Cards Deck Tracksters
by Jon Lafayette
Coach Bob Munsey said it all
when he said “That's oneof the great
things about track meets, even ifyou
lose, someone can still have an out-
standing performance that he can be
proud of.” Despite coming in second
ina four-way meet, beating Oswego
and Oneonta but being out pointed
by Plattsburgh, some individual per-
formances sparkled for Albany.
Jim Pollard set a track record and
aan Albany team record by running
the 120 yard high hurdles in 14.9
seconds, smashing the old record of
15.3, set only a week ago by Albiny’s
Dave Cole, This meet also saw Rudy
Vido qualify for the NCAA national
tournament, held this year at
Baldwin-Williams College in Berea,
Ohio, by putting the shot 50° 4
Carlo Cheribino may also have
qualified, but discrepancies in the
published qualifying times cloud the
issue, One copy of the rules sets the
qualifying mark at30 minutes and 30
seconds; another at 30:25. Curlo's
time of 30:29 may or may not be
good enough but Couch Munsey
promises “he'll get enough chances
to qualify, und he will.”

In the long jump, there were

Brian Davis ran the mile in 4:25.1

The three mile was a great race to
watch, Carlo Cheribino, who had
won the six miles earlier in the meet,
was the lone Albany entry versus
four Plattsburgh runners. For nine
laps the four Plattsburgh runners
stayed in a close formation, taking
turns in first, with Cheribino staying
right behind them. With two laps

He just didn’t have enough left so

Some Excitement
Despite the fact that Albany did
not place in any of the last three
events, (Plattsburgh won all three)
there was some excitement, Joe
Demarie, a pole vaulter from
Plattsburgh broke a track record
that had stood for six years, making
it the oldest existing Atbany track
record, Demarie’s vault of 149"
broke the record held by Greg Olson
of Boston State which was set in
1969.
Coach Munsey was proud of the

Colgate did all the scoring in the

Bob Heath both hit the nets for the
Red Raiders and they took a 5-4 lead
into the lockeroom at the half.
Neither team really asserted itself

Albany still was having their
troubles early in the fourth quarter.

game.
Then Dennis Walsh tied the game

added a final score to ice the gamie

President Louis T. Benezet made a rare appearance before Central Council
last Wednesday night in a somewhat belated gesture of unity between
students and administrators who, as a result of the recent budget cuts, have
found themselves bound in an urgent atmosphere of cooperation.
Benezet made promises for increased student involvement in the budgetary
process. “Ifthe Student Association has representatives here in June, we will
gladly include them," he said, referring (o plans for the 1976-77 budget which
will start in June, It remains to be seen whether the future President Fields is
of the same mind
Much emphasis was placed on the erroneous affluent image that many
legislators have of SUNYA, as 4 cause of disproportionate cuts it has
received, compared to th university centers, “There are forees in the
machinery of government that have chosen to consider Albany as
overendowed,” said Benezet, who asserts that, as a result, “we have been
selectively and discriminately cut, and cut, and cut over the past three yeurs
by the legislature.”
Chancellor Boyer has promised that SUNYA will receive top priority in
the supplemental budget, scheduled to come up in late May, says Benezet
SUNYA is secking total restoration of the $804,000 cut. “Without
supplementary funds,” warns Benezet, “we are confronted with the
possibility of immediate retrenchment, which is a euphemism for firing
According to Benezet. many teachers’ jobs “are literally hanging in
the balance.”
Plans for increased student enrolment next year and in the years
following, will qualily SUNYA for additional funds. But recent problems
withovererowded dorms have rtised important questionsas to where thes
students will be housed.
Benezet assured Council that “We don't want to pack them into this
podium or into the quads." He mentioned University assistance in fin
appropriate off-campus housing as one possible alternative.
Dean of Student Affairs Neil Brown says, “We don’t plan a repeat of the
fall of "74," When asked if students would be housed in lounges or tripled up
next year, heavoided any definite comitment, sayingonly, “As faras I see it,
our every effort will be against that,” According to Brown, thereare “a dozen
or so ideas” now beingconsidered for easingthe dorm situation, Hedeclined,
however, to give them specifically.
“The good news is, our dorms won't be empty next year,” said Brown,
adding reluctantly, “The bad news is that about 300 more upper level
students have opted to stay on campus.” When added to the larger freshman
class anticipated for next year, the resulting situation is one that has no easy
solutions,
“Ifall the projections that we see noware accurate, there might be as many
as 300, 400 or $00 [extra] people who apply to live in residence halls,

financial aids situation, Whitlock
suid, “There are changes that

said many students are unaware of
loans or grants for which they can
apply.
Whitlock said an overall change in
financial aids this year involves the

So more students will be eligible for

Unlike the job situation, Whitlock
said things may improve in the finan-

by Susan Michael
The three major concerns of
government this year are energy, en-
vironment, and the economy. Most
bills that havea positive effectin one
of these areas seem to have an
adverse effect in the others. One type
of legislation that does not have this
drawback, according to NYPIRG is
"Bottle Bill”, A bottle bill would re~
quire the use of returnable con-
tainers for beer and soft drinks.
‘Among other things such a bill
would help to clean up the environ-
ment, save the consumer money
(perhaps up to 35¢ on a six pack of
Coke), cut taxes used for solid waste
disposal by $14,000 a year, and con-
serve natural resources.
Last Tuesday, April 15, Fredda

NYPIRG testified in favor of such a
bill now before a joint committee of

for a “certified” bottle which becau:
of its lack of any permanent, distin

Smith-Cooperman Bill would also
ban flip tops and the plastic rings
used to hold six packs of beer
together. This bill which would
allow for the establishment of in-
dependent redemption centers has a
three year effective date, which
means that if it were passed
tomorrow it would not go into effect
until April 23, 1978,
The major thrust of Alper's
testimony was the need to balance
the gains to all concerned against in-
dustry losses. “If all the undisputed
energy savings, the proven savings to
millions of consumers, and the ob-
vious environmental benefits to an
entire state are measured against the
alleged costs to a handful of people,
there is no doubt which way the
scales must tip.” Also important was

that she has established such a rap-

Salant stated, “The president and
the vice-president are worlds apart.”
Salant sees improved com-

ecutive positions as instrumental in
SA's future success as a governing
body. Salant added, “It's between

Wax. stressed the idea that
members of student government
shouldn't “hassle over internal af-
fairs." Wax indicated that he would
establish a more “informal tone” in
student government, “I do things a
bit differently,” he explained. “1
would put more reliance in the peo-
ple I delegate responsibility to, This
way, more things get done, the
students are served better and
receive more attention.”
O'Brien feels that the presidency
should be more “open.” “People like
to be able to get a hold of the presi-
dent,” he commented. “I'm the only
candidate who is living on campus.
The president should make sure that
he knows what's going on in the
groups, Communication is the im-
portant thing.”
Bauman was also concerned with
the communicative struggles which
hamper SA's efficiency. “My main
job as president would beto open the
lines of communication within SA to
the administration, the Faculty-
Student Association, EOPSA, and
other groups in SA.” Bauman
further stated that he would strive
for a “tight feeling within SA that we
are friends.” He feels that this would
encompass a full time devotion to
problems as “friends, not political
adversaries.”
Meckler summed up SA's troubles
this year as problems of “com-
munication and organization.” *No
one was really getting together on
issues,” he commented. “What we
had was « lot of politicians running
around playing politics, but little
work getting done.” Meckler feels
that there is a need to get together
more with the student groups.
While realizing that the vice-
president must be responsive to the
needs of the students, Meckler was
quick to point out that there are cer-
tain limitations to this respon-
siveness, according to his way of
thinking. “You get to know parts of
issues that students don’t know
about. In representing the student
interest you have a certain respon-
sibility 10 say what the average stu-
dent wants, On someissues you have
to go above that, but you are still
responsible for justifying your
decisions to the students.”
Levenson feels that SA needs
more feedback from the student
body. He believes that the present
student government is not respon-
sive enough to the students’ needs.
Levenson thinks that he can make
the vice-presidency work to increase
communications between students
and government. “As Ombudsman,”
he explained, “I've leamed a lot
about how SA works and how the

PRESIDENTIAL SHAFT
New York's Village Voice
newspaper reports that future Un-
ited States Presidents may be given a
big shaft.
The Voicesays that a Washington,
D.C., contractor is designing a new
method of protecting the President
in the event of a nuc
design under study is reportedly a
6000-foot elevator shaft that would
carry the chief executive more than a
mile below the carth’s surface in six
The present plan to cope with a
nuclear emergency is to rush the
President through a series of tunnels
and rapid exit facilities to Andrews
Air Force Base. Once there, the
President would climb aboard a so-
called “doomsday flight machine
jet equipped with sophisticated
radar equipment and military com
mand facilities. He would then be
flown out to the stratosphere tocon-
duct the U.S. side of the war,
s that the shaft is be-
ing proposed because military
strategists fear the President might
not have enough time to get aboard
an airplane before the-first bombs
hit Washington.
AS a result, strategists are con-
sidering the construction of the
6000-foot-<leep shaft directly under
the White Huse that would enable
the President of the U.S. tosurvivea
direct bombing hit at 1600 Penn:
sylvania A
One problem, the Voicesays, is that
the shaft will require the President to
descend at the rate of 1000 feet per
minute. The Newspaper reports that,
‘at that speed, the President may
reach the bottom in such a dizzy
state he will be unable to make
coherent decisions about the proper
military response.

Tommy’s Rebirth:
a See it..
Director Ken Russell has taken the Who's eight year old rock opera, Tommy, and beaten,
stretched, exaggerated, torn apart, and put it back together in his own cockeyed way.
The resultsare effectiveas entertainment ona large scale, although much of the meaning of the
piece has been lost through the many changes and many years. When Tommy first appeared it
was taken as proof that rock could be respectable, and the story of a Messiah who brought the
truth packaged in a pinball machine was part of the religious movement of many young people of
the late Sixties. Today there are no great movements, and most of the young have sunken into
apathy. Sinee Tommy has only been made into a film, its old meaning is lost, and only the
sensory delights of flashy cinema and hard hitting rock music are left
Russell's very heavy handed attempt at a satire of Christianity includes crosses with pinballs
atop them, rebirths and baptisms in the ocean, a bleeding Tommy punctured by needle wounds,
and walks on water. Apparently afraid that Tommy's audience would not catch the subtle
imagery, Russell threw in everything he could find.
Round, spherical images, reminiscent of pinballs also dominate the movie, in a much more
effective use of imagery. Tommy's mother, Nora (Ann- Margaret) wears silver and faceted balls
for earrings. The camera continually pans over to giant mirror balls in amusement parks and
concert halls. When she is informed of her husbands death, Nora fails in a dead [ knocking

In antiquity, legends of miraculous conception, birth,
or childhood exploits readily attached themselves to the
records of those who as adults accomplished great deeds
ccupied high positions. This was certainly true of the
Greek hero Heracles. His mother Alemena and her hus-
band Amphitryon, king of Tiryns, were livingasexilesin
Thebes. While Amphitryon was away ona military cam-
paign Alcmena’s beauty was noticed by Zeus, who chose
her for the last of his mortal concubines and desired to
make her the mother of a great hero. Assuming the form
of Amphitryon Zeus visited Alemena and satisfied his
desire. That same night, or perhaps the following night,
the real Amphitryon returned from his campaign and
also slept with Alemena. Thus Alemena conceived twin
boys by different fathers.
“Heracles” means “glory of Hera,” but Hera was
Heracles’ implacable enemy. The jealous consort of Zeus
persecuted Heracles relentlessly, even before his birth. In
fact she tried to prevent the birth of the twit
successful in this effort: Alcmena delivered the boys, and
they were named Heracles and Iphicles. When the boys
were about cight months old, Hera placed two serpents
in their chamber one night. Iphicles noticed them first
and screamed. Heraclescalmly seized one serpent in each
hand and strangled them both, before Alemena and
Amphitryon rushed into the chamber. Now it was
perfectly clear which boy was the son of Zeus and which
the son of Amphitryon. Of the man: i

Fischer — Karpov? Not Quite !
by Jason “The Flying Rook” Braun
Last month, the chess world was
very disappointed to leam of
Fischer's refusal to play Karpov for
the World Chess Title. However, so
as to not let chess people down en-
tirely, Brian Green, a 1974 graduate
of SUNYA, and I decided to play a
match, Though the quality of the
games will be slightly lower than
Fischer-Karpov match, the fighting
spirit is there, as shown by the
following ame, our first.
‘The opening was characterized by
White's ingenious piece sacrifice
Black had the choice of keeping the
material to go into an inferior
endgame, (actually a middlegame
without queens). Black's counterat-
tack resulted in a drawn position.
However, White used up too much
time and his Mag fell three moves
before the time control of 40 moves
in two hours.

Lou Reed in Center Ring
by Spence Raggio
and Matt Kaufman
When Andy Warhol's Explodin
Plastic Inevitable hit New York, it
was immediately hailed as the ul-
timate in multi-media experience, a
psychedelic three ring circus. In the
center ring, of course, The Velvet
Underground. And at the center of
The Velvet Underground was Lou
Reed.
‘As songwriter and vocalist, Reed
set the style of the group—a brand of
decadent morbidity made
fashionable by Warhol in his anistic
and social endeavors. There were
songs like “Heroin” that earned him
the instant rejection of music critics
across the nation:
When Im rushing on my ran
And 1 feel just like Jesus’ son.
When I put a spike into my vein
Then Ill tell you things aren't
quite the same
But there are also cuts like “Sweet
Jane,” “Rock and Roll” and “White
Light/White Hi that have
become rock classics, that show Lou
Reed as just another driving rocker
with some strange ideas about lyrics
‘and vocal styles.
For a while there was a depres
sion, a self-imposed exile after the
disintegration of the Velvets. Then,
under the guidance, prodding and
production of David Bowie and
Mick Ronson, Lou Reed re-emerged
with a hit single, “Walk on the Wild
Side," and a solo album,
sent tour—Doug Yule, Bruce Yaw,
Martin Fogel, Michael Suchorsky—
and will be doing two shows here at
SUNYA on May 2, with String
Driven Thing. Watch the ASP for
details on ticket sales.

The lazy way

contact lenses.
by Melissa Caust
and Sandy Ellenbogen
The Gateway Diner, located on
Central Avenue at Colvin, is the
perfect example of what a diner
should be. The long hours and fast
service make it comparable to a
truckstop. The friendly service is
reminiscent of a neighborhood
luncheonette and the excellent food
and baked goods make it worth the
out of the way trek.

vary from day to day. 1
Fashioned Beef Stew ($2.90) com-
bines tasty, well cooked meat and
carrots with, unfortunately, canned
Potatoes and string beans in gravy
which is also probably canned. The
Lou Reed
with
stew is served with rolls,
2 green salad drenched with bottled
dressing,
The fresh ham ($3.30) was lean,
tender, and pleasantly flavored.
Both the ham and the gravy which
covered it, however, lacked distine-
tion, The accompanying dressing
was poor, A watery blob of canned
spinach and a thimble full of
applesauce completed the dish,
‘slong with a portion of excellent
home-fries.
University Concert Board presents
typical of the short order cookin;
An outstanding and novel prepara-
tion is French Toast made with two
slices of “challah”, a rich, braided
bread made with eggs (95e), It is
served with butter and Kraft “Table
Syrup", so named because it con-
tains absolutely nomaple syrup. The
cost of French Toast is hiked to
$2.10 with the addition of a small
bow! of canned blueberries: hardly a
worthwhile investment,
Eggs (90¢ for two eggs, any style)
are a good choice, especially when
combined with ham ($3.25), or steak
($4.65). The ham and eggs, forexam-
ple, in addition to two eggs and
toast, comes with the home-friesand
a generous portion of charcoa
broiled ham, whose smokey flavor
greatly enhances the dish
Other items of note include three
cheese blintzes with sour cream
(82.10), and a Reuben sandwich
(52.15) consisting of gilled cored
beef, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese on
rye bread. Gateway’s versions of
both of these are quite good, though
not up to the clai...r af their French
Toast. A quarter pound charcoal
broiled hamburger costs 90e and the
Deluxe hamburger, $1.75 includes
french fries and trimmings. A slice of
cheese adds 10¢ to the price of either
of the above.
Popular Desserts
Desserts are Gateway's forte.
Their recipe for cheese cake (80e)
seems to vary, but the result is in-
variably delicious. The first time we
tried it, itwas sweet and grainy, most
recently it was moist, smooth, and
creamy, Their huge strawberry tart
(8Se) is great if you love French
cream, Their cream is not overly
sweet and was covered by large, ripe,
luscious strawberries, A yery pop- |
ular item is the mammoth chocolate
chip cookie (35e), which is cakier
than Freihofer's, the local barometer
for evaluating chocolate chip |
cookies,
Gateway serves a full line of
astries, ice cream puddings and
other desserts, The grape nut and the
bread custard puddings (50¢) are
both interesting and surprisingly
good.

much of the other backing
music from the film has been released on a
patate album. Unfortunately, the
elimination of this much needed material is a
‘major flaw in the album. It places an undue
‘amount of emphasis on the vocals,
unfortunate considering the army of
musicians that The Who put together for the
film: Such names as: Eric Clapton, Ronnie
Wood, Elton John, Nicky Hopkins, Mick
Ralphs, and Tony Newman, This is
compounded further by the mixing of the
album. Since the story line is totally dependent
on the lyrics, the vocals have been pushed way
out in front of the instruments.
On..the original, Townshend and Daltrey

version was intelligently cast in that all of the
vocalists are (or claim to be) professional
singers, Ken Russell's decision, though, to
employ actors in some of the principle roles
dealt a severe blow to the quality of Tommy
musically. Oliver Reed sings the part of Frank
Hobbs, the lover, and it’sa mistake right from
the beginning. Reed has absolutely no contra!

embarrassing to listen to him, Ann-Margaret

Nora Walker, Tommy's mother, She has a
night-club singer's voice, without the extended
range or control that rock demands, but she
does manage to get through her numbers with,
a minimum amount of difficulty. As the
specialist, Jick ‘Nicholson has possibly the
best song on the album, but he gives a low-key.

song.

H's just too bad he couldn't have shown more
insight with the two major roles.
Townshend's re-arrangements are
interesting in that he substitutes other
instruments for his guitar, the foundation of
the original Tommy. Many times, these re-
worked versions’are performed better than
their predecessors. “Eyesight to the Blind”, for
example, Eric Clapton's guitar leads are a
definite boost for the song, and arc
reminiscent to those he had done in his days
with Cream.
When it came to writing “Cousin Kevin”
and “Fiddle About", Townshend handed the
writing job over to John Smash- Your-Heud-
Againsi-the-Wall Entwistle because “I just
couldn't be crue! enough”. Both songs are well
performed on the soundtrack as they are on
the previous two Tomunys, but Keith Moon's
interpretation of Uncle Emic in “Fiddle

From the
Frog's Mouth
The Great
Platinum Hope
by Gene Carragee
In 1973, reseachers jubilantly came up with
@ solution to the problem of automobile
pollution. The solution seemed incredible,
utilizing a very simple and fundamental
concept of chemistry. The problem to a great
extent fiad been the incomplete oxidation of
petroleum, The much heralded “savior” was a
catalyst—the catalytic converter! But our
savior, as saviors are wont to be, was short
lived,
As far back as 1902, lead (actually tetraethyl
ead) had been added to gasoline to facilitate
oxidation, Fifty years later, it was determined
that the reason the lead was preventing
“knocking” was the fact that. it acted as a
catalytic surface on which the oxidation of
hydrocarbons could take place. The problem
with having the catalyst in the gasoline is that
the lead was emitt
The hazards of lag/in,the atmosphere had
already become it: For years, residents
of nothem California had complained of red
snow. About this time the catalytic converter
came into the world. Unfortunately, the
platinum of the converter (a very expensive
metal) was made useless upon contact with
lead. It was décided to forget about the lead
and look to the messianic converter to solve all
problems.
In 1974, the automobile manufacturers
announced, “the great platinum hope” had

arrived. ‘The. conve-ter. was described as a
mystical amulet tc “ve attached to each
‘automobile: “It could oxmit > to CO2; it
collld reduce NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide)to N2; it
walks; it talks; it will’ mind the kids on
weekends. . .”
But there was one tiny problem. The
converter also oxidized S02 (Sulfur dioxide)
to SO3 (sulfur trioxide). That seemed innocent
enough. However, the SO3 would combine
with water vapor in the exhaust fumesto form
sulfuric acid, which as everyone knows, is bad
stuff. People with asthma, emphysema and
other respiratory ailments soon found exactly
how bad it was.
‘What is particularly dangerous about the
acid laden exhaust is that the acid is not being
released in the form of a gas. Instead, the
catalytic converter provides, not only a perfect
site for the formation of sulfuric acid, but also
a perfect site for the condensation of a
concentrated gas. Thus, no sooner is the
gaseous acid formed as it comes down the
converter column, then it is condensed to a
liquid, As the remainder of the exhaust, water
vapor and carbon dioxide, flows: by the
converter, it whips up the liquid sulfuric acid
and expelis it from the exhaust pipe asa liquid
mist Sulfuric acid is a very corrosive
substance; it will corrode, and in fact dissolve,
metal, cloth, and most dangerously, lung and
eye tissue,
Actually, the car makers were not so
blatantly negligent. For, as they reasoned,
sulfur dioxide had been converted to sulfuris
acid before the converter had been installed.
However, this reaction took place in the upper
atmosphere and sulfuric acid was never found
in concentrated quantities. With the
converter, the acid is now released as a
concentrated mist at street level.
The auto industry now wants the oil
companies to get the sulfur out of the gasoline
before it reaches the pumps. Unfortunately,
the cost of this process is staggering. Congress
has extended the 1977 clean air standards one
more year to allow auto manufacturers to
recover form the converter folly. Chrysler has

A Longing for Freedom
by Richard Edebman
Jobat's curly blond hair falls easily on his shoulders. Together with his trim moustache the
wiry 5 feet 9 inch frame seems to embody an almost unnatural solitude. This peaceful facade is a
thin veil under which the festering pain of living a guarded and restricted life in East Germany is
supressed.
I met Jobst and his friend Rolf, a musician from West Berlin on acafeteria line in East Berlin,
Rolf, who is only allowed to pass through the “Wall' during the day, speaks excellent English and
acted as a translator between Jobst and myself.
After an initial paranoia that was justified by the claim that practically one in every ten persons
is a government informer, Jobst started to reveal some of the ground rules for life in a rigid
totalitarian state like East Germany. Any political activity that even questions “the powers that
be” will bring an endless stream of harassment to one’s self and family. The interrogators may
visit you at work which will arouse suspicion that you are an informer. There is no escape from
this life. Travel to western countries is forbidden except in cases of cultural exchange.
Escape over the borders is extremely difficult and dangerous. Jobst told me about a pianist he
knew, who attempted to escape into Czechoslovakia. He was caught by the border guards and as
4 punishment to him and deterrent to others his fingers were broken. This has prevented him
from ever regaining the mastery of the piano that he once had. Even if his escape had been
successful, that the police would probably take retribution against his family and friends is a
heavy price for freedom.
‘At 24, Jobst was trying to make a name for himself asa drummer. It was a long road and since
he had to work during the day in a factory, the time available for playing was limited. His
university education had only hardened his hatred for his country. The choice of courses is
severely restricted, and the material is obviously slanted. Even though he is one of a select few
who had theprivilegeto attend auniversity he refused to usc his enginceringskills for the state. So
instead of being co-opted and becoming one of an elite he is now a common factory worker.
He spoke of the brain washing that now takes place in the gradeschools, His daughterof four
would soon be entering school and his voice and sullen face conveyed a sense of loss when he told
ne that the children are taught to inform the ‘state’ of any persons who might be against it, The
possibility of his own flesh and blood turning against him is a recurrent nightmare.
Jobst wants to fee! free one day. His hope that he may become a good enough musician to
make an orchestra that travels in the West so he can have the opportunity to defect must not be
marred by political activity unfavorable to the “state.” His wife and child pose another problem
which he must also deal with. Members of family are not allowed to travel with the musician,
discouraging just the sort of thing he is contemplating.
He said that government officials shop in special stores that carry Western goods, Therefore
they can't possible be aware of the critical shortages of many consumer goods. The International
Music Festival held in East Berlin about a year and a half ago is good example of the uick of
‘adequate supplies. Jobst who didn't want to support the event was in the northern part of Eust
Germany on the Baltic Sea, He mused at the absence of both taxis and ice creath in the town
where he was staying. It was no secret that the taxis and ice cream machines had been moved to
East Berlin for the Festival, The government must have placed great importance on the two as

Collegium: Student leaders as irate taxpayers, . .
If I Don’t Benefit,
by Malcolm J. Sherman
To many students no one is more
contemptible than the suburban homeowner
who votes against school budgets, and who
opposes a variety of special programs which
range from help for the handicapped to
enrichment in the arts. Students are quick to
see through the rationalizations of irate
taxpayers, but they have been very slow to
perceive the growth of similar attitudes among
themselves, as reflected in the stands taken by
student politicians this year.
Then I Won't Pay!
Especially vulneralbe are programs, such as
aid for emotionally disturbed or physically
handicapped children, which are of direct
benefit ot only a small minority of taxpayers.
One also perceives, in the defeat of programs
of greatest benefit to poor or minority
children, a degree of hostility to these groups.
Taxpayers are therefore shortsightedly
refusing to pay for programs vital to thier own
children’s education, denying their
responsibility to support programs not of
direct benefit to themselves, and expressing
. . . lt is unsatisfactory for the Patroon Room to be
subsidized by dormitory and other campus services. It
is also unsatisfactory for student fees to support gym-
nasium and athletic team facilities that require ten times
the Patroon Room's subsidy.
To pursue this comparison, onc might ask
why comparatively well-off taxpayers defeat
school budgets. The main reason is probably
that ina time of rising costs and worsening
economic conditions, many people who are
objectively in comfortable circumstances fee!
hard pressed to maintain their standard of
living, and rising school taxes have become a
convenient scapegoat for their frustrations

Mathematics Department.
their hostility to particular groups or values.
Do comparable attitudes exist among
students? Well, consider the following:
Item I: The Student Association, which in
previous years had given an annual
appropriation of $2,000 oF so to the university
day care center, decided this year to
discontinue this subsidy. Why? Because too
few students who pay the student tax benefit
from this service. The Student Association has
fearlessly decided that it isunder no obligation

graduate students) to stay in school, or to

provide enrichment for their children. Helping
graduate students would be bad enough, but
the day care center even accepts, faculty
children (though faculty parents in fact pay
‘more than the cost of the care received), and
Student Association Leaders have put a stop
to such nonsense.
Item II: The Faculty-Student Association's
student representatives want to close the
barber shop because it loses money und
because they feel it is of greater benefit to
faculy and staff than (o students. One
suspects that faculty and staff would have an
casier time getting off campus for haircuts
than would resident students, who are less
likely to own cars, But suppose one concedes
that students really would benefit more from
the proposed campus food store (if it were well
stocked and cheap—both of which are
unlikely) than they do from the barber shop.
Should one then proceed to fire the barbers
during a recession and two years before the
barbers’ pension rights become vested? Do
students approve when the state proposes to
solve its fiscal problems by curtailing services
and firing those who provide them during 2
recession? Or do students only disapprove
when the cuts mean increased tuition or larger
classes?
Item ILI; The Patroon Room loses money
about $10,000 per year—and is subsidized by
other campus food services. Most restaurants
make theirmoney ondinners,and the Patron
Room, which serves only funch, is
understandably hard pressed. But if the
Patroon Room were to close, there would then
be only cafeterias left on campus, and there
would therefore be nowhere on campus where
‘one could hold an informal meeting over
Junch or where one would want to take guests.
The Patroon Room is used by very few
students, but it is hardly fair to characterize it
us a subsidezed club for faculty since few
faculty use it on a regular basis and its prices
are certainly no bargain. ‘The issues are
whether there should besuch a campus facility
and how it can be supported.

sources of funding become available.
But some student leaders are instead
reacting like irate taxpayers who think they
can escape from inflation by getting, the
government to eliminate “waste” (as in the
current argument over dormitory food prices)
and who respond to increased costs by trying.
to get someone else to pay them. Indeed many
students are in debt, many work during the
school year and during the summer, and few
can easily afford higher prices. But suburban
homeowners with mortgagesand children and
taxes and heating bills often have as much

The field events, which the Albany
State track team has been depending
on all season didn’t come through
Wednesday as the Danes dropped a
meet to Union College 77-68. A loss
in the last event, mile relay, sealed
the defeat
All year the team's weight men
could be counted on for three first
places. With that in mind, Rudy
Vido and Tom Cleary’s second and
third in the shot-put, Jim Holloway
and Chris Covis' second and third in
the discus, and Tom Cleary and
Perry Hoeltze!'s second and third in
the javelin were termed as “disap-
by Coach Bob Munsey.
Union's Maury took both the discus
and the shot-put, qualifying for the
N.C.A.A. national meet in the shot.
There was good news and bad
news from the hurdlers. They were
shut out in the 440 intermediates, in
which the fick! was split in half and
winnersdecided by time in each heat.

‘ion, she had a second place finish in
the mile and a third in the long jump.
The two mile run also featured
Sheila Mullins of Fitchburg who ran
the entire race barefoot
Cindy Crow set a new school
record in the 100 meter hurdles,
breaking Julie Acton’s mark of 18.6
by. of a second and making her the
sole owner ofall three hurdle records
(50 yd., 80 sd. and 100m.) She also
finished second in the 100 and fourth
the 220,
Crow was also a member of the
winning4 x 110 yd. relay. which set a
new school record of 55.3 seconds.
The other members of that relay
team Julie Favreau, Fran
Senhouse and Dorethea Brown,
Naney Paffrath, who set a new
record of 2:37.0 in the half mile last
Saturday, won the mile and the 440
yd. dash in Tuesday's meet as well as
finishing second in the javelin and
third in the high jump.
Julie Favreau won the long jump
with a jump of 134%" and Mary
Ellen Foley took the half mile to rou-
nd out the wins for Albany. Kathy
Herrmann placed third in thediscus,

Protests Voiced
by Edward Moser
Most of the speakers at yester-
day's demonstration were optimistic
about the chances of gaining amnes-
ty for the Attica defendants, but at
least one onlooker felt differently
Bill ‘Terry of Albany, who has
spent 22 years in and out of prison
said of the protest, “doesn’t matter
what we think, they'll whitewash
everything... You can sqwak “til
you're blue in the face; that won't
make them arrest the Ruckefellers.”
“1 ain't demonst ny more
Right after 1 appeared on a radio
talk show to speak on prison con-
ditions | got arrested on burglary.

wanted me off the streets.”
AL this point an old man dressed in
baggy culled trousers and a bh
sailor's cap neared us, Bill whispered
to me, “'m gonna start an a
with him.” Earlier the old ma
interrupted a talk that Attica defen-
dunt “Big Black* was having with
newsmen by screaming out “Did
they (the defendants) have trials?
Did they go to jait? Then what do
they want, a bed of rases?”
Hill wanted revenge. but received a

SUNYB Organizes For Inmates
by the Assoclited Press
Students from the State University at Buffalo were
expected to join other college students from around the
stute in a rally here today supporting the Attica prison
revolt inmates
Some 300 Buffalo students were expected 1o make the
trip in spite of an ision forbidding use
of student fees to pay for the trip, according to student
organizers

Joan made by the Student Association at the State Un-
iversity at Binghampton, the organizers said Sunday,
The money was originally intended to come from $1,
300 in Buflalo Student Association funds, which are
collected from student fees, But Buffalo president Dr,
Robert Ketter refused to authorize use of the funds to
finance the trip.
His decision triggered a disturbance at the Buffalo
pus Friday, which left 10 students arrested and
severt security guards slightly injured
Ketter said he had no objections to the students atten-
ding today’s rally. But he objected to the use of student
fees to finance the trip.
The disturbance at Buffalo came Friday when seeuri-
ty officers attempted to remove 100 protesting students
from the school's administration building
Student Association President Michele Smith, a
junior from Long Island, called Ketter’s decision to
remove the protesters “unwarranted, an overreaction,
and unnecessary in the circumstances."
Ketter stid the protestors were preventing others
from using the building, jone can peacefully
protest, but they do not have a right to prevent others
from doing what they have a right to do," Ketter said
The 10 arrested students were temporarily suspended
and a final decision on their cases will be made in two or
three weeks, the school president said,
