Marist Upsets

by Nathan Salant

Mike Hart scored 31 points and Earl Holmes hit for 27, as the

Marist College Red Foxes defeated the Albany State Great Danes
varsity bastketball team. 92-86 before a crowd of 79 fans. Albany is

now 14-8; Marist is 16-10.

“We played horrendously,” said
Albany State Coach Doctor Richard
Sauers, “For 15 minutes we looked
like we did not even care about the
game, Too many players were
reading their clippings instead of
playing the game, It was good for us;
we got what we deserve

‘And indeed they did, as Albany
was outscored, outshot (55% to
47%), outrebounded (42-39), and
surrendered 70 points (let alone 90)
for the first time in 8 games, the last
time being the 111-94 win over
Ithaca in overtime.

‘The game was close at the start,
with the score tied at 18 alter 8
minutes, before the Red Foxes hit 9
straight points, outrebounded the
Dunes 7:0, and opened up a 27-18
lead with 7:30 to play, Bob Audi(12

pts) ended the Fox streak with two
buckets of his own.

Albany put together a {0 point
streak on 2 buckets by Gary Trevett
(12pts),and oneeach by Ed Johnson
(27), Mike Suprunowiez (20), and
Tom Morphis (6) to close the score
to 37-34 with 1:10 in the half, and
went off trailing 43-38 at halftime.

Hart and Holmes were already in
double figures (13.and 11 respective
ly) as were Johnson (12) and Trevett
(10), Neither team had been im-
pressive, with both having strange
cold spelts from the floor (Albany
was 0-7 in a three minute stretch;
Marist 1 for 9), The absence of the
tough Dane defense seen versus
Brockport was as much a factor in
the loss as anything else.

SA Slashes Stipends;

by David Winzetberg

A controversy is developing
around the Stipend Reform bill
passed by Central Council over two
weeks ago which made the elimina-
tion of most stipends and reduction
ofthe rest part of SA Finance Policy.
Stipends are monetary reim-
bursements paid to students
positions of responsibility in SA
groups

The bill suggests that stipends be
replaced by pass-fail independent
study credit

The bill was accompanied with
three page report of
dations forstipend reform submitted
by a Council Ad Hoe committee
formed on the subject.
Chairman Rick Meckler reported
that “a growing number of requests
for stipends sparked the reform ef-
fort” He added that “the eo

the station. They are not salaries but

funded organizations) people must
necessarily incur in the functioning
of their jobs.” Goldstein sitid that he
would favor “a viable academic

feels that none exist at the present
time.

Chairperson of Central Council,
Lew Fidler had asked SA President
Pat Curran to veto the bill, stating
that it was a change in finance policy
and therefore needed a two-thirds
margin to pass(the final vote was |=
8 for the bill). Curran refused to veto
the reform meusure claiming it was
an addition to policy, not a change,
Student Association V,P, Birnbaum
explained tht the reforms were "set~

Chairperson Fidler is in lavor of
stipend reform, adding,
that the committee's work thus far is,

however,

only a “first step in a several step

that the committee members would

| Practical Lessons

Most of the SA officials at SUC-Brockport have resigned. They built up enormous
gasoline bills on thier own cars and on their student government's (BSG, or Brockport
Student Government) two vans. One official used the BSG credit card for a five
hundred dollar engine overhaul. Other discrepencies were discovered also and the
entire case has been turned over to the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal
Investigation,

Corruption is not foreign to SUNYA. Last year's Director of the Campus Center
was indicted for finding ways for money to enter his pockets in amounts that have been
estimated at a twenty thousand dollar minimum, A head cashier over at FSA wasable
to funnel money into his pocket earlier this year in the same manner. The university,
like all other institutions in America, has no reliable wayto avoid this because some
corruption (often referred to euphemistically as “benefits") is expected.

What has happened at Brockport has some practical lessons to teach us. Elected
student officials cannot be trusted, just as most other bureaucrats and officials cannot
be, and if students want to protect their yearly sixty-four dollars in tax payments they'll
have'to institute strict guidelinesforthe use of that money. Here at Albany a numberof
sophisticated financial procedures have been instituted in recent years for efficiency
and to prevent misuse, These procedures did not stop some of last year's SA officials
from obtiining free tickets, free meals (charged to SA), and making other questionable
expenditures of SA money. This year's SA President Pat Curran is the antithesis of
corruption, and regularly refuses even the most trivial form of graft. But Pat Currans
are few and far between, which is the point,

Price of Success

Events at the State University College at Brockport are reminders that students are
no exception to the pervasive current of corruption in American society, Watergate,
rather than ¢liminating unethical practices in business and government, may have
simply institutionalized them. If it gocs on at the highest levels of the federal
government, how could it ever surprise us at any other level.

Solutions are being tried, but they are analagous to draining a swamp by drinking
the water: You become heavy, feel crummy, get sick.and then it rains and you're
where you started. For every white collar criminal brought to trial, thereare thousands
who continue not only without being caught, but without seeing themselves as being
guilty. It would be much casier to list those skimming off the top than those who aren't
taking graft simply because it would be a real project to find an honest person

Kenneth B, Clark of CUNY said in the New York Times recently that American
society has accepted dishonesty us the price of success, and that “when dishonesty
appears to work, it is difficult to argue persuasively for honesty” Corruption is so
prevalent in the United States that it may indeed he useless toargue against it. Theonly
solution, assuming we want one, would be a complete revolution, a revolution that
might not include violence but probably would,

Kissinger has recently returned from yet

considered to be one of a fact-finding nature,

and the Prime Minister of Israel stand on a
second stage disengagement agreement

Egypt, at this stage, is looking for more
concessions from the Israelis. in the

of the Abu Rhudeis oil wells in the southwest

4+2 Starts
Anew

by Rona Warren
{ you've ever questioned
I whether dorm living is really
for you, but doubted tha! the
alternatives available would suit your
needs, you're not alone. This is a
question which motivated a group of
Indian Quad residents to search for
more than mere traditional dorm
residence. The resull of this search was
the "4 + 2 Revision Committee.” The
committee was open to all who had
ideas fo contribute or wanted to learn
along wilh its members.

In 1971, “4 + 2”, communal dorm
was initiated on Indian. The
excitement of the new living concept
was maintained as long as ils founders
resided in the dorm, Despile their
idealistic intentions, the plans were not
stringent enough to be perpetuated
alter the founders left. There was also
virtually no selection process to
guarantee that all the incoming 4 + 2
residents would be aware of the
commitments necessary to maintain a
specialized dorm

Faced with the possibility of 4 + 2's
termination, yet still believing in the
ideals originally established in 1971

coordinating lounge and dorm

Each commitlee must research the
advantages and disadvantages of
requests made fo if but all final
decisions will be made at a “Towne
Meeting” based on committee
recommendations, Towne Meetings
will be every week. It is hoped that
all residents will make the time to
attend each meeting. No one will be
forced {o attend, but considering the
type of person expected lo live in 4 + 2,
the word “force” will have no meaning.

Aside {rom committee reports and
decisions to be made, itis at the Towne
Meetings that ideas will beexchanged
and individual endeavors will be
pulled together.

The process ol selection was a major
issue that presented many problems
for the committee. Obviously it is
dilticul! to devise a fiar and objective
method of singling out specilic people
from selection of the applicants.

At the same time the selection
process is a key lactor in assuring
success of the new 4 + 2 because it was
a key reason for the original 4 + 2's

member mu

before its residents physically live
together. Once the selection process is
over, 4 + 2 will begin Towne Meetings
this spring so that members ol thedorm
can get to know each other before the
fall semester begins.

Atone ol these Towne Meetings pro-
tem chairpersons will be selected for
each committee. Each of these
chairpersons will keep their committee
members and the rest of the dorm
posted during the summer ol any
developments that occur within the
committees.

{n addition to the various committees
that each dorm member is expected to
serve on, the dorm’s only judiciary
body will be a “Lifestyles Panel.” This
will be a rotating panel of six members
picked at random when and only when
a problem between dorm members or
violation of the dorm policy occurs.
Alter hearing both sides of an
argument, the panel will make a
decision and present a report at a
Towne Meeting.

Taking the panel's decision report
into consideration, the Towne Meeting
will vote on whether the panel's
recommendations should be
accepted. Alter this, the Lifestyles
Panel is dissolved and no new panel
will be convened until another
incident arises.

The advantage ol this system is that it
is well integrated with the 4 + 2 ideals
as a whole. If any problem occurs
within the dorm only dorm residents
may act on it. Each member of the
dorm will be taking an active part in
solving any conllicts,

4 + 2 is now in Oneida and
Onondaga Halls on Indian Quad. It

was lelt by the committee that the 210
residents in these two dorms were too
large a number to start a specialized
dorm with, It has been proposed that
the new 4 + 2 will see its rebirth in
Mahican Hall on Indian which houses
just 108 residents. This will aid the
dorm in getting together closer and
faster.

The dorm will be co-ed by suite,
Indian Quad Style; that ison each floor
the end suites (4 inall) will be occupied
by the members of one sex while the
hall suites will be composed of their
opposites.

Although the dorm director should
be involved in the alfairs of the dorm,
this person should not usurp
responsibilities given to the residents
by the 4 + 2 guidelines. The RAs
appointed fo the dorm will be made
aware of the dorm policies, and as a
resident must agree toadhere to them.

The members of the commitiee have
been working hard for the past few
months with Kathy Kozar and David
Jenkins, coordinator of Indian Quad.
Al an all-night meeting on February
21, the ollicial proposal for the new 4+
2 was drawn up. This proposal was
then submitted to the Housing
Committee Sub-Committee of the
Student Aflairs Committee. Once the
proposal is approved, there will be
announcements posted in the ASP and
lor interes! meetings. All
ing to join 4 + 2 must atlend
an interest meeting.

It is thehopeo! the committee and all
those involved that people seeking
more from theiron-campus residences

In which a dry tickle changes into blatant reality

and grips at your solar plexus. A fourth attempt at quitting

by Nancy Gray

don't remember when I
I decided that 13 years was the
age to start, but somehow |
must have made thatdecision because
on my 13th birthday, I lit my first
rigarette feeling fully justified that |
had waited the prescribed time. All we
ever heard bad about cigarettes back
then in the 50's was that they stunted
your growth, No one, of course,
believed it, all of us having uncles who
smoked towering over six feet. We lelt
they just told us that because they
didn't want us to grow up. We knew
they preferred us as children because
we were easier to control, Back then,
and in a lot of ways now also, we
equated adulthood with smoking and
that's precisely the reason we started.
It was also very important to be good
at smoking and to achieve al least a
pack a day. We all practiced in front of
mirrors, We never got the lip wel (lilters
were rare then), never held it in the
middle o! our mouths, always to one
side, I got so good | could hold it in my
mouth while talking, squinting my eye
so the smoke wouldn't irritate. By the
lime | reached a pack a day (hard todo
when one has to spend five hours in
hoo! where no smoking is allowed),
my parents had lost any authority over
me, After all, | reasoned, who are they
fo tell me. We are all adults now, we all
smoke. It is my conclusion that no
matter what people say, most of them
started smoking to achieve adull status
and that's the pity of it. Now we've
learned it can cause cancer, heart
disease, emphysema and who knows
what else. That's a whole lot more than
we bargained for when all we wanted

to do was grow up
This is my fourth attempt to quit
smoking. | think I'll make it this time.
For one thing, I can't remember how
long it's been since | quit. (In the past, |
used to know to the hour.) | have since
concluded that counting the days is a
mistake, [In order to succeed, I've
decided | must understand that it is
irrelevant how long it'sbeen. Ican only

stop smoking once. I can pause, rest,
cut down many times, but only stop
once. If I am counting the days, then
quitting is a continuous thing, not
something already accomplished. If 1
have tly stopped smoking and
someone offers me a cigarette, I'd say

‘No thanks, I don't smoke.” Otherwise
Td say, “Not now, maybe later.”

Two years ago in Colorado I had
bronchitis. It was a month of that most
horrible of throat things, the
unreachable dry tickle. 1 couldn't do
two cigarettes a day without coughing
till my eyes teared, When | was finally
well, I tried to quit the third time. My
husband and | decided to try the
buddy system developed by
Alcoholics Anonymous. Working
together, we “paused” for about six
weeks. Then he had to go oul of lown
on a job for three months. That took
care of that for both of us.

Now some people say you can't half
way it. | don’t agree. | think it must be
harder lor someone who does two
packs a day to quit than someone who
does two or three packs a week. | am

convinced one can work out a
program of gradual withdrawal go that
when one takes the final plunge, it's nat
so severe. | am reinforced in this b
by an interview | saw of Katharine
Hepbum in which she related how she
quit smoking by culling down day by
day, It was a deliberate, disciplined
effort on her part and it worked

Alter the Colorado failure, | never
quite reached a pack a day, | noticed
(and I'm sure all you smokers out there
know the feeling) that if I did over a
pack a day, my throal would burn and |
would wake up the following morning
feeling like my fat mother was sitting
on my chest, Now who wants to feel like
that for an eye-opener? To what
purpose—you can't even get high on
the stuff,

| decided to cut down little by little.
Every day, I'd add 15 minutes or more
fo the time I waited for my first cigarette
of the moming. | would not allow
myself more than one smoke per
hourJIn just three or four months | got
down to three or four packs a week.
Hours would go by without even a
craving. | remained at that level for
over a year. Now even the Cancer
Society would be happy with that. [was
pretty satisfied with it myself, but not
my husband. He had quit by himsell
some months belore and like some
relormed crusader, he badgered. My
daughter badgered

1 mind if you

ardall the arguments... all
the lates! statistics from the cancer and
heart people. They would appeal to my
intelligence, oflogic, my love
for them, anything they could use. It
was gelling more and more dillicult
standing my ground knowing full well |
was wrong. Moreover, and what |
couldn'tadmit to them, my throat never
really stopped hurting since that time]
was sick in Colorado. I dared not tell

them that it was always sore, that I was
beginning to be afraid myself. A throat
is. not supposed to hurt constantly, [
know that for sure.

I think of myself as practical, logical
and realistic. "What," | would ask
mysell, do I get from smoking? It
doesn't speed me up, slow me down or
improve my appetite. (I am quite
skinny and always working on gaining
weight.) It doesn't bring me down or
even get me high as a kite. The worst
chemical on the whole drug scene has
a better record on that score. Yet, [
would think about quitting and a cold,
deadly feeling would emerge right
around the area of my solar plexus. I'm
re you know it;a tight list grabbing al
you, forcing you to back down.

Until recently, | believed that if |
could figure out the reason for thal
feeling of fear, the psychological basis
for my smoking would becom
and | would thereby be cured. I still
don’t have the answer to that one, My

ith a downturn in the use of
drugs like LSD,
amphetamines and even

marijuana, many young people across
the nation have returned fo another
drug that was number one all along:
alcohol.

And what's more, many of them are
getting farther into the liquid drug than
they ever did with other drugs. The
resull is a serious and growing
problem ol young alcoholics.

EVOLUTION OF A DRUNK

rding to treatment experts,
are two stages in the
at of alcoholism. The first is
a preoccupation with
liquor, a personality change, gulping

or doubling drinks and an increase in
tolerance, The second, physical stage
occurs when the disease has

progressed over @ period of lime
Symptoms can include blackouts,
ulcers and liver or kidney damage
For those who suspect they may be
slipping ito an alcohol problem, the
National Insitute on Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholisin hasa ten question test
1) Do you think and talk about
drinking often? 2) De you drink more
than you used to? 3)Do you sometimes

carved wood: the ceiling, the floor, the
desks and chairs. The walls were lined
with paint portraits of past judges. The
seven judges sat in frontof the lawyer's
desks. In the back was forty chairs for
visitors. The only people there were the

Judge Brite] sat in the middle, calling

sincere in my cause. The judge
laughed and Brite! said, “Never put

the judge a cookie.

There was one interesting case. This
involved the system of assessing land
in New York. Instead of assessing land
by its full value, it is assessed at its
fractional value. The plaintif{ in this
case argued two points: 1) The
assessors gave the value using
tractional assessment. This caused the
man to pay excess taxes. 2) The
fractional system is unfair and
impractical because it is hard to
determine the fractional value of land
and different states use different
fractions, so you need special
conversion charts. The court might
decide that you must assess land at its
lull value. The only question is, how do
you delermine full value?

Because the Court of Appeals does
nol involve a jury and the questioning
of witnesses, it is not as exciting as a
trial court. Yet it is still a worthwhile

dues level is set by. the Delegate
Assembly and each campus student
government or student body
voluntarily chooses each year to bea

I. Priorities for Action During the
1975 Legislative Session

A. Student membership on
Governing Boards—A voting student
member should be added to serve fora
one-year term on each of the following
governing boards:

1. SUNY Board of Trustees—student
member should be elected by and
from the student Assembly of the State
University. Student member shall be a
member of the Executive Committee of
the Board of Trustees.

2. SUNY Local College Councils—
student should be elected by and from
the respective student body:

3. Community College Boards of
Trustees—student should be elecled
by and from the respective student
body,

4, New York City Board of Higher
Education—student should be elected
by and, from the University Student
Senate of the City University of New
York,

E. State Work Study Program

The Legislature should resolve to
create a state work study program and
should direct the State Education
Department to research, develop and
propose a program for action by the
Legislature in the 1976 legislative
session. Like the federal program,
eighty: percent of the cost should be
bome by the State with the remainder
provided by the sponsoring institution
or agency and a limitshould be placed
‘on the number of hours that can be
worked, eg. fifteen to twenty hours per
week. Students should be selected on
the basis of financial need but also
because of other considerations such
as skill, expertise, and interest in areas
lor which jobsare available. Unlike the
federal program, however, eligibility
for the program should not be limited
toon-campus jobs, but should actually
emphasize off-campus jobs which are

study of career plans.

G,Student Voting Rights

The Election Law should be
amended to:

J. Student Voting Residency

Permit students the option tochoose
to register fo vote at their college
residence or their parents residence,
depending on which they designate to
be their permanent residence. The
legal delinition of residence should not
exclude residency in college
dormitories,

B, Open meetings of Governing
Boards

Examples of such issues include
student financial aid, SUNY Budget
SUNY tuition and room rent, university
govemance, and student rights
including voting rights.

SASU Legislative Concerns

The following outline lists some of
the positions and issues which SASU
has already decided to pursue during
the 1975 legislative session.

I. Automatic Top Priorities

1. Maintain adequate state funding
of SUNY to prevent any increase in
tuition or room rent or in
faculty/ student ratios or any decrease
in funding of temporary service jobs
for students or student service
programs,

2. Oppose any action which would
result in an increase in SUNY tuition or
room rent.

3. Oppose any propoaal for the
Legislature to eliminate or regulate th >
mandatory student activity fee.

4, Oppose any cutbacks in financial
aid programs which would adversely

b. Require county and city boards of
elections to make copies of this
standard form available in bulk at
colleges, hospitals, nursing homes and

SUNY Board of Trustees, the board of
trustees of each Community College,
and the Board of Higher Education of

the City of New York, at which formal ther institutions where absentee
action is taken be open to the public Yoling is prevalent, post ollices and
and that adequate notice be given of other public facilities, and to

organizations which disseminate

such meetings.

C. Age ol Majority

Amend the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Law to reduce to 18 the
minimum age of anyone serving as an
officer or a member of the board of
directors of a corporation that holds a
liquor license.

voler registration information.

c. Exlend eligibility for absentee
registration and voting to include
unmatriculated college students.

d. Eliminate provisions requiring
absentee forms to be notarized and
signed by a third party to verily the
need for an absentee form.

D. Tuition Assistance (TAP) and
Regents Scholarship Programs

1. Correct technical errors in the
Education Law to insure retention of
the "Save Harmless Provision.” This
provision which was included last year
because of the efforts of SASU allows
students prior to the 78-79 academic
year to opt to receive their awards on
the basis of the new financial aid
programs or by the provisions of the
old Scholar Incentive and Regents
Scholarship programs, whichever is
more advantageous to the student.

related,,to students’ major fields of

twelve noon of the day belore the date
of the election.

2. Continue the provision in the
Regents Scholarship Program enacted
last year which guarantees thatatleast
one scholarship will be awarded each
year for every forty graduates from
each high school in the state.

3. Amend the provision defining
financial independence of a student
from his or her parents by eliminating
the requirement that an independent
student. establish a permanent
residence other than in a college
dormitory.

Il. Proposals to Research and
Develop in 1975
A. Sales Tax on College Textbooks

Amend the Tax Law to exempt from
the state and local sales tax all
textbooks sqjd by stores owned and
operated by“approved colleges and
universities or by not-for-profit
educational corporations or
associations located on the campuses
of such institutions which are sold to
students enrolled in such institutions.

B. Discrimination Against Students
in Housing Codes

Prohibit housing code regulations
which discriminale against unrelated
households.

C. Collective Bargaining in Public
Higher Education

The Civil Servi Law should be
amended to add the following
provisions in regard to collective
bargaining by employees of public
institutions of higher education:

Permit representatives of student
governance organizations to be
accorded third party observer status
during negotiations.

Collective bargaining agreements
should require the approval of the
institution's governing board.

Terms and Conditions of
Employment" should be detined so as
to exclude matters relating to
universily govemance.

D. Selection of Governing Board
Members

Provide for a broadly constituted
advisory committee to consult with the
Governor in the appointment of
members of the SUNY Board ol
Trustees.

E. Financial Aid for
Students

Part-ime

Tuition Assistance Program

Eligibility for awards should be
extended to include half-time students
(those carrying 6 credits or more) whto
are matriculated in associate or
baccalaureate degree programs. Such
students would receive awards equal
toone-hali of the award that tifey would
be entitled to as full-time stuc For
the purpose of determining the
number of semesters for which
studerits are eligible for aid, each
semester asa halt time student shall be
counted as one-half of a full-time
semester.

F. Campus Day Care Facilities

need be no reference to student power, No
threat to teacher job security or academic
freedom is posed, And there is no mention of
the notion that those who pay should have a
say in the matter.

The point here is that tenurecommittees can
fulfil their responsibilities more effectively if
issues of scholarship, teaching and service a
ruled on from the varying perspectives of all
parties concerned.

To the Editor:

In the February 25, 1975 issue of the AS’
there was an article by Betty Stein, concerned
with the mandatory student tax. The first
Sentence of Ms. Stein's article was “As many
students already know, a referendum will be
held on March 4-6 to determine whether the
Present mandatory student tax policy is to be
maintained or instead replaced with a
Voluntary payment policy.” | feel that many
Students do not know of this referendum and
SA ought to publicize it mare than it

The article dealt with the reasons behind the
upcoming tax referendum and the possibilities
offered in Place of the mandatory tax. Mr.
ringer aformer Albany undergraduate, had
ized the mandatory tax policy in 1970.
He sought to eliminate the mandatory tax and
‘eplace it with a “pay-as-you-go” or voluntary
basis,

| support Mr. Stringer’s views. Why should

the students of thisuniversitybe forced to pay a
mandatory tax to fund programs they have
little or no interest in? Instead, | favor an
itemized voluntary tax, whereby the student is
allowed to choose for his or herself those
Programs he or she wishes to fund or support.
The students of this campus should not be
coerced by SA and the Bursar's Office to fund
that which they do not useorcannot pay for.

This referendum was put on very short
Notice and definitely is to the disadvantage of
those opposing the mandatory tax. There is
Precious little time to mount any opposition

to exercise their right of representative
taxation and vote against the mandatory
student tax, A requirement of a 20¢6 voter
turnout is necessary for a binding vote,
repealing the mandatory tax. The next chance
for a repeal won't occur again until 1977, so it's
the last chance for many’ students to exercise
their perogative and rights on this issue,

Martin Patchett

Editor's: Note: A bill was passed at last
Wednesdar’s Council meeting postponing the
ay referendum till Spring. This should insure
a larger voter turnout.

{Don't bother with small loans to regain

solvency, go for the big time: declare

bankruptcy. Because of a quirk in our

economic system, bankruptcy is the legal

means of reestablishing good credit and

‘An increasing number of students and
graduate students have turned to bankruptcy
as a way of resolving personnel debts,
according to legal sources. With inflation and
‘the high cost of living, many graduate students
have started their professional careers with
debts up to $30,000 and have seen no feasible
or honest way to pay up.

Students and Stigmas

“Students don’t take bankruptcy lightly,”
said Beth Karren, the legal advisor at the
University of California at Berkeley. “There's
‘a real moral stigma attached to it and they
usually come in quite a few times before they
decide to go ahead with the proceedings.”

There is also a financial stigma. Stereos,
radios, sports equipment, furniture and other
material goods are all taken away when
bankruptcy is declared. Bankrupt students
can usually wave bye-bye to credit cards and
loans for the next several years. Proven to be

Yet bankruptcies are so easy to obtain that
students, for the most part, represent
themselves in court. In fact, all students have
to do is convince the judge that their liabilities

Loan Defoult

The cumulative effect of: student
bankruptcies, however, have been severe. The
University of California at Berkeley absorbed
$303,364 in-tincollected student loans last
year; this. year, across the country, students
will default on 1500 federally insured loans.
‘The debt approached halfa billiondollars and
hhas threatened the existence of the federal
student loan program.

‘This program, which has been ineffect since
1966, has distributed $7 billion to over 4
million students. It has been predicted that 24
per cent of the outstanding loans will never be
repaid. The 1975 fiscal budget originally
estimated that the student loan loss would hit
$134 million but the figure has since been
revised to $245 million,

No Limits

and there is no minimum or maximum debt

Bankruptcies are handled only by federal
courts but property exemptions are
determined by state law. The normal
exemptions—property that a person can hang
on to after declaring bankruptey—include
clothing, a percentage of wages, basic
unpretentious transportation and
occupational tools,

One Good Thing

The ease with which student borrowers
obtain bankruptcies has prompted two
California congressmen to sponsor a bill
which would exempt student federal loans
from bankruptcy laws.

In the meantime, bankrupt students have

In the forseeable future, New York State will be run by crisis politics. For the past two weeks,
Governor Carey has been completely pre-occupied with the insolvent Urban: Development
Corporation, a billion dollar fow-income housing subsidy construction corporation whose
business rarely if ever touched the lives of New York's citizens. Words were cast about during the
storm such as “endangering the financial structure of the state,” “rippling affects across the
nation’s money markets,” or “compromising the entire system of low-income housing.” Most of
the rhetoric was hyperbole, designed in the last minute atmosphere, to scare the lazy State
Legislature into action.

“The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs all the commuter trains in the
metropolitan area as well as bus and subway service in New York City has been running at a
million dollar loss every day for the past year. It needs $273 million in subsidies to survive past
March 6, Thursday. Without it, the MTA shuts down, the trains stop, no one commutes to New
York City to work, and thewordsof “financial crisis,” “endanger the money structure,” “cripple
the city and the state” will be heard again,

The New York State Legislature closes shop on Wednesdays, and they can all be seen on the
“Thruway or the American Airlines 12:59to New York on Thursday. Judging from past behavior,
that their four day weekends are more important than the MTA, the decision to bail it out, which
in the end is what the state will do, will occur at midnight on Wednesday, following impassioned
speeches chastising the political parties, praising themselves for the last minute heroics, while all
the while, the Democrats would havethe votesor the bill before one of them set foot on the
Assembly floor that night. Asone Al Blumenthal aide said before the U DC vote: “We're bringing
the billto the floor now (11:30 p.m.)."Q: Do youhave the votes? A: “No bill ike this would get to
the floor if we didn’

So the MTA will be saved by playing crisis politics. Right now there is a bill to appropriate $67
million to the MTA. It has been sitting in committee for three weeks. Why? There are two
reasons. First, the Democrats probably don't have the votes secure enough to dare reporting it
onto the floor. Secondly, if they wait until the last minute, more bi-partisan support will develop
«as no one bothers to think about what they're doing. At midnight, Assemblymen, like most
humans, don’t function at peak efficiency. There is a greater chance of slipping a big one past
them at midnight than at three in the afternoon. As longas the bill sits in committee, no one will
take the extra time out and read it, By the time it gets out of committee, it will be (oo late, Crisis
politics will have taken over.

There are other crisesto keep a watchful eye out for. The state budget is due on March 31 and
Gov. Carey's proposal stand little chance of secing passageas it looks now, On the same day New
York City will need $800 million or run out of money and be unable to meet its payroll. Two
crises in one day are more than the Legislature can handle. The Gov.’s executive budget provided
for a decrease in school aid, Without such aid, county leaders are warning of real estate taxes

The Maids, by Jean Genet, is a
fascinating - play portraying two
highly complex characters pursuing
a life of illusion. Its plot is
mysteriously enigmatic and in-
volved, and its exposition often
eaves the audience guessing as to
whether or not they should believe
what they are being told. Because of
thecomplexity of both characterand
plot structure, the play is a very dif-
ficult one to produceeffectively. The
Sunya Theater Department's
production of Genet's play last
weekend overcame these difficulties
with deftness and ease, leavinga very
nice production.

‘The play revolves around the fan-
tasies of two maids, Claire and
Solange, whose base existences are
totally comprised of illusions of
grandeur, Their fantasies are eerie,
sado-masochistic games, highly in-
volved master-slave relationships
that have become more real for them
than reality itself, As one maid
pretends at being Madame, their
employer, the other rises up in
rebellion and is stopped short of
murder only because the timealloted
for the game is up. As the play goes
on an intense love-hate relationship
is developed between the maids, a
combination of disgust and fascina-
tion for their miserable lives, ending

in, first the fantasy, then the actual
death of one of the maids. Thi

ly involved love-hate relationship
was well presented in the produc-
tion.

Debbie Ottaviano, in the role of
Claire, the younger of thetwo maids,
gave an excellent performance,
reaching into the many levels of her
character and exhibiting each one
very nicely. Her performance of
Madame during the opening game
was well done, bringing across the
hateful image of Madame as seen
through Claire's eyes. Her first tran-
sition from Madame to Claire was
perfect. One almost felt Ms.Ot-
taviano shrink as she went from the
grandeur of Madame to the
minuteness of Claire, As Claire, Ms.
Ottaviano was the picture of inno-
cent despair in all she did. Her
youthful turbulence was artfully dis-
played throughout the performance,
from her first fantasy of murdering
Madame to her final decision of
suicide. As the weaker of the two
sister maids striving for control of
the relationship, Ms. Ottaviano
brought across every bit of rashness
and disparity inherent to the
character. Her scene in which she im-
agines herself to be a grovelling
Madame at the feet of the victorious
Solange was breathtaking, and

brought across the total desponden-

cy of the character perfectly.
Helene Geberer, as Solange, the
stronger of the two maids, was also
quite good. Ms. Geberer'scold, cruel
visage and hard, calculating stance
riveted the audience's attention from
the moment she stepped on stage,
while her brutality throughout the
show was overwhelming, Ms.
Geberer was at her very best,
however, during her two
monologues at the end of the plas
Her first, in which Solange
herself the murderer of Claire, was
nicely controlled, bringing the
audience to a climax just at Claire's
entrance and leaving them gasping.
Solange’s final monologue was also
very nice, One could almost see the
two characters merging into one
through the person of Solange.
There were times, however, when
Ms. Geberer’s control did not work
to her benefit. Often one felt that she
was holding herself back, not allow-
ing herself to let loose with role. The
one moment that comes to mind is
immediately after the maids have
discovered that Madame's lover is
out on bail, Ms. Geberer never
allowed her character to get very
alarmed over this situation, Even
though the character is, for the most
part, calm and rational, it seemed a
little unbelievable that she did not
get the least bit upset over such a ma-
jor problem, For the most part,

Peace and the Romans

Let's tum things around a little
bit. Everyone thinks of the Romans
as warriors, the whole nation being
practically a war machine. Even the
historian Livy recounts that in very
carly times her neighbors regarded
Rome as “an armed camp in their
midst.” But the Romans had a love
‘of peace also and a high regard fort.
Actually they may have been no
more warlike than other ancient, not
to mention modem, peoples, only
more efficient

At this point someone may ask,
“What about the belief of the
Romans themselves that they were
the descendants of the war god,
Mars?” The question should rather
be “Was Mars a war god?” or “Was
presiding over war his only func
tion?” Certainly Mars was concern-
ed with war, otherwise he could
never have been identified with the
Greck god of war, Ares. The trucand
origin nature of this deity is lost in
the long expanse of time since the
days of the primitive Romans and in
the layers of later accretions.
However, there is ample evidence
that Mars had important connec
tions with agriculture. Perhaps
originally he wasa god of farms and
pastures with the special function of
protecting crops and herds, often, of
course, by war.”

‘At the time of the dictatorship of
Sulla, following the wars between
Marius and Sulla, Cicero wrote of
the disastrous effect of the violence
of war upon the character of those
who had once been humane, To be
sure he is speaking of the violence of
a civil war, and undoubtedly he is
idealizing the Roman character.

It was. practice of the Romans to
deify abstract ideas. While the

Roman republic was still young, the
temple of Concord was built in the
Forum to commemorate the
domestic peace and harmony which
had been obtained by a compromise
worked out between the disputing
social classes. -Much later, when
Augustus was emperor, an altar to
Peace, another deified abstractio

was erected in the Campus Martius
(Field of Mars), the very land of
Mars himself, to commemorate the
peace which Augustus had establish-
ed throughout the empire. Though
this peace was secured by Roman
might, there can be no doubt that the
Romans had a full appreciation of
the blessings of peace for all people.
‘One of the panels on the wall enclos-
ing the altar proper shows an
allegory of, these blessings. The
bounties of nature, in terms of
human, animal,and vegetable fertti-
ty, when peace prevails, aredepicted.
‘The central figure in the relief

Mother Earth, holding two human
babies; on one side of her isthe spirit
of air, on the other that of water,

Tibullus, a poet of the Augustan
‘Age, has summed up the feelings of
at least some Romans towards
peace:

May peace meanwhile cultivate
the plowed fields. Beautcous peace
was the first to: bring beneath the
curved yokes oxen to plow (the
land). Peace nourished the vines and
stored juices in the grape clster that
the son might pour forth (to the
gods) from the ancestral libation
bowlan offering of unmixed wine. In
peace the hoe and the plowshare
‘gleam brightly, but in a dark corner
rust creeps over the grim arms of the

rough soldier. Fibutiys 1,10,45-50

| When ‘the “Tell Tale Players”
‘came to town last weekend the
children who waited for them out-

By the time they all got in to see
the four “Far Off Fables” enacted by

Bicycle Thieves Here

Vittorio DeSica, Italy's great
movie director, actor, producer and
writer, who died this past November
in Paris, will be commemorated this.
Wednesday night, March 5 by the
Italian-American Student Alliance
with the presentation of one of his
finest films “Thre Bicycle Thief.”

Set in post-war Rome, “The Bicy-
cle Thiel”, tells the story of a poor
bill-poster who hasoccasion to make

c, His bicycle, the last
valuable thing he owns, has been
stolen, Withaut it he will lose his job
and be deprived of the only way to
support his wife and child.

The police officer is impassive.
“Rome is full of bicycles," he says.
“It would take every man on the
police force to search for a missing
one, This sort of thing is a nuisance,
it happens dozens of times every
day.”

The poor man is dumbfounded.

“Did anyone witness the in-
cident?” the officer wearily inquires,

“People saw it, sure, but nobody
cared.

That one line ontains the bitter es-
sence of the rueful and devastating
theme of this beautifully pure and
tender picture: People see, but
nobody cares.

DeSica’s intent in “The Bicycle
Thief" is to make us care, to view
with concern and compassion one
isolated instance of misfortune in a
troubled world. He wants to leave us

DeSica was lured by an offer from
David O. Selznich to put up the

Four Note

Opera

Rates Five Stars

by ire Shabronsky

Opera has now perhaps gained
some sort of a foothold at SUNYA
with its extremely successful perfor-
‘ances of two comic operas this past
weekend, Hayden's La Cantarina
and Johnson's The Four-Note
Opera, both “opera parodies,” pok-
ing fun at the operatic form.

I found the Hayden piece quite
boring. Aside from the charming
music played beautifully by a
chamber orchestra, complete with
harpsichord, the plot of the opera
was quite poor. The “flow” was very
bumpy, events happening much too
quickly. Marjory Fuller was in very
fine voice, but her stage presence was
fess than I would have liked to have
seen, The cantarina, Anne Turner,
had an equally fine voice, but she
had no real opportunity to show it
off until the end of the piece. Brad
Logan didnot look orsound the part
of a lover. His movements were
much too stiff and uncomfortable-
looking, and he looked much too
young to be the cantarina’s loyer.
‘Abraham Mizrahi as the Maestro-
cum-lover of the cantarina was
superb, His mugging, rantings and
ravings, along with his lovely tenor
Yoice, gave the opera its real comic
glow. The period costumes for the
piece, and the wing-and-drop set,
convention of the period, lent much
to the atmosphere, but not quite
enough to sustain my interest

On the other hand, | thought that
The Four-Note Opera was absolute-
ly delightful. While the voices of the
students were not as strong as those
of the professionals, the students
should be commended for their
talents. This opera was double-cast
(two sets of students performing at

“A COMIC MAS!

different performances), and | saw
both casts perform. Each perfor-
mance had a slightly different flavor,
but on the whole I was very pleased
with this opera. The staging and
costumes were quite simple, but that
was enough the singers took over
from there. This opera made obvious
fun at duels, rivalry between singers,
mad scenes, love duets, and all those
other conventions of opera that we
all know and love.

The voices were exceptionally
good. The Sopranos, Sandra
Neuman and Debra Lipkowitz, had
different feelings for their part, es-

lly evident during the Mad
Neuman was a wild-cyed
Ophelia, tossing flowers this way
and that, while Lipkowitz was more
like a paranoine let out of some
asylum. Very different but both
equally as effective . Different, too,
were their voices, Neuman’s voice is
light and airy, while Lipkowita's is
dusky and lyric, But again the per-
formances were equally fine.

Not so with the Tenor and
Baritone parts, The Tenors, Charles
Varadian and Michael Grill were
both good, but in different ways
Grill has a very nice voice, but he is
not quite an actor. Varadian's voice
was not as good, but his acting was
beautiful his facial expressions were
priceless.

Lee Beberman and Robert
Golian, were very different,
Beberman seemed unsure of himself
‘on stage and his movements were
quite conservative for the part
Golia

had things to do aside from doing

highlights of the opera

Danes Top Patriots; Readying for NCAA’s

by Bruce Maggn
The Albany State Great Dane
basketball team closed out their
fegulat season in unconvincing
form, as they defeated a vastly in-
ferior Stony Brook team, 82-70,
Saturday even
"For the Danes it was their second
poor performance since receiving
their NCAA bid. Like the Marist
game, Albany just could not get
“psyched” for the contest. With a bid
in their pocket plus the fact that
Stony Brook was 2-21, the team was

willing to coast to victory, Eddie
Johnson and Mike Suprunowicz led
the Danes in scoring, each chipping
in twenty points,

The Danes must now be able to
turn it on again as they focus their
attention towards the NCAA‘s. They
need the same enthusiasm that they
had for the Brockport game.

Albany will be leaving for
Brockport Thursday afternoon.
‘They will practice on the Brockport
home court that evening, before tak-
ing on St, Lawrence University, the

lehman

following night in the first round of
the Eastern regional playoffs. Game
time will be 7:00 PM. If Albany is
victorious in their opening round
contest, they will advance to the
championship game Saturday even-
ing.

Tickets for both games are
currently on sale in the main office of
the gym. Later this afternoon the
Athletic Advisory Board will meet to
decide if busses should be chartered.
If busses“are chartered they would

game and retum following each
game. When a decision is reached,
notices will be posted in the campus
center and on all five quads. For
those who cannot attend the games,
WSUA (640) will broadcast both
games live, starting Friday at 6:55

If Albany State is to have any
hopes of advancing in the NCAA
tournament, they are going to have
to prove that they can win on the
road, The Danes are 9-1 at the un-
iversity gym this year, but are play-
ing under ,500 ball on the road (6-7).
In the Danes recent past, Albany
could not win the big road game.
Dane losses this year have come
against Siena (twice), Hartwick,
Oneonta, Hamilton, Fredonia and
Marist, Albany did manage to beat
Buffalo State on the Bengals home
court and the Danes lost to Hartwick
by only one point in overtime,

Judging from the Brockport game,
Albany can take the heat. Their en-
tire season was on the line and the
Danes responded with fury. The
team exhibited great poise, refusing
to fold, even when Albany fell
behind late in the contest.

To be able to win the tournament,
thought, Albany must perform like
they ‘did against Brockport and Buf-
falo State. It is going to take a com-
plete team effort. Much of the
pressure will fall on the Danes’
forwards. Albany's biggest man is
Tom Morphis who goes 6'5". St
Lawrence has two men that have
that height, while Brockport and
RPI have centers who are taller.
Because the Danes have the smallest
team in the tournament, Koola,
Morphis, Audi and Keane will have
to work extremely hard under the
boards, boxing out their opponents.

Senate Debates Limiting Exams To Finals Week

by Pat Sakat

A bill currently betore the Univer~
sity Senate, if passed, would require
that final exams only be given in the
sisteemth week of the semester (finals

Undergraduate Academic Council
came about because a student com-
plained because he had too many
finals in the fifteenth week of classes
(the last week of classes),

The bill notes that final exams
carty substantially more weightthan
other tests, and are comprehensive

Furthermore, the bill states: that

of the course no later than the 1th
week, must not extend beyond class
