and bowling competition. Albany
and New Paltz each entered two
contestants in squash.
The squash competition was
completed in 45 minutes. Joan
Murphy of New Paltz was
victorious in both of her matches,
thus winning the trophy. Carol
Perkins and Leslie King of Albany
both lost to Miss Murphy, but tied
for second by defeating New
Paltz's other contestant, Leslie
Hagan, in separate matches.
In volleyball, after the
scheduled ten matches, each team
playing each other team once,
there was a three way tie for first
place between New Paltz,
Cobleskill, and Albany. Two
playoff games were played in
which New Paltz beat Cobleskill,
and Cobleskill beat Albany to
rank them first, second and third
in that order.
In. bowling, Helen Luskin of
New Paltz took the high single
trophy with a socre of 201, and
the high series trophy with a 509.
The New Paltz bowling team
completed their day by taking
first place in the competition with
1705 points. With an outstanding
show of skill and enthusiasm New
Paltz took back with them all of
the trophies and all of the blue
ribbons offered Saturday.

Potter Squeaks
By APA, 34-32
Potter Club took over first
place in AMIA's League I action
last night with a close 34-32 win
over Alpha Pi Alpha. The two
teams had been tied for the lead
with identical 6-1 records before
the 8:30 tussle.
The Club led 16-12 at the half
and by eight points with a minute
to go in the game. APA's Hill
Moon, who scored eleven points
for the losers, sunk a layup. A
quick turnover followed and Gary
Torino cut Potter's leud to four
with a twenty foot jump shot.
Following a missed shot by
Potter, Moon sunk another 20
footer but the final buzzer
sounded before APA could regain
possesion of the ball and try for a
tie
Torino was high in the game
with fifteen points. Masterson had
eleven and Webb had nine for
Potter.
Earlier in the evening, UFS
beat Kappa Beta to keep that
team out of the four team
playoffs which start this Sunday.
The four squads in the playoffs
will be Potter Club, APA, Upsilon
Phi Sigma, and the Bruins.
Sometime this morning, in New York City, the Eastern regional
tournament selection committee of the' NCAA will meet to decide the
remaining two berths in the four team tourney to be held at LeMoyne
College in Syracuse. Both LeMoyne (13-6) and Wagner College (16-6)
of Staten Island have already been selected with nine other schools
still being considered for the two remaining bids.
General consensus at State seems that the Great Danes hardcourters
are neither the last nor the least among those nine teams and hopes
are high that the committee will let its whimsical finger fall on
Albany.
Actually, this whimsical finger follows several obvious guidelines,
three to be exact. They are records, comparison of schedueles, and
pure backroom politics.
The nine teams, as of Monday night, are Buffalo State, Rochester
University, Montclair State, Geneseo State, Hamilton, Southampton,
Oswego State, Farleigh Dickinson (Madison), and Albany.
The first guideline, records, is easy to interpret and several teams
can be quickly eliminated. Farleigh Dickinson, (13-7), Geneseo (9-6),
and Oswego (12 - 4 , but against inferior opponents) can be crossed off
the list.
This leads to the second consideration, comparitive oppoents.
Hamilton, (12-3) has lost important games to Ithaca, Sienna, and
Rochester. Rochester in turn has lost to Ithaca and to Fordam by nine
points each.
Southampton (16-5) has lost to their only common opponent with
the others, Hartwick. They lost that one by ten points. Buffalo State
lost to Oswego State but have impressive victories over Ithaca (20
points), Oneonta (19 points) Potsdam State(lS points) Plattsburgh
(14 points) and Geneseo.
Montclair State of New Jersey ( 1 9 - 2 ) has lost to almost nobody
and should have no trouble getting the third bid in the tourney. It is
the fourth bid that stands in doubt, in this editors eyes, between
Buffalo State and Albany.
Their several impressive wins plus a close 83 - 78 victory over the
University of Buffalo seems to give the edge to Buff State. But the
third guideline, an unwritten one, is still to be considered. Dr. Alfred
Werner, Albany's able athletic director, is a member of the infamous
selection committee. This small fact cannot be discounted. The only
other school in consideration for a bid with a member on the
committee is Hamilton College. This has to give Albany a slight
tactical advantage in the all-important and indefinable politics that
will undoubtedly take place.
The final paragraph to this column will be written in New York by
the selection committee. Here's hoping that paragraph will be a happy
one for Albany.
Swim Club Setback Twice;
Six Team Records Broken
The Albany Swim Club set six
team records in a couble meet last
Saturday at home.
The club lost to Hobart, 68-33
and Harpur, 73-31.
Tim Keating and Pete Klara
were the only winners for Albany.
Keating took the 50 yard freestyle
with a time of 24.1 , while Klara
set a team record with a total of
144.5 points, breaking the old
record of 142.50.
The most outstanding effort of
the day was turned in by the 400

the old team record by almost 15
seconds. The team, consisting of
Bill Hart, Art Axelbank, Tim

MYSKANIA soon

by Tom Carey
Governor Rockefeller asked the
Legislature Monday to lower the
voting age in New York to 18 by
1972.
The Governor backed his
proposal by explaining that the
young people "are ready and
willing to assume the rights and
responsibilities of full citizenship
by age 18."'
He said that a great number of
young adults between 18 and 21
are married, work, pay taxes, and
are subject to the draft.
"A man old enough to defend
his' country is old enough to help
determine the leadership whose
policies affect his very life,"
added the Governor.
With regard to the recent
campus unrest the Governor
argued that "the indefensibly
immature behavior of a scant
fraction of our youth must not
penalize the vast majority of
American youth capable of
exercising

Last night the MYSKANIA Screening Committee, in its report to
Central Council, announced its nominations for the forthcoming
MYSKANIA election. After reviewing thity-nine self-nomination
forms, the Committee presented the following twenty-five
nominations to Council:
Diane Battaglino, John Cromie, Emmet Davis, Robert D'Elena,
Eileen W. Deming, Bertram Devorsetz, Mitchell K. Foster, Philip A.
Franchin , Barb Garley, Marsha Halper, Robert A. Holmes, Robert
Iseman, Paul Lieberman, Fran Litz, Steven E. Lobe!, Victor K.
Looper, Terry D. Mathias, Thomas Nixon, Kathleen V. O'Neil, Peter
Pavone, Jill R. Paznik, Stephanie Rice, Martha Stromei, Gregory A.
Therriault, and James Winslow.
Council then ratified the above names in a 25-4 vote. As provided
by our Constitution, all nominees are in the second semester of their
Junior year, and share the common characteristic of having provided
notable service to the University.
Thirteen of these candidates will be selected on March 5,6, and 7 th
for induction into MYSKANIA.
Organized in 1917 MYSKANIA is the most respected honorary
organization on campus. As such MYSKANIA maintains such duties
as the selection of nominees to our Supreme Court, serves as guardian
of the Freshman class, and plays a significant role in formulating the
aims and objectives of the University.
Council also conducted an informal discussion with Mr. John
Buckhoff, Director of the Physical Plant, and Mr. James Connelly,
Chief of Security Police. A number of issues were clarified.
When queried about undercover agents by Vice President of
Student Association Terry Mathias, Mr. Buckhoff replied, "to our
knowlege there are no undercover agents on campus." He further
assured Council that Albany police will enter campus only upon the
request of President Collins. State Police, including the narcotics
bureau, he noted, will inform President Collins before taking any
on-campus action.

University Council meets at the
University the third Thursday of
every month except during July
and August. Special meetings are
called when there is a matter of
urgency at hand.
Meetings of the University
Council are closed to the general
public. President Collins is present
at all meetings, and is often
accompanied by Dr. Clifton C.
T h o m e , Vice President for
STudent Affairs; Dr. Allan A.
Kuusisto, Vice President for
Academic Affairs; and Dr. Milton
Oldson, Vice President for
Management and Planning. From
time to time, other members of
the academic community are
requested to attend Council
meetings for the purpose of
submitting reports .
The concept of University
Council differs from that of most
other University organs in that its
function is completely removed
from the academic life. It
therefore has very little to do with
students and faculty, and devotes
itself to the duties enumerated
under theEducation Law . The
administration is the only means
of communication between the
students and faculty and the
Council members. Likewise,

The New York State schedule
of Scholar Incentive Awards will
!be revamped, if a bill introduced
by Senator Edward J. Speno
(R-East Meadow) is passed and
signed Into law. Speno said, "This

priorities in our support of all
levels of assistance and it is
necessary to reevaluate and
readjust these awards." He
continued, "The Intent of this
assistance is to help students in
families with limited income.
"This bill will shift the
emphasis giving larger annual
payments to students from
families in the lower and middle
income groups."
The proposal, on the heels of

continue to give financial support

The feelings of the crowd varied from high optimism to bitter

A middle aged mother with her four children said she was
disappointed that Rockefeller did not personally hear their
complaints. She added, "I thought he was man enough to at least
listen, but I guess he isn't."
She continued, "I think our demonstration did some good because
we showed by our number that many people are upset about the
cutbacks."
A young man from the Bronx said, "This is just the beginning. The
demonstrations are going to get worse if they don't do something.
This was just a demonstration; if they don't do something about the
cutbacks, next time they might not have a building."
Many of thjp j demonstrators carried signs such as "Business profits

"Can you live with Rats and Roaches crawling all over your house?
We can't and we need better housing."

COMMENT
Assembly Speaker Duryea named a special task force Wednesday
to draft legislation relating to campus demonstrators and riots.
This force is composed of four Republican conservatives, namely:
Charles Henderson from Stueben County, Suchin of Dobbs, Ferry,
Kenneth Bartlett of Syracuse and Francis McCloskey of Wantaugh.
The purpose of this special committee is to study the recently
passed- Senate bill (ASP, February 18) and. possibilities of revising it.
However, it must be understood that "there is no disagreement (of
intent) between the two houses." (Henderson)
On the contrary, from what we know of the members composing
the committee we can be assured of an even harsher and more
inappropriate bill than has been passed in the Senate,
Henderson has prefiled in the Assembly two' bills that may be
approved by this committee. One states that the education law
provide for:
"Denial or revocation of scholarship, scholar incentive benefit and
fellowship to person participating in violent public demonstration."
The other bill to amend the education law calls for: "Denial or
revocation of scholarship, scholar incentive benefit and fellowship to
person using or possessing illegal drugs."
Interestingly enough, Henderson has been chosen by Duryea as
chairman of the task force.
Suchiri;, another task force designee, is the sponsor in the
Assembly of Senator Flynn's bill.
In other words, both of these men have already revealed their bias
for the intent of such legislation. Yet they are the very ones whose
task it is to draft legislation. Their bias will certainly blind them to
any objective conclusions that might be reached had other, less
prejudiced members been delegated such a task.
It might also be suggested, in view of the fact that all of the task
force members support the type of punitive legislation regarding
students, that two of the assemblymen involved be replaced by others
who are in opposition to legislative disruption of the academic
community. This would certainly be a more equitable and effective
confrontation of the issues involved in drafting legislation relating to
campus demonstrations and riots.
As it stands now, the best we can expect will be, in effect, more
specific and therefore more rigid than the original bill passed by the
Senate.
If this is the case, New York's legislators will have brought the state
closer to what appears to be an inevitable and perhaps cataclysmic
confrontation.

Why MYSKANIA?
The selection of 13 Juniors to MYSKANIA is a traditional event on
campus--one of the few traditions still present here. Over the past
year, we have many times pondered the purpose of this tradition.
If one examines the original aim of MYSKANIA, the reason for the
organization—and its desirability—becomes more clear.
The current rationale for MYSKANIA'S existence is that it rewards
students for a "job well done." Although it cannot be denied that this
reasoning is inextricably tied up with MYSKANIA, its role, ideally, is
far more than that.
If MYSKANIA was intended to be no more than an honorary for
the hardest working members of the student body, it would not have
been designated as an elective position in the junior year.
By making MYSKANIA members Seniors, instead of Alumni, the
organization is transformed (in ideal terms) from an honorary, to a
body which is depended upon for direction.
MYSKANIA's rightful place in this University structure would be
to aid in policy creation, to push for reform, to advise on problems.
The 13 most respected students on campus should provide direction
for the student body. MYSKANIA, by virtue of its unique position as
a liason between the Administration and the students (who select and
elect them), has a power that could be unique.
Instead of being a "guardian of tradition" as our handbook tells us
MYSKANIA should be, we hope that MYSKANIA aims at being a
"guardian of reform." The challenge set forth to newly elected
MYSKANIA members is to find the medium ground between needed
advisement and overbearing aid.
When voting takes place next week, we urge all students to vote for
those nominees who, through their dedication, experience, and
imagination, offer the gieatest potential for real leadership. The true
challenge MYSKANIA faces is how to be a forward looking
organization-instead of a past leaders club.
We hope that next week you will select those who can truly rise to
that challenge.

POLICY NOTE: The aim of the Albany Student Press this term is to
give correct and accurate, but incisive and descriptive, views of the
news. To this end, we have instituted a Features section, which aims
at subjective impressions along with factual reporting. We have also
given our reporters the freedom of expression of mood and
background which may be seen as "coloring the news". We do this not
to advocate any position, but rather to point out sides of issues which
might otherwise be missed.

Placement Policies
To the Editors:
There is a move to ban all recruiting on our
campus. This includes all educational, business, and
social welfare organizations, and all government
agencies including Peace Corps and VISTA.
The advocates of this move claim that it is an
infringement on the rights of the students to allow
recruiters such as Dow Chemical on campus because
Dow, like some other businesses, is producing a
product that is of moral controversy.
In a democratic society it is an individual's right to
choose where he shall work. If a SUNYA student
does not want to work for an organization, he is not
coerced to do so.
If he wishes to work for a firm or government
office that supports some controversial issue—that is
his right.
It has long been University policy to have an
Open Campus—open to all groups. If we ban
recruiters, we are closing our campus.
University Placement is a service to students that is
important to their future. It's primary function is
career counseling and the Service would find it
difficult to keep abreast of the career opportunities
made available to the Service by government
officials, educators, and businessmen if recruiters are
banned.
Another function accomplished in recruiter's
visiting campus is that it helps build the reputation of
our relatively new emerging institution.
Recruiters learn much about the capabilities and
qualifications of the students while they are here.
Universities are known by what their graduates do in
their professions as well as by the excellence of
faculties and research facilities.
Finally, by having interviews on campus, students
save time and expense of traveling to offices which
are often far from the Albany area.
In summation, I ask that every student consider
his future as well as the present and then ask himself
if a disservice is being done by closing down campus
recruitment.

The Albany Student Press assumes no
responsibility for opinions expressed in its
columns and communications as such expressions
do not necessarily reflect its views.
Writing hopefully from an
objective point of view, I wish to
question the demands of the black
students of the University, first
from a semantic standpoint, and
secondly, from a practical one.
My first reservation is
concerned with the use of the
word "demand." I have no doubt
as to the collective desire of all
minority students on campus to
bestow to others in a similar state
of affairs the same educational
benefits one is afforded by
attending the University. And I
sincerely share with them this
desire.
However, to demand that this
goal be fulfilled is to lower oneself
to the threat of an application of
some type of force, a method of
operation which is deplorable
from the rational point of view to
which an equalitarian organization
such as the Black Student Alliance
should be oriented.
Unfortunately, this reservation
is somewhat muffled by the
apathetic society with which we
are all confronted. And my
o p p o s i t i o n to the demands
presented by the black students
will possibly make me appear a
spokesman
for
that
semi-detestable social order.
That is not my wish.
It seems that "request" has
become an unknown word, and it
is a fact that this word is all too
ineffective. So, we acclimate
ourselves t o t h e society's
conditions, and we don't request,
we demand.
And in doing so, we relegate
ourselves to the position of the
same society. Bravo! At once, we
win and we are defeated.
Demanding that three hundred
m i n o r i t y group students be
admitted to the University in the
fall is not only discriminatory, but
also has overtones of belligerence
and child-like obstinance.
On the other hand, a request to
that effect illustrates the position
of the black students on the issue
of inherent minority rights, and at
the same time shows them to be a
respectable organization, lacking a
disruptive nature.
The choice is not mine; I am
not black. The question before
the black students is: should we
sacrifice principle for results? If
the answer is no, I would
encourage the black students to
reconsider their demands.
The second point I wish to
make concerns the practicality of
the demands. It is obvious that
the demands are discriminatory

THE RED FLAG
by Roberto DiScipio
This semester brings to the
forefront the creation of a new
organization on this campus, the
Frente Latino (Latin Front). It is
a student alliance, which through
education and communication,
aims to organize all the Latin
cultural groups and combat the
oppressive discrimination and
exploitation of our people.
The Latins are a universal race
in that there is no Latin race. We
are fighting to preserve the Latin
cultural tradition and heritage. We
are not fighting any other group,
except
the
oppressors.
Witch-hunting for anti-Latins will
not help our cause. We must
bu jld something positive, a
Pan-Latin consciousness. There is
a need for a resurgency of Latin
pride; the group that constitutes
the "Frente Latino" has already
demonstrated its positive attitude.
But we aro concerned with the
rest of our people, the "lazy" and
" s l e e p y " Latinos that leave
everything for "manana." We
must not allow ourselves nor
otehrs to create such an image of
the Latin. The odds are against us
from many sides, but before we
combat the outside influences, we
had better rid ourselves of our
"Jose Jimenez" complex. We are a
rich people by our very nature,
and we should not allow this
wealth to fade away merely
because it is not made of dollars.
This country was founded by
Anglo-Saxon Protestants who held
ideas extremely hostile to the
Latin world. Latin immigrants
were spat upon, insulted, and
called dagos, spies, wops, greasers.
A Black Legend spread through
the land, portraying Latins as a
cruel and inferior people. Italians
in 1891 were massacred in a
program by Anglo-Saxon nativists
in New Orleans. Mexicans were
enslaved and are still subjected in
the southwest, unable to obtain
the land which has always been
rightfully theirs. In Louisiana, the
French and Spanish Creoles and
Cajuns were seized by the Anglais.
The story of Sacco and Vanzetti is
already well known. In 1898 the
Anglo-Saxons seized Puerto Rico,
Cuba, and the Philippines (They
said it was thei I duty to
"Christianize" these countries,
forgetting that they had been
Catholic long before they stepped
in). There were the numberless
invasions of Latin nations:
Nicaragua in 1912, the Dominican
Republic in 1916, Haiti and
Mexico in 1916. Teddy Roosevelt
once said, "We've got to teach
those Dagos to behave." There
was also the "kindly" President
W i l s o n , w h o believed in
Anglo-Saxib supremecy. It was
Wilson who sent the "bandido"
Pershing into Mexico to pursue
the great fighter Pancho Villa. It
was he who sent marines to
Hispaniola, and who later, with
virtually no provocation, was
responsible for the disaster in
Vera Cruz, 1914. The Latin does
not know how to govern himself,
so Wilson believed. This was
obviously
implied in his
statement: "We must teach the
Latin Americans to elect good
men."
One of the main exponents of
this false image is today's media.
" T h e U n t o u c h a b l e s , " "The
Brotherhood," "The Massacre of
St. Valentine's Day," the "Pancho
V i l l a " series--all of these
contribute to the Black Legend.
There is also Frito Bandido, Jose
Jimenez, the Italian fruit peddler,

But again Collins explained
away. He said that he disliked the
" s t r i d e n t language of t h e
Demands." However the BSA
made demands only after trying
to work their requests through
normal channels and had been
fouled up by the same. Now by
g r a n t i n g t h e demands, the
administration was proving that it
would "keep the fiath." The
strident character was no longer
necessary as a result, and we could

He interpreted reasonable to
mean that while the students
would advise in faculty hirings, he

Albany State's varsity grapplers go into their finaldual meet this
Saturday wiht a less than impressive record on the surface. The
surface consists of one victory in eleven meets. But the true story can
only be known when a look is taken at the scorebookk.
Bill Mull's charges have been forfeiting two and three weight classes
in each meet. With such a disadvantage, few good teams could win
even one meet. Despite this handicap, the team has consistently won
five out of the seven remaining weight match-ups in more than half of
their matches. This has insulted in such heartbreaking losses as last
Saturday's 18-17 setback at Harpur College.
In addition to the team's hard luck history, their poor record has
overshadowed several outstanding individual performances. Craig
Springer broke into the elite group of Albany wrestlers with twenty or
more varsity victories this year and now stands third on the all-time
list with twenty-one wins.
Fran Weal, wrestling in the 137 pound slot, has gone undefeated
and unnoticed this year. He has beaten nine straight opponents
including two previously undefeated men. Both Craig and Fran are
seniors and will be wrestling for the last time in a State uniform this
Saturday.
Cortland, always good, has a strong team at all the weights and
looks to give the Mullmen the fight of their lives. The varsity and
freshman matches are scheduled to start at 2 pm, this Saturday in the
main gym.

Students conduct
recruitment poll
by Norm Rich
Students will enjoy an added option at the poll March 5 , 6 , and 7.
To be examined, in the form of an opinion poll, is the right of
external organizations to actively recruit students on campus.
Proposed by Dave Neufeld, chairman of the Social and Political
Positions Committee, the poll will contain the following alternatives:
/. "Open Policy"—campus recruitment for all those who notify thi
placement office.
Recruitment
poll
Presently the policy on campus. It has been persued by this
University for the past one-hundred and twenty-five years.
Operationally it takes the form of the Placement Service, located
on the first floor of the Administration Building. Its function "is that
of counseling and service to the student."
Specifically, Placement Service receives, from a number of
organizations, requests to meet with prospective student employees.
These organizations may come from any sector of the community, the
only stipulation being that the organization is "legally constituted" as
defined by our Federal Government.

All interviews are conducted at the Placement Service offices, thus
excluding the possibility of "sidewalk solicitation" in such places as

A few days prior to arrival, the organization calls Placement Service

Based on this information, the organization decides whether or not it

Gale McAllister
McAllister
bv Gale
Staff Reporter
Mr. George Seyfarth, Assistant
Director of Residences, in a recent
interview, explained why room
and board costs will go up next
year and answered many
questions concerning next year's
housing problems.
For the '69-'70 school year,
(for a normal occupancy room),
the cost will be $565 as compared
to last year's cost of $395. This
increase of $170 is accounted for
the by the 80% rise in the cost of
construction over the past five
years.
The New York State Dormitory
Authority (who are in charge of
building residences for the New
York State University System) sell
bonds to obtain the capital
needed to build housing, and the
University must provide paying
students to occupy these
buildings.
Seyfarth explained that in
order to pay off the increased
amount of bonda, caused by the
inflation of building expense, the
Dormitory Authority had to raise
the housing rates.
When asked about tripling in
the residence halls for next year
Mr. Seyfarth replied that one
third of the double rooms on the
Alumni Quad will be increased to
three person rooms and all four
person suitos on Dutch, Colonial,
and State Quads will be increasod
to fiv'3 person suites.
This tripling is necessary
because six dorms in Indian Quad
will not be completed until tho
spring somostor of 1970 and two
other dorms and tho towor will
not bo finished until the fall
semester of 1970.
The cost for a normal
occupancy room will be $660 per
year, for an increased occupancy
suite on Dutch, Colonial, or State
the cost will be $484, and $420
for an increased occupancy room
on Alumni Quad.
Next year's 20 meal plan cost
will rise from $580 to $620 and
tho 14 meal plan will increase
from $460 to $500. The other
meal plans are lunch and dinner

Thuraday to consider the
"abolition of all abortion laws."
Miss Warren, representing the
Radical Women's Association of
SUNYA, explained to the
Committee that "Since women
are those most affected by the
abortion issuo, they should make
the decisions concerning it,"
According to the statement
road by Miss Wurren, the
Association feels that the
procedures of the Legislature,
such as this hearing, point out and
emphasize how even in issues
directly affecting them, women
have no voice."
The statement continued, "The
fact that there are no women on
this committee reflects the lack of
representation of women in the
entire state Legislature."
Miss Warren argued that "mere
abortion reform will continue to
mako abortion available only to
those who can afford to pay
medical and legal foes."
She added, "Any abortion
reform that does not extend fully
the final decision to all women is
not adequate reform."
