mdh^dNighi/ Bergman's Film,
Shows Growth of Cinema Master

A week and a half ago the International Film Group presented a
• good example of early Ingmar Bergman in a film titled "The Naked
Night," otherwise known as "Sawdust arid Tinsel,"
The real beauty of this film is
not readily apparent. It Is not a
particularly engrossing or noteworthy work, and Is surely not a
masterpiece of cinema art.

Yet the film is an Important one
if for no other reason than that It
allows us a glimpse of Bergman as
an evolving film artist. It allows us a
splendid opportunity to see that fluid
style, mastery of the camera and
ingenious power of creating mood
that have made Bergman one of the
most- highly lauded directors in the
history of film,
In f The Naked Night" Mr. Bergman explores the passions of a
travelling circus group, particularly
the relationship of the middle-aged

Angry Whalen Book Analyzes
New York Destroying Itself
by Dr. Ivan Steen
1
"A City Destroying Itself: An Angry View of New York." By Richard J.
Whalen. Illustrations by Fellks Topolski. (New York: William Morrow
& Co., 1905. 127 pages. $3.50.)
The wrecker's ball swings at Pennsylvania Station; a transit strike
paralyzes the city; a labor dispute Interrupts newspaper publication; a
record budget Is submitted; the sales tax rises again; the city's credit
rating Is downgraded. Events such as these call attention to the plight of
New York City. Books and articles dealing with New York's many problems appear regularly. Richard J. Whalen, In "A City Destroying Itself:
An Angry View of New York," adds his voice to the outcry against some
facets of New York life which are making the Empire City a less desirable place-In which to live. Indeed, Whalen, a associate editor of " F o r tune" and author of "The Founding Father: The Story of Joseph P. Kennedy,1 1 although a New Yorker by birth, chooses to live on Long Island.
The things that make Whalen angry produce the same results in
others familiar with New York. Crime, air pollution, traffic congestion,
pedestrian architecture, destruction of notable landmarks, slums, and
urban politics are among the aspects of New York that evoke his anger.
The various drawbacks of life in New York have produced a middle-class
move to the suburbs and are resulting In an abandonment of the city to
the rich and the poor. Whalen thus envlsons the ultimate social and economic destruction of New York, Yet few people really seem to care.
Certainly not the politicians, who are more concerned with holding
power than using It in the public interest. Certainly not the businessmen,
--,
who enjoy the economic advantages of the nations leading city but who
rarely take an active part in advancing Its welfare. Certainly not the
middle class, who turn their backs on the city by fleeing to the suburbs.
Whalen points out several paradoxes on the New York scene. For
example, the city has a Department of Air Pollution Control, but It also
operates " a fleet of 4,200 poorly maintained buses," which spew forth
filth into the air. The automobile is not only a major contributor to this
foul air, but also makes life exceedingly uncomfortable for city dwellers
In many other ways. Yet municipal parking garages are proposed for
mid-town Manhattan which would lure even more automobiles into the
city. Not very long ago New York spent millions of dollars tearing down
elevated railways, but now the construction of an elevated highway
across Manhattan is proposed. Most new buildings In New York are devoid of any architectural distinction; but why erect a handsome building
when this results in a higher real estate tax?
While few elements of beauty are added to New York, much of what it
already has Is destroyed. Thus, the magnificent Pennsylvania Station
tumbles to the ground to lie replaced by a new Madison Square Garden
which will be combined with a thirty-three-story office building. While
Whalen laments the demise of this terminal, he dogmatically states that
it could not "honestly be called a great work (if architecture." There
are many (this reviewer Included) who would dispute that statement.
Yet Whalen agrees that Penn Station provided an appropriate entry to
a great city. Future travelers, Whalen points out, "will enter through
what amounts to a subway station,"
The spoliators even have cast their eyes upon Central Park. Huntington Hartford lias offered to pay lor the construction of an outdoor restaurant on the southeast corner of that park. This is a case of a nice
idea being proposed for the worst possible location. Whalen is unhappy
about the propsect of ruining this corner of the park, and suggests the
southwest corner instead, which he claims "badly needs a pavilion where
people might stroll or rest." Here, Whalen misses the whole point. The
very essence of Frederick Law Olmsted's original plan for the park was
that this greenery In the midst of the city never would be encroached
upon, Even the construction in the park of a seemingly worthwhile project would create a precedent which could result in the ultimate destruction of Olmsted's creation.
Clearly, Richard Whalen has brought Into focus many of New York's
problems. Yet others have done so before him. Whalen presents no
original Ideas and really offers no solutions. The book has several fine
sketches of scenes around New York, but these seem to have little relation to the text. Subtracting the number of pages taken up by the illustrations, this emerges as a rather thin book.

The play, written for an audience

Mr. Rigley is played by Bruce

MARCH 25, 1966
A petition on the wall of the Draper
lunch room known as the Cave cries
out', "Save the Cave; Give.us back our
cruddy old tables." The protest is
due to the recent removal of the
Cave's traditional battered round
tables and the substitution of square,
formica topped ones.
The cave is traditionally a center
of intellectual activity and a haven
for many of the writers on campus.
Its reputation is probably due In part
to the Influence of Bob Judd, Bob
Korosaka, and others about six years
ago.
It was at this time that "suppression" was first published by a group
of people who frequented the Cave.
Judd, along with Tonl Mester, was
influential in stirring up a lut of
intellectual controversy at the time.
The General Cavlte reaction to
this renovation was one of general
alarm that the tradition of the Cave
would be violated. Many Cavites objected to the stereotyping of the
Cave and felt that it would " e n courage tourists,"
Harold Noakes, editor of the
'Thursday" stated, " I believe the
change from round to square tables
In the area designated as the Cave
Is a less subtle attempt on the part
of the 'squares' themselves to cement the more free thinking troglodytes to their unthinking faith to
the Square and proletariat ethic.
J. Roger Lee, former editor of
"Banner" feels that this "antiseptic cleanliness is going to blow the
image of a lut of the people around
here the image was not that distasteful."
"As a matter of fact It was quite
favorable as the center of what
Intellectual creativity there was."
Douglas Upltam of Central Council feels that although the new tables
may be an improvement over the
others, the fact that seating space
had been reduced by about six tables
presents a drawback.
An interview with Mr. Brewer,
head of the Faculty Student Association, concerning the reasons for
the change of tables produced a
surprising result.
Mr. Brewer explained that the
cafete'rla management had decided
to clean up the Conference Room
which is presently used by both
students and Milne seniors. The
plan was then extended to cover the
Milne Cafeteria also.
It was apparently without any
malicious intent that the men working on the cafeterias decided to put
the better of the old Milne School
tables in the Cave, thus replacing
the older ones In the Cave.
Mr. Brewer said, on Tuesday,
March 22, that "the cafeteria management would be glad to discuss
any deep loss resulting from this
change, and we will be glad to discuss a bettering of the situation,"
A more violent reaction to the
situation took place on Wednesday,
March 23, when a group of Cavites
painted the Cave wall in protest.
Mr. Brewer visited the Cave later
In the day but declined to comment
on the situation.

If Winter comes, can Sprlngbe far behind? P. B. Shelley
Spring is a state of mind.
When the seasons shift and the drifts pass into beads
of sweat; when the park laughs with the echoes of
dreaming students and sweltering apartment dwellers;
when the coats are shorts and the boots are sandals
the mind takes a turn toward delight and imagination.
Spring comes to Albany with a suddenness which
salutes the newly bare and always dirty streets with a
clear and refreshing view of our reality — leaving us
with an awareness that spring, though It has been before, will never be the same again,
Perhaps it is only the awakening of the conscious

to realize that each of us is unique—and for each of us
Spring must always be an experience of the mind,
unique unto itself.

This transition is taking place through physicul and

Student Reaction Solicited
To Improvements at Dippikill
S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y B A N D : Under the direction of Mr. William Hudson, the University Band rehearses
twice weekly in Richardson. In recent years, the band has "grown u p " to an organized group of maturing musicians.
Band Presents Program At Oneonta;
Members Pleased With Experience
At 2:00 p.m. on March 11, the
University Band started, on Its way
to Oneonta. Two luxurious buses
were provided for this trip. (I suppose the buses were to be so comfortable and relaxing so a s to comfort and relax the nerves of the
players).
We were lucky that the weather
was pleasant, making the ride to
Oneonta quite delightful. Each bus
had an |'Intourlst" guide (definition: .person from Oneonta area) t c
provide a first-hand description of
the sights leading to and In Oneonta.
Arrival at Oneonta
When we arrived in Oneonta, we
had a brief tour of the city and the
two campuses of the College. We
finally disembarked from the buses
at "Old Main," the auditorium where
we were to perform that night.
Following a musicians "lot" we
realized that we should have a
warm-up period as a Band to be-
come acquainted with this new auditorium. Under Mr. Hudson's direction we proceeded to do so.
Then, we ate a "dorm" meal at
the Oneonta College cafeteria, The
cafeteria set-up and meal was s i m ilar to that of the Dutch Quad cafeteria. One exception, however, Is
that the cafeteria at Oneonta does
not seat as many people a s ours
does.
As we enjoyed our meal, we were
able to meet, with, some students
from Oneonta, and so therefore, we
learned of some of the aspects of
that College.
Tour of Campus
The Band members then had some
free time to tour the campus taking
particular note of the new library
facilities, new dorm complexes, and
delightful views of the town front
the hill of the campus.
Concert time was 8:15. At this
time, we presented to the people of
Oneonta a very satisfactory concert,
As we left the concert hall, many
of us heard very favorable comments of the concert. I believe that
The selections presented included
"Oh Freedom I" by Joe Chadabe of
the faculty here at SUMYA. This is
a collection of civil.rights songs
arranged in a modern medium. Vincent Perslchettl's "Psalm for
Band" and BUik's "American Civil
War Fantasy" were parts of the
program.
Satisfaction and Prospects
The excitement and tension on
t the part of the members of the Band
came to a lull as we proceeded to
mount the relaxful buses for Albany.
'We felt that we had done a "good
Job."
The band knew also that this trip
had opened a new door, a door that
would lead to more touring trips
where we would be able to provide
an enjoyable musical evening for
our new audiences.
Four University Students Chosen
To Submit Biological Papers
by Mark Cunningham
Four students, representing the
Biology Club and SUNYA, have been
selected to give papers on their
biological research at the Eastern
College Science Conference In
Washington, D.C. from March 31Aprll 3,
These four are part of eleven
students representing State and Its
science departments at the Conference. The District of Columbia
Teachers' College in Washington
is host for the Conference,
It sponsors many field trips to
such places as Camp Dlpplklll and
to Rhode Island, where the members studied marine biology. At
these outings "everybody sticks his
nose Into nature" to gain a common
sense Insight into the life around
them.
Various Actlvltios
<
The Bio Club also sponsors lectures with faculty, undergraduates,
and grad students as lecturers on
topics of original research done here
at Albany. The Club has participated
with the Biology departments of St,
Hose and Union In various activities.
Among these was attendance at an
operation at Albany Medical Center
and a lecture by Sister Clarence of.
St. Rose on her work with cancer
research.
In these activities, which enable
a person Interested In biology to
find out more about the "common
s e n s e " side of nature and of biology, the Biology Club hopes to IK
of service to the student, the University, and the realm of science.
Original Rosearch
Tho papers are a result of at
loast a semester's research done by
the .students themselves. They will
be presented In twenty minute l e c tures and followed by a ton minute
discussion period, The students
wore selected by the science department here,
Their papers deal with such topics
as "Tho Ecological Implications R e lating to the Effects of DDT on tho
Morpholoby and Physiology of Phytoinastiuophorlans." students representing rilo Club Include John

We feel "that the situation, thus far,

committee is figuring on only 75% of the
student body paying their tax next s e mester, 11% less than this semester.
The budget committee has already cut
unnecessarV items out of every organi-'

$11,000 more has to be slashed from
budgets
If more than the expected income of
$100,000 i s received, then the extra
money has to be reallocated to organizations. This i s not a workable a r rangement
In order for student government and
Student Association organizations to operate effectively, student tax has to be
made compulsory
Programs of quality cannot be planned
by organizations unless they know how
much money they will have to work with,
and this can only be accomplished if
student tax is compulsory.

Granville Hicks' autobiography Is a lucid, honest, and orderly book by
a distinguished critic and a leader in the American " ' « » ' W e o? socUl
criticism that grew up In the 1930's. It charts his Intellectual ,pUptiuwe,
through a transgression into Communism, to the position of ''critical
liberalism" that satisfies both his reason and social conscience, and it
tells the story of the life he has made for himself in the small town of
Grafton, 15.-ml.es east of Troy. As a record of a life, t Is Valuable; as
an explanation, it Is disappointing, for it is quite literally only " P a r t of
the Truth,"
Partly because^!* determined not " t o injure others," he says less
than he might of-Wlter-friends who Went through similar pilgrimages,
although he does provide glimpses of many writers - he has known a l most everyone from Lincoln Steffens to Saul Bellow - and more than
glimpses of close friends such as Newton Arvln, Robert Davis, Henry
Chrltman and Richard Rovere.
.
He concentrates on his own pilgrimage, which began with writing for
his Framlngham, Mass. high school paper and the Unlversalist Church's
young people's "Onward." After Harvard, he drifted into a "two-year
detour" of study for the ministry, and then found himself teaching at Smith
and casually answering " N o " when a student asked in class whether he
believed in God. One wishes he had looked more deeply into the springs of
his belief, and disbelief, and related them to his New England traditions.
The pilgrimage continued, through rather feverish and cocky protesting
and fellow traveling to joining the Communist. Party in 1935. He only
sketches the influences — the writers and friends who were moving Left,
the effects of the depression. He was teaching at RPI at the time and r e members staring out the train window between Troy and Albany at the
"Hooverville that had grown up by the tracks, wondering what life could
be like in those shacks made of packing boxes and hunks of corrugated iron
and odds and ends of cardboard and cloth." The decision to join the party,
he writes, "was much the same as my decision to become a minister: I
had gone so far that it was foolish not to go one step further." Which Is
candid, but not very revealing. Was he drawn, as he later suggests, to the
"comforting certainty" with which Marxism seemed to answer all questions? One wishes he were able to laugh more heartily at the Irony he
notes only dryly here: that at the same time he was taking the big stop to
the Left he was also becoming a property owner, of the farmhouse in
Grafton.
He was a Communist four years, and always, he suggests, something
of an innocent and always preserving a degree of Independence. That may
help explain why his later reaction has not been so reactionary as that of
some other ex-Communlsts. He got off the Communist train after the
Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939 and came to realize he had been "betrayed by
good Intentions into taking an evil position." He does not explore the meaning of that flat statement.
Recovery from this second "detour" was hard and Hicks fought It out
courageously. Apparently the strain did not tell on his nerves until a few
years ago. He thought his way to the "critical liberalism" he rather
sketchlly defines here; to a rosier view 'Of America ("I was not greatly
alarmed even by the bugaboo of conformity. Most people, it seemed to me,
were expressing themselves more freely than ever before..."); to an
agnosticism "in much more than the theological sense." He feels he has
outgrown the intolerance he was born with, the "Intolerance of the Intellectual ... the peculiarly intense intolerance of Communism."
He learned tolerance, he says, from the villages of Grafton, with whom
he worked for school centralization, a library, and a fire district. This
book achieves a remarkable integration of his small town life and his
life In the grander world of Ideas. The friends who visited his home include not only literary celebrities but also villagers, Albany newspapermen, a Roman Catholic priest with whom he argued over the Spanish Civil
War. From his hilltop home he has enlivened the culture of the Capital
District: planning radio book shows, getting embroiled ina few arguments,
teaching some housewives to write, helping organize the Capital District
Friends of SNCC. He has never set himself up as the sage of Grafton, but
prefers to think of his career as one In "literary Journalism." (This
designation may also reflect a pride in having made the literary and teaching grade — he has also taught at Harvard and NYU — without going through
the Ph.D. mill.)
He reports objectively on how he wrote "TheGreat Tradition," "John
Reed," "Small Town," his novels and other books, and his criticism for
the "New Masses," then the "New Leader," and now the "Saturday Review." He has hard second'thoughts about some of the things he has written, especially about his "hopelessly narrow" way in the 30's of judging
literature politically. But he insists he was not so dogmatic as some critics
said he was, and he straightens out the record on some nasty charges.
Perhaps it's unfair to want a man who calls himself a literary Journalist to be something of a sage, and poet, as well, to dig deeper Into the
why as well as the how of his life. He argues that no man can tell the
"whole truth" and that he has little talent for the "evocative, poetic sort
of autobiography" that can be too long and demanding of readers. He was
a tired man in his GO's when he wrote this book, and he did achieve his goal
of seeing his life "whole and... objectively." But some flashes of insight
and some burst" "f lively writing, about the Grafton countryside and about
friends, suggest he may have sold himself short and that his imagination
might have seen more of the meaning of that life.

To Retain AMIA
A Ray View of Sport*
by Ray McClmit
We attended Hie winter sports banquet the other
night, and we made some very astute observations.
The first of which, is that trainer "Spud" Kruzan can
speak for five minutes on any topic in the world. No
fooling — he got off on one tangent about a trip he and
the varsity basketball team took to Virginia by way of
Washington, and«we still aren't clear on what he was
talking about. Something about historic sites — or
something like that.
We also noted that i t ' s , the invited guests that stow
away most of the food, you'd almost think they had been
in training for months for this banquet.
But the most fruitful part of the evening was our
brief, but informative, talk with athletic director Merlin
Hathaway, concerning the surplus of athletic tax funds.
This seems to be a very controversial issue these
days of non-compulsory student tax. Why not use these
surplus funds for other student activities that are being
drastically affected by reduced budgets?
The main reason is that this surplus has been built up
through large scale frugality on the part of the athletic
department. With the expected expansion program of a
few years not far off, our athletic department, if it is
to expand as it wishes and"as everyone connected with
the department wishes; will'have to use every resource
possible to succeed.
The State University system, it is widely felt, will
be unable to assist the department as it could if the
entire system weren't undergoing such a statewide
expansion. Without funds readily available, our athletic
department will fall even further behind the rest of the
school than it is already.
For example, AMIA facilities out on the new campus
are already highly inadequate. With part of the money
from this surplus, lights could be placed on the field
for night football and Softball. This would aidthe intramural program immensely. And other things such as
scoreboards and the establishment of new teams (football, lacrosse, track) will .be virtually impossible without a substantial starting sum.
>
Alternatives? Allow the AA tax to assume intramurals, thus saving the SA tax this additional burden.
Or, perhaps,' with a mandatory student tax.
At any rate, we feel that any reduction in the size
of the athletic department's surplus would be a step
in the wrong direction in a department that is hellbent on moving the right way.
After squeaking out a 40-38 thriller on Wayne Smith's
last second jump shot last Sunday night, Potter Club
trounced Kappa Beta for the second straight night, 6 1 44, to retain its AMIA League I basketball championship.

Council Discusses Service Award,
Approves Membership in CDIC
Richard Thompson, Central Council president, introduced a proposal
to establish a service award of $100
at the Central Council meeting
Thursday night. The award would be
given to an outstanding junior or
senior, recognized for service to
the University, at graduation.
The award is to be named In honor
of Dean Ellen C. Stokes in recognition of her service to the students
and faculty of the University. According to the proposal the award
is to be judged on the application
submitted by the individual.
This method of application was
objected to by Central Council. The
proposal, therefore, is being r e written to make the form of application acceptable.
Membership in the Capital District Intercollegiate Council was
approved by Central Council. This

millions in connections with this
war."
Longtime Critic
As far back as September, 1063,
