AccredationDeferred
For Social Welfare
President Evan R. Collins at
his Monday afternoon conference
with students announced reasons
for the deferment of accreditation
for the School of Social Welfare
on 221 Ontario Street.
He explained that the Council
for Social Work on Education
announced that there will be a
deferment of accreditation for the
School of Social Welfare. The
relative short existence of the
school was cited as the primary
reason for its deferment. The
School is beginning its second
year of operation this fall.
The school will be eligible for
accreditation again in the spring
of 1968. If accreditation is de-
ferred once again it will be again
eligible in spring of 1969. If
accreditation is approved by the
spring of 1969 those students
who graduated with a degree in
this area before accreditation
will receive atacit accreditation.
The School of Social Welfare
which presently offers under-
graduate as well as graduate
courses at the University is al-
ready accredited by the State
Education Department in Albany.
Tentatively planned are addi-
tional undergraduate courses and
field experience for the summer
and fall of 1968. Upon the com-
pletion of their undergraduate
education in Social Welfare
graduates may enter employment
in social agencies.

Liquor License Approved
For Campus Center Area
by Jill Paznik
Staff Reporter
The State Liquor Au-
thority has given the Uni-
versity a liquor license
that will be put intoeffect
within three to four
weeks.
Beer will be served in
the rathskeller, while
both liquor and beer will
be available for functions
taking place in the’ rooms
of the Campus Center
(with the aid of a travel-
ing bar).
The Patroon Room, which “will
be operating as a fine
restaurant,” will have several
kinds of beverages and full bar
service in the future. It will be
open during lunch hours for
faculty only; however, students
Janis lan in Concert Tonite
With Buffalo Springfield
by Janie Samuels
Janis Ian and The Buffalo
Springfield will be in concert to-
nite, Friday, September 29 inthe
Campus Center Ballroom. The
event is being sponsored .by the
Senior Class and the Special
Events Board.
Janis Ian, a sixteen-year-old
high school student who hails
from Metropolitan New York
City, is best known for her re-
lease, “'Society’s Child.’”
However, this controversial
record dealing with the tragic
love affair between a white girl
and her negro boyfriend was not
played ,at first on the top forty
radio stations because of its
racial content.
It was not until Leonard Bern-
stein issued a statement com-
mending Janis Ian for the musical
talent displayed on her record
that the stigma was lifted. Mr.
Bernstein’s confidence in her as
one of the brightest up and coming
= star helped pro-
mote Miss Ian’s rise to fame.
KRLA, Pasadena, California
was the first radiostation tohave
the courage and initiative toissue
a public apology for not playing
“*Society’s Child.’”? The other top
forty stations soon followed suit.
Miss Ian’s other releases in-
clude ‘* Young Generation Blues,’
and ‘‘Janey’s Blues.”?
The Buffalo Springfield first
made their impact on the pop
market in the early spring of
1967 with their release, “For
What It?s Worth’? which soon
reached the top ten on a national
survey.
Before this they came out with
the song, ‘‘Nowaday’s Clancey
Can’t Even Sing’? in late 1966.
The group consists of five men,
Their main writer is a mannam~
ed Steven Stills who wrote “For
What It’s Worth”? and also ‘Sit
Down I Think I Love You’? for
another group called the Mojo
Men.

may enjoy it during the dinner
hours.
Administration Hopes
In applying for the license, the
administration originally asked
that liquor be allowed in the
lounges of the dorms and those
in the academic buildings.
In addition to this, President
Collins approved of the idea that
liquor be served in the patio
areas surrounding the Campus
Center, and in other locations
for special events.
State Dictates
However, in order to do this,
“the State Liquor Authority would
have to give a special license
which would take six months or
more” to formulate. ‘This was
told to President Collins who
said we should get something as
soon as possible.”
The license we now have has
a stipulation ‘‘that no service of
alcoholic beverages be made in
the patio area of this complex
and that the sale and service of
alcoholic beverages is to be con-
fined within the Campus Center
building? :
Mr. Neil C. Brown, director
of Student Affairs, feels that the
new license will allow an‘¢ampli-
fication of living in an adult
manner,’’ When asked if he felt
that the students could handle
this amplification, Brown stated
that he ‘thas faith in the Unt-
versity student. The University
years are a time for growth and
learning of all kinds. It’s more
than books.’?
Must Follow Civil Law
He said, however, that “the
legal provisions of the license
must be strictly adhered to. We
must follow Civil law and pro-
visions to the full measure be-
cause of obligations and because
we believe in it.”
“‘We’re all responsible for
keeping the license. It would be
the worst possible thing if we
lost it, especially after having
waited so long. A lot depends on
communications with students.
Students have to know what the
regulations are.’’
“Student leaders will have an
opportunity to hear from Brown
,and his staff in reference to

Special Events Board will again
sponsor Student Activities Day
this year on Saturday, September
30 between 10 AM and 2 PM. Un-
like earlier years, the program
will be held on both the uptown
and downtown campuses in order
to make it more convenient for
the Freshmen and transfer stu-
dents to attend.
Rosemary Cania and Frances
Litz, along with the other mem-
bers of the Board are hoping that
this year’s event will be success-
tul in ‘creating new interest’’ in
the various activities on campus.
All of the major organizations
are to be represented this year at
both locations and the number of
booths is expected to reach 30 or
85. Each organization will have
members on hand to answer ques-
tions as well as pamphlets de-
scribing their activities. Pref-
erence cards will be available for
the students to fill out and the
clubs will contact potential mem-
bers.
The wide range of organiza-
tions represented should include
a field of interest for everyone
who attends. Religious and ser-
vice organizations as well as the
more widely known literary and
dramatic organizations will have
booths to explain their activities.
Political, scholastic and social
organizations will also hope to
recruit new members.
Some of the clubs have arrang-
ed for special programs inorder
to help generate interest. The
Psychology club will put on a
psycho-drama, and the Associa-
tion of Computer Machines hopes
to be able to give students a look
at the University’s new computer.
Refreshments will be supplied
by the IFC and the ISC.
WSUA, as in the past, will
broadcast from Student Activities
Day downtown, and will providea
special program of ‘pick-and-
play’? on the new-campus. Guides
will be available throughout the
day to answer any questions about
the school or activities that may
arise.
Uptown the event will be held
in front of the Campus Center,
and since the area is protected
the site will remain the same
in case of rain. Downtown, Stu-
dent Activities Day will be held
in the Quad. Brubacher’s lower
loung will be the site if weather
demands.
Student Activites Day has be-
come a tradition on campus and it
is hoped by those involved that it
may generate an interest in
campus activities on the part of
old and new students alike. Inthe
past the activity has been con-
sidered a tremendous success
with more than a thousand pre-
ference cards returned. The co-
chairmen are striving for even
greater success ‘his year.
Cockrell To Give

‘Moment in The Sun’
Rienow’s NewBook
Professer Robert Rienow, of
the department of political
science, has recently published
“Moment in the Sun,” an exam-
ination of American abuse of
basic ecological principles, The
book, co-authored with his wife
Leona Train Rienow, is sub-
titled, ‘A Dial Report on the
Deteriorating Quality of the
American Environment.”
According to the publicity re-
leased by the publisher, Dial
Press, it is a ‘shocking book
which describes the awesome
destruction of the American en-
vironment,
“America the beautiful is be-
coming something of the past and
this item-by-item account vividly
illustrates the ways we have
ignored ecological principles and
abused our surroundings under
the pressures of a burgeoning
population and an outmoded
frontier creed of exploitation,”
One reviewer has called the
book **, , . a clear and clarion
call to do somethings about the
way the human race has been
polluting the air and waters and
laying waste the land of this
planet,””
The Rienows have long been
active in the field of conserva-
tion, Their farm near Selkirk,
New York is considered to be one
of the finer ecological showplaces
in the area.
Marx Brothers’
‘Monkey Business’
Film Tonight
Tonight the International Film
Group. will present the Marx
Brothers in one of their best-
known films, ‘Monkey Busi-
ness.””
Once out of fashion in cine-
ma circles, the films of Groucho,
Harp and Chico are now gradual-
ly being appreciated for their
verbal inventiveness and side-
splitting sight gags. The subtle
and surrealistic elements in
their comedy do not date: un-
like most films of the 1930s,
these pictures seem fresh and
spontaneous. (One need only
glance at the films of Richard
Lester to see how viable this
free-form, knockabout style is.)
“Monkey Business’ has a typ-
ically convoluted plot. The broth-
ers, stowaways on an ocean lin-
er, hire themselves out as rival
bodyguards to two feuding gang-
sters. But as usual the plot is
not too important, and the trio
feel free to improvise dialogue
and scenes when the spirit moves
them. Each has a chance to dis-
Play his own comedic specialty:
Harpo’s frantic miming, Chico’s
elaborate plotting and punning,
and Groucho’s tours de force
of repartee, the goal of which
is to make absolutely certain
no conversation * »s anywhere.
“Monkey Business” will be
shown at 7:00 and 9:15 in Drap-
er 349 on the Old Campus. Ad-
mission is $.25 with student tax,
$.40 without.

Perlmutter Discusses
Academic Regulations
An informal interview with Dr,
O, William Pearlmutter, Dean of
the College of Arts andSciences,
disclosed some of the topics
considered by the Committee on
Undergraduate Education which
has been working since last Jan-
uary,
The purpose of the committee
was to consider and re-evaluate
all aspects of undergraduate ed-
ucation in all areas from new
ways of obtaining Master’s De-
gree to grading systems.
The committee will not pre-
sent its formal report until
early in October after which it
will be slated for further dis-
cussions,
Webb Fiser, vice president for
Academic Affairs, headed the
committee and worked in close
coordination with other facul
ty members,
Pearlmutter stressed the fact
that undergraduate education
must be, in effect, re-defined to
eliminate the idea that it must

where between the ages of 18-
22,
He said the committee also
favored strongly getting away
Tryout Dates-
‘Gantry Readin
“glmer Gantry,’’ the popular
novel by Sinclair Lewis, has been
selected for the opening fall pro-
gram of the Readers Club.
This program is scheduled for
Oct. 20 and 21, according to Mr.
Robert Fish, director.
Try-outs for Lewis’ powerful
novel should prove particularly
interesting as Fish selects those
best suited to portray the way-
out characters, including the re-
doubtable Reverend Gantry.
Fish pointed out that the no-
vel demands many male charac-
ters and because of this, he hopes
for a large male turnout.
‘Try-outs will begin at 7:30 p.m.
in Humanities 39 on Tuesda;
Anyone unable to attend the Tues-
day’s try-out should contact Fish

al programs were alsoreviewed,
even to the point of considering
a University of small highly spe-
cialized colleges on the order of
Oxford and Cambridge,
Although this small college
idea was discussed heavily,
Pearlmutter said the general

to the feeling that it would be

tury rather than a step forward,
Syrett Addresses Convo

Stresses Academic Folklore
Editor’s Note: We feel
Syrett’s speech was the most
exemplary Convocation speech
we have heard. We are also
pleased to note that we have
heard Syrett?s speech wun-
equivocally praised from all
sides by Jill Pazmk
Staff Reporter
The main address of the 124th
traditional Convocation and
Candlelight Ceremony was the
focal point of the evening.
The address, delivered by Dr.
Harold C, Syrett, Vice Chancel-
lor of the State University of New
York, dwelt on the consequence
of academic folklore.
Syrett pointed out that ‘nowl-
edge is not statis; it changes
and increases.” If teachers sim-
ply relate facts they have read
they are not doing their part in
the educational process,
He discussed “Sponge Uni-
versities,’”’ which are places of
higher education where the teach-
ers act as “wet sponges” and
become’ soaked dry by student
“dry sponges” until the end of
the year when the students are
soaked dry by finals. The end
result is that nothing is learn-
ed. Syrett felt that Albany was
not this type of university.

Mantovani and his 45-piece or-

Tt has been said Mantovani
“knows the kind of sounds he
wants to hear and he knows how
to transcribe notes on paper,
so that musicians can produce
these sounds.””
The sounds of the Mantovani
Orchestra are largely compos-
ed of string sounds, and Man-
tovani has written a large num~
ber of his own compositions,
He wrote many of them when
he couldn’t find something which
already existed to suit the need
of his 45-piece orchestra. Man-
tovani’s composition “Toyshop
Ballet’ gained him the Ivor No-
vello Award in 1957.

Syrett divided teachers into
three categories: “absolute
bums”? at the bottom level, ‘‘il-
luminating and inspiring minds”
on the lighest level and the
majority of teachers in the mid-
dle gray” category,
The most significant role of
the teacher, according to Syrett,
is toactas a stimulant and trouble
maker to goad the student into
learning, and yet not take the
Pleasure and enjoyment out of
learning. Syrett referred to this
as “To disillusion without dis-
enchanting.”
He also stressed that students
may have two attitudes when they
come to college. One is to be
taught, the other is to learn,
The former puts the student in
Passive role while the actual
burden rests with the teacher,
The latter will take place “al-
most in spite of the teacher.”
President Evan R, Collins,
Speaking on behalf of the stu-
dents, governing board and fac-
ulty, expressed a sense of pride
in the University community. He
spoke of fire as an old symbol
used against fear and as a tool
in ‘the dissemination of the light
of knowledge the flame and
torch will light the way and re-
new itself through its scholars.”
William Cleveland, President
of Student Association, welcomed
the students to the University.

LectureSeries
The English Department will
sponsor a series of lectures this
year of general appeal to a uni-
yersity audience. The lecture
series will involve four speakers
and one poet.
The series will begin on
October 26 when George Ford,
noted author, will speak on
“Dickens and the Eternal
Moment.”
The members ofthe committee
are sure that since the selected
speakers will speak on topics of
general interest the lectures will
be worthwhile for non-English
majors.
This lecture series has been
made possible by the work of a
committee headed by Dr. Town-
send Rich and includes Mr. Hugh
Maclean, Mr. DonaldStauffer and
Mr. Thomas Smith, all of the
English Department.
The program will be continued
on November 28 with Stanley
Hyman, one of America’s most
eminent literary critics, discuss-
ing ‘Iago; Some Approaches to
Motivation.’”
In February, the literary
scholar and author of the off-
Broadway success, ‘Hogan’s
Goat,’? William Alfred, will speak
on the ‘Tragic Concentration in
Beckett’s Waiting for Gogot.??
Then, in March, Claude T.
Bissel, president of the Uni-
versity of Toronto, will speak on
“The Humorist As Social Critic:
Leacock and Twain.” He will be
followed by Robert Wallace, an
exciting young figure among
American poets, whowill present
a poetry reading.
Facade of State
Quad Dismays
Arriving Frosh
Dust, dirt, noise and State
Quad were there to greet the
freshmen to the New Campus
this year. There to help the ine
coming class were the ‘71 vol-
unteers of the State Quad, the
R.A.’s and dorm directors.
On the whole, the Frosh took
their luck graciously. Some re-
marked upon entering their un-
tiled rooms, “Well, here we
are!’’ Another stock phrase used
by the Freshmen as they looked
at their uncompleted rooms was
“Well this is it.’”
The scene was a hectic one:
Parents looking as befuddled as
their children. Some were helping
to unpack the trunks in the lobby
and carrying the contents up three
flights of stairs. Others were
taking armfuls of blankets, lamps
and other necessities to the
rooms they were paying for.
The workmen tried their best
to continue their workdespite the
presence of several hundred peo-
ple. In Steinmetz Hall a grinder
was filling half the lobby full of
sparks. Carpenters were building
the main desk at Tappan Hall. In
all the completed dorms the stu-
dents checked into the completed
rooms at the main desk. Instead
of R.A.’s at Tappan they hadcar-
penters.
The checking in procedure was
conducted out of doors for allthe
dorms. This unexpected inform-
ality helped to create the overall
picture of a carnival preparing
for its first show. People were
hurrying! Dresses, yellow,
green, white and red, were being
carried around. Workmen were
building around the hustle. There
was talk everywhere about every-
thing.
The quad isn’t. totally com-
posed of Freshman. There are
quite a few upperclassmen who
are enduring the newly opened
dorms with the Frosh. All these
Staters must look longingly atthe
green grass on the other side of
the campus.

Frosh Elect Officers
The Freshmen Class elections
resulted in a tie for the presi-
dency. Maria Johnson and Andy
Taudeau received the highest
number of votes Tues, night at
the Freshmen Class meeting.
Kathleen Spiak was elected as
secretary; the office of treas-
urer was won by Tom Kolbe,
Those who were elected as
members of the Freshmen Coun-
cil were Linda Becker, Ron Blum,
Warren Burt, Carole Clark,
Ralph DiMarino, Carol DiNapoli,
Thomas Lamberton, Ira Oppen-
hiem, Margaret Scharr, Doug-
las Wager and Richard Wesley,
The council will vote to break
the tie that exists between Tau-
deau and Miss Johnson. The win-
ner of that vote will become
president of the Freshmen Class.
The officers were the students
who received the most votes of
the 15 elected. About 60 students
ran for the positions on the coun-
cil. Each student has required to,
give a short speech at the meet-
ing.
The speeches brought out such
comments as, ‘We need more
politics on this campus’ or
‘Where is the rah rah spirit
we’re supposed to have?’ Anoth-
er comment that was thrown to
the assembly was, ‘If your in-
terested enough you can get some-
thing done.’ Such were the re-
marks of the frosh.
Only about 300 students show-
ed up at the election meeting;
yet percentage-wise this number
is above par for most elections
on this campus, The election is
one of the earliest that was ever
held for a freshmen class.
Dr. William D. Closson, asso-
elate professor of chemistry at
the University, has received a
$22,833 grant from the Public
Health Service of the Depart-
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare. The Grant will provide
for research in cleavage of
sulfonyl derivatives with anion
radicals.
Dr. Closson said that sulfonyl
derivatives are important since
some of them are known as‘‘Sulfa
drugs,’’ and also because of their
use as intermediates in the syn-
thesis of peptides.
They. also have a long history
of use in synthesizing many other
types of organic molecules. A
critical step in most of the syn-
thetic processes is the removal
HEW Grants Closson

of the sulfonyl group from the
rest of the molecule. This pro-
cess has not yet been perfected
to a high degree.
The professor added, ‘Anion
radicals, such as those formed
when sodium metal is treated with
naphthalene, appear to be. ex-
tremely good agents for several
types of the cleavage reactions.
This we have found through some
of our previous research,””
The purpose of the grant is to
allow us to find out how good
anion radicals are for cleavage
of different types of sulfonyl
derivatives, which of the several
possible anton radicals work
best, and as much as possible
about exactly how the reaction
proceeds.’’

New Gallery’
First Exhibit.
Rockefeller
Collection
The Rockefeller Art Collec-
tion will constitute the first ex-
hibit of the new university art
gallery in the Fine Arts Build-
ing. The showing will begin Oct.
6 and will end on Nov. 17.
The collection includes fifty
pieces representing such artists
as Picasso, Brague, Klee, Mor!-
sol and the university’s own Rich-
ard Stankiewicz.
This gallery is one of the
largest in Upstate New York,
In actuality, there are five sub-
galleries contained in the 80 feet
by 80 feet, three-story gallery.
One sub-gallery is located on
the first floor, another on the
second floor which is two stor-
jes high, and the other three
galleries adjoin the latter gal-
lery.
The Fine Arts Building will
provide for the students’ first-
hand viewing of original works
of art and creation of student
pieces under the eyes of profes-
sional artists.
Studios for sculpture, paint-
ing, and graphic arts as well as
classrooms for the various art
history courses are located in
this building.
The basement floor, being
readied for use in late October,
will house the photographic stu-
dios.
With the expansion of the uni-
versity, The Fine Arts Depart-
ment has expanded its scope and
content with new courses and
instructors. New additions to the
Fine Arts staff are Mr. Donald
Mochon, Gallery Director since
July, and Miss Susan Blandy, Art
Librarian since April.
New faculty members are: Mr,
Richard Stankiewicz, sculpture
and drawing; Mr. Joe Alpers, pho-
tography; and Dr, Arthur Lennig,
film-making and cinema.

THE RUINS of the Mohawk Barn after the fire
which destroyed it this summer.
The building
contained the area known as the club room.
MohawkBarnDestroyed
Plagued By Two Fires
During the past summer the
Mohawk property was hit by two
separate fires, The barncontain-
ing the recently remodeled room
was burnt to the ground by a
fire of undetermined origin.
The other fire was caused by
a kiln which proved too hot for
the roof of its building.
The barn fire destroyedevery-
thing in the great room which was
to house the large parties and
gatherings. The building had just
received a new coat of paint, and
the remodeling of a second room
was in progress. It also destroy-
ed the garage near the barn,
Many machines and large tools
were rescued from the flames.
A new building will be built
to take the place of the old barn.
This building, now in the planning
stage, will not have the antiquity
of the barn but will be construct-
ed especially for the use of stu-
dent and faculty groups.
Presently the house on the
property will accommodate 40
to 60 people. All other facilities
at Mohawk are in operation and
have been improved during the
summer, The permanent staff has
been increased from one tothree
employees.
Damage caused by the kiln
fire only razed the roof as the
concrete walls and kiln werefire
proof. The damage was slight,
and will easily be repaired.

PlanningConference
Furthers Frosh U nity
by Ray McCloat
767 Conference Assistant
“Tf this conference has no
impact on you,” Dean Sorrell
Chesin asserted, ‘if you leave
here Friday feeling nothing —
that the three days had been
wasted — then you better do
some serious thinking when you
get home about why you’re com-
ing to college and why you’re
coming to Albany in particular.”
So began each of the seven
freshmen summer planning con-
ferences — with Associate Dean
of Students Chesin demanding that
each freshman feel ‘“all the emo-
tions” — anxiety, excitement,
happiness, fear — during his
three-day summer stay that is
a veritable cram session in stu-
dent emotions,
Yet in spite of the numerous
tensions that accompany such a
visit to a totally new environ-
nent, a vast majority of the
students left the SUNYA cam-
pus sharing a common feeling
— a marked eagerness about
returning in the fall.
During the conferences, the
staff was continually impressed
by the maturity level of the fresh-
men and by the contagious en-
thusiasm exhibited by the class,
This high-spiritedness was par-
ticularly evident in the rugged
volleyball games and Thursday
night songfests. Infact, members
of one conference decided upon a
re-union during the following
week at Nathan’s in Ocean-
side, L.1.
There were five modified plan-
ning conferences for transfer
students that dealt primarily with
credit transfer and pre-registra-
tion, The transfers arrived
around noon on Monday afd left
at various times on Tuesday
afternoon.
Such events as meetings with
counseling service, group and in-
dividual academic advisement,

talks on student extra-curricular

Four New
Bldgs. Opened
On Podium
The University academic podi-
um has four new buildings this
semester, three of whicharenow
being used to house offices and
classrooms. Because the Bus-
iness Administration Building
has not yet been opened, the
financial aids office, vocational
library, undergraduate admis-
sions office, and the University
Counseloring Center will be
temporarily located on the first
floor of the Business Building.
The Business Building has
classes operating on all three
floors, the graduate courses
eing primarily conducted on the
first and second floors.
Ninety per cent of the Fine Arts
Building has been completed at
this time. A gallery will be
located on the first floor where
faculty and students will be able
to exhibit their work. As with
the Business Building, the Fine
Arts Building has classes operat-
ing on all three levels.
The Math Department occupies
the first floor of the EarthScience
Building. Mr. Cowling, depart-
ment head, has his office in
room 110. The Department of
Earth and Atmosphere is located
on the second floor, and the De-
partment of Astronomy and Space
Science is on the third. The
Earth Science Building has
classes operating on all three
floors.
Physics’ Dept.
Garg Returns
From Tokyo
Dr. Jagadish Garg, professor
of physics at the University has
returned to the campus from
Tokyo where he participated in
the International Conference on
Nuclear Structure. The meeting,
sponsored by the International
Union of Pure and Applied Phy-
sics, was attended by more than
250 scientists from throughout
the world.
Dr. Garg presented a paper
entitled, “The High Resolution
Neutron Cross-section Measure-
ment in Manganese and Cobalt.’”
While in Tokyo Dr. Garg visited
laboratories at the Institue of
Nuclear Studies, the leading in-
stitute of its kind in Japan.
The Albany professor conducts
research activities in nuclear
physics in the department of
physics at the University where
a nuclear particle accelerator
will be installed in about a year.
His attendance at the inter-
national conference was financed
by the National Science Founda-
tion and by the Albany university.

Littlefield Dir
A bit of Finland has been
transported to Dippikill, the Uni-
versity property whose purpose
was in question last year. A
3uana bath has been constructed
oy Dr. Thomson Littlefield and a
qumber of University students.
Dr. Littlefield was impressed
by the idea of building a Sauna
after he spent a year in Finland
on Sabbatical leave from the
University. In Finland Sauna
baths are very popular. People
have them in their homes as well
as for the public.
Work begun
Last spring during senior week
students began work on the pro-
ject which took all summer.
Those who went to Dippikill the
first week included Littlefield
and his daughter Lydia, Judith
Mills, Marcia Lemke, Nancy
Papish and John Woytowish.
That first week progress was
made as the foundation was dug,
the cement poured and three
sides were fabricated. The walls
were first put together out of
plywood and then put up. Things
didn’t go smoothly for the group
all summer. Equipment was
stolen and had to be replaced
and windows were broken.
Another problem was thetrans-
portation of equipment. TheSauna
is located across the lake from
the farmhouse and no main road
reaches the Sauna site. All ma-
terials had to be carried on a
canoe across the lake.
_The group laughed over the
fact that originally Littlefieldhad
expected the whole Sauna to be!
completed in one week but it
wasn’t heated until September 16.
The first ones to try the Sauna
were Littlefield, Miss Papish
and Frank Snow, campus

Construction Of Sauna Bath
minister. The procedure is tosit
in the heated Sauna for about 15
minutes and then dive into the
lake and back into the Sauna
several times. Members of the
group wore bathing suits for
the experience.
A member of the first group
described the Sauna as very re-
“teshing and cleansing since it
ypens up the pores of the skin.
The group had to become re-
freshed and ready for the mile
trek back to the farmhouse where
they staved.
Building design
The building itself was design-
ed by Peter Parsons, an Albany
architect who was asked for help
by Miss Mary Raddant of the Art
Department. He also was at the
site almost every weekend tohelp
with the construction and to make
any last minute changes in the
plans. The dimensions are based
on Le Corbusier’s theory ‘the
Modular’? which involves human
proportions and the ‘‘GoldenSec-
tion.’? The building is eight feet
high, eight feet wide and 12 feet
long.
Those who visited Dippikill
during the summer to offer their
labor or moral support included
both students and faculty and no
one was paid. The only cost will
be that of building materials and
equipment.
Some of the Sauna rans expect
to be enjoying this new activity
all winter, perhaps with a roll in
the snow instead of a dive in the
lake so this may become the new
winter sport for the University
and finally a new purpose for
Dippikill may be found after ques-
tioning its development and use
since its purchase in 1956.

Band, Statesmen
Give Concerts
At Expo ‘67
After two days of intensive
rehearsal, the members of the
University Band and the States-
men set out on September 16
to perform at Expo ’67. They
spent two days touring the French
city of Montreal and the fair,
accumulating everything from
Havana cigars to Asian artifacts,
The house was full for both
of the evening band concerts
which were exceptionally well
received. The program began
with ‘‘Festive Overture,’’ a live-
ly piece by 20th century Rus-
sian composer, Shastakovich. It
was probably the most difficult
and most rewarding selection the
band has yet performed, for it
requires absolute technical pre-
cision at a rapid tempo.
Humperdink’s ‘Hansel and
Gretel” combined many of the
opera’s moods, from the calm of
the Children’s Prayer to the vio-
lence of The Storm. Highlights
from “Camelot” was as popular
with the Canadian audience as it
has been with the audiences at
State.
The program was brought to a
rousing close withSousa’s “‘Grid-
iron Club March,’’ It was per-
formed with musical taste and
sensitivity, and served also as a
much demanded encore.
The Statesmen, unfortunately,
had poor conditions under which
to perform. Although discour-
aged, they rallied to give their
audiences an enjoyable exper-
idence. Their repertoire includ-
ed “What Shall We Do with a
Drunken Sailor,” “Yellow Bird,”
and ‘Sine Nomine’ which they
also sang with the band accom-
paniment at the opening Convo-
cation.
During their Expo stay, the
band and Statesmen received
many compliments and requests
on their performance. 1,.5.K.

Three Plays Planned
For Theatre Evening
Three community theatre
groups at the New York State
Community Theatre Association
Conference here at the Univer-
sity will be presenting plays in
Page Hall, Friday, October 6
starting at 8:30 p.m.
The triple-barrelled evening
will include Tennessee Williams’
“The Gnadiges Fraulein,” pre-
sented by the Newburgh Civic
Theatre; the Rome Community
Theatre’s production of Joseph
Golden’s “The Contract’? and
Gian Carlo Menotti’s ‘‘Amahl
and the Night Visitors,’’ present-
ed by the Pleasantville Music
Theatre. This ambitious program
of theatre is open to the public
and tickets may be purchased or
reserved at the Campus Center,
The first play on the triple-
bill, “The Gnadiges Fraulein,”
was originally presented in 1966
at the Longacre Theatre in New
York City, Tennessee Williams
describes ‘‘Gnadiges Fraulein’?
as a ‘short fantastic work whose
content .is a dislocated and wide-
ly idiomatic sort of tragedy.’?
In production the play becomes
a “fantastic allegory onthe tragi-
comic subject of human existence
on this risky planet.” He sees
the play as “kin to vaudeville,
burlesque, and slapstick with a
dash of pop art thrown in. The
time of the play is the present;
the setting is the southern-most
key of the most southern state
of the Union, The cast of charac-
‘ters includes Polly, the gossip
columnist and’ society editor of
a local newspaper; and Molly,
who runs a boarding house whose
patrons are mostly winos: and
vipers (users of marijuana).
The “Gnadiges Fraulein’ is
also a resident of Molly’s “Big
Dormitory.” She is a former
European theatrical star. Indian
Joe is a blond Indian with blue
eyes, and all three female char-
acters “have eyes” for him. A
bird called a Cocalooney alsoap-
pears, William compared this
bird to a giant pelican which is
2 yarasite and lives onfish which
i. geavenges from
ed by the fishing boats as not fit
for market.
Joseph Golden, the author of
the second play on the program,
“The Contract,” is currently the
Executive Director of the Per-
forming Arts Facility Commit-
tee of Syracuse and Onandaga
County. ‘The Contract’? con-
cerns an aging ‘‘it’’ girl of the
1920s, one of filmdom’s bright-
est stars. Alone, poor, eccer-
tric, she is confronted with an
agreement made years before
with her studio: to give them
her life whenever they wanted
it. The studio, represented by
a super organization man, has a
tough time collecting, and both
characters find themselves
caught in the contract.
“Amahl and the Night Visit-
ors,’’ the third production of the
evening, is the well-known work
of Gian Carlo Menotti which has
become traditional Christmas
fare on national television,

Favorable Review
by Walter Doherty
There is now at the Campus
Center a display of photographs
by Klaus Schnitzer, a student
here who has managed in his
free time at the University to
become a first - rate photogra-
pher. His photos in the display
are of people, places and things
and are quite good.
This is because of Schnitzer’s
uncanny ability at framing his
subject. There is a picture of
a narrow street in Genoa: the
street itself is bright and alive
with light, but the photo was so
taken that shadows — black sha-
dows — of buildings frame the
sides and bottom of the scene,
Natural Frame
This natural black frame gives
added emphasis to the street
scene. Another photo shows a
picture of one of the quads, and
across the top of the picture
can be seen the shadow of Schnit-
zer’s finger. This blacks out a
great deal of useless and dis-
tracting sky, andemphasizesthe
tower in the picture’s center,
There are also several pic-
tures of docks and warves which,
while good, are rather reminis-
cent of the photographic display
of Joseph Alper’s last year —
even so, these are still good.
Some of Schnitzer’s best pho-
tos, however, are his portraits,
The ones of the girls are par-
ticularly notable for the emo-
tional qualities brought out by
the qualities of the lighting and
the highlighting. It gives a qual-
ity to the eyes,
Jazz Pictures
There is one of a Negro musi-
cian from one of last year’s
jazz concerts which might just
be the best photo in the show.
There is something not quite
right about the use of space in
this photo, but the tenseness of
the moment is captured: not only
do you see this man’s sweat, but
vou ean feel it.
All of the above are in black
and white, a medium in which
Schnitzer does quite well, if not
excellently. There are also some
Pictures in color, but the only
one which comes near the black
and white photos — that of
Cologne — does so because it
is nearly black and white,

The Spectator
A View of the Arts
by Robert B. Cutty
The Drama Department hasal-
ready chosen the plays it will
present for the 1967-68 season,
and I am rather surprised to
note that the productions are
all somewhat serious minded,
The first play, for which au-
ditions have already been com-
pleted, will be presented in No-
vember. It is Brecht’s ‘‘Private
Life of the Master Race’’ and will
be staged by Mr. James Leonard,
Leonard’s previous productions
include ‘‘Of Mice and Men,’’ his
very successful Fall, 1965 sea-
son opener.
T have noticed, as a personal
observation, that Leonardisfair-
ly humanistic. His Steinbeck play
was handled with subtlety and
warmth, mingled with a light
sense of humor at certain points
and a constant understanding of
the poignant nature of human
relationships.
Last Spring, Leonard’s pro-
duction was a Kaufman-Connelly
comedy of the 1920s, ‘Merton of
the Movies.”” Here Leonard found
it truly difficult to surmount the
corny sentimentality that flowed
like thick syrup through all three
acts of ‘Merton,’ But he succeed-
ed in salvaging a fairly pleas-
ant comedy, anyway.
Brecht’s play will surely be
a challenge. It is laced with a
strong streak of savage wit that
touches every dirty corner of
life. Brecht’s fierce, biting com-
mentary on human relations, a
prime feature of all his works,
makes this play a tough, dark,
exciting drama,
Y’m wishing Leonard the best

Protiles in the Performing Arts
by John Webb
As far as I am concerned, there can be
only one topic to launch this column on the
performing arts, and this is the masterpiece
both of construction and performance which
is found 25 miles north of our own campus.
Of course I speak of the Saratoga Perform-
ing Arts Center which recently closed its sec-
ond season.
For two summers the center has been the
home of the New York City Ballet and the
Philadelphia Orchestra, as well as host to
numerous guest artists such as Van Cliburn,
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Rudolf Serkin,
Joan Baez and the Tijuana Brass to mention
only a few.
It has been my pleasure to have attended
several performances there during the past
two seasons, and I wish to impart to you some
of the enthusiasm and immeasurable respect
which I hold for this vestiture of fine art.
Architecturally and acoustically it is truly
a masterpiece. The 5,100 seat amphiteater is
located in a very rustic settling among trees
and surrounded by lawns on which one can
sit. for a very minimal cost and enjoy a con-
cert under the stars. It is a brown steel struc-
ture open on three sides through which the
soothing evening breezes can blow providing
natural airconditioning.
Acoustics Great
Despite its being so open-air, the acoustics
are so excellent that even the softest pianissimo
can be heard way
Parking is beautifully handled, The parking
areas, accessible from Rte. 50 and Rte. 9
via the park are well organized and there is
never a real traffic jam,
Now that I have commented on the tech-
nical aspects of the center, I should like
to turn to the performances. It is my inten-
tion here to deal with the Philadelphia Or-
chestra, One adjective reigns supreme when
describing the superb group which has ma-
tured and trained under the skilled baton of
its director, Eugene Ormandy, and this is
“Perfection.”
Ormandy has been with the orchestra since
1936 when he assumed the position held by
Stokowski, and has held this position for 31
years (unequalled by any other conductor).
During this time he has molded and shaped
the orchestra, creating that smooth and ex-
pressive “Philadelphia Sound.”
Ormandy Directs
out on the lawns.
who unfortunately holds the baton of the New
York Philharmonic, he does not need to ballet
during performance, The music speaks in his
fingers, the muscles of his arms and his entire
body which remains only sedately mobile while
conducting.
The orchestra has several outstanding tech-
niques which they employ frequently. One is
the beautiful and floating pianissimo, and anoth-
er is the gradual, very smooth and majestic
eresendo and decresendo used so dramatical-
ly and done unlike any orchestra in the world.
A guest artist appearing with the Philadel-
phia must be on guard or he will be over-
shadowed by the orchestra and its greatness.
One of the best examples was Van Cliburn’s
adequate performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano
Concerto No. 2 on August 3,
The orchestra’s performance of Sibelius’
Symphony No, 2 pitifully outdid Cliburn, and
their “Variations on a Theme by Handel” over-
powered the Mormon Choir’s well done perfor-
mance of Brahams’ Requiem on August 26.
What I am driving at here is the unequalled
finesse and perfection of this orchestra above
anything I have ever heard or expect to for
some time,
Rachmaninoff Speaks
Rachmaninoff realized this when he brought
some of his later works to this country to be
premiered by Ormandy’s orchestra. At this
time he made a statement which Mr. Ormandy
modestly recalls: ‘When I was a young man,
T idolized Chaliapin.
“He was my ideal, and when I thought of
composition I thought of song and of Chaliapin.
Now he is gone. Today when I think of compos:
ing my thoughts turn to you, the greatest or-
chestra in the world. For this reason I dedi-
eate this, my newest composition to the mem-
bers of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and to
your conductor, Eugene Ormandy.””
Rachmaninoff’s words will ring true to you
as well when you attend a performance at Sara-
toga. Perfection is the word of the day, and
you will be seating yourself to an experience
which you will never forget. Make Saratoga one
of your “musts” next summer.
Don’t forget that there are three highlights
in the performing arts this week. Peter, Paul
and Mary are at the Armory on Friday and
Mantovani is at the RPI Field House on Sat-
urday. Tickets available at VanCurler Music

The Jazz
Review
by Lou Strong
This past summer has been
very good to me. Though I wasn’t
able to attend any of the festi-
vals that were held this summer,
I was able to get some very
good inside information on jazz
issues. But, that’s neither here
nor there. The basic objective
of this column is to give you
students some insight on jazz
happenings throughout the world,
So, we start...
A very interesting thing has
happened to the two major jazz
magazines of this country. As
of July, both “Downbeat”? and
‘Jazz’? magazines have broad-
ened their scope to include Pop
or Rock ’n Roll, This could be
a very interesting innovation and
the implications are fantastic,
First of all, realize that it
was only a few short years ago
that jazz was considered the un-
cultured music..We were lucky
if any major “Establishment”?
organization paid any attention
to us at all. Now, jazz is esta-
blished and it seems that our jour-
nalistic organs have been fit to
give status to Rock. Shades of
the Upper-Classt
Now, I don’t want anyone to
get the opinion that I am against
this innovation. On the contrary,
I wholeheartedly support it,
There is too much good stuff
going on in Rock today for it not
to be seen and discussed in the
‘‘legitimate,’’ as opposed the typ-
ical Rock and Teen magazines we
see on the newstands.
But, I do question the way that
Downbeat and Jazz (now called
Jazz & Pop) have implied that
Rock is a pure art form. Grant-
ed, the ideas that have come out

are good, innovational and musi-
cal,
I will also grant that many of
the things we hear on radio by
Rock groups is better than some
of the mediocre jazz and “‘seri-
ous’? music on the market today,
But, does anyone in their right
mind think that Rock is an art
form?
There is no way that we can
define or determine what con-
stitutes an art form, In the eyes
of many, some of the most dis-
gusting aspects of the so-called
art world are truly works of art.
The American institution that is
called the Art Critic has praised
to the skies some absolutely
nauseating paintings and music
pieces. So, who is to say what
is good and what is bad?
The only criteria that we have
is an exciting
experience in itself. Unlike his contemporary

for determining the artistic worth
of anything is by looking at past
history and at the work itself.
Now, is the past history of Rock
Arts Events
that meritorious? No, but this
alone is not enough to downgrade
what is happening now.
Perhaps what is really oceur-
ring here is that I am letting my
own prejudices show through,
If so, I apologize. But, I cannot
help but question the way that
Pop has been ‘legitimized’ sime
ply because the young market that
used to buy and support jazz has
now ‘turned on’? to Rock and the
many young musicians that used
to be drawn to jazz are nowplay-
ing Rock. Whose fault is this?
The answer to this question
and to the question of “Artistic
Rock’? must not and cannot be
answered by me. The only peo-
ple that can give the true pic-
,ture of this problem are you,

STATE Quad,
Resign Resign!
The unofficial rumor that William
Cleveland, president of the Student As-
sociation, is considering placing his
resignation before Central Council suits
us fine. However we would rather have
seen this action taken last spring when
controversy first arose, after disclosure
of certain issues caused many to doubt
his responsibility for the position.
Great contention also arose over
certain irregularities and illegalities
apparent in all elections held since
March. It was found that procedures
for self nomination, voting, and the
drawing up, and storing of ballots
were negligent; in some cases regula-
tions had been blatantly abused due
to the lack of an efficient Election Com-
mission. Bitterness followed:
These irregularities were formally
presented in an election referral drawn
up by students Schwartz, Schnitzer, and
Upham on May 3, 1967. It demanded
invalidation of the 1967 MYSKANIA, class
officer, Central Council and Living Area
Affairs Commission elections, as well
as the election of Jeffrey Mishkin as
vice president of the Student Associa-
tion.
The ASP backed this referral and
also advocated immediate re-elections
held under the auspices of a non-parti-
san organization. The ’66-’67 MYSKANIA
was then asked to restage certain (LAAC
& Popular Central Council) “elections;
in order to maintain strict legality _
*66-'67 MYSKANIA presented another
referral to the Supreme Court on some
voting technicalities. The Court handed
down a formal statement, stating, among
other things, that the elections could not
be reheld unless the nominations pro-
cedures were also repeated. The follow-
ing day they refused to review their de-
cision which left matters up in the
air. Elections were never reheld.

lect it
elections cited remain technically in-
valid; however it would be inconceiv-
able to think of restaging the elec-
tions now. All branches of the Student
Association begin operations immed-
iately, and the Student Association could
not withstand the set back. Therefore
we will honor the elections as such.
We urge Central Council to take im-
mediate steps to set up the non-parti-
san Election Commission demanded last
year to help insure the validity of
elections. We would also like to see
the possibilities of using a voting ma-
chine investigated.
There will be no excuse for these
conditions to arise again this year,
if immediate action is taken. IfCleve-
land resigns, best luck to Jeffrey Mish-
kin; if he doesn’t we’ll cal and bear it.
Table Trouble
We were shocked to hear reports
from the SDS (Students for A Demo-
cratic Society) people that they were
having trouble setting up their regu-
lar literature table in the campus cen-
ter this year. It seems they were in-
formed that because so many students
organizations were requesting table
space that table space was to be doled
out in two week time segments.
We feel this literature table is one
of the most vital things SDS can do to
make itself effective. The table is a
service to anyone who wants to obtain
“inexpensive literature of this nature.
Furthermore we think of the Campus
Center as such. It should be a center
for student organizations, and all the
card tables which can be accommo-
dated should be regardless of whe-
ther or not they enhance the interior.
It is our hope to see the SDS Litera-
ture Table installed in the lobby of the
Campus Center permanently, soon, and
to see an end to this type of foolish-
ness forever.

Notes from the Movement
by Peter Pollak, Editor,
What happened in Albany this
past July 26 and 27 was simi-
lar to what happened in 50 or
60 other U.S. cities this sum-
mer. It was not planned and no
outside agitators instigated it;
the participants were not hood-
lums or criminals.
What did happen on July 26
and 27 was that two to three
hundred black people in Albany
said ‘no’? to an oppressive, de-
humanizing system personified
by white skinned people and in
particular by white Albany police-
men,
The incident that set off the
two day rebellion was like thou-
sands of incidents that take
Place in this country daily. A
Black American, in this case
aeyoung woman, was bullied by
a police officer.
But instead of getting away
with this treatment on this day,
the policeman was suddenly sur-
rounded by a crowd of black
youths who had witnessed the in-
cident. On the previous week
in the same area a black youth
had been struck by a policeman
during an argument about the
policeman’s lack of courtesy
towards a woman,
Again the police immediately
sought to use violence to es-
tablish their authority. The young
woman was taken away to be book-
ed for disorderly conduct and four
policemen tried to break up the
erowd by brandishing their clubs
and using them on the legs of
those who were slow in getting
out of the way.
The news of the trouble was
relayed to the office of The Broth-
ers, a black power group which
has existed in Albany for about
one year. By the time they reach-
ed the scene, The Brothers found
, ALBANY LIBERATOR
approximately 20 patrol car-
loads of police facing a crowd
of around 100 persons made up
mostly of teen-agers.
As it was later described by
one of The Brothers, their ac-
tions were instinctive. They saw
the kids with bricks and bottles
and the police with their guns
drawn.
By joining hands and getting
in between the police and the
youths, The Brothers were able
to push the crowd back and pre-
vent the inevitable slaughter. Lat-
er they held a meeting and drew
up a list of demands which they
intended to present the next day.
This was Wednesday night. On
Thursday The Brothers with
some area clergy visited the
acting police chief to present
their demands. The conces-
sions granted were minor —
the youths would have to come to

COMMENT
by William M, Leue
At the end of last year, a mila
controversy arose concerning
voting irregularities and other
shenanignas during the elections
for Central Council. The most
colorful incident was a contem-
plated (but not realized) essay
into ballot-box stuffing by the
then Chairman of Central Coun-
cil.
Although this somewhat roman-
tic escapade titilated the fancies’
of many campus residents, the
Serious observers of student poli-
tics were rather more concerned
with the whole atmosphere of
neglect and careless indifference
which permeated the whole elec-
tion process.
Unfortunately, the general stu-
dent body expressed anutter lack
of interest in the affair. Even
when the Albany Student Press
examined in detail the whole
comedy of errors, including elec-
tions supervised only by the can-
didates on the ballots, and the
incredible number of offices se-
cured by the members and fellow-
travelers of a single campus
fraternity, the public reaction
was a deafening sigh of indif-
ference.
Why this massive disinterest
in the way Student Association
is run? Does the difficulty lie in
the general student body, or in
the way Student Association is
constituted and run, or both?
The answer, I think, is some-
what complicated. It is not true
that Central Council’s duties and
powers are insignifigant. The
Student Tax monies are measur-
ed in tens of thousands ofdollars
annually, and go to support a wide
variety of services; the news-
paper, ee entertainment,
Baya ae and s
folsly, students should be
cnet about Student Asso-
ciation (especially Central Coun-
cil) functions. They are not, I
feel, because of certain defects
in the constitution and operat-
zz philosophy of the organiza-
ion.
First, Central Council is far
too much a creature of special
interests: the campus news
media, clubs, and organizations,
The constitution is written so as
to give these interests a dispro-
portionate voice in the Council,
and far too much of the Council’s
time is taken up with adminis-
trative detail concerning the bud-
geting of funds for these various
campus activities.
To be sure, this work must be
done, but it should not be the
Council’s major job. Central
Council could, and should be a
major center of innovation and
creative conflict on campus.
Central Council itself should
be initiating the questions, the
complaints. Issues like the Draft,
University housing policies, stu-
dent conduct rules, academic re-
quirements, and Albany politics
are of concern to S.U.N.Y.A.
students, whether they know it
or not.
Unfortunately, Central Council
has a history of timidity and
know-nothing tendencies with re-
spect to these very issues. Far
from concerning itself with social
and political issues, Council(and
its subcommittees) have respond-
ed with maximum obstructive-
ness when other campus
organizations have attempted

Hilsman’s ‘To Move A Nation’ Seen
More Valuable Than Schlesinger
by Douglas Upham
One of the minor tragedies inflicted upon this nation by John F, Kennedy’s death
is the loss of the person who would best be able to write the history of his ad-
ministration. Several members of his administration and staff have already
written their remembrances of the period.
Arthur Schlesinger’s account, ‘“‘A Thousand Days,” focused mainly on foreign
affairs, with only brief sections devoted to domestic politics. Schlesinger’s
account conveys a deep
bias toward the president,
and in many areas seems
more like a press release
than a scholarly history.
Schlesinger’s book —_ also
suffers from the weakness of
trying to cover Kennedy’s in-
volvement with all areas of the
world in just one volume. This
causes important ares to be
over-condensed and the less im-
portant areas to be ‘padded’?
with high-sounding, but meaning-
less, prose.
A much more valuable book
focusing on foreign policy is
Roger Hilsman’s To Move A
Nation: The Politics of For-
eign Policy in the Adminis-
tration of John F. Kennedy.
Hilsman is a political scientist,
and, like Schlesinger, he was
drawn from the academic com-
munity into the administration.
His first job was as Director of
the Bureau of Intelligence and Re-
search in the State Department;
later he became Assistant Sec-
retary of State for Far Eastern
Affairs.
Hilsman had an inside view of
many decisions, and his second
position involved him with the
early decisions made in Viet-
nam. He was much more closely
involved than Schlesinger in the
day-to-day workings of the
government.
As the title states, Hilsman
concerns himself with the way in
which policy is decided. His
central thesis is that policy de-
cisions are often a struggle both
within the government and in the
general public to have a certain
viewpoint adopted as policy.
This struggle works in many
ways. Important issues are de-
pated in the press, and public
opinion must be heeded by Con-
gress and the President. Various
factions exist in Congress using
their influence over legislative
and budgetary matters to have
their viewpoints heeded.
Powerful lobbies and special
interest groups try to stir up
approval or rejections of specific
policy alternatives. And within
the government itself, certain
factions try tohave their opinions
turned into policy.
An interesting activity upon
which Hilsman places great em-
phasis is the process of ‘leak-
ing’? inside information to the
press as a way of forcing a
certain course of action to be
developed or squelched. Often
the information is distorted or
presented in an unfavorable
manner to embarass certain
officials.
In Vietriam, government offici-
als ‘*who were convinced that we
were losing the war and that it
would get worse if we continued
to support Diem leaked to Hal-
berstam, Browne, or Sheehan.
Those who felt we were winning,
or had a stake in feeling we were
winning, and wanted to go onsup-
porting Diem leaked to Mar-
guerite Higgins on her visits, or
to Alsop, or to one of the Hearst
reporters.’
Hilsman does not condemn the

Howard University, the site of
numerous demonstrations and
black power rallies last year,
apparently will not see an end to
campus protests until adminis-
trators surrender some of their
authority to students.
With classes just beginning this
week, Student Assembly Presi-
dent Ewart Brown already has
issued a statement serving notice
on the University that ‘the op-
pressive system which has
spawned the past year’s activi-
ties will no longer be tolerated.”
To start the school year off,
about 120 Howard students and
two faculty members walked out
of the formal opening-day speech
by President James M. Nabrit
Jr. Student leaders said they
were protesting ‘*100 years of
‘Oppression.””
After the walkout, Brown said,

All rights and power belong to a
small corps of administrators
who have used their absolute
authority to expel both faculty
and students who spoke out
against their dictatorship.”
Howard officials expelled 16
students and five faculty mem-
bers during the summer,
apparently because of their
political involyement last year.
The U.S. Court of Appeals has
ordered Howard to re-admit four
of the students, at least until a
hearing has been held on specific
charges,

Sports Editor
The school yvir has just begun, yet the Albany State
sports program has swung into high gear. There is no
question that the entire program is bigger and better
than ever before in the history of this university. All the
additions to the 67-68 sports year make it a wonder that
the too often heard general attitude of the student body
is that the University’s progress in its athletic program
lags far behind its advancement in academics.
This year, for the first time, swimming will be added
to the intercollegiate athletic program. The schedule, de-
signed for both men and women, will be carried out ona
club basis. In charge of the men’s swimming program is
Mr. Brian V. Kelly who did his doctoral work at Indiana
University, the school generally recognized as the col-
legiate swimming power of the nation. The pool will be
located in the new gym, scheduled to be ready October 15.
Some of the other features of the new gym which might be
considered ‘‘progress’’ when compared to Page which
reminded one of an armpit more than agymnasium are a
three court length basketball floor, a swimming pool, a
large wrestling room, and for the ladies, a mirror lined
modern dance room. These are just a few of the several
modern improvements the gym has to offer. Convenience
being another point worth mentioning — Whether you
consider the gym to be in Albany, Guilderland, or
Golonie, the fact remains it’s only minutes from the new
quads.
Thanks to the new gym, tournaments will be coming to
our own front door. The formal dedication of the gym will
be highlighted by consecutive basketball doubleheaders on
December 1 and 2. The teams involved are new to the
SUNYA hoop schedule and no doubt provide big time com-
petition. The annual four team Capital City Basketball
Tournament will be played in the new gym, taking the
tournament away frem its previous site, Siena’s Gibbons
Hall. That in itself is a moral victory.
As is swimming, track will go intercollegiate ona club
basis this year. R. Keith Munsey, alegendin his own time
at Albany, will be handling track while another coach will
be handling only the field events. Whereas the track club
did perform last year, it is the maiden season for the
field competitors. Since both swimming and track are
being run on a club basis, freshman and transfers are
eligible to compete.
Dane Booters Win Opener,
2-1 Victory Over Brooklyn
BROOKLYN —
by Dunc Nixon
First half goals by inside right Getachew Habteh-Yimer and
outside left Gary Swartout powered The Albany State soccer squad to a 2-1
win over Brooklyn Vollege on Saturday. The victory got the Joe Garcia coached
booters off on the right foot, and established a pattern which may become quite
common as the season progresses.
This pattern consists of a rugged and stringent defense headed by senior full-
backs Tim Jursak and Joe LaReau,
and centered around the play of goalie
Jerry Leggieri, and an offense of sudden bursts based on the speed and scoring
power of Habteh-Yimer, Swartout, and forwards Phil Kahn, Jay Watrous and
Dennis Jersey. But the emphasis on defense is highlighted by the fact that the
co-captains Jursak and Leggieri are both playing primarily defensive positions.
‘The Great Danes were
first on the scoreboard
in the Brooklyn encoun-
ter, scoring when, at 7:35
of the first period, Hab-
teh-Yimer took a pass
from Kahn and drove it
off the goalie’s hands and
into the nets.
Swartout upped the
count to 2-0, when at17:55
of the second period he
took a pass from Habteh-Yimer
and fired the ball past the goalie.
Coach Garcia started to sub-
stitute in the second half, and
late in the third period Brook-
lyn scored to close the gap to
21, but the Great Danes tight-
ened their defense, and a score-
less fourth quarter resulted in
the win.
Jerry Leggieri’s 12 saves and
the excellent play of the whole
fullback line of Jursak, La Reau,
John Compeau and Roger Saul
were the game’s most promis-
ing developments.
The Great Danes opened their
home schedule on Wednesday
when they hosted the Red Drag-
ons of Oneonta in a game which
unfortunately came just after
our deadline and thus can not be
reported here.

Coast Guard Wins X-Country,
Albany’s Roy Finishes First
by Tom Nixon
NEW LONDON — The Albany State Cross Country team, coached by R.K,
Munsey, suffered its first loss Saturday as they were edged by the Coast Guard
Academy, 25-32. This loss was the first time that the harriers have ever lost
their first meet of the year. Despite the setback, however, Munsey was not dis-
couraged as he received outstanding performances from sophomore Paul Roy of
Fulton and Mike Attwell a junior from Herkimer as they placed first and second
respectively. In addition to these two, senior Joe Keating and Junior Paul Breslin
and Don Beevers all turned in performances which portend a strong potential
regardless of their relatively low finish in this particular meet. Bob Mulvey,
last year’s most improved runner, didn’t finish in the top five, but Munsey
expects him and Jim Keating, one of last year’s best freshmen, both to be
challenging for top spots in future meets.
