Opposing a strong Brooklyn College squad, the varsity soccer team opens its season tomorrow at 2 p.m.
on Vet's Field, Coach. Joseph Garcia regards this
year's team as much improved over last year, but he
is also quick to note that the booters are still hampered
by certain weaknesses..

John Clark, Ken Klrlk, Tom Koblnson and Dennis Tuttle are the tour
lettermen who will form the nucleus
of the team. These four men were
members of last year's team which
was undefeated In dual meet competition.
One of the reasons for the Harriers success was Robinson. He won
every dual meet and set a new Record at the LeMoyne Invitational.
Coach Keith Munsey says that Robinson is In as good as shape this
year and should continue to be the
Peds' number one man.
Newcomers Give Depth
Ken Darrner, Jake Johnvllle and
Bob Novack each ran on the frosh
squad last year, and along with
Fred Barker and transfers Ed Brown
and Bob Flick will give the team
greater depth.
Coach Munsey rates Flick's and
Darmer's performances In practice
outstanding and both should be a big
boost to the team.

Coach Munsey calls Brooklyn one of
the strongest opponents the Peds
will face and the absence of Klrlk
could be a decisive factor on the
outcome of the meet.
Team Much Improved
Coach Munsey said "this year's
team is much improved over last
year's and the first five men should
be stronger time wise."
The team this year has some
formidable opponents in New Haven
State, Montclalr State and RPI. Each
of these teams promise to give the
Peds strong competition In their
run for their second consecutive
undefeated season.

•'This year's frosh cross-country

said. He stressed more experience
as the key to this year's team's
strength.
Coach Munsey Is especially optimistic about the prospects of Grant

coach's optimism steins from the

"However, on the weak side, the
team still lacks transition between
defense and offense," Coach Garcia
said. He explained this to mean that
when the Peds gain possession of
the ball they have difficulty creating
offensive patterns.

had not yet decided upon the starting

The Lynne Line on Sports %
by Harold Lynne
Soccer is the nearest thing to u universal sport;
all over the world enthusiastic, often overflowing,
crowds attend professional, college, and even gradeschool soccer games. However, this exciting, fastmoving sport has never had great appeal to the American public.
Being more specific, Albany State students have
never given its soccer team the support that it deserves. It certainly isn't a result of apathy towards
athletics; State basketball and baseball games are
always attended oy good crowds.
We feel that the reason for State students' failure
to actively support their soccer team steams from
•their lack of understanding of the game, To people
unfamiliar with soccer, the game appears to lack
unity, because the ball passes from one team to the
other without apparent progress for either side.
If the spectator would look for offensive patterns,
such as the give-and-go, and defensive teamwork which
are so much a part of soccer, wo are sure that n
greater appreciation of the game and an increase in
enthusiasm would rosult.
The soccer team opens It's season tomorrow at
2 p.m. on Vet's Field, Coach Garcia has Indicated
that he would like to see his players more confident.
A large partisan home crowd would do much to bolster
the hooters' confidence.
Prognostication Dept,
We picked the Yankees to win the pennant in the
American League and they have taken a commanding
lead in the league standings; therefore we're predicting that another New York team, the Giants, can
start winning and still capture the Eastern Division
Championship. Gary Wood will throw three touchdown passes to lead the Giants to vlotory over the
Washington Redskins.

Motel Salary Slump
This university has reached the epitome of bureaucratic stupidity this semester. The current problem has been brought about by the occurrence of
motels instead of New Campus dormitory housing.
When the original budgets were made up last year,
provision was made for office help and other salaried
positions in each of the new complexes.
September arrived with incompleted housing schedules and because there were no dormitory units, budgets for their maintenance were discarded. In actuality, there is no official recognition fiscally of the
four motels being used temporarily.
Six hundred students occupied the motels in September, but no paid office staff was included in the occupation.
It has been up to the Resident Assistants and House
directors so far to take care of office duty. With the
distances and time involved in transportation to and
from motels, it is difficult even for an Assistant to
serve for desk duty all afternoon.
As far as the budgets are concerned, the director
of at least one motel has been told that as a result
of the budget situation they are "fortunate" to be
drawing a salary.
To alleviate matters, some of the girls in the
motels have taken certain hours as desk duty. No
promises are ventured concerning when they will be
paid for their office services.
Still other girls are being told that they must sit
desk during prescribed hours or be served a campus
if they fail to do so.

Goldw..tcr's Opportunity
National Police Force Necessary
Senator Goldwater has played upon
the fears of whites by promising to
make the streets safe and to end violence by Negroes. For Goldwater,
as Chief Executive, to accomplish
this, he would have to inaugurate a
national police force with powers
that would obviously duplicate the
powers of existing state and municipal agencies. Yet, Goldwater fears
the Civil Rights Act because "Such
a law could even open the door to a
police-state system of enforcement
that would eventually threaten the
liberty of us all,"

Student Ambassador Recounts Summer in Modern Japan
by Elizabeth Honnett Webre
It Is almost an Impossibility to
try to write anything really meaningful about Japan In one page; it
Is impossible for me to express In
such a short space the significance
and meaning of my experience in
Japan. There are too many things
to say and much too much of what
I saw and did is inexpressible in
any terms. The Japan of today is
a country of contraries, of anachronisms, of romance and of procitanal realities.
In relating to you something meaningful about Japan, I will try to let
Japan speai; for Itself. Necessarily
some of thii> will have to be commented.
I will Introduce to you Japan as
I was Introduced, by a letter from
a young college student.

" I felt relieved to know that you
wanted to know true Japan. In everything it is difficult to know truth.
In present, Japan is misunderstood
by many people. Especially European people, many of them do not
know present Japan, but Japan of
sixty years ago. From now on the
world will be smaller and smaller.
So It is very important for you to
know the true Japanese lives,"
And knowing truth proved more
difficult then is conceivable. We
were asked to visit many schools
to talk with the students. The students proved painfully shy, and at
the same time unbearably eager to
talk to "Americans." (That word
said with an awesome and worshipping tone by students.) The first
question I was asked was, "Is Patty
Duke real life in America." (For
those uneducated in the realms of
television Patty Duke is a situation
comedy, etc.) Never having seen
Pattle Duke, I could only assume
it to be comparable to the same
species of shows I knew, I asked
"Are the samurai (Japanese cowboy) really Japan." There was a
tremendous outburst of laughter,
and then some comprehending faces.
Please, Foreigners
Perhaps more than anywhere else
it Is hard to really know what Is
Japan. The Japanese are extremely
concerned with phasing foreigners
and this may result in completely
false conceptions on our part. Time
and again we faced the problem of
face-saving. For example the Japanese never partake of liquid with
meals. One day in a restaurant

"It was the finest year of my life," said Dr. Paul Bruce Pettit, chairman of
Speech and Dramatic Art, when looking back on the '63-»64 academic year that
he spent as producer-director of the Greek-Cypriot National Theatre in Nicosia,
Cyprus and related travels in eastern Europe and Western Asia.
Dr. Pettit departed for Cyprus in September, 1963 with his family to assume his
position which was received through the auspices of the Fulbright grant program at
t h e p r o p o s a l Of t h e U n i t e d
States Department of State.
According to Dr. Pettit,
Nicosia is a true Renaiss a n c e town. About 40,000
people reside there and almost half
of the population lives in the old
city which Is one mile in diameter.
This area Is surrounded by a fifteenth century Venetian wall.

sight, and reminded myself to
brighten my sense of awareness.
This often became ridiculous, as
we would try to follow their order
in eating and they would wait for us
to begin. But somehow we managed
to learn by making friends with
Japanese of whom we could ask
confidential and forthright questions. Our only source of sure
knowledge was friends who usually
had had a great deal of contact
with Westerners or Had been to
America, and consequently were
our only source of sure knowledge.
Psychologies Differ
Japanese and America psycholgies are poles apart and one only
comes to realize this after discussion. For ostensibly Japan is Westernized to a large extent. No,
Westernized Is the wrong word,
industrialized Is more correct. So
often we equated industrialized and
.modernized with Westernization,
Perhaps the Japanese language
could stand as a metaphor for the
whole of Japanese life. The language is such that one cannot ask
a direct question. All tilings are too
subtle, Illusive, and complicated
to be answered forthrightly. There
are no direct answers. Yet Japan
is dealing now with things areant
that sixty, even thirty years ago.
The basics of the language, as
of the society, remain unchanged,
but they both adopt In toto foreign
elements. The young people still
prefer arranged marriages, but
there is an aura of the "romantic"
involved. The girls go to college,
but still prefer to become wives
and mothers; there is practically
no professional women's class
He spent the first few months in
Nicosia making plans for the first
production of the theatre. The play
selected was Thornton Wilder's
"The Match Maker."
The problems encountered in producing this play in Greek were
unique. The play opened on January
4, however hostilities between the
Greeks and the Turks broke out
December 20, 1963.
By December 24, the fighting
reached a peak. Christmas eve over
f wo hundred people were killed onenialf mile from Dr. Pettlt's apartment.
On Christmas Day Turkish jets
buzzed the city while an invasion
fleet was poised for action only
fourteen miles away.
Modern Dramatic Century
There are modern street cars,
buses, subways, trains and these
provided a stage for one of the
most dramatic centuries we found.
The people in public vehicles
shoved and pushed unconcernedly
and unmercifully; they were, by
our standards extremely rude. Yet
in the homes we experienced unbelievable degrees ofthoughfulness,
politness and hospitality. The only
answers seemed to lie in Ihe fact
that Japan has such a tradition
bound auburn. In the Japan of sixty
years ago there were no provisions
for conduct on public facilities,
hence anything goes today.
Yet somehow in spite of the surface characteristics of Japanese
society, I came away feeling that
Japanese and Americans arp essentially alike. The Japanese are
experiencing tremendous cultural,
economic, and social changes; we
share many of Japan's problems.
One of the things I learned involved an incident in the bath. We
were told not put cold water in Ihe
tub, because many people must soak

Amid this turmoil plans for "The
Match Maker" progressed and in
the midst of alimbo between "Heaven and Hell" the play opened in
January for a month's run at Ihe
"Othak," the Greek-Cypriot National Theatre.
"The opening night was one I'll

Friday to see Barry Goldwater and hear him speak.
I was one of those who had listened to him complain
of being misinterpreted and quoted out of context and
felt it was necessary to hear one of his speeches in
Its entirety before deciding on a position, pro or con
or whatever, relative to Barry Goldwater. It was my
opinion that Goldwater and/or his supporters had made
such a (big deal)(federalcase)outof his stratght-talkshot-from-the-hlp that his speeches and positions had
been analyzed much more closely than those of his
opponents, and there resulted a conscious effort to
make him appear to be The World'siast Double-Talking Politician by pointing out or even highlighting
every one of his inconsistencies or contradictions no
matter how minor or trivial.
I worked my way to a position directly in front of
the speaker's platform and found that a statute of
George Washington was between myself and where
Goldwater would be standing. Some may argue about
whether you would have to go to the left or right of
George Washington to get to Barry Goldwater. I
moved to George's right, but only because it afforded
a better view.
It started to rain more heavily, and some
, girls from Schenectady began singing "The Battle
! Hymn of the Republic" and it was like the end of
) "Young Mister Lincoln" or the theatre presentation
j at the Illinois Pavllio, whichever is worse.
The emcee came back to announce, "The police
have just informed me that Barry Goldwater is two
blocks away," and having been slightly repulsed by
what I'd seen thus far, I was alittle too quick to
equate Barry with the ballyhoo and I prematurely
directed my terribly omnipotent venom at Barry
by clearly muttering, "Isn't he always?" The gathering was instructed to give Goldwater an "Albany
welcome." An Albany welcome is, in itself, not too
satisfying. Albanians have been known to go wild
for Trlni Lopez.
Goldwater was Introduced by Governor Rockefeller
and the crowd- laughed at the governor's silly anecdotes about the Presidential candidate, recognizing
them as blatant triviality.
Rockefeller gave a beautiful Illustration of Atwell's First Law of the Relationship of Essences,
which reads, "If you say something and then contradict yourself more than sixty words and/or thirty
seconds later, hardly anybody will notice." First
Rocky says that he likes Goldwater because Goldwater stands for basic Republican values. Then a
few words about fiscal Integrity, government closest
to the people, and the Judeo-Chrlstian ethic (none of
which have to do with Republican vs. Democrat, as
it was Implied they did), and then a restatement of
his liking of Goldwater even though they share differences of opinion on basic issues. If the Issues
he had In mind are truly fundamental, they don't
share those basic Republican values in the first

place.
< Almost all of Goldwater's speech was negatively
oriented. He spent a good deal of time slinging mud
at Bobby Kennedy, "Lyndon's reject" who is "running on the commuter ticket" and who,Is supported
by those who would have you "vote for the stranger
of your choice.'; He stated, "v/e get elected by those
Democrats who aren't too happy with what's going
on." He hit the Bobby Baker scandal and Introduced
a new measurement — Baker's dozen. "You get
thirteen, but you have to kick back two." He approached the sublimely ridiculous by saying that
Johnson Isn't for freedom because he didn't mention
freedom in his acceptance speech. Before anybody
gets the wrong idea, let me state, here and now that
I am pro nylon guitar strings and stuffing. And when
Goldwater says we must win the fight for freedom
at all costs and must also prevent war at all costs,
you begin to wonder. And when he says we must
stop all this appeasement, but then says the Republicans will keep the peace as they kept the peace
for eight years under Elsenhower, who was himself
accused of appeasement, you try to break the statement down and ask does he mean simply that they'll
keep the peace, or that they'll keep the peace in the
way Eisenhower kept it, or Is he merely invoking
the Elsenhower name now that it's been almost four
years since Elsenhower held office, and people don't
remember anything about Ike except that we weren't
at. war when he held office. And you wonder how
deeply does a man think who says, "The only threat
to peace In today's world Is communism." And you
second-think and wonder what sort of person do you
want in the White House, and do you have to conclude
that there is simply no one In politics who meets the
requirements. You ask yourself why doesn't a fairminded and honest Intellectual ever make tt in politics, and you don't know the answer, but the question
indicates you're feeling about as low as you can about
it because it's such an overworked phrase that only
desperation could have driven you to think in exactly
those words.
Goldwater ended his speech by asking those present
to help him and Bill Miller become President and
Vice President, "so we can help you." Howposltlvely
positive. The crowd dispersed to "Off we go into the
wild blue yonder..." which was exactly where I was
at that point, trying to collect mythoughts.lt had been
a bad scene, and I ranked it about equal with Hubert
Humphrey's "temporary Republican spokesman" bit.
I climbed up and took a pair of Barry glasses off of
George Washington. They've given me an idea. If
Barry's boys ever get desperate for a new campaign
Idea they can try this. They can spend a few days and
nights putting Barry glasses on and taking Barry
glasses off of all the statues of George Washington
that they can find, and then sell each pair at a redblooded-American-rldden-ninety-nine cents, loudly
proclaiming, "George Washington wore these." It
just could catch on.

The Secret9
by Robert Judd
The "New York Times" several
weeks ago reported the trials, tribulations, and final successes of James
Drought, a young writer whose first
two novels were rejected by a total
of forty publishers. Undaunted in defeat, and still quite confident In his
work, Drought retired to Connecticut
where lie published the novels himself.
Packing his books on an old truck,
Drought drove around the country
from college lo college, hustling
books to students, teachers, and
campus bookstores.
Lasl week,
Avon finally broke down and brought
out a paperback edition of one of
his novels, The Secret.
Worst American Novel
Needless lo say, the first forty
publishers weren't wroung. One reviewer called the book "scruffy,"
and that comes close to summing it
up.
If such a thing is possible,
"Tiie Secret" ranks far beiow"The
Doer Park" as Ihe worst American
novel of our time.
A useful measure for Judging
books is to ask whether the various
elements work individually and in a
unified whole. A reviewer may not
like a character or a theme or a plot,
but if the element works In conjunction with the rest of the novel, then
the book Itself is not a failure.
"The Secret" is a failure. The
episodic chapters form no stable
plot; characters are introduced for
no reason, disappear, and are never
reintroduced. Settings seem haphazard; and the entirebookpresents
us with a series of incongruities on
all levels, In all phases.
the author deserves. We read one
novel, and we think another.
Drought is reminiscent of both
Norman Mailer and Jack Kerouac,
but he has none of the former's
unique way with ideas, nor the
latter's brilliant use of phrase. He
falls short of t w e n t y different
writers in twenty different ways.
Tedium Ad Nauseam
The tediousness of the elements
is not alleviated by the "messages"
found in each chapter.

I find it hard to believe that a mature man is capable of couching such
a thought in such a sentence. Anything which might be vital in this

by a lack of control and discipline.

Disconcerting
Sincerity
The one disconcerting thing about
the book is lis sincerity. A bad
novel is often as hard to write as
a good novel; just as much time and
patience, sweat and hope, go into
poor writing as well as good.
Drought seems sincere in Ids work,
but sincerity like patriotism, Is not
enough. Out of ten thousand people
who experience love or fear, hate
or beauty, only one or two are
capable of communicating t h e i r
emotions with any original Insight.

The lynne Line OR Sports
by Harold Lynn*
If Tom Robinson wins the LeMoyne Invitational
Meet tomorrow, he will have accomplished one of the
most outstanding athletic feats in this school's history.
Robinson has won this fifteen-team meet the past two
years, setting a new record the first year and breaking
his own record last year.
It is very unusual for a cross-country meet such as
LeMoyne, which annually has many of the state's finest
runners participating, to be dominated by the same person for more than one year. But, Tom Robinson is certainly not a usual runner.
Since cross-country's inception at State two years
ago, the team has competed in fourteen dual meets and
two triangular meets; Robinson has won every one of
these meets. Cross-country Coach Keith Munsey explains Robinson's fantastic success in this way: "The.
red-head is a very smart runner and he just doesn't
like to lose."
Coach Munsey feels Robinson is the man that the,
other runners will have to beat on Saturday. "There
are a lot of very strong runners competing Saturday,
but Tom has won this race twice and they all realize
that they will have to run a whale of a race to finish
ahead of the red-head," Coach Munsey said.
Led by Robinson's first place last year at LeMoyne
and John Clark's seventh place State finished third in
the overall team competition. This year, with Dennis
Tuttle, Bob Flick, Ed Brown, Ken Darmer, and Jake
Johnville, in addition to Robinson and Clark, the team
has a good chance to repeat its third place and an
outside chance to take first place honors.

Clark, who finished fourth in this
meet last year, improved his time
by twenty seconds but dropped one
slot in the individual placing.
