KUNSTLER

A wall of admirers enclosed William Kunstler last
night after he finished his address to an overflowing
crowd of six thousand students in the Gym. The
defense attorney for the Chicago Eight had just
completed his speech at a rally which also featured
John Froines, one of the “Eight,” Guerrilla Theater
performed by members of the New Left Organizing
Committee, and introductory remarks by Norm
Levy of the History Department.

Bill Kunstler addressed a crowd mainly composed
of his people last night; he gave us a glimpse into his
newly-acquired world, and did it with a sincerity
and concern that were the distinguishing feelings of
a night which was markedly devoid of violent
confrontation.

Kunstler spoke on a variety of issues; he was
interrupted many times by enthusiastic applause. As
he stepped to the rostrum, the cheers and prolonged
applause of the audience all around him, the
Chicago 8 attorney raised his fist in a “Power to the
People” gesture which was immediately repeated
throughout the audience. After the applause died
down, his first words were: “I’ve said it before and
Fil say it once more: To hear that is worth every
day of 4 years and 13 days.” (a reference to the
period of time Kunstler was sentenced to for
contempt of court in the trial just completed).The
crowd once more avidly clapped its approval.

He attacked Neil Kelleher and his 28 ‘colleagues’
in the Assembly who attempted to pass a resolution
which aimed at barring Kunstler from speaking at the
University. According to Kunstler “He was trying to
do, in an ineffectual way, what Daley and the
Chicago cops did--- use the power of the stick to stop
the people.” Had he succeeded, intimated Kunstler,
“The State University of New York would have
been very sorry tonight.”

Kunstler launched into a discussion of the
Trial— its meanings and its ramifications. It marked,
he felt, the passing of the moverment from a period
of “protest” (1960's) to a period which he termed
“one of resistance” (the 1970’s). “There are three
stages in a society undergoing a change of
life--- protest, resistance, and then rebellion. We are
now in the second of these stages.”

In a haunting allusion to the repression of the
early years of Nazi Germany, Kunstler equated the
violence of Chicago (and public and governmental
reaction to it) to the burning of the Reichstag,
(Germany’s Parliament) in 1933.

“Chicago became, to the ruling class of this
country, what the Reichstag fire of 1933 was to the
leaders of Nazi Germany. Blamed on the “Jews and:
the Communists,” the Reichstag fire was actually,
according to Kunstler, set by the Nazis themselves.

“Tt was a device used to unify the nation into the
Third Reich,” against those who stood in the way of
the goals of the Nazi ruling class.

In the same way, the violence of Michigan and
Balboa Streets “became our Reichstag.” “The
carnage of August 28, 1968” and the trial which
grew out of it were actually “attempts of the new
Tuling class to cripple and destroy those who stood
in the way of a state which destroys and inhibits
free will.” The defendants were a representative

-~-benjamin

sampling of “those who stood in the way.”

It was not by chance that the specific “Chicago
Eight” were indicted. “They were carefully
chosen,” according to Kunstler. “The government
needed a black militant-a Panther- so Bobby Seale,
who had been in Chicago for a total of 16 hours the
entire week of the Convention-was the choice.” The
attorney then pointed out the specifications which
the other seven defendants fulfilled-stressing the
fact that they were fit to the charge, not charged for
their actions.

Kunstler then discussed the background of the
“Anti-Rict Act,” under whose provisions all eight
defendants were charged with the infamous
‘conspiracy.’ He indicated that the bill, discredited
earlier, was reincarnated in 1968 by Strom
Thurmond, among other southern Senators, as the
price for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
The irony this highlighted was bitterly described by

Kunstler: an early act from 1967, aimed at stopping
men like Martin Luther King from travelling to
other states to participate in demonstrations, had to
be reincarnated in order to pass the Civil Rights Act,
which had gained urgency because of the murder of
that same Martin Luther King. And so, this law was
the pretext used for the political trial of the
decade. Though Ramsey Clark, Johnson’s
Attorney-General, refused to prosecute anyone und-
er the law he firmly felt was “unconstitutional,”
Nixon’s administration, believing that “The way to
keep political power is to crush dissent” decided to
go ahead and indict the Eight.

The Defense, led by Kunstler and Len Weinglass,
had to decide upon how they would conduct the
case. They could attempt to merely defeat the
government’s case of conspiracy and intent to incite
to riot - which Kunstler called the “easy way out.”
Instead, they chose the more important, more
demanding route: “to educate the jury and the
people.”

And so, the defense was conducted on three
levels - They would attempt to show “Number one,
that the government’s case was a pack of lies;
Number two, what the life styles of the defendants
and their cultural allies was about; and Number
three, the reasons why they came to Chicago in the
first place, “to bring an end to the Vietnam War
Racism and poverty.”

The defense incorporated hundreds of different
witnesses in this attempt. Tim Leary, Allen Gins-
berg, Julian Bond, Jesse Jackson, Richard Goodwin,
even singers Arlo Guthrie and Judy Collins among
others. were part of the defense. “Judge Hoffman
did not allow Judy Collins to sing ‘Where Have All
the Flowers Gone?’-- there was to be no singing, no
laughter no warmth, no embraces, no sign of life in
Julius Hoffmann’s court!,” said Kunstler.

But life could not be thwarted, even by the
judicial system. The trial’s effect went far beyond
the conviction rendered. “Our trial has become a
symbol,” said Bill Kunstler. It states, unequivocally,
“This far and no further do we go.” The era of
resistance has begun.” :

However, Kunstler felt that the resistance need
not take the form of violent confrontation on
campus (alluding to the problems at Santa Barbara
last week). “Broken windows and red paint on the
Justice Department don’t advance much - they
merely give the ‘establishment’ something to point
to.” Kunstler also maintained that campus uprisings
are usually the culmination of long feelings of
bitterness, frustration and anger.”

And then William Kunstler took up his last attack
on Assemblyman (Ass.) Kelleher. “Maybe he’s right,
maybe we are dangerous,” cried Kunstler. “But to
what? The War in Vietnam? To a system of Private
Enterprise which dooms a large segment of our
population to a life of nothing? Values which revere
banks over babies? I hope to hell we are!”

Mobbed by a rush of students, Kunstler con-
cluded “If that’s what you’ve shown us, if that’s
what we’re dangerous to, then, Mr. Kelleher, you've
done us all a favor!”

Kelleher Petition Signed by 29;
Cain Calls Citizens to March

by J. Stephen Flavin

A petition designed to stop
William Kunstler and any member
of the Chicago conspiracy from
ever speaking publicly at any state
funded institution has been signed
by 29 Republican Assemblymen.
The resolution, co-sponsored
by Neil Kelleher of Troy and John
Gallagher of New York City is
currently in Rules Committee and
if acted upon early, will come to a
vote on the floor Monday or
Tuesday. Personal communication
with Kelleher revealed that if the
resolution is ruled unconstit-
utional it will never reach the
floor and never be yoted upon.

‘Abusing the Privilege’

Kelleher was available and very
willing to expound on the issues

Gruening Contrasts American
Policies on Israel,

by J. Stephen Flavin

And the war goes on...and
on...and on... Armed with a verita-
ble knowledge of U.S. foriegn
policy and a quick wit, the vener-
able former U.S. Senator
Gruening of Alaska fielded a ba-
rage of questions and comments
concerning his speech on the wars
in the Middle East and Viet Nam.

“There is no connection be-
tween the war in the Middle East
and the war in Viet Nam,”
Gruening began. “The two are
separate. Israel is a democracy, an
oasis in a desert of dictatorships, a
haven for Jews all over the world.
Israel deserves our help.”

Israel, according to Gruening, is
fighting a defensive war - a war of
survival. She does not have the
manpower or resources to con-
quer the 15 Arab nations aligned
against her on all four fronts. Our
aid to Israel should be given to
counterbalance military aid to
Arab nations from Russia, France,
and Libya. “We do not give the
Israelis the weaponry to defend
themselves-they pay for it! They
have demonstrated their ability to
defined themselves - we need not
send troops!”

However, in Viet Nam,
Gruening stateq that we were
“never invited.” This was a civil
war which we helped precipitate.
President Johnson says we were
asked by the Vietnamese to mili-
tarily stop communist aggression.
There is no record of a request by
the Vietnamese anywhere for us
to aid them.

Our involvement there, he con-
tinued, runs counter to every
principle of our overall foreign
policy. We bi-partisanly support
Tito, a Moscow-trained Com-
munist who does not have aggres-
sive designs on any country.

Gruening further pointed out:
“If Congressmen had done their
homework, they would have
realized that Ho Chi Minh was
also a Moscow-trained Communist
who feared the Chinese and a
policy of non-involvement in Viet-
namese internal affairs or even
foreign aid for Ho would achieve
our objective of Chinese Com-
munist containment.

“The Domino Theory, (one
country falling to the communists
would lead to the fall of another),
the excuse used by Presidents
Johnson ‘and Nixon for our pre-
sence in Asia, is bull. Our own
presence and failure to achieve
victory thousands of miles from
home should show that if the
Chinese did take over Asia and try
to fight us on the beaches of
California, they would fail, too,”

Gruening said.

Kennedy is not as guilty as
Johnson as far as our involvement
in Vietnam is concerned. Kennedy
only sent ‘advisors,’ it was John-
son who “lied to Congress and the
nation and got the blank check to
send troops.” Senators Gruening
and Morse were the only two
Senators to vote against the Gulf
of Tonkin Resolution.

Congressional hearings into the
incident disclosed the fact that

the Maddix, the ship allegedly on

routine patrol was in fact, a Pueb-
lo type spy engaged in a hostile
act supporting South Vietnamese
in North Vietnamese waters at-
tacking North Vietnamese shore
and ship installations. ‘The North
Vietnamese were correct in firing
on the Maddix. Though she was
not hit or attacked in self-defense,
Johnson used this as his excuse
for bombing the North in
retalliation for an incident we
provoked!” Gruening continued.

“No good at all has come of
this war. As a result, this war has
destroyed our country’s image in
the world as a peace-loving and
treaty-abiding nation. The war has
destroyed the faith of youth in
government. Also, the war has
limited funds necessary for do-
mestic priorities. The most tragic
of these is the loss of faith by our
youth in our government. This,
and our loss of prestige may never
be fully restored.”

If we pull out, won’t we be
responsible for the bloodbath that
will follow? Without hesitation,
Gruening fired the answer,“There

“ ASSICIATION

~ OF

Vietnam

is a bloodbath going on now,
ours! As long as Nixon is Pres
dent, the war will not end.
Nixon’s plan to end the war, a
belated proposed plan which
helped Nixon to be elected, is full
of loopholes - if the South Viet-
namese are not successful in
handling ‘their war,’ etc. are our
means of keeping our troops ‘over
there.’ The only way to end the
war is to pull out, now!”

‘The war in the Middle East can
only end when the Arabs rescind
their national policy of destruct-
ion of the Israeli State. If people
of differing cultures can live har-
moniously, it was not demon-
strated by the rival factions which
rudely interrupted the question
and answer period following
Gruening’s lecture.

The main focal point hinged on
the Palestinian question - or the
case of Arabs living in sections of
Israel before it was mandated as a
Jewish state.

Gruening claims these human
pawns are not allowed to settle in
other Arab lands by the respective
Arab governments so they mey be
kept an “Exhibit in martyrdom.”
Many nations, including the U.S.,
have offered to pay the bill for
relocating these people. Some
may not wish to leave their
homes, however. It is analogous to
whites in this land of “fellow
immigrants” telling blacks to go
back to Africa, and we'll foot the

bill-Phis lecture was presented by
the Capital District Chapter of the
American Professors for Peace in
the Middle East.

which influenced his counter-
Kunstler resolution. “Kunstler is
sentenced to jail and is free by a
legal gesture. It was the judge’s
right to extend that freedom, time
needed to appeal the sentencing.
Instead, Kunstler is engaged on a
speaking tour which has lead to
rioting. He is abusing the privi-
lege.” Because of the convictions
of conspiring to riot and the riot
at Santa Barbara following a
Kunstler speech, “these men
should be restrained to prevent
further violence.”

No ‘Cheap Publicity’

Kelleher expressed concern
over people’s rights to speak free-
ly but concurrently is “responsi-
ble to the district” from which he
was elected, He stated that “95%
of the people from my district
which have written in are in favor
of my stand.”

“T am not seeking cheap publi-
city. I don’t need it. I was elected
by a margin of 14,000 votes.”
Protection of his constituency was
the principle reason given for his
stand, not publicity or politics.

Kelleher admitted being con-
tacted by numerous individuals on
the constitutional aspects of the
resolution baring free speech and
confessed, “had Santa Barbara

been different, I would not have
been involved. In the future,
should similar events occur, I will
go about it in a different way.”

Assemblyman Kelleher will not
attend either the Kunstler speech
or the anti-Kunstler demonstrat-
ion by the Disabled American
Veterans. “‘This would be a cheap
political trick.”

No one from the Rules Com-
mittee would comment upon the
legal implications of the resol-
ution, but they are sending a copy
to the ASP for clarification.

Flashlights for Freedom

James Cain, former state direct-
or of the Disabled American War
Veterans, an organizer of the
anti-Kunstler demonstration and a
government employee at the
Watervliet Arsenal statedwe have
no intention of causing any
trouble, we just do not agree with
him (Kunstler),”

He expressed concern over
“attempts being made to under-
mine the American government
by groups in the FBI and Unamer-
ican Activities Committee lists.”
Cain called upon all “outraged”
citizens to come to Fuller road to
demonstrate, carrying a
“flashlight as a torch, a symbol of
freedom.”

PYE Lectures to Discuss

Population

by Donna Arnold

In an attempt to emphasize the
immediate problem of our grow-
ing population, the Over-
-population Committee of PYE
has decided to sponsor one week
of evening lectures and discussions
which will begin Monday night
March 9th. The series entitied,
“Birth Control: Freedom, Love
and Survival,” will be held in L.C.
No. 11 Monday through Thursday
nights starting at 8:00 p.m.

On Monday night a speaker
from Planned Parenthood will give
a talk on contraception. Father
Paul Smith and Assemblywoman
Krupsak will be two of the mem-
bers of a panel discussing “The
Religious question, or, Does God
Endorse the Pill?” on Tuesday
night. Wednesday night, Dr.
Michael Rosenzweig of the bio-
logy Department will give a lec-
ture entitled “Population explo-
sion, or That Kid You're Stepping
on is Mine.”

Another panel discussion with
Dr. Hood and Dr. Netter, two
members of the campus Infirmary
staff and two faculty members
will be held Thursday night to
discuss “Campus Ethics, or To
Screw or not to Screw.”

One df the items to be dis-
cussed at this time will be the
“possibility of contraceptives be-
coming more readily available to
the University students by the
infirmary.

Since most water and air pollu-
tion is being caused by large in-
dustry, many people can’t see
how they as individuals can do
anything to help prevent it. The
Population explosion is another
major problem of our envir-
onment which can be alleviated
only by the concern and action of
individuals.

The Overpopulation Committee
is hoping that, by presenting this
series covering the many sides of
the birth control question, the
students will become more aware
of and involved jn the situation

Growth

and will therefore be more an-
xious to help as individuals in
protecting their environment.

Throughout the week there will
be literature on this topic avail-
able at the PYE table in the
Campus Center lobby. Any contri-
butions received will be donated
to Planned Parenthood.

the Qverpopulation Comuittee or
next week's series, contact Sally
Feuerstein, 457-8072.

Loeal Group

Gives Advice
on Abortion

Kathy Reilly

Recently a group of area clergy-
men established the capital dis-
trict chapter of the Clergy con-
sultation Service for Problem
Pregnancies, part of a national
network which counsels women
desiring abortions.

CCS will aid anyone, married or
not, who desire assistance. Several
alternatives are discussed in coun-
seling but the Rev. Andy Smith,
Chaplain at RPI & spokeman for
the group, mentioned that women
who consult CCS have usually
decided that they want an abor-
tion.

If this is the case, CCS ‘will
provide information on other
states, and countries (esp.
England) where safe, legal abor-
tions are performed.

Although the group operates
“technically within the law,” they
are actively working to repeal the
outdated State abortion law, al-
lowing only theraputic abortions.
They favor leaving the decision
totally open to the woman & her
doctor.

There is no fee for the consulta-
tion; and appointment may be
arranged by calling 465-9977. All
that is necessary is a doctor’s note
certifying the lenght of the preg-
nancy.

MYSKANIA EVALUATION

We, the members of MYSKANIA 1970, having served one year as
the highest non-academic honorary at SUNY at Albany, feel a vital
and pressing need for consideration of ourselves and our future as an
organization. Through the course of this year, we have suffered much
verbal abuse concerning our role in the university; our awareness of
the feelings of the student body has caused us to redefine that role
and to offer the following evaluation and recommendations.

MYSKANIA is composed of thirteen highly indivualistic people
who were elected for their various and diversified contributions to all
scopes of university life. A natural consequence of this wide-spread
participation is the inability to meet for the purpose of working asa
group. As a result, the function of MYSKANIA is constantly in
question. This, in tum, has caused us to question our own role,
considering that the past traditions of this organization may no longer
be relevant to the present university. A further consequence is the
lack of respect accorded to MYSKANIA by the student body at
Albany.

We have, therefore, come to the conclusion that numerous changes
are needed, while maintaining the basic purpose of MYSKANIA of
serving as a non-academic honorary. Although we have been guardians
of tradition, MYSKANIA needs to recognize its changing role in a
changing society.

In due consideratin of the evaluation, the
mendations are hereby made to Central Council:

1) MYSKANIA shall be a non-academic honorary with ceremonial
functions only (e.g. Convocation, Graduation, Torch Night, etc.)

2) It shall be composed of thirteen members honored for their
outstanding contributions to the University, their leadership, ability,
character, reliability, good judgment, and initiative.

3) The members shall be selected by a screening committee to be
recommended by MYSKANIA 1971.

4) MYSKANIA shall no longer concern itself with screening for

Kuntsler Draws Thousands

continued from page 1

John Froines did speak also,
and was well received by the
crowd, though undeniably over-
shadowed by Kunstler.

A teacher of Chemistry,
Froines was one of the two defen-
dants found innocent. He spoke
before Kunstler early in the rally.

Froines’ speech dealt more
closely with his impressions of the
trial. He saw the entire process as
a “growth period” and stated that
concerning the 7 defendants and
their two lawyers “we've all gone
through changes.” “In the pro-
cess,” he stated, “Bill (among
others) has become a different
person,”

The trial changed things in a
more widespread sense, too, The
movement was different since Chi-
cago; “a lot of kids who never
knew before learned how to fight
in the streets of Chicago.”

The ten years since 1960 - what
Froines termed the beginning of
the movement - saw an educative
process taking place. “We've be-
come educated - we’ve found out
what America is really about,”
according to John Froines.

An appeal was made by the
NLOC for money to help out in
the appeal proceedings - costs of
which have been estimated as high
as nearly half a million dollars, In
an outpouring of support over
$1800 was collected1

In all, the evening was an
uncommon one. Fear of violence
bordered on paranoia, yet even
the media grudingly admitted that
the crowd was’ fantastically well
behaved. The speakers seemed
pleased with their ausience, and
the audience pleased with the
speakers

Frosh Class Election
Invalidated by Court

by Bob Warner

‘The University Supreme Court
at a special Wednesday night meet-
ing invalidated the Class of ’73
elections. The basis for the court’s
decision was the fact that the
election machine for Class of °73
officers was “jammed with paper
upon which were names of write-
in candidates.” The court, in its
unanimous ruling, declared that
Election Commissioner Jeanette
Beckerman was “within legal juris-
diction” to invalidate the election.

In the Commissioner’s own
words: “Upon investigation, I
found that there were papers
stuffed in the spaces for write-ins
for President. and Vice-President.
On these papers were written “Jay
Glasser” and “Alan Pallat.”

A further complication arose to
augment Beckerman’s problems.
Freshmen who wanted to vote for

their class officers could not, after
the election booth was closed
down. But they did vote for
MYSKANIA; therefore, their tax
cards were punched, and sub-
sequently they could not have
voted should the booths have
been opened again. This would
have been unfair to those who
wanted to vote for their class
officers.

Therefore, the Supreme Court
decided to invalidate the election
on the basis of voting inconsis-
tencies. “For reasons of incon-
sistency,” the Court said, “...and
to make elections just and equita-
ble, the Supreme court rules that
the Elections for the Class of
1978 be void and invalidated.”

The Election Commissioner has
suggested that the new election be
held concurrent with Senate
Elections from Mar. 23-25.

Supreme Court Invalidates Election

State University of New York.

at Albany, Student Association, Su-
preme Court, Decision on the Validity
of the Elections of the Classes of 1971
and 1973 of March 3, 1970.

RE: The referral by Jeanette Becker-
man, Election Commissioner, concern:
ing the elections of the Class of 1971.

The Supreme Court finds that the
evidence presented Is not justifiable
enough to void the elections. The
Court also feels that Election Commis-
sion conducted itself in an equitable
fashion. The Court so rules by a 4-0-0
vote (Justices Handelman, Healt,
Lieberman, and Potskowski concur-
ring).

RE: The referral by Jeanette
Beckerman, Election Commissioner,
concerning the elections of the Class of
1973.

The first part of the Beckerman
referral states that at 3 p.m. of the
stated date, an election machine was
jammed with paper upon which were
names of write-in candidates. Accord-
ing to bill CC 6970-60 (Election Pro-
cedures) Section VII, Election Com-
missioner Beckerman was within legal
jurisdiction asking the Supreme Court
to invalidate the election (6970-60,
Section Viil-trregularities). The Court
so rules by a vote of 4-0-0 (Justices
Handelman, Healt, Lieberman, and
Potkowski concurring).

Evidence had been brought out at
the hearing that after the class elect-
ions had been been suspended, stu-

dents of the Class of 1973 were
allowed to vote for MYSKANIA elect-
ions, using the original procedures for
voting. No attempt was made by the
Election Commission to list the stu-
dents who voted for MYSKANIA, so
that at a future time they could vote
for class officers.

For reasons of inconsistency in vot
ing procedures, the aforementioned in-
cident of jamming the voting machine,
and to make elections just and equit-
able, the Supreme Court rules that the
Elections for the Class of 1973 be void
and invalidated. The Court so rules by
a vote of 4-0-0 (Justices Handelman,
Healt, Lieberman, and Potskowski con-
curring).

The Court recommends that Elect-
ion Commission set up a new time and
place for the elections to be reheld, in
consultation with the candidates on
the ballot. The ballot shall consist of
the same candidates as previous, and
the application process not be re
opened. Directions for write-ins shall
be explicitely provided for.

So rendered by the Supreme Court
of the Student Association of the State
University of New York at Albany this
fourth Day of March, Nineteen Hun-
dred and Seventy.

Editorial Comment

Three Ring Circus

We wonder if Barnum and Bailey staged this
week’s class officer elections since it amounted to
little but a three ring’circus with each class vying for
main attraction status.

Let’s begin with the sophomore class (we'll save
the best for last). The present class of "72 placed an
ad in the February 27 ASP and paid for it with class
money. Supposedly the ad reminded students about
the open class council meeting; however,in large
bold print at the top of the ad were written the
names of the four class officers. They justify this
irresponsible spending of class funds by saying that
Campus Clipboard carries a notice of the class
council meeting every week. Let us add that the
ASP does not carry a paid advertisement of the
meeting every week nor does clipboard list the
names of the class of 72 officers.

Let’s move on the second ring of our three ring
menagerie: the class of ’71. The ASP carried a small
notice in 6 consecutive issues reminding the class of
°71 “that it has been traditional that there be no
campaigning.” One slate of candidates blatantly
broke this tradition by not only placing a large ad in
the ASP (by the way, what are you concerned
about?), but also placing their group picture above

it. The incumbents placed a game called “up with
the posters, down with the posters,” as if toying
with the morality of the issue.

Now for the class of ’73. It seems to us that the
tapering of a write-in candidate’s name in the voting
booth could only be a premeditated action. Election
Commission had every right to recommend the
invalidation of an election which appeared to be
deliberately bollixed up.

After analyzing this campaign one fact becomes
evident-few, if any, of the nominees deserve the
office they were seeking. eG

The Thaw

A thaw is coming. After years and years Spring
may be coming even here. A community is blossom-
ing. Inherent in the concept of community is an
active interest in everything that affects or threatens
the community. It would be fun to sit around and
bask in our new found sense of community, but
there are things to be done. Decisions are being
made about us but without us. It is time for a
change and time for action. Let’s wake up and play
the game for real. ACD:

Perhaps it is not Kunstler who
is sick, however. Perhaps the sick
cones are the people who tried to
stop him from coming and the
people who tried to bring him
here any way they could.

‘There are many important
points to bring out about the
proceedings that went on the
week before Kunstler came. The
various attempts made to stop or
to insure Kunstler’s visit were
perhaps more undemocratic than
Kunstler’s most radical thoughts.

First let us take the State As-
semblyman Neil Kelleher. Mr. Kel-
leher tried to stop Kunstler from
speaking at all. As long as Mr.
Kunstler is not under arrest for
trying to incite’a riot there is no
legal reason why he should not be
allowed to speak.

i ‘Thus, Mr. Kelleher, a state legis-

standard. What happened to the
old saying, “I may not agree with
what you say but I'll defend to
the death your right to say it”?

Next there are some serious
questions to be asked of our
student body. What would have
happened if the gym was not
going to be given up by the
basketball players? Do the stu-
dents (that constantly show con-
cern over minority rights have
the.right to force a smaller group
out of the gym against their will?
Would there have been an at-
tempted take-over of the gym if
the players hadn’t yielded?

Even though the basketball
players were in the minority they
had a right to the gym. This
should have been realized, since
there are dangerous implications
made Monday afternoon about
the majority dominating the mi-
nority. After all, weren’t the very
students that wanted to seize the
gym the ones who always protest
for minority rights. Another inter-
esting and dangerous double stan-
dard has appeared.

student power. The conflict here
was truly between student groups,
not with certain athletic officials
‘as some may contend.

The conflict was settled by
student groups in a matter of
several hours. If the right people
(students) had been contacted
first it may have even been settled
sooner. If an administrative fiat
were declared what position
would students be in? What would
have happened to our so-called
student power movement? Aren’t
the very people who asked for an
administrative fiat the same peo-
ple that have been telling the
administration to bug out of our
affairs. An extremely dangerous
double standard can be seen here.
It could have opened the door for
more administrative power over
students when we as students
want more student power.

It seems in these three cases the
parties have chosen to follow the
law or a set of rules when it fits
them and to disobey these princi-
ples when they don’t like them.
Yet, is this only characteristic of a
few people or can it be seen
consistently throughout our so-
ciety?

bahavior on the part of many
students wearing PYE buttons.
Care for the environment is evi-
dently “someone else’s problem.”
The air was thick with smoke.
There was miscellaneous trash
(uneaten food, half empty card-
board containers, apple cores and
related junk for sanitary land fills)
strewn on the floor and left on
the tables, despite the ready avail-
ability of trash cans.

It is well-known that students
have, in recent years, underscored
the “hypocrisy” of the society,
when describing America’s social
system. Perhaps, it isn’t too much
to hope that in the support of the
PYE program--which seems to in-
dicate a change in emphasis in
student action from minority
groups to a clean environment--we
may observe consistent, non-
hypocritical behavior by students.

Very truly yours,

Mysterious
Vapors

To the Editors:

Re: Picture front page of the
ASP by Benjamin.

I note the caption under the
picture depicting the services
building is as follows: “Pollution
control seems to be warranted on
our own campus as indicated by
the

‘mysterious vapors’ rising
from the Services Building.”
This “pictorial evidence” in

reality is not evidence of pollutant
“vapors” arising from said build
ing. It however, from other e
dences in the same picture, indi-
cates a relatively cool tempera-
ture. Indeed, cool enough to
readily condense the water vapors
(a product of combustion) upon
contact with the atmosphere in
the region of the stack, in the
same manner that water vapor
condenses near the spout of a tea

Sports
Scholarships

To the students:

A recent article in the
ASP(Feb. 24) has brought to light
the reasons why Albany State
University doesn’t offer sports
scholarships and is therefore play-
ing college division sports. This
article explains what must be
done in order to improve our
athletic standing in intercollegiate
sports. There are three main
sources for scholarship money;
the state or university itself, the
alumni, and the students and in-
terested groups.

The state at this time doesn’t
offer any scholarships for sports.
Most of the budget money is tied
up in expanding ayounggrowing
university or helping the needy.
This is the top priority as it
should be. Hopefully after the
dust settles and the university
matures funds can be set aside for
intercollegiate sports.

The second alternative is for
the alumni to help out. Until
recently Albany was only a teach-
ers college with a minimum of
graduates each year. In recent
years this has changed; Albany is
now a university graduating ap-
proximately 3000 each year going
into all walks of life.

The third route is to the cur-
rent students themselves, the ones
who have the most to gain. If
they’re interested, part of the
student tax could be used towards
scholarships. Many will not agree
to this but the issue can be
decided by a simple election. If
this proves unsatisfactory then the
students who make use of the
team by watching them play
might want to contribute to im-
proving the team.

Jack Adams

On Saturday, Captain Jack
Adams will play his last varsity
basketball game for Albany State.

Adams is a native of Slinger-
lands, N.Y., where he attended
Clayton A. Bouton HLS. (Voor-
heesville, N.Y.). There he played
baseball, and football in addition
to basketball. At Bouton Jack
averaged 19 points per game in his
senior year.

At Albany, Jack has majored in
Math and minored in Economics.
Some of his accomplishments off
the court have been; recipient of
the Warden Scholarship 1967,
elected to Who’s Who in American
Colleges and Universities 1969
and he is the Vice President of
Potter Club.

As a freshman, Adams averaged
18.9. He is playing his third year
of varsity ball this year. He aver-
aged 10. points per game as a
sophomore, 9 per game as a junior
and is currently averaging about

11 points per game. Adams is
known for his quickness and arch-
ing jump shot.

Among his athletic accomplish-
ments, Jack is most proud of the
fact that; he was selected to the
All-Tournament team in the 1969
Christmas Tournament, and that
he was on a team selected to go to
the NCAA small college Region-
als.

The most memorable games for
Jack were. the 70-71 victory over
LeMoyne at the NCAA small col-
lege Regionals consolation game,
the victory over RPI in the 1969
Christmas Tournament finals, and
this year’s win over Siena. Jack
has been on teams which have
beaten arch-rival Siena 3 of 4
times.

‘The immediate future will con-
sist of fulfilling some type of mili-
tary obligation, as Jack came up
no. 58 in the draft lottery. After
that a career in some field of
mathematics is hoped for.

The New Donovan Outlook »

Reflected In His Music

by Susan Hyrcaj

Donovan is god. I use a small ‘g”
becasue many people and things
are also god. Beauty is god, and
Donovan is beauty. As Phil Ochs
says, “He is one of the few writers
whose aesthetic is his own per-
son.”

He now believes in a “natural
high” rather than the chemically
induced high of drugs. But having
experimented with Mexicun agri-
culture himself, he should be able
to understand people when they
get their highs through grass and,
sometines, later make the transi-
tion to the natural high.

After these lavish words in
praise of Donovan, it may seem
strange that I don’t care for his
album ‘Barabajagel.” It has some
good material on it, especially
“Atlantis,” “Where Is She,” “To
Susan on the West Coast,” “Bara-
bajagal,” and even “I Love My
Shirt.” The other songs are worth
their weight in plastic, and that’s
about how sensitive they are.

The album I have in mind as
being his best is “Donovan in
Concert.” Many people don’t like
concert albums because of the
applause between numbers and
the disadvantage of live rather
than studio recording. However I
like the idea of getting away from
all the mechanical, computerized
gadgetry and returning to the un-
processed, human music. The in-

“Young Girl Blues” is beautifur
in the sympathy and emotion
breathed into it. It centers on the
loneliness of a young girl trying to
cope with a phony world. There is
a reflection of depression through-
out the song. Even the everyday
things seem to be against her.
(“Coffee on, milk gone. Such a
sad life and fading.”)

“Celeste” is a highly personal
revelation of the individual experi-
ence of living. It tells of the
changes and transitions being
made in a difficult stage of life,
and the anticipation of experienc-
ing many more things with the
help of another person.

It also tells of the dilemma of
capturing and expressing the fleet-
ing thoughts and insights which
slip through our minds. “My songs
are merely dreams, They come
visiting my mind. We talk awhile
by a crooked stile, You're so
lucky to catch a few.”

The most expressive lines are,
“All our sould are deeper than we
can see,” and “Everybody is a
part of everything anyway.” It
makes us realize that we have a lot

Policy

To Undergo Revision

It has, in the past, been the practice of this page to present one re-
view of a concert, play, film, book, record, or event. This presented an
opinion which was not, in may cases, the opinion shared by all of an

event.

Therefore, in order to present the readers with both sides, a second
review, written by a different reporter, will be presented when the ed-
iror feels that there is a need. This will not mean that the first reporter
was in error. It will merely present another opinion. The reader may
decide which he feels is more appropriate.

This policy shall be instituted Tuesday with a second look at

founded in 1964 by Mr. Harsanyi,
and is composed of twenty play-
ers, with a repertoire which in-
cludes Baroque, Classical, Roman-
tic, and Contemporary Literature.
In its past four years of tours it
has become one of the most
sought after orchestras in the
United States.

Conductor Nicholar Harsany:
was born in Budapest and came to
the United States in 1938 on a
teaching fellowship. During the

Council to Undergo
Power Separation

At last Sunday’s special meet-
ing of Central Council on the Stu-
dent Association Constitution,
Council passed a motion that re-
scinded action it had previously
passed at last Thursday’s meeting.
Lenny Kopp brought up the mo-
tion that struck down Mike Lam-
pert’s amendments to the consti-
tution that provide for two semes-
ter’s experience on Central Coun-
cil in order to run for Student As-
sociation President.

Kopp claimed that Lamperts
amendments were not in keeping
with the progressive spirit with
which the constitution is trying to
deal. Carol Tibbets argued against
the move saying that prospective
candidates would have no con-
ception of the immensity of the
job of the presidency, unless they
had had some council experience.

Ken Stokem and Lenny Kopp
pointed out that the qualifications
would limit the filed of probable,
possible candidates for President
and Vice-President to something
less than 10. Kopp further argued
that you can’t have a representa-
tive government without a repre-
sentative president.

Chuck Ribak argued against
this saying that the school is a dic-
tatorship anyhow. Dick Wesley
supported Kopp pointing out the
dangers of a credibility gap. Kopp
made the final comment before
the vote saying that the students
must be given the right to express
themselves.

Kopp moved for a roll call vote,
the result of which was 11-7-2.

Following Kopp’s motion’s sue-
cess, Ralph DiMarino made an
amendment that called for the

president to be elected by a ma-
jority rather than a plurality vote,
removed the president's position
as presiding officer of Central
Council, made the vice-president
elected by a 2/3’s vote of Council
rather than a plurality vote of the
Student Association, and made
the V-P preciding officer of Cen-
tral Council.

Lenny Kopp immediately at-
iacked this as “..still trying to
stick to the past with an elitist
government.” Di Marino said that
this was just a step towards fur-
ther separation of powers in Stu-
dent Association. This opened up
a whole new concept in the area
of the Constitution dealing with
the officers and their powers and
separation of powers between
Central Council and an executive.
To facilitate freer discussion on
this new concept Council moved
to a committee of the whole.

As a committee Council at-
tempted for the rest of the meet-
ing to work out a viable, working
method of separating powers.
General consensus was that there
would be a separation between a
president and vice-president at
Student Association and chairman
of Central Council.

It was undecided at this time
how and what powers would be
divided and added except that the
president would probably hve ve-
to power over Central Council
bills with a 2/3’s vote of Council
overriding that veto.

Previous tc adjournment Coun-
cil formed a committee to be
headed by Vie Looper and Lenny
Kopp to look into formulation of
the separation of powers further.

Changes

in Parking Policy

by David Peck
“Whereas, the present parking
policy of SUNYA discriminates
first against students and still fur-
ther against resident students be it
resolved that the Senate repeal the
preferential parking policy.”

Steven Villano has introduced
the above bill in order to make
residence hall living more like
apartment house living. He thinks
that since resident students are
paying approximately $600 per
semester for room and board,
they are therefore entitled to de-
cent parking facilities rather than
commuters, and the rest for resi-
denis. Students from Alumni
Quad who drive to school are
viewed as residents and also have

the “back of the lot” facilities
they now have.

The preferential parking policy
now in use sets aside the first few
rows for faculty, the next few for
to park in the back. In place of
this, the bill would institute a
parking policy of a first-come,
first-served nature, except for the
first two rows which would be re-
served for those with a special
medical parking permit.

Many residents use their cars to
drive to work or for student
teaching. Villano does not believe
that they will all park in front of
the lot as opponents of the bill
state. He also points out that com-
muters don’t pay $600 for room
and board. Villano doesn’t own a
car.

PYE Discusses
Sterilization

by Lesley Weinblatt

The diverse topics of steril-
ization and this weekend’s pre-
-teach-in conference were the sub-
jects of the Wednesday night PYE
meeting.

The meeting began with a dis-
cussion on sterilization and fea-
tured two guest speakers. The
first, Ken Lucowiak, a graduate
student in Biology, approached
the subject from a physiological
standpoint. He traced the concept
of sterilization to its inception in
the late 1800's. At that time, it
was used mainly as a vehicle for
publicizing the philosophy of Eu-
genics, the development of a purer
race throug compulsory steril-
ization of the lower classes.
Lucowiak added that population
control wasn’t taken into account
at the time. He went on to give a
detailed explanation of the actual
biological process involved in ster-
lization.

Following the lecture by
Lucowiak, Dr. Richard Brown of
the Physics Department addressed
the meeting on the legal and social
aspects of sterilization and abor-
tion. He announced that Senator
Earl Bridges has sponsored a com-
promise abortion bill that has yet
to leave committee. Dr. Brown
urged that all infavor of liberalized

abortion laws write their con-
gressmen in support of bill
S-8556.

The subject of this weekend’s
pre-teach-in conference was han-
dled by Sue Cypert, conference
coordinator. She made a desperate
plea for beds to accommodate the
400 people expected to convene
to discuss the teach-in scheduled
for April 22, The weekend will
feature several lectures and work-
shops, the highlight of which will
be a lecture by Congressman
Richard Ottinger on Friday eve-
ning at 7:30 in the Gym. Miss
Cypert urged that anyone who
will be able to provide a bed for
the weekend should contact her
immediately.

omission found in the lead story
of the Tuesday, March 3, 1970
issue, entitled “Kunstler’s

Neill Shanahan. The quotation,
“The place he should be right
now is in jail,” should have been
attributed to Assemblyman Neil
Kelleher. The ASP realizes that
this omission could have been
misinterpreted and regrets this
oversight.

BUST AND NEAR-BUST

by Al Senia

The following two articles should be taken as a warning by students in the University community.
Caution and precaution should be everyone’s guidelines for the campus drug scene. Dr. Thorne has
continually reiterated the policy that the University is not a “refuge for lawbreakers.”” The most
important fact to remember is that under current university policy, R.A.’s are required to act as
policemen. As far as drugs are concerned, they are not advisors to be taken into the student's confidence.
Until this is corrected, it is the student’s best interest not to discuss drugs with his resident assistant. One
should never, in any circumstance, show drugs to his R.A. Resident Assistants have no choice but to act

as policemen when given the option.

State Quad

Campus security, backed up by
state police, swooped into
Anthony hall on State Quad late
Wednesday night and arrested two
students on a variety of drug
charges. Between $2,000 and
$5,000 worth of drugs and equip-
ment were seized.

State police were called into
campus at the request of campus
security, following consultations
between the security office, dorm
directors, and Miss Norma Edsell,
Director of Residences. She noti-
fied Dr. Thorne of the action.
Presumably, he played a role in
the decision.

Quantities of marijuana, hash-
hish, LSD, mescaline, and opium

Dutch Quad

Two weeks ago this Saturday,
there was a party on the ninth
floor of Stuyvesant Tower on
Dutch Quad. For a short time,’
exits were blocked, elevators were
halted on the floor, and six Resi

dent Assistants guarded the stai

ways. No one was informed as to
what was happening; the director
claimed later he was looking for
candles. At the presidential press
con- ference the following Mon-
day, both Kuusisto and Thome
claimed to know nothing of the
incident. After speaking to many
people (including Thorne) the
true story finally came to light:
There was reason to believe drugs
were being used at the party anda
near-bust occurred. Two state
policemen were at the security
building, ready to lend assistance
to security in the event of a bust.
It seems a number of students had
been complaining both to security
and the student affairs office
about the increasing frequency of
marijuana and drug use on cam-
pus. One student apparently
phoned security gave a tip about a
planned drug party that Saturday
night in Stuyvesant Tower, and
volunteered to obtain informa-
tion. Dr. Thorne went to great
lengths to explain that, both for
moral and legal reasons, the uni-
versity does not employ student
drug informers; nor does does it
encourage such activity on the
part of students. At any rate, the
dorm director, who was new to

his job, was notified and went
upstairs to investigate. R.A.’s
barred the exits while the ele-
vators were halted at that floor.

along with a variety of pipes,
scales, and cutting instruments
were confiscated. It was believed
to be the largest haul of drugs,
narcotics, and refining equipment
ever found on campus.

The arrests came after the dorm
director became convinced that at
least two students “were possibly
involved with drugs.” He refused
to comment on how he reached
that conclusion, but it is believed
that one of the resident assistants
who was very friendly with at
least one of the students, went to
his room and told him to “cool
it”” as far as drugs were concerned.

‘The student apparently “cooled
it” a little too much. He spread

This step was supposedly taken to
prevent the students from panic-
ing. There was a report of a
student trying to leave and being
manhan dled by an R.A. However,
Dr. Thorne , stated that his re-
search indicated a student
attempted to kick an R.A. in the
groin. No drugs were found. One
student and his date were su-
spected of possessing a quantity
of drugs; they voluntarily went
downstairs with the director and
then emptied their pockets in
front of the director although
they were not asked to. They then
left the building. It should be
noted that no arrests were made
bgither by security or state police.
In fact, neither entered the build-
ing, except for Lt. Henighan who
was in the lobby of Stuyvesant
Tower for a few seconds. Nor was
Miss Edsell or Dr. Thorne notified
of the incident by the dorm direc-
tor. The major issue seems to be
that state police were on campus,
ready to make arrests. It is also
significant that there was little
cooperation from. any segments
of the university in our attempt to
discover exactly what did happen
in Stuyvesant Tower two weeks
ago.

Because of the large quantity of
drugs involved, it was decided to
call in the B.C.I. (Bureau of Crimi-
nal Investigation-state police)

marijuana, LSD, and an assort-
ment of other illegalities in front
of the R.A. to show proof he
would stay “clean.”

Unfortunately, for the student,
the R.A, had no choice (under
existing University drug policy)
but to inform the dorm director.
The dorm director called Lt.
Henighan in Security for consult-
ation on legal procedure.

Two directors then visited the
students’ rooms and asked the
two to go through their belong-
ings. The choice was theirs and
they agreed. The drugs were
found by the directors who noti-
fied Lt. Henighan.

The two students were arrested
and the drugs sent to be analysed.
Dr. Thorne stated yesterday
that he could not allow the
University to give santuary to
lawbreakers and also pointed
out that law enforcement agen-
cies have the right to come on
campus at any time. “The law is
on the side of the state police,”
he said. He indicated that future
visits by state police could be

expected.

Kodak Grant

State Universtiy of New York at
Albany is the recipient of a $1000
education grant from Eastman
Kodak Company. The gift, which
is unrestricted, is part of Kodak’s
educational aid program which
has been enlarged this year to
include grants for publicly sup-
ported institutions.

The grant to SUNYA is based
upon Kodak’s employment of a
graduate of the institution. It rep-
resents $250 for each year of the
academic courses taken by the
former student during a normal
four-year period.

Some $483,000 in unrestricted
direct grants goes to 84 privately

Kuusisto Statement
on Environment

Two weeks ago a proposal was
presented to President Kuusisto
that there be a Moratorium on the
alteration of our natural campus.

The proposal was made at the
President’s weekly press con-
ference by Edward Shaw, a
SUNYA student and a member of
both PYE and Environmental
Forum. The proposal asked that
there be “the absolute guarantee
that no further cutting of trees or
shrubs or plants, or alteration of
drainage, or introduction of new
roads, etc, will be done until a
hearing is held at which Environ-
mental Forum students and pro-
fessors in addition to PYE mem-
bers and other interested parties
of the University Community are
represented.”

Ina reply to this request Presi-
dent Kuusisto has sent letters to
Elwin Stevens University Archi-
tect, Clifton Flather, Administra-
tive Director and Anthony
Adinolfi, General Manager State
University construction Fund.

The text of the letters is as
follows:

The current concern with the
need to protect our environment
from further careless despoilation
evokes considerable response from
some students and faculty mem-
bers on campuses across the
country. Quite properly, these
members of the academic com-
munity are calling for the Univer-
sity to take a leadership role and
to begin with its own campuses
and their immediate environs. Just
as some people have questioned
the propriety of the University’s
growth in urban settings at the
cost of additional facilities with
what seems to them to be a lack
of concern for man’s basic need to
enjoy natural beauty and --above
all-- to survive. They expect, us to
weigh needs for physical growth
and change against any possibly
permanent destruction of nature
conceivable involved.

The State University at Albany
is one of several campuses in the
system where such concerns are
being voiced. In the past all of us
have assumed that the need to
provide facilities to satisfy the
rapidly growing educational de-
mands of our society was self
justified. Some, however, question
this assumption and expect eco-
logical questions to be considered
at every stage of the development
of physical facilities. SUNYA has
become a center for environ-
mental concern in the learning,
teaching, and research of students
and faculty associated with the

took a major practical step in
environmental imporvement by
converting to the use of natural
gas for heating.

In an effort to be assured of the
wisest possible use of our natural
and financial resources while
reamining committed to our plans
for educational service to the peo-
ple of this State, I am taking the
following steps:

1. I am sharing with you infor-
mation on the current trend in
campus environmental concern
with this letter;

2. I look forward to a closer
planning and development rela-
tionship between your office and
our campus in matters of environ-
mental concern related to con-
strauction;

3. I am requesting that I be
informed (with a duplicate infor-
mation copy to be provided Mr.
Walter M. Tisdale, Assistant to the
President for Planning and Devel-
opment) at least 10 days to two
weeks before any new con-
struction work is undertaken on
this campus involving moving
earth, trees, bushes, plants, or
major drainage patterns;

4. hope that representatives of
your offices may be able to share
with interested students and facul-
ty members here at SUNYA an
insight into your procedures and
goals because prejudices, rumors,
and lack of information produce
misinformation, misconceptions,
and ill-will where this can well be
avoided; and

5. I am encouraging the de-
velopment at SUNYA of a Cam-
pus Forum to elicit opinions from
and to allow for discussion by the
academic community on issues of
major concern.

In the interest of good com-
munications on this campus, Iam
also sharing this letter with the
President of our Student Central
Council, Mr. Terry Mathias, and
the local student campus news
media (the ASP- Albany Student
Press~and station WSUA).

Thank you for your help and
interest.

Sincerely yours,
Allan A. Kuusisto
