UB EXPLODES
by Al Senia
The State University at Buffalo was on the verge
of a student shut-down today following two days
and nights of bloody confrontation between stud-
ents and both city and campus police.
The administration building was “pretty well des-
troyed,” according to an eyewitness.
Police reports claimed eleven persons injured but
this figure was termed “pure bullshit” by an editor
of SPECTRUM, the student newspaper. There were
confirmed reports of many students clubbed, beat-
en, maced, and in at least one instance, set upon by
police dogs.
By the early hours of Tuesday moming the scene
had quieted down somewhat after a stormy student
meeting in one of the residence halls. Little was
accomplished at that time, but another meeting will
take place at 7:30 this morning outside the student
union to decide specific actions. It was certain there
would be some kind of student strike or “cessation
of classes.” “A whole lot of students here are mad-
der than hell,” one student reported to the ASP
over the phone.
Earlier last night, it appeared more violence might
erupt. While the students were meeting, police were
massing near the security building at the end of the
campus. They were armed with tear gas, Mace, and
clubs and were placed on alert several times
throughout the night but no further clashes oc-
curred.
Yesterday’s events began with a march on Hayes
Hall, the administration building. Minor disturb-
ances followed. Campus security cars were smashed
by students incensed at the “police riot” of Wednes-
day night. There was some destruction at the local
R.O.T.C, building.
As the crowd grew to nearly three thousand, pol-
ice were called, but instead of retreating, the stud-
ents met them head on with sticks and clubs. The
police fell back.
In thirty minutes, they returned in force, dressed
in riot gear and bolstered with members of the Buf-
falo Tactical Patrol Unit. Their equipment included
tear gas, clubs, and police dogs. Some police were
without badges. The crowd advanced again, and the
police, fearing further violence, withdrew “amid a
shower of rocks and bottles,” according to one eye-
witness.
That was the situation until last night’s meeting.
The scene pictured above was tranquil compared
to the bedlam of the previous night. The following
story was pieced together with the help of the staff
of the SPECTRUM, the student newspaper at Buf-
falo: Late Tuesday night, there was a peaceful
rally in support of a group of black athletes de-
manding changes in recruiting procedures and the
financial aid program of the university’s athletic de-
partment.
When the rally ended, boycott leaders asked the
Dr. Hamilton
Raps Albany’s
Mayor Corning ©
“We honor Mr, Burns... but we
will, not perform at your
circuses.”
—Dr. Harry Hamilton
The Corning Administration’s
handling of the appointment of
Rev. George L. Burns as manager
of Thacher Homes drew a stinging
rebuke from Dr. Harry Hamilton,
president of the Albany NAACP
and head of SUNYA’s EOP pro-
gram.
In explaining his organization’s
boycott of the press conference
called by Mayor Corning to an-
nounce the appointment, Hamil-
ton said: “We expect to work
closely with Mr. Burns...(but) I
did not attend your press confer:
ence because this is but one fur-
ther example of a move to pro-
mote yourself under the guise of
honoring someone else.”

crowd to stay and await the administration’s re-
action. However, about a hundred students began
marching toward the gym, in protest against the pre-
sence of city police on campus.
The basketball game with Stony Brook had end-
ed, so the group marched to the offices of Acting
President Peter Regan. There they confronted an
assistant over the now-touchy issue of the Buffalo
police. He claimed the University’s Security Task
Office had summoned the police, but it was later
reported that Regan had either given the author-
ization or done the calling himself.
‘As the students left, twenty security policemen,
equipped for riot duty, approached. An object was
thrown through the window of Regan’s office, and
the police chased the demonstrators into nearby
Norton Hall.
Once inside, the students set up barricades but
the police broke through and chased people through
the lobby. One patrolman pointed to Terry Reegan,
a student who had previously been arrested for de-
monstrating in support of the Buffalo Black Pan-
thers, and he was beaten and clubbed. Another stu-
dent, Tom Kearns, was picked at random, kicked
and clubbed to the ground until blood gushed from
his head. He was then handcuffed and taken away
while students nearby threw everything they could
lay their hands on at the police. He is now in the
hospital with serious head injuries.
Meanwhile, windows at the administration build-
ing were being smashed, Inside now-famous Norton
Hall, barricades were set up to prevent further pol-
ice sweeps. Appeals were broadcast to eyewitnesses
to go to the Student Association office in the build-
ing and write down what they had witnessed.
Many students were now outside, being forced
out of Norton Hall by the police. They soon gather-
ed into groups and hurled rocks and chunks of ice at
the five policemen stationed outside. One policeman
glanced at his companions, and all hurtled forward,
swinging clubs. One student fell to the ground and
the crowd raced to his rescue shouting “Get him,
get him” as an officer wielded his mace and sprayed
at point blank range. The crowd scattered...
For over an hour, campus police fought pitched
battles, rocks and ice chunks filling the air. A truck
and car were set on fire; the blaze was extinguished
by other students.
Then, the city police arrived toclear Norton
Hall. The students raced out front and police
pursued them, spraying mace. The students fled into
dormitories, where first aid stations were set up.
The crowd started to regroup outside
Norton~and so did the police. Dogs were unleased,
mass arrests were made. Many bystanders caught in
the middle of the confusion were busted.
Finally the trouble subsided, and the police with-
drew under a barrage of rock and snowballs.

Council Discusses
New Constitution
by Robert Warner
Last night Central
Council voted by a thin margin
(11-10-1) on a bill by Mike Lam-
pert to limit the field of possible
candidates who can run for Pres-
ident and Vice-President of Stud-
ent Association (SA). This is a
proposed Constitutional
Amendment which says in effect
that no person shall be a nominee
for President or Vice-President un-
less he has had two semesters of
experience on Central Council
which may include the semester
of his nomination. Included in
this amendment was that an
exception can be made by a two-
thirds vote of Council.
The purpose of this amendment
--benjamin
is to insure that the President and
Vice-President know exactly
what the duties of these offices
entail before they take office.
This was severely criticized by
many members of Council as anti-
-democratic and a step backward
in Council’s program to become
more representative of the student
body. Ken Stokem and Joe!
Kaiser led the attack against
Lampert’s bill. Kaiser and Wesley
called for a roll call. Voting in
favor of Lampert’s bill were (11):
Judy Avner, Dr. Baker, Jeannette
Beckermann, Steve Brown, Mike
Lampert, Tom Leibos, Vic
Looper, Linda Pearson, Norm
Rich, Carol Tibbets, and Jean
Turner. Voting against were (10):
Mike Avon, Ralph DiMarino, Bert
Eversley, Terry Mathias, Dave
Neufeld, Dr. Daniel O’Dell Tobi
Shostak, Larry Smith, and Dick
Wesley. The remaining vote was
an abstention by Miss Alice
Corbin.
The original proposal by the
Constitutional Revisions Com-
mittee which is chaired by Ken
Stokem would have merely called
for a transitional period in which
the incoming President could ob-
tain a good working knowledge
from the outgoing President.
Those who criticized the bill as
voted by Council maintained that
a transitional period would suffice
and that Council experience re-
quirements would only serve to
exclude more students from their
own government. Terry Mathias
agreed that the transitional period
would have been good enough.
Lenny Kopp proposed four
amendments which would delete
the ‘good academic standing’
clause of the Constitution which
is in reference to the
qualifications of Councilmen.
Kopp’s reason for this amend-
ment was that college students are
mature enough to handle their

Complainers take note:
Bookstore Explained
Complaints about the State
University Bookstore have not de-
creased with the onset of the sec-
ond semester. To many students,
lack of books was at an all time
high. To better acquaint the Uni-
versity community with the prob-
lems that face them, the Book-
store has explained its procedures
and the difficulties which occur.
Textbook buying is a year-
-round process, not restricted to
those two weeks or so when book-
lines stretch beneath the Physics
Building. The textbook depart-
ment orders, receives, and double-
-checks large book shipments for
the Fall, Spring and Summer se-
mesters, an operation exacting
both full and part-time help.
Generally two months before
the new term, book orders are due
in the department. However, it is
stressed that the correct orders are
requested, a great demand consid-
ering the usual problems which
oceur.
However, even if a completely
accurate list is furnished, the pub-

own time as they see fit; there-
fore, anyone could serve on
Council regardless of his
cumulative average because that is
a personal affair and not that of
the Council.
Norm Rich proposed an
amendment which, in effect,
deletes the clause from the
Constitution that living areas
should be the basis of Council
representation, and puts it in the
bylaws. Dave Neufeld argued in
support of Rich’s amendment and
Joe Kaiser and Ken Stokem led
the debate against Rich’s
amendment. Norm Rich’s reason
for the proposal was that a
constitutional amendment can be
less easily changed than a by-law;
therefore, to insure some freedom
of action by the Council, this
would have had to have been
deleted. The opposition
maintained that a block of voters
(fraternities, for example) could
dominate the election and insure
all fraternity candidates as victors.
The amendment was passed
14-55.
If Central Council should vote
to bring the new SA Constitution
before the student body, a
referendum will be held
coinciding with University Senate
elections on March 23, 24, and
25.
lisher may not be able to ship
promptly, thus causing further
complications in the bookstore.
Freight strikes, driver strikes, or
unexpected enrollments can also
be encountered, resulting in
delays for the bookstore as well as
for the student.
Adequate storage is probably
one of the greatest difficulties
faced. Estimated enrollments pre-
pared by professors are often too
high, resulting in a surplus of text.
Excess books have to be returned
to the publisher, tying up book-
store staff in their re-packaging.
This also cuts efficiency in the dis-
tribution of books to students.
In order to prevent such prob-
lems. as well as to prevent such
problems, as well as to conserve
space, the personnel of the book-
store study previous enrollments
with regard to whether the books
have been used before, and
whether it will be used again.
These factors are studied before a
text is ordered.
As in most businesses, there is
never enough staff. Extra help
cannot be brought in to cope with
the flood of work accumulating
just before the beginning of the
semester rush because this re-
quires trained personnel. Famil-
iarity with the system, special pro-
cedures, and research problems
come with experience.
The textbook department also
is forced to concern itself with or-
dering books for professors and
special projects as well as ordering
for regular courses.
Dr. Hamilton
Continued from page 1
Hamilton, in his open letter to
Corning, went on:
“The black community of Al-
bany does not need you to pro-
claim Martin Luther King Day. It
needs the snow and trash removed
from South Pearl Street...because
snow is still three feet deep on the
sidewalk seven weeks after the
snow came.”
“The black community does
not need you to proclaim Negro
History Week. It needs to have
you stop controlling the school
board, and have an elected board
that will be responsive to the
people.”
“The black community does
not want to hear you talk about
‘letting justice take its course’
rather than having the charges
dropped against students at Al-
bany High School.””
Hamilton then. concluded:
“Mr. Mayor, we need less con-
trol, less manipulation, less grand-
standing, and more action. We
honor Mr. Burns and will work
with him. But we will not perform
at your circuses.”
Burns is replacing John E.
Brown, who is white, as manager
of the controversial Thacher
Homes. The housing units have
drawn fire from black official who
deemed conditions at the project
“horrible.”
Among other things the State University Bookstore is expected to supply the University community with
books.

Move to Lower Voting Age
Takes a Small Step Forward
by Al Senia
The long process in lowering
the New York State voting age
took a small step forward this
week when the Senate and As-
sembly passed two different ver-
sions of a bill to decrease the
voting age to eighteen.
First, the Senate voted, 54 to 3,
to make the change effective in
just a single step. Under this plan,
18 year olds would get the vote
by 1972.
But the Assembly did not con-
cur. They defeated the same mea-
sure, introduced by Eli Wager of
Mineola, L.I., 78 to 71. Instead,
they chose to enfranchise 18 year
olds in a more complicated three-
step procedure.
If this plan is finally adopted,
the voting age would drop down
one year every six years, subject
to approval in a voter referendum.
In other words, 18 year olds
would get the vote in 1980-if this
measure is adopted.

Norton Hall was sealed off and a
high level administration meeting
was called.
That was the situation leading
to yesterday’s violence and to-
day’s student shutdown.
‘And the leader of the black stu-
dents--whose demands helped lead
to the initial confrontation—-was
reportedly annoyed at the admin-
istration for violating the agree-

Why the impasse? The Assem-
bly approved bill was the more
gradual approach and was more
palatable to conservative Republi-
can lawmakers in the Assembly.
They argued that although they
approved of the one-step measure,
it was certain to be defeated in a
public referendum. (Amendments
must be passed by two separate
legislatures and a referendum to
become law.) And such a defeat in
a referendum, the argument con-
tinued, would bury the issue for a
decade or two.
But the !Democrat told a dif-
ferent story. They claimed the
impasse was a deliberate ploy by
the Republicans (who control
both houses of the Legislature) to
kill any action at all on the 18
year old vote.
Election Endorsements
by Judy Novicky
The New Democratic Coalition
met Wednesday night for the pur-
pose of endorsing candidates for
the coming State elections. In
order for a candidate to receive
the endorsement, it was decided
that he must receive over 50% of
the vote.
The senatorial candidates were
considered first and after brief
discussion Paul O’Dwyer won the
endorsement over Richard
McCarthy, Richard Ottinger, Ben
Rosenthal, and Theodore Soren-
son.
In discussion, several members
criticized Sorenson for his stand
on Vietnam and his support of
Nixon’s nomination of Hayns-
worth to the Supreme Court
There was no endorsement for
governor since no candidate re-
ceived the required 51% of the
vote. After brief debate centering
‘around Eugene Nickerson and
Howard Samuels, the vote ended
with eight for Samuels, eight for
Nickerson, and two for vanden-
Heuell. Craig Baumgarten, a mem-
ber of Howard Samuels’ staff,
spoke briefly for Samuels. =
From several candidates con-
tending for the nomination for
Attorney General, Adam Walinsky
received the group’s endorsement.

Orestes is by far the worst play
Euripides ever wrote, and its cur-
rent production by the State Uni-
versity Theatre marks the third of
three times this year (Royal Hunt
of the Sun, Rip Van Winkle) that
good actings by students is wasted
on a bad play
In the story, Orestes and his
sister, Electra, are sentenced to
death for their mother’s murder,
and after unsuccessful attempts to
justify that murder on the
grounds of their mother’s infideli-
ty and cruel slaughter of Agamem-
non, their father, they decide to
kill Helen of Troy before they die
in revenge against her husband,
Menelaus, their father’s brother,
who refused to help them; but
Apollo intercedes at the end. saves
Helen and forgives Orestes.
In this unsubstantial plot,
director Albert Weiner saw yet
another in a growing list of plays
about the generation gap, (a list
headed by Hamiet, ) and with the
subtlety of a rhinoceros, Weiner
drives this idea home again and
again to the audience.
To accentuate the difference
between the generations, for in-
stance, he has the adults in the
play, the members of the estab-
lishment, Helen, Menelaus, Tyn-
dareus, walk in on stilts, an idea
Weiner borrowed from Michael
Kahn’s equally un-subtle Henry V
at Stratford last summer. And
though they dress gaudily, the
adult's faces are painted black and

Auditions for THE ROAR OF
THE. .GREASEPAONT—THE
SMELL OF THE CROWD will
take place at 7:00 p.m., Sunday
March 1, in the Arena Theatre of
the Performing Arts Center. Spon-
sored jointly by Experimental
Theatre and Music Council, THE
ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT
will be directed by Ron Abel. The
casting calls for both singing,
non-singing, and dancing roles.
Persons wishing to work on tech-
nical crews are also invited to
attend the auditions. THE ROAR
OF THE GREASEPAINT is sche-
duled for two performances on
the evening of Thursday, March
19, in the Arena Theatre.
Jo Mielziner, famous American
scenic designer, will visit the State
University at Albany this Sunday,
March 1, to address the annual
Weiner’s
white. The young people, on the
other hand, Orestes, Electra, and
their taithful friend, Pylades, are
dressed in drab gray, but their
faces are bare and alive.
In another attempt to render
the play pertinent to today’s soci-
ety, Weiner has an incestuous re-
lationship going on between Ores-
tes and Electra, and a homosexual
one between Orestes and Pylades,
both of which relationships being
iluustrated by rather full kisses on
the lips, and a total lack of sub-
tlety.
And as if Weiner still thinks the
audience has not gotten his point
that the three young people are
supposed to represent today’s
young people, near the end of the
play, he has then don granny
sun-glasses.
But the play is not without its
redeeming qualities. As stated be-
fore, the acting, with the notable
exception of Hermione (Harriet
Parker), is excellent, even in the
small parts of but one appearence,
like those of Tyndareus (Gary
Restifo) and the Messenger
(Joseph Geoco).
Restifo well executes the grief-
stricken, unyielding, but un-
deniably sensible old father of
Oreste’s slain mother, a very dif-
ficult part in this particular pro-
duction, because it does not fit
very well into Weiner’s generation
gap plan. And Geoco makes the
‘Messenger’s speech, often a boring
affair in Greek drama, one of the
‘Orestes’
high points in the play.
John McGuire, through his sub-
tle facial expressions, does well”
the cigar-smoking, puffed-up Men-
And smiling Ted Glazer
portrays a much more cynical and
sly Pylades than the laconic stoic
who usually befriends Agamem-
non’s son,
And the two leading roles,
Orestes (Michael Reynolds) and
Electra (Mary Carney), are played
with the emotion and delicacy
they demand. Orestes is lit
erally filled with understatement:
and it is a credit to Reynolds and
Carney that they invariably come
off.
Weiner's greatest feat with the
play, however, is with the chorus.
In a Greek drama, the director
must always deal with the long,
superflous choral odes, In this
play, the choral parts are sung by
Joel Aroesie and danced in mod-
ern dance fashion by an impres-
sive troupe in tights and capes.
The music is by Stanislaus Zak
But no number of innovations
and no amount of good acting will
make up for a bad play, and
Weiner’s total lack of subtlety
does not even allow his generation
gap theme to work, for he blud-
geons the audience with it, rather
then merely suggesting it. If he
had played the drama straight,
without the stilts, ete., the genera-
tional conflict probably would
have come across more effective-
ly.

REX! was hilarious. Even the

Best of all the cast was Bob

Taliped’s mock-serious depre-

Jay Kuperman, the faggot

brought the house down at their
rendition of a gay couple. Kuper-

Elections
To the Editor;
When five out of six candidates
for freshman class president are
students living on the downtown
campus, and when the sixth is the
only informed member from an
extremely huge uptown enrollment
of freshmen; then, i suggest ample
coverage was not given to the
upcoming class elections. I suggest
those empowered to control the
elections offer extensions to the
seemingly _ vestigial nomination
deadline. They should put down
their unwarranted, irresponsible
aefense of “Those interested
‘would have known,” and enter-
tain the factual realization that
htis is not so. I am interested and
I did not know!
Tam left now with no recourse
except to suffer the definite
handicap of a write-in candidate.
General consensus affirms . that
the election comes as a surprise,
but still, the election commission
offers no compromise, no retreat,
no fair answer. Whereby the ex-
tension of the nomination dead-
line could serve no undue hard-
ship on any candidate, and no
other ramifications except for the
creation of a fairer election, I
suggest an extension. I write to
those in control not out of sour
grapes, but out of the earnest
desire for review in this matter,
and to see a just and adequate
solution.
Hopefully,
Jay Glasser

Gentlemen, the word fuck has
been around for a long time. Far
longer than the ASP. For a thou-
sand years or more it has been
serving Englishmen and Americans
admirably in times of sudden pain
and smoldering anger. There are
those who even suggest it is a
historical base for the present
Western love of acronym, being an
abbreviation for “Fornicate! Un-
der Command of the King.” The
suggestion, spread largely by Scots
and Irishmen, is that the ancestors
of the English lacked even the
initiative to engage in sexual inter-
course, but had to be ordered to
do so by the King. Who, the story
goes, was by no means adverse,
being - well- a heartily curious
fellow. Now Parliament has ne-
glected to take this power away
from the monarchs, and should
ever a king with a keen(and
strong) sense of humor accede to
the throne, one can imagine a far
finer hour for the little island than
the Battle of Britain.
In any case, there is a queen in
England at this writing. So the
proper spelling is not fuck, but
rather fucque. So if you gentle-
men are apprehensive or nervous
at using fuck, then use the pre-
sently correct spelling fucque. For
who could object to a word that
falls on our eyes with such French
grace and elegance?
But please, don’t write things
like, “who gives a f--?”, or “
off.” It is so gothic and hypocriti-
cal to use spellings like that. There
is nothing wrong with fuck but
bad writing. Those who have
heard the work before will not be
offended. Those who have not
will be grateful for the new ad-
dition to their vocabulary. Fuck is
an old and even sacred word (in
an obscene way). It deserves bet-
ter than truncation.

appled orchards switched to
oranges and business was ruined
for lack of consumers. So were
the churches for lack of sinners.
Meanwhile, Mary Leakey, rum-

head, which she named homo

Nixon got on TV again at

Comment
Time
Student participation at all levels of the university com-
munity, especially
at the departmental level, is essential
if there is to be any hope that classroom education will
one day be relevant to the student. Implicit in the concept
of student participation is student power.
Last May, Dr. Evan Collins, then President of SUNY
Albany, issued a statement
reiterating the university’s
“commitment to the principle of student participation in
academic affairs.” What has
happened in the following
nine months? To what extent is there meaningful student
participation? To what extend do students have any voice,
any power?
The Senate was asked to draw up guidelines for faculty-
student consultation last May to insure the implementa-
tion of student participation.
These were finally approved
by Senate at their last meeting. Now the responsibility has
shifted to the individual departments (both the students
and the faculty).
Under these guidelines each department is required to
file a statement of compliance with the Vice-Chairman of
the Senate. If rationality is to prevail a framework is need-
ed.
We urge all departments and schools to take action im-
mediately. This is everyone’s
is already “tenure controversy” time of the year.
responsibility. Remember it

The university administration
has once again exposed its real
Position in the total university
community. The oppressive poli-
cies concerning on-campus life
clearly indicate daily that the true
role of the administration is not
one of simply providing the neces-
sary services to support an aca-
demic community, but one of
regulating behavior to suit the
needs of American corporate and
government powers.
In order to regulate on campus
life, the administration first forces
the individual to sign a contract
that leaves the individual without
any private sanctity. The recent
searches over intersession are clear
examples of the steps that the
administration will take to en-
force any rules that they feel are
necessary to keep their exploita-
tive powers
The refrigerator party policy is
an example. A contract was given
to a private corporation to pro-
vide refrigerators for the people
on campus. The cost of the rental
however, prompted many stu-
dents to obtain their own. Since
the corporations monopoly was
being threatened, the administra-
tion searched the rooms for the
so-called illegal appliances.
This same policy is applied to
drugs. Instead of the police them-
selves enforcing the laws, the ad-
ministration gives the resident as-
sistants or directors the power to
search a student’s room without
any prior evidence required for a
search. Prior to the passage of a
new drug law, the pigs needed a
search warrant before they could
search a residence. If any drugs
are found now under the adminis-
tration’s policy, the drugs are con-
fiscated and the information is
turned over to the police.
What can the individual do
against such an oppressive system?
One alternative really exists al-
thuugh this course of action has
seldom if ever been applied here
at Albany. Student power, man, is
your only hope, We must unite to
save Gerry Wagner, to make our
education more meaningful to us,
and just to make our lives more
humane. If we do unite, the ad-
ministration will be our servant
rather than our master.

To the editor:
Below is a copy of a letter I
sent to President Nixon. He’ll
never read it, But if the students
of this University support my
points, perhaps they will crawl
from their shells of apathy, join
PYE, and participate in our rally
in April. It will be much more
effective than any letter.
I am a member of the PYE
(Protect Your Environment) Club
at the State University of New
York at Albany.
I have, therefore, become most
distressed about the apparent
paradox in your stand on Conser-
vation and Pollution,
In your State of the Union
message you stated that pollution
is our foremost challenge for the
coming decade.
The articles on pollution in
Sports Illustrated during the
month of February thoroughly
nauseated me. It seems that not
only are people apathetic towards
pollution, but they will do anyt-
hing in their power to make our
world polluted.
Businesses say it costs millions
of dollars to convert their plants
so they do not pollute the air. The
taxpayer doesn’t want to spend
the extra dollars to put smog
devices on his car. It seems to me
that anyone who goes to jail
instead of Vietnam is crazy, be-
cause these may be the last
breathable years on this Earth
The greatest country in the world
is choking itself in its greatness
Pollution goes hand in hand
with conservation. It seems to me
that you cannot take up one issue
and ignore the other. Yet during
the week of February 22, the
National Timber Supply Act, no.
HR 12025, an act that will permit
the wholesale destruction of
woodlends, is coming up before
Congress. More trees would be cut
than we have the power to reple-
nish. I am ardently opposed to
this bill and I would like to find
some reason why anyone would
vote for it. I strongly urge the
defeat of this bill.
Last night Mr. Eugene Nicker-
son gave his initial campaign
speech in the New York State
gubernatorial race, here at Al-
bany. In answer to someone who
asked him if he would use any
means to reach a certain end, he
replied, “No, I will not resort to
violence.” He said he still had
faith in our political machine.
I, and many other young
Americans today are quickly
growing disenchanted with the
computer of American society
which reads in dollars, then goes
into an infinite loop of red tape,
all the while spouting sulpher
dioxide into our atmosphere and
oil into our rivers.
Can I have faith in a political
machine that wants to cut down
our resources which are unreple-
nishable? Can I have faith in a
machine that takes six years to
stop one company (of many) that
pours millions of tons of gunk
into this nation’s rivers annually?
“A society that takes from na-
ture and replenishes not, will
cease to exist.”’
Please answer my plea; if not
personally, then through the
mighty machine I am asked to
believe in.

Dear Editor:
On Tuesday, February 24,
while in the lobby of the Campus
Center, 3 male students called me
over to their table and tried to
convince me to sign a petition for
the reinstatement of a Mr. Gerry
Wagner. I am a transfer student
and I don’t know the man nor am
I familiar with the circumstances
which lead to his dismissal.
I tried to explain this to these
three “gentlemen” but one of
them got excited and accused me
of being apathetic to the problems
of the student. However, this peti-
tion was solely forthe reinstate-
ment of a former faculty member
it did not ask for the endorsement
of those who favored student
choice of faculty. When I finally
refused to sign his petition he
threw up his middle finger in
disgust. I was so flabbergasted and
embarrassed I didn’t know what
to say.
Mr. Editor, must we “con-
cerned” students be the victims of
these up-tight and obviously im-
mature “conscientious object-
ors’? If he hadn’t been so crude
and so “unconcerned” about my
feelings, I probably would have
been moved by his commitment
to his cause and signed his peti-
tion.
