AMI A Causes Controversy
Marcus, Doody Involved
The winter sports season is about to begin at Albany State. On the
varsity level, it appears as if both the basketball and the wrestling teams
will be suffering. The freshman teams, although it is always difficult to
predict how well they will do, again look as if they may be hurt by lack
of participation.
The AMIA basketball leagues
are once mote in the process of
taking shape with the close of the
football season and the approach
of winter. Ten teams recently
registered in League I and,
The Great Danes basketball squad has been beset by a number of
misfortunes. Stef Smigiel, who was one of the top substitutes last year,
and was expected to make a valuable contribution to this year's squad,
is no longer in attendance at this school. Bob Wood, who was sidelined
last year with a virus infection, dropped out of school midway through
this semester. Wood, although there was a question of whether or not
he would be given permission by the doctor to play this year, certainly
would have been an important performer if he had participated. A third
setback suffered by the team was the development of calcium deposits
on Scott Price's ankle. Without Price in the lineup, the team will be
woefully lacking for rebounders.
intramural teams against "near
professional" competition, but to
protect the varsity program from
being drained of the best players
who for various reasons chose not
to play varsity ball after having
lettered in it in a previous year.
Both APA and Potter Club have
strong entries in League I. Besides
Doody, the Apagogues will have
center Bill Moon, forwards Jack
Sinnott and Denny Elkin, and
versatile guard Gary Torino—all
returning along with a fine bench.
T h e C l u b , h a r d hit by
graduation, will feature forward
Pat Reed and sophomore Richie
Adams, along with Marcus, in
their hardcourt battles this year.
K a p p a Beta, another strong
contender for League I honors,
will be led by senior Howie Dobbs
and junior Dave Goldstein.
already, controversy has hit the
hardcourts.
The "controversy" centers
around the rosters of two teams
entered in the league. Although
the rotten are not official yet,
both Potter Club and APA have
made It known that they intend
to play former varsity basketball
athletes on their League I entries.
Larry Marcus (Potter) and Tom
Doody (APA) are the students
i n v o l v e d . Each played the
maximum three years of varsity
basketball and are still enrolled
undergraduates at the University.
I would surmise that while the hoopsters will probably still have a
winning record, it doesn't seem feasible that they will be able to secure
the NCAA bid which they barely missed last year.
The varsity wrestling squad is extremely short of wrestlers this year.
While they have a good set of wrestlers in the lower weight classes,
^gjgp^"
there is only one man on the squad over 152 pounds. As a result of
^23t
such a large shortage of wrestlers, the team will be able to w.n only if
they capture each of the lower weight classes to stand a chance of
winning.

The rule in question is number
•even under the AMIA rules of
eligibility which states, "Any
undergraduate who has lettered in
a varsity-sport may not also be
competing in intramural AMIA
competition in that sport unless
h e is cleared through the
Intramural Office and the Athletic
Director."
According to the ruling, Coach
Robert Burlingame, coordinator
of intramural athletics, cleared
Doody and Marcus for play.
I m m e d i a t e l y , several
team
captains registered their protests
of the ruling.
In defending his decision,
Burlingame argued that the rule
was developed, not to protect the
Fer
wrestlers taking part in the workouts.
SUNYA Wrestling Squad Opens
Informal Season Against Union
Last Friday, the Albany State
wrestling squad
unofficially
opened their season with a
t h r e e - w a y scrimmage against
Cobleskill Agricultural and
Technical College and Union
College.
In Coach Joe Garcia's words, "I
was very impressed with out
showing and with just a little
more strength of numbers we can
have a fantastic season."
Those
who were m o s t
impressive in the initial encounter
were Seth Ceely, a 12H pound
transfer from Fulton-Montgomery
Community College, Pete Ilanalli
and Kevin Sheehan al 130
pounds, Bobby Kind, a 137
pound transfer student from
Orange C o u n t y
Community
College, Fran Weal at 145 pounds
and Craig Springer at 152 pounds.
In addition, two happy and
unexpected surprises were the
showings of John Howland und
John Ferlins. Both are novices and
wrestling for the first time.
AMIA basketball leagues close as

A m e e t i n g to o r g a n i z e
volleyball leagues will be held
Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 4 p.m. in
room 123 of the gym. Those
playing AMIA basketball are not
eligible for volleyball.
Coach Garcia feels with the
addition of a 115 pounder and a
191 pounder or aheavyweight that
this will give the team a chance
for a potentially fine season.
This Thursday, the squad will
host Hudson Valley Community
College in a scrimmage at 4 p.m.
in the second floor wrestling room
of the athletic building.
will belong to her quad team.
However, any group of students,
including commuters, may form a
team independent of the quad
teams by calling Linda Myers at
457-4727 from 7-10 p.m. on the
same night. Each person may
enter no more than two events.
This event is for enjoyment. No
great ability is necessary, one need
merely know how to swim.

However, Bruce Cohen, a

the Faculty-Student Committee
denies the rationale of the bill by
leaving no room for the individual
to interpret his own freedoms and

Those who originally brought
up the rationale now feel that the

RFK Memorial Service
Held On Capitol Steps
by Caryn Leland
A group of approximately sixty
persons gathered for a memorial
Candlelight Service for the slain
Robert F. Kennedy on the steps
of the Capital Building in Albany,
Wednesday night. Kennedy would
have been 43 on Wednesday and
thus the group, headed by Jim
Tubeman, a senior at Albany High
School, decided to celebrate
Kennedy's birthday in a solemn
manner.
The g a t h e r i n g
contained
members of the Albany Citizens
for Kennedy along with various
other onlookers and University
students dispersed throughout.
The order of service consisted of
short speeches from local clergy
and University members.
Rabbi Bloom from Beth Emeth
Temple opened the service with
excerpts from the Bible. M. J.
Rosenberg, a senior at the
University and chairman of the
Students for Kennedy last spring,
recapped the major political
events of Kennedy from the time
he entered the race for the
Presidential nomination to his
assassination.
Richard
Rust, a political
science teaching fellow at the
University, spoke on the Kennedy
years and its impact upon the
nation. Father Kirwan from the
Church of the Immaculate
Conception led the gathering in
prayer for Kennedy. The singing
of the Battle Hymn of the
Republic concluded the service.

Course In Black History
Designed To End Ignorance
by Kevin McGirr
"Abraham Lincoln freed the
Black man from slavery,'' a
statement that one might elicit
from any child and most adults, is
actually quite far from the truth.
Mr. Jerome Dukes, who teaches
the Black History courses at the
Urban Center, 80 Central Avenue,
feels that 'Reconstruction' has
been the most distorted period of
history.
The conceptualization of
President Lincoln as being the
Great Emancipator was actually
not the reality for most Blacks
after the war. Only because the
Union Army was failing did
Lincoln allow Blacks to fight for
their own freedom rtfter the war
only veterans and 'very intelligent
Negroes' were allowed to vote.
Ignotan'-e of peoples whom
you have learned to mistrust will
reinforce misunderstanding and
hatred; such is the philosophy of
Dukes. He feels that the
introduction of Black history into
early childhood curriculum will be
a necessity for racial harmony in
the future.
He also feels that it should be
assimilated into the regular school •
curriculum and not as a single
course which is being done
presently. To Dukes' knowledge,
there has been no wide-scale
attempt to bring this subject
matter into the schools.
Dukes feels that it is no I

A group of twenty people
gathered at 3:30 on Thursday
afternoon in HU 137 to hear Dr.
P e t t e n g i l l of the economic
department deliver a lecture on
"The Middle East Today." He
began by giving a "general
overview" from the economist's
point of view.
The audience was surprised to
learn that the per capita income
of the Middle East, which Dr.
Pettengill defined to include
Western Asia and Egypt is
approximately one-twentieth ol
that of the United States.
He attributed this fact to lack
of resources such as coal and iron
ore, lack of skilled labor and
entrepeneurs, and a climate not
conducive to agriculture with the
rainfall amounting to about
one-half of that of the United
States.
Nevertheless, he stressed the
importance of their one major

The.Right Way
In 1960, if you asked someone
why they didn't like Richard
Nixon the probable answer would
be, "I don't know; there's
something about him, but I can't
put my finger on it." During the
Nixon-Kennedy contest, this reply
seemed to be standard for those
people who opposed Mr. Nixon. It
had a bandwagon effect among
Kennedy supporters, it became
their pet phrase.
In 1968, Spiro Agnew has come
under similar attack. Today the
"thing to do" is to be against
Agnew. Whether you have any
reasons seems to be unimportant.
Ask someone why they are so
hostile towards him. Ask them to
objectively analyze his record and
qualifications. Tb ; chances are
most of his critics have never
bothered to examine his record.
They are just content to yell
"Agnew" in their favorite
sarcastic tone; just like some lirst
grader who thinks what his friend
is saying is pretty smart, so he'll
say it too.
Tv
1966 h e " entered into an
"irrevocable trust agreement with
the Maryland National Bank
under the terms of which the
bank was to make a suitable sale
of the land within one year or put
it up for public auction. On Oct.
31, 1967 the land was sold for
$13,200, at a slight LOSS to
Agnew." (Congressional Digest)
Finally consider the now
infamous conflict of interest
charge by the New York Times. It
was originally made by Rep.
Clarence D. Long concerning the
building of a second bridge across
Chesapeake Bay. Long claimed
that Agnew was pushing for the
bridge to be built because he
owned land near the proposed
cite. From rt]e floor of the US
House, Rep. Rogers C.B. Morton
defended Agnew. Agnew had
To me it is very strange that
last spring when Agnew was
backing Rockefeller, northern
liberals were all singing his praises
for being a true southern

he switched to Nixon he became a

surpr sing fact; I don't exist!
A friend and I were rapping
over our beers about the nature of
this life. I concluded my part of
the UHe h like with the statement
"I don't exist."
It has been said that we are the
products of our respective
experiences. In developing my
idea, I have assumed this to be a
verity. The annihilation of the
first person singular, the "I",
depends on this point.
Experiences, as reactions
between people, are dependent on
interaction and interpersonal
iuvolvment. This interaction, an
active force in human relations, is
the antithesis of apathy.
Today is the fifth anniversary
of the asaassination of President
Kennedy. It 1B as good a time aa
any to look back on the tragedy
of the last eight years.
In 1961 it appeared to all New
Year's observers that we had
marked the end of the post-war
era. The previous November, two
men, born in this century,
competed for our highest office,
The fact wes as significant as it
was symbolic. The victory of the
forty-three year old Catholic was
the herald of a new day; it seemd
to most that the New Frontier
was more than a slogan.
Inauguration Day was the day
of the transition. There on the
platform were the aged Presidents
Eisenhower and Truman. The
ascendancy of youth meant the
final act in the New Deal Drama,
In reality, the Inauguration was
a celebration of the dynamism
and vitality of the American
system.
Richard Nixon did not share

I, in this column or elsewhere,
can't exist. If I am acting or
writing by myself, I am only
hypothesizing an existence. Only
when I interact with my fellow
men can I exist. When we achieve
some form of rapport, the WE
exist.
This is a pleasing, though in
some ways saddening, thought. In
extension, it means that the
apathetic students on this campus
don't exist. Their lack of
participation and interaction
brands them as mere spec tors;
unfortunate little beings with
stunted souls.
The saddening part is the

people on this campus. What a

In order to keep your conlacl lenses as
comfortable and convenient as they were
meant to be. you have to take care of
them. But until now you needed two or
more separate solutions to properly
prepare and maintain your contacts. Not
with Lensine. Lensine is the one lens
solution for complete contact lens care.
Cleaning your contacts with Lensine
retards the buildup of foreign deposits on
the lenses. And soaking your contacts in
Lensine overnight assures you ol proper
lens hygiene. You get a free soaking case
on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine
It has been demonstrated that improper
storage between weanngs may result in
the growth of bacteria on the lenses.
This is a sure cause of eye irritation and
in some cases can endanger your vision
Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is
sterile, self-sanitizing, and antiseptic.
Just a drop or two of Lensine, belore you

allowing the lens to float more freely in

Lensine is an "isotonic" solution,
which means that it blends with

ALBANY, NEW YORK
REFERRALS CONTESTING the validity of the Mandatory Student
Tax referendum were brought before Supreme Court Sunday
afternoon. From left to right in the picture are:Cheryl Heater, chief
justice; Paul Lieber man and Jim Folts justices; Candy MiTter and Adele
Endeikofer, stenographers.
The Supreme Court met on
Sunday afternoon in Assembly
Hall to hear evidence concerning
the validity cf the Student Fee
Referendum held October 23-26.
Cheryl Heater, the Chief
Justice, along with Associate
J u s t i c e s J i m F o l t s , Jay
Handleman, Paul Lieberman and
Pete MacMonagle listened for over
four hours to the arguments of
Duncan Nixon and Stratton
Rawson, who were respectively
representing the cases for and
against the legality of the
referendum.
Stratton Rawson was the chief
s p o i l s m a n for the three
plaintiffs: Keith Nealy, Steve
Kichen and Paul Schlect. Their
attack on the referendum
contained three major arguments.
Rawson, first cited that the voters
were not given any reason to
believe that legislation by Central
New Approach In Vermont
Gain Fame For Debaters
Albany State debaters 'stole the
show' at the Vermont Invitation
Debating Tournament at the
University of Vermont this past
weekend, despite their 9-23
official record, They managed to
do this by making the proceedings
more interesting, educational, and
pleasant for those who heard
them speak.
The topic being debated was
the national collegiate topic of:
Resolved: Executive control of
U n i ted States foreign policy
should be significantly curtailed.
Debates on this topic usually
b r i n g about
sophisticated
discussion of the powers of the
President and Congress in foreign
policy. Four members of the
Albany State squad argued u
rather unique case.
The members of the switch-side
debate team defined the chief
executive not at; the president, but
as god. This unusual approach to
the topic earned Albany State
recognition as the team with the
most interesting approach to the
resolve.
Word of 'the plan' spread
quickly among the other schools
at the tournament, More than
once, 'conservative' members of
the SUNYA squad were asked if
they were arguing the 'god case.'
The debating team of Stratton
Rawson and Tom Cervone, along
w i t h the team of
Doug
Goldschmidt and Dave Small
proposed the unique case. Each of
these debaters believe that they
Thorne Discusses
Housing Problems
by Tim Keely
Dr. Clifton C. Thorny,
Vice-President for Student
Affairs, met with students
yesterday to discuss u possible
alternative to off campus housing
for next year. Thome has been
officiating for several weeks ut the
Monday's President's Conference
with Sludenl-s in the absence of
President Evan It. Collins who has
been in Europe.
Thome's introductory remarks
included a note of congratulations
to the leaders and participants in
the University Telethon.
A question was then raised
concerning the need for housing
that will arise next fall.
"We've talked with ten private
developers about building off
campus residences for September
1, 1969. Currently we've entered
no formal agreement,'' Thorne
revealed.
'ITiorne then elaborated on the
solution that the University wa;
considering for additional
housing.
The proposed plan would be to
encourage a builder to construct
smalt pre-fabricated residential
units within a reasonable distance
from the campus.
"The existence of these units
rests, however, upon several 'lis,"
Thorne commented.
The list of 'IIV includes: that
the land can be found that is
suitable, that the contractor
wishes to proceed, and that
zoning regulations can be met.
Should these requirements be
met, 150 prefabricated units will
be installed for use by next fall.
Money to construct these units
would come from the Federal
Housing Administration,
"These units would serve the
purpose of present off campus
housing; that is apartments would
be rented to any interested
groups," remarked Thorne.
The units would consist of a
living-dining area, kitchen, bath,
and either one, two, or three

had received and given a more
educational experience from
arguing the 'god case,'
The feedback received by coach
Jeanine Rice also was of a
complimentary nature. Coaches
from other colleges thanked the
'mother of god' for making the
tournament more interesting than
it normally would have been.
While the 'god case' (originated
by Stratton Rawson) did not
officially win debates on the
t o p i c , it earned SUNYA's
debating squad the reputation of
producing extremely interesting
debates.
Of the more conservative
debaters, the novice team of Dave
Ballinsky and Ellen Arshamsky
went undefeated throughout the
tournament. Jim Garvey and Jan
Anagnost also succeeded in
winning a majority of their
debutes as a team.

Council would follow the
referendum. In the past, tiler*
h'«ve been times when a
referendum of the student body
was nothing more than an opinion
•ell.
Secondly. Rawson stated that
many of the procedures used in
conducting the referendum w e n
i m p r o p e r . The plaintiffs'
contended that "the voters were
not provided with protections
consistent with Common Law,
New York State Statute, or
Student Association Statute." As
an example Rawson asserted that
New York State election laws
require that a statement of
proposition be included in the
ballot. However, the petitioners
did not believe that the part of
the ballot reading "it hereby
refers the question of a
mandatory student fue to vou
[the voters]" was adequate .
Thirdly, Rawson argued that
the ballot, as worded in the
referendum, was editorialized and
biased. The ballot stated, in part,
that there is a need for "bigger,
better and more activities of [a]
recreational, social and education
nature." The plaintiffs stated that
WWWftsj.
the words "bigger, better and
more" were comparative t e r m
and not neutral ones. Keith Nealy
wrote in his argument before the
court, "the onlv change called for
is not voting in a referendum, but
voting yes in the referendum."
Duncan Nixon defended the SA
opinion along with Terry Mathias,
Vice-president 01' Central Council,
and with Mitch Foster and
Stephanie Rice, respectively
chairman and vice-chairman of
Election Commission. The
defendants presented the court an
eleven page brief which answered
Nealy's arguments on a point by
point basis.
one
of
the plaintiffs'
contentions was that Central
Council bill 6869-41, which called
for the referendum, did not
"make clear to the voter that the
result of the referendum would
determine whether or not we
would have a mandatory student
fee." The defense stated that
nowhere in "the constitution,
laws or enactments of Student
Association is there a reauirement
that such information must be

Faculty Urge Relief
For Biafran
Children
by Barry Kirschner
Faculty members of the
University's School of Criminal
Justice have sent a letter to
President Johnson, including a
petition, asking him to initiate
direct relief for the children of
Biafra. The petition was sent on
November 20, and was signed by
nine
members
of
he
department. Biafra is the
province in Southeast Nigeria
which
has d e c l a r e d
its
independence from Nigeria. While
a civil war is being fought,
thousands of Biafrans are dying
each week because supplies have
not been allowed to reach them.
Despite the impassioned pleas
of many distinguished persons
(including Senator Edward M.
Kennedy of Massachusetts), little
has been done by govern menu of
the world to help supply the
Biafrans with food.
The petition being sent to the
president reads:
The undersigned, members of
the faculty of the School of
Criminal Justice of the State
U niversity of New York at
Albany, respectfully urge our
government to initiate direct relief
shipments to the starving children
of Biafra, with or without the
assistance of available private
relief

irrespective of the possible
technical infringement of the
sovereignty of any friendly
nation.
