Surplus Frozen Pending Investigation
by Betty Stein
Central Council, acting in
Tesponse to numerous questions sur-
rounding the legal status of the
Athletics Advisory Board (AAB),
froze the Board's surplus budget at
last week's Wednesday night
meeting pending further investiga-
tion of the issue by an ad hoc com-
mittee
AAB is a special appendage of
Central Council charged with
overseeing the conduct and
budgeting of intercollegiate athletics
here at SUNYA. Its budget of nearly
$150,000 represents about 25 cents
of every student tax dollar. Its
membership reflects institutional
control: sixstudentsand seven facul-
ty members or administrators,

It is this non-student control of a
student-funded progrem that has
drawn fire from several prominent
members of student government
Coyne, who presented the budget-
freezing motion in lieu of an earlier
proposal which would have effec-
tively abolish AAB. says the present
situation is inconsistent with SUNY
Board of Trustees guidelines. Accor-
ding to Coyne, these guidelines state
that there will be “student control of
student money.” Coyne also points
out that the NCAA, of which
SUNYA is a member, requires in-
stitutional contro! of all athletic
boards. This apparent conflict isone

Rathskeller Wail to be Built Despite Delays
by Cynthia Hucintt
Almost a year after it’s ineipiency,
the idea of building a full-length li-
quor bar with a wall dividing the
Campus Center Rathskeller has
become a reality. Delivery of the bar,
which is being assembled in New
York City, is scheduled for next
week and construction of the
tion will begin as soon as the
installed. According to FSA dire
tor, E. Norbert Zahm, the entire pro-
ject should be completed in about a
month and the “pub” ready to open
for student use at that time.
The partition is to be built along
the width of the Rathskeller,and will
mark off about one-third of the total
room. The actual wall is to be two
thirds of the height of the room and
will share the brick pattern of the
Rathskeller columns, While fune-
tioning to separate the pub from the
rest of the Rathskeller, the wall will
be constructed so as to allow for a
free flow of drifters from the
Rathskeller Main to the pub section,
The pab is intended to be a place
where students can go to unwind and
w be entertained, A plice which
olfery a lounge-bhe environment
consisting of oak paneling, butcher
block surfaces. leather barstoolsand
house. Mined diinks, heer atnd wine
will be served at reasonable prices
ve the Rathskeller Bar wall have a
great deal of competi from off
puis batts
Still to be deed are the
pub’s oper ats. AS
of now, there ts hope that the pub
will open earlier than the present
Rathskeller hours. Hower er a sole
tion to extending hours alter the
curremt closing time, 12:30 a.m
(when the enuse Campus Center is
locked up), hits proved more difficult
and as of yet has not been solved.
Also in embry onic stages are ideas
as to what sort of entertainment
would be desirable and appropriate
for the pub So far suggestions have
ranged from cock groups and folk
guitarists, to jazz combos and com-
edians, While much of the entertain-
ment will probably be provided by
professionals, student entertainers
who wish to gain exposure, will be
welcome to perform
Feelings about the outcome of the
pub, from those closely involved
with the project, are generally
favorable, Andy Bauman, Student
Association President, whase efforts
to attain the pub became a major
part of the political platform upon
which he was elected, had this to say:
“It’s going to be fantastic! I'm hop-
ing that the pub will fill what I think
1 void in campus life.”
Basically Optimistic
FSA Director E. Norbert Zahm,
while harboring a basically op-
limistic attitude about the bar's be~
ing built, has “reservations” about
the building of the partition. He feels
that sectioning part of the
Rathskeller ats a bar area, may prove
sell-deleating, especially if it is un-
able to accommodate large crowds.
Another issue which might make
Zahn hesitant about the wall is the
vet that a similar wall, which was
huilt as partof the Campus Centerin
1967, was torn down by student re-
quest about (wo years liter. Neit
Brown, Dean of Student Affairs,
satid that the main reason for student
discantent was because there was a
strong spirit of eliquishness within
the confines of the wall
Fo most individuals the subject of
the Rathskeller is novel and
sometimes even interesting.
However those who have brought
the plans from infancy to actuality
have experienced the tediousness in-
herent to any such scheme, The pro-
ject seems to have had an overabun-
dance of sethicks, duetoa great deal
of bureaucratic red tape and a
general luck of communication
amongst the involved parties.
The idea for the pub evolved and
took shape in the form of a bill,
dated October 30, 1974, presented to
Central Council by Andy Bauman,
calling for the renovation of the
thskeller into a “college bar" type
ty. Afier several mectingsit was
decided that the financing cost of
converting the entire Rathskeller
were (oo high, FSA endorsed and
agtetd to finance a permanent full-
length bar in the Rathskeller. Since
the renovation of the Rathskeller
was impossible, sectioning off an
area for the bar seemed to be the next
best idea. The problem there was to
find funding for the construction of
the wall, After much haggling with
different groups in order to obtain
the $4200 sum, the FSA Board of
Directors agreed in Maret, to
finance the building of the wall
iy at this point that the fae
became sketchy and answers to why,
when and where fail to coincide with
each other, The pub, whieh was sup-
posed to be completed over the spr-
ing recess, was evidently held up by
red tape policies, The next comple-
tion date was set for the summer of
1975 and at the end of June, the
Lewis Equipment Company was
contracted to construct and install
the bar, The Physical Plant was
originally responsible for the
building of the bar and wall
However, water damage to the
downtown campus made it
necessary for them to devote & great
deal of time to repairs, making itim-
possible for them to undertake the
entire project singlehandedly
The f.ewis Equipment Company
in turn, entlisted the Alpine Com-
pany (which belongs to SA Vice
President Rick Meckler's futher), to
help fabricate the bir, Some une
known obstacle furthered the delay
and it was actually one week aygo that
the Lewis Company received the OK
to begin construction, from the FSA
and passed the word onto the Alpine
Company.
Questions Remain
Phere are still questions which re~
main unanswered and “facts” which
remain questionable, The work on
the bar has begun through and by all
indications will proceed according to
plan. Why it took such an exor-
bitantly lengthy amount of time to
initiate the action, cannot be deter
mined from scanty and contradic-
tory facts. This statement was made
by one university official when asked
about the numerous postponements
of the project. “I don't want to bea
art of thitt controversy, don’t feel
anxious enought to get uptight
about it."

Agents gather at the scene of the all-night vigil.
by Larry Lopez
‘The sirens were wailing, getting
corner to the accompaniment of the
sereeches and groans of cars thud-
ding into one another,
State Street was aswarm with
police cars, Itwas three o'clock in the
afternoon and Albany, New York
was just beginning an eighteen hour
vigil that placed the downtown dis-
trict in the national spotlight.
Anambulance pulled out of a side
street with anofficer init. Patrolman
Jack Fischer had been shot trying to
stop a robber flecinga bank hold-up.
The alleged robber turned back
down Main Street and fled into a
coffee shop, The police responded to
the call of a policeman downed with
every unit possible. Undercover
agents rushed into the area pul
‘out badges to pin on their civilian
clothes and drawing the guns they
usually concealed,
Confusion prevailed. Police cars
narrowly avoided each other and
cordoned off the wrong streets. But,
still within minutes, they narrowed
their search down and when a
waitress at the Standard Sandwich
Shop pulled down the venetian
blinds the siege began in earnest.
Albany City Police, Sheriff's
Department officers, F.B.1. agents
and Capital Police, many with
drawn, revolvers, surrounded the
building us reinforcements, and
heavier weaponry began arriving on
the scene,
‘As they arrived, complete with M-
16 carbines, and tear gas guns, the
crowds were drawn to watch, The
crowds would remain throughout
the eighteen hours from the time the
robbery occurred until nine Thurs-
day morning when the suspect was
sped away by car.
But the bi-racial crowd, mostly’
young and mostly male, washere for
a show and the comparisons with the
neat, half hour television dramas
were inevitable, “Where's Kojak?”
“Man, Albany ain’t got no SWAT
team, they got a MESS team.” “If
this was TV, they'd have him
already." In there was also an un
dercurrent that somehow it wasn't
real, that this wasn't happening *in
Albany, of all places.”
The cops paid no heed. They.
crouched behind cars and jockeyed
for position, The size of the crowd
drew a small food truck, The kids
swarmed to the truck and walked off
with everything they could grab in
the space of fifteen seconds. ‘The
anguished food man closed the truck
and, with a look at the cops who
were facing the drawn blinds, their
‘backs to his plight, climbed into the
river's seat and drove off.
The kids’ antics were attracting
attention and the cops moved in
several times to chase them off,
weeding them out from newspeople
who were allowed to remain, It was
like sweeping back the tide, The
crowd ebbed but retumed. Capitol
Police, who bad no jurisdiction but
hung around anyway as sightseers,
helped out with sporadic crowd con-
trol. And, when they became bored
With the stake-out and got back into
their cars, one officer leaned over to
‘one of his young blond tormentors
and said in a low voice, “Stop
around the Capitol some time and
Mil kick your ass.”
Finally, at 8:10, a marksman
who's sat crouched all night behind
cars stands up and waves all clear.
The suspect has surrendered, It will
be another hour before the police
whisk him away in a car, pushing
photographers out of the way, and
hours before Main Street will be
cleared of litter again

Kent Guard Criticized
by David Lerner
Undergrad Mary Ann Walsh stood on the hill facing the Ohio National
Guard as they fired intoa crowd of Kent State students on May 4, 1970. Post-
grad Walsh was in Albany on August 28, 1975 when a federal jury acquitted
the Guard, former Governor James Rhodes and Kent State president Robert
While of responsibility in the resulting deaths of four students and injury to
nine others,
emory of the shootings isstill fresh to her, and still painful, “I saw the
i e. I didn't believe it. | didn’t believe they really fired. They were
supposed to be blanks, It wasall supposed to be a game. Nobody was going to
get hurt.”
Walsh learned just how serious the game was when told that one close
friend had been shot in the hip. As one of the plaintiffs in the case against the
state, all that her friend got out of the incident was a limp walk.
“I started to cry,” Walsh remembered, “I was terrified, angry. Particularly
when I found that (my friend) was hit, Numb, I felt numb, Confused.”
While Walsh looked on at the shootings from her vantage point, Cathi
Bardo in 1970 was exactly where she was to be five years later, in the SUNY
Albany Campus Center. “I was really appalled by it (the shootings); really
upset.” She was a sophmore at Albany at the time, and is nowa grad student
Bardo didn't understand why the Guard fired in the first place,
I don't think their lives were endangered,” she said. “They shouldn't even
have been armed.” She expected that a Guardsman was sufficiently trained
not to fire without an absolute cause.
~The emotional temperament was incredibly high,” Walsh said, almost as
if she had heard it all before. “It was incredible, I'm sure they [the Guard}
were frightened,
Like Walsh, Philip Tompkins, also at Kent State five yearsago, had little
difficulty explaining the shooting, “There was good reason for sending them
up there in the first place,"Tompkins admitted. “The students had been
Violently hostile to local police and firemen, and campus security did not
come out to protect the firemen as they had promised the city they would.”
The presence of the Guard itself infuriated the students and added to the
riotous mood, Tompkins said, The mood in Ohio he described as “very
hostile to the students.”
‘One of the state's prosecutors, he said, had privately wished that the Guard
had “killed them all.” Tompkins, now Albany Rhetoric and
Communications department chairman, personally “questioned very
clearly” the use of loaded rifles on the campus. It violated, hesaid, Defense
Department regulations concerning control of civil disorders.
As for the training the Guard was supposed to have received, he said, “I'm
fearful of the National Guard. | would much rather trust state troopers, even
local police, in short...professionals. When the Guard comes, I'm going into
hiding.”
Of a dozen students and faculty interviewed here, not one expressed
surprise that the parents of the dead and injured students lost their case
against the state. Tompkins laid the cause to the intense dislike of the
townspeople towards the students, pointing to a state grand jury report
which clearly held the students responsible for the deaths, while completely
exonerating the Guard.
Walsh expected the decision and feels only mistrust, Bardo thought that
the jurors were incapable of objectivity given the status of the defendants.
=No individual can stand against the Establishment,” she said. The Supreme
Court, she feels, can be more objective, should appeals reach that level.
Aaron Horowitz was not surprised, but not disappointed.” He just knew
that was what would happen. Ellen Ozarow expected it
Not one of the dozen was surprised . But only two of them knew what
ccision it was they were expecting. They all said they knew that there wast
case going on in Ohio, but only two oF three could accurately describe it
Most thought it 1o bea murder trial, with opinion divided over whether it was
the students or Guard on tril.
For Walsh and Tompkins, it was the end of a five year ordeal. For the
‘others, it was just one more story about “The Movement,” one which pre~
dated their college careers, and one with which they say they have little
attachment
Professor Tompkins could explain all the events satisfactorily except one,
which he repeated often, “Why did it take them five years? I'm not one who
needs « scapegoat, but nonetheless, there was a bit of twinge... a twinge of
disappointment not so much from the verdict, but because it’s been five years
and three months, Was justice done in waiting so long

The dramatic upswing in the use
of alcohol here and at schoolsueross,
the country made the Patron Room
decision inevitable, In making their
decision, the Committee wanted to
create an environment which would
provide an alternative to the noisy,
crowded situation in the
rathskellar/snack bar, They sought
to create a quiet place where students
could relax and converse over
cocktails and refreshments. Anyone
getting unusually loud will be asked
to leave, she said, or its purpose
‘would be self-defeating, Since theat-
mosphere helps to determine
behavior, there will be no blaring
juke box of entertainment.

Work is under way for the

1975 of the new Alumni House and
Conference Center, to be situated off
Perimeter Road between the Securi-

mni House and Con-
ference Center is coming from
several sources (these being money
raised from the Alumni Association
itself and money from other con-

Center has donated a portion of the
$200,000 it was allocated by the
State Legislature, along with an
equal sum given by the Niagara
Mohawk Power Corporation for the
‘experimental solar energy section of
the structure.
The need for this building arose
from the crowded conditions which
presently exist, The most unique
item of this structure is the ex
perimental solar roof which will
enable the building to be both heated
and cooled by solar energy. For-
tunately, there have been no
problems to date, except for a few
minor delays due to the solar energy

A detail from Garo Antresian's five color lithograph “Oje".
by Richard Conant
Currently appearing in the University
Art Gallery are two exhibitions, The se~
cond floor is dominated by a one-man
retrospective exhibition featuring the
work of Gare Antresian from 1950-to the
present. The first floor is occupied by a
collection of current artistic achievements
produced by members of the Art Depart-
ment faculty. Included are works in
metal, plastic and porcelain sculpture,
photographs, lithographs, intaglio prints
and water and oil paintings.
Gare Antresian is an lithographer of
surprising ability who presently enjoys
eminent standing in the art world, His
prints are characterized by an inventive
approach to form and color. Largely self-
taught, he was introduced to the medium
while a student at the Arsenal Technical
High School in Indianapolis in 1939.
During W.W.II he enlisted in the Coast
Guard and served time asa combat artist
in the South Pacific. He returned to prin-
ting in 1946 after a short bout with com-
mercial art and has been going strong ever
since.
The show containsnumerous examples
of his diverse virtuosity. “Milkweed
Pods” is a monochromatic primitive in
ck much reminiscent of Reault. Other
prints from the 50's are seemingly ex-
(perimental attempts at reproducing
representational objects in freeform, He
departs from objects in the 60's
but continues to experiment. His work
becomes abstract in a world of topsy-
lurvy violence (characteristic of those
years) and symbolism. In “Plate VIL
From Suite Tokens” (1961), his wild but
controlled use of red and black evokes
feelings of fear and dismay which he
further exploits in “Gems” (1963). The

advent of a completely
refreshing style, His experimentation has
matured into a linear and technical
oeuvre, It is exciting , colorful and
diverse.
His later work does not draw the bitter
emotions noted earlier. Instead, through
controlled lines and an uncanny sense of
color combination, he has amassed a
collection the strength of which lies in its
ability to arouse vibrant yisual pleasui
For instance: “Untitled” (1972), a mul-
ticolor print with blends. Here is a start!-
ing red ground crossed with varying sized
rods of glowing blended colors.
This is a good example of his in-
novative posture and mastery of color
which have eamed for him not only the
praise of his peers, but surely a permanent
place in the history of modern American
Art. At present he is a member of the
faculty of the Dept. of Art of the Universi-
ty of New Mexico at Albuquerque.
The faculty show on the first floor is a
collection representative of the abilities of
our exalted mentors, ranging from theex-
ceptional to the unprofessional.
Mr. Callner, the new department head,
presents oils and watercolor com-
positions which are characterized by a
lack of depth (the eye travels no further
than the surface of the panel) and a skilled
handling of color in subdued tints and
hues. “Parade to Heaven or Hell” showsa
preoccupation with floating figures
engaged in no particular activity, reminis-
cent of William Blake, His inventions and
mutations of almost mythological origin
are peaceful, yet demure as opposed to
the true monsters of Breughel and Besch.
“Promenade” is another example of a
piece whose content detracts from the
lively treatment of subdued hues. The pai-
ting consists of four nudes traversing
id walk in a mix of beads and
Suspended above their heads is a
bristly pig whose legs become one
with the heads of these beauties; a truly
empty idea. The saving grace of the piece
is again Callners’ familiarity with tinted,
pastel-like color schemes
Bob Cartmell, graphics, has produced
wo masterful pieces of color intuglio.
“Peppermint Tree” and “Chrystal Beach”
are deluged with cooland warm colors in-
terspersed among stark black movements
and at once incite confusion and peace.
These are remarkably balanced com-
positions and truly pleasing to the senses.
They are examples of a mature style, His

ays strongly apparent. A view of
these two works alone are worth a trip to
However, disappointment is near at
hand. Next to those are two more intaglio
prints which in fact are not intaglio at all.
They appear to be photo-offset prints of
as yet unknown origin. Intaglio is iden-
sified by raised and depressed postions of
paper within graphic print (etching
or collograph), “Big | at Luna” and
“Dogfight” are flat compared to the
aforementioned color prints. It isa pollu-
tion of the gallery. Imagine walkinginto

The illustrations themselves are Dada-
ist in nature in that they try to destroy art
and be art at the same time. He has done
his students and himself a great disservice
by signing his name to these
abominations, The finest form of
teaching is through example, and this is
poor indeed.
William Wilson, painting, is getting
better all the time, His ability to create
depth in his pictures is unequalled in the

hhas tleveloped a complete society made up of women. Joanna herself believes
fervently in liberation and is frustrated by the opposition, both consciousand
unaware, that she constantly meets,
The book shifts rapidly from one world to another, presenting archetypal
‘scenes and personal incidents. The characters bounce idea ch other,
‘ surprising themselves and us as well, Ms. Russ possesses great insight into
human (male and female) psychology, and refuses to create comfortable
stock images. Thus, Whileaway, the totally female world, is not free of
violence. And when Janet first encounters male, she is not eager to have sex.
“Don't you wonder what you're missing?” “No. and it would seem like
bestiality, anyhow.” She is a natural lesbian, to the discomfort of

her own unnamed misery and unknown desire, she demonstrates the validity

character of Laura, a teenager seduced by Janet. As she increasingly
perceives the prison of her feminine role, she daydreams of violence.
Ms, Russ is a skillful writer. With a precise touch, she illustrates time and
time again the degradation forced upon women by our society. She is too
honest, however, to indulge in pure hate. She recognizes that men too are
bound by their roles, and deserved some pity. But men, after all, are on top.
Joanna is in the worst role of all, that of the female man. She is in the truest
sense a man, capable of taking any human role, and she knows this, But she is
female, and therefore placed in a limited and inferior position.
The pain of being a female man is terrible, and must be relieved somehow.
Desperation sometimes drives loa nna to share Laura's fantasies of violence.

On His Farm There Was This
by Marla Buceiferro
'ma chick. don’t feel tikea chick, but I'm
referred to as one. A chick: a cute fluffy baby
chicken kids cuddle on Easter; a baby bird 80
dumb it'd follow a vacuum cleaner if that’s the
first moving thing it saw upon hatching.
But there's some consolation: f won't be
chick forever. I'l grow up to be a hen. Fe

Bo. lil henpeck him tlle leaves the roost with
the rest of my brood, and I'lldie a lonely old
biddy. Sounds great.
‘Oh, you say I'mexaggerating from nothing,
that “chick” isan inoffensive slang expression
commonly used by “hip” men and women
alike—that it’s a term long divorced from the
baby chicken, Well, a chick is a chick is a
chick, Call me feather-brained, but 1 can't
separate the word from its original referent.
How can one expect to be taken seriously if
one identifies with, or is identified with an
adorable but mindiess fuzzy thing good for
petting but not much else? Today many young
women are trying to be taken seriously;
women are trying to change their dumb
breeder image,
crete, but are abstractions that exist in
people's minds, abstractions that are usually
with and evoked by words.
‘A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet.” Not so. A word's connatative
meaning transcends its denotative meaning, A
chick by any other name ... would be a
different entity. One could refer to a 21-year-
old neighbor as the chick next door, the lady
next door, the broad next door, the woman
next door. This neighbor could be a Negro, a
, Black woman. Youcan
language and ‘cultural attitudes, the use
another chicken metaphor, is ‘like that
between the chicken and the egg, Cultural at-
titudes shape language; language shapes
cultural attitudes,
‘The bias in our culture against women has
shaped the language. Many words reflect
‘women's lower prestige. Patron and matron,
Middle English for father and mother, are
used today as: patron...of thearts; matron..,.of
a jail or restroom. Governor...of
governess...of children. Major...in an army;
majorette...in a drum corps. The attitude that
women are sexual objects has also colored
words that were originally parallel: a master is
‘one who rules; a mistress is one who is kept.
Sir..a title of respect; madam...manager of a
brothel, Call-boy..summons actors to the
stage; call-gitl..is summoned to bed.
‘The word “chick” was shaped by and is
symptom of cultural attitudes. By
perpetuating the stereoty pe, by putting young
women in their place in » “cool” and subtle
way, the use of the word “chick” shapes
cultural attitudes as well.
1 know | (eel left out when my psych book
refers to “the child...he," “the student...he,”
“the teacher...he.” Don't “she’s” count for
anything? And often words such as “man” and
“mankind,” which are supposed to be in-
clusive, sound very exclusive. “Givea kida job
and help molda man," readsa subway poster.
Erich Fromm writes that man’s “vital in-
terests” are “life, food, access to females,” etc.
If “our man in Algiers” asks “the man on the
street” who “the best man for the job” is, the
answer will probably be“a man ofthe people.
or “the working man’s friend.” A woman is a
possibility no one considers.
Language is both a symptom and a cause of
cultural attitudes against women: Language
can be part of a cure. When a professor uses
“he/she” instead of the continual “he,” I feel
good. I feel included: I figure in the scheme of
things. Ifone finds “he/ she” too awkward, one
can always change the word to the plural, such
as “students...they.” Instead of saying “the
best man for the job,” one could say “the best
person;” instead of a 12-man jury, a 12-
member one. It’s worth the effort to
acknowledge the existence of the ather half of
the population, Andinstead of saying “chick,”

A Most Considerable
Dilemma
With the beginning of a new academic year
higher education finds itself na considerable
dilemma. On the one hand we have the so
ideal which developed through the course of
the 1960s: not just the financially capable, but
all should have the opportunity to develop
through education, At the same time we have
the economic realities. of the mid-1970s which
dictate avsterity. Minority students, ior exam:

higher education now find themselves in the

education is
_ To understand the dilemma that education
finds itself in today wenecd only to ook at our
‘own school. Whereas other issues in the news
seem abstract and distant at times this is one
that hits right at home. One need only refer to
the letter received in the mail last month from
the Dean for Student Affairs. “We have faced
and resolved a major budget crisis which
resulted in a net reduction of the campus
operating budget by some $2 million.” In the
‘area of higher education what does this mean
for SUNYA in particular?
Due to higher and higher costs in the private
sector of education more students have come

State University system, in hopes of receiving

economic times are upon us this does not
mean applicants haye to stampede out of
priv schools to public systems like
S.U.N.Y. One remedy lies in subsidizing
students to private institutions with some of
the funds used previously for expansion of
public education. Some contend that this
would be more efficient and would enable the
filling of already existing but underused
private facilities. Henry Paley, head of the
Commission on Independent Colleges and
Universities argues that the low tuitions charg-
ed by state schools are illusory bargains, ar-
tificially lowered by subsidy and ultimately
paid for by the taxpayer. So part of the solu-
tion is not so much new money for higher
education, but rather redistribution of money
already available.

Congress's recent cut-off of arm shipments to Turkey isa example of good intentions
gone wrong,
Although Turkey's intervention in Cyprus last year surely makes them appear to be
the aggressors, seen from their point of view, they were saving Cyprus from a junta
controlled from Greece and thereby protecting the integrity of the original Cyprus
accord of the sixties. Greece started the crisis by supporting the coup that ousted
Markios, and then its government fell as Turkey came in to counter the Greek Cypriot
movement. Greece owes its new democratic government to Turke
The reason Congress cited for halting Turkey's military supplies was their use
outside of Turk borders. But by that standard, Israel too should not receive
armaments, Pressures from the Greek-American lobby is, generally held responsible
for this inconsistancy: both Turkey and Israel were acting outside their borders in a
defensive action.
the Soviet Union is bringing into the Mediterranean Sea
through the Bosporus and what they are shipping to the Arab countries. Without
cooperation, the U.S. would have difficulty informing Israel about Arab

themselves on July 11, 1975.
The payments in question total
more than $400,000 and were given
to 163 of the 210 kegislators on the
next to the last day of the legislative
session.
