ALPHA LAMBDA CHI has proven to be the team to beat thus far in
League II competition.
ALC Heads League II
EEP Commands Three
by Tom Libbos
As it seems in AMIA, defense is
the key influence, and leagues 2
and 3 illustrate this fact very well.
The leader in league 2,
surprisingly enough, has only
scored twice in two games, while
the highest score in the same
league has been under twenty.
League 3, which is hampered
this year by a lack of team
membership is struggling with
only four teams, but still has shoe
wed a great deal of spirit and
individual effort.
At this point.ALC is off to a
fine start and their record is 2-0
which leads league 2. This year,
ALC has combined all their talent
into what seems a trophy winning
team. Depending mostly on their
very strong defense, ALC has been
tough thus far • they have shut
out both the Raiders and TXO by
a score of 7-0.
On offense, ALC is cpatained
by quarterback Jerry Calvario,
who intercepted a pass and sped
for a touchdown against the
Raisers and passed to Steve Shear
for a score agains TXO.

as they improve with each game.

Two teams emerged this week victorious in League I intramural action, and both must be considered
champion contenders.
On Monday, Tappan upset the Potters 7-0. State Quad is now 2-1 and this game proved that they have
jelled into a competent and cohesive football team.
Both teams were unable to mount steady drives in the scoreless first half.
Tappan broke the ice in the
second half, when quarterback
Cass Galka threw a pretty pass
into the flat to George Margan.
Margan did a little ballet so as not
to step out of bounds and finished
it off with a dive into the end
zone. He then kicked the extra
point, for Tappan's 7-0 victory
Both Jim Sommervillc and
Royce Van Bvcra played fine
games for the Tappanitcs.
The first routing of the season
took place Tuesday afternoon,
and it was another shutout. STB,
with probably the finest set of
receivers in the league, also got
great
performances
from
quarterback Larry Myers and both
lines. They dominated action over
Waterbury through the entire
gume.
The first time STB got the ball,
(after a partially blocked kick)
Myers rolled right and threw a
touchdown pass to Tom Sears.
Myers used this roll out pattern
quite effectively, often choosing
to run power sweeps to balance
his passing game. One of these
sweeps was good for STB's second
touchdown.
An interference call set UF

U n f o r t u n a t e as it may appear,
there is a remarkable correlation

Peace is not inspired by love and

It would be gratifying if t h a t

the

Dr. H. Peter
Krosby was
recently a p p o i n t e d Proffessor of
History a n d C h a i r m a n of t h e
D e p a r t m e n t of History at t h e
University.
In an interview. Dr. Krosby
discussed frankly different aspects
of th.* history d e p a r t m e n t .
Qn t h e subject of courses. Dr.
Krosby said that he would look at
what was offered n o w a n d also
look into the financial situation
before considering an increase in
the present teaching staff.
T h e n e w chairman staled that
professors should teach as m u c h
as possible, b u t only t h e material
they are interested in. Krosby
c o n t e n d e d that the " s t r u c t u r e of
present
course
offerings was
c r e a t e d for an earlier period of
t i m e . " C o n t i n u i n g , he said t h a t a
need for a change t h r o u g h o u t t h e
c o u n t r y has been b r o u g h t a b o u t
by t h e change of time as well as a
change in s t u d e n t s .
"Students
now
want
courses
t h a t are
relevant t o t o d a y . "
When
asked
about
the
s t u d e n t - t e a c h e r ratio in history
classes he firmly a n s w e r e d t h a t
the ratio is very p o o r .
E x p a n d i n g o n this,
Krosby
stated
that
more
m o n e y is
necessary before t h e University
may o b t a i n m o r e teachers t o c u t
d o w n this r a t i o .
T h e overall impression thai
Krosby
has of t h e history
d e p a r t m e n t is that it is a good
d e p a r t m e n t having an excellent

Nix On Sports
by Tom Nixon
Sports Editor
The sporting events for this year's Homecoming Weekend provided
both excitement and frustration. Whereas the soccer team displayed
one of their worst showings of the year, the cross-country squad turned
in their most impressive victory of the season.
In past years, much criticism has been raised over the quality of
teams scheduled for the soccer game for Homecoming. This year,
however, Coach Schieffelin made sure that no objections could be
raised as to the capabilities of his team's opponent. Middiebury,
although not overpowering, at least has the claim of having toured
Europe for a twenty game schedule.
While the soccer team has not been successful in winning games so
far this year, they have displayed a potential for scoring and a fairly
solid defense. Both, however, seemed to be missing on Saturday.
Middlebury's first goal resulted from some sloppy defense and their
second might have been averted if the Albany fullbacks had been more
effective in clearing the ball from in front of the goal.
In the first half, Albany's offense looked especially ineffective as
they were unable to build up any kind of threat against the Middiebury
defense.
Coach Schieffelin made an attempt to instill some kind of spark into
his squad in the second half as he juggled his lineup in search for
someone to lead an attack. His efforts were in vain, however, as the
hooters just could not come up with an effective attack.
The cross-country team, on the other hand, displayed one of their
most impressive victories ever in their close win over Boston State. In
this closely run race, the overall team effort was superb as each of the
first five finishers was required to make a strong finish in order to
record the victory.
Don Beevers turned in an exceptionally fine performance as he
passed a Boston State runner in front of him as if the Boston man were
standing still. Pat Gepfert also came on in the final portion of the race
Cross Country Squad Wins
Tight Race Over Boston
The harriers of Albany State recorded two victories this past week. On Wednesday, in a double-dual meet,
the Great Danes defeated RPI by a score of 1841 and Siena by a score of 18-77. In their Homecoming
meet, they pulled out a tight 26-29 victory over tought Boston State. In each meet, the team was led by
Larry Fredericks.
Against Siena and RPI,
Fredericks broke the course
record as he completed the 3.8
mile run in 18:37.
Larry was followed across the
line by Pat Gepfert and Paul Roy.
In addition to taking the first
three places, Albany also recorded
Paul Breslin fifth, and Don
Beevers seventh.
For Homecoming, t h e harriers
went against a tough team from
Boston State. In last year's
Invitational, Boston State was one
of the two teams to outscore
Albany As a result, they were
expected to be the toughest
opponent of the year.
The race proved tremendously
exciting as the runners fought for
the lead throughout the race.
Although Louis Ruggiero of
Boston won the race, Albany
came out ahead as they captured
s e c o n d , (Frederick), third(Pat
Gepfert, fifth (Paul Roy) sevent
(Don Beevers), and ninth (Paul
Breslin). to barely squeak out
the victory
Beevers and Gepfert were
awarded Co-Runners of-the-Meet
Awards as they both passed
Boston runners in front of them
within the last 200 yeards of the
race.
Coach Munsey commented that
the entire squad bettered all their
previous times for the year and
that
their
tremendous
determination during the entire
race was what made it possible foi
them to capture the victory.

he was particularly pleased with
the way Beevers and Gepfert
showed the extra effort necessary
to overcome the opponents ahead
of them. The coach added that he
was more "proud of this team
today than any I can remember at
this moment. They were great."

they
were granted a double win on
Wednesday against RPI and Siena.
This Wednesday, the harriers
will host the team from New Paltz
to pass a Boston runner. If these two had not passed the men in front
of them, the outcome of the race would have been reversed.
So far this year, League I in AMIA football has provided some
exciting games as every team but APA has either lost or tied at least one
game. It's beginning to look as though the APA men are definitely the
team to beat as they have rolled up fifty-seven points in only two games
and have not yet been scored upon.

Many people are unaware of
the variety of clubs and interest
groups that meet every week in
the physical education building.
Fencing Club, which meets on
Wednesday nights and Modern
Dance on Thursdays, for example
function as independent clubs and
have already begun
their
programs.
Under W.K.A., in many cases
the clubs may be termed special
interest groups since attendance is
irregular. Home groups have
intentions
of
becoming
independent clubs, however, -and
need only a few more seriously
interested members to fulfill the
requirements. Gymnastics Club,
for example, has potential for
becoming an intercollegiate team.
In that event, the club would
remain for those interested in
recreational gymnastics and the
team would be organized to
compete with other colleges.
Other clubs under W.K.A.
sponsorship are Folk Dance with
Miss Torres, which meets on
Thursday evenings, Synchronized
Swim with Mrs. Rogers, also on
Thursdays, and Diving Club with
Miss Forrest on Tuesday nights.
Moreseback Hiding will eventually
come under the W.R.A. schedule,
but unfortunatley, can only take a
limited number of students.
H o w e v e r , a n y o n e who is
interested enough can help make
arrangements with other stables to
meet growing demand.
Folk Dance and Gymnastics are
both co-ed activities thus allowing
even men to become members.

Frosh Harriers Drop
Meet To Cobleskill
by Tony Cantove
The freshman cross country
team record now stands even at
two victories against two defeats.
T h e y have t r i u m p h s over
Adirondack Community College
and Siena while bowing to RPI
and Cobleskill
Community
College.
Their lates t meet was at
Cobleskill on October 1 1, where
they were defeated by an
outstanding team which was much
superior in depth. As evidenced
by the fact that Cobleskill placed
four out of the first five runners.
On
October
9,
t he y
participated in a triangular meet
with host Siena. They easily
defeated Siena but a lack of depth
was also a handicap to them
against KIM as it has been
throughout the season. Despite
the fact they placed three of the
first six they could not nail down
a victory.
The Albany Slate
team has
been anchored all year by the
outstanding
performance of
Dennis Hackett. He placed first
both at Siena and Cobleskill. At
Siena, although relinquishing the
lead several times but regaining it
permanently with u burst of speed
in the final 160 yeards, he covered
the 3.8 mile course in the
excellent time of 18 minutes and
fjH seconds in finishing first.
At Cobleskill he exceeded his
previous
outstanding
performances by establishing a
track record for the 3.2 mile
course of 16 minutes and 16
seconds erasing the old mark by
one second.
Albany State has also received
good performances from Paul
Holmes who placed fifth at Siena
and sixth at Cobleskill and Lou
Wittig who placed sixth at Siena
and eighth at Cobleskill.
The next start for the Keith
Munsey coached freshman team is
al home on October 16, against
New Paltz.
T h e frosh b o o t e r s were
completely overpowered as they
were overwhelmed from the
outset by the Mohawk offense.
Two Mohawk players combined
for six of the eight goals as Paul
Rima and Rick Small each tallied
three goals.
The lone goal for Alany was
scored by Larry Baumann.
The Jim Handzel-coached team
has yet to score a victory this
season as their inexperienced team
has failed to generate a real
scoring threat against any of their
opponents thus far.
Albany's record now stands at
no wins and three losses for the
season. Their next watch is
scheduled for Thursday when
they play host to a tough team
from neighboring RPI.
The game starts al •! :00 and
Coach Handzel is looking for
some support ror his developing
team.

Draft Conference
To Be Held
BySDS Next Week
There will be a two day
conference on October 27 and 28
sponsored by the
Anti-draft
Committee of the Students for a
Democratic Society, according to
Richard Evans, chairman of the
committee.
The purpose of the conference
will be to educate the campus by
means of speakers and pamphlets
containing draft laws and issues.
After
the conference, the
committee will recruit interested
students for draft counseling.
These people will then set up
offices off-campus to inform boys
in high school, etc., on how to
avoid the draft.
The committee held its second
meeting Monday to plan for the
upcoming events during the
conference.
He has served on the Senate
Labor
and
Public
Welfare
Committee,
sponsored
the
Narcotics Rehabilitation Act, and
supported programs for federal
aid to education and civil rights.

Paul O'Dwyer, Democratic
Candidate for the U. S. Senate,
will speak tonight at a rally given
in his behalf.
The rally, to be in the
University gymnasium, will
attempt to acquaint the student
body as well as the general public
with Paul O'Dwyer and his stands
on the vital issues of today.
Doors will open at 7:15 P.M.
for those people who have tickets
and at 7:45 for those without
tickets.
Tickets are free and can be
obtained at the door this evening
or at the O'Dwyer desk in the
Campus Center today.
The main s p e a k e r , Paul
O'Dwyer, will be joined by Myrna
Loy, the co-chairman of the
Advisory Commission of the
National Commission Against
Discrimination in Housing, and
will talk about pertinent issues of
the day.
Entertainment will also be a
part of the O'Dwyer rally.
Featured will be Tom Paxton, a
well known folk singer, and
Richard and Lee Wilkie, also folk
singers. They will present a varied
program of musical talent.
It is hoped
t h a t many
vol nteers will come forward to
help Paul O'Dwyer and his
campaign for the Senate. Workers
are needed to give O'Dwyer a big
push in making his name and
one million votes,
policies familiar to the general
public.
Since the end of September,
"Students for O'Dwyer" have
canvassed literature throughout
the city of Albany and the
surrounding towns, reaching over
12,000 voters so far.
The O'Dwyer desk in the
Campus Center was set up for a
local source of information for
the University community.
"All in all the campaign is going
well," was the comment of Carol
Schneider, one of the student
coordinators for the O'Dwyer
campaign. She continued to say
that "much enthusiastic support
has been found for O'Dwyer."
Even though the campaign has
attracted many workers, many
more s t u d e n t s and faculty
workers are needed. Anyone
wanting to work for O'Dwyer is
requested to contact either one of
the student coordinators.

Council Discusses Mandatory Tax
Students To Vote In Referendum
by Kathy Huseman
"I challenge the student body
to become informed on the
subject of student tax so that they
can make a sound judgment. The
benefits are many—so are the
r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s , " said Vice
President of Central Council and
Chairman of the Student Tax
Committee, Terry Mathias.
The referendum on Student
Fees is as follows:
"With the increased outcry by
the student body for bigger,
better, and more activities, of
r e c r e a t i o n a l , social, and
e d u c a t i o n a l nature there is
increased financial need.
"In order that the Student
Association may come closer to
meeting its finances, it hereby
refers the q u e s t i o n of a
mandatory student fee to you, the
Student Body.
"Are you in favor of a
mandatory
student
fee?
Yes-No." On October 23, 24,
and 25, the members of the
student body of the University
will have the opportunity to vote
on this proposed referendum.
Mathias said, "The question
should go to the entire student
body even though the government
is representative."
If the student vote supports a
mandatory fee, the now policy
will go into effect Spring
semester. There will be provisions
for exemptions for those with
extreme financial need.
All exemptions concerning
financial matters will be handled
by the Financial Aids office.
other exemptions will be decided
by Student Association.
Student Tax Committee is also
trying to derive a policy for the
members of the student body who
have little use for the services
provided by the payment of the
fee.
A d i s a d v a n t a g e of
the
compulsory fee is that there are
people, not in need, who receive
little benefit from the privileges
granted them. According to
Mathias, this problem does not
affect a large segment of the
student body.
If the fee becomes mandatory,
and a student who is not
exempted does not pay, under a
