With over thirty men out for coach Keith Munsey's
frosh team, we do not expect this lack of depth to continue for too long. But that's at least a season away.
This afternoon's game with Oswego and tomorrow's
contest with Potsdam will be a good indication of how
sorely the team's lack of depth will hurt the Danes.
Stop by the field today or tomorrow and see if we're
not right in being so pessimistic. We'll be there,
hoping we're wrong.

team opens at home today against Oswego State (3:00 p.m.) and hosts Potsdam

It has oft been said — but ne'er so well expressed—
that the first sure sign of spring is the appearance of
the neighborhood baseball game. We accept this statement with a certain amount of resignation, for while
everyone greets spring with renewed alacrity, we
sports fans can only greet the Great Dane baseball
team with greatly tempered enthusiasm.
The diamondmen begin the year with 14 men on the
squad. Twelve men is far more adequate for a basketball team that has to fill only five positions. A baseball
team should have at least three extra pitchers, a r e serve catcher, a few utility infielders, and a couple of
outfielders" who can fill in other spots as well. With a
few injuries, coach Burlingame will be scanning the
bleachers for help.
We are totally sympathetic toward the baseball team
in its effort to win even a handful of games. Every win
the team achieves is indeed a credit to the desire of
the diamondmen.
But over a season with twenty games crowded into
eight weeks, a team with only three reserves on hand
is in deep trouble right off the bat. Pinch-hitting will
be non-existent, and can you imagine the poor pitcher
who is being clobbered around the park, fully aware of
the fact that he is the last remaining pitcher the coach
can use? Holy earned-run-average!!
This year's team is comprised of several talented
regulars that form a small, yet solid, nucleus for the
Danes. Pep Pizzillo, Jay Moore, Andy Christian, Bill
Ingino, and Jim Nass were important parts of last
year's team that enjoyed a mildly successful season.
Coupled with certain standout members'of last year's
frosh team, the Danes do have a fine starting team
going for them. But that's all.

Living Affairs Commiision
During the discussion on the budget for Living Area Affairs Commission Eleanor Dlenor requested
that $150 be added for a newsletter. She stated that a lack of
communication in the living areas
made such a newsletter necessary.
It would contain information of who
the representatives were and also
used to contact commuters. The
addition was approved.
There was also discussion on the
allocation of funds to the quads for
special events. The argument was
that it was not needed because
there had never been such an allotment to the quads before. This
money, however, remained in the
budget and the total Living Area
budget came to $1832.
Discussion on the budget for Communications Commission Included
the fact that fewer Campus Viewpoints will be published next year.
They will be distributed only to
freshmen, campus leaders and
transfer students. The total approved for communications was
$43,462.

active in affairs other than his
teaching responsibilities. He is a
member of many significant committees on scientific affairs, including the President's Science Advisory Committee.
In addition, he is consultant to
'commercial companies, and on the
Board of Trustees of Sarah Lawrence College and Webster College.
Dr. Arthur Collins, Chairman of
the University Committee In Awards
will announce awards of University-wide significance. Nancy Deer-.

THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS
Frugality Not Exercised
The follouing is a guest editorial by Douglas Upham, representatative to Central Council from Communications Commission, and
Joseph Mahay, representative
to Central- Council irom
comMtets!
We congratulate Central Council for disposing of
$103,950.50 in. budgets in one three-hour meeting. In
the past, passage of budgets has taken several meetings with much consideration devoted to the relative
merits of each request and the approximate interest or
desire for the activity among Student Association. This
year Central Council has dispensed with such careful
but time-consuming considerations.
For example, in the consideration of the twenty
Community Programming budgets totaling $46,977.50,
which could be used as a model of efficiency, discussion was limited to forty-five minutes. When it became
apparent that only Music Council's budget ($.696,50), of
these twenty, would be discussed within this time limit,
Central Council was still able to maintain its pinnacle
of efficiency by passing all of the other budgets in
Community Programming without discussing each separately.
Also under Community Programming Commission
is Debate Council. Its budget line for trips, $2400, is
not restricted. However, Biology Club must inform
Finance Committee as to how it plans to spend its
moeny for trips, $200.
Out of a total budget of $1590 for Living Area Affairs Commission, $1205 was devoted to beer parties
and similar contributions to dorm living. Commuters
only received $242, although they comprise about onethird of the total school population and are given
special emphasis in the Living Area Affairs Constitution.
In a year in which frugality is of utmost importance
because of voluntary student tax, we feel that Central
Council /should have considered each budget more
carefully to insure proper distribution to needy activities,

Twenty students at State are undergoing a strange metamorphosis
these days - from student to tutor
to beggar to salesman. The transformation of these Newman Association members is on behalf of
poor children from the South End
of Albany, who are the State students' tutees.
For these children and their futures, the college students have
spent one night each week the whole
year tutoring them on Catharine
Street at the street's Civic Association Center. Now the students
have run a clothing drive among
their fellow, students to be given to
the poor.
Sell Clothing
Then came the idea to sell these
next-to-new articles of clothing at
a nominal fee and use the proceeds
for the tutees In some way.
Finally the thought that the money
should go to the children in an organized and enduring way, that is
through the Summer Community Organization for Recreation and Education, SCORE '66. The Community Organizations of the newlyformed lederation are sponsoring
SCORE '66.
The sale will be held at Trinity
Institute, 19 Trinity Place on Saturday, April 23 all day.
Joe Paulson, chairman of the project and coordinator of the Newman
Tutorial views the sale as "serving
a two-fold purpose: first, to get good

price and second, to raise money (or

Graduate Describes Program
The SCORE '66 program has been
described by Robert Wleboldt, a
University graduate student and a
work-study employee of Trinity Institute, an attempt "to assist neighborhood children needing individual
help with developing academic
skills."
The keynotes "individualization"
and "Informality" will characterize the camp's educational approach.
The camp situation will avoid
identification with formal schooling,
providing freedom for the child to
develop his educational abilities.
Small classes with maxjmum individual help from volunteer tutors
will enable the program to accomplish this end.
! Mr. Wleboldt, who will be supervisor of the camp, stresses another
aspet of the program as "the development of the children's social and
creative abilities through a coordinated recreational and arts and
crafts program."
Camp's Expectations
This project for "66 will approximate, but surpass the one of similar dimensions held last summer.
The different is that the 1965 Reading Tutorial made use of the camp
site belonging to Trinity Institute
only one day a week; SCORE '66
will be located on the camp grounds
In Clarksvllle.
As last year, the children will
receive a minimum of 60 hours of
Instruction plus the recreation time.
The particular goals of the program Is to Insure the proper read-

which I wish to make pertain not to
the content of this publication, but
rather to Mr. Cutty's manner of
reviewing it.
(1) Though Mr. Cutty's unmitigated contempt for this book was
obvious, I was unable to unearth one
clearly expressed criticism of It.
When I though I had an inkling of
what Mr. Cutty was trying to say, I
looked in vain for an example from
Allen's work to elucidate the reviewer's objections. Lest I be guilty
of the same sort of negligence, I
submit as an example of Mr. Cutty's
prose the following: "While A'llen
uses semantics, logic, and common
sense to support Liberal thesis, he
piously insists that even Liberalism
is such a broad category that it may
contain within Its gates enough lunatics with which to confront the radical right and this hlsownphllosophy
of Moderate Liberalism...Is truly a
"elite." But what did he write? Was
It Jazz? (I* the sky red?) No. He
used tile so-called Jazz Idiom. Rhap- !
aody starts out with a clarinet playing a run and ending In a gllssando
that was typical (?) of Jazz. He
made much use, of so-called Jazz

notes. Does that make It Jazz?
Again, not It still lacked the one
thing that Is needed to make jazz
Jazz. There is no room for improvisation and no room for the players
to show their own feelings about the
piece. It is still acomposer'splece.
That is still the thing that separatee
jazz from all other types of music.
I can play a song like "Witchcraft,"
you can play It, Miles, Dizzy, Brubeck, the MJQ, even Al Hlrt (ugh)
can play it. Each time it's a differ- '
ent song played a different way.
THAT'S jazz.

("Wha??," said the voice).
Let me explain. Before Gershwin,
many of America's social elite, the
"high society" crowd, felt that jazz
was the music of the "underlings,"
it could never be heard on the serious (?) concert stage. It was the
type of music one listened to when
one went "slumming." "One never

(2) Rather than rational analysis
and specific criticisms of what Allen
has to say, Mr. Cutty gives us such
statements as"Whatabsurd trash!"
"What ridiculous rubblshl" "Whai
utter Junkl" and devotes several
lines to letting us know how little ho
thinks of the author's personality.
As he does this, Mr, Cutty Indicates
that he has some special insight into
the mind of Steve Allen. Allen, we
are Informed, "thinks he has learneil
enough;" he Is a "self-Important
man," whose years of political activity have been nothing but "ego
building."
' (3) In the third paragraph of Ills
article, Mr. Cutty complains that
Allen Is "constantly shooting his
.nouth off" on TV. Aside from the
buu taste and worst diction which it
shares with the rest of the review,
this paragraph is patently Irrelevant,
The above examples ought to give
the flavor of Mr. Cutty's discourse
to anyone who missed the original.
It seems superfluous to add that it

When the National Shakespeare Company arrives on May 10 for Its
three week festival at the Saratoga Spa Theatre, It will be coming in from
a thirty-two week string of performances that has carried the troupe from
coast to coast playing to over a quarter of a million people.
The New York based troupe, In three brief years of existence, has already become the most widely traveled professional Shakespearean troupe

Organized in 1962, with a four-week itinerary mainly concentrated in
the New York metropolitan area, the National Shakespeare Company
logged more than 20,000 miles In an extensive thirty-two week trek
throughout the East and Midwest.
APRIL 22, 1966
ALBANY, NEW YORK
140,000 Can't Be Wrong
More' than 140,000 people witnessed productions of "Macbeth," "Taming of the Shrew," and "Shakespeare's.World," performed in such major
cities as Boston, Buffalo, Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York, and
Roanoke, along with engagements In smaller localities.
The itinerary of the current company has expanded to a coast-tc-coast,
thirty-six-week Junket with appearances In more than thirty states — from
Massachusetts to California, Texas to Minnesota, with first-time engagements schedule in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Wichita, Amarlllo, New
Orleans, Charlottesville, and others.
Self-Contained Unit
Founded by producer-director Philip Melster, and actress Elaine Sulka,
In order to "bring quality productions of culturally significant dramatic
literature to the nation at large," the National Shakespeare Company
travels as a self-contained unit with the most advanced modern technical
equipment.
Productions are fully costumed, and performed against settings with a
lull complement of light, sound and musical effects.
"Our motto Is 'Have Company, Will Travel'," declared Mr. Melster.
"All we need is a place to set up. We perform anywhere, under any circumstances. We've acted on basketball courts, In huge auditoriums, community center stages and other areas which appeared hardly larger than
the size of a postage stamp. Transporting all scenery and technical equipment necessary for full-scale productions enables us to be completely
self-sufficient. Each sponsor need only provide the playing space and
electrical power."

$4.05.
"Square's Progress Is yet another approach to a theme that was
dealt with by T. S. Eliot In "The Cocktail Party" and by Saul Bellow in
"Herzog": the problem of marriage between two fundamentally incompatible people. Yet "Square's Progress' deals with the issue in a more
satisfying way than "Herzog," primarily because the narrator (like
Eliot) keeps his attention focused on the basic problem, the incompatibility,
and the reasons for It; whereas Bellow gives us only a loaded and onesided picture of the same situation,
The "Square" In this novel Is the husband, Fred Cope, a big, kindly,
bumbling Junior executive addicted to his television set, newspapers, and
neighborhood parties In Bloodbury, the fashionable New Jersey suburb
where he lives with his wife, Alison. She has an inchoate desire to get more
out of life than a round of polite parties, yet she Is neither talented nor
profound. Her Inability to penetrate the impassive wall Fred has erected
against her (to him) boring attempts at conversation has turned her into a
nagging shrew. In other words, the two "don't communicate."
This lack of communication causes a one-year separation. Before
going to sleep after a party which has left Fred tiddly and drowsy, Alison
Informs lilin that she Is going to leave tor a few days to think things over.
She tells him where she Is going, Fred grunts assent, and when he wakes
up the next morning she Is gone. But he cannot remember their conversation of the night before and does not know how to find her. Each goes
his own way for a year of self-exploration, Fred Impulsively throws up
his Job and drifts off to Spain for a stay among a repulsive set of expatriate marijuana-smoking beatniks, a group he conscientiously cultivates in an effort to become more hip. Alison, meanwhile, returns to her
home town, Stapleton, Pennsylvania, where people are "real," But she
views them now with the Jaundiced eye of greater experience, More Importantly, both Fred and Alison face up to certain deficiencies In themselves, Eventually, each returns to Bloodbury; and eventually, they meet.
But they are able now to, act toward each other with more honesty. This
honesty almost leads them Into a divorce; ultimately, however, tliey
blunder Into a bittersweet reconciliation very similar to the one between
the Chamberlaynes at the end of "The Cocktail Party."
Sheed's style Is brilliant, The title, of course, echoes "Pilgrim's
Progress" and "The. Rake's Progress," The nineteenth century is not
left out, either; the first page Or two Is a magnificent evocation of the
brilliant opening paragraphs of «Bleak House." Lest we miss the point,
it is underlined; "Mud along the Thames, mud in the Chancery
Mud In the Jersey flats."
This Is an acute novel. Neither of the major characters is without
flaw. Yet the narrator has the compassion for both which can result only
from sympathy and, more Importantly, understanding,
