End Most Successful Season
Vuttc

by Duncan Hixon
Sparta Editor
As the winter sports season draws to a close. It Is
easy to see that Albany's two winter sports provide
quite a contrast. The Great Dane hoopsters played
superbly aU year. With Rich Marglson and Scott Price
leading the way Albany handled most opposition with relative ease, and their record breaking fourteen game win
streak attests to the fact that this was one of the finest
teams in Albany history.
Marglson and Price led the team In scoring, rebounding
and assists, but their supporting cast was also quite
impressive. Seniors Larry Marcus and Tom Doody
supplied coach Sauers with excellent outside shooting
and steady all-around play, while sophomore guard Jack
Adams supplied speed and defense, along with a deft
outside touch. Transfer Bob Wood looked very good before
he was sidelined with pneumonia, and Jim Caverly,
another transfer, became the John Havlichekof Albany
basketball, as he frequently came in to supply the spark
that was needed to ignite the Great Danes offense. Another senior, Tim Jursak supplied Sauers with a reliable
backup man at center, and transfer Stef Smiglel seems
to be developing Into a steady back court man.
In the final analysis about the only thing that went wrong
for the Great Danes this year was the fact that they were
denied the NCAA bid which they so deservlngly sought.
And the outlook for next year is Just as bright. With
Marglson and Price returning, things look good right off
the bat. Adam's return means that the top three scores
will all be back, while Jack Jordan will be coming up
from the frosh where he hit for an amazing 24 points
per game. Caverly will return and may move into the
starting lineup, (unless Sauers feels that,he is lndlspensible as a sixth man), and if Wood returns and Smiglel
continues to develop, the Danes certainly will not be
hurting.
However, wrestling Is a different story entirely.
The grapplers, who finished 1-10, suffered such a long
list of injuries and disappointments that it is slightly
unbelievable. By the end of the season the team had been
so decimated that only seven wrestlers were left and of
these only two could really be considered experienced
wrestlers.
The grapplers opened their season against three top
opponents, and due to the holidays, and the semester
break they wrestled only these three matches In the
first month. The results were disappointing, and several
wrestlers quit before the season really got under way. Injuries Included: a concussion, a pinched nerve, bruised
ribs, an Injured shoulder, and a broken nose, and all
were suffered by the most promising wrestlers. Add to
this the fact that the heavyweight wrestler transferred
at mid-semester and that four first string wrestlers had
dropped out by the end of the season, and one can see
the problems that Coach Garcia was confronted with. The
seven who remained to the end, worked long and hard,
and deserve credit for their efforts, but most of them
were very inexperienced, and the wrestling schedule is
not at ail easy. Senior Bill Clark and Co-captain Craig
Springer were the only veteran wrestlers still ready,
willing and able, by the end of the season, and the outlook for next year Is not much better, as the only steady'
wrestlers that Garcia can count on returning, are Springer
and Roger Gorham, the team's other co-captaln.
The old saying that "there's a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow" may have great
significance for the Albany State University basketball team and its ardent supporters.
Winners of their last 12 games and 15 of 18 overall, the Great Danes are in serious contention, along with four other New York State teams, for three of the four berths in the
Northeastern Regional of the NCAA Small College Tournament.
Coach Dick Sauers' quintet proved deserving of the bid this week as It tripped archrival Siena, 79-72, on Monday and trounced New
Paltz, 80-56 on Wednesday.

The freshmen hoopsters gave
Coach Mike O'Brien their farewell present In the form of a season ending victory over Union,
76-66. It was the last game of
the season for both teams, but
Albany seemed to be more up
for the occasion. The frosh outhustled and generally outplayed
Union the entire game. The game
made Albany's final record 5-14,
while Union ended the year at
5-9.
Albany took very little time
In taking the lead. They led by
ten at 25-15 after ten minutes
and expanded their lead to 13
by the half. In the second half,
the Union freshmen came back
gamely to cut the gap to eight,
but Albany wont on another streak
to again lead by 15 with only
six minutes left. However, the
game was not over yet. The
frosh let their lead wither to
five with only a minute remaining, but came back strong at the
end to assure their victory.
Scoring: Jordan —30, Smith
— 5, Doyle - 1 2 , Volinski —3,
McDermltt —7, Newmark —19,
Hebert.
The object of every freshman
coach Is to produce talent for
the varsity, This Coach Mike
O'Brien did with constant hours
of working on the fundementals
of the game with his players.
Over the year every player became better and more complete
with this practice on man-to-man
defense, boxing out, ball handling,
and the other essentials. Jack
Jordan, Joel Volinski, and Jim
Doyle have been asked to consider going to the varsity next
year. Jordan led the area In
scoring with a 27 point average
and could start next year depending on the Junior College transfers Doc Sauers gets.
As a team the frosh came on
slowly. It wasn't until the tenth
game of the season that they
could actually be called a solid
unit.
There were only two games
that the frosh were really out of,
a 39 point loss to Hartwlck and a
37 point loss to RPI. Otherwise,
the frosh stayed In every game,
although some were sloppy while
In others they looked like pros.
The ax fell heavily on this
year's team, Of the original 12
players, only six remained at the
end of the season. They played
and practiced under the most adverse conditions, and no team
deserved a new gym more than
this one. In spite of their reputation as a "good' time" team,
they did work hard all the time,
perhaps losing some they should
have won, but never because of
lack of hustle or desire,
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 at-large 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 Sauermen's chances
for their first NCAA tournament.
Buffalo State has the fourth
position automatically for winning the State University Conference championship.
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 up In
a tangle that will remain in the
memories of many for a long time
to come.
Led by junior standout Rich
Marglson, the Danes got off to
a quick 7-0 lead. Keeping the
pressure on, the Purple and Gold
raced to a 17-4 lead with 13:30
remaining and left the court at
halftlme with a 46-34 advantage.
After Scott Price hit on a
jumper to put the Danes ahead
by 14 at the start of the second
stanza,
Coach Tom Hannon's
crew went on a 30-13 tear to
lead 64-59, with about eight
minutes remaining.
Trailing 68-64,
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 his final drive, three on spectacular driving layups.

The MYSKANIA tapping tradition dates back 52 years when the
first Mykles wore tapped on the

Movlng-Up Day.
Recently, because of the size
of the Junior classes and the
abollshlon of Movlng-Up Day,
each MYSKANIA member In turn
walks down the aisle and around
the auditorium, finally stopping
by the seat of a future Myskle.

Dean Chesln, giving the address at the Inauguration, spoke
of the Impersonal nature of large

To Study Science Revolution
by Tim Keeley
Staff Reporter
At the President's Conference
with students on Monday, Dr.
Clifton B. Thome, Vice-President for Student Affairs, In the
absence of President Evan R.
Collins, discussed the creation of
a center for science and human
affairs at the University.
This new center will study the
scientific revolution and Us effect upon the people of the world.
Thorne announced the appointment of the center's director,
Dr. Eugene Rablnowltz. Iiablnowltz Is Internationally known
for his research on the effects
on the world population of the
scientific revolution.
Deadline Today
For Graduation
Applications
Today Is the June degree application deadline. All seniors,
who expect to graduate In June,
must pick up applications In the
Registrar's Office Administration Building room 120 by -1:30
tills afternoon.
If a student does not file for a
degree by today he will have to
wait until the August graduation
to be presented with a diploma.
Because the volume of work
the registrar's office will be
facing, it does not appear that the
office will be able to extend the
deadline for students who neglect
to apply for their degree today.
Seniors who have filed for their
degrees will be notified as soon
as possible If they have not fulfilled the requirements of their
program. Unfortunately, because
of the time element, most students will not be able to correct
the deficiencies In their programs.
Most all of the students caught
In this position will be forced to
take summer courses or return
for another semester.
The Initial meeting of this
group will be held Sunday on the
campus. Fifty selected people
with an Interest In this area will
be attending this meeting.
Thorne commented that this
center is a significant development on campus since It will
broaden the scope of the University and will be unique In the University system.
Other topics of discussion at
Monday's conference Included the
creation of a new committee by
the Faculty Senate of the State
University of New York and the
reorganization of the College of
Arts and Sciences.
Recently the Faculty Senate of
the State University of New York
recommended a statewide committee to be formed to study drug
education on the University campuses.
He believes that students
should seek out their professors
after classes and become better
acquainted with them through Interaction or communication.

study, not a center of political or
social activity. He draws a par-
Council Accepts Petition
On Univ.Calendar'68-'69
by Vic Looper
Staff Reporter
Central Council accepted a
2,322 signature petition requesting at least a five day intersesslon for next year. A motion
to accept the petition and send
It to Dr. Clifton C. Thorne, VicePresident of Student Affairs, was
passed 23-0-1.
The petition presented stated,
"We the undersigned students of
the State University of New York
at Albany, find it necessary to
appeal directly to the administration In order to obtain an tntersesslon of at least five (5)
school days for the 1968-69 year.
"It has come to the attention of
the undersigned that Central
Council, our representative body
has not represented us properly
In the matter of anlntersesslon."
There was considerable discussion on the petition and the
lack of an lntersesslon, most of
which was a rerun of the previous
calendar discussion. There were
a number of suggestions made,
some of which were new but most
were the same ones that were
suggested before.
One of the new suggestions was
presented by Nell C. Brown, the
Director of Student Activities and
the Campus Center. He suggested that In the future we look

second semester. Thus Christmas vacation could serve as an
lntersesslon.
Dr. Richard Hauser stated that
the University of Vermont has
this set up but Is not entirely satisfied with It. Another objection was that, In order to graduate within four years you must
occasionally take more than five
courses a semester. Under this
system you would not be able to
do It.
Some other suggestions were
signing up for courses on an
exam category system. This
would be set up so that courses
would be placed in exam categories. The biggest objection to
this was that this system would
reduce choice of courses.
Each solution Involved a number of problems and objections.
Coming back to school a week
early would force papers to be
due before Christmas vacation
and exams would be right after
the vacation. Holding Saturday
classes or shortening vacations
was also objected to.
Duncan Nixon made a motion
to move Spring Semester back a
week. This was defeated 7-13-3
because this would make the semester last until at least the first
week of June.
Most Councllmen felt that most
employers pick people on how
long they can work. Getting out
of school later would reduce the
students chance of getting a good
job.
Dr. Dumbleton stated that Faculty Senate was also concerned
about the lack of an lntersesslon
but was not able to overcome the
problem.
Part of the problem Is with
the days on which the vacation

"The College of Arts and Sciences lias been reorganized at the

deans have been appointed to coordinate this particular college.
A student present at the conference Informed Thorne that a
new student organization was on
campus. The purpose of this new
group will be to gather student
evaluations of professors and
make them available to students.
To this Thorne commented, "We

Chairman, Mlshkln stated, " I

only on MYSKANIA and the Class
of 1969. I have great hopes for
both."
He continued to say that one
of the most advantageous positions of MYSKANIA Is that It
does not have any specific duties.
This allows each successive
group to decide on a program of
action In areas where It sees
the need for Improvement.
"There are two key words for

Editor's Note: The following
letter
was submitted
in
answer to the March J communication of Senan Abdullah. Neither this letter nor
Mr. Abdullah's
is
indicative of the ASP's
policy.
The letters have been printed on the news pages solely
because of their length. After this issue we will no
longer accept letters longer
than 300 words.
.
.
Last week's ASP (March 1)
contained a diatribe from a socalled Arab American. Although
large portions were hardly Intelligible, the distortions, falsehoods and naked hatred showed
through, nevertheless.
The letter started out with the
accusation that Israel had disregarded U.N. resolutions. The
correspondent
had obscured
these resolutions beyond recognition and further chose to Ignore
the fact that the Arab nations that
have harrassed Israel for 20
years and who In May and June
1967 launched an attack onlsrael
had continuously violated the U.N.
charter Itself. Why didn't he Inform his readers of the provision
in the U.N. resolution of
November 22, 1967 calling for
secure and recognized frontiers
between Israel and the Arab
states? He failed to consider the
basis whereby for the past 20
years Jordan held not only the
city of Jerusalem but also the
whole west bank and also the
basis for Egypt's control of the
Gaza strip. Was this In accord
with a U.N. resolution? Absolutely not. Jordan and Egypt took and
held these territories In 1946
In violation of the resolution of
the U.N. on partition which declared that an Independent Arab
state be set up in those territories.
He keeps saying Jordanian
Jerusalem as if by saying it he
can deceive his readers Into
thinking that there is some
natural connection between Jordan and Jerusalem where In fact
there Is none. For twenty years
Jordan Illegally occupied the old
city of Jerusalem. All during this
illegal occupation Jordan prevented free access to the holy
places in spite of the pious statement Issued by the Arab governments that such access would be
permitted. What their statement
savs Is that fr»» access would be
permitted if Israel ceased to exist
(even if its existence had been
established by a U.N. resolution).
Not only were people of theJewlsh
faith, regardless of their citizenship, denied access but even the
Moslems and Christians of Israel
were also denied access to their
holy shrines, Even Moslems and
Christians who were citizens of
other countries could not have
free access If their passports
contained a stamp Indicating that
they had come to Israel. That
pious statement of free access
quoted by the writer of the letter
was an absolute absurdity If It
was not a deception. I don't think
that others cannot see through
the most transparent deception,
correspondent writes that
The corresi
"successive
generations of Muslim pilgrims rubbed their cheeks
In humility and supplication on
thresholds of the tombs of Abraham,
David,
Solomon and
Moses." How quaint! One might
question the reliability of his
allegations In other parts of his
letter In view of the last verse
of these quoted from Deuteronomy Ch. 34.
"So Moses the servant of the
Lord died there in the land of
Moab, according to the word of
the Lord. And he was burled In
the valley In the land of Moab
over against Beth peor; and NO
MAN
KNOWETH
OF HIS
SEPULCHER UNTO TrflS DAY."
Would our Arab-American correspondent tell us what happened
to the synagogues and other
Jewish Institutions In the ancient
city of Jerusalem? Now that the
Israelis have finally gained access, the truth can be known.
They were all destroyed and
desecrated. Jews lived In that
city from the days of David until
20 years ago when the Jews of
Jerusalem and Indeed the Jews
who lived anywhere In the Arab
world were driven out of their
homes in Bagdad, Damascus,
Cairo, and Alexandria; places in
which they had lived from long
before the time of Mohammed's
birth. I have visited Israel on a
number of occasions and have
travelled Its length and breadth.
I have not seen one Moslem holy
place desecrated and I have seen
many in good repair and well
malntalned-from Acre to Beersheba, from Abu to Tarshlcha.
The same is also true for Christian sanctuaries both In the Arab
villages and in the large cities.
The same Is true also for the
Druse community and for the
Bahal community. Israel can
match freedom of religion with
any country in the world and sur-'
passes by far the Arab countries
and their ally, Russia, with respect to the freedom accorded
to any but the dominant religion.
The Arab and Russian treatment
of Jews is a blot on the history
of those nations.
Another example of the falsehoods found in the letter is the
reference to the desecration of
the Mamillah cemetery in New
Jerusalem. I visited there last
May and there it stood undisturbed. Our correspondent could
also have visited there and still
can with an American passport
In spite of his vile hatred coward
Israel. Yet I, withasimllarpassport, could not gain entry to any
Arab country because of my faith.
When the Israelis entered the old
city of Jerusalem lastJuneitwas
disclosed that the Jewish cemetery near the Mt. of Olives had
been destroyed and the gravestones used for paving blocks
and in the construction of a
latrine. This is how the Arabs
are "uniquely fitted" as the
"titular guardians of the Holy
Places."
If one needs proof ahnut about
the .treatment accorded to Arab
Christians and Moslems in Israel
one need only consider the conduct of these citizens durinu the

Teacher Corps To Recruit Non-Ed Majors
More college graduates are
being called for service in the
Teacher Corps, It was announced
today by Richard A. Graham, the
Director of the Corps.
The Corps Is a two year old
nationwide program that provides
help for youngsters in overcrowded,
understaffed slum
schools by turning non-education
majors into poverty school teachers.
"We're interested in those who
feel a sense of urgency about the
country's social crisis; people
who are looking for training for a
tough Job," Graham said.
Unlike most graduate teachertraining programs, the Corps recruits and trains people holding
degrees in areas other than education. Teacher-interns are college graduates, four-fifths of
them with liberal arts, business
or science degrees. They receive
provisional certification when
they enter the school system.
Service In the Corps Includes
enrollment In a university for two
years of tuition-free graduate
study leading to a Masters De-
gree and on-the-job training in
poverty area schools. Teacherinterns are paid a living allowance of $75 a week, and serve in
teams of 5 or 6 under the direction of an experienced teacher
from the school system.
At the end of the two year internshlp, Corps members receive permanent teacher certification from the state in which
they have served.
Fifty-four colleges and universities are currently training
s- '« 2,000 Corpsmen. Corps
teams serve In 124 school systems in 28 states, Puerto Rico
and the District of Columbia.
About half of the school systems
are in the cities and the other
half in small towns and rural
areas. There are teams In 19 of
the nation's 25 largest cities.
New training programs are
scheduled to begin late summer
and early fall. For more Information and applications visit the

Kennedy Introduces
Bill In Senate
To Change Draft
Washington (CPS) — Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) has introduced an 18 part bill in the
Senate that provides for drastic
changes In the Selective Service
System, most of them aimed at
reducing the powers of local draft
boards.
Two of the bill's major provisions are that draftees should
be chosen by random selection
and that the youngest men should
be taken first.
It alsd provides for the establishment lof several hundred area
offices to take over the functions
presently carried out by local
draft boards. The Senator proposed that local draft boards become appeal boards for men inducted by one of the area offices.
The area-office plan was originally proposed by the draft commission set up by President Johnson last spring.
In his speech introducing the
bill In the Senate, Kennedy criticised several of the draft law
amendments passed by Congress
last June. He suggested that Congress enacted some of the amendments simply to reduce the fights
of draftees.
As one example he cited the
1967 amendment that says the
courts can't review a decision
made by a Selective Service
Board unless the registrant Involved is charged with a criminal
violation. The amendment means,
In effect, that a draftee can't
challenge a draft board's decision
In the courts until he has been
charged with violating the draft
law.
The Senator said this amendment Is an "unprecedented attempt to work mischief with constitutional rights, and it should
be stricken from the law."
Among the provisions In Kennedy's bill are the following:
Students should be given "postponements" during up to four
years In college, but that these
postponements should no longer
be granted If draftees are becoming heavily Involved in combat
action.
Occupational
deferments
should be granted by the President on a uniform national basis
rather than being left to local
boards.
Studies should be made into the
feasibility of a volunteer army,
and lntotheposslbilityofallowlng
draft age men to fulfill their service requirement outside of the
military.
Using the draft to punish protesters should be prohibited.
The term of the Selective Service Director should be limited to
six years (Kennedy would except
Gen. Hershey from this provision
—Hershey has been the dlrectoi
since 1940).
Courts should be allowed to
review draft board decisions.
Although Kennedy's bill has
virtually no change of passage,
It could generate debate on the
draft in the Senate, and thereby
lead to some kind of congressional action of the draft.
The co-sponsors of his bill
are Sens. Clifford Case(R-N.J.),
Walter Mondale (D-Mlnn.), Gaylord Nelson (D-Wls.) Joseph Tydlngs (D-Md.). All are liberals
whose support for this kind of
bill was predictable.

A Fair Game
Rules of any organized contest
are agreed upon by the contestants
before the match, and each player
is to be restricted by those rules.
This condition exists whether the
contest is a wrestling match, a
game of cards, or a student government election.
If a player is caught breaking
the rules he Is usually punished.
The wrestler looses points or forfeits the match; the card player
could get killed; the student politician can lose on both counts and
upset the governmental system.
This is why referees are needed
to watch most contests.
For their work and excellent
job of overseeing the elections we
must congratulate this year's election commission. These students
carried out the MYSKANIA, class
elections and amendment referendum In one of the most efficient,
honest, and competent manner this
University has seen.
The vigilence with which the
commission carried out the elections, (i.e. watching the polls,
securing the ballot boxes, using
voting machines, keeping account
of all of the used and unused ballots, and checking the students'
voting credentials) cannot be
overlooked.
Election commission should be
further complimented for being
able to draw to the polls twenty
per cent of the Student Association membership despite the fact
that there was only one polling
place. The crucial twenty per cent
was needed to have a decisive vote
on the Constitutional referendum.
Members of Election Commission worked day and night last
week to prepare for the election
and to insure that elections were
being carried without any unfortunate mistakes. Special congratulations should be given to Henry
MadeJ, interim election commissioner and Gary Gold, interim
assistant election commissioner.
We hope future election commissions will follow the example of
this one and prevent any scandle
from rocking the student government.
It is too bad that election commission must act as a referee
^
ct ^?E
among the candidates, but so many
other necessities are unfortunate.
When all contests are kept honest
then we know the one who receives
the most votes, makes his bid, or
Pins is one who wins. This is important to insure stability and confidence in the game.
Call To Action
After indicating to his audience
that he would say nothing profound. Dean Chesin, in his address
at the Inauguration Ceremonies
last Sunday, continued to raise a
very provocative and controversial question.
He stated at one point that the
Election Campaigns?
The suggestion has been made
several times during the elections
of this past week that there is not
enough vigorous campaigning on
this campus for elective positions.
We strongly concur in this feeling When voters come to the polls
not even sure of what elections
are being held, something Is definitely wrong.
Elections for this year are not
by any means over; in fact next
month voting for what we consider
to be the offices most Important to
the Interests of the entire student
body (Central Council and LAAC)
are to be held.
Central Council is considered, in
part, an advisory board to the administration of the University, and
as such they make recommendations on such concerns as the proposed University calendar for the
following year, the boundary line
between a peaceful and non-peaceful demonstration, the campus
alcohol policy, and other issues
Mich directly affect every student
on this campus.
tics productions, a third. Council's
certainly extremely weak policy
statement on the general question
of drugs, the present campus alcohol policy, student representation
(appointed by Council) on FacultyStudent Committees such as the
Bookstore Advisory Board, the
Committee on Residences, and the
Committee on Student Conduct, are
other possible campaign issues,
to mention only a very few.
LAAC is involved in such issues of concern as closed doors
for open houses, quad or hall social functions, sign-in and out procedures, hours for frosh, lockers
for commuters, dining facilities,
linen for residents, all with large
question marks attached.
There are issues; and campaigns
can be a great deal of fun. Rallies for candidates are far from out
of the question. Held In the Campus
Center, they might have a mixertype atmosphere, with alcohol
served If desired. Greeks may have
an edge In this field, but a group
of GDI's can match them any day
If they try.
At its meeting yesterday. Council considered events to be sponsored next year with the money
provided through Student Tax. Perhaps they adequately reflected the
student interest and perhaps not;
response to the program next year
will tell. But within this question
lies the meat for one hell of a
campaign.
However, plans for this type
of campaign must begin well In advance. We urge the Election Commissioner to open self-nominations
before the end of March to allow
for that time, and Council to ammend the Election Bill if necessary
to permit at least two weeks of
campaigning.
Similarly, question of a referendum, or rather lack of one on the
proposed
University calendar
might be another campaign issue.
Lack of adequate publicity of concerts, mixers, speeches, drama-
We would like nothing more than
to cooperate by extensive election
coverage, straw votes and other
publicity. But it depends on the student body as to whether we will
have an exciting two weeks on this
campus.
University is not the place for political and social involvement, but
for study and research. In view
of the Increasing involvement of
college students in questions of
world affairs and internal civil
rights, this is indeed a startling
statement.
Chesin continued to draw an analogy between the European and
Latin American unstable governments and political campuses and
our own stable government and
noninvolved colleges, intimating a
cause and effect relationship.
This relationship, if it is a
casual one, would seem to indicate that only a docile, or relatively uninvolved population can
produce a stable democracy.
The involvement of the university student, the nation's young
Intelligetsia, In the affairs of
national importance is, we feel,
extremely necessary for the country's future. Without such interest and action in the field of
practical politics, the leaders of
tomorrow will know very little
of the running of our government.
If college students are encouraged not to take action on their
beliefs, they will, In all likelihood, become part of the voiceless mass of the American public, uninvolved and seemingly uninvolvable.
In a nation searching for new
ideas, new interpretations and new
answers, the consequences could
be disastrous. With government
officials proclaiming everyday that
the college generation is the hope
of future America, how can an
uninvolved and practically uninitiated college population be justified.
We do not feel that a stable government requires a non-political
University. We recognize the possibility that students may become
overactive in the political sphere
to the neglect of their academic
pursuits; however, wise use of time
can negate this possibility.
Only by being active can a student continue to be informed on
the issues of the world; only by
standing up for his beliefs can
he learn to face opposition.
Abraham Flexner may be considered the father of the "mode r n " University in America, He
believed that the university must
be at once free, relevant, and "irresponsible" in its response to
social problems in its environment. "In this world rocking beneath and around us, where is a
theory to be worked out, where
are social and economic problems to be analyzed, where are
theory and facts to be brought
face to face, where is the truth,
welcome or unwelcome, to be
told, where are men to be trained to ascertain and tell it, where,
In whatever measure it is possible, is conscious, deliberate,
and irresponsible thought to be
given to the task of reshaping
this world of ours to our own liking, unless first and foremost
in the university?"
Let us keep this in mind as we
bring this theory to bear upon
a closer and more immediate issue. I have observed, of late, a
remarkable trend which seems
to be slowly Increasing in momentum as it captures followers
and alienates otherwise; loyal
friends. As a topic of conversation, we are amazed to note
that it takes precedence over the
weather or the draft (which some
consider better left undiscussed).
It concerns a subject dear to all
our hearts; the defenseless and
somewhat misconstrued Albany
Student Press.
An Informal poll taken among
the upper echelons of our student body produced a variety of
replies, ranging from "It never
did come to life this semester,
did it? Who's controlling the oxygen supply?" to a rather pointed
"Last semester I read the ASP
all through my Friday morning
logic class. Now, we collect as
many unopened copies as we can
find (it Isn't hard) and use them
to light the fireplace on Saturday
nights." It is Indeed unfortunate
that the ASP must suffer the indignities of external criticism,
as well as Internal dissatisfaction, but the most unnerving part
of all is that much of the unrest
is well founded.
Perhaps we are being unjust In
a comparison of last semester's
paper with the present copy. The
disparity of quality leaves a question: What could possibly have
prompted such a reversal?
For instance, let us examine
the front page of the March 8th
edition. . . The headline in the
upper right hand corner should
have carried the story of James
Whitney's removal from the faculty. Instead, we are informed
of the rather uneventful information disclosed at the President's
weekly news conference.
One columnist, sorely missed,
relieved himself of his duties
when the editors reserved the
liberty of inserting key words in
order to "clarify" certain points
as his opinion. There may have
been a misunderstanding of the
role of a columnist as an organ
of opinion. The unfortunate column by-lines display yet another
shortcoming of the paper. They
are not only Incoherent and often
illiterate, but redudant and dull
(I do not hesitate to Include myself in their number). A few
weeks ago, one prominent journalist remarked: " . . . but I'm
quite sure the majority of students don't want their campus
degenerating into a Berkeley,
Antloch, or Harpur." While the
prospects of such a fate do not
appear to be at all Imminent, I
would hope that a small minority
of students might welcome such a
"degeneration."
It may be argued that no relationship exists between Flexner's
philosophy of the university and
the functioning of the ASP, but
I am sure that further inspection
will attest to the validity of the
association. A college newspaper
should increase communication
concerning questions of aim and
responsibility, as well as instigate a lively exchange of ideas.
Many people are unable to consider conflicting viewpoints, unaware that this conflict creates
deeper vision within themselves
and among their colleagues.
It constantly amazes me that
many people who begin by positing the need for self criticism In
our society end by saying "but,"
and in effect canceling the admissions that any society, If it Is
to remain truly free, needs criticism. When criticism Is left to
the "vested Interests," It becomes no criticism at all, for the
vested interests will not effectively criticize themselves: they
have too much to lose. It devolves
upon those of us In less known
positions to criticize it most objectively.

Review Of The New Right Wing
by Ray Bertrand
After a week's vacation, I shall
return to what I love best —
name calling and Irresponsible
journalism. So, to whom it may
concern: Hippie, commie, pinko.
That should please my c r i t i c s . . .
I have gained a great deal of respect for Dr. James Whitney.
When a man is willing to jeopardize his Job, and possibly his
career, for a personal moral
conviction, no matter what it may
be, and then assume the consequences without wincing, he de.
serves kudos from any Individualist. One of the many troubles of
the hippie movement Is that they
can't sacrifice for what they've
been induced to believe without crying from here to Mars
about it,
I understand that the Unwashables are going to have another
demonstration against the evils
of the Armstrong Company. (The
Armstrong Company willingly
makes tires for Jeeps In Vietnam). If Vice President Ky chewed Double Bubble bubble gum,
they'd probably protest that corporatlon also . . . But If I were
a member of the Unwashables,
I'd watch it. If they keep the
pressure on, a backlash may occur, and someone could get hurt.
That, as of now, is meant to
be a warning and not a threat.
Law-abiding American citizens
are sick of getting the dirty
end of the stick, while the lawbreaking Unwashables get to dirty
up the clean end.
A proposal Is being made
among members of the left wing
in support of Governor Rockefeller, I really don't know whom
I'd vote for. I haven't been able,
as yet, to figure out the difference
between a liberal Republican and
a moderate Democrat . . . If
the peace - lovers would sober
up for a few minutes, they'd realize that they're the ones who
are causing all of our domestic
hostilities and anxieties. Or does
their philosophy only apply to
principle and not to action?
Really think white Americans
hate black Americans, hip? If
the militant Negro groups ceased
this overemphasis of hate and
let us have a short, cool summer,
I guarantee that bigotry would
be cut by a sizeable percentage.
But If they keep preaching hate,
that's all they'll get In return.
I've been labelled by a few as
a bigot because I don't want to
give anybody anything. By the
same token, anything anyone (this
refers to Mongoloids, Caucasion
and Negro) earns, should not be
stolen from him. The goal of the
left is some make, some receive
for nothing. The goal of the right
is all make, none receive for
nothing.
There was an unpublicized protest last week as an Air Force
recruiter made the scene on
campus. Another witty, clever
phrase was Invented by the demonstrators: "Dow makes napalm:
The Air Force drops it. They

they come up with any more gems
like this one, the protest movement will be set back 50 years.

Many of the schools throughout the country are given titles
which describe the major pasttimes of their students. Miami
U. and Parsons are "party
schools," and similarly, Albany
State Is a "Gross Out" school.
In making a study of the "Gross
Out," one finds it to be a twoway affair. The active participant, usually one or more males
and one or more females, are
categorized as the " G r o s s e r "
and the "Grossee" respectively. By closely observing many
"Gross Outs," one can see a
definite pattern In the procedure.
The "Grossee," participant
receiving the brunt of the "Gross
Out," establishes a good rapport
with the "Grosser." When she
feels that she is ready to be
"Grossed," she leads him Into
It by reciting one of the following ambiguous phrases, or a
phrase similar to one of these
known as the "primary five."
1. "It's not that hard Is It?"
2. "Are things coming along
all right?"
3. "Don't beat around the
bush."
4. "How's every little thing?"
5. "I've got nothing to worry
about . . . It's in the bag."
The protest against Firestone
being on campus is based on
two arguments. The first being
that they make tires Tires are
installed on Jeeps and the members of the Rat Patrol are merciful murderers.
The second argument Is that
Firestone encourages the University Community to train students
to be mindless drones of a large
corporation.
The organizers of the Dow
protest were angered when they
realized that there weren't
enough bodies in the Hall to prevent the entry of students who
wished to see the recruiter.
The Coffee House Circuit must

hold that the Marxist analysis
of our society Is the correct one
in terms of defining accurately
the alignment of opposing forces
In the U.S. and in the world.
I shall be happy to debate this
position with anyone who does not
simply mouth someone else's itltudes and will offer serious, L.
telllgent, conceived alternatives.
But I wish rather to defend particular objections raised by Mr.
Iseman's article, not to defend socialism In general.
Regarding
the
campaign
pamphlet I gave him, I note that
he quoted It accurately, if not
contexterally.
We do not support the right of
black people to achieve freedom
by any means they consider necessary to attain It. We are not
pacifists. We recognize that this
system has, through two years
of racial and economic oppression, driven blacks to the point
at which many of them feel they
can no longer endure.
If they revolt violently, this action Is in reaction to Intolerable
suppression. We unconditionally
support the right of black people
to their freedom. But we also advocate formation of an Independent black political party which
will work to gain electoral power
to upset the existing power structures, Democratic or Republican,
wherever they are. This part of
our program Mr. Iseman did not
see fit to comment on.
Similarly, we recognize that
the history of the Vietnamese for
at least 200 years has been to rid
themselves .of foreign oppressors, the French, the Chinese
(in 1946), and now the U.S.
We unconditionally support the
right of the Vietnamese to selfdetermination, the same right
we won — violently — In our
own revolution. We regard the
United States' attempt to exploit
Vietnam for its own gain — not
for the "freedom" of the Vietnamese as immoral and as one of
the attempts of capitalism to
maintain Itself.
We will continue to criticize
this society as long as It economically exploits anyone; and we
will work for the day when such
exploitations ceases to exist.
A more explicitly detailed version of our position will be offered by Mr. Fred Halstead,
S.W.P. candidate for the president of the U.S., Sun., March 17,
3 p.m. In Lecture room 3.
He will speak on "Vietnam and
the '68 elections — a Marxist
view." The best way to learn
about "troublemakers, pinks and
commies," terms, by the way,
close to libel, Is directly from
the course.

'Absurd Reference*
To the Editors:
Paradoxically, Mr. Stenrler's
brief note to the editor (despite
Ms absurd reference to the" Arab
propaganda") simply reaffirmed
the strength of the Zionist movement In this country.
For, he himself admitted that
the article would "not hurt a
Mngle Zionist in this campus."
f/t are quite aware of this fact,
/or, Immediately, you objected to
"such wide coverage" of Mr.
Abdullah's point of view In a
weekly school newspaper when
the Zionist In this country have
maintained nation-wide coverage
of their point of view, oftentlme
to the exclusion of any true facts
In relation to this problem.
In answering your question,
"who is Mr. Abdullah to warrant
two pages of headlines?" I would
like to say that as an American
citizen and as a student of this
campus, he was simply exercising his right and privilege to
present his point of view on a
controversial and sensitive topic
to the AMERICAN public.

Elnan Abdullah)
On I. Mock
To the Editor:
After reading your article, "Invisible Man On Campus," although unclear as to the author's
opinion of the extreme and
"middle of the roader" groups,
one point was made very clear
—both should be re-examine their
positions. This article Is one of
the rare cases In the ASP where
the writer made some constructive rather than destructive
criticism. It was refreshing to
read a criticism of both groups
where the author's aim was an
Insight Into the possible beneficial value of these struggling
groups rather than a hackneyed
attack on the "deplorable" excesses of the extreme groups
or the Inherent apathy of all
middlemen groups.
It Is upsetting that so little Is
written about the difficulties of
the middleman as he struggles to
"draw a little from the left and
the right." Being a middleman
used to be praised, but today
nearly everyone Immediately
jumps on this person as being
either 1) an ultra-conservative
and fervent supporter of the status quo or 2) just a sponge for
other opinions. It Is true that
many of these middleman don't
attack the problem for themselves but I believe that most
college students are trying to
create their own active middlemen positions. Because they
aren't taking part in extremely
active positions doesn't mean that
they're apathetic, but are rather
concentrating their efforts In
struggling with the turmoil and
extremes within themselves.
Thanks for a refreshing bit of
philosophy which made the ASP's
sting a little more pleasantly
biting. "I shall leave it to my
reader's consideration whether
It Is not much better to be let
into the knowledge of one's self,
than to here what passes In
Muscovy or Poland." (Spectator,

Reporter's Duty
To the Editors
A reporter's duty Is to view an
action objectively and to try to
avoid editorialising when writing
an article. I consider myself an
honest reporter and tried my utmost to keep my opinions out of
the article I wrote about the
speaker for the Student Faculty
Committee to end the War. Therefore, I am going to express my
opinions here.
For those of you who might
agree with Mr, Teague, I wish you
luck, because I don't see how any
one can be at peace with that
viewpoint of our society. I would
be afraid for my life every time
I saw a uniform. And for those of
you who disagree, It's too bad you
didn't hear the speech for yourselves. I honestly feel that I even
toned down many of his statements.
But I'm getting away from my
point. I'm not going to argue with
his statements or Ideas. That belongs on the forenslcs platform
where we would both have a
chance for defense and rebuttal.
However, I'd like to point out a
few observations that I made
while at the meeting. My first
question concerns the type of people in the Committee. In searching for a description I finally
decided that they were non-organlzatlohaT people trying to hold
an organization together. They
appear to believe that administration and organization are bad,
whereas, Individualism and dissent is good. In a way, they may
be right, but they're quite naive
about the whole thing. Early In
the meeting, I was struck by a
remark made by a member of the
:om mlttee. She had stated that
when she had attended the convention of the Peace and Freedom party that she was quite surprised to find these people fighting with one another. In other
words, these were people who
seemed to desire an end to racial
and military problems, but who
constantly fought among themselves on nothing other than
racial grounds! "Cast the beam
from they own eye first"?????
One of the faculty members on
the committee stated in his class
that we must be willing to stand
jp and raise our voices In anger.
This was his Idea of a democracy. However, the democratic
process, while allowing and even
encouraging dissent among its
members, primarily consists of
the achievement of an agreement
by the use of compromise. The
antiwar groups as well as the
pro war groups would be more
effectively aiding this country If
they were to minimize their differences and search for areas of
agreement. Protest demonstrations In most cases serve only
to infringe on the rights of others.
A democracy protects and respects the Individual and It Is a
basic fallacy among demonstrators that the right to freedom of
speech is the light to Infringe
upon the rights of others.
Come to me on my level, with
logical arguments and I Ml discuss
the point. Come to me as my
superior and accuse me of being
"cruel" and "debased" and I'll
turn my back and say nothing.
Diane Del Torro
Agreement
To the Editors:
We would like to express our
agreement with the editorial on
pre-reglstratlon. As upperclaasmen, we know that there are certain courses which are Imperative for us to take before we can
graduate.
The general Ideas expressed
In the editorial seem to assure
fairness for all, both upperclassmen and underclassmen.
We see the necessity, as upperclassmen, to have priority of
courses In our major and minor
fields. The plan presented In last
week's article takes this need of
upperclassmen Into account,
leaving general requirements
open to all. Rather than enacting
the administration's "free-forall" alphabet system, we feel
the system presented by the editorial Is more favorable.

the use of Napalm) upon all.
The SDS and Student-Faculty
Committee to End the War have
their right to freedom of speech
and expression and assembly.
They can make speeches and pass
out all the pamphlets their printing press can reel off.
But It seems only fair that they
also allow others to express their
opinion. Herein lies the core of
democracy — freedom to hold
and express an opposing view,
to seek alternatives, todisagree,
and not to be condemned for it.
Don't these people who deny
to others the freedoms they
clamor for themselves realize
they are being hypocrites? Where
do they find the right to prevent
their fellow students from exercising their academic freedom,
their freedom of decision? They
are not and should not be the
self-appointed censor for the
whole university.
A basic contradiction remains
unresolved. They mouth highsounding phrases of Democracy
and freedom. But they-practice
the methods of Dictatorship and
compulsion.
Dictatorship hands out a decision on a platter: "I, In my
superior wisdom, have made the
decision what is best for you to
do." Democracy, on the contrary, leaves the freedom to the
Individual. "It Is up to you; you
have freedom of choice, freedom
of a decision non-coerced."
They Ignore this essence, this
basic principle — freedom of
Individual choice and the right
to express a dissenting opinion—
which Is Inherent in our system
of democracy.
I propose that the Dow
Chemical Recruiter, however,
controversial the manufactures
of his company may be, has a
right to his freedom of expression, a right to obtain that information, not to be obstructed
from speaking with the recruiter
If he so desires.
It Is every Individual's duty
to weigh the pros and cons of this
situation, which necessitates listening with an open mind to
both sides of the argument. Only
in this way can a person freely
make up his own mind according
to our democratic heritage. That
Is: If It is democracy and freedom we truly wish to preserve.

Correct Mistake
To the Editor:
It was very "thoughtful" of
you to write a note about the
headline to my letter on page 2
in the March 1 Issue of the ASP.
But I felt It was not sufficient to
correct the mistake you made,
namely the word "Jewish."
It Is about time, for those who
don't know yet, to know that the
Arab-Israeli problem Is NOT a
religious one. The struggle of
the Arabs is against" Zionism"
and its "Aggressive Action" to
colonize the Arab lands Into a
Zionist Empire. This struggle Is
certainly not against the people
who believe In the Jewish faith,

On Whitney
To the Editor:
Assistant Professor of Mathematics James N. Whitney recently lost his job because he refused
a pledge of allegiance to the state
and the federal constitutions, a
reason backed by the Supreme
Court. As a result, there Is something lost by the students of
mathematics, by the student body,
by the University, even by society
as a whole. Because Whitney
doesn't want to become, In effect,
a "yesman" to the constitutions,
law says he can't keep his job,
I admit that I don't agree with
everything that he stands for, but
he still has every right to believe
In It; and he believes that our
governmental systems are not
without major flaws. His aim,
Is to create an awareness In the
student body of some of these
flaws or misused loopholes. Many
students agree with him; those
who don't will argue their views
and are thus further aware of
them. Moral philosophies of all
kinds are, then, encouraged.

Since society doesn't like dlssentlon (although It Insists the
opposite), many students are
further affected in their academic
education by the loss of a valuable teacher. Had Whitney agreed
to sign the loyalty oath, he would
have been tired on the grounds of
violation of that oath. So society
has a damaging legal way of
stifling dissentlon.
Whitney may or may not be
right in his views, but he should
still be entitled to express them
without such a binding restriction. No teacher should be required to sign a loyalty oath.
Although I'm not entirely sure I
have presented my position
accurately or adequately, I don't
hesitate to support Whitney In
this particular action and In his
right, even as a teacher, to dissent. It Is entirely unfair to many
people, directly or Indirectly Involved that such a law as forcing
the "loyalty" of teachers should
exist.

One can assume that many
If not most Americans concluded their viewing of "The Rise
and Fall of the Third Reich"
with a horror-tinged sense of
conplacency. After all the Germans are no longer killing Jews
(one must overlook the fact that
the main reason for this new
German tolerance might well be
that they have already successfully finished the job, in Europe
at least) and It did not happen
here. Americans might oven feel
with some pride, that we wont
to war to save those persecuted
minorities from Hitler.
The sad fact Is that the victims of German tyranny did not
at all figure into Washington's
calculations when we entered the
war. President Roosevelt knew
of Hitler's planned genocide but
would not allow this knowledge
to be publicized. Roosevelt felt
that he could not permit the
American people to believe that
we were going to war to save
a
few million Jews, of all
things. Nor could he allow Jewish refugee children to immigrate
here and upset the labor market.
It Is a euphemism to say that
America stood by while six million died; America might well
have signed their death warrant.
The reasons for this are relatively simple. The State Department Is today, and always
has been unashamedly antiSemetlc. It does not matter who
occupies the White House; the
State's attitude Is unchanging. It
has consistently foisted upon this
nation an anti-Jewish policy.
And yet the Israelis have no ally
In the State Department. The men
at the Department of State seem
to buy wholesale the hatefilled
Arab propaganda.
And so seemingly does Richardson Rice (Dean of the School
of Social Welfare), Ryland Hewitt
of the Speech Department and
Paul Bruce Pettlt of Speech and
Dramatic Art. These three are
among eleven faculty members
who have banded together to provide "a small voice to the voiceless" (J.e. the Arabs).
Though they claim to be nonpartisan, they charge the U.S.
with being callous to the needs
of the Arabs. Rice was quoted
in the "Times-Union" as saying that he is appalled at the
way Americans "bleed for the
Israelis." He said that he will
not feel "compassion at the expense of a larger people." Thus
the brilliant Rice theory that
might does make right. And one
does not expect him to "bleed"
for the victims of Auschwitz,
Dachau or Bergen-Belsen.
I suppose that It Is relatively
easy for Rice, Pettlt or Hewitt
to accept the Arabs somewhat
insane world view. They each
spent a great deal of time In
the Arab capitals and were fed
a steady diet of anti-Semitic
propaganda by their hosts. But
one does expect much more from
any individual who makes some
pretense to objectivity.
We must not forget that the
Arabs have for twenty years
warned the civilized world that
they were about to "crush and

Now Sec Here.... Give Me Back My Lands,
You Didn't Follow The Rules
You Were Supposed To Lose!!!
Now at one time anti-Semitism
was quite fashionable. Today It
Is no longer and the semantlclsts of hate have come up with
a phrase more palatable In the
post-Hitler world. The Jewhaters now call themselves "antlZionists" but the product Is the
same. This antl-Zlonlsm was
manifested last week when the
State
Department
censured
Israel for destroying the home
of an Arab saboteur In Jerusalem. However, never during
the past twenty years did we
hear a word of rebuke from
the State Department as Arab
guns opened up on Israeli border settlements or as Arabs desecrated Holy Places In Jerusalem. Never a word of protest
when Arab plans to utilize gas
chambers on the civilian population of Israel were unveiled after
the War, During the Six Day War
when 94 per cent of the American
people strongly supported our
only ally in the Middle East,
the State Department was "neutral in thought, word and deed."
This despite the well-known fact
that during the Second World War
the Jews of Palestine fought In
the British Army while the Arabs,
under their beloved Grand Mufti,
backed the Nazis with a zeal
Arabs only display when they
see the prospect of killing unarmed Jewish civilians at hand.
demolish Israel" and that their
slogan has been "Perish Judea."
The Arabs are not talking about
border readjustments. They are
talklne about eenocldo. Let us
not forget that the Arabs have
disregarded every Armistice
agreement and that even today
they refuse to negotiate.
The Arabs have Ignored every
International convention on the
protection of Holy Places. Whereas Israel, In the retaking of
Jerusalem, suffered her heaviest
losses because her troops were
not permitted to use the artillery
fire that might damage religious
shrines; the Jordanians used
tombstones from the Mount of
Olives to build walls, they used
Jewish holy sites as latrines.
Whereas Israel grants Christian,
Moslem and Jew equal access to
Holy Places, the Jordanians during their Oiow perm enently ended)
occupation of the City of David
permitted no Jew access to the
Holy Places of his faith.
The Israelis have regained
their City of Jerusalem and because of this, it Is open to all
who wish to worship there. Once
more, this most holy of cities
Is an International one.
Yet our State Department calls
for Israeli withdrawal. This Is
adequate enough evidence of Its
anti-Semitism. The fact Is that
anti-Semitism and antl-Zlonlsm
are one and the same. The
anti-Semites policy is to kill
Jews; the anti-Zionists merely
won't allow them to live. Those
who deny Israel's right to exist
are, in fact, calling for the reactivation of the gas chambers
and they well know It.
Let the anti-Semites stand
warned. We see through your
camoflauge; we see your hate
propaganda for what It is. And
the Arab students who are utilizing their stay In this country to
propagandize for the vicious
regimes of their home states may
note that they are here at the
sufferance of the United States
government.
They might better devote themselves to the Improvement of the
conditions of their fellow Arabs
at home than to fomenting racism
and deceit here. Despite any encouragement they might derive
from the attitude of the Department of State, they might remember that the bond of friendship
between the oldest democracy in
the world and one of the newest
has existed for twenty years and
will not be broken even by the
well-financed propaganda lobby
of the so-called Arab League.
A funny thing happened to us
the other day which we thought
we would relate to you.
We were sitting in the snack
bar arguing as usual with some
of our friends about the war,
when this guy comes in and
tells us that he has all of the
answers.
He was wearing long blond
hair, a beard and sandals.
"Well," we said, "what do
you suggest? That we just stop
fighting?"
"Thou shalt not kill," he said.
"That's nice to say, but how
is one supposed to act against
nasty Communists?"
"Love thine enemy," he said,
"Be kind to he who doth thee
wrong."
"Sure, sure," we chorted,
"but what kind of policy is that
to take against a force which
aggresses against our troops and
ships in Vietnam?"
"Ye have heard that it hath
been said 'An eye for an eye,
and a tooth for a tooth," he
said, "but I say unto you that
ye shall not resist evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the
right cheek, turn to him the other
also."
I'd like to recount for you
an exchange which was recorded on one of the men's room's
walls in the Campus Center last
week; a written excerpt from
the apparent thoughts of a hawk
and a dove.
"Why don't people ever protest against Viet Cong terrorIsm and merciless killing?"
"Because we can't stop It."
"That justifies It?"
This exchange makes a subtle
point against the people who only
protest against our Involvement
In Vietnam;
they are Ignoring half of the present situation.
This Is a convenient way of saying, "I know what I think, don't
confuse me with the facts."
What can we do about this?
There are many things which we
can do, and the present situation Is pointing out the fault
of our way of solving the problem today. The future lies not
In withdrawal and placation,
World War II showed that, but
nor does It He in the fight for
total victory. The answer Is
hidden in people to people negotiation, contact between Individual ways of life on a face to
face basis.
In the above manner, the principles on which this country is
based can best be carried out;
equality between all men, freedom to do what you wish so long
as It doesn't Interfere with their
right for other people, and all
inherent freedoms in the above
— including peace and goodwill
towards your fellow men.
Communication
Just about breaking out into
total laughter, one of us screamed out, "But these commies
threaten our way of life! A commie takeover means the end of
the American standard of living! Color TV, cars, apple pie!"
"Ah," he said, "It shall be
easier for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter heaven."
At this point, someone threw
a coke at him yelling, "You must
be one of those peaceniks!"
"Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called
the children of God."
"You ought to be thrown In
Jail," we screamed hysterically,
"you treasonous SOB. Along with
the rest of those hippie troublemakers who refuse to serve their
country!"
"Blessed are those who suffer
persecution for righteousness
sake: for theirs Is the kingdom
of heaven."
It was at this point that one
of the crowd which had gathered
around stepped forward. Before,
members of the crowd had
limited themselves to yelling
"Bomb With Ban," and "Kill
For Peace." The one who came
forward said he was from a
group called Youngsters for
Freedom.
"We are different than you
liberals," he said. "We have the
ability to think logically and objectively," That was when he
hit the long haired guy In the
mouth. Just then everybody joined In kicking and hitting the funny
man, who just moaned and refused to fight back.
"You weak swine," he was
called.
"Blessed are the meek; for
they shall Inherit the earth,"
were the final words which he
whispered just as the last nail
was driven Into his palm.

Speaks At Page
The School of Library Science
In conjunction with Faculty-Student Association will present
Jean-Luc Godard showing and
discussing his latest film "La
Chinolse" on March 21, 1968 at
7:30 p.m. In Page Hall.
Godard, who has been described as the most movie-conscious
of directors, was born In Paris
In December 1930. He studied at
Nyon (Switzerland), the Lycee
Buffon (Paris), and the Sorbonne
(Certlflcat d'Ethnologie, 1949).
His first articles on film appeared In 1950 In Gazette du
Cinema and In 1952 In Cahlers
du Cinema (under the pseudonym
of Hans Lucas). While working on
a dam construction site In
Switzerland, Godard shot his first
film, "OperatlonBeton,"inl954.
The Juilliord String Quartet will perform tonight at 8:15 p.m. The Quartet is being spon
od by Music Council.
The Jimi Hendrlx Experience
And The Beat Goes On
by John DoMarco
I mean physically shook. I think
I'm quite safe In assuming that almost everyone on this campus
has,
in one way or another,
"blown their mind." But, I doubt
if many have ever felt their bones
shake. Well, that Is the secret
of one of the most powerful groups
in pop music today, the Jlml
Hendrlx Experience. It's a primitive movement that literally
shakes the ground you stand on.
Circa 5,000 eyes, hungry for
the sight of something about to
come out from behind the curtains. It seemed that they were
Just filled with madness, and
waited only for a sign from the
man on stage to start a massive
riot. All eyes were now focused
upon the striking figure in the
black stovepipe pants, a guitar
strung from his slight shoulders,
a Spanish dancer's hat covering
his wild roots, and a cigarette
clinging to his lips.
Coolness, If ever anyone was
cool. "Ye all dig," the figure
demanded. "Yeah," echoed some
2,000 times In the hall. "Fire."
Suddenly I was experiencing the
Jlml Hendrlx Experience, a very
much alive and amplified trio
that has stationed Itself securely
In the higher echelon's of today's
pop scene.
"Let me stand next to your
fire," cried the lyrics of their
first number, "Fire," a song
that left the audience burning.
The whole place now belonged to
Jlml Hendrlx, and he knew It.
Immediately the group went Into their next song, "PleaseCrawl
Out Your Window," a Bob Dylan
song, done In a unique manner
by Hendrlx, with a great deal of
amplification.
Among shouts of requests, tne
Experience next performed "Hey
Joe," a well known tune that was
Incidentally their first single.
Then,
came the real show
stopper, "Foxey Lady," a harddriving song, with a pulsating
sound and beat that never seems
to stop working on the listener.
Hendrlx began to show his stuff.
To describe the exciting guitar
playing style of Jlml Hendrlx Is
no easy task; you almost have to
see him to believe Its possible.
It's like a little dog going after
a big bone, as Hendrlx seems to
spring attacks upon the guitar,
seizing strongly, and then letting
go. His left hand seemed to
possess magic as It swept across
the strings, electrifying the audience.
His style is unique, and It
takes a little time to realize that
From 1956-1959 he was a regular contributor to Cahlers du
Cinema, one of the leading voices
in the group of young critics
(which Included Francois Truffaut and Claude Chabrol) who became directors and caused a
revolution In the French film In-
dustry. Godard is still an
occasional contributor to Cahlers
du Cinema.
Since " Breathless," which was
shot In Paris In the late summer
of 1959, Godard has made 14
feature films.
A film critic at the Venice
Film Festival writes that "La
Chinolse," which will be shown
by Godard in Page, "eclipses all
other films. It makes them appear
dull, routine, obsolete. Its brilliance Is moreover not due to some
aesthetic or technical Innovation;
simply,
what we must call
Godard's "manner" finds here a
certain completion and fullness."
Raymond A. Sokolov from
Newsweek reports that "Godard's work is extremely Important. For younger directors
and audiences as far away as
Tokyo, Godard's anarchic, unsettling films have captured the
racing pulse and raveled pattern
of chaotic time. And with any
luck, Godard will have many more
years to practice the art about
which he has said Is truth 24
times a second."
every part of Hendrlx Is tied up
In the guitar hanging from his
wire frame.
It's not unusual, for Instance,
to see Jlml head Into a lead part
stroking with his teeth, or suddenly cross-over his fingering
position, or run his elbow up
the neck, producing definite
chords, or even to see him play
under his legs or behind his back.
With Jlml Hendrlx anything Is
possible.
The other members of the
group, drummer Mitch Mitchell,
and bass player Noel Redding,
are not to be overlooked. They
provide the driving foundation
for Hendrlx's unique guitar, and
were It not for them Jlml might
not be able to obtain hls"speclal

Intermedia Brings Paik and Riley Tom., Tues.
INTERMEDIA '68 begins its
second week of programs with
performances by two Internationally known composers and a mixed trio of writer-director, minister - composer, and choreographer-teacher.
INTERMEDIA '68 is sponsored
by the New York State Council
on the Arts. The State Univ. of
N.Y. is presenting this series
of arts programs during the
month of March in order to expose new experiments and theories in all the art forms to a student audience.
Nam June Paik, who will perform In the Art Gallery of the
Fine Arts Building at 8 p.m.
on Saturday, March 16, Is a
Korean-born composer with radical, new ideas. In his compositions he has Invoked the theories
of John Cage, Norbert Wiener,
and Marshall McLuhan.
Paik believes that music must
blend with art and become visual particularly through the use
of electronic equipment. The
cathode ray tube will replace the
canvas. Someday artists will
work with capacitors, resistors
and semi-conductors."
Paik has also stated that "VarNam June Paik, Korean composer, will appear tomorrow iability and Indetermlnlsm is as

performance scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, at 8 p.m. Riley
Is a Master's graduate In music
of the University of California at
Berkeley.
The music of this revolutionary composer "deals with (a) development . . . built on related
patterns through the use of live
instruments and sequential taped
repetitions presented In live concert situations."
In the summer of 1967, Riley
was commissioned by Swedish Radio to compose and conduct a work for teen-age orchestra. Following this, he toured
Scandinavia. His most recent appearance was at the Philadelphia College of Art In the performance of an BVs-hour "AllNight Flight."

American String Trio
Made Resident Artists
The American String Trio,
Marvin
Morgensteln, violin,
Karen Tuttle, viola, John Guberman, cello, have been appointed
as a resident artist ensemble
and members of the University
Music Department. They will present concerts and lecture demonstrations on campus, teach
strings and chamber music, and
offer clinic workshops, concerts,
and demonstrations in schools
and colleges.
The American String Trio originated In 1965 as a part of the
Lincoln Center Concert, Program, functioning both as a unique
chamber ensemble and as the
nucleus of a chamber music program such as the one hero at
Albany.
The Trio recently completed
its second annual tour of Now
York State performing In a largo
number of schools and colleges.
Their concert schedule for the
winter season 1906.67 endodwlth

Included major appearancoa In
Now York and elsewhere, soveral
television broadcasts and the preparation of recordings, The programs of the American Trio Includo many contemporary compositions as well as the rich
traditional repertoire of the
string trio. The Trio has commissioned a work by Claus Adam
for one of Its New York concerts
next year.
Marvin Morgensteln appeared
as violin soloist with the Mozart
Chamber Orchestra under the
baton of Robert Scholz at the age
of fourteen. Since then he has become a leading chamber music
artist. Morgensteln has often appeared as a violin soloist, both
in recital, and as soloist with
various
symphony orchestras
throughout the eastern United
States.
Karon Tuttle has played solo
performances with the Schneider

Pop culture Is frightening
sometimes, but if you think It
has a fair chance to take over
the world, you'll like Peter Watkins' "Privilege" (Cinema Art
Theatre), which, like his earlier
"The War Game," Is set in the
Britain of the supposedly near
future. It is about a pop singer
who In the hands of the Establlshment becomes a tool for drawing off public energy which might
otherwise trickle off Into more
dangerous channels — like nonconformity.
Again like "The War Game,"
"Privilege" Is structured like a
documentary. The characters relate incidents directly to us upon
prompting by an unseen narrator.
Much use Is made of handheld
cameras Interspersed stills, and
available light, though the handling Is slicker than In the previous
film. However, I don't think this
narrative style works too well.
First, the documentary approach
is used Inconsistently, Sometimes the characters are aware
of the camera's presence; other
times, during high - level executive meetings and lovemaklng
scenes, we know the documentary
camera could not be around,
and the Inconsistency Is jarring.
Moreover, the sore spot of "The
War Game"— heavyhanded narration — festers here. For example: "All that Steven Shorter has
Just done has been to express
the desire to be an Individual.
But that, In an age of social conformity, can be a social problem," True enough, but such Inslstent obviousness makes one
wonder whether the "Documentary" contrivance has not made
for too easy a solution, to the
director's obligation to rovoal
theme and characters In some
depth.
The opening sequence promises some excitement. Stove
Shorter's return to England is
greeted by Britain's first tickertape parade. Then a mob of
shrieking teeny - hoppers watch
Stovo in a grotesque skit In which
ho Is beaten and Imprisoned by
cops, all the while pleading In
song for help and sympathy. AI
the closo of this ritual Stovo Is
whisked off to a dressing room
whore the offscreen narrator
points out tho principals among
Stevo's retinue.
Unfortunately, this opening
gives tho whole show away, and
from hero on Watklns merely
rings variations — some Ingonlous, most tiresome — on the
situation he has already displayed. There Is no real plot
propulsion; the depletion of
Steve's desire to break out of his
role Is sketchy, rambling, and
repetitious.
The stylistic flatness and the
plot-paralysis yield characters
which are glossy, shallow cliches
of contemporary types — the nonconformist girl artist, the showbiz parasites, the hip clergymen.
And the fllmslness of the interpersonal relations Is reinforced
by the embarrassingly Inadequate
performances of everybody. Now
Paul Jones' playing of Steve
Shorter is crucial: he should
ooze charisma, yet still bear
marks of an entrapped soul. Jones
gives us the last half, all right
— lots of soulful stammerings
and tight-lipped wincing — but
the charisma Just Isn't there.
During his big acts, he lacks
even the Impassive attractiveness of, say, the Yardblrds
in "Blow-Up."
"The War oame" showed that Watklns has talent; now
let's see him put It to work in
a film In which he has no social
or political ax to grind.

Shaving Cream And Junk
by Harriett Lieser
and Lynn Edwards
The airport looked no different
that It ever doea on a weekday
afternoon. There were relatively
few people at Gate 7; a few
businessmen were on their way
to Boston but, aside from one
or two photographers and reporters, that was It. An American
Airlines flight from Detroit was
In and the passengers started exiting from the plane. Along with
die other travelers, six young
men, looking very fatigued but
excited, left the plane. They
were Ted Bluechel Jr., Brian
Cole, Russ Glguere, Terry Kirkman, Larry Ramos, and Jim
Yester—better known as the Association, one of America's best
singing groups.
After a tew minutes of flashbulb popping and hand shaking,
the boys very calmly entered
the airport and headed toward
the baggage area. Drummer Ted
Bluechel Jr„ the member of the
group that fans refer to as "the
cute one," stopped to talk to us
for a few minutes.
He began to speak about the

group and Its image. He feels
that some individualism tends to
become lost if one becomes part
of "a group." "It's difficult to
throw six fellows together and
not have them project some sort
of Image." To help avoid this,
the members of the Association
try to appear as separate individuals when performing. They
tend to wear the same type of
clothing, but refuse to wear a
"uniform." Wearing the same
outfit can give rise to another
problem for "In the event, as
an example, that we plan to wear
grey suits and one guy splits
his grey pants, we're messed
up."
The Association cares a great
deal about the type of performance that they give. "Up on
stage we definitely think a bit.
We draw upon a feeling to each
guy in the group and to each
one in the audience. . .we try
to project a feeling." They get
a thrill out of doing concerts
for college audiences for they
enjoy "communicating" with college students. But, as Ted said,
they "can't Just go out and perform. First you've got to get
'hot'; it would come off lakadaslcal If you didn't." They also
feel that the timing of a show is
very important. "If a guy gets
hung up tuning, It will kill the
pace." To change the pace a
little, and re-tune their lnstru-
ments, the Association tends to
break up their concerts with
short skits.
The boys had been very polite
and courteous and spoke with a
high degree of intelligence. It
takes a group like the Association to make one forget about
some of the second and third
rate singing groups that take
advantage of the public and give
such a poor picture of today's
youth.
They were about to leave and
pick up their baggage (Ted says
he carries two suitcases, "one
with stage clothes and one half
filled with Incense, fruit, shaving cream and other Junk") when
Ted answered a question about
the future. He began by speaking about today's gurus. He said
"They do a lot more good than
some other people. They have
their 'shtick.' A lot depends on
the guru." As for tomorrow,
"It always depends on the youth."

The Luck Of The Irish
Doesn't Aid These Men
by Butch McGuerty
In the early hours of Saturday
morning, a small band of determined men pace toward an engagement with destiny. Steadily
they proceed over the podium,
into the bowels of the Campus
Center, into the bowling alley.
For It Is in the bowling alleyways that they will be tested by
the unrelenting foe. Casting off
their Jackets, there they stand,
a force to be reckoned with, the
Irish All-Stars.
The record of these bowling
heroes testifies to the steadyness of their game, 0-56 for the
first semester; 7-21 for this
semester. But these seven points
were foul, they were begotten
when the All-Stars had to step
aside, one of those misty mornings and receive a bye. The
Irishmen refuse to recognize the
existence of these foul seven
points.
The men who bowl on such a
team represent, in every way,
the potential danger that they
possess.
The lead-off man Is Captain
BUI Blain, a horrendous bowler
of ill-repute. Bowling through
the purple haze cast in front of
him by his adversaries, he sets
the example that all the AllStars are happy to follow. Bowling
a powerful 123 average against
the perennial favorites, the Bad
News 5 and Potter Club, he can
usually be seen slumped in his
chair awaiting his next ball, or
leading the team in obscenities.
The next man to throw Is the
best defensive player on the
squad, Phil (Fuzzy)Galvin. Bowling every Saturday, his average of
123 Is the complement of Captain
Blain's, helping to set the torrid
All-Star pace. Considered by
most observers the best defensive player, Fuzzy continually
harasses the opposition with
stellar shouting tactics, driving
opponents Into a manical frenzy.
Third on the throwing list Is
the sparkplug of the team, the be-

Led By Clark, Springer
loved Moravian, Butch McGuerty.
A bowler whose absence Is often
felt, his average of 147 provides
a constant threat to the opposition. Forever encouraging (and
amazing) his teammates with
Moravia stories, his courage and
determination help the All-Stars
over the tlrjht spots that frequently develop.
The clean-up, and strongest,
man on the team, is Danny Moran.
Throwing right and left hooks
with equal vigor, he knocks the
pins many times using the one
ball trick (using one ball Instead
of two for ten pins) to obtain the
highest average, 149. Frequently
seen slumping with Captain Blain,
Danny proves his mettle time and
again, delivering for the AllStars In the clutch. Forever quoting the encouraging phrase, "Victory is sweat," he is the AllStar's defense against the secret
weapon, and Is always on hand
for the ritual of the ripping of
the score sheet.
The fourth man, the best allaround bowler on the team, is
Mike Brennan. Idolizing Moran
and Galvin, Mike possesses a
sizzling 135 average and Is continually falling back on defense to
assist the stalwart Galvin. Always seen with a silly grin on his
face,
he Is frequently heard
giggling over an opponents poorly
thrown ball.
Filling out the near perfect
roster of the All-Stars are two
individuals that need no Introduction, Jim Healey and Mickey
(Thing) McMahon. Healy Is continually pressed Into service to
replace the ailing Blain, Moran,
McGuerty, or Brennan, helping
the AU-Stars with a 120 average
and good defensive bowling
tactics. Thing Is also a valuable
possession as he holds a .000
average and completes the
roster.
To the Irish AU-Stars, congratulations
on your past
triumphs, and good luck In the
future for the men with stars on
their sleeves.

NEW PATTERNS OF UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION

Williams Claims Two Spots
THE WOMENS SWIM CLUB OPENED the new pool with a
splash on Saturday.
Williams Tough
Williams defeated Albany, 7369, In the second game of the
season, with Untereker scoring
28 and Healy 26. Untereker, a
6-foot-7, 220 pounder, scored
mostly from the corner, while
6-3 Healy, an All-East selection
last year and captain of the
Ephmen, tallied from the outside and on drives.
Reed, probably the quickest,
best-shooting guard Albany saw
all year, led the voting, although
his selection was not unanimous.
The 5-8 jump shot artist scored
the most points of any Individual
against Dick Sauers' crew this
winter, canning 30 In a 91-72

Hoopsters End Season
Tha Albany State mermaids
edged Potsdam, but fell to
Skidmore last Saturday, as they
swam the first event in the new
pool.
Ellen VanNortwich and Ronnie
Sharp were Albany's only first
place finishers, as both raced
to school and pool records. VanNortwich captured the 100 yard
free style in a time of 1:11.5,
while Sharp copped the 100 yard
breaststroke in 1:25.9.
Ann Rohrbach also scored well
for the mermaids, as she finished second In both the 100 yard
breaststroke and the 100 yard
Individual Medley. VanNortwich
also gained a second, as she
sped to another school record,
with a time of 31.2 in the 50
yard freestyle.
The freestyle relay team of
VanNortwich, Betty Wepy, Carol
Frew, and Barbara Hicks also
took second. The 200 yard Medley team of ReneeKrinsky, Rohrbach, Sharp, and Wepy was third,
• as were Wepy in the 50 yard
free, Hicks In the 50 yard back-
stroke, Sharp In the 50 yard
butterfly, and Krlnsky in the 100
yard backstroke.
The final scores in this triple
dual meet were: Skidmore, 51;
Albany 36, Albany 48; Potsdam
45, and Skidmore 51; Potsdam
36.
Meanwhile,
the
women's
basketball team closed Its season
by splitting a double-header with
Oneonta. In the first encounter
the girl's last minute comeback
was thwarted, as Oneonta came
out on top 46-37. Leslie King and
Carol Perkins led Albany with
13 and 12 respectively, but Oneonta's Elaine Sortlno was unstoppable as she dumped In 30
points.
In the second game Albany
came storming back to score a
43-24 win. Jean Herrick led the
way with fourteen, as she made
her last performance a memorable one.
Coach Bobbl Jordan's team
ended with a 6-7 record but most
of the girls are returning, so
they hope to improve on this
mark next season.
tereker one vote behind Reed,
helped Ithaca snap Albany's
school-record winning streak at
14 games. The 6-2 junior came
off the bench to score 21 points
In the 77-69 Bomber triumph.
Central Connecticut was the
last team to defeat Albany, prior
to the Danes' long winning skein,
eking out a 91-89 decision in
mid-December.
Dickenman, a 6-4 junior, led
the way with 22 markers and turned in a strong rebounding effort.
No Repeaters
Other players who received
more than one vote In the postseason balloting were Ed Eberle
and Doug Bernard of the University of Buffalo, Jim Robinson
of RIT, Ed Shuster of New Paltz,
Bob Voss of Hamilton and Larry
Layton of Central Connecticut.
Eberle and Bernard were named
to last year's All-Opponent squad,
but there were no repeaters on
the 1967-68 club.
Co-captalns for next year were
also elected at the post-season
meeting of the varsity players
and will be announced at the
Winter Sports Banquet on March

Rich Margison Named by ECAC
Second Ever To Make All-East
Rich Margison, Albany State's
Mr. Basketball, has done it again.
This week he was named to the
ECAC Division II All-East team
for the 67-68 season. Rich was
named to the ECAC's weekly
teams on three occasions, and
thus garnered enough points to
be among the four guards chosen
to the ten man team.
Rich is the first junior In
Albany history to gain All-East
recognition. Dick Crossett was
named as a senior.
Margison certainly had outstanding credentials, ones that
practically could not be ignored.
He led the team In points per
game with 23.4, in field goal
percentage with an excellent57.2
per cent, and in free throw percentage with an equally fine 80.5
per cent. He was also second to
Scott Price In the rebounding and
assist departments, but the real
hallmark of his game is consistency, as he has now played
In 43 varsity ball games without
once falling below double figures.
Rich also did pretty well In
comparison with his predecessors. His 195 field goals set an
all time record, eclipsing Don
Cohen's old record by two. His
514 points place him second on
the all time scoring list, while
his point per game average Is also
second best in Albany State history.
Tile all-time scoring mark Is
also within reach, as Rich now
stands fifth on the all-time scoring list with a total of 879. Don
Cohen is the present leader with
a total of 1305.
With his fluid drives, and deadly outside Jumper Rich will be
even tougher to stop next year.
Few if any defenders were able
to hold him man-to-man this season, and this In itself is a special
contribution, for teams are often
forced into unfamiliar defenses
simply In an effort to stop Rich.
Coach Sauers certainly must be
more than happy to have such a
fine all-around ballplayer returning, and with Margison leading
the way again, chances are that
the Great Danes will have equal
success next season.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF JtEW YORK AT ALBANY
Latter
Memorandum to Students and Faculty:
A special committee of the Undergraduate Academic
Council was appointed in January 1967, to undertake the
task of relating the needs of undergraduate education to
a world of accelerating change. On several occasions the
special committee met with a larger group which was
called the Student-Faculty Seminar. The results of the
committee's endeavors are presented In this special report on "New Patterns in Undergraduate Education."
The report has already undergone several preliminary
screenings. The Initial draft was reviewed and criticised
by the join Student-Faculty Seminar and by the Undergraduate Academic Council. Students and faculty will have
a further opportunity to review and comment on the report
at a hearing which will be held at the Campus Center on
March 20. 1968 at 8:00 p.m.

The Historical Context
"One of the great phenomena
of the human
condition
in the modern aye is the
dissolution
of the ancestral
order, the erosion
of
established authority,
and having lost the light and
the leading, the guidance and the support,
the
discipline
that the ancestral
order
provided,
modern men are haunted by a feeling of being
lost and adrift, without purpose and
meaning
in the conduct of their lives. The thesis
which
I am putting to you is that the m«</.,~. . - . - J .
which

must be filled, and that the universities
must
fill the raid because they alone can fill

-Walter
Lippman
(from a statement
delivered
at the
fiftieth
annual
meeting
of the American
Council
on
Education,
October, 19117, Washington.
I).('.)
In each era of Western civilization certain institutions and ttfeir buildings arrest our attention because
of their conspicuous role In human affairs. In the Middle Ages the Christian church and its embodiment in
cathedral and cathedral city occupied such a position.
In the Baroque period ecclesiastical institutions gave
way to court and palace and the pomp and ceremony
of secular monarchy and hereditary aristocracy. The
Acropolis in Athens still stands as a vivid reminder of
institutional arrangements In ancient Greece. Our own
society reflects the obsession with rapid commerce and
Industrialization. In the period following the Civil War
the secular temples of railway depots and banks, followed closely by soaring skyscrapers, dominated our
landscape. What of higher education and universities
in the 20th and 21st centuries'.' The depots have given
way to airports at the edge of our cities and the cities
themselves sprawl into the open countryside. In the
emerging societies of the 21st century will education
become the new center of human existence?
The main thrust of our inquiry, research, and deliberation was to determine the roles of universities in our
times and in the foreseeable future. Our conclusions articulated readily with those of Walter Lippman and we
agreed spontaneously that the university must fill the
void In contemporary life and provide intellectual, moral, and spiritual leadership in the modern world. Our
problem Is not whether to undertake the task, but the
concrete one of bringing It about. In a real sense,
the university is the cathedral of the secular city.
In the past, the university has evoked a variety of
different Images which still hold sway over the imagination of students, faculty, and other publics. The
most common is that of the university as an ivory
tower, somewhat separated and detached from society
and from the existential world of affairs. Closely related to this image is the university as a quasl-rellglous
center, monastic in character, and best typified by Oxford and Cambridge until the middle of the nineteenth
century. Vestiges of this still remain In our academic
dress and conventions. A third image, more characteristic of the early twentieth century .experience in the
United States, Is of the university as a place for the
young to be socialized Into middle and upper class
status. This type of institution was also Isolated, and
its primary function was to superintend the last phases
of maturation. A pejorative summary of these three
Images
terms:
could
be
reduced to the following simple
The ivory tower
The monastery
The Incubator
What all three have In common la detachment from
the market place, from world affairs, and from existential reality. Most families still view the university
as a place to Isolate the young In safety as they prepare to enter "real life." Professors and administrators are thought of as caretakers acting in loco parent-is.
All this has changed dramatically.
The break from old patterns was already begun in
the nineteenth century In such Institutions as the new
universities of Berlin and London. In the United States
a fresh conception of higher education came Into being
with the land-grant colleges and universities. The landgrant institution related itself directly, if not to the
totality of existential life, at least to Its agricultural
and mechanical components. These schools were often
looked down upon as "cow-colleges," but In the course
of time they made great strides In the natural sciences
in technology and engineering, and gradually became'
strong in the liberal arts and humane studies. The ASM
university quickly discarded the notion of the Ivory
tower, but It still retained the common conventional
sense of detachment and gladly assumed the role of Incubator of the young, although on a mass production
basis.
The Ivy League schools of the East, and their Imitators in various parts of the country, tried to cling
to the ivory tower Image; thai is, they tried to remain
detached places of scholarship as well as centers for
socializing an American elite.
World War II was the turning point as the Ivy League
type of Institution and the mldwestern state university
began to draw more closely together Into a single
focus. Institutions like Michigan State started pioneervlTdlnan(fn'rfi?A ^ H i ^ i W A<«\.UbtX& .9itAv JJllJle.iiar.world of affairs. Harvard crossed the Rubicon when It
crossed the Charles River and strengthened some
of Its own units such as its Graduate School of Education and the Graduate School of Business Administration.
A fourth Image became part of our vocabulary as
a result of President Clark Kerr's famous lectures at
Harvard, the multiversity.
Kerr contrasts his conception with those of Newman, Flexner, and Hutchlns. He also compares his
conteptlon with the universities of Berlin, London
and the American landgrant Institution. In essence,
the multiversity does not have a single vision of Its nature and purpose. It is not an organism whose parts
are inextricably bound together. In his own words,
"the multiversity Is an inconsistent Institution. It is
not one community, but several," According to Clark
Kerr, It has many parts which can be added and subtracted with little effect on the whole or even little
notice taken (except by those being subtracted).
In his Harvard lectures Kerr made two devastating statements whose repercussions we are still witnessing:
(The multiversity is) a mechanism held together
by administrative rules and powered by money.
(The multiversity is) a series of individual faculty
entrepreneurs held together by a common grievance,
over parking.
We might add that the multiversity is a case of
academic sprawl and although we cannot go back to
the vision of Newman and Flexner, we should avoid the
swing of the pendulum toward Berkeley.
Contemporary society is deeply dependent upon its
universities and colleges for the conduct of its affairs
In just about every aspect of life: In business and commerce, industrial production, military affairs, government and all phases of administration. Even the
churches, as well as the institutions of the mass media,
come to the university for trained personnel and ideas.
Management techniques are university-taught and developed. The large corporations of America recruit their
personnel In the universities, as do Indeed the military
services. By the end of the 1950s', the universities
were not only Involved in every aspect of practical
human affairs, but It was becoming Increasingly evident that more and better education was needed for even
the simplest and most mundane tasks. The era In which
universities serve as a safe and genteel means to keep
young people busy and out of trouble is past.
The modern world can hardly he perceived without
considerable higher learning. It may well be that the
bachelor's degree will become as universal as a high
school diploma. Even the world of entertainment and the
arts of leisure require considerable sophistication,
TV, hi-fi, and tape recorders lead one Into electronics, A fishing outfit is now a fairly complicated technological affair. Purely verbal and face-to-face contact In the dally course of life are diminishing and
communication Is through complex signs and symbols,
electronically transmitted. The generations find It more
difficult to understand each other than ever before.
Higher education has become a universal necessity,
not only because It makes society function In a material
and technological sense, but more Important because It
enables us to contemplate and understand the world,
to appreciate, suffer, and enjoy human existence.
SUMMARY OF PURPOSES AND GOALS
The university Is, of course, dedicated to the historic
mission of discovering and transmitting knowledge and
ideas. The modern university must give great attention
to the development of new knowledge and to the relnterpretatlon of old truths.
At Albany we agreed that we should take abroad
view of our mission and make the search for new
knowledge and understandlnga/om«Mn<ure/or students
ami [acuity. But from whatever field knowledge la to bo
transmitted, the student should not be deprived of the
joy of rediscovery. In the social sciences and the
humanities the study of the past may often give ua
more questions than answers, but we still face the
problem of determining which are the best questions.
One meaning of being civilized is the quality of questions with which one faces existence. Old Insights and
Ideas give us a kind of agenda with which to face life.
Old Ideas tend to retain their vitality If they address
themselves to some fundamental aspect of existence
which does not become outmoded under new historical
conditions. Yet It is not enough to merely transmit
ideas since their form and substance are usually limited by the objective conditions under which they arose.
They need to be reformulated and modified in the light
of new circumstances and new ways In which the perennial problems present themselves.
We were convinced from the very beginning that the
t/vift. and jaiAo nf the Alhanv University should Dlav
tellectual cafeteria. Where transmission can beacnieved
by educational technologies, It should be done. We
should not use faculty time In doing things for students
that they can do for themselves or which can be accomplished with machines.
The student-faculty relationship should be focused
on the Intellectual process by which new knowledge
Is discovered, the Interpretation of the meaning and
significance of that knowledge and the analysis of those
fundamental questions of human existence which confront the world. The themes of inquiry,
creativity,
relevance,and involvement were basic to all our considerations.
The university should be characterized by the Joint
venture of students and faculty in perceiving, understanding, and improving the world. The adventurous
search in the realms of thought and sensibility will
give meaning and significance to human activity. The
university must do more than train people to perform
the sophisticated functions of modern society; it must
critically examine the way In which those functions are
performed and constantly re-examine their relevance
and significance to Improving the quality of human
existence.
..
The university must also discover, define, and assess
the problems that confront society. It Is simultaneously
engaged in conserving and transmitting the values of
the past and acting as critic and also as agent for the
generation of new values. Its capacity to conserve the
past depends on its ability to reinterpret It in the light
of new reality. Its capacity to make constructive contribution to the future depends on its ability to link new
knowledge to historic human purposes.
In the broadest possible terms, the primary function
of the university is to prepare the student to meet an
unknown future. The university must provide the student
with knowledge relevant to his personal, professional,
and social roles. More Important than the knowledge
Itself are the habits and skills for acquiring new
knowledge and confronting new situations. Perhaps most
important are the Ideas, attitudes, and questions with
which members of the academic community will face
the future. The university Is the place to develop what
Alfred North Whitehead has beautifully called an "adventure of ideas," It is here that one learns that the
adventure can be Joyous, even playful, that it Is one of
the most rewarding of human activities, and that the
game is for the highest stakes, since the quality of
life Itself Is at Issue.
One of the distinctive characteristics of the Albany
campus should be Its concern for study on an Interdisciplinary level, and should be a characteristic of both
graduate and undergraduate work. The organizational
structure of the university should stimulate and facilitate contacts across the disciplines.
Further, the university should seek to bring about
a fruitful relationship between those studies Involved
in the education of man as man, and the programs which
man must master In his role as a member of a professional guild. Many constructive relationships are pos-
