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.

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'

But now it's hoped with
alcohol all students will mature.
The kids grow beards, and
humorless, bid fair to run the

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

In fascinating aspects,years?, of

With visitors and alcohol there's
super saturation,
I wonder where they 11 find the

To study in a book to get their

Distractions alight are booze

however.

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
of equal justice under the law. We have made our position clear on
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,
wher» '„ j s available, will be open
to a student only with the
permission of the instructor; there
will be no limit on the number of
courses which he may take with
written evaluation rather than the
April
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.
will be held on each of the
quadrangles for this purpose. All
students are encouraged to speak,
as the committee wants to

opinion in the decision that will

(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

effectiveness is the priority factor
in determining such cases, Brown
explained that this was one major
factor. Antoher very important
factor for retention is being a
constructive department member
in terms of fulfilling the total set
of department functions.
It has been suggested that it is
the second category which was
not satisfactorily fulfilled by the
professors in question.
On the matter of student
participation in the department,
Brown said the only reasonable
course for such participation is an
advisory group (composed of
students) complementing the
established faculty committee.

so.
Mr. O'Kain, needing 3,000
"acceptable" signatures in order
to be placed on the ballot, will
probably require twice that
number inorder to allow for
signatures that are discounted.
It might be the first time in the
City of Albany that the little
poeple will be given a choice
between systemized government
and a real confrontation with
Urban problems. Mr. O'Kain saya
that his ultimate goal is "to take
power from those who control
and give it to those who
produce."
Douglas
Continued from page 1
poor, he said. Many people feel
that those on payroll are
"third-class citizens." Charges of
vagrancy are used to arrest people
on suspicion. This problem of bias
against the poor has not been
solved and exists in such areas as
.housing.
The problem of hunger is also
great. While people are hungry,
there are laws to stabilize prices
for producers by taking surpluses
off the market.
He went on to say that there is
"disemployment," due to such
technical developments as
automation, but people still resent
the poor, who they feel are being
paid to be poor.
There is a false pride in the
GNP, because of natural resource
destruction and water pollution,
which should be considered,
Douglas said.
The dedication ceremonies
included a welcome by Mr.
Mitchell Poster, Chairman of the
Campus Center Governing Board.
He introduced Mr. Truman
Cameron, who presented the
Campus Center, through which
"the life-blood of the campus
flows," to President Collins.
President Collins accepted the
building and commented on the
active student participation in all
organizations.
Mr. Neil Brown, Director of the
Campus Center and of Student
Activities, then accepted a plaque
of dedication and said that this
was a dedication of a concept-of
"service to the community."
JUSTICE DOUGLAS WAS KEY NOTE speaker and President

ranging in variety from delicate
bracelets and intricate ceramic
pieces to an 8 by 16 foot
representation of a cliff section,
willbe among the faculty art
objects exhibited at the State
University of New York's
Convocation on the Arts this
week.
The convocation exhibition, on
view in six different areas in the
Art Gallery will be one of two
shows running simultaneously
during the three-day convocation.
It will be open from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m. on Thursday and Friday,
H*»Apri| 17- and 18, the final two
days of the Convocation on the
Arts, and will continue through
May 18. Regular gallery hours will
be from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Monday through Saturday, from 7
to 9 p.m. - on Wednesdays, and
from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
The convocation exhibition
encompasses paintings, sculpture,
drawings, prints, ceramics, wall

The third annual Spring Jazz
Festival, sponsored by Special
Events Board, will take place on
April 18th and 19th. Titled
"Synthesis '69," the intent of the
festival is to present a melange of
modern and contemporary
musical styles.
Friday evening, at 8:30 in the
gymnasium the Dave Brubeck
Trio will perform with featured
soloist Jerry Mulligan on baritone
saxophone.
After disbanding his world
famed quartet three years ago,
Brubeck has since come out of
semi-retirement to tour the
country with Mulligan. Brubeck's
joining forces with Mulligan
results in the combination of two
fo the major exponents of the
"cool" or "Post-hop" school
which evolved during the mid
1950's.
In addition to being first-rale
artists in the LP field, both have
had hit singles on the "Top 40"
chart. Burbeck scored in 1961
with "Take Five" while several
years ago. Mulligan's version of
"Downtown" was a top selling
single.
Also present on the Friday
evening bill is drummer Elvin
Jones and his trio. Jones is an
avant-garde musician who, despite
the rhythmic, harmonic and
melodic complexity of his music,
still manages to speak the
sometimes subtle language of soul.
Trying
t o recall Elvin's
performance in jazz critics polls is
easier to recall than the times he
han't won.
Elvin's sidemen are of no mean
achievement, either. Joe Farrel,
tenor sax and Jimmy Garrison,
bass, are two of New York's finest
as they play music that is the
shape of things to come.
Together, these three are a
dominating force in the evolution
of the art form.
On Saturday afternoon, April
19, trumpeters Clark Terry and
Arnie Lawrence from the "tonight
show" orchestra will join noted
area reed man Nick Brifnola in a
jazz worship and jam session.
Clark Terry, who appeared at last
year's festival with his 18-piece
orchestra, will perform this year
as a featured soloist in a small
group context.The Miles Davis quintet and the
Babtunde Olatunji African Revue
will perform at the Satruday
evening concert.
Doubling with Davis is Olatunji
and his "Drums of Passion."
Olatunji's primitive percussive
sound combines elements of
primitive African and Carribean
rhythms. However, the most
striking aspect of Olatuaji's
performance is the authentic
native costuming and ritual dance

George P. Elliott, professor of
English and creative writing at
Syracuse University, will talk on
"Literature and Nihilism" at 4:15
Thursday afternoon, April 17, in
the Campus Center assembly hall,
State University of New York at
Albany. His address is the latest in
the u n i v e r s i t y ' s
English
department lecture series.
Professor Elliott is a poet,
novelist, and critic. His latest
work, a book of short stories
entitled "An Hour of Last
Things," recently was published
by Harper and Row. Among his
other works are a collection of
essays, "A Pieco of Lettuce;" a
narrative poem, "Fever and
Chills;" 10 short stories, "Among
the Dangs;" and novels "In the
World," "Parktilden Village," and
"David Knudsen."
The Indiana native was
graduated from the University of
California in 1939 and received
his master's degree from that
institution in 1941. Ho joined the
Syracuse faculty in 1063 and has
also taught at St. Mary's College,
Cornell University, Barnard
College, the State University of
Iowa, and the University of
California. Mr. Elliott has
travelled in France, England, and
Italy,..
n
u «
« - - i - - - director of the
Donald
Mochon,
Art Gallery, has announced that
34 works have been selected to
constitute a traveling exhibition
which will be displayed at State
University campuses through
December 1970. He said that the
convocation exhibit, one of the
largest ever gathered in the Capital
District, runs the whole range
from the representational to the
latest abstract expression.
Artists from SUNY's four
graduate centers, 13 arts and
science colleges, and other
specialized colleges, and from 24
t w o - y e a r c a m p u s e s , are
represented.
The cliff detail, a recreation of
a section of a bluff near Catskill,
by Manuel Bromberg, professor of
art at the College at New Paltz, is
one of the most provacative pieces
on exhibit and critics already are
classifying it as an important
work. It was one of the 34 works
chosen for the traveling exhibition
by William C. Seitz, director of
the Rose Art Museum of Brandeis
University.
Dr. Seitz observed that it is
difficult, perhaps even impossible,
to make assessments about an
artist's effectiveness in teaching
from viewing his work. "Yet I
cannot but feel that under
artist-teachers of the calibre of
those in this exhibition, art
students at the State University of
New York are in capable hands,"
he said.
A second art exhibition, lasting
three days but starting one day
earlier than the convocation
exhibit, will be sponsored by the
Joint Awards Council of State
University.
It will take place from 9 a.m. to
10 p.m. April 16-18 in the new
Performing Arts Center lounge.
The Performing. Arts Center at
State University of New York at
Albany will be dedicated
Wednesday, April 16. Included in
the day's activities will be a
luncheon, an address by Howard
Hanson, director of the Institute
of American Music of the
University of Rochester, formal
dedication ceremony, dedication
concert, and tours of the building,
erected and furnished at a cost of
$5,500,000.

around 1900, victims of the
steamboat and railroad.
This sloop, however, will sail
the Hudson, not in commerce, but
as a flating museum, manned by a
volunteer crew. She will put into
many Hudson rive ports to be
boarded by the public and to take
part in waterfront celebrations.
It is hoped that the sloop,
"CLEARWATER," will encourage
interest in freeing the Hudson of
pollution and restoring it to the
good stream it once was for
boating, fishing, and swimming.

Smith's Five Goals, Assists
Spark Lacrosse Club Win
': by Tom Nixon
. The' Albany State Lacrosse
Club opened it* season on a
winning note this past Saturday as
t h e y defeated the Mohawk
' Lacrosse Club, 11-10.
After leading at half-time, 6-5,
• the Albany squad won the game

with a goal by Steve Jakway.
'
The
most
amazaing
performance came from Larry
Smith of Albany who scored five
goals and registered four assists.
Smith, last year's goalie, moved
into an attack position this year
and proved himself more than
capable of filling the spot.
Although Albany appeared to
be the stronger team in the first
half, the Mohawk Club came back
strong in the third quarter and
almost turned the tide. With the
score at 10-10, and time running
out, Steve Jakway slipped the ball
past the Mohawk goalie for the
winning score.
Bob Cole, who took over the
goalie chores this year, recorded
twenty-four saves against the
tough Mohawk Club.
out for the season after breaking
his back is Walt Quillinan who will
be in a body cast for six months.
Despite this handicap, the
Albany squad won one of its
toughest games of the year.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It would
seem appropriate that with the
large number of supporters
presetn at the Lacrosse games
adequate seating facilities could
be provided.

started by Dave Wheeler on the
strength of his fine performance
against Stony Brook the week
before. Wheeler, ill and on
antibiotics unfortunately was not
the same and had to leave the
game in the first inning.
This Wednesday at 3:00 PM,
the team will take on its arch rival
Siena who opened its season this
past w e e k e n d splitting a
double-header with Hartwick.
Pitching for the INdians will be
right-hander Jack Lamay. State
fans will remember him for it was
he who beat us last year in the
game at Siena.
Thus far this season, State has
been led offensively by the
"Triple S" boys, Jack Sinnott
hitting .333, Jim Sandy batting
.285 and Rich S?iers hitting .313.
Also doing a good job at the plate
is sophomore Jim Lee battting a
fine .300,
Preceding Wendesday's home
game will be the traditional
throwing out of the first ball by
Mrs. Martha Egelston. This has
been the practice at State openers
for the past fifteen years. For the
past three years Mrs. Egelston's
son Tom has pitched the opener.
He has since graduated.

If moat Americana (including
politicians) were suddenly
stricken by seven sunburn, they
would probably paint their bodies
to its original skin shade and go
about at if the situation were
corrected. This would be
indicative of the American
approach
to
problem
solving-cover up the symptoms
and the disease willnolonger exist.
Professor Henry Higgins once
commented that women always
straighten up their hair while.never
'straightening up the mess that's
inside.' This is an applicable
observation of the superficiality
of American life. By listening to
the mass media it is easy to
observe our culture's value
system. A good person is someone
who can cover up both his body
and mouth odor, keep dandruff
out of his hair and his face devoid
of blemishes.
This improvement of external
features is a significant'aspect of
the society's working. We seem to
be overly involved with things
visible to others while not caring
at all for the 'mess that's inside.'
Much time is spent choosing
clothes and making ourselves
'presentable' in order to solve
personal 'social problems,' where
the obvious solution seems to be
improving our own character and;
not our appearance. At present'
there are a disgusting number of
human beings who 'wear a face
that they keep in a jar by the
door.'
Concentration on external
rather than internal features could
temporarily bring the appearance
of a solution. This solution can
only be temporary because as long
as the roots of the problem are
not healed, the symptoms will
reappear. Where symptoms are
repressed from appearing (as was
attempted in Chicago last
summer), the disease will
eventually appear in a more vilent
form.
It is all too common in this
nation that s y m p ! o m s 8 r e
diagnosed incorrectly as dise,?.*es
in themselves. Many Americans
believe that we are solving our
problems; we have built hospitals
to combat mental disease; we have
better trained police and national
guard to combat riots. Whut
actually does seem to be the truth
is that these problems are also
symptoms. The 10% of the
American population who will see
the insides of mental institutions
are not only a serious problem,
but a reflection of a diseased
society. The significance of voting
is not that a segment of our
populatin breaks the law, but that
this portion of our population is
desperate enough to break with
established authority.
'Unfortunately
many
manifestations of disease uro
regarded as disease itself. When
Americans attempt to solve that
old problem of prostitution we
attempt to treat it as a disease
itself. What should be recognized
is that prostitution la a significan
reflection of the seller's lack of
e c o n o m i c security, and the
buyer's lack of emotional
security, reflections of failures in
society. Problems such as these
can not be solved unless the
diseased roots of the problem are
healed. This would necessitate
sweeping ethical changes which
have been long overdue in
American society.
It should be clear that at
present the problem solving
techniques used by this nation
have
been
tragically
unenlightened. The illegality of
drugs, the repression of student
unrest (as demonstrated in the
Flynn Bill) the use of tactical
police forces against rioting will
be no mora effective than the
prohibition of alcohol, because
they are all attacks on symptoms
and not on causes of dieseases.
If we are serious in our
attempts to solve problems, we
better start identifying the real
problems and their real causes.
Conditions now exist which need
to be understood and acted upon.
Certainly the time has come to
s t o p worrying about the
superficial appearance of society
and its individual members, and
start "straightening up the mess
that's inside."
Collins explains
term appointments
by Amy Curian
"Nobody has been fired,"
President Evan R. Collins stated at
his Conference with students
yesterday. He continued to
explain that Dr. Waterman and
Mrs. Rhoads hold 3-ycar term
appointments, which will expire
in June of 1970.
There are 2 groups of faculty
members; about one-half, or 400
are on term appointments; the
other half are permanent.
According to Collins, the term
appointment system tends to
"keep the university alive and
changing." "When the term
appointment comes to its end,
it terminates." Two hundred or
more positions terminate each
year and no one is guaranteed a
renewal. Appointees are notified
at least one year in advance of
their release.
At the end of the term, the job
usually stays in the department,
which decides on the line. The
department may extend or divide
the position, or merely seek new
candidates.
This post year, as an emergency
mL:^iure, the lines went into other

Math department
receives NSF grant
A $480,000 grant has been
received by the Mathematics
Department from the National
Science Foundation under the
foundation's
Departmental
Science Development Program.
The award is one of 12 grants in
the program designed to improve
the quality of research and
education in individual areas of
science and engineering at
universities operating at the
graduate level.
The University's mathematics
department, of which Vincent J.
Cowling is chairman, is the only
mathematics department selected
in the current awards totaling
$7,241,670. Each grant supports a
s p e c i f i c area of s c i e n c e ,
engineering, or mathematics in
which the grantee institution
already has sufficient strength to
serve as a base for significant and
further improvement to a higher
level of capability.
Professor Cowling said tha the
award "was granted largely
because we were able to attract
initially to Albany an outstanding
group of mathematics professors
many of whom have earned
international reputations because
of their contributions to
mathematics."
The department chairman
pointed out that the idea behind
the grant is that the department
be able to build a distinguished
graduate faculty. Commented
Professor Cowling, "That is the
reason for awarding the grant to
the department. The students will
benefit by virtue of the fact that
they will have access to very
distinguished and able teachers.
This comes at a time when the
competition for graduate students
is keen and it is extremely
important to be able to present to
potential graduate students a
distinguished
faculty.
Undergraduates benefit because
such a high calibre staff provides
them in turn with instructors who
will give them a broader
perspective and broader view of
modern mathematics."
the need
for
student's
participation, he pointed to the
fact that the
Psychology
Department was the only
department in the College of Arts
and Sciences in which students
have not had representation.
Seniors, annoyed with the
rumor that a fine was imposed on
students who did not participate
in the graduation ceremony, were
assured by Collins that no such
fine exists. "We are not dragging
anyone
into
attending
commencement."
The Task Force reports will be
available within the next few
days, and will be referred to the
appropriate
University
committees and Central Council.
These
reports deal with
administrative organization, the
academic calendar, and an
experimental college.
A modified-semester plan has
been proposed, whereby final
exams would be given before the
December

committees will also present their
recommendations on a pass/fuil

Psych Decision
Vol. LVNo.^gcj
f v » teachers have been given notification that their contracts will
not be renewed. And because of the type of people DM. Waterman
and Rhoads are, the students are upset. Student opinion rates both
faculty members highly as teachers in the classroom. And both have
been greatly involved in the education of students outside the
classroom. Became of these factors, we feel that the University can
ill-afford to lose them.
We feel that a highly regretable mistake has been made. But it is not
too late to correct this mistake.
Student opinion is considered by the faculty to be both valid and
important in the decision-making processes of the University. Acting
on this consideration. Faculty Senate in the Fall of this year provided
for student representation on all of its Councils, including Educational
Policies and Promotion and Continuing Appointmen, both of which
consider matters relating directly to faculty status. •
We, therefore, ask the department to reconsider these two cases in
the light of the high degree of student opinion in favor of retaining
these individuals on the University Faculty. We ask that these two
individuals be considered on their fulfillment of the criteria, listed in
the Faculty Handbook and written and approved by the faculty,
regarding that which is expected of the teaching professor: teaching,
scholarship and contributions to the University.
We further urge the department to consider the academic
advantages to itself in retaining these two individuals AND the
advantages to the University as a whole in retaining two people so
active in teaching students, both inside and outside the classroom. All
too few faculty members take comparable interest in student
education outside the formal teaching situation, and the Psychology
department in recent years has been one of the leaders in this area. We
hope that they will continue to consider this aspect of education
important.
This is not the ifrst case in which students have felt a need for
responsible involvement, nor is it likely to be the last. The Univerisity
is responsible for the education of its students and it is the obligation
of the students to speak out when they feel that an administrative
decision will hamper their education.
We hope that responsible student action (petitioning and verbal
communication by the students within the department) will lead to a
reconsideration of the decision in the cases of Drs. Waterman and
Rhoads and that the conclusion finally reached will be in the best
interest of the University.
Blossoming Growth
Almost as if by magic, the vast wasteland we have come to know as
the uptown'campus of the State University of N.Y. at Albany has
been transformed from a dismal blend of white and black sterility into
a blossoming, blooming melange of greenery and people-ry. The
appearance of vegetation in this "moonport" seemingly has conspired
with an amazing invasion by real people—-they're everywhere! In the
quads, on the fields, in the circle, even on the podium!
This is Spriivgat its very best. The plants seem to have come alive,
and with them, the campus.
The blossoming has also taken place indoors. Notice how every
time you turn around, another,eminent and knowledgeable speaker
seems to pop up. Be it a black power advocate or a prominent
historian, speakers are appearing all over. We've been graced wi";, s u c n
people as Supreme Court Justice Doublas,Congrcssw^ man Chisholm
and Nathan Wright, eminent author, in the<faM 0 f o n e w e c k .
Here is an opportunity for anot»;,tfr k i n d 0 f g r o w th..a growth that
the student is the participant in. We can learn a great deal from the
speakers coming to ' i m s c a m p u s wittiin the next few weeks; we have
been promised s u c n diverse men as Ted Sorenson, Nat Hentoff, Leltoi
JonjJ, Charles Ever, the former President of Peru, and others. This is
an opportunity which should not be missed.
Gray matters-not only in the classroom but in the lecture room,
where much valuable and interesting information can be attained.
Don't let apathy hold you back; take advantage of one of the great
advantages this University offers you.

Apathy
To the Editors:
Apathy at SUNY-Albany? Seems to be a
perennial complaint. But it is interesting that
student political activism seems much more
noticeable of recent than that of the faculty. The
past few weeks have seen a number of petitions
published in the Sunday New York Times ranging
over the issues of population control, the ABM, the
Arab-Israeli war, Hunger in American and race
re ations. In all cases SUNY-Albany faculty are
represented poorly, if at all, while other SUNY
systems, Stony Brook especially, come off rather
impressively.
Is it that SUNY-Albany faculty are all oblivious
to the problems of our time, that they believe that
their names have no influence, or that there is just
no petition ciruculation system among the faculty.
We would prefer to think the latter, but that is
hardly an acceptable excuse. We students might
hope that some among our prestigious faculty might
soon find it in their valuable time to take such a
responsibility upon themselves, demonstrating their
awareness and concern as well.
Sincerely,

There seem to be clear indications that the
sentences, and probably the military crimes
charged, in these cases are excessive. I therefore
inquired of the Department of the Army
concerning this matter, and particularly
concerning the legal and factual foundation for
the sentences imposed upon some of the
accused. The Army's response to my inquiry
indicates an awareness of the factual basis for a
challenge at least to the sentences, and affords
basis for the hope that these senteences will be
reduced in the military justice appeal processes.
Indeed, one such sentence has already been very
substantially reduced. If the others are not, I
intend to do my utmost (while recognizing the
disciplinary problems involved) in my contacts
with the Secretary of the Army, who has the
necessary authority, to get justice in this
situation and a material reduction in the
sentences.

to the Secretary of the Army Stanley Resor, to
Senators Javits and Goodell and to Congressman

Perlmutter statement
At noon Friday, 11 April, 1969, an ad hoc
student committee issued a statement suggesting my
name as candidate for presiden of the University.
The committee was generous in its praise, and I am
deeply touched and grateful for their confidence.
However, I feel obliged to make abundantly clear,
especially to those who have not read the original
document: I am not, nor have I been a candidate for
this or any other office in the University. Indeed my
fantasies run in the opposite direction, toward
teaching, writing, and research.
Their campaign originated and was implemented
without my knowledge.

Central
Council
Prompted by Vice President Terry Mathias, Council recognized that
the actions of Student Association involve all members of the student
body. Thus students deserve the right to participate in the making of
policies which inevitably affect them. Recent examples include S. A.'s
initiation of open visitation and alcohol revisions.
Accordingly, all students may now vote in Student Association
elections, including the forthcoming Central Council elections.
Activity cards are no longer required.
Council also passed a bill urging MYSKANIA "to study the
possibility of forming a body to assume the functions of
MYSKANIA." Doug Qoldshmidt, author of the measure, stated that
MYSKANIA has "ceased to be a valuable body..." and is now,
"nothing more than a parasite upon the Student Association."
Goldshmidt explained that MYSKANIA has not kept pace with a
changing University community.
The students asked that these
petitions be considered as new

that "any evidence that was
