A large majority of stu-
dents (yes 1830, no 272) favored
this plan, Because this plan was
deemed infeasible by the joint
committee, the idea was dis-
regarded.

A second plan including 20
meals per week on which the
student voted 861 yes and 1158
no, was incorporated.

Meal ticket transferability
from one dining hall to another
has also been included in the
plan, Not within the scope of this
proposal is a no board option.

Reasons for the deferral of the
offering of this optionfor at least
one more year are: lack of know-
ledge of the effect of the new
board plans on costs, decision
for no board by students would
be based on consideration of this
year’s meal plan, transfer pri-
vilege will eliminate much of
the need for a no board option,
and the consideration of maxi-
mum use of the dining facili-
ties,

Also eliminated in this plan
is the present options of off-
campus students which included
dinner only, breakfast only, and
breakfast and dinner choices,
These were rejected because they ©
“are not available to on-campus
students.’? Off-campus students.

Campus Strike To Illustrate
War Dissatisfaction April 25,26

by Ed Silver

In conjunction with a coordin-
ated national and international
effort, the University will be the
setting for a proposed student
strike on Friday April 26, The
purpose of this action is to unite
campus dissatisfaction with the
continuation of the war in Viet-
nam into a single countrywide
show of strength,

In addition to the strike, in-
terested University faculty and

students have created a two day
teach-in to run Thursday, April
25 from 2 p.m, to midnight, and
all day Friday beginning at 9a,m.
The teach-in will include local
faculty members as well as
speakers, poets, writers, and
authorities from around the coun-
try.

About forty University faculty
members have offered to either
support or participate in the
teach-in, Other speakers will in-

The strike was organized at a
national conference of the Nation-
al Student Mobilization Commit-
tee (S.M.C.) in late January, It
is the first nationwide peace ef-
fort to be attempted on Ameri-
can univérsity campuses. The
SMC was formed about one year
ago to organize student partici-
pation in the April 15 Peace
March in New York City. It also
organized similarly for the Octo-
ber 21 March on Washington,

On campus supporters of the
strike include SDS, the Student-
Faculty Committee to End the
War, and “‘suppression,’? Organ-

Univ. Students
Experiment

With Jr. High

by Kathy Deyoe

Sixty university students from
the educational psychology lec-
ture class of Dr. Sivers and Dr.
Gioia are involved in an experi-
ment on the Hawthorne effect.
This experiment has a dual pur-
pose. It is a study of homework
of the junior high school student,
but also has an experimental de-
sign permitting a study of the
Hawthorne effect.

The Hawthorne effect is based
on research done at the Western
Electric Plant in Chicagg, Ili-
nois, in the 1920’s, At this time
the study was purely industrial
research. It involved changes,
for better or worse, in the work-
ing conditions of the employees
involved. The generalization
made from the study is that the
workers were stimulated more by
knowing they were in an experi-
ment then by any of the changes
in the working conditions.

In the field of education, such
research has been effective be-
cause the children involved feel
they have been given special at-
tention. They have been stimula
ed more by attitude than by what
is actually being done to them.

Mrs. Sivers, of the Education-
al Psychology Department at the
University, is sponsoring the ex-
periment on the Hawthorne ef-
fect. She is being assisted by Mr.
Gray, Mr. Haas, and Mr. Wil-
liams, all of whom are studying
for their doctorates in education-
al psychology.

The six-week study is taking
place at Shenendehowa andGuild-
erland Junior High Schools.
These two schools were chosen
because their six week marking
period coincides well with the
university program.

Three groups of twenty col-
lege students each meet with the
junior high school students once
a week. The college students vol-
unteered to participate in the
program. There are two groups
of elected junior high school
students involved at each respec-
tive junior high. Members of the
two groups have been matched
according to four factors: sex,
grade, 1Q, and academic achieve-
ment. One group represents a
dyadic relationship between the
junior high and university stu-
dents. These particular junior
high students have weekly con-
tact with the university students,
The second group, the control
group, know they are involved
in an experiment, but they have
no individual contact with the un-
iversity students. It has been hy-
pothesized that the group having
a dyadic relationship will, be-
cause of the individual attention
given to them, achieve higher
academic success than the con-
trol group.

The actual results of the ex-
periment won’t be available until
the end of the six week period.

TONY CASALE AND CONNIE Valis have been chosen by
their fellow members of MYSKANIA to be guardians of the
class of 1971.

MYSKANIA Guardians
Chosen For Class of ’72

MYSKANIA 1969 has announc-
ed the selection of Connie Valis
and Tony Casale as Guardians
of the Class of 1972.

In addition, MYSKANIA has ex-
tended their congratulations to
Dr. Fiser of the Special Com-
mittee on Undergraduate Edu-
cation for the curriculum report.

In accepting their posts, the
°72 Class Guardians expressed
hopes in adding new emphasis to
one of MYSKANIA’s oldest tradi-
tions.

“The incoming’ Freshman
Class is the largest in the his-

tory of the University,’’ they not-
ed, ‘it will take the effort of all
upperclassmen to help integrate
the new Frosh into the Univer-
sity and channel their energy and
enthusiasm into constructive ven-
tures,

‘We hope to involve all areas
of the University community in
this task and are looking forward
to the assistance of many campus
organizations,’?

Smiles Baseball Game
Tomorrow; ALC vs. LaSalle

by Ang Desantis

Smiles has arranged a base-
ball game between LaSalle and
ALC, Smiles works with children
in the whole Albany area, which
includes LaSalle. The LaSalle
‘boys are between 12 and15 years
old, and they come from broken
homes or are in temporary trou-
ble.

The brothers of ALC decided
to have the baseball game to-
morrow on the field opposite
Brubacher. In case of rain, the
game will be played in the La-
Salle gymnasium. This is the first
time Smiles has cooperated with
a Greek organization on campus.

Johnson: Not Candidate

(Continued from Page 1)
Johnson was aware that ‘‘he no
longer had the support of the na~
tion,’? as Janice Winter, a first
semester freshman, commented.
The prospect of ‘a more exciting
election’ and the beliefs that
Johnson’s decision was ‘in the
best interests of the nation’
prompted Jill Kaufman, class of
770, to admit she was ‘Very
happy”? at the decision.

President Johnson, in his ad-
dress, also announced that he
had ordered a halt in the air and
naval bombardment of most of
North Vietnam. He also invited
the Hanoi government to joinhim
in a “series of mutual moves to-
ward peace.’

At the same time, Johnsonurg-
ed the Soviet Union and Britain
to move from his ‘unilateral act
of deescalation’’ toward a genuine
peace.

He designated Ambassador at
Large Averell Harriman and
American Ambassador to Mos-
cow, Llewellyn Thompson, as his
representatives to be available
in Geneva or any other suitable
place just as soon as I>
agreed to a conference.”

But if peace does not come
through negotiations, Mr. John-
son asserted, it will come when
Hanoi understands that ‘our
common resolve is unshakable
and our common strength is in-
vincible.’?

good will between the University
and a segment of the community
which is usually unnoticed.” Box

The LaSalle boys come from
the Eastern part of the United
States, and LaSalle has a long
waiting list of children trying to
get in. Smiles would like to get
the University interested in work-
ing with them in community so-
cial projects, especially helping
children.

Kelleher Letter,

Johnson Discussed

by Tim Keeley

At the President’s Conference
with Students on Monday, Presi-
dent Evan R, Collins discussed a
several sundry topics includinga
letter he received from Assem-
blyman Neil Kelleher and the an-
nouncement of President John-
son’s decision not to seek re-
election.

Last week Collins received a
letter from Assemblyman Kelle-
her concerning the draft councel-
ing service at the University.

CPC Applications
Now Available

Applications for at - large
memberships on the Community
Programming Commission are
now available at the Information
Desk of the Campus Center and
in the Student Activities Office
(CC 136), The applications are
due April 11 to the Student Ac-
tivities Office,

The CPC is a means of mak-
ing your ideas about program-
ming on this campus known,

If any student is interested
in any aspect of programming
he may apply for the CPC as
either a general at-large mem-
ber or for a special area of
the commission,

The commission is involved
in the evaluation,initiation and
promotion of activities in the
areas of special events, social
and political concerns, recre-
ation, and arts - cultural con-
cerns,

Activities of the commission
this year include the establish-
ment of a governing board for
the campus center, the sponsor-
ing of intermedia, and setting
up the coffee house circuit
(through the governing board)
and many other activities in the
field of programming,

Political Groups
Make Plans

(Continued from Page 1)

The charge for the buses will
be 50 cents.

Anyone who is interested in
working for McCarthy should
contact Sally Mendola at 457-
7899,

The Kennedy group on cam-
pus has also been very active
this week. After their success-
ful organizational meeting, M.J,
Rosenberg, organizer of the
group, has stated that they have
“nearly 400 students who have in-
dicated their willingness to work
for Kennedy.”

Plans have been made for the
establishment of a storefront
headquarters somewhere in
downtown Albany,

The Kennedy students are hav-
ing a meeting (at which responsi-
bilities will be assigned) on
Tuesday, April 9, Rosenberg re-
iterated that ‘any students who
wish to work for Kennedy can
either contact me or attend this
meeting, All are welcome.””

Kelleher is quite disappointed
with me,’’ commented Collins.’
This letter was written to Col-
lins in response to his failure to
disclose the names of faculty
members available to students
for draft counseling.

Collins asked the students
present to comment on Johnson’s
decision, The general concensus
of these students was that Ken~
nedy and McCarthy will now be
given greater chances at their
bids for President.

A student at the conference
asked Collins whether James
Whitney will be punished by the
University. Collins felt that ‘The
proper group to deal with this is
his peers.’*

If action is to be taken, the
Faculty Senate is the group that
will decide upon the matter,

Collins also released a report
from Dean Robert Morris of the
University College.

The report compared last sem.
ester’s UNI students with those
of a year ago.

Tt showed that 12.8 per cent of
this year’s freshmen were onthe
dean’s list as compared to 9.7
per cent last year.

The number of students on
probation also decreased.
“These studies would indicate
that we are enrolling better stu-
dents each year.”

Dippikill, Mohawk Offer

Relaxation, Stimulation

by Edna Gunderson

Camp Dippikill and the Mo-
hawk Campus will have again
much to offer students by way of
outdoor relaxation and stimula-
tion this spring.

Opportunities for boating, ca-
noeing, badminton, volleyball,
softball, and hiking are all avail-
able 12 miles from Albany at the
Mohawk Campus.

These 289 acres of property
(100 of which are owned by the
Faculty-Student Association and
189 of which is leased from the
state) containing areas of forest,
meadow, and lagoon are looked
after by Russell Baker, who is
the Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds, and a crew of sev-
en students employed under a
work-study program.

These people maintain the
property, repair and build things
and are available toassist groups
who have reserved places on the
Mohawk and Dippikill properties.

Gary Jones, Assistant Direc-
tor of the Campus Center, re-
marked that without this small
group of workers it would indeed
be difficult to keep these off-
campus areas in operation.

Reservations are required for
the use of the Mohawk Campus,
However, Jones observed that in
the future, if a larger staff of
workers were employed, as is
Possible in the summer when
more students are available for
employment, “open-hours” may
be established at Mohawk.

That is, there would be cer-
tain hours when the area would
be staffed to serve students with-
out any previous reservations
or preparations being necessary.

Also at Mohawk is the Charette
House, once occupied by the Cha-
rette family, which dates back to
the 1820’s and contains a colom
ial furnished room with a fire-
Place, a dining area, and a snack
be which can serve 200-250 peo-
ple.

The Old Barn is not standing
any longer as the result of a fire
last July 16, of which the cause
is still unknown,

This year there are 13 canoes
and 5 boats. One of these may
be rented for 25 cents per hour
or $1.00 per day, but may only
be used in the lagoon and canal
area since there is too much of
a risk for the University tobe re-
sponsible for boaters who are out
on the Mohawk River.

Drive Starts

For Albany’s South End

This week marks Kappa Beta
Fraternity’s first annual All-
University Clothing Drive for the
South End, The drive will last
from Wednesday, April3to Tues,
day April 9,

Boxes for the collection of
clothes will be nlaced in every
residence lower lounge, Allresi-
dents, faculty, staff and com-
muters are asked by Paul Lieber-
man, chairman of the drive, to
cooperate since the amount of
participation determines the suc-
cess of the drive, All types of
clothing are needed,

Clothing will go to the Trinity
Institute in the South End, The
institute has a thrift shop, which
is open every Tuesday, The
clothes will be sold there at a
very nominal charge; various
activities, which are sponsored
by the institute are funded by the
proceeds of the sales.

A non-sectarian organization,
the institute is one of the few

social centers down in the South
End of Albany,

“The purpose of the drive,’
according to Lieberman, “is to
try and make the student aware
of the community’s problems and
to hope that he will participate

Lieberman termed the drive
a ‘community action type pro-
ject.’ It is his hope that the oth-
er fraternities and sororities
would in turn take the initaitve
and perform in these various
projects, giving more meaning
and purpose to the greek organ-
izations and their memberships,

On the last day of the drive,
the Campus Center Ballroom will

EXPLOSION ’68
To Include Everything

EXPLOSION ’68 is coming!
This year State Fair is running
in conjunction with Jazz Festival
and Parents’ Weekend, The com-
bined theme is EXPLOSION ’68,

State Fair needs donations of
hoola hoops, roller skates, and
old clothes. Bring your donations
pack from Easter Vacation and
deposit them in the bin at the
Information Desk in the Campus
Center.

The site of State Fair this year
will be the field between the Pod-
ium and the new gym. In case of
bad weather, booths will be set
up on the Podium, The Fair will
run from 11 a.m, to 4 p.m, on
Saturday, Mav 4.

The booths at the State Fair
will be set up by various clubs
on campus and sororities and
fraternities, Ruth Sternfield and
Vic Looper are the co-chairmen
of State Fair,

Trophies include: 1) most ori-
ginal, 2) most unique publicity,
3) most decorative, These three
will be small and permanent, The
two big trophies are: 1) most
money, and 2) Fair’s Best. These
will be large and circulating,

A band at Dutch Quad from2to
5 p.m, will kick off the weekend.
starting Thursday, May 2, There
will also be a barbecue at the
Formal Gardens near the Campus
Center Cafeteria from 4:30 to 7
p.m, There will be signup sheets
for the barbecue on the Food
Service dinner lines,

The Happening, ‘May Day Plus
Two,’’ will take place on Friday
May 3, Jazz Festival is having
concerts Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights,

State Fair is planned to be ad-
vertised in the local papers and
on radio stations, People in the
area are encouraged to come to
the event and join with the Uni-
versity,

“We hope to create,” stated
Ruth Sternfield, co-chairman of

State Fair, “a great weekend
for the whole campus, but the pur-
Pose of State Fair is to raise
funds to support a Foreign Stu-
dent for one year. As our enroll-
ment has increased, our profits
have not kept up. This is partly
due to the expansion of our pro-
gram in order to provide a fun
weekend for the University, and
this year is no exception. We
hope everyone will participate in
the activities we have planned
as our part of EXPLOSION 68.””

Rocky Approves

Abortion Proposal

Reprinted from the New York
Times (March 30)

Governor Rockefeller en-
dorsed proposals by his special
committee that would vastly lib-
eralize the state’s 85-year-old
abortion law.

The major recommendations
that were endorsed by Mr. Rock-
efeller would permit an abortion
when;

It is necessary to save the life
of the mother.

The continuance of the preg-
nancy would ‘gravely impair’?
the mother’s physical or mental
health,

The woman has a permanent
physical or mental condition
which would render her incap-
able of caring for the child, if
born.’’

There is substantial risk that
the child, if born, would be ‘‘so
grossly malformed or would have
such serious physical or mental
abnormalities as to be perman-
ently incapable of caring for him-
self,’””

‘The pregnancy resulted from
rape (excluding statutory rape).

The pregnancy began while the
‘woman was unmarried and under
16 years old and she was still
unmarried when the abortion was
requested.

Computer Use In Analysis
Of Literary Texts Discussed

Dr. Berkley Peabody, Profes-
sor of Comparative Literature at
the University, spoke recently on
the use of computers in the anal-
ysis of literary texts. His lec-
ture, entitled ‘The New Stylo-
metrics,’’ was part of the lec-
ture series sponsored by the Uni-
versity’s Department of Compar-
ative and World Literature:

Stylometry is the statistical
analysis of texts in terms of
specific sign characteristics.

The new stylometrics differs
from earlier work in that it
makes use of computers develop-
ed primarily since the Second
World War. The use of comput-
ers for textual analysis began in
the 1950’s, and since 1960 signi-
ficant results have become more
and more evident.

The new stylometry has sev-
eral advantages over the older
techniques.

First, there is a great reduc-
tion in time, effort, and cost.
The Shakespeare Concordance,
which took Bartlett 40 years to
compile, could be done in one
month today. A typical Greek
tragedy now costs only about
$18, or a day’s pay, to put in
machine readable form.

A second advantage is thatsuch
projects are now group efforts
rather than the work of one per-
son. A typical group includes a
computer programmer, a mathe-~
matical statistician and a liter-
ary scholar. Each can serve as
catalyst to the others.

Formerly the goal of stylome-
try was to identify peculiar char-
acteristics that separate one text
from all other texts. Now the goal
is rather the establishment of
general norms for textual behav-
jor. The computer makes this
physically possible. The British

Albany Red Cross Appeals
To Students For Blood

The importance of the college
student in the success of the
community blood program spon-
sored by the Red Cross in the
Northeastern New York State was
pointed out last week when the
Albany Area Chapter, American
Red Cross appealed to the col-
lege students within the Chap-
ter’s jurisdiction to supply 200
units of blood at the Regional
Blood Center, 136 South Lake
Avenue, Albany, on a scheduled
basis between now and the com-
pletion of the current semester.

‘The brothers of Alpha Pi Alpha
fraternity have responded to the
appeal by scheduling a blood
drive to be held in the Campus
Center on Tuesday, May 7, from
10 asm. to 4 p.m. The Univer-
sity has been assigned a quota
of 200 blood units.

College students to date have
donated 1,771 units of blood to
the Northeastern New York Re-
gional Blood Program. Of that
total, 755 units were donated
by the students at the State Uni-
versity Agricultural and Tech-
nical College, Cobleskill. Stu-
dent collections at Cobleskill lead
the 20 colleges who are parti-
cipating in the program either
through bloodmobile visists to
their campuses or by individual
student visits to the BloodCenter
in Albany.

William G, Fraser, Chairman
of the Blood Program Commit-
tee, said nine local schools
have been approached during the
past week and asked to provide
student blood donors. They in-
clude Albany Business’ College,
Albany College of Pharmacy, Al-
bany Law School, College of St.
Rose, Junior College of Albany,
Maria College, Mildred Elley
Secretarial School, Siena Col-
lege and the State University of
New York at Albany.

Mr. Fraser said college stu-

dents have been most helpful in ©

the past and have supplied the
~blood_program_ with.much needed

blood for use in our hospitals.

Fraser praised the student
body at Cobleskill for their out-
standing 411 unit blood donation
at a Red Cross bloodmobile visit
to their campus last week. He
said the 411 units donated un-
doubtedly represented a national
student record based on college
enroliment figures, and that 43
per cent of the Cobleskill stu-
dent body donated at the blood-
mobile visit last week.

The State University at Cob-
Jeskill recently became the first
receipient of the annual award
for participation in the North-
eastern New York State Red
Cross Blood Program. Student
leaders there plan to better their
record and have said they wel-
come challenges from other col-
leges in the area.

Academy Samples of ancient
Greek texts, which include about
400 textual samples of about 2000
words each, provide by means of
the computer a broad basis of
comparison for anyone working
with Greek texts.

Much work has already been
done with classical Greek texts.
Greek works of Homer, Plato,
and Aristotle, as well as of many
other authors, are already in

Lectures

On Communism

by Loren Ostrander

“Naziism ys. Communism,”
was the title of a lecturegivenby
Mr. Leonard Baranski last
Wednesday night. Baranski, who
has participated in a series of
lectures dealing with com-
munism, is brought to the Uni-
versity by the group known as
the Young Americans for Free-
dom or YAF.

Talking to a crowd numbering
about eighty-five, which included
students, adults, and nuns, Ba-
ranski stated that he had seenthe
evils that communism produces.

He has spent twelve years be-
hing the iron curtain and five
years in Communist prisons.

In his lecture Baranski stated
that individuals can be built up
by society or society candestroy
individuals.

Throughout the lecture, Baran-
ski stated that with communism
there is no individualism and no
Personality. He compared people
under communism and Naziism
as being screws in avery large
machine, Eachperson loses their
human qualities of individualism,

He continued by saying that.
“ationalism grows out of the
family’? and it is this national-
ism that communism andNaziism
want to destroy,

Baranski feels very strongly
toward everything that he says.
He often stressed how he is
‘thonest?? in what he says and
he is always truthful. He does
not want people to go away from
his lectures doubting the things
that he has talked about.

N.Y. To Host Internt’l

Motorcycle

There’s no record of who built
the very first mini-bike or where
it made its debut. The midget-
size motorcycle, most people
agree, got its push into popular-
ity at major U,S, auto race cir-
cuits where safety laws rulled
out the regular full-size motor-
cycle,

Mini-bikes have been standard
equipment in the pit and garage
area at Indianapolis every May
prior to the running of the 500
mile race, At Daytona Interna-
tional Speedway as well as at
Sebring, Florida, race drivers,
car owners and mechanics get
from one place to another, with-
in the circuit area by mini-bike.

This year, for the first time,
New York City will have an In-
ternational Motorcycle Show at
the coliseum from April 11th to
the 14th. In addition to the hun-
dreds of motorcycles, a large
variety of the mini-bikes will be
on exhibition. Mainly of domes-
tic manufacture, this division
now boasts of models made over-
seas as well.

The need for the mini-bike is
not limited to the race crews at
motorsports events. The nauti-
cal contingent, bent on having

are here to stay — especially in
view of the fact that a brand new
one ¢an be purchased for as lit.
tle as $160,

At the end of this lecture,
films captured in World War II
were shown. The films show the
horror that the Russian Com-
munists inflicted on people dur-
ing World War II.

Baranski was received well at
this meeting and he will hold
another lecture in his series
this Wednesday. Everyone in-
terested in learning about Com-
munism from first hand knowl-
edge is urged to attend. The
next meeting will also show films
from World War II.

Baranski will, at his next lec-
ture, talk more extensively about
the films.

Brandeis Students
Will Avoid Draft

(CPS) Results of a poll of
male seniors at Brandeis Uni-
versity released this week in-
dicated that 70 per cent of them
will try to avoid the draft,

Of the 180 students polled (out
of a total of 194 male seniors,)
16 said they would go to jail,
and 44 said they would leave the
country rather than accept induc-
tion,

Another 65 said they would
“seek some kind of deferment”?
to avoid the draft.

Of the 30 per cent who are
not planning to avoid the draft,
half said they would definitely
serve, the other half were un-
decided.

The poll at Brandeis was one
of several that have been con-
ducted on college campuses since
the new draft regulations were
announced February 15,

The Graduate Student Council
at MIT passed a resolution in
support of those who refused on
moral grounds to serve in the

computer readable form. Much
of this work has been done at
Edinborough. At Liege in France
many classical Latin works have
been translated onto punch cards.

The first step in the new stylo-
metrics is to translate the text
into a form readable in high level
computer language. For small
projects punch cards are used,
while tapes are used for larger
projects.

Next the computer makes a
glossary of the words that occur
in the text, and then a concor-
dance. Then many tests can be
run such as those to determine
the frequency distribution of
common words, to determine
sentence length distribution, and
to determine the distribution of
the final words in sentences ac-
cording to grammatical types.
Such tests are used to determine
the integrity of a text or to dis-
tinguish authorship of texts.

The evidence from such tests
is always negative in a sense,
since they may show that two
texts or passages are separate
but not that they must belong to-
gether, The results, however,
have been so far very satisfac-
tory. It has been found that the
typical characteristics of a given
author remain remarkably stable
during his productive lifetime.

Peabody said that in the future
we can expect the isolation ofnew
information from texts, infor-
mation that was previously un-
available. We will thereby be able
to resolve problems insoluble
at the present time because of
Jack of sufficient information.

Peabody also spoke about the
limitations of the new stylome-
trices. The present approaches
and techniques are relatively
crude. The tests made seem to
produce spectacular results be-
cause they are the first results
in a new field. To get all the in-
formation out, however, that is
potentially available to us, we
must refine our techniques and
use imagination in our test de-
signs

Since stylometrics is in its
present form a new field, it is
still plastic and flexible. It would
be unwise to reject the tech-
niques because of inevitable ini-
tial failures, nor would itbe wise
to allow the techniques to be-
come too crystalized. Peabody
warned, ‘‘If we become too stan-
dardized and inflexible, we shall
close the door before it is open-
ed’?

STB India

The brothers of Sigma Tau

Certificate of Appreciation from
the United States Committee for
UNICEF for their contribution
of $1,899.75 resulting from the
University’s Food forIndia drive.

The Drive, held on Dec. 15,
1967 raised the funds through
students’ voluntary fasting. For
each student who did not take a
meal in the dining halls, $.75
was donated by Food Service.
Approximately 2,500 students
signed up and participated in the
fast.

Through UNICEF's Applied Nu-
trition Program the funds raised
will provide 10,000 pounds of
CSM powder (a corn soy milk
protein mixture), enough for daily
milk servings for 4,000 children
for an entire month; a large
incubator with a capacity of 2500
eggs; garden tool kits for 80
school nutrition projects.

The Certificate of Apprecia-
tion was awarded for ‘your active
participation in the fight against
hunger, disease and ignorance
among children in the developing
areas of the world.’

Lawyers Begin Study

Of Selective

(CPS) A group of young Wash-
ington lawyers have set up anon-
profit institute to study the se-
lective service system, and to
publish a monthly journal that will
discuss legal issues connected
with the draft.

According to one of its found-
ers, Michael Tigar, the Public
Law Education Institute is not
meant to be a draft counseling
center, but rather a center for
careful study of the present draft
system.

Tigar explains that he and one
of his co-founders are ‘terribly
concerned about the designed law-
lessness of the Selective Service
System.”

He believes that by dissemin-
ating information about legal as-
pects of the draft, he and other
lawyers at the Institute can do
more to combat unfair aspects
of the draft system than simply
by taking on individual cases,

Head of the Institute is Thomas
Adler, formerly a legislative as-
sistant on Capitol Hill. Tigar will
be editor-in-chief of Selective
Service Law Reporter, the first
issue of which is scheduled to
appear early next month,

The reporter will be mainly
for the use of lawyers, although
Tigar says it should also be use-
ful to draft counselors who are
familiar with the workings of
the selective service system,
and to college administrators
who are charged with advising
students on the draft.

Quakers Suspend

Vietnam Program

Philadelphia (CPS) — The
American Friends Service Com-
mittee (AFSC) has suspended its
program in Vietnam.

“The intensified _ military
operations throughout the coun-
try have resulted in a disruption
of transportation, communica-
tions, supplies, and all phases of.
normal civilian _life,’”’ said
Stephen G. Cary, AFSC associate
executive secretary. ‘Under
these conditions it is impossible
for us to continue.’’

The Quakers, who have been
operating a child day-carecenter
and a rehabilitation service in
Quang Ngai, have announced the
temporary remoyal of their staff
to Hong Kong to await develop-
ments. They hope to go back as
soon as possible.

Voluntary International Serv-
ice Assignments, or VISA, a
second AFSC program, is also
removing its personnel, young
men and women who have been
serving in individual assign-
ments under indigenous agencies
in Hue, Danang, Vung Tau,
Pleiku, and Saigon itself. The
yolunteers are gathering inSinga-
pore to reassess the situation
and the program’s relation to it.

Univ. Reassures
Graduate Students

(CPS) At least three universi-
ties are acting to reassure grad-
uate students who may be draft-
ed.

The University of Iowa will
give partial credit to graduate
students drafted in mid-semes-
ter. Students with seven to nine
weeks of work will receive half
credit, 10-12 weeks two-thirds
credit, and 12 weeks or more
full credit.

The University of Chicago has
guaranteed readmittance after
service to graduate students who
are drafted out of graduate
school.

The University of Rochester
(N.Y,) will give ‘top priority”
for admittance and fellowships
to students drafted in mid-semes-
ter.

Most graduate students will
face induction next fall in the
wake of removal of all graduate
student draft deferments, Unless
changes are made in the order
of call, manpower experts have
said that graduate students and
graduating seniors will fill al-
most all of the draft calls after
June.

Proposed Change
In Food Plan

(Continued from Page 1)

Considerations expressed by
food services in offering the
proposed meal schedule were:
«(1) limiting the board options
to a reasonable number, (2) in-
corporating a noon meal into the
contract food plans which would
eliminate the undesirable split
shift for food workers and re
duce the Campus Center noon
meal overload by making better
utilization of our residence hall
dining facilities.

*tAnd, @) retain the volume
of contract feeding which permits
economy by providing students
with higher quality and greater,
quantity of food for their con-
tract board dollar than would be
possible on a cash basis.’?

The semester food cost has
also increased, This is due both
to the rising cost of living and
the lowering expected on the
missed meal factor in the pre-
sent plan is 30 per cent, while
on the new plans this is expect-
ed to drop to about 10-15 per
cent.

The additional cost of $40 for
the 20 meal plan is attributed
to the direct cost of food, labor
and overhead,

“The board plan options’?
states the Committee report,
“have attempted to satisfy the
concerns of students as reported
in the LAAC survey. For those
students desiring a 20 meal plan,
there is one available; for those
students requesting a flexible
14 meal plan, one is provided.”

The number of men entering
graduate school as full-time stu-
dents next fall will be 70per cent
lower than it was last fall, if
the government doesn’t change its
current draft policy, according
to a recent report.

The report, based on a survey
conducted by the Council of Grad-
uate Schools and the Scientific
Manpower Commission (a pri-
vate research organization), also
indicated that the total enroll-
ment of first-year students in
graduate school next fall will be
50 per cent lower than it was last
fall.

Tt went on to say that during
the next academic year, there
will be more women than men in
first-year graduate classes for
the first time since World War

‘A total of 122 graduate schools,
representing about 40 per cent
of the total graduate enrollment
in the country, were included in
the survey on which the reportis
pased. The graduate school of-
ficials were asked to give de-
tailed estimates of what their
enroliments would be if no draft-
eligible men are enrolled next
year.

Although the Defense Depart-
ment has said that not all grad-
uate students and college sen-
iors eligible for the draft will
be taken, Mrs. Betty Vetter, ex-
ecutive director of the Scientific
Manpower Commission says that
“almost all’? of them will be.

According to Mrs. Vetter, the
Defense Department projections
are based on the assumption that
men under 20 will continue to vol-
unteer for the services to the
same extent they have inthe past.
She believes though, that when
18 and 19-year olds learn that
there’s little chance they’ll be
drafted, fewer will volunteer than
in the past.

Scheer Extends
Visit Here

Dr. Max M. Scheer, chairman
of the administration committee
of the University of Wurzburg,
has been on a visit to the
campus. At the German Univer-
sity now are 27 students from
the Albany institution and from
State University College at One-
onta as part of an exchange pro-
gram headed at Wurzburg by Dr.
Scheer.

Studying at Albany are four
graduate students from the Uni-
versity of Wurzburg. Their major
fields of study are biology, Eng-
lish literature, physics, and pub-

Scheer, a physicist, has com-
mented during his visit on the
experience of the exchange stu-
dents. Of the students he said,
“mn the first period of such an
exchange program most of the
students had difficulties inadapt-
ing to the German language and
customs and to the very different
university system. Consequently,
they had to work hard and were
very successful at the end of the
first semester. Some of the stu-
dents asked for an extended
period of their stay at
‘Wurzburg.””

In speaking of our University,
Scheer noted, ‘This university
has a very good future and so we
are very glad tohave connections
especially with this university.

To Be

by Lee Dembart
(Reprinted from the New
York Post)

The lghts were low and the
tape recorder was loud, and the
sweet smell of marijuana hung
over the barracks.

And as the soldiers sang they
passed a marijuana cigaret back
and forth among them, breath-
ing deeply and holding down the
smoke and gazing at the walls,
the ceiling and each other,

It is a scene that I have wit-
nessed in almost every major
city in Vietnam, from Saigon to
Hue and Danang in the north,to
Pleiku in the central highlandsto
Can Tho and Soc Tranginthe Me-
kong Delta.

For, though military spokes-
men deny it, a tremendous num-
ber of American servicemen and
civilians are smoking marijuana
on a regular basis, Throughout
the country marijuana is readily
available at unbelievably inexpen-
sive prices and is heavily inuse.

The mere mention of ‘‘conxa’’
(Vietnamese slang for marijuana)
brings instant recognition from
taxi drivers, sidewalk vendors,
and children playing in the
streets, And the recognition is
invariably followed by the ques-
tion: “‘How much you buy???

Prices vary widely, but evenat
the highest prices, marijuana
costs a fraction of what it sells
for inthe States, As one Air Force
sergeant observed: ‘‘A nickel bag
out here costs just that: Five
cents,”?

Usually marijuana cigarets are
sold, already rolled, in cello-
phane packets of 10, Such apack-
et, containing ‘joints’? the size
of a regular non-filter cigaret,
costs anywhere from $1 to $2.50.
In Cam Ranh Bay, site of a
major U,S, logistics supply area,
almost every bar in the village
will sell marijuana for the ask-
ing, And, says one sergeant sta-
tioned there: ‘Alot of guys are
doing the asking.”

In one provincial capital in the
Delta, the local CIA “spook,” a
Vietnamese with a weighty
French background, is the mari-
juana supplier for the town,

The bars are all sources of

supply, with special bars like
Mom’s, coming in for special
praise from Gls throughout the
capital area. For here instead
of seeing little plates of peanuts
about, a visitor sees little plates
of hashish to which customers
are invited to “help themselves.””

Every month, sources claim,
Camp Zama reports 40000 posi-
tive identifications of marijuana
from Vietnam alone, And, contin-
ue the sources, the number of
people who are caught is insig-
nificant compared with the num-
ber who are smoking.

And the Navy also has its
share of marijuana smokers. One
officer aboard the Bon Homme
Richard confided there was a
“considerable amount’? of mari-
juana smoking aboard ship, and
that there had been a number of
administrative discharges be-
cause of marijuana use,

Asked why he thought so many
men in the service were using
marijuana, a general explained
that it was probably because of
the nature of the closed society
where all there is otherwise is
working, eating, sleeping, and

Marijuana, he said, seems to
be just one more thing to do to
pass the time. Others disagree,

battle there:

“You see this guy laying out

cousin, You gotta take some-
thing,”?

Pre-Registration,
Advisement

Under the new system being in-
itiated this semester, pre-regis-
tration and academic advisement
have been separated. Academic
advisement is now in progress,
Pre-registration (class card
drawing) will begin on Monday,
April 8 and continue through Fri-
day, May 10 (exclusive of Spring
Vacation).

Pre-registration will be con-
ducted on the alphabetical basis
published herewith, and will be
held in the U lounge of the Colon-
ial Quad.

On Friday, May 10 pre-regis-
tration and all packets must be
turned in no later than 4:00 p.m,
Students who will be attending
Summer Session should pre-re-
gister for both Summer and Fall
at the same time in order that
a permit to register be available.

Any student who has not pre-
registered, and is academically
eligible to continue, may regis-
ter on the regular registration
days in summer and fall. They
need not obtain permission of the
Dean as in previous semesters,

The student should plan his
program with the advisor. The
schedule of classes was print-
ed last week in the ASP. The
desired classes are then to be
written in the brown-strip pro-
gram card. The advisor is to sign
the card. Initials will not be ac-

teach ortake a position with a corporation.

Student From Nigeria
Views School, Society

Adekola Odunade, a student
here from Nigeria, enrolled as
a freshman in University Col-
lege, is receiving a firsthand
view of the American college.
Adekola is able to sample dorm
life at the University through his
residence in Johnson Hall.

Adekola is pursuing an educa-
tion in public accounting. He
hopes to do graduate work inthis
country and then return to Nigeria
to teach in a university or work
in an established corporation.

As winner of a highly com-
petitive scholarship, Adekola is
able to attend this University and
continue his education. In July,
his wife will join him here and
will be able to stay until he
graduates.

Son of a former member ofthe
Western Nigeria Parliament,
Adekola was taught in anelemen-
tary school at home. It was dur-
ing this time he acquired an in-
terest in business education.

Education is compulsory in
Nigeria until the child reaches
the age of 12. After that time if
a student wishes to further his
education he must pay for it
himself.

Adekola is amazed at the per-
missiveness of the social norms
in this country. In Nigeria the
social behavior is closely regu-
lated with respect to dating.
Young couples are allowed to
date only with parental permis-
sion, and then usually, only dur-
ing the day time.

Due to the civil war conditions
and price escalation, it was ex-
pensive for Adekola to leave his
country and come to the U.S.
Nigeria is wealthy in mineral
deposits, control for which has
resulted in strife.

A political party in Nigeria
is usually composed of the mem-
bers of one tribe. For instance,
it is the Biafra tribe which, in
the civil war, is trying to main-
tain control of Eastern Nigeria.

‘Adekola stated that the people
of Nigeria are relatively pro
gressive and modern in their
ideals, though they seem to re-
main loyal to their tribes. Gov-
ernment positions are influential,
but the businessmen are wealth-
ier and more comfortable.

Adekola has been a critic of
U.S. foreign policy. While he
lauds the assistance given foreign
nations in the form of food dona-
tions, library grants, and Peace
Corps involvement, Adekola de-
cries the interventionist role
played by the U.S. in Vietnam.
“So many souls have been lost;
now they’re of no use toAmerica
or Vietnam.”

Meal Plans = Unacceptable

The proposed new meal plan for
the 68-69 academic year, prepared
by a joint committee of the Office
of Residences and Food Service,
seems to have been devised with
misdirected, if indeed any, con-
cern for the students’ wishes as
expressed in the LAAC poll, and
with a major emphasis on facili-
tating the operation of Food Ser-
vice.

Under the thin cloak of infeasi-
bility, the ‘‘any 14 meal plan”
overwhelmingly favored (1830-yes,
272-no) was rejected. The reasons
given were impossibility of pre-
diction of the quantity of food to
be prepared and the imcompara-
bility of the cost of the three
meals.

First, on the incomparability of
costs. The prices of breakfasts
and lunches can easily be equal-
ized by providing decent meals
in both cases. Costs can then be
computed on a 7 dinner plus 7
breakfast-or-lunch basis.

And as to the predictability,
how does Food Service now de-
cide how much food to prepare?
From all indications, at the be-
ginning of each semester they
take an educated guess and then
Modify, their routine in the light
of the number of students who eat
each meal.

Very similar to this problem is
that which the transfer of meal
tickets from one dining area to
another presents. Plans for such
a transfer have long been staved
off by the very same argument
(two years ago prediction of
amounts of food for each dining
area under a transfer system was
a positively insurmountable dif-
ficulty), however, now we find that
this high-hurdle can be leaped,

And as to the proposed 14 and
20 meai plans, we find these totally
unacceptable in the light of the
student opinion expressed in the
LAAC poll, Infact, they are
even worse than the present meal
plan. Both of these proposals force
the student who eats breakfast or
lunch plus dinner to pay for all
three meals, and to pay evenmore
than before.

The increase in cost is pri-
marily due to the predicted low-
ering in the percentage of missed
meals, now at’ an’ alarming 30

per cent.

1158 of the students polled re-
sponded nagatively to the 20 meal
plan question which was worded
“‘Would you be in favor of the

addition of a third daily meal
under board contract. The Com-

mittee entirely ignored the major-
ity view on this. The students who
said ‘“‘we don’t want a third meal
added’’ now have no choice.

Furthermore, it appears from
the statements issued by the com-
mittee that the real reason behind
adding the third meal was
to ‘eliminate the undesirable split
shift for food workers’’ and “‘make
better utilization of our residence
dining facilities’’ among other
similar considerations.

On closer inspection of the com-
mittee report, a further inequity
comes to light. Up until this time
a breakfast only or dinner only
option has been available to off-
campus students; now it is be-
ing discontinued because on-cam-
pus students do not enjoy these
options. Why were these not in-
cluded in the on-campus plan?

In fact, this may be the very
plan in which many students would
be interested; they might get what
they pay for. This in addition to
the blanket plans for those who
wish them, would result in an
acceptable, and feasible meal pro-
gram,

Finally, there is the ‘‘no board’’
option, or rather lack of it.

The excuses for not offering a
no board option include:

(1) lack of knowledge of what
effect the new plans will have on
costs,

(2) preference of having one
year’s experience with the plans
to determine the acceptibility on
the part of students,

(3) expectation that students are
not intelligent enough to base a
decision to opt no board on the
basis of the proposed plans and
not those of the 67-68 year,

(4) that again the students would
not consider the transfer privilege
in making a no board decision
(“It is important, therefore, that
the students have an opportunity
to try this new approach before
making a no board option avail-
able.’’),

(6) responsibility to make use

New Deal—C.A.’s, Transfers

The imminent end of the acade-
mic year brings consideration of
the impending Summer Planning
Conference, an institution very
close to excellence, yet thwarted
in achieving It because of the
remuneration for the Conference
Assistants 4nd of theTransfer Stu-
dent conferences.

Under the present system, con-
ference assistants, who perform
the duties of clerks, social direc-
tors, nurse maids, counselors, in-
formation bureaus and campus
guides, receive in payment for
their services room, board and
cash totaling to an approximate
amount of $600. The conference
assistants work officially about
40 hours a week, and unofficially
24 hours per day for a five day
week. The cash breakdown then
averages out to about $1.25 per
hour for the hours officially put
in by the conference assistants.

But, if the C.A. is considered
working around the clock he earns
$.24 per hour,

Such a figure cannot be justi-
fied, even with the consideration
of room and board for the eight
weeks, when the employed indi:
viduals’ qualifications are consi-
dered. Those attracted toward
such a summer position are gen-
erally student leaders with a gen-
uine interest in the University

Their competence in’ fulfilling
the ‘official’ duties of their job
is unquestionable, but in compar-
ison to the unofficial duties the

of the facilities provided (i.e. re-
sidence dining halls) without un-
duly restricting the student.

The fact that the total plan
proposed “‘goes much further than
the majority of universities’’ is
immaterial. The fact that under
the guise of giving students what
they want, the committee has facili-
tated the operation of food Service,
and thrown the students the crumb
of transferable meal tickets, is
material,

When any part of the adminis-
tration decides to cram something
down the students’ throats, they
might as well come right out and
say so. And if this report was
to be subtle about it, it failed.

LRB

Conference Assistants perform
these official services seem insig-
nificant. In urging fora raise in pay
for the Conference Assistants we
In urging for a raise in pay for
the Conference Assistants we
would also bring to mind their
role as ambassadors of the Uni-
versity to the new student is
beyond any monetary value.

A pay raise is feasible through
a modest raise in the conference
fee. An additional $2.50 solicited
from incoming ‘students would ade-
quately provide a salary commen-
surate with the Conference assist-
ants’ job and possibly enable the
University to increase the number
of assistants employed.

The second matter retarding the
effectiveness of the planning con-
ference as a whole concerns the
transfer student’s segment.

Transfer students do not
need instruction in what the gen-

eral college experience would be
like, what they’ need is a pre-

sentation of college life at this
University. Included in this should
be the guided tour of the campus
which was given to freshmen but
not transfers this past summer.

Of prime concern to the trans-
fer student in his academic situa-
tion. During the planning confer-
ences, academic advisement is
made by some faculty members
available during the summer. In
most cases these will not be
Permamently assigned to the stu-

dents.
Too many instances of summer

misadvisement have resulted in
transfers learning late in their

junior or senior year that they
must spend an additional summer

or semester in school to meet
requirements they were not aware
of when they first preregistered
during the summer.

More openings incourses should
also be provided for transfers,

Particularly upperclass transfers,
We would ask for a reconstruc-

tion of the transfer Planning con-

of transfers and to eleminate the
Sugary dose of college life that
is dished out to freshmen. To
realize such a reform, successful
transfer students now enrolled in
the University could be of valuable

aid, in planning the summer con-
ferences.

Americans are an innocent
people. And it is therefore
not surprising that we watched
President Johnson’s Sunday night
spectacular with such delight. It
is a measure of the effectiveness
of Lyndon Johnson’s consensus
Presidency that we reactedtothe
apparent end of his era witha joy
usually reserved for the end of
major wars.

I was quite sure that LBJ had
lost the capacity of touching even
the most sentimental of our peo-
ple. But on Sunday night and then
after his Chicago speech, you
heard college kids speak of John-
son as if he was a popular Presi-
dent who had died in office.

Even I could see why he was
called a ‘profile in courage” and
a ‘man above Politics.” But
when I noticed even my most
anti-Johnson and anti-war friends
praising the President’s courage
and nobility, I grew suspicious.

Could it be that Johnson had
decided to risk all on the great-
est political gamble in our his-
tory? He has effectively silenced
his opposition. McCarthy and
Kennedy seem thoroughly dis-
comfited — on Monday night’s
Cronkite show every national fig-
ure from Kennedy to Goldwater
praised the President.

Nixon says he can no longer
criticize the war, and even
George Wallace concurred. It
looks like Lyndon Johnson has ac-
complished the impossible — af-
ter three years of incessant de-
bate and dissent, he has totally
subdued his opposition.

Again he is ‘President of all
the people.’’ And now Mike Mans-
field calls for a draft Johnson
movement,

Perhaps, I am guilty‘ of un-
warrented cynicism, But let us
not forget who is responsible for
today’s skepticism and distrust,
It is no one else but this same
Lyndon Johnson who we today
eulogize. For the Johnson pres-
idency has been so riddled with
duplicity, so divisive an influ-
ence that we can only be most
wary.

He has lied to us too often,
Was it not Johnson who engineer-
ed the ‘‘Great Betrayal of 1964"?
Was it not Johnson who, again
with the same “sincerity” we saw
Sunday, said that he would not
allow Americans to fight inawar
that Asian boys should be fight-
ing? ;
Was it not this same Johnson
who in his generosity offered
us 38 sham peace feelers fol-
lowed by 38 long planned escala-
tions? And was it not this same
Johnson who drove even his most
devoted servants from public
life?

And less than a month ago
was it not this same Johnson who
with the ultimate crassness al-
lowed his agents to accuse Sena-
tor McCarthy of fronting for
Hanoi?

We must not allow sentimen-
tality to obscure the fact that
Lyndon B, Johnson and no one
else is responsible for the tragic
situation existing in our nation to-
day.

Of his presidency it canbe said
that he came into office with the
country shattered by assassina-
tion and that he is leaving the
scene with the nation more di-
vided than it has been in 107
years.

And that one speech does not
really change anything. As John-
son said Monday ‘Eternal vigil-
ance is the price of liberty.”
I feel that we must still be vigil-
ant, we still have 290 days left
of the Johnson era. There can
be no talk of drafting Lyndon
Johnson. We must not forget
what he has done to our nation
in four years.

We must now begin work for a
better America. The onealterna-
tive to Lyndon Johnson is Sena-
tor Robert F, Kennedy. For the
past four years he has symbol-
ized opposition to the Johnson
leadership. Like Senator McCar-
thy and unlike the other candid-
ates, he does not offer 1950 solu-
tions to the problems of 1970.

And the self-righteous Mr. John-
son should have taught us one
lesson. A President must have
the capacity of self-doubt.

Robert Kennedy has this cap-
acity and this may be what sep-
arates him from all the other
contenders. The times do not re-
quire the rigid simple solutions
of an earlier era, The complex
dilemmas of 1968 demand that we
elect Robert Kennedy — ‘our

Jean-Paul Sartre believes that
men are responsible for their own
destinies. ‘Man is nothing else
than his plan,” says Sartre, and
continues, ‘the is therefore noth-
ing else than the ensemble of his
acts.’’? Translated into political
terms, this comes out as: people
get the kind of government they
deserve,

If Americans are responsible
for the kind of government they
have, maybe the excuse ‘due to
extenuating circumstances”?

helps soften the blame. The ex
tenuating circumstances are the
untruths the American leader-
ship has fed the people. A good
example of this are the events
which led to the bombing of North
Vietnam.

The bombing of the North
(which has largely ceased since
President Johnson’s March 31
peace move) began in August of
1964 as a response to the re-
ported ‘tambush”’ of two Amer-
ican destroyers in the Gulf of

The

Right Way

by Robert Iseman

For the past few years there
has been almost as much specula~
tion as to what constitutes respon-
sible dissent as there has been
about the war in Vietnam itself.
With a presidential election in 6
months, and constant political
activity up to that time, there is
bound to be extensive discussion
and debate about the war.

During this hectic political per-
iod we must strive to show the
enemy a united front, but at the
same time offer the American
people an alternative to thepres-
ent policy. This can only be ac-
complished through the respon-
sible behavior of those who op-
pose the war. Since college stu-
dents play such an active part in
the political process, they have
just as much of an obligation to
Speak responsibly as the present
national leaders and candidates.

The appearance of Walter

Teague of the U.S, Committee
to Aid the National Liberation
Front at the University provided
an excellent example of the
strange attitudes held by some
of our fellow students. Teague ad-
vocated the victory of the Viet
Cong over American forces. He
began his program by showing
a ridiculously corny pro-Com-
munist film, It showed the peo-
ple of Vietnam happily working,
brightly smiling, and wildly
praising their Viet Cong ‘‘liber-
ators.””

I would not deny Teague the
right to speak on Campus, but I
was amazed at the number of
supposedly intelligent students
who literally ate up everything
Teague said. Through his actions
this man is killing AmericanGI’s
just as surely as if he was using
a gun, Yet, there sat the Com-

The Portside

by Carol

French

Once upon a time there was a
free man in a free society ina
free world. And he said to him-
self every day, ‘Oh, how free I
am, Isn’t it wonderful?” He had
lots of choices with very few
echoes, good food, a good wife,
good newspapers, a good job, and
no termites in his house. He was
very happy, indeed, He even got
to choose his leaders, by the nov-
el way of flipping a coin. Every
four years, coins were minted,
with a candidate on the head
side, and a candidate on the tail
side. Each voter would take his
coin (a large silver one) to the
flipping place. There, before a
secret camera, he would flip
his coin, his choice would be re-
corded and he would go home.
There were lots of little copper
coins around, but as they were
not given out by the State, no
one paid much attention to them.

T can’t tell you the end of the
story, because I don’t know it,
It’s a parable and ‘‘He that hath

ears to hear...”

Marxists view human freedom
dialectically, and I am going to
try to explain how we differ from
our opponents, and how our con-
cept of freedom is anything but
pernicious. I shall not attempt
to gloss the obvious denials of
freedom in the U,S,S.R., China,
and in Cuba which is freer than
the others; I only point out that
seemingly no great idea escapes
the taint of denying freedom to
some. Roman Catholics still oc-
casionally apologize for the In-
quisition and the Book Index,
Lutherans for Luther’s role in
the Thirty Years’ War, and our
Founding Fathers for treatment
of counter - revolutionaries —
Tories. As for dictatorships in
the “Socialist bloc,’’ capitalists
should remove the beam in their
own eyes, i.e., Rhodesia, South
Africa, Greece, and Vietnam,
etc, Yet, people still bring up
the lack of electoral choice in
the Socialist bloc vs.our system,

mittee to End the War, gazing at
their idol in humble admiration,
Pm sure the Marines atKhe Sahn
thank the Committee for their
support. When Viet Cong bullets
are whizzing by their heads, I’m
sure our GI’s would appreciate
the warm welcome the Committee
gave Teague.

As a result of Teague’s visit,
I think that there are some ques-
tions that the Committee should
be asked. First and very simply,
Whose side are you on anyway?
If it comes down to a choice be-
tween an American life and a
Vietnamese life, which do you
choose? I'll take the American
EVERYTIME}! How about you?

Nationally, candidates andoffi-
cials should communicate their
policies to the public, but in a
manner that does not encourage
the enemy. No candidate should
advocate ‘peace at any price.”
We must not allow the Commun-
ists to win at the polls inNovem-
ber, now that they have failed to
win in the battlefield, Suggestions
like the infamous RFK statement
that we should donate bloodto the
Viet Cong must not be repeated,
The public can be made well
aware of what Kennedy, McCar-
thy, Fulbright etc. stand for with-
out them ranting andraving about
‘tragic U.S, mistakes” and how
“we must get out regardless of
the consequences.’”

The American people must
hear both sides, but Hanoi must
not continue to hear the sounds
of disunity. As former President
Eisenhower said, ‘In a long life
of service to my country, I have
never encountered a situation
more depressing than the present
Spectacle of an America deeply
divided over a war... .»Whathas
become of a noble concept called
patriotism, which in former
times of crisis has carried us
through to victory and peace?’’
In times of national peril we all
should remember the things that
our nation has given us and ask
ourselves, For all these things
don’t I owe the U.S, a little old-
fashioned loyalty and devotion?

Tonkin, According to testimony
given on August 6, two daysafter
the incident, former Secretary of
Defense McNamara said, ‘The
attack was carried outatnight...
It was a premediated attack, a

ene attack.’”
Is picture of ‘‘unprovoked

aggression” was further magni-
fied and emotionalized by the
President in his télevised state-
ments after the attacks. The re-
sults were the bombing, and the
passage of the Tonkin resolu-
tion, a bill which gave the ad-
ministration carte blanche pow-

ers to escalate the war.
Last month, three-and-one-half

years after the Tonkin affair, the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee pointed out the fallacies
behind the Administration’s ver-
sion of what happened that fateful
night. Senator Wayne Morse, a
senior member of the commit-
tee, referred to these fallacies
in a March 7 speech. He said that
“on August 6, 1964, the Secre-
tary of Defense stated before the
Committee that the Maddox (one
of the ships) was operating in in-
ternational waters, and was
carrying out a routine patrol...
That was a misstatement. The
Maddox was a spy ship at that
time under instruction to stimu-
late electronic instruments of
North Vietnam. That is nota rou.
tine patrol for a destroyer.”
Morse went on to say that the
patrol of the Maddox and Turner
Joy was coordinated with opera-
tions of the South Vietnamese
against Northern coastal areas,
These operations included the
bombardment of radar sites and
security posts.

In other words, the two des-
troyers were participating in
hostile actions against North
Vietnam at the time they were
“attacked.” This is far differ-
ent from the Administration’s
version of ‘unprovoked’? as-
saults. The. official account bee
comes even more doubtful when
we learn that Hanoi warned the
United States, only days before,
that ‘U.S, ships in the Gulf of
Tonkin will no longer be con-
sidered neutrals . . . They will
be treated as belligerents from
first detection.” Despite these
warning our ships continued their
provocative maneuvers.

Why did our ships provoke
North Vietnamese retaliation
and then call it “aggression?”
Why did McNamara, Rusk, and
others deceive Congress and the
people? The answer to many of
these questions are buried in
“classified” material, but some
political analyists have ventured
guesses. I,F, Stone, the Wash-
ington-based political observer,
claims that the escalation policy
was pre-meditated. ‘The Bomb-
ing of the North and the commit.
ment of combat troops to Viet

Pan Hell:

It’s All Greek To Me...

y Maggie Dietz

Each fraternity and sorority
has been asked to elect a Pan-
Hellenic Council Officer for next
year so that the new represen-
tatives may hold their first meet-
ing on Tuesday, April 23.

The new representatives may
be either juniors or seniors (pre-
ferably a person who will not be
student teaching), and must have
been an active member of their
fraternity or sorority for at least
one full year.

I’m asking each group to choose
this officer carefully, consider-
ing the Greek system as a whole,
and the significant contribution
Greeks can and do make in Uni-
versity life and activities.

The present Pan - Hellenic
Council is in the process of pre-
paring an Annual Report, so that
next year’s Council will have
duties and ideas to work with as
they see fit,

This year’s Pan-Hell was new-
ly-organized, including members
from IFC and ISC, but working
as an ‘issues, and concerns’?

body, seeking to promote the uni-
fied influence of all Greeks on
Campus, It provides a forum for
the exchange of ideas concerning
the affairs of Greeks in relation
to the University Community and
the Community-at-large.

Through Pan-Hell, Greeks are
represented on Central Council
and the Committee on Student
Government and Organizations.
In addition to needed dialogue
between fraternities and sorori-
ties, Pan-Hell also provides the
opportunity for meaningful
Greek-Faculty - Administration
interaction at all levels of Uni-
versity Activity.

One member from each fra-
ternity and sorority works with
University Administrators and
Student Activities Advisors to
promote communication of Fac-
ulty concerns and student ques-
tions.

Out of Focus

To the editor:

The March 15 issue of The
ASP contained a column by M.J.
Rosenberg. Its title was “Off
Center’ but it might well have
been subtitled “Out of Focus.”
The incredibly poor taste of the
adolescent-humored cartoon is
amazing, but the accompanying
caption demonstrates a truth that
Mr. Rosenberg and other over-
sentimentalizing Americans
seem to have forgotten, i.e. when
an Arab refers to Israel as ‘*My
Lands” he is ever so correct
in his choice of personal pro-
nouns,

The truth of the matter is that
Israel is built on Arab land,
and would not exist today if it
were not for the support of the
U.S, It must also be admitted
that the success of Israel’s ex-
pansionist war of last summer
was due to the U.S.’s acqui-
esence.

For Mr, Rosenberg to accuse
the U.S, State Department of
Nazism, anti-Semitism and anti-
Zionism would be humorous if
it were not so insidious. Are
we to see Israel become another
Germany? Are we to hear cries
for “Living Space’? as justifi-
cation for the violation of ter-
ritorial integrity? Is the free
world to be prevented from halt-
ing a campaign of “Israel Irre-
dentia’” because of the M.J,
Rosenbergs of the U.S. silence
all protest with the invocation
of the horrors of Auschwitz and
Dachau?

What appeal can be made to
Israel? The fantastic presump-
tion of the U.S. and Britain in
implementing the Balfour De-
elaration vitiates any appeal
based on national sovereignty
in the Middle East. The opened
Pandora’s Box of Israel’s
establishment may well prove
to be unclosable,

I would not expect the MJ.
Rosenbergs to openly acknow-
ledge the weak moral position
of Israel, but I would hope that
they could refrain from confus-
ing the issues currently before
us by strewing the paths of dis-
cussion with the red-herrings of
gas vans and simplistic equations
of anti-Semitism with anti-Zion-
ism.

It will take considerably more
than the confused protestations
and Joe McCarthy-like tactics
of Mr. Rosenberg combined with
the purchasing power 6f Zion-
ists in the American Press to
convince this reader of Israel’s
right to some, if not all, of
Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and
Egypt; and to the title of ‘*Under-
dog in the Middle East.”

Open Letter

To the Editor and especially the
Class of 71: e

I am answering Mr, Tradeau’s
letter of last week to the ASP
because I feel there has been
some rather unfair and unfound-
ed statements made by Mr. Tra-
deau. The purpose of this letter
will be to explain ‘‘Class Coun-
cil” to you the Freshman Class
and to give some of the details
on the class’s weekend.

The “class council’? that was
elected in the Fall was rather
unique in the fact that no other
class had ever elected a council
before, The council was the con-
ception of our class guardians,
I wonder if Mr. Tradeau was
aware of this?

Secondly, wonder if many
Freshmen are aware of how class
councils are chosen by the other
classes at Albany? The other
class councils are appointed by
the elected officers’of the class.
This is the way your class coun
cil was chosen also,

It is important for us to con
sider the reason for a class
council, The class council exists
now as an advisory board to the
officers, and it is by no means
a group of simply “yes men,”

By setting up a class council
we the officers of the Freshman
class desired in no way to limit
participation inclass government
to a small group of people.

We encourage all interested
Freshman to attend class meet-
ings. Any one who is willing to
work for the Class of °71 is in
vited to attend our meetings. Any-
one who desires the class’s sup-
port or has ideas for furthering
the class's spirit is also wel-
come, This was stated in the
minutes of the first class meet-
ing, which were posted in every
Freshman dorm. I hope some of
the misunderstandings about
your class government has been
cleared up.

Secondly, let’s clear up the
misunderstanding about the class
weekend, I in no way have tried
to discredit the people who laid
the ‘groundwork’ for the week-
end, When the new class officers
took office, which by the way was
right after our inauguration, we
were presented with the problem
of Freshman weekend, The
groundwork may have been laid,
but. the arrangements for the
weekend especially the Mohawk
outing were far from complete.
Through the hard of the entire
council and several people out-
side of council the details of
the weekend were worked out
and completed,

Our only purpose has been
to make this class the best class
in the history of Albany State.
I hope we will succeed in our
purpose, and I hope that more
of you the Class of 771 will
take an active part in your class
government,

Richard C, Wesley
President, Class of ?71

ASP’s Lack

To the Editor:

As a college student involved
only indirectly with the SUNY
Albany Community, I read with
interest the various accounts and
comments on the Feb. 21 demon-
stration on your campus.

What concerned me most about
the columns and letters in the
March 1 issue of the ASP was
the glaring lack of rationality
and objectivity on the part of
both right and left-wing corres-
pondents,

Since I agree with Mr. Sim-
mons opposition to the war in
Vietnam, I was especially dis-
turbed by his apparent lack of
understanding regarding the im-
plications of his actions against
the Dow recruiter.

I, too, am horrified by napalm;
I participated in a peaceful
demonstration on my campus
against Dow. But Mr. Simmons
oes not seem to realize that by
physically obstructing access to
the recruiter, he was indulging in
a type of moral absolutism which
is inherently dangerous to any
person who happens to subscribe
to unpopular political views.

That is to say, by declaring
that he has a monopoly on truth,
that he is justified in imposing
his morality on other people,
Mr. Simmons leaves himself open
to the most heinous sort of
fascitic repression imaginable.

If you, Mr.Simmons, as a mem-
ber of a political monority group,
claim to be able to force other
people to accept your positions,
what is to prevent the majority-
who happen to hold all the so-
called legitimate power in the so-
ciety - from imposing its will
on you? And on me?

Dow is not the only form in
the United States which contri-
butes to the war effort. US Steel,
General Motors, and many other
industries are engaging in, from
my point of view, morally re-
prehensible acts by supporting
an immoral war.

But my point is not that all
such companies should be
picketed, not that all should be
permitted to recruit at will on
your campus.

Regarding your article “Con-
ference Issues Emphasize Tac-
ties’? by Kathy Deyoe, she did a
good job of reporting, in general.

But I think she made an error
in quoting Noam Chomsky ©@n
page 2).

‘The paragraph implies that the
only weapon the U.S, people have
is terror, He said, “that the
only weapon the Vietnamese peo-
ple have is their terror.’’ This
was because the people in Viet-
nam have a government put in
by the U.S, military. The Viet-
namese government is not a de-
mocracy in the way we would
define a democracy.

Other than this, I feel Miss
Deyoe did a very good job of
reporting.

Kennedy In 68

To the Editor:

Robert F. Kennedy’s candidacy
for the presidency should be wel-
comed by anyone who wishes to
see an end to the war in Viet
nam, Despite his untimely entry
into the Presidential race, Ken-
nedy should be supported,

True, Eugene McCarthy ap-
pears to be the more idealistic
and braver politician, but these
qualities do not win elections.
(Remember dali Stevenson,
bless him?)

The American public has to
out politic the politicians; what
is important this year is that
the candidate who can end the
war be elected. LBJ doesn’t want
to, Nixon wouldn’t and McCarthy
can’t, That leaves Bobby.

Threat

To the Editor:

Although I was threatened on
March 15 by some unknown Zion-
ists in this campus and warned
not to write any more letters
to the editor (.’”) Nevertheless,
as long as arguments such as
Miss Miller’s are presented, I
can not help but want to refute
them. She, for example, chose
an Arab doctor who wrote in the
Israeli ‘Jerusalem Post?”
against the Arab causeg How-
ever, Miss Miller failed to real-
ize that there are many more
Jews who are ‘unsympathetic’”’
with the Zionist Nationalist cause
than there are Arab apostates. I
could list innumerable Jewish au-
thors who wrote not just articles
but ‘books’ against the State of
Israel, (Cohen, Lilienthal et. al.)
Space limits me however, to only
excerpts of a letter written by
Moshe Menuhin, father of Yehudi
Menuhin, who wrote in the Los
Gatos Times on August 31, 1967:

“prophetic Judaism is my re-
ligion, not Napalm Judaism, —
Jewish Nationalism. The ‘Jew-
ish Nationalists — the new speci-
men of fighting Jews — are not
Jews as far as I am concerned,
but ‘Jewish’? Nazis who have
lost all sense of Jewish morality
and humanity. Anti-Zionism is not
anit-Semitism.’’

«With all the .. . image build-
ing, with torrents of sophisticat-
ed and astute publicity gimmicks,
polemical rhetoric, hiding of
facts and rewriting of history, it
remains a tragic FACT that the
“Jewish” nationalists .. . took
away by force of arms, terror
and atrocities the homes, the
land, and the homeland of the
Arab peasants, workers, and
merchants in old Palestine. . «

“*The leader of the Israeli
“TRGUN” terrorists, Menachem
Begin, tells it in a few boastful
words, “Al the Jewish forces
proceeded to advance like aknife
through butter . . . the Arabs
began to flee in panic shouting,
Deir Yassin,” In Deir Yassin,
on April 10, 1948, 245 Arab
men, women and children were
butchered in cold blood and their
mutilated bodies were thrown into
a well... Deir Yassin is just

one example of the atrocities _

committed to force the Arabs

out of their homeland. . .’”
These quoted words mayprove
to Miss Miller and others who
are concerned in this campus
that there is ‘Always another
side to the Arab-Israeli Conflict.

Sad Commentary — Administrations’ Understanding

Guest Column

by S. L. Brockhouse

The events of this last Sunday
evening have put the President
in a different light than the scorn
ful one in which he has been
cast for the past several years.
Even among the President’s most
severe critics, one gets the im-
pression that there is a feeling
of sympathy. This sympathy may
very well be deserved, for the
President has held his office in
a period of history which will
likely be judged one of the most
difficult and frustrating.

Despite our personal feelings
toward the President after last
Sunday evening’s address, each
must be judged on what he has
done and not on what he has
hoped to do.

In the last ten years, espe-
cially, the commentary on the ap-
parent understanding of history
and its workings by the members
of the different administrations
has been a rather sad one. This
has at least in part contributed
to the hazardous situation that
this country presently finds it
self in.~

The obvious illustration of this
Point is the Russo-Japanese War
of 1905, In the early years of
this century Russia was under-
going a period of stress and in-
ternal turmoil, The Russian Min-
ister of Interior, Plehve, com-
menting on the domestic prob-
lems of Russia with regard to the
Russo-Japanese War stated: **We
need a small victorious war to
stem the tide of revolution.”
Russia lost that war and the
Tsarist government was made
ineffectual, only to fall a dozen
years later.

Today, the United States is
also going through a period where
there are many domestic prob-
lems which must be faced. The
United States is also involved in
a foreign war, but for far dif-
ferent reasons than those of the
Russians in 1905, Though the
United States has not suffered
such a defeat as Russia, there
is a growing trend toward dis-
content and political activism un-

The following comments are on

dent opinion here at Albany I

common to this country.

The current situation in this
country is one in which many
domestic reforms are desper-
ately needed, especially in the
urban slums. The programs of
reform are being sacrificed in
order to carry out our commit
ment in Vietnam. We are faced,
this summer, with the prospect
of mass-participation violence in
the streets of every city in the
country.

Where all of this will event-
ually lead, no one can say with
any great certainty, but judg-
ing from times in the past where
a significant number of people
have become discontent with the
society in which they live, one
must accept the possibility that
the stability of the government

may be jeopardized by extremists
on both sides of the political
spectrum,

It is ironic that President John-
son has recently begun to com-
pare himself to such figures as
Winston Churchill, One recalls
Churchill’s observation that
“When armies approach each
other it makes all the difference
which owns only the ground on
which it stands or sleeps and
which one owns all the rest.’
It would seem that the Presi-
dent had not read this statement
by Churchill when he drew that
comparison, but perhaps some-
time before his address to the
nation last Sunday, he did read
and ponder that observation of
nations at war,

Muck and Chaff

The family situation has chang-
ed, Our great uncle has pulled
a coup, the likes of which I
can’t remember.

A cousin in Vietnam recently
published a poem in the family
journal (tars & Stripes), that
goes like this:

Tarnished mirror, I look and see

Dangling puppets, dead ona
string.

Slaughter in a carpetbag

Thats tearing at the seam.

Tears spill on your rosy cheeks:

to curb the operations of the

The family is in complete dis-
array at the first stratagem. I
personally think, cousin, that the
second nostrum is even more in-
teresting. Perhaps the family
business will be tended to, now
that the crime fighting has taken
a new twist.

The family’s recent history has
been disconcerting in itself. Cou-
sin Bobby (you know, from Mass.)

View From The Behind

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

It has been quite a while since
we have done so, so we thought
we would impart to you some of
the rumors that we -have heard
around campus the past several
weeks:

As the result of an ASP edi-
torial, Evan R, Collins hasasked
Gov. Rockefeller to call out the
National Guard to help clean up
the garbage in room B-4l of the
Campus Center,

‘The same group whopetitioned
Central Council for a longer in-
tersession, but had no plans for
how to manage it is now pre-
paring petitions to God for a
longer summer, to LBJ for less
taxes, and to Faculty Senate for
higher grades, Sign up will be
in the Campus Center lobby all
next week,

The Anti-Defamation League is
bringing suit against the Univer-
sity Band for not allowinga Jew’s
Harp.

Present architectural plans
call for the completion of the
Fine Arts Building.

At least one of the major
hawks in the country will re-
verse position and support John-
son’s tax increases to pay for
the war, Have cake and eat it
much?

Senator Robert F. Kennedy will
admit that it is really he who is
running for the presidential no-

mination, not the ghost of his
late brother as he has been try-
ing to make us believe.

No one in the government will
realize that such true statements
as ‘It is even awkward for both
of them (Kennedy & McCarthy) to
run on the same ticket for Presi-
dent and VP nominees, since both
of them are Roman Catholics.”
(James Reston, NY Times 3-31-
68) has something to do with why
‘the bitterness against the whole
system could become a very real
problem inthe major universities
of the nation.’ (Ibid) One would
be bad enough, huh? A nation of
bigots and idiots.

In case of a stalemate at the
Democratic Convention this sum-
mer, Kennedy and McCarthy
forces have decided to throw
their support behind Harold Stas-
sen.

Lyndon Johnson will run for the
U.S, Senate against John Tower to
get his old seat back. Why not?
He’s backstabbed all of his other
friends.

Most of the support for the cur-
rent McCarthy for President
movement sweeping this campus
has come from the right wing ele-
ments of the study body. It seems
that none of them realize that
Senator McCarthy’s name is Eu-
gene, not Joseph.

Review of the New Right Wing

by Ray Bertrand

Israel is an extremely small
nation on the eastern shore of
the Mediterranean Sea, Born in
1948, it is flanked by Lebanon,
Jordan, Syria, and Egypt. Left-
ists have accused this young coun-
try of unprovoked aggression
against these four nations in ac-
cordance with a Zionist plot.

The United States government,
although it may not be cognizant
of the fact, has a great stake in
Israel, as do all democratic ad-
ministrations in the world. Is-
rael is the the sole nation in the
Middle East whose history sub-
stantiates it to be anti-Commun-
ist, peace-loving and demo-
cratic.

Nasser’s Egypt is the direct
antithesis of these attributes. But
Uncle Sam, partly because of its
prolonged engagement in South-
east Asia and partly because of
its interest in the vast oil re-
serves of some Arabnations, has
been neutral officially.

The argument that Israel was
the aggressor in the Six-Day War
is absurd. They may have launch-
ed the first offensive, but this
doesn’t necessarily warrant the
title of Zionist aggression. An

Lnvisible Man On Campus

by JIM SMALL

The season for politics, both
on campus and off, is now upon
us. A great deal of the election-
eering in the presidential raceis
in our hands, and predictably,we
are handling it idealistically.

Idealism is not a bad word, but
there are certain responsibilities
which go along with the idealistic
support of the candidates by col-
lege students. One of these, in
fact the primary one, is my stock
expression-rational thought.

Many of the candidates for the
office of President of the United
States are taking stands which
will appeal to the attitudes of col-
lege students who are searching
for peace, The combatants for the
Democratic nomination, exclud-
ing the incumbent LBJ, are at
present sharing the attentions of
the Americans who are looking
for peace.

I don’t intend to campaign, in
this column, for either of the two
Democratic hopefuls. What I will
do-is propose what I feel + ~

an equitable solution to our diffi~
culties, and suggest that ail ofus
consider it, or like proposals, be-
fore we work too ardently for
either of these men.

Any of you who have ever taken
an introductory course inanthro-~
plogy know that the basic cause
of war is a conflict between the
norms of two or more cultures or
societies. War is fought on the
premise that the stronger of the
cultures has been able to take ad~
vantage of its opponent(s)’ weak-
ness.

The other solution that has of-
ten been found to the conflict of
norms is what we refer to as ne-
gotiation. By this means the battle
between the societies may be
avuided or stopped.

Negotiation, and cooperation
after negotiation, is what I pro-
pose to be the ideal solution to
the problem which faces us inour
various conflicts with “commu-

To negotiate intelligently, the
parties involved must become ac-
quainted with each other’s ideals.
This adds to my proposal that
travel and trade bans be dropped,
so that we can meet the people
we have been told are our ene-
mies,

From the above type of plat-
form, one can go to any length;
such as the destruction of all
nuclear weapons, to save Man
from himself.

T suggest that you consider the
above ideas, and then campaign
for the candidate who is willing
not only to stop war, but also
to befriend the people we have
called our ‘‘enemies,’*

This is a big bill to fill, but if
we wait for the election in 1972
to start, our chances of com-
pleting anything like this will be
diminished by every advance
made in the various fields of mili-
tary science het *

analogy may illustrate my con-
tention. When one is surrounded
by rattlesnakes, who have coiled
up in the position of attack, one
shoots before he waits for the
snakebite,

Moshe Dayan, whom the Left
sees as another Hitler, executed
the only option he had. He hit the
adversary fast and hard(perhaps
the U.S, could learn a lesson to
utilize in its Vietnam tactics),
and won a decisive victory ina
brief period of time, capturing
Arab lands, some of which in all
fairness belong to Israel.

Now the Arabs are crying for
the return of all confiscated ter-
ritory. Had the Arabs won the
war, I’m sure that the alterna-
tive of relinquishing Israel to
Levi Eshkol’s government would
not cross King Nasser’s cran-
ium. But, of course, the weeping
and gnashing of teeth persists,

The Arabs still claim that Is-
rael is rightfully theirs, The
country of Palestine, they state,
was snatched from them, render-
ing to Arabs a grave injustice,

To whom does the area mean
more, if that is at all relative?
Compared to the extensive tech.
nological progress made under
twenty years of Hebrew inhabi-
tance, the advancement of the
Arabs in what was Palestine
seems hopelessly insignificant.
The Jews have returned Israel to
a promised land through science
and industry. To them israel is
@ realization of centuries of faith
and trust,

Why anyone American can side
against justice and democracy is
beyond my comprehension. How-
ever, the antics of today’s ex-
treme left wing are often diffi-
cult to understand,

The Arabs also have logical
points, but none justify proposed
aggression and troop build-up on
Israel’s borders. Perhaps the
principal reason I side with the
Israelis is the Communist ques-
tion. Wherever insurgencies and
war exist in the world of today,
some assemblage of the Commu-
nists seems to be responsible.

It was obvious that the Rus-
sians were striving for an Arab
victory. Although I realize that
the picture is never totally black
and white, I find that if one sides
against the Commies, he’s mor-
ally right ninety-nine out of one
hundred instances. ?’'m convinc-

> right in regard to Israel.

‘Sounds’ Unlimited
Bright, New Group

In Rathskeller

by Gary Gelt

Sounds Unlimited, the third
group in the Coffee House ser-
fes, is by far the best group
sponsored by the Campus Center
Governing Board.

The Sounds Unlimited began
their performance with a bright
rendition of ‘‘Everything’s Com-
ing Up Roses.’”’ Their next num-
ber, **You Were On My Mind,”
began softly and quietly and had
a strong Christy-Minstrel-like
end.

The group performed a series
of songs that they lumped under
the category ‘Oldies But Good-
ies.’? The numbers ranged from
“King of the Road’? to the Mick-
ey Mouse Club theme. The three
performers, Erica Schmitz, Dick
Seale and Jon Adelson, demon-
strated a fine flair for light ly-
rics and comedy. In short, the
Series of songs was very en-
tertaining.

Erica Schmitz then began “Try
To Remember” from ‘‘The Fan-
tasticks.’’? When the entire group
sang, the number became the
haunting melody that it is.

After introducing the next song
as a South Carolina folk ballad,
Jon Adelson soloed with ‘Hava
Nagila.’? The song is ahandclap-
ping, toe tapping number which
Adelson performed to the utmost.

They ended the show with the
French and English versions of
*¢what Now My Love.”? The song
was particularly weak for a fin-
ale, and the group may havedone
better by performing ‘*Hava Na-
gila’? for the show stopping end.

Sounds Unlimited performs
songs from every part ofthe mus-
ical world. They do Broadway
numbers, folk, rock and comedy
with ease and a certain natural-
ness. They look like they are hav-
ing a great time while working,
and this feeling of enthusiasm is
transmitted to the audience,

Sounds Unlimited proves that
the Coffee House Circuit is cap-
able of bringing bright, new
groups to the University. Their
last performance is tomorrow
night — don’t miss it if at all
possible.

Judy Collin’s Wildflowers”

Vibrations

by Paula Camardella

Last week, a friend of mine
came running into the room and
enthusiastically said, “Oh,
you've just got to listen to this
new album I bought. It’s great!!’?
Well, she was right.

The album is called ‘“Wild-
flowers,’? by Judy Collins. The
title is very apropos; she is
“turning time into flowers,’ and
the album is dedicated ‘for you
who've been traveling so long.’?
The first song, “Michael From
Mountains,” prepares the listen-
er for the sparkly, tingling im-
pression which is_ present
throughout the entire album, The
beauty of the selections comes
from the simple, lovely imagery
which Judy Collins uses. It is
precisely this simplicity which
accentuates the richness and
warmth of the music. You don’t
find yourself lost in tiresome,
oppressive symbolism. One ex-
ample of this simplicity is ‘Sis-
ters of Mercy,’ which can mean
any kind of comfort that the lis-
teners wants it to mean, I think
these sisters of Mercy are stars,
but the song renders any inter-
pretation valid, Another illustra.
tion of the beautiful imagery is
the lyrics of “Hey, That’s No
Way to Say Good-bye’’:

“Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm’?

All the songs have a certain
lightness of sound due to the
accompainment of instruments
such as the flute, harp and

Reader’s Theatre Gives
Albert Camus Evening

A Reader’s Theatre produc-
tion of ‘An Evening with Albert
Camus”? will be presented in the
Assembly Hall of the Campus
Center at 8:15 p.m. on Friday
and Saturday nights, April 5 and
6.

Directed ana edited by Law-
rence B, Rosenfeld of the Dept.
of Speech and Dramatic Art, the
*fevening” will consist of two
readings. The first act will com-
prise Camus’ ‘The Stranger,’’
the second will consist of ‘The
Plague,’’ again by Camus.

Rosenfeld stated that he con-
densed both books for this rea-
der’s theatre version with the
goal of retaining, clarifying, and
emphasizing ‘*Camus’ philosophy
of the Absurd and his philosophy
of Revolt.”

R, Bruce Tiffany will play the
leading character of the first
book, ‘The Stranger.” This is
the doomec figure of the mur.
derer, Meurault. The main role

in “The Plague,’ the second
book, is that of Dr. Rieux. This
character will be portrayed by
Fred Penzel.

Rosenfeld said of these two
roles that ‘both men recognize
the Absurd.’ His version of the
first book will not, however, at-
tempt to answer the controver-
sial question (according to the
director) of whether Meurault
ever actively participates in the
“Revolt” against this condition
of absurdity.

Rosenfeld stated that ‘The
Plague” is an allegory on the
German occupation, though on
the larger scale the symbol ‘the
plague’? is representative of war.
He added that Dr. Rieux is ina
definite temperament of revolt
against the absurdity of warfare.

Others in the cast of the pro-
duction are Allan Bennett, Ruth
Friedner, Greg Thompson, Phil-
lip King, Alan Davis, Stratton
Rawson ste Parry Schienberg.

celesta, and of course the soft,

coaxing voice of Judy Collins
herself.

“wildflowers” is a springy-
type album. Each song ends with
an optimistic outlook, which is
a welcome change from the cold
pessimism which pervades too
many albums. “Both Sides Now,”
although it begins with the dis-
illusionment of love and life,
resolves itself to a feeling of
hope:

“Love’s illusions I recall,

. . »But something’s gained
in living every day.””

This same optimism is also
revealed in “Hey, That’s No
Way To Say Goodbye’?:

“Now it’s come to distances,
And both of us must try.

Your eyes are soft with sorrow.
Hey, that’s no way to say
goodbye,”*

The themes of the selections
are not new—love, happiness,
a carefree spirit. Yet the ex-
pressiveness of the lyrics and
melodies make Judy Collin’s al-
bum as fresh as a spring wild-
flower.

Intermedia Ends
On Pointless Note

by Robert B. Cutty

I am beginning to feel more
like a feature reporter than an
arts critic. Certainly I can do
nothing more than describe the
activities featured at the final
programs in the INTERMEDIA
68 series.

On Tuesday, Aldo Tambellini
graced this campus with his new
art forms, ‘Black Media’? and
“Electro-Media,”” (1 hope I’m
spelling these names correctly),
Basically, Tambellini, as an ar-
tist, works with electronics
equipment (@s TV sets, Carousel
slide projectors, and movie pro-
jectors).

To create his ‘art works,’?
Tambellini uses video-tape, pic-
ture slides, and film; all of
these, in their natural state, are
black in color; that is to say,
completely colorless.

On these media, Tambellini
creates his art. He uses light
to achieve certain oscillating ef-
fects, acid and white paint to
etch and paint various designs,

The audience that observed the
results of Tambellini’s en-
deayors was rather obviously
bored with the whole thing. All
they could observe were a lot
of lights, most of them being
shined in their eyes, Further,
the feedback from the TV sets
was bombarding them with a
great din of sonic noise.

Artistically, Tambellini’s ef.

a ——

forts were fairly interesting. His
acid etchings had the nightmare
quality of agonized intestines,
But Tambellini has no under-
standing of the theatrical limita-
tions of film media: until he has
learned how to handle properly
the presentation of this form, he
will never succeed,

Of course, Allan Kaprow,
whose happening was staged
here last Friday in the podium
tunnels, had no problems at all
in entertaining his audience: they
were all helping him with his
happening,

And what was Kaprow’s ingen-
jous little stunt involved with?
Why it involved garbage, na-
turally. You see, in this happen-
ing @ntitled ‘‘Round Trip,”? which
is a pun, as will be obvious
later), two groups of people roll
balls towards each other, each
group ending at the other’s be-
ginning point,

As these balls were rolled to-
wards each other, they grew in
size, forming (literally)trom any
garbage found along the way (on
the sides of the tunnel, of course,
with additional contributions
from the janitorial statt),

I am not trying to imply that
Kaprow’s happening was not en-
joyable, I merely believe thathis
idea, ‘Round Trip,” was utterly
Pointless, One expected some-
thing with a little more imagin-
ation from “the father of happen-
ings.”

Midnight String Quartet

Reverie

by Walt Doherty

“Love Rhapsodies?? by the Mid-
night String Quartet follows the
pattern established by the pre-
vious Quartet albums of ‘‘listen-
ing” arrangements of popular
tunes @s well as some others
dating back quite a while) per-
formed by three stringed instru-
ments and either a piano or harp-
sicord.

The arrangements onthe whole
are pretty decent if not better.
They are always done tastefully
and never overdone. These are
for quiet listening pleasure,

The best songs on the album
are: “Impossible Dream” the
violins and the piano here give
just the right triumphant note
without getting carried away.
“Never My Love’? —the instru-
mentalization here is very good,
the song is played in a somewhat
lower key than the others giving
it more strength and the harpsi-
cord is used here with great
advantage—it contributes to the
mood beautifully. ‘Goin’ out of
My Head’?— this is fairly well
handled although it doesn’t quite
match the other two tunes men-
tioned.

One thing about the album that
is not so good is the selection
of other songs. It sounds like
“Background Time at the Movie
Night’? (which no one I know

could identify beyond that state

ment that it sounded like the
background musi¢ you hear at a
restaurant or in a movie), and
“Twilight Sonata,” These are all
played well and are completely
in keeping with the mood that the
Quartet is striving for; it just
depends on your personal taste
in what songs you like to hear,

If you already have one of the
Midnight String Quartet’s albums
and you like it, you'll like this
one, too; if you like listening
and dancing music, try it, you'll
probably enjoy it; if your taste
runs to folk or rock, forget it,
go get the new Cream album
(There’s an experience).

Fort Lauderdale Book..
Come On Down, Baby

by Charles Tallent

With the onset of spring, the
annual trek to Ft, Lauderdale is
on by thousands of vacationing
college students. The first ques-
tion asked by those students is
what?s going to happen down at
Lauderdale. William Haines and
William Taggart seem to have
the answer in their new book
“What Happens in Fort Lauder-
dale’? published by Grove Press,
The book complies supposedly
phicdemrasmtle student descrip-
actually is taking

Jazz Festival
Plans Announced

The University’s second an
nual Spring Jazz Festival has
become __ reality. Co-chairmen
Barry Schienberg and Ken Fisher
have planned the festival for
Thursday thru Saturday, May 2,
3 and 4,

Sponsored by the Special
Events Board, the festival will
begin Thursday night with the
Gary Burton Quartet in an out
door concert by the Campus Cen-
ter Garden area. Burton, on
vibes, is one of the jazz world’s
newest and exciting artists.

Featured in concert on Fri-
day and Saturday nights will be
some of the top names in jazz,
Herbie Mann and his quintet,
Dizzy Gillespie, the Charles
Lloyd Quartet, and Clarke Ter-
ry’s big band are set to head
line these shows. Contrary to
what has previously been sche-
duled, the Louis Armstrong con-
cert will not be held,

Friday and Saturday night con-
certs will be held in the gym
in the Physical Education Build-
ing. Block seating arrangements
are presently being planned, Any
fraternity, sorority or Quad in-
terested in purchasing block
seats are urged to call 462-
1201. Schienberg and Fisher feel
that the festival will be one of
the only opportunities to expose
the student body and the entire
community to an array of jazz
men of such high caliber. The
chairmen hope that the festival
will reach larger audiences than
last year’s festival played to.

Tom Paxton, will be appearing here in concert tomorrow night in the Campus Center Ball-

room. With him will be the comedy team of Elias and Shaw. The concert is part of Freshman
Class Weekend.

"The Graduate’’

Films

by Dave Bardwell

I enjoyed Mike Nichols’ ‘The
Graduate” (Palace Theatre) but
I have doubts about how good it
is. Does it really break out of
the Hollywood stereotypes? For
a while it looks as if it might,
but inklings of a certain dis-
honesty are confirmed by an end-
ing that struggles not to be the
cop-out it finally is.

The graduate is Ben, an ami-
able, simple fellow who returns
to his wealthy family ‘*sorta dis-
turbed about things in general.’*
His parents and their friends
are stupid and unfeeling. Out of
loneliness he is drawn into an
affair with an older woman, the
main result of which is his fall-
ing in love with her daughter.
The girl finds out about the
affair and throws Ben over. He
follows her back to college and
makes some attempts at recon
ciliation, but she abruptly leaves
to marry a slick Joe College
type. Ben pursues them, but ar-
rives just after the ‘I do’s”
have been said. Nonetheless, in
a really funny scene, he snatches
the bride, fends off the assemb-
led families with a huge crucifix,
and the two leap onto a passing
bus. The end.

Now this film is easy to like.
First, the lead isplayed by Dustin
Hoffman, a pleasant young actor
with something of the simple,
Sta-Prest good looks of Jack
Lemmon. Anne Bancroft givesus
a convincing manhungry matron.
Katharine Ross is adequate as
Elaine, The Simon & Garfunkel
soundtrack knits the narrative

together very well. The comedy
— and the film is at many
moments screamingly funny —
derives mainly from that under-
played deadpan Nichols-May
style, paced to puncture contem-
porary banalities. The direction
is clever, (except for those ubi-
quitous telephotos), and some-
times — as in the analogy be-
tween Ben’s fishtank and his pa-
rents’ swimming pool — truly
revealing.

Why, then, does the film fail
to satisfy? Partly, I think, be-
cause beneath the comedy-of-
manners surface there is not
enough sense of real life. Why
doesn’t Ben have to worry about
the draft? Why is there no men-
tion of the Vietnam war, or
psychedelics, or just some tangi-
ble economic facts? I’m not ask-
ing for another ‘*Masculine Fem-
inine” (if I were, I wouldn’t ask
Nichols), but it seems to me that
any account of contemporary
youth’s malaise must take these
things into account.

A more serious objection is
that the cards have been stacked
too neatly in Youth’s favor. Where
Godard is detached enough to re-
tain a sense of irony about his
young people, Nichols gives us
kids who shine like seraphim
amid adults who are crass
phonies cruelly using the young
for gratification. The accuracy
of this portrait of the predatory
grownup is both the film’s prime
virtue — for it reproduces the
surface behavior brilliantly —
and its chief deficiency — for

The Yardbirds

Fourth Time Around

by Igor Koroluk

Last Thursday night at the
Aerodrome, the Yardbirds show-
ed why rock was revived in Eng-
land and why English groups
still dominate the creativity in
rock, When they took the stage,
they were music—no arrogance,
no hang ups they knew they were
performers; they knew what they
could do, and they gave it every-
thing. Their professionalism was
almost as impressive as their
obvious love for what they were
doing,

The Yardbirds, like so many
English groups, started as ablues
band. Of all those original groups
they were probably the most
traditional Chicago-blues orient-
ed, but gradualiy their sound de-
velopment into what was called
simply “electronic blues.’’

Probably the best example of
this sound can be found on their
“Rave-up” album, notably in
“Tm A Man’ and “Train Kept
A-Rollin,’”?

The group has withgone many
personal changes since their

founding but has managed to keep
their distinctive sound.

Watching them, I was immed-
jately impressed with their
absorption in their music andthe
undated quality of their old songs.
When listening to old Yardbird
material, it becomes quite evi-
dent where much of the West
Coast Sound was derived—all the
basic elements are contained
right there,

The lead guitarist is fantastic,
He looks about nine feet tall and
one inch wide with an arm span
as long as his body. He coaxes,
teases, ridicules, and managed
to pull every sound possible for
his axe, and then he goes one up
and pulls out some unheard of
sounds by playing his guitar with
a bow. He’s fantastic!

Unfortunately the performance
was marred by overly loud amps
which cut the vocals badly and
marred by a very audience.
There were only 300 people and
with a little simple arthmetic
it becomes apparent that some-

body lost, Hopefully, this will not
affect the Aerodrome’s policy
of trying to get big name per-
sonalities, but you will have to
admit somebody is going to think
twice before booking a group as
famous and therefore as expen-
Sive as the Yardbirds.

This weekend is bringing the
fantastic Jimi Hendrix Exper-
ience in concert in Troy and
the Ultimate Spinach back to the
Aerodrome,

The Spinach is a very talented
group, and it may prove worth
while seeing them, Their music
still lacks a distinctive sound
with which you could label the
group. It is more of a composite
Jefferson Airplane, Doors, and
Country Joe and the Fish with
a little advanced Blues Project
thrown in for good measure,
Nevertheless, their sound is
good, entertaining, and if they
don’t have any problems with
blown amps it may even prove
highly imaginative.-

we're never given any sympathe-
tic insights into the adults’ char-
acters. Like most indictments,
this states the case in blacks
and whites, showing no greys.

The ending bothers me most.
We want Ben to win Elaineandby
all the laws of Hollywood he
should; so when she’s married,
Nichols seems to be tossing out
the cliches. But he cheats on
his story the way Coppola did in
“*You’re a Big Boy Now’’(another
rites-de-passage story): by re-
sorting to Hollywood slapstick—
in that film a Keystone Kops
chase, in this a daring heroic
rescue. Both are smokescreen
tactics to divert us from watch-
ing a plotline falling to shreds.
Elaine behaves motivelessly
enough in getting married, but
when she suddenly runs off with
Ben, all character-logic evapor-
ates. The fake ambiguity of the
ending — the two of them on a
bus, headed for where ? — can-
not really pull this inconsistency
off. Nichols might have better
lived up to the promise of the
story by having Ben win Elaine a
little less splashily, with more
relevance toadequate motivation.
But then perhaps the ending would
not be so conventional and safe,
Nichols would not be directing in
Hollywood, and ‘*The Graduate’?
would not be the box-office suc-
cess it is.

Paxton Concert

Tomorrow Night
In C.C. Ballroom

Tom Paxton, one of the most
prominent young singers and
composers on the current folk
scene, will be appearing here in
concert on Saturday, April 6,
under the auspices of the Fresh-
man Class.

Two performances are sche-
duled here for 7:30 and 9:45,
both in the Campus Center Ball-
room. Tickets will be on sale
Tuesday through Friday at the
Information Desk in the Campus
Center and will cost $1.50 with
student tax and $2.50 without,

Not strickly a “protest singer,
Paxton follows more in the tradi-
tion of such geniuses of variety
as Woody Guthrie and the free-
wheeling Pete Seeger. The topics
covered by his music rangefrom
religion, love, and war to air
Pollution, auto safety, and pop
art.

He has recorded four albums
on the Elektra label which re-
Present a wide cross-section of
the many modes of musical ex-
pression which he has mastered,

Among his most well-known
compositions are ‘Ramblin’
Boy,’’ the lovely ballad popular-
ized the world over by Pete
Seeger, ‘Bottle of Wine,’? and
the now famous anti-Vietnam pro-
test, ‘Lyndon Johnson Told the
Nation,’”

Paxton has had great success
as a performer both here and
abroad. He has appeared at Car-
negie, Philharmonic, and Town
Halls in New York, and has play-
ed to a sell-out crowd of seven
thousand at London’s Albert Hall,

On stage, Tom Paxton exhibits
wit, verve, and a fine sense of
the sardonic. His easy manner
and sense of humor make his
audience immediately at ease and.
receptive to his music.

Concert Band
Expands In Size

Within the past few years the
University Concert Band has par-
alleled the expansion of the Uni-
versity in both size and quality.
The band now boasts a comple-
ment of over seventy students
and performs works of the high-
est difficulty, including com-
positions written expressly for
it.

Aided by the recent growth of
the music department, the con-
cert band now finds itself in a
most advantageous position, Fa-
culty members are available for
private lessons as well as for
coaching small ensembles,

Six of the band members are
music majors, while the other
students are mostly performers
who have played first chair in
high school. Thus the caliber
of the musicianship has increas-
ed greatly within even one year.

Mr. William Hudson, director
of the University Concert Band,
has scheduled sectional rehear-
sals in addition to the two ninety
minute meetings during the week.
The results of this practice will
be exhibited in the most exten-
sive series of band concerts,
Encouraged by a very success-
ful trip to Expo 67 in Montreal,
the band has scheduled perfor-
mances this semester in Cortland
and Ossining.

Margison Is MVP
He, Price Captains

Rich Margison received four
honors, and Scott Price and Tom
Doody one apiece last Thursday
at the basketball team’s annual
post-season banquet,

In recognition of their contri-
butions tothis year’s 18-4 edition,
junior standouts Margison and
Price were electedco-captains of
next years squad. The two com-
bined for nearly 40 pints per
game (Margison 23.5 and Price
15,9), and for over 20 rebounds
a uae (Price 11.4 and Margison
8.9).

Margison, whose point total
and point per game average, both
rank as the second best in Albany

basketball history, was also
awarded the coveted Most
Valuable Player award. In

addition Rich was recognized
as the teams best foul
shooter as he turned in a fine
80.5 per cent mark,

The 100 per cent award, which
is determined by coach Sauers’
mathmatical computation of each
man’s performance without the
ball, also went to Margison.

Senior guard Tom Doody was
honored as the teams Most Im-
proved Player. In making the
award Sauers commented that
*'Tom’s contributions, especially
after the loss of Bob Wood, were
a major factor in our success
this season.”

Letter winners were as fol-
lows: Jack Adams, a sophomore,
Jim Caverly, a junior, Tom
Doody, a senior, Tim Jursak, a
senior, Larry Marcus, a senior,
Rich Margison, a junior, Scott
Price, a junior, and Bob Wood,
a junior.

The tops in this year’s AMIA softball were scheduled to begin competition yesterday,
and thus inaugurate the 1968 intramural softball season. League I will be making several
innovations this year, both in scheduling arrangements and playing site. A total of eight
teams will be contending for the prized league trophy, now held by defending champs
Alpha Pi Alpha, who survived the ’67 season with an unblemished record.

Last year, each team
faced each other twice.This

along with bad weather made
completion of the season
a problem. This has hope-
fully been remedied.
New Scheduling System
This year, with eight
teams in the league, each
team will play each other once.
The top four teams of this seven
game season will enter a post-
season play-off tournament. The
league champion will be the team
ending with the best overall re-
cord, that is, combining both sea-

son and round-robin tournament
-esults.

Back to contend for the league
trophy are Alpha Pi Alpha, cap-
tained by Gary Torino, Potter
Club. headed by Joe La Reau,
Kappa Beta, led by Jack Backus,
and Sigma Tau Beta, mentored
by Tom Nixon.

The games will be played on the
newly marked-out fieldbehind the
Dutch Quadrangle. In previous
years, the games were played on
the League I diamond opposite
University Field, near the Alumni
Quadrangle.

4 New Entries

To add more competition to

these Greek ballclubs will be
newly entered ball teams T:
Hall, Johnson Hall, and Theta Xi
Omega. The Comets, who handily
won the League II championship
last year, have decided tostepup
to League I competition.

Tappan Hall will be led by John
Prescia. Captain of Johnson Hall

Handball Tournament,

Swim Meet

The first AMIA swim meet got
under way on Monday, with the
holding of trials in two events,
the 100 yard breaststroke and
the 100 yard freestyle. The turn
out for the trials was somewhat
less than had been anticipated,
as only the State UniversitySwim
Club, APA, STB, and UFS, had
team entries. Therefore the 100
free and the 100 breaststroke
were the only events with more
than six entries. In all other
events all entries were auto-
matically advanced to the finals,

Another AMIA first will also
be completed this week, as the
handball tournament will be com-

had been cut tothree contestants.
Bill Schryer had advanced all the
way to the finals, scoring two
2-0 wins, a 2-1 over Don Oppedi-

on a forfeit. On the other side of
the draw Mark Shustak and John

Four Lettermen Returning

To Bolster Tennis Squad

This year’s Tennis team, coached: by Merlin Hathaway, revolves around a nucleus
of four returning lettermen. Although the team lost two of its outstanding performers
when Ken Zacharias and George Nicosia graduated, coach Hathaway is hoping that
his men will be abletomoveupa step in competition and meet the challenge satisfactorily.

In addition to this four
lettermen, coach Hathaway
is counting on the develop-
ment of a couple of sopho-
mores who have moved up
from last year’s freshmen
team to compete on the
varsity level.

Brian McDermott, Tom Wolen-
cik, Marty Bergen and Darrel
Karp are the four lettermen on
whom coach Hathaway is basing
his hopes for a winning season.

McDermott, last year’s num-
ber two man is probably the
strongest candidate on this year’s
team. He will be in the first
spot for the squad this year
and will therefore be facing
tougher competition than was the
case last year. Hathaway, how-
ever, commented that he expects
Brian to be much improved over
last year as he spent much of
the summer competing in tourna-
ments in the area,

Coach Hathaway also stated
that the play of Tom Wolencik
has greatly improved. Con
sequently, he expects that Tom
will be a valuable asset to the
féam’s success in this year’s
‘compétition,

The mentor of the team, how-
ever, was disappointed with
Marty Bergen and Darrel Karp
as they both reported out of play-
ing shape. The success of the
team depends to a large extent
on whether or not these two can
get into shape before the season
opener,

Ira Outstatcher and Jeff
Faulkner were mentioned as two
sophomores who could contribute
to the success of the team. In
addition, Dennis O'Leary, a jun-
jor who did not compete in his
first two years was cited as a
Possible starter for this year’s
squad.

Mr. Hathaway commented that
his team will be at a disadvan.
tage as a result of the way that
spring recess is scheduled. He
related that many of the teams
which Albany will be competing
against will have already parti-
cipated in most of their schedule
before Albany plays them.

Baseball Squad Faced
With Heavy Schedule

by Jim Winslow

Having to contend with a fluke
in scheduling, Albany State’s var-
sity baseball team will initiate
its season with eight games in
ten days. To make matters worse
all eight. games will be played
during SUNY at Albany’s spring
recess!

Coach Burlingame’s eighteen
game schedule begins with what
he termed “probably our toughest
competition,” the University of
pier on Thursday, April

Oswego, reigning champion of
the state school loop and a team
which Albany has never beaten,
will play the Danes on &
April 20, in a doubleheader be-
ginning at one o’clock. All home
games will be played at the new
campus atheltic field.

“T can’t emphasize enough the

tact that these first eight games

are crucial,” Burlingame said,
“We would like to see as many
area students as possible at the
games during the vacation,” he
emphasized,

“We have a tough schedule but
I believe we have the talent to
meet the challenge presented,’*
he continued.

The probable starting lineup
shows Jim Murley, the center-
fielder, leading off. Second base-
man Paul Leonetti will bat second
but is being crowded by soph
Tom Decker. Junior first base- _
man Jack Sinnott will bat third
and shortstop Denny Elkin will
hold down the cleanup spot,

Soph catcher Jim Sandy will
most probably bat fifth, Two
transfers will hold down the next
two spots, Jim Rourke, a junior
transfer from Delhi, will hold
the left field spot and bat sixth,
Junior Joe St. Onge, a transfer
from Hudson Valley Community,
will follow and play third base.
Joe is a shortstop by trade but
has shown great promise as a
third sacker.

Looking at the pitching, the
Danes are deep in experience,
Righthanders Cas Galka, George
Webb, and Tom Egleston will
carry most.of the pitching load
as starters, Coach Burlingame
considers senior Tom Piotrow-
ski his best fireman and has
high hopes for lefty Rich Patrei,
Rounding out the corps of mounds-
men are sophomores Dick Spiers
and Rick Bardeschewski.

Dune

Shote

by Duncan Nixon
Sports Editor

Albany State’s spring sports schedule this year is
really quite impressive. The baseball team is faced with
a tough eighteen game schedule, but Coach Burlingame’s
crew promises to be one of the most successful nines
in recent years. Third baseman Andy Christianwas the
only starter to graduate, and last year’s freshmen in-
clude some fine prospects. With a seven man pitching
staff of Tom Egelston, Cas Galka, George Webb, Rich
Patrei, Tom Piotrowski, and sophomores Rich Barde-
schewski, and Rich Spiers, Burlingame has by far the
deepest pitching staff in quite some time.

Hitting was the team’s major weakness last year, but
this department will, hopefully, be improved consider-
ably, by the further development of the returnees, and
by the addition of sophomores Jim Sandy, Tom Decker,
and Steve Flood. Jack Sinnott, last year’s leading hit-
ter, returns, as do Denny Elkin, George Webb, Jim Mur-
ley and Paul Leonetti.

The prospects for golf and tennis, the other two var-
sity level sports, are some what uncertain. The golf
team has a fine four man nucleus returning. Craig Luth-
or, Brian Hill, Ray McCloat, and Bill Prendergast are
all experienced golfers, but after them the team is
lacking in experience and depth. The tennis team has
top returnees in Ron McDermott, and Marty Bergan,
but the team is pretty thin overall.

Besides these sports, Albany State will also be com-
peting in three club sports, two of which are entirely
new, and one of which is in its second year. The track
and field club, under the direction of coaches R. Keith
Munsey and Brian Kelly, is an expansion of last year’s
track club. Due to a years head start, and some fine
cross country runners, it looks like the club will be
strongest in the track events. The 880, the mile and the
two-mile look especially strong, with cross-country run-
ners like the Myers brothers, Mike Attwell, Larry Fred-
erick, and Paul Roy leading the way and once againBasil
Morgan should be outstanding in the sprints. Most of
the field events are still unsettled, but it looks like the
broad jump, and the javelin may be strong points.

Of the two new sports, lacrosse and sailing, lacrosse
probably has the greater appeal. A fast moving and rug-
ged sport, lacrosse is an ideal spectator sport, that is
from the spectator’s point of view similar to ice
hockey. Coach Joseph Silvey is quite optimistic about the
coming season, despite the fact that this is a first year
team sport. He seems to feel that the team is capable
of turning in an excellent season. The Sailing club only
started practice this last weekend, and sailing is a sport
that takes a lot of know-how and teamwork, but the team
is boldly moving into competition with some excellent
schools, and by the end of the season it should be able
to make a good showing.

One major problem that will arise, in regard to
reporting spring sports is the schedule. For three weeks
now there have been no varsity sports events to report,
however between now and the next issue of the ASP,
which will be May 3, the varsity tennis team will play
half its schedule, and baseball and golf will have com-
pleted most of their schedules. This unfortunate develop-
ment is a result of a last minute change in the spring
recess which resulted in a host of athletic contests
being scheduled for times wheh there will be no one
here to watch. Thus there is little we will be able to do
but pick up the respective teams at the half-way point,
and follow them from there.

APA Scores Over Potter,

Cops Commissioner’sCup

POTTER'S JOE LAREAU HAD A HOT HAND early in the
second half, but APA’s shooting proved to be too much for

The Club.

“A” Team Edges Siena,

“B” Team Falls To RPI

Albany State’s first team scor-
ed a close 57-55 win over Siena
B on Wednesday, while the second
team dropped a 63-54 decision
to RPI B.

In the Albany A team’s game,
the start was slow and sluggish
as neither team could generate
much of a offense. Albany mov-
ed to a brief five point lead, but
Siena came back to tie at the
halftime mark 24-24, Albany’s
scoring was well spread, as Ed
Cole led with 5.

The second half wasadifferent
story entirely, as both teams got
hot, and shooting duel developed
between Albany’s Ray McCloat
and Denny Elkin, and Siena’s
Hank Debbin and Joe Mullin, The
lead switched back and forth
early in the half, but about mid-
way through the half McCloat
hit two quick jumpers and then
fed Elkin on a fast break and
Albany led by six.

For the remainder of thegame
Siena was forced to play desper-
ate catch-up basketball. With Deb-
bin leading the way Siena did cut
the gap to two with less than a
minute left, but Gary Torino hit
two clutch foul shots to up the
lead to four. Siena closed to two
again, and then regained control
with seven seconds left, but their
last desperation shot was off the
mark.

Leading scorers for Albany
were McCloat with 15, 11 of them
in the second half, and Elkin
with 14, 10 in the second half.
Debbin hit 14 of his 18 in the
second half, while Mullins got 7
of his 11 after halftime.

Albany’s second team, playing
without a single game pre-game

practice, looked like a well-drill-
ed team as they jumped into an
early lead on the shooting of Jack
Sinnott and George Webb, but
their shooting cooled off late in
the half and RPI’s Chi Phi team
came on strong to edge ahead
32-31 at the half,

In the second half Chi Phi
jumped into an early lead and
held on to a lead of a least four
throughtout. Pat Reed’s aggres-
sive board work kept the Albany
squad in contention, but Chi Phi’s
organization and shooting simply
proved to be too much,

Jack Sinnott led the scoring for
Albany, dumping in 15, while
Reed hit 12 of his 13 in the sec-
ond half, mainly on short jump-
ers after offensive rebounds,

Chris Lynch was high for RPI,
as he tossed in 22 mostly on out-
side jumpers.

In both games Albany was play-
ing against teams that had
played together all year, and al-
though both Albany Teams work-
ed the ball reasonably well, they
lacked the cohesion that comes
from playing together all year,

With Denny Elkin tossing in 18
and Bill Moon 11, APA I rolled
to a decisive 44-35 win in the
finals of the Commissioner’s Cup
Tournament last Tuesday.

The game was a complete re-
versal of the League I champion-
ship game, which Potter won 44-
28, APA played a harassing man
to man defense, and on offense,
moved the ball slowly and de
liberately, waiting for good shots.

This stategy paid off, as APA
jumped into an early lead, and
maintained a 5-9 point lead
throughout the first half. Elkin
had ten and Moon 7 as APA
led 23-14 at intermission.

Potter closed the gap to three
early in the second half, Elkin’s
quick baskets gave APA a com-
fortable lead that they held the
rest of the way. George Webb
led Potter with 13, while Gary
Torino turned in a fine defensive
effort for APA,

In the consolation game Potter
TI gained an early lead and main-
tained it throughout for a 4%
40 win. Potter used its bench
to full advantage, running subs
in and out, and wearing down
their opposition. Ken Wilkes led
Potter with 15, while Dave
Wheeler was high man for the
Barons with 12,

APA In Finals Easily

In order to reach the finals
APA has to get past the Fly-
ing Jabones, the League IV
champs, and Potter II, who had
surprised KB I in the first round
of the tourney. Rich Spiers dump-
ed in 21 and Bill Moon contri-
buted 10 in APA’s 64-26 winover
the Flying Js, who simply did
not have the fire power to handle
a League team. :

On Sunday APA rolled over
Potter II by 2-58-40 count, APA
jumped into an early lead and
was never serious challenged,
Spiers had 15, Moon 12, and
Jack Sinnott 11 in leading APA’s
balanced attack, while John Rog-
ers had a hot hand for Potter,
tossing in 25, mostly on outside
jumpers.

Potter reached the finals by
outscoring Potter II 51-27, and
the Barons 49-47, Ray McCloat
hit'16, George Webb 12, and
John Soja 10 in the Club’s easy
win over their League Ill team.
Jerry Leggieri hit 10 for the
losers.

The Potter-Barons game on
Sunday was a real cliff-hanger.
The Barons jumped into an early
first half lead, but Potter came.
back strong to.tie 22-22 at inter-
mission, In the second half EEP
started to control the boards and
moved out in front, but the Bar-
ons fought back and were only
down by two with five seconds
left, but Terry Baxter’s jump
shot at the Buzzer was short,
Baxter led the Barons with 20,
while Dave Wheeler contributed
18, Once again Potter displayed
a well balanced attack, as Jim
MeVey and Pat Reed hit for 12,
and McCloat threw in 9.

bines the contact of football with the speed of soccer.
