Harriers Record Victory:
LeMoyne On Losing End
The Albany State Cross-Country squad finished its season this past Tuesday with a victory over LeMoyne
College. Host Albany outscored their opponents, 22-3S. With this victory, the R.K. Munsey-coached
harriers raised their record to eight wins and two losses.
The Great Danes, who have
never lost more than two meets in
a season while under the tutelage
of Mr. Munsey, avenged an earlier
loss to LeMoyne at the LeMoyne
Invitational.
Brain Horey of LeMoyne won
the race as he finished the 5 mile
course in 27:06.5. Albany

Cross - Country Meet,
Swim Match Planned
T h e A M I A o f f i c e has
announced plans for not only a
swimming meet, but also an
AMIA cross-country meet.
The cross-country meet, which
will be run on a two-mile course,
is open to both team (five men)
and individual competition.
Team points will be scored on
the basis of the total for the Ave
finishers. The team with the low
score wins.
The first five finishers will
receive medals, while places six
through fifteen will be given
ribbons.
Entry forms are available for
the race to be held November 14
at the locker room cage. The
entries are due at the AMIA office
by Tuesday, November 12. No
one who has won a freshman or
varsity award is eligible.
The AMIA swimming meet
planned for this year will be run
just as last year's was. Preliminary
trials are scheduled for November
19 with the finals set for
Thursday, November 21.
The swimming meet is also
open to both individual and team
competition.
Entry blanks for the meet may
be picked up at the locker room
cage and are due by November 1 1 .
Mr. Kelley, who will be in charge
of the meet, commented that
approximately the same events
would be featured as last year's.
Medals will be awarded to the
first, second, and third place
finishers in each event. A team
trophy will be presented to the
winning team.
Mr.

director, expressed hopes that
there would be a fine turnout far
both the cross-country meet and
the swimming meet.
No Participation Hurts
Frosh Wrestling Squad
This fall, the freshman soccer
team suffered from an acute lack
of participation. As a result, their
squad was unable to present a
representative
performance
despite the efforts of those who
were performing.
Unfortunately, if the status quo
continues, the freshman wrestling
team will follow the same path as
that of the soccer team.
Mr. Tom Mull, who will be
coaching the team this year,
reported that of some thrity or
more freshmen who are known to
have high school experience, only
two or three have even shown up
at a practice.
Mr. Mull commented that if
more interest is not shown, the
freshman squad will be unable to
post a full team for its matches. In
addition to the fact that some of
the positions will go unfilled,
those positions filled will have
relatively inexperienced wrestlers.
If freshman sports are not to be
discontinued completely, greater
interest will have to be shown by
t h o s e freshman capable of
participating.

to
University
Security person net last week that
he was assaulted by two young
men after he had stopped his car
while p r o c e e d i n g east on
Perimeter Road between the
tennis courts and the Physical
Education Building.
He reported that he had come
to o halt when one of a youthful
trio, whom he thought he knew,
waved to him.
The Albanian told investigating
personnel that one of the youths
approached the car, then reached
in and switched off the ignition,
and proceeded to punch him
about the face. One of his
companions joined in the reported
assault, opened the car door, and
tried to force entry.
T h e c o m p l a i n a n t , while
attempting to defend himself,
reportedly suffered cuts about his
face and a sprained right hip.
Apprehended in the area,
following a call to the security
office, were t h r e e Albany
residents. Two were identified by
the complainant as having taken
part in the alleged assault. After
having been taken to Division One
headquarters of the Albany Police
Department, they were released
pending presentation of a formal
charge by the motorist. The
incident was reported at 3:35
Friday afternoon, November 8.
Thefts reported included that
of a battery from a car parked in
the Colonial Quadrangle lot and
of between 40 and 60 pieces of
first-class mail missing from a
delivery cart in the State
Quadrangle tunnel. The mail was
destined for Irving Hall. An
investigation revealed that no
registered, certified, or special
delivery mail was involved in the
reported theft.

All Interested students are urged to

Students on this campus are not receiving the
most efficient mail service possible. At present,
mail is passed through numerous channels, thus
slowing delivery and creating inefficiency. We
would like to suggest two alternative methods of
mail delivery to the residence areas that will help
eliminate these problems.
The first plan would provide for the most
efficient service. This plan would involve hiring
one full-time employee per quadrangle and
modifying present facilities.
Currently each hall contains mail boxes for its
residents. Under this proposed system, all mail
boxes would be relocated to a central location on
the quad.
The present recreation room on the mezzenine
level of each of the three towers could serve as this
central mail room. The rooms are not currently
used as recreation rooms. Furthermore, the room
is of sufficient size to serve this purpose and
conveniently located on the quad.
Mail could be delivered to the quad mail room

To the Editor:
I feel I must respond to Mr.
Soja's and Miss Battaglino's article

of their rationale lies in the
supposition that "true spirit" can
be found only in a Greek
organization. They present this
conclusion by citing what, they

Special deliveries and packages could also be
picked up any time during the 8-4:30 work day.
This plan would involve only slight
modifications to the existing facilities and the
hiring of several full time people.
The second plan would employ existing
facilities, but necessitate hiring two full time
employees per quadrangle.
The mail would be delivered to the quad two
times a day instead of the present one. When the
mail is received it would then be sorted by the two
full time employees. These employees would then
go to each hall in the morning and in the
afternoon and put the mail in the individual boxes.
First class mail would therefore be delivered
twice a day. The existing system would still be

a romantic drama of two young

Judy Collins, Union Gap
In Concert Friday Night
"Music and poetry can produce

everybody. TTiat's what I.m
after..." This, if Judy Collins has a
creed, would come close to
describing, it. Judy Collins:
formerly labled a 'folk singer*,
now referred to as America 'a
foremost singer of contemporary
a r t songs, and recently, an

college concerts have given her a
rare rapport with youth, that an
older generation refuses to-or
cannot-understand. She used to
r e p r e s e n t "protest" yet has
continued to grow as a performer,
and more recently as a composer,
to the extent that her appearance
before an audience is described by
many not as just a performance,
but as a religious experience.
"At sixteen, 1 found that I
needed to be together more than I
needed to be alone. I found the

discipline was my desire to get at
t h e communication through
lovely, beautiful songs..
Thus Judy Collins and guitar
drifted into the folk music scene,
casually, but inevitably. She
learned a great deal, then became
totally involved, and soon began

Denver,

acclaimed particularly for her

ALC League II Champs
End Season With 9-6 Win
Having gone virtually unnoticed this sports season, the League II stalwarts, Alpha Lambda Chi, have
amassed a record unmatched by any other AMIA team this year at State. Their most recent triumph came
in the final game of thier season as they preserved an undefeated record, defeating APA, 9-6.
Previously unscored upon, it
took a rare field goal to pull out
the victory for ALC who had
amassed 101 points before this
contest.
The first score of the game
came on the second set of
offensive d o w n s for ALC
following the first of several
interceptions by defensive back
Wayne Fetter. Quarterback Jerry
Calvario immediately moved the
champions to the APA eight yard
line where he hit Dennis
Dominick for the score. The extra
point kick was missed making the
score, 6-0.
As the first quarter ended ALC
again began to move toward teh
APA goal only to be stopped near
the twenty-five yard line. To the
surprise and elation of the fans,
J o h n Birchler converted a
thirty-five yard field gaol. That
left the score at ALC, 9 and APA,
0.
Late in the second quarter,
APA m o u n t e d
their only
sustained drive and socred as the
half ended. The second half
proved fruitless for both sides as
interceptions stymied several
concerted efforts to score by both
teams.
In winning the League II title,
ALC defeated the Raiders,
Waterbury, the Hoots, TXO, APA
and State Quad. The latter team
had the dubious honor of losing
by the largest margin of any
AMIA team in any league this
season, 43-0 to ALC.
The outstanding performers for
t h e league II titlists were
quarterback Jerry Calvario and
defensive stalwart Wayne Fetter.
Calvario, a senior, threw for
fifteen touchdown passes.
APA, LEAGUE I CHAMPIONS, scored 142 points while giving up only
18. Both marks were the best in the league.

On Friday, November 15, from
7:30
to
10:00
p.m.,
approximately twelve University
women will be attending a clinic
for formal instruction in the rules
and m e t h o d s of officiating
volleyball, to be held in Ravina,
New York.
Each student will then take a
written and a practical exam
which if passed will give them
local ratings in volleyball. They
may then officiate local games for
an established salary which runs at
a minimum of $4 per game.
In mid -December, another
clinic of the same type for
b a s k e t b a l l will be- held in
Wappinger's Falls at which time
the volleyball practicals will be
given.

Gen. Romulo Discusses Asia,
Clarifies Misconceptions
by Kathy Huiaman
"Asia in tho American Mind"
was the topic discussed by
General Carlos P. Romulo on
Thursday, November 14. Romulo,
a scholar-in-residence about the
University System, which he
describes as a "traveling salesman
in orbit'], stressed the need to
clarify the American image of
Asians.
According to Romulo, Asia has
just come to the consciousness of
the American mind within the last
d e c a d e . Prior to this, the
European continent, and Great
Brltian in particular, dominated
the American mind. Even during
World War II, the importance of
the war in the Pacific was not
realized. In an attempt to correct
this, Romulo was sent on a
speaking tour of the United .States
covering -166 cities to "bring
home the Pacific war in America."
Murrow, was unable to coordinate
a strong offensive threat.
In the fourth quarter, after
Sinnott had intercepted a Murrow
pass, APA scored again. Tight end
Denny El kin snared a Torino
aerial after the ball popped out of
defender Royce Van Evra's hands.
This made the score 19-0 and it
remained that way until the next
to last play of the game when
John Carley kicked a twenty-five
yard field goal to make the final
score 22-0.
Thus, APA ended its season
with a perfect 7-0 record and left
no doubt as to its League I
superiority.
In other games Saturday, KB
and STB finished their seasons
playing to a scoreless tie, as did
