patting the liberalized Open Visitation and Alcohol policiei
policiei,
University Council hat given the student greater responsibility and
control over hit life hen.
We are most emphatically in favor of this action which gives
individual dorms the largest possible latitude in developing their own
visitation policies.
We urge all residents to vote for 24-hour open houses so that each
section of the dorm can decide, within this broad basis, their own
policies in accordance with a 2/3 majority vote of that section.
The alcohol revision includes two considerations not made explicit
in the proposal. One is the condition that students under 18 do not
drink. (The State law has not yet met reality.) We realize this is
virtually impossible, however, if the condition is not met the
University will lose its liquor license which would jeopardize all of us.
The second condition is that beer bottles and assorted other liquor
containers are not left in and around the lounge areas.
For these new liberal opportunities we express our appreciation for
the perserverence of LAAC's committees on Residence Reform and
Alcohol Revision.
March Monday
We are not sure the'march on the Capitol this Monday, March 24,
will accomplish its multifarious purposes.
One purpose is to try, by demonstrating massive concern, to rescind
the ominous education budget cuts. We know that concern has been
expressed from across the state to powerful Assemblymen and
Senators on this subject.
Wednesday, the presidents of the student bodies of various State
Universities spoke to Governor Rockefeller and members of the
Senate Finance Committee and the Assembly Ways and Means
Committee.
These presidents had originally felt the need for a demonstration.
However, after their conferences at the Capitol they felt they had
accomplished all that a demonstration could,which is to explain the
tragic situation we will be in if the cuts are not restored. Can a
demonstration outside the Capitol do any more than this? Perhaps.
There are two views the legislators may take regarding another
demonstration. Some may have a completely negative reaction and
say either "enough is enough" or the typical "It's those lousy college
kids again." These are the reactions that we would not wish to evoke,
particularly at this shaky moment.
On the other hand, if we handle ourselves in a decorous manner,
some legislators might react favorably, realizing our true concern for
the future of education in this state.
This campus is being hit so hard that the ratio of faculty to
students in the Anthropology Department is projected at 1:163; we
will not be able to afford to bring in a chairman for the Physics
department; state financial aid for incoming freshmen may be
reduced, or possibly eliminated.
We feel, at this point, that letters written by constituents to their
Assemblymen and Senators would do a better job of obviating these
points than a demonstration.
We strongly urge all students to write letters to their legislative
representatives. There are fact sheets on the cuts in theCampus Center
lobby and the lis of legislators by geographical location may be found
at the fountain directly in front of the Campus Center.
Letters have always had a greater effect on legislators than a
demonstration. The former can be a written denunciation while the
latter may be construed as a transitory parade.
Letters are also written directly by constituents who arc or will be
voters and may effect their Assemblyman's or Senator's position in
government. Legislators know this and will listen to what they say
more carefully than a group of demonstrators.
Write today or sit back and watch this University go through its
most agonizing year.
Demonstrate Monday to learn where this University, in particular,
is at if the budget cuts are allowed to go through; Demonstrate
concern for your education.

Editorial Comment Criticized
To the Editors:
The ASP has printed some sub-moronic editorials
lately, but the one entitled "Go Now!" in the March
18 issue perhaps sets a new standard. There is the
now familiar pattern of illiteracy, which lends
substance to charges that we are failing to educate
you people. Worse, I believe, is the reappearance of
old cliches: the extravagant, eye-caching, slick
phrases that help cover up the lack of content. One
gets the feeling that the editorial staff feel they
MUST say something, even if they have nothing to
say. It is always safe to grind out the same old
rhetoric, lambasting the faculty, the administration,
the student body, Edward Durrell Stone, the entire
University or any convenient patsy, because it Is the
in thing to do. Sage heads can always be found to
nod solemnly as they wisely concur: "ain't it eh
truth!" It matters little what the particular charge
may bo.
Even when the ASP is on the right side of an issue
(as I believe it often is) it is usually for the wrong
reasons, so much so that ASP editorial support
might well be the kiss of death. What I ask is merely
this: does the litany of wholesale condemnation
that is routinely chanted on your pages represent
your serious, carefully weighed judgement, or is it
simply tossed off' the top of your collective head?
The editorials themselves provide the answer. Here
are a few pearls of your wisdom:
"Faculty will, go on getting higher salaries for
specialized research projects." The grants to which
you refer do not come out of SUNYA's budget;
many faculty awards do not come out of state funds
at all, and in any event the bulk of the money I* for
research expenses, not for the researcher's personal
support. A* for the balance of research and
teaching-it you had any knowledge of the world
beyond our campus you would know that
undergraduate teaching hold* * place of high honor
at this school. Many of us believe that this balance
can be maintained without sacrificing either
teaching or research, and we intend to maintain it.
You could help with constructive criticism, but
when I was at the University of Cincinnati one of
the "specialized research projects" brought to
completion there was a successful polio vaccine. But
this is a waste of good money that ought to be spent
on undergraduates-right?
"Faculty Senate will go on beating the heart out
of innovative programs for this University." I do not
know what this strange matephor means, but the
gist is clearly that the Faculty Senate has habitually
stood for reaction and against innovation and
improvement. This statement is so preposterous that
I can only stand in mute awe before its colossal
asininlty. If you read your own paper you would
know better than that!
"The majority of students will continue to
vegetate allowing administration to innovate and
make all decisions concerning our education." Ho
hum: another sweeping condmenation of students
past, present and future, all In one dazzling,
uninformed cliche. Well, at least you admit that
somebody around here innovutes-no doubt a slip
that can be remedied by another editorial.
There is a lot of room for improvement here, of
course; most of us welcome consturctive criticism (I
solicit it and get it from my own students). Brainless
and irresponsible condemnation of everything does
not help, but it sure is a lot easier than thinking,
isn't it?
You problably won' it believe it but this criticism
is meant to be constructive.

The University community was
informed this week that Dr. Carol
Waterman and Mrs. Connie
Rhoads of the psychology
department will not have their
contracts renewed, and will be
forced to leave their positions
when their present contracts
expire in June 1970. The
psychology department has failed
to offer any grounds for this
action. As a result, a large number
of students have organized to
protest and seek a reversal of
these decisions. Students have
criticized the dissmisals as unjust
and d e t r i m e n t a l t o the
department and to the students. A
separate
petition for each
instructor is being circulated
throughout the University, calling
for their reinstatement. These are
being circulated on the dinner
lines and in the Campus Center.
Dr. Waterman's Introduction to
Psychology course has been
reviewed in the Spring '69
Student Evaluation of Courses
and Teachers (SECT) in which 44
out of the 46 students responding
strongly recommended her as an
instructor, and every student in
the class (48) evaluated her
preparations for class as excellent
or good. Her publishing record
includes three different studies on
cognitive dissonance. One was
published in '67, another was
published in '68, and a third was
presented at the '67 Eastern
Psychological Conference. Last
week her paper on how the
i d e n t i t y crisis relates to
dissatisfaction in college students
was accepted to be read at the '69
American
Psychological
Association Convention.
In Mrs. Rhoads' learning
course, 26 out of 26 students
rated her as excellent or good on
preparation for class. Seventy per
cent of those responding, strongly

Of these students, 1379 voted
"yes" (for a TOTAL S-U system),
552 voted "no." In other words,
71.4% favored pass-fall In all
courses for fall 1969.
The Commission for Academic
A f f a i r s feels that
this
representative sampling of nearly
2,000 students is large enough,
and that the figure 71.4% u high
enough, to confirm our belief that
the total S-U grading system is the
one desired by the majority of the
student body st SUNYA.
We believe our position is
further supported by the first
open hesring on the subject
(March 18), at which the pros and
•*•
cons of the various grading
systems were extensively
explained and discussed and at
which an even greater percentage
of those present (76.9%) voted In
favor of the complete pass-fail
system.
For these reasons, the
Commission for Academic Affairs
shall continue to urge the
adoption and implementation of
total undergraduate satisfactory
unsatisfactory grading for
September 1969.
The above policy statement
expresses the Commission for
Academic Affairs' interpretation
of the results of the pass-fail
opinion poll. As chairman of that
c o m m i s s i o n , I support the
interpretation and agree with it.
However, I have been asked
here to express my own
interpretations and conclusions. I
shall also use this opportunity to
give my personal opinions of what
immediate next steps should be
taken.
I was very pleased with the
results. At the Commission's open
hearing on pass-fail, Dr. Schulz
expressed the feeling that it was
too bad everyone at SUNYA had
not the opportunity to attend and
listen to the arguments before
voting.
However, though the vote in
the opinion poll was not quite as
high as that taken at the end of
the hearing, I think it was strong
en ough
to
make
two
assumptions: 1. The majority of
students on this campus favor
total S-U grading; and 2. An even
greater majority are very much
opposed to the present system.
It was noted by all who took
these polls that more of the "no"
votes were still for some S-U
system (though not this particular
type of total one) than were for
the present system of A-E grading.

'Points of
REBELLION'
by Rosemary Herbert
William O. Douglas will speak
at the University Saturday in
conjunction with the Campus
Center dedication ceremony. A
member of the liberal block of the
Supreme Court, Juistice Douglas
has been described as "a
consistent fighter for civil
liberties." His pertinent topic,
"Points of Rebellion," will deal
with the university student and
revolution.
Justice Douglas has been a
member of the Supreme Court
since his appointment by
President Roosevelt in 1939. He
was previously the chairman of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
He has also written several
books including "A Living Bill of
Rights," "The Right of the
People," "Anatomy of Liberty,"
"America Challenged," and most
recently, "Toward a Global
Federalism."

Pass-fail poll interpreted
Cont'd, from Page 1.
I draw a third assumption from
the results of the open bearing:
with
more
thought
and
information, more open hearings,
more discussions (perhaps within
class—some faculty have already
done this), the number of people
opposed to total S-U would
substantially decrease.
There do appear to be various
forms of total S-U that might be
acceptable and further discussion
could conceivably result in
formulating even some partial
system that would not totally
negate advantages of S-U grading.
These assume ..ons if valid (and
I believe they are) should be
weighed very seriously by the
faculty at SUNYA. And I would
hope to see more faculty appear
at future open hearings. Students
and faculty, many of them, have
objections to total S-U which
must be explained to their
satisfaction.
The results .of the first open
hearing indicate these objections
can be satisfactorily explained.
Furthermore, the first open
hearing indicated that many
persons, who fully and clearly see
the evils and disadvantages of the
present system or a partial system
that retains these factors, have not
been adequately presented with
the best advantages of total S-U
grading.
The most important next step,
then, is to encourage greater
discussion of the subject and
p r o v i d e m o r e s o u r c e s of
information, so that the majority
of faculty and a greater majority
of students not only will accept
but will desire total S-U.
But there is another important
consideration. The reports of the
Task
F o r c e s and
various
committees
concerning
i n n o v a t i o n s and changes in
academic policies and procedures
are now beginning to come forth.
It will be easy for the sum of
these to bury the individual parts,
however promising, under the
accumulated weight. But with
pass-fail we are dealing with
something already desired by
most students, something whose
good
points
have
been
demonstrated already elsewhere.
We are presented with a lack,
a failing, the present grading
system and we should replace it as
soon as possible. I hope it will be
kept in mind that, whatever the
new c a l e n d a r , r e g u l a t i o n s ,
treatment of hours, etc. that may
be brought onto this campus,
none of this directly conflicts
with total S-U grading any more
than present conditions do. In
fact, w i t h certain proposed
changes (such as the elimination
of assigning hours to courses),
total S-U might well be expected
to produce even more beneficial
results.
Further discussion may indicate
that in part some other change
from A-E grading will be better,
but the discussions I have heard
(as well as my own arguments!)
have convinced me that, given the
whole picture, total S-U of some
form will be the best all-around
system and the one with the
fewest drawbacks.
In conclusion, I see a proven
desire, a generally agreed need,
a n d a r e l a t i v e Lack of
administrative
difficulties
concerning total S-U. I hope
everyone who agrees with my
interpretation will attempt to join
and
overcome
needless
over-deliberation and redtape and
will oppose well-meant but
ineffectual compromises. I equally
hope that those who do not agree
with me will consider the matter
further, openly discuss their
honest objections, and then act
for what the feel is the best
interests of SUNYA and the cause
of learning.
Chisholm speaks
by Anita Thayer
Mrs. Shirley Chisholm, the only
Negro Congresswoman, and a
native of Brooklyn, was the
speaker Wednesday afternoon in
the Campus Center at an open
convocation in honor of EOP
students who have made high
academic
achievements.
Previously, as a member of the
State Assembly she sponsored the
SEEK program. Her activity in
politics has spanned twenty years.
Mrs.
C h i s h o l m said "We
Negroes must be realistic... . We
are Americans in an American
s o c i e t y . . . We have measured
America not by her achievement
but by her potential....But there is
a limit to how much more we will
take."
She continued by saying that
she knew that some will hate
while others still have patience.
Everyone must "do their own
thing." It is not only a black
student rebellion but a white
student rebellion too."
Mr. Chisholm stated her faith in
the younger generation and the
belief that they have something to
say. She believes that education
will play an important part in the
struggle for the equality of
opportunity that belongs to every
American. "The world is looking
for builders and producers...Every
man must make a contribution to
Legislators pass budget
By Tom Carey
After eight hours of bitter
a r g u m e n t , almost unbearable
frustration and mass confusion,
the New York Legislature finally
increased the sales tax and passed
part of Governor Rockefeller's
$6.4 billion budget.
In one session lasting until the
early m o r n i n g h o u r s , the
Assembly attempted to reach an
agreement on the fiscal policies
for the coming year.
From the Democrats' view, this
session was plagued with the
heavy gavel of the Assembly
Speaker overriding parliamentary
rules, amendments offered and
ignored, frustration when they
were told to vote on a complex
20-page bill just placed on their
desks, and the refusal of clerks to
give members copies of the bills
under discussion.
As a result of the widespread
o p p o s i t i o n to
Rockefeller's
across-the-board
cutback,
particularly to school aid, Lhe
legislature decided to seek
" s e l e c t i v e " cuts in specific
programs.
Among the many changes in
the proposed budget, perhaps, the
greatest is the cut in the welfare
budget.
Much of the protest against the
across-the-board cut was directed
at the reduction such a plan
would have on aid to education.
The Legislators reacted to this
pressure and restored $74 million
of the $104 million cut in
education originally proposed by
the Governor.
To accomplish this and still
have a balanced budget, the
Legislators increased Rockefeller's

ALBANY LACROSSE SEASON BEGINS
Varsity Seasons Start For
Track & Field, Golf, Tennis
Diamond Men
Beat Stony Brook
By Dave Fink
The 1969 edition of the Albany
State varsity baseball team opens
its campaign clouded with
uncertainty. Coach Burlingame
expresses his feelings about the
squad by saying "I'm looking on
this as a rebuilding year."
This fact cannot be disputed.
Gone from last year's 7-10
contingent are three starters, the
second baseman, the shortstop,
and the centerfielder and three
pitchers. If the old baseball axiom
about
b e i n g strong and
experienced up the middle is true,
then this year's team must look
for help there.
Coach Burlingame looks to

4-2 record last year with a fine
earned run average of l.SS. Also
figuring in the Coach's plans is
righthander Dave Wheeler.
Junior Jim Sandy has the
catching position nailed down
while Jim Rourke, last season's
top hitter is back in the outfield.
Other returning offensive threats
include first baseman Jack Sinnott
and outfielder-pitcher Rich Spiers.
Last year's team had trouble
scoring. This year they must score
more to compensate for the lack
of pitching depth. The team's first
game, a 12-8 victory over Stony
Brook characterized this.

at 2 p.m. the first vanity track
and field meet in State University
at Albany history will be held on
the campus track behind the
physical education building. The
Great Danes will host Rochester
Institute of Technology and
Boston State College in a double
dual meet.
After two years as a club sport,
track will field varsity and
freshman teams this spring, with
freshmen permitted to participate
in varsity meets. Head coach Bob
Munsey and assistant Brian Kelly
expect
t h e team to be
representative, but it probably
won't equal last year's 6-2 club
record, since the schedule is
considerably more difficult. The
team figures to get stronger as the
year progresses, but the toughest
part of the schedule is early in the
season.
The biggest problem will be
lack of depth, a factor that will
result in too few second and third
places. The team's strength is in
the races a half-mile or longer, a
reflection on Albany's strong
cross-country program. Five of
the seven letter winners on last
fall's 8-2 harriers are on the
varsity track roster: senior Don
Beevers of Warnerville, who will
compete in middle distance races

Lacrosse sticks are made of hickory or ash, with the not at the end usually crosstex nylon, leather or
gut. Sticks range from 40 to 72 inches and the head, or net end, varies by position.
An attackman must use no less than a 7-inch head.lfit were smaller, it would be tough for an opponent to
get the ball loose. A middle uses an 8-inch head, a defenseman a 9-inch head. The goalie is equipped with a 12-inch
head, but the rules state only one lacrosse stick of that size can be on the field. The larger head makesit easier for
the goalie to smother the ball. An illegal stick commands an automatic three minute expulsion penalty.
The ball is made of hard rubber—the same used in a handball, but bigger.
Basically, the object of the game is to score points on offense and prevent points on defense. After the faceoff, which starts the
game at the middle of the field, the team that takes possession moves into its offensive zone.
A team must have four players in its defensive zone and three in its offensive zone at all times. The middies move back and forth in
and out of both zones. After each score, another faceoff starts the action.
The game is divided into four quarters, each 15 minutes long. In the final minute of play in each period, the clock operator runs onto the
field and stands next to one of the two officials. This is known as "clock on the field." All tie games are ended in sudden death overtime play
after two four-minute overtime periods.
There are two kinds of penalties, technical and personal. If the team has the ball, a technical results in loss of ball. If the other team has possession,
the guilty party gets 30 seconds in the penalty box. There are a number of technical fouls, including touching the ball with a hand, offside, offensive man in
the crease (goalie's protective circle), pushing, too many men on the field, illegal equipment, etc.
A personal foul calls for a one to three-minute spot in the penalty box, no matter which team has control of the ball. Some personals are blocking from
the rear, blocking below the knees, uncontrolled swing of lacrosse stick (stash), cross-checking with stick and unsportsmanlike enduct, the latter covering a
number of infractions.
There you have an idea of the players, playing area, equipment, fundamentals, and penalties.
Stick this story in your hat.
The next time you go to a lacrosse game, you, too, can yell "slash," like those who know lacrosse best! As in any sport, a good spectator knows the rule*.

If director, Robert Aldrich's
intent in THE KILLING OF
SISTER GEORGE was to portray
an unusually moving story so
realistically that his audience
could understand his characters
and their feelings, he is a definite
success. Despite the controversial
subject matter-the struggle and
tormentwhich eventually led to
t h e b r e a k u p of a lesbian
"marriage," I feel the director's
purpose
goes
beyond the
surface fact that his characters are
social deviants. His intent is not so
much to shock his audience, but
more
to
motivate
an
understanding of such a situation.
CPC to present
underground film
on Sunday night
The world of experimental
films is dominated by young
filmmakers, and the best of the
youngest can be found in "The
Teenage Underground," a
90-minute film program to be
presented Sunday, April 13th at 8
pm in t h e Campus Center
Assembly Hall. Admission is $.50
with tax and $1.50 without tax.
Community
Programming
Commission is sponsoring the
program as one of an eight part
" A r t and Document" seri es
featuring
the work
of
experimental filmmakers of every
type from around the world. This
p r o g r a m includes startling
examples of creativity in youths
ranging from 9 to 19 years of age.
The degree of technical excellence
and sophistication varies, but all
have in common a novelty of
approach that is a product of their
youth.
Among the 12 films included in
the program is a series call "Bag
5," a collection of five films made
by children ages 9 to 13. Under
t h e i n s t r u c t i o n of Yvonne
Anderson and Mary Austin, the
children created the art work,
story, animation, camera work,
editing and sound.
Another film in the program,
"On Nothing Days," produced by
Clarke Mackey, has received
honors in the student films
competition at Expo '67.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the
President of the United States of
America." Enter cool, confident,
yet humble Richard M. Nixon.
"Gentlemen and ladies of the
press; Americans. I have an
announcement to make: I shall
make an announcement next
week. Any questions?"
Mr. President, is progress being
made in Paris? "Well, let me say
this about that. Slight but
significant progress is being made
in the talks. Private discussions
have become promising, but I
should like to stress that the
substantial progress being made
here is not too substantial. What
the substantial non-substantials
are, I rather not indicate at this
time."
Mr. President, when will your
"new approach" to ending the
war become evident? "Well, let
me make one thing about that
very clear. During my campaign I
explained that I had a whole new
approach to the war question. I
said at that time that I would not
disclose the details of that
approach because it might upset
the talks already underway. Now
that I am President I still hold to
t h a t approach about
my
approach."
Mr. President, is it true that
private discussions have been held
b e t w e e n t h e S o v i e t s and
ourselves? "Yes, they certainly are
and many topics are being
discussed. What those topics are, I
cannot now disclose."
Mr. President, can you disclose
any of the concrete plans and
problems you and Pres. DeGaulle
may have discussed? "I would be
very happy to. I told the General
that he was a great man. We then
discussed various aspects of the
world situation and agreed that
neither of us knew how to solve
t h e m , b u t that we would
nevertheless try. We look forward
to working together in the future,
though I would caution that we
may not work together in the
future,"
Mr. President, are you going to
go ahead with the ABM system?
"Well, let me say this about that.
We are going ahead with a
modified system. In this way, we
can p l a c a t e t h e Pentagon,
Congress, and the people. At the
same time we expect a few
complaints
since
our
modifications are so modified. In
this way we are assured of a
moderate discussion so that our
modified modifications can be
further modified.
"The purpose of the system, I
might add, is to increase our arms
without increasing the arms race,
because our arms are not really
arms. They do not go boom, only
bang."
Mr. President, what are you
going to announce next week? "I
am to announce that I shall have
some future announcements, but
what they are I rather not disclose
at this time."
Mr. President, do you feel that
your campaign promises are being
fulfilled? "Yes I do, for they are
still being promised. I have
reneged on none of them,"
Mr. President, how do you feel
after two months in office? "I
have not decided yet."
Mr. President, what do you
plan to do about the war on
poverty? "Well, let me say this
about that..."
You may have noticed as of
late various activities, concerts,
c o m m i t t e e s sponsored by
something called the International
Werewolf Conspiracy. What is the
Werewolf Conspiracy? Why are
they here? What do they want?
All these questions have been
asked of us, and in this short
article I will attempt to answer
them. But first, a brief history of
the IWWC.
The first organized appearance
of the Werewolf Conspiracy came
in the 1920's (previous to this a
large number of small bands
bearing the word werewolf in
their names had appeared, but
they all eventually formed into
the one large group, when the
Prohibition laws at the time were
causing a large amount of
bootlegging and gangsterism. The
Werewolves provided alcoholic
beverages to the general public
w i t h o u t charging exorbitant
prices.
Needless to say, this brought on
a rather harsh reaction from the
gangs who were losing money by
this, and the original found of the
Werewolves, Edward Eldred

of his chief aides in an ambush on
G r o u n d Hog D a y , 1 9 2 7 .
Fortunately, the remaining
members of the group were able
to "continue the organization
without their leaders.
During World War U, the
Werewolves went to Germany
where they acted in the capacity
of a terroritst organization,
working in cooperation with the
underground. The Werewolf is, as
you know, a prominent figure in
German folklore, and the name
alone instilled a good deal of fear
in the hearts of the Nazi High
Command.
After the fall of Nazi Germany,
the Werewolves went back to the
USA, but the name of the group
was now t h e International
Werewolf Conspiracy, as we now
had a large membership in
Europe.
(
The sixties approached, the
Werewolf Conspiracy found its
m e m b e r s h i p being increased,
largely through the presence of
dissatisfied SDSers and other early
revolutionaries who found the
type of organization they needed
in the Werewolf Conspiracy.
As time w e n t o n , t h e
Werewolves grew bigger and
bigger, and their goals became
more realistically defined, and
what is more important, we were
recognized by the FBI and the
H U A C as a
subversive
organization.
A c t i o n s t a k e n by the
Conspiracy were confined to the
usual radical revolutionary things
that are always happening (we
were a driving force behind the
Columbia a c t i o n s ) until a
conference of all members was
held in Madison Square Garden on
December 28th, 1968. It was
decided on. that day that the
Werewolves would start chapters
on every college campus in the
USA, and as many others as we
need in the rest of the world, in
final p r e p a r a t i o n for the
revolution.
And so the Werewolves have
come to Albany. In only a few
short weeks, we have brought in
three hundred and twenty-seven
new members (as opposed to the
newsletter "Walter" in case you
didn't buy it the first time), set up
a bail fund, organized concerts,
etc.
And that is only the beginning!
If things go according to the
schedule we have set up (and I see
no reason for them not to), our
membership by next week will
include 6000 of the University's
10,000 member student boyd,
and a few hundred non-university
p e o p l e
f r o m
the
Albany-Schenectady-Troy region.
Activities will expand (all
coordinated with the national
program, of course), and on April
27th, at 11:04 am, we will begin
the revolution.
Don't say we didn't warn you.

Demonstrate
Demonstration! have been felt by many to be "unpopular" and
"inefficient" means of affecting legislative decisions; it is felt they
would "turn o f f many people and hinder individual efforts toward
effecting the desired change.
Marches and demonstrations, as was proven by CUNY, may be
peaceful and effective. CtiNY received committment*; from
Rockefeller and legislators immediately following their massive march.
It was not only letters and telegrams that convinced the legislature
that their proposals were opposed by their voters; it was also the
physical committment inthe form of demonstrators standing solidly in
opposition to the proposals.
Demonstrations are constitutionally guaranteed; it is a right that
everyone has, that no one can take away. If our legislators do not
know this, if the people do not know and utilize this means for
change, they do not know or accept a major aspect of America
democracy If anger is aroused purely by a peaceful march, it is the
anger of ignorance.
;
It is true that some of our policy makers view demonstrations
negatively; they do not understand that demonstrators are, for the
most part, committed to achieving action. So committed that they
feel they have not done enough for their goals until they tap all means
of achieving those goals.
The beneficiaries of a demonstration are not only the
demonstrators fulfilling their committment, but the public. If the
media were not so biased and sensationalist in its coverage, and
sometimes they are not, the public may be made aware of a problem.
It is this awareness that is the outcome of demonstrations. Viewed in
this light, they perform a definite and necessary educational function.
The promotion of interest and concern for the issues of the day in
both the demonstrators and in the public is meritorious and must be
continued.
Letters and telegrams are excellent means for effecting change.
Demonstrations perform the function of education these means; in
addition, they are a very acceptable means of obviating the necessity
for change.
The means o f demonstration may very well achieve
democratization.
JRP
Sitting on Governor Rockefeller's desk at this moment are two
pieces of legislation which remain very pertinjnt to college students.
They are the "Flynn Anti-Riot Bill," which proposes to take away
state scholarships from any student convicted of a misdemeanor (i.e.
being arrested in a demonstration); and the Duryea amendment to the
penal code, which could send a student to jail for up to seven years if
he is arrested twice (in an indcterminatcd period of time) for
protesting on the grounds of a college campus.
"THE NEATNESS PROBLEM'
Through ages past the search
want on youth potions to secure,
But now it's hoped with
alcohol all students will mature.
The kids grow beards, and
humorless, bid fair to run the
show
While adults with the discipline
run scared-and very slow.
If having alcohol in rooms is
not enough to age them
Their bedroom visits day and
night will certainly engage them
In fascinating aspects,years?, of
growth and maturation.
With visitors and alcohol there's
super saturation,
I wonder where they 11 find the
time or why they would desire
To study in a book to get their
education higher?
Distractions alight are booze
and bods compared to some,
however.
D r u g s obfuscate reality
tonight-perhaps forever.
M.D.'s protesting drug abus e,
of "bias" are accusedOf "scientific bias"-yet! By
this they are amused.
The roles are twisted: child
plays adult, adult suckles student
breast.
The danger is adult at child

One lesson that should be salvaged from the 1969 Education
budget crisis is vitally concerned with demonstrations and their role in
affecting policy.
Demonstrations and marches are unpopular, inefficient and
dangerous ways of attempting to affect legislation and policy.
Nothing bears this contention out more clearly than the education
budget crisis itself. It was not because 15,000 idealistic college
students from the City University (along with 1500-2000 idealist
Albany State students) journeyed to a mass rally in front of the
capitol that the budget was saved. It was, rather, because the
legislators in Albany were deluged with telegrams andlettsrs and other
indications thatconvin:ed them that their constituents were against
cutting Education.
In fact, the rally in front of the Capitol did little but anger the
citizens of Albany over the damage to the Capitol lawn.
While we fully believe that the education of 350,000 students is
more important than having helathy tulips on the Capitol lawn, when
we gauge the results of a march such as this one, we get the feeling
that those 15,000 students were wasting their time.
For, in essence, it is the public with which we must be concerned.
The media distorts the size of the radical and unruly elements while
downplaying the more "conservative" or "establishment"
participants, thereby greatly angering the public.
Many people today are "turned-off' by demonstrators. This alone
means little to us; it means even less to the idealistic "marcher."
But, if one considers the fact that, so many times, the people
"turned off" are the very constituents that a legislator will consult,
and whoe opinion he respects, then the repercussions of a poor
reception by the public becomes more clear.
Yet, another danger that demonstrations bring about is a
self-righteous feeling of accomplishment. For too often, marchers
believe they have "done their share" by marching and stop there.
They accomplish little, yet they feel as if they are closer to achieving
their ends. There is much that an ordinary citizen can do to bring
about real change, change far more substantial than marching can ever
bring about.
We believe, in many cases, in the causes and the people who are
marching and demonstrating today across the nation. We applaud the
ends persuied, from the call for cessation of hostilities in Vietnam to
the call for Freedom and Equality in the U.S. now.
We do feel, however, that the means utilized must aid in attaining
those ends; if they do not, we are deluding ourselves, and we must
realize the error of our ways and replace those poor means with ones
that do move towards realization.
We cannot deny that some protest has been successful in bringing
about change. We feel, however, that far too often, the energies
exerted, could have been channeled into more productive methods.
Nathan Wright and Shirley Chisholm arc where Black Power is
really at. They understand what it is the Black man needs and, more
important, what the white man must learn.
We must learn to be beautiful, to be fulfilled by not only being
(doing our individual thing) but becoming (doing things to make
ourselves grow and develop). This was their message, emphasized by
using the term "beautiful" to refer to everyone, black and white.
They clearly articulated the meaning of the often misinterpreted
term Black Power. Whites now have the power to fulfill themselves by
their positon or status in society. They do not have to fight the color
war and so may proceed to better themselves knowing they arc
accepted as human beings. Black Power affirms the black man as
having the same power and right as the white in terms of potential
fulfillment as u human being. It reaffirms the black man as an
individual, different in some respects from the white man but human
in all respects; it means that whites must understand and respect these
differences or be doomed to the narrow-minded ignorance which is
still so apparent.

Both of these bills are unduly harsh and both violate the standard

these bills before. We are saddened by the legislative passage, and we
now look to Governor Rockefeller to veto both these measures.
We urge all students to communicate with the Governor's office by
mail or telegram, and ask him to veto these two bills, the Flynn Bill
and the Duryea Penal Code Amendment and Bill.

Black Power has already contributed a great deal to American
society by vividly illuminating the white curse of hypocrisy mid lack
of understanding. It has made clear the inadquacics of the present
means by which change may be effected. We hope they will as
effectively make known plans for changes in the current system.
Blacks, Wright made clear, do have the marginal perspective, which
gives them the unique ability to understand and contribute to this
society as no one else can, We look forward optimistically with this in
mind.
We hope that the BSA and HOP students will continue to
contribule to our understanding of Black people and enliven this
predominantly white academic community though educational meam
that we will learn what must be done.

Is a faculty member
qualified to pass judgment on the
teaching ability of a fellow
professor?
Is teaching ability the major
criteria upon which a professor is
judged?
What power does student
opinion have on this campus,
particularly within a department?
These are the controversial
questions that have been raised as
a result of the non- renewed
contracts of Dr. Waterman and
Mrs, Rhoads.
Both faculty were on three-year
contracts when they came up for
renewal. Neither contract was
renewed beyond the three-year

At the present time there is a
proposal before the Committee on
Academic Standing, a standing
committee of the Faculty SSnate,
concerning a psw-^ii policy for
the univer^y T n „ p r o p o s a | r e a ds
"». 'oiiows:
BE IT RESOLVED, for the
purpose of undergraduate grading,
that effective September 1969,
the following changes be adopted.
A faculty member shall have
the option of announcing prior to
registration that a given course
which he is teaching will use one
of four alternative methods of
evaluation:
A) Letter grading
B) Written description of
student performance
C) Satisfactory-Unsatisfactory
grading (the grade of "S" to earn
credit; the grade "U" no credit)
D) Any combination of the
three.
When a professor takes no
action to announce what methods
of evaluation will be used in a
course, the student may elect
letter grading or S/U.
Students on their side may
receive credit for courses taken on
the S/U system up to 120 credit
hours taken at SUNYA toward';
the Baccalaureate Dejj'ee. The
option of a Gotten evaluation,

Contract controversy
CC dedication
The Campus Center was
dedicated Saturday. The program
included an address by Justice
William O. Douglas at 2 p.m. in
the Ballroom.
Justice Douglas spoke on
"Points of Rebellion." He began
by stating that in 1931 the First
Amendment was upheld; it was
unconstitutional to suppress
demonstrations.
Since Truman, he noted, the
factor of militarism and concern
with foreign policy has become
great. Now, there is a change in
the public attitude on militarism.
Today's youth are questioning
whether it is our goal to destroy
the Soviets. They ask if something
can be done to achieve world
cooperation.
He spoke briefly of the Negro
situation-discrimination
in
e m p l o y m e n t , housing, and
education.

a m o u n t s t o , would enable
sturjoiits to explore fields
otherwise restricted by fear of low
grades, and, at the same time,
allow him to accumulate a grade
point averaged for the purpose of
incentive, future employment,
and graduate schools.
In addition, the proposal is a
broad step in the direction of
academic freedom since it gives
the student the opportunity to
decide if his entire course of study
will be completely S/U or entirely
A though E or an individually
weighted combination of these
alternatives.
One of the many advantages for
the professor is that he has more
freedom in the planning of a
course, because he has the option
of announcing which alternative
he wishes to use. If he elects to
teach his course on a S/U basis, he
has expanded his opportunities to
bring in innovations in both
material and method. In the event
that a student chooses an S/U
course, he has the same
opporunities for exploration and
experimentation.
T h e r e are also certain
disadvantages which .such a system
will precipitate. Whereas this
system is designed to relax
c o m p e t i t i o n , and i u i l i a t e
innovation, it m a y , instead, relax
initiative in S/U courses. A
aiudent may devote his main
energies to those courses for
which he will receive a grade on
his transcript. Inherent, however,
in this disadvant is an advantage
of the partial pass-fail proposal.
Students may choose to be
graded in those courses in which
he intends to delve and explore,
thereby excelling in them.

(The decision concerning the
renewal of appointments is made
approximatly one year prior to
the contract's expiration date. At
this time it may be renewed for
one. two, three years or not at
all.)
Notification
Waterman and Rhoads were
notified of the decision in a letter
which stated, in part, that "the
Psychology Department Personnel
Committee, in consultation with
the remaining tenured faculty, has
reached the decision that the
interests of all concerned will be
best served by not extending your
term beyond the current
expiration date."
(The Personnel Committee is
elected by the total psychology
faculty from among the tenured
mem bers of the department. Its
members are Dr. Shirley
Brown.the department chairman,
Dr. Morris Eson.Dr. Norman
Greenfeld and Dr. Ostereich.)
No reasons for the non-renewal
were given in the letter although
both professors were invited to
discuss the matter with Dr.
Brown. After such a discussion,
Or. Waterman is still "not at all
clear" on the ground for the
action. As a result of heretofore
ambiguous answers, Mrs. Rhoads
has not seen Dr. Brown on the
matter. When questioned as to the
reasons for the non-renewal, Dr.
Another disadvante arises due
to the prerogative granted the
professor since a course or oven an
entire field of study may offer the
student no option because all the
professors have decided to use the
same grading system.
In discussing this proposal, the
Committee on Academic Standing
has concluded that the advantages
far outweigh the disadvantages.
However, the student body mu..
be heard on this subject. Meetings
ALEX HALEY, who assisted Malcolm X In writing his
autobiography, will speak on campus Thursday. Haley is scheduled
to meet with students three times during the day.
Brown said that if "further
clarification" was requested, the
concerned parties could see her.
Dr. Waterman believes that the
issue is much larger than the two
faculty members
"What are the criteria for
making these decisions?" she asks,
"What priorities of criteria are
considered? Teaching and research
are both valuable; teaching should
have a higher priority.
"If there is strong student
feeling that a professor is
competent and has published; that
must be considered."
This approaches the second
issue which is, "to what extent
student opinion is considered"
both in making the decision and
approving of it.
"Student of these professors
were consulted in no systematic
way (there is no mechanism for
consulting students) by the
department before the decision
was made," said Dr. Eson.
Student Involvement
Both Waterman and Rhoads are
strongly in favor of increased
participation in departmental
decisions in the field. Mrs. Rhoads
is a member of a faculty
committee whose purpose it is to
promote and channel such interest
for the benefit of all concerned.
She feels that the controversy
raised over the non-renewal has
increased communication, a factor
which she believes will extend
beyond the immediate case.It is
the intention of students in the
department, many of whom have
been active in the petition
campaign, to form a psychology
alliance.
As of now, there is no direct
student participation on any of
