Crime on campus up 100%;
Security force still only 31 men
by Al Senia
Incidents of crime on campus
have skyrocketed more than one
hundred percent in the past year,
according to James Connally,
chief of the SUNYA security
force. And the critical situation is
not apt-toritfiproye as there are-no
Pians to hire additional men.
This gloomy picture is the end
result of a variety of causes. Al-
though the amount of persons and
property protected by security
has increased over the past year,
the number of patrolmen has
stayed the same- thirty one
(grouped into three shifts).
Unbelievably, there is but one
investigator. He is responsible for
the follow-up work on EVERY:
CASE. Since most arrests are the
result of lengthy investigation,
there is an obvious problem.
All requests for increases have
been systematically turned down.
Furthermore, priority is placed
on keeping police at “fixed
posts,” which they cannot leave.
Thus the responsibility for vir-
tually all police patrolling falls on
the two patrol units. And a great
deal of THEIR time is occupied
by tasks such as transporting ill
students to the infirmary or hos-
pital. Last year, 730 such calls
were made, Each response ties up
one of the cars (half of the patrol-
ling force) for at least thirty min-
utes. Attempts to get a third
marked patroiling car or hire a |
Connally also cited a: dire need
for supervisors in each platoon to
assure cooperation and co-
ordinate efforts.
These requests, like the others,
are annually turned down by the
Bureau of the Budget.
‘And how does this bureaucratic
red tape effect the student? In
January of 1969, there were 21
thefts, Last January, there were
41, Criminal mischief cases in-
creased 60%, And burgularies
doubled. Yet, in typical Alice-
In-Wonderland fashion, during
peak crime hours only seven to
eight officers are on duty. One,
policeman each is stationed in the
lecture complex (usually a private
Burns guard), at the desk in se-
curity, at the library, fine arts cen-
ter, as a watchman, and in the two
cars. To put it simply, there are
scarcely enough bodies to fill the
posts.
Proposed Constitution
eliminates Greek vote
by Kathy Huseman
Reform of the present Student
Association Constitutiof was the
subject of discussion at last night’s
Central Council meeting.
The new constitution will be
present to the student body in a
referendum to be held March 23,
24, and 25.
One of the largest issues pro-
vided for in the new proposal is
for the elimination of com-
mission-appointed members on
Council. By this measure, all stu-
dents on Central Council would
be elected by the membership of
Student Association.
Two Council members would
also be appointed to each Com-
mission.
Under the present Constitu-
tion, Panhellenic Council has two
voting members on Council. The
revised Constitution calls for two
non-voting Panhellenic _repre-
sentatives.
Only one of the many Council
members who are Greeks voted
for the continuation of the pre-
sent policy.
It was generally felt that
changes were being attempted to
make Council more democratic,
The retention of special seats for
interest groups was thought to be
in violation of this aim.
The second installment of the
Constitutional Revision meetings
of Central Council will take place
next week. And the continuing
saga of long-winded trivia argu-
ments will reoccur when Council
reconvenes.
What can be done to reverse the
situation? As a start, the funds
used to hire private guards should
be diverted to the campus security
force. SUNYA police are generally
younger gnd are better acquainted
with campus problems,
Secondly, mobility should be
emphasized; patrolmen at “fixed
posts’’ should be allowed to patrol
even though certain people who
demand extra protection may be-
come upset.
But the real solution lies with
the student himself. As a start,
Chief Connally would like
SUNYA students to realize the
police are present to “perform a
service instead of being viewed as
unnecessary interference with stu-
dents.” Ultimately, that IS the
answer, for we must realize it is in
our interest to demand a stop to
the sacrificing of security needs.
The situation is reaching crisis
proportions. Past experience
shows that a concerned student
body is the way to cut through
administrative indifference.
by Dave Peck
Students at Albany State will soon be able to avail themselves of draft
counseling on campus. Central Council passed a bill on January 8,
which provides $30 to be used to set up a draft counseling library in the
Student Association office. Within a few weeks there will also be a
counselor available at all times.
The bill was introduced by Dave Neufeld, head of the Political and
Social Positions Committee. A bookshelf with limited materials has
already been set up in the Student Association office and more books
are expected shortly. Some of the booklets are for free and some for a
slight charge. Neufeld emphasizes that if 2 student can’t afford the
material he can have it for what ever he can afford, or for free.
The Albany Peace Center, along with PSP, plans to train: the draft
counselors. Anyone who would like to become a counselor should
come to CC 346 at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, February 17 for a short meeting
explaining the type of training one has to go through to become a draft
counselor. Those who can’t attend should call 7-8756.
Draft counseling is not draft evasion or resistance. A Counselor will
tell a student his options and his alternatives. He willnot tell a student
what to do and will not make any decisions for the student. Neufeld
feels that it is important not to
wait until the last moment for
draft counseling but to get it be-
fore you register. It ia also import-
ant that RA’s sould have some
knowledge about draft counseling.
In the past SUNYA students
who wanted advice on the draft
could go to the Albany Peace Cen-
ter or speak to a faculty member
who was a draft counselor.
SUNYA as an institution doesn’t
have any draft counseling for its
students. However, the college
does have a very large Placement
Office though, which will try to
find you a job and even a place in
the armed forces, when you grad-
uate. The Library only has four
books on the draft. The Book-
store has a few books on the draft
but at a higher price than the Stu-
dent Association. There is litera-
ture available in CC 346. Those
who want counseling should call
7-3430 and leave their name and
number.

State moves
on Blaine
Amendment
by Barry Kirschner
Movement has been taken in the
3tate Legislature to repeal the
‘Blaine Amendment.” which bans
the use of public funds for schools
with religious affiliations, in one
of’the first significant votes of this
session. The Senate voted 41-15
(14 of 15 dissenting votes coming
from Senators with constituencies
within New York City) in favor of
repeal.
In order to do away with the
Blaine provision, an amendment
to the New York State Constitu-
tion is needed. Amending the con-
stitution is needed. Amending the
constitution necessitates legisla-
tion passed by two separately
elected bodies plus approval of
voters in a statewide referendum.
Should the repeal be effected, it
would give the state the go-ahead
to subsidize parochial schools.
State appropriations to religiously
affiliated schools can also be seen
as a subsidy for parents seeking to
oid sending their children to an
integrated school system.
‘The state’s decision-makers will
be facing significant problems in
the upcoming weeks(before legis-
lators vacate Albany to reacquaint
themselves with their constituen-
cies.) Legislation concerning edu-
cation, drugs, and abortion reform
are among the most importent to
be debated in the Capital.
Being an election year, New
York State polities will feature an
exceptional amount of mud
slinging. Governor Rockefeller
who made his economy pitch last
year (5% across the board cuts),
may be seriously hurting in No-
vember, especially with com-
muters on the subways and Long
Island Rail Road.
‘Although educators, welfare re-
cipients, commuters, and the
cities have been crying out for
more state aid, the governor and
Republican legislative leaders have
promised no new taxes for this
year. Democratic leaders have de-

Interact breaks down barriers
between faculty and students
by Sharon Philipson
You say you're unhappy. Why?
Why are you here? Why are you
playing a role which you do not
like? You're lost in a world of
conerete and glass. What can you
do about it? Interact!
Loneliness is sad. Life is un-
certain. People are apathetic.
Faces, Strange faces. We see them
every day. Would you really be
happier any place else? Smile! Be
happy! It'll make you feel a lot
better,
So you've just failed three ex-
ams. So you don’t get along with
your roommate. Go out! Explore!
Communicate! Don’t be afraid!
Love, you may ask yourself, will
T ever find it? Will I ever know the
companionship, the affection of
someone who accepts me for what
T am and who enjoys being with
me? Friend, go out and find it.
What's holding you back?
Albany student to study future
of State University system
by Vicki Zelden
Doug Goldschmidt, an under-
graduate at the University and a
member of the University Senate,
has been named by Chancellor
Samuel B. Gould to a panel to
research the goals and future of
the entire State University system.
Chancellor Gould announced
the establishment of the “Panel
on University Purposes” to look
into the University’s aims and ob-
jectives and discuss specific topics
affecting its future, such as the
much debated open admissions
proposal.
Goldschmidt, a senior political
science major from Elmont, L.L,
is a member of the national de-
bate club honorary TKADSR, and
has been actively involved in the
student-faculty -committee plan-
ning a new General College.
The Chancellor’s panel consists
of some 50 members, including
community leaders, legislators,
educators and six students, each
from different state university
campuses. Goldschmidt, a tem-
porary member of the panel itself,
is a member of the committee
doing research on universities’
trends and changes in all areas.
‘The information gathered by this
group is then submitted to the
panel for discussion and and
analysis.
The task of the panel has been
divided into six general areas.
“The Changing Educational Man-
date” is one. Its goal is to realize
and project what high school level
achievement students entering the
University will have. And, with
this projection, be able to forsee
what courses will be needed at the
college level in the future.
“The Students and the Univer-
sity” is an area that will sider
the University’s responsibilities to
the student as well as to his par-
ents. This division will also at-
tempt to define student responsi-
bilities and rights.
“The University’s Role in
Society” is a topic dealing with
the questions of what responsi-
bilities does the University have to
the society, and how much of a
role should the society play in
shaping the University.
There then is the topic entitled
“The Advancement of Know-
ledge” which just might be daring
enough to analyze teaching tech-
niques. This topic also includes
questions on research and its ulti-
mate effects on the University and
society.
“The Prospects of Support” is
an area concerned with finding
out where and how aid will come
in the future. It is also involved in
discovering how University act-
ions may or may not affect the
supply of aid.
The last topic of study, entitled
“Structure and Governance” is in-
volved in discovering what the
best form of University ad-
ministration is, It. is an attempt
to discover what roles in policy
formulation should be assigned to
students, faculty, administrators,
and community groups.

The major goal of the Chan-
cellor’s “Panel on University Pur-
pose” seems to be that of pro-
jection. Projection so that the
University can be and will be in
the years to come “all that it
should be.” It is an attempt at
anticipation rather than waiting
for that which could be an-
ticipated to come unexpectedly.

monstrated a willingness to in-
crease spending but being out of
power, this is pure rhetoric.
Should the Republicans wish to
maintain their dominance in each
house of the legislature as well as
the governor's office, it would be
to their advantage to change a
status quo many are disgusted
with.
Mayor
Corning’s
Coming
Are you content to go from one
class to another, to study, to eat
and to sleep? There is so much
more to life than this. Get out and
discover the vast world which
exists beyond the limits of this
university. Interact! It’s a pleasant
experience.
Lie down, close your eyes,
relax. Now stand up and with
your eyes still closed, feel your
way around the room. Look for a
partner. Communicate. These in-
structions were given to all those
who attended the Interact-- a time
when, with trained group leaders,
people in the University can inter-
act with one another in a positive
manner, Why Interact? “Because
everyone in the University Com-
munity has asked-- demanded that
people listened, talk, interact in
order that learning be vital, viable,
and relevant.” This was the pur-
pose as stated by the formulating
committee of Interact.
Those students faculty, and ad-
ministrators that attended Inter-
act were subject to an almost
mystical process of mingling. The
idea was to interact, first with the
group as a whole. Then each per-
son was to find a partner and talk
to him, ask him questions. What
makes you happy, sad? What are
you afraid of? What do you want
most out of life?
‘The next step was for each pair
to find another pair. Each mem-
ber of the quartet then talked
about what he was most ashamed
of and most proud of. Then two
quartets got together. In this
group of eight came the ultimate
interaction. What all the varied
discussion boiled down to was the
conclusion that there was a need
for increased communication and
interaction.
The event concluded with a few
exercises which tested one’s trust
of the friends one had made.
Finally everyone was given the op-
portunity to say or do anything
he felt like saying or doing.
This innovative, novel approach
is a means by which one can break
down the barriers between faculty
and faculty, student and student,
and student and faculty. It was
developed in a world where closer
communication between people is
needed. There is something about
Interacts which might bring about
a better University, perhaps even a
better world.

‘Save Gerry Wagner’
by Carol Hughes
“Save Gerry Wagner” the signs
read, and on Tuesday afternoon,
some 50 ‘friends of Gerry’ met for
that purpose. Wagner’s personal
position was explained, and sev-
eral suggestions for student action
initiated at the session. Wagner
has not been given term renewal,
and expects to take legal action to
have this decision reversed.
A significant debate developed
over whether students should act
for Wagner as an individual case,
or as part of a larger issue. Con-
cern was voiced that the situation
reflected a dangerous pattern of
disregarding student opinion mak-
ing University decisions.
Similiarities between Wagner's
denial of term renewal, the situa-
tion of Waterman and Rhodes
last year, and the present dif-
ficulty faced by Tucker in the His-
tory Department also were dis-
cussed.

Information was deemed the
most pressing problem. “Rumors
spread faster than real problems,”
one student complained.
An open meeting will be held
Thursday evening in the Lecture
Center for further planning and to
hopefully broaden student sup-
port. Advertising in the ASP and
on WSUA will be utilized to
“spread the word.”
A table will be set up in the
lobby of the Campus Center with
petitions urging University re-
versal of the decision denying
Wagner term renewal. Individuals
soliciting signatures will also be
expected to “tell people what is
happening,” and to further gain
support for student action.

Blues singer JOHNNY WINTER will appear here in concert on Friday, Feb. 21. Tickets go on sale in the
Since then he has given SRO
concerts at the Fillmore East, the
Fillmore West, the Scene and the
Boston Music Hall; been hailed by
the New York Times as “a charis-
matic performer” and “a fountain
of vintage blues;’ and been ac-
claimed by Stone whose first ar-
ticle brought him to national at-
tention, “as- **a. hun
dred-and-thirty-pound cross-eyed
albino with long fleecy hair play-
ing some of the gutsiest fluid
blues guitar you have ever heard.”
Winter has been into music as
long as he can remember. “Soon
as I could walk and talk, I was
singing and playing. My dad al-
ways encouraged my kid brother
Edgar and me, When I was eight,
Dad taught me the ukelele. I
learned the guitar when my hands
got bigger.”
Soon after his arrival in Chicago,
Winter recalls, “I didn’t know it at
the time, but I played with Barry
Goldberg. He was an organist with

a group called Robbie and The

field. Mike had a club called the
Fickle Pickle on State Street. He
booked in people that nobody
else would touch. As a result he
wasn’t making any money.
I walked up and started blowing
my harp (harmonica.) I didn’t
know anybody to talk to, so I
figured if I started playing, some-
body would come up and talk to
me.”
For six years, between playing
the Fickle Pickle in Chicago and
the Fillmore in New York, Winter
traveled throughout the South
with a large entertaining group.
“We traveled with kids, wives,
baby cribs, everything. It was like
a gypsy caravan, and it was getting
to be too much blues. Whatever
was happening musically at the
time, we played it. Soul, whatever
the drunks wanted to hear. Any-
thing but the blues. I’d sneak one
in every so often.”
Winter says that he’s “really
gassed to find people digging
blues” today. For those who in-
deed ‘‘dig” Winter’s sound, tickets
will go on sale Monday, February
16 in the Campus. Center. The
price is $2.50 with student tax
and $4.00 without.

Acceptance at the March 20-22
Yale Drama Festival is a well-
deserved accolade for Experi-
mental Theatre, which has, under
the direction of James M.
Leonard, of the Theatre faculty,
offered State University a full and
diversified program of theatre this
year through the Friday Night
Series in the Arena Theatre of the
PAC, and through its General
Theatre Workshop under James
Leonard and its Acting Workshop
under Joseph Balifior.
Experimental Theatre’s Friday
Night Series began this semester
with an original play by Steve Sul-
livan last week, THE LAST BUF-
FALO, and continues next week,
February 20, with REX, a musical
Parody of the Oedipus legend
from John Barth’s GILES GOAT-
BOY.
Directed by William Doscher,
REX will be produced with
original music composed by Ron
Abel.
Coffee House
To Perk Soon
by Linda Waters
“Whatever happened to the old
Coffee House Circuit in the Cam-
pus Center?” No doubt a number
of people have been wondering
about its sudden disappearance.
Let me alleviate all worry. The
Coffee House Circuit we all know
is dead- but it will soon be re-
placed by what promises to be an
even better system.
The original Circuit was actually
a national organization, with the
main office located in New York
City. The Campus Center Govern-
ing Board paid dues and was in
turn given membership, which
provided for one new show per
week. The performers were
housed on the campus and gave
two shows per night for the week
they were here. This worked for
the first few months since it was
inexpensive and relatively simple.
However, the nature of the
organization soon changed so that
the costs went up and the com-
plexity increased. Unfortunately,
the quality and temperament of
the performers did not improve
accordingly. Therefore, we with-
drew from the cireuit.
A new and better circuit is now
being formed. Beginning in March,
student and area talent will be or-
ganized into a series which will be
held on Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday nights in the Campus
Center Cafeteria. This will not
only cut expenses, but, as many
students agree, also provide a
wider range of talent, of a better
quality than was given towards
the end of the first Circuit.

State Quad Announces
Spring Film Schedule
State Quad’s Tower East Cine-
which recently moved to
ma,
Lecture Center Seven, has an-
nounced the following spring
movie schedule. All films, unless
otherwise noted, will be shown
Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and
10:00.
Phil Garvey, chairman of State
Quad Board, expressed the hope
that Lecture Center Seven would
be more convenient for students.
The new facility houses 500;
whereas, State Quad Flag Room
held a maximum of 200 people.
For the first show in the lecture
center, on the weekend of Feb-
ruary 6 and 7, no tickets were
sold, and 250 people entered in
15 minutes. Garvey intends to
open the doors a half hour before
show time, rather than an hour,
since seating should no longer be a
problem.

‘Topaz’ Shows Hitch’s Hand;
‘Coup
by Michael Nolan and Diana Dalley
TOPAZ, based on Leon Uris’
novel of the same name, is Alfred
Hitchcock’s first film in some
time. The critical acclaim the film
achieved must have been doubly
satisfying to the aging master
since many critics were consider-
ing him too old, a has-been.
The film opens in 1962 in Co-
penhagen where a top Russian in-
telligence agent is trying to defect
by seeking refuge in the American
embassy there. Once back in
Washington he tells American
agents that the Russians have been
sending imissles. and technicians
into Cuba. The Americans need
further verification of this. How-
ever, since the Bay of Pigs in-
vasion, America has not had any
diplomatic relations with Cubs;
thus an outside agent must be
used
The head American agent (John
Forsythe) has a friend in the
French diplomatic corps who
agrees to gather the necessary int
formation. The Frenchman doed
his job well; indeed a number of
exciting episodes ensue, however
not without reprisal to him. His
superiors think his friendship and
service to theAmericans totally’
unnecessary, especially since
France is trying to stay neutral in
the Cold War.
In short, he is called back to
France for a full investigation of
his activities. His future in the dip/
lomatie service looks bleak, until
the former Russianspy tells him of &
a group of high French official
who are passing classified informa;
tion along to the Russians un
the code name Topaz. If only he
could expose this ring of con-
spirators he could then justify his
closeness with the Americans.
Technically the film is quite a
departure from what Hitchcock
has done in the past. Since his last
film cinematic style has changed'a
great deal but Mr. Hitchcock
shows that he has not been passed
by. TOPAZ abounds in jump cuts
and other cinema verite methods.
Indeed there is one sequence in
which a women member of the
Cuban underground is exposed
and shot by her lover to keep her
from being tortured. Mr. Hitch-
cock does not handle this in one

shot as most directors would, or
even in two as some of the more
imaginative ones would, but cuts
four times ending with an ab-
solutely superb overhead shot of
her dead body. This is almost as if
he were subliminally flashing a
title which reads “don’t bury me
yet.””
ALL THE LOVING COUPLES
has been advertized as a spin off
of BOB & CAROL & TED &
ALICE. The intermittent com-
mericals throughout the film have
a tendency to remind one of PUT-
NEY SLOPE also. However, it is
not nearly as good or as funny as
BCTA or as tasteless and dis-
gusting as SLOPE. Actually

tle tilm waich will have moderate
success at the box office and then

les’ Doesn’t Make It
spend its remaining years as a
second feature late show. The film
is really quite laughable mostly
due to inept acting and terribly
trite dialog. The plot is, of course,
about wife swapping and contains
such gems as , “‘On the other side
of town there is a group that real-
ly swings... S. M. and everything.”
“Oh really, sado-masochism,””
Despite all its weaknesses
COUPLES actually has some good
moments. Some of the commer-
cials are mildly amusing, especial-
ly one about a greasy hair tonic
which can be used for other things
too. Also Richard Brook’s photo-
graphy is rather interesting, es-
Pecially when the film tries to ex-
plain each character’s ego by
means of fantasy. Yet despite
these good points, ALL THE
LOVING COUPLES doesn’t quite
make it; in fact it doesn’t even
come close.

LAAC bill
4 To the Editor:
Living Affairs Commission brought up a bill which
would grant commuter students preferred parking
over resident students. A check with security re-
vealed that there are approximately three times as
many commuter vehicles registered on campus as
resident vehicles.
The problem that arises becomes most severe
during the winter months. Resident students tend to
leave their cars parked in the first few rows of the
Student’s lot. This forces commuters to part further
away from campus. These commuters are required
to use their car each day, in order to attend classes.
While they walk through the winter weather, resi-
dent’s cars are left in the closest parking spots.
It is for these reasons that I proposed the bill to
LAAC. Although we realized the possibility that
some resident students use their cars for work or
student teaching, we believe this number to be rela-
tively small and feel that this new rule will benefit
those students who are totally dependent upon their
cars for school.
Comment
The Senate
After two months of debate the University Senate
finally voted on and approved a resolution con-
demning “‘the intervention of the United States in
the affairs of the nation of Vietnam.” The general
disorder of previous meeting (“These meetings are
‘bullshit’ ” one distraught faculty member screamed
at a December 1969 meeting) was replaced Feb-
tuary 10 by a productive and responsive atmos-
phere.
This was bound to happen. One point many critics
don’t seem to understand it that participatory dem-
oeracy requires periods of flux and self-appraisal. Or
to put it another way, everyone has to have their
say. During the last two months most factions in the
Senate had their say, and this proved yaluable:. The
vacuous arguments (The who-needs-a-Senate- anyw-
ay contention for example) and the meaningless
thetoric dissolved under the force of expediency:
time was short and issues were pressing.
The meeting was a breath of fresh air in the
interest department also. The blandness of “de-
corum” was replaced by the old English system of
speaking your mind. For example when John Reilly
of the English Department stood up to deride the
Senate for its “indirect morality,” people clapped
and people booed. The same thing happened when
Douglas Goldschmidt, a student, voiced opposition
to making the University responsible for individual
morality. Whoever the speaker and whatever his posi-
tion, each senator who spoke experienced the kind
of personal confrontaion needed in decision making.
Alas Tuesday’s meeting was a good catharsis for
all. Decisions were made, people spoke up, and a lot
of uptightness disappeared.
The City
The ASP will soon start covering Albany City
news. The City Editor’s first feature is an interview
with Mayor Erastus Corning.
We initiated this coverage for two reasons. First,
there was a lack of city news coverage in the past.
Second, many students living on campus have de-
veloped an Ivory Tower complex. These people
seem to think all their physical, social, and in-
tellectual needs are taken care of within the borders
of Perimeter Road. They see little need for explora-
tion.
Through city coverage we hope to do some tuning
on these students’ antennae.
Visitations: Counter-balance
by Joe Stringer

The War
To the Editor:
It seems to me that we veterans
who know mud, bombs and death
do not write many letters to the
newspapers.
Do you recall Mauldin’s Joe and
Willy cartoons? Those grimy,
cynical combat men portrayed a
theme that a lot of the homeguard
missed, “We're doing the job. But
don’t believe what you hear, and
only half of what you see.””
You won’t find Joe and Willy
condemning the youngsters who
Protest war. Turn the clock back
and Joe and Willy would be with
them.
The fire-eaters and go-get-em
Patriots are emotional, but not
convinced enough to throng the
recruiting offices. Not counting
aged congressmen, frustrated
housewives, munitions bene-
ficiaries, and brass who were
pruned of all imagination in their
plebe year, there still should be
enough bloodthirsty, gullible vol-
unteers to fill out the platoons.
You too can be a hero. The re-
cruiting offices are plentiful and
over-staffed. No waiting.
The pay is good. The military
gets 85 billion for war this year,
while 19 billion for domestic ser-
vices combined isyetoed.
You won’t meet Joe or Willy or
me at the training camp, We’ve
been there. And we’ve learned to
count.
We know that counting all
as North Vietnam has had
1,600,000 casualties since 1961.
In proportion, the U.S.A. would
have to lose 15 million to match
it. These N.V_losses are the great-
est in the history of warfare.
Fighting men often learn to re-
spect their enemy more than they
do their own leaders and _poli-
ticians. If Roger’s Rangers and the
Green Mountain Boys and Wash-
ington’s Continental Line were to
meet N.L.F. veterans they would
have much in common. They
would not have differences worth
fighting over.
This is what spurs the endless
flow of crude propaganda which
smothers American thought and
morality. Joe and Willy and I
don’t believe it -- and a lot of
Americans are ceasing to believe
it.
We citizen soldiers can win any
war that’s forced on us, but we
know a dishonorable overseas ad-
venture when we see: one.
Would George Washington and his
staff have called this murder?
We've dropped bombs by the ton
for 5 years. The civilian casualties
and murders are well- document-
ed.
Combat veterans rarely write to
newspapers. We do not sit in cab-
inet meetings or at peace talks.
Would events go differently if we
did?
Sincerely,
M. Daniels
Coming Tuesday:
with Mayor Corning
Interview
S
I represent no one but myself. I
do not purport to speak for con-
servatives, reactionaries, students,
or any other group. I speak only
for myself.
Likewise, when I vote for a per-
son to represent me, I expect him
to perform certain specific actions
for me. I do not expect him to
speak for me unless I direct him
to. I never expect him to think or
value for me.
This brings me to the Faculty
Senate resolution condemning the
Vietnam War, passed in a special
meeting Monday.
The purpose of the Faculty Sen-
ate was outline in the by-laws ap-
pearing in the 1969-70 Faculty
Handbook.
“Section 3: Responsibilities of
the Faculty:
3.1. The Faculty shall be res-
ponsible for the development of
the educational program of the
University and for the conduct of
the University’s instruction, re-
search and service programs, sub-
ject to the provisions of the New
York State Education Law and
the policies of the Board of Trus-
tees,
3.2 To discharge these responsi-
bilities the Faculty shall create a
Senate and shall delegate its
power to the Senate... .”
At no place in the by-laws is
there provision for the Faculty
Senate to present policy positions
on issues not concerning the
above responsibilities. Yet the
Senate has done just that. What
then is the nature of such an ac-
tion?
Every individual has the respon-
sibility of evaluating events
around him and acting on his
value choices, Too often today,
the individual allows the group to
speak for him, or allows his rep-
resentative to act outside his au-
thority.
There is only one type of person
who will accept such an offering:
the person who wants power over
others.
In this root is the true nature of
apathy and dictatorship. The per-
son who does not care to control
those who act for him, who ab-
dicates his responsibility to some-
one else is the WORST of the
apathetic and a threat, because of
his apathy, to representative
“government,
The person who
readily accepts a blank check to
extend his authority to act for his
constituent is the “father” of the
dictator.
The Faculty Senate has gone far
beyond its authority. It has spo-
ken out for the beliefs and morals
of the university as a whole. It
seems that I must remind the Sen-
ate that the University is not an
entity in itself, but a collection of
individuals, many of whom do not
support their action or their
stand. As long as one individual
disagrees with the stand of the
Senate, the Senate can not pos-
sibly represent him. This action,
then, is an outright usurpation of
the right of the individual to his
own beliefs and the expression of
those beliefs for himself.
If members of the Faculty Sen-
ate wish to take a stand on any
issue, they may circulate a peti-
tion for support. But to assume
the right to speak for any person
without his express consent is to
deny his right to speak for him-
self.

CAMPUS INTEREST OR NATIONAL IMPORT
The growth of o.tr university and the development of its character
depend to a large extent upon the administrative system of Con-
tinuing Appointmen'. Tenure is granted to those faculty members
who have proven themselves to be of the valuable material that builds
the character of a university. A position on the permanent faculty
ensures the continuity of the institution’s reputation. Decisions that
form the permanent faculty are made on the departmental level and
are reviewed through the ad-
ministrative ladder,
How much of the student voice
must be heard for the wisest con-
sideration of each case? When and
where are these voices transmitted
and received? Why is there so
often a heated discussion on new
departmental decisions?
The following article observes
one case in the question of tenure.
In the future, the ASP will publish
articles dealing with the de-
veloping elaboration of adminis-
tration policy and the de-
velopments among current issues.
By Carol Hughes
“We have to be indulgent. The
University is doing its best to keep
pace and to see that things are
done properly.” With this com-
ment Dr. Clara Tucker of the His-
tory Department succinctly and
uniquely defined her attitude
toward the issue of her being de-
nied tenure.
Finding herself at the center of
a large student movement to have
the University’s denial of tenure
reversed, Dr. Tucker has become a
rallying point for some advocates
of greater student power in Uni-
versity decisions. Like Gerry Wag-
mer, and the Waterman .and
Rhodes case of last year, Dr.
Tucker’s case reflects a negation
of student wants and needs.
Dr. Tucker personally intends to
accept whatever decision the Uni-
versity delivers. Her case. is. pre-
sently being reviewed by the Uni-
versity Committee on Continuing
Appointments.
In response to student protest,
as manifested in the action of the
History Students Association, the
History Department reviewed Dr.
“PUBLISH OR PERISH”
Publicity by the History Stu-
dents Association attempted to
stereotype the issue as a matter of
“Publish or perish,” a label which
Dr. Tucker strongly disputed. She
termed it “a crude way to put it
and not a very accurate one.”
“The issue is perhaps put better
in terms of a question. The de-
partment is going to grow, de-
velop, and increase in excellence.
In considering retaining faculty
members, the department should
ask the question: “How well suit-
ed will this person be to serve the
department in the future?”
According to the History Stu-
dents Association, a group that
spearheaded the move to save Dr.
Tucker, Tucker’s excellence as a
teacher was overlooked in con-
siderations of her lack of publica-
tion. Dr. Tucker is now unpub-
lished, although she stated that
she is presently at work towards
some future publication. Her con-
ception of the role of the teacher
is significant, for the student
group contends (as published in
the December 16, 1969 issue of
the Albany Student Press):
“Dr. Clara Tucker is one of the
few outstanding undergraduate
teachers.... Her classes are always
filled to capacity: a result not
only of her popularity, but a tes-
tament to her ability as a teacher.

She has inspired students to learn
and continue in their study of his-
tory.”
Dr. Tucker has a high regard for
teaching and the responsibilities
of the teacher to her students.
However, she argues, quite sur-
prisingly, that students’ interest
might be overlooked in favor of
higher criteria.
“Students are concerned with
problems now. The administration
is committed to the future. It is
difficult to reconcile the two.”
STUDENT ACTION
Dr. Tucker’s acquiescent atti-
tude prompted a request for her
opinion of the student action in
her behalf, since she had state that
she would comply to the Univer-
sity’s decision without attempts
toward legal action. Although she
personally appreciated the stu-
dents’ efforts for her benefit she
personally has chosen to remain
uninvolved in their activities.
Nevertheless, Dr. Tucker views
the student action as positive.
Through her personal service on
the Student Affairs Council, she
appreciates the need for students
to express their opinions.
However, she stated that the
many avenues of expression now
being open to students should be
the means of making their views
known.
Dr. Tucker also introduced an
interesting aspect of the student
movement in her case. She ques-
tioned student understanding of
what criteria were used in recom-
mending a particular faculty mem-
ber for tenure.
TENURE QUESTION
‘The University is changing in its
development into a large institu-
tion. Along with this is a “move
towards generally accepted stand-
ards,” especially in the context of
granting tenure.
Most tenure recommendations
are made in accordance with the
criteria established by the Ameri-
can Association of University Pro-
fessors, with which most college
instructors are familiar. The Uni-
versity’s new guidelines, soon to
be studied by the University Sen-
ate, follow those ideas quite close-
ly.
Furthermore, it is doubtful
where Dr. Tucker’s case may be
thought of as a blow to student
need. Besides the evaluation of
present achievements, the depart-
ment is compelled to consider the
future.
“Just because a person is hired
for a term does not mean that he
will be given a job until he re-
tires,” Dr. Tucker reiterated.
If, as a result of student ef-
forts and departmental attempts
to have the Tucker case reviewed,
the University reverses its decision
and grants her tenure, what would
be her feelings about staying on at
this institution?
“If I didn’t feel that I could
respect the department, students
and faculty, I wouln’t stay. I
would look for another job....”
WILL COMPLY
All in all, Dr. Tucker feels that
she has been treated fairly by her
department. Although she hopes
for a favorable response, she plans
to accept whatever decision the
University committee renders.
Petitions have been circuateu;
meetings have been held. Con-
cerned students have spread their
views to all of the University com-
munity. Dr. Tucker’s excellence as
a teacher has been lauded. (As one
of her former students
put it: “She’s excellent, and
coming from one of the two stu-
dents who failed her course, that’s
quite a testimonial.”) The Depart-
ment of History has sent its re-
commendation. Hopefully the Uni-
versity will wisely consider these
aspects of the question in making
its final decision.

Danes are Victorious :
by Jay Marshall
Tuesday night the Albany STate
basketball team broke a two game
losing streak by defeating New
Paltz 71-55. The team was coming
off a tough loss to Cortland last
Saturday which as Coach Sauers
admitted, took a lot out of the
team. The team did not shoot
very well, but was offset by the
usual tight defense and good re-
bounding.
New Paltz had a decided height
advantage throughout the game.
Albany attempted to counteract
this height problem by playing a
running, pressing game. The press
was effective, however State failed
to convert on many fast-freak
situations. Coach Sauers readily
admits that the Danes are not a
running team, but such a situation
calls for the smaller team to play a
running game. Jack Jordan scored
nine of his thirteen points in the
first half as Albany jumped out to
a 33-21 advantage at intermission.
After half-time Jack Adams hit
eight quick points preventing New
Paltz from closing the lead.
Adams and Al Reid, who paced all
scorers with nineteen points, led
the attack in the second half as
Albany pulled away.
The important play of the re-
serves was a key in Albany's suc-
cess, Ed Arsenau, displaying more
confidence than in the beginning
of the season and Mike Hill both
came off the bench and contri-
buted in the victory. Hill showed
a willingness to battle under the
boards and, along with Jordan,
Steve Sheehan, and Reid, helped
Albany outrebound New Paltz.
After the game, Sauers commend-
ed the play of the subs and added
that forward Jim Sandy has been
the most valuable replacement,
but wasn’t used much against New
Paltz because none of the for-
wards were in foul trouble.
Those who arrived at the start
of the varsity game missed half
the show. The freshmen team,
now 10-3, ran over the New Paltz
Frosh 92-55."The Freshmen fea-
tured a balanced attack with the
starters averaging around ten
points each per game. The team
also has excellent depth and
Coach Lewis substitutes freely.
Coach Sauers believes at least five
players will move up to the varsity
next year. They will face a tough
opponent Saturday night in the
Siena Frosh. At the end of the
Frosh game, the Albany varsity
came onto the floor and warmed
up to the beat of Sly and the
Family Stone and other records.
The team held a meeting Monday
and decided to add some music to
the warm-ups. Sauers did not
object so, courtesy of Hill, music
was supplied.
Saturday “night, Albany meets
its traditional rival, Siena. The In-
dians are led by 6-7 center Bob
Hermann who poses a large prob-
lem for the Albany defense. Ac-
cording to Sauers, Albany was
“flat” against New Paltz and must
play better to win Saturday night.
Come early and enjoy the show.
Grapplers edged by Post 22-18
The Albany State wrestling
team dropped a close 22-18 de-
cision to the Pioneers from C.W.
Post on Wednesday. The loss left
the matmen with an overall 1-6
record.
The Danes registered three pins
and one decision in totaling up
their 18 points. Pinning their op-
ponents were sophomore Jim
Nightingale, 158 tbs.; sophomore
Mike Mueller, 190 Ibs and fresh-
man heavyweight Herman Hil-
liard. The other victory went to
freshman Phil Mims, 167 lbs., who
decisioned his man 12-5.
Just. as, Coach Garcia was mel-
lowing in the good fortune of
having a 100% healthy team, a
major setback befell the grapplers
as Tim Coons injured his knee and
A M
AMIA basketball continued this
week on its road to determining
the teams in each league that will
participate in the championship
playoff series.
In League I, EOP I continued to
set the pace with a 53-25 pasting
of STB. The winners were paced
by Carl Jones and Bobby Wright
who notched 14 and12 points re-
spectively. Jeff Soperstone led
STB with 8 markers. Potter Blub
continued to follow close behind
in second place winning from the
Underdogs by forfeit. This left
EOP with an unblem shed 9-0
slate, one game in front of Potter
which is 8-1.
In League ILA action, KB,
paced by Alan Zaremba and Kurt
Legler upended APA 55-33. Doug
was unable to compete in the Post
contest. As the Coach sees it, the
absence of Tim could have been
the deciding factor in the out-
come of the match.
Despite the unimpressive record
amassed up to this point in the
season, several things should be
noted about this year’s team. A
lack of depth and experience can-
not be compensated in any way
and hits hardest in a sport like
wrestling. Not only does it
eliminate the much needed indi-
vidual competition but has forced
the wrestlers in the lower: weight
classes to compete one.class above
their regular weight. Nevertheless
Coach Garcia is quite proud of the
job these boys are doing under
such conditions.
I A
Chesser tallied 14 points for the
losers. League IB play saw the
Nads, behing Rich Nussbaum’s 20
points, whip crow I by a 56-39
count. Ron Brooks scored 15 for
the losers.
The team is young, which leads
the Coach to believe that the fu-
ture of wrestling looks favorable.
The spirit and desire are there and
invaluable experience is being ob-
tained every day.
As for the near future, the mat-
men face New Paltz, Harpur, and
Marist, three matches Coach Gar-
cia looks to as excellent chances .
