Senate OK’s DA’s|
In Three Fields
by Stephen H. Goldstein
“When there are so many speak-
ers coming to the University, we
have trouble finding facilities for
them,” University President Louis
T. Benezet told Monday after-
noon’s University Senate meeting.
The large number of speakers
coming to Albany State Univer-
sity in the next two weeks
prompted Benezet to note that
“we have to honor official reserva-
tions.” He said that the Women’s
Regional Tennis Clinic, scheduled
for April 27, had reserved the
gymnasium in February for the
clinic. The sponsors for the ap-
Pearances of four members of the
“Chicago 7” had also reserved the
gymnasium, but at a later date,
and also for April 20 and 27.
The appearances on April 20 of
Abbie Hoffman and Rennie Davis,
said Benezet, were scheduled for
the gymnasium. The appearances
in thé gymnasium of Jerry Rubin
and David Dellinger on April 27
conflict with the scheduled tennis
clinic. Benezet said that the ball-
room and overflow space in the
lecture center had been offered to
the sponsors of Rubin and Dellin-
ger.
A University Senator suggested
that the physical education de-
partment find room for the tennis
clinic on the upper floors of the
physical education building. Bene-
zet said that the few days remain-
ing before April 27 would be used
to seek a solution.
Environmental Studies
Concerning the establishment of
an Environmental Studies pro-
gram, Benezet said “We have ex-
plored ways to get that started
without interfering with other
commitments. My hope is that
some sort of governance group
may be formed to share in the
decisions on what programs in the
University go ahead.” Such a
group might consist of the Univer-
sity cabinet (vice-presidents), the
Senate Educational Policies Coun-
cil, department deans and stu-
dents.
In its report to the Senate, the
Educational Policies Council
stated that “there is an agreement
in the Council for the need for an
environmental Studies program,
and EPC will make a recommend-
ation to the Executive Committee
in about a week for Senate action.
The Council’s report was in the
affirmative and included positive
policy statements,” according to
Academic Vice-President Phillip
Sirotkin.
Library Policy
The Library Council reported
that it had adopted a new circula-
tion policy which will allow stu-
dents to borrow books on a three
week basis; if, after the initial
three weeks, no one else requests
the book, a student could renew
his loan for successive three-week
periods for the remainder of the
semester. Fines of ten cents daily
from dué date would. be enforced
seven days after the date due. The
minimum fine would be 70 cents.
Enforcement of the payment of
fines—reduced by half when a
book is returned—will consist of
withholding transcripts of stu-
dents, although a faculty member
owing more than $15 in fines
would face only having hisname
“published periodically and cir-
culated widely throughout the
University.” Persistent student
and faculty offenders would have
their names sent to department
chairmen, deans and the Aca-
demic Vice-President.
An open hearing for the discus-
sion was scheduled for Tuesday,
April 20, at 3 p.m.
Senate Actions
Action taken by the Senate in-
cluded: the establishment of a
Judaic Study Year in Israel, a
Ph.D. program in Social Welfare,
Doctor of Arts programs in Eco-
nomics, English and Physics and
an Interim. Plan for Graduate
Student Representation.
The Judaic Study Year Program,
effective for the 1971-72 aca-
demic year, is intended “to pro-
vide a concentrated academic ex-
perience with direct cultural, lin-
guistic and social contact essential
for students majoring in Judaic
Studies.” The expected location
of the program would be Tel Aviv,
Israel’s largest city. Designed pri-
marily for upper level undergrad-
uates, the program would require
a 30-36 credit-hour load. Students
in the program will be required to
have the recommendations of the
Judaic Studies faculty. The

SUNY Cuts Enrollment
2,000 Students Denied
Study Abroad Program Curtailed
Sabaticals Eliminated
by Bruce B. Detlefsen
AP Education Writer
The State University of New York will be forced to deny admission next fall to at least 2,000
prospective students it originally had planned to enroll, as the result of budget reductions announced by
the Rockefeller administration Monday.
The governor's budget director, Richard L. Dunham, said the enrollment goal of 140,000 students at 32
state-operated campuses will be reduced by at least 2,000. The figures do not apply to the 38 locally
sponsored community colleges within the SUNY system.
Governor Rockefeller had proposed in his budget recommendations in February to increase the
enrollment by approximately 10,000 students, or almost eight per cent, The enrollment increase will now
be held to 8,000.
In addition, there will be no increase of faculty members and other SUNY personnel to accommodate
the extra students.
_ Dunham’s announcement included the observation that “increased class sizes will prevail in all of the
institutions.””
The new directive from the governor's office, in addition to holding down student enrollments and
teaching and other positions, imposes cutbacks that
: pS : ese ‘ —Curtail the university’s study-
abroad program that permitted
940 students from SUNY cam-
puses to attend foreign univer-
sities for all or part of the
1970-71 school year.
—Eliminate state support of
some research grants provided to
faculty members.
—Reduce funds for the purchase
of library books, classroom and
laboratory supplies.
‘Also. cut were funds for Al-
bany’s West Podium Extension
which upon completion would
have added 8 to 10 buildings to
the university.
Rocky Limits Fellowships

Governor Rockefeller has signed
two bills affecting students and

package of austerity measures in
the Legislature.
Eliminated have been State
Board of Regents graduate fellow-
ships in the fields of professional
nursing, arts, sciences, engineer-
ing, social science, and public and
international affairs.
‘Also eliminated have been sab-

Student Peace Treaties a Hoax
by David A. Pietrusza
An ASP Column
Central Council at its latest meeting approved the so-called “Joint
‘Treaty of Peace Between the U.S. and Vietnamese People.” The treaty
is a product of the National Student Association, which had already
been presented at at least two area colleges -Siena (where it passed
overwhelmingly in both a student government vote and a referendum)
and at St, Rose (where it was met mostly with indifference).
The treaty was supposedly negotiated by American students, the
North Vietnam Student Union, and the South Vietnam Liberation
Student Union. Now, exactly what right the students of these
countries have to negotiate for their respective people is hard to say.
It is also hard to say what right the National Student Association has
to, speak up even for American students (since less than 25% of
America’s colleges and universities are members). It also may be
questioned as to how representative the North Vietnamese student
organization may be, functioning as it does in a Stalinist one party
state.
Also, reliable sources state that the South Vietnam Liberation
Student Union only exists on paper, that it represents no constitu-
ency. Indeed, none of South Vietnam’s student unions (representing
the nation’s four universities plus Catholic and Buddhist Student
Unions) gave formal approval to the treaty.
‘The treaty contains the following points: a U.S.-North Vietnamese
withdrawl and the toppling of the present Saigon government. In
return, the VC pledges a coalition government and democratic
elections, the neutrality of Laos and Cambodia, and only the promise
of negotiations on the release of POW’s and the “safety”? of those
South Vietnamese who have “collaborated” with the U.S. and the
safety of American troops being withdrawn.
The plan has certain flaws. First, through some oversight, no
cease-fire is called for between North and South Vietnamese. Very
forgetful. Other lapses of memory also occur, usually in regard to the
reality of the historical situation of South Vietnam. Critical items
forgotten include: the U.S. -South Vietnamese offer for a total
cease-fire on October 30, 1970; the South Vietnamese proposals of
exchanges of POW’s of December, 1970, (which included as a symbol
of sincerity the release of 1,000 North Vietnamese POW’s); the
continued North Vietnam-Viet Cong violation of Laotian and Cam-
bodian neutrality dating at least from the early 60’s; the VC lack of
concern for cease fires and for the safety of “collaborators” as
evidenced by events in the city of Hue during the 1968 Hue cease-fire,
and the eventual fate of prior coalitions in Vietnam.
Viewed thusly, the “Treaty of Peace” is a cruel jest on the South
Vietnamese people and on the realities of the situation. Rather than
being a harbinger of Peace, it is a propoganda tool to be used in
subjecting South Vietnam (and possibly Laos and Cambodia) to
totalitarian rule.

Young Americans for Freedom
An ASP Column
How can one approach the idea of an indepen-
dently drawn up treaty (independent of the U.S.
Senate, the only organization which can sign a
treaty for the United! States legally and constitu-
tionally) whose major purpose, it appears, is to
demonstrate some sort of solidarity with the “Viet-
namese people?” Naturally, the Joint Treaty of
Peace Between the U.S. and Vietnamese People can
only claim to have the support of those Americans
who sign it. (‘Treaties ratified by the Senate osten-
sibly represent us all). But who are the Vietnamese
with whom. the signers are allying themselves?
Certainly I cannot envision a legion of American
radicals trooping through the jungles of Vietnam
soliciting signatures for this treaty. So where does
the support in Vietnam come from? Who are the
“Vietnamese people” with whom this treaty unites
Perhaps this excerpt from Nation, Dec. 21, 1970
will help us on this point. “On Sunday, November
29, a group of a dozen college student-body
presidents and campus leaders, headed by David
Ifshin (president of the National Student Associa-
tion) and Keith Parker of the University of Indiana,
left for Hanoi, where they arrived two days later
(changing planes in Moscow) and stayed until
December 13. In Hanoi, they met with North
Vietnamese student representatives to negotiate the
first part of a peace treaty between the students of
North and South Vietnam and the students of the
United States.”
“Qn December 21, the two American groups (The
second group was to go to South Vietnam but was
unable to obtain visas) will meet in Paris with
Madame Binh, chief delegate of the Provisional
Revolutionary Government: at the Paris peace talks,
and Xuan Thuy, head of the North Vietnamese
delegation, to announce that an agreement has been
reached.”
So, in a nutshell, the Peoples Peace Treaty is really
g short of a full concession to the com-
s’ demands, So what, you say? So plenty!
Don’t let anyone fool you. The Thieu-Ky govern-
ment is not widely loathed among “the people” of
South Vietnam, and they, the people, certainly are
not eagerly awaiting the arrival of a coalition (read:
communist) takeover, no matter what the New Left
might have you believe, Bernard Wolff, Vietnam
veteran (1967-1968), described (in National Review,
March 9, 1971) the political situation in Vietnam as
“the people” see it: “In a (remote village in
Vietnam), people tend to identify with the local
branches of the government, rather than the
mystical national government located in the great
city of Oz, otherwise known as Saigon. This is
primarily due to the tradition in Vietnam of having
locally oriented and based government, with the
most government influence being placed in the
hands of the village chief. One would expect,
therefore, a Vietnamese in a remote area to concen-
trate his criticisms on the village chief first, the
district chief second ete., with the national govern-
ment far down the list.”
10-2
So if local authority and semi-autonomy is the key
to politics in Vietnam Now, how might it be under a
communist government? If the destruction of Hue is
any example, it should be obvious to all but the
mentally bereft that the communists allow no
deviation from the Hanoi line on the part of any
village chiefs—the chiefs who now, under the Thieu-
Ky administration, hold the real key to self-govern-
ment for the people in Vietnam. How many
innocent civiians were murdered, and remote ham-
lets burned to the ground when “the people”
resisted the Viet Cong—the wonderful and, oh, so
popular Viet Cong?
It’s a sad fact, but the Viet Cong operates in South
Vietnam and recruits much of its “support” in the
same way the Ku Klux Klan operates in our South.
The key to success, for both organizaitons, is fear;
and the dissenters can be found in any of the
countless ditches beside the ruined hutches that
once housed the innocent peasant farmers who
refused to cooperate with the VC. This is the rule,
rather than the exception; policy, rather than
deviation, and the major reason there are no
courts-martial in Hanoi for these murderers.
And so I approach the People’s Peace Treaty
somewhat amused at phrases like: “We hereby agree
to end the war on the following terms so that both
peoples can live under the joy of independence and
can devote themselves to building a society based on
human equality and respect for the earth,” and
somewhat disturbed that so many students follow
unquestioningly like sheep and sign the treaty, truly
believing that what they’re told is true. So confident
that a withdrawal of American forces will bring
about a change in the VC, and that they will
become the benign and benevolent reformers truly
interested in building ‘a society based on human
equality and respect for the earth.”
But with American forces gone, the VC will have
what they’ve long awaited: total control. No demo-
cracy. No equality. No respect for the time-honored
Vietnamese tradition of local control. And what will
“the people” have? The totalitarianism which must
inevitably creep into a controlled society; the
oppression and terror which now manifests itself in
the VC’s “recruitment’. policy. And for those who
think this is the whole of it, here’s a reminder from
David Dillenger: for the purposes of convenience,
please send all letters and packages intended for
American POWs in Hanoi by way of...Moscow.
Hmmm.
So it makes me wonder what the real motives are
behind this treaty. Do the organizers of this project
really want to “help” the “Vietnamese people?”
Are they truly interested in initiating a lasting
peace? (Certainly no peace will come as a result of
this Treaty). Or, as I suspect, do the originators of
the Joint Treaty of Peace Between the U.S. and
Vietnamese People merely desire to embarrass the
President. “See. We negotiated a peace settlement.
Now why can’t you?” No matter what the motives
behind each cosigner (and I’m sure many signers
truly believe that they are somehow contributing to
the peace movement) the originators of the treaty
are out to shed some bad light on President Nixon’s
own efforts to obtain a fair peace—fair to the
Vietnamese people. And that’s all there is to it.

Psychiatrists Debate
Danger of Marijuana
by C.G. McDaniel
AP Science Writer
Two psychiatrists say they have found that young
people who smoke marijuana in moderate to heavy
amounts may develop serious psychological prob-
lems.
But two other leading psychiatrists expressed
doubts about their report, published in the April 19
issue of the Journal of the American Medical
Association.
“I think they and the AMA should be put in jail,”
said one critic, Dr. Solomon H. Snyder, professor of
psychiatry and pharmacology at Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore.
He and Dr. Richard C. Pillard, associate professor
of psychology at Boston University, questioned
whether the study presented sufficient evidence to
prove a direct connection between marijuana smok-
ing and mental illness. 6
The authors of the report, Drs. Harold Kolansky
and William T. Moore of the Philadelphia Associa-
tion for Psychoanalysis, presented their observations
of 38 young patients who used marijuana and who,
they say, previously had shown no signs of mental
illness,
They said marijuana smoking in the United States
“has now reached alarming proportions,” with
estimates ranging from 12 to 20 million young
users.
The psychiatrists added, “We have noted the
openness of marijuana smoking, which may indicate
a trend toward more universal use of the drug.”
From 1965 to 1970, they wrote, there was a
sizeable increase ‘in referrals to them of individuals
who developed psychological problems after they
started smoking marijuana.
Kolansky and Moore said they have seen other
patients who developed more severe problems after
using marijuana along with LSD and other drugs,
but they confined their study to those who used
only marijuana.
They reported on 20 males and 18 females, ages
13 to 24. Most smoked marijuana two or more
times a week and smoked two or more marijuana
cigarettes each time.
Vietnam Veterans Support
Immediate End to War
by Don McLeod
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON (AP)—Several
hundred fatigue-clad Vietnam
veterans jammed a Senate hearing
reom today and cheered when
Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D.,
and others called for an immedi-
ate end to the Indochina war.
“Right on, brother,” several of
the veterans shouted as they gave
a prolonged, standing ovation to
McGovern’s testimony before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee.
The veterans were among more
than 1,000 Veterans Against the
War who are in Washington this
week for peace demonstrations.
McGovern is sponsoring legisla-
tion that would terminate all
funding for U.S. military opera-
tions in Indochina after Dec. 31.
His proposal is one of seven the
Foreign Relations Committee be-
gan hearings on today.

them to be only “reasonably

Sen. Clifford Case, R-N.J., said
he was bothered by language in
the McGovern-Hatfield amend-
ment which referred to the Viet-
nam war as a mistake.
“T am not one who thinks we
went in with a desire to do evil,”
Case said. “Our intentions were

ate that “we beat ourselves over

University Groups to Sponsor
Campus-Wide Blood Drives
by Liz Elsesser
A University-wide blood drive
will be marked by two blood-
mobiles this spring. On Friday,
April 23, the dance studio of the
gym will be converted into a
bloodmobile and then on May 4
APA will sponsor its annual blood
bank in the Campus Center Ball-
room. Hours for each will be
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. As in past
years, a key will be offered to the
Greek group or dorm that donates
the most blood.
Earlier this year two other blood
banks were held, sponsored by
faculty wives. About 250 pints
were collected during a two day
period. The past years have shown
an average of 500-560 donors per
day. In one day about 450 donors
can be comfortably handled. This
will make two blood banks an
advantage.
The April 23rd blood bank is
being coordinated by Mrs.
Norton, a nurse with many years
of experience. She volunteers her
services once a month for this
purpose. Instead of the Red Cross
supplying the cookies, the faculty
wives will be baking them as well
as being the volunteers. Student
nurses will help out along with an
infirmary nurse. Norton feels that
this is the only way to make the
blood bank an all-campus event.
She has commented that the cam-
pus has been most cooperative,
but that the whole program needs
pulling together. The different
classes and APA fraternity spon-
sor blood banks each year, but
none of these are coordinated
under one head. Blood is always
needed so that organization and
expansion of the program is in the
best interest of the program. If

editorial comment
The Inalienable Right
Anti-Semitism is not a new phenomenon.
It has developed into a science over the last
four millenia. Yet, when it occurs anew
somewhere on the globe, one tends to be
saddened if not horrified.
This time, it is the Soviet Union which
receives the Anti-Semitic Award of the Year.
Not that this sickness is alien to Eastern
Europe. To the contrary, the Slavic peoples
can proudly claim that they were the first in
European: history to so malign and persecute
a people, the Jews. It is not altogether
certain, however, that the people of Eastern
Europe (the Soviet Union and her satellites)
have ever come out of the Dark Ages which
was the era of the birth of Anti-Semitism in
Europe.
Despite the economic progress the Soviet
Union has made in the distribution and
augmentation of goods, she has not over-
come the social prejudices and_ political
intolerance of the Czarist regimes. To the
Soviet Jew, therefore, the October Revolu-
tion has no meaning, His life is still in
jeopardy and his right to be himself is still
viciously denied. Russian Judaism is thus
being threatened by extermination.
To ask why the Soviet Union has deter-
mined it necessary to forcefully assimilate a
whole people is to ask why anti-Semitism
exists. The age-old political benefit of
“scapegoatism” is obvious. When the Five
Year Plan fails, it is natural to expect
Brezhnev to shift the blame from the Presi-
dium to a despised national minority.
Unfortunately for the Jews living in the
USSR, the blatant Soviet anti-Semitism that
we are now witnessing does not promise to
die. The day when we can finally herald the
demise of anti-Semitism will indeed signal
the maturation of the human race. But for
those who do not believe that the Messiah
-has ever come or ever will come, the Day of
Reckoning for the bigots of the world might
seem light years away.

T WONDER IF THAT
ANTI-THEET TRAP

KEPT OUR STEREOS sacc)
To the Editor: THIS TIME,
On Tuesday, April 20, an incident occurred during
an AMIA softball game which we feel significantly
shows the lack of organization which has plagued
this program since the start of this year.
We feel the failure of a smooth system has been
caused by the inconsistency of its director who is
Michael Yager. Without regard to the participants,
he has single handedly thrown AMIA into complete
chaos.
The incident that brings us to write this letter
happened at six o’clock yesterday afternoon when
Mr. Yager called a League I encounter between TXO
and Four Years After. The point of calling a game
which was set up before the season began, is a
regulation which we are in favor of, but not by a
person who was in no way involved in the game
itself, The umpire of the game did not make the
initial call; Mr. Yager used his superiority to be the
sole judge. The fact that the game started at least 15
minutes late was not brought to Mr. Yager’s
attention, nor was he correct in assuming that it was
six o'clock, when it was really 7 minutes prior. The
game was in the next to last inning and was moving
quite fast. The umpire even said the game COULD
continue as he knew the facts and wanted to give
both teams a fair shake.
We feel Mr. Yager has not fulfilled his obligations
as the AMIA director. Since AMIA is funded by the
students, there is no reason why one man should

Education Response
To the Editor:
Reading Miss Margiore’s recent column I was in
agreement in fact but disappointed in the scope.
Granted many of education students are not all they
should be, however a more appropriate allegation is
many of our students are not all they could be! To
hold our education students to a narrow double
standard, subjectively configured like all norms, is
the epitome of the intellectual hypocrisy that
permeates the minds of those who see teachers as a
target for pent up agression (the type of attitude
which has made the title teacher a euphemism is
circles subscribing to the anti-inteNectualism that
pervaded the Neanderthal mind).
If the teachers of a society are failures it is because
they are a mirror of the human collection they
represent. If our peers in the education programs
steal library material and plagiarize papers it is
because this sort of action runs through the ethic of
competition in our policy. Are al the papers in
fraternity files used by education majors? The only
library materials that are stolen pertain to educa-
tion? Hardly the case in both respects.
Our future teachers are charged with responsibility
or socializing our children. That will be a difficult
Job in itself, but don’t expect them to live up to a
standard, a standard we refuse to achieve,
Sincerely,
Peter Morici, Jr.

Political Power, Not Demonstrations
SURE - TLL PULL OUT A
HUNDRED THOUSAND —
WHEN I'M DaMVveD
Good AND READY |
by David Kopilow
Young People’s Socialist League
An ASP Column
The opposition of most liberal and radical stu-
dents to American policy in Vietnam is based
primarily on two considerations: the United States
has supported a series of unrepresentative, re-
pressive, regimes in South Vietnam and U.S. policy
in Vietnam has caused the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of civilians and turned literally millions
of Laotians, Cambodians, and South Vietnamese
into homelss, penniless refugees.
In response to U.S. policy, liberal students helped
organize the Kennedy-McCarthy campaigns of 1968
and the historic Moratorium in October 1969.
Although neither resulted in an end to the war, both
contributed to the growth of anti-war sentiment in
the country and thus led to important changes in
U.S. policy-an end to the bombing of ‘North
Vietnam, the offer of a standstill cease-fire and the
current troop withdrawls, But the Nixon Adminis-
tration persists in its support of Thieu-Ky and
seemingly still harbors the illusory hope of military
victory.
Nixon’s current Vietnamization policy is not a
people’s policy-one that will lead to a negotiated
settlement to the war-rather it is a policy for a
protracted war which the Nixon administration
hopes Thieu and Ky will win. We have no choice
then but to continue our work for a change in U.S.
policy for a democratic and peaceful solution to the
war.
Many liberal students think they can do this by
participating in one or all of the demonstrations
planned for April 24-March 5. We disagree. The
groups behind these demonstrations -- The Trot-
skyists in the National Peace Action Coalition and
the Student Mobilization Committee, and the New
Leftists (and a good number of old communists) in
the People’s Coalition for Peace and Justice ~ are
for the withdrawalof U.S. troops from Vietnam, to
be sure, We oppose U.S. policy because we want an
I told you Bob, with or without "Vietnamization",
it hurts like hell,
end to the killing and the South Vietnamese people
free to choose their own destiny. Unlike most of the
leaders of the Moratorium and Kennedy-McCarthy
campaigns, they are committed to a victory of the
Vietcong which would mean more bloodshed and
the imposition of a totalitarian regime even more
brutal than the Thieu-Ky military clique.
On April 24, NPAC and the PCPJ are co-
sponsoring non-violent demonstrations in Washing-
ton and San Francisco. Similar demonstrations in
November 1969 and April 1970 failed, Gallop polls
showed that they had precisely the opposite effect
than intended. They failed because they convinced
no one to oppose the war but due to their politics
(intense anti-Americanism, implicit and occasional
outright support of the NLF) they did convince the
undecided and wavering to support the Adminis-
tration in power’s handling of the war. The April 24
demonstration will be no different.
Unfortunately, the demonstrations planned after
the 24th promise to be worse--much worse. The first
of these disruptive demonstrations is scheduled for
April 26-30, the second for May 3-4. The latter
will be held in conjunction with the Ann Arbor
Student and Youth Conference which will present
the “People’s Peace Treaty” on May ist. This
so-called treaty which was signed by a few Ameri-
can, North Vietnamese government controlled and
South Vietnamese pro-Vietcong students includes
every important demand of the NLF Front, the
Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam.
Point 1 of this treaty calls on the U.S. to withdraw
its troops from South Vietnam, but it makes no
such demand of North Vietnam. Point 3 called for
an immediate cease-fire between the U.S. and the
N.L.F., but not between the NLF and the South
Vietnamese government or the anti-Communist
third force in Vietnam. Presumeably, the fighting
then will continue to the bitter end. Point 6 calls on
the Vietnamese (which Vietnamese is never made
clear) to form a provisional coalition government to
organize an election (with no international impartial
supervision) but implied that Thieu and Ky, who
won 30% of the vote in the last election, may not
participate in the election. And point 8 calls on
both the Americans and the Vietnamese to respect
the independence and neutrality of Laos and Cam-
bodia, but since the North Vietnamese denies it has
troops in either country, accepting this provision
would mean giving Laos and Cambodia to North
Vietnam.
Equally important, it is highly presumptuous,
dishonest, and implicitly anti-democratic for its
supportors to claim that this is a treaty between the
peoples of South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the
United States. It is impossible to know whether or
not the people of North Vietnam agree with its
provisions since their government allows them no
democratic rights. Most Americans would reject
such an outright capitulation to North Vietnamese
NLF demands. And most authoritative sources agree
that only 15-25% of South Vietnamese want the
NLF to rule their country.
It is particularly unfortunate that these demon-
stations are being held at this time. For almost
every poll shows that the anti-war movement has
finally won the battle for public opinion. Most
Americans now want the U.S. to end the war, or at
least its involvement in it as soon as possible. But
the fact that a majority of the people oppose the
war does not mean that Nixon will change his
policy. In fact, he won’t unless he sees this anti-war
sentiment as a political trend. But the spring
demonstration will minimize that trend - because
they like similar demonstrations will make many
Americans opposed to the anti-war movement than
to the war. If that happens Nixon can continue to
do what he wants in Indochina.
On the other hand, if anti-war students help build
a majority movement which can defeat Nixon in
1972, then Nixon will either have to change his
Policy or face defeat in the next election. We urge
all anti-war students to join with the YPSL in
building this movement now.

Black - Spring Weekend
by Stephen Aminoff
The purpose of this article is to
reassure people that if you hang
out this campus long enough, nice
things can be done in an attempt
to expand your cultural con-
sciousness. A new entity on this
campus, a schoolwide Spring
Weekend complete with festivities
at lower prices than you can
probably see them anywhere, will
‘King of Cellists’
to Perform
‘This weekend Music Council
will present the last two concerts
in the Spring 1971 concert series.
On Friday April 23 at 8:30 p.m in
the Main Theater of the Perform-
ing Arts Center (at the State
University) The Tip of the Iceberg
will be performed. The Tip of the
Iceberg is a multi-media event
conceived by Franklin Morris,
Director of the Electronic Studio
at Syracuse University. It is a
continuous perfomance mixing
films, slides, electronic music and
live action.
On Sunday, April 25 at 3:00
p.m, in the Performing Arts Cen-
ter Main Theater Janos Starker,
world-renowned cellist will per-
form works of Bach, Franck,
Debussy, and Boccherini, among
others. The Chicago American has
called him “king of cellists.” Born
in Budapest in 1924, Janos
Starker was introduced to music
by his parents at a very early age
and when he was seven decided to
become a cellist. He attended the
Franz Liszt Academy and after
finishing his studies he held the
chair of first cellist with the Buda-
pest Opera and Philharmonic
Orchestras. He left his native
country in 1946 because he “did
not like the atmosphere.” After
two years of concertizing in vari-
ous European countries, he came
to the United States where he has
since made his home.
After having spent a number of
years as solo cellist of some of the
major American orchestras,
Starker decided to devote himself
to appearances as soloist only. He
has toured all over the United
States and Canada, Europe, the
Far East- acclaimed everywhere as
one of the greatest cellists of our
time.

converge with Black Weekend to
form a blend of musical essences
guaranteed to provide some inter-
esting moments for the contem-
Porary music devotee. Three pre-
mier examples of their respective
tastes; Alex Taylor, Johnny Win-
ter, and Pharoah Saunders; are set
to perform at various parts of our
school, on the the weekend of
April 22-23-24, and SUNYA may
never be the same.
So it’s a mild Thursday evening
and, beneath a star-cluttered sky
you sit with a jug of wine in one
hand and a few blades of grass in
the other as Alex Taylor, of that
heralded Carolina family, bids
you listen to his distinctive voice
set to the music of a collection of
musicians known as “Friends and
Neighbors.” This pretty scene
may be less remote than it might
first appear. It seems that each
grade has chipped in to bring
Taylor onto the lawn in back of
the Campus Center for free no
less.
I know very little of Taylor’s
music, outside of what may be
heard on his one album “Friends
and Neighbors.” Suffice it to say
that I’m a little sorry that Tom
Paxton, the man originally sche-
duled, could not make it. Weather
permitting, however, good things
are bound to happen Thursday
evening, April 22.
People who read this section of
the newspaper with a certain ee
gree of regularity may recall an
article some issues back that
talked about this crazy guy with
long white hair who played some
fantastic blues to go with his rock
and roll repertoire. But then,
Johnny Winter is no stranger to
those of you who saw him last
spring or elsewhere. In any case,
with psychic aplomb, I told about
“seeing Goldilocks while you
can.” Well, you can. “Johnny
Winter And” is making it into our
gym with a new repertoire of
some good old music.
Playing on the same bill is
‘Tyrannisaurus Rex, a group that’s
making it to a certain extent after
kicking around for a few years.
They can sound good, also. In
general, fine things can happen at
this kind of show, just don’t come
expecting to enjoy a concert by
sitting on your ass’ and waiting for
it to end. To mediocre audiences,
Johnny is good; to living audi-
ences, Johnny Winter is Johnny
Winter.
Still, the baddest sounds may be
heard from Saturday night’s per-
formance at gym. The beautiful
little Sax player in the dashiki will
high-light Black Weekend’s gift to
the campus musie scene.
In you can grasp what it means
to be praying to God while you
play music, then you can begin to
dig up what is so captivating
about Pharoah Saunders. He can
take his sounds to the limit of
experience, where he can use his
instrument as an extension of
himself with which he can relate
his being to the world.
T'm listening to this early album
by Pharoah on the now defunct
“ESP—Disk” label. You see, it
wasn’t “cool” in those days to be
into Jazz, and brilliant young
musicians would scrounge to find
bits in small clubs, in beat-up
dance halls, in bars anywhere, just
to find a place to get their music
off and have some people listen-
ing, too. You had to be good to
have record companies want to
cut your stuff for public con-
sumption. Pharoah was good, and
got better.
So the man joins up with the
Coltrane family, and begins
making his presence felt on the
contemporary jazz scene. Now
he’s working with the finest; John
and Alice on horn and piano
respectively, McCoy ‘Tyner
making sure those keyboards
never got cold, Ray Carter back-
ing things up with a fine job on
bass, and Elvin Jones rounding
things out with his masterful and
steady percussion work.
‘A few albums and some great
moments later, Pharoah emerges
as a true virtuoso at Sax. He has
his own band to do it with how
and the results can be incredible.
But bear in mind that Pharoah has
this sense about to what extent
the audience is understanding
what’s goin’ down. I mean he'll
leave if he feels the lame crowd
blues comin’ on too strong. Come
prepared to enjoy, though, and
Pharoah won’t let you go. So
maybe I'll catch you at the big
Pharoah blast on Saturday night,
just like the Taylor and Winter
shows on the nights before. It
looks like these two’ new entities
as such Spring and Black Weekend
could provide some of the really
tight musical moments of the
school year, without running your
pockets into the ground.

Well, commercial it is, but

also has an affinity for light blues

about this ablum is the reunion

Ryan’s Daughter
by Tom Quigley
It is beyond comprehension as
to the real reason that Director
David Lean and scenarist Robert
Bolt continue to attract large
adoring droves of moviegoers to
their films, Their reputation for
producing “clean” epics became
secure with the great financial
successes of LAWRENCE OF
ARABIA and DR. ZHIVAGO.
Unfortunately the Lean-Bolt com-
bination may only stand for in-
stant money for they have yet to
prove that they can make a movie
worth sitting through.
‘Their latest and most inept col-
laboration of literary pretentions
and phallic symbolism is entitled
RYAN’S DAUGHTER a movie
that, frame for frame, is most
notable for its overproduced,
widescreen, panoramic emptiness.
It also confirms the tragic sus-
picion that David Lean’s once
dominant force as a major film
director has all but dwindled to
the adjustment of F-stops on
those huge Mitchell cameras.
Lean’s eye for detail does man-
age to bring back and element
sorely lacking from today’s films:
visual beauty. In their past efforts
Lean and Bolt have relied upon
the genius of Frederick A. Young
B.S.C., one of Britain’s most ac-
complished cinematographers, and
the formidable musical talents of
composer Maurice Jarre to gloss
over the gaps in their pithy plots.
Young comes through once again
and it would take a purblind idiot
to call down critical wrath upon
those images of majestic, cloud
swept mountains and the white,
of Red Shea, and the workman-
like bass of Rick Haynes.
Lightfoot’s voice is one of those
unique voices that defy mimicry.
This is partly because his voice
and his material are expressively
inextricable, in the fine way that
you expect a lead singer to inter-
Bolt is one of the most pompous,
over-theatrical bores who has ever
tried to foist a pretentious, liter-
ary script on an unsuspecting
audience. He seems to have no
concept of pacing or movement
within a plot because his dull little
forty-five minute story unreels at
a rate of speed calculated to lull
any victim of chronic insomnia to
sleep.
Rosy Ryan, daughter of an
LR.A. pubowner in Northern Ire-
land, falls in love and marries
Shaughnessy the town school-
teacher. Shaughnessy’s age pre-
vents him from cutting the erotic
mustard and Rosy pines away for
some phallic action. Along comes
a young, much decorated British
war hero and to everyone’s sur-
prise he and Rosy commit some
splendid adultry. Flesh out what
little you have with a gruff old
priest, a grotesque town cretin,
some energetic villagers and a
wretchedly developed subplot in-
volving an incredibly bumbling
group of I.R.A. revolutionaries,
and you have the soap opera
behind RYAN’S DAUGHTER.
Sarah Miles is charming in the
very substantial and well acted
role of Rosy. Robert Mitchum is
awkwardly miscast but does his
The New Lean/Bolt Failure
best as the gentle schoolteacher.
Christopher Jones betrays the fact
that he isn’t British by hardly
speaking. When he does though he
is surprisingly good as the stiff
British officer. John Mills’ perfor-
mance as Michael, the town idiot,
has been gathering unnecessary
overpraise from other crities and,
indeed, won him an Academy
Award over the much better per-
formances by Chief Dan George
and Gene Hackman. Mills is a
‘ great actor but the role seems to
cruelly exploit the handicapped
for entertainment values which is
deplorable. It is Trevor Howard as
the gruff old alcohol prone priest
who steals top honors in the
supporting roles.
Lean and Bolt can no longer
fool moviegoers with the fantasy
that they are “important” film
makers. Financially ailing M.G.M.
teamed-up these two men to cash
in on their commercial appeal. If
by chance they produced any-
thing worthwhile along thy way it
was incidental just so long as that
greedy lion could gobble up the
profits. What the lion has swal-
lowed whole is David Lean’s inte-
grity and proven that three hours

The New Albany High:
A
—rosenberg
Back to Drawing Boards
Certain architects will soon
be faced with very unusual design
problems, trying to plan a new
Albany high school utilizing pil-
ings already set in the ground
from a previous design. Actually
the pilings are there from the
original plan two designs ago, not
the latest design.
This situation, exists because
the second “revised” plan for the
new Albany High has been aban-
doned. Mayor Corning made the
announcement last week in keep-
ing with the recommendations of
an, appointed three-man commit-
tee which had made a study of the
problem-plagued new high school
venture.
Between $3.2 and $3.7 mil-
lion has already been spent on the
high school: $1.8 million on pil-
ings; $140,000 on excavation and
from $1 million to $1.5 million to
the architectural firms of Lux and
Quackenbush and Einhorn-
Sanders.
‘The committee appointed by
the mayor on February 10 found
the architects had made mistakes
in making the original estimates of
“several million dollars”.
The original plans were can-
celled in May, 1970, after the
construction bids came in at $36
million and upwards, 240% over
the architects’ estimates of $15
million.
Because of the excessively
high cost, the plans were revised
last year and a smaller, loss costly
design was arrived at. On Jan. 2 of
this year, construction bids came
in for one section of the school at
$20.5 million and up, 50% over
the revised plans’ estimated cost.
This revised plan was going
to utilize much of the original

The cost for the building will be
from $30 to $35 million when all
the law suits over construction
delays are settled.

nor calls for completion of .inte-

floor by late December, 1971.

ings completed.
pilings, and had to fit their layout.
The original plan was to build a
school with the most innovative
and modern structure.
‘The plans for the new school
began in 1965 when the site of St.
Mary’s Park on Washington Ave-
nue was acquired. In March, 1966,
the Board of Education issued a
policy statement that the school
would be ready in 1969, and this
was updated to the fall of ’68. By
the spring of 1967, the date was
again pushed back to the original
fall of ’69 opening. In the fall of
°68 the architects announced,
November ’71 was the target date.
During 1969 groundbreaking
and the driving of the pilings
occurred. Mayor Coming, during
his seventh re-election campaign,
that year, had this to say about
the new high school: “It is be-
cause of planning such as this, and
achievement throughout the
years(he has been mayor of Al-
bany since 1941) that I ask for
Democratic candidates for public
office in the city of Albany and
throughout the county”.
The mayor announced last
week that the city will soon hire
new architects for the project.
The original architects have de-
cided not to try again on a third
design.
The mayor also disclosed last
week at his press conference that
one of the architectural firms is
involved with other city and coun-
ty projects; among them are the
Albany County Sewer District,
the new Ann Lee Home for the
aged, Albany County Infirmary
and the planned Albany city li-
brary.
City, School Board,
Architects, Accused
For School Delays
William B. “Haessig a member of the three-man committee
appointed by Mayor Corning of Albany, to study the problems of the
new high school for the city, said on Thursday tliat the parties
involved in the project— the school board, the architects and the
mayor ought to share equally in the blame for the five-year delay for
the new school.
Haessig blamed poor communications between the different
parties involved and cost estimate errors on the part of the architects
for much of the trouble.
The architects’ joint venture made up of the firms of Lux and
Quackenbush and Einhorn-Sanders made’ substantial errors according
to Haessig. Some of the errors were made mathematically, some were
omissions (the firm left out the cost of 4,000 tons of steel in their
estimates) and some were transpositions. A $350,000 cost estimate
for one aspect of the project was changed to $35,000.
The member of the fact-finding committee also disclosed the
group had suggested the city hire a part-time professional engineer to
study the future progress of the school. The mayor has agreed to this
suggestion.
Haessig said the group had reported that a more conventionally
designed school could be built for $15 million or less.
Haessig, a state education department authority on buildings,
will be speaking tonight at 8:00 on the project at the First
Presbyterian Church, corner of State and Willett Streets.

Delays, Rising Expenses
For New Ghetto School
Another school in Albany has also been troubled with rising
costs and delays. It is the new Arbor Hill elementary school.
Originally planned for a fall opening this year, the school is now
expectedto be completed sometime in 1972. Contracts signed by city
officials call for a spring ’72 completion date, but many projects in
Albany have experienced delays in recent years.
The school will replace the present schools 5,6 and 7 in the inner
city. It will be an “open space” school, varying greatly in design from
conventional grade schools in Albany.
Last summer contruction bids for the school came in at $1.8
million over the original $4.5 million cost estimate. The building is
presently under construction. It was originally suggested it be built in
1963, and plans have progressed since then.
