Mandatory Tax
Money is the lifeline of nearly everything that happens on this
campus. Academically, our growth and development depend greatly
upon the size of the aDottments granted in the New York State
Executive budget. Socially and politically, every club, publication and
sport on campus is dependent upon allotments granted by Student
Association, which is in turn dependent upon individual student
contributions in the form of "Student Tax." ,
The decreasing number of students who pay student tax has
brought about a crisis of sorts on campus. Expansion and lack of
money have again come into conflict. Budgets have been cut, in many
cases, from activities that sorely needed the entire sum requested. But,
due to the fact that Central Council does not have enough money to
grant everyone all they needed, many exciting new programs had to
be cut—some completely.
Student support is needed and greatly desired for any and all
activities on campus. We cannot find in these problems, however a
justification for demanding that every student, regardless of whether
he wants to or not, pay tax.
Without becoming impassioned or irrational, we have examined the
tax questions from both sides, with the greatest of care. We have come
to the conclusion that almost everyone should pay tax—and that no
one should be forced to.
Why? Because student activities, unlike welfare programs, are
neither a necessity for the payee, nor a human service to the recipient.
It is well and good that SUNYA has a sailing club, a judo club, and so
many other clubs and organizations which cater to a small group of
students. If there is enough money to finance these, activities, great.
But if there is not, we see little reason to force students to pay nearly
$30 a semester for the privilege of knowing that all clubs are open to
him, and that he has a choice of hundreds. He could care less, and we
have to agree with him.
There are those who argue that all students get advantages from the
tax, regardless of whether or not they attend any events or join any
clubs at all. This is irrelevant. If tax was needed to sustain solely these
activities which we consider necessities, the number of students
willing to pay it would probably be much higher—and the cost of the
tax would be much lower. But as it stands, Student Association would
coerce every student into paying for the frills, the extras, which
although they are desirable, are in no way necessities.
Student desires should be the final determinant of what is to
survive with SA subsidy, and what will not. If there is a lack of desire
to maintain a variety of clubs, publications and teams, then they
should die. This is undesirable, but to force students to pay for
activities for which they have no use is even more undesirable. WE
URGE VOU TO VOTE "NO" IN THE REFERENDUM.
If Referendum Fails...
Student Tax may be made mandatory in the near future.. .whether
or not students vote down the issue in referendum this week. This
undemocratic development is a result of the decision of Supreme
Court last term. It was ruled that Central Council can make tax
mandatory simply by passing legislation in a body composed of all
students, rather than simply Student Association members. By now
opening elections to all students, Council has made this a very real
possibility if the referendum fails.
What it boils down to is this: Even if you vote against mandatory
tax, you cannot be sure if it will become policy or not. It is here
where greater student awareness is soimportant. If you are concerned
about mandatory tax, you mustdemand of your candidates that they
declare their stand on that issue. Too many times, candidates have
been elected while students knew nothing of their stands.
In this case, the issue is too clear-cut for students to ignore. You
must know where your representative will stand on tax if he is to
represent you fairly. REMEMBER: You will be the benificiary of
your intelligent voting, and it is you who will suffer if you remain
unaware.
Irresponsibility
The University Administration has expressed interest in student
participation in departmental and administrative matters for the past
year or thereabouts. Various student groups have also expressed their
desire to be able to influence various faculty and administrative
decisions. But are they serious? With certain individuals to the
contrary, the students of our various departments have not actively
taken a part in departmental affairs.
ft is suggested that most students recognize what committee work
entails, and actually want nothing to do with it. If this is true, then
their claims to a voice in the management of their academic lives is
jive. No matter how willing our Administration and Faculty is to
allow student participation, it is to no end if the student body takes
no active role in the decision making process.
The whole movement for student participation ringshollow at State.
It it our opinion that the student body hasn't much heart; it appears
that the actual work and responsibility required for the meaningful
role they have claimed is their right has proved too much.
Crisis committment has its merits, but we suggest that continuing
committment to the concept of student participation will prevent
crisis development in the future.

On abortion reform
by Iris Schwartz
Steve Solan, 25 year old
freshman
Assemblyman
(D-Bklyn.) brought his case for
abortion reform to the SUNYA
campus Tuesday njght while
addressing an open meeting of the
University's New Democratic
Coalition. Assemblyman Solarz
spoke on a myriad of topics
ranging from gun control on the
college campus to the New York
State taxation program. The
highlight of the talk centered
around Mr. Solarz' reasons for
actively
s u p p o r t i n g the
Blumenthal abortion reform bill
that was once again defeated in
this legislative session.
Assemblyman Solarz called the
debate on abortion reform
''almost
a psychedelic
experience," and assailed the
weak logic that was offered by the
opposition as reasons for voting
against the bill.
Solarz indicated that many
Assemblymen did not seem to
take into account the variety of
cases where it might be more
moral to abort the fetus than not
to. Mr. Solarz stated sarcastically
that the opposition gave the
impression that passing the reform
bill would make abortion
mandatory, and that certainly is
not the case.
Those in favor of the reform
measures should try to understand
the valid reasons given by those
who are sincerely opposed to the
bill. "They genuinely believe that
abortion is, in bluntest terms,
murder." The crux of the problem
rests with the question "where
does morality lie?" Some say it is
moral to permit abortion while
others say it is moral to prohibit
abortion. Those in favor of reform
say that we must let the morality
of the situation rest with the
individuals involved. Retaining the
present abortion law is "violating
the fundamental notions of
freedom and liberty" inherent In
our society,. Denying the reforms
is imposing a personal conception
of morality on others.
Repealing the abortion law has
been suggested but the ice must
be cracked with a reform bill at
first. For at least another year the
majority of women who need
abortions still will not be legally
eligible to obtain them.
Mr. Solarz addressed himself to
the recent campus disruptions and
stated emphaticallly that he is
against allowing guns on college
campuses, and said that students
should not expect amnesty but
should be willing to take the
consequences of his act. However,
Solarz felt that students shouldn't
have Regents Scholarships
withheld because of participation
in a campus distrubance.
Assemblyman Solarz spoke
about filling up the loopholes in
the present tax laws and of
increasingthe income tax instead
of the sales tax. Also discussed
was the residency requirement for
welfare recipients, lowering the
voting age, and the problems of a

So far this year, the Danes record stands at two wins and five losses
with double losses in two triangulars, a single loss to Hartwick, and a
double win over Pittsburgh and Oneonta in their third triangular of
the year.
In their meets so far this year, the Danes have been hurt primarily
by their lack of depth as they have received outstanding individual
performances jyet have not been able to pull out more than the double
victory.
Don Van Cleve has been exceptional thus far in the field events as
he turned in impressive performances in the javelin, discus and shot

Playing at Siena's home course
and being guided by the fact that
the borne team sets the rules of

by the lower total of the four best
scores on each team. Siena won
by a total of 13 strokes. Low
scorers for State were John Heher

To be eligible for the exchange

sophomore or junior and have a
grade point average of 2.5, or
above average. He pays only the
regular in-state resident fees at the

The Central CouncQ-LAAC elections ending today are i disgrace.
Just about no one knew who wai running from where until they
had to vote. Many students had the exciting choice of voting for
someone they did not know, voting only for those candidates they
happened to hear about, or not voting at all.
The Housing Office did not complete next semester's residence
list in enough time for it to be printed in the ASP before elections.
This cannot happen again for it is the reason why no one knew who
was running from where.

presumptuous to believe any of them could represent those who voted
for them. No one knows what any candidate represents. We believe
that many of them do not know what representation.is.
. At the very moment that students here are developing some sort
of awareness of current issues, there was no effort by the candidates
to articulate these issues. This sad story, repeated every year, gets
perpetually worse.
The newly-elected Central Council must rewrite the election bill
so that future candidates for that institution are required to present
and discuss their views with the other candidates. If the nominees do
not meet this requirement they should not have the opportunity to
run for office. What good to anyone is a representative who does not
know or reveal to his constituents what he represents?

Across America today, most people see stability as the ultimate
goal of this society. A good government is a stable government;
(except when that government is communist) a stable society is a
good society.

It is therefore, no wonder that widespread panic and fear have now
been aroused by the upheavals on college campuses. Americans view
with distaste any attempt to change the status quo — especially when
they feel that the existing conditions are leading to the American ideal
- "success." "College is a place where, if you study and be a good
boy, you'll make lots of money when you get older."
Students have rejected the traditional, and legislators find this
grounds for rapid movement. Legislation is passed which aims at
retaining the somewhat shaky traditional standards. The legislators
aim at removing the symptoms of the decay of the educational
system.
As has become customary in this nation, the public and the
legislators have attacked the surface manifestations of the problem
facing them, rather than looking into the crux of the problem-its
root. "Law and order" must be preserved, society's basic fabric must
remain untouched.
So it may; So then, too, will the causes of the problem.
With all this in mind, it was with mixed emotions that we heard of
Senator John McLellan of Arkansas being appointed as head uf a
newly created committee to delve into the causes and roots of campus
disorders. It is our earnest hope, although we are pessimistic from the
outset, that this committee aims to find out the why of disorders,

The intelligent voter was mocked and affronted by the present
ludicrous set of circumstances. The overwhelming majority of
candidates, by their silence, have already proven themselves
unworthy of the position for which they nominated themselves.
This mockery of democracy can not persist forever. While it does,
an inflexible, irrelevent uncommunicative and unrepresentative
government is the result, benefitting no one and meaningless to
everyone.
The members of Central Council reaffirmed their lack of faith in
the student body last night. An attempt to present the proposal for
popular election of President and Vice President of Central Council to
a referendum as part of the newly proposed Constitution was
destroyed as members again voted to table the proposal.
The basic question here is not the merit of the proposal for direct
election of officers. It is far more fundamental than that. The
question posed is a dual one: Firstly, does Central Council have the
right to determine thewhether or not students are capable of electing
their own offices directly and Secondly, do students care enough
about their rights to show some concern about this attempt to deny
them?
We strongly disagree with Council's attempt to deny students their
voice in determining government policy.
Student concern is another question altogether. If you do
care about having a say in the body that determines University policy,
then take an active concern; acquaint your representative with your
views; for God's sake, communicate! One great failure of Council has
been its lack of communication with the student body. Do you care?

'Sailor'
To the Editors:
My complaint is so small that I think moat people
tend to overlook it. Yet I am sure that everyone on
campus has come into contact with it.
Correct me if I am wrong, hut Isn't there u law
against dogs in public eating places'.' Or to be more
specific why is that ugly monster called "Sailor"
allowed in the Snack Bar and Dining Hulls? I don't
like the Idea of that dirty animal roaming around
the kitchen areas or staring me in the face, burking
for food, while I am eating.
I called Security and usked them the sume
question. According to them, they can not keep the
dog off campus because he can't read signs tolling
him to keep out. Since they know who the owner Is,
why don't they tell him to keep that dog off
empus, or else we will, permanently.

do not necessarily reflect its views
Seth W. Spellman, associate
professor of social welfare and
i n t e r i m chairman of the
department of Afro-American
studies, has high praise for the
new appointee. "Dr. Wright has
had wide experience in the
problems of urban America and I
feel that such experience will be
of fundamental importance to the
department. He has occupied
leadership positions in the black
community and in efforts at
resolving the difficult situations
that black Americans find
themselves in. He has occupied
these leadership positions at the
local, state, and national levels.
We feel that this coupled with his
academic qualifications make him
uniquely prepared to lead a
department such as has been
e s t a b l i s h e d by the State
University of New York at
Albany."

President Collins was barraged
with questions concerning the
letter from Dr. Meadows of the
Sociology and Anthropology
Departments.
Many sociology
majors were greatly concerned, as
they have found it virtually
impossible to either pull cards for,
or get signed-into specific
sociology courses.
Collins attributed this problem
to the over-all change in
requirements. With the release of
students from the history
requirement, many have turned to
sociology.
He reported that Dr. Meadows
had been brought in to build up
the Sociology and Anthropology
departments, but denied having
made any written commitment to
him. He stated, "Perhaps we have
put a disportionate share of our
insufficient funds" into the
sociology department, but cited
that all spare money was
appropriated to part-time
positions in the department this
year. He further suggested that
perhaps present faculty members
could slightly increase their course
loads.
Due to the budgetary freeze
and enrollment increase, there will
be
a cutback
in
the
student/faculty ratio from a
present 1/13.5 to 1/14.3. The
subject was closed when Collins
stated that adjustments would not
be
made
until
after
pre-registration.
President Collins reported a
recent acquisition from Syracuse
University. It represents a grant to
a consortium of colleges in the
tri-city area for "cooperative
academic efforts in community
problems."
Students were assured that
private housing will soon be
available for them. Collins cited
one operator in particular in
Madison Ave., which will
accomodate 100-125 student*.
