Collins Discusses Presidential Role
With Student Panel at Golden Eye
“Essential to the success of a community of scholars is a foundation of mutual
trust.”’ With this remark, Dr, Evan R, Collins, President of SUNYA, brought together
many of the points he had made in talking with a student panel at the Golden Eye
Friday night. The panel included Toni Mester, Guy McBride, Tim Atwell, and Eliza-
beth Webre. Alice Katz moderated the discussion,

A RayView of Sports :
The AMIA intramural basketball leagues have been
operating for almost two months now, and we feel that
certain faults have arisen in the functioning of these
leagues that must be corrected if next year’s season is
to be successfully run.
Before we examine these faults, we must admit that
some of the league’s malfunctions are directly attribu-
table to the delay caused by the construction of a new
floor in the Page Gym. There are, however, a number
of abuses that have been suffered by the teams in the
leagues that are a result of lack of foresight and poor
scheduling on the part of AMIA officials.
‘Occasionally games would have to be rescheduled
due to last minute developments, In one such instance,
one of the teams was never notified of the change and,
as a result, had to forfeit the contest. Many times
during the season a team would be charged witha
technical foul because a substitute had run onto the
court before the man he was replacing had left the floor,
This was due to the lack of a substitution rule, or the
failure of the AMIA to
inform the teams of one.
Too often a spectator was called on to be the score-
keeper, timekeeper, or referee, when such positions
should have been held by trained, paid league officials.
We feel, also, that it would not be too great an expense
to the AMIA to furnish a scoreboard (makeshift at that)
so that players would not have to call to the scorer's
table to find out the score of the game,
Players have the right to know what place their team
is in and who the leading scorers are in each league.
AMIA should furnish these statistics by putting them
up on the bulletin board of give it to the ASP for pub-
lication, Also, the public should be notified when an
important game is to he played in one of the four
leagues.
‘This year’s AMIA basketball season is over, none
too soon, We can only hope that next year’s season
enjoys better planning and organization that this year’s
did,

last week to pilot the frosh baseball team, Mr, Munsey,

Manager Woodward :
Valuable Handyman
by Don Oppedisano
John ‘*Woody’ Woodward,
is a man devoted to his job. At every
cer manager,
varsity basketball andsoc-
game, ‘Woody’ is on the sidelines, keeping a running
score of the game; in addition, he arranges meals,
sends in cumulative statistics every week to the Na-
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau, and handles money
to arrange accommodations for overnight trips.
John comes from Heu-
velton, N. Y., where, at
Heuvelton Central School,
he lettered in football two
years, being named to the
all-league football team in
his senior year, and let-
tered in baseball one year.

the frosh grapplers into the meet
and hopes that the team “makes a
good showing’? in light of the tough
competition at the meet, Mr, Garcia
‘feels that one of the problems the
boys have faced in past tournament
competition is the lack of intra~
team competition,
Some past State wrestling greats
who have been successful In the
tourney are Charley Cane, Clem
Crow, Tommy Farrel, and John
Waytowich, who was defeated by
the man who later went on to be a
national champion,
Both coaches Garcia and Bur-
Hingame feel that the calibre of our
wrestlers has greatly improved and
hope for a state champion in the
ngar future.
“Woody,” a juntor with a math
major and a chemistry minor, came
to State because It offered the pro-
gram he wanted at the time. He
started to be interested in manag-
ing his freshman year when he be
came manager of the freshman bas-
ketball team. He said, “They needed
sometone to be manager andI wanted
something to do.” He was varsity
basketball and soccer manager in
his sophomore and junior years,
and will be manager of both sports
next year when he is a senior.
Here at State, John has also been
a member of the football, bowling,
and softball intramural teams, and
was a member of the freshman base-
ball team, He hopes to teach math
after he graduates, and go on for his,
Masters, hopefully at St. Lawrence.
“Woody's!” biggest thrill since
becoming a manager was the Peds’
double overtime 83-81 win over
Plattsburgh in February, He sald
that, (“It was kind of satisfying.”
When asked about how managing
will help him in the future, John
was quoted as saying that, ‘You
get a good background in sports,
If you ever want to go intooffictating
in sports, you will know a lot about
it, You learn a lot about the admin-
Istrative end, which 1s one thing
that the varsity athlete doesn’t learn,
You do a lot of travelling and get
to see a lot of the state,”

Blaze in Dorm Tower
Retards Construction
A fire, preceded by booming explosions, raged through
the seventh and eighth floors of the partially completed
dormitory tower of the second quadrangle at the univer-
sity’s new campus site, last Thursday morning,
The flames roared out
of control for five hours
while Albany firemen and
volunteer companies from
neighboring communities
had to string hoselines for
more than a half-mile from
a Washington Avenye hy-
drant in order to extinguish
the blaze.
A spokesman for the contracting
company, Foster-Newinan Co., Inc.,
stated that an initial estimation of
damage placed the loss at about
$50,000,
‘The dormitory tower, which even~
tually will rise to twenty-two stor
les, was unoccupled; It 1s scheduled
for occupancy by February, 1966,
It Is believed that apropane-ieater,
used to protect newly poured con-
crete from freezing winds, touched
off the blaze,

With the temperatures hovering
Just above 20 degrees, and freezing

Albany Students
Join in Protesting

Albany witnessed a march of over
1000 people Suiday aftefnoun pro~
esting the murder of Reverend
James Reed in Selma, Alabama,
The demonstration was’ nationwide
and was spousored by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People,
The march began at 2 pin, at
the ‘Temple Baptist Church on Cline
ton Street, ‘The demonstrators then
solemuly marched four abreast to
te Capitol steps. No singing or
talking was allowed in the proces-
sion,
When they reached the steps of

made it clear that “the law
imposes no restrictions on
the President's authority
except thathis rulings can’t
be capricious or arbi-
trary.”
He also pointed out that in the
final analysis, he is the ‘single
channel from ‘the trustees to the
rest of the university” and that
final responsibility for all aspects
of University administration rests
upon him,
In this context he added that
while “we retain in administration
a lot of the small college flavor?
he must delegate more and more
of his authority to vice presidents,
He made the distinction that a
vice president acts for the Presi-
dent, a dean acts to the Presi lent,
Outside Activities
The panel questioned him on his
outside activities, which include
serving on the board of a bank, and
serving as president of the American
Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education,
He defended this use of much of
his tine by declaring that “one of

ident) is to interpret the University
to the community.” He spoke of
several tangible results of this role,
one of which is a community=spo

At last Sunday night's Provisional

bers.
It was this committee's task to
define the duties and powers of

executive branch of the proposed

Albany State has been asked to
send a toam of workers to partict-
in the Summer Community Or=
ganization and Political Education
Project (SCOPE), SCOPE has re-
cently been organized under the
ausplees of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference.
SCOPE’s Intention 1s to recrult
more than 500 persons from the
academic communities of America
to work for 10 weeks during the
summer in 61 rural and urban
southern counties,
‘The program consists of voter
registration in connection with the
work of local organizations and
political education under a system
of night classes for those of voting
‘An open meeting of those inter=
ested in golng this summer or help-
ing in the recruitment and organ-
ization of a team will be held Mon-
y, April 5, at 9 pm, in Bru,
Sue Boyd, one of the students at
the original meeting commented:
“Governor Wallace and Selma,
Alabama are Just one expression of
the Negro situation in the Southern
United States, With that man and
that town In mind, Just think of
what the Negro has’ lived with that
we have not heard about,
“it's time for us to commit our=
selves to the struggle between the
forces of justice and noneJustice
in the South, Is time to gat per-
sonally involved, mentally and phys~
Jeally, in a less spectacular way,
to give encouragement, energy, and
love to our Negro brothers in the
Bouth,"”
Last year a similar project was
undertaken to send four State stu-
dents to North Carolina during Eas~
tor Recess for a voter registration
drive,
They met with students
from Siena, RPI, Union,
Skidmore, Russell Sage,
and St, Rose.At the meet-
ing they discussed the con-
atitutional proposals that
were drawn up by Siena.
The ‘‘Siena News’’ that
the Council would act ag forum
for the exchange of ideas, with
which to improve various aspects
of student government and student
life
‘he Council would have no power,
but would only offer suggestions to
the member school,
Benefits Derived
Many benefits would be derived
from the Council by the various
schools involved, The Council would
coordinate publicity for concerts
and lectures taking place in the in-
dividual schools, Each college would
have @ central ticket office which
would sell tickets for these events,
Skidmore College offered the sug-
gestion that schools co-sponsor
events. By this Joint sponsorship,
activities could be held that would
be too expensive for an individual
school to undertake before
‘The main problem that faces the
Council is the summer vacations
during which its support might die
out, Future plans for the contedera-
tion include expansion of its mem-
bership to include junior colleges
and professional schools,
‘The iden for the formation of the
Council originated three years ago
by the Liberty Party on the Stena
Campus, It was met with little en-
thusiasm until recently when Tom
McCarthy, vice president of Siena
Senate, began contacting leaders
from the various school’s student
government,
‘The first meeting of all the schools
except Albany was held Saturday,
March 7 at Union College, They set
the groundwork for the Council and
drew up proposals to be discussed
