Environmental Crime
Construction of the uptown campus of Albany State began in
1962. Since that time an industrial area has grown in the
Exchange West Area, shopping centers have been built in the
Colonic and Central Avenue areas, and all litis while, stale and
city officials have known that the lack of sewage treatment has
meant environmental destruction and the tlireal of disease.
State and city officials have been criminally negligent of their
responsability. They admittedly have known of the severity of the
pollution, they admittedly have realized all the while that the one
sewage treatment plant at Westerlo Island—built in 1910—was
doing absolutely nothing to lessen the destructive effects of
untreated waste.
Educational
Once upon a time, there existed a
nation which prided itself on its
educational excellence. Everybody spoke only praise of its
secondary schools and universities. These schools were the places
where parents used to send their
children to get ahead, when
getting ahead meant something
different than it does today.
Needless to say, the students
started questioning the foundations upon which the schools were
built, and they even questioned
some people and administrators
too. The university was accused of
being interwoven within the complex military-industrial complex.
So many administrators were
questioned on this complex relationship that quite a few of them
developed a complex of their
own. Many frauds proved Sigmund correct.
Some people who noticed the
problem within the university decided to sec what the high
schools were like. They expected
Excellence?
to find subversive elements influencing the minds of the young,
but found faculty members were
relatively "straight." They were
not only straight, but were
moving along Rigor Mortis Drive
rapidly.
In high school, things were like
this. When anyone walked into a
bathroom, it was worse than being
in Los Angeles, smog wise. Sometimes when teachers walked in
they ordered those partaking in
c r e a t i n g this semi-purplehaze-making to sit in detention
that night. This means that a
student would have to sit quietly
in a room from about 7:00 to
9:00 p.m.. After completing this
police function, the "teacher"
would usually retire to his department office for a heavy smoke or
two.
Then there were coaches of
learns. Now these guys were pure.
If anyone smoked on one of their
teams, it was a no-no. If anyone
drank on one oftheir teams, it was
a no-no. If anyone had syphilus
they undoubtedly would have
been thrown off the team too. It
is unknown how many coaches
have had liver trouble, but many
have gone home to their wives
with an urge to soccer.
Admidst other problems, a drug
"epidemic" swept the land. "I
dont know why they destroy
themselves like that," said the
teacher, after ordering one of his
students to copy the words in the
dictionary. "You think that they
have problems like grown-up people do!"
"You know what really annoys
me? These hyppocritical kids who
w a n I rights
without
responsibilities and who say they
are for peace and who can't even
get along with their parents. They
are insecure," mentioned the man
salaried by the school to teach,
while he sucked on his grade
book.
And the kids turned off and on.

Easter Hassles
To The Editor:
We would like to bring to the attention of the
student body the fact that as now scheduled we
must come back to campus after spring recess on
Easter Sunday. Considering the great distances that
students must travel, the present arrangement would
not allow students to spend much time with their
families on this day.
We propose that spring vacation should begin at
5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 5 instead of on
Saturday, April 3. Dorms would then reopen at 12
noon on Monday, April 12 instead of on Easter
Sunday.
Students interested in changing the present
schedule should contact their quad Central Council
representative or Faculty-Student senator. The
names of representatives can be obtained by calling
the Student Association office at 457-6542.

Patroon Creek
T o the Editor:
The article on the Death of Patroon Creek was
timely and well dono, for the most part. It was an
honest effort to do more than talk in generalities
about pollution. Several questions which came to
my mind towards the end of the article remained
unanswered, however. I would like to know if the
Tobin Packing Company is performing a needed
community service (that is, do people desire to buy
their meat products) and, if so, is it possible for
Tobin to continue to perform this service while
further abating the polution they create? Mr Oblas
did not indicate the types of uction the company
might take, other than just wait for the expected
hook-up to some distant sewer system not yet under
construction. I suspect that others besides myself do
not know the steps which comparable firms have
taken to ulleviate pollution. If we team more
exactly what Tobin has not done, then we as
individuals are more capable of confronting Tobin
on this issue.
By this time most of us are aware of the
environmental crisis, but unfortunately it is hard for
us to really evaluate all sides of the issues because of
the lack of definite information. I would like to see
a series in the ASP putting forth "hard" information
on selected problems such as phosphates in detergents, and what might occur if we were to replace
them with something else, etc. Discussion of other
issues of a more local nature, such as the Patroon
Creek problem, would also be welcome. Also, it
would be nice to have a more optimistic article
illustrating positive effects of pollution abatement
(if such a situation can be found). And finally, I
suspect many of us would enjoy reading an article
which describes an effective municipal sewer, garbage, and trash disposal system.
Sincerely,
John N. Aronson

Bad News?
To the Editor:
The Tuesday, November 10 issue of ASP was the
worst issue that I have seen in my short time here.
Clearly "Flats on Campus" is hardly my (or I should
hope anyone else's) idea of a front page news story.
Such ii story should be considered a feature and
should therefore be assigned to a place on a
subsequent page. Furthermore, PYE activities,
though interesting and highly commendable, should
not be given coverage on page one. Priority should
be given lo subjects affecting the university community as a whole. Perhaps ASP should reconsider
what constitutes news and what constitutes features.
The "Airplane" article on page five was an insult
to the intelligence of college students in general.
Such was truly an example of a "concise" review (or
whatever it was supposed to be). Roy & Shirley
should win the years booby prize for that one. Is
that all that can be said about the Airplane concert
that drew two sellout crowd*'!
I have often wondered what ASP has done lo
institute regular columns of the arts, satire in
general, etc. Such might be a good idea.
Thankfully the Eep, ASP Sports, and the Coin
munications paged have remained up lo par- let's
hope they won't have to'save this "New York Daily
News"ish publication for long.
Bob Kattan
Instead, anticipating the economic advantage of the industrial and
commercial growth, and unwilling to risk unpopularity in educating the public to the need for extensive and expensive treatment
units, Ihey have permitted the situtation to seriously worsen and
have spoken too vaguely for loo long of a unified sewage system,
Even now, there arc serious questions as to whether the proposed
system will adequately handle the dumpage of waste.
The State Health Department lists Albany County as a "major"
polluter of the environment. Il lists all the surrounding cities and
communities as "major" polluters. Il lists Tobin Packing Company in the same calegory
the same catagory as a city of
120,000.
What is most disheartening is thai the public must now depend on
the same city and slate officials who have dragged their feet for so
long. Obviously, Tobin's, Stale University, Manning Paper, Normiskill Septic and Killip Laundry cannot be expected to build
their own individual treatment plants. Yet, what they must do, in
recognition of their own pari in the pollution mess, is lopul lite
utmost pressure on the cily and state lo expedite the county
sewage treatment system.
We are asked hy the cily to believe that this central syslem will
appear within the next two years. We are asked lo believe this hy
a government which has known of the situation for thirty years
and winch has helped lo make il grow worse within the last eight
years by approving the growth and development of further
industrial and commercial polluters. We cannot simply believe.
Unfortunately, we are at the point where to preserve the quality
of life we most slruggle against cily and slate bureaucracy.
Only forceful and constant pressure will prod these officials into
action. Only a public outcry against their present course of events
will force Ihem to reconsider Iheir budgetary priorilics. For the
sake of our collective necks, litis outcry must be heard.
Thursday's Fast
This Thursday night, one of the fraternities on campus is
sponsoring a food fast for the American Indians. Food Service will
give approximately $1.00 for every meal not consumed. The
money will be used for the support of the currently existing
Navajo Community College. We have neglected the Indian for loo
long. Giving up one meal is a small thing to ask. Please do nol eat
on Thursday night. This money can he put to constructive use.

State Restricts
SUNYA Growth
by Neil! Shanahan
The growth of SUNYA has been restricted due to budgetary
restraints imposed by the State Legislature and SUNY Central Office,
President Benezet said yesterday. As a consequence, the Master Plan,
which outlines the long-range goals of the University, will have to be
revised and cut back.
"The economic indicators are down." President Benezet said. "Tax
revenues are inadequate,. We are going to have to take a good hard
look-a basic review of our priorities." President Benezet made his
remarks in an interview with the Albany Student Press. His statements
were similar to those Dr. Allen Kuusisto, his predecessor, had made in
his 1970-71 Budget Message.
Although the restraint over the last few years has affected all
departments, some have been hit harder than others. Among those
most affected have been the library, new and experimental programs,
the School of Nursing and increases in faculty personnel.
"The concept of a limitless Albany State was a dream and we realize
it must be brought into reality." Dr. Benezet said.
That concept, as incorporated into the Master Plan, called for an
increase in the number of students to over 20,000 by 1975, the
growth of library volumes to nearly two million, the accredidation of
a School of Nursing, a significant increase in the number of
fellowships for teaching assistants, and significant increase in the space
available.
Among those areas hardest hit has been workload allotments for
personnel-faculty lines. Dr. Benezet said that at an October 12
Budgetary Hearing Meeting, the University had emerged with support
for only one-third of the previously authorized faculty increases.
Library purchases have been curtailed as well. According to a
formula used, called the Clapp Jordan formula, SUNYA should now
possess over one million volumes. It possesses about 600,000 and will
fall nearly one million behind by 1975 at the present rate.
"We will be forced into a situation of selective increase in the
volume of books, going for quality rather than quantity," Dr. Benezet
said.
The Library faces space problems as well. Dr. Benezet noted that
other offices, such as EOP are currently holding space in the building's
basement.
The School of Nursing has not yet achieved accreditation. In 1969,
the dean of the school nearly quit rather than continue without
adequate financial support. Currently, due to space problems, the
Nursing School is occupying space in the BA Building.
In 1970-71 Budget Message, Dr. Kuussisto had said: "The rate of
progress mandated by the Master Plan cannot be attained." He had
also noted, "Many faculty members came to SUNYA with great
expectations, not so much for personal recompence but rather
because they believed that they would be partners in one of the most
vibrant and vital university expansions in the world. Practically, they
were led to expect the resources, staff, supplies, and equipment
needed to develop their respective programs to an advanced level of
excellence. Their's is now a mood of disenchantment."
President Benezet said that he could not determine whether
disenchantment exists at present or not, but did say that previous
estimates and commitments had a dreamlike quality and that many
would not be fulfilled at the present rate of growth. "We'll end up
smaller than we ought to be," he said.
"Most faculty recognize the reality of the situation and know that
the best response we can possibly make is to come up with new ideas
and new sources of revenue, and new programs, such as the
Environmental Studies, which have an appeal."

Crime on Campus
Petty
Theft
by Sharon Cohen
In the past year, SUNYA has
experienced a rapid increase in the
number of crimes committed on
campus. As of November of last
year, 507 crimes had been reported to the security office; this year,
the number has risen to 898 reported crimes.
a
Complaint
According to John Henighan, an
investigator for the security office
the major complaint is petty
thievery in the dorms. This includes the theft of wallets, radios,
and other personal possessions. He
attributes these thefts to the
"openness" of students' suites and
rooms, and of the dormitories
themselves. He feels that the unenforced 11 o'clock lock-up and
unlocked suites and rooms "invite" people to steal.
Another big problem is theft out
of cars in the parking lota, with
tape decks being a very common
item stolen. A cause of these
thefts is the fact that the parking
lots are poorly lit and are laid out
with no provisions for security.
The types of crimes committed
have not really changed, at least in
the past two years. During the last
few weeks, though, there have
been instances of armed robberies
on campus.
Along with the rise in the number of crimes, the number of
arrests made by security hsve also
increased. There has been an increasing number of cases in which
the victim has insisted on pressing
charges, oven Tor petty thefts,
although there is a limited amount
of evidence in these instances.
Walt's Submarine Shop has been
a victim of two armed robberies.
On two consecutive nights in
September, the driver of the delivery truck was held up, once at
gunpoint, and once with the
threat of a gun. The store window
has also been broken and subs
stolen.
Walt's Submarines' deliveries
have been a target for several
robberies both this semester and
last (left).

its administration and control, and its size. In order to continue the
Day Care beyond March 31, the University will have to request
supplementary appropriations-estimated to be $90,000.
"That will be the crucial stage. Wc will have to take an honest and

The United Nations adopted a treaty that bans "the placement
of nuclear weapons on the seabed" outside the 1 2-mile limit of
any nation. The treaty, which was adopted 91-2 by the Political
CommiLtee of the General Assembly, has been compared to the
1967 pact which prohibited the employment of nuclear weapons
in space or any celestial body, such as the moon. An agreement
between the United States and the Soviet Union was the driving
force behind the treaty.
Disease is sweeping the area that was hit by a cyclone in East
Pakistan last week. Pakistani leaders are pleading for vaccine to

The United States Senate, by a 82-11 vote, passed a strong
occupational safety bill that provides for the establishment of
guides over working conditions, a regulatory power usually left to
state governments. The bill empowers the Secretary of Labor to
set working standards. The measure, which now goes to the
House, was at least a temporary end of the struggle between labor
and the pro-business Nixon Administration.
Secretary of Defense Laird predicted that the military budget
would increase in the near future. Laird attributed the increase to
"inevitable upward pressures" on the Nixon Administration that
have been ignored too long.
In a landmark case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
District at San Francisco ruled that the federal government must
clearly show the urgency for the ordering of a journalist to testify
before a secret grand jury. The decision was a resultant of a case
involving Earl Caldwell, a black reporter for the New York Times.
Caldwell had refused to testify against the Black Panther Party.
American Telephone and Telegraph announced its intention to
seek an increase in interstate toll call rates, which would mean an
average raise of 6%. This will be, if granted, the first general
increase in interstate rates in 17 years.

New York City officials have proposed a stringent anti-air
pollution code that would increase maximum penalties by 100%
for polluters, and would allow the informants of violators a share
of the fine as reward money. Mayor Lindsay called the proposed
code "the toughest and most comprehensive in the nation."
According to the New York City Hoard of Corrections, the
Young Lord who was a prisoner in the Tombs, and who hanged
himself last month, was a victim of an "inhuman" penal system.
The Board said that the demoralizing criminal system was

which is strictly advisory, was revived by the Mayor after the
Young Lords charged that a member, Julio Itoldan, had been

The Board of Trustees regarding
the termination of administrative

Jacob as a Graduate Assistant for

has precipitated a concern for new

It was with great difficulty that
this reporter learned the situation
surrounding Jacob's dismissal. Yet
aside from the personal issues
involved, there appears to have
unfolded a more important debate
on the welfare needs of the student versus the welfare needs of
the staff. Jacob was dismissed for
supposed unprofessional conduct
in his dealings with higher residence staff. And it is his contention that since his role in the
dorm and subsequent dismissal
would affect students directly,
there should be a definite student
voice in such staff changes.
Presently, as was explained by
Dr. Charles Fisher, head of University residence, there are no
such student committees. He

President Benezet, the next step
will be for Vice President of Academic Affairs, Charles O'Reilly to
call a meeting of appropriate administration officers.
These officers will suggest to the
President a member of the academic community who will serve
as director of the Environmental

develop a curriculum for this program and to develop this program

itself or the interests of the students. Fisher admitted that the
current system is undemocratic,
yet he feels the interests of professionalism and privacy are best
served by this system, However,
Jacob feels that since students
best know their welfare there

Colonial Quad's parking lot will be paved over Thanksgiving

An environmental studies department leading to degree programs
on the undergraduate level will probably be instituted in the near
future.
The possibility of diverting SUNYA sewage to the Hudson River
via a sewage treatment plant, rather than sending it to Patroon
('reek (see Nov. 16 issue of the ASP) was discussed. Unfortunately
the pipeline that would have to be used will be filled to capacity
when Indian Quad is fully occupied. Other remedial plans were
discussed in light, of this finding.
Tensions coused by the recent firing of a residence staff member
(see story on page 3 led to a discussion on the failures of the
hiring and firing practices here at Albany. It was suggested that
next time such a case be presented to the Student Judicial system
or the Student Affairs Council. President Benezet supported the
idea of creating a commission to deal with resolving such
conflicts.
Education Department
The teacher Education Committee of the School of Education
will hold an open hearing on a proposal for changing the teacher

The meeting will be held Monday, Nov. ;10 at 3:30 in LC 2. No
decisions have been made about the proposal therefore student
reaction should have an important bearing on the outcome.

of her affair with a married professor t o a close friend, the news

does n o t disappear even after confession, and she is t o r m e n t e d by
the fact of never seeing her lover

As her b r o t h e r says "Confession
is like negating whatever happ e n e d ; it m a k e s you forget whatever b e a u t y t h e r e was and den o u n c e s t h e ecstasy as filth."
Eventually she is so o v e r c o m m e
by the t h o u g h t of sinning t h a t she

LAAC Reasserts Itself
Political Tendencies
Chance and the Draft
The accidents of birth are the accidents of death. One man, born
within minutes of the other, may die for the difference. If he was
premature or overdue or right on time, his life, his personality, the
scars on his face may be completely different. .
The logic of the draft lottery is that men may ignore the
uncertainities of waiting, the rigors of boot camp, the ignominy of
a far-away imperialism. With their accidents of birth they may
escape by shedding their deferment. The logic has it: drop the
deferment now, wait it out until New Year's Eve in perfect
certainty that there will be no call, and begin 1971 and the rest of
life a free man.
Free? Is chance so determinant that it can decide between the
free and the slave? Chance brings freedom from danger, freedom
from the moral perversion of suppressing a poor people, a yellow
people who have wished us no harm. Chance means freedom to
live as one would, to conduct one's own business, to weave one's
own lucky way through life.
But chance cannot make a man free. Escape cannot make a man
free. Neither chance nor escape can untie the shackles of silent
participation in the destruction and holocaust wrought in one's
name. With freedom comes responsibility. Freedom is the decision
to use chance, to struggle against this unjust and terrible war.
What freedom docs chance bring when blacks and chicanos and
poor whites and unlucky whites arc fighting the war one has so
fortunately escaped? What freedom does chance bring when the
lucky ones deny their burden to correct injustice and struggle
against the insidious forms of tyranny. Would millions throughout
history have struggles and died for mere chance?
The issue is not whether to escape the draft. For those with
conscience il is obvious thai if there is an escape it must be had.
The issue is whether tu escape the silent involvement in the
destruction and desolation of a nation and a people.
Recent political happenings indicate a growing anti-student
mentality in New York State. It is becoming more apparent that
the Board of Trustees and University officials are being placed
under growing pressure to "put the raps" on students.
The first indication of what was approaching came last year
when the New York State Temporary Commission of Campus
Violence (The Henderson Commission) instructed all campuses to
file rules and regulations on campus disorder and to enforce those
regulations with expulsions and suspensions.
This September Judge Koreman went beyond the issues of the
Stringer vs Gould case to instruct the Board of Trustees to review
all student government budgets to insure they were within
"educational, cultural or recreational guidelines."
State officials have reversed previous stands, as well. In 1968
Arthur Levitt issued a memorandum to all State University
Presidents recommending that they give all student governments
complete autonomy over the expenditure of their budgets, the
revenues for which were, and still are, collected by mandatory
assessment. In 1970, on the same day as the Koreman decision, he
reversed that position. Not incidentally, the reversal came in the
midst of the statewide election campaigns.
The Henderson Commission took further action last monih
when it identified mandatory tax as a stimulant to campus unrest
and recommended a referendum on all State Campuses as a slop
(o its elimination. If held immediately, such a move would cripple
student governments on many Slate campuses who have nol
adequately prepared to the loss in revenue which would result
from going lo voluntary assessment.
The election of James Buckley as Senator also may be seen in
this light. Mr. Buckley focused much of his campaign rhetoric on
campus "extremists" and professors who "give them a hearing."
Ironically, the increasing political pressure comes al a lime when
political aclivism on the campus is on the decline. It is beginning
to seem, in fact as if we are entering a period comparable lo Ihal
of the late, fifties wherein most students confined themselves to
their inr'vidual pursuits and the most creative and most radical
"dropped out"-or dropped into bohemian cliches.
This is most unfortunate, for it means, in effect, that students
do not directly confront the repressiveness of the laws and
regulations directed against them. It means that whatever political
and cultural consciousness the strike infused has been lost. It
means that Ralph Nader may indeed be correct in estimating thai
student crusades have an ambivalent quality about them.

Draft Counseling Service
Before you read this column, a few comments are
in order:
1. Read the entire column, and read it carefully.
Your draft status may depend upon it....If you have
any questions, contact a draft counselor.
2. Before you read the following more or less
"objective" explanation of the fairly complex Selec
tiue Service System, a few notes of a non-objective
nature must be made.
The following article explains how some lucky
men, by virtue of the accident of their date of birth,
and their good fortune to be college students at the
right time, will be able to evade military service. At
the same time, thousands of men are being drafted
against their will to serve and fight, and possibly die
in a war which has been repudiated and exposed as
an tinti-democratic, imperiuliBt venture. Other thousands of men are finding their lives disrupted by
either being forced to leave the country, go to jail,
or spend two years working in a job which the
Army forces them to muintuin. Those men who are
aided by the following information—thoBe men who
are going to be able Lo avoid the draft completely
must not forget the busic inequalities and injustices
perpetrated by the Selective Service System.
Contrury to the bousts of many Administration
members, the lottery has in no way made the draft
more "equitable." To speak of greater equity in a
system which is, in basic concept, inequitable, is to
speak in meaningless terms. Enforced slave labor in
a cruel, anti-humun organization does not exactly
correspond with the idealized view of America's
Armed Forces, but it is more or less an accurate
picture of the way our nation meets its manpower
heeds for its wars. And, as James Simon Kunen said
in the Struwberry Statement, "If a country has to
draft men to defend it, then there is nothing to
defend. If there is something to defend, but draft is
still necessary, then the nation's defense is not in
question."
r
Israel
To the Editor:
I thought your article on
"Israel's Right To Live" an apt
description of the situation in the
Mideast. The only thing I fell
over-emphasized is the affect of
the Orthodox Party on government policies. Despite loud opposition the Orthodox did not
succeed hi preventing the initiation of television broadcasts on
Friday nights, the Jewish Sabbath.
It is true that buses don't run
Friday night till Saturday evening
but I'm sure this will be corrected
in time. As they say in Israel
there's a war on. Still, the government is for the most part secular.
It's taking Italy a long time to
allow a simple divorce. Israel is
twenty-one years old and there
still remain a lot of die-hard religious.
Great Cro w
who meels the qualifications.
What this all means is, if you are lottery number
196, and you drop your deferment, and, by sonic
unforseen circumstance that number is reached tins
year (despite all protestations to the contrary from
draft board officials), you will be drafted. HOW
EVER, if you meet the qualifications for the l-S(c),
your induction will be canceled, and you will
reenter the lottery next year.
In other words, it appears that there is very little
to be lost by entering the 1970 lottery for those
students with lottery numbers over 195.
So, if you drop your deferment—soon—and have a
lottery number of 196 or higher, the chances appear
lo be excellent that you will have completed your
one yeur of eligibility in the lottery on December ;t 1
of this yeur—and that your chances of ever being

Many college students may be able to "beat" the
draft this year—and permanently—if they act
promptly. As a result of new Selective Service
Regulations, (which do so knowingly) a loophole
hus arisen for students with high lottery numbers.
It now appears probable that unless some unforseen development occurs in the next '15 days, the
draft call for the entire 1970 Lottery year will nol
go over number 195 anywhere in the nation. If that
holds, all men with numbers over 195 (drawn in the
first drawing, last December) who are classified I-A
as of December 31, 1970, will be placed in a
"second priority group," which would mean that
their chances of ever being drafted are negligible,
The extru advantage for college students, resulting
from a new directive handed down by the Chief of
Selective Service this past October 26, allows
s t u d e n t s t o ^ p t n e | r ||.g classifications and be
reclassified I-A with a minimum of delay. In this
way, students with lottery numbers of 196 or over
can now drop their deferments as late as the first of
December, be reclassified I-A, and, if their number
is not reached by December 31, be moved to the
lower priority group: again, this means chances of
induction will be quite low.
In addition, the existence of another student
deTerment—the I-S(c)—indicates that the risk involved in dropping the IIS and playing "Lottery
Bingo" is practically nonexistent.
The l-S(c) is granted to a full time student (who
has lost his 11 -S somehow), who has never received
the l-S(e) before, and who receives an induction
order. Il usually is given to students who require
one last year to complete their studies, but in any
case, it defers the student until the end of the
academic year. Any student at this University who
has never received the I-S(c) before, and is taking at
least 12 credits, is eligible for this deferment. It
servos the same-purpose as the 11-S, and does not
preclude the student's regaining Ids IIS at some
later time. The l-S(c) is u mandatory classification

Money: The Story of Higher Education
N o t long ago it was no big problem for a college to raise money.
T h e president simply went out and p u t the mooch on some fat alumnus.
But t h a t won't work today. Most alumni, shaky about what's happening on American campuses, are sewing up their pockets. And even
those few who can atill be snowed are driving hard bargains. Not long
ago, for instance, Walter "Boola" McMeekin, Yale '07, got a new
gymnasium named after him and all he gave was three dollars and
forty cents.
Well sir, what's a college to do? If they try to raise tuition just
once more, the remaining buildings will surely be levelled. By the
parents, I mean. Nor can colleges cut operating costs any further because they long ago eliminated all the frills like, for example, heating
the dormitories. So where will they find the money they so desperately
need?
Well sir, if yours happens to be a college where beer is sold in the
student union, you've got it licked. All you have to do is p u t in a
plentiful supply of Miller High Life and stand back. You'll see business
boom beyond your most hopeful dreams because every undergrad in
the country is positively bananas about Miller High Life! And why
wouldn't he be? Is any other beer so tasty'! So xesty'! So trusty? So
gutsy? So feisty? So feasty? So yeasty? So maltsy? So hopsy?
No, dear friends, Miller stands alone, light-years above the others.
And the others will never equal it, for they will never learn Miller's
marvelous brewing formula, a jealously guarded secret for mure than
115 years. In fact, the formula today is known to only one man on
e a r t h - Miller's chief hrewmaster who will never, never talk because
he is not only a deaf-mute, he is also a Transylvania,) who, as you
know, can turn into a hat if he is ever captured.
Fred Cohen and Michael Peit are associated with
the Criminal Justice Department of Albany State.
They are also associated with such dissidents as
Vernon B o w e n , Liz and Stu Ewen, Steve Cooper,
Jack Schwartz, and Jerry Wagner. It is important t o
them that such voices by heard, n o t in a jail cell, but
out in the o p e n . As the word is defined, they are
radicals, for they seek the truth at the very roots.
Fred Cohen, Professor, seeks, through his course

ones t h e y o u t h are screaming against, a n d t h e y
c a n n o t be pitied, for t h e y are the e n e m y . "
He regards t h e University as being void of a
quality of life, and seeks t o point o u t t h a t it m u s t
be more careful in t h e manner in which it m o v e s
against s t u d e n t s .
F o r his o w n life he says: " I have an obligation t o

offices such as t h e Criminal J u s t i c e R e s o u r c e C e n t e r

" A black m i l i t a n t o n c e said t h a t t h e b e s t thing h e

Mr. Feit finds himself in agreement with the
criticisms of the black and revolutionary peoples.
Yet, though he u n d e r s t a n d s t h a t s o m e w h o resort t o

What they did was add a six-dollar cover charge to each meal in
the student cafeteria. Naturally they hud to justify the charge, so they
started doing floor shows during meals. Believe me, folks, if you're ever

T h e show opens with Professor Norman Glebe, the ever-popular
head of the sociology arid weather-stripping department, doing several

done by Jose Feliehmn, Georges Pompidou, and Woody Woodpecker.
Next he sings School Dayn as it might be done by the Lennon Sisters,
the Mayo Brothers and Murk lludd. For his last number he does that

A tough act to follow, right? B u t wait. After him comes Professor
Nirvana Slgafooa, the ever-popular head of the Finnish and other guttural languages department, whose specialty is swallowing. She starts

TO RAPIDIW MOVING PARKING LOTS
$ht 1970.
Vol. IVII No. 37
by John Fairhall
Controversy later arose when
Newfeld criticized the proposed
lots, saying they would ruin "the
quality and nature of living," and
would make it impossible "to
enjoy campus life with a car rolling in at seven in the morning
underneath your window."
Tisdale said, however, that to
provide for the necessary parking
space, certain areas had to be
used. He further said that the new
lots will only increase the total
to 6000, not the 8000 necessary
for 1975. Stating a desire to avoid
additional encroachment upon open areas, he expressed confidence
that the remaining 2000 spaces
w o u l d come in the yeL
unapproved two-level garages.
Mr. Tisdale added that the areas
to be used will not lose their
Plans for four new permanent

David Neufeld, President of Student Association. Designed tu
meet the need for 8000 parking
spaces by 1975 (there are 3200
now), were first presented to students at an Educational Policy
Council meeting.
Walter Tisdale, Assistant to the
President for Planning and Development, is the administer most
involved in construction planning.
Mr. Tisdale, present at the meeting, said discussion there resulted
in a proposal for paving the temporary Colonial lot. This has been
accepted and according to President Benezet, the lot will be
paved during Thanksgiving. The
meeting ended with Tisdale "feeling we had an assent."

surrounding trees, and said of the
land to be used, "it's by no means
an ecological area."
The map itself demonstrates
that Neufeld's latter remarks are
not justified. Cars will clearly not
surround the quads. However,
there does remain the fact of an
increase in air and noise pollution
form a more than doubled increase in cars. There is also the
fact of diminishing open areas and
this will increase even with the
garages.
While Tisdale has not seriously
considered the possibility, there is
the suggestion that cars should be
limited. Instead of planning for
increased cars, why not study the
possibility of reducing their numbers?
Certainly many students could
be restricted, as on other campuses, as well as faculty and administrators. Car pools might be
feasible for the latter groups.
However, on the question of the
four lots, Mr. Tisdale feels that
student involvement is now "too
late." He feels reconsideration of
the plans would necessarily involve a great loss of time, time
necessary to meet the increased
need for space. He noted that the
present Comprehensive Campus
Plan was a year long effort and
that additional time is consumed
as plans are inspected by the
central office.
That judgment is, though, quite
questionable: if the lots have become an issue, then surely further
discussion must be based on the
fact that students will have to
severely limit their right to cars on
campus.
The parking lots will fade as an
issue in a relatively short time.
The far greater issue is that of
future construction on campus.
Mr. Tisdale feels that now is the
time for student involvement in
campus planning. "It will be welcomed," he said, and suggested
that Central Council organize a
group now to meet with him. He
feels strongly that student influence should be felt and has initiated steps to discuss lake area construction with students.
The parking lots, then, represent
far greater importance if the present controversy results in vastly
improved student influence on
State's future.
— T. OmrMMw. Camp*,
The predicted need lor K000 parking spaces by 1975 will be met by
construction of four new permanent parking lots. The additional need lor
space will arise mainly from increases in graduate and commuter students.
On Wednesday of this week, this reporter had the distinct pleasure
of meeting several new residents in Pierce Hall. Unlike most of the
graduate residents in that building, these newcomers carried blocks
and bottles instead of B.A.'s. And it seemed quite apparent that the
first priority of these residents was the mastering of their new
environment.
The scene described above clearly refers to the newly instituted Day'
Care Center on the Albany State Campus. The Center as it now stands
in a large sense is the product of demands made by Women's
Liberation on the Administration. The current site of the Center was
determined by a fact-finding committee composed of both
Administration and Women's Liberation. In Addition, both these
groups are represented on the Center's Temporary Board of Directors,
along with parents and concerned outside parties. Yet in a short
period of time the Center has assumed a very professional atmosphere.
The regular Day Care Center staff is composed of one program
director with an M.A., one certified teacher, one registered nurse, a
secretary and ten full-time workers with at least n high school diploma
and some experience in child-care.
Mr.". Blair Barrett, the director of the Day Care Center, explained
the procedure for enrolling a child in the Center. To register a child,
the parents must fill out a formal application. A committee of Social
Services from the School of Social Welfare then interviews the parents
and either accepts or rejects the application. Acceptance is based on
roughly three criteria (a) financial need, (b) the number of children in
the family, and (c) scheduling difficulty of the
parents.
In addition, euch child must undergo a thorough physical and no child
with any severe emotional or physical problems will be accepted. It is
hoped to replace this existing Committee by a committee of parents
in the near future.
The financing of the Day Care Center is a best nebulous. At present
the Center is being funded by left over monies in the budget. REcent
talks of budget cut-backs for next year seem to worry the Staff. They
are still hoping to be incorporated into the regular budget in the next
fiscal year. As far as parental contribution is concerned, Mrs. Barrett
pointed out that since the parents of the children are students, it
would be impossible for them to pay $-10 or so a week per child,
which is, the current rate f r private Day Care facilities. Instead the
Welfare Department's sliding scale is used to determine their ability to
pay.
The basic cost of running the University Center works out to be
approximately $2000 a year per infant and $1000 a year per preschooler. Most of these funds are needed for staff salaries.
At present there are 2n-,'i0 children enrolled at the Center.
Hopefully this number will be increased to a maximum capacity of
60. Two distinct age groups are handled at the Center. One group
included children from the ages of six months to Iwo-an-half years of
age. The other includes pre-schoolers from the ages of two-and-half to
five years of age.
Mrs. Barrett pointed out thai already many of the University
Departments have asked to observe the children. The staff will only
comply with such requests if the various interested parties consent to
first work in the Center with the children. This gives the children a
chance to better acquaint themselves with outsiders.
Many of the children at the Center are left there close to nine hours
(7:30 to 5:30). In addition, the number of infants exceeds the
number of preschoolers by about four to one. Yet Mrs. Barrett does
not feet that il is unhealthy to separate the child from the parent at
such a young age. The adjustment to the new environment is rapid. In
one sense the Day Care Center at Albany State is a pioneer. This
Center is the only center in the area which will accept children below
the age of two-and-half. On Wednesday, the Center had been open for
only the third day. Yet already the children were crying to slay and
no! to go home.
Pierce Hall, on the downtown campus, is the site of the Child Day
Cure Center now attended by twenty-five to thirty children.

make it retroactive to the beginning of the year. They cited the
unfairness of policy which punishes student parking violators by

Originally introduced together
with the first proposal but voted
upon separately, was a bill
attempting to create a new policy
for disciplining parking violators.
The proposal reading "that individuals who do not pay their
parking fines within 30 days of
notification of such fines shall
have their parking privileges revoked and be subject to having
their vehicles towed away" passed
by a vote of 27 to 15. Several
student senators in opposing the
bill raised the question of whether
or not the percentage of parking
spaces allotted to students is less

A recommendation from the
University Senate to the University Council which would allow
fraternities and sororities to live
off campus and not lose their
recognition as a chartered SUNYA
organization was also passed.
Since 1963 the University Council
of SUNYA hus not recognized
Greek organizations living off
campus thereby denying them the
use of SUNYA facilities. The new
proposal intends to correct this
situation "with the understanding
the University has no legal responsibility for their off campus
housing accommodations."
Finally, just before , adjournment, a proposed bill introduced
by the Council on Promotion and
Continuing Appointment making
it mandatory for nil departments
to consider for promotion any
individual holding the rank of
assistant professor for at least 6
years, or the rank of associate
professor for at least 7 yours, was
