Leise Well Aware of Power
by Ed Deady
Can students actually effect changes in the admini-
stration and organization of SUNYA?
“Students don’t realize how much power they
have,” says Rick Leise, chairman of Central Counc
But Leise is well aware of the power he and other
members of the Council have in determining how
the half-million dollars collected annually in student
tax will be allocated,
For those of you who aren't too sure what
students and faculty members elected to Central
Council are doing, ASP spoke to the Chairman
about its reponsibilities,
‘Central Council, as the chief legislative branch,
complete control of the student tax says Leise.
Ita main function is dealing with the distribution
and administration of some half-million dollars we
collect, We decide who gets it, how much, and how
it is to be used and that's our primary purpose,”
‘The council also makes position statements on
important campus problems and policies. It can
either issue position statements for itself as Central
Council or as the voice of the student body on such
things as tuition, tenure of faculty members and
other important campus topics,
Leise pointed out that our student government is
analogous to the national government with the
possible exception that Central Council is most
powerful-having the right to over-rule a Presidential
veto by a majoirty vote, “In fact, the Council may
over-rule any decision the President makes," Leise
said. “I don’t think anyone, even council members
themselves, realizes how much power they really
have."
One of the major difficulties that Leise has
encountered as chairman is trying to get the other
members of Central Councif to realize the import-
ance of their work. He feels that many of the
council members put their own personal interests
ahead of their constituents and therefore are not
fairly representing them. Leise claims that many of
the council members are letting their wes- emotions
and interests effect their vote. However, this does
not apply to the faculty members of the Council
who frequently abstain from voting on issues
directly effecting the student body. “They're the
most sobering influence on Central Council," says
Rick. “'I, as chairman, do not know what | would
have done without them.” Leise feels that the
faculty members are an essential part of the Council
and cause the student members to consider all
aspects of an issue,
Some of the major problems on campus that
Central Council is trying to resolve are crime and
James Williams of Security travelled to SUNY
Buffalo to see how their student security patrol
operated. They spent an entire day asking questions
and observing the work of the security patrol. “We
came back and gave a report to Mike [Lampert] and
we were very much in favor of it.” That's really the
only way to handle it, Otherwise we'll huve armed
police walking around campus and the student body
will never go for that," said Leise.
As for the parking problem, last year as a council
all photos by gary deutsch
member, Leise introduced a bill to allow students to.
park in the same areas as faculty und staff. Leise
feels that the only reason faculty members are
allowed to park closer to the podium than the
students is that it is one of the last remaining
vestiges of authority for the faculty. There has been
given no adequate reason why the faculty needs to
park closer than students as far as Leise is con-
cerned. Those who are incapacitated or have diffi-
culty walking could easily be granted appeals and
tiven assigned spots right next to the podium.
In regard to the parking lot at Colonial Quad,
Leise was dismayed with the fact that its surface is
as “cratered as the moon's.” He has tried for the
past two years to have that lot paved but always
with the same results. “They tell me that there are
no funds to pave the lot," says Leise, “How come
they can build a brand new lot right next to Dutch
Quad?”
Leixe would like to at lenst see commuter students
allowed to park up front with faculty and staff if it
becomes impossible to allow all students and faculty
equal privileges. Commuters would have the sume
reasons for wanting to park closer to the podium as
faculty and therefore, there would be no excuse for
keeping them in the back with resident students.
Another problem facing Central Council and the
aniversity in general is student apathy, Many stu
dents complain about life at SUNYA but few are
willing to take part in student government and
effect the needed changes to make the university a
better place. "I may be one of the few students who
really like it hro," says Leise.
Leise is definitely not a typically apathetic
SUNYA student. Besides being Chairman of Central
Council, he is a member of the University Senate,
member of the Student Affairs council of the
Senate, on the board of Directors of F.S.A.,
Chairman of his fraternity (Sign:a ‘Tau B
was a Summer Planning Conference Assistant
While he was a member of the Bourd of Diretors
of the F.S.A. Leise proposed a resolution to make
all students members of F.S.A. thus allowing them
to examine the books and attend board meetings at
anytime. He feels that the best way to involve more
students in university life is to better acquaint them
with the powers at their disposal which will aid
them in bringing about the changes they want.
“Changes can be made, but it’s tough,” says Lei
‘And he ought to know!

Art Students Stage
‘Draw Out’ for Funds
by Robert Decherd
About 75 art students stayed a
“draw out” on the second floor of
the administration building Friday
morning to protest alleged
funding discrimination against the
fine arts department,
The students, members of a
campus organization called the
“Art Council” demanded to meet
with President Benezet about the
art department's lack of funding.
When they were told that Benezet
was out of town, the group de-
cided to meet with 1, Moyer Huns
berger, Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, The “draw
out" lasted for several hours,
during which students sat in fron
of Benezet's office with their
sketch pads and pencils, Ac-
cording to a student spokesman,
the demonstration was intended
as a “show of solidarity” among
art students,
Among the student demands
—More teachers und courses
—More student assistantships for
safety and availability of space
after classroom hours,
—Live models for drawing,
painting and sculpting classes,
Improvements in the physical
, including safety ventilation
‘The students claim that their
department has not been funded
on the same level as have the
other disciplines, They cite figures
alleging that the Art Department
receives only one fifth the funding
received by the various science
departments, In addition, they
point out that the sciences receive
99% of all research grants,
“We have had to charge tab fees
for every class! explains graduate
student Corneila MeSheehy, one
of the organizers of the protest,
McSheehy stated that “the bio-
logy «epartment has bouts and
jeeps and the Art Department
can't even buy a can of kerosene
until April 1.” She also charged
that when equipment breaks
here is no money to have
The demonstration was precipi
tated by a recent administrative
order that art students pay all of
the fees for live models. One of
the students’ main objections has
been that they have to purchase
all of their own supplies which,
they claim, is extremely expensive
and limits creativity.
‘The protest was also intended as
an effort to assert the importance
of the arts in the University, One
student spokesman described the
prevalent mood towards the arts
on this campus as “anti-intellee-
tual.” In most of the European
countries, he pointed oul, the
state subsidizes art schools,
museums, and orchestras, Art

Hess finds “alot in common" between the “pure conservatives” as he calls them, and
the radicals. Both groups, he explained, stress anarchic tendencies.
Among his other remarks, Hess made tome observations about the future of American
labor unions, He claims that there will be “more rank and file activism” among unionists,
and he cites the recent strike at Chevrolet's Lordstown plant as an example of this, He
suggests that the workers at Lordstown “were striking for social rather than ecomonic
reasons”, and he sees this as an encouraging trend.

BIG CHANGES PLANNED FOR
editor's note: The judicial work-
shop steering committee, of which
Leila Moore is acting chairman,
has prepared the following sum-
mary of the proposed judicial|
system now being considered on|
campus,
A little more than a year ago, a
coalition of University Com-
munity members met to discuss
the problems of campus adjudica-
tion, We met as a community,
worked together as a community,
and have evolved a proposal for a
community judicial system. Sum-
marizing only the most basic
changes and inherent principles,
the Steering Committee for the
new judicial proposal would like
to present out community with a
capsulized view of the proposed
system,
Last year's workshop revealed
many undercurrents of change.
‘The participants had been charged
with the task of formulating a
new judicial system, developing
lines of jurisdiction, and develop-
ing adequate procedures for hand-
ling cases, But os discussion
reached its peak, it was realized
that what was really needed was a
major reorganization of the judi-
cial system - a reformation of the
mode of thinking upon which our
present judicial system was built.
‘The unification of all university
membera in the process of intel-
lectual growth, the rise in SUNYA
population, the abolition of such
restrictions as prohibition of alco-
hol in residence and curfew hours,
and especially the increase in in-
fractions of a more serious nature
made it clear that this university
can ill afford a judicial system
that is scaled to deal with out-
moded life styles and obsolete
social restrictions. Deficiencies
such as lack of organization, in-
consistently applied procedural
safeguards, absence of coordina-
tive efforts between and among
existent judicial bodies, lack of
means for redress (of many types)
of grievances, and ineffective
interrelationships between univer-
sity constituencies have made our
Present judicial system ineffec-
tual, There is clearly a need for
the creation of u new and more
effective judicial system. To abo-
iah, or at least to minimize, the
above-mentioned problems is the

SUNYA JUDICIAL
which such problems are correct
ed are: 1) hearings are open to the
public unless private hearings are
requested by the accused indivi-
dual or the complainant (the uni-
versity community will hopefully
become more involved in adjudi-
cation through public hearing
2) a written record of the pro-
ceedings would be available to
either the defendant or the com:
plainant upon request, thus insur-
ing fairness in the case of an
appeal; 3) conduct records would
be maintained by the Hearing
Board, and unless there were
pending court action against the
disposition of the case, records
would be destroyed two calendar
years after the specific sanctions
imposed in a case have been met
(In the present system, such re-
cords are maintained by university
officials and in some cases past
offenses may still be on record
two years after the individual has
graduated); 4) except with prior
written consent of the person
involved, no information in any
such record would be released to
any individual or group other than
another hearing body or an indivi-
dual within the university which/
who is concerned with hearing a
case in which the individual is
accused of a violation, This modi-
fication would insure that the
student's record be kept confiden-
tial; 6) notification of parents of
an ‘individual involved in disci-
plinary action would be a matter
of decision by the hearing board
‘on an individual case basis. (At
present, most official university
sanctions mandate that parents be
notified. This practice is some
times detrimental to the indivi
dual and to his profiting by having
been educated through the disci
plinary process. Further, the ac-
tion is antiquated in many in-
stances and, except in rare cases,
appears to be contrary to the
primary purpose for a campus
judicial system - that an individual
ix accountable to the community
for his actions; 6) all appeals,
whether official or unofficial dis-
ciplinary action, are channeled
through one route (Unlike the
present system, it is assumed in
the new system that students can
competently decide upon appeals
of cases where official university
iction has been recommended.).
All-mportant Fairness
The above points are only the
most significant changes within
the student segment of the pro-
posed judicial system, Sanctions
have also been redefined and regu-
lations modified, bringing the stu-
dent disciplinary process, albeit
long overdue, more in line with
the disciplinary processes available
to other constituencies. These
modifications uchieve the all
important fairness while providing
a well-defined organizational
structure within which the stu-
dent adjudicatory process can
operate.
Central Issues
‘The new judicial proposal, after
having been reviewed by many
individuals and groups during the
past six months, appears to con-
tain two primary matters of con-
cern which relate to the under-
lying philosophy of the proposal,
A third concern frequently ex-
pressed, has to do with the feasi-
bility of implementing the system
in a manner that will not confuse
the university community.
Bearing in mind that the pro-
posal seeks in part to strengthen
the role of university community
memebers and constituent groups
in dealing fairly and equitably
with conduct, each member of
this university community must
realize that the new judicial
system claims the right of the
university to deal with violations
of the law as well as with viola
tions of regulations relevant only
to the university community.

not a matter of double jeopardy
when the campus sdjudicatory
bodies deal with a case while the
case is also being heard in a court
of law?”
‘The university judicial system is
not attempting to usurp the
authority of criminal courts, It is
a subsystem of the traditional
court system, in the same way
that military tribunals and admin-
istrative hearings are, Often a uni
versity judicial system is best
equipped to handle cases which
occur within its jurisdiction, If
“trial by peers” is a prerequisite
of justice, then how can justice be
better accomplished than by pro-
viding that
stituency adjudicate
volving its members? University
adjudication has been practiced
here for many years, although it
has been recently that the cases
have become more serious in na-
ture, However, instances of theft,
assault, vandalism, slander, dis
honesty and many other potential
“court cases" exist now within
every constituent group com-
prising this university, and uni-
versally the conxern is und alw:
has been for the individual and hix
role within the university. Every
procedure for adjudicating cases,
now in practice or proposed, pro:
vides not for a means of avoiding
the courts of law but for indivi-
dual decisions to be made with
regard to the relevance of court
action to the offense, Nothing in
the proposal usurps the right of
the individual to seek recourse in
a court of law: it follows, then,
that nothing in the proposal
should usurp the right of a consti-
tuent group to seek recourse in
the same fashion-on an individual
basis
"Too Poiitical’’:
SYSTEM
Violations of the law may also
be violations of university regu:
lations, in which case the unk
versity reserves the right to hear
such cases even though they may
also be in process in criminal
court, Is this “double jeopardy"?
To draw a parallel, violations of
state law may also be violations of
federal law; in such instances, the
violator is subject to two trials—
‘one for the state offense and one
for the federal offense, even
though » single act resulted in two
concomitant violations, Both the
state and federal governments re-
tain the right to hear such » case
because cach has differing jurie
dictions, Double jeopardy is not
involved, The same reasoning ap-
pliew to the university, Our juris
diction is directed only toward
the SUNYA community, When
the case of a violation of this sort
is heard within the university,
such a hearing constitutes the
reconsideration of the status of
the individual over whom the uni-
versity has jurisdiction, As well as
affecting the relationship? of #
university member to the outside
community, « violation may also
affect the’ relationship of this
member within the university.
Therefore, the university reserves
the right’ to hear such a case
because it falls within the univers
sity's jurisdiction, Since double
jeopurdy upplies only to the same
case being heard twice by courts
of the same jurisdiction, double
jeopardy does not apply to univer:
sity adjudication concurrent with
criminal court adjudication,
Lustly, the problem of imple-
menting the proposed judicial
system remains to be considered,
Our intent ls to seek recognition
of the system as the judicial
branch of government within the
University Senate, which is recog-
nized as the primary governing
body for university matter, We
feel that the need for legitimacy
for the aystem is best satisfied in
pursuing such recognition , Re-
gardlessof the ultimate “home” of
the judicfal system, however, im-
plementation is not difficult be
cause it simply entails the encom-
passing of constituent judicial pro-
cesses within an overall judicial
system, The only major modifi-
cation within the adjudicatory
process occurs in the case of
student adjudication, Many steps
have already been taken toward
the improvement of procedural
details within the student aspect
‘of the system, Therefore, the only
major (ask with regard to imple-
mentation would be creating and
insuring the effective functioning
of the Clearing House,
‘The new system should not be
seen as a panacaea for all i
within our current structure, It
cannot reduce crime rates, nor can
it guarantee “justice” to all, It
‘can, however, lead to some greater
degree of consistency within the
system itself, and it will most
certainly make more visible the
avenues for dealing with com
plaints and infractions, Finally,
and perhaps most importantly,
this new system's centralized ap-
proach will allow for a far more
comprehensive evaluation of the
judicial proces nd a concomitant
‘ease in adapting to current and
future needs,

more effective judicial system has

Demonstrators at the Capitol
Refuse to See Students
Legislators
Commentary by
Susie Hoffman & Les Wright
On Monday, March 20th, about
2000 students from SUNY,
CUNY and high schools across the
State gathered to rally and lobby
for two bills presently in commit-
tee in the Legislature - one guaran-
teeing the continuation of the no
tuition policy at CUNY, the other
returning SUNY to its pre-1963
status as a tuition free institution.
‘About 60 students from Albany
joined the demonstration, Fol-
lowing is the account of the
demonstration by a member of
SUNYA Students Against Tuition
(Part of the Statewide Coalition
For Free Public Education) and a
discussion of what comes next.
When I arrived at the Capital for
the demonstration fairly early in
the morning, 1 was met by 9
handful of others, some from
SUNYA and some from New
York. We had the task of being
marshalls and greeters. After an
hour's wait, the first buses from
New York ‘pulled up, From that
point on everyone had his hands
full, Meeting buses as they arrived
got to be fairly difficult, For the
part, the students were
welkorganized and knew what
they were to do. This is not to
ignore « couple of problems, such
as the one busload of students
who disappeared downtown be-
cause we were meeting another
hus (which turned out to be fifth
most
ting Albany for the
‘As the numbers grew, it was
precedent-setting’ to watch all
these students united in protest,
including » large number of high
school students. Blacks, Puerto
Ricans and whites, from Upstate
and the City, picketted together,
assembled for the rally, and
worked together to fight tuition
throughout the afternoon.
‘There were no hassles until we
tried to see our legislators. Lette
had been sent out in advance
notifying legislators that students
would be coming, and appoint-
ments were made with several
“key” members. Most, however,
managed to have meetings that
afternoon, were out of town, ec
Some legislators did see lobbying
students, but of those I went to
see there was no such luck.
Bridges, whom we had made an
appointment with two weeks in
advance, refused to see us.
LaVerne, who is on the Senate
Education Committee, sent one of
his aides to see us. Supposedly on
our side, that is, on the side of
education, he maintained that
education should no longer be a
priority in New York State! The
rest of the afternoon we got no
farther than secretaries, Rumor
had it that Rockefeller, officially
of town for the day, had
special meeting.
3:40 4 second rally was held
on the steps of the Capitol. Stu:
dents felt that March 20th wax a
beginning, not an end. 1 was the
beginning of students across the
Stute coming together to fight for
what everyone needs - a quality
public education system for us,
our brothers and sisters, and all of
society,
‘Ten years ago, students tried to
unite in this way but they were
broken apart by Rockefeller and
his friends, Right now legislato:
from Upstate and the City are
making a deal in an attempt to
again split up SUNY and CUNY.
‘The budget they plan to pass this
week allows the politically more
sensitive no-tuition policy at
CUNY to remain, but leaves
SUNY out in the cold. Upstate
legislators are going along with
this deal because SUNY already
has tuition and it is easier to let
the cuts go through for us. This is
why we need to stick together and
continue to pressure our legisl:
tor ‘They were obviously con-
cerned by a movement of SUNY
and CUNY together, and now is
the time to involve other students,
faculty members and citizens to
build enough support to become a
political power that must be dealt
with. Each year after the budget is
passed, a supplementary budged is
enacted, The bill for No Tuition
at SUNY is still in committee, Its
sponsor, Senator Bernstein says
strong public pressure will bring it
out on the floor, “Students
Against Tuition” is asking stu-
dents to write to their legislators
before they go home, reminding
them that the increase in tuition
for SUNY is still slated to go into
effect, and that we don't accept a
bargain to save CUNY and leave

A Little More,
A Little Less
To the Editor:
Tum writing this letter to inform
the other students at this univer-
sity of the far from courteous
service that I received from one of
the area merchants. About three
weeks ago | brought in a ring to
be sized (made smaller) at Stuyve
sant Jewelers in Stuyvesant Plaza.
‘The woman saleslady at the store
at the time estimated the price of
the job to be about $3.00. She
told me that it might cost a little
more, a little less. 1 waited for
almost three weeks for the job to
be done and then finally I re-
ceived a phone call that my ring
was ready to be picked up.
Upon returning to the store T
was told that the cost was $6.00.
Quite enraged I left the store

‘THE present budget does not
permit the Department to func:

versity community's need for art

long working hours, but also by
the monetary bite of supplies,

following day. This did me abso-
lutely no good at all, He wus even
less obliging. He told me that the
price was exactly the same as they
were charged to have it sent away

might be eo but that | should not
be charged for his employee's
nce. 1 did not feel I should
be charged for her inadequacy. He
repeatedly told me that
NOTHING could be done and
that the price could not be
changed.
It was not the price so much
that annoyed me but the fact that
a customer's word is worth
nothing and that an employer's
mistake will most probably go
unnoticed. Is this the type of
store you would like to deal with?
1 don't think #0. So my advice
would be to bring your business
to other area jewelers. The service
at Stuyvesant Jewelers couldn't be
worse.

French Films Ably Presented
by Steve Aminoff
‘This week-end saw a myriad of
quality artistic events the likes of
which we rarely get a chance to
see around here. Colid moments
in Dance, Theatre, and Classical
music were offered, but probably
the most auspicious was the
French Film Festival which
Albany State Cinema, Internation-
al Film Group, the French Club
and the Alliance Francaise jointly
sponsored.
“Les Camissards" was the
second offering Friday night, and
‘ore which I found to be a bit
discouraging in relation, to the rest
of the program. Rene Allio is a
director who has something to
say, but does not have full enough
command of his medium yet to
say it succinctly, For scenes which
are so beautifully set in a forest,
the camera movement was stag:
nant and did not derive inspira-
tion from the gorgeous country-
side
His images are good. He effi-
ciently likens the behavior of the
“red-coat™ gentry to Nazis, police,
or any authoritarian figure which
the viewer finds detestable. The
Huegenots are the incarnation of
every heroic struggle which ever
raised arms against a tyrant, Now
all Ailio has to do ix learn what
kinds of things can be done with a
camera, Maybe he could take a
few lessons in cinematography
from Peter Foldes, the creator of
a short called “La Belle
Cerebrale,"” which was shown
prior to ‘Les Camissards”,
Rendevous a Bray
‘Through some neat tricks (ani-
mation, matting, mirror effects,
stop-projections, etc.) “La Belle
Cerebrale treats the age old
theme of boredom in quite an
interesting way.
Saturday night's program was
pure joy, Here were two carefully
conceived films complete with
solid acting and upt camera move-
ment, Jacques Demy’s “Peau
Dane was the most sensible
handling of a fairy tale since
another great French director,
Jean Cocteau, brought “Beauty
and the Beast" to the screen,
Catherine Deneuve was absolutely
beautiful as the princess who
modestly hides herself under «
donkey skin, We are enchanted by
Miss Deneuve's charms from the
first moment, plus she can sin,
The final film is something
which would surprise me very
much if it is not immediately
accepted as a major work when it
is eventually released for public
distribution. “Le Petit Matin" isa
tense, impactful movie which
deals with the effects of German
occupation on @ proud French
household in general and one of
its young members in particular.
Catherine Jourdan shines as the
vivacious helleat who comes to
love one of the people who occu-
pies and humiliates her home.
‘The emotion of this film was set
at a feverish level, The acting was
inspired and forceful without
being strained. The editing of this
film was brisk and to-the-point
without being choppy. The ima-
gery was called for without get-
ting too intellectual. If you missed
it, I have a feeling you'll have
your chance to see it again for
three bucks in some artsy theater
in New York.
“Le Petit Matin" was a great
film in a great film festival. My
congratulations to everyone who
had a hand in bringing this event
to the campus, Those of us who
appreciate interesting cinema
thought it was well worth your
trouble.

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
MARCH 28, 1972
by Andy Palley
Classical music is such a large, varied, complex
world that any individual outside of a major musical
center rarely has 2 chance to hear the best of
anything. Albany is no¢ a major musical center,
but, every blue moon, the best of something comes
here, Sunday, whether you knew it or not, was blue
moon day, and the Beaux Arts Tria celebrated by
coming to SUNYA.
Classical trios are among th
to perform well. Since the
ost difficult pieces
are only three instru
underneath the drone af
therefore gree of
virtosity is required. Phrasing becomes all impor
tant, and the supreme goal is to have three
instruments (violin, cello, ina) sound as one,
The separate parts melt into one musical, and oft
emotional, statement.
‘The Beaux Arts Trio might be the best trio in
active performance in the world today. That ix quite
a statement, but the truth is that there are not that
many trios around of late, and when three superb
musicians such as Isadore Cohen on violin, Bernard
Greenhouse on cello, and Menahem Pressier on
piano join forces, fireworks burst in every perfor
mance. Today's was no exception. The first work on.
the program was Mozart's Trio in C Major, K. 548. 1
think everyone likes a good performance of Mozart
and Beaux Arts’ performance was exceptional, }'m
sure that Menahem Pressler plays Mozart differenly
from most pianists-his style is so fluid, so relaxed,
yet so confident that the notes seem to pour out as
one would . ream of them. It's amazing that styles
50 antithetical us Pressler’s and Findlay Cockrell's
can exist side by side, but that ix the world of
music--variety is what keeps it

Somehow 1 just cannot take this
bund seriously, The rock-flavored
rhythm section is competent, and
organist Phil Porter is occasionally
interesting. Guitarist Angel South
isn't-what few chops he unveils
were so obviously stolen that it's
hardly worth mentioning. And the
band’s four-trumpet horn section
in wretched excess personified—
lead trumpeter Bill Chase is good
and the rest are competent but
together, they reduce every song
to a repetitive, dull exercise.
The first side of this album
features vocalist G. G. Shinn en
gaged in a contest with Terry
Richards und Ted Piercefield to
win the David Clayton-Thomas
sound-alike contest, For his
abominable posturing on “Woman
of the Dark" GG wins the prize-a
rotten herring for his pained tom

luughably pretentious effort titled

Bill Chase getting together with
the boys and saying, “OK, now;
we've been doing all these hack
imitations of jazzy love songs:
now if we're going to stay hip
we'd better put out something

Kris Kristofferson the writer is
one of the most original, unortho-
dox, und honest talents that we
have; Kris the singer-performer
has always managed to hold my
attention and touch my spirit, in
spite of his flat, colorless voice
und casual, off-hand delivery. Kris
the recording artist, though, has
never come close to matching Kris,
the writer or Kris the performer.
Border Lord, his newest release,
provides another demonstration
of this, What comes out as plain
spoken honesty in performance
comes acroxs ak numbing dullness
on this album, Why this happens
I'm not totally sure; 1 suspect the
answer might lie in the way Kris:
approaches the recording studio.
I'm not sure that he understands
the way the recording medium
works; and um fairly sure that he
has no clear notion of what to do

Michao! Lampert, Student Astociation President
Thousands of resident students
returning to their dormitories this
week from spring vacation have a
surprise in store for them: Money
SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer,
taking the advice of legal council,
has ordered the SUNYA admini-
stration to refund all monies col-
lected from students through a
disputed telephone charge. The
action effects every SUNYA stu-
dent residing in a dormitory and
jimaxes a four month campaign
Jed by Student Association Presi:
dent Mike Lampert to have the
money restored to student pock-
ets,
Boyer, in a letter dated March
29th, wrote Lampert that “ar-
rangements will be made to re-
fund the (telephone) charges col-
lected" and that their initial col-
lection was “technically incor
‘The amount of money involved
is thirty dollars per telephone,
divided equally among the
phone's users. Thus, uptown stu-
dents sharing a six man suite stand
to collect five dollars each from
Boyer's action; the amount rises
to fifteen dollars for Alumni Quad
students who double up in rooms,
Assistant Vice-President for
Management and Planning Robert
Stierer said yesterday that most
students will be receiving their
checks by mail. Those students
who currently have a balance due
‘on their university account will
have the refund applied to that,
Up the Creek
Boyer's actions assumed added
significance because it placed him
at odds with local administrators
here at SUNYA who were op-
posed to rotuming the funds, As
the ASP reported on March 3rd,
Vice President John Hartley, act:
ing on verbal “assurances” of
SUNY Central Administration
that the stute phone subsidy
would be dropped, ordered u fit
teen dollar charge added to stu-
dent bills in August and again in
January. ‘The official authoriza-
tion never came and SUNY A stu-
dents found themselves in a
unique position—they were the
only students in the state universi
ty system paying the additional
money.
Hartley defended his action,
claiming that given the situation
his was the “most logical and
rational decision" and that his
performances “were perfectly in
fine with what the Board of Trus-
tees said.” He wrote Central Ad-
ministration arguing that the
money should not be refunded
and that his position was “perfect-
ly defensible”.
But Lampert countered with
two letters to the Chancellor,
claiming that a similar situation
occurred in Plattsburgh earlier this
year—where the money was re-
funded~and also that Hartley had
‘no authority to institute the fee in
the first place.
Central Administration found it-
self caught between the two—and
solved the problem by throwing it
in the hands of legal counsel It
was probably the wisest course;
Lampert had pledged to seek Cen-
tral Council permission to sue if
Boyer kopt stalling, ‘In terms of
legalities, the Chancellor was up a
creek," he explained
Wicked Procedure
Yesterday, Lampert was visibly
elated that he had emerged the
victor in the verbal battle and that
now students would be getting
some extra pocket. money. “I
cleurly think it's the right d
cision,” he explained and went on
to add that “to have been the
only campus in the SUNY system
collecting the fee was plainly ab:
surd."" Though Boyer disagreed
that students were entitled to
receive extra interest payments
because the money had been held
some six months, Lampert seemed
unconcerned since “the interest
payments would amount to no
thing anyway.”
John Hartley had a more sub-
dued reaction, noting “We have
been instructed to make the re-
fund and we will do it.” “It's clear
what the reasons behind the de-
cision were. The (telephone)
charge wasn't applied to the
whole state and the directive
didn't get out on time.
Students har arently won
their battle but the fruits of vic~
tory may still be along time com:
ing, The refund procedure will be
handled through the Bursar's of-
fice, which is already plagued with
manpower shortages and sizeable
delays, As Lampert observed
“The implementation of this is
going to be wicked.”
Stierer said yesterday that the
entire refunding process will be
handled through a local denosi-
tory and not the Dormitory In-
come Fund “which will speed
things up a bit.” But he
cautioned: “There is a substantial
amount of paperwork and check-
ing involved 60 we cannot give a
specific schedule at this point.”
Last year, an Indian Quad room
und board rebate that affected
200 students took one clerk some
ight weeks to handle, This refund
involves some 6,000 students so
the delay could be extensive.
Lamport called this arrangement
“clearly unacceptable" and prom:
ied to fight to get students the
refund by the end of the semester
setting the stage for renewed
controversy, Stierer said eurlier
“Some students may not get re-
funds by the end of this semester"
and one familiar with the work-
ings of the SUNYA bureaucracy
had to conclude that even that,
perhaps, was an optimistic fore-
