** “The recent endorsement of many of the New York
Staté newspapers for Senator Kenneth B, Keating is,
We: feel, a true commendation for an able legislator.

Even the daring young man from Massachusetts (and
Virginia) has refrained from makingany major attacks
On-a political record that is hard to equal. For ex-
ample:

In 1957, 1960 and 1964 Senator Keating was an active
campaigner in the fight to pass the Civil Rights Bills,

His amendments to the Foreign Aid Bill drastically
reduced the assistance dictatorg and other tyrants
could reap from it,

. His amendments to the Export Control Act squeezed
off more illegal exports of strategic materials to
the Soviet Bloc,

He supported the first Housing Act that provided
low-cost housing for veterans,

dust one more thing: Itwas Senator Keating’ who in-
formed the American public that Communist missile
bases were being erected in Cuba while the adminis-
tration denied their existence,

This is a man who has spent 18 years in Washington
helping his home state, Because he is a member of a
minority party in Congress, this has not deen an easy
matter,

Despite his record, his abilities and his knowledge
of his state, Senator Keating will be fighting this year
to save his political career from the onslaught of an
ambitious young man who served exactly 3 years and
8 months as Attorney General of the United States, a
time fraught with civil strife and controversy. He
was rejected by the Democratic presidential candi-
date as a running mate after years of personal con-
flict with him and the question of how well these
two political rivals can work together is a pressing
consideration,

In short, there is no real doubt as to which is the
better qualified for the office of Senator from New
York,

Moral Causes for Racial

Hatreds Questioned by Prof

Tathtne CaTESciat entitled “ts

sion Accomplished?” in your Sep=
tember 26th issue you raise aques-
tion which deserves very serious
consideration: Granting the right-
ness of the elvil rights cause, was.
it rational or moral to send inex
perienced and unprotected youths in-
to such anextremely dangerous situ-
ation, when the violence and death
which actually occurred could have
been reckoned beforehand as a very
real possibility?

I confess I am not completely
certain it was, but I have some
reasons for thinking {t was, which
I would like to try to indicate,
However, I want to. emphasize that
I think an easy-to-give answer one
way or the other is probably a
shallow answer; I can respect the
integrity of an opposite conclusion,
for I have felt its pull within my-
self.

The question, as Dr, Birr and
Miss Metz have both pointed out
in their letters responding to your
editorial, is one that can only be
answered by considering (1) what
the situation was, (2) what else
might have been done, and (3) what
they did,

The situation was (as it still is)
that a moral revolution must come
to the South very, very soon or th
violence and bloodshed and other
human destruction that have al«
ready occurred may be but the be-
ginning.

The situation is that until amoral
revolution does come to the South
the struggle for human rights there
cannot be won. The situation is
that every delay tn bringing it about

uitiplies the human destquction,

No amount of legisiation and meet-
ing force with force are, by them-
selves, going to bring it about; in
fact there comes a point = which

Student Association Illegal

The reasoning used by Senate in freezing the Year-
book's budget because it chunged its name is utterly
ridiculous. However, for the moment we will grant
Senate’s premise; an organization which changes its
name ceases to exist until is receives official recog-
nition from Senate.

Now we look at the Student Association Constitution
as printed in the 1964 editionof Campus Viewpoint, the
official handhook of the State University of New York
at Albany, Since the Constitution contains amendments
passed as late as 1963, we can assume that the Con-
stitution is correct and up-to-date,

In looking at Article I, we read that ‘The Nome of
this organization shall be the Student Association of New
York State College for Teachers at Albany.”

We remind Senate that for the past few years we
have heen attending the State University of New York
at Albany,

Granted, the Student Association of New York State
College for Teachers at Albany still exists, since it
hasn't changed its name, But what is the Student
Association of New York State College for Teachers
at Albany doing governing the students of the State
University of New York at Albany?

Perhaps we should freeze the funds of the entire
Student Association until we get the matter straighten-
od out,

which their use to date has helped
to achieve.

Human rights for the Negro can-
not become significant realities in
‘a South that remains an armed camp
seething with hatred,

What can be done to break down
racial hatreds and cause to exist
in their place genuine moral aware-
ness of one human being of another?
T cannot think of any really eifec-
tive way other than by individuals
exemplifying the attitudes they are
seeking to bring into being; the only
finally effective toxin against racial
discrimination {s moral awareness,
and the only practically effective
means of social action to spread
this innoculator is by the contagion
of example,

‘This basically, as I understand
it, is what the Mississippi Project
was all about, A variety of speci-
fic projects were undertaken, of
course, such as voter registration,
each with a value in itself, but
these were but the means of giving
embodiment to the underlying pur-
pose: the moral mission,

If anything does, it is this which
fundamentally Justified putting those
specific individuals, with the spect-
fe kind of training they were given,
in Mississippl in the summer of
1964, All the evidence I have seen
Indicates that they were well chosen
‘and given reasonably adequate train.
Ing to get done what they were sent
there to do.

T cannot think of a practical alter-
native or more realistic way of
seeking to meet the basie crisis
faced in the struggle for human
rights for the Negro in the South
this past summer

T know that stich talk can sound
hopelessly unconvincing to someone
who has felt deeply such a tragedy
as the deaths of the three young
civil rights workers and is bur-
dened with the question of whether
the whole scheme wasn't the off-
spring of too much fing talk with-

out enough honest facing of what
the consequences could be for those
who got involved = whether the good
that could be achleved could pos-
sibly justify the dreadful human cost
that might have to be paid for it,

T feel the need to make clearer
and more poignant why I have given
the kind of answer I have, I think
T can do this with an analogy,

But I must begin by indicating
snore specifically what I mean by
moral awareness, what Tunderstand
to be its human significance, and
what I take to be the specific co
Sequences of its being manifested
by the clvil rights workers in Mis-
sissippl this past summer,

a narrow self interest or simply
“right?” habit.

It 1s a mark of a genuine moral
commitment that it Issues in a firm
adherence to an {deal of personal
integrity, which influences the nature
and the spirit of all of one’s actions,

There are justifiable bases of
judging people supertor and infert-
or, and none more significant than
a classification in terms of depth
of moral feeling and commitment.

Many of us see the civil rights
workers who risked their lives in
Mississippi this past summer seek-
ing to help the Southern Negro gain
a greater measure of freedom and
opportunity to live with dignity and
inerease his capabilities for seli
fulfillment, as among the moral
aristocrats of our age,

Even if their efforts to change
attitudes and laws had totally failed,
thelr actions would be something
we, as well as they, could look to
with pride and respect as marvelous
manifestations of that kind of hu»
mantty, which gives a dimension of
nobility to human life.

But they did not fall. On Octoher
6, the “Knickerbocker News" car-
ried a “New York Times’ factual
report on changes already noticeable
since the summer's activities,
changes for which the presence and
activities of the civil rights workers
are recognized as influential fac.
tors, These, state the article,
some of the changes:

“The White Citizens Councils,
which at one time represented ef-
fective, almost total opposition to
compliance with federal integra
tion decrees and policies, hiave lost
most of their influence,

“Moderates have begun to or-
ganize and as a result there has
been a lessening of demoguxuery
on the race issue in some «. eas,

“As a result of work by the FBI,
the state has begun to purge mem-
bers of the Ku Klux Klan from the
State Highway Patrol.

number of public officials have
begun to speak out against violence.

“The states’ investigative and
police forces have been brought into
play against bands of terrorists who
have burned and bombed churches
homes, and civil rights buildings.”*

Of course the activities of
civil rights workers were not the
only forces working towards these
results,

There 1s the very tangible evi-
dence that sizable numbers of Ne-
groes were given the encouragement
they needed to register and tu ac
tively affiliate with groups working

ting that it be reorganized ‘‘to

would be prompt to point out) the
Republican challenger’s statement
to the effect that he would ‘sell’

Goldwater does advocate disposal
of those TVA functions which do not
have existing counterparts in the
national government, He has sug-
gested that all TVA activities which
can be handled by some branch of the
resource programs be re-channel-
ed, (For example, soll conservation,
forestry, etc.)

governments or the localities in-

Crjtical Commentas

Excellence’

by Kathy Brophy

“And in a great many of our colleges and uatver-
sities the most stubborn enemy of high morale has
been a kind of hopelessness on the part of both ad-
minjstration and faculty-hopelessness about ever
achieving distinction as an institution,”

Something like this hopelessness existed at Al-
bany. Students in the past have suffered from a
tendency to apologize for attending the State Uni-
versity. It was not widely acknowledged that State
was a fine, or even a good, college.

‘This atmosphere is changing. Within my experience
there have been many students who are proud of the
resources of the school. It is possible to sozialize
one’s way through certain programs, but it is in
creasingly recognized that the teachers and facilities
Necessary for education are here. It seems that the
students are more interested in exploiting thelr op=
portunities.

thing else on campus, is in transition, That change 1s

Attempts to reform society must reckon with the
increased emphasis on a college education, the
Prestige factors in vocations, and the mores of
mediocrity that infect this present society.

Gardner recommends on the practical level that
Programs of higher education be further diversified
to provide challenge for all levels and types of
ability, that opportunities other than college be more
investigated by guidance counselors, and that chile
dren from impoverisied environments be given spec-
fal training,

All of the recommendations are a function of bis
basic theory. Rooted in concern for the democratic
Society and in the democratic ideal of Individual
fulfillment is the concept of excellence,

Thus, in Gardner's thought, the motto “Let each
become all " means exactly let each become the
Very best, the most thoroughly realized person that
Ne can,

Restate to Reintorpret

This concept seems so simple, in fact the whole
book seems simple, and tls is its virtue, The
clear, uncomplicated prose carries the point-to-
point logic of the argument, While at first it seems
that Gardner ts merely restating sociological cliches,
it is later apparent that he restates In order to re-
interpret,

He does not dwell on Doiug-Your-Best to recall
xrade school days, but to press for a public moral-
ity that will increase the possibilities for our future,
At a time when the expansion of the university
forces us to be thoroughly responsible for what we
take away with us, Gardner's ideas are worth cone
sideration,

sed the individualism found in the
man's identity.

Boas Compares Aspects

Using the premise that
“no matter how different
things are, they can be
shown to-interrelate ifonly
by their differences,” Dr,
George Boas opened the
first session of the Renais-
sance Symposium Monday
night at Page Hall.

His speech was entitled, “Cross
Currents of the Italian’ Renals-
sance,""

‘The only single trait, pointed out
Boas, which can unite the several
different aspects of the Italian Ren-
~’ssance, such asart, 1
ture and politics, is’ that thes
pects occurred in the same chrono-
logical period = from 1450-1550,

Renaissance Not Unique

Although many spectacular events
took place between these dates, the
Renaissance is not so singular as
we believe, sald Boas, Today, just
as then, progress is being made
all fields of thought, However,
nothing on such a large scale and
happening within such a relatively
short Ume has been found since the
Renaissance,

As do many authorities, Boas oly-
jected to the name Renaissance as
inappropriate for the periud. “The
age ts not a rebirth of anything," but
an expansion and progression of
Jider ideas and arts, he argued,
“This span of yeurs was Labeled
by Boas as “a contury of strife.”
‘The struggle for authority between
the Papacy and secular powers, the
antagonism of many Italian States,
the national hatred between France
and England, the religious contro-
vorsy of the Catholic and Protestant
Churehes, and strife within the Cath
olle Church between the Franciscan
and Dowtnican orders are major
examples of this strife,

Age of Individualism
Within the five [allan States were
Many struggling actions, a situation
which resulted in disunity and crea
tive power. “Disunity"’, continued
is more revealing of an age
in unity because disunity provides
for the freedom of thought and in-
dividuality,””
“The Age of Individualism’! was

suggested by Boas as a name for

| Of Italian Renaissance

this period, More great personall~
tes have come from this age than
from any other, DaVinci was such
@ individual personality, Through
the rejection of authority, DaVinci
was led to a new source of truth -
himself,

The overwhelming concept of
truth during this period as stated
by Boas, 1s that each man is his
own judge,

‘The Empirical method which had
been established under Aristotle's
method of appealing to nature, wa
enriched by thinkers of the Rena
sance. Aristotle's method failed
to answer one question, “what should
we look for?”

‘The three steps of Galileo" best
Wlustrated the improvement of the
empiricle method, His steps are
to analyze the problem, see the
Question, and then image real situ-
ations, which would illustrate the
problem,

In conclusion, Dr. Boas said that
the ‘Tallan Renaissance isthe most
striking example of diversified and
adventurous cultural progress,"”

Publications Editors Attend

Press Conferen

Editors of the Albany Student
Pre and the Carillon traveled
to Chicago last weekend to attend
the fortieth annual conference of
the Associated Collegiate Press,

Held in the Conrad Hilton Hotel,
‘the conference brought together over
1100 student journalists from 324
colleges across the country. They
represented 516 newspapers, year=
‘books, and magazines,

Attending from Albany were Karen
Keefer, Edith Hardy and Judith Con-
ger of the Albany Student Press, and
‘William Colgan, Steven Curti, and
Eileen Manning from the Carillon,

Conference sessions covered ev~
ery aspect of college journalism
from the writing itself to photog-
raphy, layout, and typography. Also
included were sessions on business
and advertising, and on the philoso-
phy behind the student press

Experienced Journalists Teach

Delegates had the chance to hear
sessions conducted by such experi-
enced journalists as Professor Ed-
mund Arnoidof Syracuse University,
author of several books on typog-
raphy, Professor Melvin Mencher

of the Columbia Graduate School of
Journalism, John A, MeWethy, man-
aging editor for the midwest edition
of the Wall Street Journal, and Casey
Banas of the Chicago Tribune.

Perhaps even more helpful than
the sessions themselves were the
chances to meet students from other
schools and to exchangg ideas and
solutions to mutual problems. In
addition the ACP provided displays
of award-winning newspapers and

yearbooks, which could béexamined

Shulman Addresses Delegates

A highlight of the conference was
the address by Max Shulman, creator
of Doble Gillis, at the ACP Awards
Luncheon on Saturday. Speaking on
“How to be a Writer, or Oblivion
Made Simple," he displayed all the
humor that made his column for
Marlboro cigarettes a favorite with
college students for ten years.

discontinued when cigarette adver
tisements were taken out of college

BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED is o popular reading selection

for the New Campus Dwellers.

Noise, Dust, Inconvenience
Prevail on New Campus

‘“ft's the only place in the world
where you can wake up to the sweet
sound of a GM cement truck letting
its alr brakes off.”*

‘The remark by Gerry Terdiman,
one of the first 200 men on the new
campus, sums up the not unexpec-
ted student reaction to life and
study in the midst of the building
of a University.

Steam hammers, alr compres-
sors, bull dozers, dump trucks, and
hand’ saws outnumber the students
at the present time, encouraging
early risers and making study im-
possible during the day.

Moved Soturdey

‘The 200 men, who had spent the
first six weeks of the semester
in the more remote if more quiet
quarters of the Governor's and
Country Squire motels, moved into
the still incomplete Van Rensselaer
and Rywick dormitories last Satur-
day.

With construction being rushed
to completion on the remaining three
units and center tower of the first
dormitory complex, noise, incon-
venience, and dust make life diffi-
cult on the new campus.

If study conditions are impossible
during the day, they are excellent
at night. The system of individual
study rooms, and the isolation of

the students, compine toprovide ex
cellent conditions.

‘The dormitories are still several
‘weeks away from completion. Car-
peting, wall sockets, lounge furni-
ture, the recreation and laundry
rooms, still have to be added,

Sound Difficulties

Acoustics within the individual
sultes is the main student com-
plaint. Any noise, such as the
shutting of a door, echoes and re-
echoes throughout the rooms. With-
out carpeting on the floors, as had
originally been planned, theproblem
is aggrevated.

One student remarked, ‘Stone
(referring to the University archi-
tect, Edward Durell Stone) might te@
‘a great artist, but he’sa lousy scien-
list when it comes to understanding
sound,"

One aspect of the new dormt-
tories that has proved popular, ho
ever, {s the presence of private
telepliones in each of the suites
Students are allowed to make an un-
Umited number of free calls on these
phones.

‘The only drawback to the system
1s a handfull of students who have
delighted in maling crank’? calls

hours of the night.

Campus Morality Concepts Meet
*Relatively High Social Standards

Ed, Note: The following article a
2 following article op

by Fronk Adams

Since hearing a few weeks ago
a brief symposium on immorality
on college campuses we have been
‘speculating on this fascinating topic,
(After all, we've worked on cam-
uses for most of the last thirty
years.)

Since the topic is a complex one,
we haven’t come to any conclusions
about which we feel confident.

We have, though, settled on two in«
troductory’ premises. One is that
what is usiially thought of when im=
morality on the campus is men-
tioned, the relationship between
male and female students,,has ab-
solutely no relevance whatever to
the topic,

(If courting customs interest you,
studies, indicate that such intimacy
as does prevail in colleges is less
than that among people of the same
age who don’t go to college.)

hard Szymanski,

‘The other premise we have ar=
rived at is that, since institutions of
higher learning are by their very na~
ture actuated by an extremely high
idealism, moral standards on cam-
Pus are considerably higher than
those in the surrounding society.

Hence a consideration of campus
morality, to be comprehensible to
the outsider, would probably require
a good bit of explanation of what
campus moral standards are.

Plagiarism, for example, is the
basis for a good portion of the en-
tertainment world’s product, (Tele~
vision comedians even boast of their
plagiarism.) Yet on the campus,
Plagtarism is probably the most im-
moral act which a.studentor scholar
can commit,

For another example, starting
with a conclusion and then finding
facts to support it or twisting facts
to seem to support it, a description
of virtually all advertising, is inthe
academic world flatly immoral,

Or, for a third example, politics
1s a matter of relentlessly hamme!
ing away on one side of a questior
For a teacher in a classroom know>
ingly to slight any side of aquestion
is, again, totally tmmoral,

That there is immorality on col=
Jege campuses we do not deny. But
the hard truth is that the outsider ts
unlikely to know what is and that his
attempts to deal with what be thinks
‘af as immorality in colleges are
likely to be themselves, by campus
definition, immoral,

‘disturbed by the Jack of depth in student activities.
Activities are available to meet every student's needs
and interests, yet nearly every organization on cam-
pus suffers from a lack of working members, Many
groups do not even have enough members on paper

to keep the group going.

Miraculously, most of the organizations have been

able to continue and to turn out useful

the school as a whole, but even these services, such
as speakers and concerts are often not taken advan-

tage of.

There are 3800 students attending this University.
Yet only a small minority are making an active con-

tribution to the university life. Activi

services they provide are as vital to the university
as are the studies which most students use as an
excuse to keep from joining an organization.

To the Editors:

‘The question of Robert F, Kennedy

School of Communications Needed

thing the editors of the ASP and
Carillon learned in Chicago last week
was that this newspaper and the year-
book will never have a real shot atbeing
All-American publications until a school
of communications is established here.

Except for the classes in Chicago,
no editor on either publication has ever
received a minute of formalized training,
Such training is nearly indispensable to
the publication of a semi-weekly news-
paper,

Within five years, the pressures and
needs within the University will dictate
that the ASP turn dajly. Without a firm
background, such an undertaking would
be impossible, or even worse, badly
botched,

We are in this University to learn;
the University could help us and itself
by establishing a school of communi-
cations,

Communications today play adynamic,

ever-expanding role in shaping the
America of the 60's, They are a vital
component in any well-rounded liberal
arts program,

Good schools of communications are
rare in this country, There is need for
one in this section of the country at a
state-supported institution, A good
school would add to the University’s
prestige and serve as an attraction to
many worthwhile students, who other-
wise might go elsewhere.

As of yet, there are still no definite
Plans to include communications cur-
riculum on the new campus. We call
upon the administration to consider the
value such a school would have.

We, as does the radio station and
other publications on this campus, need
the help of talented faculty members who
have been trained to the problems of
the communications media if we are to
successfully meet the future, We ask
for such help now,

‘Let us first examine the con-
stitutionality of his candidacy.
There is no doubt but that Robert
F. Kennedy is 30 years old and
an inhabitant of New York State.
"These are the only stated quali~
fleations in the Constitution ~ thus
Mr, Kei edy fulfills the letter of
the law.

But let us examine the spirit of
the Constitution, Article I, Sec-
tion 3, paragraph 1 - ‘The Senate
‘of the United States shall be com-
posed of (wo Senators from each
state; chosen by the legislature
thereof for six years..."

No longer does legislature choose
the senators from that state. It
ts however obvious that the found
ing fathers intended the Senators
to represent their home states. It
goes without saying that the legis-
lature of the State of New York
would not choose a democrat let
alone a democrat from Massachu-
setts.

Now, let us discuss Robert F.
Kennedy’s campaign. I heard Mr,
Kennedy speak both in my home-
town of Endicott and here in Al-
bany. He is running, not on his
personal qualifications, not on his
past political experience, not on
his merits, but rather on the record
of the Kennedy-Johnson admini:
tration, He does not directly come
to grips with his opponent and chal-
Tenge him on the issues; instead he
campaigns for the Democratic Na-
tlonal Ticket against the Republican
National ticket.

He makes such statements as:
BS for Lyndon Johnson and against
Barry Goldwater. I'm the only
candidate for the Senate from New
York who can say that," Let me
point out that Senator Kenneth Keat-
ing can not make this statement
since he 1s a Republican, but let me
also point out that Senator Keating
1s not supporting Senator Goldwater,

He also says: ‘I am for medi-
care, I am,for civil rights.” Let
me point out that Senator Keating
voted for both those measures, It
seems then that Mr, Kennedy is
campaigning not as Mr. Robert F,
Kennedy but as an agent of tho
Democratic National ticket.

‘This would be permissible ifSen-
ator Keating were running as an
agent of the Republican National
Ticket. However, he is not, He
is running as Kenneth Keating;
Robert Kennedy on othe other hand
1s running not as Robert Kennedy
but as John Kennedy,

Foreign Students Receive

‘Student Finds Attack on ‘Playboy’
Philosophy Unfavorably Critical

If Tim Atwell meant Harmon Al-

(Huckleberry Road, 10/16) was fair-
ly good, If, on the other hand, At~
well's poison darts were aimed at

the “Playboy"' philosophy, they mis~

Atwell not only grossly misrepre-

logically significant series of es

written to ald his generation in its
blind groping for a system of val-

The ‘Playboy Philosophy" is a
dissertation on the past and present

Albany-The City Around Us

City ‘Machine’ Faces
New Reform Drives

by Cynthia Goodman

“Albany is a Democratic oasis in a Republican

heartland,”’

These are the words Governor Rocke-

feller used to describe the city around us, For Jim
Martin, Albany businessman and Republican candi-
date for the New York State Senate seat from Albany
County, this phrase has special meaning. He is trying
this year to end a 43 year-old Democratic adminis-

tration.

Albany politics is not
very different from that of
any other large New York
State metropolis, Here,
too, one Party has managed
to take control of the city
and county machinery and
almost eradicate the two~
party system,

The fact that the political power
structure in the clty is almost
completely Democratic, has been

dominated suburbs,

The basic weakness of the city

no such direct contact with the

Don't look now, but tomorrow night 1s coming.
Yes, Halloween is near upon us once again, And how
many of you out there know the (rue meaning of Hal-

to enjoy yourselves this weekend, a few words about
how the whole business got sturted.

Halloween gets its name from the great man whom
millions of children emulate each and every October
thirty-first, Saint Hal. Saint Hal was born and raised
in Ween County, England, Just west of Sherwood
Forest, One day, when Saint Hal was just a kid, Robin
Hood and his Merry Men robbed the feudal tiaron on
whose land Hal and his family lived. As Robin Hood
and his Merry Men rode by, little Hal shouted out,

“What's with all the robbin', Robin? I mean all the
time you go 'round Robin, How come?

‘And Robin replied (period)

Rob from the rich and give to the poor.””

‘The essence of that idea appealed to Mal, and he
racked his brain for years and years trying to find
& more peaceful means to the same end, that of gotting
money from the wealthy and giving It to the down=
trodden,

One October thirty-first, Hal figured he had it
figured, He dressed up as a priest anu traveled
from one end of England to the other, visiting all
the feudal lords and announcing,

“Lande hol Ich be Hal o’ Ween, ‘Treate ye welle
the poore, lest Gotte alle goode peradventur
trocke.” (Iii, I'm Hal from Ween County. Give gladly
to the poor, or God in all His gooduess may dann
you.)

Even way back then, people dida’t want to risk dan

people were way back then,) and they gave much to

During the War of the Roses, when adult male

Pumpkin carving began (this brings us into the past)
in Eire as a symbolic destroying of the Northern
Irish, ‘The pumpkin carving custom traveled across
the Wide Atlantle via the good ship Irish Rover and
was practiced for a time in the darker regions of the
Lower East Side, where all of the original power and
life force were subsequently diluted from the cere-
montes.

‘The lack of second-goneration interest In pumpkin
carving upset old Michael “Spleen o' the Green"
O'Malley, and he determined to have one eventing of
the year set aside for the express purpose of per-
petualing the great pumpkin carving tradition.

“Pick a day,” said somebody, (No one has ever
been able to determine who It was.)

“October thirty-first,"" said Michael,

reforming the Party from within,

When asked why he doesn't just
pull out of the Party and run in-
dependently, Harder answers:

“You can't clean house if you
move out.”

With the backing of a relatively
small group of reform Democrats,
Harder himself ran unsuccessfully
in 1962 and 1964 primary elections
for Democratic Assemblyman
against Frank Cox,

‘The '62 race was the first really
contested primary in almost 42
year's. Despite the nature of the
duel, the turtiout for the primary was
not as good as the Harder group had
hoped. Harder claims that voters
had been urged tocome or stay home

free to speak in opposition to the

the South Mall project, initially
opposed by Mayor Corning.

The project, an urban renewal

‘ounds that a large number of
