COMMENT
Campus recruiting
The basic question we must address ourselves to is not whether the
placement service has a right to be her, but rather if University funds
should be used for Placement Service salaries and expenses.
We regret that University funds, so scarce in this year of great need,
are being spent on nonacademic items such as placement service.
However, we feel that the funds are justified since this is a service
open to the use of all students.
'..'_
," In much the same way, the Counseling Service on campus is funded
by the State and is available to all students, though many of them
may not have a need for those service.
Whether the organization represented is Dow Chemical or VISTA is
of little consequence, for if we permit VISTA to recruit, how can we
deny Dow? The rationale that Dow is immoral does not hold, for
although we may agree that Dow is participating in "immoral"
activities, in much the same way Dan Button viewed Mark Rudd's
appearance at this University as "unmoral," He was' soundly (and
rightly) chastised by students and editors-so we cannot turn the fable
and use that faulty rationale in this case to our favor.
Although, we have, reservation as to the propriety of using State
funds for placement, we ate the-service as a service to students and
therefore urge you to vote for an "open campus."

Senator Flynn
Senator Flynn, sponsor of the Senate's anti-riot proposal will be on
campus tomorrow (Ballroom, 7:30 pin)'to explain the bill.
We strongly suggest that students conduct themselves in a decorous
manner. We advise this because We feel that students.in proving their
respect for freedom of speech and lawful assembly, will refute the
legislature's contention that these rights should be restricted.
Here is a chance to find out exactly what was on the minds of the
Senators when they passed this purely punitive legislation. The
opportunity will perhaps be available to question the chances of
success of a similar bill revised or modified, passing in the Assembly.
An important point to examine is who shall determine what
"unlawful assembly, aggravated harassment, and criminal nuisance are
defined as?" (Assemblywoman Cook) Who shall determine guilt or
innocence?
We expect the questions to be direct and explicit, exhibiting
understanding of the gravity of such action by the Senate.
We would like to remind students that the Assembly, next in line to
pass judgment on the intent of this legislation will be watching Mr.
Flynn's reception by this campus.
Recommendation
The decision reached by this newspaper is to not recommend any
candidates for MYSKANIA this year.
We do this for a variety of reasons. Personal biases and close
relationships with many candidates, especially those involved
intimately with this newspaper, have created a situation which we feel
deems it inadvisable for us to make recommendations. To influence
the student body, with a viewpoint which may be less than objective,
seems to us a misuse of the Editorial powers of the ASP.
But in forfeiting our opportunity to name those we see as most
deserving, we do not relinquish our right to chastise the student body,
Far too'often, you vote for those whose compilation of positions is
impressive, rather than examining what the candidate has done with
those positions. We urge you to reward those who have proven
themselves efficient and capable at their positions-those who have
provided leadership and inspiration; not those who have acquired
"good images."
The maturity of a body of voters may be judged by the criteria
they, apply in choosing their officers. It is our fervent hope that the
maturity of our student body is exhibited favorably during these
elections.

We view the current poll on Recrutiment on Campus as a definite
good;it hat stirred thought and stimulated discussion.
We agree with those who call for the continuation of the present
"open campus" policy, although we can see merit in the argumetns of
those favoring a restriction on recruiting.
" This campus is not an "ivory tower" refuge from the outer world.
It ideally is a better preparation for entrance into that world.
"CLeansing the campus" of outside, influences will not make it more
pure; it will make it less real.
We see the placement service as exactly that-a service for students
who are concerned with the pressures of job getting and employment
after graduation. Whether or not you see the campus as the proper
place for preparation for employment, the fact is that a majority of
students on campus are here in order to more properly prepare
themselves for a vocation. The service is a valuable aid to them.

Math Revision
To All Students:
The Math Department is now revising its Calculus
courses for the Fall semester of 1969. Instead of the
present system of three moderate size classes, and
one discussion per week, there will be two hour
lectures to a class of 200 students each and two
discussion groups.
This will hinder the student-faculty relationship
and also the students' ability to learn. The amount of
personal problems that you can direct to your
instructor will be drastically reduced.
We feel now it the time to question this action in
relation to our own benefits. If you want action, sign
the petitions that will be posted in the Earth Science
building and on the dinner line at State Quad. Act

To the Editors:
This tetter is in regard to the statements made in
the February 19th issue of the New York Timet
article concerning U Thant's stand on the latest El Al
incident. We deplore his lack of reciprocal action
concerning Israel and its Arab neighbors.
On December 31, 1968, a Security Council
meeting was convened to condemn Israel's bloodiest
counter-attack on the Beirut airport. Yet, this most
recent attempt on fifty El Al passengers has not
elicited any condemnation by the Security Council.
This is a'gross inequity demonstrating the Security
Council's apparent judgment of the country involved
rather than the specific incident.
When the Popular Front, Al Fatah, and other Arab
guerilla organizations Involve other countries, it
should be the duty of the United Nations to
intervene here, as well, regardless of whether these
groups are a national army, or are abetted and
protected by the countries from which they orginate.
Such unwritten approval of Arab terrorist attacks are
merely glossed over by the Security Council, while
Israel is begged ' not to retaliate for the wanton
destruction of its property. How can the United To the Editor:

Capitol Correspondent
More than 500 State students grilled Sen. John E. Flynn, R—Yonkers, Wednesday on the bill he has proposed to cut off state financial aid
to students convicted in connection with on-campus demonstrations.
Flynn, appearing on campus for a lecture, said, "I knew when I came here tonight I wasn't going to be given a piece of strawberry
shortcake."
Flynn said the only way the Legislature can "express the desires of its constituents" is to control the financing of the state scholarship
program.
Flynn pointed out that he has received many letters from parents in his district asking why the state gives money to students who violate
the penal law, white their sons and daughters do not have the opportunity for higher education.
The former mayor of Yonkers said that he did not believe his bill attempts to curtail the right to express dissent. He added, "I believe
absolutely that every individual has the right to express themselves—whether by assembly, parade or by a picketing operation."
Leonard Kopp, Albany State student, questioned Flynn's remarks about being the great friend of education.
Kopp said, "You talked about all the students who cannot get into the state college and said you want more students to go to college.
How, then, can you allow the budget to be cut by five percent?"
The Senator replied that the Legislature is trying to amend the governor's across-the-board cut into a selective cut.
Donald Whitlock, Albany State director of financial aids, told Flynn the Legislature is leading the public to believe that his bill is "a
panacea for disruption. The taxpayer sees it as an answer to a real problem, but it is not."
Whitlock added that the bill would Mtablish "disconcertingly unequal systems of penalties for students. The affluent will manage to
survive financially, while the poor
will not."
When asked if he though the
Governor would sign the bill if it
reached his desk, Flynn said he
did not know and "could not
answer that."
He added that Rockefeller
"makes his decision after hearing
the consensus of his various aids. I
have no idea of what he is going
to do."
Commenting

his
confrontation with the students,
Flynn said he "was pleased at the

admire their frankness and think
this was a wonderful meeting."

MARCH
on Capitol
next week
by Valerie Ives
Staff Reporter
The Confederated Student
Government has proposed that all
students in SUNY Schools
participate in a student strike the
week of March 17. The strike is
being conducted as a protest
against the legislature endorsing a
5 percent cut back in the State
University Budget.
Central Council, according to
Duncan Nixon, President of
S t u d e n t Association, will
probably come out with a
statement on the strike after
hearing the results of a conference
held in Buffalo this week on the
subject.
It is assumed that there will be
other groups and individuals who
will participate in the strike on
their own, whether or not Central
Council supports it.
The strike would involve a
boycott of classes on March 17
and 18, and a student march on
the Capitol on the 19th. As many
students as possible from the
other State Universities will be
brought here to take part in the
march.
Although the strike is mainly to
protest the proposed cut in the
budget, it is also being held to
support the proposals that the
Confederated
Student
Government came out with at a
conference held in Oswego Feb.
21-23.
It was brought out at this
conference, according to the
state's ethnic census, that less
than one percent of the students
at SUNY are black and less than
.05 percent are listed as "other"
(i.e. Puerto Rican, Cuban, Asian,
or American Indian), while close
to 20 percent of the state's
population is non-white.
Thus, the following proposals
came out of the conference:

A. According to Dr. Robert B. Morris, Dean of
the University College, 56 credit hours are necessary
for Junior status. Sophomore and Senior status
require 24 and 88 credit hours respectively.
The number of credit hours necessary to attain
the various class rankings has not been altered
because the current totals are much below the 30,
60, and - 90 credit hour totals necessary for
successful completion of a four.year program of
study.
O. Why aren't condoms and other contraceptive
devices sold in the bookstore?
A. New York State Penal Law, Section 17478
Chapter 685 specifies that contraceptive devices
may be sold only in licensed prescription outlets.
Q. Now that the Speech requirement has been
dropped, can the students who have already taken
speech apply those three eredit hours

A. Again we consulted Dean Morris of the
University College for the answer. A Speech course
taken previously to fulfill speech requirements may
be used as a free elective only. The exception, of

During the week of

committee will sponsor a series of
seminars on drug use. This series it
open to faculty only at this time,
with expansion predicated on the
response of the teaching and
administrative personnel here.
Basically, the seminars will be
run to educate the faculty and
administrators about the part that
drug use plays in the youth
sub-culture on campus. The
lectures are being given so that
many of the myths and errors
common in contemporary press
r e po rts , a b o u t
the
psychopharmacblogical, and
behaviorial aspects of drug use,
may be dispelled.
Topically, the lectures will go
beyond the study of drug effects.
They will include analyses of the
moral and social concerns which
have led to the current concern
over drug use in our society. This
information will be presented to
clarify our current position, not
to make judgements about drug
use.
The seminar! will go even
beyond this point, to explore the
meanings of drug use in the youth
subculture. They will also explore
alternative to the present punitive
policy concerning drug use.
If the seminars are successful at
the faculty and administrative
level, they may be expanded to
include student participation.
The seminars will be led by

Continued from page I
1. That SUNY campuses have a
minimum of black students and
an unspecified number, but
substantially higher percentage of
Third World Students enrolled
this September. Also discussed
was a policy of "open admission"
for all Black, Third World and
white working class students.
2. That black studies and other
ethnic studies be initiated in
which students will play the
decisive role in formulating
courses end hiring practices.
3. That the State Legislature
announce its willingness to fund
such projects in addition to the
previously granted funds.
4. That the money necessary
for all these programs come from
the corporations and increase in
the percentage of state income
taxes to the rich rather from an
increase in the sales tax.

Bends
representatives to the conferences.
President of the Student
Association, Duncan Nixon, gave
his opinion on the above
proposals.
In general, he feels that "some
are good ideas," but that "they
are unrealistic."
Of the first part of the first'
proposal, he said that it should be
worked for at ull possible speed,
but that five percent cannot be
reached by next year. But he does
feel that SUNY should expand its '
present program for recruiting
black and Third World Students!
As for the proposal for "open
admission," he feels thut'it makes
no sense. Just opening enrollment
to reach a percentage is unrealistic
and this isn't the way to go about
increasing the percentage of these
students. The potential for work
must be considered.
Of the second proposal, Nixon
is not too sure, since he feels he
has nothing to judge on. It is a
little unclear what is meant by
ethnic studies and what would be
involved beyond that.
It should be taken into
consideration what contribution
these studies would make and that
there is no point in initiating them
unless there would be enough
students taking them to make it
worthwhile. He feels that it will
be quite a while before there is
enough.
Nixon said that there is no
harm in doing what the third
proposal suggests—asking the
legislature to fund these projects
and he supports asking them.
However, he feels it is not
likely that the legislature would
agree to give funds to programs of
this nature and that it would
probably have to come out of the
University budget.
Of the last proposal, he thinks
that it is a reasonable request. The
sales tax, he noted, is not the
fairest way because it taxes
everyone equally and is an
inappropriate way of getting
money.
He suggested that if the present
policy of taxation was corrected
by eliminating loopholes and if
stricter limitations were put on
the corporations' taxes, enough
money could be made for these
programs.

SpringApproaches
And Baseball Too
With the sport's eye on Dick
Sauer's NCAA bound basketball
team, Coach Bob Burlingame's
preseason baseball warmups have
gene virtually unnoticed.
Yet, for the past week, twenty
hopefuls have been working out in
the "upstairs gym." Calisthenics,
geared to the loosening and
strengthening of muscles, has been
the bulk of the conditioning.
Also, in the indoor facilities are
machines strengthening and
leveling one's batting swing,
ironmikes pitching plastic balls,
and a newly constructed batting
cage.
The results of all this will first
be seen when the Danes open
their season against a new rival on
the baseball schedule, Stony
Brook University, on April 7.
A single road game against
R.P.I, and a doubleheader at
Oswego will prime the Albany
varsity for its home debut against
archrival Siena on Wednesday,
April 16.
With a minimum of returning
starters, Coach Burlingame will be
counting on freshmen and
transfers to fill the spots left open
by graduation.
An encouraging note, however,
is that the fall baseball team,
under the guidance of Coach
by Glenn Sapir
Burlingame, showed signs of.
ability, highlighted by its 3-2
victory over Long Island
University, last spring's NCAA
district champion.
Furthermore, Rich Spiers, a
regular last year, but sidelined this
fall with a broken wrist, should be
back in shape.
A knee injury to ace starter
George Webb, and a leg bruise to
Captain Jack Sinnott show that
the team is not physically 100%
even
now.
Furthermore,
basketballer
Jim Sandy,
Burlingame's only catcher, must
stay healthy to keep the team
going at top efficiency.
What's more, basketball has
naturally interfered with Sandy's
baseball conditioning, and the
post-season tourney only prolongs
the delay. As of now, Spiers is
tabbed as the number two
catcher.
The seriousness of the catching
problem is further highlighted by
the fact that the varsity has

Interesting—that is the word for
Michael Anderson's film "Shoes
of the Fisherman." It i s ' a
commentary on some of the
contemporary issues of our time
in relation to the Church,
specifically, the Roman Catholic
Church.
Starring the film are the two
outstanding talents of Anthony
Quinn and Oscar Werner. Both
give excellent performances which
make the film better than it might
have been. Throughout the film
there is a lot of excess time
s e e m i n g l y wasted on the
countryside and city that is
Rome.
The main story itself is
concerned with a Russian bishop
who becomes Pope. The film
opens in a concentration camp in
Siberia where Kiril (Anthony
Quinn) has been a political
prisoner for twenty years.
He is called to see the Premier
and offered his freedom on
conditions that are never really
made clear to the viewer. He is
taken back to Rome by an
emissary from the Vatican (Oscar
Werner) where he is made a
Cardinal.
The film continues and as fate
will have it, the Pope dies and
after a few insights into the
character of Kiril, he is elected the
new head of the Church.
The plot itself is not that
important; it is the "comments"
made in the film which are. There

FRIDAY MARCH 7,1969
Voluntary armed forces
suggested as substitute
Two years ago U.S. Senator Mark O. Hatfield introduced a bill substituting a voluntary armed force for
the present selective service system. The bill was not directly considered by the Armed Services Committee
and efforts to incorporate amendments in the Selective Service Act were defeated. The draft's continuance
emphasizes the inconsistency of government coerced service with America's concept of freedom. This was
the priniciple reason that Hatfield introduced the Voluntary Military Manpower Procurement Act of 1969.
; This year, the chances of passage are somewhat better than in 1967. Major news magazines such as TIME
and NEWSWEEK have contained articles commenting favorably upon a voluntary military; President Nixon
supports the concept as well as well-known figures from both sides of the political spectrum including John
K. Galbraith, James Farmer, David Dellinger, Milton Friedman, and Barry Goldwater. However, well-known
political leaders, economists, and even the President may not be the catalyst for ending the draft. In order
to move the nation it will be necessary that those who have fought conscription over the past few years
enter the discussion and make their views known. The present Selective Service Act will not terminate until
1971 unless action to change that situation is taken.
Portions of Senate proceedings are included below to familiarize you with Hatfields' proposal. The
quoted material is from the Congressional Record dated January 22, 1969. It consists of Hatfield's
comments to the Senate.
"President Nixon has endorsed the principle of a volunteer army; the Department of Defense has
indicated through'various spokesmen the advantages of this manpower procurement concept; and numerous
political, social, religious, and educational organizations have indicated their agreement.
A certain amount of this support has resulted, of course, from the growing discontent with the Vietnam
adventure and the large-scale drafting of men for this conflict. The young of the country on whom the
draft falls so inequitably, especially for the maintenance of a war many of them feet is morally indefensible,
are reflecting their dissent in ever more vocal numbers. The minorities are also restive under the draft. The
Nation is divided by the provisions of an act which require what so many patently do not believe in."
"I firmly beleive that each man has a moral obligation to serve his country, but he must be granted as
much freedom as possible to choose what form this service shall take Conscriptionmust always be the last
desperate resort in meeting military manpower needs, and not merely the easy way out, as it is now. There

Assemblymay broaden
Flynn anti-riot bill
by Tom Carey
Capital Correspondent
The Assembly task force to
investigate "equitable and
workable" ways of handling
campus protest is seriously
considering broadening the Flynn
Bill already passed by the Senate.
Assemblyman
Charles
Henderson, Chairman of the task
force, has requested from all
higher education institutions
"Their rules and regulations now
in affect for maintaining law and
order on the campus."
Henderson said that the task
force members agreed that the
provisions of the Flynn bill or
regulations to it should not be
"limited to just the students," but
also should include the faculty.
Henderson added that the task
force will offer an initial report
today or sometime next week, but
will continue its investigation.
Several Assemblymen have said
that they believe the bill that
comes out of their house
will—"get the faculty."
It is possible that the task force
will recommend that faculty who
encourage or participate in
demonstrations that disrupt the
education procedure may lose
their tenure rights.
Another possible proposal
would be denying State aid to
private colleges and universities
that do not set and enforce
provisions to handle campus
unrest.
The task force may propose
that students receiving State aid
would be denied this aid if they
attend a college that has been
deemed lax on establishing and
enforcing measures to maintain
law and order.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Flynn
. Senator Flynn's appearance on 'campus was handled most
appropriately by. the students present. We applaud their considerate
restraint.
Their succinct and pointed questions .revealed the gross
miscalculations and lack of understanding on the part of the Senate in
. its passage of the anti-riot bill. We hope that members of the
Assembly, and particularly the special task force on campus
disturbances, will consider these questions, and the conduct of the
students who asked them, when similar legislation comes before them.
What was made most clear to Senator Flynn is the students' desire
for changes in the social structure and social reality of a democracy.
That we know the legislature will make laws to preserve a rigid status
quo, socially unsatisfactory for those who believe in democracy, that
we are prepared to sacrifice for changes in that status quo, was the
beautiful and obvious result of the dialogue that took place.
That we must organize and coordinate our ideas and actions in
order to mobilize as a powerful political force for change is clearly the
next step. We must not let the legislature of the State of New York, or
the Congress of the United States, forget the good intentions of the
majority; we cannot leave thern to freely practice their insane follies.
We suggest that students here organize now, support the existing
organizations, and that these organizations coalesce and unify against
:uch anti-democratic measures.

'Cuttyed' Up
To the Editor: Re: Robert Cutty's review of THE
WORD.
To compare THE WORD with PRIMER, going so
far as to speak of "PRIMER alumnus" is to make the
assumption that both magazines have the same goal.
Note that one is a University Review, the other a
magazine.
And further, because of this difference, the cannot
be reviewed using the same criteria. A University
Review, such as PRIMER, is necessarily a
compendium of separate pieces—there is no specific
unity striven for. A magazine, such as THE WORD is
a specific unifying element. Mr. Cutty's review
confuses this distinction: he fails to see the forest for
the trees. His review is of pieces, not of a magazine.
It is interesting, albeit unfortunate, that no
mention was made of the layout of THE WORD. The
specific handling of space and contrast was done
purposefully. Mr. Cutty mentions his approval of the
photography, but not in the context of its relation to
the accompanying writing.
Of course, if the writing is placed on the
photograph, the relation does become more obvious.
Mr. Cutty did discern this much. Consideration of its
composition may have provided Mr. Cutty with the
insight that THE WORD is more than a random
sampling of SUNYA literary talent.

State (iniMNfty of New York at Albany
To the Editors:
The constitution of central council section 4 a&b
states that the president and vice president of
central council shall be elected by a two-thirds vote
of its (central council's) total membership instead of
a direct vote by a majority of the student body.
If one of the aims of central council is to bring
the university community closer together than why
should its officers remove themselves from the
control of their constituents?
This aloof s t y l e of e x e c u t i v e makes
commonpurposes and goals harder to achieve among
the many diverse facets of campus life. In an age of
student responsibility and awareness it seems
apalling that such high positions so vital to a student
body's best interests are once removed from their
direct control.
Thus on Monday March 10 there will be a
referendum on all the dinner lines asking people to
display their support for the direct election of the
president and vice president of central council in the
hope that central council will listen to the wishes of
its voting public and rectify a situation which has
for too long been ignored.
Respectfully submitted,

Forum Desired
To the Editors:
The letter which I wrote to your paper was written
prior to my decision to accept an invitation of the
International Student Group to participate in the
discussion on Zionism. While this decision did not
turn into a "superfluous shouting" match and was
reasonable and quiet, it al s o was not a true dialogue.
Even had Am Yisrael participated, it did not provide
a framework for true understanding. We must all
work together to find better frameworks for using
our contact on campus for that end. If any persons
interested in finding a suitable forum for
understanding issues and feelings like the
ARAB—Israeli confrontaiton, they are free to
contact me on campus.

To the Editors:
Concerning Mr. Rosenberg's Off Center column of
February 14, I should like to point out some
misconception on the author's part. His discussion is
largely an emotional appeal that seems to be outside
of the realm of reason.
His major address is to the el-fatah as
representative of Hitler's troops. However, they act
as sabateurs and foreign agents in Israel's occupied
lands and Israel proper. This appears to parallel more
closely Hitler's opponents. The use of Hitler's name
is clearly intended to imply a detrimental outlook on
Jews when in fact, their orientation is towards
Israelis and their agents as can be documented by the
literature described in the February 11 issue in the
"Hebrew Students Alliance" advertisement. This
"Anti-Zionist" propoganda" addresses itself to
Zionists who aid or participate in Israeli expansion,
not to the Jew as a people.
As to the lack of popular support for the el-fatah
and their militant behavior, these statements are also
inflammatory and unsupported. The el-fatah lacks
governmental support due to the threat of an aroused
public. The people support the el-fatah as the only
effective force against the Israeli. Their militant
behavior is regretable, but equally as understandable
as the activities of the Irgun and Stern gangs (Mary
Ellen Brown, Communications, February 14). Mr.
Rosenburg has again used inflammatory inferences
without reasoning out the fallacies entailed in his
statements.
To the Editors:
Then Mr. Rosenberg concludes with Israeli

Faculty, professionals
bargain with Gould
Story and photo by Potskowski
Friday morning Samuel H.
Gould, Chancellor of the State
University of New York,
appeared at a hearing which
investigated the issues involved in
negotiations under the Taylor law
for faculty and professional
workers at the various State
University campuses.
For three and one half hours
Chancellor Gould answered
questions from groups which wish
to represent the campus as a
bargaining agent. In the
courtroom-like procedures, the
chairman of the hearing was kept
busy deciding the validity of
objections and counter-objections.
In many instances the hearing
turned into a debate on semantics.
Seated in the Assembly Hall
were representatives from the
various organizations which wish
to represent the
