The bill Is the first of the Democrats' major measures to pass the

It was reported that upstate Democrats were particularly reluctant

1963 Power Oront
A Republican-controlled legislature had given power In 1963 to
both the New York City Board of
Higher Education and the Board of
Trustees of the State University of
New York to charge tuition at their
respective institutions.
The Stat* University trustees imposed a $400 tuition charge in September, 1963. The City has not exercised Its power as yet.
City University students have
waged a continuing battle to have
the Legislature mandate free tuition.
During the elections last Fall, they
campaigned for pro-free tuition candidates and against anti-free tuition
candidates.
On Monday, large delegations of
students roamed through the Capitol

Dr. Mulkerne spoke on "Office Systems and Office Administration."
In his speech, Dr. Mulkerne said
that the "greatest waste Is a person who does his duties without any

Dr. Mulkerne recommended a
system In order to prevent this.
He warned that for a system to
be effective It must be dynamic In
every department of a company.
He commented that "the chief fault
of systems Is stalling."
Dr. Mulkerne accounted for this
with the human element Involved,

Ferm represented the "ASP" and
radio station WSUA at a group discussion of the United States Government policy in Vietnam. Students
from both Albany State and Siena
College took part in the discussion,
which was a follow-up to the protest and counter-protest marches
by State and Siena students on State
Street recently.
Philip Lord of State presented his
views opposing the government
policy and explained the point of the
protest march down State Street.
William Flglozzi and Jon Rubach
of Siena then presented their views
advocating the government policy
and explained their counter-march
down State Street.
After this general presentation of
views and ideas, the different factions were questioned by Bruce
Ferm and Irving Stephens of the
"Siena News." In general, this discussion amounted to a presentation
of pro and con views on the government policy with neither side making a truly convincing presentation
of its views.

within the classroom and without."
She cited as an example a professor who stood on the steps of
one of the University's buildings

a girl within the week.
The newspaper asserted that the
Dean knew of several cases In
which professors had seduced students. She said that one of the girls

Profs Having Grading Pow.r
The article attributed to the Dean
this comment: "professors exercise control over the girls by virtue of their grading power; and they
intimidate a girl who will not comply with their wishes."
The story also accredited to Allen
the remarks that the course content

"They concentrate deliberately
on the erotic aspects of literature,
in part because those who are unmarried use literature as their

He added that the controversy
arose not because of whatever extracurricular activities may or may

A Joint committee composed of students, faculty,

by the State University Bookstore which Is offering a

The members of the committee are Karen Bock,
chairman, Marlum Tashjlan, Udo Guddat, Joe Blackman Rlck'Genero, Fred Rawe, BUI Bate, StanKerpel,
Frank Krlvo, Mrs. Genevieve Moore, BobBurlingame,
and Robert Bell.
The group represents seven facets of University
life: student body, Senate, Athletic Advisory Board,
Alumni Association, faculty, MYSKANIA, and the administration.
The contest is scheduled to begin this week and win
end Friday, April 2. Rules and regulations and entry
blanks will be distributed in the Peristyles.
Miss Bock stated that the committee feels that there
is a need to change the mascot and nickname because
"Peds" and "Pedguin" do not apply to our changing
University and that the best way to find appropriate
new ones is to encourage suggestions from members
of the University community."
The committee was formed in December as the
result of a decision of the Athletic Advisory Board to
Investigate changes in school tradition in athletics.
It was originally composed of members of Senate and
the AA Board, but was altered to Include members
from other organizations on campus.
Their first task was to research the history of tlie

eeger Comments On QueStlOllS at Interview; Requiem for a Free Community
Topics Range from Controversy to Freedom
by Dobby Friedman
.1:00
"Music is better,than
words" said Pete Seeger,
when he was asked if he
found that music crosses
language barriers. Seeger
was interviewed after his
concert here last week by
several students.
He gave his answers tnd opinions
on the numerous questions that were
posed by Gerry Terdlman who represented radio station WFLY (92.3
on the FM dial) where he hosts
"The World of Folk Music" from
4-5 p.m. on Saturdays, Tim Atwell,
and this writer.

Age Change No Solution
A topic much in the news this past week
has been the pressure on the New York
State Legislature to increase the legal
drinking age from the present 18 to 21
years. Governor Rockefeller has indicated that he would sign such a measure
if enacted by both Houses, but at the
same time commented "that such a law
would not solve the serious problems
that concern all of us."
"But because so many people feel so
strongly and it is bound to have beneficial effects — although I think some
people overestimate some of them —
I will sign it."
We for once agree with the good Governor. Changing the legal age would not
solve the "problem."
To begin with, the aura surrounding
all alcoholic beverages creates a natural
attractiveness for their indulgence. To
raise the drinking age would only increase further the allure of "the drink."
To this would be added the further
appeal of defying authority, and, at the
same time, gaining membership to the
"in group."
From our point of view, the 18 yearold is fully capable of wise conduct in
regard to alcohol. The lack of maturity
on the part of some individuals should
not color the case of the vast majority, who do not become the "problems."
One of the greatest reasons for the
move in New York State to increase the
legal age has been the pressure by
neighboring states, whose teenagers continually cross the border to obtain liquor.
These minors serve to spotlight a situation which is characteristically concerned with the few rather than the many.
We do not feel that New York State
should be pressured into accepting such
an unreal "solution."
Judging from the situation on this
campus, we can find no Justification
for such a measure. Too much of a
college population that is now able to
adequately handle alcohol would be unfairly and adversely affected by the proposed age change.
We strongly recommend that New York
find waysof dealing with individual cases,
rather than penalizing the entire group.
The Big PDA Problem
Controversy and College
During the concert he said, "If
I have said anything controversial
tonight, I hope it i s . " This seemed
to express part of his attitude to
stir people to think and emerge
from the complacency that is all
too prevalent In modern society.
'It's easier to keep our mouths
shut... and mind our own business,"
sang Seeger.
The big PDA problem is again upon us.
By this we mean, of course, that roguish,
illicit pastime, Public Display of Affection. Long the bane of existence in the

Life "Machine Run"
One of the songs that Seeger sang
told that for "everything there Is a
time/' He later commented that
"so much of our life Is now machine run - almost everything will
be done by mechanical devices. All
we have to do is pay."
However, "a healthy musical state
allows people to make their own
music, though you need professional
experts also."
Last year Seeger traveled around
the world and had an opportunity to
observe various cultures. He sang
of these varied cultures and said
"Vive la difference." In the world's
veritable melting pot of cultures,
he said "we are all cousins, but
everyone will always be somewhat
different. Thank the Lord for these
differences."
He was asked what he thought o.
the riots at Berkeley and of the
free speech movement. To this he
responded that he probably knew
about as much as we did, but said
"In the last five years, more searching questions have been asked of me
by college students."
"College is a place for controversy. You can't have education
without It and the experience of
asking questions."
Seeger "sang out the love" as
he emotionally sang "If I Had a
Hammer," a song that he wrote
about • fifteen years ago. He prefaced his remarks on this song
by quoting Lincoln on freedom, "if
I go to a wolf and say don't eat my
sheep, I have inhibited the wolf's
.freedom."

A young man who has traveled

a large metropolitan community.
This large community held Jurisdiction over several smaller communlties so that all legislation was

Mayor Stonehenge, ruler of the

said that he wished every citizen to
have the opportunity to reside In

Proposals Acclaimed
His proposals were greeted with
loud acclaim. Great taxes might
have Inhibited the ability of the
citizens to remain in the community. The fact that an honorable man
had promised a residency free of
taxes could only be the most wontierful news.
I The citizens, happily partaking of
the bountlous benefits of the community, lived in tranquility for many
years.
Then, one day, catastrophe struck.
A utilities tax of outlandish proportions was imposed upon the community. Realizing the obvious burden
to current residents and especially
to prospective citizens, the populace
decried the ignominious action.
They picketed City Hall; they
wrote angry letters to protest to
the municipal newspaper. But their
efforts were in vain. The tax remained,

The Story...
.-
LEE LISS
to direct Revue again.
At a recent meeting of the Revue Committee, the
plans for this year's State University Revue, "Damn
Yankees," were formalized. This year's Revue will be
presented on May 21 and 22 in Page Hall. The Revue
Is completely financed and operated by students with
the assistance of Student Association.
Auditions for the Revue will be held on March 30
and 31 and April 1 in Page Hall. Persons who have
previously auditioned are urged to attend the tryouts
again, and chey will be contacted by letter in the near
future.
As in the past two years, the Revue will be directed
by Lee Liss, '65. Miss Liss is remembered for her past
productions of "Annie Get Your Gun" and "Once Upon
A Mattress." Both productions were excellently received.
"With the rapidly expanding student population, we
know that this year's Revue will be the finest ever,"
said Miss Liss recently. "Not only have more people
expressed interest in working on the Revue, but we
also have a potentially larger audience."
Although some members of the Revue Committee have
been selected, there are still many positionstobe filled
on the staff and crew. Persons interested in any phase
of the Revue should contact Miss Liss at 482-4244.
AflTS at t h e B o o k m a k e r s
"Damn Yankees" which Is based
on Douglass Wallop's Book-of-thoMonth Selection, "The Year the
Yankees Lost" the Pennant," tells the
story ofaplumpand balding, middleaged real-estate salesman in Wash*
ington, D. C. who Is an avid fan of
the Washington Senators.
In a rash moment he murmurs that
he'd "sell his soul to see the Washington Senators win the pennant from
the damn Yankees."
The Devil
At this moment the Devil appears,
in the guise of a personable gentle*
man called Mr. Applegate, who offers to make a pact with him: in return for his soul he will transform
him into a young and unbeatable
ballplayer.
The real estate agent agrees but
insists on an "escape clause"
whereby at a certain date he will be
restored to his former self to rejoin his wife and live out his years
normally. The Devil agrees.
The phenomenal young player, now
known as Joe Hardy, joins the Senators, and the team moves right up
to second place in the American
League.
But Applegate has other plans.
He Is secretly on the side of the
Yankees and is plotting to whet
the hopes of the Senators and then
to wrest the victory away from
them at the final hour.
When young Hardy learns this,
he asks to exercise his option and
to be returned to his former status
at the side of his faithful wife.
One distinguishing characteristic
of some of the members of our culture Is that they wish to have the
power to determine just what reading materials should be available
not just for themselves, but for the
other members of the society as
well. There are, of course, psychological motivations prompting the
censors, but this problem will be
attacked from a moral standpoint.
Our country was founded, and Is
supposed to operate, on the basis
of individualism. Translated into
literary terms, this means that it
•is up to the individual to select
what he chooses to read.
Antithesis to Learning
Censorship is an antithesis to
the advancement of learning. TQ
borrow one of Milton's ideas, censorship implies that a people need
no more truths (for truths may
be included in the censored material).
There is also the problem of
rampant censorship. By this I mean
who will be the one responsible for
deciding where censorship stops

some people, worthless for others

Moral Restraint
As a church-going, religious person, a reader has some choice. He
can follow the dictates of his church
or he can select his literary fare

choise is his; the only restraint is
a moral, not a physical one.

A RayView of Sports
by Ray McCleat
It would not be proper to brush off the past basketball
season without officially congratulating the Peds on a
truly outstanding year. The cagers gave State fans a lot
to be proud of, and did it in an admirable way.
Before citing individual players, let's look at the
season as a whole. The high point of the year was the
record-breaking winning streak, climaxed by an almost
unbelievable comeback win over powerful Plattsburgh.
The low point was the team's losses to the University
of Buffalo and Ithaca College, thus eliminating the
Staters from any chance for a post-season tournament
bid.
The team averaged 68.5 points per game, and allowed
61.6 to the opposition. Coach Sauers called the 196465 Peds "offensively, the best team I've ever had."
The " s i x " starters — Dick Crossett, Dan and Bob
Zeh, Jim O'Donovan, Mike Bloom, and Ray Weeks —
are a talented and dedicated group of players who have,
collectively, given 17 years of basketball-playing to
State.
Dick Crossett led the team in scoring (17.8) and was
third in the nation among small colleges in shooting
percentage (.660). Coach Sauers called Crossett the
" b e s t player I have ever coached."
Dan Zeh led the team in rebounding (205) and averaged 11.8 points per game. Dan set a Capital City
Tournament scoring record in a game with Marist
College, hitting for 38 points.
Jim O'Donovan was second on the team in rebounding
(201) and was also second in scoring (15.6). Jim was
the team's most consistent scorer throughout the season.
Bob Zeh and Ray Weeks teamed up in the first half
of the year to give State a formidable backcourt duo.
Weeks singlehandedly downed Cortland, hitting for 21
points in Albany's 69-68 victory. Zeh was the Ped
playmaker, averaging only 6,1 per game, but contributed many more with his timely assists.
Soph Mike Bloom took over Weeks' spot after intersession, and has averaged better than seven points
per game thereafter. Mike, too, was a valuable asset
a s a playmaker.
To Coach Sauers and Peds — our sincere congratulations.

possible. Just before she leaves

orientation program. Then, she will
