Albany Institute Features
Trio Of One-Man Shows

Harold McIntosh will have a one-man show in Feb-
ruary, and George Wexler in March, April will bring
the Lathrop sisters, formerly of Albany, who have
consented to a show of their sculpture and prints.

Mr. McIntosh derived inspiration for his paintings
from his immediate environment, the rolling farm
acres which surround his place in Connecticut, and two
nearby Audubon wildlife centers, His work has a poetic
aspect and is realistic. His previous painting in an ex-
pressionistic manner won awards in New England an-
nuals, including two “best in show?’ at the New Haven
Festival of Arts.

A 1965 spring showing of Mr, Melntosh’s nature
paintings featuring birds was held at the Sharon (Conn.)
Audubon Center, Scottish born, Mr. McIntosh was ed-
ucated in Canada and studied art at Winnipeg under
Fitzgerald, During World War II he served with the
Canadian Armed Forces and in 1946 came to the Uni-
ted States, He painted covers for the “Saturday Re-
view" and did other magazine illustration,

Hudson River Valley
George Wexler will show oil paintings and drawings
of the Hudson River Valley, especially the mid-Hudson
and Walkill valleys in the Ulster county ares. Mr,
Wexler won first prize in ofl in the 1963 Regional by
Artists of the Upper Hudson, and the W, L. Coughtry
Memorial Prize in the same show in 1964 and 1965,
In 1966 he won a State University research fellow-
ship, He has won awards in the mid-west, and since
leaving Cooper Union School of Art has shown his
work continuously, He is represented in the collec~
tions of Walter P, Chrysler, Jr., New York Univer-
sity, Michigan State University and New York Uni-
versity, among others, He is on the faculty of the
State University of New York at New Paltz,

And, of course, there is Max Von
Syndow, the brilliant star of somany

of Mr, Stevens and the script and

a triumph, Unlike Jeffrey Hunter,
who sleep-walked through “King of
Kings,’ Von Syndowpresents Christ
not just as a saintly-looking figure,
ut also as a sensitive man of rea
son. He does not try to look self-
consciously holy, a pose the film’s
director must have at least once
tried to force on him.

‘The fact that this {lm has fatled
reflects not only back upon itself,
but also on the film center that
spawned it. The aim of Hollywood
has always been, and remains, that
of making money, not art, And until
that glorious day when Hollywood
experiences Its own Resurrection,
directors suchas Mr. Stevens should
refrain from conceiving any more
films about the life of Christ.

Updike Writes. Novel:
Reader Creates Meaning

by Dr, Townsend Rich

John Updike's new novel, “Of the Farm."* (Knopf, $3.95), 1s a curious
performance, It is as though one could find there whatever he brings
with him, ‘The symbolist will think that he is in the Happy Hunting
Grounds, The philosopher can nod knowingly and talk of Existentialism.
‘The Freudian can find variations on his favorite themes, Even the
mythologist can, dig out a few shards to puzzle over. And perhaps the
pornographer will find a few familiar features in the landscape but not
enough to make him feel at home. The book 1s something like a Basket
Plenic; the reader can feast on whatever goodies he himself has pro-
vided, "The reader, though, who is just looking for “a good absorbing
story’ will go away hungry. But he, I imagine, has given up reading
in recent years or has settled back contentedly with Dicke

What appealed to me most 1s the mood, the atmosphere, of the first
half of the book, Any adult who has returned from a distance to visit
his boyhood home will recognize the narrator's sensations, With sens!~
tivity and poetic Insight John Updike evokes the feeling of timelessness,
or rather the feeling that the past coexists with the present in these
familiar rooms where both impinge upon the consciousness simultan~
‘ously. Beside the alling, aged parent survives the vibrant, vital parent
of twenty-five years ago, the focus of the childhood years. The ghosts
of parents and grandparents still frequent their accustomed settings,
fand the voices of the past still reverberate against these tme~stalned
walls, Every object in each room has {ts particular association, evoca~
tive of memory. Both past and present becomes more polgnant from
this juxtaposed ‘co-existence, Perhaps, when I approached the Look,
T carried in my plenic hamper a nostalgia for the lost years,

The story, and I use the term loosely, concerns Joey Robinson, a
successful Madison Avenue advertising type, who brings his second
wife and step-son to the farm where ti
know his mother and that he may give the annual ploughing to the un-
tilled fields, The elder Mrs, Robinson, like the Mrs, Morel of D. H,
Lawrence's “Sons and Lovers,” had not found satisfaction from her
‘husband and had turned to her son for fulfillment, Mother and daughter
in-law fight for possession of Joey, who hardly seems worth the struggh

and his children lost thereby.

he story, and so we see all the characters and all the

incidents, past and present, through his eyes. He 1s a very confused
(not 80 very young) young man, And since the narrator cannot make up
his mind about anything, the reader has trouble making up his. Has Joey
made @ mistake in changing wives? Is the second wife worth the sacri~
fice of fis children? Is the mother trying to wreck this marriage as,
apparently, she wrecked the first? What is the significance of Joey's
Anadequate’ loyalty to his wife, when the chips are down? As I Lmplied
at first, one can make of this novel almost anything he chooses,

Updike is a masterly stylist, and passage after passage of this book
4s sheer delight, In fact, it 1s so good that it Is irritating and frustrating
that it 1s not better, that st piques the reader but never satisfies him,
With “On the Farm John Updike remains one of our most promising
novelists; the only trouble is that he has been promising for 50 long
that it {8 high time he came through,

sides in the case concern-
ing the constitutionality of
the 1966 Election Bill at
an open hearing Wednes-
day night,

As the hearing lasted until almost
10 p.m,, the Court could come to no
decision that night.

‘Arguments were presented on be-
half of the petitioner, Frank Penski,
by Robert Fairbanks. Central Coun-
cll President Richard Thompson
spoke in defense of the bill.

In his opening arguments, Fair-
banks charged that the provisions of
the Election Bill denied to students
thelr legal rights to run for office
under the constitution.

He clted specifically the criteria
used by the screening committee to
elimtnate candidates from the ballot
for MYSKANIA.

Fairbanks made it clear that the
Petitioner did not questionthe power
of Central Council in establishing a
screening committee. However,
Fairbanks argued that the committee
had no right to screen candidateson

making sure that each candidate was

clfied by the constitution,

Prohibits Vote

A second major objection was to
the provision in the BIll which pro-
hibits transfer students from voting
unless they have been at SUNYA for
at least one semester.

Nowhere in the constitution is
there any restriction on the vote of
any member of Student Association,
argued Fairbanks, If the Council 1s

strictions {t could place on students’

Thompson answered Fairbank's
arguments by citing the constitu

Take it from me, Richie. Girls? Who needs ‘em!

Larger Theatre Needed

An injustice will be performed: when only a limited
number of people will be able to see the State Univer-
sity Theatre’s production of ‘Stop the World, I Want to
Get Off.""

This is due to the limited seating capacity of Rich-
ardson 290 where the play is to be performed.

This has been the case of many of the theatre's
productions in the past. The most disheartening part
about this is that many of the people who attend these
performances are not members of the University.

Instead they are usually avid theatre goers trom
the Albany area. We do not have a grievance against
allowing these people to attend the plays. This adds
to closer relationship between the University and the
outside community.

However, we do feel that since Student Association
money helps finance these productions, a large block
of tickets should be reserved for the student body. As
we have said, this has not been the case in the past.

This is especially necessary now that student tax is
a voluntary fee. The student body feels that they should
have priority in any activity which is financed with
their money.

Many times all the tickets are sold out before tne
student body learns about the performance and as a
result students are not able to attend them.

We feel that the people connected with these pro-
ductions should cater more to the University com-
munity and not the Albany area,

A. solution to this problem where everybody could
be satisfied would be to extend the run of the play or
hold the performance in a larger theatre,

Necessary Operations Outlined

There are two tasks whith are

successful countergueriila warfare.
‘The first of these is the military

and the development of a viable so~

It Is necessary that both of these
tasks be carried out simultaneously.
If they are not, there is little chance
of winning the war. This column
will focus its attention on the mili~

‘The first military operation which
must be carried out isthe construc-

procedure Is to set up combat zones
in which strong militia units guard

These regulars must be strong

Iike to apologize for the number of ads on this page.

*. MYSKANIA as Grievance Committee

We would like to reiterate the ideas
expressed in our editorial of February
22, We feel that MYSKANIA can play an
important function in student government
by assuming a similar role to an omni-
bus committee.

This new role would make MYSKANIA
a grievance committee for the student
body, It would investigate these griev-
ances and, if it found it valid, it could
make a recommendation and channel it
to the proper authority where it could
be corrected,

Since we first made public this idea,
many people have endorsed it. We hope
that it may become a working reality

Decision Allows Flexibility
It_will not be bogged down to what the
‘constitution says but will be able to
rely on some of the broad phrases in
the constitution for a basis of their ac-

> tions,

We do find fault in their decision to
declare the provision unconstitutional
which disenfranchises second semes-
ter transfer students from voting in the
election, These students do not know the
people who are running for office and
their voting will be done on the basis of

soon,

guessing,

We would like to congratulate the Su-
preme Court on its decision Thursday
to uphold the election bill. They set a
good precedent for future Court de-
cisions by taking a broad interpretation
of the Student Association constitution,

This loose interpretation will give
student government, particularly Cen-
tral Council, great flexibility in fram-
ing legislation in the future,

wins,

However, since there is only a small
number of transfers who enter the
Jniversity second semester the effect
of their votes will be negligle.

The idea of a screening committee is
in accord with the new philosophy of the
student government, That is, only qual-
ified and deserving people who are will-
ing to work or who have shown their
desire to work should be on student
government,

It will eliminate one ofthe problems
that has threatened student governments
here and at other Universities, It elim-
inates much of the popularity contest
which is involved in running for office
where not always the best candidate

We hope that elections in the future
will move in this direction, If it does
we feel that student government and the
student body will benefit greatly.

before. They fought for and won
the first significant office in the
county to be held by a Democrat

lal kickbacks from the police of-

ers.

Campaign Promises
Campaign promises rarely come
true, but Dan O'Connell kept one of
his, He lowered the tax rate. His
other three promises of that time
seem to have been forgotten in the
new-found power of fulfilling the
first, Those promises were to as-

by Margéret Dunlop

The extended length of
the campaign for freshman
and sophomore class offi-
cers due to the Election
Bill controversy only added
to the already lively and
spirited campaigning.

Most of the nominees have been
talking to any one who will listen
about their platforms, promises and

1s. This has been especially
true of the freshman class as each
candidate tries to out-dothe other in
promising to make his class the
best ever.

In order to help the candidates
for freshman and sophomore class
office further publicize their mes-
sages, most have been contacted
‘and turned in statements,

William Cleveland, candidate for
president of the Class of '68, states
“During the past year, Ihave gained
a great deal of knowledge in the
workings of our class, I have seen
what eur class can do, and have be~
come aware of what could be done
to improve the quality of projects
and increase the number of these
activities.”

Cleveland continued, ‘In the next
year, the potential of the Class of
1968 will become evident to the Uni~
versity, and this 1s the year in which
we will need capable and experienced
leadership.’

Igor Koruluk, vice presidential
running-mate of Cleveland, also
made a statement, “The position of
vice president of the Class of 1968
Fequires a combination of respon=
sibility and insight as to the needs
of the Class. As present vice presi~
dent of the class, I feel I have
gained the knowledge necessary to
understand the needs and capabil-
ities of the class.””

Koruluk Comments

Igor also sald, “Communtcation
is the essence for coordination of
the Class of 1968, and the aim of
my campaign is to insure the best
possible communication to all areas
of the Class.”

John Kuhn, another presidential
candidate for the class of "68, com=
mented, “I feel that there are two
major Issues in this campaign. The
first Issue 1s whether the Class
desires a part-time president such
as the incumbent or a full-time
President such as I would be, if
elected,”

Kuhn sald, “The second issue is
whether or not the members of the
Class should be consulted on mat-
ters which affect the Class. 1 think
that the Class should be consulted
and I propose an elected advisory
board and a monthly class meet-
ing and newstetter.””

Vice Presidential Hopeful

Ken Walker, vice presidential
hopeful for the'class of '68, stated,
“t believe that a vice president
should never be content to be a fig~
urehead, I would never allowiyself
to sit idly by in the office of vice
President,

Ken continued, “It ts the duty of
the vice president to ald the pres!
dent in carrying out the desires of
the class, This I would dol?”

Lynn Hewitt, secretarial nom-
nee, sald, “1’don’t feel that the
class 1s well enough Informed about
meetings and various cl
Wes and, as a result, we are not as
unified as we could be. If 1 am
Clected 1 will post the minutes of
class meetings for all the meinbers
of our class,”

Another candidate for the secre~
lary of the class of 68, Rosemary
Gadzaila sald, “Contrary to many
People's opinions, I feel that our
class is vot apathetic, 1 think we
have many students who would be
willing to do much for their class
aud could be very enthustastic to

Howard Wechster, candidate for
\reasurer of the class of "68, com-
mented, “1 plan on. improving the
communteation problem between the
officers and the members of the
class by letting them know howthelr
money 1s being spent and where,”

anidates for Class

Gadzalla continued, “As class
secretary, I would attempt to im-
Prove one of the key factors in or
ganization, the problem of com-
munication between the leaders of
the class and its members.”

John Howland, presidential can-
didate for the class of °69, com
mented, “The postponement of elec
tions was unfortunate and ill-timed,
But I sill feel that it 1s important,
now more than ever, that every
freshman vote. The class of '69 can
now show that our interest and spirit
1s lasting, that it can endure any
Postponement."?

Alan Babcock, vice presidential
candidate, stated, :John and I, if
elected, will lead a government that
is interesting, effective and unified,
By Personal contact and newsletter,
we have outlined concrete sugges~
tions designed to create a freshman
government for freshmen,

Finn Speaks

Sol Finn, presidential nominee for
the class ‘of '69, sald, “We don't
claim credit for discovering the
unity. problem on campus, yet we
feel we have found the solution toit,
We have planned an extensive social
program, leading into valuable con-
tacts and class awareness,

Dan Lago, vice presidential can=
didate, commented, “We feel that
the answer to the issue of his cam-
Paign: apathy; is good hard work,
‘We're eager to lead you and to work
with you to bring about a ttle ex=
citement on this campus. We'll be
where you can find us, meet us
and work with us.””

Leslie Rose, secretarial nominee
for the class of '69, sald, ‘Unity
within a class is very important
and the only way {t can be achieved
1s if every freshman {s willing to
participate in activities that the
newly elected officers hope to in=
itlate,

Communication Problem
Nancy Broderick, also a cand{-
date for secretary of the class of
'09, commented, “1 propose several
plans that may put us all on the road
to solving the problem of communt-
cation here, Posting of class min=
utes in academic complexes and
dormitories will keep us informed
on policies, legislation and upcom=
ing events discussed at class meet~
ings.”

Mady Mixson, candidate for treas-
yrer, stated, “Under the present
policy of our school government,
you are not allowed to vote for class
offices 1f you did not pay your stux
dent tax, This is only one issue
which I hope to resolve if 1 am
elected.’

Gary Mattson, also a nominee for
treasurer of the class of '69, said,
“1 feel certain functions should be
made by the class; among these
are regular class meetings and a
financial newsletter to inform the
class on Important matters, Also I
hope to see a weekend and a schol-
arship fund,!”

Apathy Problem
Another candidate for treasurer,
Richard Longshore said, “Through-
out the campaign, apathy has been
decried as the primary Maw of the
class of '69, 1 feel that this is due
more to a lack of knowledge about
campus events than anything else,
MU elected, I should propose that
Hatsons be set up between the class
and the dorms, organizations and
adininistration.””

tivity which did not appear

fered next fall at SUNYA,
interested in Soviet Russi
entific and industrial advances or
Russia geography and economics
will be able to study Russtan pub-
ications. The course will be taught
by Professor Valerian F, Kolesoff,

The course will be open to anyone
who has had at least one year of
college Russian or three years of
Russian in high school and some
Preparation in the sciences.

To insure each student of being
able to pursue his own special field
of interest, the class will be divided
into, small’ groups. The course has
been designed to teach spectalized
terminology in various fields.

These fields include mathematics,
physics, chemistry, geology, biolo~
€Y, geography, economics, and en-
gineering,

Professor Kolesoff, a specialist
in the fleld of Slavic studies, feels
the problem in reading Russian
sclentific sources lies with students
who are not well-trained in the
specialized terminology.

Consequently students are often
misled in their research by think
ing that the literal translation of a
Russtan word provides its correct
scientific interpretation, In this
manner the existing dictionaries are
inadequate if the translation is done
by an inexperienced person,

Professor Kolesoff, a former en«
gineer and agrobiologist, is also a
specialist in Russian linguistics,
literature, and Sovietology. He stud-
fed engineering, agrobiology, and
related sciences at Prague Tech~
nical University, Czechslovakia,

He also holds a B, S. in Agro-
biology from Rutgers University,
and an A.M, in Russian from Middie=
bury College, He also studied at San
Jose College.

Before joining the faculty of
SUNYA, Professor Kolesoff suc-
cessfully taught Ms course as an
intercollegiate course for students
at Smith College, Amherst College,

Phi Beta Lambda will have a

tions, Elections, Constitution and

Russian 5 will not only deal with
Russian terminology, in which more
than 50 American institutions have
courses, but will deal also with
Ubrary terminology. This will en-
able students to correspond wit

t libraries and book agencies,
It will also deal with Soviet geo-
graphy and economics, in order
that not only science majors and
minors at SUNYA will enroll in
the course.

It 1s hoped that engineers and
specialists from neighboring indus»
tries, medical doctors, and any
others who are interested in the
development of Russian science and
technology will take advantage of
this course.

In Professor Kolesotf's previous
classes there were always profes-
sors, scientists, engineers and

‘adults’ who were. simply interested
in getting more knowledge about
geography, economics, and industry

former students are now working

Building Better Bridge

by Horry Nuckols

Most average bridge players know
that plays Ike the squeeze and the
coup exist, They also think that the
xpert’s" ability to make these
plays {s the reason he {s called an
expert.

In actuality, these plays come up
so seldom that this ability is only a
very small advantage. The expert
makes his bread and butter by mak
ing very few mistakes,

Take today's hand, for instanci
‘The bidding 1s routine, South's re
bid says he has-19=20 points and
North can add up to 331, so he bids
the slam,

South wins the opening lead in his
hand and plays the diamond king,
He then plays a small diamond,
and when West plays low, he finesses
the ten, South now wins five dia-
monds, three heagts, three spades,
and the ace of clubs to bring home
his slam,

Easy. Any idiot could do it, But
consider the second trick, South
can count twelve tricks Inany situa
Hon except if one of the opponents
tas four diamonds. Then he will
have to take a finesse, But which
opponent should he guess for the
diainonds?

‘The answer

Is easy. Both of

them, Notice that if South leads a
diamond toward the ace at trick
two, he will go down if West has
all the diamonds, But if he plays a
high diamond from his hand first,
he guards against either opponent

With a high diamond remaining
in both shends, he can still take @
finesse against either opponent, The

looks “cold, take a look at the
hand before you play it and see if

Littlechap proceeds to .prenantize

Oscar Time In Hollywood Closes
‘Zhivago,’ Julie Andrews Head List

by Douglas Rathgeb

It ts getting close to Oscar time
again, that time when every critic
and, lis brother climb out an the
proverbial Iimb and make predic-
tlons about who is going to win what.

Although the Academy Awards
ceremony 1s always an exciting af-
fair, this should be one of the closest
races in many years. No single
film dominates as did “My Fair
Lady” last year and “Lawrence of
Arabia’ {n 1962, This makes things
considerably more difficult than
usual for the erities, who are always
on the lookout for “safe” choices.

Strangely enough, the three films
which garnered the most nomina
tions did not enjoy universal ap-
Proval from the nation’s critics.

vid Lean’s massive “Dr.
Zhivago,”” which received ten uom~
inations, was called an elaborate

‘The entire Oscar race hinges on
these three films, although “Zht-
vago"’ and “Music” are really the
hottest contenders. As many a past
awards ceremony has proven, once
a major contender starts winning,
it usually keeps winning, The clas-
sic example 1s the 1959 production
of “Ben-Hur,” which won eleven
Oscars out of twelve nominations.

Hence, if “Zhivago” starts towin
the cinematography, editing, color
costume design and set direction
awards, it is quite likely that It
will go on to win as best picture.
As things stand, “Zhivago’" looks
to do just that. It should win at
least five of the gold statuettes.

The nominees for acting honors
are all excellent this year, and with
the exception of the award for best
actress, which Jule Andrews
(Sound of Music’) should win
easily, the race looks to be very
close

Oskar Werner will probabiy be
voted best actor, for his role in
“ship of Fools,” although he will
have stiff competition from Richard
Burton (The Spy Who Came In
From the Cold”) and Rod Steiger
(“The Pawnbroker”),

The Osear for best supporting
actor may have to be cut into five
Pleces and distributed among the
nominees, for there is no real
“favorite! in this category. A very

‘good possibility for the award, how=

ever, {s Frank Finlay for “Othello.
The best supporting actress
should be Ruth Gordon for “Inside
Daisy Clover,” although Peggy Wood
her role in

either be the Czech “Shop On Main
Street” or Italy's “Marriage, Ital
fan Style.’ The Czech film should
win, however. Fellini's ‘Juliet of
the Spirits!” was not among the
nominees.

‘Among this year’s nominees for
best director Is Hiroshi Teshiga~
hara, the first Oriental, to be hon
ored’ by the academy. He directed
“Woman in the Dunes.” But unless
a miracle occurs, David Lean should
win for his work on “Zhivago."’

The award for best screenplay
based on material from anothe:
medium will most Ikely be give
to Abbny Mann for “Ship of Fools?”
and “the award ‘for best original
Screenplay should go to Darling.”

In the “best special visual ef-
fects" category, James Bond stiould
continue to hold’a monopoly.“ Thun=
derball?" looks to be a easy winner
over its only competition, “The
Greatest Story Ever Told."

The best feature-length documen=
tary film will be either “To Die in
Madrid’ or “The Eleanor Roose-
velt Story.
