BEAT SIENA
Great Danes Down Ithaca
73 -66 Victory Is No. 11
The Danea came out in thesecond half with the same game
plan, but the Bombers changed
their defense to a pressing zone.
After a cold shooting spell abated,
the Danes quickly caught up and
went ahead to stay 63-51 at 10:40
left in the game.
With a twelve point lead and
:40 seconds to go, Coach Sauers
emptied his bench—the game was
over. The buzzer sounded as the
scoreboard registered a 73-66
Albany triumph.
Contributing greatly t o the
victory were subs Ed Arsenau and
Jim Sandy. Sandy scored eight
points, several in key moments.
Arsenau, although not scoring,
was a tiger on defense and caused
several Ithaca turnovers.
For the first time this season,
five Albany players were in
double figures. Jim Caverly and
i Jack Adams scored ten each. Jack
Jordan had fourteen markers.
Scott Price had fifteen points and
Rich Margison had sixteen.
Margison, hitting well under his
average of twenty-one points per
game, was double teamed all night
by the Ithacans, but turned in a
fine performance on defense—not
to mention the sateen markers.
It was evident ifom the outset
of Wednesday's State-Ithaca game
t h a t t h e r e was something
different, something important
about this particular occasion.
The biggest crowd of the season
sensed it when they were handed
song sheets as they came in the
doors of the State gym. Albany
had a ten game winning streak and
was h o p i n g for an NCAA
tournament bid.
This very Ithaca club had
spoiled a fourteen game streak last
year and their recent play pointed
to another similar performance.
The blue and gold Bombers
held a decided height advantage
with 6-5 All-America candidate
Greg Albano and 6-3 Ed Kowalski
up front for them. The opening
tap saw Jack Adams score for
Albany on a driving layup.
From there, the lead changed
hands throughout the half until
Ithaca held a slim 35-33 edge at
the half.
Albano scored time after time
from in close for the Bombers and
proved his all-star status. A big
disappointment for Ithaca had to
be the sloppy play of Kowalski as
he picked up three quick fouls
and was forced to the bench.
Jim Caverly, senior forward
from Rochester, broke an Albany
State record during the game as he
contributed nine assists. The'old
mark was set two years ago by
Mike Bloom ('67) who had eight
in a single game.
Albany was beaten under the
boards
as they
were
out-rebounded by the taller team,
45-38. The formula for victory
was what seemed to be the best
"team" effort to date. The Danes
shot a solid 27 for 57 from the
floor for a 47% mark.
The Danes will take on their
t r a d i t i o n a l rivals, the Siena
Indians, tongiht at the Troy High
School.

State - Siena Tonight
Tonight's game against Siena College of Loudonville will be the
twenty-fifth meeting of the Great Danes and their local rivals. Always
a game in which past records and statistics mean little or nothing, a
win for State could insure a well deserved NCAA regional tournament
bid. Beyond this, even, no Albany basketball fan, alumnus or student
would consider the season a success without the sweet feeling of a
victory over their arch-rival.
The Indians hold a slim 11-13 edge in games in the series, but this is
due to, largely, their performances against the old Teachers' College of
the 1930-60 variety. In those days, the Indians were nationally ranked
and took a victory over the "Teachers" as a matter of course.
The first State-Siena contest was held in 1934 with Siena on the
winning end of the score. They went on to win the next five straight
games against Albany and, in fact, State did not win against Siena
until Coach "Doc" Sauers arrived on the scene in 1956. After losing
his first encounter that year, Sauers upset a strong Siena club, 62-46.
Albany has won the last four outings against the Indians. They won
59-58 in this year's Capital City Tournament Championship game.
Before that they had beaten Siena 76-75, 79-72, and 69-62 in the
1967 Tournament final. In fact, State has met Siena for the City
Tournament championship six out of the eight years that the tourney
has been played. State, Rensselaer Poly, and Union—will take part in
the Christmas tournament.)
Albany State's hardcourters are riding the crest of an eleven-game
win streak with their most recent win being over Ithaca College,
73-66. Siena lost its most recent outing, 82-79 to Marist College of
Poughkeepsie. The Indians are 8-9 on the year.
Again, as has happened all season long, State will be at a height
disadvantage. Siena has a pair of 6-7 men up front in Tom Sheridan
and Bob Herman. Herman, along with Tom Walsh are the leading
scorers for Siena. Siena will average 6-5, while State will start a team
averaging about 6-0. Siena is the tallest team State has had to face
thus far this season.
EDITOR'S NOTE: As has already been said, forgetting statistics and
records, the State-Siena game could only turn out any one of two
ways: State could win, or Siena could win-but the latter doesn't seem
either appealing or probable.
FrUfey, February 21,1969
The Faculty Senate of the University in an expression of opposition
to the State Senate bill (S524) affecting eligibility of students for
financial assistance, is urging members of the Assembly of New York
State Legislature to defeat the bill.
(The bill as passed by the Assembly is appended at the end of this
article.)
In action taken at a special meeting Tuesday afternoon, the faculty
body adopted a motion pointing to what it described as a basic defect
in the measure; namely, "that it represents a punitive rather than a
constructive approach to the problems occasioned by the expression
of dissent in a free society."
Indicating that it shares the concern for resolving problems which
sometimes arise from expressed dissent, the Faculty Senate gave five
reasons for its opposition to the bill.
The measure would rescind, on grounds of legal offense, financial
aid originally awarded for academic promise; would infringe upon the
right of universities to govern themselves in academic affairs since it
would mandate that university officials implement its provisions and
prescribe a criterion for administration of scholarships; would
discriminate against economically disadvantaged students since it
would threaten only those students whose need requires them to use
scholarship aid; and would subject students to more extreme
penalities than others who come into conflict with the law.
MIXED EMOTIONS
Doc Sauers is not pleased over outcome of this decision, but
he was pleased with State's 73-66 win over Ithaca. Siena is tonight's problem!

owing to the vast improvement of
the squad.
Ronnie Sharp holds three of
the existing club records, in the

VanNortwick holds two records,
in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle.
Other records are Alice Allard

grueling 200 yard freestyle.

The Choppers took the AMI A
League I bowling title for the first

in a play-off series.
The Choppers took the play-off
series, 945-809.
Going into the final game of
the season, the Choppers had a
two game lead over the shafts.
However, the Shafts, who are the
league's highest scoring team,
took three out of the four games
in the final match to force the
championship into a play-off
match.
The championship shaped up
all season as a battle between
these two teams, as their closest
rival finished 10 games back.
The Shafts set a season record
by rolling 1028 for a single team
effort. They also took team
honors with a three-game total of
2911.
The Shafts made a clean sweep
of all the scoring honors as Al

Meal plans announced for fall
students offered five choices
Robert Cooley, Director of Faculty Student Association, this week announced the meal plan options
that students will be able to choose from for the academic year 1969-1970. There are basically five plans,
two of which offer the Kosher option. Unlike past years, students will be able to sign up for meals on either
a semester or year basis.
The following is a list of meal plans to be offered: 1. 20 meals
$310 semester,$620 year
20 Kosher meals
$380 semester,$780 year
2 . 1 4 meals
$250 semester,$500 year
14 Kosher meals
$315 semester,$630 year
3. 13 meals (6 lunches-7 dinners )
.,...'
$280 semester,$560year
4. 7 meals (Dinner only )
^\.~
$225 semester,$450 year
5. 5 meals (Lunches only )
.*
$80 semester,$ 160 year
In issuing the five choices of meal plans, Food Service announced that they were discontinuing the
offering of second servings. They have also reserved the right to change the prices on the above plans at the
semester break if financial studies, show that the pricing is inadequate. Revision might be necessary in view
of unknowns in the five plans, such as missed meal factors, etc. Mr. Cooley also announced that prices on
Kosher meals would have to be increased because "present charges do not begin to cover our cost."
Many students expressed a desire to see a 14 meal plan allowing a choice of any two meals each day.
According to Mr. Cooley this could not be implemented because lunches are so much more expensive.
Also, any student who, because of class conflicts, has less that half an hour to eat, may get a pass to eat
at the Campus Center. Class cards, student IDs and meal cards should be brought tb the Housing Office. Mr.
Cooley added a note of caution. This year LAAC requested Food Service to provide prices on seven meal
plans. Food Service came up with five plans which they felt would "cover the needs of all students." If
these plans fail to meet student needs, however, next year they may be requested to price ten plans and
thus necessitate a straight cash or modified cash form of food service.

The crowning of EDen Shustak by
Gamma Delta Chi highlighted a
contest t o raise money for
muscular dystrophy.
The motion stated that the measure is ambiguous and its
enforcement could involve universities in endless conflicts with
students, since the offenses requiring action are so broadly defined in
the measure.
A copy of the motion approved by the 66-member body- was
delivered Wednesday by J. Ralph Tibbetts, vice president of the
Faculty Senate, to the office of the Speaker of the Assembly, Perry B.
Duryea, and to the Clerk of the Assembly.
On Wednesday, February 12, 1969, the New York State Senate by
vote of 38 to 15 passed the following bill:

'riot bill'
by Norm Rich
Last night Central Council
made emphatic its positionon the
State Riot Bill presently pending
in the New York State Assembly.
In a forceful position statement
Council condemned the riot bill
on a multitude of grounds.
The bill, contended Council,
would attempt "to violate basic
rights 'and liberties" of' the
s t u d e n t . Specifically Council
asserted that the bill seeks to
regulate-conduct, a role now set
aside for the university. In doing
so the State would turn state aid
i n t o a punitive instrument,
maligning its intended function of
fostering higher education.
Secondly Council noted that
the bill does not discriminate
between minor and major crimes.
Thus a student convicted of a
misdemeanor would suffer "cruel
and unusual punishment", being
reprimanded in the usual mannerby the Penal Code, and theft
facing the additional loss of his
scholarship.
Hence, for the above and
numerous other reasons, the
position statement passed Council
by u vote of 24-0. It was then
distributed to all local media in
the hopes of having some direct
affect upon the Assembly.
Also, Vic Looper announced in
his report to Council that LAAC
has proposed two fundamental
changes in university living
regulations. Taking the form of a
bill, LAAC has recommended that

Steve Allen
An important and disturbing
clement in the university today is
the Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS), the radical group
which
rose
to
national
prominence with the Columbia
riots last spring. Yet many
students distrust SDS and fail to
understand its motivation and
goals, both national and local.
SDS was founded in 1961 at
Port Huron, Michigan and was at
first a coalition of liberals and
radicals concerned with the issues
of disarmament, poverty, civil
rights and university reform. Its
disillusionment
with
the
liberal-reform establishment and
its rapid growth in numbers and
importance began in 1965 and it
began to develop a critique of
U.S. corporate capitalism which
led
Lo i t s a d v o c a c y
of
revolutionary politics.
Where many people see the
injstices perpetrated by this
country at home and abroad as
isolated mistakes of an essentially
»
good government, SDS sees them
as the logical results of a
capitalist, imperialist and racist
economic system which controls
the government.
SDS sees the university as a
knowledge factory serving this
system, and nationally it tries to
unite student and non-student
radical elements through the
Movement for a Democratic
Society (MDS) and the Teachers
for a Democratic Society (TDS)
On the Albany State campus
and indeed on most campuses
where S DS is present, the
m o v e m e n t is issue-oriented,
lacking a complete analysis of its
proper goals. SDS currently has an
informal membership of 30 to 30
individuals. Its only outstanding
action here wus last year's Dow
Chemical demonstration which
was literally a bust. Albany SDS is
presently trying to develop the
analysis it has lacked and badly
needs but in all likelihood it will
remain issue-oriented on this
campus for some time to come.

COMMENT
Last weekend, braving Fun City's unplowed
streets, I talked with Rep. Jim Scheuer at his
mayoralty campaign headquarters at 30 W. 57th St.
in Manhattan. We spoke of issues of student concern.
I learned that Rep. Scheuer was only one of a few
in the House who voted against the federal college
riot bill last year. Rep. Scheuer strongly believes that
campus administrators and not legislatures, should
handle campus discipline. He defended students
right to demonstrate, to protest and to strike-but
not to disrupt the educational process.
So far, campus audiences have given him terrific
receptions in New York City, and he has encountered
no incidents with SDS or other radical groups. He
realized that the honeymoon won't last forever, and
jokingly remarked "do I look like Super-Jew?"
Between now and the June primary he will try to
speak at every New York campus at least once.
He said he considers the 'Village Voice' "an
interesting paper," and he called his old friend,
Attorney-General John Mitchell "an enlightened guy,
a thoughtful, middle of the road liberal." His Negro
History and Culture Bill is in House Committee; last
year it passed the House 247-35 and died in Senate
Senate Support
Worthy Proposal
The latest step on the road-to mature residence hall living was
proposed Wednesday night by LAAC. It calls for individual
dormitories to determine their own visitation policy and hours.
This reform has had an uncertain past here. It was proposed earlier
in a slightly different form, and was unable to meet acceptance. At
that time, the basic argument used against its passage was that it did
not respect the wishes of individual students.
This flaw has been rectified, and more than compensated for. The
ultimate decision as to the hours policy of the dorm now lies with the
individual—a provision as close to protecting minority rights as one
could possibly hope for.
The proposal calls for the institution of a new dorm policy only
after two-thirds of the students have voiced their approval. This too, is
protection for the minority. Another wise inclusion is the provision
for reconsideration by respective dormitories of the policy they
accept.
The inequities that previously might have existed have been
corrected. The road should be clear now to passage. We urge all
legislative bodies involved, from the Committee on Residences up to
the University Council, to pass this long needed proposal and allow
dormitory living at this University to enter the twentieth century.

Posted in the lobby of Brubacher Hall, the

contract stipulation of a co-ed dormitory be fully
honored. The students of C-Section who wrote the
resolution stated they assert their legal right to have
'vacant rooms occupied by "appropriate looking

"co-ed" dorm was divided. Many thought it was a
joke and laughed, including the dorm director.
Others thought "it's cute" while some thought it was
a good idea if each room had its own bathroom.
Presently Brubacher Hall houses 200
graduate students,about 100 male and 100 female
students, in separate wings on each floor. The
resolution should not be laughed off as a joke; and
investigation of other co-ed dorms such as the Free
University in Berlin should begin at once.

We cannot see the future clearly now, but perhaps polarization is
necessary so that definition and articulation of identity may be
accomplished.
In the final analysis, this identity will, perhaps, be respected and
understood as different yet acceptable. We do not know.

Han »t the Univeraity we ate constantly searching for answers to
questions we do not know. Aa a result, sometimes we end up solving
problems that never exist.
We will graduate from 8UNY at Albany as mere instruments of the
sodety-at-large. We will not have had any substantiation of our
individual or group Identities. We will be as lost and limited by
established restrictions as when we came. We revolt against this
impersonalization, dehumanization.
It has recently been proven by Blacks that in order to establish
individual and group identity you cannot, no matter what society you
are in, deny your heritage, traditions, culture-the very elements
contributing to that identity. Instead, it is necessary to assert that
culture, make it your own, show others what you are.
If you are secure in the knowledge of what you are, no one can
take that identity from you. You not only will have gained respect,
but, in addition, necessitated understanding, for you will have become
an integral part of social reality, adding new dimension and diversity
to a crumbling social establishment.
Viewed in this light, the newly formed coalition of .lews does not
seem as ominous as it might at first glance. It has been established to
increase awareness of the condition of Jews all over the world as well
as in Israel.
Here in New York, Jews are more or less insulated against overt
anti-semitism, but where Jews are not known, where they are
phenomena (i.e. southern United States) they are looked upon in a
derogatory manner.
Members in the new alliance feel that it is time these conditions
were revealed and alleviated, they reel it is-their obligation to do so. In
a manner of speaking, they are not militant anti-anything, they are
militant for their culture, their heritage. As militant as the Blacks are
for theirs.

Group Image
To The Editors,
Speaking of community relntions, why is it that some
fraternities can't rent a hall for beer parties anywhere
within twenty-five miles of the city of Albany. Or
Oneonta, for that matter.
Fraternity promoters hawk their product by
claiming that fraternities lift one out of the dull, drab
conformity of university lite. Yet somehow, there is
an element of dull, drab conformity in the picture of
similarly-jacketed brothers trooping on force to the
supper line, looking for ull the world like a pack of
lemmings heading for the sen.
How can the authors of tho 'Greek Power' articlo
claim aa a 'constructive element' any organization
which recerve the right to reject principles of
equality? Prospective members must meet tho
qualifications of the 'Group Imago' and u tiny
minority can arbitrarily decide who doosn't.
Of course, fraternities and sororities huvo a place
in college lifo. On the positive side, they do provide
Bocial and athletic functions for those who seek
them. On the negutivo side, they provide safe hovon
for those who- wish that everybody was white, that
drugs wore limited to aspirin, that girls wore tho only
ones who wore bellbottoms, and that Warren
Qumoliel Harding was still President.
Wo are all, incidently, fraternity mombors.
I would expect something more, not less, from tinAlbany Student Press. I would expect your
expression in words and art to raise our awareness
not clobber it. I would expect your youthful
imagination ond reasoning to be bright not senile I
would expect that here, on a college campus il
nowhere else, tho flow would be toward making „
better world in a better way.

Cartoon Contempt
To the Editor:
The action taken by the State Senate this past
week, eliminating state support to those students
convicted of a crime on campus, is one which I
firmly support.
The reasons voiced against passage of this bill,
namely it: discriminates against the poor, it gives the
student a double punishment which a non-student
committing the same crime does not receive, and that
it takes away the freedom of speech and expression,
all have serious shortcomings.
To begin with, the bill is aimed at a small minority
of persons who, by their actions, discriminate against
the majority of students. Closing an Administration
Office, blocking a Dow Chemical recruiter, and other
such acts, all are infringements on the rights of the
majority who don't go along with such actions. So to
say the law is discriminating against the poor is not
to plausible for it is these "poor sutdents" who are
receiving a higher amount of state aid, which, in a
sense, is a counter-discriminating move as far as their
economic ability to compete is concerned.
As to the double punishment argument, it should
be remembered that an outside person is not being
supported in the same way as the student who is
receiving both financial assistance and in general pays
only about a third of the actual costs of his
education, the remainder of which falls on the
taxpayers. In a large sense, a student owes a double
responsibility to the state and as such is in a different
position than the outsider convicted of the same
crime.
As for the freedom of expression argument, it
must be remembered that it is not their expression
that is being limited, rather only the means of
expressions, in terms of permissable behavior as
defined by society, are being used as criteria to
decide what is lawful and what is not. While a certain
group is demanding their rights, it may Indeed prove
to be standing in the way of tho majority, this is the
danger.
In the final analysis, the bill is aimed at a
symptom-the crime, while falling short of getting at
the root couso-the reason to why such actions are
becoming so widespread. It still has its strongth in the
fact that it will limit tho extent to which students
may go to voice their dissent.

Food Service Slap
To the Editors:
Food Service's recent announcement of the new
meal plans disguised a slap in the face most students
don't seem to feel: there will be no seconds next
year. That means that when they serve us one
"Sunyburger," a tomato slice, and two cookies at
lunch (which thoy sometimes do), that's all we're
going to get. There are too few strangers stealing
meals to merit tho ond of secons. Therefore, I urge all
students to write, cull, petition, und in general, bitch
to Food Service. The man to complain to is Mr.

SDS Disruption
To the general University community and SDS'.
On tho weekend of February 14, 1969 your
organization held a regional conference at SUNY at
Albany. During the afternoon of February 16 about
30 members of SDS disrupted a sorority rush
function so badly that Sigma Slpha's rushees fled
from the area to which the sorority had been
assigned to hold its rush function, and the sorority
was forced to move to a closed lounge to avoid
further disturbances.
Although we do not agree with some of the goals
and methods of SDS, we believe that it should be
allowed to exist as un organization because it serves
many usoful purposes. Two of your organization's
stated ideals are that students should be allowed to
organize und meet without intorforence, and that
people should be allowed freedom of speech and
choice. However, we also believo that these idouis
should apply to all groups and people, and not just to
those with whom your members agree, lly thoir
interference and disruption of Sigma Alpha's rush
event, thoy denied 220 people the right to join or not
join an organization, and denied both tho right of the
sorority and the right of the rushees to discuss freely
the purposes, benefits, and detriments of a fraternal
organization. There Is a misunderstood assumption
that sororities are only social organizations, but
people tend to forget that many of tho members of
these groups und the groups us a whole, also
contribute much time to social and political action,
and service to tho community.
We realize that SDS did not sponsor this
demonstration; however, those that participated wore
mombors of SDS. Wo would like to know your
opinion ubout this mutter. How can a group which
assorts certain Ideals for itsolf deny these same ideals
to others? We ure disturbed thut, although wo would
not dony SDS from organizing or speaking oven
though we do not believe in somo of your methods

Enhancing Education
To the Editors:
It is most perplexing to find that despite the
inception of this university's existence to enhance
the education of the citizens of this state, it must be
an education that is dictated by this administration.
I am citing several instances and examples. To
begin with, as reported in last issues ASP I cite the
open hearing on the task force for Academic Affairs.
Any change in present university policy could not be
implemented until fall 1970, nor could a four course
load with independent study in January be
implemented.
In both instances the reason that is cited is that
there would be a tremendous amount of "effort." It
seems to me that no effort is great enough if it can
improve the quality of education at this university.
Perhaps many members of the faculty and
administration are afraid of making an effort for the
changes students are pleading for throughout the
universities of this country.
The inception of an independent study program at
this school along with puss-fuil would be a
tremendous effort on the part of the faculty. Instead
of sitting on his ass and averaging the scores of three
tests (sorry X you don't measure up to Y. He's a 2.32
and you're 2.31), a member of the faculty would
have to put in hours and hours of evaluating a
student. (Yikes' Hours and hours, we better say
pass-fail would take away incentive.)
The hypocrisy of education at this institution has
flourished and now it must die. We can no longer
arbitrarily say, after twelve hours of social science,
twelve in natural science, nine in humanities
including English comp. (Don't sweat kids. The bible
has been rewritten; thanks to Newswrito, no more
Spooch.) etc. One is educated. The student must
taper his own education to his own needs.
If necessary we must organize ourselves as a
pressure group (forget it SDS; Che doesn't live here)
on a "liberal" adminstration that has shown its
liberal achiovomentsin the past, such as promising tho
BSA the realization of their goals and then
reinterpreting them into such u distortion of the
original ones that thoy are unrecognizable, or
promising u revision in tho calendar in two or more
years.
It is incomprohonsiblo that this institution changed
totally In concept from a Teacher's collego to a
multi-univorsity, in such a short
period of time;
must It now take so long to modify many of the
standards of education hero? It is assuruble thut this
chungo is not a fraction us drastic us the original one.
At tho State University at Buffalo, It took a mutter
of months to organize und rutlfy mujpr reforms that
will begin in September. Yet it is to tuko us years,
und we are a much smaller institution. In a ruther
good oditoriul, the last issue of the ASP espoused its
principles of the students right to change his
university for mutual advantage.
The time hus come to finish tho rhetoric and bogln
the action, so each may truly become "All he is
capable of being," not ull that the administration
permits us to become.

MORRIS CARNOVSKY (center) plays Galileo in a dramatized version of the astronomer's historical
conflict with the Church
'Lamp9 Presents Conflict
Of Religion Vs. Science
by Richard Matturo
On M o n d a y evening, the
Midnight Lamp Company, with a
cast headed by Morris Carnovsky,
the excellent actor lately noted
for his interpretation of Lear,
presented a dramatized version of
Galileo's historical conflict with
the Church—"Lamp at Midnight,"
by Barrie Stavis.
The play begins with Galileo's
first view through his new
invention, the telescope, and ends
with his return to Italy after a
six-month exile imposed by the
Church twenty-five years later.
The conflict between Galileo
and the Church can quickly and
easily be generalized to be really a
conflict between science (or truth,
or
knowledge,
or
the
enlightenment of man) and
religion (or falsity, or superstition,
or unfounded authority).
Galileo is told repeatedly by
representatives of the Church that
whether or not what he has
discovered (the four moons of
Jupiter, t h e r o t a t i o n and
revolution of the Earth around
the Sun instead of vice versa, etc.)
is true is really of no consequence.
What is important is that the
people do not lose faith in the
Church, for indeed they must if
the Aristotelian astronomy, the
homocentric system the Church
authorizes, is proved false.
Though it is hard for Galileo,
himself a devoted Christian, to see
how his discoveries of these truths
will harm the Church or its
m e m b e r s , he complies with
Church regulations, which are, in
all honesty, not at all rigorous,
and writes his findings as
"hypotheses" instead of "facts."
His book is found dangerous by
the Pope, Urban VIII, however,
not because of the "hypotheses"
he presents, but because of the
dialectic method he uses to
present them: "The book is
says the Pope,
uangei
"because it teaches men to
think."
And yet the Church is not
made the real villian of the play,
for its ideas are not presented in a
ridiculous fashion.
E x c e p t t o a handful of
scientists who will get to read
Galileo's "hypotheses" p.iiyway
and know their worth, whit does
it matter to the common people
whether it is the Sun or the Earth
that moves?
The villain of the play, then, is
neither science nor religion, it is
intolerance. The representatives of
the Church will not tolerate
Galileo's method of circulating his
" h y p o t h e t i c a l " truths, while
Galileo, unlike the clergymen, is
portrayed as willing to see the
Chruch's side of the question and
to actually comply with its
regulations.
Galileo is the hero and the right
thinker not because he advances
the "correct" view about the
world, but because he tolerates
both views, though he believes but
one.
In a reverse situation, we as
audience find ourselves naturally
on the side of Sir Thomas More in
"A Man for All Seasons."He
supports the Church's position,
and we sympathize with him, not
because we believe in the
infallibility of the Pope or the
sacredness of marriage, but rather
because More is a tolerant man
facing the intolerance of King
Henry VIII who finally beheads
him for his belief.
Thus, "Lamp at Midnight" is
not really an anti-Christian play,
though many of the audience
found humorous only the voice of
the Church's position.
I think that equally humorous
sentiments were placed In the
mouth of Galileo, for instance, his
faith that the "people" will
somehow be more enlightened or

uplifted by knowledge of the
"true" astronomy.
Though we must admire
Galileo's sincerity and motive, we
might have less faith in the
"people" than he does. But by
letting Galileo voice these ideas,
t h e p l a y w r i g h t gains o u r
confidence by practicing what he
preaches: He does not stack the
cards.
On the whole, the play is a
success for the artful way in
which it fairly treats science,
religion, and history.
But not only is "Lamp at
Midnight" an artistic creation, it is
also a significant commentary on
toleration, a subject surely as
controversial today as it was in
1609.

Paul Newman's first attempt at
directing a film proves to be a
successful one. Starring Joanne
Woodward, "Racheal, Racheal" is
not a great film yet it holds
promise for what Newman may
do in the future.
Essentially, it is the story of a
spinster school teacher, who lives
with her mother over a funeral
home. It is the story of her
routine generously sprinkled with
her own fantasies and flashbacks
of her childhood. In the first few
minutes of the film, as she walks
to school, she imagines something
dreadful happens to her and as a.
result she is killed. This is pure
fantasy as is the scene where she
imagines herself in the arms of a
fellow teacher with whom she is
just talking. These incidents (and
there are many more) point out
mother) tries to keep the other
under her dominance while the
other tries to break away but is
caught up in a lot of guilt feelings.
The tension is interesting if
nothing else.
Newman uses some.fascinating
techniques in the film. His
interspacing of the flashbacks and
the fantasies enrich the film
although at times they are
confusing. (One thinks of the
frequent cutting employed in
"Petulia.") Newman uses the
camera not only to simply record
action but also to give insight into
characters and their emotions.
There is a flowing of the action
and the interaction in the film
her desire for something to
h a p p e n . She longs for a
change-just something different.
This change appears in the form
of a childhood friend, who takes
her out, seduces her and then
leaves her. She believes herself to
be pregnant but later discovers
that she isnot with child but that
she has a tumor. Disillusioned and
destroyed she finally decides to
seek a new anything in a different
city. She leaves town hoping (but
not too highly) for something
lew. The film ends.
The acting in the film,
especially on the part of Racheal
and her mother is good and each
Dffered insight i n t o their
respective characters. There is a

characters because one (the
Circuit Presents
Singer Toby Ben
The next performer for the
Coffee House Circuit is Toby Ben,
who is scheduled to perform
during the week of February 24
to March 1. Toby graduated from
Peekskill M.A. in 1964 and then
went to Farmingdale Junior
College but, in his own words, "I
was too far into music to do any
more study, so after two months 1
left and went to the Cafe Wha? on
McDougal StrecL, New York
City." This, his first official job,
lasted thirteen weeks, at the end
of which he went down to Florida
and got a job singing in Fort
Lauderdale.
Following the folk tradition of
Dylan, Farina, and John Thayer,
he bought himself a motorbike on
which he had an accident, and was
forced to stop playing for ten
weeks. A fter recovering, he
returned to the Cafe Wha? It was
then he decided he wanted to
meet Pete Seeger. He sang and
told him about himself; Seeger
listened and took him to perform
in the Village Gate. This was the
first time he played in front of
such a big audience and he
thought "I t was great." Soon
after this he started writing his
own songs and went to Mexico
with friends to find himself. "I
really got hold of myself there; it
was like being reborn."
Returning to California, he
stayed there for two years to
compose his own music. He then
caught on with a blues band, a
trio which played around L.A.,
and cut a record for Columbia.
He is now again back in New
York performing as a single. He
feels he has the "confidence to
handle any audience and relax."
He says, "Music to me is the fine
art of expressing what you feel
into vibrations of sound, for as
long as I can remember music was

SUNY at Binghamtom? Harpur? Which is it, you
might ask. As all names do ,<this one only reflects the
consciousness of the people who use it. Harpur is
freaked-out. Whatever meaning you might attach to
that word is accurate. It must be established at the
outset of this article that alot if not a great majority,
if not nearly all the people at the school, are
drug-users. This immediately should set the whole
school in perspective, because the school merely
expresses the minds of the students. The school is the
minds of the students.
Any school is a small or micro-society. It is a
system within a larger system. The students at
Harpur don't like the larger society and they are
using their school in a (perhaps) unconscious way to
set up a model society or Utopia, whichever you
prefer. Perhaps the goal of this society is for each
individual to be free to express himself in his own
I way. It might also be put "Everybody's gotta do
• their own thing." It doesn't really matter how you
say it as long as you say it. Everybody there, on the
i weekend, is busily preoccupied with himself and his
1
own environment. Two people spent the night
figuring out strategy for the Battle of Cannai, an
ancient battle where Hannibal totally annihilated the
enemy at overwhelming odds. Three others were
busy trying to contact a dead spirit who had haunted
one of them the night before. A small group were in
the lounge of a dorm discussing tenure and how it
would work, with students sharing the buden of
decision. The great majority were in the student
center wandering to and fro looking for something.
Student Power
It is my belief that Harpur is under an entirely new
governmental structure. Melted down, it gives the
students equal power with the faculty and
administration. Equal power means equal voting on
legislation, not policy. All affairs of the school are
handled by the students and the faculty on an equal
basis. This is a very interesting situation which could
be discussed for a lifetime-and probably will. At any
rate the people at Harpur are doing so. Well, at least
they're living it. At Albany the students have no legal
power, but merely act in advisory capacity. The
student government here acts as a voice of student
opinion.

publication of the Alumni
Association of Albany State.
Richard J. Sauers, varsity
basketball caoch, is now in the
midst of Ms 14th season at
SUNY A. In his previous 13 years,
he compiled a record of 206
victories against 98 losses for a
winning percentage of .678,16th
best in the nation among college
coaches with at least 200
triumphs.
.
Sauers came to Albany in 1955,
one year after the school's
basketbaU team had suffered
through a dismal 2-16 campaign.
In his first year as head caoch, he
led the cagers to an 11-9 mark,
and in the intervening seasons, he
has never had a losing team.
His top records have been 17-5
in 1956-57 and 1957-68, 17-8 in
1958 22-6 in 1960-61, 19-6 in
1961-62, 16-6 in 1964-65, and
18-4 in 1967-68.
The 38 year-old coach
approaches his job with a
dedication and determination
which are reflected in his players'
actions. Albany teams under
Sauers seldom give away a game,
but they often steal victory from
F.S.A.
The Faculty-Student Association is a private
corportaion at Harpur ?and probably at all the state
schools. It is chartered by the State of New York to
handle such things as the Snack Bar, bowling alley,
and bookstore, etc. At any rate, they (FSA) built a
new student center building. The students don't care
for it. They have done everything in their power to
destroy it. Because of this vandalism, it is threatened
that the student center will be closed down. In the
main lobby of the center there are speakers which
can be hooked up to a radio or a turntable. This
presented a problem in group co-operation. It hasn't
been solved to date. A fairly large group of kids on a
Friday night with varied musical tastes have to decide
on one record to be played and on a specific volume.
They just couldn't seem to do it. I somehow feel that
the future of America lies in how the kids at Harpur
figure out what is to be played on the music system
in the student center.
One topic which I haven't mentioned, usually of
interest to students, is sex. I really didn't mean to
give the impression that it is missing at Harpur.
Hardly. Again in this area there is an (unconscious?)
effort to reject the standards of the larger society.
Basically, there are very few tight knees at Harpur.
Sex is not hidden and scarce. It is right there and you
have to be blind not to see it. There is a lot of
shuffling of partners, yet I was also lead to believe
that there is a tendency for couples to stay together
for a long period of time. Antoher informant felt
that there are tribes within the community who
practice endogamy. It seemed on the weekend nights
that a lot of people, including myself were wandering
around the student center looking for someone to
spend the night with. Due to the dorm policies (there
are none) people often wind up sleeping in lounges or
somewhere else if their roommate has a member of
the opposite sex in the room.

Long Island Culture
Harpur is a small school. Everybody knows
everyone else fairlywell. It is a closely knit society.
The majority of kids come from the Manhattan-Long
Island area and they have brought their culture with
them. The architecture and society at Harpur reflect
Queens. These are middle class drop-outs. There is no
contempt for strangers. There are no closed groups. I
could get involved with any group with no difficulty.
Very friendly folk. Open to new people and new
ideas. Of interest, there are few black students on
campus.
A.S. Neill tried to create a society of love within a
society of hate at Summerhill. It is unsure how
successful his venture was. No sub-society is an
island. Students spend four years at Harpur and then
where do they go? Out there. This will not be easy
for most. Harpur is trying to create a society of love
within a society of hate. It is unsure how successful
this human experiment will be. The academic and
local community of Harpur are undergoing labor
pains at this point in time. People at Harpur are
concerned about Harpur. They want good to come of
their efforts. They are really trying to bring some
happiness to this world. It isn't easy and it won't be*
easy but they are hassling it through.
We can tell the administration what we want and
pray that it coincides with what they want. I really
didn't mean to editorialize, but I just thought I
would throw that out and see what it did to you.
There was a history teacher who did not wear his
teachership on his back, rather he wore a jacket
proclaiming that he was an alumnus of Martin Van
Buren High School. There was a boy sitting on a
pedastal contemplating existence. There was a crowd
of twenty couples watching "Teenagers from Outer
Space." There was someone in that same room who
was throwing up and was not concerned that he was
sleeping in his product. The people in the room were
busy making up their minds whether or not they
were concerned. I asked somebody how to sit in one
of the modern chairs, and he said that any way was
the right way. A janitor was mopping up the floors in
an academic building. The people in the Snack Bar

FACE 12
Matmen Lose Squeaker;
Springer Gels 20th Win
State's varsity matmen dropped
a heartbreaking match to Fairleigh
D i c k i n s o n , 20-17, this past
Tuesday night at the Albany gym.
The loss came only after, a Dane
wrestler, Curt Whitton, was
pinned in the heavyweight match,
the final one of the evening.
Hie Danes forfeited two weight
classes, at 123 pounds and 167
pounds, giving tip fifteen points
before even starting the meet.
Despite this handicap, they
managed to take five of the seven
remaining matches.
After Pazonski of FDU pinned
Mike Barlotta in the 130 pound
class, Weal, Kind, Hawrylchak,
and Springer of State decisioned
their men.
Fran Weal, in the 137 spot,
scored a close 6-5 win. Bob Kind
won a 15-11 tussle at 143 pounds,
George Hawrylchak gained a 7-4
decision at 152 pounds, and Craig
Springer scored a 6-0 shutout in
the 160 pound class.
Springer's shutout was doubly
sweet for it was his twentieth
career victory as a varsity wrestler.
Craig's victory tied him for fourth
place, all time, for most wins by a
varsity wrestler. He equaled the
three-year record of John
Woytowich (1960-63).
Leading Springer
and
Woytowich are Charlie Kane with
twenty-three, wins (1956-59),
Dave Pause with twenty-six
victories (1957-61), and Gene
Monaco with twenty-eight wins
(1962-65).
Past national champion Warren
Crow does not appear on the list
of all time winners as he only
wrestled two years for the Albany
varsity.
Springer, most recent in a long
line of fine State wrestlers since
the sport's inception in 1955, has

Cagers Face Potsdam,
So. Conn. On Weekend
Their winning streak being stopped by arch-rival Siena, 73-64,
Albany's varsity hoopsters face a pair of games this weekend which
are billed as "must wins" by coach Richard "Doc" Sauers.
The "must" emphasis, of course, refers to State's hopes for an
NCAA Eastern Regional Tournament bid. The bids, which will be
decided some time next week, are directly effected by the records of
those in contention, especially as selestion draws near.
Nine teams are still in contention, Albany being one of the nine.
Two serious threats to a possible bid arose this week. It was learned
that Montclair State of New Jersey was quitting the rival NAIA to
come over to the NCAA ranks. Montclair has a 16-2 record against
strong competition. The second setback of sorts was the
announcement by the national NCAA committee that LeMoyne
College of Syracuse had been selected as the host of the Eastern
region tourney.
This insures LeMoyne one of the four berths in the tourney.
Albany had made it known that it was interested in hosting the
tournament.
State's opponent Friday night is Potsdam State. The Bears are
around the .500 mark, but cannot be counted as an easy victory.
Saturday's home bill features the Southern Connecticut Owls. The
Owls play the toughest competition in New England including Central
Connecticut State (who beat State by a whopping thirty-four points).
Leading them will be top scorer Bill Fiske and 6-5 Frank Morgillo,
their top rebounder. Last year, Albany defeated both clubs on the
road. Potsdam fell, 74-63 and the Owls succumbed by an 88-80 score.
State leads the Potsdam series, 17-6, and trails against Southern, 14-8.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It was announced late last night that Wagner
College of Staten Island has been selected for a berth in the NCAA
Eastern Regional Tournament. This leaves two places still unfilled and
puts great emphasis on the results of this weekend's doubleheader.
The varsity's record to date is as follows:

quality of education.
It was was also announced that
on March 5, 1969, Senator Flynn
will visit the University as an
invited guest of the students.
The Senator will explain and
discuss with students his bill on
banning aid to students convicted
of crimes occurring on University
property.
"Have each student government
support a thoroughly organized
one week strike and boycott of
classes on all SUNY campuses to
be accompanied by a mass rally In
Albany scheduled for March 19."
This was one of the major
resolutions passed unanimously
by C i t i z e n s

(Confederated
Student
Government is a statewide student

representatives of the State
Universities of N.Y.)
This resolution and others were
passed after several meetings
including a general informational
meeting and several workshops.
The representatives were
informed about two proposals
being considered by the State
Legislature. One proposal, drawn
up by State Congressman Ed
Spino, calls for an increase in
tuition to $700 per year. This
means an increase of 75% over the
tuition sew pajid.

idea of increased tuition to fund
these costs would set a precedent
for increases perhaps even on an

of luxury, but a right and
necessity in modern society," and
that tuition increases go against
the tradition and aim of the State
University system, to make higher
education increasingly available to
residents of New York State.
