Deferments,
DrugProblem
Conf. Topics
Dr. Clifton C. Thorne, Vice
President for Student Affairs,
answered questions on drug prob-
lems and student deferments
Monday at the President’s Con-
ference in the absence of Dr.
Evan R, Collins, who was attend-
ing a meeting with Chancellor
Gould.
When questioned on whether
or not a student caught using
narcotics on campus would be
reported to the civil authorities,
Thorne replied, ““Yes.’? He con-
tinued by citing as an examplean
incident which had occurred.
Last year there were several
student complaints about narcotic
users. The University staff ex-
plored all possibilities to dis-
cover the facts, but was unable
to solve the dilemma. Then,
and only then, we called in the
New York State Narcotics
Bureau.”
The narcotics experts were
unable to catch ‘*the two people’?
concerned in the act. However,
during the investigation one flunk-
ed out and the other dropped out.
Dr. Thorne continued by point-
ing out that if an R.A, found
marijuana in a room, he must
report it to his superior, who in
turn would contact civil authori-
ties.
“If we see illegal activity, we
must do something about it,’’
Thorne reiterated. However, he
went further to declare that ‘No
undercover agent will be allowed
on this campus without the ap-
proval of the Faculty and Stu-
dent governments. This measure
would only be taken if the situa-
tion became severe.’’
Comments were also made by
Dr. Thorne concerning the recent
discontinuation of occupational
and graduate student deferments.
He cited the report of Dean Edgar
Flinton of Graduate Studies. This
report stated that 50 per cent of
the 1968 graduates will not apply
to graduate school or complete
grad school. Also, 25 per cent of
the new male enrollment at the

SAMUEL B. GOULD, Chancellor of the State University of
New York system, spoke to the presidents of the student
govemments of University system colleges last week, on
narcotics, athletics and student tax.
Chancellor Speaks
On Dope, Athletics
by Carl Lindeman
Samuel B, Gould, Chancellor
of the State University of New
York, recently discussed future
athletic policy and issues con-
fronting the Statewide University
system emerging from the re-
cent narcotic raid at Stonybrook
University on Long Island at his
general meeting with student
leaders.
Chancellor Gould met with the
Student Association Presidents
of the four university centers
and representatives of the four
year colleges and Community col-
leges on Feb, 15, Thursday, at
his home in Albany, discussing
this issue.
Expressing concern over the
ramifications that the raid might
have on the growth and expansion
of the entire University system,
he cited two prime issues emer-
ging.
One problem is the question of
whether the University is making
it difficult for law enforcement
agencies to investigate those
students in violation of existing
laws. A second consideration con-
cerns the belief by many indivi-
Council Acts On Election Bill;

passed a policy prohibiting the
financing of partisan political
groups at its Feb, 15 meeting,
The election bill was approved

panion bill dealing with Elec-
tion Procedures,

Inactivity of Students
by Jill Paznik
Staff Reporter
**Students just don’t care about
their student government. Fear
of involvement,’? said Douglas
Upham, ‘is a major factor contri-
buting to inactivity in govern-
ment.”
‘Even within student govern-
ment people will give up some of
the power they can exercise.”
“Students are not really that
concerned even about things they
agree with? Upham used Wo-
men’s Hours and the liquor policy
to illustrate his statement. He
said these policies were given
impetus by the administration
and upper echelons of Central
Council, not by the students them-
selves.
Speaking at the seminar on
student rights Sunday, Upham
brought out the point that the
rules of conduct, as explained in
Student Guidelines, are not
specific enough,
In reference to the Waterbury
case involving five freshmen
boys, he said that perhaps speci-
fic rules concerning student be-
havior might have been bene-
ficial in preventing such a case.
Vice President of Student Af-
fairs, Clifton C. Thorne, said
that if you enumerate some things
specifically, you may leave out
others just asimportant. For this
reason general or fundamental
rules are more encompassing.
Thorne also said that general
rules offer more flexibility and
room for specific interpretation
of individual cases.
Dick Jankowsky, President of
Forum of Politics, felt that the
legal position of the University
should be clarified. He said that
the student may consider the Uni-
versity in loco parentis.
This, he implied, may be one
of the reasons on-campus stu-
dents do not have as many rights
as those off campus. ‘It is only
recently that the on-campus stu-
dent is coming to enjoy some of
the rights of the off-campus stu-
dents.
In) reference to this point
Thorne said that the University
is responsible (to the State) for
what happens on campus.
Jankowsky explained that an
(Cont'd to Page 3)
bate, Together the bill and pro-
cedures represent a compre-
hensive revision of the old elec-
tion bill and make a consider-
able number of changes.
In the new bill, the Myskania
screening committee was en-
larged to include the chairman
of Pan Hellenic Council and the
chief justice of the Supreme
Court. All juniors were elimi-
nated from the committee in the
new bill including the President
of the Junior Class.
A person who is recognized
as the equivalent of a second
semester junior by the Univer-
sity, who is participating in an
affiliated program of study at
another university,may run for
MYSKANIA providing he pays
his student tax for the semesters
affected,
In Who’s Who elections, first
semester transfers and fresh-
men cannot vote, The screening
committee for Who’s Who is
similar to that of MYSKANIA
except that the President of the
Junior Class is included and
all seniors are eliminated from
the committee.
The new bill includes a pro-
vision that LAAC elections will
be regulated under the same
conditions as Council elections.
LAAC and the other commis-
sions are given total autonomy
in determining the composition
of their boards.
The new bill also provides
for replacement and run-off el-
ections and write-in votes (ex-
cept in MYSKANIA and Who’s
Who elections where write-ins
are invalid.) In the case of write-
ins, no candidate shall be con-
sidered elected until Election
Commission certifies that he
meets the qualifications for
the position,
The election procedures go
into great detail concerning the
duties and responsibilities of
Election Commission, self nom-
inating procedures, and the com-
position, printing, distribution,
collecting and storage of bal-
lots,
They allow for the use of com-
puterized ballots and voting ma-
chines, The procedures involved
in voting, staff, processing of
voters and tabulation are spell-
ed out in detail,
In the case of irregularities
the Commission may ask the
Supreme Court or a lower court
with sufficient jurisdiction to in-
validate an election and mandate
a new one, The Commission by
a 2-3 vote of its membership
may also ask Council to cen-
sure an individual for interfer-
ing with an election,
The election bill-is the first
by-law of Student Association and
thus requiring a2— vote of Coun-
cil for amendment or repeal,
The election bill was introduc-
ed as a by-law in order to give
the Supreme Court - broader
jurisdiction when deciding cases
of constitutionality, This prob-
lem was noted by President Jeft-
rey Mishkin, the chairman of

tee, during their deliberations

duals outside the University that
already existing University reg-
ulations are not being enforced,
This not only includes the use
of marijuana, LSD and narcotics
on campus, but also the viola-
tion of other University prohib-
ited activities, Although impor-
tant, he felt that the issue of
marijuana on campus is now a
secondary consideration, Of
more immediacy and seriousness
is the threat of financial penal-
ties in the-form of cuts in Uni-
versity budgets.This will severe-
ly limit University growth and
expansion, according to Chan-
cellor Gould, at a very crucial
time, z
Under the pressures of in-
vestigation by a Legislative com-
mittee Chancellor Gould be-
lieves these questions must
first be answered, Public pres-
sure is also present.
Attending the meeting, Jeffrey
Mishkin, president of Student
Association on campus, stated
that Chancellor Gould believed
firmly in local autonomy of
each University center. He fur-
ther stated that it has beenChan-
cellor Gould’s attempt to give
each University center discre-
tion in making decisions. The
central office serving primarily
as an instrument of distributing
general guidelines for policy.
Student participation in for-
mulating policy was cited by
Mishkin as a second goal of
Chancellor Gould. But recent
events at Stonybrook have seri-
ously challenged both of these
goals. Both the public and state
legislature may now question the
validity of these goals.
Mishrin also cited that the is-
sue of marijuana and narcotics
on campus is still an important
issue, But, in concurrence with
Chancellor Gould, he believes the
priority of questions concerning
the possibility of the hindrance
of law enforcers by the Univer-
sity must be considered first,
Also present is the question deal-
ing with the possibility of lax-
ity in enforcing already exist-
ing University regulations.
The dangers of a breakdown
in communication between the
University Community and the
outside community must be
avolded, according to Mishkin,

Preregistration
Undergoes
Revision
Dr. Clifton C. Thorne announc-
ed at Monday’s President’s Con-
ference that the University has
decided to institute a new pro-
cedure of advisement and pre-
registration for Fall 1968.
The decision came about after
much investigation and discus-
sion with members ofthe faculty.
The new system of preregis-
tration will be on an alphabetical
basis. Thorne questioned this
new system by saying “I’ve al-
ways been in favor of giving
priority to seniors and then to
underclassmen,””
Thorne also pointed out that
the dilemma of preregistration
systems is faced by many col-
legs. ‘*If some one could devise
a workable system of preregis-
tration he would be set for life.’*
Under the new system of ad-
visement, a student has the op-
portunity to see his advisor twice.
The first meeting is designed to
direct the student toward the
necessary courses for the com-
ing semester. The second meet-
ing prepares the student for pre-
registration.
Under the new University sys-
tem students whose last name be-
gins with the letter ‘*K’? may be-
gin to draw class cards on Mon-
day, April 8. No student will be
admitted to preregistration
prior to the date specified for
his letter of the alphabet.
A list of the courses to be
taught in the Fall is available
from the Registrar. The com-
plete schedule, showing days,
times, rooms, etc., will not be
available until March 15,

Teachers Draf:
t Counseling
Formation Explained
The Teachers Draft Counsel-
ing Committee has been meeting
since late November to ‘study
the draft law and to explore the
moral and ethical issues’ that
confront the students. The Com-
mittee was formed to provide
students with information about
all legal options under the draft
law and offer sympathetic coun-
seling about those policies.
The Committee in no way of-
ficially represents the Univer-
sity or its policies. It is simply a
group of individuals who offer
serious philosophical discussion
There are several misconcep-
tions about the committee which it
feels must be clarified. First,
the members of the Committee
are not in any uniform way ‘op-
posed to the draft.” They mere-
ly feel a common concern for
students who are confused by a
dearth of information onthe legal
aspects of the draft.
Second, it is misleading to
refer to the Committee as an
“organization.” The members,
“drawn together by a strong,
‘mutual concern,” found it neces-
sary and convenient to call meet-
ings and adopt an identifying
title. Only in this respect can
the Committee be called an ‘‘or-
ganization.””
Third, the word ‘‘counsel” is
also grossly misunderstood. The
Committee does not attempt to
persuade students to follow a
certain course, but to under-
stand themselves and their op-

It must be understood that
‘faculty wishing to serve as
draft counselors forfeit none of
their civil and professional rights

Policies explicitly guarantee
them their rights to support
their moral and political con-

of graduate education, will meet
in Albany, during the week of
February 26 to name 250 winners
of the 1968 New York State Re-
gents College Teaching Fellow-
ships for Beginning Graduate
Study.
The Regents College Teaching

college or university in New York
State upon completion of their
studies but they may attend a
graduate school at any college
or university in the UnitedStates
offering approved doctoral pro-
grams and having special provi-
sions for the training of college
teachers.
Fellowships are awarded by
the Selection Committee on the
basis of satisfactory completion
of a doctoral program, as deter-
mined by evaluation of academic
records, test scores, and per-
sonal qualifications. Fellowship

Master’s Program
Now Offered
by Janie Samuels
A two year Master's Degree
program in Rehabilitation Coun-
seling is currently under -way
under the auspices of the Depart-
ment of Guidance and Personnel
Services in the School of Educa-
tion.
Rehabilitation Counseling is a
recognized occupation which of-
fers trained counselors oppor-
tunities for assisting disabled
persons — physically, emotional-
ly, mentally and socially — with
their personal, occupational and
social adjustments. The role of
the ‘*Rehap Counselor’’ overlaps
with other counseling profession-
als such as the social worker,
the psychologist, or the clergy.
The aim of the present pro-
gram is to train a “generalist”?
in Rehabilitation Counseling
rather than limit the student's
experience to a particular dis-
ability group or to a specific
counselor role. Dr. Sheldon
Grand, Director of the program,
emphasizes the ‘clinical and
counseling orientation’ of the
Albany curriculum. However, the
student is provided with a broad
range of knowledge which allows
for greater freedom in choosing
a job following training.
Aside from the traditional
counselor role, a variety of
opportunities exist for the Rehap
Counselor. These include the pro-
grammer who serves as a co-
ordinator of the various com-
munity devices that may benefit
the disabled client; the jobplace-
ment officer; and the vocational
evaluator who works in the Re-
habilitation Center or workshop
and assesses the vocational lia-
bilities and assets of the client.
Eleven full-time students are
currently working toward their
60 hour MA degree in Rehabilita-
tion Counseling here at Albany.
Because of the critical shortage
of Rehap Counselors, the pro-
gram is supported via grants
from the Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare. Wash-
ington provides stipends of $1800
and an exemption tuition and fees
for first year students. Second
year students receive a stipend
of $2000 and similar exemptions.
Two kinds of course content
are emphasized in this MA pro-
gram: a basic academic curri-
culum and a professional curri-
culum. Classwork is heavily
psychologically oriented. Thirty
hours of ‘non-Rehap courses”
which aim to form a theoretical
basis for the students’ needs
are provided by an interdiscip-
linary faculty from the Psycho-
logy Department the Educational
Psychology Department, the Gui-
dance Department, andthe School
of Social Welfare. These include
such courses as Statistics,
Learning, Theories of Per-
sonality, and Group and Com-
munity Organization Concepts.

Sanatation Strike
Elicits Response
The sanitation strike that New
York City has just endured has
elicited mostly negative re
sponses at the Capitol. Most
legislators were quite disturbed
by Governor Rockefeller’s inter-
vention in the strike.
Opposition came from up-state
Republicans who abhor strikes by
public employes. Sen. Majority
Leader Earl W, Brydges (R-
Niagara Falls) considers these
strikes as insurrections.
Sen. Brydges attacked Mayor
John Lindsay’s handling of the
strike on the floor of the Senate
and stated that Lindsay was try-
ing to take credit for its ending
when Rockefeller ready deserved
it.
Brydges stated that the Sanita
tion Union broke the Taylor Law,
which forbids strikes by public
employes, but that they were pay-
ing for it in the loss of checkoff
privileges, a stiff fine, and im-
prisonment of their President,
John DeLury.
The Assembly and Senate have
both refused to take action onthe
Governors’ bill, as of press
time. This bill would allow the
state to step in when a strike
results in a health hazard, and
would employ those usually em-
ployed by the city to alleviate
the hazard in this case the garb-
age collectors. e
These employes would receive
the same wages and all the bene-
fits under their regular contract
and the cost would be charged to
the city. If the city could not pay
the cost in the present fiscal
year, the state would advance
the money and deducting the
amount from the next year’s
state grant to the city.
Public reaction to the Gov-
ernor’s intervention has been
rapid and harsh. The mail of
most legislators is highly critic.
al of the Governor. One Capital
secretary stated that she has
received only one pro-Rocke-
feller letter.
The Governor has also in-
curred the wrath of nearly all
the newspapers in the state, Re-
publican leaders out of state
have also expressed disagree-
ment. Gov. Ronald Reagan of
California stated that Rocke
feller has destroyed the principle
of home rule by his actions in
the strike.
Others have accused him of
eae disrespect for law and
order, The charge of playii
politics for the Presidentint
nomination was also levied
against the Governor.

said that the atmosphere in the
rooms on campus are not condu-
sive to free (uninhibited) dis-

While Jankowsky was primari-
ly interested in the rights of stu-
dents as citizens of the United
States, Thorne said that the Uni-
versity supplies the student with
benefits that he would not receive
as a citizen outside the Univer-
sity.
Thorne referred tothe position
of the student involved in a bar-
room brawl where treatment
would be more lenient of a col-
lege student than a non-college
student.
Dr. Johnston of the Education
Department said that the AAUP
statement was disappointing in
that it avoided the central issues
which he believes to be the funda-
mental changes taking place in
Universities.
‘*American Universities are
ceasing to be schools they are
becoming institutions of national
service. They are becoming in-
struments of manpower manage-
ment; their primary task is to
develop technicians.
‘*The University has become a
business which sells contract re-
search service.”
Tt is these new roles that we
should study as the central issues
in the University today.
Jankowsky said that hecameto
the University thinking it would
be a *‘community of scholars.’?
He was disappointed to find that
this was not at all the case.
He now sees the University
as a highly structured organiza-
tion in which you must gothrough
all the proper channels if you
want anything.
A member of the audience, in
agreement, said that the ‘in-
stitutional environment” which
was thoroughly instilled in us in

«*There will be a slowing down
of the increase in the graduate

Thorne pointed out.
Dr. Thorne also corrected a
misquote concerning University
drug policy which appeared in the
February 15 issue of the Times
Union. A corrected statement
was printed in the February 16
issue.
That the authorities have al-
ways supplied you with your
rights in the past,and you have
not expected any more than what
they gave you, may indicate that
the future will be the same way.
Thorne was asked ifthe liberal
policies advocated in the state-
ment would evoke strong reac-
tions from parents. Thorne said
he did not think so and referred
to the reaction of parents to the
liquor policy and women’s hours
which was minimal.
“1 was appalled at the neces-
sity of preparing such a state-
ment,”” said Thorne. He alluded
to the AAUP statement that,
“Under no circumstances should
a student be barred from admis-
sion to a particular institution
on the basis of race. It is a un-
fortunate,” he said, “that such a
statement had to be made.”
The Reverend Frank Snow
questioned the fact that students
are able to drink on campus,but
not allowed to pray on campus,
to which Thorne replied that this
was as a result of State Law.
State Quad Hosts
Seminar Series
by Laurie Silverstein
Some very attentive people on
this campus may have heard
whispers of ‘think’? sessions or
seminars of some sort. What
are these esoteric meetings?
They are simply discussion
groups of interested faculty and
students.
Wednesday night at five p.m.,
the Flag Room of State Quad is
the scene of the first of these
series. This is where the faculty
and students meet to go todinner,
then begin an informal discussion
on any topic that arises.
On Thursday night the same
group meets at the same time in
the same place to go to dinner
and have a more structured dis-
cussion,
One member of the group is
responsible for a topic and read-
ing material. This material is
mimeographed and placed in the
office of Cooper Hall on State
Quad. This material is discussed
at the meeting.
These discussion groups are
open to anyone who is interested,
and more participants are en-
couraged. These meetings are
more interesting because the peo-
ple who attend, faculty and stu.
dents alike, are treated as equals,
even to the calling of each other
by first names.
Please do come. Dinner is free
for faculty, and transfer meal
cards can be obtained for stu-
dents.

Ten People Arrested
In Dow Demonstrations
Ten people were arrested, pro-
testing the presence of the Dow
Chemical Corporation onthe Uni-
versity campus last Wednesday.
They were: Carol Crandell, Rich
Goldsmith, Georgia Lee, Mary
Leue, Peter and Sally Pollak,
Gail Roberts, Stefanie Teitel,
Brett Wakefield, James Whitney.
Their basis for action was the
petition submitted to President
Collins which stated in part:
“We submit that the DowChem-
ical Corporation, manufacturer
of napalm, which is being used
daily in Vietnam, is in viola-
tion of the moral and humanprin-
ciples to which this university
subscribes,’’
We submit that the Dow Cor-
poration should not have the right
to interview or hire on this cam-
pus employees who maybe assist-
ing in the production of murder-
ous and illegal weapons. We feel
that only a debate or discussion
on the use of naplam would be
acceptable as an exercise in
free speech.”
We further submit that should
the university permit this repre-
sentative to hold interviews now
or anytime in the future so long
as Dow is the manufacturer or

sponsored series, ‘‘Communism: the Most Dangerous Perni-
cious Social Disease — and Its Medicines.”
Student Group To Sponsor
Lectures On Communism
The Albany State Young Amer-
icans for Freedom will present
the first of a series of ten lec-
tures on Communism, Wednes-
day evening, February 28, at
7:30 p.m. in Lecture Room No.
3. The series is entitled ‘*Com-
munism: The most Dangerous
Pernicious Social Disease —and
its Medicines.”
This series will be an in depth
study of the political, social,
economic, and ideological
aspects of Communism. A com-
plete schedule of the series is
posted in the main academic
buildings.
Tibor Baranski, a teacher at
Albany Academy, will deliver the
complete series. Born in 1922,
he is of Hungarian nationality
and is now an American citizen.
When World War II broke out,
he was a student at the Univer-
sity of Kassa in what used to be
northern Hungary.
Near the end of the war, Baran-
ski received a special letter of
commendation from the Vatican
City diplomatic representativeto
Hungary for his part in protect-
ing and saving over 3,000 Jews
from Nazism.
After the war, Baranski re-
turned to Budapest and attended
the Pazmany Peter University
from which he received his Ab-
solutorium in June 1948 (roughly
equivalent to a Master’s degree).
Before he could complete his
doctorial work, Baranski was
arrested by the Russians and
was sentenced to nine years for
spying and six years for con-
spiracy. However, when Stalin

died five years later he was re-
leased.
In the fall of 1956, the Hun-,
garian Revolution broke out.
Baranski was an active Freedom
Fighter, After leaving the country
to try to obtain foreign assis-
tance, Baranski was notified that
the Revolution had failed.
Wanted for his political activi-
ties, Baranski would not return
to his homeland. He therefore
traveled throughout Europe giv-
ing lectures on the Revolution
and Communism. In 1957 he mov-
ed to Canada, and in 1961 he
came to the United States with
his wife, a biochemist.
Baranski is presently working
on his doctorate degree and is
the author ofthe forthcoming book
“Twelve Years of Hungary inthe
Mirror of My Life.’ A-studentof
ancient and modern languages,
history and philosophy, Baran-
ski states: ‘Although my heart
beats quite often for my old
country, I promised God I shall
love my second homeland, the
United States, just as I love
Hungary.’*
Bank Receives
Research Grant
Dr. Shelton Bank, associate
professor of chemistry at the
University has received a $23,-
400 grant from the National
Science Foundation for research
entitled, ‘Reduction and Addi-
tion Reactions of Aromatic
Radical Anions,’”?
Bank, who joined the Univer-
sity faculty in 1966, long has
been interested in the chemistry
of the highly reactive intermedi-
ates which have been studied
rarely. They have, according
to Bank, a considerable synthe-
tic potential as the reactions
are remarkably selective. Pre
paration of the anions is simple
and their yields with a given
substrate are often high.
The grant, given for a two
year period ending December
31, 1969, provides for the
salaries of two graduate assis-
tants.

STB President
Clarifies Assoc.
To All Rushees
A statement in the pamphlet
“Join the Brown and Gold Rush,’’
a fraternal rush booklet put out
by STB, has caused some ques-
tions about the fraternities af
filiation with other fraternities
about the state. To answer these
questions William Cleveland,
president of STB, has written
the following letter.
To all male rushees:
At this time I feel it is im-
perative that we clear up a pos-
sible misunderstanding result-
ing from an article in the pam-
phlet ‘‘Join the Brown and Gold
Rush.” The Brothers of Sigma
Tau Beta do not want to create
any false impressions — be they
good or bad — to do So we feel
would not be in the keeping with
the spirit of fair rushing as out-
lined in the I.F.C, Rush Rules,
The point we wish to clarify
concerns the statewide ‘‘associa-
tion’? of Sig Tau. On October 8,
1953 the Board of Trustees of
the State University of New York
passed a resolution concerning
affiliation ‘with any national or
other organization outside the
particular unit.’? Such affiliation
is not permitted by the Board’s
resolution.
We feel that the process of ex-
changing ideas is a most bene-
ficial educational experience.
This is the aim of our ‘tassocia~
tion”? and through corres-
pondence and visits to other Sig
Tau’s we have picked up inval-
uable information concerning
programming, rushing, pledg-
ing, and other fraternal activi-
ties. There is no formal affilia-
tion among the groups — nor
can there be. It is strictly for-
bidden by the 1953 Board of
Trustee’s resolution. We plan
to cultivate this concept of ex-
changing ideas as being benefi-
cial for the growth and mainten-
ance of all groups concerned, In
this sense the spirit of “Sig Tau’
runs high.
Thank you for your attention;
T hope this will clarify a some-~
what confusing issue.
Very truly yours,
William Cleveland

effective after the MYSKANIA

until that time,
Gary Gold, the chairman of the
Ad-hoc committee on Political
Speakers, presented his report
to Council. The report stated
that partisan political groups
should not be funded, provided
for political speakers, films
etc. and set up an executive
board to administer a speaker
program and determine if speak-
ers are partisan or not,
‘The committee plan states that
Forum of Politics would contin-
ue in an educational, non-par-
tisan manner, Partisan groups
would not be funded but should
be self supporting, Community
programming commission (CPC)
would be given a budget line
for partisan speakers, under
this proposal.
The Executive Board would be
composed of six members: one
at-large non-voting member of
CPC and one member each from
SDS, YAF, Young Reps, Young
Dems, and Forum of Politics,
Four out of five votes would
be needed in order to approve

that the groups would have to co-
operate, The alternatives would
be to have no speakers at all
or to-have a balanced program

stated that this report was
favorable to CPC,

Charges of Non cooperation
Leveled at Stony Brook
by Daniel Lasser
NEW YORK (CPS) — Charges
of non-cooperation by university
administrations and ‘‘Gestapo-
like”? police tactics were aired
here last week as two New York
legislative committees began in-
vestigating the use of drugs on
campus,
The investigation grew out of
a Jan. 17 raid at the State Uni-
versity of New York at Stony
Brook in which 21 students were
arrested on various drug
charges,
The Joint Legislative Commit-
tee on Crime heard Suffolk Coun-
ty Police Commissioner John
Barry testify that school offic-
jals at Stony Brook had not been
informed of the impending raid
because they had refused to co-
operate with the police in the
past.

rescinded YAF’s budget.
Council took action on a num-
ber of other bills: appropriat-
ed $250 to Revue to pay for a
harpist; and passed a Tax Card
exemption which would allow a
candidate in the upcoming elec-
tion to present a check for the
amount of student tax in feu of
a tax card,
Council also defeated a bill
which would have asked AA Board
or the appropriate committee
to draw up specific plans for
the introduction of new sports
with probable dates a nd cost
estimates and sent a loan policy
back to finance committee for
consideration,
LAAC announced that it had
passed a proposal to keep all
flagrooms open 24 hours a day,
This will not take effect un-
til it has been through the nec-
essary channels.
Poetry Contest
The National Poetry Press
has recently announcedits spring
competition for the College Stu-
dent’s Poetry Anthology. The
closing date for the submission
of manuscripts by college stu-
dents is April 10, 1968,
Any student attending either
junior or senior college is el-
igible to submit her verse. There
is no limitation as to form or
theme but shorter works are
preferred by the Board of Judges
because of space limitations,
Each poem must be typed or
printed on a separate sheet,
and must bear the name and
home address of the student,
and the college address as well,
Manuscripts should be sent
to the National Poetry Press;
3210 Selby Ave.; Los Angeles,
Calif., 90034,
Toll denied the charges, and ex.
plained how each example of non-
cooperation was in fact an ex-
ample of attempts to work with
the police officials,
Especially at issue was an in-
cident that took place in March
when the police received an
anonymous tip that a ‘‘pot party’?
was taking place on the cam-
pus. President Toll testified that
the incident was an attempt to
frame an associate dean, who
found a packet containing mari-
juana placed under his. door.
Commissioner Barry claimed
that the administration had warn-
ed at the alleged part that the
raid was to take place. Refute
ing Barry’s testimony step by
step, Toll claimed that I know

sion that was given- by the claims
against the university.”
The committee came under
criticism for hearing defamatory
testimony publicly without first
determining its validity in pri-
vate and Senator John H, Hughes,
the chairman, admitted that the
committee had permitted hearsay
evidence to be aired.
The committee was accused of
“smear” tactics by a lawyer
representing 12 Stonv Brook fac-
ulty members, who have figured
in a grand jury inquiry into
drug use by the Stony Brook
faculty and obtained a court or-
der to prevent them from being
subpoenaed by the committee.
At the other hearing, the Joint
Legislative Committee on Educa-
cation heard criticisms of police
tactics used in the Stony Brook
raid.
American Civil Liberties Un-
ion representative Hyman Her-
man said that police had violat-
ed a section of the state penal
code by disclosing secret in-
dictments against the students
to the press before they had
been taken into custody. He also
criticized the police for allow-
ing the press to accompany them
on the raid and to take pictures
of the arrests on the grounds that
most of the students qualified
for youthful offender status.
Assemblyman Joseph Kottler
questioned Commissioner Barry
on the contents ofa 107-page mim-
eographed tactical plan for the
raid entitled ‘‘Operation Stony
Brook.’’ The plan contained per-
sonal information on each of the
subjects and was made avail-
able to members of the press
at a briefing before the pre-
dawn raid,
Barry explained that the docu-
ment had only been circulated to
police officials, but that one copy
had been carried away by a re-
porter. An unnamed newspaper
has since published a ‘book’? re-
view of the report. Kottler claim-
ed that Time and Newsweek maga-
zines had also been furnished
copies of the document.
Westbrook Publishes
‘Mary
by Kathy Deyoe
Dr. Perry D, Westbrook, a
member of the English depart-
ment, has recently published a
novel, “Mary Wilkins Freeman,””
It was published by Twayne’s
United States Authors, English
Authors, and Masterworks of Lit-
erature Series,
Twayne’s series is a publish-
ing corporation with academic
people as editors, The Series
is focused on American writ-
ers and has covered over 200
authors of American literature,
It has been in existence for the
past several years.
Westbrook earned his under-
graduate degree and Ph.D, from
Columbia University, where he
also earned membership in Phi
Beta Kappa. He has been on the
faculty of the University since
1945, Before this Westbrook
taught at the University of Kan-
sas, Georgia Tech, and the Uni-
versity of Maine,
Westbrook has an established
reputation as a critic of Ameri-
can literature, In 1951, he pub-
lished ‘Acres of Flint: Writers
of Rural New England 1870-
1900.’” He has written mystery
novels, five of which have been
published, and has contributed
to the “Mystery Writers Hand-

genheim fellowship and ‘The
Greatness of Man: An Essay
on Dostoyevsky and Whitman,”

In “Mary Wilkins Freeman,”
Westbrook has attempted to pro-
vide a comprehensive picture of
her as one of the best of all writ-
ers of New England life. Mary
Wilkins Freeman was of Puritan
Salem ancestry. She spent more
than half of her life in her birth-
place, the village of Randolph,
Massachusetts and in Brattle-
boro, Vermont. She married a
Dr. Freeman, of New Jersey,
and went to live in that state
for the remaining years of her
life. Her reputation rests on

Grad. A g. Studies
Part Of Service
For Peace Corps
A special program combining
graduate agricultural studies
with Peace Corps service will
be started next fall on the Uni-
versity of California Campus at
Davis.
Beginning next September, nine
months of graduate study will
be .offered, including one month
of intensive language training and
followed by two years of serv-
ice as a Peace Corps Volun-
teer.
The first group will be as-
signed to India where the Peace
Corps has its largest agricul-
ture program, consisting of about
1,000 volunteers. Most of the
volunteers are liberal arts grad-
uates given special intensive ag-
riculture training in a specific
skill such as crop production
or poultry raising,
Those who go through the Cal-
Davis program will be assigned
to agricultural colleges in India
to work with their research and
extension staffs. They will carry
on adoptive research and demon-
strations of appropriate agricul-
tural practices as well as assist
farmers by introducingprogress-
ive agriculture methods.
Applicants must meet the stan-
dards of both the Peace Corps
and the graduate division of the
University of California College
of Agriculture and Environment-
al Science at Davis.
In addition to students with de-
grees in agriculture or a sci-
ence, liberal arts graduates with
strong backgrounds in science or
agriculture, are also eligible the
Peace Corps said,
The program at Cal-Davis will
count toward a graduate degree
in such fields as agricultural
economics and management,
animal sciences, international
agricultural development, plant
sciences and protection, and soil
and water sciences.
The Peace Corps will pay for
the instructional costs, provide
a subsistence allowance for the
third quarter of study at the
university,
Loans, scholarships and fel.
lowships are also available, the
agency said,
Application forms may be ob-
tained from the International Ag-
ricultural Institute at Cal-Davis
and must be filed by May 1 of
this year.

University center and the Board
of Trustees of the State Uni-
versity system is another prob-
lem,
Mishkin stated that ‘in my
opinion, the University Council
will be reluctant to approve any
further liberalization inthis time
of stress.”
The policy governing the con-
duct of physical education and
athletic programs at state-oper-
ated campuses was also discus-
sed at the meeting, At their meet-
ing on Nov. 9, 1967, the State
University Trustees adopted a
policy concerning this aspect of
University life for the 1968-69
academic year,
Concerning intercollegiate
athletic activities, the Board of
Trustees decided that ‘the Uni-
versity shall devote to intercol-
legiate athletic activities a share
of its total financial resources
proportionate to the best inter-
ests of all students in the three-
day program of physical educa-
tion, recreation, and athletics,”
In a later memorandum sent
out from the Office of the Chan-
cellor to Presidents of the State
University of New York on Dec,
26, 1967, it was further explain-
ed that “... it may be possible
in the future to gain complete
financial support for the inter-
collegiate athletic program,’’
However, it was stressed that
for the present ‘it is not real-
istic. to submit supplemental bud-
gets to cover the complete cost
of athletic programs, given the
current gap between State in-
come and expenditure,”
At the recent meeting of
Chancellor Gould and Student
leaders, Dr. Boyer, vice chan-
cellor for University - Wide Ac-
tivity, refused to be pinned down
on this topic, Mishkin stated that
*the refused to be pinned down,
but intimated for the fiscal year
1968-69 that the State University
would not be assuming any fi-
nancial burden for the athletic
program.”
A third topic discussed at the
meeting was the explanation why
student tax may not be made
mandatory, Under present state
law any fees made by the Uni-
versity must go to the General
income’ fund of the State Uni-
versity.
The General income fund is
under the control of the Con-
troller of New York State. If
student tax was declared a fee,
students would lose all au-
tonomy of spending.
According to Mishkin, we are
comparatively in better shape
in amount of funds available for
student activities than other
University centers, He felt that
many Student Association Pres-
idents would like to see the law
changed in regard ‘to putting
all fees under the category of
General Income fund.
However, Chancellor Gould
felt this would be futile at the
present time,

Ivy Schools Dominating
In Rhoads Scholarships
(CPS) Last December, when
the names of the winners of the
1967-68 Rhodes Scholarship com-
petition were announces, it turn-
ed out that half the 32 recipients
came from 4 schools, Harvard,
Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton.
These Ivy League schools made
a much stronger showing than
they had a year before, but a
study of the history of the Scholar-
ships shows that the Ivy schools,
particularly Harvard, Yale, and
Princeton have dominated the
program since its inception in
1903. The question is why?
The Scholarships, which fi-
nance two years of study at Ox-
ford College in England for each
recipients, are the most prestigi-
ous by far of the awards available
to college graduates in this coun-
try. A Rhodes is widely regarded
as aticket into the Establishment.
The head of the Rhodes trust
in this country is Courtney Smith,
also the president of Swarthmore
College. In 1960, Smith wrote
an article for the American Ox-
onian, a bi-monthly magazine for
American Rhodes scholars, in
which he gave five reasons for
the dominance of certain Ivy
League schools.
These reasons are: 1) These
schools are of high quality 2)
they attract the best students
from all over the country (the
students can apply for scholar-
ships from their own home town
selection committee) 3) they have
close student-faculty relations
(applications are given aid and
encouragement, and detailed in-
formative letters are written
about them) 4) the schools rely to
a large extent on seminars and
tutorials (giving the students
more ability to talk and handle
ideas than they would get from
large lecture courses) and 5)
the schools have a strong tradi-
tion of encouraging Rhodes appli-
cations.
Whether or not Smith’s reasons
for the Ivy dominance of the
Rhode’s program are valid, it is
clear that the state colleges and
universities have been at the
opposite end of the Rhodes’ spec-
trum from the Ivy League
schools.
Although more than 60 per
cent of all college students now
graduate from state-supported in-
stitutions, their share of the
Rhodes’ Scholarships has been
and still is minimal. This past
Beckett’s Godot
Dr. William Alfred, professor
of English at Harvard Univer-
sity and author of the off-Broad-
way hit, ‘‘Hogan’s Goat,” will
lecture Thursday evening, Feb-
ruary 29, at the University. His
topic will be ‘Tragic Concentra-
tion in Beckett’s ‘Waiting for
Godot’.”” .
Professor Alfred will be the
third lecturer in the 1967-68
series sponsored by the depart-
ment of English at the Univer-
sity. The event, open to the pub-
lic, is scheduled for 8:15 in the
Campus Center Assembly room.
**Hogan’s Goat,’? which had an
off-Broadway run of more than
a year, is scheduled to be film.
ed. Another work of Professor
Alfred, a translation of ‘Beo-
wulf,’”’ has been published by
Random House Modern Library,
year, state university students
won 7 out of 32 scholarships.
An estimation has been made
that a Rhodes? applicant from an
Ivy League school or one of the
service academies has a 1 in250
chance of winning a award. A
candidate from a state univer-
sity has 1 chance in 48,000.
One belief is that many stu-
dents shy away from applying
because they believe the com-
petition is too hard, and others
who might otherwise apply, can't
because they’re married.
Several State University stu-
dents who have applied in the
past have come back feeling that
the Ivy League candidates were
no brighter, but more polished.
It is felt by some State Univer-
sity Rhodes’ representatives,
that the product that comes out of
the private schools has the oppor-
tunity to be coached, and to get
help in writing his application.
Whether or not thebad showing
made by the State Universities is
a result of deficiencies in the
Rhodes’ program, it doesn’t ap-
pear that the program is likely
to be revised.
The selection system tends to
perpetuate itself because all
members of the district selection
committees are Rhodes scholars
except the chairman, It would be
surprising if the committees did
not lean to applicants who are
well-spoken and poised as they
themselves are.
Since Ivy League applicants,
for reasons already noted, tend to
possess these qualities, they con-
sistently make the best impres-
sions on the selection com-
mittees.
If the state universities are
going to win a greater share of
the Scholarships, more effort on
their part might help, At Haryard,
each of the 10 undergraduate
houses have a Rhodes’ represen-
tative, which obviously helps the
university as a whole get the
Scholarships.
In the long run though, it’s
difficult to see how the Rhodes
Scholarships can be distributed
more freely unless the selection
method is reformed.
Tutoring Program
Aids Disadvantaged
by Richard Hancock
The “Project
on Education of the Disadvant-
aged is convinced that each one
that attends high school does not
have an equal opportunity to get
into college and, not only convine-
ed, is determined to do some-
thing about it.
In part the project is funded
by the federal government and
works with local school admin-
istrators, supervisors, and
teachers, but perhaps the most
important branch is the A.C,E,
tutoring program which works
with the high school student him-
self,
Action for Cultural Enrich-
ment (ACE) was formulated on
the premise that boys and girls
from a lower socio-economic
background fail to get into col-
lege, not because of a lack of
intelligence or ability, but a lack
of cultural opportunities and ex-
Periences.
Even I,Q, tests assume amini-
mum and, infortunately for these
high school students, at the pre-
sent a middleclass culture base.
For this reason, ACE tutors have
the dual responsibility not only
to tutor in specific subjects, but,
as much as possible, to expand
the horizens of his not-so-much-
younger students, to help them
to interact (perhaps for the first
time) in organized social activi-
ties, and to inspire in them an
interest in education beyond just
passing,
This could never be accom-
Plished by remote control, but
only on a personal, or as nearly
personal as possible basis,ACE
believes that there is no’ sub-
stitute for a one-to-one relation-
ship of openness and trust be-
tween student and tutor.
This is far from an easy task,
First, there is not much time
(only one or two hours out of
the afternoon twice a week, and
that after a hard day of classes
for both student and tutor.)
And building such a relation
ship is work, not physical labor,
but a particular kind of alert
ness that is very demanding; de-
manding on the tutor, for he is
the one that must set the pace
and deliver the goods.
* It is he that must open him-,
self to his student, make the pro-
gram he presents meaningful to
him, and produce some visible
results, And building such a re-
lationship is demanding on the
student, for this friendship must
be returned by him.
The student may or may not
be inclined to do so, or may
(for some reason or another) be
afraid, or just may not under-
stand anything about friendship
on other than the most superfi-
cial level.
This is the ideal. The outcome
depends on the tutor, his imagina-
tion, his patience, trial anderror
(but not too many errors or the
student will lose interest), his
enthusiasm, the situation, and
perhaps most of all, his under-
standing of people, his insight
into motives, reactions, and
dreams of the high schooler.
This is a competition, a race
to be won, against time, against
deep-seated habits and attitudes,
against circumstances no two of
which can be alike or can be an-
ticipated. The tutor will see just
how much imagination, patience,
and perception he has,
He will learn from his fellow
tutors who are also competing,
And he will learn just how much
he does care,
At present, over 30 students
are employed by the University
through work-study program, but
more are needed, If a University
student is qualified and interested
in the important business of tutor-
ing disadvantaged high school stu-
dents, he may inquire about pro-

Positions In Africa
For Student Study
Open To Americans
The first American Summer
Study Program to be held in
Africa has been announced by Dr.
Melvin Drimmer, Associate Pro-
fessor of History at Spellman
College, Atlanta University Cen-
ter, and Executive Director of
the American Forum for African
Study.
The University of Ghana and
The University of London will
serve as the sites for a six
weeks intensified program in
African studies.
The group of seventy accom-
panied by six faculty members
will leave New York June 29 for
a week in London where they will
receive an Introducation to Afri-
can Studies from some of the
foremost British scholars, in-
cluding Basil Davidson, Roland
Oliver, and Thomas Hodgkin.
They will then fly to Ghana
for five weeks of courses and
field work, under the direction of
Professor J.H. Nketia and his
staff at the Institute of African
Studies, University of Ghana.
The party will return home on
August 12, after stops in West
African countries and Paris.
The program is open tocollege
and secondary school faculty,
upper level college students, and
others seriously interested in
Africa. The entire cost of the
forty-four day trip is $1,820.
Scholarships are available to stu-
dents. Places for the program
are still available.
The entire program has been
arranged by the American Forum
for African Study, a non-profit
educational body established to
promote cultural contacts be-
tween American and Africa.

Grad Program Opens
In Criminal Justice
by Ira Wolfman
“An opportunity for young peo-
ple to become involved with one
of the most serious social prob-
lems of our time’? is what awaits
the prospective graduate student
who enrolls in the newly formed
School of Criminal Justice here
at the Univeristy, stated Richard
A. Myren, Dean of the School.
A school of Criminal Justice
was authorized for the State Uni-
versity of New York at Albany on
March 11, 1965. The idea for
such a school had been under con-
sideration for many years.
When this plan was originally
conceived, consideration was
given to placing the school in
one of the three other SUNY cen-
ters (Harpur, Stony Brook, Buffa-
lo), but because of the huge gov-
ernmental center here, the plans
were made with Albany in mind.
This past year, Dean Myren
was told to establish the ground-
work for a school that wouid be
a high caliber graduate school.
He, along with five other pro-
fessors, has spent the 1967-68
acadmeic year preparing for the
start of a functioning program,
by organizing course outlines
and doing additional research in
the criminal justice field.
Among those considered to be
the finest minds in the field of
criminal justice in the nation
have been invited here to assist
Dean Myren, Starting next year,
the school will be accepting its
first graduate students. Accord-
ing to Myren, the ‘School is
heavily research oriented, with
an emphasis on the Ph.D. pro-
gram. M.A. degrees will also be
granted.
Dean Myren stated that the
school looked for three very
important qualities in each pro-
fessor before he was appointed.
First, an adequate completion of
studies, indicated by a Ph.D. was
proven research ability which has
been ‘‘published and subjected to
the criticism of his peers.’
Third, he must be one of these
people ‘‘with an interest incrime
and the solutions to it.’*
The school bulletin stated that
“This program is necessarily
experimental. There is no exact
prototype on which to model, no
Council on Criminal Justice Edu-
cation from which to seek ad-
vice.? Precedents will be estab-
lished that’ will be followed for
years to come,
The composition of the student
body, it is hoped, will include top
notch students. Myren stated that
he is expecting an ‘‘internation-
al student body” to be attending
this school when plans are com-
pleted.
The New York City Police De
partment has made plans to send
a man on full salary, to study
here. Myren said he expected
80 per cent of the student body
to be new graduate students,
fresh from college, and 20 per
cent to be accomplished pro-
fessionals, who wish to better
prepare themselves for their
positions in the system.

New Registration
Once again this semester we find that
the administration has instituted a new
preregistration process in another attempt
to alleviate the mad rush of students to
grab seats in too few sections of too few
courses. The administration tries hard but
their newest proposal, we feel, is a step
in the wrong direction.
This new system allows all students to
complete academic advisement before any
class cards may be drawn, avery positive
move, but then negates this plus by setting
up an alphabetical plan for the drawing
of class cards. The plan favors the lucky
people with last names beginning with K
through approximately S and leaves the
others out in the ‘“‘get signed in to closed
sections if you can’’ cold.
Chosen to eliminate the problem of
freshmen and sophomores closed out of
courses because they have been filled by
juniors and seniors, the system not only
fails to correct this problem but further
increases the propability of juniors and
especially seniors being closed out of the
sections they have to take to graduate on
time.
Therefore ,we would like to suggest our
own preregistration plan:
1— draw up andissue the class schedule
during the middle of the second month of
the semester based on demand for courses
and other considerations based on data for
the previous semester.
2—allow four (4) weeks for academic
advisement before class cards may be
drawn.
3— have each advisor obtain from each
advisee an exact copy of his approved
schedule card with all information called
for filled in.
4— allow one (1) week for the tabula-
tion of this data by class year and sec-
tion number (employing secretaries and
faculty wives for this purpose (about 20
people in all.)
5— send tabulated data to departments
for any adding, dropping and enlarging of.
sections deemed necessary and feasible
on the basis of this data (allow one week
for changes to be made, mimeoed, and
posted.)
6—. open class card drawing according
to class year beginning with seniors,
juniors, etc., and according to major and
minor departments. Under this plan all
students would draw class cards first in
their major and minor fields.
7— open general class card drawing
to students in the following order:
freshmen and sophomores with open
majors
all other sophomores
all other freshmen
all seniors
all juniors
8— open general card drawing to all
students for the final two days before
packet turn-in.
9— final packet turn-in one day after
the close of class card drawing.
In steps 6 and 7 class card drawings
would be open to each group mentioned
for approximately three (3) days.
This plan would not be fully effective
the first semester it was instituted,
especially in the case of the first step.
However, data collected through the stu-
dents’ class schedule cards would be used
the second semester of operation in making
up the class schedule. This would also
eliminate the need for many changes by
Good By Graduates
General Lewis B, Hershy has issued another directive
to all draft boards. This time the local boards have
been told that they no longer need defer graduate stu-
dents (except those who will be pursuing medical or
divinity studies) nor the men who would have had
occupational deferments. No one is calling the septu-
agenarian a fool now as they did several months ago,
mainly because this directive was not his idea; it was
the President’s and the National Security Council’s.
This action on the part of the National Security Coun-
cil (of which the President is a member), if combined
with the recent trend of the war in Vietnam, leads to
the logical end of calling up more men for duty in the
war torn land of Southeast Asia. If this assumption
Proves true, then there are a lot of future dead war
heroes walking around this campus now.
Such a large increase, made possible by the new direc-
tive, would signify a condition of all out war. It would
be interesting to see if the American people would sup-
port a large war that would not be fought for such ideals
as, “‘making the world safe for Democracy”’ or the pres-
ervation of our heritage. The war’s justifications could
only be the ‘“‘need’’ that the balance of power in Asia
must be maintained and that our national prestige upheld.
Is our prestige, let alone the Asian power balance,
worth the extra blood of escalation? It was not enough
of a reason for the French to continue fighting in 1954.
The call up of men by the National Security Council
should be tised as a lever in peace negotiations rather
than as an attempt to escalate the war. This tactic should
have been used Christmas 66 when, according to Har-
rison Salisbury (who spoke at the University last March),
the North Vietnamese were trying toarrange peace talks.
It is too late now, when conditions in South Vietnam are
so bad that the Viet Cong are able to force the Interna-
tional Voluntary Services to cut its field staff from 150
to 30 or 35 by greatly reducing the areas where the vol-
unteers can safely operate.
Although the graduate schools will be suffering from
a loss of “‘able bodied men” as long as the war continues
the men will not have to Worry; the government will
help pay them to continue their education; if they
come back.

Dow On Campus
The request that the administration
bar Dow Chemical representatives from
recruitment on this campus is in direct
opposition to the rights and privileges
guaranteed under the “open campus”
policy of this university. This policy
includes the right of any student to meet
with any person of his choosing for any
legal activity.
The ‘‘open campus’’ also encompasses
the right to peaceful demonstration. Such
a demonstration, we feel, is one legiti-
mate way of making one’s feelings on
an issue known to the general public,
one way of making changes in disliked
situations.
In the case in point, however, the
change sought should not be in the lib-
eral, freedom granting policy of the
“open campus’’ but in the operation of
the Dow Chemical and other war-orient-
ed corporations. The destruction of a
basic freedom is an extremely high price
to pay for the remote possibility of con-
vincing Doe to cease making napalm.
Through peaceful demonstration, con-
cerned persons can bring this issue into
the public eye, convincing others of the
legitimacy of their complaint. If the re-
cruiters were barred, there would be no’
such demonstration, no broader scope
of concern would be possible, no further
pressure would be brought to bear on
Dow, and the company, and others like
it, would simply go to another campus
to recruit employes. Such a development
would, in fact, hurt the cause of those
who wish to put an end to the manufac-
ture of products like napalm.

There is a mental institution
in New England which is too
crowded to give individual analy-
sis to prospective inmates. In-
stead, they place them in a large
empty room with a huge water
faucet turned on full and hand
each of them a mop, Anyone who
begins mopping the water is ad-
mitted while those who turn off
the faucet are declared sane,
In honor of this institution,
our highest award, the Golden
Mop, goes to the Bookstore Man-
agement for instituting new exit
procedures, armed guards, and
highly sophisticated techniques
to cut down the customer’s thiey-
ery, while their employes rob
them blind out the back door.
A CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION
(for a change)
In the past, professors in the
Business Administration pro-
gram have assigned such pro-
jects to their classes as invest.
ing money in stocks and bonds,
usually with tremendous success.
It seems that hardworking stu-
dents, with text books and pro-
fessors to guide them, are cap-
able of making sound business
decisions.
Perhaps FSA could create
several assistantships in the
MBA (Master’s) program for
part-time supervisory work in
the bookstore. These students
could run the bookstore as a
class project, plotting flow charts
for moving goods, ordering, time
schedules for employes, and
plans for reduced pilferage.
Not only would these students
gain practical experience not
obtainable in the classroom, but
they might also introduce some
new ideas into the bookstore.

Its All Greek To Me...
by Maggie Dietz
Off Center
by M.J. Rosenberg
Greek Week 1968 is already
over and plans for 1969’s Week
are already under way. Many
thanks are due Chairmen Linda
Klein and George Liebowitz and
their Committee Chairmen. Both
Linda and George comment that
they are pleased with the events
of the Week and especially happy
with the success of Greek Fol-
lies, which received overwhelm-
ing support.
This year’s Greek Week was
greatly improved and supported _
after last year’s beginning. The
Chairmen hope to make Greek
Week 1969 an even greater suc-
cess. Each event merits consid
eration.
The ISC-IFC Coker-Smoker
was an evident success. The
Ballroom was filled to capacity
for the Coker; the event was
well planned. (Well, guys, what
can I say? Reports have it that
the Smoker was a good night
too!)
Greek Follies, the high-point
of the Week, received All-Uni-
versity support. Thanks to all
concerned for their contribu.
tions.
Tuesday and Wednesday All-
Univeristy Open Houses were
held by all fraternities and so-
rorities. I would like to see this
hospitality further extended. Per-
haps All-University All-Greek
Open Houses could be held at
the beginning of the fall se-
mester too.
The Panel Discussion - Recep-
tion held Thursday with Union
and R.P.I, was an informative
exchange of ideas. Faculty par-
ticipation, however, was lacking.
It is hoped that faculty members
will contribute next year.
Friday’s Concert with the
«Blues Magoos” presented the
most problems, especially in
planning and financing. In my
humble, thirsty opinion, it is a
mistake that Schaefer Beer is
not served on this campus.
Schaefer is opening another plant
in our fair city. The Company
was seriously considering spon-
soring a ‘big name’ Concert
for this Week. However, since
the institution with the propor-
tionally highest percentage of
imbibers is not using their pro-
duct, who can blame them?
The Concert Chairmen were
put off and understandably put
out in their semester-long re-
quest for another sponsor, F-
S-A. No one was able to contact
a group for a Concert scheduled
months in advance, until the Con-
cert was at hand. Thank you to
Student Association for its con-
sideration.
Olympic Day, with outdoor
sports competition, Was’ con-
cluded with the fraternity tug of
war during half-time of the Siena
game. Girls are supposedto have
more body fat...
The Beer Party is proof that
Greeks can sponsor a social
event without traumatic or criti-
eized after-effects, Hangovers
are to be contemplated in soli-
tude.
In any event, this year’s Chair-
men are to be congratulated. Ap-
plications for 1969 Greek Week
Chairmen and Committee Chair-
men will be available Monday,
March 1 at fraternity and so-
rority meetings.
The Chairmanships available
are: Greek Week Chairmen (2),
Greek Folles Chairmen (2),
Chairman of All-University Open
Houses (1), Guest Speaker Chair-
man (1), Speaker’s Reception
Chairman (1), Beer Party Chair-
man (1), Publicity Chairmen (2),
an Solicitations Chairmen (2).
Chairmen will be elected by
Pan-Hellenic Council and the two
Chairmen of Greek Week 1969.
The foremost enemy of Com-
munism and Fascism has al-
ways been the academic com-
munity. Academe has tradition-
ally been the vanguard of liber-
ty, for it realizes that there can
be no intellectual freedom in an
atmosphere of fear. Therefore
it is understandable that Hitler,
Stalin, and Mussolini felt com-
pelled to seek the subjugation
of the campus-based community,
Americans have felt fairly se-
cure in this area, Inrecent years
attacks upon the intellectual com-
munity have been few and they
have not succeeded. But today
as in the early fifties the bea-
con calledacademe is challenged.
In our own area an Assembly-
man from Troy, NeilKelleher, ic
the latest ina long chain of poli-
ticians to take on the university
community. He stridently de-
mands that the State University
of New York deny the use of of-
fices in public institutions (i.e.
SUNYA) to those professors en-
gaged in draft counseling. In
other words, the honorable Mr.
Kelleher demands the dismis-
sal of these most courageous
members of our faculty.
Neil W, Kelleher is no Hit-
ler, Infact there are times when
his anti-Communist exuberance
can be downright amusing. Last
Thursday night on the Eleventh
Hour News, after hearing a
cogent and rational argument
by a young pacifist as to why
he could not serve in Vietnam,
Kelleher said: If you don’t like
the system — I don’t want to
use the word system, it’s a
Communist word — then get out!
And he was serious.
This Joe McCarthy from Troy
has yet to learn that a man has
the right to free speech even on
state owned property. This is
the kind of man who dares chal-
lenge the most resolute and finest
members of our community.
I can only warn the rest of
the faculty not to take too much
comfort from their present se-
curity. Unless we drive the Neil
Kellehers from positions of in-
fluence in our society, every-
ones’ freedom is threatened, If
The Rig

Review Of The
New Right Wing
by Ray Bertrand
Opposing the draft is not an
evil, and I don’t condemn advo-
cates of selective service aboli-
tion. However, I deplore the fact
that state employees can openly
and illegally advertise that they
can tell you how to beat the draft.
First of all, the money used
to feed SUNYA’s faculty mem-
bers’ families, or whatever, is
supplied by the state. This cash
comes from the people and is
supposedly used in the best in-
terest of these people. At pres-
ent, some members of the facul-
ty seem to have taken it upon
themselves to define what is
best for the citizens of New York.
Besides lack of justice, a vir-
tue which I have never accused
liberals of possessing, these fac.
ulty members also seem to be
lax in the conscience department,
If they feel so strongly on these
issues, which is their right, let
them resign and accept their
paychecks from someone other
than those whom they are oppos-
ing, They appear not to mind that
the ‘enemy’ is paying them.
Related to this situation is
whether or not we should have
an “fopen’? campus. By ‘‘open,’?
liberals mean free\to do any-
thing. Aside from being ungrate-
ful to the citizens of the state,
these people are also inconsider-
ate. As hippies walk around, con-
taminating the campus, they are
being subsidized by taxpayers.
These taxpayers are also the
people who vote representatives
into office, and the representa-
tives express the will of their
constituents by passing laws. So
what do the students do? They
advocate the breaking of laws
. .. civil disobedience. The poor
things are so oppressed and
impoverished. While back home-
in their pigpens, they save so
they can purchase some grassor
LSD. I don’t want to say that Al-
bany State should become a gar-
rison state. What I propose is a
publicly apolitical faculty and a
campus law against subversive
political groups, but not onevery
campus, I don’t care where de-
generates protest, so long as it’s
not state-owned.
Speaking of politically subver-
sive groups, we’ve got some
wing-a-dings on campus. SDS lost
the title of farthest left to the
Faculty-Student Committee to
End the War in Vietnam. The
committee recently set upatrash
table in the Campus Center,
where they sell books. No, they
don’t give them away; they’re
still capitalists at heart. The
table features items for those
who are attracted to the table:
left-wing propaganda for the lib-
erals, and insect repellent for
the bugs. The Committee chang-
ed its name from Student-Fac-
ulty Committee to End the War in
Vietnam when the faculty member
wanted top billing over the stu-
dent. The Committee sponsored
talks about the presidential can-
didates in ’68, The closest thing
to a right-winger talked about
was Eugene McCarthy. I under-
stand that YAF is offering a
one-way ticket to Red China to
some lucky commie, with a guar-
antee by the fortunate winner that
he won’t return to the U.S, I
feel members of the Committee
ought to take up the offer and
fight for hero Ho in Vietnam,
The garbage crisis in New
York City, far from being a
mere difference of opinion be-
tween Gov. Rockefeller and May~
or Lindsay, created significant
political and social repercus-
sions.
Before evaluating Mr. Rocke-
feller’s actions, it is first neces-
sary to understand certain facts.
First that the strike of the sani-
tation workers was illegal, The
Taylor Law prohibits strikes by
public employees such as police-
men, firemen and sanitation
workers. Secondly the strike pro-
duced a clash between two po-
litically ambitious men, both of
whom are constantly aware of and
concerned about their public im-
ages, Finally, the solution of the
problem, as far as Lindsay and
Rockefeller are concerned, en-
tails either alienating or pleasing
the large voting bloc represent-
ed by labor. Thus political exped-
fency, as well as public welfare
plays a part inthe garbage strike.
Gov. Rockefellers decision to
deal with the union, contrary to
the wishes of the mayor produc-
ed several complications, His
capitulation to union demands all
but invalidated the Taylor Law.
It is indeed difficult to enforce
a statue when any citizen, espec-
ially the governor, gives coun-
tenance to those who break it,
Obviously, Rockefeller has set
a dangerous precedent,
Soon after the strike started
in New York City, a similar
sanitation workers walkout be-
gan in Memphis, Tennessee; a
city which also bans strikes by
public employes. A connection
between this strike and the way
the New York City walkout was
handled is of course, purely spec-
ulative; but the possibility cannot
be discounted.
Mr. Rockefeller not only ap-
peased the illegal demands of
the union, but his conduct con-
cerning the union boss is ques-
tionable. During the crisis John
J. DeLury, the president of the
striking union was jailed for ig-
noring a court order which pro-
hibited the strike in accordance
with the Taylor Law. DeLury was
later released from jail by Rocke-
feller to ‘take part in the nego-
tiations.’’ Strangely enough, De-
ELECTIONS

Lury had been Rocky’s most avid
supporter in the 1966 campaign.
In the last extremity, rather
than give in to the strike, theNa-
tional Guard should have been
used to clean the streets, Ob-
viously, this would not be a per-
manent solution, but it might
make the santi-men think twice
about their strike. Although the
city would be in an unsettled
state, it would be preferable to
giving in to what State Supreme
Court Justice Saul S, Striet call.
ed ‘not really a strike’ but ‘‘ex~
tortion.’” As Mayor Lindsay said,
“Now is the time, and here isthe
place, for the city to determine
what it is made of; whether it
will bow to unlawful force or
whether it will resist with all the
strength and courage that 8 mil-
Tion people can find,??
Labor unions have an unques-
tionable place in our mechaniz-
ed society. However, they can
function only as long as they
remain within the realm of law
and order, When a labor union
or any group breaks the law they
must be punished rather than re-
warded. Through his actions Gov.
Rockefeller has indeed won the
support of labor, but he has done
so at the expense of the law. Now
that his image has been tarnish-
ed, maybe the name of Rocke-
feller will come up less often
when people consider the presi-
dential election of 1968.
a man cannot say whatever ne
wants to in his classroom with-
out fear of retribution, then the
victory of the new Fascism is
complete.
These faculty members who
are today challenged by these sec-
ond rate politicians deserve the
support of every one’of us. The
question is not whether you sup-
port the war in Vietnam; the
question is whether you accep.
the principle called academic
freedom. If the issue is patriot-
ism, then who are the patriots;
Neil Kelleher who is still fight-
ing the Bill of Rights, or the
Faculty Committee members who
stand strongly against the debili-
tating war and for the young
Americans who are so threaten-
ed by the murder lottery called
the draft.
The patriots are those facul-
ty members whose belief in the
ideals of America means much
more to them than the twisted
Americanism of Lyndon B, John-
son. And the patriots in the
legislature are the men like As-
semblyman Joseph Kottler of
Brooklyn, who says that he is
proud of the SUNY system and
that the Legislature should keep
its fingers out of it.
Kottler realizes that disagree-
ment with our Vietnam policy is
not ‘equal to treason,’ That is
a lesson that the upstate Neander-
thals like Kelleher have yet to
learn.
Let us answer Neil Kelleher.
This is not Nazi Germany and
there are still those of us who
will fight for the intangibles
America represents; not for the
convulted provinces of our Pres-
ident’s mind but for the ideal
called freedom, We will not be
intimidated by the likes of Neil
Kelleher, Let us, all of us, stand
up and say that we are firmly
behind those on our faculty who,
in this hour of democracy’s per-
fl, came forth in defense of the
tenets of America.
Our patriots are not the right-
wingers who, in their twisted de-
votion to their country, would
trample upon all she represents,
No, the draft counselors on our
own campus come much closer
to the true patriotism,
After all who do we consider
the heroes of The Third Reich;
the Nazis who were only too glad
to support their government in
a policy of mass murder and in-
evitable defeat or the dissent-
ers who opposed the Nazi re-
gime and its policy. It is the lat-
ter that we refer to as the ‘Good
Germans” and I gladly stake
my destiny with their counter-
parts in Lyndon Johnson’s
America.

Complaint
To the Editor:
I am writing to protest what
I consider to be abuses on the
part of the management of the
University Bookstore, in their
administration of what is effec-
tively a very comfortable mono-
poly on our campus. I donot wish
to become involved in the con-
troversy over their apparent pre-
occupation with deodorants and
beer mugs inpreference to books.
I shall confine my complaints
to five.
First of all, in view of the
enormous volume of business the
Bookstore does, (evidenced by the
preposterously long lines that
their incredible system of text
book distribution produces) I find
it difficult to believe that stu-
dents should have to pay list price
for texts, without any discount
whatsoever.
Secondly, I fail to understand
how the management can be so
presumptuous as to ask the stu-
dents to order books without
knowing the prices. Why are the
prices not listed along with the
titles and authors of the books?
My third complaint has been
mentioned, in passing, above. If
the Bookstore were really in
competition for patronage, I am
sure that they could find a better
system that which produced the
hours, literally hours, of waiting
in line to order books (some of
which we were thentold were ‘not
in.??)
My fourth and fifth complaints
are the result of a rather wide-
spread attitude on the part of
many on this campus. The attitude
is directed at the student body,
and is captured in the statement,
«Thats all right, they’re only
students.” The management of
the Bookstore has decided that a
student who has purchased a book
may not return the book unless he
can produce evidence from the
Registrar that he has dropped the
course. I would very much like
the Bookstore management to
show me a bookstore ‘‘on the out-
side’? to which one cannot return
undamaged merchandise, withina
certain period of time, with only
a reasonable justification and
without any notes from the
Registrar.
As the policy stands now, even
when presented with the required
documentation, the Bookstore
will make no exchanges or re-
turns until after 12 February. It
is almost unbelievable that such
an arbitrary policy is tolerated.
Having fulfilled the presumptuous
requirement of proof” from the
Registrar, one is further imposed
upon by being made to await the
convenience of the Bookstore.
Tt appears that the management
of the Bookstore, instead of pass-
ing on the benefits of its monopoly
to the students, is abusing its
privileges. Is there no control
over these people and what
amounts to their unabashed ex-
ploitation of the students?
James L, Fallon
Rebuttal
To the Editor:
We thank Miss Calio for her
obvious concern about the liter-
ary standards of**The Word, ? but
much of her apparent confusion
could have been avoided. It is
always a good idea, when review-
ing literature, to pay close at-
tention to the written word —
that is what ultimately counts,
not the reviewer’s precon-
ceptions or ideas derived from
brief glances at complex works,
As editors, we have read and
reread the material in ‘‘The
Word” dozens of times, and
therefore are more familiar with
content and theme than a critic
who has read it once or twice,
With this in mind, we feel justified
in criticizing our critic’s ap-
proach,
Miss Caliois quite right. There
is a definite lack of concern for
the literary publications at this
University, The quality exists,
but some students never quite
get around to submitting their
works. She makes a serious
mistake, however, when she
claims that we have cut down on
variety because variety doesn’t
exist. On the contrary. We con-
sidered printing other poems,
short stories, essays, and even
another play, but to include them
all in one issue would skyrocket
publication costs and wreck our
budget. Due to the erratic collec-
tion and distribution of student
tax money (which supports ‘‘The
Word,” among other things) we
are forced to limit the numbers
of pages per issue. As editors,
we chose to print that which we
felt best reflected the aim and
tone of our magazine. Asa matter
of fact, we expanded this issue
(and devestated our budget) in
order to include the play
“Robert's Civil War.”
Since the works are available
to the readers, it is not a func-
tion of a reviewer to paraphrase
an article, that is unnnecessary
verbiage. By definition, a critic’s
function is to come forth with
intelligent criticism. The ASP
literary critic seems to have
overlooked this concept, Although
some of the issue was devoted
to an exploration of war —re-
lated themes, it was outrageous
of Miss Calio to ascribe Viet-
nam sentiments to pieces which
are not concerned with the war,
In addition, the ‘war efforts’?
deal with other human themes,
None of our material was mono-
thematic. A closer reading by
Miss Calio might have prevented
some of her more sophmoric
comments. For instance, ‘Rob-
ert’s Civil War” deals with basic
father-son hate conflict, man’s
existential condition, anderosion
of communication, as well as war,
“Epithalamium” explicity de-
votes one line out of twenty-
one to war. We suggest you read
the poem to uncover it’s real
concerns — we trust that our
readers are too sophisticated
to need our explanation.
We are not criticizing Miss
Calio’s opinions, she is certain-
ly entitled to them. We doobject,
however, to her questionable
methods and her surprising lack
of factual information, all the
more serious as sheis an official
ASP spokesman,

Tax Solution
To the Editor:
In regard to your editorial in
the Febraury 16, 1968 issue of
the ASP, entitled ‘‘A Bleak
Future,” I believe the following
will be a plausible solution to
the deteriorating finances of the
Student Association. As it now
stands, the student tax is an
optional fee to any student attend-
ing the University.
This leaves the receipt of such
tax monies vulnerable to the
whims of the students who feel
they will not receive $46 worth of
enjoyment from the various Stu-
dent Association sponsored
activities or those students who
“just don’t have the money,’
At Hudson Valley Community
College from where I trans-
ferred to State, there isa manda-
tory student activities fee paid
by every student at the begin-
ning of the school year.
This, as you can plainly see,
assures a definite amount of
money for each student enrolled
and makes it much easter to set
up a budget without having to
wait to find out from the bursar
how many students paid student
tax and how many did not.
Of course, the argument will
arise, ‘I haven't any time to
Participate in activities, so why
should I pay for them?’ The
fact is as you mentioned that there
are many things available to the
students whether they have or

include lectures, concerts, the
Primer, and the ASP,
Certainly the present annual
fee of $46 is not based on the
expectation of 100 per cent ofthe
student body contributing, so if
every student were to pay the
student tax, it only stands torea-
son the annaul fee could be
lowered while still providing
enough funds for Student Associa-
tion to operate.
With a lower student tax that
has to be paid, those students
not fully participating in campus
activities will not mind so much
spending the few extra dollars
that will be used in bettering
the social aspects of campus life
for the student body of their
university, z
The fact that the student has
to pay this fee will give him
some incentive to get the most
out of it that he can. More
participation means more actiy-
ties and therefore feel that $46
is a little too much to pay to
read the ASP or the Primer or
play a couple of football games
in the intramural leagues.

Complaint
To the Editors:
Waterbury Hall Council would
like to register our strongest
protest over certain aspects of
bus service.
First of our concerns is the
extreme irregularity ofbus serv-
ice on Sundays particularly be-
tween the hours of 5 and 9. As
many students use the buses at
these hours to go out for their
Sunday evening meal, we feel
that service at this time should
be more regular, and that the
hours at which buses run on Sun-
day evenings should be clarified
for the student body.
Secondly, we. feel that extra
buses should be put in service on
nights when exams are given in
courses in which the freshmen
are enrolled. On Nov. 30 and Dec.
6, when evening exams were
given by the Chemistry and Bio-
logy departments, large numbers
of Alumni Quad freshmen were
stranded on the new campus wait-
ing for the next bus because the
buses that were running would
not accommodate the number of
people who wanted to ride them,
We hope there will not be a
similar situation when the next
evening exams are given.
Finally, we would like a clar-
ification of the hours ofbus serv-
ice on Friday and Saturday nights.
We would also like to express our
concern over the curfew imposed
on residents of the new campus
dating Alumni Quad residents,
Although there is no official cur-
few, there is an effective one;
because there are no buses at
late hours on these nights, and
thus no transportation, these peo-
ple must return to their hall with
the last bus run,

COMMENT
by William M. Leue
A week ago today the Johnson
administration announded that all
student deferments for beginning
and first-year graduate students
not in medical or dental schools
will end as of June, 1968. In
addition, many occupational de-
ferments will be eliminated.
It was predictable, to say the
least, that this move would be
greeted by cries of anguish from
students and denunciations from
college administrators. It is true
that the termination of graduate
deferments will be a severe blow
to many schools, especially those
who rely on grad assistants to
carry much of their under-
graduate teaching load.
Since I am a graduatingSenior,
the new announcement affects my
future drastically and immediate-
ly. I decided some years agothat
I will go to jail rather than serve
in Vietnam, but to suddently see
the shadow of iron bars begin-
ning to solidify into reality is
disquieting after spending four
years of college preparing for a
professional career. Those stu-
dents whose backgrounds do not
impell them to object to military
service on moral grounds must
still confront the liklihood that
they will have to make sudden
changes in their plans for the
future.
In fact, we are all in for a
large dose of cold reality. We
are about to be underemoniously
dumped out of our nice, safe,
middle-class sanctuary of ‘‘ed-
ucation” and confronted with the
kind of coercion that we have
allowed the balck and the poor

Solution To War
To the Editor:
The war situation as it exists
today shows that prayers, demon-
strations and vigils do not end
war,
Wars have economic causes
and it is the economic causes
that must be removed.
The present system of society,
capitalism, which is based on
private property and classes, and
that produces the cause of war
must be ended and be replaced,
as the Socialist Labor Party
teaches, by the Socialist society
that gives everyone a stake in
peace.
The great need of the hour
is for the acceptance of Socialism
as the solution to war and the
other evils of capitalism.

Member of the Socialist
Labor Party.
bors, and who wakes up one night

We must now face the enor-
mity of what our country is doing
in Vietnam and around the world,
not as detatched onlookers, but
as either active participants in
murder or as political prisoners
of our own murderous society,
It is not an intellectual decision
that must be made, but a gut
decision, a real decision,
The administrators of the coun-
try’s graduate schools are cor-
rect when they say that the ending
of graduate deferments will cause
a shocking waste of trained man-
power. But they must admit that
this waste is only a direct logical
consequence of the even more
shocking waste and criminal in-
humanity of the Vietnam war. The
ending of the academic sanctuary
for the conomically privileged
(you and me, that ts), will be
constructive if it forces us into
active opposition tothe war which
we have tactly supported by ac-
cepting our 2-S deferments and .
letting our government (yours and
mine, whether we like it or not)
send somebody else to die in the
jungles of Southeast Asia in the
vain cause of ramming our
Western so-called culture down
the throats of a tiny peasant
country,
In fact, it would be better if all
student deferments were elimin-
ated. This move might tip the
wobbly political balance that is
maintaining the administration
in its present course. The Presi-
dent knows this, of course, and
so the undergraduates among us
will be ‘safe’ — for a while.

publishers.”’ This decline means
that fewer divergent ideas are
offered to the public through
newspapers. For example, New
York City, which at one time
had sixteen English-speaking
dailies, now has only three. Even
this is an exception because, out
of the nations fifty largest cities,
only twenty-three have more than
one-newspaper ownership.
This lack of ideas is important
because it- leads to over-
simplification. The recent race
riots reveal the want of origin-
ality and diversity in solving
social problems, Most of the
papers in Newark, Detroit, and
elsewhere came to the same
conclusion about the nature of
the riots: They were caused by
a small group of left-wingers,
pushed on by “subversives.””
Later investigation showed far
deeper motivations than these,
but the mass-circulation, mono-
poly-owned papers were oblivious
to other ideas at the time.
The Vietnam War coverage
also shows much mediocrity and
one-sidedness. Aside from the
better papers of the industry
(New York Times, Christian
Science Monitor, etc.), there has
been little original interpretation
of events. Despite the widening
Credibility Gap of the Johnson
Administration, most papers use
the government line. Good
examples are the two Albany
papers, both owned by the same
publishers. The general slant of
the Albany Times Union and the
Knickerbocker News is the same:
the United States is right, and is
winning the war. Although recent
events disprove these assump-
tions, the reader rarely receives
another picture.
It is time we look at the slow
erosion of the free press.The
giant publishing concerns are
slowly monopolizing the informa-
tion field. These consolidations
have the power to advance or
thwart the progress of society.
They can play up or down the
news and its significance, foster
and feed emotions, create com-
placent fictions, and uphold empty
slogans. It is important that they
do not crush free thought, be-
cause deceitful men thrive on an
unquestioning public. As Napo-
leon Bonaparte once remarked,
“Three hostile newspapers are
more to be feared than a thousand
bayonets.”’

Building Better Bridge
by Harry Nuekols
Today’s hand illustrates one
of the most important principle’s
for playing a hand—let the op-
ponent’s bidding work for you,
The hand was played in a sec-
tional team-of-four match. The
bidding is given as it took place,
and even though this writer was
involved, I don’t approve, But
then if it has not occurred, there
would be no story.
North’s no trump was of the
weak variety, 12-14 points. South’s
cue bid was meant as Staymen,
asking North to bid a four-card
major if he had one. The slam
was reached by pure momentum.
When the dummy came down,
South could see that the basic
Problem was entries to the North
hand, Three were desirable. One
to finesse trumps, and two more
for successive finesses in
Spades; but only two, the top
clubs, were available,
There was a chance that the
ten of hearts would turn into
a third entry, and since draw-
ing trumps was the first order
of business, South ruffed the
diamond opening in his hand and
Played a club to dummy’s ace,
The heart jack was run through
East’s king, and when it held,
the first hurdle had been clear-
ed, Now, if East had started
with just two hearts, the extra
entry would materialize. So a
low heart was led from dummy,
East followed low. Well, you
cannot have everything, South’s
queen won the trick and the last
trump was drawn with the ace,
Now South paused to collect
his information, East had start-
ed with three hearts and most
likely, for his overcall, six (or
more) diamonds. To getafurther
count on the hand, South cashed
the club queen; East following.
That gave East at least two
clubs, and, therefore, probably
two spades maximum, If one of
those spades were an honor,
only one spade finesse would be
needed,
So South entered dummy with
the remaining high club and led
the spade ten. East and South
played low, and West’s queen won
the trick. The diamond return
was ruffed and South’s ace of
spades brought down East’s now
long king, and the slam was
home, “4
Notice that it does East no
good to cover the spade ten, for
then South wins and concedes a
trick to the queen, claiming the
balance.

Art Exhibition Reflects
World of Modern Printing
by Gail Safian
A Big Prints Show—compiled
by a Big Univeristy—with many
Big Names involved; and it is
ours, The first exhibit orginat-
ing from our school has opened
in the Art Gallery of the Fine
Arts Building. Compiled by
Donald Mochon, Director of the
Gallery, Thom O'Connor, Asso-
ciate Professor of Art, and Mrs,
Charles Liddle, Associate Di-
rector of the Gallery, the invita-
tional exhibition is comprised of
94 prints by 47 artists from all
over the United States,
The prints present a broad
range of style and subject matter,
from the gay colours of Carol
Summers to the somber tones
of Thom O?Connor. Summers’s
colour woodcut ‘Fonte Limon’?
was chosen for a purchase prize,
and will become part of the Art
Department’s permanent collec-
tion, He was one of the first
printmakers to start working big
in the 1950’s, and he went on to
develop a very definite and per-
sonalized techinque. ‘Fonte
Limon’? appears tobe an abstract
landscape of appealingly warm
and vibrant colours which wrap
around the rice paper and come
up a floating orange and pink
rainbow and a mossy green moun-
tain with violet velvet paths about
it. A sweet and winsome pink
heart, with all the splendour of
a mushy valentine, radiates its
warmth from the center, Mr,
Summers is an excellent print
maker, and is able to control
the bleeding of the colours to
get just the soft, free edges
he desires, The composition
of his print is also quite well
planned, with paths of colour
drawing you from the edges to
the center. The curve of rain-
bow above also serves to com
tain the eye within,
Sister Mary Corita, the swing-
ing nun from the West Coast,
has three serigraphs in the show,
one almost eleven feet long. It
is called “Power Upl!’* and pro-
claims itself thus in two-foot
high letters which pound out their
message in greens and blues and
yellows and pinks. A long Bible-
based paragraph follows along at
the bottom in glorious green to
add inspiration. Sister Mary
Cortia uses the silk-screen pro-
cess ot its full advantage in her
choice of colours: ‘Jesus Never
Fails,” another of her Prints,
atrfully uses highlights of pink
and orange day-glow to accent
her letters and shapes. This
print is very appealing in its
cheerful colours, and in the soft.
sell message she tries to get
across. A Lennon-McCartney
quote, “I get by with a little
help from my friends,’ sits on
top, and a chopped-up message
of “its not easy’ slides around
to the right, Sister Mary’s care-
free calligraphy is casual, but
well done, and effectively points
up the informal ‘fun’? approach
to religion and life which she
seems to propound, She is Good-

Gerson Leiber’s eerie intaglio

minute details, cartoons, and a
variety of elements the meanings
of which are for the most part
rather evasive. A large patch of
design on one side is underscored
with a quote from the Jefferson

The whole thing is rather
annoying, for even after you are
able to decipher some of the ele-
ments and symbols, the overall
meaning (if there is one)remains
distinctly indistinct. The whole
thing seems a rather glorious,
horrible game of wits and
doodies; maybe Sakoguchi is
showing us a reflection of our
ridiculous world, of ourselves,

the intimacy that used to be as-
sociated with etchings and en-
gravings.
What was a delicately carved
line has frequently become a
big slash, where there was a
small scene, there is now a big
red square and circle. This is
motto say all printmakers have
gone in that direction—even in
the larger prints an intensity
beyond the possibilities of small
prints have been achieved.
Reverie
by Walt Doherty.
‘© The time has come,” the
Walrus said, ‘to speak of many
things, of shoes and ships and
sealing wax, of cabbages and
Kings.’ ”? So, Chad and Jeremy
owe the title of their latest of-
fering with thanks (or apologies)
to Lewis Carroll.
The songs on the album are
different from the more usual
C &-J tunes in that they involve
more “protest,’? social com-
ment, and satire.
Side two of the disc, “The
Progress Suite,’? is composed
of five movements: Prologue,
Decline, Editorial, Fall, and Ept-
logue. The basic idea of the
work is trite; it concerns the
fall of modern man’s civilization,
Its saving grace is the way
Jeremy Clyde has arranged the
melodies that he’s written as
well as the melodies themselves,
“Decline” is almost baroque in
moode and tone; even the instru-
mentation approaches that per-
iod. Cleverly worked into the
Piece are sounds of the stock
market, noise of crowds, and
other sounds of our hectic, rushed
life. ‘Fall’? ends with an ato-
mic bomb explosion which says
just about all that can be said
about ‘Fall’? Throughout the
Suite you hear Clyde’s melodies
which are tuneful, melodic, sing-
able—it makes you regret that
they were put in this work in-
stead of some song that would
have a chance as a single. “Epi-
logue’? contains the ‘moral’? of
the “*Progress Suite,” but even
so it?s got a- good sound typi-
cally C &J,
“Rest in Peace” is a tune-
ful knock at the dying business
(and funeral customs), It?s about.
a Memorial Maker named Mat-
thew. His customers bring the
names of those they held dear
and now are actually glad
to be rid of. The tone of
the song is kept up with the
melody which at times has a
distinct church sound,
“Family Way”? is about being
in the family way when one is
not supposed to be. It’s done
tongue-in-cheek,
Other songs on the record are
done fairly vol also; in fact
the strength of the album lies
in its melodies and its arrange-
ments, because the subject mat-
ter, for the most Part, is over-
used to a point where it is no
longer interesting Gf the “Pro-
gress Suite” had come out about
10 years ago it would have been
the hotest thing to hit music
this decade; however, it is not
10 years ago). As I said above,
the strength is in the tunes them-
selves which are a major point
in favor of the album, and in
the instrumentation (at various
times you hear guitar, bango,
harpsicord, organ, and sitar),

Profiles in the Performing Arts
by John Webb
The -University Revue is ‘*coming,”’ and as
musical director, I feel that I should comment on
the production which is about to be presented in the
theater which this company is setting up in the
Campus Center Ballroom. The eight-member cast
has been hard at work since Christmas in order to
have the show ready for opening.
One’s first reaction would be that, with only eight
people in the cast andthe simple sets with which we
are working, it is a simple production to stage.
Actually, just the opposite is the case. When so few
are involved, there can be no slips, and the char-
acters must blend and work very very closely to-
gether. When only a few sets and simple props are
used, it-isleftuptothe actors to create the illusion.
The music is very difficult, highly demanding,
but most enjoyable. It requires the girl to have a
good workable two-octave range, and it uses every
note. The Narrator and the boy must be versatile
singers in order to perform the music. The two
fathers have very clever songs, while the Mute says
nothing at all. Talk about extremes!!
This year the Revue is fortunate to have such a
talented group of people working for its success.
Our’ programs do not contain, as does the “Play-
‘bill’? in New York, a‘*Who’s Whoin the Cast,’.so
perhaps this:can be considered the purpose of this
column.
Leading the cast as El Gallo and the Narator is
Charles Bartlett who will long be remembered for
his role as Paul the puppeteer in last year’s Revue,
“‘Carnival,”? and for his role as Lennie in Of Mice
and Men. Chuck is a Senior who hails from San
Antonio, and who came to State after a stint in the
Coast Guard. In addition, Chuck has appeared in
other major productions — ‘Lysistrata,’ ‘ Wap-
shot Scandal,’? ‘‘The Memorandum,” ‘The Mis-
anthrope,’’ and ‘*Private Life.”
Luisa, the girl, is Mary Carney, a talented fresh-
man drama major who comes from|Ilion, New York.
Indeed this Mohawk Valley town which gives birth
to people who speak with flat A’s has caused quite a
problem. Before coming to State, Mary appeared in
her home town in ‘Bye, Bye Birdie,’ and had the
lead in ‘*Carousel.’’
Playing opposite Mary as Matt, the boy, is Gary,
Restifo, a sophomore from Mount Pleasant High
School in Schenectady. This is Gary’s stage debut,
but he is very active on campus as Vice Chairman
of Community Programming Commission, the new
Freshman Orientation Program, and as a brother
of Sigma Tau Beta.
The Boy’s father, Hucklebee, isplayed by Edward
Spence, a graduate assistant in psychology who
comes from the University of Massachusetts. Ed

Albany Tel. HE 4-9703
has participated in such shows as ‘Bye, Bye
Birdie,” ‘*The Music Man,” and Anything Goes.”
He was assistant director of ‘*L’il Abner,”? and di-
rector of*The Fantasticks”in Pittsfield, Mass. Play-
ing opposite him as the Girl’s father is John Webb.
Comic relief is very well provided for us by
Robert Clayton as Henry Albertson, the old actor
who recites upon cue, and Don Terry, the Indian
whose role for twenty years has been dying. Clay-
ton is a junior drama major from Waverly, New
York. He has appeared in such State productions
as ‘*Carnival,’’ ‘Lysistrata,’ and ‘*Merton of the
Movies.” This summer he played summer stockat
Cooperstown Playhouse. Terry is also a junior who
transferred here from SUNY at Farmingdale. Pre-
viously, Don has appeared in “Auntie Mame,” and
here at State has hada role in‘*The Memorandum,”
and the Golden Eye presentation of ‘‘MacBird.’*
The complicated part of the Mute is played by
Ken Fisher. Ken is a junior Anthropology major
from Rochester. He was seen this year in ‘Side
show,” and last year asa Roustabout in‘‘Carnival.”?
Ken’s other production credits include **My Fair
Lady,’? ‘*Our Town,’?» and ‘West Side Story.’”
Accompanying the show are three very accom-
plished musicians — Dennis Buck at the piano, Al
Santino on percussion, and Mrs. Marjorie Hartzell
at the harp. Al, a junior from Lindenhurst, L.I.
was percussionist for ‘Sideshow,’? and has played
with numerous bands in his home area. Mrs. Hart-
zell holds first chair with the Albany Symphony.
Dennis is a well-known figure here in musical
shows, having played for ‘*Gypsy,”? “Prevue '65,*
‘Carousel 766,” **Carnival,’? and ‘Sideshow.’ He
is also accompanist for Statesmen. During the sum-
mer he plays for the Brockport Summer Arts
Festival which has presented such shows as‘*Little
Mary Sunshine,’ ‘*The Merry Widow,’ ‘Peter
Pan,” **The Music Man,” and*‘Bells Are Ringing.’”
This production has been directed by Ellis Kauf-
man who is assisted by Jane Mandel. Ellis isa
Speech major from Philadelphia. His first theater
experience was his role in a summer stock produc-
tion of Carousel at the age of fourteen. This past
fall he was co-director of ‘*Sideshow,’? and last
year he served as Production Coordinator of**Car-
nival.”? He has performed in ‘‘Gypsy,’? ‘*Prevue
765," “Carousel ’66,” ‘‘Lysistrata,’’ and this last
summer he played summer stock at the Coopers-
town Playhouse for 24 hours.
Assisting with the production are Kathy O'Neil
as choreographer, Karen Nowinski on costumes,
Phyllis Larsen — props, and Eileen Deming as
lighting designer. The show promises to be agreat
success.

‘The Fantasticks,” a musical
parable about love, opens Friday
evening, March 1 in the Campus
Center Ballroom. The show will
run for eleven performances:
March 1 to March 4 and March 7
to March 11.
Curtain time on Saturday even-
ings is at 7:00 and 10:00 p.m.
All other performances will begin
at 8:30 p.m. with the exception
of the Sunday and Monday(March
11) shows, which will begin at
7:00 p.m.
The Campus Center Ballroom
has been converted into a theater
in order to house the show. Seat~
ing is limited to only 150 people
per performance and seven rows.
The small audience will help
visual and auditory perception.
An entire lighting system is also
being installed, under the di-
rection of Eileen Deming, to im-
prove viewing.
Ellis Kaufman Directs
Ellis Kaufman, producer of last
year’s production of “Carnival”?
and co-director of**Sideshow,” is
directing ‘*The Fantasticks.’?
Kaufman is well known for his
performances in many university
productions. He has also been
active in all phases of student
activities since his freshman
year.
Jane Mandel, secretary of
Dramatics Council, is the assis-
tant director. Miss Mandel has
appeared in many productions and
was last seen in the Brecht play,
“The Private Life of the Master
Race,’*
Kathleen O’Neil is the choreo-
grapher for ‘The Fantasticks.”
She was responsible for the danc-
ing in both‘ Carnival’? and‘*Side-
show.’?
Others involved in the produc-
tion are John Webb, musical di-
rector; J. Michael Walsh, produc-
tion coordinator; Karen Nowin-
ski, costumer; Phyllis Larsen
properties; and Mark Cunning-
ham, graphics,
Competent Cast
An extremely competent cast
portrays. the eight characters in
the play. The lead roles of Matt
and Luisa are played by Gary
Restifo and Mary Carney. Miss
Carney, a freshman from Ilion,
New York, gave a particularly
excellent performance in the
freshman skit “Damn It?
Charles Bartlett is the narrat-
or and the role of the mute is
filled by Kenneth Fisher. Edward
Spence portrays Hucklebee, John
Webb is Bellomy, Robert Clayton
plays the old actor, and Donald
Terry is the man who dies.
Has Simple Story
The story of ‘The Fanta-
sticks’? is very simple and deals
with children and their fathers.
The children, Matt and Luisa, are
in love; however, their fathers
wish to haye them go ‘out of
their minds with love.” There-
fore, the fathers make elaborate
plans to no avail and the children
find out that love comes only
after experience. As the lyrics
to the hit song “Try To Re
member” says: **without a hurt,
the heart is hollow.’?
The director of the show feels
that ‘‘The Fantasticks’ is dif-
ferent from the vast majority of
musicals produced today. ‘The
Fantasticks” has absolutely no
scenery to speak of. The people
in it are realistic and at the
same stylized, The play is also
played very closely to the au-
dience, with the cast speaking to
the spectators at various points
in the show.
When the characters are not
“talking their case’? to the au-
dience, they still keep the au-
dience especially in mind. Each
actor considers the audience as
a friend and gives a speech di-
rectly to the audience upon his
first entrance.
Should Be A Hit
AN outstanding aspect of ‘*The
Fantasticks’? is its songs which
are a beautiful blend of lyrics
and music. ‘* Try ToRemember,”
“Soon It’s Gonna Rain,” and “I
Can See It” are among the many
hits.
The show has been running for
eight years in New York City
and has entertained scores of
people.

KB, KD Dominate Olympics

Kappa Beta fraternity andKap-
pa Delta sorority dominated
Greek Olympica Day last Sat-
urday, but it was Alpha Lamba
Chi, that was victorious on Mon-
day, as they defeated Upsilon Phi
Sigma in the finals of the tug-
o-war at half time of the Siena
basketball game,
The competition was preced-
ed by blizzard-like snow flur-
ries, but the participation was
quite good in the mens events,
although the spectator turn out
was less than had been expected.
Eight fraternities entered the
volley ball competition, whereKB
and APA advanced to the finals,
KB kept the same six man squad
throughout, and they were
extremely effective as they cap:
tured the championship by a 15-6
count.
In the sorority competition KD
gained the volley ball champion-
ship with a 15-10 win over Chi
Sigma Theta.
In the softball throw which was
a test of both strength and ac-
curacy the results were very
much the same,
Hoopsters Lose Two,
Record Overtime Win
by Iris Alson
Albany State Women’s Inter-
collegiate Basketball Team met
the women of Castleton ina home
game on Tues, Feb, 13. Unfor-
tunately for the women of Albany,
they were defeated for the first
time this season, the loss com-
ing from Castleton by the score
of 37-30, The high scorer for
Albany State in this game was
Jean Herrick, who scored ten
points.
On Saturday, Feb, 17, Albany
State’s women participated in a
tournament at New Paltz. Com-
peting in the tournament were
Albany State, Duchess County
Community, and New Paltz.
There was no one tournament win-
ner, with each of the three schools
winning one game.
Albany suffered its second de~
feat of the season by losing to
Duchess County Community by
the score of 24-21 but came back
to gain its third victory by de-
feating New Paltz 25-23 in over-
time. The score was tied 20-20
at the end of the regulation time.
Albany was able to win in over-
time by maintaining control of
the ball.
Both of the Saturday games
were team efforts. There was
good defense and the team play-
ed well as a whole. There were
two outstanding players for Al-
bany. They were guards, Jamie
Gearon and Gloria Mazure. Both
girls were defensively alert,
making several interceptions, as
well as controlling most of the
jump balls. There was not a high
scorer for Albany.
Mermaid Win,
Drown Potsdam
Albany’s women swim team,
under the direction of Miss Meri-
deth Forrest, registered a 48-39
win over Potsdam, at Potsdam
last week.
A team of Renee Krinsky, Ann
Rohrbach, Ronnie Sharp and Bet-
ty Wepy captured the 200 yard
medley relay in 2:44.8, a school
record. Rohrbach also took first
in the 50 breaststroke witha time
of 41.5, another school record,
Another school record was es-
tablished by Sharp as she turned
in a 1:21 100 yard individual
medley. Rohrbach also estab-
lished a school record in the
100 yard breaststroke with a
time of 1:32.1. The girls also
captured the 100 yard free style
relay with a team composed of
Wepy, Krinsky, Carol Frew and
and Barbara Hicks,
Second place finishers for Al-
bany included Frew in the 50
yard backstroke. Hicks in the
100 yard free, and in diving, and
Krinsky in the 100 yard back-
stroke.

defeated Chi Sig in this event
and in the snow shoe race to

petition, which was not particu-

tition.

ties were entered, First APA

The men’s snowshoe race was
canceled due to the lack of snow
and also because of prior com-
mitments such as yearbook pic-
tures and basketball games,

APA HAS JUMPED INTO THE lead in League IB.
Frosh Top Siena 77-68,
Fall To Two Others
The freshmen have finally
given signs of coming of age, and
if the Hartwick game can be
brushed aside as atotal disaster,
the team can be looked on as
a rather solid one which still
makes some basic, needless mis-
Montgomery, the
frosh were once again hit with
an horendous first half, shooting
only 23 per cent from the field,
They were also gettingbeat badly
off the boards, This combined
with Fulton Montgomery's hot
shooting put the frosh 16 down
at the half. However, just as
regularly as the frosh have had
terrible first halves shooting 51
per cent. Albany came back with
a good second half, to within five
points with three minutes left,
but couldn’t quite pull it out. The
final score was 86-76 with five
men hitting double figures for
the frosh,
The Siena game was an en-
tirely different story, Albany led
all the way. The 1e Was ex-
tremely sloppy, but through it
all the frosh outhustled their old
rivals, Albany led by sevel at
the half, 41-34, and this is the
way the game stayed thenrest
of the way. For the second
straight game, the frosh had five
men in double figures, Jordan and
McDermott leading the team with
20 and 18 respectively.
The Hartwick game was the
kind the frosh would like to for-
get, but that wouldbe impossible,
Albany was destroyed by Hart
wick’s press, showed no muscle
under the boards, and played a
very ragged offense.
The first half wasn’t too bad
for Albany. The frosh had to
come back from a 17 point de
ficit to make the halftime score
39-29, They still appeared to be
very much in the gameasthey
narrowed the gap to seven with
fourteen minutes remaining,
However, The frosh com-
pletely lost their cool against
Hartwick’s full court zone press,
Hartwick hit an unbelievable 71
Points in the second half to make
the final score 110-71,
Frosh Grapplers Win
Finish With 2-6 Slate
The freshmen wrestling team
ended their season this past Sat-
urday as they defeated Adiron-
dack Community College by a
score of 27-12, As a result of
this victory, the team finished
with a record of two wins and
six losses.
Pete Ranalli initiated the scor-
ing for Albany as he pinned his
opponent in 5:55. He was follow-
ed by Kev Sheehan who also won
his match by placing the should-
ers of his opponent to the mats
in 5:43. Dave Jones, wrestling
at the 145-pound spot, decisioned
his opponent by a score of 41,
Roger Jones then recorded afor-
feit victory, thus allowing Albany
to amass eighteen points before
Adirondack could score.
The grapplers from Adiron-
dack finally registered points on
the scoreboard when, in the 152-
pound division, Bruce DeRosia
outscored Ted Long of Albany in
a tight match by a score of 10-
9, The 160 - pound division was
forfeited by both teams as was
the 177 - pound spot, In the 167-
pound division, Gos of Adiron-
dack won the match by forfeit,
The match ended ona win-
ning note for Albany as Kris
Jackstadt pinned the Adiron-
dack wrestler in 3:27.
The record for the freshmen
this year is rather misleading
because of the fact that the team
was lacking enough wrestlers to
fill every position for their
matches, Each time thatthe team
participated ina match, they were
forfeiting three of the weight
classes, thus giving their oppon-
ents fifteen points before any
actual wrestling began. Con-
sequently the team was under
pressure from the first matchon
to make up for these points,
Therefore, the members of the
team deserve great credit for
being able to surmount seeming-
ly impossible odds and record
victory where defeat seemed cer-
APA Tightens Hoop Lead
TXO Still Strong InIIA
Action was sparse this week in AMIA basketball leagues I and II, as most
games were played in the lower leagues, III and IV.
However in IB action the Barons nipped the Grads 53-52 and Alpha Pi Alpha
rolled over Alpha Lambda Chi 101-62 to tighten their grip on first place.
Action league II was a little bit heavier as in IIA Theta Xi Omega beat Ed-
ward Eldred Potter Club 43-35, with Cas Galka being high man for TXO,
Also in the league APA
defeated the 69ers 41-38
and Brubacher squeaked by
Sigma Lambda Sigma
37-35.
Over in IIB, action was
highlighted by Kappa Beta’s win
over Alpha Pi Alpha 52-43 and
Sigma Tau Beta’s loss to Water-

RICH MARGISON WASN’T STYMIED FOR long by the
Standout Rich Margison
Constantly Improving
From Cortland, New York
came a tall lanky freshman. He
went out for Coach Bill Schief-
felin’s yearling basketball squad
and started to impress and he
has been performing brilliantly
ever since. The first year up
on the varsity, this sophomore
led the entire team in scoring.
This year he is setting the scor-
ing pace for the entire tri-city
area. However, Rich Margison’s
deserved rise to stardom is not
a totally unexpected one.
“Bambi,’? as he is called by
onlookers because of ‘his grace-
ful strides and amazing leaping
ability, came to Albany with cre-
entials to testify to his ability.
As a senior at Cortland High
School, Margison went on to gar-
ner the honor of heading the
All-Syracuse basketball squad.
When basketball season was not
occupying his time, Rich found
tennis and x-country worthwhile
sports as he lettered in both
at Cortland.
Like Father, Like Son
If his high school record was
not enough to give suspicions
that Albany was welcoming a
star, a look at Margison’s family
tree could have provided a hint.
Bambi’s father, Richard Sr., was
a star center for the Albany
State basketball team when Page
Gym was the sports center of
Albany.
When asked what he attribut-
ed his marked improvement to,
Rich replied that, ‘*A year’s ex-
perience starting on the varsity
squad has helped me a lot. Doc-
tor Sauers’ confidence in let-
ting me play my style of ball
has instilled confidence in my-
self’?
Well-Rounded Person
Basketball takes up at least
three hours of Margison’s day,
yet he has been able to main-
tain a C+ B— average as well
as positions on the Junior Class
Council and the Inter-Fraternity
Council, where he is junior rep-
resentative of his fraternity,
Alpha Pi Alpha.
Lacrosse To Appear;
Practice Next Week
Lacrosse, a truly American
sport, will be appearing on cam-
pus for the first time this spring
For those who are unfamiliar
with the game a short description
might be in order,
Lacrosse is a violent, action
packed sport that originated with
the American Indians, The In-
dians played the game for fun
and entertainment, and also to
train their youngbraves, for war,
So when two tribes met on the la-
crosse field the result was often
closer io a war than a game,
Although the sport has been
tamed down a little bit by the
institution of some relatively
simple rules, and by the re-
quirement that the participants
wear some protective clothing,
lacrosse still remains a vio-
lent action packed sport that
is great for spectators, but not
for fainthearted participants.
The rules are easy enough,
Each team has 10 players, a
goalie, three close defenders,
three midfieldmen, three close
attacks, Each of these players
is equipped with a stick or
“cross,” and the object of the
game is to get the small hard
rubber ball that is used into the
opponents goal, but the ball may
not be touched by a player’s
hand, so the crosses must be
used to propel it,
Due mainly to the efforts of
Steve Jakway, a Lacrosse Club
is presently being organized, The
club ‘which will take on a inter-
collegiate schedule this spring,
will be coached by Joseph Sil-
vey of the Student Activities of-
fice with the assistance of John
Morgan of financial aids,
There are presently 25 men
out for Lacrosse, and plans are
being made to start practice ses-
sions next week at the new cam-
pus, weather permitting,
The team is still in need of
players, so all those interested
will be welcome, The club will
be holding an organization meet-
ing today at 1 p,m, in Humani-
ties 109,

Sports Editor
The Albany cagers showed that they are a team to
be reckoned with Monday as they survived a 10 minute
period of woeful shooting and miserable passing, and
still came on strong at the end to win by 7.
The Sauersmen played as well as would be expect-
ed for the first 20 minutes, and the Indians from Lou-
donville definitely appeared to be outclassed in almost
all aspects of the game. However, when the second
half got under way, it soon became apparert that the
Great Danes had suddenly gone sour. It is cold streaks
like this that make any team, college or professional,
vulnerable, for these streaks can strike any time on
any night.
On Monday night a fired up Siena team quickly took
advantage of the Albany slump and the Indians came
storming back from a 15 point deficit to surge intoa
five point lead. In a rivalry as heated as this one a rally
of such proportions could easily provide the spark nec-
essary to produce a major upset, and for a minute it
looked like that might be the case. However, the Albany
hoopsters suddenly settled down and went to work. The
gap was quickly closed as the Great Danes reasserted
their superiority, and once again took charge of the
game. Rich Margison started to break through for driv-
ing lay-ups, and the defense clamped down, preventing
Siena from getting the good shots that they were working
for so methodically. So Albany shot back into the lead,
building a lead of nine and reinforcing the impression
given in the first half that Siena really is not on a par
with Albany.
With Siena out of the way the next big test for the
Great Danes will be a week from today at Ithaca. The
Sauersmen, with an 11 game win streak under their
belts, certainly deserve consideration for a tournament
bid. A 17 game win streak is a possibility, and it is
hard to imagine how we could be overlooked if such a
win streak is achieved.
Buffalo State has already been assured of a tourna-
ment bid, due to their first place standing in the State
College conference, and it must be remembered that
Buffalo presently has five losses, with a possibility
of a couple more before the tournament. Albany pulled
out of this league several years ago, and has been play-
ing independently ever since, but we still take on a num-
ber of state schools, and if we beat Oswego, we will
have handled all opposition from that conference, thus
it would seem that if we do finish without another loss,
a tournament bid would be well deserved, but tourna-
ment officials are not known for their predictability,
so anything can happen.

Coach Dick Sauers’ quin-
tet proved deserving of the
bid this week as it tripped
arch-rival Siena, 79-72, on
Monday and trounced New
Paltz 80-56, on Wednesday.
Regarding a possible tourney
berth, Director of Sports Infor-
mation, Richard Rice, Jr., has
released the following informa-
tion. That, (1) C. W. Post, Far-
leight Dickinson, the University
of Rochester, LeMoyne, and Al-
bany State are under considera-
tion for three of the four at-
large bids in the regional; (2)
one of the above teams, exclud-
ing Albany, will be selected as a
host team for the tourney and
thereby receive a berth; and (3)
the NCAA committee will se-
lect the deserving squads some-
time early next week. Therefore,
the Albany contests against
Ithaca and Cortland next week-
end will have no bearing on the
Sauersmen’s chances for their
first NCAA tournament,
Buffalo State has the fourth
position automatically for win-
ning the State University Con-
ference championship,
All that one could ask for was
packed into the Albany-Siena con-
test. Playing before an estimat-
ed SRO crowd of 2,200 and with
over 1,000 fans stranded out-
side Cardinal McCloskey, the
Great Danes and Indians hooked
up in a tangle that will remain
in the memories of many for
a long time to come,
Led by junior standout Rich
Margison, the Danes got off to
a quick 7-0 lead. Keeping the
pressure on, the Purple andGold
raced to a 17-4 lead with 13:30
remaining and left the court at
halftime with a 46-34 advantage.
After Scott Price hit on a
jumper to put the Danes ahead
by 14 at the start of the second
stanza, Coach Tom Hannon’s
crew went on a 30-13 tear to
lead 64-59, with about eight min-
utes remaining.
Trailing 68-64, with four min-
utes to go, the Danes then rip-
ped off eight straight points to
go ahead, 72-68, a lead which
they never lost.
Margison, who scored a game
high of 25, hit four key baskets
in the final drive, three on spec-
tacular driving lay ups,
The New Paltz affair was no
contest as the Danes raced to
a 47-24 halftime lead and kept
the margin at around 25 points
throughout the remainder of the
game. It was the Sauersmen’s
12th win in a row, equalling the
mark set by the 1964-65 team.
They will have a chance to break
it tomorrow night at Pratt.
The last home game of the
season is this Wednesday, Feb-
ruary 28, at 8:30 p.m., against
Oneonta.
