Shadows
We ire the dead, the ones who, being products of a culture that'
ritualistically celebrates the destruction of all that makes life
beautiful, are left to stand as shadows of substance and meaning.
It is pathetically laughable, the hypocritical satisfaction we get
from castigating our government and ourselves for allowing wars to
continue. We, as students are an obvious manifestation of the ritual
war. We create our own unique individual wars among our friends, our
teachers, our parents.
„
We have let our culture excape with our own peace of mind, a mind
we never even had. Shadows, we march to the barricades wondering
who we are, where we will march next, wondering if shndows can
band together to make reality.
If we can come together within ourselves, make our own bodies
into invulnerable instruments of total communication, invulnerable to
the destitution of external forces. We can no longer hide in the
alleyways provided by any illegitimate authorities. Strike out, we urge
you, for your own souls, for cosmic consciousness, communion with
the unique univers of self.
We urge you not to react to the celebration of death by reading the
names of the dead, by inculcating the self in the horrors of war, for by
doing this we are legitimizing the death culture, surrounding all
possible means of excape to life with prison bars constructed by the
powerful dead.
We cannot let ourselves continue in the trap we arc in, we must
beware of new wars, from all sides, wars denying the liberating life of
the individual.
We were appalled to find that the Campus Center Snack Bar set up
a policy which said, in effect, that if a student employed there did not
report for work on October 15-Moratorium Day-he would find his
employment there terminated (in other words he would be fired).
We understand the idea that employeees have a responsibility to tell
their employers if they will not report for work; we believe that the
threat of action by the snack bar was aimed only at those who did not
give notification.
However, it is obvious that the snack bar hierarchy has acted in a
totally ridiculous manner. Threatening someone with loss of
employment on the basis of one day of absence is not standard
procedure; it seems that political views may have colored this
decision.
If anyone has been fired on these grounds, we hope the snack bar
management will realize their odious mistake and rescind their action.
The elections for University Senate will be held from Tuesday,
October 21, to Thursday, October 23. Write in votes are permitted, as
long as tho write in candidate has the qualifications neccesary to hold
the office. The rally for the residents of Alumni Quad will be held on
October 19, from 2 to 5 P.M. in Brubacher Lower Lounge.
COMMUNICATIONS
Moratorium Day
To the Editors:
The National Moratorium Day has passed.
Whether or not it has succeeded in its avowed
purpose, however, remains to be seen. Even the
Moratorium's most active supporters apparently
could not have expected immediate results, as further
similar activities are planned for the future.
Evenutually, wc will be forced to judge the
Moratorium on its merits as a contributor to peace,
bearing in mind the Administration's present
commitment to a negotiated peace. To the extent to
which the Moratorium will have contributed to and
speeded the cause of peace, it is to be praised; and
to the extent to which it may delay the cause of
peace in V/iet-Nam ' l ' s to be condemned as a
capricious further wast of human lives..

Republican moratorium
To the Editors,
"The members of the SUNYA COIIege
Republican Club would like to express their support
of the October 15 Moratorium on the war in
Vietnam. As politically involved students, we feel it
is our obligation to take a stand. We think this is a
valid educational experience that students can take
advantage of, to learn and to express their
sentiments on this very important issue."
The preceeding executive board resolution was
presented and unanimously adopted by those
present at the October 9 meeting of the Albany
State College Republicans. We believe we must
become involved In the everyday life of the campus
community, making our views known and our
presence felt. This resolution represents a new
policy of involvement in the affairs of the university
community, and a concern for social and moral
issues of today.

To the editors:
Heil Haley and Food Service! Nothing Is more
important than the iron rule, including students.
Hell Haley and Food Service! The students are to bo
penalized for the inefficiency of Food Service.
Upon learning that the permanent meal cards had
arrived I went down and waited in line only to
further learn that my permanent meal card Hmt4i*en
misplaced. I was told to go to Food Service's office
at State Quad the following Monday. Being well
aware of the Inefficiency of this University Monday
morning my friend called Food Service to find out
whether the permanent meal cards were ready. She
was informed that she needn't come, the cards
would be distributed to the various quads in a few
days. But this wasn't done and permanent meal
cards became mandatory Friday, Oct. 10 at 4:00
p.m.
At dinner trie checker refused to let me through
the line because my name was not in the missing
cards list. 1 explained the situation to Mrs. Hayes,
who evidently is in charge of Food Service at Dutch.
She informed me that until I had gotten a pass or
permanent meal card I would not be permitted to
eat in the cafeteria and if my friends brought food
to me, their meal cards would be confiscated.
To eat, I needed a Food Service pass which could
only be obtained at State Quad by 5:00. It was then
5:00, but she allowed me to call Food Service from
the cafeteria and request that the office remain
open a little longer. A student worker agreed so I
ran over and obtained that precious scrap of paper.
Why hadn't they given the pass to me earlier?
They're so busy no one knows what they're
doing-I've noticed.
Tht student is charged $5.00 for replacing a lost
meal card, regardless of whether it is a permanent or
temporary meal card (Alas! students who are
inconvenienced when Food Service loses their cards
are not paid $5.00!).
Are justice and mercy lost virtues at Albany
State? Even though Mrs. Hayes realized that it was
through no fault of my own that I had neither a
permanent meal card not a pass in my possession,
she would have deprived me of my meals. It is a
rude awakening to learn just how the officials in
charge of this university have the student's interest
at heart.

Warped Urbano
To whom this should concern:
After having read Verne Urbano's letter (ASP,
10/10 69), I decided certain comments were
necessary, if not obligatory. I am not concerned
with Mr. Urbano's dislike for "Peace vs.
US"(ASP,9/30/69); however, his entire criticism
and attitude openly suggest an anti-intellectual as
well as totalitarian approach to other people.
Unfortunately Mr. Urbano does not attend this
"institution." Hopefully his children will receive a
many-faceted education, something which Mr.
Urbano desperately could use. It would be a pity if
his children were indoctrinated with Marine-Corps
ideology, for their solutions to self-perceived
"Problems" are going to revolve around violent
annihilation, as prophesized by Mr. Urbano when he
said: "If, personally,, I could get my hands on the
element of depraved human responsible for this
filth, the problem would be solved."
Lautly, I am happy that the "Irate American" is
sending a copy of "Peace vs. US" to the "top
administrators" of the State University. Perhaps he
will also send a copy of his letter so that Mr.
Urbano's primitive diatribe and stimulating expose
of his own warped personality.
Yours truly,

First, Mr. Urbano seemed very disturbed by the
language used in the editorial. For any
communication to be effective, it has to be read and
understood. Mr. Urbano, the war is still on, mon are
still dying.
Think, sir...Why dirty words, vulgar thoughts?
Unfortunately, no one wants to listen to you until
you twist his arm a bit. It's as simple as that. If it
takes a four-letter word to make people sit up and

Defense contracts,
narcotics policy
by Perry Silverman
Two of the important issues
facing universities today, military
defense contracts and drugs on
campus, were discussed at this
Monday's conference of President
Kuusisto with the students.
In answer to previous inquiries
concerning Albany State's
involvement with
Defense
Department research contracts,
Kuusisto provided a list of six
contracts being fulfilled with
various members of the defense
establishment totaling $861,255.
The largest of the six was a
$600,000 contract with the Air
Force for a project being
researched by Professor Vonnegut
of the Atmospheric Sciences
Research
Center.

Properties of Clouds and Fog"

and air pollution.

Other contracts with the
defense establishment concern
those with the Office of
NavalResearch on "The Fear of

Behavior" and "The Growth of
S m a l l Particles
in t h e
A t m o s p h e r e , " by Professors
Teevan and Mohnen, respectively.
Kuusisto emphasized that these
projects were Not of a secret
nature .
The next major question
considered was one raised by a
student at the conference on the
arrest of four Albany State
students involved with marijuana
on campus and any possible shift
in the university's "narcotics
policy."
Clifton Thome, Vice President
of Student Affairs, acknowledged
at this time that this was the first
arrest made for narcotics use on
campus. However, he pointed out
that formal charges were not

F r i d a y n i g h t saw the
inauguration of the new
Performing Arts Center Recital
Hall with the second of the
Faculty Series Concerts, a flute
recital by Irvin Oilman of the
faculty here, accompanied by
Dennis Helmrich on piano and
harpsichord. The new recital hall
is easily the most opulent room
and best designed theatre on
campus, and the crystal chandalier
in it is purely a jewel of
perfection.
The program began with Sonata
IV for flute and harpsichord,
supposedly by Mozart, although a
number of factors, principally its
low Koechel index number of 13,
and mainly the extremely
sophisticated counterpoint in
some sections, seem to weigh very
heavily against this being the work
of an eight-year old. More likely it
is a work of J.C. Bach which the
young Mozart either copied or
transcribed for his own use, and
later being discovered in his
manuscript, was erroneously
thought to be his. This light and
airy work, which oddly enough,
ended with a minuet, received a
very sturdy performance from
Messrs. Oilman and Helmrich.
The next work's authenticity,
however, is scarcely to be
questioned. The Sonata in B
minor, S. 1030, for Flute and
Cembalo Obbligato by J.S. Bach is
one of the most rugged pieces in
the literature, and was a piece that
offered considerable challenges to
both players. In fact, the only
time during the entire concert
when I felt in the least dissatisfied
with the performance came during
the second movement of this
piece when the players seemed to
be fighting their instruments.
The second half of the concert
consisted of two very interesting
and different twentieth century
pieces for flute. The first was
Edwin London's "Song and
Dance," which was written for
Mr. Gilman, and which, to my
ears at least, was a rather pleasant
piece of concert jazz that had
however, some weak spots.
Fluency was the key word here.
The three players, expecially Mr.
Gilman, were very much at ease in
the very fluid language that the
piece was written in. Another
interesting aspect of the piece was
that it had a part for snare drum
improvisation, played very well
here by Mr. Thomas Brown, also
of the faculty.
The final piece on the program
was the Prokofiev Sonata for
Flute, Op. 94. This work dates
from the relatively free years of
the Second World War, when the
Russian government was too busy
fighting Nazis to regulate musical
styles much, and as a result,
contains some of Prokofiev's
prettiest (and best) music. In its
four movements it encompasses
pretty much what Prokofiev was
all about, with its broad arching
melodies, its lush harmonies, its
formalism, and its extremely dry
wit and grotesque™.
Performance-wise, this piece
was for me the height of the
evening, receiving a very loving
performance at the hands of
Messrs. Gilman and Helmrich. As
an encore, they performed the
Saint-Saens "Voliere" from the
"Carnival of the Animals." All in
all, a very fine concert.

major forces vying for supremacy
in modern America. One is a
humanistic ethic perpetuated by
the Bill of Rights which supports
the equality of man and gives him
the initiative to be. The other is
the Protestant work ethic which
also supports self-determination
but indirectly fronts for a
deplorable selfish doctrine of
undeclared opportunism.
One ethic supports humanity;
the other supports money. The
winner of this devastating
juxtaposition is the foundation
g o d of the work e t h i c :
materialism.
Everyone is so busy getting
their own t h i n g together,
attempting to divorce his own
tight little circle from the human
family, that independence and
l i b e r t y have literally been
prostituted for petty cash. A
p u r i t a n i c a l lovelessness and
suspicion of change perpetuated
by this back-stabbing bourgeoisie
attitude have replaced the human
struggle for honesty and justice
with a fearful social climb at the
expense of others. Not only are
the red-necks and established
orders guilty of this callous
disregard for humanity but the
Captain Americas and Billys share
the blame with their ignorant
hedonistic ethic.
Dennis Hopper's directoral
debut is impressive. He purposely
subordinates himself to the Fonda
character by overacting in order
to bring out the subtleties of
Fonda's brooding nature. At times
Fonda resembles a young Tom
Joad (once played by his father)
in search of that justice and
equality that everyone seeks. The
film could have been his if it
hadn't been for the brilliant
performance of Jack Nicholson,
who plays George Hanson, a
sotted ACLU lawyer.
Nicholson's caustic bayou
twang has a profound effect upon
Fonda's consciousness, making
him understand the futility of a
"search for freedom." His
incredibly sarcastic humor
examines the American paranoia
that fears destruction from
external forces yet fails to realize
the smug internal decay that
signals an incurable social illness.
Nicholson is the conscience of the
film. His naturalism steals the easy
ride.
Finally,
Lazlo Kovacs'
cinematography captures and
blends a landscape of fantastic
geological beauty with soft filter
lens hues, adding to the poignancy
of the tragedy.
EASY RIDER is an abrasive
film that jolts people into militant
opinions about the state of
American
mores.
The
Fonda-Hopper film is an honest
analysis of the word "freedom"
and its applications in our uptight
society. The movie is a tribute to
the courage of independently
produced films of true importance
and to the fortitude of its creators
who made it work.

BACKGROUND
At its June 2,1969 meeting the Faculty Senate approved a system of mixed grading;
on June 5, three days later, it moved to reconsider. The new discussion made it clear
that to many faculty there were faults in a mixed system, faults in the present system,
and faults in a "pure" S-U system, but most of all that the Senate could not evalutate
the proposals in the form and time submitted. Consequently, they voted to recommit
the matter to the Undergraduate Academic Council, who were asked "to have a report
ready and available to members of the Senate by tern days prior t o " the first meeting of
the fall. It was to be the first item on the agenda.
In response to the assignment given it by the Senate, the Council at its organizational
meeting for 1969-70 (June 11, 1969) agreed to establish an ad hoc committee
consisting of Robert Thorstenson (English, chairman of Academic Standing Committee
1969-70) as chairman, "up to four students, and tow to four more faculty members."
It was hoped that most members would have served on one of the SUNY Albany
groups that had studied the grading question. '

THOSE WERE THE DAYS"
describes the encounter in better
fashion. There were very few
scoring opportunities for either
team. When the defense was called
on to make the play, they were
there but these occasions were
few and far between. The wind
was a very great factor in the
playing of the game. The ball
would either go nowhere if kicked
into the wind or would travel all
the way downfield if the wink was
at the kickers back.
The game was scoreless at the
half and continues this way until
late in the third qurater. With
only one minute to play in the
period, RIT's fine center forward
Steve Teramy booted in a loose
ball after a mell in front of the
goal. Teramy was an all-cholastic
selection in Rochester for four
years. Aside from this goal, the
Dane's defense did a fine job
keeping him in check.

The westerners, according to
Coach Schiefflin, are a solid team
but are unpredictable.
Thus far, the Danes have had
quite a bit of trouble putting the
ball in the net. They have given up
fewer than three goals per game
but have scored only a littly over
one a ga^me- hence, an 0-4-2
record.

The committee had five meetings and some informal discussions. This Report,
written by Thorstensen and Collier, expresses the unanimous judgment of the group.
At least four groups at SUNY Albany have studied reform of the grading system. (1)
The Task Force on Instruction recommended "the abolition of the letter grade system
and its replacement with S or U grades." (2) The Task Force on Academic Regulations
considered several proposals but voted to recommend no change in grading for the
present. Their report noted that among faculty and students there was a good deal of
"enthusiastic support" for a Pass-Fail option. (3) The Commission for Academic
Affairs of the student government strongly recommended a total S-U system and in
March conducted a poll of nearly 2,000 students, of whom over 70% favored pass-fail
grading in all courses. (4) The Academic Standing Committee studied the question
through most of 1968-69, investigating a number of plans for change. They canvassed
faculty opinion on this campus and others, including directors of graduate shcools. Oil
May 26, the Committee recommended in a five-page report to the Undergraduate
Academic Council a "Mixed " H-S-U system, to which the Council added a
recommendation for field examinations. It was this plan which the Senate was finally
unwilling to adopt at the end of the year. Still, the year's work amounted to a virtual
mandate for change.
It is clear that during 1968-69 a great deal of attention was given to the grading
problem by many members of the University community, and valuable reports had
resulted. The summer ad hoc Committee on Grading was expected to work primarily
from these reports and supporting documents, not to look for fresh data unless it was
clearly useful and readily acquired; to develop recommendations for the Senate to act
upon; and to furnish the necessary information and rationale.
PROPOSAL
Resolved that:
A. Beginning in the fall term, 1969, all grades for freshman students shall be submitted
to the Registrar as satisfactory or no credit. Satisfactory work is that quality of
academic performance which the institution expects from its students in order to earn
an undergraduate degree. The mark of no-credit means that a student has not provided
the instructor with evidence which would justify the grade of satisfactory.
B, Beginning in the fall term
sophomores.
1970, such grading shall be used for all freshmen and
C, The new grading system shall be under continuing observation and review by the
Academic Standing Committee of the Undergraduate Academic Council, which shall
interpret the system, report on its operation, and recommend changes as appropriate.
D. The system shall be in effect until June, 1973.
CLARIFICATION OF PROPOSAL
. . SYMBOLS. The expression "all grades for freshman students" refers to grades
formerly recorded as A,B,C,D, and E; the proposal is not intended to affect the special
designations I,W, and Z as currently used. The symbol S, "satisfactory," is now
awarded in graduate seminars, student teaching, and other approved courses
(Undergraduate Bulletin, 1969-70, p. 59). The proposal would extend such approval
while preserving the meaning of the term and the convenience of a symbol that is an
initial letter. The symbol N would avoid the pejorative and often misleading
implications of U ("unsatisfactory") or F("failed"); however, it may be unacceptable as
a symbol, because it now signifies that a course was offered on non-credit basis. Perhaps
NC could be used, or X, but the choice of the most convenient symbols can be
determined by the Registrar in consulatation with the Academic Standing Committee.
4. DURATION'OF EXPERIMENT. Four years provides time for the novelty of the
plan to wear off and for students, faculty, and administration to have gained substantial
experience with it. During the third year the first freshmen under the plan would be
juniors, well into their major fields and with good perspective on their experience.
5. This proposal does not attempt to answer the question, "Wfiat is satisfactory
progress for a student under the proposed system?" The ad hoc committee and the
Undergraduate Academic Council did not feel required to develop the details of policy
in matters of advisement and retention, a normal responsibility of the Academic
Standing Committee.
RATIONALE
The discussion that follows is intended to explain and support the proposals by
considering the most prominent questions and alternatives.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
What's the matter with grades?
Why not a Pass/Fail option ?
Why no " H " for honors work?
Would changes occur in evaluation and standards?
Would the quality of work deteriorate?
What has been the experience of other schools with S-U plans?
2. PRELIMINARY VERSIONS. The proposal is part of the recommendation that
Margaret Farrell's committee submitted to the Task Force on Academic Regulations in
the Spring. (See the Task Force Report, Appendix II.). Much the same proposal had
been independently developed and approved by the students' Academic Affairs
Commission in November, 1968. The Farrell committee also proposed gradual
extension to a total S-U system and the development of comprehensive and field
examinations. These features appear to have been important in its failing to win the
approval of the Task Force.
We came independently to the conviction that the part we offer has the greatest overall
merit and the fewest disadvantages of any plan to come to our attention. We do not see
it as "the answer" to the grading problem but rather as a strong step in the right
direction.
3. STARTING DATE. The policy should begin without delay. The matter has been
long and responsibly deliberated, there is a strong consensus among students, and there
are no major administrative impediments. We can think of no consideration that would
require or justify waiting any longer.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposal is TIMELY. All over this country, indeed the world, the demand is
urgent for creative change in university education. SUNY Albany has so far
responded creditable to this challenge in many areas of campus life and work. There
is strong consensus that reform of the grading system should be the next step and
strong expectation that it will be. We should take that step now.
2. It is EDUCATIONALLY DEVELOPMENTAL. It extends, significantly and
clearly, the scope of the student's self-regulation and urges upon his attention not
the shadow of his education but its substance. It removes a major obstacle between
students and teachers and stimulates fresh approaches to their common enterprise.
Its risks are well worht taking.
3. It is PRACTICAL. It is simple in concept and operation; it is of the right sizelarge enough to count and small enough to observe and control, it is dynamic and
properly paced, allowing time for adaptation and coordination within departments.
For all these reasons, the proposal should be adopted.
The questions listed above in the Rationale
will be answered in the

Endorsement
Well, today begins the voting (YAWN) in "the most important
election ever held on this campus"(Asp Editorial, Oct. 3) SIGH..
We were quite excited about the prespect of elected students
serving on University Senate. Excited, that is, until the campaign
began, (did it ever, really?) Among our choice of adjectives to describe
this "campaign" are: lacklustre,boring, and indifferent.
What about the issues? Well, we found four. No one else seemed to
be looking very hard.
The candidates showed little potential for innovation, almost no
evidence of thought on what they could do for us, and certainly little
proficiency in writing(as exemplified by those incredibly similar and
boring essaysl)
Only a few candidates stood out in any manner. We have decided to
formally endorse, and offer our support, to those candidates. They
are:

evaluating each situation independently. They must not be bound to

any doctrine, and must approach each problem with an open mind.
3. Desire—an active desire to devote time and effort to studying
and considering the issues is vital.
4. Knowledge—Our representatives should have some knowledge
and background in the field of governance of the University.
5. Experience—some experience in government can be an asset.
This election campaign has been more than disappointing; it has
been downright horrible. We are disgusted by the meaninglessness of it
all—and it is more than slightly frustrating to see more and more
posters as the only positive(?) result of, again, "the most important
elections ever held on this c a m p u s . "
Sanctuary
"We provide no sanctuary for those who break the law." This
statement, made by Dr. Thome at the President's Conference
yesterday, defines the attitude of the university as an institution
toward drugs on campus. Thorne also said, "the University is
committed to helping students in trouble."
The grand paradox is that there would be fewer students in legal
trouble if some of the laws were either brought up-to-date or
rescinded altogether. "Trouble" is an illusory term usual'y defined by
the University in the context of established laws. You are "in trouble"
if you protest, "in trouble" if you smoke marijuana, "in trouble" if
you are a human being with peculiarly human habits.
We must keep in mind that humans cannot be successfully judged
by any law. For laws are, by definition, institutionalized and, as such,
can only judge institutions, not individuals. Only other individuals can
execute their morals effectively, justifiably. The laws have no meaning
for humans-we make our own and abide by them.
Because this is true of most people, it is important that they be
educated so their laws arc the result of reasoned thought, not
emotional reaction.
We think that if there is any "problem" at all, it is with the
ridiculously antiquated education that does not aid us in questioning
our own morality or in determining what our "troubles" are.
Perhaps before the University administration starts turning in
students for breaking "the law," they ought to concentrate on
determining validity of those laws, and their humane relationship to
them.

Students in Faculty Senate;
Pass-Fail first consideration
Undeniably, we were hampered by the fact that we do not know all
candidates-- and also, by the inability of many of the candidates to
reach us with their views.
We did use definite criteria, however, in judging the candidates we
were acquainted with, and we did find that the 8 people we have
endorsed fulfilled those criteria.
We looked for these qualities in the candidates:
1. Innovative attitude—we are a mobile body; our representatives in
government must enter with definite ideas which they will attempt to
institute.
2. Open mindedness—We need students who are capable of
These attributes are more or less in descending order. By tar tne
most important criteria upon which we must base our judgement of
the candidate is his openness to new ideas, as exemplified both by
his announced support of some, and his willingness to consider others.
We believe our cnadidates have enough of the above qualities to
merit election; there are other candidates who have made some valid
points, or made some valid contributions, but they did not impress us
sufficiently for us to endorse them. (We still take these elections
seriously, and still consider them of importance.)

Sign Revolution
To the Editors:
On Friday morning, about 2 a.m., on Oct. 17 a
few of us put 15 posters around the campus. They
all said the same thing: Revolution, Nov. 15,
Anarchy.
By 12 noon all 15 posters had vanished. I don't
know who removed the signs but I presume it was
the campus pigs. While putting up the signs a pig
told us that not only weren't we allowed to put up
our posters but that we weren't allowed on the
academic podium after 11 p.m.
We are all students of this University and the
reason for our posters was disgust. All of us had
taken part in the moratorium. A moratorium that
showed the apathy and ignorance of the majority of
students on this campus. A disgust at the little our
efforts achieved.
Only revolution in Washington on Nov. 15 can
start to change this action. In our violent country
there is only one way to force the majority to
change from fighting necessary riots with more
police to getting to the root of the problems.
That way is by having them watch their white,
middle class,sons and daughters die and be beaten
fighting for a legitimate cause.
Non violence has never worked and as the stones
said "the time is right for violent revolution."
Remember our national and parsonal securities are
worth nothing without our freedom.
On Nov. 15, be in Washington, and don't march,
revolt and don't say, destroy.
Undergraduate Requirement Elimination (CURE)
have been working under the auspices of Academic
Affairs Commission since the first of October.
With the aid of Kick Collier and Bob Gibson of
University College, we have explored the feasibility
of eliminating University wide requirements and
have discovered that our goals can be attained by
the end of this semester.
However, such an undertaking needs the
maximum amount of Student and Faculty support.
If our proposal is passed, it will inevitably change
the character of academic life at SUNYA and it
therefore commands the total interest and
commitment of the entire University community.
There will be a meeting Wednesday, October 92
at 7:30 in Lecture Center 2.
Your absence or presence at this meeting may
determine the direction of your academic career.

Lunar samples collected by
Apollo 11 are being studied at
SUNY Albany by Dr. Kline of the
Physics department. The moon
samples will be on display
Saturday from 11-5 and Tuesday
from 9-5 in the Main Lounge of
the Campus Center where they
can be viewed through a
microscope.
Dr. Kline's specific research is
in nuclear magnetic resonance
studies of lunar materials and
lunar simulation samples. While he
has done initial study of the lunar
samples at Oak Ridge, it is
expected that much of his work
will be performed in the magnetic
resonance laboratory in the
University's physics department.

by Carol Hughes
Members of the Ad Hoc
Committee on Grading clarified
the proposed Satisfactory-No
credit rating system at an open
meeting on Tuesday, October
21st. The recommendations of the
committee will be acted upon by
F a c u l t y - S e n a t e on Monday,
October 27th where the plan may
be accepted, rejected or changed.
A panel
c o n s i s t i n g of
C o m m i t t e e Chairman Robert
Thorstenson, Fred Childs, Richard
Collier, Robert Gibson and Terry
Mathias responded to student
questions for the major portion of
the meeting.
Thorstenson, wishing to clear
up a "lack of communication,"
seemed to bore the audience by
reading the sections of the
rationale for S-N grades omitted
in Tuesday's ASP. He termed
Pass-Fa il the most feasible
solution to the inadequate grading
system presently in existence, but
by no means a total answer to the
problem.
Student objections to the plan
centered on thje very partial
nature of the recommendations.
Concern was expressed for the
"shock effect" that would be
experienced by students in the
Junior year upon return to the
conventional grading system.
Why students could not "map
out their own destiny" was also
an area of interest. Since Juniors
and Seniors would still be taking
lower level courses with freshmen
and sophomores for A,B,C,D,E
credit, instructors would still be
obligated to teach on the present
basis.
A partial system (mixing S-N
courses with those taken on a
conventional basis) was regarded
as a totally unacceptable solution
since students would let S-N
s u b j e c t s slide and concern
themselves with those with an
A,B,C,D,E grade.
The Pass-Fail proposal would
provide creativity, educational
development and practicality to
the learning process on this
c a m p u s , a c c o r d i n g to the
committee.
"No one thinks he has the
grading problem licked," said
Thorstenson, but the adaption of
Pass-Fail would be a beginning
towards that end.
