The Albany cagera showed that they a r e a team to
be reckoned with Monday a s they survived a 10 minute
period of woeful shooting and miserable passing, and
still came on strong at the end to win by 7.
The Sauersmen played as well as would be expected for the first 20 minutes, and the Indians from Loudonvllle definitely appeared to be outclassed in almost
. all aspects of the game. However, when the second
half got under way, it soon became apparent that the
Great Danes had suddenly gone sour. It Is cold streaks
like this that make any team, college or professional,
vulnerable, for these streaks can strike any time on
any night.
On Monday night a fired up Siena team quickly took
advantage of the Albany slump and the Indians came
storming back from a 15 point deficit to surge Into a
five point lead. In a rivalry as heated as this one a rally
of such proportions could easily provide the spark necessary to produce a major upset, and for a minute it
looked like that might be the case. However, the Albany
hoopsters suddenly settled down and went to work. The
gap was quickly closed as the Great Danes reasserted
their superiority, and once again took charge of the '
game. Rich Marglson started to break through for driving lay-ups, and the defense clamped down, preventing
Siena from getting the good shots that they were working
for so methodically. So Albany shot back into the lead,
building a lead of nine and reinforcing the impression
given in the first half that Siena really is not on a par
with Albany.
With Siena out of the way the next big test for the
Great Danes will be a week from today at Ithaca. The
Sauersmen, with an 11 game win streak under their
belts, certainly deserve consideration for a tournament
bid. A 17 game win streak is a possibility, and it is
hard to imagine how we could be overlooked if such a
win streak is achieved.
Buffalo State has already been assured of a tournament bid, due to their first place standing In the State
College conference, and it must be remembered that
Buffalo presently has five losses, with a possibility
of a couple more before the tournament. Albany pulled
out of this league several years ago, and has been playing independently ever since, but we still take on a number of state schools, and If we beat Oswego, we will
have handled all opposition from that conference, thus
It would seem that if we do finish without another loss,
a tournament bid would be well deserved, but tournament officials are not known for their predictability,
so anything can happen.

Regarding a possible tourney
berth, Director of Sports Information, Richard Rice, Jr., has
released the following Information. That, (1) C. W. Post, Farlelght Dickinson, the University
of Rochester, LeMoyne, and Albany State are under consideration for three of the four atlarge bids In the regional; (2)
one of the above teams, excluding Albany, will be selected as a
host team for the tourney and
thereby receive a berth; and (3)
the NCAA committee will select the deserving squads sometime early next week. Therefore,
the Albany contests against
Ithaca and Cortland next weekend will have no bearing on the
Sauersmen's chances for their
first NCAA tournament.
Buffalo State has the fourth
position automatically for winning the State University Conference championship.

The Albany State wrestling

again forfeited the heavyweight
division and thus gave up five
points.
The wrestling team this year
has been hampered by a lack of
depth, particularly In the upper
weight classes as they have been
forced to forfeit the heavyweight
spot ever since the beginning of
this semester. In addition, some
wrestlers havo been forced to
participate with painful injuries as there has been no one
to replace them.
All that one could ask for was
packed Into the Albany-Siena contest. Playing before an estimated SRO crowd of 2,200 and with
over 1,000 fans stranded outside Cardinal McCloskey, the
Great Danes and Indians hooked

Led by Junior standout Rich
Marglson, the Danes got off to

pressure on, the Purple and Gold

remaining and left the court at

After Scott Price hit on a
Jumper to put the Danes ahead
by 14 at the start of the second
stanza, Coach Tom Harmon's
crew went on a 30-13 tear to
lead 64.59, with about eight minutes remaining.
Trailing 08-64, with four minutes to go, the Danes then ripped off eight straight points to
go ahead, 72-68, a lead which
they never lost.
Marglson, who scored a game
high of 25, hit four key baskets
in the final drive, three on spectacular driving lay ups.
The New Paltz affair was no
contest as the Danes raced to
a 47-24 halftlme lead and kept
the margin at around 25 points
throughout the remainder of the
game. It was the Sauersmen's
12th win in a row, equalling the
mark set by the 1064-65 team.
They will have a chance to break

Lewis Hershey, acting under
advice from the National Security

In a telegram to all state selective service directors. Students now in their first year of
graduate study will be allowed

Unless there is a change In
the method of selecting draftees,
the order means that most students graduating from college or
completing their first year of

be drafted soon after graduation.
At present, the oldest registrants
are drafted first and students

A number of professors in the

have signed a statement in reference to graduate student draft
deferments drawn up by Jonathan
Knight, Lecturer In the GSPA.
Written in "reaction to a directive OTrom the National Security CouncU)," Knight said that
there is no concerted effort on
the part of the faculty, college
seniors, graduate students nor
any nation-wide movement to protest the recent change in graduate deferment policy. This Is
not an attempt to solidify such
protest.
The statement reads:
"The decision of the National
Security Council to suspend Indefinitely most graduate student
draft deferments does not remove
draft Inequalities, and poses a
serious threat to higher education In the United States.
By reducing the number of persons earning higher degrees, the
decision derives colleges, industry AND government of necessary
teachers, researchers and advisors.
By creating uncertainty as to
draft status the decision disrupts higher education and Impedes the efforts Of the graduate

We urgently ask you to reconsider a decision which benefits no one, and only fosters

General Studies
School To Relate
To Community
by Ira Wolrman
"An attempt to better relate
the University to the community"
Is one of the purposes of the
School of General Studies, as
seen by Dean Irving A. Veerschoor.
The School of General Studies,
founded two and a half years ago,
Is oriented towards the adult or
part-time student who wishes to
take College level courses for a
variety of reasons. Lumped under
the general heading of "Contlnulng Education," Dr. Veerschoor
feels that there Is a "diversity
of worlds" In the continuing
education field.
At present, there are over 500
students taking courses through
the school. They are offered any
of 43 courses they may wish to
take. The subjects offered range
from Elementary Russian to English Composition, with a great
variety of subjects Intermixed.
Most students take night
courses here at the University,
but the school may place them
In day classes also. It is "an
individual student with individual
problems that we are dealing
with" Dr. Veerschoor stated.
Each student is given classes
that, If at all possible, will best
suit him.
As the University gets larger,
the plans for various branches
also expand. In the planning
stages at this date is a "Continuing Education Center" for
the School of General Studies.
This center would allow the
school to expand by offering more
course to more students. Presently, there is only one center
in New York State, located at
Syracuse. Plans for this center
would Include workshops, seminars, and classes for the Interested students.
The school does not presently
have a teaching faculty of Its own.
AH professors are University
teachers who have agreed to take
on the added classes. The faculty
of the school at this time Is composed of five men In administrative positions.
The reactlonsofthecommunity
have been "very good" according to Veerschco:. He states that
"Word of mouth of satisfied students has been our best advertising."
Any person Interested in entering the school may contact them
and arrange for an Interview.
Most students carry no more
than three courses carrying the
equivalent of 9 credit hours.
poll and Lois Stone.
Professors who signed the
statement Include: Joseph Zimmerman in Political Science,
Gelfand and Franklin Waker In
Political Economy and Patrick
Conklln In Public Administration.
Michael Moss, assistant professor of Political Science, did
not sign the statement; he believes there should be a thorough Investigation of the whole
draft system."
Moss was speaking specifically In view of the recent changes
that have taken place concerning
graduate deferments, and also in
reference to a report given by
Betty Vetter, executive director
of the Scientific Manpower Committee' which listed the total draft
pool available for the 1968-69
school year as 1,183,600 men.
Of this number, the college
graduate total is 319,600 men
(Including male baccalaureates,
1967-68; first year full-time graduate students, first registered lor
Grad Study in 1967-68 school
year; male master's degrees, and
Ph.Ds).
As fai as Moss knows, all
of these men will be drafted barring local draft board deferments
as the administration is placing
them at the top of the eligibility list because of the age element.

Gottlieb's main stand can be
summed up in one remark ha
made which received strong applause from the audience, "Whan
the problem has to be defined,

Noam Chomsky pointed out that
the only weapon that can be used

a small portion of this nation.
The program Included the

"Definition of the Problem," and
a film entitled "The Survivors,"
about war-Injured children In
Vietnam. On Saturday the program began with a panel discussion: -'What are the Possible
Solutions?"
A continuation of the discussion In small groups with speakers as resource people followed.
This panel Included Jonathan Mirsky, Alfred Haasler, and Tran
Van otnh. The next panel discussion was "How Can We Influence U.S. Actions?" The panel
included Gerald Taylor, George

Noam Chomsky,

The final session of the TrlCity Peace Conference moved towards its goal of stimulating
active support for actions that
"will attempt to provide some
measure of hope to the American people and the Vietnamese
people."
Tran Van Dlnh suggested the
formation of a "Committee to

is the symbol of unity to the
Vietnamese people.
Interest was expressed In providing stronger community support for the Community of Responsibility, the organization

sion. Logan Wilson, president of
the American CouncU on haucutlon, the nation's largest education group, called the decision
"alarming" and recommended
that Congress adopt a system of
random selection of draftees;
Congress rejected that Idea in
June, however.
Gustave O. Arlt, president of
the U.S. Council of Graduate
Schools^ said ho was "Appalled-'
at the new regulations. He challenged the Security Council statement that graduate deferments
are not In the national Interest.
"The national Interest requires
that we continue to produce an
adequate
number
of highly
trained personnel to serve In
government and Industry.
Arlt said that If graduate students are reduced by about 40
per cent under the now regulations, the U.S. will not reach
its present level of production
of graduate students until 1072,
Graduate schools will have a
tough time admitting applicants,
since they will not know whether
or not the student will bo drafted.
Dr. Morris Explains
Pre-Registration System
At a recent Interview, Dr. Robert B. Morris, Dean of the University College, explained some
of the Intricacies of the new
advisement and pre-reglstratlon
system.
Dr., Morris is a member of
the six man team appointed by
Dr. Webb Flser, Vice President
for Academic Affairs, to study
the University's
registration
system.
The committee compiled data
relating class year of students
with the courses they are taking. An Interesting finding revealed that 47 per cent of the
juniors and seniors are enrolled in courses on the 100 and 200

Psi Gamma To Celebrate
70 Years Of Sisterhood
Psl Gamma sorority Is celebrating its 70th anniversary this
month. In honor of the occasion,
the present 96 sisters and the
alumni have planned a reunion
for the weekend of March 29-31.
Activities for the weekend will
include a block of seats for the
Special Events Board concert on
Friday night, followed by cocktails at the Ambassador Club.
On Saturday, there will be an
open lounge and coffee hour, and.
on Saturday night, a cocktail
hour and dinner-dance at the
Golden Fox.
Psl Gamma was founded in
1898, as a literary club, by
Edith Stoneman and Gertrude
Hall, with the help of Dr. William J. Milne. L. Elizabeth Reed,
a Cornell graduate, taking a post
graduate course at the University, was elected the first president, Margaret S. Mooney, head
of the English Department, was
the first faculty advisor.
At first, meetings were held
in the homes of the members,
but In 1906, they rented an apartment on Madison Ave. for meetings and started making plans
for a sorority house. In 1924
the girls moved to their first
house on Madison Ave.
Since 1927, the sorority
sisters have had houses on South
Lake Ave., Western Ave., Madison Ave., and Hudson Ave. In
1965 they moved to their present
location in Van Rensselaer Hall
or, the Dutch Quadrangle.
Since Its inception as a literary
society, the sorority has undergone many changes. Today,
sisters are Involved in many
University actlvltes. Lynn Hewitt
represents the sorority on
MYSKANIA, while Peggy Carrol,
Maggie Dletz, Lynn Hewitt, Gerry
Walt'5
Masters, Madeline Schnabel, and
Carol Walling represent the
sorority on Who's Who.
In addition, Maggie Dletz Is
chairman of Pan-Hellenic Council and Secretary of the Class of
1968, and vice-president RoCanla
is secretary of the Class of 1969
and Special Events Board as well
as co-chairman of Activities Day
•67. Other sisters are active on
Special Events Board, Community Programming Commission, L.A.A.C., theA.S.P., Campus Center Governing Board,
Homecoming, and Academic Honoraries. President Carol Walling, Ellen Groschadl, Frances
Holt, Sheila Predmore, Lynn
Schelnman, and Nora Tyler are
on Slgnum Laudls. An alumni
sister, Mrs. Kenneths, Macaffer,
sits on the University Council.
The sorority placed second In
the Homecoming Float Contest,
Holiday Sing, and the ISC
Scholarship Cup. Ann Tenbrook
served In the Queen's Court,
while Maggie Dletz was In the
top 12 finalist In the State in the
National College Queen Contest.
In addition, the sororolty sisters
participate In community activities such as the Cancer Drive,
the Heart Fund Drive, the South
End Project, and the tutoring
service.
"There must always be a priority in selecting class cards,"
continued Morris. "In our Judgment the alpha rotating system
Is fairest to all."
Under this system, all students whose names begin with
the letter "k" will be given the
first chance to draw class cards,
"The letter 'k' was randomly
selected with the understanding
that the alpha rotating system will
continue."
When prereglstratlon begins,
it is expected that several seniors will be closed out of courses.
"A senior closed out should go
to his advisor to make arrangements to be signed Into a course
he needs to fulfill graduation
requirements."
After May 10, when pre-reglstratlon closes, the committee
plans to look at the number of
spaces available In courses with
the anticipated demand of 1,700
new freshman and 400 transfers.
In the past freshmen and sophomores have been at adlsadvantage In selecting courses In the

"With this data and the sub.

courses usually close early,"
commented Morris.
Using this information, the
committee will compare the wishes of the students and the spaces
available In favored courses.
"On or about April 5 we hope
to create additional spaces in
courses If there Is a demand."
Morris commented that while
the committee was Interested
and aware that students want
specific teachers and times, the
students should first be able to
get the necessary course and
then perhaps the preferred Instructor.

OCTORS who specialize in back troubles report most
aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly
bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doctors recommend the pain-relief compound In Anacin*
Analgesic Tablets. And Anacln gives you more of this
medication than any other leading tablet.
Anacin Is a special fortified formula. It promptly
relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so releases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice
how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with
greater ease.
Only Anacin has this special fortified
formula. It's not found In any other product. See if Anacln's exclusive formula

students
were not allowed to experience
the disciplines or to allow the
Influence of the disciplines to
help them determine a major."
The Alpha rotating system puts
all classes at an equal advantage.
"It Is necessary for the University to have a multiple time
period for advisement," Morris
pointed out. The time taken for
advisement depends upon many
things; the University College
takes many weeks, whereas the
School of Social Welfare may
only take several hours.
When asked why the prereglstratlon system wasn't thrown
open to all students without regard to priority, Morris cited
the following Incident: In the

"When the students left, Draper

The group continued to stand

Thorne considered the demonstration to be Illegal because It
violated students' rights by preventing them from seeing the
Interviews.
Vice president Olson talked
to the demonstrators; he said
"the people are going to see
the Interviewer. If they are blocked the administration will have to
take action."
The group suggested that If
the Interviewer were moved to
the Thruway Motor Motel, they
would disperse. He told them
they were "obstructionists" and
the proper authorities would be
called. A few of the group moved.
4:25 p.m. — The group sat
down. Mr. Connally gave his first
warning that they were violating
the law. The security police
were given clubs.
Dr. Robert Morris told the
security police to use the clubs
only for their own protection If

to stand back and clear the corridor. All afternoon some of
the bystanders had heckled. Now

the entire spectrum of graphic communications
and our major commitment to the creation of inexpensive and more potent educational techniques.
At Xerox, this constant drive to overcome the information gap between peoples by use of communications techniques has had the welcome
effect of making us a profitable company. From
1960 through 1966 total operating revenues increased, from $40 million to $528 million. This
financial success permits us to reward our people
in tangible as well as intangible forms. Few companies recognize innovative talents in Accounting,

Three Events
Plans for the simultaneous
holding of Parent's Weekend,
J a i i Festival and Campus Carnival from Thursday, May 2 to
Sunday, May S are well under
way. These activities are being
scheduled to provide a full week• end with as little overlapping of
functions as possible.
A similar weekend was held
last year when the Jars Festival
and Campus Carnival were
scheduled for the same time due
to a lack of suitable times for
programming. This year Parent's Weekend was added to the
slate.
Campus Carnival Includes
Gentle Thursday and State Fair,
an annual festival for which Greek
groups, dorms, and other organisations construct carnivaltype booths. Some entires in past
years and sure to be in evidence
again, are the BZ bust (balloons),
Slg car wreck. Contributions collected from these booths are used
for the Student Ambassador program.
Those groups preparing booths
for State Fair should plan to
have them ready at 11 p.m. on
Sat., May 4. Storage space will be
provided s o that booths may be
prepared on Friday.
The 3m Festival, held for the
first time last year, is presently
being planned to Include one
large, big name concert and
several smaller performances.
Coupled with these will be
Parent's Weekend which Is slated to Include a dinner and several

Mrs. Bullard took courses In

they were not allowed to film

The issues Involved with the ar
rest of ten students and the taking of names of 57 others in connection with the Dow demonstration
last week are confused and deeply
concerned with poor judgment on
several counts.
First, while the demonstrators
remained for the most part peaceful, they, at some points, violated
the University policy of December
17 which prohibited demonstrators
from harassment and intimidation
of others. At times, they blocked
the passage to the recruitment
office making It difficult, If not
impossible, for prospective employees to enter and forcing, at
one point, the lifting of people
over the demonstrators.
Another mis-Judgment was, admittedly, the non-action on the part
of the administration throughout
most of the demonstration. One of
the
protest
leaders
commented, "We were trying to keep
the demonstration within the prescribed bounds, but as emotions
were aroused we could not. The
administration could have helped us."
If the administration had stepped
in earlier, not to completely disband the group, but to remind them
where the line between a peaceful
and lawful vigil and a disorderly
one lies, the demonstration might
have remained inside these bounds.
It would certainly have had a better chance of doing so, and the
arrests might not have been necessary.
Thirdly, the methods and effect
of hecklers and counter - demonstrators must be taken into account. Charges have been made
that some of these Individuals also
engaged In disorderly conduct,
though none of them are Included
in the 57 persons whose names
were taken.
The counter-demonstrators exercised poor judgment in this case
also. Their existence and cause
was just as legitimate as that of
the anti-Dow demonstrators, and
they too were subject to all the
regulations of a demonstration.
Another factor which must be
considered is that the burden for
the insurance of a peaceful demonstration which stays within the
prescribed bounds lies with the
demonstrators themselves, on both
sides of an issue. Mass psychology
is a tricky business and the leaders must consider all the factors
in the organization of a protest.
Each individual involved must also
consider seriously the responsibility for his own actions, no matter what the outside pressures to
which he may be subjected.
Since the primary function of
this University is educational, we
hope that much has been learned
from this incident. In keeping with
this, we hope that the action recommended by the LA AC Judiciary and
taken by the University in the cases
of all the students involved will
reflect the charge of disorderly
conduct with the consideration of
the poor judgment exhibited by all
parties involved.
Desegregate Frosh
Alumni Quad, composed mainly of freshmen, is virtually isolated from the rest of the University. The present arrangement of the two campuses has
its advantages and disadvantages; we feel, however, that if a
number of things were changed
almost all the negative aspects
of the present arrangement could
be eliminated.
The lack of upperclassmen on
the Alumni Quad and the traveling time and effort involved in
reaching activities now centered
almost wholly on the new campus have prolonged the period of
freshmen assimilation to the University.
When the freshmen first came
here last fall they were isolated
from upperclassmen and none
of them knew what to expect. In
former years, a frosh at Alumni
had the upperclassmen on his
corridor to help introduce him to
the University's system. To make
the transition to university life
easier, next year's freshmen
must have more contact with upperclassmen.
Further, most organizations
meet on the new campusj it would
be a dedicated freshman who
joins any of these activities. If
a freshman wishes to attend a
Student Association governmental function, a club meeting or even use the library he must not

ing It). Next year the situation
will be compounded since the
theatre building and gym will be
open for concerts, plays, exhibitions and games. Alumni freshmen must have better access to
the new campus or extra facilities to use uptown or both.
To help diminish the problems
of the separate campuses several
measures could be taken. Some
upperclassmen could be allowed
to live on Alumni; flexible meal
tickets which could be used on
all quads could be given to all
students; lockers could be made
available to Alumni residences
(and commuters); the time interval between bus runs could be
decreased.
The residence staff is seriously considering allowing some upperclassmen to live on Alumni
Quad if they choose. We give
our support to this idea and feel
that these upperclassmen would
help next year's freshmen to acclimate themselves to the University.
The flexible meal card is no
new idea, but we urge Robert
Cooley of F.S.A. to arrange for
this service before the end of this
year, if at all possible. The flexible meal card would enable Alumni freshmen to stay on the new
campus if they wished to attend
a function or use the library in
the evening,
Lockers, which could be placed in the corridor connecting
lecture rooms two and four, would
allow the Alumni resident to
store items he would need later
in the day instead of carrying
them around or going back to the
dorm for them.
One obvious aspect of grouping freshmen on Alumni is the
spirit of the students, which was
not evident on the quad last year.
Waterbury Hall has had more
activities than last year. Alden
Hall has at least one group of
girls who have formed a sorority-like group; the girls of that
dorm out sung everyone else at
Holiday Sing. One need only enter Brujo find that It has changed
from last year.
"Defend the Ten!" "Dow shall
not kill!" These are but two of
the clever phrases Invented by
the lunatic fringe of the left last
week. The normal people yelled
at the demonstrators, "Bomb
with Bant"
The demonstration went over
as planned. Morality dreamers,
Communist dupes, and publicity
seekers Jammed the corridor of
the Administration Building last
Wednesday for the purpose of
preventing as many as possible
from seeing the interviewer from
Dow. The goal of the protest was
also achieved: ten martyrs names
will now be remembered always
In the files of the Albany Police
Dept. They will endure In memory for their valiant stand against
the evllness of our rugged University Security Police Force.
The campus cops, given a holiday
from cruising cautiously around
the parking lot, took advantage of
the situation by protecting the Inalienable human barrier right
of the left-wing extremists.
Only the. night before, the
brains of the SDS-Faculty Student Committee coalition gathered to pool their talents on how
was the best way to greet Dow
Chemical. After hours of Intelligent debate, the brain trust heard
at last the most ingenious solution. A 56-year-old third grade
youngster suggested, "Why don't
you guys sit In the hall?" All
the leaders agreed to follow up
on this brilliant suggestion.
In the early hours of the demonstration, It was rather quiet.
The protestors, with their hearts
set on their noble cause, tripped
women applicants and asked a robust member of our campus cops
to pass out their fiction. When
someone going out of Dow was
being tripped, he gave a protestor a kick to the head. Ciarges
of brutality were made. The police refused to allow a group of
moderates and conservatives to
walk through, and one member of
the group said, "We'll go back,
because we respect the law."
This, of course, was followed by
a nauseating chuckle by the protestors. In the afternoon, when the
protestors left momentarily to
excrete some of the body wastes
they were full of, a group of
Americans decided to turn the
tables and refused to allow the
weirdos back In. This was followed by a futile rush at the line.
And that was the only attempt at
physical violence during the day.
After the protest, one leader
said: "I'm very pleased with the
many kinds of people who supported us today." Those who did
can be placed Into one of two
categories — those now In Jail,
and those who should be In jail.
A good many liberals disagreed
with the fascist tactics used by
the protestors . . . I am convinced that the people arrested got a
big charge of seeing their names
in print. . . some of the protestors laid claims to being more
patriotic than the moderates and
conservatives. They're very
wrong. What they love theU.S.
for Is what they consider a Utopian future where everyone gets
equal benefits from unequal production. A true patriot loves the

View From The Behind
by M.D.S., and M.A.D.
During the week we have had
several arguments as to whether
the ASP readers are aware of
what is going on. To settle this
answer once and for all w* are
presenting a campus wide multiple choice exam.
1. The present purpose of
MYSKANIA Is: (a) to further the
petty political ambitions of a select few; (b) to retain an element of tradition from the days
when we were an obscure not-toogood teacher's college; (c) to promote fraternity and sorority unity each year at election time
(d) to fill up another page In
the year book.
2. Members of Young Americans For Freedom are: (a) as
boorishly rude as is humanly possible; (b) with a few exceptions,
Incapable of arguing Intelligently
on any subject; (c) hypocritical
enough to support a war In which
they refuse to fight by accepting
a 2-S deferment rather than en-
listing, preferlng poor blacks and
whites to die In their place while
they talk.
3. Those arrested at a recent
sit-in are: (a) suffering from a
martyr complex; (b) unwilling to
grant others the right they themselves demand; (c) misguided In
a good cause; (d) want to "confront" an Issue bad enough to
create one.
4. The student body In general:
(a) Is self-centered enough to
be blind to anything happening
outside their own little circle;
(b) Is Incapable of either generating or. being Influenced by any
Intellectual stimulation; (c) has
never been forced to think logically, clearly or at all; (d) will
read nothing unless assigned In
a course, has their name In it,
mentions Jackie Kennedy or the
Beatles, or Is on the level of
the Saturday Evening Pest, Reader's Disgust or anything else that
can be digested with little or no
thought.
Dow Passion
To the Editor:
The attitude of SUNYA's humanltarlan students, intheirprotest against DOW CHEMICAL
CORPORATION, raises some interesting questions. Discounting
the pros and cons surrounding
the use of napalm, let us examine the reasoning which the
anti-Dow faction has set forth.
The FACTION(as I shall henceforth refer to them, since they
did not Identify themselves)
argues that "a corporation which
manufacturers chemistry sets
for teen-agers would be held responsible If a child were Injured
or killed playing with It. We feel
Dow should be held responsible
for the deaths of the people In
Vietnam."
Let us reduce this agrument
to Its logical absurdity with some
other examples. Products from
U.S. Steel are used In war materials which kill people; Ford
Motors produce automotive parts
used in weapons carriers which
undoubtedly contribute to the
deaths of i/eople; the agricultural
community grows food to feed the
soldiers who kill people.
This list is endless. Question:
Should U.S. Steel, Ford, General
Motors, the agricultural Interests be held responsible for
the deaths of the people In Vietnam?
The FACTION, unfortunately,
has directed Its attack at the
wrong party. The agent responsible for the use of napalm Is
the Federal Government, not
Dow. Dow has every right to
manufacture napalm and has
every right to recruit employes
on this campus.
True to form, the FACTION
has set the ground rules determining who has the fight to be
where and when, and—for what
purpose. Dow's position Is wrong
because the FACTION disagrees
with them. Therefore, Dow should
not be allowed to recruit on
campus, or If they do have that
right, the humanitarians should
do everything possible to disrupt Dow's procedures.
This attitude typifies the pseudointellectual character of our
campus leftists.
The FACTION has the right to
protest the evils of war. I suggest, if they wish to exercise
this right, that they think first,
then act accordingly. The emotional and Illogical appeals will
gain no respect, and will tend to
alienate the FACTION from those
organizations which have Justlfl- '
able and defensible grounds for
protest. The FACTION should
act with a maximum of knowledge and a minimum of passion.
John R. Mann
Morally Outraged
To the Editor (Feb. 21)
As a participant in the recent
demonstration against the use of
University facilities by Dow
Chemical for recruitment purposes, I was encouraged by the
number of persons who, evidently, also failed to perceive how
this recruitment relates to thp
University as an Institution devoted to the expansion and dlsemlnatlon of knowledge.
I also agree with those who
were morally outraged at the suggestion that the recruitment of
persons for assistance in the
operation of an Industry that
produces the pain and horror that
Dow Chemical produces Is necessary for the maintenance of freedom of inquiry at the University.
There were others who probably saw the demonstration as a
way to reach an Industry which
they felt to be a prime element
in the further totalization of a
brutal, Immoral war. With these
I also agree and was willing to
sit.
For the most part the demonstration was in the spirit of nonviolence. There was even an uncertain but generally good rapport with the security guards.
At this time the demonstration
was effective In making the re-
cruitment process difficult'and
unrewarding enough so that, hopefully, Dow Chemical would
eventually be forced to take Its
recruitment elsewhere.
Towards the end of my "sit,"
around two-thirty,
there was
much discussion concerning the
course of action upon the return
of the Recruiter. The controversy
was over whether toremalnseated, making difficult the passage
of the recruiter, or whether to
stand, lock arms and positively
block the passage of the recruiter to his office.
A vote was eventually held and
It was decided to sit. This seemed to me the only logical choice,
for to stand up and lock arms
would have aggravated the situation to the point where It might
have' precipitated violence and
furthermore would have, It
seems, defeated the purpose of
the demonstration.
If we aggravated a situation that
was already uncertain, knowing
full well that our actions could
precipitate violence, then we
would Jeopardize our moral position as persons concerned with,
and seeking to stop the manufacture of violence by Dow
Chemical.
I realize that his moral position — that there exists no such
thing as good violence regardless
of the ends It seeks — is not
held by all.
Furthermore, If we had locked
our arms and refused admission
for the recruiter, the police would
undoubtedly have dispersed the
demonstration, possibly making
arrests — all of which would
have left Dow free to recruit unencumbered.
P.S. (Feb. 22) It seems that
after I. had left the demonstration for fear of the direction it
was taking, exactly what I pre.
dieted would happen, happened.
As a result, from the time of the
arrests until well after five the
recruiter
recruited
unencumbered.

Why Life Story?
To the Editor:
On February 16, 1968, recipients of Educational Opportunity
Grants were sent a six-page memorandum. The subject of this
memorandum Is "Educational
Opportunity
Grant Recipient
Questionnaire." The questionnaire contains nine sections:
1) Academic Subject Area
2) Other Sources of Financial
Aid
3) Athletics
4) Student Government
5) Social Group Membership
6) Extracurricular Activities
7) Social Life
8) Employment and
9) Use of Student Activities.
I would like to know the relevance of sections I, II, IV, V,
VI, VII and IX mentioned above
towards the basis upon which an
Educational Opportunity Grant is
awarded. The E.O.G., as far as
I know, is based upon financial
need and not upon a student's
personal life.
I should like to question this
memorandum as to how It will
be Interpreted In determining
financial need, what is the basis
for this Interpretation and specifically, who will have access to
this Information.

Open Campus?
To the Editor:
"The University is an open
campus and it will continue to be
so , . , Barring recruiters would
Interfere with the Intellectual
freedom of and Impose a form
of censorship on the University
community." With such statements did the administration
again refuse to deny the use of
university facilities to the Dow
Chemical Corp, recruiters.
Since I was the one to write,
the letter requesting that the
University bar Dow from campus,
and lest I be accused of conspiring to subvert the lofty ideals
proclaimed by the administration, I would like to suggest a
few flaws in the administration's
argument, as I see then.
In the first place, w.iat is this
"open campus" which we are told
SUNYA Is? I would suggest that
a university is "open" only to the
extent that It permits Its members to freely engage in that
activity for which a university
exists, I.e. academic activity. To
Interfere with academic activity
is to "Impose a form of censorship on the university community," and to the extent that this
Is done, a campus may properly
be said to be "closed."
But what has this to do with
Dow Chemical Corp.? Can the
activity of a Dow recruiter be
in any way construed as "academic activity?" I contend that It
can not.
The Dow recruiter, as any
recruiter, is here In an economic
capacity; he is here to buy a
product, manpower. What the administration's argument falls to
do Is distinguish between economic activity, which he is patently not engaging in.
Essentially, what we are left
with then are two distinct types
of "open campus," andthe"openness" for recruiters which our
school defends Is more properly
termed an "open market;" aconcept quite distinct from academic
freedom, or "openess," for
which the university should stand.
To defend a recruiter by raising
the battle cry of intellectual freedom Is to confuse the function
of a fish peddlar with that of a
professor, and Is fallacious.
What, then, one may ask, Is
wrong, with the "open market"
position advocated by the administration with respect to recruiters? To answer this, It Is
only necessary to ask what our
position would be If this were a
university in Nazi Germany during the 1940s. If the company
that manufactured gas employed
to murder Jews sent a recruiter
to the campus, our administration would have to avidly defend
the right of such recruitment
under Its "open market concept."
I draw this analogy, not to
suggest that Dow Is In the same
moral position as the German
Gas manufacturers, (let each
reader determine that for himself), but simply to point up the
untenable position to which the
"open market" concept can lead.
Specifically, the administration
Is refusing to even consider the
moral Implications of the Dow
recruiter, and It Is our position
that these implications must be
considered. The question of the
Dow recruiter must be decided
not by confusing the issue with
that of academic freedom, but
entirely on the morality of napalm. It Is Mapalm and Its current use by our government which
Is the real question behind the
Dow recruiters, and any university which refuses to address
Itself to this question may have
an open market, but also has a
very closed mind.

AN IMMODEST PROPOSAL:
For preventing the children
of college age In these United
States from being a burden to
their society, and for preparing
them to be of great benefit to
the general public:
II is through melancholy eyes
that we survey the landscape,
follow the press, and conjure
up chimerical images of events
yet to unfold. Disgruntled students
Inhabiting
campuses
throughout the nation are a fine
case in point. A reputable source
of Information contends that In a
selected two-month period last
year, 14,564 students took part
In 71 demonstrations on 62 college campuses. The Dow chemical Company, manufacturers of
Napalm, was the favorite target
of the student protestors, ac-
counting for 27 of the demonstrations. Military recruiters,
the CIA, and the Defense Department tied for second place.
In lieu of recent developments,
It would be safe to assume that
these numbers are Increasing In
an Inordinate proportion.
Ah, sweet youth, how woefully
you have misconstrued your purpose in these institutions of
higher learning, which comprise
the veritable backbone of America. A college education is intended to prepare the youngster
to tackle the evils which beset
him. How will he accept the
responsibility if he wastes his
time pussy-footing around the
door-step of an innocent recruiter
who merely desires to Interview
prospective defenders of the
status quo?
Almost everywhere, student
Muck and Chaff
by Herb Greenblatt
The overwhelming response
that I received after the first
edition of this column Indicates'
that there is no student opinion.
With his name, his permission,
and my gratitude, I present the
one viewpoint that I DID receive,
that of Adekola Odunade, a student here from Nigeria. Adekola
believes non-intervention to be
the best possible foreign policy
for the U.S. This does not mean
isolation, however; Adekola deplores American military or political interference in foreign
nations.
I not only concur, I think that
the U.S. should exert more military and political Influence within
Its OWN borders.
You say that I digress? No,
more likely our government has.
The U.S. has digressed from its
best alms.
Adekola lauds U.S. economic
and educational assistance to foreign lands. Adekola cites the
Peace Corps, library grants, and
dried milk and wheat donations
to Nigeria.
Mr. Odunade contends that
America shirks Its international
responsibility by inflicting Itself
on other nations. 'The world expects the super-powers, the U.S.
and the U.S.S.R., to be peacemakers,' but Adekola sees evidence to the contrary In Vietnam.
Adekola objects to the American presence in Vietnam. He feels
that the U.N. should have been
utilized as peacemaker before
any Justifiable Invasion of U.S.
troops. My Nigerian friend can't
see why America must decide
whether Vietnam will be 'communistic' or 'democratlcl' He
feels that both fighting and negotiation should be conducted entirely by Vietnamese.
To those who would counter
Adekola with the argument that
Infiltration and requests for U.S.
troops constitute a military obligation, I point out that infiltration by North Vietnamese troops
is commensurate and perhaps
prompted by the increment of
American 'advisors' in the battle
against the Viet Cong.
Have the watch dogs of the
w.orld become mad dogs? Have
they produced trepidation Instead of preventing It?
Adekola doesn't fear a Communist faction In South Vietnamese government. He favors a coalition government which might be
politically shaky, over a present
government with grossly lacking
moral foundations. Adekola feels
that economic conditions may be
more conducive to Communist
metliods of resolution than capitalist. At any rate, Adekola wants
the Vietnamese, not the Americans, to decide the question.
"So many souls have been
lost; now they're of no use to
America or Vietnam." Adekola
doesn't say that the U.S. Is an
aggressor, but he thinks that
America has failed to meet world
expectancies. The logic of our
involvement In Vietnam Is complex, but complexity Is not certainty.
Adekolas views on the Pueblo
Incident and national Issues will
be presented in later installments. Politically and socially
alert people write to Johnson
Hall, box 326. Why don't you?
Jewish Aggressive
the Arabs are perhaps uniquely
fitted to the titular guardians of
the Holy Places, their traditional
role and privilege In Jerusalem.
On the other hand, hundreds
of mosques In hundreds of Arab
villages In Israel have disappeared from the surface of the earth.
Some of the mosques In the north
of Israel today serve as beatnik
studios or worse. The shores of
the sea of Galilee, itself one of
the most sacred localities In
Christendom, are studded with
cabarets and nightclubs, a phenomenon observed and condemned
»a early as 1946 by the AngloAmerican Committee of Inquiry
to Palestine.
The Jordan River, the waters
of baptism, have been fouled by
he dumping of saline water into
. |ti so that today the Jordan is
stinking and fetid. In Jerusalem,
Bie Muslim graveyards at Ma"illlah containing the tombs of
generations of Muslim scholars
>nd saints have been desecrated.
Christian clergyman wearing
tnelr clerical robes have not
been spared, and at least one
such clergyman, the Warden of
the Garden of the Tomb, in Jerusalem was shot in cold blood on
June 7. Today, access to the
interior of the Acsa mosque is
denied, the five daily prayers
are forbidden and the call of
the muezzin that has reverberated for centuries without interruption, has been stifled for
the first time in history.
Mr. Eban has asserted that the
unification of Jerusalem under
Israeli authority would allow the
Arabs who were once Inhabitants
of the Israeli side to "intermingle" with the Jewish section.
In fact, Israel's obvious alms
are to dominate the Jordanian
sector botli politically and economically. The Arabs who would
choose to remain In their traditional home under Israeli supervision do not have prospects for
a bright future. But If they tear
themselves away from'thelr*Jerusalem they are faced with the
formidable task of starting from
nothing In a foreign land.
There are two distinct aspects

panted by discourtesy and violence. This Is clearly Intolerable action which not only Impedes the rights of others, but
delegates the participant to a
position not far removed from a
beast.
I recommend, therefore, that
the students return to their classrooms and libraries. Research
Into the very topics they defend
might achieve gratifying results.
They might study recent Gallup
polls taken on every continent,
and learn that 80 par cent of
the world Is opposed to U.S.
Involvement In Vietnam. They
might find the estimates of one
reputable source suggesting that
by January, 1969, the Vietnamese
War will have cost us 100 billion
dollars, 25,000 American dead
and at least 175,000 critically
wounded. A fresh look at politics
might follow the suggestion found
In the "New Republic" that the
young
protestors take the
example of distinguished statesmen like Senators Russell Long
or John Stennls, who think all
dlssentors should be Jailed, or
presidential candidate George
Wallace, who thinks they should
be shot.
They might sharpen their insight through the study of the
Kellog-Brland Peace Pact, or the
Charter of the U.N., and reflect
upon the faithlessness of their
governments In commitments to
the renunciation of war. They
should scan recent headlines:
Dean Rusk assured us of Impending victory over Viet Cong forces.
Five years later, we are still
awaiting impending victory; the
only possible gains we can hope
to achieve at this time Is a
victory of the graveyard.
Further Inspection might uncover the demands of the government for peace and order at the
precise moment of the Bay of
Pigs Invasion, and our Intervention In Guatemala and Santo Domingo. From the front page of
Sunday's New York Times we
cringe to read "recent developments In S. E. Asia Indicate to
most of the world the collapse
of the last possible pretense that
the U.S. war effort might be in
the Interest of the South Vietnamese."
It must be noted that students
are, for the most part, untrained
and inexperienced, and have hopefully not yet been Inculcated with
the morality and perspectives
which have made their elders
the epitome of moderation and
sensitivity.
Therefore, I do propose that
students carefully evaluate the
material which they have studied
and respond with a positive committment, In the event of another
visit from Dow Chemical Co.,
which might take the form of an
effective rally of 6000 In number,

Action
(Cont'd
from /'</. 7)
Places should be distinguished
from that of the sovereign right
of the Arab inhabitants of Jordan
Jerusalem to their national and
independent existence as an integral part of the Arab State of
Jordan.
Jerusalem Is not only a Holy
City with Holy Places scattered
throughout its territory: Jerusalem is also a city; it is a locus
of human residence, a place
where people live and move and
have their being. Both the fate
of Jerusalem, the Holy City, and
Jerusalem, the city, have been
influenced by the recent annexation of the city by Israel.
That Israei Is attempting to
conceal her expansionist alms
under a guise Is patent.
Surely Israel ought not to be
allowed to thus enjoy the fruits
of Its aggression. The peace
loving people of the world are
under an obligation to stand for
the rights of the citizens of Jerusalem arid must not allow them to
be subjugated to outdated rights
of conquest which have not validity In a world which seeks peace
and Justice.

5. The administration: (a) Is
capable of panicking In the face
of adversity; (b) Is determined
to prove It Is not as liberal as
we thought; (c) needed the publicity from the arrests like they
need a narcotics raid on the faculty lounge; (d) Is bending over
backwards to benefit the student
body but has a poor conception
of what the students really want,
therefore wasting much well-intentioned effort.
6. On the other hand, though,
the University is to be praised
for: (a) the President's press
conference — virtually unheard
of on any other campus; (b) an
administration still more liberal than most; (c) short lines In
the bookstore this year; (d) a faculty and administration that, In
most quarters at least, always

even If mistakes are common.

It's All Greek...
(Cont'd from l'g. 9)
and MYSKANIA, an honorary
body, the only functioning tradition left Is the Greek organizations.
Using a familiar example, I'm
happy to say that, at the Jnlverslty, Greeks are awakening to the
fact that their exlstance must be
vital, both to and among themselves, and for the University If
their exlstance Is to be relevant
to their situation.
It Is hoped that this holds true
for other campus organizations
as well. Greeks have begun and
expanded their vitality with Individual and group services to the
community, but more Important,
with revision of their pledge programs.
It is a long process, but unquestionably worth the effort. If
a person In a new position has
some idea wh»! Is expected of
him, he can assume that position and membership, changing
his actions to fit the needs of a
new situation.
A major, campus-wide complaint Is "but nobody ever told
me. . . . " If other campus organizations can take a clue from the
University's only functional tradition, fraternities and sororities, perhaps they can spend some
time at the end of this semester
In Joint meetings of old and new
members.
At these meetings the old members might explain to the new
what has been done and what is
expected, and perhaps next year
other campus organizations can
shake their aura of lethargy and
confusion and obtain a clearer
perspective In growing with and
meeting the demands of a rapidly
growing University.

Brothers (Columbia) is quite a
good album. The Inconsistency of
quality evident In their last two
releases is gone and replaced by
very solid and beautiful arrangements.
The selections blend Into each
other very nicely, giving a feeling of movements Instead of individual tunes. Also, they have
made a limited, but nevertheless
effective, rise of a wide variety
of instruments, most notably
horns and strings.
The record was made during a
period of transition with David
Crosby leaving the group and
Gene Clark returning. Crosby Is
definitely on the record, If not
on the cover, while Clarke Is
absent on both record and cover.
It Is a shame that Dave has left,
because with this album, the
sound ("Eight Miles High,"
"Mind Gardens") he has been
experimenting with has finally
crystallized. It gives the group a
more mature, relaxed, pleasantflowing music. The album will
probably go down noted as the
one with the most subtle dlfferentlon and nicest sound.

This weekend exDerlmental
films make their first appearance
on campus with thelFG's screen,
ing of an assortment of underground films from New York.
The underground cinema movement is characterized by the directors' freedom from conventional narrative modes and a
freshness of approach rarely
seen in the commerlcal cinema.
Ken Jacobs' "Little Stabs at
Happiness" is a colorful, poetic
collection of improvised scenes.
"Psyche," by Gregor Markopoulos, is the first of his many
films on Greek themes. George
Kuchar's "Eclipse of the Sun
Virgin" Is dedicated " to the
behemoths of yesteryear that
perished in Siberia."
Peter Kubelka's "Unsere Afrikarolse" has been called by Jonas
Mekas "the richest, most articulate, and most compressed film
I have ever seen." Also on the
program are three recent films
of Stan VanDer Beek:"Summit,"
"Yet," and "Dance oftheLooney
Spoons,"
In weeks to come the IFG will
be showlngShlrleyClarke's"The
Connection," Jonas Mekas'"The
Brig," and films by such leading
avant-garde directors as Anger,
Emshwlller, and Brakhage. The
first IFG underground program
will be shown both Friday and
Saturday, at both 7:00 and 9:15
in Draper 349.
The Campus Center Governing
Board will sponsor Bert Mason,
a folk singer and guitarist, as part
of the Coffee House Circuit. Mason will appear March 4-9 in
the Campus Center Rathskellar.
Performances are scheduled for

and Saturday at 7:30, 9:30, and
11:30 p.m. There will be no admission charge.
The Class of '69 Is sponsoring Mason. There will be two
additional entertainers In early
April and May, sponsored by the
other classes.
The student newspaper at
Brockport reported that Mason

The

dropped to their seasons lowest
form when they lost to New Palis,
69-66. Albany managed to lose
the lead In the last minute of the
game and suffered possibly their
most embarrassing defeat of the
season.
Albany took command of the
game In the first five minutes
and built up a 15 point lead of
24-9. Their shooting was good
and their rebounding exceptional.
However, at this point the tables
turned and It was New Palts with
the hot hand. The frosh let down
on defense while they couldn't
buy a shot on offense. New Paltz
came back to within seven points
at 29-22. From this point on the
game remained almost even, with
Albany continually holding a six
point lead.
The freshmen continued to hold
this six point lead until the final
two minutes of the game. New
Palts, using a full court press,
came to within one point and took
the lead for the first time with
one one minute remaining.
Albany still could not hit a shot
and failed to get the lead back.
Scoring: Jordan -24, Doyle -lg.
Vollnskl - 12, Smith - 8, Newmark - 2, McDermott - 2, Hebert -4, Zaremba - 2.
After this disgrace, It looked
like the season would be all over
for the freshmen. Their spirit
after the game was entirely
broken, but somehow they managed to shake the previous loss
off before the game at Cobleskill. In the opening minutes,
the frosh played In perhaps the
best form they have all year.
With adequate shooting and aggressive defense, they took a 25.
14 lead against the traditionally
strong Cobleskill club. At this
time, Jim Doyle was slapped
with his third foul, and this affected the rebounding tremendously. At the half, Cobleskill had
come back to take a 32-30 lead.
In the second half, Cobleskill
gradually built their lead to a
comfortable 15 points with only
three minutes remaining. The
frosh pressed and came to within
five points, as they have done so
often this year, but they could
not pull It all the way out. The
final score was 74-69.

a 17-3 record. Including a 14 game winning streak. This
Is the best record of any small college school in the
State, with the exception of NIT bound LIU, and yet the
Great Danes were not awarded an NCAA tournament bid!
The selection committee headed by Max Weber of
Hamilton college did not pass over Albany in favor of
another New York State school that they deemed more
deserving. What they did do was pick a New England
team for the fourth spot in the New York State play-off,
thus blatantly Ignoring a team, that has not lost since
December 16.
Instead of Albany the committee choose LeMoyne 126 and Northeastern, presently 13-8. By choosing Northeastern the committee Indicated that it felt that no other
team In New York was worthy of a bid. If the Great Danes
had been by-passed in favor of another New York State
team. It would have been disappointing and annoying, but
this manuever constitutes an outright Insult.
Doctor Werner and "Doc" Sauers have bothexpressed
their displeasure with the selection of Northeastern, a
move that Sauers termed "provincialism" due to the
predominance of New Englanders on the selection committee. How the committee can justify choosing a team
with eight losses over the Great Danes is indeed a
mystery. Northeastern does play a tougher schedule than
we do, but they have lost all 5 of their games with Unlverisity division schools, which gives them a 13-3 record
against College division schools as compared to Albany's
17-2 slate in college competition.
LeMoyne, Rochester, and Buffalo State, the other
schools invited all have at least six losses and none has
more than fourteen wins. The Great Danes probably do
play a weaker schedule than any of these teams but the
players can hardly be blamed for this. What more can
the team do? A decision like this has to be disheartening and discouraging. The Great Danes have been working
hard all year, and they have become a strong efficiently
functioning unit that has proved to be more than a match
for most of its opponents. But when it comes to a bid the
committee has said, In effect "come back next year 19-0
or better and we may look at you."
As for the Schedule, this is something that can not be
changed over night. It takes years tc build up a really
tough schedule, and while you are doing it, it seems that
you should take care not- to build your team faster than
your schedule. Sure, we played teams like Harpur, Utica
and Stony Brook, but we destroyed them all. In fact, before Wednesday night, no one had come within seven points
of the Great Danes since their last lost. Maybe if "Doc"
were not so sportsmanlike, maybe If he Just poured in on
and beat teams like New Paltz by forty instead of twenty,
we would be considered, but I would hate to think that
this is the case.

more than make up for his comparative lack of height. Last year
he led the team In rebounding,
and he looks like a sure thing to
repeat In this category this season.
Scott's 23 rebounds in one
game, against Plattsburg, attest
to the fact that he can completely dominate off the boards, but
he Is also a steady scorer who
the opposition must concentrate
on,
Last year Scott finished
second in team scoring, and his
17 point per game average will
surely give him the second spot
again this season. Another positive attribute that Is often overlooked is Scott's excellent passing, After the first twelve games
the statistics show Scott leading

assists In a single game.
Scott didn't exactly come to
Albany unannounced, and a quick
look at his past exploits show
that he has been rapidly developing toward these statistics for
quite some time.
An Ail uonierence and AllSectional pick In both his Junior
and senior years at Clifton
Springs High School, Scott was a
fine college prospect. His Initial
choice of schools was Butler
University In Indianapolis, but
after playing freshmen ball there,
he contacted "Doc" Sauers about
Albany, and soon decided to transfer.
So Scott came to the Albany
State varsity well recommended,
and Its obvious that he has already made some really outstanding contributions. However, the thing that probably
please*"Doc" moat Is the fact
that Scott will be around next
year too, for although it will be
his fifth year as an undergraduate, It will only be his fourth
year of Intercollegiate competition.

The Albany State University cagers' 14 game win streak and 17-3 overall record
apparently went for naught as the eight-man NCAA tournament selection committee
for the Northeastern Region voted this week not to give the Great Danes a bid to
the New York State division tournament at the University of Rochester, March 5-6.

The Danes will play at
Ithaca this Friday niaht and
then conclude the weekend trip
at Cortland on Saturday. They
will play a final game at Oswego
State on Tuesday, March 5. This
was a game postponed from earlier In the season.
The four teams selected by
the Regional committee are LeMoyne whose record Is 12-6,
Buffalo State (13-6), the host
school Rochester University
(13-6) and Northeastern University with a 13-8 showing.
Although Albany's won - lost
record,was the second-best In the
state, next to undefeated Long
Island University (the top-ranked
small
college In the nation),
Northeastern was picked over
them bv the committee,
Max Weber of Hamilton College, chairman of the Regional
selectlonal committee, unofficially gave the reason for
State's
rejection
as "weak
scheduling."
The committee consists of the
athletic directors or varsity
coaches of member colleges In
the Northeastern Region. Six of
the eight members are from New
England colleges.
Having found out about the rejection Just before game time
Wednesday night, the Danes played sluggish ball against an equally sluggish Oneonta State team
before coming from behind to
win,
Oneonta's Dragons went ahead
from the outset and held a 28-23
halftlme lead. They lengthened
the margin to 10 points five
minutes Into the second half.
From then on the Great Danes,
unable to work effectively against
Oneonta's tough man-to-man defense to that point, slowly cut
the margin until five points
separated them from the lead with
five minutes to play.
Sparked by the drives of Rich
Marglson and the hot outside
shooting of senior Larry Marcus,
the Danes pulled ahead with three
minutes to play and were pulling
away when the final buzzer sounded.
Marcus, In his last homegame
for State scored 12 points. Marglson was high for Albany with 22.
Tom Cannistra had 21 for Oneonta.
Marglson was recently named
to the weekly All-East squad for
the second time this season.
Averaging better than 22 points
per game, Marglson Is In strong
contention for the '0V08 ECAC
All-East team.
Playing their last game for
Albany along with Marcus were
reserve center Tim (T.J.) Jursak and starter Tom Doody. With
ten players returning, the outlook
for next year Is more tham
optimistic as the three leading
scorers, Juniors Rich Marglson

Jack Adams will be hack.

Buf. State Also Invited
The Northeast Reglonals of the
NCAA College Division Tournament are divided Into two divisions, one for New York and
one for New England, Four teams
are chosen for each division and
the divisional winners then play
to determine who will represent
the Northeastern region in the
NCAA tournament at Evansvllle,
111.
The New York State division
tournament will be held March
5 and 6 In Rochester, with the
University of Rochester as the
host team. Also participating will
be Buffalo State, winner of the
SUNYA conference. Teams Invited to the New England regional thus far Include Assumption,
American
International College, and Bridgeport. All these
teams, with the exception of
Bridgeport, are repeaters from
last year's tournament. Last
year Long Island University won
the New York State title and the
Northeast Regional and eventually went on to the finals of the
tournament at Evansvllle. LIU
could still be In the New York
Regional this year but they are
expected to move on to bigger
and better things, namely the
National Invitational Tournament
in New York City.
Both Buffalo State and the Uni-
versity of Rochester have considerably taller teams than Albany and both have played somewhat more ambitious schedules,
but the Great Danes have a considerably better won - lost record than either of the two.
Buffalo State will be coming
into the tournament with a record of 13-6, Including a perfect
slate In conference competition. The Orangemen are led
by 6-6 center Charley Davis, a
real Jumping Jack, and an outstanding scorer and rebounder.
The forwards also have good
height, as 6-4 Len Plorkowskl
and 6-3 Dave Saunders usually
get the nod. The backcourt is
held down by a pair of six - footers, John Nororyta and Bill
Koslowskl.
The University of Rochester
Is presently sporting a 13-6 slate
They too are led by a big center, 6-7 Junior Dave Taylor. The
team's high scorers, however,
are 6-3 forward Pierce Baker,
and 5-10 guard Bruce Brown.
At press time the other participants were unknown but
chances are that LeMoyne will
also be included. LeMoyne's record Is now 12-0 and Includes
an Important win over Ithaca,
but also Includes a double overtime win over Hamilton, a team

Conference Topics

Staff Reporter
James N. Whitney, assistant
professor of Mathematics at the
University, was recently Informed
that his refusal to sign the
Oath of Office (loyalty oath) has
left no alternative other than
the termination of the Illegal
payment of salary to him.
"Young people today," said
Whitney "are growing up In a
world which Is unable to solve the
most elementary human problems."
Whitney wrote this In a letter
sent to the Chairman of the Division of Science and Mathematics,
Dr. Eugene H. McLaren. "This
letter," wrote McLaren, ".will
•ketch my views on the question
of the loyalty oath."
The signing of the oath of
office Is, as Whitney said in
his letter, a legal requirement
for employment at the Unlverslty, and is therefore required
of all employes.
The Oath of Office states, "I
do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will support the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of the
State of New York, and that I
will faithfully discharge, according to the best of my ability,
the duties of the position of
to which I am
now assigned.
"I know that the oath is alegal
requirement for my Job and that
It has recently been upheld by
the U.S. Supreme Court. My basic
view Is that qualifications for any
teaching Job do not Include any
kind of oath and that an oath requirement Is only an attempt at
political Intimidation."
In reference to the unsolved
human problems Whitney wrote,
"Indeed, the. problems are becoming more critical every day
and threaten the survival of the
human race.
"In these circumstances many
fearful people foolishly believe
that young people must be protected from any contact with what
they consider dangerous ideas or
people.
"Unfortunately, people who
have been 'protected' from these
dangers seldom learn how to evaluate for themselves what the dangers to human survival are.
"If our problems are ever to
be solved they will be solved by
people who have been exposed
to them and can see them for
what they are.
"However Innocuous the New
York State loyalty oath may appear, It gives official sanction
to the policy of the closed mind."
"The circumstances In which
I am being asked to sign the oath
show clearly Its use as an Instrument of political intimidation.
"I was not asked to sign the
oath when I was hired presumably
because by a clerical error it
was not sent to me. When some
faculty members organized a
draft counseling group working
entirely within the law, a few
Members of the State Legislature wondered whether some faculty members had not signed the
