Concerned Students Hear
On Biafra Crisis
Speakers
by Valerie Ives
“By December, if the situation
doesn’t change, 25,900 people a
day will die of starvation in
Biafra.” This statement was made
by Walter Ofonagoro, one of the
speakers at an informal meeting
Tuesday night of students
concerned about the shocking
situation,.in Biafra. The other
speaker was Mary Umolu.
Ofonagoro began by reviewing
the history of Biafra and the
political difficulties that led to the
present crisis there. He went into
how Nigeria is trying “to wipe
Biafrans from the face of the
Umolu noted tnat deliberate
starvation is not the only method
hy which Nigeria is trying to wipe
out the Biafrans. They are also
killing boys over the age of eight
years, abusing the women, and
depriving children of protein,
which will make them mentally
deficient.
People asked why the Biafrans

Plans by the Student-Faculty
Committee for Equal Opportunity
to boycott the purchase of
California grapes by picketing
Jocal supermarkets at Stuyvesant
Plaza on Friday met with legal
obstacles.
The Committee had originally
planned to picket Grand Union
and Central Markets at the Plaza
since the stores had refused to
cooperate with their request to
halt the purchase and sale of
California grapes. Plans were
revised when it was learned that
Stuyvesant Plaza is private
property and large-scale picketing
and distributing of printed
material would be illegal.
It was decided that two people
carrying posters would be
stationed in front of each store in
continuing shifts. The stores were
boycotted on Friday and
Saturday during store hours. The
Committee plans to resume this
schedule next weekend.

The two speakers also urged
that political pressure be applied
to the United States government
in order to get a cease fire. Umolu
charged the United States with
not wanting to change the face of
Nigeria, yet the United States has
greatly changed its face.
She went on to say that
Senator Brooke had reported to
the U.S. government that
genocide did not exist in Biafra.
She was told that “He travelled
with three women, and the three
women were afraid to go to
Biafra.” She said, therefore, that
the Senator could not say that
genocide didn’t exist because he
had not even been there.

MYSKANIA Recommends
End Of Chaperone Policy
MYSKANIA ’68 has announced
its position on the chaperone
policy and. sent its
recammendation to LAAC. The
proposals are expected to be
discussed at the Central Council
meeting next Thursday. On the
basis of the following rationale,
MYSKANIA proposes: 1. That
the present chaperone
policy be abolished, 2. that no
chaperone be required at any
student event.
“This University’s chaperone
policy has long been under
consideration for revision. Despite

Committee has refused to

the fact that no fewer than three
ad hoc committees of Central
Council have studied the present
policy, no revision has yet been
effected. As a result, for reasons
of practicality, the chaperone
policy has not been, and is not
now, rigidly enforced. It is not a
viable system. It is ambiguously
worded and its mechanics seem
arbitrarily conceived. Most
importantly, -however, the
underlying assumptions of the
chaperone policy imply a concept
of student responsibility that we
cannot accept.”
“The present policy implies
that students are able to organize
events independently and
responsibly, finance them
independently and responsibly,
but are unable to carry them out
without supervision. We cannot
accept this line of reasoning which
is inconsistent with present trends
in the University. In the Alcohol
and Women’s Hours proposals,
and in general, this University has
shown that it will not assume the
position of “inloco parentis”’ as it
applies to individual student
responsibility.
“What, in

fact, does a
Under present
policy, the chaperone is asked to
attend a particular event. He need
not appear at that event at any
specific time and need not remain
for any specific amount of time.
In fact, he need not even appear,
for if he does not the event will go
‘on as planned regardless of his
attendence, What then is the
chaperone’s legal responsibility?
Under present policy he has none.
He is no more and no less a guest
of the student group.”
“Why then, must it be
mandated that a chaperone be
present? Considering the above, it
becomes increasingly
obvious that a chaperone is
needed for no other reason than
to lend an air of supposed
respectability to the event.
The conclusion we are forced
to is that the present chaperone
policy serves no other purpose
than to accommodate standards
of middle-class morality which
can only hinder progress toward
the total recognition of individual
responsibility of students.”
“We feel that a modification
which would more clearly define
the role of the chaperone and
decrease the impractical

Credit Hours

of doing away with the present
system of credit hours.
Dick Collier, head of the
Commission, is now looking into
the possibilities of raising the

Collier said that some limit

students would tend to take on

Student Tax
Referendum
Protested
Students protesting the
conditions under which the
Student Tax Referendum was
passed are now circulating
petitions demanding the
invalidation of the referendum.
The following assertions were
made concerning the election
procedures:
i, Many students were unable
to vote due to a delay in the
distribution of required activity
cards.
2, The athletic fee of $17.50 a
year was not publicized, but
rather appeared as a ‘rider’ in the
bill.
3. Tt was not clear to many
students that the referendum was
other than an opinion poll.
4, At least a 2/3 vote should be
required to pass the mandatory
student tax since this involves the
restriction of basic student
liberties.
Petitions are being circulated at
each quad dinner line. For
commuters, petitions will be
available at the Campus Center
Dining Hall during the day.
The leaders of the movement,
Paul Schlecht and Steve Kichen,
have asked that they be notified
of any difficulties any student
may have had in voting at

President Evan R. Collins
discussed future building plans of
the University and clarified several
library operations at the
President’s Conference with
Students yesterday.
Collins noted that money for
building is alloted in two ways.
First, financial provisions are
made in the budget for planning
new additions. Then after the
planning is completed, money is
then budgeted for construction.
“{t is very rare when monies are
budgeted for planning and
construction of a building in the
same year,” Collins commented.
At present, a field house is in
the planning stages, Collins
disclosed. The structure will
contain an Olympic pool, an
indoor rink, and a 200x300 foot
arena.
Planning monies are also
currently being used to design an

The use of the recently aquired
land across Fuller Road was also
discussed. Plans now call for
married student housing and a
Conference Center to be
constructed on the 100 acre plot.
Collins also tied up a few of the
loose ends from _lastweek’s
conference. He disclosed that
Lecture Room 1 would remain
open all night starting this week.
The purpose is to give students a
quiet place to study.
Collins further disclosed that
construction will begin in 1969
for an underground parking
facility where the temporary
Colonial Quad parking lot now
exists.
Dr. Clifton C, Thorne, Vice
President for Student Affairs, was
also present at the conference.

The Class of "71 sponsored a
clean-up project at the Trinity
Institute Youth Center in
Albany’s South End district last
week. This project marks the
beginning of a new direction in
the class government.
Economy
Balancing
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (UPI)—
President Johnson’s chief econ-
omist said in a rosy election-
evereport Monday that the
battle against inflation is being
won and “we have turned the
corner toward price stability.”
Press Secretary George Chris-
tian, asked if there was any
connection between the report
by Arthur M. Okun, chairman
of the Council of Economic
Advisers, and Tuesday’s ballot-
ing, said “of course not.”
“The most recent economic
news provides growing evidence
that the economy is moving into
better balance and that we have
turned the corner toward price
stability,” Okun said.
“Jt should be emphasized that
our over-all price performance
is still far from satisfactory,”
he added. “But improvement is
a fact—and no ‘longer just a
forecast.”
Johnson spent a “normal
work day” at the LBJ Ranch
Monday, Christian said, while
the presidential candidates were
in the 11th hour of their
campaigns.
The Chief Executive and his
wife Lady Bird planned to: drive
15 miles from the ranch to
Johnson City Tuesday to vote
. for . Hubert .H.. Humphrey.
The class officers feel that their
purpose as a governmental body
should be to provide as many
outlets as possible for student
participation. They expect to
continue to plan social events, but
these standard events shall be
coupled with projects which will
provide the opportunity to work
in their new direction.
Thirty-one people responded to
the class’ “Get Dirty” campaign.
By meeting people who had
experienced such problems, the
students were able to recognize
what the problems in Albany’s
South End really were.
‘The class officers, Dick Wesley,
President; Ralph DiMarino, Vice
President; Bonnie Weatherup,
Secretary; and Jeri Yoswein,
Treasurer hope to bring the real
world into the ‘‘sterile
atmosphere” of the University
Campus through projects like the
Trinity Institute. It is their hope
that their classmates will take
their knowledge “beyond the
realm of high ideas and idle
phrases-”

It might be noted that Collins

Tax Policy
Further By
y Don Stankavage
Following last Week's passage
of Mandatory Student Tax,
Central Council initiated two bills
which futher define the new tax
policy. The first bill delegated
power to Financial Aids to
determine exemptions on the
basis of economic need. The final
appeal for exemption will be the
Student Tax Committee.
The next bill defined the
penalty for non-payment of
Student Tax. Central Council, in
the name of the Student
Association, gave the Registrar
power to withhold grades or
transfer credit unless waiver of
payment wes granted by Central
Council or Financial Aids.
In response to President
Collins’s criticism, Council passed
another bill for implementation of
the University Athletic Council
(UAC) Report. In a spirit of
co-operation and with the hope of
swift action by the President,
Council retracted its statement of
non-support of the UAC Report.
Previously, Council had stated
that it would not support UAC
unless its recommendation, which
was, in effect, majority student
membership on the proposed
Athletic Council, was accepted by
the President.
WaterburyExperiment,
Two WeekOpen House
Waterbury Hall will hold an
experimental open house in an
attempt to liberalize the present
policy of the University, which
states that all doors must be kept
open at any Open-House, and that
there must be supervisors on duty
at all times during the time it is in
progress.
The Waterbury experiment will
consist of a constant open house
from November 8 to November
22 in which there will be no
supervisors and no sign-in. On
week days it will end at 10:45
p.m, and on weekends it will end
at 12:45 a.m.
The reason behind the
experiment is that the students
want to be given more trust and
responsibility and feel that it is,
about time that they receive
it.
They cited as examples the
liberality of the Union and R.P.L.
colleges’ policies on the subject.
Most students believe that the
University should completely
abolish the Open House and that
they should be allowed to have
visitors of the opposite sex in
their rooms at any time, as is the

Great Exceptions
‘To the Editor:
Now that the mandatory fee
has been passed by the students, I
believe that it is necessary that the
Proper views be given to the
situation. I, therefore, take great
exception to the article that
appeared above the, banner-head
of the ASP last Tuesday.
It was accurate to some extent,
but in other ways it was both
inaccurate and mistaken.
First, the phrase “naturally
expressed pleasure’ was
editorializing on the part of the
reporter. If someone from the
ASP would like to make
comments about what they think
I naturally take pleasure in, these
thoughts ought to be confined to
the editorial page.
Secondly, the reporting was
grossly inaccurate. With regards to
the married students tax card, it is
not true that the non-student
spouse of a State student can buy
a tax card at an INCREASED
rate; rather, this non-student can
buy a card for himself at a
decreased rate from the rate he
would pay as a student. It is quite
true that married students have a
lot fewer coins than the single
student, on the whole.
This sounds like the Student
Association is getting the raw end
of a deal; however, in actuality,
Student Association is gaining
increased monetary benefits from
people who are not students here.
‘This is not the main purpose of
the measure though. The idea was
so that the married students and
their spouses would take a more
active part in the University and
better receive some of the benefits
which they rightfully deserve.

This brings me to the next
important point. Student
Association did not add the two
measures—the faculty payment of
the fee or the married students
tax card—just because it would
increase income. It was felt that
we had something to offer to
everyone here at the University,
and we felt that the faculty and
staff were as much a part of the
University as any one student or
student group.
We, therefore, want to
encourage as many persons as we
can to partake of the benefits
offered to them. We feel that a
better feeling of unity can be
fostered if faculty and staff join
the students in their recreation
and enjoyment. It surely cannot
be wrong to encourage unity and
good feeling with fellow members
of our University Community.
I think that the mandatory fee
will cause some difficulties and
will arouse some feelings in the
student body. Any measure of
this nature could not and does not
please all the persons involved.
‘And then again, maybe it is
time that the student body begin
to be aroused about something
instead of calmly going around in
its own world. It’s about time that
the student body begin to think
for itself and to make its voice
heard. Everyone was given the
opportunity to vote in the
mandatory fee referendum.
Even though the voting turnout
was higher than ever before, it was
still only about 14%. There is
hope, then. At least 14% of the
students have something to say
for themselves. That means that
only 86% of the students are
apathetic and lazy. There is still
hope.

Surreptitious Security
The image of the security police on this campus
is one of an offensively authoritarian force. We do
not mean to say that the security officers are
attempting to turn the University into a police
state, nor do we expect this generalization to
apply to each member of thc
However, the uncouth manner in which many of
the individuals on the security
created this image.
There have been numerous incidents when a
security guard has unnecessarily ordered students
around. It seems that some of these men have a
totalitarian mind that can conceive of nothing
wrong with ordering a student not to sit on a
table, embarassing him in
acquaintances, or doing some other ridiculous
thing.
Open Letter
To the Editor:
An open letter to State Senator
Erway and the N.Y.S. Legislature:
Upon the occasion of my high
school graduation, I received a
form letter of congratualtions
from a candidate for the N.Y.S.
assembly, Dr. M. L. Fox of
Auburn, N.Y. In that letter he
claimed that by now I should have
attained a “mature understanding
of the concepts of ‘freedom;
tolerance, and individual liberty’,”
which is my “heritage as an
American.”
I understand, sir, that an
attempt was recently made by the
State Legislature to nullify these
very freedoms. The bill I am
concerned with is the
anti-disension bill for Regents
Scholarship holders. I trust you
did all in your power to defeat
this bill, but it remains a very
disturbing thought that such a bill
was even considered.
Also in that letter, Dr. Fox
claimed that my “fellow men”
were eager to accept my
contribution to the causes of
“peace, happiness, and general
good in this world of ours.”
Again, sir, it seems that many of
the men comprising the N.Y.S.
legislature do not consider me one
of their fellow men and
apparently are in no way eager to
accept my contributions to these
causes.
This; to me, is plainly evidence
by the N.Y.S. voting age of
twenty-one. I have attained the
age of eighteen, and I am now
expected to turn over to the
government of this country that
most inalienable right of any man:

Presidential elections have
always been a significant episode
in the nation’s story. They have,
because the outcome of such
elections is.a strange animal called
a President, a thing which stalks
the nation and earth, and shapes
significantly the fortunes of men.
‘Every past American President
has, to some extent and for better
or worse, altered the social fabric,
the political system, and the
historical events of his country.
So it is today that the
public—most of it anyway—goes
to the polls and puts into office
another Mover of Events.
It is interesting to speculate
about what each of those
unnamed millions think he is
going to get. What do those fer
Fifth Avenue faces mean to the
electorate? Is Nixon really a
Savior? Humphrey the Only
Alternative? Wallace a Common
Mane answer to each of these
questions is probably a resounding
“No.” But one of them is going to
be elected anyway.
What makes for a bad night’s
sleep tonight, is that the President
of tomorrow has to be so many
things. He has to be a
philosopher-king; he has to be
able to deal with an infinite
variety of people, groups, and
nations; and he has to master
every imaginable type of subject
matter,
Can a Nixon, a Humphrey, ora
Wallace fill the impressive bill of
this magical animal? Is it not
rather like asking a cow to lay
eggs, or a hen to give milk? Is
there really any person alive who
can become this thing called a
President?
‘Such questions, however, are at
best superfulous. For whether or
not such a wonderous
transformation from man to
President can occur, tomorrow
everyone will believe that it did,
IN FACT, occur. That is, the
Mover of Events becomes a
Red banners unfurled as
thousands of students surged
forward in unison, chanting,
singing, and dancing. Protest signs
exploded with words of
dissatisfaction with the
established order. The scene:
Paris, 1968? Columbia, 1968?
Rome, 1968? No! The scene is the
Plaza de Tres Culturas in Mexico
City.
It seems the official press of the
United States government has
paid little—very little—attention
to this great moment: for the
Third World.
These were not revolutionary
Europeans or Americans blatantly
expressing defiance to the
establishment in power. No! This
took place in what we Americans
would view as an underdeveloped
nation. Therefore, if 150
Mexicans were horribly and
brutally massacred by the
granaderos or military police, it
was not worthwhile to gain much
coverage in our news media.
For a long time, it was taken
for granted that the King
Keng—Uncle Sam—could suck the
blood of the economies of Latin
nations. Well, the time is drawing
to a close. Americans have long
been blind to the coming
revolution in Latin America. Only
with the arrival of the Cuban
Revolution, did America even
become aware that these people
might not be very content under
the yoke of our government’s
economic and military
imperialsim.
Now Cuba has gained its
independence and we accept it, or
better said, try to overlook it. No,
reality, because everyone wishes it
to be so.
‘Then the Mover begins to move
his people, which he does
correctly, incorrectly, or (more
likely) obliquely. But historically,
politically, and socially, the
President SHALL move America.
He will move it, and most of those
voting today will not know, or
care, how he does it.
So is it really worth losing sleep
tonight? Most American voters
will not think so. Tonight, they
will rest their heads on their
pillows—and close their eyes.
Tomorrow they will wake, wink
at the victor—and close their eyes
again. ... Therein lies the rub...
On The Other Hand
by Tom Cervone and Doug Goldschmidt
A Doyleic Tragedy in Three
Parts:
Chorus: Hear ye the tale of
virtuous Paul, an R.A. whose
goodness led to his fall. Listen full
well to this tale of Paul Doyle,
whose love of duty dashed him to
the soil.
Part the first—The Elevator:
And one morning after days of
sleepless nights and sacrifice of all
earthly pleasures spent in fear of
receiving a mark not becoming
such a Gracious Greek as he, Paul
sallied forth to the elevator and
pressed the button, and he saw
that it was good, and he saw that
it did not come, and that was
normal.
The Way It Is ” Bine
“After a week of attempted’
political humor, I am compelled
to review once again political
reality. This is a task for which I
confess I am not qualified.
However, this technicality will not
thwart me, because I’ve examined
the qualifications of certain other
people for an endeavor much
more tedious than mine.
Since Election Day 1968 is
today, I’ve chosen to analyze our
candidates (better make that
“their positions.” Our candidates
are way beyond the point of
possible analysis).
Let’s briefly eliminate George
Corley Wallace, who is running
primarily on a Law and Order
Platform. It would be absured to
vote for Wallace, even if you
believe in “rugged individualism”
or “survival of the whitest”.
Assuming for a moment that
Wallace is elected, he will have
virtually no support in Congress.
He will be able to suggest all the
bills he wants, but let’s face it, as
far as bills are concerned, the
president’s powers are almost
exclusively negative ones.
If we elect George Wallace we
will be even further displaced
No, America! Don’t shut your
eyes. These people no longer want
Coca-Cola imperialism, or United
Fruit Company imperialism.
These people, and they are
people, want independence to rule
their own destinies.
We cannot pretend Mexico City
1968 did not occur; just as we
cannot pretend Paris 1968 did not
occur. It did occur, and we as
fellow international students have
the obligation of fighting in our
own country against this same
capitalistic and imperialistic
system that suppresses. our
Mexican brothers. Our brothers to
the South gave their blood for the
freedom that we Americans
cherish. Can we do less than give
them our support?
The spirit of Che Guevera lives
in them as it does in us. It is not
just romanticism. It is the spirit in
all of us to be free and proud—to
have dignity and honor. But this
dream can only be accomplished
by a mass student movement in
America in conjunction with our
Latin comrades to the South.
What has happened to our
Vietnamese brothers we must not
let occur in Latin America. We
needn’t be paranoic of the specter
of Soviet Communism; these
people are simply proclaiming to
us, to all the world—WE ARE
PEOPLE!
And we as people cannot
passively stand by and watch the
US colonial order and its puppet
governments create two or three
Vietnams in Latin America. We
must fight as we have long fought
against the imperialist war in
Vietnam.
from the goal of unifying
American theory with American
practice.
Next, we come to Hubert
Humphrey, who is running
primarily on a Law and Order
Platform.
Humphrey has been saddled by
the Johnson image in a multitude
of ways.
First let me say that Humphrey
is more liberal, dovish if Vietnam
is your bag, than the Johnson
Administration’s record indicates.
What can Mr. Humphrey do in the
White House? The painful answer
is about as much as Wallace.
Hubert Humphrey is a good
man, usually very honest for a
politician, With a favorable
congress, he could be a good,
perhaps a great president. With
the congress he will have, he will
be a pathetic sight as president.
Although I’m trying to be
objective in this column, MUI insert
a value judgment by stating that I
don’t consider Mr. Humphrey to
be of presidential timber. He is an
energetic, exhuberant man who
gets a boyish thrill when things go
his way, and a dismal sulk when
they don’t.
Finally, we come to Richard M.
Nixon, who is running primarily
on a Law and Order Platform.
Without any favoritism, I call
Richard Nixon the next Presiderit
of the United States, and with
favoritism, i add, gladly so.
Richard Nixon will be a
forceful president with a favorable
coalition congress. He has
alienated few Republicans, and
has a goodly number of
Democrats on his team.
His alledged conservatism is
actually “preservatism,” wanting
only to deepen the democratic
traditions of the United States. It
is possible that Richard Nixon will
be the best president our country
will know, but I don’t think he
will be (there go. those value
judgments again).
The conservatives of the United
States have no choice. They must
either sell out to bigotry, which is
definitely not an American theory
(and we do want to be American,
don’t we, boys?), or vote for
Richard Nixon.
The liberals of the United
States also have no choice. They
can vote for Richard Nixon and
take the chance of him keeping
his promises and securing private
enterprise for the ghettoes, or
they can waste their votes on a
man who is politically doomed.
‘After giving serious thought to
jumping on the Paulsen
bandwagon, I have decided to
support Richard Nixon for
President of the United States.
ALLEN GINSBERG

Campus Center Ballroom
And half an hour later the
elevator came, and it was good,
and he had missed half his test,
and that was not good—in fact
that was lousy. And Paul bore his
fate manfully like the Gracious
Greek that he was, and he entered
the elevator, and it was full of
people, and the mighty elevator
slammed shut its massive doors,
and the elevator went, and the
elevator stopped, between the
thirteenth and fourteenth floors.
And the Otis man came and
removed the nails from out the
mighty motor, and opened the
doors, and saw Paul, and Paul
palled with persperation, and
lashed out in a fitful vengeance,
and consumed the Otis man. And
he then consumed TXO, and this
was good, and he received an
award for fire prevention.
Part the second: The Fire-drill:
And Paul, contemplating hf
actions of the morning showered
in his bath, and the fire-bell rang,
and this was bad. Leaping from
beneath the cascading waters, he
landed on his faithful sidekick
Straight as a Ruler Casale, who
was magically transformed into
Thin as a Tunic Tony. Searching
in vain for his apparel (for in this
land all rooms are dark) Paul
dashed to the aid of his charges,
who were fast asleep because they
hadn’t heard the bell. And he
burst the door of 1104 to awaken
the residents therein, but found to
his chagrin, a girl therein. And he
cursed all the dwellers in this
illighted land, for they had been
bad, and that was not good.
Scooping up the maiden (and this
was good), lacking control, and
cursing the dwellers for a not
heeding the rules, he swooped
own the stairs into the darkness,
for there were no elevators, for it
was so ordained by the Housing
Office, and this was stupid.
Part the third: The Suicide: But
even the greatest of the Gracious
Greeks could not long endure the
cold incurred during flameless
fires, nor the narrow beds, nor the
sterile white rooms, and upon
contemplation Paul saw that all
this was bad, and rushed to the
waiting elevator (for the Gods
were merciful), and ascended to
the Penthouse.
But Paul’s frame was massive,
and the windows were small, so he
burst through the wall, but those
seeing him fall said, “Fear not, for
the insects dwelling below the
fourth floor will cushion his fall”
(for it had been ordained by the
Stygian Stone that insects cannot
fly higher than four floors). And
on floor two a screen had falled
off, and the insects had flown in
to take the elevator to the upper
floors, and this was bad, for Paul
splattered on the earth and the
fatal radius of his flying parts
slew all from here to Berkely.
Chorus: Now have you heard
the tale of that Gracious Greek, of
one who after truth did seek, and
it was good.

mechanics of the present policy
does not reach the core of the
situation. To lessen the number of
cases in which chaperones can be
said to be necessary raises an
important problem. We might

“Such a modification, which
would probably be acceptable,
implies that the University is

the University will withhold that
responsibility and require a

With Musical [Illustrations
McKinley
by Fran Dreher
William Thomas McKinley, a
doctoral candidate at Yale who is
teaching musical composition this
semester, was to give a lecture
with musical illustrations about
early jazz on Friday, Nobember 1.
McKinley opened by saying that
jazz should be listened to instead
of spoken 2 out, and procededed
to give a tw hour jazz concert.
McKir ey played the
pianoforte; Rodger Ryan played
the percussion instrument; Roger
Cooke played the bass, and John
Lissauer played a tenor saxophone
and a flute.
It was without question an
excellent concert, even for those
who knew nothing about jazz.
They began with “Chim Chim
Chiree,” and went on to pieces
composed by McKinley and one
by Roger Ryan, the drummer.
Towards the end McKinley said
“We'll just play.” What followed
was total improvisation; it was
successful. Their music ranged
from loud, fast, dissonant jazz to
slow, soft music with complete
emphasis on the tempo.
The audience applauded
frequently following exceptional
persformances by individual
musicians. An informal, zelaxed
atmosphere prevailed; the
vibrations could be felt in the room
and people were nodding, tapping,
and moving in time to the music.
‘A question and answer period
followed the concert, in which
McKinley explained that there are
certain guidelines within which
the jazz player is always building;
there is a pattern of growth. The
jazz player of today is no longer
just a jazz player; he is part of an

Organized last April, the
Players view themselves as a “little

to produce original student
dramatic writings and to involve
students.
The Players presently are

culture.
In a discussion of why jazz isn’t
popular today, and why people
don’t listen to it at breakfast
instead of rock n’ roll, McKinley
said, ‘No, this music doesn’t
belong over eggs and bacon.” In
order to appreciate jazz, one has
to concentrate on it.

All humanity is the hero,

fact every great hero of humanity.
He’ invents the wheel and the
alphabet, lives through the Fall,
the Flood and various wars, the
Iee Age and countless other
catastrophes, and yet his life
struggles on. His wife Eva bears
him two boys and a gir., but Cain
or Henry, the elder murders his
brother. A maid, Sabina, serves as
a sort of Liloth or personification
of female sensuality. The Antrobus
family is living both in prehistoric
times and in a New Jersey
commuters: suburb today. The
events of homely daily life are
depicted against the vast
dimension of time and space and
impending disaster.
In Atlantic City at the
convention of the Ancient and
Honorable Order of Mammals,
Subdivision Humans, George
Antrobus is to address thegathering

different emphasis than was the

which has managed to survive
various crises even if only by the
skin of his teeth.

Albany Soccermen Close
With Win At Stony Brook
The University’s Great Danes finished out the ’68 season this past Saturday on a winning note, defeating
SUNY at Stony Brook by a score of 2-1. Playing on a strange turf after a long ride, the soccer team
performed very well, according to coach Bill Schifflein.
Jim Shear, a junior, put in the first Albany goal at 4:05 in the first quarter. Ron Spratt followed in the
, middle of the second quarter.
The Great Danes then held
Stony Brook, almost shutting
them out, until a screen drew
__ Albany goalie Terry Jordan from
the net and an opposition goal
was scored late in the last quarter.
Goiach Schifflein cited center
fullback Craig Springer for his
“best defensive game ever” and
also praised Joel Volinski, Alan
Rosenberg, and Ed Campbell for
their performances.
‘The Albany defense turned one
of its best showings all season,
allowing only four goal attempts.
The team finished with a 3-6-1
record, but coach Schifflein
expects a better season next year
because his ‘ green” sophomores
and juniors will have had the
experience of competing against
rough teams the calibre of RPI
and New Paltz.
dim Shear led the Albany squad
in season scoring with eight goals.
Ron Spratt scored six times and
John Compeau had three.

by Dave Fink Give
What amounted to be the
climatic game of the League I
season was played this Saturday.
APA, with an unblemished record
of 4-0, needed a win over STB,
with a3-1-1 record, to capture the
title.
In the opening minutes, 1
seemed that both offenses would
dominate play. APA received the
kickoff and began to move
immediately on completions from
Gary Torino to flanker Lance
Brofsky and then to tight end
Denny Elkin.
But this drive was stifled on an
alert interception by Larry Meyers
of STB. Meyers, now at
quarterback, wasted no time.
While getting good pass
protection, he was unable to find
a receiver and thus ran with the
ball for two first downs. A
completion to Mike Pavy gave
STB the ball at the APA 25 yard
line,
Now, STB was stopped on an
interception by Jack Sinnott.
APA evidently was not to be
denied again as they drove
downfield on some fine running
by Torino and two fine catches by
Brofsky. Torino scored on an end
sweep giving APA a 7-0 lead.
If anyone calmed down after
this touchdown, they were soon

it back 60 yards for a touchdown
putting STB in the lead 12-7, APA
received the kickoff and moved
down to the STB one yard line
before they were held on a
fantastic goal line stand.
STB took over but a Meyers’
pass was intercepted on the 50
yard line. APA scored after a fine
run by Torino, on a pass to Elkin
to make the score 13-12 at the
half.
The score remained the same
until late in the fourth quarter
when Meyers intercepted a-Torino
pass and ran it back to the APA
30 yard line. He promptly hit Jay
Handalman for what seemed to be
the winning touchdown, but a
change in ruling placed the ball on
the two yard line. STB could not
score as time ran out.
In other games Saturday, KB
and Waterbury played to a
scoreless tie and Potter defeated
the Nads 6-0.

Nix On Sports
This past week, I received information to the effect that the Faculty
Senate has decided to recommend that the University not institute a
football program.
One of the members of the Senate objected to the implementation of
a football team on the grounds that the money which would be
expended for such an endeavor might be put to better use in other
areas. The contender was that it is more important to spend money
either for more professors or for higher salaries for those already
employed.
A second rationale offered by the Senate was that they did not want
to see Albany become a “football school.” Many of the faculty
members felt that the inception of football would reduce Albany to a
school known only for its football prowess. The idea is that Albany will
have its hard fought for academic rating overshadowed by the football
team.
J find both of these rationales rather difficult to digest. Neither
argument, upon inspection holds water.
For years, the Athletic Advisory Board has been building up a fund
for the express purpose of financing a football team. This money has
come from the students themselves through an athletic tax, part of the
student tax which all students must now pay. Consequently, the
formation of a football team will not take away from the professors.
The addition of more professors of the increasing of salaries for
professors will not be hindered by the formation of a football team.
The second argument offered by the Senate seems completely
absurd. The idea that Albany will become an athletic school devoid of
academic excellence is nonsensical for several reason. Number one,
without scholarships, a football team would never be able to reach a
reputation large enough to overshadow the academic achievements of
the school. Number two, there is certainly evidence that a school can
sport a football team and still maintain a high academic reputa tion
(any Ivy League school, for instance)
The formation of a football team would undoubtedly serve to
increase school spirit, an emotion which is somewhat nonexistent at
Albany. A football team would undoubtedly draw a larger crowd than
our soccer team presently attracts. Last year, a poll tevealed that the
students were overwhelmingly in favor of the inception of a football
‘The arguments against a football team seem somewhat weak, the
students are overwhelmingly in favor of it, it could not hurt the school,
so I say, Why not a football team? President Collins has the last say of
whether or not a provision in the plans for next year for the
organization of a team, so I appeal to him and say, Why not do the
student body a favor and allow them what thev want, a football team?
