Danes Slam Cortland

Annotice to all future opponents of
this year’s Albany State varsity
‘basketball team: Send no flowers,
hold those wreaths and forget the eu-
logy speeches. This Great Daneteam
is alive and well, thank you, after
crushing highly-regarded Cortland

court,
“A lot of people might have
counted us out early because of Ed-
die (Johnson) and Tom (Morphis)
‘not returning, but we're goingtosur-
prise those critics,” Albany coach
Doc Savers said, “This team will im-
prove with every game they play.”
“There's more unity on this team
than any other I've seen here,” Gary
‘Trevett added. “And we're really
starting to believe in ourselves.”
‘But the way Albany started out

All parties agreed it was the worst
offensive start by an Albany team in
memory. But the way the Danes
smothered Cortland in the game's

were able to kid themselves about
the inept beginningina noisy locker-

What Sauers’ players did do was
throw up a steel-curtain zone defense
which stifled Cortland into a 21 for

“Bobby always knows wherethose

“It was a real team effort all the

“Our scouting report told us they

In the Tuesday, December 9 edition of the Albany Student Press in the
article “Doubts Voiced Over Student-Controlled FSA” SA Controller
Stu Klein was innacurately quoted as saying that he felt there are
enough students on the “Board” who aren't graduating and who could
return for a term on the FSA Board of Directors. Klein was referring to
students who are presently serving on the FSA Membership Board who
would be ineligible for a tetm on the FSA Board of Directors.

wink and gleam on the

wide lapels of the Secret
Service men under the blue
fluorescent lights. The men are
restless, they have heard this
speech too many times already
and will be hearing it for another
year and possibly (hope springs
eternal) another five; they lounge
against the wall, chew gum, adjust
their wide ties, stare insolently at
the few women in the room, shove
hands in the pockets of their
trenchcoats.

Behind the lectern, Jimmy
Carter, the man on the buttons who
is running for President for the
second time, is speaking. He looks
very different in person from the
Kennedy-as-farmer type sharply
etched in black and white on the
little pins—more scholarly, with
the shock of whitening hair almost
paternal—but one looks at the
florid coloring, the meatiness of
the lips and jowls, andcannot help
thinking of the Southern
demagogue of history and
fiction—Huey Long, Willie Stark,
George Wallace.

The voice does not change the
impression, when he introduces
himself as “fawmuh guvuhnuh of
Jeawjuh,” rounding the “o" sound
in the state naih@ anf drawing:
out with a caress, He himself is
quick to notice this impression; in
response to a particularly hostile
question from a member of the
audienge, he answers, “The name
is Jimmy Carter, not George

Wallace.” Big laugh from the
audience, with a nervous edge—
how did he know we werethinking
that?

He is speaking softly now, but
with authority; when he had begun
some fifteen minutes ago he had
been too loud, and somewhat
monotonously so in a peculiarly
Southern way: ‘the words
themselves rose and fell in tone
but the cadence of the phrases did
not. His listeners, unused to the
rhythm of this speech and more
accustomed to New York nasality,
became restless and uneasy,
folded their arms, shifted in their
chairs.

But they are interested now: he
is fielding questions, answering
the standard ones—New York
City, the Middle East—quickly,
obviously prepared; waffling
badly on others. The questions
come fast; as soon as he pauses
audibly, fifteen more hands go up.

The confusion is
understandable; during the
remarks Carter had made before
he asked for questions, he had
talked little and said less—very
little more, in fact, than to speak
briefly of his background,
experience, and his absolute
assurance that he would be
President, a

and are apparently checking out
the competition. No one believes
that this man, who would look
more at home in overalls than in
his well-cut blue suit, and whose
backing seems, despite his
affirmations, notably limited, can
_possibly win an election or even a
primary in a field already
overcrowded with overqualified
candidates,

“I needed the money to get

Keefe. “Since I had access to a
colic book distributor, I decided
to try selling them in the Campus
Center.”

Keefe also sells cigarette
papers, pipes and afrocombs on
Thursdays at a table in the
Campus Center. He finds, though,
that the comics sell better than

those “head products” which he
gets from Lyricon, a company in
his hometown of Saugerties, New
York. The comics also come from
Saugerties, from a distributor
known as Jack Paul, @ personal
friend of Keefe's.

To sell these items in the
Campus Center, Keefe was

“The permit lasts for two

of the Campus Center for atable. I
started this last year when I first
came to Albany. Due to some
hassle when the Soliciatation
Committee [of SA] tried to do away
with the selling tables, we people
who were selling in the CC got
together in a craft guild. Since
then we haven't had any problem."

Keefe says his best selling
comics are the Zap and Freak
Brothers series. “People know
about them.” he explained.

He suggests for newcomers that
they try the R. Crumb comics, “He
was the first in the undergrounds
and is usually good. His Zap #4 is
famous. It was declared
pornographic and illegal in a
court case a few years ago because
of a story about incest.”

For feminists there are comics
written by women such as
Pandora's Box and Girl Fight
Funnies. There are even comics
with a serious sex education
orientation such as Facts of Life
Funnies and Abortion Eve.

“One person bought some sex-od
comics from me to use in her
said Keofe

“These comics appeal to a cross
section of the American public,
not just any specific groups.”

Underground comics différfrom
mainstream comic books in that
they are not covered by the Comic
Book Code Seal of Approval. This
code was developed in the 1950's as
an instrumont of self-government
amoung comic book distributors.
‘Those adhering to the code are not
allowed to portray bloodorthemes
involving sex or drugs.
Underground comics deal with
any theme imaginable, come out
irregularly and have little or no
advertising. Their price range is
generally from 35 cents to $1.25,

“I make about 40% of the face
value of the comic book,” said
Keefe, “I consider it a worthwhile
selling day if I make $30 gross
sales, I seriously put myself
through school this way. If the
school didn't provide this
opportunity for me to work, I
wouldn't be able to be in college
now.”

Asked about his future plans,
this 23 year-old history/political
science major facetiously replied:

“[ plan to set up a chain in
colleges throughout the country
and become the Howard Johnson

And then suddenly the local
political functionary who had
introduced him ("Ladies and
gentlemen, the next President of
the United States, Mr. Jimmy
Carter!") is at his elbow, and he is
winding up with well-rehearsed
and carefully chosen words.

‘The audience, which has slowly
trickled in.until now, becomes a
standing crowd: surrounding
.three walls of the room,
encroaching on the fourth, and
completely blocking the doorway.
It applaudes with no small
warmth and puts on coats as the
functionary reminds it that
volunteer cards and contributions
may be left on the table just
outside the door,

‘As the Secret Service men
tighten the belts of their raincoats
(the slight bulge under the left
armpit becoming more apparent)
and surround Jimmy Carter in a
forest of little green pins
preparatory to the obligatory
flesh-pressing crusade through
the crowd, I think that although I
would certainly never buy a used
car from this man, I might very
possibly buy a tractor from him.
He seems to know more about
tractors.

I find him likable, which may
become more of a liability than an
asset in a year when a man of
decisive action should become the
opponent of an incumbent who is,
sadly, very little more than
likable, Carter's ideas are at this
point extremely nonspecific, to
say the least, and one oan only
hope that several grueling months
of campaigning will serve to
clarify them; if he does not de-fuzz
his thinking he will either be
quickly forgotten or elected.

I should save my green button
for some future collector of
memorabilia, I think, as I walk out
intothe cold where an entourage of
cars is waiting, motors humming,
for a man who is running very
hard for the Presidency of the
United States, I hope his Secret

bored in the months ahead.

t is a brisk and clear fall
morning in the seventh
D district of the province of
Bostonia. Justin Miles, a twenty
six year old construction worker,
awakes from a restless sleep and
gains newfound courage as he
views the crystalline sky out a

are the first revolutionaries to be
successful in thwarting the
authorities’ attempts to locate and
destroy their organization.

Twenty-three years earlier a
small group of fanatical right
wing fascists gained solid
victories in the regional elections
across the Peoples Republic of
North American States. This
enabled the fascists to gain control
of the major sections of the
military. The Peoples Republic
had replaced ni tes of

Congress. When a socialist
president was elected in 2021 he
and the Congress undertook a
drastic plan in which the nation
was to be completely transformed
politically..This new government
declared a new nation andit wasto
be recognized as The People's
Republic of North American
States.

In 2064 a military-backed fascist
coup succeeded in overthrowing
the socialist government and
established the UAP. The
government invaded Canada and
Mexico with little resistance, and
these nations came under the rule
of the UAP. During the first year
there were massive protests
against the fascist regime, and the
military retaliated brutally and
mercilessly. Over one million
people were killed and millions of
others wounded. The populace
saw the futility of the public

protests and the revolt went
underground, Each underground
organization that was discovered
was wiped out and none who were
captured lived to tell about it.
Realizing that the military
deterrent was not effective enough
in keeping the people in line, the
regime undertook a massive, but
clandestine, research program.
The ultimate goal of the research
was to develop a drug with
properties agreed upon by the
regime. The chemists doing the
research were kept prisoner in
underground laboratories, andthe

so and cursed the regime for their
barbarous tactics, Upon learning
what their drug was to be used for,
one of the chemists committed
suicide, and the others involvedin
the research were put to death a
short time later. The final goal set
by the regime and reached by the
chemists was that prolonged
withdrawal was to be fatal in all
cases following addiction to
Corbamorphone.

families of these men were held as
hostages to assure compliance
with their exorbitant requests.
After eleven months three of the
chemists synthesized what thi
believéd to be the most powerful
opiate derived drug in the history
of the world. The drug, called
Corbamorphone, was unique in
that it was soluble in water and it
was colorless and tasteless.
Unlike other opiate-derived drugs,
Corbamorphone was able to pass
through the membranes of the
gastro-intestinal tract. Once
dissolved it was nearly
impossible to separate it again
from the solution except under the
most ideal laboratory conditions.
In small quantities there was no
appreciable effect on the body
although the dosage was enough
to produce addiction. Ninety-eight
percent of the subjects felt no
change when such a dosage was
administered.
Coerced by the government, the
chemists built upon the basic
formula of the drug until the final
goal was reached. The chemists
reached this goal in a short time

learned by the public because all
who happened upon the
operations were shot
immediately. The members of the
government and the military used
their own water supplies and these
were left free of Corbamorphone.
After all the major water supplies
had sufficient quantities of the
drug to produce addiction the
regime of the UAP waited for the
day that they would release news
of the drug to the public.

This day came exactly two
months after the first ounce of
Corbamorphone was added to the
reservoirs, No one but the most
pessimistic believed the
statements concerning the drug.
Most felt it was a propaganda
story or some horrible joke. To
prove what they were saying, the
regime closed off all the pipelines
from the treated reservoirs
leading to the major megalopolis
areas. The populace was forced to
obtain their water in bottles
supplied by the government.
These bottles contained water free
of Corbamorphone. The
government warned that there
would be widespread withdrawal
and death, but still the people
refused to believe the stories,

In a week’stime all the hospitals
in the cities and megalopolitan
areas were completely
overwhelmed by thousands of
people complaining of nausea and
extreme physical discomfort.
Many thought that the regime had
added nausea inducing drugs to
their bottled water, and most

another four days time reports of
deaths started filtering out of the
hospitals, People were dying of
m ive coronary attacks
combined with violent
convulsions. Mass hysteria broke
out when people began dying in
the streets. The people pleaded
with the regime to allow them to
drink the Corbamorphone water
again. The regime had reached its
objective. An entire nation was
addicted to a drug in which
prolonged withdrawal was
irrevocably fatal and only the
members of the regime had the
power to administer the drug.
From this time on the regime
had notrouble keeping order inthe
country, Whenever there was a
behavior trouble in any province
the military or the local
Provincial Police (PP) had only to
step in and start rationing the
bottled water. Panic set in when
thousands went into withdrawal

name later cheered by the people
and cursed by the Provincial
Police, While continuing to work
by day for the province, Justin
spent long hours at night tryingto
contact and organize others who
felt as opposed tothe regime as he
eas, and who were not afraid to
risk their lives for the good of the
people.

After about six months,
underground communications
were set up and Miles was in
contact with nearly two hundred
fellow revolutionaries. The group
named themselves the People’s
Strike Force for Retribution, orthe
PSFR. Inthefirstfew months of its
existence the PSFR managed to
sabotage a number of military
buildings. They also managed to
ambush a truck and two armored
cars carrying weapons and
ammunition to a nearby depot.
Only three of the seventy men who
took part in the ambush were
captured and they died from
torture before giving one word of
information to the PP.

Justin Miles now found himself
with a cache of arms and
ammunition large enough to outfit
the entire PSFR. Although they
could take great pride in their

entirely free. They, as well as all
common citizens of the UAP, were
stil] addicted to Corbamorphone.
They still had to depend on the
regime for the life-sustaining
water, while all the members of the
government and the military were
free from addiction. This
motivated them to steal a large
quantity of Corbamorphone and
store it for use in their final plan.

‘The PSFR slowed its activity to
a virtual standstill for six months
while they planned a major armed
attack against the provincial
miltary ammunitions depot. This
attack was going to be a
diversionary ploy which
hopefully would draw
reinforcements from the joint
government and military
reservoir three miles away. A

handful of men would try to sneak
past: the weakened guard at the
reservoir and place the stolen
Corbamorphone into the water
supply, while the main body of the
PSFR would be attacking the
ammunitions depot. If all
proceeded as planned, the men
would sneak back to the main
force attacking the depot. No one
in the provincial government or
the military would know of the
Corbamorphone intheir water and
they too would become addicted.
‘The people would have won an
important spiritual victory and

interrupted as the sounds of shots
fired in the distance reach them.
‘The military garrison at the depot
has been caught completely by
surprise and they are suffering
heavy losses. Within twenty
minutes all of the garrison at the
reservoir except a small handful
of soldiers have left in trucks to
aid the beleaguered depot. Miles
and his comrades sneak to the far
side of the reservoir, scale the wall
surrounding it and deposit the
Corbamorphone without incident.
They are able to sneak back to the
depot without being seen by the

Only a small number of people know the real purpose of
the attack and they are content to wait. The countryis
in a state of extreme tension and tempers are short...
In a few days’ time, duetothe unkown addiction of the
garrison, widespread withdrawal occurs.

this could be the needed spark to
ignite a mass revolution against
the regime in all the other
provinces. It was widely known
tha} mugh, of the, military was
ereatly, sisnatistied, gyith...the
presant gayerpment and many felt
they only neededa slightincentive
to revolt against their superiors.

Justin Miles reflects on all that
has occurred priortothis day ashe
gazes out his window. He can't
help asking himself whether he
has miscalculated any variable in
the planned attack. He thinks of
the men of the PSFR and he
wonders whether he was wrong to
convince them to face almost
certain death for a cause that he
initiated, Realizing thatthereis no
turning back he curses himself for
doubting the righteousness of
their actions. He still cannot fully
suppress the lingering sorrow he
feols for his couragevus followers.

All during the day members of
the PSFR filter into the basement
of Miles, unnoticed by the secure
and unknowing Provincial Police.
The men receive their final
instructions and leave to prepare
for the rendezvous in the woods
outside the depot. The last member
of the main attack force leaves and
Justin makes his preparations for
the reservoir. He and five of his
best men will sneak to the water's
edge and deposit the
Corbamorphone at the appointed
time.

When Justin and his comrades
reach the reservoirthey are struck
by how unaware the garrison is of
the impending events. As Justin
looks at each of his comrades he
wonders whether they will live
through the day and if they die
whether their loved ones will
understand the reasons for their
death, Justin's thoughts are

soldiers on the roads,

Tho main group of the PSFR has
been pinned down by the
reinforcements from the reservoir
jp a large gully. When they see
“justin Miles and the others come
out of the woods behind them they
experience newfound courage and
start a viscious counter attack,
driving the soldiers back. By this
time, unknown to the PSFR, a
fifteen hundred man detachment
from an army base twenty miles
away has reached a position a
quarter mile from the depot. They
nearly surround the PSFR and the
revolutionaries are forced to
retreat into the woods where a
detachment of the Provincial
Police now lie in waiting. The
PSFR is trapped, but they refuse to
surrender having vowed to fight
until death. In a short time every
last man of the PSFR is dead,
although they inflict heavy losses
on the PP and the military. Among
the last to die is Miles, who cries
out in his last breath, “We have not
died in vain! Be warned, the people
will triumph!”

News of the attack spreads

Coming Soon...

quickly across the nation. The
military claims it is = great
victory for the regime over &
group of “mad pirates,” but the
populace is not fooled and they
consider the men heroes. Only &
small number of people know the
real purpose of the attack andthey
are content to wait, The country is
in a state of extreme tension and
tempers are short, Two weeks
after the attack the garrison at the
reservoir travels to a neighboring
province for a series of war games.
Once there they drink the local
provincial military water whichis
free of Corbamorphone. In a few
days’ time, due to the unknown
addiction of the garrison,
widespread withdrawal ocours. It
takes two days for the provincial
government to realize what has
happened, but by this time many of
the soldiers have died. Rumors
that the military leaders
deliberately placed the drug inthe
water supply spread through all
branches of the military.
Everywhere disenchanted units of
the military are finally given
sufficient motivation to rebel
against that oppressive tactics of
their superiors. A widespread
civil war breaks out between units
loyal to the regime and those who
want a less restrictive
goverimeat: After “a month of
fighting and heavy losses, the
fascist regime is overthrown anda
new military government gains
control of the Union of American
Provinces.

The new government starts its
rule by removing almost all the
oppresive laws of the old regime.
‘The most important of these being
the end to the rationing of the
Corbamorphone-treated water.
Everywhere the people rejoice,
and feel a joy that they have not
felt since before the fascists
gained control over twenty years
earlier. Justin Miles and his
People’s Strike Force for
Retribution are heralded as
national heroes, and a memorial
shrine is built in their honor, Miles
and the PSFR had not died in vain.
The era of a military-backed
government using a deadly drug
for the purposes of oppression
was over.

Brief Excursion
to a World of The Iil

by Rick Palley
ittle wheels vibrate from
| side to side, skipping over
the uneven parts of the
tiles, The squeaking noise
disturbs me, and I open my eyes a
little. I'm trying to see who they
want this time.

The orderly stops the
wheelchair when he gets to the
middle of the room and glances at
the names above the beds. He
reads the other three first, then
mine. ‘‘Mr. Palley? An
embarrased smile on his face, he
suddenly realizes that we are
about the same age. He is used to
rooms full of middle age men with
bad backs and heart trouble, andis
surprised to see a twenty year old

“Mr, pale: ny wiy and

pull myself intoa any position.
“You're scheduled for, radjation
scanning.”

I grimace. Another test. I'm not
paranoid, but I'm beginning to
think that they are plotting to stick
my veins and arteries until they
collapse, until all that's left is
holes. No flesh, just holes. And
more holes than Albert Hall,
probably.

It makes me jealous of Max
Cohen, the patient diagonally
across the room, because they
never bother him for tests of any
kind. He hasa pinched nerve inhis
back and just lies there, staring
dreamily up at the TV,
occasionally changing channels.
Probably enough Valium floating
through him to sedate a medium-
size school of blue whales.

They give me Valium too, but I
don't take it anymore. It makesme
sleep all day, and I'd rather hide
the tablets in my suitcase and stay
awake, reading—or talking to
friends on the telephone, saying
things that turn the heads of the
other patients in the room. They
are intensely interested in my
bogus drug discussions but they
itry to be cogl and nonchalant,
{which ‘leads ‘to some. ridiculous
jconversations.

; “You smoke any of that there,”
juh, marijuana?” asks a leering
{Harry Russel, .proud of the
resemb: of “his speech
;patterns to those of Archi
}Bunker’s, “Marree-wanna? What's
ithat?" I reply, changing his leer
[into an ‘I know that you know that
I know’ smirk,
‘, Discussions like these are

various tests and injections

lightly it is easy to get depressed
just laying there thinking.
Thinking about how sick you are,
mostly.

For a while I thought I was very
sick. I had some phlebitis a few
months before and now I had chest
pains, which led everyone to
believe I had blood clots in my
lungs. That's why I am the victim
of so many tests.

‘This time they are goingtoshoot
a radioactive isotope into my
bloodstream, seeing if parts of the
lungs show up dark on the
scanning machine. (Healthy lungs
appear white on the scanner.)

“It's very simple and very
effective,” the doctor explains as
he ties my arm off, slapping and
rolling the bulging veins under
his fingertips until he finds one

because Harry told him afew days
ago that he was hospitalised for
heart trouble. Serious heart

trouble.

‘The doctor told him he will only
live for about half a year unless he
gets a pacemaker put in his chest.
‘The doctor told him he has to stop
smoking, Harry would rather die.
If the nurses or medical personnel
find the cigarettes, they note iton
Harry's chart, and his doctor will
give him another lecture.

So Harry hides the cigarettes
because he likes the nurses and
doesn’t like to see them upset. The
nurses like Harry also. He says
nice things to them about their
figures, makes them smile telling
them, “If I was a kid again I'd ask
you out right now, really.”

The nurses that like Harry the
most are the electrocardiagram
operators. They come by once or
twice a day to take readings for
Harry's chart. To do this, they
have to place five little suction
cups on his body, which are wired
to the machine. The reason they
like Harry so much is that his
plump, hairless, pale white body
is a perfect receptacle for their
little suction cups. On they go, off
they go, leaving little pink rings
on his chest, like the rings the
glasses leave after a cupping.
When they give me an EKG the
suction cups won't stick because
of the hair on my chest. So the
EKG operators don't look forward
to seeing me. Most of the nurses
are a little wary of me anyway
because I look at them
suspiciously everytimethey come
to give me medication.

“Won't I glow in the dark?” I ask
annoyingly, but the doctor just
laughs and arranges me under the
scanning apparatus. He laughs
because he sees people in a lot
more trouble than I am. People
who are dying day by day, and he
has to find out how rapidly the
disease is choking off their life.

What Can You Say?

A small middle age woman
steps into the scanning room
while I am waiting to be wheeled
out. She talks nervously to the
doctor about her husband, who has
just been scanned by other doctors
next door. “Why don’t they do his
feet? You'dthink they'ddo his feet,
that's where the pain is." She
makes me nervous, this middle
aged refugee from Brooklyn,
holding her worn fake fur in her
sweaty hands. I am relieved when
she leaves, until the doctor tells
me her husband is dying. “We,
don't scan his feet because the
disease is in his spine. In five
years, his lower spine will be
gone. But what can you say to the
lady? She knows.”

They wheel me back tomy room,
and I spepdia good part of the day
staring out the window, I finally.

little while later when Hatry, in’

long enough to give a quick
injection into the plastic tap that’s
connected to a needle in my hang,

Injections into the tap don't
hurt. . .all you can feel is the coo)
liquid flowing into the vein.
Sometimes I fall asleep before the
night nurses leave the room, my
eyes closing on their shadows as
they move quietly around the
room, occasionally flicking the
small flashlights they carry at the
names above the beds.

The morning after the radiation
sean my doctor comes to see me.
“Hello Richard. How are YOU?”
he blurts, but doesn’t seem to
listen when I reply. Sitting at the
foot of my bed, he nods
absentmindedly at everything I
say while he studies my chart,
flipping the pages back and forth
and scribbling here and there.
After reviewing my chart he pokes
me in a few choice painful spots,
and then continues the discussion.

“Well Richard, according to all
the tests, you don't have a
thrombosis (clot). Looks like a
pleural virus. In a few days you
can go home andrest—you'll be up

throws me a quick smile on his
way out, stopping at the door to
add “Don't forget to tell mom and

He rushes out of the room to
another patient down the hallway.

I relax a little that afternoon,

good things—especially
weddings—come in big
packages—the bigger, the better.
‘An Italian wedding shower is
not a shower; it's a deluge. I

close friends and relatives,
Scotch-Irish style, with
refreshments after the gifts. Her

Gifts ranged from eight
identical Corningware coffee pots
to a practical do-it-yourself kit for
the bride and groom's wedding
night. The announced contents of
that kit made me blush more than
the bride.

The bride's 82-year-old
grandmother sat through it all,
clapping for each and every
present, The bride's middle-aged
aunts and cousins took turns
going to the ladies’ room to sneak
a cigarette. They do not want the
grandmother to know they smoke.

Italians like to watch kissing as

Employment: Mannix Depress

by Jill Cohen

had just gotten the word

that my journalisticcareer

would have to be put off for
another semester, andI knew what
I had to do. It was Thursday,
November 13, 1975. Once again,
my hopes had to be pre-empted by
my burning desire to pay the rent.
And when the New York State
Legislature comes to town, the
rent somehow always seems to
take care of itself.

Coincidentally, it was on
November 13, 1975 that the
Governor, Hugh Carey, decided
that it was time for the
Assemblymen and Senators to
join him in Albany for a special
session. When they arrived, Carey
was not here to meet them, but I
was, with open paim. When the
Legislature is in session, the
opportunities for public relations
people are almost as numerousas
they are for prostitutes.

Not feeling quite ready to
assume the latter position, I
wormed my way around the
newsmen on the Assembly floor
towards the seat of my most
logical choice for an employer, my
former boss, Assemblyman
Richard E. Mannix.

As I walked toward his desk, |
recalled the first time I had
approached him for a job. Alt
knew about him then was his
name, Mannix (I think I was
expecting Mike Connors in @
three-piece suit), and the "R-C”.
after his name, The R, for
Republican, made me somewhat
comfortable, since most of my
political associates were afflicted
with that disease. The C, for
Conservative, made me
squeamish. I pictured Ronald
Reagan cleverly disguised as
Mike Connors.

He wasn't a dashing television
detective, but he wasn't Ronald
Reagan, either. He was actually
more like my father: soft-spoken,
more of a sage than a maverick,
dressed in the same grey suit that
he probably wore fifteen years
ago. Asking this man for a raise
was like asking my father for an

increase in my allowance.
Unfortunately, I never got a raise
in my allowance, and I was
extremely nervous.

Requesting an annual salary
increment is hardly unusual, but!
decided to push my luck and ask
for an increase of 100 per cent.
Double. Not exactly on anyon
list of how to cut state
expenditures. But a combination
of poverty, encouragement from
friends, a cut in parental support,
and the ego-satisfying inner
feeling that I was worth the extra
money set me off on a well
thought-out strategy of dubious
consequence.

‘The strategy began as I greeted
my unsuspecting prey. “Hello, Mr.
Mannix. Yes, I'll be coming back to
work for you next session. How
are you? How did theelections go?
How are your nine kids?" I asked.
What I was thinking was: “Hello,
Mr, Mannix. How many kids do
you have this year? Will you hire
me again? Will you give me
$20009" But such directness was
not part of the strategy. My plan
was fairly simple: offer my time,
gratis, during the special session
(it wouldn't last more than two or
three days), churn out daily “kill
Carey” press releases, regurgitate
everything I've ever learned about
effective PR, and when it was all
over, ask for the raise.
Unfortunately, patience is not
one of my virtues. En route to his
office in the Legislative Office
Building, he asked metorejoin his
staff, and I unconditionally
agreed. It was approximately one
hour after our reunion that! total-
ly disregarded all the tactics and
principles of of two years of
studying diplomacy. I walked
quietly into his office.

‘Mr. Mannix, could we discuss
salary for next session?”

“Well, sure." He was as

rehensive as I was.

Do you think I could have, um .
. twothousand dollars?" I wished
I had a better sense of timing.
What followed was a series of

that I would keep the job, raise or

1 had enough politician left in
metoseethat I still had afew cards
left to play. Although most of the
game plan was ruined, there was
still the overexposure trick. I
would work during the few daysof
the special session, be around to

releases, type letters. My mother
once told me that if I wanted

bass behind him was everything, The bass was Kim. From across the
dance floor she looked at Bill and swayed to it, approached to it, supple
shoulders going forward to back, teasing to it.

Bill approached in kind; so awkward, so stiff an actor. Yet he began to
look good somehow, snared, guided solely by her. “Christ,” my mind
choked, “what a woman can do for a man!"

Nearer they came and the romantic “Picnic” theme began to overlap
the other. Violins—the soft mushy violins of the fifties. There was love
now, but there was still that bass and those blues, That damned bass and
Kim.

Within the movie, Kim's sister, played by a thirteen year-old Susan
Strasberg, whose future film career would parallel my own life in
exploring new degrees of mediocrity, looked on. She was becoming
Violently. ill, but not from the booze she had drank—no, from the
overwhelming sensuality revealed to her forming mind.

‘She left the scene, but I forced myself to remain to the fade-out, The

I groped my way past them to the bathroom.

it was a gradual process of course, but from that moment on I beganto
regain sexual credibility in my world. By sophomore year in high
school the last of my argyles were purposely ruined. My shirts came
back in style. People invited me to do things again.

Yet stability could never destroy the ideals fostered on that afternoon.
Or the knowledge. I have known good women and will know others. Our
eyes will meet, there will be embrace, and the love strings of “Picnic”
may exist again.

Hell, are you kiddin’? Lemmee tell you about this pick

wha'd'ya think I see? This cute little novelet, she
couldn’t've been more than fifteen or sixteen days old,

Not a book, you crude insect, but a gorgeous precious
Victorian novelet. Y’ understand buddy? Fresh and pure,
she still had her protective jacket . .. Well, I knelt down
next to her, and looked her right in the page number,
fighting the urge to stare at her stitchery. As my gaze met
her numerio, I felt my heart skip a beat. Right then and
there I decided that I had to bring her home with me that
night!

Itouched her page! My heart wasthrobbing, as! gently,
slowly, turned to her title page. A lot of other guys would
have gone rightto her contents page, but! wanted toshow
her that.I wasn't just another brouser. I just sat there
staring at her title words for a full ten minutes, then got
up the nerve to peek at her copyright around back.

You wanna know what happened then?

“§-8-Sure.”

Well, I ain't gonnatell you. They're personal details, but
I'll tell you this: I did all right. I got her jacket.

It was great, Tenderly, I held her woven binding inmy
arms... :
“Was it good?”

Ioouldn't put it down, All !wanted todo was snuggle up
in bed with a good book! I asked her if I could take her out,
if we could go down the aisle together, but, but... it was
destined not to be.

“Why? What happened? Tell me!”

Because (sniffle, sob) . .. because my little novelet, my
cherished, supple spined, Victorian Novelette.was the

I can't study for my last

What will happen for my

T can’t think about it, it’s
unnerving. A Last Final is

Are finals bothering you? If you know your abe's forthe
multiple choice exams and don't get sick before «
Nursing final you'll be all right.

You havetolook out for Astronomy. That can't be faster
than studying Computer, but it'll be easier than trying to
make sense out of Logic. After the logic exam start
praying you'll pass Comparitive Religion, and find your
friend and discuss the hanky-panky the two of you will do
during the American Government test.

If you get depressed, think what a racket youhad going
in your Tennis class last semester, or the theatre course
where you gave him some song-and-dance and was
passed with no work, Don't worry! You have a good
chance on Probability and you can always bullshit your
Rhetoric prof.

Later in the week you're head may not be into
Neurophysiology, so buy Christmas gifts instead of
studying bible. But that'll remind you of Money and
Banking’s final that night, so it might be better to go
hiking or climbing if you've already finished the ecology

Other suggestions for the week: It is definitely
important to map out exactly how you study for
Cartography. Also, negotiate studying times for the
Labor Relations exam with your roommate. Don't argue
with him while preparing for your final debate.

In general, take it easy. Working on your shorthand

““* Campus Police Upi in Arms

Judy Jaoger
eaarceereswaley foe the.
carrying of firearms on

campus was established
by the senate on March, 1974 and
the debate over widely varying
interpretations of the bill has
occupied many hours on the
Senate floor.

When asked about enforcement
of University firearms policy on
campus, James Williams, director
of Security said that it has been
run in the same manner for the:
past ten years. This, despite the
research, debate, and controversy
which has surrounded the issue
during that time.

Presently, there are 11 persons
on the security force qualified to
carry guns, They are all
supervisors and investigators,
and have all passed tests in
marksmanship and psychological
stability, according to Williams,
Seven of theese persons carry
firearms full time when on duty.
Court appearances and
continuous training sessions
cause situations to vary, Williams
said, “There are times when there
will be no one on duty who is
armed, and sometimes there is
more than one,” he added.
Williams feels that they have
always been within policy.

Some senators, tired of an
apparently worn out issue, blame
the controversy on "SA
semantics". In orderto understand
the firm positions held by

students, however, one must note
Gis history ofthe SUNYA rears
Policy,

It all started in July 1978 when
John Hartley, Vice President for
Management and Planning issued
@ directive to Williams which
discussed the situations during
which firearms should be carried
by several selected members of the
security force.

One year later, on July 24,
1973,8UNY Central's Board of
Trustees established a broad
Policy which basically left
firearms use within the law, tothe
discretion of the individual
campus security directors. The
only major restriction was in the
carrying of firearms in crowd
control situations. Specific
authorization had to be given by
the “chief administrative officer”
on each campus in such a
situation.

A growing on-campus crime
rate as well as the inability of city
police to respond quickly to on-
campus needs prompted these

decisions.

Then, in September 1973, Steve
Gerber, the then SA President,
discovered that certain members
of campus security were carrying
firearms without the proper
training, Though the situation
was soon righted, students were
angered by the fact that they had
not been consulted in the
establishment of a campus
firearm policy. Some questioned

the need for firearms in the first
place. The matter was handed over
to the University Community
Council (U.C.C), a subcommittee
of the Senate, where extensive
research resulted in the present
bill. It allows arming of Campus
Police in:

1. The guarding and
transportation of large amounts of
cash.

2 The arrest by warrant for
serious felonies or execution of
search warrants when the Director
of Campus Security has reason to
believe that the use of force may be
necessary.

3, The escorting of distinguished
campus visitors,

4. Conducting an investigation
possibly involving serious or
dangerous felony; and while on
motor patrol allowing rapid
response. Only one person at a
time will be so authorized unless
unusual circumstances exist.

‘The most controvercial part of
the bill is in section four, What is
an unusual circumstance? How
much discretion should the
director of Security be given in
making this decision?

‘The extent of disagreement in
interpretations of the Senate
firearmsbill has caused it to have
little or no effect on campus
security's firearms policy.

Students tend to support
extensive restrictions of firearms,
while security and administrators
more often support security's
present actions. SA President
Andy Bauman supports a strict
interpretation of the bill leaving
as little as possible up to the
security director, “I don't think
that morethanonecop should be
carrying a gun u-der any
circumstances outside of those
specifically mentionedinthe bill",
he said in an interview. “Maybe
specific situations or categories
should be written up”, he added.

Patricia Buchalter, director of
Student Activities, and presently
chairperson of the UCC, also
supports making an addition to
the bill in order to clarify the
intentions of the UCC.

A reinvestigation was done last
May by UCCin responsetoanASP
article which reported that seven
persons were armed full time. The
UCC concluded that security was
in observance with policy at this
time, said Buchalter, who was on

ASPECTS

the UCC in 1974 when the senate
bill was researched.

She explained some of the
considerations. » made by the
committee. “We tried to look at

Security's needs on campus’, she
said. “We considered the kinds of
crimes that occur, and when and
where they occur, We looked at in
terms of security's job”, she said.

On the other hand, she
continued, “we didn't want
everyone armed all the time". She
pointed out that training
requirements for officers on this
campus were more stringent that
is required, and noted the
accountability that security has
toward the University. “If an
investigation showed poor
judgement on the part of security,
there would be ramifications”, she
said.

“As long as you think that they
are doing their job,” Buchalter
concluded, “you have to trust
them. I can't tell them how to do
their jobs”.

Students Should Know

Rick Meckler, SA Vice
President, reiterated this point,
but added that students have a
right to know what is going on.
“There shouldn't have to be an
ASP article to tell us what is going
on”, he said.

Meckler feels that security is
violating policy, however, and
would like to see the bill rewritten
under the advice of Williams so
that it is enforceable. “We would
treat his (Williams’) comments
very seriously", he said, “I
wouldn't want to be held up witha
gun, and protected with night
sticks”, he added.

Meckler did feel that under
normal conditions during the day,
no guns are necessary. He
emphasized the fact that when
dealing with students, extra
caution should be taken.

Williams defended his policies
by noting an increase in crime on
campus. He told this reporter of
two reported robberies and a
student stabbing this month,"We
has @ lot of people out armed in
these cases,” he said “These
things are not predictable".
Though in many cases guns will
be drawn for such arrests, campus
security has never fired a gun, on-
campus, according to Williams,

Morrison Breaks on Through’

by Jay Burstein.
he headline in the New

T York Post on July 9, 1971

reads “3d ROCK STAR,
JIM MORRISON, DEAD AT 27.”
Doors fans around the world
mourn for their leader, savior,
idol. The “Lizard King,” the figure
that was to lead the youth
generation of the sixties and
seventies into a revolution of
mind, spirit and soul is dead and
buried in the Poet's Corner of the
Pe're-Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
The man who sang and wrote of
death is himself dead.

Morrison's death has been
generally accepted, by his fans
and by his life insurance
company, and he is considered
legally dead. But there are many
queationable circumstances
under which he “died.” Just as
Clifford Irving wrote an
autobiography of Howard
Hughes, just as Paul McCartney is
dead, so is Jim Morrison dead, or
so it seems, This reporter thinks
Morrison, ‘sex-death, acid
evangelist of rock” is very much
alive,

Morrison sang of death, but not
of physical death. As Doors’
producer Paul Rothchild puts it,"

. Jim is fascinated with the
concept of death. He's interested in
spiritual deaths, conceptual
deaths, more than physical deaths
actually.” In the group's epic
song, “The End,” Morrison deals
with such a conceptual death:

“Father?”

“Yes, son.”

“I want to kill you.
Mother, I want to

Producer Rothchild, in an
interview with Crawdaddy
Magazine, explains the meaning
of this phrase: “Kill the Father

means kill all of those things
inside yourself that areinstilledin
you and are not of yourself.”

The group's first single
introduced the theme or the
purpose of the group. Entitled
“Break on Through,” is a song of
revolution of the mind.

“You know the day destroys
the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
‘ried to hide
Break on thru to the other
side.”

Only a year before he “died”
Morrison told rock critic Ellen
Sander he'd rather consider
himself a writer and a poet, He
siid rock and roll was dead or at
least decadent and he wassad tobe
a part of the whole thing,

In the August, 1972 issue of Hit
Parader the other Doors were
asked if the audiences’ attitude
toward him gave Morrison the
urge to take off. Robbie Krieger,
the group's guitarist said "Sure.
That was one of the big reasons,
‘They wanted to see a freak pull his
pants down, and he was sick of it.”
Ray Manzarek, organist, added,

We didn’t start this whole thing
for that reason, Westartedtomake
music, and near the end it got to be
a freak show, Let's see the geek
pull his pants down, bite the head
off a chicken or something. And
Jim said, ub-uh, no, that's not me.
So he just split.”

Morrison sang of death, true, but
also called for a rebirth as is
expressed in these linesfrom"The
End":

“Lost in a Roman Wilderness

of pain
Andall the children areinsane
Waiting for the summer rain.”
What Morrison means here is

that he sees a society that is false
and self destructive, but the young
are waiting for & death followed by
a rebirth, a cleansing of the soul.
He also brought up the concept of
insanity, perhaps the true vehicle
to take on the road to freedom. In
his theatre composition,
“Celebration of the Lizard”
Morrison chants, “Forget the
world, forget the people and we'll
erect a different steeple.” Forget
your past and build a new you, and
@ new world and civilization.

So much for Morrison's motive.
Now I would like to put the pieces
together into a believable story.

Morrison, unhappy with his
career and with himself leaves Los
Angeles for Paris, where no one
knows him, and is accompanied by
his wife, Pamela, and manager,
Bill Siddons. Morrison plans his
“death” with Siddons and possibly
Pamela.

July third, Pamela finds Jim
dead in the bathtub of their
apartment. Siddons calls for a
doctor who, as was previously
arranged, signs a phony death
certificate. (Manzarek explained
in an interview in Downbeat that
the certificate put as the cause of
death, his heart stopped.) He is
allegedly buried at asmall funeral
with only a few friends in

attendance, But none of the Doors:

were there nor were any of his
closest friends here in the U.S.
The news reléase stated that

v ye

weak these ne nivel

Pamela saw the body, but several
months later, in an interview with
Rolling Stone. ; magasine, she
admitted that Jim could very well.
be alive, that she never really saw
the body.

‘Though the case is not officially
an open one, in that hisdeathis not
being lookinto by his insurance
company, it still remains to be a

mystery. ‘A’ book, entitled “The
Great Louisiana Bank Robbery,”
written by one James D. Morrison
is soon to be published and is to
tell of a great rock star who faked
his own death and collected his
own life insurance, Another hoax,
or just a cheap shot at adeadman?
The Morrison mystery gets more
intriguing every day and there
seems to be a lot of money being
made on it, Capitol Records now
handles a man by the nameof THE
PHANTOM who, inoredibly
enough, sounds exactly like
Morrison, and writes in
Morrison's style.

Is Morrison behind it all? Is he
the Phantom's ghost writer? He
has allegedly been seen in L.A.
where he picked up hitchhikers
and told them his story, He has

also been allegedly seen in New
York's Village and in West
Germany.

If Morrison does finally come
out of hiding millions of people
will flock. to see him, but the
Internal Revenue Service will, no
doubt, get first crack at him.

3
DAYS OF
THE CONDOR

son

by Michael Smith

iil Austin, the rookie head

B JV Basketball coach here

at Albany, is a man with

some definite ideas about how the
game should be played.

“I believe hard work is the most
important factor in becoming a
success in this sport,” Austin
gays, “You have to work, work
some more, and then work a little
harder.”

It sounds like a simple enough
formula. Yet Austin says the
biggest dissappointment he's
come across while dealing with
collegiate athletes for the first
time is @ lack of desire.

“There are alot of guysherewho
simply don’t care enough to make
themselves better basketball
players,” the coach said. “They
either came to Albany thinking
they were too good already, orthey
don’t want to make the sacrifice
and give that extra effort.”

Bill Austin is a man himself
used to giving that extra effort. A
collegiate success at Boston
University where he played ball
on afour year scholarship, Austin
worked his way onto a
profession. roster. Though he
didn't swing elbows with Willis
Reed, Austin did spend one and a
half years with the Cleveland
Pipers of the American Basketball
League.

“The ABL was Abe Saperstein's
baby. I guess you could say the
league was the first coming of the
ABA we know today. The salaries
they gave us back then were not
quite what they are today;
though,” Austin laughs.

When the Pipers found too much
red ink in the accounting loga, Bill
Austin found a home at Colonie
Central High, @ crosstown
neighbor of Albany State. For the
past eleven years Bill Austin hi
coached every sport conceivable

PAGE TWENTY-FOUR

there; track and field, baseball,
football—even basketball.

“We won championships at
Colonie (5 Suburban Council titles
in a row) because we worked
harder in preparing ourselves
than anybody else. We were
fundamentally sound, and
fundamentals make all the
difference in the world.”

The coach admits he was
surprised by the lack of
fundamentals his first collegiate
crop of athletes had.

“The biggest adjustment 1
thought I would make in
switching from high school to
college was not having to go
through the rigors of teaching
fundamentals all over again. Boy,
was I wrong. Nowadays a lot of
guys go right through high school
without any training in the basics.

It's like they’ve never really been
coached before.”

And beirig the stickler for detail
that he is, Bill Austin set out the
first day of practice to make sure
his players got taught properly.
That first day of practice brought
to a head another incriminatory
aspect of collegiate sports in the
coach's mind.

“There are a helluva lot of guys
with great basketball talent
roaming around this university
who won't be scoring baskets for
Doc and myself this year,” Austin
said. “I've already lost half adozen
guys who showed up to practice a
few times, didn’t like the way our
program is run, and just drifted
out of the picture.”

Not only does Austin's JV roster
suffer from those walkoffs, but
Doc Sauers’ varsity feels the pinch
also.

“There are about four or five
guys who should be pushing
varsity players for jobs rigat now.
Instead, they're off somewhere,
playing intramurals and pick.up
games,” says the coach. “And I
know for @ fact Doc personally
helped some of these guys get into
school here.”

Austin’s point is well taken
when you consider the all-too-
obvious defection of JV talent
recently here at Albany. A quick
history lesson reveals from the
starting five of Bob Lewis’ record-
breaking 17-3 JV team of 2 years
past, only Bob Audi even showed
up at varsity practice the next fall.
Names like Miller, Snyder, Ferris
and Valenti. simply drifted into
oblivion, never to be seen in
uniform again. This season, only
Steve Macklin and Eric Walton are
up from a 14-5 team, What happens
to all this talent between
semesters? Why the mass exodus?

“Not being close to the situation
until now, Ican only speculate it's
because of a lack of seriousness
about the game these guys had,”

ASPECTS

Austin said. “You have tomakean
all-year committment to
basketball if you want to play
better. Maybe the guys who didn't
show up after their first year just
didn’t want to be bothered any
more.”

“T'll tell you one thing that's not
the reason for the defections and
th because of prejudice.
There's not a prejudiced bone in
my body and I’m sure Doc would

y the same. Everybody has a

otto play here. AndI resent any
implications that it's any other
way. The guys who use prejudice
as an excuse are merely alibiers,”

Whatever the reasons, Bill
ooo

Back to work. You know,
you can never get enough
hard work.

ee
Austin is confident his current JV
players will not follow the
disappearing act of the two
preceeding teams,

“I'm very pleased with my team,
They've done all I'veasked of them
and then some. Maybe it's- better
now that the guys who really
weren't serious about playing are
gone.”

Austin approaches this season
optimistically, both for his JVs
and the big team,

“Doo and I work closely so I
know the talent he has on the
varsity. Don't write off Albany
State this year, on either level.”

At that point coach Austin
pointed to a clock on the wall, and
terminated the interview.

“Back to work,” he said. “You
know, you can never get enough
hard work.”
