State University of New York at Albany

Will Tuition at
SUNY be Raised?

by Terry Wolf

Will tuition be raised at Albany State next year?
This is the question being considered by Chancellor
Boyer and the Board of Trustees of the State
University system.

Although there has been no official decision, the
possibility seems imminent. According to Neil
Brown, Dean of Student Life, there are already
many commitments to expand programs and con-
struction across the state. Money from tuition is put
into the State University Construction Fund. This
fund is desperately short of money even though
expansion is continuing in order to meet increasing
demands and needs.

However, the additional money may not come
from the students as might be expected. While it is
hard to predict the full effect that an increase would
have, the Student Incentive and Regents Scholarship
programs may be able to supply some of the
necessary funds by increasing the maximum allot-
ment for tuition or by simply transferring funds
from the scholarship to the construction fund.
Tuition fees for non-residents and other university
costs will also be carefully considered before a
decision is reached.

Other influential factors are the rising costs of
construction and the study being conducted on the
open enrollment and full opportunity programs.
The university has an obligation and commitment to
keep pace with growing enrollments and expanding
Programs. As Mr. Brown commented, “The univer-
sity can not stay where it is.”

Fortunately, some relief is expected due to the
predicted decrease in college applicants, the growing
independent study programs, community service
projects, the study abroad programs, the availability
of apartments, and extended summer programs.

Robert Acquino, the bursar, indicated that a final
decision will be made soon by the State Legislature
when they vote on the budget for the fiscal year
1971-72. Any increase would be effective through-
out the entire State University system. In the
meantime, university committees are working to
keep costs as stable as possible.

The new semester has begun bringing with it all the fun of new classes, new teachers, new people, and

new book lines.

18 Year Olds Given Vote
Will Cast Ballots in ’72

by Roy Lewis

As a result of a recent Supreme
Court decision, the right of an 18
year old-to vote has become a
partial reality. In a 5-4 decision
handed down on December 21,
1971, the Court upheld a Congres-
sional Act lowering the voting age
to 18 in all federal elections. The
Court was highly divided with
four justices arguing for the 18
year old vote in all elections,
citing the fact that the 18-21 age
bracket is a discriminated class.
Four other justices claimed that
the discrimination issue was not
relevant and that furthermore
Congress had no such power to
lower the voting age, except by
Constitutional Amendment.
Justice Hugo Black cast thedecid-

ing vote in favor of the 18 year
old vote, yet at the same time
restricted it to federal elections
only.

So far 18-21 voter registration
has been slow. On January 20, the
Albany county Board of Elections
reported 105 such registrations.
Providing one claims Albany as
their legal residence, it is possible
to register any day at the Albany
County Court House. Students
living in dormitories are not
Albany residents, and those living
in apartments who wish to claim
Albany as their legal residence
must have their Albany address on
their driver's license. Another in-
teresting aspect of registration was
Pointed out to this reporter by

Action has been taken by the
New York State Legislature to
lower the voting age in state and
local elections. A state-wide ref-
erendum to this effect will be on
the ballot this November. Both
Governor Rockefeller and State
Attorney General Louis
Lefkowitz support the 18 year old
vote.

Joe Galu of the Associated Press.
If a bonafide resident will be 18
before November, 1972, which is
the next scheduled federal ele-
ction, they may register now. This
means that it is possible to have
persons as young as 16 registering
to vote.

Legal Aid
Available

by William Van Allen

Have legal trouble? Your stu-

dent tax pays for legal counsel

available to all SUNYA students
free of charge.

The firm of Rosenblum and
Leventhal located at 732 Madison
‘Ave., Albany was retained by Stu-
dents Association last April, and
can be contacted through the an-
swering service (438-8732) 24
hours a day or through
Crisis(7-5300).

Despite a dearth of publicity the
legal service has handled approxi-
mately 50 inquiries per week.
These involve both criminal and
civil matters and may be off
campus problems.

Students wishing to discuss pro-
blems in person may do so every
other Tuesday night at the Stu-
dent Association office (CC 346)
from 7-9 p.m. without appoint-
ment beginning January 26. Mr.
Rosenblum will be present for
consultation and informal discus-
sion.

Sandy Rosenblum urges stu-
dents to avail themselves of these
legal services where they deem
them appropriate.

Rosenblum has extensive experi-
ence in both civil and criminal
litigation. He is a graduate of
Union College and University of
Buffalo Law School. He is a mem-
ber of the New York and Massa-
chusettes Bar Associations and is
able to appear in all federal courts
including the US Supreme Court.

Rosenblum has represented stu-
dents at their initial court hearings
involving such crimes as _burgula-
ty, drug law violations and armed
robbery. He stated that the bulk
of his cases involve less spectacu-
lar issues that may confront the
law abiding student body at large.

Howard Project
Town Planned

by Stephanie DiKovics

Ebenezer Howard is not a catch-
word designed to make you curi-
‘ous enough to investigate the real
meaning. It is the real name of a
real man who in Britain designed
and built two towns that ap-
proached an Utopian ideal.

In Albany, the Ebenezer Ho-
ward Project encompasses his
theories and their relation to an
integrated (in the sense of being
socially, academically, and envi-
ronmentally balanced) communi-
ty.

The Student Association at Al-
bany has hired two graduates of
Albany State, Doug Goldschmidt
and Stratton Rawson, to shape
and direct the activities necessary
for the success of the Project.
Practically speaking, the initial
goals are to make housing availa-
ble to the increasing number of
students, and possibly to form a
coalition with RPI which would
increase the potential scope of the
Project.

Problems hindering the attempt
to build a successful college-town

...poiskowski

are the lack of abailable funds,
lack of library research facilities,
the Project’s nebulous status in
the eyes of most people, and most
definitely the shortage of person-
nel actually working to achieve
the Project’s goal.

Legislative Hot Line

ALBANY, N.Y. AP — A citi-
zens’ ‘‘hot-line’’ has been
installed inthe Capitol to permit
New Yorkers to inquire about the
status of measures before the
legislature.

A telephone call to the number
1-800-342-9860 will connect with
a secretary who has a computer at
her disposal to track the progress
ofa bill.

It’s an effort, Senate Majority
Leader Earl W. Brydges says, “to
bring the legislative process closer
to the people back home.”

Snack Bar has New Face

by Robert Baldassano

most all the labor except the
installation of the stereo equip-

has a new look and those who
have not seen it would be well
advised to check it out.

The “face lifting” operation was
performed by a group of twelve
students who used the Christmas-
-Intereession break to redecorate
the Snack Bar. Many changes were
made and there are some still
pending. Among the more notice-
able is the removal of the Parti-
tion dividing the Snack Bar and
the Rathskellar, Barnboard, artifi-
cial beams and brick have been
extended along the wall closest to
the food service area.

An AM-FM radio and tape stere-
o system has been installed with
eight speakers. The jukebox has
been removed and free music will
now be available on a continuous

spice table. As soon as they arrive,
crimson burlap drapes will cover
the two walls which have win-
dows.

This project was performed as
the result of a survey taken by the
Campus Center Governing Board
during last November. Surveys
were handed out at dinner lines
on the quads and this resulted in
the redecoration of the snack bar.

The total cost of the project was
$10,000. The money to support
the renovation was provided by
the Student Facilities Fund,
which is derived from alumni con-

tributions. The Campus Center
Governing Board and Gary Jones,
Director of the Campus Center
and of Student Activities, request-
ed the money, and the job began.
The twelve students who did al-

ment, lights, and drapes, were
paid. This direct approach to the
redesign of the snack bar was an
experiment and Gary Jones hopes
that it is only the beginning of
such student participation.

At Issue: Policy

by Bob Kanarek

On January 3, Barnett Fowler, a
columnist for the Times Union,
presented a rather vivid descrip-
tion of the second floor lounge in
Sayles Hall. It had been badly
defaced by students. Fowler also
described the condition of some
student rooms which he felt were
exceptionally dirty. The article
raised certain questions pertaining
to University property.

University policy states that stu-
dents responsible for damage to
the University Residence Halls
will be billed accordingly. Present-
ly, Alice Mandelberg, Residence
Director of Sayles Hall, is inter-
viewing all of the students in the
dorm individually, to determine
who is responsible for the damage.
Several students have admitted to
being guilty.

The foremost quesiton in the
minds of many students is: “How
did an unauthorized person gain
access to student rooms, let alone
lounges and the building itself?”
It is a Residence Office policy
that no one is allowed into stu-
dents’ rooms unless the student is
present. Director of Residence,

Charles Fisher, claimed that the
Residence staff let no one in the
dorms. Thus it appears that either
maintenance or security was at
fault. Exactly who let Fowler into
the dorm without his going
through the proper channels in
uncertain to date.

Buffalo

BUFFALO AP — A judge dis-
missed Tuesday, criminal con-
tempt charges that had been filed
against 45 State University at
Buffalo faculty members for a
campus demonstration.

Still pending against the 45 are
criminal trespass charges. They are
scheduled for jury trial beginning
Feb. 8. The 45 were arrested last
March 15 while staging a sit-in at
the Hayes Hall administration
building after a series of student-
police clashes on campus.

The faculty members were ac-
cused of violating a court order
banning interference with univer-
sity functions, but in dismissing
the charge Judge H. Buswell
Roberts of City Court ruled there
were insufficient facts to justify
the charge.

The Friday Night of Soul

Dorm and Administrators Talk

by Kenneth Deane

A novel approach to student-administrator com-
munication was explored Wednesday evening, by
the residents of Van Cortlandt Hall and three
university administrators, Dr. Clifton Thorne, Vice
President for Student Affairs; Dr. Charles Fisher,
Director of Residence; and Neil Brown, Dean for
Student Life.

The meeting, arranged by the residents of Van
Cortlandt Hall, was designed to give students greater
access and insight to our complex university admin-
istration and its personnel. It also gave students an
opportunity to air their views and receive immediate
responses to many of their questions, In the casual
and intimate atmosphere of the residence lounge,
the three administrators spoke of their personal
backgrounds and the scope of their administrative

duties. Following short introductions the floor was
opened for questions,

Perhaps the most demanding question put to the
three men was that of residence security and the *
related incident of the improper entrance into
closed dormitories during the recent intercession by
the Times Union columnist Barnett Fowler. All
three men recognized the degree of the problem,
which is being met by an increased security force

and changes in residence lock configurations. How-
ever, the consensus of opinion was that any compre-
hensive plans for security would be hampered by a
lack of funds.

With regards to the problem of unauthorized
individuals entering closed residence halls, the three
administrators reiterated the university’s policy of
attempting to maintain the student’s privacy as far
as possible. They also stated that those university
personnel found permitting unauthorized indivi-
duals entrance into closed dormitories would be
severely reprimanded.

Another question which received thorough dis-
cussion was the financial state of the university
system, Dr. Thorne commenting on this question
explained that the state university system is in
direct financial straits, necessitating a cutback in
personnel and university services. He also admitted

* that as a result of the state’s monetary difficulties a

rise in tuition is likely.

Similar discussions as the one held in Van Cort-
landt Hall can be conducted in the other residence
halls. Those halls which are interested in such
meetings should directly contact Dr. Thorne, Dr,
Fisher and Mr. Brown.

Brooks’ Twelve Chairs -
A Wooden Tour De Farce

by Tom Quigley

Mel Brooks’ THE TWELVE
CHAIRS is one of those films in
which the principle characters
spend more than an hour and a
half of celluloid collecting a
specific number of objects. The
audience diligently plays the game
by keeping count in order to see if
the exact number of objects being
sought is finally collected.

By the end of this movie, a
friend and I counted about twen-
ty-five chairs, two inadequate per-
formances, two inspired perfor-
mances, numerous witty passages,
almost as many boring moments,
and one very:confused and poorly
executed satire entitled THE
TWELVE CHAIRS.

Mr. Brooks is the eminently
talented satirist and comic who
gave us last year’s insanely hilari-
ous film THE PRODUCERS.
Brooks devotees and some short
sighted critics have been scandal-
ously overpraising this latest
effort as a comic masterpiece. It is
certainly less original than his last
film and not nearly as funny as
some of the publicity that it has

been receiving.

Brooks usually begins with a
paper thin premise and then ex-
pects the audience to suspend its
sense of credibility in order to
appreciate his insane perception
and caustic lampoon that floods
the screen. This kind of wild
nonsense, complete with the mad-
capped performances of Zero
Mostel and Gene Wilder, is pre-
cisely what made THE PRO-
DUCERS such an absurd and bril-
liant film.

In this case the miniscule pre-
mise concerns three greedy com-
rades in post-revolutionary Russia
who are tracking down twelve
dining room chairs, one of which
is stuffed with diamonds. Within
this pithy plot Brooks rips off
numerous tragicomic comments
about the nature of human ava-
rice, pride, and poverty.

This newest effort is plagued by
miscasting, the poor use of actors,
and an unexplained plot complica-
tion that is rather annoying. Ron
Moody and Frank Langella (the
old and new with apologies to
Eisenstein) seem to be chasing the
correct set of furniture. Dom

DeLuise, the mad priest, somenow
finds about thirteen different
chairs and the confusion is enough
to drive any audience mad. Where
these other chairs came from is
never explained!

Moody and Langella are almost
totally humorless in the lead roles
which is a certain disaster con-
sidering that this is supposed to be
a comedy. Moody underplays
the desperate ex-aristocrat but
seems to lack the necessary gusto
in his frantic comic scenes. Lan-
gella, last seen in DIARY OF A
MAD HOUSEWIFE, seems to be
getting typecast as a mean
mouthed bastard. He is sorely out
of place as the bitter, opportunis-
tic youth.

The inspired madness lacking in
the lead roles is supplied by the
supporting characters portrayed
by DeLuise and Brooks himself.
DeLuise, a greatly underrated
actor, is an absolute panic as the
wildly greedy priest. Not only has
he broken his vow of poverty but
used the knowledge of the old
woman’s deathbed confession to
persue the worldly loot. Brooks,
seen briefly as the drunken Tikon,
should have written a larger role
for himself. He is marvelous as the
cow-towing peasant who wishes
his ex-master would beat him.

Unforutnately, Brooks, a master
of the one-liner, is not a master of
cinematic technique. Except for a
few beautifully photographed se-
quences, the film shows no par-
ticular inspiration in editing or
visual composition, When the
dialogue is no longer pungent peo-
ple start chasing each other
around pastoral landscapes. The
continuity is such that characters
seem to run across each other
accidentally rather than pur-
Posely. All other technical credits
are professional.

THE TWELVE CHAIRS is a
sincere but deficient satire about
human nature, Hopefully Brooks
will, in the future, choose his casts
with more insane discression and
write a thoroughly lunatic plot
that will make audiences gasp for
air. If anyone can give the abused
comic genre a needed life it will
be the two thousand year old
madman Mel Brooks.

“from without
For the Poor Only? G
by Louise Cook fave on eee Reiter

Associated Press Writer

“If a student is paying over
$2,000 a year in tuition and can-
not afford food, then food stamps
seem to me to be a logical way
for a student to live.” That com-
ment from Skip Burgess, a student
at Elmira College in upstate New
York, reflects the feelings of a
growing number of college stu-
dents who have turned to the
federal food stamp program to

The program, designed to help
the poor, allows qualified recipi-
ents to purchase a specified
amount of stamps redeemable for
a greater dollar value at partici-
pating grocery stores. Some stu-
dents, living off-campus and away
from their families, have applied
for and received food stamps,
drawing the criticism of several
welfare officials.

“A lot of us think that students
shouldn't be eligible,” said Ethel

als
The aftermath of illegally parked cars-tickets and their appeals-is
one of the responsibilities of the Parking Appeals Committee.

Committee Aids
Parking Problems

The University Parking Appeals
Committee, which has been in
operation since May 1969, grants
special parking permits and re-
views and adjudicates appeals on
violations of parking regulations.

The Committee is composed of
a group of nine persons, three
faculty members, three staff mem-
bers and three students. The chair-
man is Robert Whittam of the
Plant Department. As of this Sep-
tember the Committee had heard
over 1,000 appeals and ruled on
193 special parking permits.

The Committee meets once a
week to hear appeals, either by
personal appearance or in written
forms. Applications for appeals
can be obtained from the Security
Office, the Student Association
Office (CC 346), and at the Infor-
mation Desk on the first floor of
the Administration building. The
appeals should be forwarded to
the Security Office. If a personal
appeal is desired, the applicant
should place his signature at the
bottom of the appeal.

Stevenson of the Mercer County,
N.J., welfare department. “If they
can go to college, they can get the
money.” An Associated Press sur-
vey showed student use of the
food stamps in many states, in-
cluding New York, New Jersey,
California, Pennsylvania, Michi-
gan, Texas, South Carolina, New
Mexico, Rhode Island, Wyoming
and Oregon. Students generally
made up only a small percentage
of the total food stamp recipients
and usually received less than the
maximum allotment. The maxi-
mum allowable earnings and the
amount and value of stamps re-
cipients can purchase varies from
state to state.

In Multnomah County, home of
95 per cent of Oregon’s food
recepients, only one per cent of
the households getting food
stamps are student groups, wel-
fare officials said.

James C, Greer dr., director of
the Albany County, Wyo., welfare
program, said about 100 Univer-
sity of Wyoming students pur-
chase food stamps each month.
He said student qualification for
the program was determined on
the same basis as for other low
income citizens.

Greer said that when several
students are living together the
total income is taken into con-
sideration and one student is
designated “head of household”
and is the only one allowed to
purchase the stamps. Maximum
allowable earnings range from
$145 per month for one person to
$595 for 10 persons.

Texas welfare officials said food
stamps are distributed to students
in Houston, San Antonio, Fort
Worth and Alpine, but said they
did not have any specific figures,

The officials said there was no
ban on college students getting
the stamps. They said that when
students apply for food stamps
the welfate department contacts
the college loan officer or the
youths’ parents to see if the extra
support is really necessary.

Maximum net monthly incomes
allowable in Texas are $170 for a
family of two, $190 for a family
of three and $200 for a family of
four.

Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird has termed the expansion of
aerial attacks on Cambodia “crucial to the success’ of the
American troop withdrawal timetable from South Vietnam.
Laird’s rationale for the increased use of air power was the Nixon
Doctrine of 1969 which promises military aid other than troops
for our Asain allies.

Britain and her Commonwealth nations worked out a temporary
agreement which called for a study group “to consider the
question” of supplying arms to South Africa. Many African
member nations threatened to leave the Commonwealth because
Britain had considered supplying the apartheid South African
nation with arms. Britain, however, is still left free to sell the
military hardware, but she will probably wait till the group’s
report is completed.

National News

(AP) - Senator Robert C. Byrd (Democrat-West Virginia)
defeated Senator Edward Kennedy for the position of Senate
Majority Whip, which is the second highest post in the Senate.
Byrd, who had been seeking the post for several years, beat the
incumbent, 31-24, in what is acknowledged as an upset.

Sen. Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania retained the Senate Republican
leadership today, defeating 24 to 20 a move to unseat him by
Sen. Howard H. Baker Jr. of Tennessee.

The House seniority system, after many years of withstanding
reform, has finally succumbed to change. Both Republicans and
Democrats agreed to give their respective party caucouses the
power of approval or rejection of committee chairmen. Under the
old system, a Representative automatically assumed a chair-
manship when he had the most seniority on that committee, and
of course, if his party was in control of the House.

Under Nixon’s new revenue sharing plan, local governments
would get a greater share of the tax dollar than they would have
received under the old proposal. The new plan would allocate the
money flowing from the federal government on a 50-50 basis
between the states and local governments (cities and towns)

State News

Mayor Lindsay announced that he had no other choice but to
“invoke mandatory penalties” against any and all policeman who
had been involved in the wildcat walkout. Edward J. Kiernan, the
head of the P.B.A., however said ther would be “no docking of
pay.”

Governor Rockefeller is planning to propose a $4 billion bond
issue to the public for referendum in November. The record will
have to add some less controversial requests to the bond package
so that the voters will not so easily reject the bond issue, as they
have done consistently in the past.

According to the final 1970 census figures, New York State has
a population of nearly 18.2 million people, which is an 8.4%
increase over the past ten year period. Of the six largest cities in
the state, however, only New York and Yonkers gained in
population. Albany, the state’s sixth largest city, lost approxi-
mately 15,000 people since the last census.

Black Boycott of Union Message

WASHINGTON AP - The 12 black members of the House of
Representatives announced Thursday they plan to boycott President
Nixon’s State of the Union address Friday night.

“Your consistent refusal to hear the pleas and concerns of black
Americans dictates our decision to be absent,” they said in a letter.
“Basic needs and obligations to our nation and our constituents have
been ignored by this administration.”

“WITH MAX SHULMAN

(By the author of Rally Rownd the Fag, Boye.» Dobie Gils...)
Nice Guys Finish
pala el LLL

Who makes a better teacher—a strict authoritarian type person
or a relaxed permissive type person? In faculty lounges across the
country this vexing question is causing much earnest discussion and
not a few stabbings. Today, to help you find an answer, let me tell you
about the Sigafoos brothers.

The Sigafoos brothers were both professors at a famous Eastern
university (Colorado School of Mines). Worsham, the elder brother,
taught mica and feldspar. Hymie, the younger, taught shafting and
shoring. Worsham was a strict authoritarian who believed the best way
to teach was to stay aloof from his students, to be distant and forbid-
ding. In Worsham’s classes only he talked, nobody else. In fact, not
only didn’t he let his students talk to him, he didn’t even let them look
at him. For years the kids had to fall full length on their bellies every
time Worsham entered the classroom and stay that way until he left.
The college finally forced him to stop last spring after a sophomore
coed named Ethel R. Beinecke died from an overdose of floor wax.
After that Worsham just had the kids drop to one knee.

(Incidentally, speaking of dropping to one knee, it’s a very ironic
little story, the story of how this custom began. As you know of course,
it started in Bavaria during the reign of Ludwig the Gimp (1608-1899)
who, as you know of course, had one leg shorter than the other. To
keep the king from feeling self-conscious, his subjects would always
drop to one knee whenever he came gimping by. Indeed, they did such
a convincing job that Ludwig lived all his life believing everybody had
one short leg.

(Now here comes the ironic part: after his death it was discovered
that Ludwig never had a short leg after all! Do you know what he had?
He had his pants buttoned to his vest!)

But I digress. Worsham Sigafoos, I say, stayed aloof from his stu-
dents. So what happened? The students grew steadily more cowed and
sullen, trauma and twitching set in, night sweats followed, and when it
came time for finals, every man jack of them flunked.

Now let us take Worsham’s younger brother Hymie. Breezy,
bearded, twinkly, outgoing, dressed always in homespun robes and a
Navajo puberty pouch, Hymie was totally unlike his brother (except,
of course, that each had one short leg). Hymie believed the way to
teach was to be a pal to the students, not a despot. He let the kids
come to class or not, whichever they liked. Classroom discussions were
free and unstructured. Anyone who had anything to say simply spoke
up. Sometimes the class discussed classwork, but more often they just
sat and gassed about life in general or maybe played a little Show and
Tell. (This was especially popular in spring when everybody brought
their Raster chicks to class.)

‘Well sir, you guessed it. Hymie’s class, loved and fulfilled though
they were, flunked just like Worsham’s, every man jack.

You're frowning, I see. If authority is wrong, you ask, and if
friendliness is wrong too, what then is right? Well sir, how about some-
thing right in between? How about striking a perfect balance—just as,
for example, Miller High Life Beer has done?

Take a sip of Miller and you'll see what I mean. Does it have
authority? You bet it does! It’s brisk, it’s bracing, it’s ardent, it’s sub-
stantial, it’s forceful. If that’s not authority, then I need a new the-
saurus.

Take another sip. Now do you see that along with its authority,
Miller is at the same time a wonderfully friendly beer—affable and
benign and docile and dulcet?

Of course you see that. And that’s exactly what I mean by strik-
ing a perfect balance—stalwart yet satiny, lusty yet lambent, strap-
ping yet soothing, brawny yet breezy, manly yet mellow, spirited yet
supple. Well sir, all I can say is, you find a teacher who combines all
of these qualities and, by George, I’ll drink him!

We, the brewers of Miller High Life Beer, bring you Max Shulman’s
lusty yet lambent column every week through the school year—often ner-
vously. And every day—always with serene confidence—we bring you
Miller High Life, the Champagne of Beers, in cans, bottles and kegs—

Danes Runnerup In Xmas Tourney
Take Third In Pocono Classic

by Bob Zaremba

The Albany State Varsity bas-
ketball team has come on very
strong over the Christmas recess.
Going into tomorrow's game
against Marist , the squad carries a
7-4 record.

With two very impressive wins
during exam week against
Plattsburgh (84-65) and
Binghampton (82-52), the Danes
evened their record at 2-2, and
gave themselves some momentum
in readying for the traditional
Christmas Tournament held here.
On the first night of the tourna-
ment, Albany edged the Engineers
of RPI, 72-64. John Quattrochi
was the clutch man for State in
that one, as he made good on
three 1 and 1 situations in the last
minute and a half of play. The
victory earned State the right to
face Union College and their 5’7”
boy wonder, Jim Tedisco, in the
championship game.

State led most of the first half in
the championship game, but early
in the second half Union edged on
top and they never gave the lead
up. A final come from behind
effort by Albany fell four points
short and the Danes bowed,
71-67. That ended Albany’s string
of three straight Christmas Tour-

nament titles and eight consecu-
tive tourney game victories, dating
back to 1966.

Coach Doc Sauers and his men
then had a week to prepare for
the Pocono Classic Basketball
Toumament at East Stroudsburg,
Pa. Eight teams were to compete
in the tournament, which is spon-
sored by East Stroudsburg State
College and the Pocono
Mountains Vacation Bureau. It
was the first time the Great Danes
had entered the seven year old
classic, and there was some specu-
lation that they were reaching a
bit over their heads, for the com-
petition here was quite a bit
tougher than that which the
Danes have come to face. The
boys from SUNYA quickly dis-
credited all this, and turned a lot
of heads with a very impressive
third place finish.

‘The first night saw the Danes
pitted against St. Francis College
(NY), a University Division team.
Doe made two big moves in pre-
paring for the game. He employed
a zone defense-rather than a man
to man against the much taller St.
Francis squad and started Werner
Kolln over Steve Sheehan at cen-
ter, “Werner gives us more size
which we will need down there,”
Doc explained. ‘Steve has been

Frosh Bow, 99-86

by Robert Mirett

This year’s freshman basketball
team, led by Coach Bob Lewis,
finds five of eleven members with-
out high school experience. Thus,
while the ‘team. has good talent,
they are short on experience. The
team’s strength appears to be
shooting and rebounding, while
ball handling and defense and the
lack of quick guards are weak-
nesses, As Coach Lewis notes, “In
order for this team to succeed,
better defense is needed.”

This past Wednesday, the Pups
opposed Colgate and quickly fell
behind by 22 points in the first
half as a result of their inability to
handle the Colgate press. They did
eventually close the gap to eleven
Points with 10 minutes remaining
in the game but could get no
closer and fell victims by the score
of 99-86. It is possible to attribute
the defeat to our newly instituted
academic schedule. There had

been a 5 week layoff for the
Frosh from December 8 to
January 13, and the ballplayers
have not yet regained their stride
for the second semester. The ef-
fects of the layoff are easily seen
in the two games they have played
this semester. Thus far, Harry
Johnson has been the big surprise
for State. With no high school
experience he is the team’s leading
scorer and rebounder. Troy
Moss, one of the co-captains, has
also been performing quite stead-
ily. The rest of the freshman
basketball roster includes: Osie
Bell, Felton Hysche, Brian Pierce,
Reggie Smith, Harold Nelson,
John O’Brycki, Dave Purcell,
Harold France, and Willie Grahm.

Coach Lewis hopes and right-
fully expects this season to be a
successful one for, the Dane Pups.
Wednesday’s loss left-them with a
2-3 mark. They'll try to even that
when they go against Marist Col-
lege at home Saturday night. The
game starts at 6:30.

getting into foul trouble early and
may be more effective coming off
the bench.” The Danes played

their own tough, steady game, and
upset St. Francis, 65-56. Jim
Masterson had his season’s high of
20 points for State,16 of them in
the second half.

The following night Albany
took the floor against the tourney
favorite and ultimate champion,
Buffalo State College, the top
ranked College Division Team in
New York State, and fourth
ranked in the nation. Doc’s boys
staged possibly their best game of
the season, playing even with the
Bengals all the way and leading by
small margins. Albany was up by
2 with 4 minutes left but finally
succumbed to the tremendously
powerful Buffalo squad. Their
60-53 setback was probably one
of the most impressive losing ef-
forts the Danes have ever turned
in.

In the Consolation game,
Albany upset Scranton College,
62-59, in a game that was not
really as close as the score sug-

Was Professor X fired because he was incompetent or because he
differed politically with senior faculty members?

Tenure:
Academic Freedom

by Robert A. Donovan
Professor of English

Vicki Zeldin’s “Tenure: Who Does It Protect?” (ASP, Dec. 4) invites
a rejoinder. MIss Zeldin’s main point is that academic tenure can
become a refuge for the incompetent. There is some force to this
argument, for tenure means, in effect, that a teacher's professional
competence may no longer be called in question, and a tenured
Professor cannot be dismissed simply because he is not a good teacher,
though of course he may still be dismissed for such peccadilloes as
rape in broad daylight (before witnesses). One would think, obviously,
that the logic of this arrangement is perverse, to say the least, for it
seems to make no sense at all that a professor can be fired only for
causes which have nothing to do with his ability as a teacher or a
scholar.

The question should be not simply who is protected by tenure, but
also whom is he protected from? There was a time, not long ago,
when the chief threat to the non-tenured professor was the legislator
or other public official, but universities now seem to have more
autonomy, or at any rate to evince an admirable willingness to close
ranks against outside interference with their affairs, and, for the
moment, . at least, a Reagan or a Kelleher is only a paper tiger. The
real danger to the non-tenured professor lies within the institution
itself, in the hands of those who are the judges of his professional
ability: administrators, senior colleagues, and students, who rate him
either explicitly in questionnaires or implicitly in their decisions to
take, or not to take, his courses.

The unfortunate truth of the matter is that nothing is easier than to
disguise personal or political animus as a disinterested criticism of
another’s professional competence. Administrators who doubt a
professor’s loyalty to the institution may discover his incapacity for
professional growth; professors who disapprove of a colleague’s
lifestyle may find that his scholarship is not sound; and students who
dislike his political views may be virtually unanimous about his poor
teaching.

Now a professor who must guard his tongue in the presence of
administrative officers of the university, or who must dress and think
like his colleagues, or assiduously cultivate his popularity among
students is not, in the most important sense, free. Of course I am
exaggerating the danger, for most people can and do keep their
Personal likes and dislikes out of their professional judgments of
others, but though it can easily be exaggerated, the danger is not less
real. As long as the danger exists at all it is necessary to find some
Procedure to enable professors to speak their minds freely, without
putting their jobs on the line. This is what academic freedom, the
most cherished privilege of the university professor, means, and
tenure, with all its disadvantages, is the most practicable method of
securing it.

Miss Zeldin concedes that tenures does ‘allow academic
freedom without fear,” but the point is too casually made, and the
whole force of the concession is destroyed a moment later when she
goes on to assert (quite wrongly, in my opinion) that “there would be
no fear if the teacher were rated by his teaching associates and his
students.” I would like to ask whether young faculty members (and
some not-s0-young ones) now facing the ordeal of tenure decision can
really do so “without fear.” To abolish tenure itself would merely
ensure that teachers would never be free from that particular fear.

A matter of national securities or Civil liberties?

«Schnitzer

Liberty vs Security

by Mitchell Frost

“When a Senate: subcommittee opens hearings next month into
alleged Army snoopings on civilians, it will have a tough time figuring
out where to lay the blame,” said the New York Post (Jan. 5, 1970).
The above statement should be of great interest to all Americans
concerned with the protection of our civil liberties. I certainly hope,
therefore, that subcommittee comes up with some answers.

Certainly the government has the right to keep files on known
criminals and criminal organizations. This is an important and very
valuable tool which the F.B.I. can effectively use when tracking down
suspects. One certainly doesn’t want to hamper law enforcement
officials from carrying out their duties the hopeful result of which will
be a safer and freer America. More importantly, though, the public
must be informed of the existence of such files and must be made
aware that those files are used only to solve crimes and in no way
infringe upon the right of privacy that the individual holds most
sacred,

Now we hear of files quite different from those compiled by Efrem
Zimbalist, Jr. on Sunday nights. The files are, admits Secretary Laird,
kept by the Department of Defense although he personally feels that
such information should be compiled and kept by the Justice
Department. These are “secret” files which no one knew about until
recently and, it seems, which date all the way back to 1967.

If this is true it means that the Pentagon, never a popular place with
the Woodstock crowd, has for several years now been “‘snooping” on
civilians participating in peace demonstrations and Black Power
extremist groups like the Panthers.

The Panthers, an avowed militant, racist, separatist organization
responsible for many bombings and many deaths not to mention the
intense climate of violence and fear prevailing over the nation, are
certainly deserving of the honor for the sake of national security.
Those members of peace organizations who have taken to using violence
as a means of expressing their discontent with the war, the pentagon,
the police, the universities, motherhood, apple pie, etc., etc., must
also expect a worried government to keep an eye on them.

What worries me about these files is that they are being compiled by
the Defense Department, If anyone poses a threat to our national
security, let his file be kept by the F.B.I. not the Defense Depariment.

They appear to be going beyond the mere scope of national security
and entering into the realm of Big Brother. Such a course is very easy
to follow and is very dangerous. I’m not suggesting that we're at that
stage yet, but if files on certain individuals and organizations are
needed for reasons of national security, let them be kept for those
reasons and those reasons only.

The public, however, had been kept in the dark about their
existence, implying that the scope of the operations is more
widespread than would be tolerated by an enlightened public. This
congers up dim reminders of Adolf Hitler and is certainly not to be
tolerated in a free society.

Perhaps the files are not all that widespread, though; perhaps it’s
really a small time operation bungled by an awkward bureaucracy—a
dim prophecy of what is to come if we allow the government to grow
any larger than it already is. Let’s pray for the best and hope that the
Senate subcommittee investigating the investigators will shed some
light on the whole subject. In the meantime, be sure to sleep with one
eye open for you never know; your own roommate may really be ...

Editorial

Comment

FSA

The FSA is not loved on this campus.

Isn’t it about time, though, that people, especially the Central
Council and LAAC, learned to look beyond sensational issues and
accusations to the real problems, and began making constructive
Suggestions?

The next year will be an opportune time for changes in the FSA
hierarchy, and it will do no one any good to castigate the many
decent, hard-working FSA employees simply for vindictive rea-
sons.

FSA can and must be reformed—but let’s get at the real causes
of the stagnation— not their apologists.

Sensational Spec

By now everyone has heard about Barnett “Spec” Fowler and
the great Sayles Hall Expose. Fowler and his grandstanding have
served (as usual) to blow a small incident all out of proportion, In
this particular case, it’s the defacing of a student lounge by
(supposedly) the inhabitants of that dorm.

There’s a set procedure, in effect for years, whereby the
residents of the dorm will split the repainting costs. Spec’s big
publicity campaign hasn’t caused any harsh crackdown or awful
punishment, and aren’t likely to. It does, though, add fuel to
anti-student feeling in the community. This doesn’t help anyone,
but it does sell newspapers.

I don’t like defacing buildings. Neither do I like defacing
people— but Spec obviously has no objection to such an act. 1
wonder, incidentally, how Spec gained access to a locked

dormitory. Defacing state Property is quite against the law, Mr.
Fowler, but then so is criminal trespass!

Speak!

Mandatory student tax supports this paper, and since everybody
pays the tax, everyone should be aware of our editorial policy.
Since we are funded only by students, we are responsible only to
students. All our writing is done by students. Our technical staff
are students, and even our secretary is a student.

No one censors any ASP article; our only limit is space.

In short, students, members of the Student Association, are
everything, and without them there could be no ASP. If you think
you can ‘help, in any way, from writing to tech work, come on up
and make yourself known, It’s your paper, and only what you
make it.

The Right to Communicate is no privilege; you have a right to
exercise it, and this newspaper is your medium for doing so.

To the Editor:

While some members of the
university cry to destroy the de-
structive and exploitive American
capitalist system, one of the most
insidious examples of this system
controls this campus. The Faculty
Student Association has this uni-
versity in a death grip.

This association controls the en-
tire economic system of this uni-
versity. It has a monopoly on
everything from cashing checks to
feeding students. One cannot es-
cape dealing with this highly ex-
ploitive organization. It has a
great deal of power.

One example of the economic
slavery perpetrated by this organ-
ization can be seen in the Colonial
Quad kitchen. As a dish line work-
er in this cafeteria, I worked for a
boss who exercises authoritarian
control over his workers. He
forces them to work in an area
with potentially dangerous and
inadequate machines for incred-
ibly low wages. This man gave the
student workers a general raise
coupled with a new deduction for
meals. This deduction virtually
eliminated the raise. Mr Carrow is
only concerned with making a pro-
fit in his kitchen. The welfare of
the students who work for him or
those who eat in the cafeteria
does not concern him. The Colon-
ial Quad kitchen does not serve
the university; it merely serves to
make a profit for those in the
hierarchy of the Faculty Student
Association.

Getting Up Steam

Sir:

You students are told you will
have the country to run. I think it is
time to start. If protesters got
everything they want, the smog
would kill them all so they have
gained nothing.

We are told the factories are
causing the smog.

In 1940 we used coal for fuel,
almost every home in Denver, also
the railroads and all the factories.

We all know it is the gas operat-
ed combusion engines,

Burying autos doesn’t help—that
just puts money in the manufact-
urers’ pockets. It is time all the
colleges in the nation unite and
demand the U.S. House and Sen-
ate stop all combustion engines
and auto imports coming at once.
Give the auto manufacturers six
months to tool up and produce a

steam auto. This would put a lot
of people out of work. That is
why we don’t hear much about
the main polluter, “the auto.”
Don’t you think it is better to be
out of work than be dead from
poison that we are breathing?
Take action now—before it’s later
than we think!

Act with all the determination
that can be rendered. Have each
student in every college through-
out the nation send letters to their
parents urging them to write their
lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
telling them to act now and that
we want no extensions or delays
in regards to the main air polluter,
the combustion engine.

The steam car will act and look
finer than any car we ever exper-
ienced yet. After this is accomp-
lished, this air poisoner will still
be with us ten to fifteen years.

The citizens of this nation as
well as all students had better act
and now. We heard a statement on
television a short time ago that
the gas car will be with us the rest
of time. Let’s make this forcast
false.

Money making must not come
ahead of our health any longer.

To the Editor:

ASP-isn’t that a misspelling?
With all the shit that gets thrown
around this campus, it isn’t sur-
prising that you students don’t
know what the hell’s going on in
this country. The blatant fool
who wrote your article on the
Kent murders was typical of the
best the New York Daily News
could produce. Don’t you people
verify the dribble you print?

I lived in Kent for a year and a
half, up until last fall. 1 really
didn’t need the Pig President’s
Commission report or the FBI to
tell me that the Guard murdered
four of our sisters and brothers.
These points are obvious, but the
media missed a few things. The
governor of Ohio had all phone
lines cut in the vicinity of Kent.
The first reports of the skirmish
arrived at New York’s Pacifica
underground radio station WBAI
after their local contacts drove for
hours to get to a phone that
worked. The rest of the media
picked up the story and proceed-
ed to distort, as usual. The great
Amerikan sniper myth appeared,
as it had at Jackson State.

We knew some of the guys in
the Ohio Guard. A great number
of the draft dodgers, right-on; but
they knew that if they didn’t live
up to the Guard’s “kill-Commie-

hippie” training, they’d be ship-
ped to the front lines of Nam on
the next plane. They were tired,
having recently been used to
break a state-wide Truck driver’s
strike, and one of the lifer types
tried to “‘scare’’ the demonstrators
with one of his own hand guns.
The rest of the Guardsmen follow-
ed his lead, and the officer waited
a hell of a long time to give a
cease-fire order.

This wasn’t an isolated case—a
brother was killed in Lawrence,
Kansas and two in Boston during
the summer. We’re finally learning
to protect ourselves against these
puppets of the corporations.
From now on it won’t be so easy
for them to gun us down.

An Open Letter

The trials of Jews in the Soviet
Union, conducted under the pre-
text of their Zionist and an\
Soviet activities, and the long
term sentences, including slow
death through starvation, meted
out, are symbolic of the wave of
terror and anti-Semitism now at
large throughout the Communist
world. Jews are again held hostage
by a totalitarian power, and per-
secuted and tortured as enemies
of the country, while the world
watches silently. But unlike 30
years ago when similar actions
presaged the beginning of a mass
Jewish extermination, the world
now can no longer claim that it
had no knowledge of these crimes.

Since it is generally felt that
these persecutions would not be
taking place today were the public
opinion climate not thought to be
receptive to the idea of a new
Jewish blood bath, it is important
that those who want to prevent it
speak out NOW.

A small group of survivors of the
Nazi death camps, Auschwitz and
Buchenwald, is taking this step to
ask the intellectuals, leaders and
writers, the professors, the stu-
dents and the media, all those
who on so many occasions pro-
tested the oppression of different
peoples, to break their silence
now.

We, who escaped the Nazi gas
chambers where millions of de-
fenseless and innocent died, urge
you to protest the revivial of this
medieval form of witch hunt for
the sake of political expediency,

BUSSING IF YOU PEOPLE

AMERICA 1970

by Barry Kirshner

“Perhaps you feel too much, and that is your crime,” said Jacques
Brel.

And isn’t feeling too much the crime of the insane (or those locked
up), the idealists who are continually frustrated, and the cynics,
frustrated so often that they are now insensitive to even frustration?
Totalitarianism has come, 13 years ahead of schedule, but with the
same dehumanizing effect Orwell envisioned. The language of the
nation is double-think, and nothing is what it seems to be. It is a time
when there is not only a conspiracy to paint the world black, but the
conspirators are claiming that when the job is done, the world will be
white.

For example, consider the following:

What is violence? It is burning an R.O.T.C. building. It is not
allowing an administration spokesman to speak on campus. It is
planting a home-made bomb in a research center for the United States
Defense Department.

What is not violence? Burning a yellow skinned baby and its family,
and allowing rats to bite black skinned babies, is not violence, A
factory-made bomb dropped from a $40 million plane on a straw hut
is not violence. The indiscriminate beating of demonstrators,
passers-by, and reporters by “proper” legal authorities in a public park
is not violence.

What is honor? Destroying an enemy on the field of battle is
honorable. Invading another country (as in a secret-agent movie) and
failing, is honorable if the President says so.

What is not honor? Going to prison for refusing to teach bacterial
warfare to green beret soldiers is dishonorable. Taking pictures of
policeman brutally beating a fellow newspaper photographer is
dishonorable.

What is obscene? A sensual movie is obscene. A Black Panther
coloring book is obscene. Abbie Hoffman’s use of the American flag is
obscene.

What is not obscene? A government ordered fragmentation bomb
dropped in another land with a purpose of severely lacerating human
skin is not obscene. Police executing black militants is not obscene.
Spiro Agnew’s use of the American flag is not obscene.

As in most fields at this time, in teaching, to do well bears little or
no relationship to doing good. In the process of surviving in the
teaching field, you may be causing others in the learning field not to
survive. Whereas at one time those who could not fit in to a sane
world were judged to be crazy, today those who do not fit in to an
insane society are considered deviant. Needless to say, fitting in no
longer carries a sane connotation.

Schools exist to promote society’s needs, but what if the need of
society is revolutionary change? Will the entrenched powers support
an institution seeking to limit the powers they now enjoy? Possibly, I
have underestimated the educational function of today’s schools, but
since education demands cognitive freedom, it is incompatible with
today’s totalitarian society.

Is it possible, then, to compromise one’s interpretations of history in
order to gain an acceptable status in school? The answer is obviously
yes, but is then one a real educator, indeed is he even using the
education he has acquired? Curiously enough, the first people who ask
you to compromise your mind and its life style are the first people to
call pornography (referring to today’s common sexual meaning of the
word) obscene. Obviously, while the body is sacred, the mind is not.

Death At Any Age x
‘And what function does the school actually perform? Nothing short
of murder! Of course it is a bloodless, subtle murder, and death may

come slowly, but it is murder, nonetheless. Of course the murderers
cannot be formally prosecuted as Captain Medina or Lieutenant
Calley, for it is a legal murder, institutionalized, dehumanized, and
even popular among those in power. Will it ever come to trial? Not by
this generation, probably not by next and certainly not until a
humanization occurs,

What might be the motivation for this murder? More than
anything else it is the longing for a dehumanized system which can
perpetuate itself. Wherever we exist in the bureaucratic system, we
must be measured and evaluated so that we can fit into our next
category, whether that be called college, graduate school, labor, or
management. Doing a good job in anything is unimportant unless it
can help you get recognition for a job well done.

The murder weapon, of course, is rules and the enforcement of
those rules, Unlike the supposed origins of society’s rules, school laws
are neither created by or necessarily endorsed by the students, whom
the sanctions are aimed at. (The students do not get any sort of trial
by peers either). The rules enforce respect for those who do not
deserve it. Yet if you deserve respect, you would need no law to
obtain it. Rules, therefore, tell students to accept punishment for
acting sanely in an insane situation.

‘The victims are thus dehumanized. Individuals able to follow orders,
write their names in the proper spaces, and possibly read a text book
are praised. Naturally, these products can still do things like write
poems, but all of their poems start with either “whereas” or “be it
resolved.” In other words, the products of the educational system can
fit in because their human impulses are submerged, permitting
membership in an insane society. They might not feel pain throughout
their lives, but it is almost certain that they will feel no love either.

How might education or society as a whole be humanized? This
cannot be achieved by adopting a totalitarian society by working for a
change within a power structure. The leaders of a totalitarian state
laugh at the concept of reform from within, or petitioning for one’s
rights. We cannot ask to be given victories, for anything given and not
taken is no victory at all.

For those wishing to change American culture from one of death
to one of life, no viable alternative to the creation of an educational
base able to resist American totalitarianism and though control, exists.
Even if one is willing to swallow his ethics, he should realize that the
technological Monster is not vulnerable to armed force.

The possibility of subverting the Monster from within,
non-existent, What will probably happen is that. we would be eaten in
the process, further nourishing the technological appetite. To believe
that our work after hours will be able to undo the 8 hours a day in

which our energies are harnessed by the dominant culture, would be
naive.

as it been so important that a totalitarian power be
overthrown. The key factor in the ongoing struggle is maintaining the
independence of the human mind. Resistance to the Big Lie must be
solidly developed. Should people be able to retain their cognitive
independence, it will not be hard to see through the established smoke
screen.

If our responsibility were only to ourselves, we might be excused for
slacking off. But we are not the sole victims. Not only Americans, but
Asians as well are directly hurt by the Monster’s culture of death. and
hardly a human being on the globe is not peripherally victimized by
the American monster.
