be even tougher for us since their

Competing in the newly organized Capital City Golf Tournament, the varsity
golf team captured first place over RPI and Hudson Valley Community College,
The tourney, held last Thursday, was innovated this year by Albany State and
Siena; it is set up along the lines of the annual Capital City Basketball Tournament
that is played at Christmas time. Although Siena collaborated with State in or-
ganizing this event, for some unknown reason its golf team did not participate.

Chaperone Attacks Informal Sorority
preferred to let the letter go unanswered
rather than stir up more controversy.
Leue alluded to the
possibility of violence breaking out at the
dance. ‘The mood of the students at the
dance was such, it seemed to me, that the
fact no real violence occurred was more a
matter of a lack of a trigger than anything
To say that it was animalistic would be
%an insult to the animal kingdom,”’ wrote
Mrs. William H. Leue in reference to the
Phi Delta informal party held May 1 at
Fort Orange Club.
Mrs, Leue, wife of Dr. William H. Leue
of the Department of Philosophy, made her
attack on the behavior of the students attend-
ing the sorority’s informal party in a letter-
to-the-editor of the ‘‘ASP’’ (see page 4).
Dr. and Mrs. Leue had attended the party
as chaperones.
Miss Lucy Parker ’64, president of Phi
Delta, declined an offer by the ‘‘ASP”’ to
write a rebuttal to Mrs.

rebuttal she would in effect be admitting to

The letter also referred to the sorority’s

Proposed
1964-65 Student Activities Budgets
Senate passed three of the four
major budget classifications Wed-
nesday night, but their action was
far from the expected rubber stamp
approval.
Vote on the fourth classification,
Culture, was postponed until the
May 20 meeting due to a proposed
change in the guest artist line of
Music Council.
The Council was able to sign only
four of the five artists they had con-
tacted, and a Senator moved to delete
the remaining from the line, Since
this would affect the estimated in-
come line, the delay was voted to
give the Council time to submit al-
ternate figures for the lines,
Salaries Remain
As in the hearings which pre-
ceded the submission of the budgets,
salaries were again a matter of
much debate. Motions to delete first
the salaries of both the ASP” and
the ‘Torch’? editors and then to
delete the “Torch” editor’s salary
were defeated, however.
Many of the questions and argu-
ments which were raised had al-
ready been thoroughly investigated
in the budget hearings, But as Com-
missioner of Finance, Art Ferrari
166 ported out, Probably no more
than five, more likely one or (wor?

Survey Defeated
Although the appropriation re=
inained (he same, Senate voted to
remove (he stipulation that radio
station WSUA be required tu take a
survey of its listening audience in
order to continue receiving money
for its UPT machine
Senator Debby tedinan 167 who
made the motion, called the supu-
lation “a threat to the very exis-
tence of WSUA,” Arguing tor the
stipulation Senator Bruce Werner
‘67, observed that “WSUA Is ice
and all that,’? but that if it did not
have an adequate audience, i did
hot warrant Student Association
funds.
The argument then turned to the
question of who would take the sur-
vey and exactly what it would meas-
ure, Finally President Art Jotuston
65 argued that ‘surveys were not
imposed on any other group,’? and
the Senate voted 21-13 to remove
the requirement.
Plastic Tax Cards
Two bills were passed, oue of
which appropriates $1,000 for the
expenses of providing laminated stu-
dent identification cards for next
year. The cards will bear a picture
of the student and will be used for
all four years.
A validating card, similar to the
tax card in use this year, will also
be provided each semester for ob-
taining tickets and publications, Both
cards will have to be presented and
the validating card will be punched,
The second bill as an appropria-
tion to the University Center Asso-
ciation for the purpose of contract-

man of the committee for the re-

ically tabled.

To Gain Support
Members of the ‘‘Freedom Sum-
mer” project staged a rally in the
Student Union last Sunday night in
an effort to win the interest and
support of the student body. They
are presently conducting fund and
book drives, and plan to send stu-
dents to Mississippi during the sum-
mer.
The Union rally began about 9:00
p.m. with the singing of freedom
songs. Mrs. Gloria DeSole of the
English Department and the student
members of various committees
then spoke to the students about
the project’s goals and the way to
join.
The rally closed with the singing
of ‘‘We Shall Overcome.” It was
the first time that the Student Union
had been used for such a rally.
Problem Serious
As Miss Clothilde Henry ’67 ex-
Plained, ‘'The purpose of presenting
it in this way was to jar the mem-
bers of this University into an
awareness of the seriousness of
the Mississippi problem, which is,
in actuality, a national problem,’
“Not enough people realize the
extent to which the civil rights
movement in Mississippi has been
limited,’’ she went on, ‘‘and still
fewer care.’’
Miss Henry was encouraged, how-
ever, by the enthusiasm displayed
by the students in the Union. Many
joined is the singing, but she ad-
mitted that she did not know if
they had joined the project,
Refuses Service
During the singing of the last
song, Robert Clark '67, who was
working behind the counter, refused
to serve customers. When thiscame

The action, taken at Oakland Uni-
versity in Rochester, Michigan, was
against 20-year old Wolf Metzger.
The issue centered on the results
of a survey on sex which Metzger
had intended to publish,
Metzger was following up ona

by rumors that pregnancy was in-
creasing on the campus,’’
The questionnaire received a re-

results and had them ready for

Metzger was editor of the ‘‘Ob-

Metzger had taken the position
that, “we are not acting as a pub-

The case of Wolf Metzger brings to our
minds some statements made at the stu-
_ dent: government conference. The state-
ments concern the purpose of our Uni-
versity, the definition of these purposes,
and the lack of meaning within the defini-
tion.
The catalog of the University under
the heading ‘‘General Information’? and
«the sub-heading ‘History and Purposes
of the College’? provides a section called
4¢Fundamental Purposes and Ideals.’’
We find that the purposes are re-
search, service, and an approximation
of intellectual competency. These terms
are vague enough to include or exclude
anything.
At the same time that members of
the administration were putting forth
these three terms they were saying
‘that the purpose of student government
should be to pursue goals ‘‘consistent
with’ the goals and purposes of the
University.
The constitution of the Student Asso-
ciation now reads ‘‘Not inconsistent.’’
This gives a much different meaningand
a meaning for which we are extremely
grateful.
The problem in Rochester, Michigan
at Oakland University is that the chan-
cellor could take any action by saying
that a student’s action was not consistent
with his iterpretation of the university’s
goals,
While we do not have much fear of any
similar situation arising on this campus,
at least as long as President Collins is
around, we do feel that it is necessary
for the students to maintain the wording
of the constitution as it now exists.
There can be many things which would
be in the interest of the student body
without being in the interest of either
the administration or the University.
If it were necessary to have every-
thing printed in the interest of the Uni-
vevelly: we could never allude is tage
ulty-student immorality as it now exists
or to the giving of money to athletes.
Certainly neither of these incidents
are in the interest of the University,
but the purpose of a newspaper is not
to be a public relations sheet. As Metz-
ger was quoted as saying, ‘‘I took the
Position that we are not acting as a
public relations medium for the uni-
versity and should be free to publish
news, even if it is not always in the
university’s interest.’
We feel that we are currently in a
situation where we can print anything
except something which would directly
interfere with the goals of the Univer-
sity. We hope there will be no changes
in wording which would endanger this
freedom.
Scheduling Faulty
It seemed incredible that the fra-
ternities would schedule their weekends
at the same time as the last major
production of the State University The-
atre. This scheduling annoyed us to
the point that we looked into the matter
and found that the frats have a cleaner
bill of health than it appeared at first.
The scheduling is controlled in theory
by the University Center Association.
But even here there is a further culprit.
It seems that the UCA, then with a
different and less meaningful name, did
not appoint its calendar committee early
enough and did not include people from
the previous year’s committee.
The result of all this is that Mr.
McKinnon set the dates for the weekends,
Your action makes us wonder, Mr.
McKinnon, Either you do not inform
yourself of anything outside your do-

Behavior at Dance
Disgusts Chaperones
To the Editor:
My husband and I have just come
home from an incredible experience
which had been billed to us as a volved,
“dance,” put on by a State sorority
at a local club belonging to acom- “se he

We could not help but wonder how
often this sort of orgy takes place
in connection with the university,
and consequently, how many faculty
couples have been exposed to it
without wincing aloud,
My high school sons tells me
that this sort of in situ jouncing
goes by the name of the ‘Big B,””

Perhaps this sort of mass hysteria
There was no overt violence, no
mass fornication on the spot, nothing

this performance more disturbing
than anything else was the total lack
of imagination and creativeness in-
that it was animalistic
an insult to the
we saw “Lord of
the Flies,” I thought it was over-
tonight,
The mood of the students at this
‘dance’? was such, it seemed to
that the fact that no real vio-
lence occurred was more a matter
of a lack of a trigger than anything
If there had been such a trigger-
ing event, we, the so-called chaper-
ones would have been utterly power-
In the face of such
hysteria on a grand
It makes one conclude reluctantly
this
that, left to their own device:
is tlie best such students are c:
ble of coming up with, It is a sad
and frightening conclusion to draw
for the general health of our col-
lege and of the students who attend
it
It bespeaks to ine incredible im-
maturity on the part of the average
student, and gives me a sense of
real pessimism as to the prospects
for the university’s possibilities for
turning out graduates whoare really
fitted, emotionally and intellectual-
ly, for facing the complexities of
living in the world outside,
animal
Tam not so
From the purely practical pdint
of view, I can understand much bet-
ter now the reason for the statement
made to us by the girl who asked us
to chaperone the dance that she had
called thirty-five faculty couples be-
fore she found one willing to baby-
sit.
ale, one can
could be justified as at least more
harmless than “mooning”’ or panty-
raids, but even there, one cannot
help but wonder, having sat through
several hours of jumping, scream-
ing, and butt-wiggling, to the pound-
ing, blaring beat of the band which
had been invited to act as a catalyst
for this acting out of combined re-
bellion, violence and sex these col-
lege students apparently accepted
as a normal way of ‘having fun,”
When one adds to this experience
the information that the owners of
the club were incensed by the fact
that some students had pushed a
car out of the driveway and down
the street some distance, one gets
a clearer picture of the emotions
being acted out.
How does one draw a line between
harmless spring rituals whose pur-
pose ts to allow students to let off
Steam and more sinister manifesta~
tlons of sickness in the student
body? I guess this would be hard to
do,

the kind of torture by auditory and
visual assault we endured, let alone
The best analogy which comes to
mind ts the descriptions one reads
of the phenomenon of frenzied danc-
ing by whole villages which occurred
during the Black Plague in the Middle
Ages, sometimes called the ‘Dance
of Death.””
There was no joy init, noevidence
that anyone was really having a good
time, It was compulsive sort of mad-
hess which had within it the seeds
of a kind of sickness I, at least,
had never seen before on such a
large scale,
to have to face the realization of
complete powerlessness to have any
kind of control over a situation which
one deeply deplores,
We had to face the disgust and
anger of the members of the club
who were present, among other
things, and certainly did not feel
we could in any way support the
behavior of our university's stu-
dents,
We could not help but wonder how
often such events occur among the
students, and why no one seems to
have noticed,
All in all, it was an evening of
appallingly anti-social acting out
T would not care to repeat, Sooner
or jater, I suspect the students will
run out of chaperones completely
unless some sort of modifications
of this sort of occurrence are in-
troduced,
When one puts this sort of thing
in the context of the general atinos-
phere of conformity and lack of ¢
ativeness which seems to prevail
among our student body, there is
cause here for some concern, unless
Tam being unusually alarmist.

Civil Rightists Mis-Guided
Sunday night we were treated to the sight of a group
of our peers holding a s*-called civil rights rally in
the Student Union, The incidents surrounding this milc-
stone in the history of the University only serve to
further remind us of the totally misguided and 0))-
noxious character that the civil rights mc’ement has
assumed on this campus.
Three students were fired from the Union when they
refused to serve customers during the rally. We think
this action was entirely justified. The Union is a plac
of business; it does not practice segregation. Il is 1«
place to hold a rally.
The students who have gained control of the civil
rights movement on this campus strike us as nothing
more than a bunch of do-gooders, who go aroun
‘twaving the bloody flag’? in an attempt to get every
one to jump on the good old American bandwagon
We compliment the bulk of students for havi:
enough common sense to stay away from this hand o
singularly irritating and completely misguided peop!
Civil rights is an important issue in America tod:\
It is not a problem which will be resolved with pani
ceas, sings in unsegregated Student Unions, or hil!
cocked actions,
It will be resolved only through a mature, sii
working out of the issues, We wish our more vehemwn!
civil rightests would gain a little maturity. \s

Fair, the Unisphere.

Saturday, May 9, 1964, was Worlds’ Fair Day for
the Statesmen, Accompanied by Mr. Peterson, the
male choir left for New York City andthe fairgrounds
at 8:00 a.m. Upon their arrival, the men and Mr.
Peterson invaded the International showplace with
six hours of sightseeing and two performances ahead
of them,
The group appeared at the New York State Pavilion
as part of the State’s observance of University Day.
Also appearing that day were the Sarah Lawrence
Singers and the Kingsmen of Columbia University,
New York City, Because the pavilion was open, people
could go in and out whenever they pleased, Mr. Peter-
son estimates the audience at each performance to be
“‘a couple of thousand,'*
At both performances, the singers were very well
received, They were surprised to see the number of
State students and Statesmen parents that showed up
to see the performance, Mr. Peterson was particu-
larly delighted to note the numbers of alumni that
drifted in to the pavilion and were able to catch the
show,
The Statesmen’s trip was financed by the Student
Association, although the men paid for their own din-
ners and amusements at the fair,
As an example of the way in which the performance
was received, Mr, Peterson noted that the men were
applauded long after they had stopped singing, One of
the spectators commented that the group “certainly
was outstanding among the others,”?
Once the 5:00 p.m. concert was over,
free to roam about
8:30 p.m,
the men were
the grounds on their own until
the time of the second performance. This

concert was much more effective, according to the
men, because of the lighting.
Saturday was a particularly lucky day for the States-
men because President and Mrs, Johnson paid their
visit to the 1964 World’s Fair, Most of the men were
among the thousands of tourists who crowded in to
see the couple as they toured the Venezuelan Pavilion,
Mr, Peterson recounts, that because of the crowds
waiting to see the Presidential pair, all transporta-
tion on the grounds was brought to a halt, To put it
mildly, the men who got to see the Texan were
thrilled and excited,
When asked about his reaction to the fair, Mr.
Peterson summed it up in two words: ‘big’? and
“ecrowded.'’ A veteran of a number of World Ex-
hibitions, ingluding the ones held at Brussels and the
New York World’s Fair of 1939, Mr, Peterson con-
sidered the planning to be “magnificent,” He was,
however, disappointed at the commercialism that
seemed much more prominent than at the other Fairs,
He got to see most of the National pavilions, but
none of the Industrial exhibits, Some of the exhibits
that particularly stood out in his mind were the
Spanish & Indonesian pavilions,
Generally, the trip was considered ‘very success-
ful’’ by the tired, but well-travelled Statesmen, Mr,
Peterson was particularly delighted with the men’s
performances,
“It's always a pleasure to work with such a fine,
clean-cut group,’ he delcared. ‘People are always
asking me where the boys are from, and commenting
on their appearance and outstanding talent, The Uni-
versity can be proud of the way they conduct them-
selves when in public, I am confident that this group
of young men is indicative of the quality of student
we produce at the State Mabveeelts

‘Senate Close Up,'”
The program on the Student Asso-
ciation Senate, contrary to the opine
ions voiced by several senators, was
not just a “good comedy show,”
The comedy that was on the pro-
gram was the comedy of some of
the senators and served to point out
their foibles. If someone is afraid
